In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, a massive baby weighing over 16 pounds—the largest ever born at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly in all of New Jersey. Despite his size, Kevin was healthy and quickly became a celebrity, appearing on “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America.”

Kevin’s height continued to make headlines as he grew, reaching 5’7″ by age 12 and 6’5″ by junior high. He joked, “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.”

Now 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. A former soldier, Kevin now lives with his 6-foot-tall wife and Great Dane. Despite the challenges of being in the spotlight, Kevin is thriving. We wish him all the best as he continues to make his mark on the world.
