Celebrity heights look wonderfully simple until you ask where the number actually came from. For these 23 stars, I have separated direct statements and credible published figures from estimates that have simply circulated online.
Celebrity heights at a glance
- Every height below is shown in feet and inches and in centimetres.
- Self-reported means the celebrity has publicly stated the figure.
- Reported means a named publication or biographical source supplied the measurement.
- Where credible sources disagree, the disagreement stays visible rather than being averaged away.
Last checked September 15, 2026. A centimetre conversion is rounded where the original source gives an imperial measurement.
Taylor Swift
Reported height: 5 ft 10 in to 5 ft 11 in (178–180 cm). Confidence: Reported. This is one of the cases where a single neat number hides a genuine source disagreement. People listed Swift at 5 ft 10 in in its 2026 celebrity-height feature, while 5 ft 11 in has also appeared widely in profiles.
Why I use a range
There is not enough primary documentation here to pretend that one of those adjacent figures is definitively correct. The defensible answer is roughly 5 ft 10 in to 5 ft 11 in (178–180 cm).
Dwayne Johnson
Self-reported height: 6 ft 4 in (193 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Johnson described himself as a "six-foot-four" professional wrestler during his 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards speech, a statement reported by The Guardian.
That is more useful than the 6 ft 5 in figure that has circulated in some celebrity listings. Johnson has made several height claims over the years, so 6 ft 4 in (193 cm) is best treated specifically as his own stated figure rather than a documented measurement.
Zendaya
Self-reported height: 5 ft 10 in (178 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Zendaya answered the question directly in WIRED's autocomplete interview with Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon. Asked how tall she was, she gave 5 ft 10 in.
- Height: 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)
- Source: Zendaya speaking in a WIRED interview
- Confidence: Self-reported
Tom Cruise
Reported height: about 5 ft 7 in (170 cm). Confidence: Reported. The 5 ft 7 in figure is the persistent published listing for Cruise, but I have not found a sufficiently strong primary measurement to upgrade it to Documented.
Source quality matters here
Unlike Zendaya or Chris Hemsworth, Cruise does not give us a clean direct statement in the sources reviewed for this page. I therefore treat 5 ft 7 in (170 cm) as a reported figure, not a verified measurement.
Chris Hemsworth
Self-reported height: about 6 ft 3 in (191 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. This one comes with unusually useful context. During GQ's Actually Me interview, Hemsworth encountered a listing of 6 ft 2¾ in and replied that he thought he was about 6 ft 3 in.
The difference is only a quarter-inch, so I would not manufacture precision the source itself does not provide. About 6 ft 3 in (191 cm) accurately reflects Hemsworth's own answer.
Ariana Grande
Reported height: roughly 5 ft 0 in to 5 ft 2 in (152–157 cm). Confidence: Reported. This is another height where respectable publications do not give a single consistent answer. Allure described Grande in 2021 as barely over five feet, while People's 2026 height feature listed her at 5 ft 2 in.
| Source | Figure |
|---|---|
| Allure, 2021 | Barely over 5 ft |
| People, 2026 | 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) |
Without a documented measurement, the disagreement is more informative than choosing whichever number appears most often online.
Jason Momoa
Self-reported height: 6 ft 4 in (193 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Momoa gave this figure himself while speaking to People for a January 2024 interview, describing himself as 6 ft 4 in.
Because the number comes directly from Momoa rather than a visual comparison or celebrity database, 6 ft 4 in (193 cm) is the clearest public figure available. It remains self-reported rather than documented because the interview is not a formal measurement.
Lady Gaga
Reported height: about 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 2 in (155–157 cm). Confidence: Reported. Lady Gaga's height is commonly published around this narrow range, but I do not have a primary documented measurement that justifies presenting either endpoint as exact.
Do not measure from photographs
Stage footwear, red-carpet shoes, posture and perspective make photographs poor measuring tools. A one-inch disagreement is better left visible until a stronger source resolves it.
Ryan Reynolds
Self-reported height: 6 ft 2 in (188 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Reynolds supplied the figure himself in a 2012 Forbes interview about a custom motorcycle. He explained that the builder had taken his 6 ft 2 in height into account.
That direct statement is stronger than a copied biographical listing, and CBS had also described Reynolds as 6 ft 2 in in 2010.
Scarlett Johansson
Self-reported height: 5 ft 3 in (160 cm), with older statements of 5 ft 4 in (163 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Johansson is a useful example of why old quotations should not be silently discarded. She has described herself as 5 ft 4 in in older interviews but later referred to her own 5 ft 3 in frame.
- Later self-description: 5 ft 3 in (160 cm)
- Older self-description: 5 ft 4 in (163 cm)
- Best reading: her public statements differ by about one inch
Hugh Jackman
Reported height: 6 ft 2 in (188 cm). Confidence: Reported. The Guardian described Jackman as 6 ft 2 in in its October 2011 interview with the actor.
I label that figure Reported because the measurement is supplied by the publication rather than quoted as Jackman's own statement or tied to an official measurement record.
Kim Kardashian
Reported height: 5 ft 2 in (157 cm). Confidence: Reported. CBS News described Kardashian as 5 ft 2 in while covering her 2010 Harper's Bazaar interview.
