Sultan Kösen, the world's tallest living person, went on a recent visit to the United States of America to celebrate his 40th birthday.
Standing at 8 ft 2.8 in, Sultan has some difficulty walking, so uses a mobility scooter but he's always happy to stop and taking pictures with fans.

My favorite part is that the recognition of his record has made him happy and sociable instead of reclusive and unhappy.

I'm glad people don't treat him differently, like he is some kind of freak of nature. Celebrating his height as an achievement is the way to go. If he is happy, then in the end, that is all that matters.

Guiness. While I was looking through Christiano ronaldos family tree, I noticed that his great grandparents' dead or alive status shows that his great grandpa is alive 1900 June 14th. 122. Can you look more into this if you ever see this. Because I want to see if this is real or not because of the age difference of the world's oldest person today at 111

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Modern medicine probably doubled his life expectancy. They briefly mentioned the tumor removed from his brain. I'm glad he enjoys his life.

[@panukornrojanasomsith3304]

Hope he can hit 50 y.o. he looks healthy.

[@benouzgane]

I'm hoping he's coming to Alberta soon. He's welcome to meet me and my friends, though for clear reasons, we're having to go to West Edmonton Mall somewhere.

[@pipj14u2nv1]

He's not the world's tallest man it is Sulemana Abdul Samed from Ghana. Let's you know Guinness book is not accurate

[@markstevenson7577]

He only stands at 7'4" nearly a foot shorter than zoltan.

[@pattraparojanasomsith4666]

2:13 until 2:18 If he sits in this electric wheelchair more often, he may hit 50 y.o. becuase he doesn't have to duck at all. Duck for a long period of time can cause injury or pain. Pain or injury can reduce their lifespan.

Robert Wadlow's wax figure look like Dahmer

[@gomukaizoku]

I wonder if some kind of body training to help his muscles support his humongous height would make his life easier to live. Also, how monstrous he would be if he would become some kind of body builder. In the end, his worst enemy is gravity and the strain it puts on him and his joints.

[@LS-Moto]

His growth resulted from a tumor, so while some muscle training would help, I don't think he is able to build up so much muscle, to eventually move around normally.
