The world's tallest man – who also has the largest hands and feet – has been named by Guinness World Records for the launch of its 2010 book. At 8 feet 1 inch, Sultan Kosen, from Turkey, is about 4 inch taller than previous title-holder Bao Xishun. The 27-year-old's hands measure 10.8 inch and his feet 14.3 inches. Mr. Kosen, whose height is due to the medical condition pituitary gigantism, said he hoped his new-found fame would bring him love for the first time. He said the first thing he wants to do is to have a car that he can fit in, but more than that he wants to get married. One of the difficulties of being so tall is getting clothes which fit and Mr. Kosen wore a specially-made suit to meet journalists. He also had to have a three-metre-long bed made. A spokesman for Guinness World Records said Mr. Kosen is the first person in more than a decade to be more than 8 feet in height.
