Girl with the longest tongue: Meet a 18-year-old girl who claims
to have the longest tongue in the world, Twin Lake, Michigan, USA. Adrianne
Lewis, from , says her tongue is an unbelievable 10 cm long, giving her
the unique ability to not only lick her nose, chin and elbow but also –
shockingly – her eye.
Her reptile-like appendage has gained global recognition after a photo of it went viral online.
Adrianne said: “I feel as though I may have inherited it but I think
with time and me sticking out my tongue a lot as a kid could have
stretched it. My mum, grandmother and my great grandfather all had very
long tongues. In elementary school I was made fun of a lot – I would
just flick my tongue in bullies’ faces and freak them out.”
Adrianne created her own YouTube channel two years ago to showcase all of her tricks. She said: “People
started viewing after I made my first video, and I already had 250
views the first day. Someone also posted my picture on I-Funny and I had
a friend from Colorado text me and tell me he saw me on the site. The
next week I had a friend from Africa send me a message also, so it’s not
just in my town, it’s people all over the world who have seen me.”
She is currently in talks with Guinness World Records and waiting to see
find out if she has defeated the current record holder Nick Stoeberl,
whose tongue reaches just 9,9cm. Recently Naij.com published an article
about the family duo, a father and a daughter, who hold the Guinness
World Records for the world’s widest male and female tongues.
