    You can see how much pain he was in when he walked. His hips and and back were literally collapsing beneath his frame as he walked.

    My family is from Brighton, and my grandfather met Mr. Wadlow. I also recommend visiting the statue.

    There wouldn't be much of a riveting story and they would have to find an extremely tall and halfway adept actor to play the part on top of using techniques to make him appear nearly 9 feet tall for the film. That costs money, it sounds like a pain, and there's no inkling that such a film would make a profit.

He may have died at age 22, but he left as the tallest human ever after 100 billion grazed this earth, thats just fn amazing ❤❤

    His height probably contributed to having a poorer immune system, considering his heart had to work harder to fully circulate blood throughout his body. He was already walking with a cane, just to support his weight.
