'World's longest legs' Record

Maci’s overall height is 6 ft 10 inches and her legs make up for 60 per cent of her height. According to the reports by guinnessworldrecords.com, Maci said, “I was never bullied for my legs... I was bullied because I was taller than everyone”. She added, “Around sophomore year I just stopped caring what people thought of me and once I just stopped caring I wasn't affected by anything”.

The teenager first realised that she had longer than average legs in the year 2018 when someone asked her if she wanted customised leggings that would perfectly fit her. Maci went after this record title with the aim of letting all tall people embrace their height. She said, “I hope that tall women can see that height is a gift and that you shouldn't be ashamed that you're tall - you should really embrace it”. And now since she has earned the title, she says, “don’t let anyone change your mind, just go for it”.
