R.I.P.

[DSkehan2004]

the size of his knees!

[DSkehan2004]

why is he in a wheelchair?

[TravisDrago]

@DSkehan2004 when your that size and your legs are that weak it's hard to walk

[DSkehan2004]

@TravisDrago hmm okay.

do you know why his legs were weak?

[TravisDrago]

@DSkehan2004 man all you gotta do is look at them when someone is that tall it's hard for your legs to support that much weight

[foxrider0765]

@DSkehan2004 because he was 8 feet tall

[xHardcoreSniperx]

Woo hoo best and my favorite actor in the world

R.I.P. MATE

[DSkehan2004]

@MarkSacBust you can tell when he's sitting in that chair

[666CorpseRot]

[tacomonster5]

R.I.P.

[TheDylanWood]

God bless you Matthew McGrory. I hope to see you one day in heaven.

[wowhorde12]

i didnt know he was dead wow i know him from The Video for Coma White By Marilyn Manson

[7thSmurf]

couldnt they have given him a custom wheelchair for christs sake.. damn the U.S. health care.. a lil more dignity for ppl that are just diffrent..they have a hard time as it is.. no need to be put in miniature wheelchair..especially not infront of cameras and shit..but hes too great..hes superior to that...

[33fel33]

i wish i could talk like that!!

[Spicypapayas]

Just to reminder to never judge people by their outside appearance (unless youre about to have sex with her) then its ok. RIP giant man

[BadCodex]

He sounds like the guy from delocated. lol

He seemed like an awsome guy :D R.I.P.

[kornmetal12]

RIP Matthew McGrory

[claudiaforcutie]

i just found out that he passed away. rip.

[sahisa94]

:'(

howd he die?

[xshabootiex]

@sahisa94 Natural causes. He was about 7'6'', and people who are that tall usually die at a young age.

[gronolachunks]

wooooo!

[xshabootiex]

He was wicked awesome. He still is. I wish he could have lived longer, but he lived a really kool life, and will be remembered forever. RIP.

[xananadu]

damn nealy 5 yrs rip man

[pedcie]

im sure he would sound soooo cool when he laughs =] r.i.p matt..

[Plibt8]

ah sid haig not droppin character yet, reminds me of robert downey jr in tropic thunder, rip matt i still miss that guy :[

wish i could've met him

[tosykosyhaha]

This man looked like he was growing to 12' but somehow growth stopped at his legs

[usernameclassifeid]

can't belive its been 4 years...

[supersmash43]

Too bad he died at only 32, but extremely tall people like him often don't live very long because of medical issues associated with the nature of their ridiculous height.

[Horrormaniacs1]

Mat was awesome he was bigger than life itself R.I.P. My Friend : (

[MenacingSloth]

I just saw him in big fish, what a legend!

R.I.P mate.

[Patchmagic88]

Rip buddy!

[hellzoneflare]

looks like he has a cigar in his hand when he has the mic

[jellyfish501jest]

his voice sounds like a monster :o

[MoortenJ]

@jellyfish501jest haha, yeah i know..Robert wadlow had a really dark voice too, they said it is because of some kind tumor on the growth hormone. And that makes their voice so amazing dark.

[fuitbag]

@MoortenJ and also makes them so huge

[JakJoProduction]

@jellyfish501jest His voice is epic, dude.



[jmayhse]

@jellyfish501jest that's pretty mean bro

[jellyfish501jest]

@jellyfish501jest sorry,if so..was just what it sounded like to me...not wanting to be mean intentionally,he was a great actor in BIG FISH indeed!

[fuitbag]

@jellyfish501jest He sounds human still.

[jellyfish501jest]

@fuitbag Let people decide themselves how his voice appears to them,for me it didn't sound ordinary,that's all..when it does for you,it's ok..

[fuitbag]

@jellyfish501jest I know it is deep,but he does'nt sound like a monster,thing is i get told i sound like a monster alot,and i hate it,i take it as an insult.I'm a human being not something to be afraid of or disgusted by.

[jellyfish501jest]

@fuitbag ok,sorry,i never wanted to hit a soft spot and i'm not intending to start a dispute here either.. i'm neither disgusted nor afraid of him and i never wanted to insult anyone..

