It's 'glamour' in the original sense. Seriously, though, people always think I'm taller than I am as well. It's something about the way one presents...
It's definitely the presence he has - he seems like he should be 10 feet tall, especially on stage. Even seeing him live on stage, and I was second row the last time - he sure seemed a whole lot taller.

i agree about the presentation ; )
If I am to be truthful, I've lost a quarter-inch myself (most likely when they grafted that bit of cadaver bone into my neck in lieu of a functional disk...). Happens to the best of s, I fear.

S'truth. It's also another aspect of why he can become so 'anonymous' without the glasses...

poor thing you - sounds an awful procedure : (
i suppose that must be a good side to fame "if" you can indeed easily slip into anonymity! although of course the fans would mucho rather him in shades and leather n'est pa!?
