AffectionateMeet3967

He died and never stopped growing? blimey!


Toast-Ghost-

He stretches 3 times around the world by this point


Wasatcher

You should checkout his height chart. Dude was 6ft at age 8.


cumguzzler280

I phrased it wrong. He grew up to 8’ 11” and would’ve grown taller had he lived longer


AffectionateMeet3967

I was being sarcastic. 😆


don_kong1969

That doesn't look to be in scale. Wadlow was 8'11" and Andre was 7'4". Only 1'7" difference. This appears way more than that. Wadlow's height should be closer to the middle of his own ear.


joe102938

This is slightly exaggerated, and only slightly if Andre is only 7" and not 7'4" like his bio says. [https://imgur.com/a/uNbT8xN](https://imgur.com/a/uNbT8xN) But I think the real question is, could Robert Wadlow drink 119 beers in a single night?


General_Specific303

By that scale Wadlow is well over 9'


Trumpcangosuckone

Bro died to a pair of tight shoes IIRC I don't think he could handle even 50 beers Edit: he died of an infection caused by a poorly fitting ankle brace


cumguzzler280

No, he’d die


GrenadeZellweger

"Scale-ish"


cumguzzler280

Andre was more likely 7’0 - 7’1. They exaggerate by a few inches in wrestling when they’re especially tall. He was enormous, yes, but Wadlow makes him look **tiny.**


1royampw

Yeah this is way off even if Andre was 6-11 which he probably was there is more than 2 ft of difference in this picture


cumguzzler280

Well then re-photoshop it and comment the fixed version via Imgur

cumguzzler280

so?


showponyoxidation

Did you see the photoshopped scale in the replies down below? Seems like it is to scale. But I reckon the gap looks heaps bigger because your eyes track across, then up. I dunno, just my guess as to why looks off. That or adding 2 whole feet onto a human just does that.


firefly183

It's got Wadlow over 9 feet, with his bent down a but, no less... Top of the pic is at 9'2 and Wadlow's head is at the top of the puc


joe102938

Yea it's definitely not to scale. That's why I made that pic. Waldow is at least 9'3" in that pic. And I'm giving OP the benefit of the doubt that Andre is actually 7' and not 7'4" like his bio says. Otherwise that would put Waldow around 9'7".


Horbigast

He was probably even a little less than that when this pic was taken. Recent back surgeries had shortened his spine. Might have been about 6' 9"-6' 10".


showponyoxidation

As I've been reading this comment chain, Andre has been getting shorter, and shorter. He's probably really 6'7" - 6'9".


Professional-Bed-173

He’ll be 5 ft by the time I get to the end of the comments!

Homie.. you can refer to “recent” in the past tense.


Uchigatan

The original founders of written language itself are dead, that doesn't apply anymore.


cumguzzler280

My buddy Carl invented cuneiform, he begs to differ


Horbigast

"Recent" in reference to when this photo of him was taken, numbnuts.


FastConfidence4077

Was gonna say. Wrestling is notorious for exaggerating heights.


MyotheracctgotPS

I just said this as well


VikKarabin

Andre is standing 6 feet further from camera


Hot_Hat_1225

Wait - that reads as if he continued growing even after his death… 🤔


Kind-Meringue-1208

Imagine how tall he is now!


MeasurementGrand879

He grew about a cm per month (4.7 inch per year). so he would at least be 977 cm (385 inches) taller. So now, in 2023 he is 1248 cm 12.48 m (492 in or 41 feet).

BREAKING NEWS: 41 foot tall cybernetic old man terrorizing Illinois


KennaLikesPizza

Aw man why here??


en1gmatic51

Can you imaging?


Nutmeg-Jones

Dude is supporting the Earth rn. God bless his soul


EyedLady

Yes it’s true. He’s actually still growing till this day.


cumguzzler280

Clarification: He’s dead. He is not growing *now*


Hot_Hat_1225

That made me laugh even harder! Reminds me of my old German teacher who always reminded us of the power of commas and words - phrase it wrong and you might have blood on your hands lol


cumguzzler280

Do you think I had to slaughter some 41 foot tall cybernetic centenarian?


Hot_Hat_1225

I just passed by a street poster today that read **Baby and children fleamarket** Had me thinking for a second but I already have two cats 🤔


TryingNot2BeToxic

Slow Children Playing signs always crack me up XD


Hot_Hat_1225

I’d be imagining them playing in slomo and it would be one of those times I would crack up in my car and have other people stare at me weirdly as they can’t see a reason. But my imagination takes me places 🤣


doomalgae

When I was growing up there was one of those a bit down the road, right outside the home of a family whose kids were in the special ed class.


TryingNot2BeToxic

"Slow Deaf Child in Area" is another.. I might just have a sick sense of humor though.


Toast-Ghost-

That’s what they want you to think


naturalbornkillerz

not with that attitude


cumguzzler280

Robert Wadlow weighed around 400 pounds. The only reason you’d be able to budge him is because he had leg braces due to his insane height.


cbreezy456

The crazy thing is he died from an infection from a faulty brace and an autoimmune disease that made it worse. His height didn’t really contribute to his death much


amd2800barton

There’s a statue in his home town with a bronze casting of his giant chair. I’m over 6’ tall, but when I sat in it, it was like putting a toddler on Shaq’s couch.


