Although there is nothing worth "digging into" about Rishi Sunak, his growth and working life can really be described as step-by-step, compared to Boris Johnson, who has an uncertain number of children, and Elizabeth Truss, who was very aggressive in his youth, he is really plain enough. But because he is a second-generation Indian immigrant and also believes in Hinduism, the new British prime minister, who is 42 years old, is very special.
Another feature of him has also attracted attention, and the Daily Mail published a special article on October 25 local time to explore the height of the new prime minister.
Sunak is 5 feet 6 inches (about 1.67 meters), which is not a dominant height among adult men, and looking back at British politics, there is only one prime minister shorter than Sunak so far, Winston Churchill, who is 5 feet 5 inches (about 1.65 meters). The difference of about 2 centimeters is really not much worse.
Among the male prime ministers before Sunak, all of them are not low in height, David Cameron and Tony Blair are 6 feet (about 1.83 meters) tall. Johnson, whose hair is always matted and matted, is slightly inferior, but also 5 feet 8 inches (about 1.73 meters).
The newspaper then gave a set of figures saying that Sunak had joined the "5-foot-7-inch club" because several well-known European leaders now have no significant advantage in height.
For example, French President Emmanuel Macron, 44, is 5 feet 7 inches (about 1.7 meters) tall, while Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, the same age as Macron, is as tall as Sunak.
In addition, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is as tall as Churchill, 1.65 meters.
In this way, when the G7 meeting is held, Sunak will not have too strong a "sense of oppression".
But jumping out of Europe to North America, the leader's height is on the rise, 79-year-old Joe Biden is 5 feet 10 inches (about 1.78 meters), and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is 6 feet 1 inch (about 1.85 meters).
Of course, this number would be even more surprising if Donald Trump continued to live in Washington, D.C., he is 1.9 meters tall, and the family is full of long legs, and the 14-year-old son Barron has reached 2 meters.
For the height content of the newspaper, the reaction of many readers is that it is good to watch the excitement, as long as Sunak can do a good job of the economy, it does not matter how tall or short he is.
However, some people also found one thing, that is, on the 25th, when Sunak went to meet Charles III, there was no gap in the height of the two people, but according to "official" data, the 73-year-old British king is 5 feet 10 inches tall, nearly 1.8 meters, which is similar to Biden, and even if he is older and has shrunk in height, he will not be 10 centimeters shorter at once.
So netizens began to guess the reason, some people think that Charles' height data is inaccurate, others think it may be a problem with the angle of the photo, and some people speculate whether Sunak is wearing an inner height.
Although height is the focus, some people focus on the conversation between the two people, and pretend to be Charles: "We are all new, but I waited for my predecessor for 70 years, and you only waited a few weeks", "But you are much younger and richer than me".
