During the filming of The Princess Bride, André the Giant once released a 16-second fart that brought production to a complete standstill. According to director Rob Reiner, the sound was so loud it startled everyone, and after a moment of silence, Reiner asked, “Are you okay?” to which André famously replied, “I am now, boss.”

I vaguely remember a wrestling match between Andre the Giant and Haystacks Calhoun from when I was a kid. That’s some large wrestling, I tell ya what.

Standing by this American living room on wheels he looks just like a regular bloke with a regular European sedan from the same era.

I hated that wrestling made him the bad guy & he died the bad guy in lots of peoples eyes, you can tell he had a good heart.

And he just got a flat front tire!
Damn. He makes the Cadillac look small. We used to have a late 60’s Cadillac and I think it was 23 feet long.
