André the Giant (May 19, 1946 – January 27, 1993) was a professional wrestler and actor, born André René Roussimoff in Grenoble, France. His great size was a result of excessive growth hormone, a condition known as pituitary gigantism, and led to him being dubbed "The Eighth Wonder of the World."

Andre was born Andre Rene Roussimoff in Grenoble, France on May 19, 1946. His parents, Boris and Marian Roussimoff, and four siblings were of average size. Andre, however, suffered from acromegaly, a disease that results in an over abundance of growth hormones. Also known as Giantism, this disease caused Andre's body to continue growing his whole life, and by the time he was 17 he stood 6'7".

France, but more importatly he hung out at a bar in Reading, Ohio named Eddies Cafe. There he would act jovial with the customers and a picture still stands to this day of the biggest mug of beer ive ever seen on the face of the earth. He retired to his home in the country, i think indiana or kentucky before he died of his oversized heart.

Andre the super does no longer team with Khali because of the fact his tale become how vast he become and how that he would desire to nevertheless be an athlete that would desire to run and bounce. So the wwe does no longer launch Khali for awhile and whilst they did the super would probale retire.
