Teen sets Guinness World Record with longest legs
19 year-old Maci Currin has made Guinness World Record as female teenager with the longest legs on earth.
Currin said she is “idolised” online and that she has received loads of advances from the opposite sex.
The 6ft 10 teenager who has almost two million followers on TikTok, also revealed how she suffers abuse on social media.
While speaking to the press, she said, “Since [my video went viral], my family encouraged me to make posts about my height and experiences.
“Through posting, I learned self-love, self-acceptance and I wanted to try to show that being tall isn’t as bad as people make it out to be.
“The world isn’t built for taller people and sometimes it is annoying. I feel like everything is built for one size, ‘the ideal size.
“When people approach me [in public] it’s either to ask me about my height or to get a photo with me.
“I really don’t mind answering their questions, they’re just curious. The only thing I don’t like is when people take photos of me without my permission.
“It’s almost a breach of privacy – and they ain’t even slick about it.
“People idolize me online, sure, but if I go out to dinner no one knows who I am.
“There are a lot of people who like tall girls, dating isn’t difficult I just choose to not date at the moment.”
