Fun fact: The world’s longest legs stretch almost a metre and a half
Maci Currin, a 17-year-old from Cedar Park, Texas, was confirmed by Guinness World Records in 2020 as having the world’s longest legs (female) and the longest legs of a teenager.
Currin’s legs stretch almost a metre and a half in length — her left leg measures 135.267 cm (53.255 in.), while her right leg measures 134.3 cm (52.874 in.).
Standing at 6 ft. 10 in. tall, Guinness estimates that Currin’s legs actually make up 60 per cent of her total height.
“I hope that tall women can see that height is a gift and that you shouldn’t be ashamed that you’re tall – you should really embrace it,” said Currin.
