It’s normal for fans to ask for a male celebrity’s exact height. But not everyone cares about how tall Nicole Kidman is, though she is nearly six feet tall which was obvious next to much shorter ex-husband Tom Cruise.
There are many others too, like Gwendoline Christie for instance, who definitely towers on screen regardless of her role. Go through this list and see who else is much taller than people realize.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has given different answers as to her height over the years. But the famous singer singer stands at around the 5′ 11′ mark, and that’s without high heels.
Nicole Kidman
The Australian beauty was once married to 5’7″ Tom Cruise, and when they split, she said, “I can wear heels again!”
The Academy Award winning actress is 5′ 10.5” and she is still taller than current husband Keith Urban.
Michelle Obama
The former first lady’s husband, former President Barrack Obama, is over six feet tall. Mrs. Obama stands at 5′ 11” and she confessed on the Jimmy Kimmel show that her height makes it difficult to be inconspicuous.
Must have been a tough job for security.
Uma Thurman
The Kill Bill bride, and once Poison Ivy, is just a little under six feet tall. Thurman stands at 5′ 11.25” which was obvious in most of her films since directors loved taking full body shots of her.
Allison Janney
The West Wing actress is six feet tall but she jokingly refers to her height as 5’12”.
But her frame is obvious on the show.
Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver’s 5′ 11” frame helped make her a cool female protagonist in Alien. The actress claims that she “lost a lot of roles because of [her] height.”
A shame but nerds all over the world adore her anyway.
Brooke Shields
Nothing did come in between Brooke and her Calvins back in the 1980s, not even her six-foot frame which is still impressive today.
And she does wear heels from time to time so add another few inches to that number.
Gwendoline Christie
Christie’s height served her well. It was an advantage to take the role of Brienne of Tarth, a noble warrior on Game of Thrones who could stand with even the best of the male knights. The British actress stands at a towering 6′ 3”.
Aisha Tyler
The comedian, actress, and talk show host stands at an even six feet tall, and that’s without high heels, which she often rocks when there’s an event.
Tilda Swinton
The We Need to Talk About Kevin actress revealed on her resume that she is 5′ 11”.
It may not be as obvious in her films but Swinton really is that tall.
Famke Janssen
Janssen was a terrifying and believable powerful mutant in the X-Men series thanks, in part, to her height. The Dutch actress comes in at six feet tall, and in Jean Grey’s red outfit, she looked even more powerful.
Jane Lynch
Glee actress Jane Lynch is tall and definitely hilarious at an even six feet tall.
You can find her making appearances in many other shows where she continues to spread laughs.
Geena Davis
The Thelma & Louise actress grew up with self-esteem issues because of her height. But it seemed to have worked out for the better. She stands at six feet tall.
Kristen Johnston
Emmy Award winning actress Kristen Johnston towered over most of her 3rd Rock from the Sun co-stars with her 6’0″ frame.
It’s a frame that went well with her dazzling smile.
Brigitte Nielsen
Many fans will remember the Danish actress and model from her days when she towered over husband Sylvester Stallone in the 1980s. The Rocky IV actress is 6′ 1”, and even then, you could see she had the legs for it.
