**The world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, and the shortest man in the world, He Pingping, meet.
**
He PingPing, the world’s shortest man, has died aged 21. Here, we look back at when he met the world’s tallest man. Sultan Kosen, 8 ft 1 in (246.5 cm), welcomes the shortest man in the world, 2 ft 5.37 in (74.61 cm) He Pingping, to his native Turkey.
World’s smallest man meets woman with world’s longest legs.
Standing at just 2ft 5in high, He Pingping, from China, has been officially named the smallest man in the world.
Svetlana Pankratova, meanwhile, owns the longest legs in the world, which stretch to 132cm.
Mr Pingping barely came up to Ms Pankratova’s knees at a bizarre photoshoot held to mark the launch of the new Guinness Book of World Records.
But the pair seemed rather happy in each other’s company as they posed for photos on Trafalgar Square’s steps in central London.
In January 2007, Mr Pingping was invited to take part on a television programme in Tokyo, and has since become somewhat of an icon.
