Thank you! Now I know his shoe size!! Its been driving me crazy. Im 5’5″ I figured he was about a size 9.5 or a 10
We wished he would have a bigger shoe size
He does not have a 41 inch chest and 14 inch biceps, no way. He has no muscle on his chest, I’d say about 36 for a guy that size. Look at guys with 41 inch chest, they are much larger. And by the way, hes about 5-2 to 5-3 inches tall.
WOW Peter is your name then why Bruno mars I mean y can’t u just be Peter? HA, Peter, Peter pumpkin eater
Don’t care about him changing his name, he is an immensely talented artist. Hope he is around for a long time. Few compare to the range he is capable of.
Hey Everybody,
Who the hell cares about his height, weight, chest & bicep size.
My younger brother from the islands, just like me, is a great singer, dancer, and entertainer, and that’s all that should matter.
A whole lot of heart & soul, and dance moves up the bu-tocks.
Get Down “Bruno”, and thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
Aloha Nui Loa,
Jimmy D.
Really did you just say that you and your brother are the only things that should matter. Yeah No.
I just wanted to know if I could beat him up, I didn’t care about his biceps
Handsome and a great talent
