Meet Broc Brown: World’s tallest teenager who has reached 7ft 8 inches

TOP NEWS

The 19-year-old Michigan teenager Broc Brown has become internet sensation for his unusual height and the guy hasn’t yet stopped growing.

Brown is 7ft 8 inches tall and he adds around six inches every year to his height and if things carry on the way they have been, he could soon surpass the current world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, who is 8ft 2inches, said the Metro UK.

His giant physique is a result of genetic disorder which he was diagnosed with at the age of five.
