DULUTH, MN — It may come as a surprise, but the tallest man in the United States is living in Duluth, and he’s aiming to make a reality TV show.

Bob Wegner stands at 7′ 8.5″. With size 24 shoes, he says being this tall isn’t easy. He doesn’t fit well in cars, planes or beds, and has to special order all his clothes.

He’s currently working on creating his own reality TV show called “A Real Life Giant.”, which is about his life and all the questions he faces on a daily basis.

He hopes it spreads a simple message.

“Not all giants have genetic problems. We’re just normal people, so stop treating us like we’re not,” said Wegner, “Being different isn’t a disease. It’s a blessing.”

In case you’re wondering, he did play basketball. He was on one of the teams that played against the Harlem Globetrotters.

The proposed show is still very much in the works, but a trailer did recently drop.
