His sword is also shorter than usual...

No, no, no. Don't believe it, and, as we all know, his sword has that
long curve.....

And your "good authority" has a bridge to sell, too?
Sorry, but you're wrong. I'm 5'5'' and he's taller than me.

About six foot. The one you should ask is Carmel, who has had THREE
chances to suss him out real close this year.

LOL. Yeah. Even his own people say he's 6 feet tall, even. I seriously
doubt they would tell people that he's shorter than he actually is.

You are seldom wrong, Jerri, but this time you are. There was no ketchup
on the cold scrambled eggs. I had a hard enough time not retching at the
table as it was.<I'm *not * a morning person and I *don't* do breakfast>
If Adrian had poured ketchup over his eggs... I would have lost it for sure.
Oh... and his eyes are not merely, "Brown eyes." They are a deep dark

asked what colour eyes he has, what he eats etc you could all tell me but for

foot 4 inches to 6 foot 2 inches. Do cowboy boots make that much difference?

His height is <not> a touchy subject. He is 6 feet tall. People have been
posting different heights as a joke. Enough people here have seen the man
in person, stood next to the man, gotten the word from his fan club ... he
is 6 feet tall. In heeled cowboy boots, prob'ly 6' 2".

I believe he used to say that he was 6'2". I've heard 6', and I
think that's probably right. Adrian Paul is simply not that
massive a guy. *Very* nicely muscled and fit, yes, but not
overpoweringly tall or big. Take a look at him in a scene with
Bruce Young, for instance, and you see quite a difference.
Also, Duncan used to wear boots. In the warehouse scene at the
end of The Watchers, when he gets up after recovering from being
shot, you can see that his boots have good-sized heels on them.
Tricks like camera angles that look *up* at him, long, oversized
coats, and, especially in Paris, lots of padding to survive cold
winter shootings in the barge, and just effective *acting* made
him look bigger and heftier than he is. It's kind of like
Valentine Pelka. You don't realize, until you see the Four
Horsemen walking down the hall together in the scene in the sub.
base, how short Valentine is. But he's so imposing an actor that
he can act hefty medieval knights and psycopathic Horsemen and
carry it off quite well.
I believe that in second season, Adrian Paul did gain weight.
And then, between Seasons 5 and 6, he lost a good amount of
weight. It was effective in the series, but in that photo shoot
that he did, I thought he looked alarmingly thin, and I didn't
like those pictures at all.
Someone once dubbed AP "Ol' Skinny-Butt" because of his Masque of
the Red Death tights ;-D. In Season 1, he fit that title, and
again in Season 5.

As green as AP was when he entered the room, he would probably have liked
to skip the whole thing, too. Maybe it was the lighting, but it didn't seem
to affect anyone else. <G>

I saw the eyes up close for the first time in the autograph line, and ...

I was surprised at how big he was in Denver. 6 foot seems right, but in

slender. I had also factored in TV adding the appearance of 15 pounds. In
Denver he was much more heavily muscled then I expected. I actually thought
he looked more muscular in person if anything.

Yeah--that was interesting. It only lasted five or ten minutes, but as
he walked into the room, he did indeed look green. Nobody else did, not
even Abby who loathes breakfast. Maybe it's his normal Sunday-morning
appearance. Abby, does he drink coffee? If so, was that what restored
his normal color?

Looking at S1, and S6, yes, you remember that he *was* quite
slender before Highlander. If you look at his early pictures and
TV appearances, you can see that (remember the "Oh Boy" magazine
cover?).
It could be that he's been working out again, since HL is over
and he's recovered (hopefully) from his owwiebooboos. { :-+
:-+ << kisses for AP's owwiebooboos). At G3, he told us at the
breakfast that he didn't have time to work out at that point (he
was on his way over to Paris to shoot Rev. 6:8). IMO there's
nothing more risky than a guy who's not working out regularly
trying to do strenuous physical things; I've known too many
38-year-old weekend athletes who got hurt.
When he injured his neck (Claire, which ep was that?) and when he
injured his shoulder (Bad day in Bldg. A), he apparently couldn't
work out for a while. And chronic pain tends to be a deterrent
to exercise (I should know!). In the - um - VIBE interview, he
mentioned something about Shaolin monks? being able to move
energy, and in demonstrating, indicated his left shoulder, making
me think he's having trouble still and is working with alternate
healing techniques. He's also said in interviews that it was
time to stop getting hurt (in Highlander). But someone said that
he said that he's starting on some exercise program designed to
do something "long and lean" <THUD>.
Of course, there's always Chi Gung (or whatever)

