I meet him once in England in the late 60s when he 1st started wrestling and I can tell you 1st hand TV never did him justice just on how big he was.. Back in them days he wasn't as heavy but still huge.. I watched him doing drop kicks and jumping off the top rope when I was a kid.. He was truly amazing to watch in the ring bk in them days.. I meet him after the show and shook his giant hand with my tiny 10 year old hand and he was a total gentleman to me and my parents.. RIP big guy.. X
One of my favorite stories about him was from “princess buttercup”, Robin Wright. She said that when they were filming the movie it was so cold out there that Andre would put his giant hand over her head to keep her warm. The man really did leave an amazing lasting impression on so many.
I saw Andre at the Denver auditorium I was 12 and he walked past me and he was massive I stood there with my mouth open couldn’t believe my eyes. Then after the match he went to a small 24 hr coffee shop and Andre was in there with two tables moved together and at least 20 plates of food , rip Andre you changed wrestling …
I was a waiter, working at a hotel in Stamford, he used to come over and seat at the bar and play a cards game with the bartender, he will drink 8 bottles of wine, and eat several hamburgers while playing, the burger in his hand look like a Oreo in my hand.
I was fortunate to see Andre the Giant during a house show in early 1990. Andre was walking out of a tunnel like entrance in the arena and the crowd was dead silent because they were in awe of him and once he was clear of the tunnel, an arena employee had to tell him he's clear so he could stand up straight. And when he did, God damn he was huge. Of course you notice how big he is watching him on tv but in person, it's a sight that can't be explained because he was so huge.
Calling bullshit on that in 1990 andre was working for the uwf... And herb Abrams wasn't until 1991 he cam back to wwf so you definitely didn't see him at a house show in 1990... Furthermore you look about 20 years old with neck beard syndrome and probably wasn't alive in 1990...
I just love him ❤️! As a lifelong wrestling fan I marveled at his greatness physically when I was a child, but as an adult, I marveled at the fact that very few people had a bad word to say about him. He seems like such a genuinely sweet gentle giant ❤️....who could break you in half 🤣. Rest in peace Mr. Giant, thank you for the legacy you left behind for the outcasts like me.
I was a huge fan of his when I was a little kid. I even had a t shirt with him on it. It's too bad he had to go so early. He seems like his heart was even bigger than his stature would lead you to believe.
I was told by my mothers great aunt or some shit back in the early 80' s that Andre was my distant cousin, noone ever believed me but it is true. She was almost 100 years old back then .
I grew up watching wrestling (when the NWO and Wolfpac were a thing) … my love of wrestling grew because my dad has always loved it. He’s on hospice now and so many of my memories are of my dad and I watching wrestling. I remember him talking about one wrestler who was a “Giant”. He introduced me to Andre and I’ll be honest and say … he absolutely scared me. I’m an adult now and after watching “Autopsy … The Last Hours Of…” and my heart broke!! I’ve been researching about his life since then and it seems like his heart was as big as he was. I was able to find his last match and goodness …. His life was passing in front of us. Legends Never Die. I hope he knows how loved he still is 💜
Most awesome man to live I met him when I was 5 he picked me up and I gave him a Hugh hug and hoped he live forever and he hugged me back and said I'll try little Man...!
One time years ago he was passing through our small village when he stopped at a local garage to fuel up and use the men's room, while in the bathroom the owner of the garage told one of his mechanics who was a tough guy that there was a man in the bathroom that was going to kick his ass when he came out. So he's over by the door when Andre unfolded himself out of the door of that small bathroom, needless to say Larry didn't feel so tough anymore, all he could say was he's a big fucking man.
I love this man. I've never met him, and I never watched any of his matches. But none the less I love this man. He was a walking wonder of the world. And I'm so glad I heard his story and his voice.
Andre the giant I would only imagine if I ever meet or actually saw in person. And to bad I wasn’t even alive yet and it seems like he was such an amazing man. And as he’s always remembered and never forgotten. From 1946 to 1993. Rip Andre we always missed you man. Hopefully you are reaching through the havens. May God blessed 🙏😇❤️
I worked with a fellow who had the same glandular disorder as Andre and he was about seven feet tall and still growing. I was a welding foreman at the time and acted as a pre-inspector before the QC came to inspect the weld. One day I called Ralph on a couple of flaws and he came unglued. At 5'8" I didn't back down but he still scared the hell out of me. He refused to fix the problems and stormed away. I fixed the flaws and debated whether he should be written up or not. His partner asked me if I could just leave it be and I told him that I would that one time but don't let it happen again. After that whenever I came around Ralph would just walk away to let me do my job. A few weeks later the room next to mine in camp became available and guess who moved in. I wasn't happy about it but I caught him in the hall and told him I hoped things were okay between us. He said yes, things were square and then went on to explain why he was so angry when I called him on his work. It seems he took a monthly injection for his condition and when it was close to when he was to receive his next shot he got very distraught and tended to act out. We went for supper together that evening and talked about things in general. Ralph was actually a pretty nice guy but he admitted he had some trouble in life. Beds didn't fit him nor did chairs. He always had to get special safety gear because normal sizes didn't fit him. (A standard hard hat looked like a bump on top of his head) Coveralls had to be special order. Outside of work people always pointed him out and stared. He had trouble getting a car so he opted out for a full size van and had the seat moved back 6". He told me his sister had the same disorder and it was even worse for her at 6'9". Any date she did manage to get was normally a "one of" because the guy did it on a bet or found it too embarrassing to be seen with her. She was still living and working at home with their parents because being out in public was painful for her. Too many people were nasty and spiteful to her. After that evening I understood far better what it is like to be different and I don't know how I would handle it. While Ralph and I never became friends, we did share a mutual respect for one another. I would do my inspections and Ralph would do his best to make sure everything was as it should be so we did not have problems with one another. If he was having trouble getting equipment or