Advertisements

You know how in ancient legends there are 10-feet-tall giants towering above mere mortals? Yeah, those are not myths, there are actual living people who’d give those old folk tales a run for their money. Ready or not, they’re already here – 10 real life giants you won’t believe exist!

 

 

Romario Dos Santos Alves (Brazil)
This guy is a living proof that using Synthol will give you a number of health issues if you use it constantly for a prolonged period of time. This enhancement drug increased his muscle mass to unbelievable sizes. It was all great at first, everyone was calling him “the Hulk”, but when the sh#t hit the fan, he suffered kidney failure, and almost had both of his arms amputated. He got lucky.

Arlindo De Souza (Brazil)
Yet another Brazilian bodybuilder, who decided to go the “easy way”, and just as Romario, he became addicted to Synthol. You can guess what happened next.

Denis Cyplenkov (Ukraine)
Meet Denis. Denis is a professional bodybuilder, multiple times won Ukrainian and European arm wrestling championships, and is also sometimes compared to the Hulk. Guess what he didn’t do… That’s right – Synthol. Stay safe, and work on your body the hard way. At 186 cm (6.1 ft) height, his weight is 140 kg (309 lb), and his biceps is 62 cm (24 inches). Unreal!

Shaquille O’Neal (United States)

Brahim Takioullah (Morocco)
Meet Brahim, the tallest man from Morocco, who is also the second tallest living person in the world. Brahim Takioullah has the largest feet in the world – over 38 cm (15 inches) – and you know what they say about men with big feet, right? Yeah, that they wear big shoes, of course!

Sultan Kösen (Turkey)
And lastly, the tallest living man in the world – Sultan from Turkey. His enormous height is 2.51 m (8 ft 3 in), just like Vikas Uppal. Just like many other giants, he had a tumor that affected his pituitary gland, which controls growth. The gland was eventually removed from his brain, and the growth stopped.
