It's not terribly surprising that Arnold Schwarzenegger was close friends with Andre, given how they both became successful strong-men in the same era.

However, Arnie told one outrageous story of a time where he took Andre to dinner, and after insisting that he would pay the bill as he was the one who invited Andre, Andre picked him up, carried him away from his chair and put him on a high-up piece of furniture, "like a little doll", to stop him paying the tab.

The insanity of anyone treating prime-era Arnie like a dainty little thing will never get old, to say nothing of Andre's clear generosity when it comes to covering the bill.