Quoting myself.. "it didn't sound ordinary,that's all.." and being ordinary ain't necessary at all..

Btw,I commented on this one year ago,i wouldn't write it that 'monster' way anymore..

[fuitbag]

@jellyfish501jest I accept your apology.thankyou

[ScottLedouce]

nice voice nigga

[Sirius66613]

this guy was cool rip man

it sucks u had to die

[LuisHarpman]

such a legend, but i cant understand what hes saying :(

RIP anyway

[ahmedzik6000000]

RIP :(

[chriswillsurvive]

im just glad he didnt die of some freak thing, he passed away for a natural cause =)

[ghostinthefog1666]

seems like a cool guy. ive seen corpses and rejects but dont really pay a whole lot of attention to names in the credits. I saw him in mansons music vid and thought wow hes pretty big beside manson so i googled tall guy in coma white video and found him that way didnt know it was the same guy though until yesterday.

[ObsidianioumDark]

What a great person!

What a great voice! (you can kill me, but it so sexy)

And his tattoos... awesome

Matt we love you so much!

We miss you, R.I.P.

[Googopqp]

I just found out he died, that rlly sucks, I remember seein him in alot of movies and he made me cheer, literallly, when he saved the family at the end of Devil's Rejects. RIP Matt

[vvelvettearss]

Yeah! GO TO CHICAGO! :D

I was so sad when I find out today that he's died, it's just so shocking (partly isn't because of his condition but yeah) we all love you Matt R.I.P

(and I also thought it was special effects to increase his height and deepen his voice whenever I saw him on movies and shows, amazing guy :)

[chaines2254]

i wish i could have went to that funeral with you richie (Biffnacid) i kinda felt bad i didn't go

[davidtheguitarman]

OMG

what hands!!!!!!!!

[supersmash43]

yeah i think he could have been at least a decent basketball player--that is if he wasn't confined to a wheelchair. anyways he seems to show that his sheer will power is enough to cover most of the impracticalities of so tall.

[biffnacid]

yea i dont think he could of, matthew was my cousin, he was really tall as you can tell but he had a diesies called gigantisim but tahts spelled wrong, so he was somewhat frail or had not the strongest bones so basketball would be the best thing for him, bun non the less he was a really nice guy and it was a total shock when he died in 2005

Rip matthew mcgrory

[WestChesterMike]

Sorry Cousin, you've been misinformed. First Mat was extremely strong, he just had some bad feet & knees. Secondly, he did NOT have giantism. Ask Maureen, his mother. He was just a tall guy. & a great guy. By the way did you make the funeral? I was a pallbearer & I also gave the toast at the luncheon afterwards in Media.

[biffnacid]

yea chief i was there, who are you any way? jw im rich mcgrory if you know me. i did go to the funeral i drove up tehre with my dad and nan/pop, we didnt make it to the lucheon after though, i haven talked to maureen sicne pop died in december

[WestChesterMike]

Mike Dempsey, I owned 15 North. Matt worked for me for about 7-8 years.

[WestChesterMike]

I also bought the house on Church Street in West Chester from Maureen before she moved to Coatesville then Florida. I still have all of Matt's stuff in storage. Drums, Computer, & boxes & boxes of crap.

[nirvanafrik]

and what is the point of your comments?

[WestChesterMike]

I was a very close friend to Matt & if you read my first post, it's about clarification. Then I was asked qualifying questions. Then the posts got sidetracked.

[marvelmax03191]

Im sorry for your loss. He was truly a great talent in the business and his work is truly missed. :(

[olbaid99]

The baby of the family and his name is Tiny...Now thats just mean.

[cecilia924]

he passed?!

:'(

[citydriver]

dig the voice on that guy damn thats a deep voice

[skooterseven]

Matthew i was really mad how you killed the cop and i cussed you out but if you are listening i wanna let you know i take back every word and that was a good neck snap though im sorry i cussed u im sorry im sorry im sorry i didn't mean it i was enraged but i take it all back im sorry im sorry im sorry

[SimeoneSantoro1988]

I miss you Matt T_T sigh sigh

you where GREAT !!!

Rest in Peace

[amy2008]

wow that was sad...I did't know that he was in the devils rejects...he did a great job in bubble boy though. R.I.P.

[dwayneluva]

aw...matt was so cute...i hope he is resting in peace..

