The 10 Real Life Giants You Won’t Believe Actually Exist

Vikas Uppal (India)

Vikas (1986 – 2007) was known as India’s tallest man towering at 2.51 m (8 ft 3 in). Nothing too fancy to tell you about this guy, so let’s move on.

Sajad Gharibi (Iran)

Have you met the Iranian Hulk? How about Persian Hercules? Yes, that’s Sajad Gharibi, who weights 155 kg (341 lb), and can lift up to 175 kg (386 lb). Not the strongest of the bunch, but I wouldn’t tell him that in person.

    Sorry, nothing too fancy ’bout Vikas “Vicky” Uppal? I’ll tell you anything nice. He’s the only cool, sexy-faced, and quite handsome “giant” ever though dark-skinned; although he suffered from acromegalic gigantism. His height wasn’t 8’3″ ’cause it was contested just like The Tribune reported; therefore, the Indian newspaper was fals. Anyway, Vicky was unofficially 8’2″ tall according to Guinness’ official site: thetallestman >vikasuppal. Sadly, 10 years ago a failed brain tumour operation killed him at a very young age. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( I wish surgical complications hadn’t happened. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( I wish Indian government had helped with cost of the surgery and also treatment costs for this kind-hearted guy who came from a poor family. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
