Maurice Tillet was born in Russia in 1903 to a French family. As a child, Maurice outwardly did not differ from his peers and had very beautiful features. But at the age of 17 everything changed. He developed a rare disease, acromegaly, which causes horribly disproportionate bone growth. Especially on the face. He went to the USA, became a professional wrestler, learned 14 languages and learned to play chess brilliantly. The disease progressed and Maurice died of a heart attack at the age of 51. Later, the famous cartoon character Shrek was created in his image.
