Towering Above The Competition?

In the movie “The Outsiders,” Patrick Swayze was just one of several up-and-coming studs in the cast. He was competing with young actors like Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise, but he found a way to stand out. There’s a famous group publicity photo that you may have seen before, in which Swayze is taller than all the other guys. What you may not have noticed is that Swayze is STANDING ON BRICKS so he’d look taller (you can see it in this picture). In reality, Swayze was only 5-foot-10.
