Men come in all shapes and sizes and forms, but some of these guys are just unbelievable!
Join me as I show you some men that you likely didn't know existed!
20.
Sultan Kösen Over the generations of human life, there
have been many large and tall people.
But in the world today, the largest living human is a man named Sultan Kösen.
A man who when measured in 2009 was the first person to be over 8 feet tall (as measured
by the Guinness Book of World Records) in over 20 years.
His full height (which was measured a few years after) is 8 feet 2 inches tallest.
Sultan Kösen was born in 1982, but surprisingly, his "growth spurt" didn't happen until he
was 10 years old.
If you're curious as to how something like this happens, it's a rare condition called
"pituitary gigantism".
Your body has a natural entity in the brain called the pituitary gland, and it's that
gland that allows you to grow via hormones.
It regulates how much you grow based on genetics.
However, at times, it can basically run amok, causing gigantism like with Sultan Kösen.
There are many struggles to have an unnaturally sized body, including not being able to fit
into many buildings, finding the right sized clothes, and participating in certain "average"
events.
However, Sultan Kösen has made the most of his size.
Has gotten married, and has even joined the circus and starred in Hollywood movies.

Tom Staniford If you look at Tom Staniford, you'll notice
right away that there is something off about him, but you may not know exactly what.
Well, Staniford has been diagnosed with MDP Syndrome.
Which is not only rare, it's EXTREMELY rare!
So much so that only 8 people in the ENTIRE WORLD have this very rare illness.
But what exactly does this illness do?
Well, it makes it so that fat cannot be stored under his skin, thus giving him a very thin
and honestly scary looking physique, which is personified by his face.
The irony though is that he does have fat in his body, it's just in his bloodstream,
and because of that, he has Type-II diabetes.
Yet despite his conditions, he refuses to let it weigh him down, so he became a renown
cyclist, even winning races in Britan.
18.
Rolf Buchholz You ever look at a guy or gal and go, "Yeah,
I'm glad I'm not like them"?
Likely because of something they did to their body that you couldn't fathom doing?
Well, for this narrator, that would be Rolf Buchholz, because this is a guy who thought
it would be a good idea to get 453 piercings on his body.
That's not only wrong, that's scary wrong.
I mean think about it from this perspective, there are so many in his body that his body
functions have to be hindered by them.
Especially in his eyes because he's got piercings everywhere!
Seriously though, who just wakes up one day and goes, "I want 453 piercings in my body"?
Like I said, glad I'm not him.
17.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Anyone who has watched or heard of Game of
Thrones likely knows Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.
Because this was the man who played The Mountain Gregor Clegane for 5 seasons.
And his impactful presence in Season 4 when he debuted as the "new" Mountain made waves.
This man was built like a literal mountain, and he had the accolades in real life to prove
it.
Including winning the Arnold Strongman Classic, Europe's Strongest Man and World's Strongest
Man in the same calendar year.
The FIRST guy to ever do that.
While many scenes he did in GOT were classic, his skull cracking fight against Oberon is
still remembered to this day.

Jeremy Meeks Ok, I want you to take a look at Jeremy Meeks
via these pictures, what do you think is right or wrong with this guy?
Yes, he's a criminal, but look beyond that, what do you think he has or had or whatever
to make him make this list?
A physical condition?
Nope.
A mental condition?
Nope.
Technically speaking, he has nothing special about him.
But don't tell that to the online masses, because when he was arrested on weapon charges
in 2015, his mugshot went viral.
Not because he had a weird one, but because it was deemed that he was "super hot" in it.
Yep, people liked Jeremy Meeks because he had a "hot" mugshot.
What a world we live in.
Oh, and he's still in jail by the way.
15.
Kaleem (#1 on the video reference) This is Kaleem, a boy that every single one
of us should sympathize with, because he was born with unnaturally big hands.
So big were they that they measured well over a foot from pinky to thumb.
And as you can see, the rest of his body didn't grow with him, making this all the more tragic.
He's had to quit school because of bullying, and no one is sure of why he has these massive
hands because his family cannot take him to a doctor for a diagnosis.
14.
Patrick Deuel You've likely seen stories or watched TLC
shows about people who are several overweight, but in the case of Patrick Deuel, he put them
all to shame, all the while being shamed himself because of his size.
Want to take a guess to how massive he was?
Well, it wasn't 800 pounds, or 900 pounds, or even 1000 pounds.
At one point in time Patrick weighed an astounding 1072 pounds.
Making him the heaviest person in the world (and heavier than a large portion of animals
might I add).
His story did take a turn for the better because he had a gastric bypass surgery that allowed
him to get 500 pounds off of his body.
Still, that would mean he weighs over 500 pounds, and that's still not healthy.
13.
Carlos Halfy Rodriguez I'm not trying to make you sick, I swear,
and I promise you this is a real guy with a real condition, just not the one you're
expecting.
You see, when he was a teenager he got into a car accident that caused him to hit a pole.
Doing so caused his head to have a serious deformity that is now on display for the whole
world to see.
However, his experience has humbled him, and he is using his new form to teach kids the
perils and dangers of dangerous driving, especially when it involves drugs and alcochol.
12.
Arlindo de Souza Ok, how many of you out there like to pump
iron?
Like to buff up your muscles so that you can push your strength to the max?
I'm sure many of you know some muscle heads, but do you know any like Arlindo De Souza?
I doubt it.
To be clear, Arlindo here didn't go and do his training the regular way, he injected
his arms with Synthol.
