Andre the giant?

Anyone know what his "real" height and weight was? Wwe always said 7,5. Obviously that wasn't the case though, they seem to exagerrate just about anything they can for one reaon or another. Anyway been watching through some videos tonight with andre and its pretty clear in wm3 against hogan he was maybe 2-3 inches taller than hogan, then in one of the desire videos with vince standing beside him with a mic andre must be a good 2-3 feet taller than vince, obviously he was standing on something. Then another vid with bossman shaking andres hand andre was maybe 4 inches taller than bossman, in bossmans match with bigshow a few eyars ago show seemed to dwarf bossman by quite a bit.

Why do they go to such lengths though to exagerrate the height of a wrestler? Its like saying kanes 7 feet though hes obviously shrunk about 6-7 inches in the last year or so, think his real height is around 6.6 or so.

Anyway anyone know what height andre really was? Im guessing probably slightly smaller than undertaker or around that, maybe 6,8-6,9. As for his weight they always stated around 550lbs, im assuming that would be closer to the 400lb mark.
