What if Robert Wadlow was 10 meters tall like the size of a telephone Pole?

[@davepowell7168]

I would like to have had the privilege of meeting this fine young man and hope that there was a love in his unfortunately short life

[@GordonHeaney]

Guinness Book of Records has him measured at 8 foot 11 3/4 inches, so was closer to 9 feet tall. In his shoes, he would have been over 9 feet tall.

I’m pretty certain this is the man standing beside my grandmother in a photo I have. He visited the Red Food Store in Chattanooga TN, where she worked, possibly as a promotion.

Such an inspirational young man! He would make a wonderful role model for all young people (and us older people can learn from this lovely young man)...

[@cammieg4381]

I feel sorry for what he went through - specifically growing pains! Remarkable man.

[@jerrydavenport6645]

I grew up in Alton Illinois, Wadlow will be remembered.

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

9:10 - that is definitely not his gravestone. And why is it blurred out? You need to fix that.

[@CainNuke]

If not because a medical condition, being the tallest is great. For many years I was always the tallest wherever I went and it really makes you feel special, however in the recent months walking down the street I have bumped into taller guys more and more

[@CainNuke]

And it doesnt feel good…

[@Catedancej]

Very interesting. Thankyou for sharing Roberts great life.

[@Teeb2023]

Great life?!? He died aged 22!

[@Eden_Rivers]

I'm very tall, but not quite that tall!! What an extraordinary life. I relate to a lot of it, actually.

[@KD400_]

How tall. Because women usually aren't that tall anyway

I am the exact same height as Robert.....when he was 8 years old

[@eviehammond9509]

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your thoughtful & respectful narration. You caught me off guard when you said, " teenagers today bitch & moan"!!😂but you hit the nail right on the head with that one!! Thank you for introducing us to this amazing man. To know someone who lived through those very difficult times, as my parents did ( Depression years) as an average human being was extraordinary, but to do it with the challenges Robert faced & do it with kindness & grace is just amazingly extraordinary!! Sorry I am sure there are better words to use, but they escape me in my waking hours!😂 I honestly could listen to you read the phone book or TV guide ( geez do they even make those anymore?)😅 Your pleasant voice is just a joy. Please keep doing what you're doing because you're damn good at it.❤I look forward to your future content with great anticipation. Take Care...

I am an inch taller than Robert. It's difficult. 😢

[@claytoncohen4804]

I've seen a number of documentaries on this person. It said the way he passed . Could he be saved in our time . Maybe. At some point, doesn't the petuitaregland run out of energy? Or does it just keep making people tall? I do not know this answer

[@rodeomom1149]

Do u know if he had marfans disease /syndrome?

[@beadedlife247]

@@rodeomom1149 my good friend has marfans so I am familiar. I would think it’s very very possible that he did. I wonder if the medical circles would have known about marfans in those days. Idk.

Why did everyone talk like an auctioneer back then.

[@doug6259]

He should have gone into basketball. All he needed to do was stand by the hoop and wait for a pass to then deposit with little effort.

[@ChrisEason-e1u]

He was not 6 ft 3 in at 6 months old some people are so used to clickbaiting their videos that they do it when they don't even have to

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

Who ever said he was 6ft 3in at six months old?

[@lynetteowens946]

His coffin and the flowers surrounding it looked lovely. I hope that where ever he is in heaven he knew there was a statue made in his honour

[@mmaranta785]

He could dunk a basketball without jumping
