The tallest and shortest people in the world had breakfast together in California (USA). The difference in their height is more than 1.8 meters.

It was the second meeting between Sultan Kesen from Turkey and Yoti Amge from India. They saw each other for the first time six years ago – at a photo shoot in Egypt, writes the Independent.

41-year-old Sultan Kesen, who holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest man on Earth, is 251 centimeters tall. And 30-year-old Yoti Amge is 62.8 centimeters tall and weighs only 5.4 kilograms.

In one of the images, Amge is only slightly taller than Kesen’s shoe.

The record players came to Los Angeles at the invitation of an unnamed American producer who planned to film their meeting.

When they first met, Kesen and Amge posed next to the Great Sphinx at Giza. The Sphinx is also a Guinness World Record holder – it is officially the largest monolithic sculpture in the world.

Kesen officially became the tallest man in the world in 2009. At that time, he was the first person in the last 20 years whose height exceeded 251 centimeters. He also “broke” the record for the world’s largest hand.

The excessively large size of a man is the result of a disease – pituitary gigantism. This disease causes the bones and parts of the human body to grow much faster than normal.

Until the age of 10, Kesen did not differ from his peers, and then he began to grow rapidly.

Previously, the man told representatives of the Guinness Book of Records about what it is like to be so tall. Among the advantages, he mentioned the opportunity to help his mother change light bulbs or hang curtains. The man considers it a disadvantage that it is impossible to choose clothes or shoes of his size and to fit in a regular-sized car.

30-year-old Amge received the title of the shortest woman in the world in 2011. Her petite stature is the result of a form of dwarfism called “achondroplasia”.

In 2014, she became the shortest actress in the world, playing the role of Ma Petit in “American Horror Story”.
