| Robert Wadlow (1918-1940) – 8ft11. Tallest man in History. Born in 1918, Robert is still to this day known as the tallest person in medical history. When the Pathe cameras went to film him in 1935, he was a mere 8ft1. When they returned the next year, he was 8ft4. By the time of his death at just aged 22, he had grown to 8ft11’’. In this picture, he is surrounded by his family and even though his father was 6ft, none of them stand much above his waist. |

| In this still, Robert was now 8ft4 and still had some way to go before he reached his final height of 8ft11. On record, there has only been about 18 people in history who have reached over 8ft tall. |
