Those were questions. This Spring the QB from my college got caught lying about his height until he reached the combine. So, an athlete lying seems kind of silly. They're going to measure you and log it somewhere eventually.
Idk if he has ever spoken about it but Chris Evans’ height is listed as 6’0 on Google. I’m a 6’0 woman and I’ve seen him in person and he is at least 2-3 inches shorter than me. I would put him at 5’9 or 5’10
Also I just simply do not believe that Trump is 6’3. That picture of him standing next to Obama (who is 6’1 and I am confident doesn’t lie about his height) and being basically the same height as him proves it. Also he’s known to wear lifts in his shoes so I would guess he’s actually 5’11 or 6’0. Same with DeSantis, he’s probably 5’8 or 5’9 if I had to guess and wears lifts
Ooo another person is Glen Powell - that man is not 6’, on his Men’s health cover the other day - his legs were super short and so were his arms - I think he’s 5’8 a good 3-4 inches shorter than what he said he is!!!
I met Trump years ago and he is definitely on the tall side, but I’m only 5’4”. He didn’t strike me as TALL tall though, if that makes sense.
On a related note, SO many men I have known have said they’re “about 6’ tall” when asked. Yet stand them all in a row and their heights vary by as much as 3-4” 🤣
Trump has just shrank, not suprising for a man pushing 80 with zero history of exercise.
Probably about 6'0 now, I'd guess 6'2 when he was younger. I don't think his son would turn out 7'5 if his father was genetically 'only' 6 ft.
u/chasingandbelieving Why do you believe that one lies about their height and the other doesn't? Both are high-ranking politicians that have lied on numerous issues and got caught out many times. Whose to say that both are lying, or even telling the truth. There are multiple pictures of Trump standing next to his son online and he looks about 3-4 inches shorter in each pic making him 6ft3 or 6ft4.
I’ve seen Drake in real life. He’s about 6’1” (I’m 5’9.5” and he’s taller than I expected). 6’2” is pushing it as he’s slightly shorter than French Montana who is definitely 6’2” (I’ve seen French in real life multiple times).
I used to believe he was a strong 5’11.75” on camera but when he walked right past me I said definitely over 6’. The world may never know!
This is him next to 5’11” OBJ

But you are correct that 5'10" and 6'0" are very different height measurements in the grand scale of things, but maybe Andrew does not realize what his real height is...or maybe he thinks lying about him being 6 feet tall is better for him as a status symbol, lol...who knows!
I saw something when the whole “boy math” meme was happening and there was one that boys that are 5’10 will lie and say they’re 6 ft…made me think of that.
Yeah, I think Mike Tyson is one of those 5'10" men who will never say that he is 6 feet tall. Maybe he is more secure about his height than some of the other 5'10" men who keep saying that they are 6 feet tall. Also, I think your username is nice and I hope you are having a good Tuesday :-)
I saw him in person back when Katie Holmes and he were married and he was showing up to every showing of her broadway show. He might have shrunk since then or been wearing serious lifts at the time but my mom is 5'8 and he looked a little shorter than her, but not by much.
I've also walked past Drake more than once (we both grew up in Toronto and had mutual friends during the Degrassi era), and I'd say he's a little taller than me (I'm 5'10) - I'd put his max height at 6 feet.
Aging myself here, but I had classmates in college who worked at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Atlantic City. It was kind of a big deal at the time, especially during the grand opening.
I distinctly remember being told that Tom Cruise and Luke Perry were decidedly on the short side.
I mean I’ve never cared about height or size but I think it’s rather silly to lie about. I would fully expect people to call me unserious if I, as a size 14, went around saying I wore a size 2.
Yeah he's defo that height, Drake more than an inch shorter
https://preview.redd.it/8fmhhznbgx0c1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fe93826f30501687c56f3839de5a786350a7abb
Right? I’m a five nine female and so many men tell me I must be way taller or wearing really high heels (because we are close in height) or try to tell me they’re 6ft when I’m looking at the top of their head.
I don’t get it.
I'm a dude, and my mum insists I'm 6"2, which is blatantly untrue. Whenever I've actually been measured and come up at like 5"8 or whatever, she insists I was probably slouching. Could be a similar case for some of these guys, except they actually buy into the "slouching" cope.
I mean, it’s pretty easy to know why. Modern dating apps have fetishized tall men and demonized short men. A lot of men think that dating apps are an exact representation of real life.
My husband is a big guy and about 6ft 1. Dudes will argue with him that he is actually 6ft 4 or more. It's really funny. First of all...why would he lie??? People act like he's a giant. He's tall but like...normal tall.
The opposite happens in a lot of sports: Where an athlete's listed height is actually shorter than they are. But that happens because a lot of elite athletes got started at a young age, and they reported their height when they were young, and didn't correct it even after they grew taller.
For instance, Serena Williams was listed as 5 foot 8 for a lot of her career, even though she was clearly taller than that.
Ever since I accidentally touched Kyle MacLachlan’s butt instead of his lower back when posing for a picture, I am convinced they all lie about how tall they are. Because I am 5’11” and that man was inches shorter than me (and I have the photo to prove it, and no my hand is where it should be thank you).
Idk if he’s claimed it personally but most sites are reporting 6’, and a few say 6’2”. But he‘s more like 5’9”. So basically any actor saying they’re 6’ on the dot should be measured with witnesses.
Pretty sure King Charles lies about his height, or at least its wrongly listed online. It says he's 5ft 10, but a while ago people were talking about him next to Rishi Sunak, 5ft 7, they look the same height. For some reason people were saying Rishi makes himself look taller. But then Emmanuel Macron, at 5ft 8 looks taller than him.

