16-Pound Giant Baby Made Headlines In 1983, But Wait Till You See Him Today
In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, a massive baby weighing over 16 pounds. He was the largest infant born at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly all of New Jersey at the time. Despite his unusual size, Kevin was healthy and became an instant celebrity, appearing on “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America.”
Kevin’s height continued to make headlines as he grew to 5’7″ by age 12 and 6’5″ by junior high. He joked about his height, saying, “I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”
Today, at 40, Kevin stands at 6’9″ and has grown accustomed to the attention. “There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” he said. Kevin, a former soldier, now lives with his 6-foot-tall wife and Great Dane. He has learned to navigate the world with his extraordinary stride.
Despite the challenges of being in the spotlight since birth, Kevin appears to be thriving. We wish him all the best as he continues to make his mark on the world.
