Sultan Kosen from Türkiye, the world's tallest man, met Jyoti Amge from India, who is currently the world's shortest woman, in Irvine, California on Monday.

Kosen stands at a height of 2.51 meters (8 feet 3 inches), while Amge is 62.8 centimeters (a little over two feet) tall.

The two took a souvenir photo after breakfast.
