I don't only ask that because of his height but also because of the shape of his face, features and his broadness. Saying that I still think he's quite an attractive man.

I once knew a guy who stood 6'6" in my huge office building. You could see him a long ways away in the crowds that walked the long, large hallways. His head and shoulders stood up over the top of the crowd.
More, he looked like a fierce guy. He had an angry, stern, harsh visage on his face that was natural, not affected. When you met him, he was a nice man. He told me that he rarely got into physical altercations while growing up. His size was an effective deterrent to bullies.
This man could have easily played NFL football. Compared to Anthony Robbins, this man was not a medical giant. He was naturally tall so everything on his body was proportionate, that is, even his head looked about the same as you would see on a 6'2" man. This differs from 'medical gigantism', which Anthony Robbins probably has and his imdb bio claims he had an active pituitary gland in youth. A clinical giant is a persona with a bigger 'everything'. You note that Anthony Robbins has a large head, large hands, et al. That is, take a typical 5'10" guy and increase the size and proportions of his entire body and of course, naturally his height will increase as his entire body increases in size.
For trivia, the Bible states that Goliath was a giant. Modern Bible archeologists tend to believe that the historical Goliath of Gath (Garth?) stood 6'6", possibly 6'7". Since the average height of the Israeli tribesman at the time was thought to be between 5'4" and 5'7", Goliath would of course, be seen as a, 'giant'. What we don't know is if Goliath was a natural tall man or a clinical medical giant. Theoretically, a clinical 6'6" giant should be stronger than a natural 6'6" man, because the medical giant is bigger in body physiology all around.
