How tall is Mat Fraser

Actually it’s Mat with one ‘t’ and he was born in January 1960. His Mum will have been - quite obviously - given thalidomide in 1959.

Mat shares his birthday with Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood - the 28th January, making him an Aquarian. ♒️

I can’t wait to watch AHS Freak Show soon. Matt’s performance is so impressive. I guess he was born in the 50s, when there were quite a few babies born suffering from the thalidomide after effects. There was a school near to where I live with children in wheelchairs whose legs had been impaired as a result of the drug, given to their Mums during pregnancy.

Look how far Matt got though! What an incredible inspiration he is.

He looks a very reasonable 5ft11.5, has a nice voice and is an excellent actor.

I can see Mat waking up measuring over 6ft. He has such presence in American Horror Story, and I took to him straight away.

5ft11.5 😁👌

What a STAR! He's a musician too! XXXX

I just found out that Mat Fraser turned 58 on January the 28th. As with Amazon Eve, I specially had to look for it, but now we know his Birthday! 😉

5ft11.5

This brave boy just volunteered to be tied to angry Elsa's wheel and have knives thrown at him, no doubt to avoid anyone else going through the ordeal. What a hero!

No less than 5ft11.5.

When I just heard his English accent, I had the idea of watching 'Sweeney Todd', which displays English London accents at their very best potency!

However, this being 'American Horror Story', my copy of 'Sweeney Todd' will have to take a back seat! This is just TOO GOOD!

I can agree with the brilliant Mat being 5ft11.5.

Watch this guys and girls. This is fantastic! 😁👍

@ Rob - So it was in the LATE Fifties? Thanks for that. That makes all the more sense that I should still have seen them as children. There were quite a few round my area, so there might have been a home for them nearby. They were always being supervised, and you'd see lots of them together.

@ Connor - It's good to talk about things like this in a matter-of-fact way, as I'm sure you'll agree. Today's youngsters, like you and the many who flock to this site worried about their height, should be educated about this and the various 'deformities' that have affected people over the years, for the most surprising of reasons. This, the drug thalidomide, trumped them all.

Anyway, Connor, it's nice to see you writing on Celebheights and I wish you a very enjoyable weekend!

Cheers, Sandy xxx 😁👍

I've never heard of thalidomide Rob, so thats why his arms are so short bless him.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 14/Jun/19
@ Junior Hernandez - Yes, there were unfortunate victims of thalidomide whose legs and arms were affected. I used to see them being pushed around in wheelchairs when I was a child. I asked my Mum about them and she just said "They're thalidomide children."

It wasn't until much later that I found out that their condition was the result of a PRESCRIPTION drug, giving rise to many innocent victims.

Some people were born thalidomide have both arms and legs affect. I guess he could still consider lucky to have normal long legs and standing tall over 5'11 1/2.

It is sad to hear that Mat suffered the effects of the dreadful thalidomide drug, which was prescribed to some pregnant women, I believe, in the 50's, and possibly earlier.

It is today used to treat certain cancers and leprosy.

Isn't it all the more commendable that Mat still became an actor, despite this 'handicap'? I suspected this to be the case when I saw him pictured without the tattoos he sports in AHS 'Freak Show'. What a guy! 😉👍🏆

He's got some very short arms Rob, Id say 5'11.5 is fair for him.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 10/Jun/19
Oh thank you Rob! Thank you! I love this handsome fellow, who plays Paul in AHS 'Freak Show', Season Four.

And at 5ft11.5, he is TALL. When I saw that the girl who played his girlfriend is 5ft7, I kind of figured that!

What a wonderful addition to welcome Mat Fraser along! HOORAY! 😁💐🎉
