“No-One on the Plane Would Swap Seats”: Giant Strongmen Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw Shared the Most Uncomfortable Flight of Their Life in 2019

A four-time winner of the World’s Strongest Man Competition, Brian Shaw can be termed as the human Hulk. His close competitor is Eddie Hall, who succeeded Shaw at the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition. When two strongmen meet, something interesting is bound to happen.

During a flight in 2019 when Eddie and Brian met, it was a terrible travelling experience for both. Both strong men, however, found humour in their uncomfortable situations and unforgettable experience. They also realized that sometimes, one can only accept a situation which is difficult to change.

What happened on the flight when Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall were together

The flight was from London to Scotland. During the flight, Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall were made to sit together by the onboard staff. The seats and the armrest were small, and their bodies were big. It was not a good idea to make these two men, weighing more than 100 kg, sit together.

Since their body was muscular, they couldn’t move or sit comfortably as their huge arms were too close for comfort. Their problem might have been solved if someone chose to exchange seats with one of them, but unfortunately, this did not happen. Brian and Shaw had to learn the hard truth, being big is not always advantageous.

Both, Brian and Eddie were sporting enough to find humour in their tragic situation. In an Instagram post, Eddie Hall posted their picture together. Asking if anyone would exchange seats with them, Hall humorously said he wouldn’t swap if it were him.

Though their travelling experience was bad, the two strongmen share a good camaraderie. They have posted videos of their training together, gaining lots of love from fans.

What are the two strongmen doing now?

Brian Shaw is currently working on his YouTube channel, Shawstrength, where he posts videos frequently.
