Actors Who Defy Expectation With Their Height Off Screen

Gwendoline Christie – 6’3 (190 cm)

Only 4% of Americans are over 6’2, and it’s even rarer to be part of that group if you are a woman. Amazingly, Gwendoline Christie comes in at 6’3 – making her way taller than most, if not all, of the co-stars she will work with.

The Game of Thrones star is rarely seen in high heels due to her amazing height, which she says was the source of childhood bullying in her early years. She is married to Giles Deacon, the English fashion designer, and the two live happily in London.
