Robin Christensen-Roussimoff can only recall seeing her legendary dad a handful of times, some of those times in the wrestling ring and others in court (via CBS Sports). Sadly, one of André the Giant's biggest regrets was not developing a relationship with Robin, and although he did try, it never quite worked out. As Andrés close friend, Jackie McAuley, said, "It absolutely broke his heart that they couldn't spend more time together" (via CBS Sports).
In a 2020 interview with Sports Illustrated, Robin shared that she finds joy in watching her dad on screen, not so much as the wrestling champion, but as Fezzick in his major movie role in "The Princess Bride." "My dad was extremely, extremely proud of that role ... In a way, he kind of got to be himself as Fezzik," she said. "He was very lovable."
What may shock fans is that Robin did attempt to follow in her dad's footsteps and continue his legacy in the wrestling ring. According to The Cinemaholic, she is gifted like André, and stands 6 feet tall. A professional wrestling career was not in the cards for André the Giant's daughter, though, who ultimately decided to pursue acting instead.