[WillowDontTellAnyone]

I couldn't get through this without crying.

I only found out last year that he died.

I always wanted to meet him, and I was devastated when I found out that he'd passed.

[biffnacid]

yea matthew was and still is my cousin, it was a total shock when we all got the news in august 2005 that he had died, he was a very nice guy, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. even with his looks that made him somewhat of a stand out no one ever talked about him because he had the greatest heart. im sure he would of loved to meet you to

rip matthew mcgrory

[supersmash43]

I just mentioned that could have played basketball if he was stronger. btw did he have an operation for the pituitary tumor or was it some other pathological reason he grew so unusually tall?

[grapefruitm00n]

I was very sad when he passed. Oddly enough, Matthew and I share a last name and we had the same birthday same year. I enjoyed the characters he played and he was a great guest on Howard Stern.

[TainanT]

We miss you.

[giantrobot9000]

I had no idea that he had passed away until today. Really sad. What a voice, and what a well-spoken, kind man he seemed to be.RIP.

[keepXonXrockin]

when i watched big fish i thought they'd altered his voice...

sadly i can't understand him sometimes, his voice is so low and english isn't my first language :/

[supersmash43]

well at least he doesn't look that tall when sitting down...

[keepXonXrockin]

he's got very long legs and a short torso compared to his legs

[supersmash43]

not to offend anyone here but just curious if his height was due to a pituitary disorder or he was just naturally that tall?

[anyjen]

Well, the Wikipedia article says he was never tested for the cause of his height, but it probably was.

Particularly considering how young he died, which is common in the people suffering from pituitary disorders.

[supersmash43]

Did a little research and it was likely he suffered from a special form of gigantism called euncloinloidism (aka daddy long legs)...kinda makes sense since his limbs (especially his legs) were disproportionately long compared to his torso and head. lastly it's such a shame that he passed away so abruptly...

[supersmash43]

yeah he's got some of the longest legs i have ever seen!

[G10bubbz]

I cnt watch any of his movies theyll jus make me cry

[doghowlett18]

RIP Matt. We miss you.

[usernameclassifeid]

RIP

[shemalezeronew]

RIP :(

[DevilGoncalo]

RIP Matthew ... :(

[dfelts2323]

Awesome... R.I.P.

[gotalittlecaptain]

He was in the guinness book of world records for the largest feet of any person not caused by elephantitis, as supersmash43 mentioned. In spite of his physical difficulties it seems like he got a lot out of his life.

I wonder what that tattoo on his right shoulder is of, looks pretty elaborate.

[otokonokorisu]

I enjoy his performance in Big Fish. It's one of my extreme favorite films. I feel he was awesome in his role. I want to check out his other films.

[BARCAkit]

what a voice :)

[didgeman987]

what an inspiring person

RIP Matt

supersmash43 should burn in hell i think

[HERD69]

supersmash43 , how can you say things about someone like that? are you kidding me? The man couldnt help what happened in his life.He made the best of his life, more than I can say for many. He also graduated from LAW SCHOOL! LONG LIVE TINY!!!!

[supersmash43]

he looks very deformed no offense because of his acromelgy. i don't even remember Andre the Giant showed this guy's level of physical deformities. His legs are even in length, his face very freaky (not just ugly but just plain horrendous evenly proportionated), and in conclusion he has some of the most uneven growth I've ever seen! no wonder he died so early. btw, his voice is so freaking unbelievably deep.

[sandyny]

fuck off

[PortaleMedia]

RIP, giant heart.

[imobilizedtrout]

his calves are skinny

[supersmash43]

Very severe case of acromelgy--even more so than Andre the Giant.

[supersmash43]

He looks disproportionately. Oversized joints and feet and hands. Overly long limbs compared to torso. Uneven growth. Clearly a bad case of acromelgy. I feel sad for this guy. Apparently he also has the largest feet of any living person not caused by elephantitis.

[supersmash43]

He has disproportionately long limbs; hence huge feet.

[kingkona86]

man what an awesome voice.

although it's a fucked up world that has people suffer so greatly. RIP

[John966]

subtitles please

[chichild]

What an inspiring actor...only the best of love and great memories.Bye,Matt(tiny)loved him too in the dead hate the living and of course big fish.

