When Patricia Clarke, 24, found out she was going to have a baby in 1983, she had a strong feeling that her unborn child would be big. She knew about the large families in her background since she had already given birth once. But the size of the baby she was carrying was totally surprising. Patricia welcomed Kevin Robert Clark into the world, who weighed over 16 pounds—an enormous baby! He became known as the biggest infant ever born at Community Memorial Hospital and maybe even in all of New Jersey back then.
Kevin’s parents were happy to learn he was completely healthy, even though he couldn’t fit into a regular crib and his baby clothes were too small. As you might expect, his size stood out right away. His fame grew after appearing on shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America,” among others.
Unfortunately for everyone else, Kevin wasn’t done being in the spotlight yet. By age 12, he measured 5 feet and 7 inches tall according to reports from New York Post. When he started junior high school, he shot up to an impressive height of 6 feet and 5 inches! He kept growing after that too.“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin shared with the Post.“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21! When people wonder if I play basketball, I ask them if they play mini golf.”
Today Tom is now aged forty years old; his wife who is also six feet tall along with their Great Dane live together with him; he’s a former soldier.Being taller than most people has just become normal for him actually; it’s something he’s used to doing with his long strides.Tom recently measured at an amazing height of six feet nine inches.Watch this video below for more about his incredible story:
