Now we're getting into the sad part of the doc, and this depressing picture really says it all. Perhaps the film's most heart-wrenching story involves Andre suffering through gruelling 14-hour flights when travelling internationally for a match.

Tim White explained that because Andre couldn't fit inside the conventional airplane bathroom, the flight crew would need to draw a curtain around him while he relieved himself into a bucket, and then dump the bucket's contents into the toilet themselves.

It sure wasn't ideal for anyone involved, but clearly a significant issue in Andre's life that most fans continue to take for granted.
