Andre The Giant set for big upcoming documentary on HBO
- Thread starter Old School
- Start date
The giant
In his prime, Andre clocked in at a stone-cold 7'4" (4in taller than noted basketball man, Shaq) and 550lbs. By the time he was 12 years old he was already 6'3" and 240lbs (he could definitely buy his friends beers). "The Giant" was not one of those ironic nicknames, as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" quite literally suffered from gigantism, which is what caused his tremendous size.
The boozing
In an appearance on David Letterman, Andre admitted to drinking 119 beers in a single session. During surgery, he reportedly told an anesthesiologist it takes him "two liters of vodka before [he] feels warm."
On an episode of WWE's Legends of Wrestling, fellow wrassler Mike Graham confirmed he witnessed Andre consume 156 beers (in 16oz cans) in one night.
