Leonid, who wears a
talked about how his
height was a curse, why he
refused to be measured by
the Guinness Book of World Records and also why he
refused to get married "To me, my height is a
curse, a punishment
from God, not
something to
celebrate. What sin I
have committed, I do not know. All my life
I have dreamed of
being just like
everyone else. I don't
want or need the
fame that this would bring so I have no
desire to be in this
Guinness book. "I never got married
because I don't want
to inflict my problems
on a wife. I think it
would not be fair on
her" he said. At one point, his condition,
called giganticism, left him
growing at the rate of
roughly a foot every 3
years. His feet measured 18
inches in length while his palms were more than a
foot in diameter

Most people that tall do not live to an old age cos its a medical condition that causes it and it affects other parts of their bodies.
