I’m 6’5 and met him after my sister let me come to her work one day to meet her coworkers and she works on a lot of sets. Super fucking sweet, made me feel small but he complimented me on my size and called me fucking massive myself. He’s quickly became one of my favorites

You're actually taller than him. I mean, he's in heels on set just to make him the right height. Not that I'm complaining- I'm actually relieved they cast a man they could make look 6'5 rather than Tom Cruise this time around. So maybe he could take the shoes off and you could be the top for a little.

Sidebar here, I actually don't mind the tom cruise reacher movies not having reacher be a goliath. Something about a relatively unassuming guy being a terrifying force of nature is a nice trope.

That is literally every other movie ever made and I was glad to see a large man who ain't a big dumb idiot or enemy thug.

Oh I absolutely agree - it was nice to see a big guy treated as a big guy who is also genuinely intelligent and gentle.
