According to the Guinness World Records, there’s more than a six-foot height difference between the two. In 2009, Kosen became the world’s tallest man, measuring 8 feet 3 inches tall. That same year, Amge was awarded the title of the ‘shortest teenager living (female)’ in the world. She was measured to be 2 feet 0.3 inches. As Amge was 15 years old at that time, she was measured again when she turned 18 years old. Amge then measured 2 feet 0.7 inches, there making her the ‘shortest female living’ in the world. The record-keeping organisation further shared that Amge’s small stature is due to a condition of achondroplasia, meaning she will never grow beyond a certain height. On the other hand, Kosen’s tall stature is caused pituitary gigantism. In addition to these records, both Amge and Kosen each hold one more record. Kosen holds the record for having the largest hands on a living person. Each of his hands measures 11.2 inches from the wr to the tip of the middle finger. On the other hand, Amge holds the record for the shortest actress in the world. She played the role of Ma Petite in the TV series American Horror Story.
