They might look average-sized on screen. But off-camera, these stars are massive.
From the red carpet to the basketball court, these celebrities aren’t just big names — they’re literally towering figures.
Whether it’s surprising height differences with their partners or dwarfing co-stars in group photos, these 10 stars prove that Hollywood isn’t all about looking small on screen.
1. Greg Davies – 2.03 meters (6’8″)
The British comedian and Taskmaster host might be known for his dry wit, but fans meeting him in person are often shocked by just how tall he is.
Standing over two meters tall (or whopping 6 foot 8), Davies has joked about his own height in countless routines.
Next to his much shorter co-hosts, he practically looks like a cartoon giant.
2. Travis Kelce – 1.96 meters (6’5″)
The NFL star and Taylor Swift’s fiancé stands 6 foot 5, making even the statuesque Swift at 1.80 meters (5’11”) look petite in photos.
He’s got game — both on the field and off.
3. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – 1.96 meters (6’5″)
You knew he was big, but this big? The Rock is as tall as he is muscular.
At 6 foot 5 and with his famously broad frame, he often towers over everyone around him on the red carpet.
4. Brittney Griner – 2.06 meters (6’9″)
The WNBA icon and Olympic gold medalist is one of the tallest female athletes in the world at 6 foot 9.
Her presence is as powerful as her height.
5. Bo Burnham – Approx. 1.98 meters (6’6″)
The comedian, writer, and director is known for his wit and brain — but it’s his height that often catches fans off guard.
In photos with girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers (1.65 meters), the height gap becomes a whole character on its own.
6. Hozier – 1.98 meters (6’6″)
The soulful Irish singer is nearly 2 meters tall — or 6 foot 6 — making him a true gentle giant.
Standing next to someone like Flavor Flav (5’7″), the contrast is striking.
7. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – 2.18 meters (7’2″)
The tallest celeb on this list.
At an incredible 2.18 meter (or a staggering 7 foot 2), the NBA legend is a skyscraper among stars.
Most people only reach his midsection.
8. Jacob Elordi – 1.96 meters (6’5″)
The Euphoria and Saltburn actor might not look that tall on screen, but in real life, he stands just shy of 2 meters (6 foot 5) — towering over many of his co-stars.
9. Lee Pace – 1.96 meters (6’5″)
The actor best known for playing Elven King Thranduil in The Hobbit franchise and Marvel’s Ronan is more than just striking — he’s towering.
At 6 foot 5, even runway models in heels struggle to measure up.
10. Winston Duke – 1.96 meters (6’5″)
The Black Panther star is a powerhouse on screen, and at 1.96 meters (6 foot 5), he brings an unmistakable presence to every scene and appearance.
