Meet a real life giant - 7ft 1in man who is so tall strangers stop him in the street and ask for photos.
Beau Brown, 30, has always been taller than average.
When playing baseball as a child, his parents would have to bring his birth certificate as people would even question his age - thinking he was much older.
His late dad, Duke, reached 6ft 9ins and his mum, Lisa Milecki is 6ft - so they couple weren't surprised when their son grew to more than 7ft.
But being so tall means he has to make adjustments to fit into an average-sized world.
Beau's house has 9ft ceilings, he had to have a custom 9ft long bed made to accommodate his large frame and he drives a Ford F50 Lightening truck.
He struggles with doorways and ceilings in most buildings and his feet hang over the end of conventional beds.
Beau, a full time content creator, from Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: "I always knew I was tall as I was bigger than everyone else.
"I was born 13lbs and the people in the hospital said I was the biggest baby they'd ever seen.
"Once I hit 14-years-old I was 6ft and then in 10 years I grew 10 inches and there were some extreme growing pains.
“Travelling is horrible, but it has lot more pros to it than cons.
“Hotels are horrible, showers and even beds are, but I now have a custom bed at home.
"I would not change being 7ft 1in and I’m super used to it - the only thing that sucks is travelling."
Beau is constantly stopped by strangers in the street - who stare at him, ask to take pictures and make remarks at his height.
This has always happened - even when he was a tall child - but happens more often as an adult.
He always gets asked the same questions - "how tall are you? Do you play basketball? What car do you drive?"
He is often met with laughs, looks and strangers taking pictures as he walks down the street.
Beau's wife, Sara, a recruiter is 6ft 1 ins and they pair recently had their first baby, Delilah, four months old - who is already in the 99th percentile with the length of 26 inches.
Beau adds: “I have learned to duck. I do it very naturally; it’s as easy as breathing.”
There are only 2,800 people worldwide above 7ft tall.
