Elisany da Cruz Silva

Sometimes, numbers just aren’t enough. When it comes to measuring, there’s no denying that we have an even better grasp of things once we put them into perspective. That’s why some documented photos or videos have some object, like a banana or even a pencil, for scale.

Now with that out of the way, let’s talk a bit about Elisany da Cruz Silva. Born in Salinopolis, Brazil, da Cruz Silva was born with gigantism, resulting in her 6-foot-eight physique. Often taking credit for being one of the tallest people in the world, it’s no surprise she has difficulty doing some things, like going to school – she was too tall to fit into the school bus. Plus, she tends to hit her home’s ceiling now and then. Even so, that doesn’t keep her from being happy. With that said, here’s a photo of her with her four-foot-four boyfriend.
