Andre The Giant – 6’9″, 520 lb
Andre the Giant was a wrestling legend who captivated legions of fans across the world. Many people thought he was 7ft 4in tall, although he was only 6’9. He exploited his strength and talents to battle three or four opponents at once, defeating WWE heavyweights like Hulk Hogan and King Kong Bundy. He was also well-known for his portrayal as Fezzik, the good-hearted giant, in the legendary film “The Princess Bride,” which helped him get a lot of new fans. Andre the Giant suffered from a disease in which his body produced an excess of human growth hormone, which accounts for his larger proportions and deep voice. Sadly, he died of heart failure in 1993, at the age of 46.
