In 1983, a baby weighing 7.2 kg was born. How does he live 39 years later?

Kevin Robert Clark’s entry into the world in 1983 became a nationwide sensation as he tipped the scales at a remarkable 7.2 kilograms, being the heaviest newborn to date.

Patricia Clark, his mother, knew from the start that Kevin was going to be a larger baby than average, as his siblings had set a precedent. Nonetheless, his size at birth was beyond anyone’s expectations.

At home, the realities of accommodating Kevin’s extraordinary size quickly became apparent. Standard-sized baby gear was simply inadequate, and clothing him was a constant challenge.

By the age of 12, Kevin had reached a height of over 152 centimeters. “Securing clothes and shoes that fit was a relentless pursuit, with my height shooting up almost overnight. Keeping up with my wardrobe requirements was a formidable task,” he reflects.

Due to his towering stature, Kevin frequently encountered suggestions to engage in sports, particularly basketball, but his interests lay elsewhere. He found solace and enjoyment in the tranquil pursuits of fishing and hunting.

Kevin’s journey led him to serve in the US Air Force and then transition to a role as a state police officer. Now a 39-year-old man, he stands over 2 meters tall and weighs 136 kilograms. Kevin admits his aversion to public attention, having been the subject of repetitive jokes by media outlets since infancy, which have only grown more irksome over time.

Despite the challenges of being in the public eye, Kevin has carved out a fulfilling life. He found love, adopted a dog, and enjoys contentment. When queried about his basketball-playing status, Kevin retorts with good humor, “No, but do you play mini-golf?” he says with a chuckle.
