Oh dear! Lessons in height, cameras and ethnicity.
Notice that Pallo is stepping forward a lot in that picture ___and the illusion of additional 'height' given to the person even a few inches closer to the camera lense is significant.
The Shrimp knows the tricks by now. He did the same with some 'fans' three or four women who had a photo with him and he was still shorter.
Every pic with JoJo is a challenge for him and he tries to lean forward, stand on tip toes when the shot is taken, or stands on something to get higher.
JoJo says he's 5'9" 'on a good day' and Girfty the Dwarf is far shorter. Pallo bends a bit in the first pic but they are essentially side by side.

but the girl just behind him still is much taller and she's bending her knee.

The Asian Americam woman and her child in the pic at the top are probably 5' tall if that.
