André
René Roussimoff was born in 1946 in Grenoble, France. In his early teens,
he exhibited signs of gigantism though he was not diagnosed with acromegaly until
his twenties. He began his training in Paris at 17 and eventually became known
in wrestling circuits around the world. In 1973, Andre joined the organization
now known as World Wrestling Entertainment, where he became a superstar and rival
of WWE legend Hulk Hogan.
