"Developing a good work ethic is key. Apply yourself at whatever you do, whether you're a janitor or taking your first summer job, because that work ethic will be reflected in everything you do in life."
~ Tyler Perry
Famous actor, Tyler Perry is perhaps best known for creating and playing Madea character -- a tough elderly woman -- who doesn't take sh*t from anyone.
Tyler Perry is also known for being big. In the movie Witness Protection movie, Madea calls herself 6'2" though Tyler Perry seems to be even bigger.
Tyler has claimed to be 6-feet-6 inches tall many times. But from what we have seen of him, we think the only way he would touch the 6'6" mark in some really good cowboy boots -- but not otherwise.
To us, Tyler looks anywhere from 6'4" to 6'5" tall, like with Barack Obama (6'1"), Will Smith (6'2"), Ben Affleck (6'2½"), etc.
That's why Madea gets 6'4½ from us.
The real height of Tyler Perry is
6'4½" or 194 cm
