Andre The Giant HBO Documentary: 14 Things We Learned

5. This Is Andre's Daughter Today

It's incredibly easy to forget that Andre has a daughter, Robin Christensen Roussimoff, who was born in 1979 yet is an often-ignored aspect of the wrestler's history for some reason.

In a rare appearance, she's interviewed briefly for this documentary, stating that she knew who her father was from an incredibly young age, and her mother would take her to see him if he came to town to wrestle.

However, due to her parents' poor communication and neither of them wanting her raised around wrestling, she didn't see Andre much.

Reflecting today, though, Robin says, "I think he was a good father...I understand he couldn't be the father he probably wanted to be."

Tim White, who arguably knows him even better than most of his blood relatives, opined that being so estranged from his daughter hurt Andre deeply.
