Today in South Eastern Turkey, I met Sultan Kösen -- AKA THE WORLD'S TALLEST MAN!!!
I first heard about Sultan in 2009, when he was awarded a Guinness World Record title for his astounding height of 251 centimeters, or 8 feet 2 inches -- that's almost 3 feet taller than me!
Even though Sultan is a giant on the outside, I realized that he's incredibly gentle, warm, and friendly on the inside. We were all laughing for the 3 hours we spent together.
This was a very special video to make because Sultan invited us into his house, in a tiny village, where his parents (surprisingly) cooked us breakfast after the interview. It was an amazing experience, and quite an emotional morning after hearing about some of the struggles that Sultan has been through in his life (i.e. needing to get multiple surgeries to stop his growth)... But nowadays, he is as happy as can be!
This is the full story of Sultan Kösen!

Such a wonderful man. I hope his life is happy and comfortable. Peace to him and his family.

I love Sultan's personality. It's easy to see that he has his struggles but it looks like he has a positive outlook on life and I hope he enjoys his life for many years to come.
It's sad because people who are too tall or too short don't live very long because of organ growth deformity. He seems like such a good guy. I hope he lives a long, healthy and happy life
I was literally thinking the same thought...I'm really worried...
He died?

He said he took some radioactive treatment on the moment when the organs in his body felt like it should be

God bless you brother. You’re an amazing human being and I’m happy you have a family that loves you because you deserve it. Much love from Colombia 🇨🇴, South America
What a beautiful person inside and out. I hope he found the doctor willing to help him with his condition. God bless him.
He said his organs stopped growing after the surgery but I think thats not true, his heart is still growing man, such a good guy
Sweet
You're a very nice person.

Because that makes sense. Spend millions of $ in development etc for like 6 people in the world.
Thank you very much for the video! Sultan seems such a wonderful and down to earth man! Because of his extreme stature and the everyday challenges he encounters, it would be a fantastic gesture and a great way of caring if a house and a car was especially made for him, i.e a house with much more elevated ceilings and doorways, a car with more leg-room, etc. He would love that! This would be a great start to address the fundamental challenges for him. These are just my thoughts. Peace to him and his family! Such a great guy!
I was just thinking he needs a custom car so he can drive I think that would make his world

Great video I really enjoyed it the other guy abi was so emotional about meeting him and it was so nice when he bought the baglama to play for him I thought that was a beautiful gesture knowing he lives his music it seemed like a wonderful and emotional experience with a warm kind hearted human being we are privileged to see people like this in our time thnk u all ❤
I wish him good health and a long life! Sometimes being so far above everyone has it's downsides. I pray he stays healthy and happy. I hope people give him his privacy as well, a lot of people don't realize how difficult it sometimes it can be for him.
this man is 38...
and to think that people with the same problem usually struggle to get to their 20s, and he is actually doing great, this is just amazing...
@Eddie Arias If he's 38 now, he was 29 already in 2011.

@@ibrahimbatuhancaliskan672 I live in Saudi and I know many people named Sultan, they’re all males. There are girls named Sultana though. Sultan means emperor and Sultana means empress. I’m not sure if you mixed them up or if it’s different in Turkey.
What an awesome guy he is. I hope now he has a really good life as much as he can. Best of wishes to him and his family.
I think he really deserves the nickname "The Gentle Giant".What a great person he is and also his powerfull message to the world...treat it with kindness...really enjoyed this video
for someone with gigantism he actually looks very good for his age. hope he lives long and pain free as possible.
Im glad the surgeries successfully stopped him from growing, he looks quite happy to :) I wish him the best
Being interviewed for so many times, Sultan is still so kind and friendly with people.
You're so freaking cool dude!!!!! I love these video makes me smile the entire video I haven't found a person that made me smile through an entire video and you're that guy .
People are nice to you, because of your kindness and respect against them. Really nice to see you how you talk to the people with that much respect

he really does

It was so beautiful when Anil played the music and sang and he cried. He really is the definition of a gentle giant. I'm sorry that he had a hard life but hope that he's happy now.
A giant with a heart bigger than him❤️
This needs more likes 👍🏻
The guy looks humble . He should really live a longer life unlike other people who were really tall. Wish him a good and long life ahead.
P.s
To the people who are reading this comment, people who tend to be more than 8 ft tend to live lesser than average people. They Live till their 20s. So hence the comment.
Whats wrong with other people than sultan kosen whos tall?
randomplayer23 sadly some of them don’t survive
@@randomplayer2387 Most people with gigantism doesn't live that long. Back then, the tallest recorded man in the world is Robert Wadlow. He was born in 1918 but he died in 1940 at just 22 years old, which is pretty young. But then again, back in Robert's day, there was no medicine to treat gigantism yet. Nowadays, it's a different story. But I'm sure many people with gigantism tend to live shorter still, sadly.

the reason for this is that his vocal cords are elongated due to his size
Maybe the length between his vocal cords, his lungs, and his mouth are further away than the average person, causing a deeper voice.

Imagine if he had normal motor skills, like if only his legs could support his weight at that height it would be crazy really
At this extreme height, it's extremely rare to be fully mobile. Even for Sultan to walk as he does is quite impressive as many times these giants will be unable to stand.
Maybe the best example of a person being 8 ft or more and with normal motor skills is Bernard Coyne. He was roughly the same height as Sultan and had a normal walking gait and mobility.

Been exploring your videos. Thanks for creating and sharing. One thing: @12:00 it's noted that Sultan's social media will be shared in the description, but I can't find any of that information. Just wanted to check and see if that was intentional. Thanks.
He seems like he’s so kind. I feel so bad that he has these issues but it does seem he has a huge heart.

Talk about the friendly giant...it is sad that there are some challenges in his path, but honestly if I saw him I’d have nothing but respect for this man
Drew, did u ever invite him to Arizona? That would be a killer vid 👍
Taller or shorter, you are a human being only if you have emotions and kind heart. Mr. Sultan got emotional on listening folk song from the friend. No world record counts here, over being human. Have to learn from this guy. I also wish that he gets proper treatment very soon. Thank you Mr. Drew for your this meeting with Mr. Sultan and hope that you personally will do some favor for him.
