    Is he actually 6’9” or is he 6’9” the way his father is 6’3”? I wouldn’t be surprised if they just tell everyone he’s 6’9” to get him out of it if it comes down to a draft.

      Just looking at the picture in the article, though, shows that he is either quite tall, or his security detail are dwarves.

        Wouldn’t be the first time people in power surround themselves with particular people to make themselves look better.

            Don’t even need to. I’m friends with a 6’7" guy and a 6’9" guy. It’s hard to see the difference until you notice one ducks into rooms and the other doesn’t.

              I’m 6’7" and my hair just brushes the top of the doorway. I’ve hit my head once and it’s been terrifying ever since.
