How tall stan laurel

Then they got into a war and won that war when the enemy troops were stung by hornets! Take the time to watch these comedy legends to appreciate TRUE comedy! Editor Rob. When, some months ago, I read here that Ollie was 6ft, I was faintly surprised! That was huge for that era, but I've been slightly fooled into thinking he was a good inch shorter because of the waistline and portliness causing him to look 'ball-like'! I've just given Stan 5ft8, so it makes sense to agree with Ollie's 6ft.

Any more is doubtful in my eyes! Oliver Hardy was one of the true greats, he was nothing like the talentless unfunny Johnny Vegas. Nah generally I can't see Hardy under 6 ft. In Jitterbugs actually he can look near 5 inches taller than Hardy. At times he could seem almost 6'1 actually. With John Wayne he oddly looked 5'11 range though, but I think Wayne had footwear advantage. That is of course to get their relative sizes to the general public roughly on spot, but Hollywood after all can make people look as tall and short as they want.

Eric Stonestreet though does look like a great Hardy. I think though Wayne had footwear advantage. Good grief pause at you know, even 6 ft looks questionable next to Wayne! Wayne looks easily 5 inches taller and it can look near 6 when he's stood up straight. There was one scene in Sons of the Desert in which Laurel was in shoes and Hardy barefoot and he actually looked as low as 5 ft 11 as he looked about 2 inches taller and Laurel would have been about 5 ft 9 in footwear I think.

I'm not sure, but just saying!! Surely not less than six feet IMO. Hardy 6'1" and Laurel 5'8" sounds accurate. They both added an inch to their actual height which is typical of people to do. This is accurate I think. He did generally look about inches shorter than Hardy. Here's a picture with a rather older Laurel next to Charlton Heston and Dana Andrews and he looks more 5'7" but had presumably lost some height.

Click Here. Spot on I think. I got a good look at him yesterday in Sons of the Desert and it's difficult to see him over 5'8" range. The very most I could believe is 5'8.

Generally I think Hardy looked about 4 inches taller. I got a good shot of Laurel and Hardy towards the end of the film, both barefoot and I'd say actually minimum 4 inches, although at times the difference can look nearer 3. Did he ever wear lifts though? Pyckle and Mr. Pryde Short Dr. Paprika Short Dippy Donawho. Stanislaus Laurello Big Boss. Short Toby - the janitor. Short Stanley as Stanley Laurel.
