A man with the world’s longest tongue 3.8 inches long (9.8cm) long is set to retain his record after it kept growing. Stephen Taylor’s tongue has grown 0.2 inches (0.5cm) since it last made it into the record books in 2009 and is expected to carry on growing. Stephen’s extra-long tongue has brought him worldwide fame and he once shared a 10-second kiss with actress Brigitte Nielsen in front of a live TV audience in Italy. The teaching graduate, from Coventry got to meet Gene Simmons from Kiss, who was left speechless by the size of Stephen’s tongue.

There've been more than enough KISS biographies to satiate even the most die-hard fan. Gene Simmons wrote his memoir, KISS and Make-Up, back in 2002. KISS: Behind the Mask, the band's official biography, came out not long after. Former members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss put out their respective memoirs last year.

The average length of a tongue measured from lips is 0.78 inches (2cm) and Stephen’s extra long one gives him a lisp. ‘If you stick out your tongue and close your mouth most people’s tongues are only a couple of centimetres long,’ said Stephen.

Gene Simmons's Tongue Was Surgically Enhanced. Urban Legend: The Kiss frontman had the tongue of a cow grafted onto his own tongue to extend its length. Kernel of Truth: Simmons' trademark tongue is indeed unusually long—about seven inches, according to one report. In the band's heyday, he had it insured for $1 million.

If Gene Simmons had had even a small part of a cow's tongue grafted onto his own, he must have had his mouth enlarged to make room for it at the same time. (Either that or he just started folding it up to keep it in his mouth.)

He's got a longer than average tongue. He didn't have a cow tongue sewn on or any other nonsense. That story has been around since I was a young man back in the 1980s. There is quite a few celebrities who you may not realize that also have longer than average tongues. You don't know, because they don't make a clown show of it. Written Aug 20, 2015.

If Gene Simmons had had even a small part of a cow's tongue grafted onto his own, he must have had his mouth enlarged to make room for it at the same time. I was oblivious, for the first thirteen years of my life, that I was endowed with a large oral appendage, my superlong tongue.
