I think he could be 7'10-7'11 with shoes, but his claimed height of 8'5 is unbelievable.

When are you listing Sultan Kosen, Rob?

Stadnyk wore chunky shoe as shaq. 7-8 at best Shaun says on 20/Oct/11
Not a celebrity. A Ukrainian recluse who refuses to me measured. We could have a page on Neil Fingleton, Britain's tallest man instead. I'd delete this page if I were you. george555 says on 5/Oct/11
he's definitely tall, but not even close to 8 feet. I would say 7'6 or 7'7, and I'm not buying anything over 7'10. Kian says on 14/Aug/11
He's not 8'5.5 or 8'4 hes a hoax if he was really 8'5.5 he claims then why did he refuse to be measured his doors are 6'6 and he doesnt have to bend down too much to get through them hes 7'9 maybe 7'7 hes a fake he tried to cover it up saying that he didnt want to be measured because it's his gift from God and shouldnt be recorded in a book. Ras says on 23/Apr/11
Rob, why don't you have Sultan Kosen here? He's beeen officially measured by guinness at 8ft3, while Stadnyk is a hoax (and certainly is no celebrity).

There is no question that Stadnik is close to 8feet tall, just look at the pic Sasha has mentioned below and look at the tiles next to the pipe which must be 6' each. The ceiling height must be about 8'6". Sasha says on 9/Mar/11

Sasha, there is no way a peasant farm house would have 9' ceiling, that is not over 8'.
Firstly, look at the mentioned photo. Leonid almost reaches the ceiling on it - look at the shadow of his head. So the ceiling is at most 8'6", which is realistic. Secondly, I live in Ukraine, and I saw 9' and even 9'10" ceilings in peasant farm houses here. :) Mathew says on 9/Feb/11
He doesn't look more than 7'7" most of the time, I could buy 7'8" - 7'9" though. Chaz says on 8/Feb/11

Look at Leonid's photo, where he is measured:

The woman is likely 170cm. She stands on the stool (50cm), in slippers (+2cm) and on the tip-toes (+6cm). And Leonid stands taller almost by a head (25cm, because his head is bigger than standard). We get 253cm. Though, in shoes. :) So he is a solid 250cm barefoot. Sasha says on 3/Jan/11
To Bane and Dicksock:
Pay attention, that Leonid's weight is 200kg. This weight pulls down seriously. For example, I am acquainted with one guy, who is 190cm and 125kg. But when he stands normally, he seems 182cm. So we must add near 10cm (4in) to the height, deduced from Leonid's photos, to get his real height. Except the photos, when Leonid stands perfectly straight to demonstrate his height.
By the way, I am Ukrainian, and I read a lot of articles about Stadnyk. He doesn't like journalists and he doesn't want to talk about his height. However tall he is, he stands over all this crap, which is connected with discussing someone's height. So he wouldn't exaggerrate his height and even talk about it. All these claims are done by different journalists. His own words are: "My height is not my achievement. It is done by God. So I don't want to be famous due to it."
By the way, Rob, where is my comment, which was written on November 2010 and which was replied by Bane??? dicksock says on 30/Nov/10
Based on how he stacked up to the Ukrainian President, I would say about 7'4" at least, but no more than 7'7". His height is more over billed than Andre the Giant's. He is likely about a foot shorter than his 8'5.5" billing. What a joke. He is a scam and a liar because he goes along with the bs. |
