Holly Burt, 20, has the longest female legs in the US, measuring 1.25 metres in length

BEING extremely tall can present a variety of issues, but Holly Burt is trying to look on the bright side when it comes to having record-breaking long legs.

HOLLY Burt is inching her way into the record books with what she thinks are the longest legs in the US — measuring a whopping 1.25 metres.

The 20-year-old design student from Florida, USA has emerged to trump current record holder — model Lauren Williams — her legs are 1.24 metres in length.

While she used to get bullied for her height, Holly received a welcome boost when she moved to New York two years ago as men can’t get enough of her statuesque figure.

“Back in middle school I was called daddy long legs, tree or giraffe — but the dating scene has gotten better since I moved to New York,” Holly said.

“I definitely have seen guys come up to me who have a fetish for long legs.

“When people see me in heels their jaws hit the floor.

“I have a rule that I won’t date anyone under 1.9 metres, and fortunately New York is full of tall, hot men.

“If I see someone in a bar who is taller than me I will go straight over and try to chat him up.

“My legs are definitely an asset now. Being older I feel like people appreciate them more.”

Holly was always destined to reach great heights as extreme stature runs in her family.

“I first realised I was really tall when I was in 2nd grade and I was taller than my teacher,” she said.

“My mum is 1.85 metres, my dad is 1.9 metres, and my sister is 1.82 metres tall.

Growing up she used her height to her advantage playing a variety of sports and helping her shorter friends.

“I was always picked first for sports — I played soccer for ten years and basketball for seven or eight — I was included because I was so tall.

“I also used my help my friends get stuff from high places a lot.”

But being tall also proves difficult when Holly uses standard sized cars or shops for clothes.

“It’s very difficult taking planes and getting in cars.

“My ex-boyfriend had a mini cooper and we took that to Florida — it was probably the worst ride of my life.

For now Holly plans to focus on her studies and graduate college but hopes her legs will take her far in the future.

“I love the attention that I get. I’ve been tall all my life and sometimes I was picked on so now it’s like I’m being recognised for something good.

“I’m hoping my legs will generate good opportunities — I’m very open to modelling again.

“I would so be down with doing a little show down with [ex longest legs record holder] Lauren Williams. She seems like a nice girl and I’m interested in meeting someone with long legs just like me.”
