When Patricia Clarke, 24, ⁣found out she was ⁣going to have a baby in ⁣1983, she had a strong feeling that her⁢ unborn child would be‍ big. She knew about the ​large families in her background since she had already given birth once. ⁤But the size ⁣of the baby she was carrying​ was totally surprising. Patricia welcomed Kevin Robert Clark into the world, who weighed over 16 pounds—an​ enormous baby! He became known as the biggest infant ‍ever born at Community Memorial Hospital and maybe even in all of⁢ New Jersey back then.

Kevin’s⁤ parents were happy to ​learn he was completely healthy, even though he couldn’t⁣ fit into a regular ‍crib and his​ baby clothes were ⁢too small. As you​ might expect, his size stood out right away. His⁤ fame grew after ⁢appearing ‌on shows ​like “Saturday Night⁤ Live” and “Good Morning America,” among others.

Unfortunately for everyone​ else, ⁣Kevin wasn’t done‌ being in ​the spotlight yet. By age 12, he measured 5 feet and 7 inches tall⁢ according to reports ⁢from New York Post.⁣ When he started junior high school, he shot up to⁤ an impressive height of 6 feet ‌and 5 inches! He kept growing after that⁤ too.“There isn’t a⁢ day that goes by when ⁢someone doesn’t ⁣ask me how tall​ I am,” Kevin‌ shared with the⁢ Post.“I like‍ to joke that I’m 5-foot-21! When people wonder if I play basketball, I ask them if they play mini golf.”
