I would be extremely surprised if someone as big as her weighed as little as 160. She’s very tall and though by no means fat, she isn’t built like an anorexic model. I have no way to know for sure of course.
That does surprise me. I never thought of him as being that tall. I somehow got the impression from the Wolverine movie that Liev Schrieber was much taller than him but I just looked up some off set pictures of the two of them and Liev looks about an inch taller. Liev always seems to be a more imposing presence than Jackman.
Another entry into “well-built, but I thought he was taller”: Adewale Akkinuoye-Agbaje. According to IMDB, he’s “only” 6’2".
(Also, he’s another example who didn’t come from sports; he was a model at one point, however.)
I agree; 160 pounds would be fairly slender for a person of that height – of either sex. She’s long-legged, but also broad-shouldered and fairly muscular.
He was fantastic as Dredger in the “Sherlock Holmes” movie a few years ago. “Cour petit lapin, cour.”
Also not all that tall but able to play bigger: 6’2", 248 pound Alex Karras.
I see nobody’s mentioned 6’5" Michael Clarke Duncan yet.
I’ve seen online estimates for her up to 185 lbs, which seems much more realistic.
Jared Padalecki of Supernatural is 6’4"
True, but much leaner than a lot of the others mentioned.
He has bulked up recently
He’s also a lawyer. He got into modeling to put himself through college.
How many of these heights are actually real? I have stood next to Dave Bautista and he is not 6’6. He is probably closer to 6’2.
Hadn’t seen celebheights.com before … the aggregated comments therein broadly support your estimate.
We know Andre the Giant as being on the heavy side, but it wasn’t always that way.
Chuck Connors (The Riflemen) was 6’6". Looked pretty lean and athletic too.
While Jackman is taller than Wolverine (heck, every big name actor except Tom Cruise and Peter Dinklage is taller than Wolverine…), the movies did their best to keep Sabretooth looking much larger than Wolvie, both with Schrieber and with that-other-guy I can’t be arsed to look up right now. It’s isn’t just a matter of imposing presence.
Jackman is actually very thin by nature. I saw him a few years back doing a one-man song and dance show on Broadway, and he was flat out scrawny.
He made a lot of jokes about that fact. He said he’s naturally slim, and when he does a lot of dancing, he sheds weight like crazy. He drives Marvel nuts when he does that, because they’re afraid he’ll look too svelte to play Wolverine.
I think that’s the reason he FINALLY ditched the role. To him, it was a major nuisance spending months eating egg whites and working out to put on muscle.
Similarly (though probably not as extremely), Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans have to bulk up when they’re filming as Thor and Captain America, respectively.
