Not What You Think
In the wrestling world, things tend to be exaggerated a lot, and Andre was no exception. From the beginning of his career, he was said to be 7 feet 4 inches tall, but by the end of his career, it was said that he was 6 feet 10 inches. How can that be? It turns out that he really was 7’4, but in the 1980s, he needed back surgery. As a result, he lost several inches, leading him to be 6’10.
Giant Appetite
For the most part, Andre didn’t order such big meals, but when he wanted to show off, he didn’t hold back. According to his friend, Tim White, he would sometimes eat as many as 12 steaks and 15 lobsters in one sitting!
