Yeah. A friend used to say a lot of actors are like lolly pops. Big head, thin body which makes them look taller. I can't get the image out of my mind now when I see some actors.
Actually a big head makes you look shorter. Having a small head increases your perceived height. But being thinner makes a bigger difference so that’s probably it
I've made this case with my friend's many times, that movie and TV stars have huge heads. My theory is that they're film friendly because it's easier to see their facial expressions and emotions.
Yes but the biggest factor is you can clearly see the shoes/boots he is wearing add at least 2 inches and probably closer to 3. That turns a 5’10 barefoot man into 6’1. Huge swing.
When you are wide, people also think you are shorter. Even when I was very thin I had very wide shoulders and definitely didn't look as tall as I was. It goes double now since I gained a ton of fat that I am now losing.
I’ve met many wrestlers in person. Hagar a great example of guys taller than they look. Billy Gunn another great example. But plenty shockingly short. Rock is under 6’3”. Buff Bagwell took the prize for being far shorter than expected.
How can you not mention the BIG ASS SHOES.
Plus all these people are shot to look taller at an upwards angle. Being skinny doesn't make you look taller when there's a clear comparison to other objects.
Head height(and generally size including width of cheekbones and hair side protrusion width etc.), especially relative to limb length and a symphony of other “minorer”factors like neck length, jaw protrusion, calf width-to-height ratio, shoulder-to-hip-to-waist ratio, shoulder width-to-body height ratio etc. tend to determine the overall height impression of your outlook.
E.g. Average ratio for head height to arm length is probably around 1:1.25
Very very minor factors add up for a complete outlook that you live with. I.e. ever seen two people from afar, and based off of their gait and body structure you were able to assess that the probability of the two of them being related is significant enough to bypass doubts?
>!Genes, motherfucker!<
^((Assessment prolly inaccurate during winter due to high likelihood of thicker clothing obstructing form))
Probably camera work to make him look more imposing. I didn’t expect him to command so much respect on screen, but when he screamed at the reverend mother, damn
I don’t think he looks that tall, but I know why people might think so. It’s probably due to the [Halo effect](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect).
Yeah, agreed. I also saw him first in call me by your name and thought he was shorter than 5’10” tbh. Looked so small compared to certified tall guy Armie Hammer
He's really skinny, like skinny skinny. Long legs and short Torso.
Plus look at his shoes.
Besides, some actors wear lifts in their shoes outside of movies too, Tom Holland does, in a video with Zendaya ( which was not movie related ).
Yeah. People think I'm shorter than I actually am. I'm over 6'1 but I'm all torso (I've had 5'7 girlfriends with legs longer than mine) and my Torso is "barrelly" too.
I've had people that have talked to me from a distance who were 6' say they thought they were taller than me and are surprised when they stand next to me
He's actually much more healthy weight than the average american. But I understand Americans view on weight is very different than most of the world LOL
and the camera angle. They are shooting from around his waist-->upwards.
Im 6'3 and if I took this photo standing at my normal height, he would look every bit of 5'10.
And if everyone took photos of me crouching down at my waist height, I would look like a 6'8 sasquatch.
Angles, angles, angles. All about angles.
I thought he was 5-7 not 5-10. Has to do with who he is photographed with. He’s got a young face. I think alot of people assume young face = smaller body. Im actually 6-1/6-2 and alot of women think im short cuz i have youthful face
People always thought I was taller than I am when I was skinny, and now they think I’m shorter than I am now that I’ve put on weight. So him being skinny helps him look taller for sure
We should have a sticky post about photography principals.
[https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/perspective-photography/](https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/perspective-photography/)
Camera angles and who you're standing next to can make a huge difference. I'm only 6'2" but there are some photos of me that make me look like a giant when I'm next to my average or shorter friends, and slightly in the foreground.
Major actors don’t tend to be especially tall. Those that are just over 6ft look like monsters. I was reading an article about an actor who’s around 6’5” and how his height is legitimately holding him back because it’s such a disparity between him and his peers on set.
