Just got done watching a show on the History channel about Andre and it said that at the time he was first scouted by the "WWF" he was 18 years old and already 6'10". But since he had been diagnosed with Giganta...he would continue to grow as long as he lived. He was 23 when diagnosed and also told he would live to be 40. He did live until he was almost 50 but the last couple years he was on crutches and could barely move. Anyway to finish answering your question....The show went on to say that at his tallest he was 7'7" and 560 lbs. Maybe check your listings for the History channel and see if it wil be back on anytime soon?
