A GENTLE giant so embarrassed by his height he hid at home for half his life has found love with a woman THREE FEET smaller than him. Joelison Fernandes da Silva, 28, developed gigantism as a child and has since grown to a massive 7ft 8in. The shy Brazilian was forced to drop out of school due to bullying and refused to leave the family house for years. But following successful surgery to remove a benign tumour on his pituitary gland, his condition is now under control. And the reallife Goliath, from Paraiba, Brazil has now cemented his happiness by marrying 5ft Evem Medeiros, 21.
