he is not a happy man since he started growing after a brain surgery. He cannot walk well or work and the cloths for him are very expensive:
At age 33, Leonid Stadnik wishes he would stop growing. He’s already 8 feet, 4 inches.
Recent measurements show that Stadnik is already 7 inches taller than Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest living man.
He’s also gaining on the 8-11 Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in history. Yet for Stadnik, the prospect of becoming a record-holder would be little comfort.
“My two-year-old suit’s sleeves and pants are now 30 centimeters (12 inches) shorter than I need,” said Stadnik. “My height is God’s punishment. My life has no sense.” Stadnik’s height keeps him confined to this tiny village 130 miles west of the capital, Kiev.
