There’s three of his “Death Masks.” One of which is on display in York Barbell Museum. It’s pretty neat, actually.
And, a quote from the site I posted, ‘Seeking a new identity to fit his chronic disfigurement, Tillet fled to America where he made a living on his appearance by becoming a professional wrestler, and was dubbed as the “freak ogre of the ring”.’
So I’m sure he doesn’t mind amusing people by the way he looks. I mean, he did make a living off of it.

He seems like a pretty cool guy, I’d chill with him.

A friend of this man’s actually convinced him to have a caste made of his face and head before he died, and this actually WAS the inspiration for the look of Shrek’s character.

You’re right. Shrek’s look was based on this guy (that’s what I heard one day).

Just a rumour. He was really intelligent.

Also, he might not quite look like it, but he had a bodyweight of 276 pounds, which for his height (5′10) puts him well over the recommended weight (which puts extra stress on the heart). All due to his acromegaly.

Which is a known complication from acromegaly as it, over time, causes the heart tissue to swell and weaken.

Yes, Maurice Tillet died from complications related to acromegaly.

Oh. Now I feel guilty for finding his appearance amusing.

The man had acromegaly.
He was sick….
And, like all acromegals, it eventually killed him.

Yeah, it’s funny, right, but it was really intentional. Shrek is based on him, like some people said above. ta da.

I looked it up, and it’s been said Tillet may have inspired Shrek. Which is cool…and kinda insulting in way

Sure…but what on earth is the wrestler doing to that poor woman?!?

By: memememe

Yes, obviously. I’m sure the wrestler had plastic surgery to look like Shrek. Everyone knows he was a big Shrek fan.
