`::I believe he was never 6'2`` but about 6'1`` and down to about 6'0`` now. I don't really get the whole ``controversy`` though, especially thinking he's about 5'10`` or whatever. He's obviously got a huge body (and head) which could make him appear shorter, but the thing is there's nothing special or amazing about being 6'0`` or over. It's pretty much the norm in Europe. Heck, I'm half asian and still 6'1``. While many actors do fudge an inch or two, and Arnold may have fudged 1``, it's rare that they'll fudge more than 2``. Otherwise they'll be ``exposed`` too easily.  `