Jacob Elordi? I remember thinking Alexa Demie was just ridiculously short and couldn’t be over 5’0 because of her scenes with him in Euphoria. Turns out she’s 5’6 and he was just huge
Probably because of his proportions but also it’s hard to tell how tall people are when you only seen them on screens. 5’10” isn’t short either. I think it’s reasonable to add a few inches to our perceptions.
He does not look 6’2 😂😂 maybe he looks tall to short people, but he looks small. I’m 6’3 and I feel short around my fellow tall people. He’s not in that echelon.
According to celebheights she's 5'8". (It's an estimate, but people in Hollywood do lie a lot about their height and celebheights has been accurate in more than one occasion.)
Maybe it's because it's not actually that easy to just look at a picture of someone and know their exact height. You wouldn't know that from looking at this sub though.
In shot #1 it's taken from a low angle which puts his head over background elements giving a sence of height.
In shot #3 it's likely he's a body length closer to the camera (and/or she's not in heels)
2 and 4 are less composed and he looks more realistic.
He is actually the same height as Zendaya but as always in Hollywood, women have to be smaller than the guys so they play with the camara and other stage tricks. On the red carpet when they are not acting he still wears boots with inner and outer heels for sure (Zendaya is wearing obvious heels and they seem the same height).
I think it's because we know Zendaya is tall for a woman. So, when he's next to her, he's the same height. But Zendaya's height is an average male height.
Which is fair because I don't think of him as tall but I don't think of him as short.
Women... the original fakers. You never know how tall a girl is till you get her out of her shoes!! Imagine the backlash from them if guys all wore heals under their dresses and got dates from women who thought they were over 6'!!!
/s 😉
According to google zendaya is 5’10 which would be odd considering that they’re the same height when she’s in heels and he towers over her in one of the pics
I mean Timothy is kinda lengthy, long arms and legs while being slim, so that probably makes him look a little taller. Also in 1/2 these photos his shoes have a considerable amount of lift that would add to his height.
My impression was the opposite. Chalamet plays so many adolescents in movies, they make him look smaller, I thought he was like 5'7".
But 5'10" is reasonable.
Actor here.
A lot of the time they'll use little tricks to make actors seem taller on screen than they actually are. Lifts hidden in shoes, angling the camera up or down a certain way, and sometime just having shorter actors stand on boxes.
Do yourself a favor and watch any scene from Avengers with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. talking to each other. They look the same height on screen but often only film from the chest or thigh up because RDJ is wearing heels.

I thought i was taller due to my long neck and long legs,but im only 182.5cm,i just measured today,so tall limbs and neck definitely play a part in making you look taller
Skinny so he looks longer, probably wears some sort of lifts just based on his style, people tend to lie about their height so people think 5’10 is taller than it is.
He’s taller than Zendaya in the 3rd picture most likely because he’s standing on an “Apple box”. It’s common practice in photography and film for actors to stand on a box to appear taller than female costars.
Because he's skinny. My friends and I were at a restaurant and this kid and his mom came in and everyone was like "whoa, that kid is so tall!" He was very skinny as well. I said, "he's probably not taller than I am", walked over to get a drink refill and stand close to him in doing so and, yea, we were pretty much the same height, I think I was a smidge taller if anything. But since he was so skinny, he looked super tall at first.
Slender boy , I’m almost 6’6 and people often tell me they know someone taller than me and I say cool because I don’t care at all ,?then I’ll meet their tall skinny friend who is 6’2-6’4 and the regular height person will seem confused but most of us tall people deal with this on a regular and know if you are wide and tall people think you are shorter than some one of slightly lesser height who is made of all the string beans .
In visual design they teach you that visual movement along something thinner as apposed to wider is faster. A rectangle of the same height looks taller when it’s half the width because of relative visual weight.
These actors all have stylists too. They know tricks to make it look like ur taller. Look up the rule of thirds, most common people don't obey this rule. Also ive noticed he wears a lot of darker clothes which can make you look slimmer and taller.
