The world’s tallest woman and the world’s shortest woman have met for afternoon tea in London to celebrate Guinness World Records Day.

Rumeysa Gelgi, who is 215.16 centimeters (7 feet 0.7 inches) tall, and Jyoti Amge, who measures just 62.8 centimeters (2 feet 0.7 inches), met at the Savoy Hotel, according to a statement from Guinness World Records (GWR) on Wednesday.

The height difference between the two women may be a whopping 152.36 centimeters (5 feet), but the pair reportedly got along.

“We have things in common. We both love makeup, self care, jewelry and doing our nails,” Gelgi said in the statement.

“It was hard for us to make eye contact sometimes because of our height difference, but it was great,” she added.

Amge added that she was “so happy” to meet her fellow record holder.

Gelgi, a web designer from Turkey, was confirmed as the tallest woman living in 2021.

Her height is due to an extremely rare condition called Weaver’s syndrome. She was only the 27th person in the world to be diagnosed with the syndrome, according to GWR.

Gelgi, 27, also holds the record for largest hands on a woman at 24.93 centimeters (9.81 inches); the longest back of a living person (female) at 59.90 centimeters (23.58 in); and the longest ears on a person (female) with an average size of 9.58 centimeters (3.77 in).

Gelgi has also appeared in a GWR documentary called “Rumeysa: Walking Tall”, which follows her on a journey across the US and meets other record holders.

Amge, an actress and media personality born in India, has a bone growth disorder called achondroplasia that affects the arms and legs.

The disorder occurs early in the development of the fetus in the womb and affects the cartilage tissue that will become a child’s arms and legs.

Despite her small size, she is a big presence on social media, and has also appeared in the American TV series “American Horror Story: Freak Show” in the role of Ma Petite. This means she is officially the shortest actress ever, GWR said.

Amge has also appeared in the Italian TV series “Lo Show Dei Record” on various occasions.

GWR editor-in-chief Craig Glenday met the pair in London and said the record is about “celebrating differences.”

“By bringing these two amazing, iconic women together, they can share their perspectives on life with each other and with us as well,” Glenday said in the statement.

Both Gelgi and Amge have been named GWR ICONS, a new category introduced for the book’s 2025 edition.
