8' 1" Turk (26) says women are scared of him
The world's new tallest man, measuring eight feet one inch, said he was looking for love as he was presented by Guinness World Records in London yesterday.
Sultan Kosen (26) blotted out the iconic Tower Bridge as he posed for photographs on the banks of the River Thames in his first ever trip outside his native Turkey.
He takes over the title from China's Bao Xishun, who stands 'just' seven feet 8.95 inches tall.
He said he hoped his newfound celebrity status would enable him "to travel and see the world and have a car that accommodates my size.''
