World's Tallest Man Meets World's Shortest Man

  • 10 years ago
You probably wouldn’t think the world’s tallest man, who stands 8 feet 3 inches and the 21 and a half inch shortest male have much in common. Well, the two recently met in London and it seems like they do.

The world’s tallest man, who stands 8 feet 3 inches, and the world's smallest man, who is only 21 1/2 inches in height, recently met in London and found they have more in common than one might think.

According to the taller man, Sultan Kosen, he and Chandra Bahadur Dangi get along great.

Kosen remarked, “Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives and, when I look into Chandra's eyes, I can see he's a good man.”

The revelation is surprising, as not only are the two different in their appearances, but there is also quite an age gap between them.

Kosen is 31 years of age, while Dangi is 75 years old. Kosen isn’t the only one who feels grateful to have met his polar opposite.

Dangi said the opportunity to see Kosen in person and interact with him was very special. The pair’s first meeting occurred at the St Thomas' Hospital during the festivities surrounding the 60th anniversary of Guinness World Records and Guinness World Records Day.

Changi is from Nepal, and Kosen is from Turkey.
