Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.

One of the most famous gangsters of all time in the United States, Al Capone was the original "Scarface", who ruled the Chicago crime scene with an iron fist during the Prohibition era.
About Al Capone's Real Height
Al Capone was a big guy – tall and broad.
He would not seem that tall from a modern perspective but he was certainly above average for his time -- when the average height of men in the US was 5’8” or so -- he stood around inches taller.
Many websites on the internet list Al's height anywhere from 5’7” to 5’10”.
Al Capone’s arrest record lists his height as 5 feet 11 inches and weight as 250 lb. (113 kg), but his charge sheet reveals his height as 5’10½” and weight as 255 lb. (116 kg).
We are going with his charge sheet height because it seems just more precise. This makes Al Capone just as tall as someone like Orlando Bloom or Geroge Clooney!

I'm a kind person, I'm kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me, then kindness is not what you'll remember me for.