fitting into where the work was, I would make sure he got what he needed or talk to his foreman about putting someplace where the work was better suited to his size. His fitter once told me that if someone was bad mouthing me behind my back, Ralph would straighten them out. Somehow that was ironic. You see, if someone was running Ralph down or laughing at his expense and I heard about it, they got told. If they continued I would threaten to have them written up and fired for harassment of a fellow worker. I never worked with Ralph again. I was told a few years later that he had left the trade because his illness had become so painful he just couldn't do the work. But thanks to Ralph, when I see someone who is out of place due to their looks, I quietly say to myself, "There but for the grace of God go I." It gives me pause to reflect about how fortunate I am to be 5'7" and a tad over weight with a bald head and a big nose. So when you see someone who is out of place due to their looks or size you might want to think about something my late Mother would always say. It went, "I used to cry because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet."
My father has the same disorder, even tho he is not particularly tall because his disease started when he was already adult, he share the same knee and back pain as the taller people. And like your coworker, the week before each injection he is just angry and muddy all the time, but everything come back to normal after each injection. Glad that he lives in a country with universal healthcare because each injection cost half of his salary.
Even though I wasn't born while he was alive his memory has lived on decades after his passing. Every wrestling fan knows who he is and the legend always will be. I've heard nothing but good things about him.
Andre and me used to wrestle all the time. he always won (he was unnaturally strong) but he would lie and say I was the only one who could go one round with him) (I couldn't even last 20 seconds with him)!
I meet this Giant man at a Portland wrestling event when i was a kid in the 70's !! and i will always remember how his voice rumbled thru the arena !! there is nothing wrong with living they way you want
Thank you for doing this video! He was my favorite wrestler! I thought he was a big teddy bear in real life. I could tell even though his personia he was a kind person!
That’s so cool. Such a small world when you put things into perspective. My mom got a chance to meet him during the mid 80s I believe. Her story about it always fascinates me.
That's cool. I really sensed that he loved being there. It would have been amazing to see the original house. I wonder who owns it now... Hopefully he's farming in heaven 💌
I was sitting in a small resto, chilling with some girls of my age , I mean around 12years old, in a small town, when we saw André who was tring to get inside. We was speechless. He order one chicken french fries on dozen hotdogs and to many hugs pepsi. I will always remember this sunny Friday afternoon.. R.I.P André
Real interesting unique individual A.T.G was being so uniquely sized given exemption from military service opened alot of doors and then WWE also fondly remember "The Princess Bride" in childhood gotta love Honda's reliability in these classic ATV'S and dirt bikes great choice thanks for this is an awsome way to keep the memory of Andre the Giant alive .
He would’ve died even earlier, Steroids would’ve ruined his heart even faster. Besides, he would never win anything because he had very poor natural symmetry, balance, and conditioning because of his medical condition. His muscular proportions would’ve been a problem too. Getting massive muscles doesn’t mean great bodybuilder, there’s a hell of a lot more to it than that.
He was no 8th wonder he had a disease that many ppl took advantage of . He suffered greatly because of this disease that now would have been treated. Even when diagnosed he refused treatment because he wasn’t educated enough to understand it He suffered much pain and I feel bad for how his life turned out because other than those 5 mins of fame he had a hell of a difficult life . He was a huge man with a huge heart . May he Rest In Peace 🌹
@@jakenapier6925 don’t be a fool you know exactly what I mean and it wasn’t worth it for him . You obviously know what a figure of speech is ? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤣
I understand that you may be triggered however a lot of what you just said is correct but preposterous. You have to realize the time frame. People took advantage of his size yes but it wasn't until almost a decade after his death fat people started to learn and accept people of his size and stature. To say that he had five minutes of fame is preposterous. He is the most recognizable name besides Hulk Hogan in pop culture everybody who is anybody has heard of Andre the Giant! I can sense a lot of hurt and sadness in your post but please don't try to take away from the name of Andre the Giant because you're hurting inside that's just selfish. I hope you find peace
I was onlyt like 4 years old when he finally retired but I definitely remember him. I was a big wrestling fan then but parents were to poor to bring me to an event. But I watched many of his matches with my uncle Jerry then on TV..
Crazy how the body will fix itself the best it can to survive. Andre was 7’4” +\~ an inch. No matter what others say, his French military record stated his height at 7’4”, lol in metric which was one reason why he could not serve his country this way. At the end of his life, this poor giant had shrunk to around 6’10.5” Between his knees losing cartilage from surgery, his hips widening, his many herniated disc’s in his back, his neck cartilage going and his painful arthritis being horrible every day with gravity pulling you down, it is a wonder with all that weight crushing down on him that he did not get smashed down to a tiny 6’4” - 6’7” at his death. With two illegal drunk drivers smashing into the rear of my car twice, I went from 5’9.75” down to 5’8” now !! Almost 2 inches shorter now, I was only 225lbs. Sadly at 550lbs poor Andre had no chance of beating the odds. Sure miss this guy in the ring !!
Andre’ the Giant is one of the many celebrities I love that sadly died before I was born, but I still wish I could have met. Freddy Mercury, Andre the Giant, John Candy and Tupac were all very talented and gifted men who died in the 1990s. That was one sad time, because of how much talent died with them, along with their (most likely) good personalities.
@@frank8235His daughter also became a wrestler and an actress. Her mother was a model in the 60's and then did pr work for wrestling. Christensen is their last name.
I heard of his growing problems I seen a video of a girl who kept growing and doctors tryed everything to help until recently they put her on royal jelly with something else in it init injections and after 2years taking this infection it helped her to stop growing,she's still the tallest woman in the world but she still alive and happy ,god bless her ,I live a good ending to a story like this ,🌈🌟😘🐦💙💕👍✌️👋
Rest In Peace Andre.
Yes
Gentle Giant

