I always have mixed feelings about stories about what a lush Andre the Giant was because, you know, it's funny talking about how much he had to drink to get drunk but also he was self-medicating for chronic pain
I saw Bill Nye get asked for a selfie at the airport once and while he handled it more graciously he still did so with a very clear awareness of this dynamic (he never stopped walking, "Okay we're gonna do a walking selfie, walk with me")

I have no problem with that. I would have had no problem if Andre said “Sorry I don’t give autographs, it causes a big hassle but thanks for being a fan and have a great day”. He was just rude to a little kid.

I mean yeah, and he was a lifelong sufferer of acromegaly who, at the point in time you said this happened, had chronic pain that left him almost immobile
