Sultan Kosen, born on December 10, 1982, in Alibey, Mardin, Turkey, is recognized as the world's tallest living man, standing at 8ft 2.8in (251cm). His extraordinary height is attributed to two rare conditions, gigantism and acromegaly, caused by a tumor affecting his pituitary gland. Sultan first gained the Guinness World Record in February 2009 and has since faced numerous challenges, including chronic pain and mobility issues. He previously held the record for the largest feet before it was surpassed in 2014. Sultan's personal life has also been marked by significant events, including his marriage to Merve Dibo in 2013, which ended in divorce in 2021 due to language barriers. A new documentary titled *The World’s Tallest Man: The Next Chapter* will air on April 27, 2026, showcasing his journey back to London for medical assessments and a re-measurement for the Guinness World Records. The film promises to delve into both his public persona and private struggles, highlighting his travels to over 500 destinations across 136 countries.
