Thunderforge Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Talking of Yul Brynner being short, I’d heard that John Wayne had a 3/4 pint glass made especially to make him look bigger compared to the other actors. It might be hearsay of course! (I’d also heard Brian Blessed had a raised platform in Flash Gordon so he could tower among his hawkmen!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckymucklebackit Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I am utterley flabergasted to realise that I am a full three and a half inches taller than Yul Bryner! Where did this fake news start? OK he is part Russian so there is a clue, however according to IMDB he was a totally normal 5' - 8". Am I missing a joke?

Am I missing a joke? I've no idea how tall Mr Brynner was, but in the bar scene in Westworld he appears to be a good half a head or more shorter than anyone else in shot. I'd never noticed before but it was really quite striking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
