16-pound giant baby made headlines in 1983. Now he’s all grown up and still famous for is size

When 24-year-old Patricia Clarke fell pregnant in 1983, she had more than just a feeling that her child was going to be on the large side.

She’d already had one baby, and knew that big babies ran in her family. That said, she could never have expected just how huge the child she was carrying would turn out to be.

Patricia gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, who epically weighed in at more than 16 pounds. At the time, he was not just the biggest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital, but perhaps the largest baby in the state of New Jersey.

He couldn’t fit into a standard sized crib, and his baby clothes were too small for him, but Kevin was – much to the relief of his parents – perfectly healthy.

Naturally, it wasn’t long before his size was noticed. He made headlines across the country, not only inspiring a segment on “Saturday Night Live”, but also getting a mention on “Good Morning America”.

But Kevin wasn’t done stealing the spotlight there. According to the New York Post, by the time he was 12 he stood 5 foot 7. By junior high he was 6 foot 5. From there, he just kept continuing to grow.

“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.

“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”

Today, Tom is 35-years-old. He’s a former military man who lives with is 6-foot tall wife and their Great Dane.

He’s more than learned to live with the fact he’s bigger than virtually everyone else. In fact, he takes it in his massive stride. These days, Tom is 6 feet 9 inches tall.

It can’t be easy to quite literally be born into the limelight, nor to grow up with people pointing at you and asking questions the majority of the time. That said, Kevin seems to be handling it just fine … we wish him all the best moving forward!

Brad Paisley & Kimberly Williams Privately Raise Their 2 Kids in Cozy Log House

Brad Paisley enjoys being a family guy with his actress wife Kimberly Williams and his children while he’s not on the road or in the studio creating new music. In Williamson, the couple resides in their ideal house.

Brad Paisley has always wanted it all: a secure career, kids, a dream home in Williamson, Tennessee, a beautiful wife who was his longtime obsession. It’s reasonable to say that Brad is living the life of his dreams, but it all began with a tiny step and a bag full of dreams.

Born in West Virginia’s Glen Dale, Paisley had a clear idea of his goals in life by the time he was eight years old. Paisley was a huge music enthusiast who amazed his hometown with his skills.

After his first trip to Tennessee, the child was even more certain that music was his calling. Paisley relocated to Tennessee well into maturity, having left behind his early years.

The singer once said that Tennessee was considerably larger and the quantity of talent there may make one realize they were not the finest, therefore he was glad he started in Glen Dale. The “She’s Everything” crooner enrolled at Belmont University, which was close to record labels, to launch his career.

It came to pass that he pursued music in addition to getting a degree. These days, Paisley has moved past his difficult times and is reaping the benefits with his 20-year wife, Kimberly Williams.

Kimberly and Paisley’s RomanceDespite being married for twenty years, Paisley’s romantic history with her dates back to the early 1990s, since he had fallen in love with her before they even met.

When Williams’ song “Father Of The Bride” captured Paisley’s attention in 1991, he was still in his early stages of success. After a difficult breakup four years later, he watched “Father of the Bride II” to help him forget his problems.

It was a bright spot of sunshine to see Williams’ face again, and he found her to be witty and kind. In an interview with Good Housekeeping, he revealed:

“She seems like a fantastic girl—smart, humorous, and all those qualities that are so hard to find,” I thought to myself.

After acclimating to life in the spotlight, Paisley won the ACM award for best male vocalist in 2002. He talked about his breakup and his experiences viewing “Father Of The Bride” in his song “Part II.” This suggested that he was still thinking about Williams.

When their paths crossed in the same year, he invited Williams to appear in the music video for his song, “I’m Going To Miss Her.”
