I did know, don't know how though.

I don't think he stands on a box like jvt though, so I wonder how tall he is.

This won't end well. The last one didn't either.

kimlo · 20/03/2021 12:02

@zaffa Hancocks 5 10 apparently. He looks shorter.

Susie477 · 20/03/2021 12:03

Rishi is tiny. He’s both short, around 5’5 and skinny. His body shape is in proportion, though, and he can afford beautifully tailored Savile Row suits which make him look good.

He does, doesn't he! I think Dominic Raab is probably tall and Chris Whitty is also short. I'm always surprised at the real
Height of people I only see on tv. Like Tom Cruise

They don't call him Dishy Rishi for nothing Grin

I thought he was taller too, but thinking about it, I have a friend who's a similar build and you can't tell in a photograph unless he's with other people. His wife is also petite (as is her whole family). I have a picture from their wedding where I look positively Amazonian!

I also thought Caroline Flack was tall but she was only about 5'2".

At 5'1" myself I am always surprised when other short people manage to have an image that is considerably taller than their actual height. I wish I could do it!

I’m only just 5’2

I always notice people’s heights but some people just look taller or smaller than they are I think they way you hold yourself, your shape/build can add to this

biddybid73 · 20/03/2021 12:53

Five foot 6

Devlesko · 20/03/2021 13:05

@Doggley

Just that really.
I'd have thought about 5ft 5
cerealgamechanger · 20/03/2021 13:24

As short as Preity Patel

SimonJT · 20/03/2021 13:26

Ah, another faux naive thread about Sunaks height to once again press anti Asian sentiment.

Lovely.

You what, what?
KirstenBlest · 20/03/2021 13:38

Not RTFT. I think he's 5'5".

KirstenBlest · 20/03/2021 13:42

I'm another one who thought Caroline Flack was much taller.

Boris Johnson is 5'9", Dominic Raab is about the same, Priti patel is shorter than average at about 5'3.

Here is the other thread. There were quite a few insults and sniggers thrown at short men. Not nice.

PhilCornwall1 · 20/03/2021 14:48

Not looking it up, but isn't he a short arse?

Rosehassometoes · 20/03/2021 14:54

5ft 8

Rosehassometoes · 20/03/2021 14:55

I’m 5ft 10 and men are going french shorter!

Rosehassometoes · 20/03/2021 14:56

often shorter 😂

RedGoldAndGreene · 20/03/2021 14:59

I thought he was tall but saw lots of piss taking of that pic he took with his staff on the stairs. People commenting were teasing how he picked the position that made him seem taller. I assume his shoulders are very narrow or that with his wealth he can afford tailor made suits that make him seem taller on tv and in photos.

Redcrayons · 20/03/2021 15:00

I thought he was 6ft plus till I saw the thread last week. He looks tall and gangly.

I was going to search some celebrity heights and these are the popular searches? 🤣
