Looking now at New Tricks I reckon that 5ft 8/9 is about right. However in around 87 I walked past Dennis Waterman and Rula Lenska at South Bank and he seemed taller than that at the time I ,(who being about on the same low side of average height myself), would have put him about 5ft 10/11 in any event he certainly had physical presence as did Rula Lenska. james says on 20/Mar/11
Waterman did not wear lifts in the 70's in some vain attempt to be taller, that was just fashion. Go forward to the great series minder 80's,he always wore flat shoes so he had no hang up about his height. He was also consistently 0.5 to 1 inch taller than 5'9" George Cole so go figure. The 5'7" is wrong no disrespect to doorman,could have been standing on lower ground or wearing less heel than you, also checkout pic with George best who was 5'8" footballers heights generally very accurate. My best estimate is 5'8 1/2 to 5'9" if George coles height is slightly inflated Cuban says on 18/Feb/11
Waterman is the governor. He is obviously not a tall man and that's one of the good things about him. I'm no long drink of water either. Anyone who thinks that being 5, 9 is somehow harder and tougher than being 5, 7 is a lunatic. God bless Dennis Waterman. Richard Starkey says on 12/Feb/11
Dennis Waterman is NOT 5ft7- stand on me!! He presented me with player of the year in Lambeth around 1980. I am 5ft9 and he was exactly the same height as me. Unless he wears build-ups? greg says on 14/Jan/11
lil old mr nutkin - why would you say that fella? What the hell is wrong with you? You ain't no doorman. Amanda Redman is on here as 5'7.5 (which looks about right) and Waterman's clearly taller than her. As Terry McCann would say, "Leave it out son"... Jenny says on 8/Jan/11
There is such a thing as cuban heels (about 2 inches high) which lots of actors in the 70s/80s wore. I don't know how tall he is but its possible he wore them lil old mr nutkin says on 14/Nov/10
To Greg and Rudeboy, believe me, I met him at a Leeds United game. He was in the city filming a TV series for Yorkshire Television. Now read this very carefully and stop your guessing and summising for this is FACT!!!
I am 5 feet 7 inches. I met Dennis Waterman in the early 90s. He is shorter than me!!! I know this because I stood next to him chatting. He IS NOT 5 feet 9 inches or anything like that. He is no more than 5 feet 6 inches. I will repeat just in case you are having a problem accepting the truth. I am 5' 7", I met DW, he is shorter than me and is no more than 5' 6". Finally you say he cant be hardman if hes 5' 6", well as I said I'm 5' 7" and work as a doorman.
Now for one last time. I HAVE MET HIM, HE IS SHORTER THAN ME, I AM 5' 7" HE IS THERFORE NO MORE THAN 5' 6". END OF STORY!!! |
