Ten Stone Baby (1935)

OK so the baby itself isn’t actually a baby – it’s three years old – but it’s still fucking massive and that’s definitely something that is worth talking about. Apparently the kid was called Leslie Bowles and at the time was considered the heaviest baby in the world, even though he was three years old. In the video you get to see him hanging out in some kind of weird playpen where people can watch him from above (I guess that was where you had to keep obese babies in the 30s?!?!) when someone waves in a bar of chocolate, which he immediately starts devouring after climbing on a chair to grab it. Leslie also can’t walk because he’s so fat.