Will reply another image
I think its fairly unusual to have shrank by 3 inches by age 75? Either which way I feel like his reported height is wrong, maybe it was right once but it seems wrong now.
I mean whether they wear lifts or not they would presumably have been wearing them on these occasions so the result is sort of the same.
Tbf regardless of whether it was even wrong then idk if its necessarily him thats lying. All well known people seem to have heights listed online but idk where people get these from (bc I can't be bothered to try and find out). Obviously some people tell the press but like some must be just estimating.
How tall would you say he is? My friend insists he’s only 5’9 🤣😭
I think he didn’t lie because he’s still taller than Olivia Wilde and Poppy Delevigne in heels + the lie detector said it was true (of course not 100% accurate but haha 🤪).
He starred in the music video for “Fire Meet Gasoline” with Heidi Klum. You can tell that he’s taller than Heidi, but their height difference is just noticeable. Heidi is reportedly 176cm, so I’d put Pedro as 180cm or thereabouts.
Men who say they’re 6’ are 5’10” - 5’11,” except for men who say they’re 5’ 11”, they’re actually 6’.
5’5” seems to be the maximum height where men stop padding their height.
I'm 6 foot and I say I'm 6 foot. Some bloke said he was 6'2 and the guy was shorter than me. Pointed it out and almost got into a fight. Next time gotta do it when his girl ain't there. 👌🏻
Kit Harington says he's 5'8" but he never looks much taller than Emilia Clarke ...
On the other end Kevin Durant said he was 6'9" for years bc he didn't want to get stereotyped as a big but apparently he's closer to 7 feet.
I'm 6 foot and a half in the morning and if I bought. A Pair of conzuri I could easily claim 6'2 when out in their shoes.
I wear air forces and still only claim 6'0 cos I don't believe in shoe height.

I think The Rock does, he is a bit shorter than he claims to be
Can't go back after adding 2 inches his whole wrestling career!
Almost every wrestler lies about their height. It's kind of hilarious to meet them in person and realize it.
Ok, but what height is he then, because s hunch doesn't really help any of us.
He was a D-1 athlete. Wouldn't there be official records? Was he anywhere near draftable?
really i thought he never had the makings of a star athlete?
Those were questions. This Spring the QB from my college got caught lying about his height until he reached the combine. So, an athlete lying seems kind of silly. They're going to measure you and log it somewhere eventually.
sorry i was just making a sopranos reference which i may have butchered.
He played pro in the CFL… the same football league where Doug Flutie (5’10”) was king.
Idk if he has ever spoken about it but Chris Evans’ height is listed as 6’0 on Google. I’m a 6’0 woman and I’ve seen him in person and he is at least 2-3 inches shorter than me.

