"Larger than life" is an idiomatic expression used to describe someone or something that is exceptionally impressive, extraordinary, or has a bold, commanding presence. It often refers to a person with a larger-than-usual personality, someone who stands out and is memorable, or something that is much bigger or more important than ordinary things.
Examples:
1. Personality: "He has a larger-than-life personality—everyone notices him when he enters the room."
2. Character or Impact: "The actor's portrayal of the villain was so dramatic, it made the character feel larger than life."
3. In a Literal Sense: "The statue was so massive, it was truly larger than life."
The phrase conveys something grand, beyond the usual, and often highlights someone or something with great influence, energy, or scale.
