We've also compared them to the average height of statesmen of their country over the last 40 years.Īt 5ft 7ins, Hollande is two inches taller than Sarkozy but also two inches shorter than the average height for French leaders of the past 40 years. It was an opportunity too good to pass up so we compared the heights of various leaders from different countries and eras. Last year we were told stature really does matter according to a scientific paper published in Social Science Quarterly. But how does he compare to the past leaders in terms of height?
