The world's tallest
teenage girl walks hands in hands with her boyfriend, the picture of young love
despite a staggering 1ft 6in height difference. Elisany da Cruz Silva, 17,
measures an unbelievable 6ft 8in tall and has to bend down to plant a kiss on
her 5ft 4in lover Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho, 22.
The youngster, from Salinopolis in Brazil, has a
form of gigantism because of a tumour on her pituitary gland, which regulates
growth. Doctors have since removed the tumour.
The aspiring model told Vietnam-based broadcaster
BTV: 'What really attracted me was his personality, the way he acts with people
and the way he acts with me.
'The only thing that really affects us is when we
hang out holding hands - it seems like he is my little brother or son. But I
didn't choose him, God did.'
Construction worker Francinaldo says his friends
ask things about how he hugs her, but he tells them there is a way of doing
everything.
He added: 'She is a beautiful person. She is tall
but she is so pretty, with a beautiful face. I don't mind having a tall
girlfriend. 'I feel free and relaxed as a person and don't care what people
say.'
