Walter Arfeuille is a Belgian stuntman from Vlamertinge who has become famous for doing extraordinary things with his teeth, much the same as his fellow-Belgian John Massis did.
Nicknamed "The Animal" (Het Beest), he lifted a weight of 281.5kg a distance of 17cm off the ground with his teeth in 1990 and broke the Guinness World Record.
On June 9, 1996, he pulled eight railways passenger coaches with a combined weight of 223.8 tonnes a distance of 3.2m along a track, with his teeth. This Guinness World Record was set in Diksmuide, Belgium. The record was broken in 2003 when Rathakrishnan, a Malaysian strongman, pulled coaches weighing 260.8 tonnes a distance of 4.2m.
Unfortunately, Walter Arfeuille was sent to prison for 2 years in October 2002 for dealing in drugs. He used his fitness centre as cover and sold drugs he bought in Rotterdam. He had to pay back the 60,000 euros profit he had made from selling the drugs.
