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”.
Start as you mean to go on
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!

“Looks Unreal,” Demi Moore Stuns in a Sheer Dress at 61 and Shocks Fans
Joining in the trend of wearing sheer dresses, Demi Moore turned heads at a recent fashion event. The actress paired the dress with black underwear and looked younger than ever.
Demi’s youthful bold look.
The 61-year-old actress wore a sequin-covered gown with black underwear and minimal makeup. For Dolce & Gabbana’s 40th anniversary party, Demi Moore chose a long, transparent black dress that was adorned with shiny decorations from top to bottom. The dress had a simple shape, full sleeves, and a modest neckline.
Moore looked radiant, with the dress’s sequins shimmering in the light. She wore this over basic black undergarments and added a pair of simple black heels with straps. Choosing to let her dress be the center of attention, Moore didn’t wear any jewelry. Her makeup was light and natural, highlighting her features with soft-pink lipstick and bold mascara.
Her appearance gained praise.
Her beautiful dark hair was the perfect complement to her outfit, worn straight and parted down the middle, falling gracefully to her waist. Fans poured in praise for Demi’s youthful, radiant look. “You look so amazing, and I love how you haven’t needed around with your face like lots of others,” commented one. “She looks unreal for her age. BRAVO,” added another.
Demi previously denied having surgery.
Demi Moore addressed the speculation about her undergoing plastic surgery. She clarified in an old interview, “I have had something done but it’s not on my face.” She left open the possibility of future procedures by adding, “Maybe one day I’ll go under the knife.” Moore expressed her frustration with the ongoing rumors, stating, “It just irritates me that people are constantly saying how much I’ve spent on plastic surgery.”
Before Moore’s appearance, Katy Perry also embraced the see-through fashion trend. Check out her photos here.
