Hollywood film stars typically seem bigger than life. And whereas some might not be fairly as massive in actual life as they might seem on the display, at six foot two inches tall, Will Smith isn’t a small man. Or at the least, he’s not normally a small man. I imply, once you sometimes cling round Shaquille O’Neal, everyone goes to really feel brief.
Will Smith lately shared a Throwback Thursday picture to Instagram from the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards. It exhibits Smith and Shaq facet by facet, and in case you didn’t know that Shaq was seven toes tall, you’d definitely suppose Smith was loads shorter than he seems in films. Alongside the pic the Oscar winner stated…
Hollywood actors are available in all styles and sizes after all, however numerous methods are sometimes employed to make film stars look taller than they’re, simply ask Kevin Hart, as a result of making your lead characters look tall normally simply seems higher on movie. However Will Smith most likely isn’t a man who has needed to do a lot of that, as a result of 6’2 is definitely pretty tall. He’s definitely loads taller than Tom Cruise or Michael J. Fox.
However then Shaq is simply an enormous man. He is taller than {most professional} wrestlers, which can be why Shaq and wrestling have at all times held shut ties. Even amongst NBA gamers, the place being tall is mainly required, Shaq is abnormally tall. Not solely that, he is not simply tall, he is massive, although Shaq has been engaged on shedding weight lately. It’s a part of what made him such a strong drive in basketball and a part of what has made Shaq a significant popular culture drive, not merely a sports activities star. At a sure level you simply kind of should be a better-than-average basketball participant once you’re at all times the tallest man on the court docket.
As someone who’s considerably shorter than Will Smith, and Tom Cruise for that matter, I’m used to everyone else being taller, however I suppose I can see how it will be wild for use to being fairly tall, after which hanging out with Shaq and realizing that he doesn’t suppose you’re all that tall. I am unable to even think about what it will be like for someone practically two toes shorter than Shaq to face subsequent to him. At 7’1 Shaq is sort of a full foot taller than Smith and within the image, it exhibits.
Smith might not be standing completely tall on this image, which doubtless makes the peak distinction even higher, however even when he was at full consideration it will be clear simply how tall Shaq is. Possibly Will Smith ought to simply make a degree to hang around with shorter individuals if he would not like feeling so small. I am free.
