The following speaks for itself. GK Chesterton was 6-4 and weighed 286 pounds.
Chesterton: To look at you [GB Shaw], anyone would think a famine had struck England.

Next from a review of the movie Ford v Ferrari.
Christian Bale may be the leading actor of his generation. Not only is he a master of the technical stuff — the shapeshifting, the mimicry — but he also radiates the great intangible of star magnetism. In Ford v Ferrari, as in so many other parts, Bale simply owns the screen, this time as a skinny, snarly English mechanic named Ken Miles who drives in California car races on the side. It turns out Bale can even do a British accent. The man is a wonder.
Bale is British. Of course there’s no demand for it, but I can do a Brooklyn accent.