You're right... I was lucky enough to get to meet him also.... What a great guy.

The JOLLY FRIENDLY GIANT. Andre was SO kind, POLITE, smart, and thoughtful, TALENTED, and 100% heart, for his love was felt across the globe.
RIP Andre I wish he had the chance to enjoy life more. He is missed.

For a lot of kids in the 80s, like myself, Andre was the king of the ring. He's a hero if you ask me.
Amen
No matter how many times I hear it, this guy's story always makes me tear up. What an incredible man.
Same here my friend 👍
What a loveable person. God rest his soul. Andre left us way too young.
A one in a life time gentle giant 💪💯
RIP giant, from another giant.
All I have to say is Andre did it the right way.... Rest in peace
My sons loved him when they were young boys; as a wrestler. He had such a great personality and showmanship. That's how I remember Andre RIP
I was a waiter, working at a hotel in Stamford, he used to come over and seat at the bar and play a cards game with the bartender, he will drink 8 bottles of wine, and eat several hamburgers while playing, the burger in his hand look like a Oreo in my hand.

Met him a few times in a bar with Lou Albano in Carmel shopping center back in the 80s, he was one hellva nice guy !!!!
Very insightful story. Thanks for uploading.
Life is to short, glad he went big on chasing his dreams and enjoyed life as a giant man 💪💰 Rest in peace Andre

With two illegal drunk drivers smashing into the rear of my car twice, I went from 5’9.75” down to 5’8” now !! Almost 2 inches shorter now, I was only 225lbs. Sadly at 550lbs poor Andre had no chance of beating the odds. Sure miss this guy in the ring !!
Rest in peace André ❤️
I can’t comprehend the fact that Andre was a baby at one point
Andre’ the Giant is one of the many celebrities I love that sadly died before I was born, but I still wish I could have met.
Freddy Mercury, Andre the Giant, John Candy and Tupac were all very talented and gifted men who died in the 1990s. That was one sad time, because of how much talent died with them, along with their (most likely) good personalities.
Talk about a body that was chronically abused from work and play. Not enough down time
Whatta gentle giant.....
Rip Andre you are a hero
Seems like a great guy.
Grunge,Wow~ fanttastic content. see u around, =)
He was such a handsome guy when he was young, before the acromegaly changed his features.
My childhood hero saw him in Sudbury Arena 🇨🇦 Ontario I was 10 😂 I’m 63 !
Bu adam shrek filmini çok güzel oynardı;)
Andre was a good Ginat and had even bigger heart - He is missed ;-)
Acromegaly is basically gigantism for adults (in terms of puberty and growing in height, etc., expect you become more wider instead of taller)
It depends on the height
Loved andrea
OBEY
9:35 dang 😯😯
Nahhhh thats crazy
Andre was married and had a daughter. It would have been interesting to learn more about that and less about how much beer he could drink.
I'm not so sure that he got married or not but I do know he had a daughter. She displayed some of his memorabilia at a convention awhile back.
@@frank8235His daughter also became a wrestler and an actress. Her mother was a model in the 60's and then did pr work for wrestling. Christensen is their last name.
I heard of his growing problems I seen a video of a girl who kept growing and doctors tryed everything to help until recently they put her on royal jelly with something else in it init injections and after 2years taking this infection it helped her to stop growing,she's still the tallest woman in the world but she still alive and happy ,god bless her ,I live a good ending to a story like this ,🌈🌟😘🐦💙💕👍✌️👋
Andre did indeed get rides to school from Samuel Beckett.
Thanks. So sad..
if Andre is still alive this days..the marvel give him a jagernut character..
