Few pop culture figures embodied the figurative and literal definition of “larger than life” quite like Andre The Giant, and in HBO’s latest documentary, they explore the life of the iconic wrestler and actor.
Andre The Giant features interviews with fellow wrestling luminaries Hulk Hogan, Jerry Lawler, Ric Flair, Vince McMahon and Gene Okerlund as well as Cary Elwes and Billy Crystal who shared the screen with Andre in the 1987 classic film The Princess Bride.
Andre The Giant premieres April 10 on HBO.
