From swashbuckling action heroes to iconic divas, these statuesque stars are in a league of their own when it comes to vertical advantage. They’ve turned their impressive statures into a superpower, making them unforgettable both on and off screen. So buckle up as we unveil the creme de la creme of Hollywood’s towering talents—35+ extraordinary celebs who stretch the limits at 6 feet and above!
Post Malone 6’2″ (187 cm)
When you’re a 6’2″ rap-rock superstar like Post Malone, height is more than just a number; it’s a lifestyle. Cool as a cucumber, Post confirmed his skyscraping height with a tweet featuring a sunglass emoji, as if being tall wasn’t already cool enough.
But the quirk doesn’t end there. Post enjoys looking even taller by sporting various “man heels”—Cuban-heeled shoes featuring suede, leather, and glitter. If you’ve ever wondered how to be tall and make a statement, take a leaf out of Post Malone’s book.
Jason Momoa, 6’4″ (193 cm)
“Larger Than Life” doesn’t even begin to describe Jason Momoa. You probably know him as the roaring Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones or the ocean-dwelling superhero Aquaman. But what makes him even more of a scene-stealer is his towering height of 6’4″. Placing him next to his wife Lisa Bonet, who measures up at 5’2″, the height difference becomes strikingly evident, almost like a scene out of a fairy tale.
Let’s not forget that his imposing stature has been a career boon—landing him roles that require an actor with physical gravitas. Oh, and about that Game of Thrones audition? Word on the street is that he may have terrified the casting directors. Because, let’s be honest when you’ve got a giant of a man roaring in Dothraki, who wouldn’t be a little shaken?
John Mayer 6’3″ (190.5 cm)
John Mayer is the quintessential heartthrob. With a guitar in hand, dreamy eyes, and a voice that could serenade just about anyone, he’s already a knockout. But what often goes unnoticed is that he’s not just figuratively, but literally, head and shoulders above the rest—at a surprising 6’3″.
He’s even quipped about how people are astonished when they realize he isn’t just “6 feet small,” as he jokingly sings in his song ’83. Quite the opposite, Mr. Mayer; you’re a towering talent in every sense!
Chris Hemsworth 6’3″ (190.5 cm)
The God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth, strikes down onto Earth with a resounding presence—partly because he’s packing a celestial 6’3″ frame. Interestingly, Hemsworth’s Thor character is a slightly taller 6’6″, but who’s counting when you’re wielding Mjolnir?
The actor once fibbed about his height to casting agents to seem more ‘average.’ However, when he snagged the role of Thor, it was clear: the heavens had aligned. This role was, without a doubt, destined for him.
Liam Hemsworth 6’3″ (190.5 cm)
It must be something in the Hemsworth family’s water because Liam, the youngest of the Australian trio, stands just as tall as his brother Chris, also at 6’3″. The towering twosome often steal the spotlight, leaving eldest brother Luke to be the “short” one of the family at 5’11″—still well above average, mind you.
Can’t you just picture the sibling rivalry, each brother stretching up to claim the title ‘Tallest Hemsworth’? Height jokes aside, Liam carries his own, tall or not, in the acting world.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson 6’5″ (195 cm)
Is he 6’5″? Is he 6’4″? Let’s just agree that Dwayne Johnson is a skyscraper of a man. He’s taken his towering stature from the wrestling ring to the football field and finally onto the big screen.
Whether zooming around in the Fast & Furious franchise or adventuring through the jungle in Jumanji, he commands every frame he’s in. His height? That’s just the cherry on top of an already colossal career.
Gwendoline Christie 6’3″ (190.5 cm)
Standing 6’3″, Gwendoline Christie shatters stereotypes, much like her Game of Thrones character, Brienne of Tarth. She’s turned her unique height into an asset, landing roles in iconic franchises from Star Wars to The Hunger Games.
In a world that once told her she was “too tall,” she’s stood tall—literally—and proved that your stature can be your superpower. Her journey is not just inspiring; it’s a towering testament to breaking through societal norms.
Vince Vaughn 6’5″ (195 cm)
At a towering 6’5″, Vince Vaughn doesn’t just capture the spotlight; he practically owns it. Whenever he’s on screen, whether it’s outrunning prehistoric beasts in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” or making us chuckle in “Swingers,” his presence is magnified by his stature.