I was going to comment him. I would guess he is 5’9 or 5’10. Would never put him at 6 feet
Trump makes sense. There was that gossip that Trump is extra touchy about standing near Baron because he dwarfs him so badly
Ooo another person is Glen Powell - that man is not 6’, on his Men’s health cover the other day - his legs were super short and so were his arms - I think he’s 5’8 a good 3-4 inches shorter than what he said he is!!!
I met Trump years ago and he is definitely on the tall side, but I’m only 5’4”. He didn’t strike me as TALL tall though, if that makes sense.

maybe ur heels were 2-3 inches tall
I’ve seen Drake in real life. He’s about 6’1” (I’m 5’9.5” and he’s taller than I expected). 6’2” is pushing it as he’s slightly shorter than French Montana who is definitely 6’2” (I’ve seen French in real life multiple times).
clinging to that .5” 😅… as a 6’+ i’m formally giving you permission to round up to 10”
I think that's fair. I'm like 6' and 1/8th of an inch and i tell everyone I'm 6'1"
you rounding up for 3mm
no hes not hes roundin up 7/8th inches
I’ve also met real life I’m 6’2 and he’s barely 6 flat I’d say 5’11.75 he almost always wears taller shoes so he looks 6’1
I used to believe he was a strong 5’11.75” on camera but when he walked right past me I said definitely over 6’. The world may never know! This is him next to 5’11” OBJ https://preview.redd.it/72c8tzqg0btc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db508f65dbfb4e77c6f3e2109ef81b78ca5cd0ad
Andrew Garfield has said he’s 6 ft in a couple interviews but he’s 5’10
Meh close enough
But you are correct that 5'10" and 6'0" are very different height measurements in the grand scale of things, but maybe Andrew does not realize what his real height is...or maybe he thinks lying about him being 6 feet tall is better for him as a status symbol, lol...who knows!
I saw something when the whole “boy math” meme was happening and there was one that boys that are 5’10 will lie and say they’re 6 ft…made me think of that.
Yeah, I think Mike Tyson is one of those 5'10" men who will never say that he is 6 feet tall. Maybe he is more secure about his height than some of the other 5'10" men who keep saying that they are 6 feet tall. Also, I think your username is nice and I hope you are having a good Tuesday :-)
It's boy math. 🙃
The funny thing is if one boy decides to be truthful, it ruins it for the rest. See the pictures of the men from Succession with other actors.
It has long been rumored that Tom Cruise is actually shorter than the 5' 7" he claims to be
I saw him in person back when Katie Holmes and he were married and he was showing up to every showing of her broadway show. He might have shrunk since then or been wearing serious lifts at the time but my mom is 5'8 and he looked a little shorter than her, but not by much. I've also walked past Drake more than once (we both grew up in Toronto and had mutual friends during the Degrassi era), and I'd say he's a little taller than me (I'm 5'10) - I'd put his max height at 6 feet.
Tom Cruise wears lifts probably all of the time. So does RDJ.
Aging myself here, but I had classmates in college who worked at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Atlantic City. It was kind of a big deal at the time, especially during the grand opening. I distinctly remember being told that Tom Cruise and Luke Perry were decidedly on the short side.

Do people still care about height?
I mean I’ve never cared about height or size but I think it’s rather silly to lie about. I would fully expect people to call me unserious if I, as a size 14, went around saying I wore a size 2.
Unfortunately, probably more than ever. It's a tiktok thing too. Like girls won't date guys under a certain height
I think J Cole actually is 6’3”. He was playing basketball in Scarborough, Canada, so that’s probably true!
I met J Cole a million years ago before he got famous and he was a tall dude. I def believe he's 6ft 3.
Yeah he's defo that height, Drake more than an inch shorter https://preview.redd.it/8fmhhznbgx0c1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fe93826f30501687c56f3839de5a786350a7abb
This is not exactly a great angle to show their height difference.
Zac Efron was 5'6 until he got buff, now listed at 5'8. I didn't think working out made you taller
I have heard that regular yoga or Pilates work (or dance) — can improve posture, which can account for in “increase” in height.
[удалено]
Same I'm always wanted to be 6'2 so I'll do 2.
Its not celebrities, its men in general.
My best friend is exactly six foot and he’s started saying he’s 5’11” so that dudes who lie about their height look even worse. 😂😂
Obsessed. Going to tell my husband to start doing the same 👀
Right? I’m a five nine female and so many men tell me I must be way taller or wearing really high heels (because we are close in height) or try to tell me they’re 6ft when I’m looking at the top of their head. I don’t get it.
Height and weight are two things I'll never understand lying about. *You know we can see you, right?*
Exactly! Such a bizarre thing to lie about.
I'm a dude, and my mum insists I'm 6"2, which is blatantly untrue. Whenever I've actually been measured and come up at like 5"8 or whatever, she insists I was probably slouching. Could be a similar case for some of these guys, except they actually buy into the "slouching" cope.

