They're Making An Andre The Giant Movie, But Who On Earth Could Play Him

Image
While most biopics try to tell larger than life tales, the story of Andre "The Giant" Roussimoff is one that is hard to beat. His stature was only exceeded by his reputation, as both a wrestling legend in the World Wrestling Federation and an actor in such classics as The Princess Bride . Now his story of extreme fame, and his secret pain, is about to be brought onto the big screen – all thanks to his daughter. Variety broke the news today that Andre's daughter, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff, is helping the biography, Andre the Giant: Closer To Heaven , become a motion picture.

Boehringer got interested in the gridiron game five years ago at the age of 17 -- when he saw a video of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson's team took him with the 180th selection overall in the 2016 draft that began on Thursday. "I can't describe how I feel right now, just happy to be drafted," said Boehringer, who played four years in a German league but unlike the other Europeans who have made it to the NFL has never played in North America.
