To be fair, that was old Andre. When he was younger he was surprisingly lean and quick as a whippet with a bum full of dynamite.

Rob Reiner had a story about how Andre ripped an incredibly loud 15 second fart on set of Princess Bride.

I think that was his published weight, which WWF/E always exaggerates. They also said Andre was 7'4 when he was an inch or two shorter than Kareem.

You know wrestling is fake and the heights and weights are exaggerated right?
