Patricia Clarke’s pregnancy in 1983 was not like any other. Nothing could have prepared her for the arrival of Kevin Robert Clark, a baby boy who weighed an incredible 16 pounds and made headlines as the largest infant born at Community Memorial Hospital and probably all of New Jersey, but she had a hunch her unborn child would be enormous.
Kevin’s celebrity expanded along with him. He dazzled viewers with his commanding presence when he appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America.”
He was 5 feet 7 inches tall at age 12 and 6 feet 5 inches tall by junior high. His stature was rising, turning him into a local celebrity.
Kevin’s height became an integral part of who he was, and others would frequently inquire about his height. He got funny about it, joking that he was “5-foot-21” and inquiring as to whether or whether they played miniature golf.
At forty years old, Kevin is an astounding six feet nine inches tall. He resides with his wife, who is six feet tall, and their Great Dane.
Being the center of attention from the beginning may be intimidating, but Kevin has embraced his individuality and takes life very seriously.
His narrative encourages us to value our uniqueness and to embrace our differences. Talk about Kevin’s incredible adventure with your loved ones!
