00:00 CHASE: My legs are 51 inches long. I believe
I can keep the record for America's Longest Legs.
00:09 COMM: Chase Kennedy, at 22-year-old student
and model thinks she can claim the title of America's longest legs from Holly Burt.
00:18 CHASE: When I saw Holly's video I was kind
of bummed because I thought maybe her legs were longer than mine and I'll never get the
title but then I measured myself and found out I'm actually longer than Holly's legs.
00:30 COMM: Her legs measure 51 inches from hip
to the floor and incredibly she already knows Lauren Williams, the model who Holly took
the title from, but Chase doesn't think her claim will affect their friendship.
00:42 CHASE: Lauren and I are kind of competitive
but not really, I feel like we're more encouraging of each other. I've always been tall, but
I mean when I was younger I was always taller than everyone so I've always just kind of
been tall since I was little and growing up always taller than the guys.
00:57 CHRIS: And I would hold her and her legs would
just flop, they'd just hang.
01:01 COMM: Chase is six foot five and has 51 inch
legs. Unsurprisingly she comes from a tall family, her dad Matthew is 6ft 7". Her two
brothers are 6ft 5" and 6ft 6", and the shortest is mum Chris, even she is 5ft 11".
01:19 CHASE: Being a tall family is definitely different
just because if we go to like lunch or something sitting at a table and you happen to hit knees
sometimes or if you're going to a movie theatre and you're sitting down and we all take up
one row we kind of create a wall. When I was younger I wish I was smaller just so I could
blend in because when you're standing out it's kind of hard to feel like you belong
but as I've grown older I feel like it's better, it makes me. It's became like who I am.
01:48 CHASE: It became an asset with sports so like
volleyball and basketball I played in high school, and it definitely helped when you're
getting picked for a team or something in sports you would want the taller person.
02:00 MATTHEW: I mean people have always asked us
wasn't it hard for Chase being tall? But my response is she's always been so tall so I
don't think she was ever abused or ridiculed because of her height and I think it gave
her a lot of confidence as she was growing up.
02:15 COMM: Chase was initially turned down by many
modelling agencies for being too tall, but she's managed to build her career over the
last three years.
02:23 CHASE: Yeah I appeared in a Lady Gaga video,
it was at the Hearst Castle which is kind of local near here so that was a pretty rad
experience.
02:32 COMM: Chase always knew her legs were long,
but it wasn't until she watched Barcroft TV's video about Holly Burt that she decided to
measure her limbs.
02:41 CHASE: When I first saw it I was like wow
her legs are very long and I was trying to think like, are my legs longer than that but
then i measured myself and found out I'm actually longer than Holly's legs.
02:52 COMM: Her legs are an inch and a half longer
than Holly's, and a full two inches longer than Lauren Williams'.
02:58 CHASE: Yeah my friendship with Lauren Wiliams,
I've worked with her multiple times before with modelling in LA and such and we have
gone up against each other with our legs too.
03:08 CHASE: Lauren and I are kind of competitive
but not really, I feel like we're more encouraging of each other.
03:13 WOMAN: I wouldn't like to have legs that long
because it would throw me off as I've always been short and I wouldn't know what it's like
to be that tall. Might throw off my balance.
03:21 WOMAN: I mean if I had the chance to have
legs that long I would probably want to have long legs.
03:26 CHASE: I would not change my height, I would
be the height I am because I'm just so used to it and I thought about okay if I was shorter
would I like it more but at the end of the day I'm really happy to be as tall as I am.
03:39 COMM: Chase believes she can keep the record
for the world's longest legs, will there be anyone to challenge her?
