On the set of Conan the Barbarian, with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant giving Arnold Schwarzenneger a lift.
On the set of The Princess Bride in 1987, Andre the Giant let out a 16-second fart that brought the entire production to a standstill.
In an interview with ABC News, Cary Elwes, who played Westley in the film, shared some of his favorite personal stories of his time on the set.
Elwes said, when wrestler Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik in the movie, "let out a 16 second fart and brought production to a standstill." "It could be heard three counties away," Elwes said with a laugh. "Nobody said anything except Rob, who said 'Are you OK, Andre?' and André replied, 'I am now, boss.'
16 seconds is a loooooooooong time... about the time it took you to read this post, possibly even longer.
16 seconds? Inconceivable!
CCCP would have voted Andre a “10!” for that one, comrades!
