Rob Reiner's hilarious Andre the Giant story - SI Now | Sports Illustrated
/ sportsillustrated - Sport
Andre was the heart of Princess Bride. His presence would have been irreplaceable.
I Can NEVER Get Enough of the Andre the Giant "Princess Bride" Stories!
This is an interesting story from an interesting man. When Andre the Giant wrestled in the Welland Arena,
he would have an apartment across the street rented for him so he didn't have to travel very far.
I had a job painting that apartment, and everyone, from neighbours to arena employees, loved that man.
He brought much more than just his giant self.
His life was one of discomfort. Jake the Snake Roberts said he got into the business as a referee and one of his responsibilities was to rent a van and drive Andre to the next venue. I'm 6'3", so I know how uncomfortable planes and buses can be for someone taller/bigger, but I can't imagine how it must have been for poor Andre.
Btw, Jake said that before they drove to the next match, Andre made him stop at a liquor store and buy two cases of beer, which he drank over the course of an 80-mile trip. Jake said what impressed him so much was not how much Andre could drink, but that he didn't have to piss even once during the trip.
@@williamshaw9047 Jake Roberts shared that story on the Joe Rogan podcast. Can only imagine how it must have been to just be around Andre.
There's a sight to see. 500 pound Andre,drunk, and dangling from cables
they say andre drank to comfort the pain of acromegaly, gigantism. he only lived about 6 more years after princess bride.
Michael Kevin Lovett. I have been sad of his passing for years.
Gavin says: I loved Fezzick in the Princess Bride but do you know I loved the iconic film even more with all the Giant comedy moments especially when with one knock the door fell down!!!
He also drank because bars were one of the few places that were comfortable for him. He couldn't go shopping (though he loved QVC, believe it or not). At one point, he told a buddy that he wanted to go see a Broadway play or musical, but refused to let the friend get them tickets because he said his presence would distract from the performances onstage.
Yeah but he lived while he was alive more importantly!
You don't know that .he drank cause he liked drinking
In Andre’s defense, Beaujolais is a good red wine.
Rob's impression of Andre makes him sound like a Quebecois lol
Andre did live in Montreal for a while lol
More like Desi Arnaz
Andre the Giant was a Quantum Leaper
I thought it was going to be another story about one of Andre’s epic farts. 😂
Awww jeeez, i gotta listen to the polock? Edith, get my ear muffs.
AMEN JAMIE THIS DUDE IS A FUCKING CLOWN 🤡
I haven't seen his face in 30 yrs and the second i did...MEATHEAD !
Lmao ha ha ha ha ha ha 😆 😂 🤣
If Rob Reiner is telling this story than you can have a more understanding of Andre
This movie has so many great lines and the whole inconceivable lines are a legend now but there is one line that I don't know was intentional or not... Iocaine powder. Colorless, odorless, and tasteless. The letter I in Latin is J... Jocaine powder... joking powder. It kills when placed in wine... lol Gordie
0:17 I never even realized, that Little Jimmy Norton was in this film.
Andre weighs as much as 2-3 normal sized men, and yet can consume 10x the alcohol of a normal sized man. The math don't work.
Shoot..I wish I could drink like that
Some normal sized guys can consume shit tons of alcohol too. There have been plenty of times when I’ve drunk 40-50 units (more than a litre of 40% alcohol) and driven myself home
@@immers2410 bulls***
Don't think anyone could keep up with andre
One of the symptoms of acromegaly is an enlarged liver. So even for his size, his liver was bigger than it needed to be.
Interesting thing here. All the stories you hear about Andre everyone says the same thing. He will typically end a conversation with "boss". That alone proves these are not just made up for the laughs.
I love this story
RIP BOSS..
This is 1 very COOL INTERVIEW !!!!! 2 thumbs up to Rob Reiner 👍👍
Not exactly the nicest Andre story. As far as alcohol based ones go, I prefer the one where he couldn't make it back to his room at a rather nice hotel and passed out in the middle of the lobby. Unable to move him employees simply surrounded him with a velvet rope and just let him sleep it off.
Is that true?
I love andre and rob reiner.
Rob was great on allin the family and this guy created the awesome movie "Misery".
I know he made other great films too but I cant remember the titles right now.
I can't think of him without thinking of ed tv
Rob Reiner was the Meathead
correction IS the meathead. commie pos
Still is...
If I grew up in the same town as Sid Visious, would that make me a dumb guy.
