Tall man standing at 6ft 7ins is tired of being told by strangers to 'mind his head'

An extremely tall man has shed a light on what life is like at 6ft 7in - and he says gawpers make him feel like a "freak show". Stephen Brown, now 43, reached his current height aged just 17 - meaning he has experienced decades of comments.

He says he can't leave the house without strangers asking 'how the weather is up there' or telling him to 'mind his head'. The dad-of-three struggles to buy clothes off the rack and is hemmed in on plane seats - or is forced to pay for extra leg room.

Stephen, from Basildon, Essex, admits that being super tall isn't great - and if there was an operation to make himself shorter, he would have it.
