World Tallest Man met World Shortest Man

At 8’9″, Sultan Kösen, from Turkey, is the tallest man in the world. At 21 and a half inches, Chandra Bahadur Dangi, from Nepal, is the shortest. Today, the two met for the first time in London, for the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day.

And it was magical.

Kosen is 31-years-old and works as a farmer. Dangi, meanwhile, is 74 and has a job making placemats and head straps for villagers.

“Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives,” Kosen, a 31-year-old farmer, told AFP. “And when I look into Chandra’s eyes I can see he is a good man.”
