Andre The Giant (Official Thread)

[Brian Griffin]

Decent documentary on Sky Atlantic now.

I love it when people become known by the urban myths about them.

Seems a very decent lad.

Was on on other night. Class. Loved a beer or a 100...

Is this the lad who was 8ft 14, had 12 arses and could recite the digits of Pi to 30000 decimal places in Polish, although he couldn't speak any other word of Polish? Or the wrestler?

 

[Slow joe]

Wore size 29 boots

 

[RossTheNinja]

Flipped over a car when someone pissed him off. The offending person was in the car at the time.

 

[DurhamRedStripe]

Don't watch wrestling but did as a kid and this is very much worth a watch.

 

[Cypher]

Seemed like a decent individual - it's a shame that people that size have shortened lives. No irony intended.

He tried to cross when the light went green

Took shits in bath tubs because no toilet could support his 12 arses

Watched it a little while back. Was canny enough, seemed like a decent bloke.

Jake the snake speaks very highly of him on JRE too.

Picture 19 of 22 for anyone interested. It’s worth going through them. The beer can ones always get me

Intriguing character Andre, saw the documentary last year, don't know if it was the same one, seemed like a top notch fella, drank 2 cans more than me in a sitting

 

[JohnKay]

Lovely bloke by all accounts, hated the fame and was depressingly too big for the world we live in.
I watched the Jake the Snake interview a few weeks back and the story of Andre laughing away while farting on Jakes back was quality, seems he had a fart to match his giant frame.

Flipped over a car when someone pissed him off. The offending person was in the car at the time.

I'm fairly sure the story goes that 4 grown blokes we're inside the car he turned over, don't piss off a giant seems a simple thing to grasp tbh.

Princess Bride was class. Or was that someone else?
