2. André The Giant (who played Fezzik) was a big softie—and also just big. “It was like Bill Goldman [author of the original novel] said: It’s like the Pentagon. No matter how big people tell you it’s going to be, it’s always bigger when you’re in front of it. He was like the Eighth Wonder of the World. He was one of the sweetest people I’d ever met.”

3. And André The Giant could really hold his liquor. “Andre could drink more than anyone I’ve ever met… He could drink 103 beers in one sitting. One sitting. And not pass out or anything, or even tipsy!” Inconceivable.


I've always had great respect and fondness for the late Monsieur Roussimoff. A truly kind and gentle soul.

Edit;

13. Does he ever say “as you wish” to his wife? “Of course.”

Wiki says this about Susan Sarandon:

She then attended The Catholic University of America, from 1964 to 1968,[14] where she began dating actor Chris Sarandon. They were married in 1967.


So I guess they really were.
