Robin Christensen-Roussimoff – Keeping her ‘Giant’ Dad’s Legacy Alive
Robin has not had a very good relationship with her dad, French wrestler and Princess Bride actor Andre the Giant, and yet, many years after his death, she is doing everything possible to keep his legacy and memory alive by representing him at various Comi Cons, WWE events and documentary screenings. Her earliest memory of meeting her “absentee” dad was at a clinic where they were getting a paternity test done.
After the test was positive, he eventually accepted that he had fathered her with her mother, Jean Christensen, who used to work in PR for wrestling events. The very last time Robin spoke to her father was during Christmas of 1992, as Andre passed away in January of 1993 due to heart failure in Paris, just after he attended his father’s funeral.
