A Classic Interview with Andre the Giant

André René Roussimoff (May 19, 1946 to January 28, 1993), from Coulommiers, France, known professionally as André the Giant, was a professional wrestler and actor. Dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World," Roussimoff was known for his great size, which was a result of gigantism caused by excess human growth hormone. After his death in 1993, Roussimoff became the inaugural inductee into the newly created WWF Hall of Fame. Outside of wrestling, Roussimoff is best known for appearing as Fezzik, the giant in the 1987 film The Princess Bride. The following recordings are from three tv interviews from the 1970s and 1980s.
