Is Andy Serkis' Supreme Leader Snoke 25 Feet Tall in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS?

Until last week, we knew next to nothing about Andy Serkis' Supreme Leader Snoke character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The actor recently spoke up and offered a few details about the character, namely that he's an "enigmatic character" who's "strangely vulnerable at the same time as being quite powerful," and he has a "huge agenda."

Now, in a new interview with Empire Magazine, Serkis opened up a bit more about his mysterious bad guy, revealing that his agenda may not be the only "huge" thing about him:

"It was quite an unusual situation. I worked specifically with Domhnall Gleeson and with Adam Driver. My first day was basically standing on a 25-foot podium doing Lord Snoke without the faintest idea what he looked like... or in fact who he was! I was very high up, totally on my own, away from everybody else, but acting with them.
"[Snoke] is severely damaged. Although he's a powerful leader, he comes across as vulnerable. Very scarred and disfigured.
"We used sort of a ‘Kongolizer’ method of having sound come out of speakers to give a sense of scale and distance for the character. So it was very challenging and scary, in fact probably one of my most scary film experiences I’ve ever had."

Wait a second...does this mean that Supreme Leader Snoke is 25 feet tall? When he mentioned being on that podium, I first thought that meant that his character was actually elevated up above the other characters in whatever scene they were playing, but that last part about the "Kongolizer" and having to use speakers to create a sense of scale for the character makes me think that Snoke himself is actually just that massive.

What do you think?
