Rob how tall do you think PM of Albania is. He looks towering with almost everyone he meets.

Could be 6ft 5

163cm?? Outrageous indeed Andrea! I can see how you originally thought her closer to 5'1", but as you say, the more you see her she can even look a bit shorter than 5' at times! She has a massive, fiery personality for somebody so small though, you've got to say, I wouldn't want to argue with her!

She could be a possibile candidate for 5'0.25..

Has to be one of the shortest current world leaders. Shortest of a major nation for sure I'd wager.

Yeah looks short. Her betrayal of the Italian people on the other hand, well, that’s massive.
Andrea said on 20/Sep/23
At last, Rob!!
You should definitely add her 2006 157 claim
Click Here and more recent 158
Click Here , which alone dispel those outrageous 163 listings... despite still being quite optimistic!
If I could've seen those marks as a shoe height in the past, the more I've seen of her, the more I've struggled to see her much over 5' for sure. Around 5' can seem a good shout, although she can definitely look shorter than that too...

Strange how somebody would guess her as tall as 163cm, because even guys like Berlusconi made her look near 5ft.
Arch Stanton said on 20/Sep/23
A nice surprise Rob, thanks for this. Worth adding, she is everywhere I look when I see news online! Exactly what I'd have gone with, she looks too short in flats at times to even be 5'0.5-5'1. There is a clip of her looking barely over 4 ft 11 with Sunak but she didn't have good posture. There are times when she could pass for 5 ft 1-2 when wearing heels, but you can see she's as low as this when in flats. The most I think you could argue is 5'0.5.
