Why: People around me are talking about him for some reason. Andrea doesn't know who he is. (She also doesn't know who George Clinton is, and maybe anyone else who was last in the news more than 5 years ago.)
Answer: 6'7"! Omg!! But it is kind of sad:
In 1994, a routine medical check revealed a tumor in Robbins' pituitary gland. Robbins explains in Personal Power that the tumor was actually an adenoma that had infarcted several years earlier. Due to the pressure of the adenoma on his pituitary gland, he had circulating levels of growth hormone several times higher than what would be normal for an adult his age. This had resulted in a subclinical manifestation of the disease known as acromegaly, which doctors told Robbins was responsible for his remarkable growth spurts as a teenager, as well as his large hands and feet (he is 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) tall). After consulting with multiple physicians, Robbins decided not to have the adenoma removed, as it was not causing any clinical manifestations.

Grinder encouraged Robbins to look into the firewalking experience. In 1983, Robbins added firewalking to his seminars, which enabled him to gain media coverage and launch his celebrity status.
