Standing at 6ft 9inches, 17-year-old Elisany da Cruz Silva strolled hand in hand with boyfriend Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho, 22, who has to crane his neck to get a kiss.
Elisany has a form of gigantism due to a tumour on her pituitary gland. She grew faster than her seven siblings from the age of 11 and hit 6ft 9in when she was 14. But her sudden growth caused pain in her limbs and joints.
Surgeons removed the gland two years ago and she shrank by an inch — but she could still not fit on the school bus and had to quit school because of teasing.
The Brazilian aspiring model is happy now that she’s with Francinaldo but not without recounting; “The only thing that really affects us is when we hang out holding hands — it seems like he is my little brother or son.”
