Vienna: The world's tallest man says he is happy with his height but used to wish he were "normal".
At seven feet, 8.95 inches, Xi Shun, of Mongolia, has held the world record as the globe's tallest living man since January 15, 2005, according to London-based Guinness World Records Ltd.
"Before I wanted to be normal, but now I like it," Xi Shun, a herdsman, said in an interview with The Associated Press on the sidelines of Vienna World Records Day on Sunday.