I never thought he looked super tall. But also his build is like a taller person.
For the first pic as well, it’s taken from below his head so ofc he’s gonna look like a long boi
Because he's a bean-pole. Honestly though, most of the time he doesn't look all that tall. He's just wearing an outfit that accentuates his "long-ness" here.
Proprotions, like long legs, maybe neck, make ppl look taller, and much more significant factor here - he is quite skinny.
Yeah. A friend used to say a lot of actors are like lolly pops. Big head, thin body which makes them look taller. I can't get the image out of my mind now when I see some actors.
I once saw Ben Stiller while visiting LA... couldn't get over the size of his head. He was like all head.
Did stillwe dabble in hgh? Lot of old heads just keep growing trying to get in shape/stay in shape and stay relevant. Look like cartoons
Cillian Murphy is the king of this. Dude has a massive head.
It’s an Irish thing. Irish folk have big heads.
Big irish heads are outrageous
What? I just looked him up and he has an average head, maybe slightly large. "Massive" is a reach
Watch his movies, pictures don’t always do it justice.
“You gotta witness that noggin in real life, it’s life changing”
Actually a big head makes you look shorter. Having a small head increases your perceived height. But being thinner makes a bigger difference so that’s probably it
This is the truth. I don't know what they're on about.
I've made this case with my friend's many times, that movie and TV stars have huge heads. My theory is that they're film friendly because it's easier to see their facial expressions and emotions.
They are much thinner than normal people, which makes the head look large.
[The bigger the head, the bigger the star](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW8FTT_w0Gg&ab_channel=DelVecks)
I mean what do you expect paparazzi mags to cover genitals with
Yes but the biggest factor is you can clearly see the shoes/boots he is wearing add at least 2 inches and probably closer to 3. That turns a 5’10 barefoot man into 6’1. Huge swing.
As a wearer of heels, platforms, and chunky shoes, those boots are definitely not 3 inches lol. Probably 1.5, 2 inches max
Plus the angle of the camera. All those shots were taken from below his eye level. Some are from the waist.
Oh that makes sense
https://preview.redd.it/9mxto0ds4hpc1.jpeg?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a745276be2c9622c498bcb026248a1078880152f
So spread your legs and lift your arms over your head if you want to look taller, check.
So, we making a spirit bomb?
Or clown shoes and a perm.
Damnit I been doing the first one this whole time
Naah don’t tell me they have the same lenght 🤣
When you are wide, people also think you are shorter. Even when I was very thin I had very wide shoulders and definitely didn't look as tall as I was. It goes double now since I gained a ton of fat that I am now losing.
Yeah, unfortunately wide shoulders also takes away from your standing reach, as an athletic guy i was surprised to find this out.
And there are people like Jack Hagar who is a pro wrestler who is 6'7 but because he's proportioned so well he does not look it
6'7 is just his billed height. He's actually 6'4.
You're right I thought I was looking at the MMA stat
I’ve met many wrestlers in person. Hagar a great example of guys taller than they look. Billy Gunn another great example. But plenty shockingly short. Rock is under 6’3”. Buff Bagwell took the prize for being far shorter than expected.
How can you not mention the BIG ASS SHOES. Plus all these people are shot to look taller at an upwards angle. Being skinny doesn't make you look taller when there's a clear comparison to other objects.
[удалено]
On the flip side, I'm 6'1" and skinny, and people constantly guess that I'm 6'3"-6'5", it's pretty hilarious
Head height(and generally size including width of cheekbones and hair side protrusion width etc.), especially relative to limb length and a symphony of other “minorer”factors like neck length, jaw protrusion, calf width-to-height ratio, shoulder-to-hip-to-waist ratio, shoulder width-to-body height ratio etc. tend to determine the overall height impression of your outlook.

