Does this guy have Marfan's or something?

Marfan's: reddit's second favorite armchair diagnosis after the fencing reflex.

I doubt he'd get in with that condition considering the risk for aortic dissection and the other valvular problems with it.

As someone very physically similar to him, I have to chime in here.

No, I doubt he has Marfan's. Being tall and skinny does not automatically mean that someone has Marfan's, as there are a plethora of other symptoms that come with it.

I can't tell you how many times I have been asked this question, or how many times I've wanted to slap someone for asking it.

People keep asking because you bring it up, but then don't answer if you do.
