Guinness World Records said that the 27 yr. old SULTAN KOSEN, from the town of Mardin in Eastern Turkey, is now officially the tallest man walking the planet with a height of 8 foot and 1 inch (2.47 meter). Although Ukrainian Leonid Stadyik , the previous record holder allegedly measured 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 meters), Guinness said he was deprived of his title because of refusing to let anyone to confirm his height for the reason of being tired of being the public eye.
