A smidgen off topic, but hey, this is "Off Topic" .

Has anyone seen the TiM Burton film, "Big Fish" ?

There's an actor in it who's actually 7' 5" tall . I did feel a bit sorry for him, though, as it looks like he has a lot of problems in adapting to our "tiny world" .

I'm pretty sure he died last year from health problems.

There was a woman in.......China, I think?...who was 7'8". I watched a show about her on Discovery Health. She had a tumor on her pituitary gland which caused her to constantly grow, and she had no uterus or ovaries. I think.

that man that you're talking about (can't remember his name)...was in another movie with Billy Crystal (sp?). I'm pretty sure it was called My Giant, and, I think, was already mentioned once in this thread.

btw.

Oh dear.

I must admit, he didn't look to be in great shape in that film.

It was amazing to watch the "extras" DVD and find out that the incredibly "artificial sounding" deep voice that was used for his "giant" character in the film, was actually his own !

Sorry, back to the topic in hand ......

Sorry, didn't see that before.

Here's a picture of the man in question (Matthew McGrory), alongside Ewan McGregor, for anyone who's curious.

 

[afinalfantasy]

Wasn't he in some horror movie? I think I've seen him in a preview or something

a moment of silence for the true giants... (life can't be easy)

otherwise, I'm 6'3" @ a lean 190 lbs (34" waist). though pants were my major clothing problem 20+ years ago, that's not the issue anymore. shoes are still a challenge. pickings are much better in recent years for mens size 15. ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. still can't find a good pair of dinghy boots (neoprene sailing boots) in a size 15.
