A man, who was recorded as having the world’s biggest feet, is teaming up with the world’s smallest woman in order to set a new Guinness record.
The two want to set the record for the world’s largest online foot photo album.
Jyoti Amge and Brahim Takioullah are calling for 50,000 participants to get in front of the camera for one of the largest mass photo participation records ever attempted.
Photos must be sent in before the end of the summer and all participants must be barefoot.
This unlikely couple, one with feet measuring 15 inches, and the other, who is just 24.7 inches tall, will take on the difficult task to manage the event. So far, they only managed to get 232 photographs of feet.
At 8-foot-1, the 31-year-old man is the second tallest person in the world. He was born in Morocco before moving to Paris, where he was treated for acromegaly, a weird pituitary disorder.
Takioullah wears a European size 58 shoe. He needs to custom order his shoes.
"My shoes are always custom-made and are very expensive. Once I asked a shoe maker to make me some shoes and he said it would cost $5,270," he told Guinness.
Jyoti, 19, weighs only 11 pounds. She is shorter than the average 2-year-old, but attended a regular school with other children, despite requiring a small desk and chair.
Jyoti has already appeared in two Bollywood films, and aims to reach new heights in theater.
Craig Glenday, editor of Guinness World Records, said that Jyoti and Takioullah are the perfect ambassadors for this foot event.
"The foot collection will be released in an exciting way at a later date," Guinness said.
