A 7ft 8in tall man so embarrassed by his height he hid at home for
'half his life' has found love with a woman three feet smaller than him. Joelison Fernandes da Silva, 28, developed
gigantism as a child and his rapidly soaring height forced him to drop out of
school due to bullying and then refuse to leave the family house for years. But true happiness eventually found the shy
Brazilian - who has come to be known as 'the gentle giant' in the form of Evem
Medeiros, a 5ft 21-year-old woman he met online.
‘The first time I saw her it was love at first
sight,' Joelison said. 'I was charmed by her. I wanted to be with her all the
time. It didn't matter about her size.' The former gold miner admits their huge height difference has left
a few people bewildered, especially when it comes to the dynamics of their
love-life. 'I get asked a
lot about this and at first it annoyed me but nowadays it's normal and I am
used to it. I take it in good humour,' explained the real-life Goliath.