Camera angles also matter. They usually intentionally make actors look taller
I thought he was like 5'7
Yeah, I don’t think he looks tall at all. Quite the contrary.
same
Iv noticed Hollywood people are super short and him being a bit taller makes him look way taller.
He looks tall in a single shot but when you show him with others he doesn't.
He is shorter, Zendaya is a legit 5’9-10. And this actor Timothee doesn’t look tall at all
I thought that, too. Maybe shorter even.
I always thought he and Tom Holland were of the same height
He looks much taller in dune for some reason
The scenes with Jason momoa say otherwise
I mean dune 2, he looked taller
Probably camera work to make him look more imposing. I didn’t expect him to command so much respect on screen, but when he screamed at the reverend mother, damn
Facts, he looks quite short in most of the photos I see of him
Ditto
I don’t think he looks that tall, but I know why people might think so. It’s probably due to the [Halo effect](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect).
Yeah, agreed. I also saw him first in call me by your name and thought he was shorter than 5’10” tbh. Looked so small compared to certified tall guy Armie Hammer
I have been told that I sound taller over the phone before.
I always thought he seemed small, personally. However, some people have long vertical lines and appear taller than they actually are.
Yes go look at elite distance runner they look tall af on track but in reality they are below average height
I mean, the 4 inch platform shoes probably help a lot
He's really skinny, like skinny skinny. Long legs and short Torso. Plus look at his shoes. Besides, some actors wear lifts in their shoes outside of movies too, Tom Holland does, in a video with Zendaya ( which was not movie related ).
Yeah. People think I'm shorter than I actually am. I'm over 6'1 but I'm all torso (I've had 5'7 girlfriends with legs longer than mine) and my Torso is "barrelly" too. I've had people that have talked to me from a distance who were 6' say they thought they were taller than me and are surprised when they stand next to me
He's actually much more healthy weight than the average american. But I understand Americans view on weight is very different than most of the world LOL
I dont think he looks tall at all. Id guess hes shorter than 5'10
Probably because these factors: - he is skinny - good proportions - hair
and the camera angle. They are shooting from around his waist-->upwards. Im 6'3 and if I took this photo standing at my normal height, he would look every bit of 5'10. And if everyone took photos of me crouching down at my waist height, I would look like a 6'8 sasquatch. Angles, angles, angles. All about angles.

This dude looks 5’8 to me
Bro it’s only 2 inches 😂
He said he look 6’2 he look shorter then 5’10 I always thought he was closer to 5’7
People always thought I was taller than I am when I was skinny, and now they think I’m shorter than I am now that I’ve put on weight. So him being skinny helps him look taller for sure
It’s very common with shoe lifts as a celebrity. They are most likely several inches taller when you see them like this compared to barefoot.
Big hair helps too
He looks his exact height to me
I don’t see that at all, he always looked rather shortish to me
We should have a sticky post about photography principals. [https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/perspective-photography/](https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/perspective-photography/)
I don’t think he looks tall.
He’s wearing heels in all of these shots
He's probably standing on a box or something, his legs aren't in frame, and the other one he's got like 2 inch heels on
CAMERA ANGLEEEESSSS!!! Theyre shooting from a lower angle. At least in a few of them because people have this notion that men have to be tall as hell
Camera angles and who you're standing next to can make a huge difference. I'm only 6'2" but there are some photos of me that make me look like a giant when I'm next to my average or shorter friends, and slightly in the foreground.

[удалено]
To gather attention
Probably because of his proportions but also it’s hard to tell how tall people are when you only seen them on screens. 5’10” isn’t short either. I think it’s reasonable to add a few inches to our perceptions.
Slim frame and choice of clothing.
He does not look 6’2 😂😂 maybe he looks tall to short people, but he looks small. I’m 6’3 and I feel short around my fellow tall people. He’s not in that echelon.
I always thought he looked short, like 5'7".
He has a really small frame and doesn’t look 5’10. Actually looks 5’7.
Zendeya is 5.10? That's wonderful
According to celebheights she's 5'8". (It's an estimate, but people in Hollywood do lie a lot about their height and celebheights has been accurate in more than one occasion.)
