John Boyega and Temuera Morrison: Discuss

[beatrice_otter]

For Reasons (yes, I am actually working on the next chapter of Past Lives) I need to know the relative body types of John Boyega and Temuera Morrison.  As far as I know, they've never been photographed together, but here are two pictures of them:

   

Now, it's hard to tell, but John Boyega is two centimeters taller.  But aside from that, how do their body types compare?  Do they have the same proportion of body to legs?  Whose feet are bigger, and by how much?  What about their hands?

I can't be anything like sure, but I think Boyega is slimmer, with larger feet.

[beatrice_otter]

Slimmer, I definitely agree, but I'm not sure about the feet. (This would be easier if I could have found a picture of the two of them together.)

Ah, well, I suppose that if I can't figure it out, it's not like anybody can say I'm wrong with whatever I say ...

agreed. And I think Boyega’s legs are proportionally longer to his body — he’s one of those long-legged people that I can only envy from atop my stubby little legs. He also has a curve at the small of his back that makes his butt stick out a bit — so from certain angles his butt/legs look a bit disjointed from his upper body, and his torso comes down in an arc in front. In this photo you can kind of see that (look how far back his hips are, and how his shoulders seem to be slightly in front of them). Morrison doesn’t have that curve in his back, so his hips are tucked more squarely under his shoulders. His arms look longer than Boyega’s proportionally, partly because his legs are proportionally shorter. Like, they might be longer relative to leg length and torso length, but not to height overall.

I think they have similar proportions overall, but Boyega has slender hands with long fingers, while Morrison might have broader shoulders. (Though it's hard to tell, what with angles.)
