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.
Robert Pershing Wadlow was born in Alton on February 22, 1918, a normal-size baby, but soon his perky pituitary gland triggered abnormal growth. At the age of 13, already seven-foot-four, he was proclaimed the world's biggest Boy Scout. And he kept getting bigger.... he eventually topped out at 8 feet 11.1 inches.
