#4 Andre the Giant – Movie Star

Andre the Giant has 70 credits as an actor

Andre the Giant was the first wrestler with a unique build to become a legit draw. His awe-inspiring presence made people flock to the WWF, quickly establishing himself as the star attraction of the show. His unrivalled physical attributes earned him the right of being the highest paid wrestler in the world, as he took home $400,000 a year.

Such popularity allowed the Giant to form his own niche in the movie industry, as no other actor shared his impressive build. Between 1967 and 1981, Andre made appearances in several Hollywood blockbuster films, whilst still dazzling fans in the ring.
