World's Tallest Man Celebrates 40th Birthday - Guinness World Records

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.

[Draxelate]

Respect for this man who still holding the record for the tallest man

[calebolson]

Wherever this man goes, he can honestly say that he's the tallest person in the room

[Society_is_Fucked]

We shouldn't parade him or oggle at him.
We should love and appreciate him for the happiness he brings to everyday people for being himself.

He looks like a wonderful guy and a joy to be around with! Hoping for many more years of awesomeness for Sultan.

happy birthday sultan! all hail his living and i really hope hes having it well

[peacemyheart]

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.

[justintyme]

I already stood next to the wax figure of Robert Wadlow, but it will also be nice to stand next to his, because there are videos of him and him engaging with fans and everything

My brother in law is 7 feet tall and has trouble with finding automobiles, hotel rooms, hotel beds, hotel bathrooms. I cant imagine being taller than 8 feet and having to deal with a world designed for 5 to 6.5 foot tall people.
