    • I am finally happy to see that someone agrees with me about the color of his eyes. Everyone says blue but I say no. His eyes look different colors according to the light and angle of the photo or live camera view. I always said a grayish/blue but more on the gray side. Did you know him personally to be sure of that? Thanks for your input!

  2. I totally agree with every word of the above contributor. Respect is definitely due to Tom Jones, especially Ms. Evans’ comments about his exceedingly long marriage for someone in the entertainment field and your obligation to recognize that Jones is a widower by virtue of his wife’s death.

  3. You stupid cunts. No one on earth is 1.77 metres tall. If you can’t answer a simple question then don’t say anything at all . Clue to your stupidity : Muhammed Ali was 6’3″ tall. There, now all the world knows how tall he was.
