"Charles was actually born with an unusual height. Handling him alone was a great chore. It was not easy at all. From an early age, many people started making fun of him and I've always had to defend him at all costs," she recalls.

The tall young man had an amazing time at the resort and was presented with some gifts, including beautiful footwear customised just for him.

If Charles' height is truly confirmed, that would make him one of the tallest people on the planet today as he is already taller than Shaquille O'Neal and just one inch shorter than Tacko Fall, the tallest basketball player currently.

Although Sultan Kösen, a Turkish public figure, farmer-herder holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest living male at 251 centimetres (8'3''), Charles' height is still remarkable given that the young might probably grow taller.
