\n“Stand Tall, Stand Proud. Know that you are unique and magnificent. You do not need the approval of others,” said Jonathan Lockwood Huie. Beau Brown, 29, is a very tall man, 7ft 1inch to be precise, who doesn\u2019t need anyone’s approval but certainly needs the help of a flight attendant. Owing to his towering height, Brown faces challenges in the simplest of things every day of his life. That included a recent short-haul flight to North Carolina from Georgia, where his size again became a point of discussion that could end his trip before it had even begun. Being too tall to fit on a regular seat could mean the end of the trip, but for a change, the problem turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

\nHe had to switch flights to a different plane where the airline bumped him up to first class to apologize for the previous plane being too small. Beau Brown has a massive following of 1.7 million on TikTok, where he regularly posts his daily life as an incredibly tall man, the challenges and benefits too. According to Lad Bible, Beau said: “Travelling is always a huge struggle for me, and flying can be seriously uncomfortable. When I boarded the plane, I’d booked an exit row seat which is usually enough space for me, but on this occasion, I was still too tall to fit. My knees touched the seats in front of me, and I was pinned in, unable to sit down or get up.” <\/p>\n

He continued, “I told the stewardess that I didn’t fit, and she was really lovely about it. The airport staff then told me I’d be switching flights, but they’d be bumping me up to first class<\/a> which was pretty sweet. The flight was only 40 minutes, but it was a very comfortable 40 minutes compared to what would have been plain torture.” He also shared his experience of a painful and uncomfortable flight last year to Los Angeles when an upgrade was not possible. That meant being stuck in a tiny seat, with legs turned out towards the aisle all the time. This also meant being hit by stewardesses and their carts and getting complaints from co-passengers for fidgeting and adjusting on several occasions. <\/p>\n

Who would want to fly like that? Nonetheless, Beau doesn\u2019t get bogged down by such instances. Instead, he loves his height and personality. The cinematographer comes from a family of tall people and wears a shoe size 18. He shared, “I really love sharing my experiences with other people on social media, and now I’ve got the following that I can earn money from posting content which is another big plus. My dream is to have a travel show which shows the complications of being 7ft tall around the world – that would be awesome!”<\/p>\n
