Who is Maci Currin?
Maci Currin, 21, hails from Austin, Texas. Maci Currin's height is 6ft 10ins and she recently went viral on TikTok after sharing clips of herself showing off her extraordinary height. Maci Currin has held the Guinness World Record for four years. As per Guinness World Record, Maci was 17 when she was confirmed as having the world’s longest legs (female) and the longest legs on a teenager, and was featured in the 2021 GWR book. 6' 10" tall Maci's left leg measures 135.267 cm (53.255 in), while her right leg measures 134.3 cm (52.874 in).
Recently Maci opened up about facing online hate. Maci was quoted by a UK media portal saying, "I get a lot of mixed reactions, but that’s to be expected. [I am also] called horror movie characters, like Slenderman. If someone is going to hate, they hate because they don’t understand."
Maci also shared the problems she faced due to her height. She was quoted saying, "I’ve always been taller than everyone since pre-school. I’ve always been a head above everyone. I was in second grade and while playing outside someone asked me if I was a middle schooler because of how tall I was. At the time I hated my height because it was the one thing kids could target me for."
Apart from this, Maci also struggles to find the right clothes that fit her - and has to wear custom-made jeans which are often way too costly.
