No extra leg room available for the world’s strongest men?

World’s strongest men Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw found themselves sitting next to each other on a flight from London to Scotland and no one would swap seats with them.

Eddie Hall is 6′ 3″ and weighs 186kg. Brian is 6′ 7″ and weighs 191kg.

Hall posted a picture on Instagram writing: “The check-in ladies sat me and Brian Shaw right next to each other on the plane from London to Scotland and no-one on the plane would want to swap seats.

“Would you swap seats with one of us? I wouldn’t either.”
