John Thomas Trunley (14 October 1898 – 30 September 1944) was a British music hall and sideshow performer famed for his obesity and known during his lifetime as ''The Fat Boy of Peckham''. As a child he gained weight rapidly and by the age of seven months he weighed . By the age of four he weighed and was taken to be examined by the eminent doctor, Sir Frederick Treves. When he started school at six he had a chest and waist.〔(Trunley Family Web-Site )〕 He achieved national prominence when Lord Northcliffe 〔''Tabloid'' BBC3 18 June 2007 20:00-21:00GMT〕 ran a critical story about London County Council’s decision to extend an existing tramway because Trunley could no longer walk to Reddins School. Shortly after this he began to tour England under the management of entrepreneurs such as Fred Karno.〔Beasley, J.D. ''Who Was Who in Peckham''. London: Chener Books, 1980.〕 Trunley appeared on the music halls informing the audience "I want to be a jockey". After the First World War he negotiated a film contract playing small character parts. He married and had children, before dying of pulmonary TB in 1944. He is buried in Camberwell New Cemetery. ==Notes==