I think it was the orange juice (with pulp!). He started to look and
apparently
*feel* better after the orange juice. I don't remember if he drank the
coffee
or the tea... he was offered both.
You didn't see my face when one of the servers brought the little boy a big
bowl of eggs and set it down... even one seat away the smell was almost
more than I could take. I was nearly retching and made some comment to
Ann (who was seated to my right) that if The Man walks in now he's going
to see me barfing. Fortunately, the nausea passed and it was still some
time before Adrian entered the room.
The things I go through to see that man... and he doesn't even appreciate
it! ;) ;)

LOL! Did you take a good look at Stan? I understand that he *could* also very
well have had just a touch of that color in his complexion on Sunday morning.....

However after two glasses of juice (with pulp) and a heaped plate of eggs,
potatoes, a banana and a muffin I can't imagine that he could have felt too
bad! I certainly couldn't eat if I was feeling "green". Also, he is
definitely 6 ft and nicely muscled too,as Abby will confirm. Not too many
ounces of fat on that bod- remember I got to touch that body. It felt nice
and tight, what I could feel. (wishing there was more)

Adrian definitely 'bulked up' between seasons 2 and 3. This is very
clear in a scene in Revenge of the Sword when he answers the door with
out his shirt. Those shoulders, arms and chest are *massive* compared to
season one. When I first saw him in Avatar I was actually concered that
he might have been ill, he looked so thin. He had lost weight but the
severity of his hair cut made the planes in his face stand out even more
and I thought he looked *too* thin. As his hair grew out some (and I got
used to his new sveltness <g>) I realized he wasn't *too* thin, he was
just back to the shape he was in during the first season. From the one
picture I've seen of him with his shirt off during G4 (while changing
shirts), it looks like he might have added some muscle since he finished
HL:TS.

They also dance. When he laughs. You can see the laugh in his eyes before
it actually reaches his lips. Those eyes give him away every time.

OK, once and for all...Adrian Paul is every inch of 6 foot tall. I
know. I stood less than 3 feet away from the man. I'm 5'8" in my
socks. We were both in sneakers, and I made it a point to compare my
height to his in relation to the height of my husband, who happens to
be 6'3" in *his* socks. Hubby would be taller, but Adrian is no
slouch by any stretch of the imagination.

things I feared going into the Denver con to get my first glimpse of "the man"
was that I'd find him a shrimp. You see my husband is 6'5" tall (as is my
college age son) and so I am used to nice tall men. Tracy Scoggins famous line
about how Adrian does not disappoint is so true. He is just as beautiful as I
had been led to believe (handsome is an inadequate word in his presence) and I
was relieved to find that though he does not measure up to my husband, [and
after 30+ years of marriage I mean that in all ways] Adrian is indeed tall.
Dorothy aka Rottweiler on the Rysher forum
HolliT64
Dorothy, I agree with this assessment as well. In Anaheim he walked right past
me and he was at least a head taller than me and I am 5'5" and was wearing
shoes with a heel on them.
> He is just as beautiful as I
>had been led to believe (handsome is an inadequate word in his presence)
I also have to agree with this. He is so beautiful. I use this adjective to
describe him all the time and it may seem bizarre considering he is a man, but
handsome is inadequate.

fact that he is at last 6 feet tall. Actually it felt good standing next to
a man who didn't make feel like such a shrimp (I'm 5"5" + some in heels).

I can't resist a comment here. I don't know about a "skinny butt" (it looked

who were telling me he was even more gorgeous in person, but now that I have
had the experience, all I can say is, I believe!!!!
