Maria Sharapova, 188 cm

By the way, Maria always chose tall boyfriends for herself: she met with basketball player Sasha Vuyachich and tennis player Gregor Dimitrov.

Gwendolyn Christie, 191 cm

Gwendolyn Christie and Giles Deacon

The British actress, perhaps, can claim the title of the tallest woman in Hollywood. Her heroines are very belligerent: Commander Lime in The Hunger Games, Captain Phasma in star wars and, of course, Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. For a long time, filmmakers did not offer roles to this hero, but now she is just like hot cakes: only this year four films with her participation are released.

They could attract attention only with their height, but life has decreed that these people are also famous. WomanHit found out whether growth helps their careers or only hinders them.

Maria Sharapova
1 meter 88 centimeters

Growth, which is also great for the modeling business, allows Maria to realize herself in different directions. Of course, it is difficult to overshadow her sporting achievements, but it was her appearance that made the tennis player both an advertising star and a girl from the podium. With a height of 188 centimeters, Maria weighs no more than 60 kilograms. At the same time, Sharapova also has a sweet tooth. The only thing the famous Russian woman limits herself to is in the choice of shoes. "AT ordinary life I rarely wear stilettos. I’m already very tall, ”Masha once admitted.

Catherine Barnabas
1 meter 81 centimeters

Participant comedy woman initially saw myself as a star ballroom dancing. But in training, she injured her back, and she had to say goodbye to her dancing career. But a television career took place, and it must be admitted that for a girl of this height a sense of humor - useful quality. According to rumors, it started with jokes. Once, during dinner, Khrustalev said just that: “Did you finally understand that I was driving up to you?” To which Katya replied: “You are small in stature to roll up to me.” But Dmitry was not taken aback: “And they didn’t see such high ones!” retorted a colleague. And although in the end Katya and Dmitry broke up, many believe that it was a very beautiful couple.

Alexander Astafiev

Already at school, Olesya Zheleznyak was the tallest girl in the class, so she often sat on the last desk with losers and hooligans. “But the first beauties went in girlfriends. I successfully set off their charms, ”Olesya jokes. By the time of graduation, Zheleznyak's height was 180 centimeters, and it was a sin not to use such unusual data. Acting talent, combined with a non-standard appearance and high growth, allowed Olesya to play in many comedy films. The appearance of the actress attracted her future husband, actor Spartak Sumchenko. “Olesya seemed like a creature from another planet, an alien - I did not understand either her appearance or character,” the artist once admitted.

Lilia Sharlovskaya

Dmitry Guberniev
2 meters

With such growth, Dmitry's weight is 104 kilograms, which, of course, makes his sports comments very significant. At one time, Guberniev was not engaged in basketball at all, as fans mistakenly believe, but in rowing. In everyday life, high growth does not interfere with Dmitry. But professionally it doesn't always help. At one time, the TV presenter was forced to get into the T-80 tank when he was doing a program about tank biathlon. “True, I had to sit bent over in three deaths! But I drove 20 kilometers! ”, The commentator recalls.

Lilia Sharlovskaya

Philip Kirkorov
2 meters 2 centimeters

“Two meters of beauty” - this is how the artist sometimes jokes to himself. Some time ago, there was a rumor about Philip that the pop star was suffering from a disease, because of which he could not stop growing. But since then, Philip has not grown a centimeter, which probably upset the gossips. Choosing clothes for a person taller than two meters can turn into a long procedure, but Philip does not complain. On the contrary, it tries to get rid of huge amount of things. At some point, Philip decided to sell designer items, many of which he never even wore. The demand for things, however, turned out to be small, which is not surprising: after all, Philip's clothes are not only exotic, but also clearly for growth.

Lilia Sharlovskaya

Nikolai Valuev
2 meters 13 centimeters

It was not in vain that Nikolai's fans awarded him such nicknames as the Russian Giant and Kolya the Sledgehammer. Nikolai is one of those who is unlikely to ever succeed in blending into the crowd. But the problems of the athlete, the actor and the deputy are also rather big. For example, Nikolai's shoe size is 51st. And this means that everything - from classic boots to slippers - he has to sew to order. It is not easy for Nicholas to move around the world. It is possible that air seats in business class cabins will be able to accommodate him, but hotel beds are not always designed for people of this height. Valuev's wife barely reaches her husband's shoulder. At the same time, Galina claims that she loves every centimeter of her chosen one.

They say that tall stature adorns a man. Nature obviously did not stint on the decorations of the heroes of our rating.

