Shrek may well be a work of fiction, but the common consensus suggests that the pug-eared and pug-ugly hero was based on a real person. A famous wrestler, to be precise, who was once known as the âThe Angel.â.
Shrek is voiced by Mike Myers, although it was planned for him to be voiced by Chris Farley before his death in December 1997, and played by Brian d'Arcy James in the musical. On May 21, 2010, Shrek received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
