Hey guys,
I was just browsing some arnold galleries and I came across this very strange pic…
Do you find anything wrong with this picture? Arnold is listed as what 6’2" and Sly is barely 5’8" in shoes!
They’re virtually the same height! WTF? I’ve never seen camera tricks that good…
It looked to me that Sly is the closest to the camera and Arnold is the farthest. Depending on the focal length of the lens the foreshortening effect could make Sly look taller than he is. Fisherman and hunters know all about this for taking trophy shots.
it would only make him look a little bit taller. there is a big difference between 6’2" and 5’8" And sly is probably not even 5’8".
perhaps arnold isn’t 6’2"?? i have heard this before
I’m 6’ in boots. I’ve met with Arnold twice and he’s right at an inch or two taller than me, so I’d say 6’2" is about right.
Guy has a huge noggin though. Skulls like that are usually attached to mountain gorillas.
I’ve also met the man in the flesh and he is 6’2". No doubt about it.
If he is 6’ 2" then why did he appear to be the same height as the President of the United States, whom I have met, and is 5’ 11 3/4"?
I also saw Arnold standing next to Lou Ferrigno, who looked much taller than Arnold.
Could Arnold have worn lifts at certain times during his career?
yea greekdawg i agree…theres a 4 inch difference and they look almost identical in height (sly even looks like he’s not standing straight). if the numbers are right, then that camera trick is amazing.
I’ve also heard that Sly is as short as 5’5", but then again these kinds of speculations is usually bullshit.
lifts where? he poses w/out shoes right?? (BTW we’re talking 6’2" barefoot right?)
I’ve met Sly in real life. He is indeed 5’8" or shorter. The only problem with that assessment is that he ALWAYS wears cowboy boots or “make me taller” shoes. No joke.
"Skulls like that are usually attached to mountain gorillas. "
Hahaha. Good one Chris.
I’ll try something. Look at this pic.
OK I’ve seen both these guys in person, but Arnold from somewhat of a distance and Stallone close up. I’m 5’9" and Stallone gave me the impression of being around my height, but if he was wearing magic shoes, that would imply that he’s a little shorter. Arnold did not give the impression of a giant, but this was at a crowded Planet Hollywood opening, so it is hard to judge.
I’m under the impression that most guys tend to add a little when reporting their… height.
yes but has anyone seen the poolside arnold pics when he looks like a skinny man with a gut. It made me sad.
illbill…give us a linkto that pic
im sure that the ppl’s shoes make up the difference hehe…
yes i’ve seen that pic… i almost cried on the spot.
Also, lets not forget you can order “magic” shoes (lifts) that give you up to 3 inches in hieght.
you know what? Sly does look like hes wearing lifts. if you zoom in (or just looks closely) at the top of his shoe (the top rounded part of the foot, not sure what it is called), it definately seems too high. Yep, looks like lifts. thank god bc if I would have found out ah-nuld is 5’8" my little world would turn upside down!!!
Dammit my second post didn’t fly. Oh well. The sad fact is that Arnold is a human and his state of fitness varies like the rest of us. I’m sure he’ll be 6’2" or so for a while yet, although people do lose a inch or so when they age.
Stallone is actually 4’3" !!