What the label means
The source is a mainstream publication, but the article does not document an actual measurement. That keeps 5 ft 2 in in the Reported category rather than Documented.
Keanu Reeves
Reported height: about 6 ft 1 in (185 cm). Confidence: Reported. Reeves is widely listed around 6 ft 1 in, but the available source trail is less satisfactory than the direct interviews attached to several other names on this page.
For that reason, I would publish 6 ft 1 in (185 cm) as a reported figure rather than imply that an official measurement has been located. The distinction is small on the page and important in the sourcing.
Sabrina Carpenter
Self-reported height: 5 ft 0 in (152 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Carpenter provides a particularly clear source because she refers to herself as five feet in her own work. Vogue also described her as "five-feet-nothing" in September 2024, while CBS Sunday Morning described her as just over five feet that October.
The cleanest reference figure is therefore 5 ft 0 in (152 cm), with the sensible caveat that casual height statements are normally rounded rather than clinical measurements.
Brad Pitt
Reported height: about 5 ft 11 in (180 cm). Confidence: Reported. Pitt is commonly listed around 5 ft 11 in, but I have not found a strong primary measurement in the sources reviewed here.
Do not turn repetition into verification
A number appearing on dozens of celebrity databases does not make those databases independent sources. Until a stronger record is available, about 5 ft 11 in (180 cm) is best presented as reported rather than documented.
Nicole Kidman
Reported height: 5 ft 11 in (180 cm). Confidence: Reported. Kidman's 5 ft 11 in figure continues to appear in mainstream biographical coverage, including People's 2026 celebrity-height feature.
The figure is consistent enough to use as the reported height, but consistency is not the same thing as a documented measurement. I therefore keep the label at Reported.
Timothée Chalamet
Reported height: 5 ft 10 in (178 cm). Confidence: Reported. Biography.com lists Chalamet at 5 ft 10 in and attributes that measurement to his IMDb profile.
- Height: 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)
- Published source: Biography.com
- Underlying listing: IMDb profile
- Confidence: Reported
Selena Gomez
Reported height: 5 ft 5 in (165 cm). Confidence: Reported. People included Gomez at 5 ft 5 in in its 2026 roundup of celebrity heights.
I have not upgraded that to Self-reported or Documented because the figure in the source is editorially supplied rather than attached to a direct Gomez statement or formal measurement. For a reference page, that distinction is worth preserving.
Idris Elba
Reported height: 6 ft 2½ in (189 cm). Confidence: Reported. The Independent supplied the unusually specific figure of 6 ft 2½ in in a 2011 profile of Elba.
Other coverage has rounded him to 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), including the Irish Independent in 2010. The half-inch difference is exactly the sort of harmless rounding that creates apparently conflicting celebrity-height listings.
Billie Eilish
Self-reported height: 5 ft 4 in (163 cm), with lower published estimates. Confidence: Self-reported. Eilish has been quoted describing herself as 5 ft 4 in, while specialist height estimates have placed her closer to 5 ft 3 in (160 cm).
What supports 5 ft 4 in
- It comes from Eilish's own stated height.
What limits certainty
- It is self-reported rather than a documented measurement, and independent estimates differ.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Reported height: about 6 ft 0 in (183 cm). Confidence: Reported. Vanity Fair's 2016 account of DiCaprio's Titanic body double described the double as 5 ft 9 in and DiCaprio as six feet.
An earlier in-person Cherwell profile likewise described DiCaprio as a good six feet. Those are independent published descriptions rather than a formal measurement, so 6 ft 0 in (183 cm) remains a Reported figure.
Dua Lipa
Self-reported height: 5 ft 8 in (173 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Dua Lipa has publicly stated that she is 5 ft 8 in, including a direct response disputing claims that she was 5 ft 10 in. A WIRED appearance also records her giving 5 ft 8 in.
The exact imperial-to-metric conversion is about 172.7 cm, conventionally rounded to 173 cm. Because the original figure is her own statement rather than an independently documented measurement, the correct label is Self-reported.
Pedro Pascal
Self-reported height: 5 ft 11 in (180 cm). Confidence: Self-reported. Pascal has given the number himself more than once. In a TV Guide interview he described himself as 5 ft 11 in, and a 2022 Vanity Fair statement likewise had him identifying his unshod height as 5 ft 11 in.
5 ft 11 in
Pedro Pascal's own stated height, approximately 180 cm
Frequently asked questions about celebrity heights
Why do celebrity height figures disagree?
Many are self-reported or editorial listings rather than documented measurements. Rounding alone can create a one-inch difference, while older profiles may simply repeat earlier claims.
Can photographs confirm a celebrity's height?
Not reliably. Footwear, camera position, posture, uneven ground and perspective can all alter apparent height.
Does self-reported mean the number is wrong?
No. It means exactly what it says: the public figure supplied the number, but the source does not independently document a measurement.
Which figures deserve the most confidence?
A documented measurement or official primary record is strongest. A direct statement is useful but should remain labeled Self-reported; a credible publication without a primary record is Reported.
The useful takeaway is not that every celebrity has one perfectly knowable number. For several stars here, the best answer is a sourced range or a clearly labeled reported figure. That is more accurate than turning an inherited internet number into a fact simply because it has been repeated often.
