Gary Turner is a sideshow performer and holds the current Guinness World Record of stretchiest skin. He has a serious form on Ehlers Danlos syndrome. On October 29, 1999, in Los Angeles, he stretched the skin on his abdomen to a total length of 6.25 inches, earning him the record.[1][2]

When he was born, the midwife only mentioned that he had loose skin. That was the only clue of his condition.
