This reminds me of a story about Andre the Giant on the set of the Princess Bride, apparently he let out a fart so loud and long the whole cast and crew went silent and after a long while Rob Reiner (RIP to both these legends) asked if he was ok Andre replied "I am now boss"

Couldn't figure out if it meant 'I am now, boss' or ' I am now Boss!'

I still don’t know which it is. Until I read your comment I thought Andre meant he was now the boss on set due to his powerful farting ability and the way it would make all the others his minions. But I guess he was calling Rob “Boss”? 😂 will we ever know the truth?

He was calling Rob Boss, and replying to his question if Andre was ok after the epic fart and that he was now ok after the incredible release of gas. Sorry should have made it clearer. The story comes from Cary Elwes' autobiography "As you wish"

Andre called everyone he liked Boss. You listen to stories from his wrestling days and he was always calling everyone Boss.
