André the Giant, born André Roussimoff, was a literal and figurative giant in the wrestling world. His immense size and presence made him a global attraction, earning him significant sums from international tours and headlining events across continents.

As a centerpiece of Vince McMahon’s WWE expansion in the 1980s, André became a household name, most famously facing Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania III. Beyond wrestling, he found success in film, most notably as Fezzik in The Princess Bride, which endeared him to a broader audience.
