The icons that an individual looks up to, will always have the motivation they need. Famous people have faced lots of ups and downs in their life and that’s what makes them different. But along with inspiring stories, they have embarrassing moments too, and that makes listening to their life story more enjoyable.
One of the craziest celeb stories was when NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain and WWE phenomenon, Andre the Giant, picked up Arnold Schwarzenegger like a baby at a restaurant. André the Giant was angry at Mr. Olympia for paying the dinner bill, so he picked him up with Chamberlain to embarrass him.

When a Reddit account shared this story in 2013, Schwarzenegger also jumped in the comments to make a slight adjustment to it.
The netizens couldn’t believe if it was really The Terminator himself, although the WWE fandom will surely not be surprised as it is ‘The Eighth Wonder of the World’, André the Giant.
TIL André the Giant was known to pay for his meal, regardless of whether he was the host or the guest. As Arnold Schwarzenegger was about to pay for the meal "found himself being physically lifted, carried back to his table and deposited in his seat by Andre, who stated emphatically, ‘I pay’." from todayilearned
Schwarzenegger corrected the story by commenting, “I can confirm this story is basically true. It is missing Wilt Chamberlain’s involvement, which was never paying and then acting like he had planned to pay this time, and helping Andre carry me all the way outside to drop me in a car.”
The legendary bodybuilder clearly appreciated the Giant Machine’s generosity.
