A star collapsing into an EH.

Does this clarify things for you?
I am proposing that they are the same. The event horizon has to be of 0 thickness and is stuck in time

now what do you mean by radius ... radius of a sphere or circle?
I agree that it has a radius but ... the radius of a circle not of a sphere , from a distant observer that is.
