I’m sorry, what? HOW big are these politicians anyway?

The Russian president, the British prime minister – what do you value so much? Got big? Or small? And how tall is Biden? Or Makron? Cassis?

Let’s take Rishi Sunak as an example: he has just taken office, the new British Prime Minister, and has thus escaped the scrutiny of world public opinion. But everyone is still amazed at…well, how great (or not) the British Prime Minister is.

What do you value?

And? Bigger…or smaller than expected?

Well, politicians are usually only known for press photos that show them in a formal, staged environment. In such pictures, they are often on a podium, behind lecterns, etc., and the cameraman shoots from bottom to top, which generally makes people appear taller. Logically.

As banal as the question may seem, when he took office last fall, the Google questions “Rishi Sunak height” skyrocketed — ahem. The tenor: “Boahhh it’s crazy how small it is!”

OK, 1.70 meters isn’t exactly big. Smaller than, for example, the British or Swiss average. For comparison:
