Tallest Man In The World 0

Meet Leonid Stadnyk, the official Guinness Book of Records tallest man in the world, measuring in at an astounding 8 feet 5 inch's.

Leonid is a 39-year-old former veterinarian who resides in Podoliantsi, a tiny village in Ukraine.

He has been quoted as saying his height is 'God's biggest punishment for me' and refuses to look in the mirror. (He appears to be a rather good looking fellow, despite his size.)

Even though he is now a local celebrity, Leonid Stadnyk lives a modest life with his mother in a cramped three-room, one-story home in northwestern Ukraine.
