so i'm watching "special features" on The Princess Bride DVD and Cary Elwes, who plays Wesley (not important to this) relates a story that Andre the Giant told him one day. Andre the Giant, believe it or not, had been a large teenager and was too big to ride the bus to school, but his family was too poor to own a car, so his nieghbor drove him to school every day. Andre says, "my neighbor was a very nice man, very nice man. very famous, you probably heard of him." Elwes asks who his neighbor is- Samuel Beckett. so Sam Beckett drove the adolescent Andre the Giant to school.
