Roy Focker Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Slightly Off Topic. Some friends of mine got back a week or two ago from a trip to New York. They had one celebrity sighting, Elijah Wood. According to them he was short. I mean really really short. They saw him in a shop or something. One of them was a short koren girl. She's about 5 feet or so. Married to this 6'2 white guy. They're a funny looking but cute couple, anways she claims Elijah was smaller than her and decribed him as nearly a midget.

reddsun1 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Oh yeah, I believe it. What's that saying? "the camera puts on about 10 lbs" From my own personal experiences: there's that time I saw Paul Newman at a race in NY. Guy wouldn't weigh 100 lbs soaking wet. I have a friend who recently married a fellow that does work as a stunt double; she's got pics and testifies to the fact that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is not nearly as massive as he looks on screen. Says he looks "average height" ['bout 5'10" -ish?] at best in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Your friend may be many things, but she clearly has a poor eye for details. Ask her if she can remember how big Wood's hands were, and post her recollections here for us to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) I saw the guy at E3 back around 2000, and he's definitely not under 5 foot. He's more like 5 foot 6. Who gives a crap if he's short. The guy gets paid bank to read lines in front of a camera in exotic places like New Zealand. He's laughing all the way to the bank while he travels the world reading scripts when he feels like it.

The world has been "ruled" and owned by short people, and they still do.. Napoleon; short Hitler, short Atila the hun, short Michael jackson, ok just the king of pop..but well, also short... The list goes on and on... And modernly speaking; I am sure the masonics and most rich jews (not discriminating here) are not tall or great looking either..this is history speaking ... I would not worry about your friend seeing a short actor and feeling disgusted about it..I would fell more worry about her who had to marry a tall guy to get pass her height complex so she could feel accepted...

Mechamaniac Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I remember seeing an article in some boobie rag years ago. I remember it was a boobie rag because they could actually print the full title of the article.... "The Little a-holes" It was a special about all the little midgety dickweeds in Hollywierd. Namely , Joe Pesci, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, and a few others I can't remember. JSA - The real question about Cruise is "How far could you throw him before the aliens caught him, and returned him gently to the ground?"

Final Vegeta Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Napoleon; short Not quite. Contrary to popular belief (perpetuated by the above-mentioned caricatures), Napoleon was not especially short. After his death in 1821, the French emperor's height was recorded as 5 feet 2 inches in French feet. This corresponds to 5 feet 6.5 inches in Imperial (British) feet, or 1.686 meters, making him slightly taller than an average Frenchman of the 19th century. The metric system was introduced during his lifetime, so it was natural that he would be measured in feet and inches for much of his life. A French inch was 2.71 centimetres, whereas an Imperial inch is 2.54 centimetres. In addition to this miscalculation, his nickname le petit caporal adds to the confusion, as non-francophones mistakenly take petit literally as meaning "small"; in fact, it is an affectionate term reflecting on his camaraderie with ordinary soldiers. He also surrounded himself with soldiers, his elite guard, who were always six feet tall or taller. I am slightly taller than Napoleon, just a centimetre. Anyway, we have two sayings here in Italy: "lies have small legs" (meaning that lies can be discovered easily) and the "L rule" (meaning that your height is inversionally proportional to the length of your member). Maybe in English there are similar sayings. The first saying has a special sense in Italy because of our prime minister Berlusconi, who was prescripted for false statements during an oath in a trial. By the way, in his family name the ending "oni" is a plural augmentative, while "berlusco" comes from "bis-losco" (disused word), which means "two-times dishonest" (really!). I can't guess why his family got that name... FV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
