Robert Wadlow was born in February 1980, in a town of Alton, Illinois, in the USA. He grew up and went to school there. And people in the town loved him. He grew very quickly. At the age of 6, he was taller than his father. That was a problem at school, so they made a special desk for him. Robert was the oldest of the five children. He has two brothers and two sisters who were a normal height. When Robert left school at the age of 17, he was 2,48 metres tall. He went to the university but it was difficult for him, so he left. Robert became famous in the USA when he appeared in a famous circus. People called him the Alton Giant, the Giant of Illinois. People also call him the gentle giant because he spoke very quietly.