Nikolai Valuev

Nikolai Valuev - 2 meters 13 centimeters

Perhaps the Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev is not the most tall man on earth, but the fact that he is the tallest among the stars is an indisputable fact, for which he is awarded such "affectionate" nicknames as "Russian giant" or "Kolya-sledgehammer". Valuev has always been high: in kindergarten he surpassed his classmates by a whole head, and at school he played in the basketball team (he became the champion of Russia among youths younger age) and was engaged in athletics - discus throwing. Now, when the growth of an athlete has surpassed all, even the most daring, his expectations, he has problems from time to time. Since not all hotels have beds on which the champion could sleep, the administration has to look for the necessary one in the surrounding hotels, and then transport it to his room. The boxer has to sew shoes of size 51 (!) to order, and recently it turned out that the championship belt ... became small for his figure, and a new one was made especially for Valuev.

It is interesting that the wife of Nikolai Galina, in full accordance with the statement that big men love miniature women, barely reaches her husband's shoulder. Which does not prevent her from declaring that she loves every inch of her husband.

Mikhail Prokhorov

Mikhail Prokhorov - 2 meters 4 centimeters

Yielding the palm to Nikolai Valuev, the Russian billionaire and politician Mikhail Prokhorov, nevertheless, remains one of not only among the stars, but also among the population of the Earth in general - his height is 2 meters 4 centimeters. No wonder during the presidential elections in Russia, in which Prokhorov ran for his candidacy and unexpectedly for everyone - and for himself too! - took third place after Putin and Zyuganov, his confidants, Alla Pugacheva and Andrei Makarevich, dedicated the song of Vladimir Vysotsky "Giraffe big, he knows better" to him.

Vitaliy Klichko

Vitaliy Klichko - 2 meters

Vitali Klitschko also complains about his height, which in Everyday life gives him a lot of inconvenience: he, like Valuev, needs big beds and cars, otherwise he simply does not fit there. But in the ring he gets an advantage over his rivals - there is simply no equal to Vitaly.

Vladimir Klichko

Vladimir Klichko - meter 98 centimeters

But, whom nature did not offend with growth either (he is only two centimeters inferior to his older brother), does not consider him an advantage - Vladimir assures that it is difficult for him to box with a short opponent and, moreover, to knock him out. Like Valuev, Vladimir likes petite women: his recent girlfriend, actress Hayden Panettiere, was 43 centimeters shorter than her boyfriend.

Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee - meter 96 centimeters

English film actor Christopher Lee height helped to play representatives evil spirits- in particular, Count Dracula - on account of Lee 69 (!) Horror films. Apparently, in the performance of the actor "that's such a height," vampires and ghouls became even more terrible. In total, Lee has 290 films on his account, he is even listed in the Guinness Book of Records as an actor whose name is indicated in the credits. most films. But at the beginning acting career Lee's affairs were far from being so blissful: the directors willingly took him into their films, but they gave him only supporting roles - he was head and shoulders above the leading actors.

Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn - meter 96 centimeters

Unbelievable, but true: the palm in terms of growth does not belong to Hollywood - its representative, actor Vince Vaughn, with a height of 196 centimeters, is only sixth in our rating. Perhaps Vaughn could have grown more, but a back injury prevented him, which future star received at the age of seventeen. Execution characteristic roles high growth is not a hindrance, rather the opposite - it gives them piquancy.

Philip Kirkorov

Philip Kirkorov - meter 95 centimeters

The highest star of show business - of course,. On stage, he looks like a king, but in everyday life, in his own words, would like to be a little lower. It turns out that the singer's extravagant clothes - rhinestones, feathers, sequins and fringe - are due precisely to his high growth. “Western couturiers,” complains Philip Bedrosovich, “are counting on people of average height, so it’s very difficult for me to pick up something decent.” For the same reason, Kirkorov is forced to ride in a limousine - he simply does not fit in other cars.

Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood - meter 93 centimeters

The height of the 82-year-old Hollywood star, commander of the Legion of Honor, two-time Oscar winner, actor and director Clint Eastwood is 193 centimeters. Unlike Lee and Vaughn, Eastwood, despite his height, has always played and plays exclusively goodies westerns. Due to growth in his youth, Eastwood looked older than his years, and due to his attractiveness he was popular with girls, which allowed him to lose his innocence at the age of 14. However, he gets along well with the female sex even now: his current wife, in the past - a television journalist, Dina Ruiz is 35 years younger than Eastwood.

Alexander Marshal

Alexander Marshal - meter 93 centimeters

A real Russian hero - or marshal - can also be called the singer Alexander Marshal, whose height is 193 centimeters. Mine stage name- Marshal - Alexander Minkov (this is real name singer) justifies one hundred percent: tall, slender (even despite the dialed in recent times kilograms), oblique fathom in the shoulders. They say that in life he is even more than on the screen. The only detail that spoils the overall pleasant impression is that Alexander smokes thin women's cigarettes at the same time, and even complains: "I just can't quit."

