4.Andre the Giant
Andre the Giant was a French professional wrestler and actor. He stood at a ridiculous 7 foot 4 and weighed in at an amazing 520 pounds! His size was a result of gigantism caused by excess growth hormone, which later resulted in acromegaly. This led to him to being called “The Eighth Wonder of the World.” As a child, he displayed symptoms of his gigantism very early, reaching a height of 6 foot 3 and a weight of 240 pounds at the age of just 12. That’s the size of a fully grown man, and he was not even a teenager yet! In 1987, Andre drew the biggest crowd in WWF history. A record 90,000 fans packed the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit, Michigan to watch Andre wrestle Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania III. For many years he was known as the “Uncrowned Champion,” until he found his place in infamy and held the WWF title for the shortest reign in history. Eventually his size was just too much for his heart, and he died in Paris in his hotel room on Janu ary 27, 1993. There is no way this guy was human, but rather a behemoth!
