The world's tallest man and shortest woman have been reunited in California.

Sultan Kosen and Jyoti Amge met in California earlier this week

Sultan Kosen, who stands at 8 foot 3 inches tall, met with his fellow Guinness World Record holder Jyoti Amge, who is just over 2 foot tall, earlier this week as the difference in stature was laid bare.

One of Kosen's feet is 14.3 inches and measures more than half of Amge's height.

The pair had previously met up in Cairo back in 2018, when they visited the Pyramids of Giza together.

Kosen, from Turkey, became the world's tallest living man in 2009 but grew normally until he was 10 - when a tumour caused him to develop a medical condition called pituitary gigantism that led to a massive growth spurt.

Indian actress Amge's height is caused by a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia - meaning that she will never grow beyond a certain stature - and she became the world's shortest living female when she turned 18 in 2011.
