André’s Other Dreams
You’d be hard-pressed to find something that André didn’t get to do during his lifetime. One of his biggest ambitions was to see a Broadway production, which wasn’t necessarily an option considering his size.
He seemed to have an internal struggle around blocking someone else from seeing the show due to his size. Showcasing his more thoughtful side, gestures like this meant he had to leave going to the theatre on his bucket list until he died.
André and The Rock
Few people know that André and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson are families! The Rock shared an image on Twitter of him at five years old, where he references “Uncle André” and the fact that he missed him.
Just kidding. While fans also fell for the “Uncle” reference, there is no blood relation. The Rock’s dad Rocky was close to André the Giant, so the pair spent a lot of time together. A lot of times your friends can become family, especially under the correct circumstances.
