Giants Among Us – The Incredible Story of André the Giant.
Andre the Giant is a 2018 documentary film directed by Jason Hehir that explores the life and career of legendary wrestler André René Roussimoff, better known as Andre the Giant. The film was produced by HBO Sports and WWE Studios, offering an intimate look at the giant who captivated the worlds of wrestling and entertainment.
The documentary features interviews with notable figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Wright, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and Vince McMahon, who discuss André’s impact on the worlds of sports and pop culture. The film also addresses the challenges that his gigantism brought him, both in the ring and in his personal life.
- Greatness is often measured by our achievements, but sometimes physical greatness becomes a legend. One such example is André the Giant, a man who, by his mere presence, redefined the idea of colossal.
André René Roussimoff was born in 1946 in a French village, but it quickly became clear that he was no ordinary child. Suffering from acromegaly, a rare condition that causes excessive growth of bones and tissues, André grew to a height of 7 feet 2 inches (2.24 meters) and a weight of over 500 pounds (230 kilograms).
This impressive stature opened the door for him to the world of professional wrestling, where he became a global phenomenon. Every appearance he made was a spectacle – a man who seemed to be lifted from mythology, capable of dominating the ring with a simple move.
Despite his legendary status, everyday life was far from easy for him – from the constant pain caused by his illness to simple challenges like finding a chair big enough or a car he could comfortably fit in.
His impact was not limited to wrestling. He became a pop culture icon, appearing in famous films such as The Princess Bride (1987), where he played the funny and loyal Fezzik.
People have never forgotten him, and the 2018 HBO documentary Andre the Giant explored the life of this exceptional man in depth, showing the world both his glory and his inner struggle.
Maybe giants aren't just myths - maybe they really exist, and André is living proof that greatness isn't just about strength, but also about character...yep, I highly recommend the documentary.
