re: Height comparison: Robert Wadlow vs Andre the Giant

Andre wasn’t 7’4”, at least by the time that picture was taken.

There’s a somewhat infamous picture of him, Wilt Chamberlain, and Arnold from the filming of Conan The Destroyer and Andre was clearly shorter than Wilt by a few inches.



Andre was a big motherfricker but a combination of his body breaking down by the 80s and wrestling puffery meant he was never that tall, just massive and billed as such.


Edit -

Andre and Wilt appear closer in height than I remember but Andre also appears to be closer to the camera to appear taller than he is.
