* After Wrestling/WrestleMania VI, after Roddy Piper's infamous "Half body blackface", he had some solvent in the back to remove it after the show. You wouldn't guess it, but Andre threw the solution out and replaced it with water, with Piper trying his best to remove the paint on him to no avail. It got to the point that Roddy had to go through an Airport like that, which most had been the most awkward situation of his life.

* During a trip to Japan in the eighties, he would often find that the toilets in the hotels he stayed at were too small for him. So he would have to crap in the bathtub.

* During a trip to Japan in the eighties, he would often find that the toilets in the hotels he stayed at were too small for him. So he would have to crap in the bathtub. And even then, sometimes it wasn't enough; Wrestling/HulkHogan recalled a moment in his autobiography where Andre had to resort to some particularly extreme measures:
-->''I went down the hall to Andre's room and I could hear his booming laugh all the way at the other end of the hallway. The closer I got, the more clearly I could hear him laughing—and the more I could smell what he had done … he had taken the morning newspaper and spread it all over his bed. And since he couldn't fit on the toilet in that place and his ass was too big to hang over the tub … It looked like a three-foot pile of horse manure. And Andre was laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world.''

* One of Andre's final matches took place in Mexico, in a bout that also included Wrestling/BadNewsBrown and Wrestling/BamBamBigelow. According to both, Andre apparently had way too much to drink before the match, and as the giant went for a sit-down splash on Bad News Brown, he unleashed [[{{Pun}} brown]] justice on the latter wrestler. Poor Bad News Brown had his face covered in Andre the Giant's crap while the bad aroma began to fill the ring.

* Hulk Hogan, in his early career (before Hulkamania) would invite particularly hot women to his matches, where he'd give them a ringside seat, so he could show off to them in particular. Andre didn't care for this, thinking Hulk was not being professional, and told him so. One night, Hulk had ''three'' lovely ladies in the front row. When Andre noticed Hulk flexing for them, Andre started working ''very'' stiff, at one point (legit) choking Hogan in a corner and yelling "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis NO! MORE! GIRLFRIEEEENNNNDDSS!!]]"