He’s such a tall drink of charisma that even Mindy Kaling openly admitted to having a crush on him during a 2014 appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” attributing her infatuation partly to his impressive height. Regrettably for Mindy, Vince was already off the market, but his soaring height remains the talk of Tinseltown.
Liam Neeson 6’4″ (194 cm)
Liam Neeson is as towering in person as he is intimidating on screen. In roles that have solidified his “tough guy” persona, like “Taken,” “Schindler’s List,” and “The Grey,” his 6’4″ frame has only added to his domineering presence.
But his height came with a small hiccup during his “Star Wars” days. The sets had to be modified, particularly doorways, to accommodate Neeson’s height—making sure Qui-Gon Jinn could pass through without needing to duck!
John Lithgow 6’4″ (194 cm)
John Lithgow’s towering 6’4″ frame might have seemed incongruous for his role as the shorter Winston Churchill in Netflix’s “The Crown,” but he absolutely nailed it. With a career spanning decades and loaded with accolades—two Academy Award nominations, six Emmys, and two Golden Globes—his talent knows no bounds, and his height certainly hasn’t typecast him.
Whether he’s part of an ape uprising or shaking things up in “Footloose,” Lithgow is as versatile as he is tall.
Aisha Tyler 6’0″ (182 cm)
Standing at 6 feet, Aisha Tyler is a dynamo of talent that can get any crowd buzzing. You’ll know her from her whip-smart humor on “The Talk” and her vocal stylings as Lana Kane on “Archer.” But did you know she’s also a podcast host, a film director, and an author?
Her podcast “Girl on Guy” is a must-listen, and her directorial venture “Axis” showed her prowess behind the camera. Aisha is a jack-of-all-trades, and her height only magnifies her commanding presence.
Shawn Mendes 6’2″ (187 cm)
You might get so lost in Shawn Mendes’ soulful eyes and voice that you overlook his towering 6’2″ height. When he’s beside his girlfriend, Camila Cabello, who is an entire foot shorter at 5’2″, the height disparity becomes the darling of fan discussions online.
Yet, there’s no denying that it adds an extra layer of cuteness to their relationship. The height difference is indeed another chord in the love song of their lives.
Arnold Schwarzenegger 6’2″ (187 cm)
From “The Terminator” to “Kindergarten Cop,” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s larger-than-life roles might make you think he’s even taller than his already impressive 6’2″.
Yet, his height has been the subject of Hollywood myths. Some suggest he’s as short as 5’7″, while others claim he’s closer to 5’11”. Arnold himself set the record straight, proudly declaring that he is, in fact, 6’2″. When he says people look up to him, he literally means it!
Dave Bautista 6’4″ (193 cm)
Did you think Thor was the tallest Avenger? Think again! Meet Drax, the Guardian of the Galaxy character played by none other than Dave Bautista. Standing at a mountainous 6’6″, he leaves all other Avengers looking up.
Although his wrestling profile lists him at that impressive height, some reports suggest he might actually be 6’2″. Height discrepancy or not, there’s no debate that Dave Bautista embodies Drax in a way no one else could!
Famke Janssen 6’0″ (182 cm)
The towering Famke Janssen always leaves a lasting impression, whether she’s playing Jean Grey in X-Men or Olivia Godfrey in Hemlock Grove. Standing 6 feet, she’s just a few inches shy of her “Taken” co-star Liam Neeson.
But her talents go beyond acting; she’s also a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with both on and off-screen.
Chris Evans 6’0″ (182 cm)
Captain America Chris Evans, uses his 6-foot frame to its full advantage, commanding respect and oozing leadership. Yet, his height almost cost him a role in the film Snowpiercer.
Director Bong Joon-Ho initially thought Evans looked too well-fed to play a character who was supposed to be malnourished. It’s a good thing he changed his mind because Chris was an absolute standout in that film.
Bradley Cooper 6’1″ (185 cm)
Suppose Rocket Raccoon stood upright and turned into a human. In that case, he’d measure up to a towering 6’1″—the height of Bradley Cooper, the voice behind the feisty character.
Besides Guardians of the Galaxy, Cooper has dazzled audiences in roles requiring extreme physical transformations, like gaining 40 pounds in American Sniper. And yes, he was Oscar-nominated for it!
Armie Hammer 6’5″ (195 cm)

