Which Nobel Prize winner drove Andre The Giant to school?

Which Nobel Prize winner drove Andre The Giant to school?

We all know Andre the Giant for what he is known for-well-being Huge! He was also a wrester. The man didn’t get his name for no reason.




At the tender age of 12 he weighted well over 200lbs and he measured 6’3”. Early on in his life his gigantism showed. By the time he died in 1993, Andre was 7’4”.




Needless to say, most things kids did normally weren’t as easy for the French born giant. Say like, taking the bus to school for instance.




Andre was much too big to fight and he needed a way to get back and forth. Problem solved when his father was repaid by a man named Samuel Beckett.




Mr. Beckett is a well-known novelist and poet, among other things; his writing style is more of the tragic comedy of human ways. Samuel’s writing did earn him a Nobel Prize in 1969 and he is also on the list of the 20th century influential writers.




How did the two meet? Well, a man by the name of Boris Roussimouff was one of the locals on the job to building Mr. Beckett’s cottage in France. They got to talking and Samuel offered as repayment he would take Andre to school in his truck.
