The current world’s tallest man, 57-year-old Bao Xishun who stands at 2.36m (7ft 8.95in) tall will soon be dismiss of his title by another Chinese named Zhao Liang a 27-year-old who stands at 2.46m (just under 8ft 1in). That’s a whole 10 centimeter taller!


Mr. Zhao was only recently discovered after going to Tianjin hospital where he got his height measured when he was being treated for his foot injury. However, Mr. Zhao will not be officially recognised as the ‘world’s tallest man’ until official judges of the Guinness team measures him which is exactly what he intends to do.


Not surprising however is that Mr. Zhao was an ex-basketball player until he’s injury stopped his career. He has been in a street art troupe since 2006 where he performs magic trick, play instruments and the like. Together with his large stature, he’s bound to captivate his audiences.


I gotta get myself some of what his average-height parents feed him.
