just saw him - july 12, 2014 at 9 am


At the united airlines terminal in the JFK airport, NYC. I was the only one staring at him out of all people. Asked him if he'd take a photo. He politely refused and kept walking with his lady friend.

Man, they really made him look so much younger in the Winter Soldier.

I've heard that he's much shorter than what IMDb has him listed at. How tall do you figure he is?

reply

Well, I am 5'10", I figure he was about 5'7-5'8. But he was slouching over like the elderly usually does.

What was his reason for refusing?

reply

The "elderly" don't slouch any more than anyone else, unless suffering from a chronic back problem. And yet, they do lose anywhere from an inch to two, because of spinal compression. Chris Evans is listed as 6'0" and Redford looks about 5'7" at most. But Evans could be wearing shoes that make him appear taller because his character is supposed to be 6'4"!

It just seemed like he did not want to be bothered. He was rather blunt and abrupt but not in an a-hole kind of way.

Hey, people need their space.

You should prepare when you go to a public event to be public. That's when I will sign autographs. But not when you're going about your normal business. - Robert Redford .
