In 1983, a New Jersey hospital welcomed a baby so big, he made medical history. Kevin Robert Clark weighed an astonishing 16 pounds at birth, instantly becoming a local celebrity. His story spread nationwide, landing him spots on Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America.
But what happened to the giant baby after the cameras stopped rolling? Kevin kept growing—and growing. By his early teens, he was already taller than most adults, eventually reaching 6’9” as a full-grown man. He’s learned to handle the stares and questions with humor, quipping about his height and deflecting basketball inquiries with playful retorts.
Now a military veteran, Kevin lives a fulfilling life with his tall wife and their appropriately sized Great Dane. His journey from record-breaking newborn to gentle giant proves that even the most unusual beginnings can lead to a life filled with love, laughter, and just a little extra legroom.
