In photographs and video clips, he stood several inches taller than many adults nearby — a reality underscored when his father introduced him publicly as “my very tall son.”
Some social-media users praised him for his commanding presence, with comments like “The kid’s practically a giant,” or “He has the tallest dad-son combo ever.”
