@@dreamthedream8929 Sadly, no. He was Harold Wadlow Jr. He died on Dec.31, 2000. Just before he died, he gave an interview about his brother Robert and how Robert always treated him like a king. And how he admired Robert so much.
My mother (1926 - 2019) grew up in Alton, Illinois in the same neighborhood as Robert Wadlow and knew him. She said that he never failed to say Hello to my mother and they went to the same school although not the same grade. He was never seen as a freak in Alton and was well-respected as the kind gentleman he was. My father and his father both worked at International Shoe Co. across the river in St Louis who made his shoes.
0:56 it makes me sad because he died so young and he looked happy with his siblings making him laugh. Of course, it was hard for him, but he shouldnt have died so young.
I love watching pictures or videos of him because you really see that he was loved from his family in every detail. Love is everything and that's why he looked so happy and was said to be so gentle.
Imagine being physically picked up by Robert. That would be such an amazing feeling. Bless him. It's nice to know he was very friendly and close with his family - especially his younger brother.
@@eeeff9737You’re correct. He had to wear leg braces because of the lack of feeling he had in his legs and feet. It was ultimately the brace that killed him, as it irritated his ankle and caused an infection that he died from
Why do you assume that? If a couple gives birth to a male (because Robert Wadlow was also a male) baby (or if the baby is still in the womb) and start: A - feeding him enough: ° sodium (if not more, 20 grams would be reasonable) (because sodium is a growth factor [1] and there is a term called "sodium deprivation growth failure"[2], besides the fact that chronic salt depletion causes diminished linear growth [3]); ° (quantity and quality of) protein, and energy (both, but especially the former, are necessary to increase the levels and activity of somatomedin or insulin-like growth factors, which mediate growth hormone's growth-promoting actions) [4][5], but note that the energy intake should come from saturated fats and carbohydrates because polyunsaturated fats are growth-retarding [6], and the lack of carbohydrate induces hepatic growth hormone resistance [7]; B - making him: ° sleep [8][9]; ° be in a recumbent state (90% or more % of growth occurs during lying down or in a sleeping position (this means that, for the growing human, being active should be restricted if a couple wants their baby to be really tall, hopefully taller than Robert W.)[10], then I bet one can beat him.

MrGodofcars Goddamn boy!! You came back with a whole ass essay. Just because he is in the genius world record book and all the other tall people, doesn’t mean there is competition, so who in the hell wants to be that tall? Are you STUPID?! And You over here giving a bunch of references on how you get that tall and saying that it’s possible to beat him.
This video makes me sad. 22 candles on his cake i think, so this might be his last birthday? I feel so sorry for people like him, especially if it is very likely that you do not live long :(
Plus he had no idea how long he had to live. No one, even Bob himself, knew he would pass away at 22. He didn't have a terminal condition or anything. It was that damned leg brace he had to wear because of his height that caused his death because of an infection of the sore that the brace caused. Before he had to wear that particular brace, he was actually in pretty good health.
It's so very great that you air videos as this one. The only knowledge I had of Robert was from a 1974 edition of Guinness Records. Was young & thought he was a circus performer on stilts. Thanks for setting the record.straight. He sounded to be a very nice guy...
I'm very glad to help! He was the nicest guy around! :D (if you want to learn more, visit my robert website. It has a lot more to discover about him!: britishchick09.wixsite.com/robertwadlow)
@@GeneralSUPREM0 yes that would draw the attention but the most important thing would be you and him meeting as persons for who you are, height, weight and what not there are not important
When he was a kid, he could lift his dad and take him up the stairs... in a chair! His strength weakened slightly as he got older, but he was still strong.
He was a good boy. He would have made a great soldier fighting to preserve all those small town values worth defending. Fdr and general Marshall had big plans for Robert outside of advertising.

It's interesting informations, and I seen in his face that he was a gentle man.
He was always smiling that man
Even during the depression.
@@raymanthewolf not really
Kryptik Joey we need more people in this world like him not tall but kindness
Not just tall, he also kind to everyone.
Unfortunately he died at 22, he was still a guy
Omg he was so adorable with his little brother 😭😭😭
It's the cutest! :D
I even told my dad about this
It sure is
There's another video I seen on TH-cam with his little brother as an adult saying that Robert was the best big brother anyone could ever hope to have!
You could tell he loved his baby brother.
He seemed like a great dude. Just humble and as complex as a small human would be. We remember him by who he was not how long. RIP ROB WADLOW.

This is so adorable I started tearing up 😢 what a great big brother
Caden Bronson he really was a big brother 😂
Big brother
The biggest brother
He was a “Gentle giant” they called him.”
I love the relationship Robert had with his little brother. You can tell he loved him dearly and it’s sad he wouldn’t know him later on in life. 😢
He was such a good and precious man. Can you imagine how hard life would be like that? Rip, he was the definition of a gentle giant
I'm telling Lincoln on you
Very warm, gentle, happy giant
Indeed he was! :)
He was such a good person and good big brother he will never be forgotten RIP Robert Rodlow

He would have 105 today and We could have got rid of that tumor today.

pretty massive

When he was the tallest size he could ever be he probably was bigger then slender man. WOW he is a good brother though!
How tall is slenderman?
Apparently Slenderman is between 6 and 7 feet tall. Robert would crush Slenderman any day!
Someone should make a mod of Slender but with Robert Wadlow instead
@@Antho9 he changes sizes between 6 to 15 feet
@@Antho9 so he could be bigger than slenderman sometimes
Robert showed how much of a loving person he was to his little brother
R.I.P. Robert Wadlow.
I’m surprised that as he got bigger, the family never tried to remodel the house so he wouldn’t have to keep bending as he walked in rooms.
RIP Giant Angel ❤
♥♥♥
If Robert was born in the year 2000 he would almost be as old as he lived and we would have the material to save him
That's fascinating to think about! :D

True bro
I wish I could have known such a nice guy.
Has anyone ever wondered just how strong he was?
Gee Bee Well judged by his size and his lack of exercise.
Still strong as f#$!
Gee Bee He was weak because he was very poorly
When he was a kid, he could lift his dad and take him up the stairs... in a chair! His strength weakened slightly as he got older, but he was still strong.
@@britishchick09 Proof?
He started becoming weak at 22 years, then died. At 21 years old, he was probably able to lift a small car though
All we had to need is a brother like mr. Robert : )

@@crazygamingyt7245 true I mean if he was in a war he would of died not to mention how tall he was especially while taking cover
Had he not gotten a septic blister who knows how tall he would have gotten. Still growing at 22 :/ seemed a nice lad, given a crappy hand though.
Probably would have been 10ft+
Thicc Shake I cant even imagine a 10ft tall person maybe we will see it one day
If he lived until fifty who knows how tall he would have been
MANNY if he grown fully at 24, he would be 9’2 or 10 feet 4
bloodsling if he would have grown to 30 feet he would be possibly 17ft+
Oh yes he was very gentle and kind
He sure was! ♥♥♥
There’s so much old film clips from his life from the 1930s when movie cameras were only for the rich
The parents tried to give him a family life.There is a photo of him in a boy Scout uniform at 13
Que hermano más amoroso con su hermanito❤❤❤
Indeed he was! (¡De hecho lo era!) :D
Imagine,if you got brother like him
That would be so amazing! :D
Those hands r huge and hes tall as fudge
that hand is nearly twice the size of that kid's head.
The size of Robert's hands when brushing his brothers hair is astounding 0:19!
They're bigger than his head, yet so gentle! :)
I'm still wondering how people can dislike this very wholesome video ._.
