Hola Dannie aqui,
HBO Sports, WWE, and the Bill Simmons Media Group released a trailer for a documentary about every 80's child's favorite giant "ANDRE THE GIANT."
Andre is an unforgettable figure that towered at 7'4" and weighed well over 500 pounds. Andre was born on the 19th day of May in Coulommiers, Seine-et-Marne, France in 1946 and passed away on January 27th in 1993 only having walked amongst us Micronians 46 years his footprint still leaves its mark on the sport and pop culture communities.
Here is the trailer for HBO's new documentary, read on for more details, videos and information!
Here is Andre as the character Fezzik in the beloved film "The Princess Bride" from 1987, I love Andre the gentle giant!
And here is Andre as the God Dagoth in demon form from "Conan The Destroyer" he was uncredited but believe it or not that is our man Andre!
Here is a clip of the now famously infamous artist Shepard Fairey talking about Andre his muse, who has become immortally ingrained in Punk and graffiti culture!
Here is a little over fourteen minutes of Andre and Hulk Hogan battling it out in 1988, I remember watching this match as a seven-year-old tomgirl who worshipped wrestling! This is a good one!
And here we have a video talking about his insane ability to drink inhuman amounts of alcohol.
"ANDRE THE GIANT" premieres April 10th on HBO and I for one will be having a viewing party at Geekette Headquarters with steak, lobster, beer, and wine! A feast and many a toast shall be raised for Andre as he was and always will be a giant crush of mine!
Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!
Dannie aka Pekosa Peligrosa
