watching pr on cable, and i never noticed how scenes with prince are framed that he looks as big as everybody else in the scenes.nobody really towers over him, except maybe brownmark. a lot of his shots are waist up. was this on purpose or just coincidence?

Hollywood tends to shoot shorter people in ways that eliminate height difference with other cast members. Perfect example of this is Tom Cruise.

Yes.

If he's in control of the filming (music videos, movies, etc), he always looks taller than his actual height. Along with clever camera angles, he wears lengthening clothes, has short female co-stars, and stands far in front of (or away from) taller band members to make the illusion work.

A lot of actors and musicians are very small. And you usually don't see this in their movies or music videos. Tom Cuise is a good example, or Madonna, Kylie Minogue, etc....

I have came to the subtle conclusion you all have too much time on your hands

I don't wear a watch.

By the way : Time is a trick. Prince doesn't believe in the CONcept of time.

5'2" without the boots and 5'4" with them on.

You're only as big as you make people believe. I guess he's rather big at least in my eyes

Who gives a shit that man is a musical genius and he's fine too and I him and you know you do too

She not that short! I've met her in person and as she says..."less than 5'1"..."

Madonna isn't 5'8 she is 5'3. For a small guy Prince is still so sexy, so who cares!
