I think this must have been made shortly after Andre's back surgery, as a few years after this he was able to carry weight on his back and continued his wrestling career until his decline.
Andre was a gentle giant, however he had a short fuse as well.

@guyfihi when nobody dares fuck with you, and every time you get angry everyone fears you, you tend to not want to show a side where people would run away. Everyone who isnt just a complete dick is nice to you because why anger the guy that could throw you through a wall(and why be a dick to anyone really). Over time you have no reason not to have a sweet disposition and you so you do. its just part of your personality.

@guyfihi The reason is that it is completely illogical to stereotype a person based on their appearance.

Woe to the one who cuts Andre's hair, however. In that situation there's only one thing you can do: RUN.

I wish i knew André

That brings tears.

We have this guy at work. His name is Yuri. He is a former weightlifter from the Ukraine. He is not Russian--don't ever call a Ukrainian a Russian. He is 6ft and 300 lbs with arms bigger than my legs. He is built like one of those guys from "The World's Strongest Man" competitions. He has such a gentle disposition. For some reason a lot of big guys are like that.

He really was a Gentle Giant, I also read that when they were shooting on cold days, Robin Wright would complain that her head was cold. So Andre would put his hand on her head, to keep her warm.

Wow. That was really nice.

Agent Gideon! I love Andre the Giant. He seemed like a Giant Sweetheart.
That's so sweet! Andre must have been such a sweetheart.
R.I.P. Andre the Giant. The Gentle Giant. <3

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. It's a rather sweet story. Sounds like Andre was something of the storybook gentle giant as well.
