I have seen previews and photos from the new “Weird” Al biopic and, disregarding the crappy curly wig that is supposed to be Al’s hair, in most of the pictures The Good Doctor seems to be a foot to a foot and a half taller than Daniel Radcliffe’s “Weird” Al. Now I realize that this movie is a mock biopic but it started me wondering about how tall Barret Hansen really was, so I did some research and so far I have found absolutely nothing on his height. Help, please?
Weird Al is 6" 0’
Daniel Radcliffe is 5"5’
I met him at a convention a dozen years or so back, when I dressed up as him for the Masquerade. He’s about 5’6" (minus the top hat). I’m 5’10" and he’s a few inches shorter than I am. He was probably 5’8 or so earlier in life, but we all shrink with age.
I resemble him strongly, to the point where over a hundred people thanked me for my radio show and the ConChairs kept trying to make sure I made it to events to host. This despite the fact that I wasn’t wearing a black-colored tuxedo. I passed on the good wishes to the good Doctor.
I’ve got absolutely no problem with the movie, since it is a mock biopic. I was just wondering how tall Mr. Hansen actually is.
When I ran into him in an elevator at a convention, we were eye to eye. I’m 5’7".
How long ago was this? I am also 5’7” and I have a picture taken with him in 2009; I’m at least two inches taller than he is. I was wearing ordinary street shoes; probably either Top-Siders or sneakers.
