Texan Teenagers Breaks Two World Records

She first realised that she had longer- than- average legs in 2018 when she couldn’t find a pair of leggings that fitted her and was recommended a custom pair.

Currin’s left leg measures four feet five inches (135.3 cm) and her right leg measures four feet four inches (134.3 cm). Her legs account for 60 per cent of her total height of six feet ten inches (208.28 cm). Cedar Park-based Currin’s family members are all relatively tall but none of them matches her extraordinary height or length of legs. Consequently,  Currin decided to apply  for the Guinness World Record for the world’s longest legs (female).

Maci Currin Wants Tall Women To Embrace Their Height

Maci Currin admitted that her height and long legs come with both challenges and benefits. She said, “I was never bullied for my legs... I was bullied because I was taller than everyone." Currin also recalled how she blocked out her bullies: “Around sophomore year I just stopped caring what people thought of me and once I just stopped caring I wasn't affected by anything." Her long legs also make her an exceptional volleyball player and have helped her secure a spot on her high school’s volleyball team.

Encouraging tall women to embrace their height, Currin 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.” Furthermore, the teenager, who is already a popular figure on TikTok, shared her plans to study in a UK-based college and break the record for being the world’s tallest professional model in the future.
