Lee always looked taller posing alone because he was blessed with the longer torso, head, and neck, that could be on a guy 5' 8-9" Notice the long 8 pack abs he sports. This was a double blessing because to be 5'4" meant the legs and calves were shorter, which meant they could look and fill out easier. When I mean easier is, they would always give the illusion that they were even bigger than they were.
