In the glitzy world of Hollywood, not everything is as it seems. Thanks to strategic angles, clever footwear choices, and movie magic, it’s often hard to tell exactly how tall our favorite celebrities are—unless you happen to have spotted them in real life and seen for yourself.
From rom-com heartthrobs to chart-topping singers, these stars tower above the rest of us at 6 feet and above. Prepare to have that “woah, I never realized they were that tall” moment, too.
Shawn Mendes
Canadian-born Shawn Mendes catapulted into the limelight thanks to his viral videos on Vine a decade ago. After signing with Island Records in 2014, he quickly became a pop sensation.
These days, Shawn Mendes not only dominates the charts, but also stands on the taller side of the music industry at 6’2”. Only after seeing him towering over his on-off girlfriend Camila Cabello did we appreciate how tall the “Stitches” singer really is—he’s an entire foot taller than her.