Lmao. Boy math is thinking all women are under 130lbs and all men are over 6ft 🥴.
It’s wild. I’m 5’3” and the amount of men who want to argue that I must be lying because we’re almost nose to nose is stupid. 🤦🏻♀️

She hangs out at the track

Trump and De Santis
DeSantis wears lifts in his shoes he's so insecure about his height
I love the graphics showing the heels. Always makes me laugh.
Ever since I accidentally touched Kyle MacLachlan’s butt instead of his lower back when posing for a picture, I am convinced they all lie about how tall they are. Because I am 5’11” and that man was inches shorter than me (and I have the photo to prove it, and no my hand is where it should be thank you).

I think Pedro Pascal lies about his height, it is not always but it is kinda a joke between his fans that 1,8 m is not his height
He’s got a long body and short legs which doesn’t help. Makes good swimmers, makes people look shorter than they are.
How tall would you say he is? My friend insists he’s only 5’9 🤣😭 I think he didn’t lie because he’s still taller than Olivia Wilde and Poppy Delevigne in heels + the lie detector said it was true (of course not 100% accurate but haha 🤪).

Most male celebs add one or two inches to their height.
As a tall woman I'd like to amend this statement to say that most males add at least two inches to their height.
Men who say they’re 6’ are 5’10” - 5’11,” except for men who say they’re 5’ 11”, they’re actually 6’. 5’5” seems to be the maximum height where men stop padding their height.
My friend says he is 5'9 and will also openly admit he comes up to collarbone (I'm 5 10). I've never met a 6' tall man that didn't claim that height.
I'm 6 foot and I say I'm 6 foot. Some bloke said he was 6'2 and the guy was shorter than me. Pointed it out and almost got into a fight. Next time gotta do it when his girl ain't there. 👌🏻

NC is a state, not a town…
Literally every celeb ever
Bruno Mars even joke about how short he is, I think there is some celebrity out there that they just can't lie about it, it is too obvious
TBF Drake said he is 6ft 2" in the right shoes, this poster is fanboy stuff
That's my point, he's saying a height he's not. Also it's a screenshot from First Person Shooter
I'm 6 foot and a half in the morning and if I bought. A Pair of conzuri I could easily claim 6'2 when out in their shoes. I wear air forces and still only claim 6'0 cos I don't believe in shoe height.
All men lol. I've had two boyfriends claim to be taller than 5'9" when standing shoulder to shoulder with my 5'5". I don't get it, we all have eyes..
Joe Jonas. No way that manlet is 5'7.5
I think Derek Theler admitted in a podcast that he had to tell people he's like 6'3 or 6'4 to land roles when he's actually 6'5.
I heard the same thing about Tom Welling, he’s 6’5 but lied and said he was 6’3 when he was starting out.
6’2” in the right shoe
yeah i know that fucker kevin garnet will never admit hes 7 foot tall the bastard
how can y’all mention the rock and other guys when kevin hart is right there 😭🤣
Kevin is honest that he's 5'2" though.
This, he owns it
pahahahaha I saw it right now and was laughing my ass off :D 5'11.5 max
Tyson Fury keeps saying that he is 6'9", but he is actually more like 6'7".
I honestly believe drake is my height 5’10 he’s stood next to objects that I have and same height like certain cars etc
That’s my guess too, I saw him once in Vegas surrounded by his homies and he wasn’t taller than any of them, there’s no way he’s even 6 ft
I googled this exact thing because of this video lmao