[TuoniGuitar]

:[

I was so sad to hear he passed away.

I watched Big Fish just for him.

Rest in peace, Matthew.

<3

[stevedet]

I miss Matt.He was an inspiration for the way he dealt with the seemingly insurmountable odds put in front of him. Those who were fortunate enough to get to know Matt knew what an incredibly smart, sensitive and fun guy he was. Matt had to be big just to hold all that righteousness. RIP MATT!

[meconate]

Rest In Peace McGrory.

We'll always love you!

[TheWarmLittleCentre]

his 7 foot 6 and was the holder of the largest feet for a living man record

[scobyknife2]

when mcgrory stands how tall is he?

[nafip]

2,29m  shoes: european size 63

[scobyknife2]

wow

[book678903]

omg my favorite giant other than marilyn manson

Rip

[soozisamazing14]

aaw matt is great! i remeber an episode of malcom in the middle he was on!

i miss him :[

RIP matt

[Rockyourassed]

Aw his voice is very creepy :) but all of theses giants are the nicer people on earth :) but as soon as it has something different to somebody they insult it:S the human being can really be idiots sometimes . I know about what I speak because i'm very flexible and what the look of others is not always very obvious to support:D but life continue.

[1fungus]

rest matt rest for god great movie also rest in peace matt

[Toilu]

Oh! His voice is kinda scary. R.I.P

[00aBs00]

RIP matthew ...

[randomteen314]

Great guy and all that. . .but seriously, his body looks so distorted. I wonder if he was in pain during the time of his death :(

[phillyforever]

na thank god he was in his sleep like andre the giant

[HerrSalami]

R.I.P. Mat...

[migueluspa]

r.i.p mat.

[cashbeagle]

Marfan's is actually really serious, causes problems with the aorta and to my knowledge is almost always lethal.

[laynes82]

no he had acromegaly, like richard kiel (jaws). marfan´s syndrome is what abe lincoln had (probably), it´s not as serious.

[TheJestonShow]

It is to serious, It can cause your heart to stop anytime.

[undergroundbasement]

damn, if i was walking down an ally late at nite and there was a huge giant like matt and with that deep ass voice coming toward me, i'd shit, even the voice alone would make most piss themselves, he sounds demon possessed

[Spyhunter107]

I'll kick his ass! Why do you think matt is in a wheel chair?

[robbkatherine]

I'm sure being that tall must have created some physical health problems, which is why he was in the wheel chair. that, and it's easier to get through doorways, lol.

rip, dearest matthew!

[SYNxZACKY]

Matthew McGrory you will and are missed deeply. <3

I loved Tiny, I loved every movie he was in...

It saddens me to know he died.

Though, this video just informed me on his death...

[Nekryph]

Funny how you can like a person even from seeing so little of them. That's how it is with Matthew. The world needs more people like him.

[ennui406]

Did he die of complications related to the genetic disorder Marfan's Syndrome?

[gnarlyboy5]

ok wow thats big (holy shit)

[gnarlyboy5]

how tall was that man anyway

[Bob4Jane]

I don't like seeing Matt McGroy in a wheel chair.

It's upsetting.

I wonder how he felt? If a part of him felt relieved to be so low down?

[kioke55]

what happened to him messAge me

[haroldlcooper]

Crazy voice tho, think eed be talkin in a voice changer\ huh?

[haroldlcooper]

Matt was 7 ft 6 in, this was the result of a hormonal condition known as hyperpituitarism, or as most people know it as is gigantism. Autopsy reproted he died of natural causes. Rest in peace buddy, take care of Jay for me.

[saladfingerz17]

such a great person why did he have to die why couldnt paris hilton or hilary clinton he was so gentle and loving

RIP

[juice3335]

why does paris and hhilary deserve to die?

[stunchild]

Never met him, wish I had. He is sadly missed.

[crystaDAawesome]

R.I.P. Matt McGrory.

The gentle giant we all loved.

One of the best people to ever walk the earth.

He will be missed.

[podGmaster]

[OogieBoogie345]

Wow. Thanks for putting this up. It made me sad. Matt was so cool and he was always so nice to all of us, always taking photos with anyone who asked him too. Flashback looks so awesome. I live in California but I'm going to make it out for the next one for SURE!
