The 16-pound colossal infant who grabbed headlines in 1983? Wait until you catch sight of him now!

Back in 1983, when 24-year-old Patricia Clarke found out she was pregnant, she had a strong intuition that her forthcoming baby would be sizable. With a history of large family births, she wasn’t entirely surprised, but the sheer magnitude of her unborn child was astonishing.

When Kevin Robert Clark entered the world, weighing over 16 pounds, he earned the title of an immense infant. Patricia gave birth to him, setting a record at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly across all of New Jersey at that time.

His parents were relieved to see that Kevin was absolutely healthy, even though he couldn’t fit into a standard-sized cot and his baby clothes were too small.

As one could expect, his stature was immediately apparent. His national fame skyrocketed after he was featured on “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America,” among other shows.

Begin by setting a good example.
Unfortunately, Kevin wasn’t finished taking center stage just yet. He was 5 feet and 7 inches tall when he was 12 years old, according to the New York Post.

Upon entering junior high, he had grown to a height of 6 feet and 5 inches. He continued to develop more after that.

“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.

“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”

Today, Tom’s age is 40. His 6-foot-tall wife and Great Dane make their home with him; he is a former soldier.

Being taller than other people is just something he has gotten used to. Actually, he does it with his enormous stride. Tom recently measured 6 feet 9 inches in height.

Emerging into the limelight right from birth and enduring years of people’s curious gazes and inquiries must pose considerable challenges.

Nevertheless, it seems Kevin is handling it admirably… As he progresses, we wish him all the best!
