English actor, best remembered for his role as Darth Vader in Star Wars. He said “When I played him I was 6ft 7 and 20 stone” although he also said “I’m 6-6” and in 1997 “I’m about 6ft 5 now” citing hip operations as result of losing 2 inches. His own explanation is that “I had a right hip replacement. The head of the femur, the main leg bone, and the acetabulum, the socket, were replaced with artificial parts. But because they are smaller than the natural ones. I lost about one and a half inches of bone in my (left) ankle and had to wear a built up shoe. After another dislocation….has meant my right leg is a couple of inches longer than the left, so I need a greater build-up on the left shoe.”I saw him in August 2008 (age 73) at the Collectormania Glasgow (pic by Malcolm), he does have to wear a built up sneaker on his left foot to compensate. I think he has lost a lot of height in his upper body too.
