The tallest man in history EVER (Photos)

On Feb. 22, 1918, a perfectly normal 4kgs  boy was born to Harold and Addie Wadlow of Alton, Illinois. He died in 1940
By his first birthday, Robert Wadlow weighed 20Kgs and stood 1,1metres

He kept growing, towering over his father at age eight. At 13 years old and 2,2metres, he was the world’s tallest Boy Scout.

Wadlow was a quiet and mild-mannered young man, which led to him be called a “gentle giant.” He enjoyed photography and playing guitar — until his hands grew too large to do either.

A hyperactive pituitary gland fueled his extraordinary growth. Wadlow broke the record for world’s tallest man when he reached 2,55 metres  in 1937.
