Hi Warren
We mention ‘Slim’ to someone who is normal weight, ‘Average’ to those ones who are a little overweight, and ‘Large’ are those who are obese/highly overweight.
Ah. When I think of slim I think of skinny
Wouldn’t someone that height and that weight be considered average? Probably when he was younger he was slim. I’d say maybe 160-170 pounds when he was a younger man. And as he got to be a bit older he got a bit heavier. And as he got even older he got even heavier.
He wasn’t skinny and underweight.
His build was average not slim. If he was slim he would be 190.5 cm and about 65 kg

I remember watching him in a movie and he was 6’3″ (190.5 cm) and 84 kg (185 pounds) in weight. According to a 1997 report he was 75 inches and 84 kg.
Here is the statement: “The stats say 190.5 cm.” He averaged under 6’4″ and above 6’2″. Clearly 6’3″ and 84 kg (185 pounds) His weight should clearly be updated.

• Height: 6’3″
