Teen with 'longest legs in the world' joins OnlyFans to 'promote body positivity'

The teenager who holds the record for being the woman with the world's longest legs says she joined OnlyFans in an attempt to promote body positivity - and already has racked up two million subscribers.

Maci Currin, 19, stands tall at 6ft 10in and her 4.4ft legs make up for 60% of her overall height.

In fact, her right leg measures up at 134.3cm, while her left leg is 135.36cm - just under 12cm shorter than the actor Danny DeVito, who is 4ft 8in (147cm) tall.

But rather than shying away from the spotlight, Maci has embraced her unusual height - which also sees her take the record for the world's longest teenage legs - and shares messages of body positivity with her followers on TikTok and Instagram.

She told The Sun : "I just want to prove that tall girls like myself can be as conventionally attractive as anyone else. I just want people to accept themselves for who they are and embrace their uniqueness."

One of the Texas teen's videos went viral and racked up more than 36 million views after she initially created the OnlyFans page as a "joke".

Maci added: ""Since [my video went viral], my family encouraged me to make posts about my height and experiences," she said.

"Through posting, I learned self-love, self-acceptance and I wanted to try to show that being tall isn't as bad as people make it out to be."

However, despite her newfound fame, Maci admits that being tall does not come without its challenges and annoyances.

"The world isn't built for taller people and sometimes it is annoying. I feel like everything is built for one size, 'the ideal size,'" she said. "When people approach me [in public] it's either to ask me about my height or to get a photo with me.

"I really don't mind answering their questions, they're just curious. The only thing I don't like is when people take photos of me without my permission.

"It's almost a breach of privacy - and they ain't even slick about it."
