Julius Charles, 28-year old man from Dar es salaam, Tanzania is believed to be the world’s tallest man according to his age.
He is also referred as Julius The Giant and he believes that he will continue growing taller and taller because he is still young and hopes to make it to the Guinness book of world records.
Julius is 2 meters and 60 cm tall. He is the second born in a family of 7 children.
“My growth is not caused by any kind of disease like others mentioned brain tumor. I only happened to grow bigger than others,” he said.
Not only does he have an extreme height, but also a big voice and feet. He only puts on imported clothes from Sweden because they are extremely big and it is not easy to find clothes that fit him in Africa.
The tall man is however unhappy with his body size because people insult him and it stood in the way of his education.
According to Afrimax English, at birth, Julius weighed 22 pounds which equals to about 10 kgs and at the age of 10 years, he was taller than all members of his family and his agemates.
“My growth brought me a lot of disadvantages especially in college, by then I had become very tall so I was forced to quit school for I had already become the college’s breaking news. Wherever I was, scholars were staring at me with shock, for that reason, many schools rejected me because I had become like a distraction,” he said.
Julius has no close friend in his native land, he can not ride in a normal car, fit on the normal bed size or chair, and it is even difficult for him to get into a relationship.
His height however also came as a blessing because that has seen him travel to different parts of the world, he easily got into a basketball team in America and got friends abroad. He is a brand ambassador of various companies and also an actor.
