No.
It was a good comparison and not because they have a kind of physical similarity but more for the sort of 'big but agile' and actually a kind of encouraging 'unapologetic' attitude about their weight and freely dancing, jumping about and moving enthusiastically.

It is complimentary and was accurate in that sense it was connecting them.

Another good example might be Chubby Checker or The Big Bopper (maybe staying with singer-dancers is a better idea).

I'd have said Chubby Checker and the reason being that Paige was doing some old-skool rock-bebop (sorta, kinda) performance and they have similar builds yet were both 'apologetically' getting their dance on.

Now.. I'm going by faded memory now.. but I actually did think Lenny Henry was known for dancing?
Why do I think that?
Maybe because Louis put that in my mind or was one of his things to dance and boogie around to songs and on chat shows??

Whatever happened to him anyways? Is he still doing television?
