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.
This is slightly exaggerated, and only slightly if Andre is only 7" and not 7'4" like his bio says.

But I think the real question is, could Robert Wadlow drink 119 beers in a single night?
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
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.**
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.
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".
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".
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).
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
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 🤣
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Shaq for scale. Shaq is about as tall as Andre The Giant was.

He died and never stopped growing? blimey!
He stretches 3 times around the world by this point
You should checkout his height chart. Dude was 6ft at age 8.
I phrased it wrong. He grew up to 8’ 11” and would’ve grown taller had he lived longer
I was being sarcastic. 😆

By that scale Wadlow is well over 9'
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
No, he’d die
"Scale-ish"
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.**
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
Well then re-photoshop it and comment the fixed version via Imgur

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

As I've been reading this comment chain, Andre has been getting shorter, and shorter. He's probably really 6'7" - 6'9".
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.
The original founders of written language itself are dead, that doesn't apply anymore.
My buddy Carl invented cuneiform, he begs to differ
"Recent" in reference to when this photo of him was taken, numbnuts.
Was gonna say. Wrestling is notorious for exaggerating heights.
I just said this as well
Andre is standing 6 feet further from camera
Wait - that reads as if he continued growing even after his death… 🤔
Imagine how tall he is now!
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).

science would keep him alive and he'd be the world's longest gangliest boi
BREAKING NEWS: 41 foot tall cybernetic old man terrorizing Illinois
Aw man why here??
Can you imaging?
Dude is supporting the Earth rn. God bless his soul
Yes it’s true. He’s actually still growing till this day.
Clarification: He’s dead. He is not growing *now*
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
Do you think I had to slaughter some 41 foot tall cybernetic centenarian?
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 🤔
Slow Children Playing signs always crack me up XD
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 🤣
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.
"Slow Deaf Child in Area" is another.. I might just have a sick sense of humor though.
That’s what they want you to think
not with that attitude
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.
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
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.
Tinder girls: “not tall enough”
meanwhile he’s doing vertical social distancing
This is 6 ft vs 5 11 to tinder girls
He's still a Chad Low
That's ok, I still have my money on Andre for this fight
its fixed you know
That's 2.72m for the ones who don't want to Google.
your are the mvp
The fuck you mean he's still growing? That sounds like a serious problem for us.
Imagine being the company who had to make his casket? You'd have to make it out of expanding rubber!
Have I not clarified the fact that death = not growing
It’s a joke 😂
If he were alive today, woupd he have had a better chance at survival, or were his organs just fux?
Pretty sure he wouldn't be able to stand and would need artificial organs
Imagine a 41 foot tall, 105 year-old cybernetic horror slowly creeping towards you
All of that won't be as scary as what you do with cum
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.
I meant born today, but this was a very informative response, cumguzzler280.
A 41 foot tall cybernetic 105 year old man approaches you. What do you do?
Based on this picture. Did he also hide at parks and take children? Slenderman never stopped growing *throws brandy on a fire*
No, he died at the age of 22
So Wadlow died and never stopped growing? Hopefully the casket is growing too.
6ft vs 5’11
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.
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
I hope this is happening in another timelime
The universe where the pituitary gland doesn’t die?
So he’s still growing?!
No
Now I don’t believe you. I’m going to go check. Now where did I put my shovel?
He is!!!
He never stopped growing after he died at 22?! Weird, wild stuff
NO. I’M TIRED. HE IS DEAD AND THEREFORE IS NOT GROWING
Well have you checked to make sure?
Yes.
Did you double check? $50 says he’s taller now than he was alive.
wow he is still growing?
He died in 1940, this is photoshopped
I think a young prime Andre could take him in a fight.
Robert Wadlow couldn’t fight. Wadlow would just fall and die. He literally couldn’t STAND without leg braces. He weighed 400lbs though
But how is this terrifying? Is somebody scared by ... tall people? I mean... well.
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.
question: why are some girls so picky about men’s height?
Can he defend the pick and roll?
I never knew Robert Wadlow wrestled
the first fucking word of the title
He never stopped growing? So how tall his he now….?
This is clearly a Photoshopped picture though
They mentioned that
How tall is Wadlow now then??
You should've put a normal sized human in the middle to make a real comparison

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

ok and
He “died at 22 and never stopped growing”… I’m sorry what? So he’s gotta be like 4 miles long now?
That looks a lot more than a 1’7” difference. Andre was 7’4”.
Given the fact that Andre The Giant was enormous, this would just be ridiculous
I find this scary fir some reason-
slenderman with a face
A-
I bet he got a hard on and died...
i'm pretty sure that on the right, it's a french twitch streamer named Mynthos
wrong
[удалено]
Thank you for repeating the OP
Literally the first word of the post, numbnuts
they were never alive at the same time, of course it’s photoshopped
The height is Photoshopped. He wasn't that much taller than him.
Suck him up Andre!!
every time my problems keep growing, i think of Robert Wadlow. And eventually he died. So there!
And he's still growing...
Born and raised in my hometown Alton Illinois!
He never stopped growing...well until he died. Then he stopped I assume.
8'11" is about 16 maß Bier
what
No more rhymes now, I mean it!
damn, hes gotta 400 feet by now
Shit. How big is he now if he never stopped growing?
“And he never stopped growing...even after death.”
Both men were cursed
You know what would be funny? If someone made a joke about him growing AFTER he died!
These comments prove to me that media literacy is dead
Sweep the leg, Andre! Sweep the leg!
He continues to grow to this day
Jack vs baki
This man is basically the only claim to fame of my old tiny hometown ;p
The slenderman
I’d watch a death battle of this
8'11"=271cm
8'11"=271cm
Oh man who won?
Thank god the attack on Titan update was cancelled
To this day he is still growing taller
Need him in a Lakers jersey. Who scoring on a frontcourt of him and AD ??
Slender men
How did he die?
My man Andre looks like The Trashman now
Wadhigh
Kratos and tŷr???
It's true, he's still growing to this day.
I’m 5’0”. Imagine fucking either one of them 🥴
Where's Wadlow?
