In this article you will find photos of weird people – who have all become famous for setting a Guinness World Record. Personally I have always been fascinated by the Guinness Book of Records. It’s a place were not just the elite athletes can get added to the records – but also common folks like you and me. All you need is one bizarre skill and believe it or not… most people have one! It might be a totally useless one like; being able to run very fast on swimming fins- or burp the alphabet backwards. But it’s still a talent that could get you listed in Guinness’s mythical record book and leave your mark on bizarre facts history.
Physical appearance is also a category that can get you in the record book and these photos of weird people will blow your mind. Some of the people listed are born with it- while others chose for an appearance that most people will find bizarre. Here I have created my personal “Top 7 – Photos of weird people with a Guinness World Record”. Enjoy.
1. World’s Hairiest teenager… is a girl!

| This girl is the hairiest teenager on the planet and proud of it! |
Now a celebrity, she’s starting to enjoy her fame, and was thrilled by the chance to visit a foreign country. “It’s really fun and exciting,” she said, “and it’s my first time on a plane. I’ve never been outside Thailand.” But her most exciting experience was the moment she was crowned Hairiest Child. “Being hairy makes me special,” she said, adding: “This the happiest day of my life!”.
Ram Singh Chauhan of India is the proud owner of the world’s longest mustache, officially recorded by Guinness World Records as 4.29m (14ft) long. Chauhan spends an hour every day cleaning and combing his mustache. “I massage it and oil it regularly and I wash it every 10 days which takes a long time,” he says. “My wife helps me.” His wife wasn't always this supporting though. Chauhan’s wife Asha says they used to fight over his mustache in the early years. “He used to take a long time to get ready, to wash and also people used to stare at him,” she says. She didn't feel comfortable. But later, as he started getting recognition for his long mustache, she started to like it and to respect his commitment. Now, she says, the mustache is like a part of the family and she shares his pride in it.
3. World’s Largest Honker
Mehmet Ozyurek is the proud title holder for the world’s biggest nose . His giant Schnozola measures an incredible 3.46 inches. That means a fart in a elevator could be downright lethal for this guy! Apparently his record has been broken by Faizan Agha- who won by a nose (pun intended) during an epic standoff in a still unknown location. However his schnauzer was never officially measured by Guinness- making Mehmet still the current title holder.
4. Longest Hair in the World
Tran Van Hay was the man with the longest hair in the world. At a young age he cut his hair once- but got really sick right after. Being the superstitious man that he is- he just decided to never cut it again. For over 50 years he let it grow and some say he didn’t wash his hair for over a decade! Hay, whose hair weighed several pounds, died in February 2010 at the age of 79.
His Leviathan shaped dreads were measured at 6.8 meters at that time.
Now the world’s longest hair record belongs to a woman named Xie Qiuping from China. She has been growing her hair since 1973 and is now at 5.62 m. She still has a long way to go if she wants to catch up with this guy- but all the best to her!
5. Eye-Popping Record

Her eyeballs popped out much further than usual and ever since she could pop them out at will. However they can also pop out unwanted, especially when she yawns!

6.The World’s Smallest Person!
Meet Jyoti Amage, a 18 year old Indian student who stands just 24.7 inches tall, making this bundle of joy stand at around the same height as a Coca Cola bottle! Amge was formally crowned the world’s shortest teenager, and stands about three inches shorter than Bridgette Jordan, the American woman who held the shortest woman title before her. Amge, who has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, is not expected to grow any more. Of course her size makes certain things harder for her, but she truly is a bundle of joy and perfectly happy with her size. Amge has dreamed of becoming a Bollywood star and plans to pursue a college degree.
“I feel grateful to be this size,” she said. “After all, if I weren't small and had not achieved these world records I might never have been able to visit Japan and Europe, and many other wonderful countries.”

| Remember- they didn't have Photoshop in the late 30′s! |
Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) was the tallest person in history for whom there is recorded evidence. Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) in height and weighed 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone.
He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death. The current tallest person is Sultan Kosen, but with a ‘measingly’ 2.51 m (8 ft 3 in) he would have looked like a dwarf compared to Robert.
