Born in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918, Robert Wadlow was just like any other baby.
However, by the age of one, he was over 3 feet tall and by his eighth birthday – nearly twice that!
At 13 years old, Robert was the tallest Boy Scout in the world – an astounding 7 feet, 4 inches.
In 1936, he joined a traveling circus, drawing massive crowds.
Two years later, he became the spokesman for a shoe company and as a perk, received free shoes (size 37AA). (In comparison, Shaquille O'Neal’s shoe size is 23)
Due to his extreme height, Robert suffered from a lack of feeling in his legs.
Refusing to use a wheelchair, he chose to wear special braces to help him walk. Tragically, at the age of 22, one of his leg braces caused an infection which ultimately led to the premature death of the gentle, ‘Alton Giant’.
Robert’s last recorded measurement (18 days prior to his passing) was 8 feet, 11.1 inches! What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Not much, really!
