Elizabeth Debicki, I see. Didn’t realize how tall she really was until Tenet.

[@DamanKingBear]

[@GibbsVSTony]

I was at the world premiere of The Night Manager and when I saw her on the stage I was like "Wait.. whaaaat???" O.o I mean I'm 5'3 ...

[@WiseAilbhean]

That scene in Tenet when she was trapped in the speeding car, her long legs reaching for the door locks 😂 I said perfect casting

Didn't know that Adele is tall. Her tall height really surprised me the most. Adele is a very talented singer- songwriter. It also suprises me that Shawn Mendez, Jojo and Post Malone are all very tall music celebs. Taylor Swift is also very tall. And she's a good singer and songwriter.

[@pratyushpavansaikia8161]

Idris, Shawn and Ross didn't actually surprised me. They look tall

[@minhquanle5209]

Elizabeth Debicki deserves a higher rank on this list, given that she is taller than the majority of women in the world. It is more common to find men above 190.5cm (6 feet 3). In the United States, the average height for men is approx 176cm and the average height for women is 162cm. The great difference between the average heights ( roughly 14cm) shows that the chances of finding women of Elizabeth Debicki's height (or greater) is lower than that of finding men of the same height. This makes her stand out more and so she should have been ranked first or second (at least) on this list.

[@TheAliAzhar]

It's hard to believe Elizabeth is tall I don't know why.

[@jacksonsay37]

It's not just actors and singers who are tall, but authors too. Roald Dahl and Michael Crichton were 6'6" and 6'9" respectively.

[@heymistercarter.]

Surprised Karen Gillan and Sigourney Weaver aren’t on here. Both are at or around 5’11” in height. In fact, Weaver stated that she used to be turned down for roles early in her career due to her height.

[@henrymathews3671]

Sam smith is actually 6”3 so I think they should’ve been added

[@kalakings3358]

At 6 foot tall it’s great to see other tall women! And men.

[@anamelesspasserby]

Why is Gwendoline Christie missing from this list?

[@tranquil_tajweed]

I guess because it’s not surprising? I mean everyone knew she’s massive on GOT

[@TheConorsmithusa]

was thinking that too

[@geviesanta3631]

I didn't even know that Adele is 5"9 tall

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

At 6’2” I was in heaven when I met my 6’5” late husband. So yeah.... got tired of guys not wanting to date me because they felt intimidated.

[@wilbeugre]

Tbh, Shawn Mendes being that tall shouldn't be a surprise For reference, you should watch him on the Victoria's secret show: he was taller that all of the models (who aren't short and had their heels on)

[@zex450]

That's either because he was wearing thick footwear, or the tall models aren't as tall as listed. Because Shawn is actually 6'1. He's not as tall as he claims nor what's listed on this list. Real 6'2 and 6'3 people tower him over.

[@throughthelookingglass5973]

I was surprised to learn that Jennifer Lawrence is 5 ft 9 in. In addition, when KZbinrs Rhett and Link invite guests to their show, I'm always shocked at how much taller and bulkier they are in comparison to their guests. In fact, some of the guys look like twigs in comparison to them. Rhett McLaughlin is almost 6 ft 7 in, while Charles Lincoln "Link" Neal III is 6 feet tall.

[@Camillakittycat55]

Mandy Moore the voice actor who played Rapunzel from Tangled her height surprise me!😯 I didn't know she was that tall she is taller then me. I am only 5"4 while she is 5"10.

[@andyhandy9977]

My friend got rejected for a extra role many times .because he is quiet short ..height is a huge thing in movies even. For extras

[@allieniner675]

What about Kate Walsh? She’s 1.78cms (only 2cm taller than myself)! Every time I rewatch Private Practice, Greys or 13 Reasons Why I’m always shocked at just how tall she is! 🥰

[@malakcanvas]

Not surprised with adele tho. She looks it. Same with Idris. Didn't know Mandy Moore is tall tho.

[@lindildeev5721]

For Adele, I'm not really surprised because there's always a relation beetween height and voice : sopranos and tenors are mostly short while altos and basses will be pretty tall. It's normal for Adele to be that tall with this great mezzo-soprano voice. Another example was Sir Christopher Lee : a giant with a splendid bass voice.

[@limjingyee]

My ex was 6’6 and i didn’t really see him as “that” tall. I’m 5’5 so he was a lot taller but for some reason he just didn’t seem tall to me idk why lol

What about Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki? They are tall

[@Mos41f]

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift should be on this list.

[@user-vp4qq4it7i]

@@tranquil_tajweed no. The government dropped the ball on that one, and we were never taught the metric system. Some of us, as individuals, are more familiar with it, however. We are not self centered, but if everything you see is in Imperial units, that's what you use.

Rihanna should be on here. She’s at least 5’10. I saw her in person years ago

She’s 5’8, so maybe she was wearing heels?

[@jadepixie2719]

I believe Rihanna is in fact 5’8 or 5’8 in half because she looks like my size and I’m 5’9. Rihanna has long legs, long arms and long hands and that is very commonly seen in a lot of tall women. I that for a fact.

I'm 6'1" and have been since I was 14 or so in the 1970's. But back in the 1990's I hung around with a couple of guys in a town pub. The younger of whom was 6'6" and the older one 6'9" It was the one and only period of my life that I felt like a little dude in a group of people. lol

[@jadepixie2719]

Celine Dion doesn’t count because she’s in the average height range. As 5’7 is the tallest of the average female height range as the females height range stands between 5’4-5’7 (but of course mainly 5’4.)
