I saw him near the McGregor statue a couple of years back and I couldn't believe he wasn't a six-four behemoth. I know people shrink, but he can't have been taller than me, and I'm nobody's idea of a strapping number nine.
Are you sure it wasn’t a perspective thing? There’s a photo of me next to the Statue of Liberty which my dad took when I was 7 and I look tiny next to it, but then there’s one from further away and I’m much bigger than it.
Now I’m 5’10 so I could probably stand next to it and look huge!
