Love at first height! 2.3-meter tall 'gentle giant' finds love with 1.5-meter tall sweetheart
Online Edition
A 7ft 8in (about 2.3 meters) tall man so embarrassed by his height he hid at home for 'half his life' has found love with a woman three feet smaller than him, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.
Joelison Fernandes da Silva, 28, developed gigantism as a child and his rapidly soaring height forced him to drop out of school due to bullying and then refuse to leave the family house for years, the report said.
But true happiness eventually found the shy Brazilian - who has come to be known as "the gentle giant" - in the form of Evem Medeiros, a 5ft 21-year-old woman he met online, the Daily Mail reported.
"The first time I saw her it was love at first sight," Joelison said. 'I was charmed by her. I wanted to be with her all the time. It didn't matter about her size.'
