(New York Post) They went to great lengths to reunite.
Sultan Kösen, 41, who holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest living man, and Jyoti Amge, 30, the world’s shortest living woman, had breakfast together in California on Monday, according to media reports. They last met in 2018 for a photo shoot in Egypt.
An incredible 8 feet, 2.8 inches tall, Kösen in 2009 became the first man over 8 feet tall to be measured by Guinness World Records in more than 20 years.
The part-time farmer from Turkey grew nearly 2 inches, to his current height, in the two years after he was initially measured.
Kösen was diagnosed with acromegaly, which is typically caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland.
The tumor produces an excess amount of growth hormone, which can lead to gigantism.
