30+ Celebs You Didn’t Know Were So Tall (or So Short)

It is always difficult to get a clear idea of ​​the size of celebrities. After all, TV and photos can interfere with our perception, according to angle, perspective and other factors. Imagine, for example, a famous basketball or volleyball player who looks “short” in front of his teammates. Then, you have the opportunity to meet this athlete in person and discover that he is huge. The setter Bruninho, from volleyball, for example, is one of the smallest of the selection, but he is 1.90 meters tall. Of course, in this case, his perception was influenced by perspective.

Because of this, fans are often unexpectedly surprised at how tall their idols are (extremely tall or frighteningly short) when meeting them in real life. For example, Tom Cruise looks tall in the movies, but he is approximately 1.73 m tall, which is less than the average height of the American male.

the team of awesome.club found information about the height of famous artists and found out who managed to “fool” their audience.

But before that, we wanted to draw your attention to two important facts:

Sites like IMDb and Wikipedia indicate a height greater than reality for actors, as short protagonists are not well seen in action movies. In addition, the height of celebrities is often mentioned according to the data recorded when they were younger. It is also necessary to consider that, from the age of 40 or 50, height decreases, because the intervertebral discs start to harden, decrease and lose their elasticity. So don’t be surprised to find out the real height of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is now 72 years old.

Which of these celebrities looked taller (or shorter) until you found out the truth?
