A woman who stands 6ft 10in tall and holds the world record for having the longest legs says cruel trolls often compare her to horror character Slenderman – but she loves being unique
Maci Currin has held the record for four years, with her statuesque legs measuring 53.3 and 52.8 inches respectively – making them the longest on any female in the world. The 21-year-old, who stands tall at 6ft 10ins, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing clips of herself demonstrating her incredible height.
A TOWERING teenager from Texas is about to strut her way into the record books as the proud owner of the world’s longest legs. Aged only 16, Maci Currin, from Austin, Texas, has legs measuring an incredible 53 inches – smashing the previous record of 52.2 inches held by Ekaterina Lisina, of Russia.
The 6ft 9in aspiring model was only 19 inches when born, but a series of growth spurts meant she rocketed to 5ft 7in by the time she was nine years old. Maci also has an inseam of 43 inches and has to stoop to avoid banging her head when walking through doors, but says she is proud of her lengthy limbs despite the added attention they bring.
“I get a lot of mixed reactions, but that’s to be expected,” Maci, from Austin, Texas, US, said:

“If someone is going to hate, they hate because they don’t understand. [I am also] called horror movie characters, like Slenderman. I’ve always been taller than everyone since pre-school. I’ve always been a head above everyone.”
“There was this one instance where I was playing on the playground – I think I was in second grade – and someone asked me if I was a middle schooler because of how tall I was.”

“At the time I hated my height because it was the one thing kids could target me for. [But] the best perk would have to be that no one is like me. I am unique. People will often be like ‘you are so beautiful, do you model? As a 6’10 female, my job is to empower other tall women,” Currin confidently explained.
But there are downsides to her height, too. Maci said: “Having to duck under every doorway makes me want to grab a hammer and smash them all down!” The young woman also struggles with dating, sharing a video of her recounting how men say they don’t like kissing her in public because of the height difference.
She added: “I currently have no interest in dating, but all the times I’ve dated – especially with men that are shorter than me by a significant amount – has just felt off. “Like they were almost embarrassed of me.”
While she doesn’t love the comparisons to Slenderman, she still loves who she is (
