I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. There was a dish called Mother and Child Reunion. It's chicken and eggs. And I said I gotta use that one.
American musician, singer, and songwriter, Paul Simon is one of the most acclaimed songwriters in popular music.
About Paul Simon's Real Height
Everyone knows that Paul Simon is short but how short exactly? Well, an old Playboy interview described Paul Simon as 5 feet 5 inches tall.
Though, most of the newspapers listed his height as 5 feet 3 inches instead and reported that Paul Simon has been obsessed with his short stature all his life. From what we have seen of Paul, we think his height did look closer to 5'3" rather than 5'5".
It seems fate has played a cruel joke on Paul Simon because now in his 80s he looks even shorter than he used to be. Height loss happens with aging mainly due to compression, dehydration, and curvature of the spine. Though, short people like Paul don't lose as much height as taller ones.
Anyway, short people shouldn’t take their height so seriously because there are many benefits to being short, and only one benefit of being tall --reaching up to shelves.
The height of Paul Simon in his prime was
5 ft 2½ in (159 cm)
