Denis Albino is Brazil's second tallest man, standing at a height of 7 feet 5 inches. You might already be thinking: how does he find clothes? How big are his feet? It is easy for him to change light bulbs, pick apples and put the star on top of the Christmas tree, but being so tall has its drawbacks. Take driving a car for an example.
Denis was born in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia. He first learned to drive in 1994 when he was 21 years old. However, although he tried to get a licence many times, he has always been thought to be too big for the vehicle that he used for the tests. With size 15.5 shoes, his feet are believed too big for the pedals as well, according to reports. Four years ago, he bought a car and extended the driver's seat to have 10 centimetres more room so his legs could fit. However, his head was still touching the roof.
Denis said he met with similar problems on flights, telling local media, "I always have to book a seat by the emergency exits where there is space for my legs, otherwise I cannot fly." He said he has been stopped by the police several times while driving a car without a licence and added, "Every time I was pulled over, they listened to my story and helped."
