Eddie Carmel

Oded Ha-Carmeili, later known as Eddie Carmel, was born on March 16, 1936, and was an Israeli-born American entertainer who suffered from gigantism and acromegaly as a result of a pituitary adenoma. Carmel's extraordinary physical appearance earned him various nicknames, including "The Jewish Giant", "The Happy Giant", and "The World's Biggest Cowboy". According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Carmel stood at an impressive 9 feet (274 cm) tall, although he was also billed at heights of 8 ft 9 in (268 cm) and 9 ft 0.625 inches (276 cm) tall. However, it's possible that his actual height was closer to 7 ft 3 inches tall.
