They wore custom shoes & boots with Cuban heels. Kiss took the concept to it’s ultimate iteration.
with cuban heels: 5´11
without cuban heels: 5´9
According to Beatles tailor Dougie Millings' detailed measurement notes, John, Paul and George measured at 5'9'' and Ringo at 5'6''. Ringo's chest width was a mere 36''!
Paul has been claiming forever that he is 5'11" and change. I guess he was measuring his height when he had his Beatle boots on.

Or it's not Paul at all..
look at the photos. Paul, John, and George were all the same hieghts in pictures. Till they snuck in a fake....the fake Paul was obviously 2 inches taller than George and John ...After 66.
Actually it's more accurate that the real beatles height was:
Paul 5'9.7
John 5'9.5
George 5'9
Ringo 5'6
If you watch the beatles photos with Tom Jones (5'10) he is taller than Paul McCartney, and towers Ringo.
Eric Clapton (5'9) was the same height as John and George.
They were not short, but they were not 5'11 as you can see.
Well young Paul says here himself at 35 seconds in he's 5 foot 11:
czcams.com/video/j9e6zHA6eOY/video.htmlsi=GSjzAzHX4I-bev1X
People only like to say he's five foot 8 because that is the height the Paul Is Dead people claim he was and that only Faul was Five foot 11. But as we see here young Paul says it too.
And they only say "Faul" is taller because they only get their info ("do their research", lol) from those tinfoil hat sites where they only select the everyday naturally occurring forced perspective photos where he looks much taller than his younger photos (when two or more people are standing side by side but one is standing slightly in front of the others).
This seems about right

Tom jones beefed with Lennon, why are there photos with them together
Also Tom jones is 5’9 and a half and Paul was indeed 5’11 it’s obvious from footage. John was 5’10 and a half and George was 5’10 and ringo was between 5’7 and 5’6
I met Paul McCartney in 2017, I'm 5'10, and he was visibly taller than me, around 5'11/6 foot
@@MusicwithPaolo how did you meet him?
The Beatles main goal was to be taller than Carole King.
Paul gained 2 inches all of a sudden in 66....

I wanted my confirmation name to be Ringo, but the nun said, "He's not a saint." I replied, "He should be." I picked Paul as my confirmation name.
Good choices!
You could have been Yoko Oh No !
Stu never bought a hofner bass 😅 the only one of the beatles who bought it was Paul , it costed 30 pounds , and that bass was stolen from a van that belonged to Paul's crew during the Wings era in 1973.
Augustine , your videos are great
Thank you!!
2:10 Paul once referred George H. for Harrison when talking about the song Now and Then. The boys used to call Sir Martin "The Duke of York" for his posh accent.
Maybe they did call him George H., but strangely this is completely new to me.
Who was "Sir Martin "? You clearly don't know how someone with a Knighthood is addressed. You are no doubt referring to George Martin. When he was knighted he became Sir George Martin, or Sir George to his close friends. NOT "Sir Martin".
@@davidlauder-qi5zv He was talking about what the Beatles called George Martin in the studio. He was knighted long after they broke up.
@@harvey1954 You've misunderstood what I said. @SeltsaebEht said "The boys used to call Sir Martin "The Duke of York "...". I don't dispute that they called him The Duke of York. I know George Martin wasn't knighted until after the Beatles broken up. That's not the point I'm making. @SeltaebEht makes the mistake of thinking that when George Martin WAS subsequently knighted, he was called "Sir Martin". THAT is what is wrong with his statement. My point was that he was wrong about how a knighted person is addressed. When a person is knighted they are called "Sir John Smith", or "Sir John", NOT "Sir Smith".
Linda was so pretty!
As snapfinger said, they all wore “Beatle Boots” as they were known back in the day. Custom to appear around to appear the same height, Ringo being the exception as he was a real shorty at most likely 5’ 5” George was no more than 5’8” John & Paul probably close to 5’10.
See George standing next to the Smothers Brothers in 1968. Or Paul next to Jimmy Fallon. Gravity will shrink an old timer an inch or two
Pro Football/Basketball notoriously “list” their players height/ weight at inflated numbers. Skin tight pegged slacks add to your verticality.
This is not accurate. Ringo was not 5'5"
You're right. Today, the 83 year old Ringo is more like 5'3"
Jimmy Fallon is 6 feet. Paul is slightly shorter at 5'11".
Yup. Jimmy Fallon is 6’. Have a look at McCartney standing next to a 6ft Jimmy Fallon.
I only saw the fence in front of Paul McCartney's residence in St John's Wood on Cavendish Avenue.
There are a whole bunch of different height estimates everywher but I think from alot of pics of them standing side by side., Paul looks to be taller than George and John. John may be slightly taller than George and of course Ringo is the shortest
Great,but the,,in the Beginning,,with Brian,I know,with the record Story,and more,,thank you Augustin,from Ellen, from Germany ✌❤
What about faul mccartney
There are many pictures of the Beatles where George appears to be the tallest.
He was 5 8"
He wore Cuban heels sometimes