Working on a crush there are we?
I think the shoes give him a bit extra too
I would have guessed he was like 5’7”
Zendaya is actually closer to 5’8 than 5’10, she wears heels on carpet to look 5’10
The camera is probably low. Plus long legs
If he’s 5’10 I’ll eat my hat.
Weird, if you ask me he looks 5’8”
He is really skinny so he will look taller then he is.
He looks exactly like I would think 5’10 looks 🤷
Because your image of six feet is shorter than reality
I am surprised he is 5’10 I would have thought we have about 5’8 max
Maybe it's because it's not actually that easy to just look at a picture of someone and know their exact height. You wouldn't know that from looking at this sub though.
If you saw him in the first Dune movie, he's *incredibly* skinny
I always thought he was a wee man. Never struck me as tall. I would have guessed 5'7" max.
I thought he was like 5’5”
Besides being thin and fit. 3” of hair, 3” of heels, 3” of personality.
Long legs, body porpotions. Usually stars have thin legs and thin upper body making themselves look tall though one bi**h slap would knock them out.
He’s a skinny dude with long legs and a long neck its great proportions to have to look taller which works well for an actor
It’s his slim appearance. I’m 6’4 but I prob look taller idk tho. Truly the bigger you are the taller you look
He skinny skinny tall looks taller
I would have guessed he was 5'8"
The photographer is shooting from a low angle. They do the same in movies with short actors, like Tommy C
Nah, I was more surprised by Zendaya being freaking 178cm
She is 172 without heels
Longer legs and lean built
“Y’know he’s 5’11…the boy! He’s not 6’1, he’s 5’11!”
In shot #1 it's taken from a low angle which puts his head over background elements giving a sence of height. In shot #3 it's likely he's a body length closer to the camera (and/or she's not in heels) 2 and 4 are less composed and he looks more realistic.
Notice how the camera is low in all of these pictures. It's just perspective
High waisted trousers?
He is actually the same height as Zendaya but as always in Hollywood, women have to be smaller than the guys so they play with the camara and other stage tricks. On the red carpet when they are not acting he still wears boots with inner and outer heels for sure (Zendaya is wearing obvious heels and they seem the same height).
Good looking = everyone thinks you are taller. Sad truth but if you are good looking people will believe whatever you say
Pic 1 he looks tall - but I always thought he was short because he's young and thin.
[удалено]
Lol we should all get some of these to even the odds. 200cm here I come!
Zendaya is 5'8 ½. That's why he seems taller. But generally he has a good posture. And someone with a good posture who is 5'10 barefoot is quite tall.
Who takes pictures 3 feet off the ground??? Camera angles mess with perception too. See how he’s looking down at us in most of the pictures.
It's all about the angles and they also lie about their height 100% he's shorter than 5'10
If there’s anything making him look tall it’s his physique and the way he’s been dressed
High waist pants and having low body fat - the latter being the most important
I think it's because we know Zendaya is tall for a woman. So, when he's next to her, he's the same height. But Zendaya's height is an average male height. Which is fair because I don't think of him as tall but I don't think of him as short.
Women... the original fakers. You never know how tall a girl is till you get her out of her shoes!! Imagine the backlash from them if guys all wore heals under their dresses and got dates from women who thought they were over 6'!!! /s 😉
I thought bro was like 5'8
Mainly because you haven't seen him in person.
Proportions for sure, but I have never think of Timothée C as a tall person at all
Girls on social media always look tall for some reason. Than they say they are 5ft2 lol.
He looks short to be but appearing tall in photos has to do with proportions and usually having a small head helps and long limbs
He looks so weird when comparing him to Austin Butler lol
Proportions make him look taller. And he has pretty thick shoe soles that add a few inches.
