Why are you always looking down on people? I don't mean that you think you're better than other people. I mean you're very tall and probably know what the tops of everyone's heads look like. Are you always being asked to get something off the top shelf for shorties? Do you have to duck when going through normal doorways? You are tall. Celebrities often appear larger than life on the big and small screens—and on red carpets, for that matter—regardless of their actual height. After all, in Hollywood, not everything is what it seems. Angles and camera tricks abound, creating whatever illusion or image the creative team behind that project wants to convey. But there are a few stars who are actually tall—and you might not even realize it. (Keep in mind that the average height for men and women in the United States is 5' 9" and 5'4", respectively.)
