Big-hearted giant’s search for wife

For many lonely hearts, finding love is a tall order – particularly if you measure 8ft 1in.
Women used to run scared from the world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, who was unveiled at an event in London.
But now he is hoping his new-found fame will bring him love for the first time.
Turkish Mr Kosen, who also has the largest hands (27.5cm) and feet (36.5cm) on the globe, said his size had put women off and he had never even had a girlfriend.
The 27-year-old said: “The first thing I want to do is have a car that I can fit in but more than that I want to get married.
“Up until now it’s been really difficult to find a girlfriend. I’ve never had one, they were usually scared of me. I’m hoping now I will find one.”
He went on: “It was really difficult for me to find a girlfriend before but hopefully now that I’m famous I’ll be able to meet lots of girls. I’d like to get married.”
One the difficulties of being so tall is getting clothes which fit – Mr Kosen wore a specially-made suit to meet journalists which was one of the first outfits he has owned that is the right size.
Mr Kosen said: “The most difficult things are, for example, that I can’t fit into a normal car. When I get into a car, it’s a really tight fit. I can’t go shopping like normal people, I have to have things made specially and sometimes they aren’t always as fashionable. The other thing is that ceilings are low and I have to bend down through doorways.”

They don’t get around very much if they think 36.5-cm feet are the biggest on the globe. That’s only a size 21-22 US.

Q: Why isn’t his hand any longer?
A: If it was it would be a foot!

Sorry had to be said.

Poor fella looks to young to be needing crutches to walk around on, and his hands look like they would be giving him some grief as well.

Best of luck to him finding a wife.
