Rod Stewart Isn't As Tall As Initially Thought
Rod Stewart
has accidentally confessed he's only 5 feet 2 inches tall. The 62-year-old
singer has always insisted he's an average 5 feet 10 inches but let his real
measurements slip during an interview on a radio station.
Rod, who is engaged to 6'1" model Penny Lancaster, said: "There
are a lot of things about me that people out there don't realize, with one
exception I am definitely not 1.54 metres (just over 5ft) tall. "I get
annoyed when people say, 'There's little Rod Stewart with Penny Lancaster.' That
really gets on my nerves. I am almost 1.56 metres (5 feet 2 inches) tall."
Penny, 36, recently admitted Rod wasn't the tallest of men after revealing their
18-month-old son, Alistair, had inherited her lofty genes. She said:
"Alistair really is a joy. He's above the average height now for his age so
he takes after me."
Despite his lack of height, Rod has never had trouble attracting beauties.
Before meeting Penny, he was previously married to New Zealand model Rachel
Hunter and catwalk beauty Alana Hamilton and has dated model Dee Harrington and
screen icon Britt Ekland.