Sergey Zverev - meter 87 centimeters

The star, constantly in shock, was endowed by nature with far from small - 187 centimeters - growth, but Sergey also increases it with shoes and boots on 20-centimeter platforms, which raises him to the level - or even higher - of Philip Kirkorov. Well, taking into account the thinness and grace inherent in Zverev, he makes a truly breathtaking impression. However, this applies not only to growth, but also to the style of the star, that's really true - you rarely see this!

What is a source of pride for a man may well become death for a woman. Or, at the very least, a reason to be upset. For example, growth. tall men they call handsome men, and women are called tall and tall, and these are still the most harmless nicknames. Of course, with the advent of fashion for tall models, a girl whose height knocks out beyond the average can find a place for herself on the podium. But in life, she will still feel, to put it mildly, uncomfortable.

Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova - meter 87 centimeters

The highest of all modern stars is a Russian tennis player - up to two meters she lacks only 13 centimeters. Maria admits that growth gives her certain inconveniences. And if she is already used to the astonished exclamations of people meeting her for the first time: “Wow, how tall you are!”, then she always has problems with buying clothes. The hardest thing for Maria is to find jeans of the right size, it turns out that they are simply not sewn on legs of this length. But Sharapova does not worry about this, on the contrary, she likes to emphasize her height with high heels.

Bridget Nielsen

Bridget Nielsen - meter 85 centimeters

But Brigitte Nielsen, or, as she is also called, "red Sonya", whose clothing issue is not so acute (it seems that most time, a beauty with appetizing forms prefers to do without it), experiences certain difficulties in choosing men. More precisely, she finds them easily (48-year-old Bridget was married five times), but all her spouses next to her looked, to put it mildly, undersized. And for a real man - such as, for example, Sylvester Stallone - it is difficult to come to terms with this fact. But Bridget, who calls her ex-husbands weaklings, it seems, finally managed to find the man of their dreams - with the Italian Mattia Dessi, who is sixteen years younger than the actress, they live in perfect harmony.

Interestingly, to her current height - more precisely, up to 180 centimeters - she grew up at the age of twelve, which did not contribute to her popularity among her classmates, who unanimously teased the girl with a tower. Now that Thurman has reached sky-high movie heights, many of them most likely regret it, but they can't do anything about it. Uma is still superior in growth to those who are nearby. So, at last year's Cannes Film Festival, the actress even measured her height with Robert De Niro, and it turned out that she was taller. famous actor for a whole head.

Brooke Shields - meter 83 centimeters

Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver - meter 82 centimeters

Another victim of acceleration is Aliens star Sigourney Weaver, who, like Thurman, reached her current height at the age of twelve. But, unlike his more fortunate counterpart, in creative plan Weaver, due to her impressive size, coupled with thinness, suffered. Also in student years it was difficult for her to find a partner suitable for her height, and, with whom she made her debut in an episode in the film "Annie Hall", she did not invite her to her subsequent paintings - apparently, little Allen felt uncomfortable next to such an outstanding woman.

The actress admits that because of her height she has lost a few very good roles but does not dramatize the situation. Moreover, she was very lucky in her personal life - Sigourney has a wonderful husband, with whom they have been living together for more than thirty years.

And it becomes a problem for Lolita only when she gains excess weight- it immediately begins to seem, well, very big! Therefore, Milyavskaya has been struggling all her life with kilograms that give her corpulence, not for life, but for death, but so far - with varying success. But the good news is that the weight has not yet managed to win a complete and unconditional victory.

Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer - meter 80 centimeters

Not so long ago, the media discussed for a long time how funny Claudia looked next to Dita von Teese, whose height is only 160 centimeters.

Katya Osadchaya

Katya Osadchaya - meter 80 centimeters

On the social events this scandalous television personality can be seen from afar: firstly, her height is 180 centimeters, and secondly, she likes to appear on the screen in extravagant hats and shoes with 12-centimeter heels (unbelievable, but true: in life she doesn’t wear either ). Therefore, Katya can feel confident even next to Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. It would be foolish not to use such an outstanding growth for its intended purpose, therefore, from the age of thirteen, Osadchaya worked as a model, but even then she dreamed of a career as a TV presenter, and years later her desire came true. I never worried about growth, quite the contrary. “So it’s more convenient for me to look down on everyone,” Katya admits jokingly in an interview.

Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford - meter 77 centimeters

Schiffer is three centimeters lower, which, however, did not prevent her from becoming no less famous.

Tatyana Vasilyeva

Tatyana Vasilyeva - meter 76 centimeters

Rounding out the top ten high stars actress Tatyana Vasilyeva, to whom another Tatyana, Yegorova, the author of the book "Andrei Mironov and I" gave offensive nickname"galosh". However, Tatyana followed the path of her heroine from the film "The Most Charming and Attractive" - ​​she became "a woman with a charm that she built for herself" - and was able to turn her shortcomings into virtues. Who today dares to say that this elegant woman is too tall?
