#7 Hồ Văn Trung – 8 ft 5 in (257 cm), Vietnam
Hồ Văn Trung from Vietnam measured 8 ft 5 in while alive and was reported even taller posthumously. Born in the 1980s, he lived until 2019 and became a national curiosity. His gigantism caused significant mobility issues.
Trung worked as a farmer and lived relatively quietly. Doctors noted his condition but could not stop the growth. His story gained international attention in later years as one of Asia’s tallest verified men.