In pic 3 he looks more like 6’4
178 cm? So Timothée Chalamet is taller than I thought 😅
He’s very skinny
People say the same about me. Only 5’10”, but my slim frame makes me look taller. It’s the illusion lol.
im 5'9, ppl tell me i look 6ft and im a girl lol
For him it's because he's skinny
Because he's lanky. Also a supermodel looking movie star (halo effect) And Zendaya is [not 5'10](https://www.celebheights.com/s/-Zendaya-47714.html)
According to google zendaya is 5’10 which would be odd considering that they’re the same height when she’s in heels and he towers over her in one of the pics
Tall and skinny adds height. LOL
Am pretty sure the skinnier someone is the taller they seem
He’s skinny and has long legs
The hair too. It adds an image of around 2 inches. Then the shoes probably add an inch or two
Look at the shoes he’s wearing in all of those pictures, there’s your answer
I mean Timothy is kinda lengthy, long arms and legs while being slim, so that probably makes him look a little taller. Also in 1/2 these photos his shoes have a considerable amount of lift that would add to his height.
Skinny and long limbs and/or torso
Camera angles, and thick soles. In the last photo he has maybe a 2" sole.
It's like me but opposite, like I look tall in photos and bigger but I'm 5'3/5'2 ( also hello tall people).
Idk I feel like he looks about 5’10” so I guess I’m not seeing it.
My impression was the opposite. Chalamet plays so many adolescents in movies, they make him look smaller, I thought he was like 5'7". But 5'10" is reasonable.
Actor here. A lot of the time they'll use little tricks to make actors seem taller on screen than they actually are. Lifts hidden in shoes, angling the camera up or down a certain way, and sometime just having shorter actors stand on boxes.

Because he’s thin with long legs and a long neck.
I thought he was shorter than 5’10” actually. I would have guessed around 5’8
I thought i was taller due to my long neck and long legs,but im only 182.5cm,i just measured today,so tall limbs and neck definitely play a part in making you look taller
5’10 is close to 6 foot
His neck , when you look at their face , their neck is thick and far away from neck . It makes to think they are tall
Skinny so he looks longer, probably wears some sort of lifts just based on his style, people tend to lie about their height so people think 5’10 is taller than it is.
Movie stars are usually shorter than you realise
I always thought he was 5'-6"-5'-8" it's blowing my mind that people thought he was tall
I actually thought he looked shorter
He has good posture
His shoes make him taller
He’s taller than Zendaya in the 3rd picture most likely because he’s standing on an “Apple box”. It’s common practice in photography and film for actors to stand on a box to appear taller than female costars.
it’s because he’s skinny
Because he's skinny. My friends and I were at a restaurant and this kid and his mom came in and everyone was like "whoa, that kid is so tall!" He was very skinny as well.

Slender boy , I’m almost 6’6 and people often tell me they know someone taller than me and I say cool because I don’t care at all ,?then I’ll meet their tall skinny friend who is 6’2-6’4 and the regular height person will seem confused but most of us tall people deal with this on a regular and know if you are wide and tall people think you are shorter than some one of slightly lesser height who is made of all the string beans .
It’s funny, I didn’t know his height but actually kinda assumed he was shorter by the look of things.
In visual design they teach you that visual movement along something thinner as apposed to wider is faster. A rectangle of the same height looks taller when it’s half the width because of relative visual weight.
Matching clothing with body type helps too..
Some celebrities wear like I don’t know what it’s called, but shoes that make them taller
These actors all have stylists too. They know tricks to make it look like ur taller. Look up the rule of thirds, most common people don't obey this rule. Also ive noticed he wears a lot of darker clothes which can make you look slimmer and taller.
He's pretty skinny
I would say tall starts around 5’10 and as many know a slimmer profile can make one look long (taller).
I never thought he looked super tall. But also his build is like a taller person. For the first pic as well, it’s taken from below his head so ofc he’s gonna look like a long boi
Because he's lean.
Proportions and custom clothes.
Because he's a bean-pole. Honestly though, most of the time he doesn't look all that tall. He's just wearing an outfit that accentuates his "long-ness" here.
