Maurice Tillet, the rumored inspiration behind Shrek, was a Russian-born French professional wrestler known as The French Angel. He achieved success in the 1940s, becoming a World Heavyweight Champion. Diagnosed with Acromegaly at 19, he faced physical challenges but pursued a career in law, acting, and wrestling. Despite early dating experiences, his attitude toward women changed in the 1940s, believing they were interested in his money. Tillet passed away in 1954 from a heart attack upon hearing about his friend's death.
