Gary Turner is a sideshow performer. He holds the current Guinness World Record for the stretchiest skin, caused by a serious form of 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] He performed in the short film He Took His Skin Off For Me.[3] He was also a member of The Circus of Horrors in 2005.
When he was born, his midwife only mentioned that he had loose skin. That was the only clue of his condition.
