The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun, has recently become the world's tallest father, but his normal-size son could have trouble filling his Dad's big shoes.

I wonder if he is bigger on every part of his body?

If so i feel bad for his wife!

Bao Xishun, born in Inner Mongolia, measured at 236 centimeters (7 ft 8.95 in) tall at the Chifeng City Hospital. Bao Xishun has no growth disorder like gigantism[citation needed] — unlike the tallest man ever, Robert Wadlow, and the previous tallest living man, Leonid Stadnyk. Two other men, Ajaz Ahmed and the late Vikas Uppal, have claimed to be over 8 feet tall, but these claims have not been independently verified. Bao suffers from rheumatism, although this has been attributed to his childhood habit of sleeping outdoors, rather than a height-linked disorder.
