Andre the Giant (Andre Rene Roussimoff) was born in the countryside of Grenoble, France to parents of average size. It was quickly discovered that Andre most closely shared the genetics of his Bulgarian grandfather who stood over 7 feet tall. When Andre was 14, he towered over his peers at 6â2 and weighed 200 lbs.
Andr the Giant (Born Andr Roussimoff 19 May 1946  27 January 1993) was born in a small farming community in Grenoble, France to Boris and Marian Rouismoff. His parents and four siblings were all of normal size, but Andr suffered from acromegaly. As Andre the Giant grew up he began to often disagree with his parents.
