Wadlow with his mother and brother. Image: ullstein bild/Getty Images. On Feb. 22, 1918, a perfectly normal 8.7-pound boy was born to Harold and Addie Wadlow of Alton, Illinois. By his first birthday, Robert Wadlow weighed 45 pounds and stood 3 feet, 3.5 inches. He kept growing, towering over his father at age eight. At 13 years old and 7 feet, 4 inches, he was the worldâs tallest Boy Scout.
He established his place in the history books when he exceeded eight feet, four inches in 1937, surpassing the record previously held by an Irishman who died in 1877. Robert was very fond of his mother Addie, and there was a quiet manner about him that earned him the title 'Gentle Giant'.
