WWE fans ‘minds blown’ by incredible throwback picture of Andre the Giant on plane – as astonishing toilet story emerges
WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant was a captivating figure – but it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows for the legend.
Flying on a plane became a common issue for the star, producing some viral photos and unforgettable stories.
One time, he left passengers “screaming” after using the restroom on the tightly packed plane.
Former wrestler Brutus Beefcake, also in the WWE Hall of Fame, revealed he “couldn’t breathe” after the “Eighth Wonder of the World” dropped a deuce on the plane.
Brutus told Wrestling Shoot Interviews: “Andre would always time it so that he would take a dump before he went to the airport, before he went to the plane, then he’d be good for a day or two.”
But after the Frenchman boarded the plane, Brutus says his fight colleague “went to town” on the toilets.
Brutus added: “I’ve never heard anything like it. The sounds that are coming out of there.
“The smell that started coming forward, the back of the plane had a lot of people. There were people falling out of their seats and into the aisles.
“Gagging, puking, crying, screaming, and we were all falling on the floor laughing ourselves sick.
“I couldn’t breathe. He must have half filled-up a garbage bag full of s**t.”
Unfortunately for Andre, almost every flight was unbearable – and not because of the bathrooms.
The 7-foot-3 inch and 520-pound marvel didn’t fit into any seat due to his ginormous size.
Pictures have arisen from the giant seated on planes, with Andre stuffed between the rigid armrests.
Calling the situation uncomfortable for Andre was considered a massive understatement.
One photo, featured in HBO’s Andre the Giant documentary, is taking the internet by storm.
On Reddit, fans were stunned by the snap.
One posted: “His gigantism is sad, but also the best thing that ever happened to him.”
A second joked: “He’s just a little bigger than the person I usually get seated next to…”
Another added: “My minds blown!”
With a fourth commenting: “What a legend. I wonder if he cleared out the airplane bar on this flight.”
Sadly, Andre passed away in 1993 at age 46.
No matter, the giant’s legend will live on until the end of time.
