Olivier Richters

Olivier Richters is a Dutch professional bodybuilder and actor, born in Hilversum in 1989 and known as The Dutch Giant. He stands 2.18 metres tall and, having grown very tall while underweight and having needed childhood surgery for pectus excavatum, began training in 2007 and committed to bodybuilding from 2013. In 2021 he took the world record for the tallest professional bodybuilder, and he followed a diet of up to 7000 calories a day spread over seven meals. From 2018 he turned more deliberately to acting, inspired by Richard Kiel, the actor of equal height who played Jaws in two James Bond films, and has appeared in Black Widow, The King's Man, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Reacher.
