One Of His Favorite Pranks Was Moving His Friends’ Cars

Andre the Giant was always a jokester, and one of his favorite pranks was moving friends’ cars while they weren’t looking. However, he did not get in the car and drive away. He would pick up the car and bring it to a different location to get back at his friends who owned cars where he could never fit. If you are wondering where exactly Andre the Giant would leave the cars, sometimes he would just turn the car around, and at other times he would place the vehicle in small spaces between buildings and lamp posts. It really depended on how devious he wanted to be and how much fun he wanted.

He Was Too Big For The Army

When Andre was 19 years old, he received a draft notice from the French Peace Time Army. However, he was unable to enlist as the army had no shoes which would fit him, he was too long for the French bunks, and too big to hide in trenches. It seems fate had other plans and Andre’s failure to enlist let him focus on wrestling. He worked as a mover in Paris during the day and trained at night. He made his professional debut in the United Kingdom in 1963, and ten years later he debuted on the WWE stage. The Giant even wrestled in Japan, before he came to America!
