Neither have I, Leighton, but I’m going to buy myself a copy ASAP. Blue Velvet is on the box later this week, which saves me fumbling around for my copy. Dennis Hopper is really freaky in that film. What an incredible array of characters he played!

I haven't watched Eraserhead yet

In a way, Leighton, he does come over as that much taller BECAUSE THAT HUGE SHOCK OF HAIR has been deep rooted in many of our minds! It’s high time I see Blue Velvet again; I haven’t seen it so much as once since I’ve been coming to Celebheights, and I’m into my 63rd month now. It doesn’t sound as long as being into my 6th year though, funnily enough……. 🤔

Seeing Jack in Wild At Heart will give a more accurate idea of the guy’s height as well.

Remember watching Eraserhead when I was in my teens, it was quite a movie!

@ Leighton Tang - Have you seen Eraserhead, mate?

I was kinda expecting a 5'7 claim, but 5'8 is quite a big one! From what I've seen, I'd say definitely nothing over this.

5'8? I wonder what made him claim to be such a tall height. I would like to see him claim 5'8 in front of Big Rob.

What a famous picture this is! (Not the above one but the one in which Jack’s hair looks like he’s been electrocuted!)
Now I really MUST see Eraserhead…..

Oh no - I have just noticed that Jack is no longer with us. How sad; he died at just 53.

Here are his dates:-

21st December, 1943 - 30th December, 1996.

RIP Jack 🥲💐🕯 XXX

I see that David Lynch has every confidence in the acting ability of Jack! 👌🏼😁
