The world’s tallest teenage
girl was spotted walking hands in hands with her boyfriend on a beach in
Brazil, despite a staggering 1ft 4in height difference.
6 ft 8in Elisany da Cruz Silva, 17, had to bend down to even plant a
kiss on her lover Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho, 22, who is 5ft 4in in height.
The youngster, from Salinopolis in Brazil, has a form of gigantism due
to a tumour on her pituitary gland, which regulates growth. Doctors have since
removed the tumour, the Daily Mail reported.
At 6ft 8in-tall, Elisany towers over her smitten partner, who is just
5ft 4in
The aspiring model told Vietnam-based broadcaster BTV that it was
Carvalho’s personality that attracted her towards him, the way he acted with
people and her.
She said that the only thing that affected her was when the couple hang
out together holding hands is the fact that Carvalho seems like her little
brother or son.
Elisany lives in a small house with her sisters and mother Ana Maria
Silva and step-father Luiz Jorge.
