Timeline
In 2008, his skeleton was measured at 7' 2.4" (219 cm) tall. Previous reports of his height ran as high as 8' 11½" (273 cm) and as low as 7' (213 cm) (according to one edition of Guinness World Records).

Like Charles Chaplin's sidekick, Eric Campbell, Harold Lloyd needed his own giant when casting Why Worry? (1923) in 1922. Lloyd first had his eyes on George Auger (Cardiff Giant) who worked at Ringling Brothers sideshow as a giant. But Auger died before the film started and a search went out for a replacement.

She emigrated to the US via Liverpool during spring of 1887. It is not 100% certain who Aasen's father was, but while working in Eggedal, Norway, Kristi Danielsen met the Swedish Nils Jansson Bokke who reached a prominent 244 cm in height. It had to have been "The clash of the Titans" when the couple met as Aasen's mother had her own merit with the height of 220cm. But the passenger list on board D/S "Rollo" listed Kristi Danielsen as single. Later that year Aasen was born and we can only speculate if his father was the Swede. Some sources lists him as 273 cm tall and with a weight of 251 kilos. Nearly 8 meters of material was needed to make him a suit.