Welp, since Sid Vicious isn't spelled Sid Visious, and even Sid knew how to spell it, I wouldn't necessarily call just that itself dumb...
It would make you half the man that I am, with half the brains that I have
They would have “put” Andre on the horse with CGI these days...easy and no danger for anyone.
Did the authorities change the meaning of hilarious when I wasn't looking?
May not have been the kindest Andre the Giant story, but sadly far too many "GREAT Andre the Giant story!" offerings involve his having consumed unfathomable amounts of alcohol.
I love Beaujouleis nouveau too , but my limit is 2 bottles over 5 hours
Andre would have been disappointed in you 😊
meat head from all in the family?
Thats him....
Rick Fountain WAt??? Rob Reiner was meathead? How have I not learned that by now? I'm 34. Wow. Being serious btw not sarcastic.
Still a libtard meathead
@@jasonadkins8894 A famous, respected film director. And you?
@@msalzberg4962 A man that is wealthy not rich, successful entrepreneur, faithful husband and a child of God, and a recovered former libtard.
He spews emotional vitriolic hate without any rationale, facts, or civility.
Unlike him I don't use my station to spew my political views as facts.
He's just another enterainer that forgot his job is to entertain. Now he's more renowned for his hate of his own countrymen.
Its so weird thats Mike Stivic from all in the family....geez
I would have given a standing ovation if Andre sat on Reiners face & sharted.
I always thought Earthquake looked a little like Rob Reiner...
Just noticed the guy in the princess bride played on Taxi
Yeah, no. The guy on Taxi was supposed to be Vizzini, but thankfully Wallace Shawn played it. I can't imagine anybody else pulling off what he did the way he did it. And the wife (not a witch) of Miracle Max was the wife of Latka on Taxi...for what it's worth.
He's not exaggerating
Lived in the same town as an author = Smart 😆
Actually, said author drove him to school as a kid.
I went to & reviewed the now cult flix from 0ctober of 1987 "THE PRINCESS BRIDE" (strong ***-0out of 4 stars) But only grossed $31m.?
i love maggie grey the smartest lady in sports
Buttteeerrr!!!
He like to drink and he like to fart lol
To bad nobody had video cameras back then.
Rob did not mention Andre's MONUMENTAL FLATULENCE.
"When Andre the Giant farted...it was an event" - Vince McMahon
"He was smart, he lived in the same town as Samuel Beckett." Huh?
Gal Dagon it’s just telling 2 facts in one thought. It doesn’t mean they have to go together. It’s a thought not a pre written speech.
Gal Dragon Actually, Reiner seriously undersells their connection - Becket literally drove young Andre to school.
I wish Andre the Giant was still alive, so that he could crush my parents skulls ☠️ into powder!
I thought this story was suppose to be funny

Rob Reiner couldn’t be stupider or less talented.
Meat Head!!
I'm not the only one who thought that immediately!!!!
Rob Reiner was born on third base, thinks he hit a home run.
Fortunately, he has talent, and has managed to circle all the bases.
Meh, he got a director's nomination for a few good men. Many of his films have been critically and commercially successful. Is a good enough director to have been trusted to direct 20 multimillion dollar films. Nice guy. Nice family. Is a grandfather. Has had a long and successful career acting, writing, directing, and producing. Could retire if he wanted to but enjoys the work. Made his way first as a character actor in television, writer, director, then producer. No scandals other than pissing off right wing snowflakes.
What, couldn't find a clydesdale or a two horse carriage?
who is the host?
In cowboy movies haven’t we seen two 250 lb men on a horse?
Who's the host ?
Billy Crystal took a lot of what he saw of, and experienced with, Andre and made My Giant. Rob’s story is pretty much spot on with a scene in My Giant, except in My Giant there’s a bunch of vomit.
Bwahahaha
What's the name of the woman interviewing him?
Maggie somethingorother
The Meathead was lucky to have met Andre. Too bad the cable didn't let loose and Andre fall on top of the bastard.
GOT TO SEE ANDRE 3 TIMES ON MY 53 YEARS) SEPARATE TIMES INMY (53yrs) TOU WILL NEVER FULLY WUITNESS A LARGER INDIVUDAL I WAS 10 WHEN FIRST WTNESSIUNG HIM IUN ASOIUTH PHILY DUMP CALLED "THE ARENA":
The term "hilarious" got thrown around a little loosely here I'd say. Terrible.
No horse can support him? They should have used a draft horse.
Draft horses pull they don't lift
@sailorofthesun exactly. They probably could have used an ox though.