Thank you!!
@@agustinkafka25 your're welcome. i'll be sure to check through your vids 😀
If you look at the cover of the US LP, The Beatles Again (name later changed to Hey Jude), the Beatles are standing side-by-side, from their final photo session of August 22, 1969. Looking at their eye levels (because Lennon was wearing a hat), you can see that the three guitarists were about the same height, although Lennon seems to have been slightly taller than McCartney. There are also photos of the four side-by-side with Muhammed Ali in February 1964, as Ali prepared for his Sonny Liston fight. The Tale of the Tape for that fight had Ali at 6'3". Now compare the three guitarists, all about the same height, to Ali, and it's much less than 6'3". I'd say less than 5'11" each.

@@agitatedmongoose / This is a reliable source for McCartney's height, and a good interview.
And yoko visit Dokumenta in Kassel, in the 1970 years,..lg Elli 😍
Dingo Starr in Australia!
John and Paul were same height
Almost the same hight !
It's obvious on various pictures that Brian Epstein was taller than Paul, who himself was definitely never 5'11"" tall. More like 5'9". John and George seemed a bit shorter than Paul and both almost the same height.
I heard that some fans were surprised when they met the Beatles bc they seemed quite a bit shorter than they did in pictures. In that business people lie about just about everything.
Please , what is the best Beatles tour, of different sites ?
If you have time (3 to 6 days) I would do it alone , you can find everything you need in my videos ! I would take the “Beatles homes” tour by the national trust cause they take you inside John and Paul’s childhood homes. If you only have one day you can take the magical mystery tour that takes you to the most iconic Beatles locations in about 2 hours (only getting off the bus 4 or 5 times ), or a taxi tour which goes to more places and you get off everywhere even tho it’s a little bit more expensive. Hope that helps !
@@agustinkafka25 Thanks mate. I want to visit next year. I will try to get Beatles Homes.
@@hisoverlorduponhigh90 you’re welcome :)
The easy answer is of course "taller than Jesus"...
😂😂
Not sure how you're doing your imperial to metric conversions but some of these are way off.
Get a grip ! Even John Lennon said that Paul was 1 inches taller than john. When they met for sure Paul was shorter but he grew and was the taller of the band. John said suddenly Paul grew taller than me and people are Paul haters and denies even his height!

Please compare the height of the original James Paul McCartney who died in 1966
With that of his replacement, Billy Shears (dba Paul McCartney).
Ah, the old "Paul died in 1966" BS. It isn't true. It started out as a joke by a group of American college students in 1969. They 'phoned a Mid-West radio talk show to say they'd heard that Paul had died in a car crash in 1966. Then the myth grew and was embellished, with others joining in the fun, saying they'd heard similar rumours. Trouble is, there is no genuine evidence to support the story. Heresay, yes. Rumour, speculation, myth-making, and downright BS. But no actual proof. And as for Billy Shears, he was a character in the Sargent Pepper album, nothing more. He wasn't a real person. And his part was sung by Ringo Starr, not Paul McCartney. All the so-called album clues were invented. Wake up.
Paul 5ft 10ins, JOHN 5ft 9ins, George 5 ft 7.5ins , Ringo 5ft 7ins.

George is not 5’7 and a half like please
@@Bottled-Soap The Beatles tailor gave these stats.
Yoko was 6ft 6in
Yeah you can clearly see in the pictures 😂
Interesting they are planning to put her a half-foot lower than everyone else. Understandable, but still interesting.
Billy sheers was the tallest not paul.
True

Hamburg,Beatles Platz, U must seeing 🌈Elli✌❤
Thanks Ellen! I've been there recently and I made a video showing all the clubs where the Beatles used to play in Hamburg! I'll upload it soon :)
@@agustinkafka25great, thank U. 🌹🕊Ellen
Jane Story I know,also,as a real Fan 🌹🕊thanks.
I heard John ,Paul, George all 5-11?.....Ringo 5-8 just saying...... excellent video however
Thanks !
You are way off on the height of Mal.
That’s what I found on many different websites! How old do you say he was ?
George Martin did *not* tell them they had to get a new drummer. You ought to know that. smh Dislike.
He wasn’t impressed with Pete best as a drummer tho!
@@agustinkafka25 That's not what you said. You said he told them they needed a new drummer, and that is a patent falsehood. For someone who prides himself on having a Beatles CZcams channel, you appear to be quite ignorant on this part of their history.
The Beatles will always need a new drummer.
