The Redskins Wanted Him
In 1975, the team Washington Redskins were having trouble in their defensive line up. So they wanted Andre, which was one of the largest athletes in the world, to be part of their team. Andre was then offered a chance to try out for the said team. Redskins even called the office of WWWF to hold a press conference in Washington D.C. Although Vincent McMahon and Andre attended the conference, Andre didn’t try out for the Washington Redskins. Instead, he reached the WWE Championship that year.

The Cast Of The Princess Bride
All of the non-wrestling fans adore Andre the Giant for his previous work in the cult classic film “The Princess Bride” in 1987. Andre was portrayed as the lovely Giant Fezzik. But immediately, the producer of the film says that they should look for a basketball player who would fit in rather than Andre. Jane Jenkins, the casting director of the film, disclosed the scouting process by asking the original book’s author “Am I looking for a basketball player?” then the author replied, “No, I want a giant like André.”
