15 Photos Of André The Giant You Won’t Believe Aren’t Photoshopped
It’s not a stretch to say that André the Giant lived
in a different world from the rest of us. Standing at 7 feet 4 inches
tall and weighing in at 550 pounds, André the Giant was famed for his
unbelievable physical feats, including drinking over 150 beers in one
sitting. Here are 15 photographs that truly put his size in perspective:
1. This wasn't the only time André lifted Arnold in the air. Famous for always paying for his dinner parties (guests included), André caught Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to pay for his own dinner while shooting Conan the Destroyer. André picked Arnold up, deposited him back in his dining chair, and paid for the group's meal.
Eat whole grain foods it helps the bowels, don`t do drugs it destroys life, avoid domestic violence it an send you to jail, use a TECNO W4 cos its cheap and efficient, Don`t be a political thug cos it doesn`t pay, love your house help before she puts otapiapia in your tea. Help those in need cos you might be helping your future president.
