Known in the wrestling world as “André the Giant,” Roussimoff was, at his biggest, 7’4” and nearly 500 pounds. He suffered from acromegaly (also known as Giantism), a condition that caused him to grow continuously throughout his life.

He went on to star in several movies, but is best remembered for playing Fezzik, the lovable giant in the film The Princess Bride.
