I imagine that would be even more challenging in Japan a guy like that they really should have made some custom arrangements. Imagine having to use the bath tube as the toilet it had to be a very annoying thing to deal with and the few times he went after someone it really was because they usually were being very disrespectful.

Most of the wrestlers were staying at our place. The first time i saw him he was sitting on the back seat of a convertible cadillac driven by his good friend Edouard Carpentier. Sometimes he slept on the floor beside the bed. When he was in the lobby it felt like we were in a doll house. When he walked in the dining room, everybody stopped eating. When he shook your hand it was embarrassing lol. He could drink 100 cans of beer in a day.

The guy just went about his business, made his living, lived life to the fullest and never screwed anybody over. Later you learn that some of the wrestling legends you grew up with were not good people behind the scenes. Andre is one of my absolute favourites. Check out his biography "The 8th Wonder of the World" that two guys did on him. It's really great.

I always loved Andre The Humble Giant as a child his countenance was so gentle it removed any fear because of his larger than most stature. He was always the same genuinely kind soul!

I find it unbelievable that Andre’s parents wouldn’t recognize him. He must have grown a lot in those years after he left home.

Hats off to Don Lane. This is probably one of the best interviews I’ve seen with André in a while. No rapid-fire questions about shoe size or weight or any of that. He’s treated with the utmost respect and care here, and you can tell how comfortable André feels just by how frankly he talks to Mr. Lane. At some points, it sounds like he’s just having a conversation with an old friend. He’s given plenty of time to collect his thoughts and comes up with some very insightful, personal answers. I’m sure this was, in part, some great emotional therapy for him. Good stuff.

We probably wont be blessed with someone like Andre ever again, he was something else. Made 12oz cans look like shot glasses, could drink several cases of beer without needing to pee or even feeling it, was so strong he could flip cars over, but was the nicest person in the world if you treated him with respect.
