I once met Ronnie Corbett and couldn't get over how small he was in real life. When I told him this, he told me to fuck off. I was gutted at the time but with hindsight it was a reasonable response from the little fella.

Exceptionally short people or exceptionally tall people rarely need anyone to point it out to them. They're usually pretty fucking aware of the fact as some ignorant cunt or other will tell them several times a day.
Good old Ronnie a master of stand up comedy, with a quick fire repartee.
“Fuck Off !” must have rolled off his tongue, with lightening fast elegance lol
Plot twist, I'm very tall 6ft9in, not very short. The same however applies, you might think it's great being tall, it's really not. Probably no different to being very short, with the added problems of nothing fitting (cars, clothes, seat legroom)
I worked with a guy who said Ronnie Corbett was the 'rudest man ever' 🤭 Now I love a natter but this guy could talk like he breathed thru his ears! 🤭 So, he said on 3rd day of filming he'd walked up to Corbett & wee Ronnie stuck his hand out & said "Stop! Get away from me with yer inane banter!" 😂
nearly everyone I’ve met who is famous on TV has turned out to be tiny. I wonder if all that studio lighting shrinks them? They’re often very orange, too.
I remember in the Post Office a public information poster showing Ronnie Corbett up to his neck in rubbish with the slogan: "Litter isn't much fun / when you're only five foot one." I've always assumed that was his actual height as a result, though maybe it was just made up for the rhyme.

Pretty sure most people would tell you that on a daily basis though.

Either that, or I mention one of their physical characteristics they have no control over.
If they catch me in a good mood, I might just point out how rude it is mentioning it.
