Entwistle earned the nickname, "The Ox", not due to his temperament or size, but because of his constitution; he had the reputation of being able to party the most of any of his band mates, even (especially) the legendary Moon. Many found
the broad-shouldered bass-player intimidating, and he was often thought
of as a larger man than he actually was (being about 6 feet even, the
same height as
The Who guitarist
Pete Townshend).
