Leeloo said:Please, if anyone meets him, don't ever say "you look smaller in real life" he HATES that and even made comments about it on the last tour. He also hates "he's so tiny!" and stuff like that, no matter how nice it's put, he is self conscious about his height and always has been so it's best not to make it an issue. Those eyes he's such a beautiful person!

Seriously, I'm 5'4" and there have been alot of times when just a couple of extra inches would have been great when trying to reach something on a high shelf
So my point is, Bono - you're tall to me and like verte76 said, he has a huge heart
and actually, my driver's license says I'm 5'3" , but I'm really 5'3" and 3/4 inches, so I give myself the extra 1/4 inch
Tabby said:I read a story about when Bono said the "f" word and walked out of a party a couple years back because some unnamed model kept making short men jokes. He doesn't think it's funny.

Sue DeNym said:I think if I met Bono, I'd say something like, "You look so handsome in real life!" I wouldn't be inclined to joke about his height. Hey, my dad was only 5'3" and my brother is 5'4"!
mmmBono said:
i'm 5'4" too.
what i would do to be just 2 inches taller....
Sue DeNym said:Neither would anybody who's heard that crap all his/her life. Take it from someone who's been called "four-eyes" since she was eight. I can't blame him for being irritated at "short" jokes.

Moonlit_Angel said:Yeah, that would suck. Luckily, I've escaped any teasing about my height...but I can understand where that would bother some people. Teasing people about their height is so stupid.
faithingrace said:I can vouch that tall people get stupid remarks too. My favorite is "you're a tall one aren't you?" Gee what gave it away?! I don't even know how to respond without being sarcastic, usually it is guys trying to pick up on me. Not the best opening line! Also the fact that everyone thinks that I must play/like basketball. NOOO, I hate that game!!! I guess there are ups and downs on both ends of the height scale.
Bono's shades said:5'6" isn't THAT short. I think Michael J. Fox, Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are all about that height or even shorter. If you don't plan to play basketball for a living, why does it even matter?
Sue DeNym said:Teasing people period is stupid. Especially when it's something they have no control over. I mean, what's Bono supposed to do, stretch himself on a rack?!

I once saw a tall woman (about 5'10") wearing a shirt that said, "No, I don't play basketball. Do you play miniature golf?" (Yes, I complimented her on her shirt!)
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:Without reading the other responses, my take on Bono's size:
When I met him the first time, I was standing on a curb in tennis shoes, and I'm 5'7". He was definitely shorter then. But I think he's roughly my height. As for putting on weight, yes he's larger than his lean PopMart days, but then he was swimming everyday. He's not fat or even pudgy (at least wasn't one year ago). The camera really does add 10 pounds. He's more of what I'd call solid. He's not thin, just small boned and evenly built. His chest is the most solid. He doesn't have a beer gut or anything. But overall, he is small, at least compared to the well-built Dutch men I'm used to

My husband has two brothers and we have a brother-in-law that I bet you are all in the Bono height range. So, I'm use to short men. My three brothers, on the other hand, are all over 6'3"

And, frankly, I usually like them the best, somehow. They usually make up in personality what they lack in height.
