Neil Fingleton’s Height

Now this is a topic that has been breached many-a-times, after all he was among the 25 tallest men in the world. The star stood high above every single average height there is out there at 7 feet 7 inches.That certainly earned him the title of the tallest man in Britain, the European Union and that of ‘one of the tallest non giants to ever live’.

The sad part about all this is that, the one thing that made him ‘stand out’ could be the thing that actually led to his demise. It was suggested that his heart was a bit strained from pumping blood to both his brain and feet since it was quite the distance.

It is not uncommon for this to happen; here’s another instance where a really tall person had a short lived existence. Zeng Jinlian, from China, was the tallest female in history and she stood at 8 foot 1, unfortunately she died aged 17 in 1982.

There was really no dispute to the fact that he was as tall as his listed height, the guy was taller than a telephone booth, so that goes to say a whole lot. There aren’t many celebrities that can say that they stand as tall as the fallen actor, but here is a short list of people who can. The Argentinian wrestler Jorge González, Sudanese basket ball player Manute Bol and Romanian born basket ball player Gheorghe Muresan all share Neil Fingleton’s height.

Neil Fingleton’s Weight

No one needs to tell you that the star was quite on the heavy side, standing as tall as he did, it would be weird if he wasn’t heavy. When he was born the star weighed almost 7 kilograms at birth, compared to the usual average weight of 4 kilograms, so you can only guess that he was destined to be huge.

Neil weighed 168 kilograms and like we mentioned earlier, that is no surprise at all. There is nothing out there about his diet and exercise routine, but we can assume that the star who was a former sportsman did his best to take care of himself. Too bad nature had to take it’s toll and snatch him away so soon.