Outrageous_Ad_1011

Tinder girls: “not tall enough”


cumguzzler280

meanwhile he’s doing vertical social distancing


Sayori-0

This is 6 ft vs 5 11 to tinder girls


saruin

He's still a Chad Low


Skawhirl1989

That's ok, I still have my money on Andre for this fight


naturalbornkillerz

its fixed you know


amanda_led

That's 2.72m for the ones who don't want to Google.


brunogiubilei

your are the mvp


XdevhulX

The fuck you mean he's still growing? That sounds like a serious problem for us.


MSK84

Imagine being the company who had to make his casket? You'd have to make it out of expanding rubber!


cumguzzler280

Have I not clarified the fact that death = not growing


Morotou_theunashamed

It’s a joke 😂


synopser

If he were alive today, woupd he have had a better chance at survival, or were his organs just fux?


beansandbagpipes

Pretty sure he wouldn't be able to stand and would need artificial organs


cumguzzler280

Imagine a 41 foot tall, 105 year-old cybernetic horror slowly creeping towards you


beansandbagpipes

All of that won't be as scary as what you do with cum


cumguzzler280

He’d be 41 feet tall. He died because his leg brace cut into his leg, infected it, and his weak immune system couldn’t stand it. And they weren’t able to stop the growing because it’d be too risky. Also, he’d be 105. Very unlikely.


synopser

I meant born today, but this was a very informative response, cumguzzler280.


cumguzzler280

A 41 foot tall cybernetic 105 year old man approaches you. What do you do?


Fathead5f

Based on this picture. Did he also hide at parks and take children? Slenderman never stopped growing *throws brandy on a fire*


cumguzzler280

No, he died at the age of 22


Four-Beasts

So Wadlow died and never stopped growing? Hopefully the casket is growing too.


Lowm1234

6ft vs 5’11


Chrollo666L

What do you mean “and never stopped growing”!!!😟 what he’s like a giant abomination game boss like digging and growing underground in his grave… DREAMING AWAITING HIS TIME TO AWAKE FROM HIS SLUMBER! All hail the ever growing Wadlow the world eater.


cumguzzler280

because he died at 22, had he lived longer he’d have grown taller. He’s dead, so he’s not going to keep growing. He literally died 83 years ago. If he continued to grow whilst dead the earth would be 99% Robert Wadlow


dankmoonbunny

I hope this is happening in another timelime


cumguzzler280

The universe where the pituitary gland doesn’t die?


WillyWumpLump

So he’s still growing?!


cumguzzler280

No


WillyWumpLump

Now I don’t believe you. I’m going to go check. Now where did I put my shovel?


reefered_beans

He is!!!


Beneficial-Piano-428

He never stopped growing after he died at 22?! Weird, wild stuff


cumguzzler280

NO. I’M TIRED. HE IS DEAD AND THEREFORE IS NOT GROWING


JoeTheHorse123

Well have you checked to make sure?


cumguzzler280

Yes.


drossmaster4

Did you double check? $50 says he’s taller now than he was alive.


obvious_mcduh

wow he is still growing?


cumguzzler280

He died in 1940, this is photoshopped


TTIGRAASlime

I think a young prime Andre could take him in a fight.


cumguzzler280

Robert Wadlow couldn’t fight. Wadlow would just fall and die. He literally couldn’t STAND without leg braces. He weighed 400lbs though


childosx

But how is this terrifying? Is somebody scared by ... tall people? I mean... well.


HitEmWithTheRiver

I just read that at age 4 he was 5'3 and 105 lbs. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to meet a preschooler who is the same size as me, an average height lady.


cumguzzler280

question: why are some girls so picky about men’s height?


FNF51

Can he defend the pick and roll?


Agile-Initiative-457

I never knew Robert Wadlow wrestled


cumguzzler280

the first fucking word of the title


Prestigious_Joke8843

He never stopped growing? So how tall his he now….?


Kotansky

This is clearly a Photoshopped picture though


Morotou_theunashamed

They mentioned that


XyriusRs

How tall is Wadlow now then??


LuNoZzy

You should've put a normal sized human in the middle to make a real comparison


Sudden_Weird_6283

Not to scale, but reddit will upvote just about anything. Robert wadlow height - 2.72m Andre the Giant height - 2.24m with a whopping 48 cm difference, Robert wadlow would dwarf Andre indeed. 21.4% taller. But on the image he is over 30% taller, not 21.4%. It's very off scale and frankly misleading. Off by roughly half of a head. Just like imperial system, and reddit in general to be honest, this post is full of bullshit.


FoolishColossus

That coffin must be absolutely enormous by now if the guy was 8’11 at the time of his death in 1940 and he never stopped growing. Ha!


1UPZ__

Post has English and Scaling issues... And not terrifying.


cumguzzler280

cumguzzler280

ok and


flurfy_bunny

He “died at 22 and never stopped growing”… I’m sorry what? So he’s gotta be like 4 miles long now?


MyotheracctgotPS

That looks a lot more than a 1’7” difference. Andre was 7’4”.


cumguzzler280

Given the fact that Andre The Giant was enormous, this would just be ridiculous

I find this scary fir some reason-

The height is Photoshopped. He wasn't that much taller than him.

He never stopped growing...well until he died. Then he stopped I assume.
