I am a huge boys fan, from India..came here some 4 years ago. Lived in Dallas for the last 4 years. Recently moved to Philly (can't tell you how much people hate us around here).

Anyway, the big guy is Indian..name is Dalip Singh. He was a weight lifter.

This is what IMDB has to say about him

"Dalip Singh

Height
7' 2" (2.18 m)
