Beat me to it :). His weight and height should be out soon if anyone wants to make bets.

6'3" 215lbs was reported. I don't believe that for a second.

It’s self reported. They released it before he entered the building

[–] Shhalahr@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the hell? Why provide those details at all if you aren't going to make sure they're accurate?

[–] mookulator@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

He probably has lawyers fighting literally every step

[–] metaltoilet@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Oh that's such BS. They let him self report.

Well his hands are pretty small...

97kg for international guys.

I'm not skinny, but I'm 173cm (17cm shorter than him), and only marginally less than that (and I'm definitely in better shape).

It is the dumbest thing to lie about honestly. Apparently he told them a week ago he was 240pounds/108kg (which seems more accurate)

Seeing him last night on the television, he did look like he's dropped a bit of weight recently.

Still, there's no way he has lost 11kg in the past week, that he's 97kg now, or that he was ever 190cm.