Hugh Jackman 6’3″ (190 cm)
Hugh Jackman’s statuesque 6’3″ frame may come as a surprise to those who know him as the compact and muscular Wolverine. His commanding height contrasts with Wolverine’s traditional portrayal in comic books, adding a unique dynamic to his on-screen performances.

Joel McHale 6’4″ (193 cm)
The skyscraper-esque Joel McHale doesn’t just make audiences laugh; he also leaves his guests looking positively petite on his Netflix show. Even when his towering 6’4″ height is a subject of amusement, it doesn’t steal the limelight from his comedic genius.
Joel has a rich history of captivating audiences, from his role on Community to his hosting gigs on The Soup and now Card Sharks on ABC. Not to mention, he’s co-hosting The Darkest Timeline podcast with Community co-star Ken Jeong.
Karlie Kloss 6’2″ (187 cm)
Forget the cliché “tall, dark, and handsome”—Karlie Kloss redefines “tall, blonde, and fabulous.” Standing at an awe-inspiring 6’2″, Karlie commands the runway like the Eiffel Tower dominates the Parisian skyline. Yet, her journey to loving her height has been a roller coaster. Imagine a teenage Karlie, so self-conscious about towering over her peers that she’d put weights on her head to stunt her growth.
Fast-forward a few years, and she’s the empress of the runway, making designers and photographers fall over themselves to work with her. Now, she’s not just confident; she’s a role model for tall girls everywhere, proving that height is necessary.

Now, can you imagine the challenges of finding a wig and dress that fit when you’re nearly a foot taller than the average American woman? That’s Tyler Perry for you—a giant in heels and a wig!
Noah Centineo 6’1″ (185 cm)
Here comes Noah Centineo, the 6’1″ heartthrob who leaped into teen stardom as Peter Kavinsky in Netflix’s “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Hilariously enough, he used a clever squatting technique during auditions to appear shorter.
But as filming rolled, his co-star Lana Condor, standing at a petite 5’2″, couldn’t share the frame with him without the help of platform shoes! Noah isn’t just a towering presence in teen rom-coms; he’s too tall to fit into a standard camera frame.
Ben Affleck 6’4″ (193 cm)

Brigitte Nielsen 6’1″ (185 cm)
Long before the term “boss lady” was coined, Brigitte Nielsen was already owning it. Towering at 6’1″, Nielsen started her career as a model, gracing the cover of Playboy and even catching the eye of Marvel Comics to pose as She-Hulk.
The statuesque beauty seamlessly transitioned to the big screen, sharing the spotlight with ex-husband Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky IV” and “Cobra.” At 54, not only did she reprise her iconic role in “Creed II,” but she also became a mother again, proving that height isn’t her only extraordinary feature.

As she prepares to portray Princess Diana in Netflix’s “The Crown,” fans are buzzing about how her height makes her a fitting choice for the role, promising a performance that may very well be as monumental as her stature.
David Harbour 6’3″ (190.5 cm)
Known for his lovable role as Sheriff Jim Hopper on Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” David Harbour is a mammoth presence, especially when paired with the petite Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven. But don’t let his cuddly on-screen persona fool you.
For his role in “Hellboy,” Harbour bulked up, adding pounds of pure muscle to his already towering 6’3″ frame. The transformation was so astounding that fans initially thought it was CGI. But Harbour quickly set the record straight: that mountain of a man was all him, thanks to some serious dedication and hard work.
