Built like Jacques Cousteau

When I went back home in France from Ireland, with my young son to introduce him to all my friends and family, everyone looked at him and say "Il est costaud dis donc" (meaning he's well built, because he was taller than average). His father hardly speaks French but enjoyed listening to everyone. After a few days, he asked me why all my friends and family were comparing our lovely boy to Jacques Cousteau!
