This one is actually Photoshopped. But do you really think tall people don’t exist, and it’s always a Photoshop job? You are wrong for sure. Let us take you through some of the tallest people in recorded history, both living and dead. As per current statistics, Robert Wadlow was the tallest man from the United States. He lived from 1918 to 1940 with a height of 8′ 11.1″ (272 cm).

The tallest man alive is Sultan Kösen from Turkey, measuring 8′ 2.8″ (251 cm). Extremely tall people generally suffer from hormonal diseases, which is the chief reason for their long height and shorter lives.