@@orion351us Something like Alex Karras did in Blazing Saddles...
@@billyboblillybob344 That was my inspiration
Once a meathead always a meathead.
the title is not exaggerated either?
If Andre is 2-3x the weight of an average man, then how the hell can his alcohol tolerance be exponentially greater?
Each beer was like one swallow
Practice.
rob reiner makes bad ass movies
"But this turn to 11!".
Yes yes and yes
Real men don't drink Transheuser-Busch
The Giant and The Meathead!
Once a meathead, always a meathead.
That was literally the worst Andrea the Giant story I've ever heard.
Nice clip, but what does this have to do with sports?
commercials commercials commercials
Not even close to funny. Click bait
It d be funny if he told Hillary :"You can t handle the truth". truth being that she got beat bad by carrot top.
yeah by -2.9 million votes lol
orgonko the wildly untamed *dead people, illegal aliens & voter fraud.
Synopsis: Reiner, who has achieved fame and fortune telling stories on film, tells the single most boring story about Andre that any human has ever told.
I was waiting for the punchline. I wasted 2 minutes and eleven seconds of my life on this stupid video.
The little boy? Ya mean Fred fucking Savage?!
No stories on Andre letting out a giant fart?
That would be a funny story if it wasn't told by Rob Reiner
Why all the hate on for Rob Reiner?
My guess would be it's because of his politics. . He has been a critic of Trump since the beginning and some people don't like that. However, rather than coming out and just saying that, they attack him personally or belittle his achievements. I mean, he has even joked that if he ever won an Oscar the headline would read 'Meathead wins Academy Award" so obviously the partisan digs don't really have that much effect on him. Just like most of what these people say in general to people they don't agree with. Like it or not, the man has been a part of many zeitgeist moments in entertainment history, as an actor and a director, and they haven't. I suspect they probably even like some of his work (come on, who hates the Princess Bride?) but they're too petty to acknowledge it.
Right wing snowflakes crying. Reiner had the nerve to point out the Emperor's ugly nakedness.
Because he is an elitist, left-wing, socialist, lunatic who from his lofty, "Ivory Tower" perch thinks he knows what's best for the lowly peons that he looks his snide, spoiled brat, nose down upon yet has these very same 'unwashed masses' to thank for allowing him to maintain his cushy lifestyle. He's among the worst of the worse in this vein with regard to the hypocritical, out-of-touch "Hollywood" set.
@@jkorshak Oh shut up, you ignorant freak.
@@manofiske3318 No. You shut up, you angry snowflake stump. You can't handle the truth.❄
Meat head!!!!!!!!!!
Nice story. Not hilarious, though.
This was horrible. He makes it sound like Andre was just a dumb giant. When in fact he was a pretty smart and successful man. He owned a restaurant, had a farm that he loves working in. Then he became a wrestling star. Scratch that, I just missed the part where he said "he was a great guy, very smart" so that was my bad lol
Spootski And he was an epic lush
Reiner led off by talking about how intelligent Andre was.
He started the story by saying how smart André was. It’s very well known that Andre drank a lot.
Spootski he said he was smart in the beginning ..... shut up snowflake
I lived on his ranch when i was little he was gentle kind down to earth and very patient he had to have everything modified to fit his stature !!!
Hardly hilarious at all. Heard him tell this same story word for word many times, even the what do I do for a living remark.
I don't think much about the alcohol content. how many people do you know who can drink 30 bottles of anything in one day? he must have been peeing for hours...
mike and gloria = bill and hillary :-( Archie would be so proud....
If you search a story about Andre, from former wrestler,Jake The Snake Roberts here on youtube,Jake tells a story of Andre drinking 48 beers and not peeing once.
Meat Head
Tolerance
..
Is meathead jewish?
Is meathead jewish?
First dislike.
Hilarious?.My arse.
That story sucked!!!
Totally
Need a hug?
That clip sucked!!!!!
What a stupid story. It ended in some reality Rob doesn't know what he does for a living!
Why?
Because it didn't end with the story-teller nearly waxing poetic by telling the audience some sappy. largely disingenuous, anecdote that pretends to illustrate just how incredibly wonderful a human being was good ol' Andre ?
Rob Reiner? Who the hell owns Sports Illustrated now...Fucking yuck!
Lame story.
thats not hilarious, dont exaggerate
Um, not "hilarious". Cute, maybe. But NOT hilarious.
very boring and just one more jew yacking
shuddup nazibitch
