The 16-Pound Baby from 1983: See Him Now

In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, a baby who stunned doctors by weighing over 16 pounds

— one of the largest newborns ever in New Jersey. Despite his enormous size, Kevin was perfectly healthy

and quickly became a media sensation, appearing on shows like Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America.

His remarkable growth continued through childhood — by age 12 he stood 5’7″, and by junior high he was already 6’5″.

Known for his humor, Kevin often joked, “I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask if they play miniature golf.”

Now 6’9″ and 40 years old, Kevin has embraced life in the spotlight. “There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask how tall I am,” he says.

A former soldier, he now lives with his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane, continuing to handle attention with grace and wit.

From record-breaking newborn to towering adult, Kevin Clark’s story is one of humor, resilience,

and confidence — a reminder that standing out isn’t always a challenge; sometimes, it’s a gift.
