How Tall is Michael? by Yisraelee on 18 October 2005 11:28am

After watching the Full Circle agin but this time here in Australia and on DVD,I was wondering how tall he is as he was dwarfed but some, but taller than the Japanese!
I have also seen a pic of him with John Cleese, who stands as tall as the Eureka Tower in Melbourne! :D

Another Q. Seeing as he is from Sheffield and on Full Circle Michael was wearing some kind of rugby shirt, does he have any affiliation to the city's rugby league club, the Sheffield Eagles who were only at Wembley in a Challenge Cup Final a few years back?

Cheers

I don't know his statistics but he is much shorter than you would think. I've met him and also sat right behind him at his lecture before for took the podium to speak. His small stature and body type surprised me.

What do mean "his body type" surprised you?

I meant that I was surprised that he was not only just shorter than I expected, but his frame was also small. Shoulders narrow. He still is quite proportional and made quite a presence. A handsome devil, I must admit.

6 FT.? I find that hard to believe.

He's 5' 10 1/2". He mentions this in one of the first books - maybe PtP? - can't remember for sure now.

Next to most of the people he's met in Asia or the Pacific Rim, he's quite tall!

I think he's got a runner's body, which is to say lean and toned but not built up. Because he runs, duh!

He's only about six inches!! But then it depends how big a tv you have!!! ;o) Sorry perhaps a little obvious, the gumby is right he mentioned 5'10" in a book. I think he is the middle heighted python tallest JC, GC, EI, MP, TJ = TG shortest (wow what a geek!)

"He's 5"10 and he eats punks like you for breakfast!"
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one!
However, I have heard on imdb.com that Michael is that height. However, I can imagine he is a lanky guy because like Cori says, he exercises but doesn't build up.
