Jon weighed about 85kg. He was very fit and strong, in spite of his chronic illnesses. He was good enough to make the grade for SAS selection, which very few know. His royal suit of armour for the MacBeth film weighed over 50kg, normal for the time, and his on screen exhaustion during his final fight to the death with MacDuff was very real, as Polanski worked both actors to the bone to make the sequence as real as possible.