Which is an oil/water mix that can be injected into the body to give a "bloated" look.
What exactly does this do for the body?
Nothing, actually.
It does not increase strength, it just makes the body part look more muscular than it already
is.
And as you can see from these pictures, it only translates to the area that is injected,
giving a very un proportional look to the user.
I'll build my muscles the regular way, thank you.
11.
Nick Stoberl I mean...do I have to say it?
He has a long tongue, that's his claim to fame.
How long is it...?
Ugh.
Ok, fine!
It is nearly four inches in length.
Can we move on now?
Thanks.
10.
Amoo Hadji This man here named Amoo Hadji is either the
dirtiest man on Earth, or your personal hero.
Why?
Because this is a man who claims (we can't technically prove this...and likely no one
else can either) that he hasn't taken a bath or bathed...or 60 years!
Yeah, you heard me, 60 years!
Think about that, think about all the things that are told to use by our parents or guardians
about what happens if we don't take a bath for a few days, now imagine that for 60 years!
Plot twist though, his body doesn't seem to care, because he's 80 years old.
So...were our parents wrong?
Who wants to do an experiment to find out!?
9.
Tran Van Hay Ok, now this is a guy I can respect, because
Tran Van Hay decided that his hair was too precious to cut, and according to his wife,
he didn't cut it for 50 years!!!!
By the time he passed away it was over 22 feet long and weighed over 20 pounds!
That's a big set of hair!
But why did he let it grow so long?
Well it wasn't because of vanity like I teased earlier.
Rather, he had gotten sick after getting previous haircuts, and he didn't want that to happen
again.
Makes sense to me!
8.
Chandra Dangi Often times records are made about the tallest
men in the world, and we've already showed you one.
But what about the smallest man in the world?
Or more accurately, the smallest to ever live?
That would be Chandra Dangi, who was no taller than 1 foot nine inches tall.
That's REALLY short.
Yet as of 2015, he was still alive and well, and he died in September of that year at the
ripe old age of 75.
Which goes to show that his height did not hinder him in living life.
7.
Mehmet Ozyurek Ladies, do you know what they say about men
with a big nose?
Well, if you believe that, then you need to meet Mehmet Ozyurek, who has the guinness
world record for the largest nose in the world.
Insert your own jokes here.
6.
Yu Zhenhuan Let's look at Yu Zhenhuan and see what makes
him so special.
Him...he's got really expressive eyes.
I'm kidding, clearly he's on this list because of his massive amounts of hair!
In fact, he was listed in 2015 as the "hairiest man in the world", which is an honor that
is...cool?
I mean, we've all seen some hairy guys, but he almost looks like a monkey in regards to
where the hair is growing and how much of it he has.
And just like you would expect from a guy like this, trying to find a person to date
is quite rough, and he's still single as far as we can tell.
5.
Ram Singh Chauhan Men, if you have a mustache, you know that
you need to take care of it, and some of you try and grow it out into a refined state that
many can appreciate.
But none of you have anything compared to Ram Singh Chauhan, who as of 2015 had the
longest mustache in the world.
How big is the stache?
14 feet in length.
Can you imagine what it must've taken to get that length?
30 years apparently.
4.
Paul Karason Many of the people on this list have conditions
or afflictions that led to them being standouts, but in the case of Paul Karason, he has no
one to blame but himself for how he looks now.
No, that is not a makeup job, or a skin condition in the traditional sense, he is honestly a
blue man.
You see, he decided that to try and treat his dermatitis that he would drink a special
kind of silver.
Yeah, you read that right, this guy drank large amounts of silver, and as a result of
Argyria, his skin turned blue.
He eventually got the nickname of "Papa Smurf".
He apparently didn't mind the blue skin, and lived happily until the age of 62 where he
died of a heart attack.
3.
Sanju Bhagat This story is rather horrifying in context,
because Sanju Bhagat contains something very weird in his belly that is very elongated...his
twin.
That's right.
When he was born, his twin brother was apparently merged within him in the genetic sense (which
happens more often than you might think, just not with these results).
The odd thing is that he didn't know about this until he went to a doctor in his adult
years after it became a medical "issue".
He had always though he just had a large gut.
2.
Robert Waldo I found Waldo!
And he's HUGE!
If you wish to look for the biggest man in the history of history, then Robert Waldo
is your guy, and he was so big that he measured an unprecedented 8 feet 11 inches tall.
Can you imagine trying to live a life with that size?
Think about all the things you'd have to have custom made so that you could live well.
Your house would have to be very spacious, you'd have to have clothes custom made so
that they could fit your length, your width, and still be flexible, that's not exactly
a cheap ask, you know?
And that's not to mention food.
Tall guys like Waldo and Saltan need many more calories to sustain the body, and thus,
money is an issue via their height problems.
Not to mention the health problems that comes with having such a height.
1.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri Have you ever heard of the Tom Hanks film,
"The Terminal"?
About a guy who lives at an airport because of political issues and such?
Well, that was based on the real life story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri.
Who literally lived at an airport in France for 18 years!
Long story short, he lost his travel papers after being exiled from Iran, so he couldn't
enter France, and couldn't go back home.
Eventually, he did leave the airport, but only because he required hospitalization,
not exactly the happy ending he deserved, don't you think?
Thanks for watching everyone!
What did you think of this very varied group of men?
Can you believe what some of them are and what they can do?
Do you know another man who could've made this list?
