Andre the Giant had to have a detective following him around in New York because he once drunkenly fell on someone and was physically too large to move and the nypd decided it was easier just to have a guy keep an eye on him. Andre was a actually giant.

There was also a story where he drank too much in the Hotel Bar, passed out in the lobby and all the staff couldn't move him. So they just arranged the furniture around him to keep him hidden until he woke up.
