Sophie Dahl: Jamie Cullum and I are treated like a carnival show

She's fed up with people mocking the couple’s height difference

Saturday, 22 March 2008

Sophie Dahl is angry at people who ridicule the height difference between her and fella Jamie Cullum.

At 6ft, Sophie stands 8ins taller than the musician but she feels its no big deal.

‘I have watched with a mixture of bewildered horror and amusement the super-strange reaction to the fact that I am quite a bit taller than my boyfriend,’ she says.

‘The image of us together has been treated like a carnival show.’

Sophie, 31, says height - like skin colour - is something that shouldn't be mocked.

‘If my boyfriend was black, I doubt very much there would have been such a vocal response to our coupling,' she tells the Daily Express, 'because that’s out of bounds.

'What is lost in the sniggering is that we happen to be two people who met and fell madly in love.'

Sophie's absolutely right, how dare people have any judgement, and why should (how could) anything be more important than love? Sophie say they love each other, that would sound more logical to mock those who stay together because they enjoy what people feel about their image... but can't stand each other? Who made the rules anyway, what are they stated on, they look wonderful together, unusual doesn't mean negative to me, never? And even then... who are we to state any judgement... what would emotions have to do with looks? It utterly annoys me.

Jammie Cullum has done really well, it's good that looks dont count and love is bigger then looking weird.
