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

Maria Sharapova
1 meter 88 centimeters

Her height, which is also great for the modeling business, allows Maria to realize herself in different directions. Of course, her sporting achievements are difficult to overshadow, 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 her choice of shoes. "IN ordinary life I very rarely wear high heels. “I’m already very tall,” Masha once admitted.

Ekaterina Varnava
1 meter 81 centimeters

The Comedy Woman participant initially saw herself as a star ballroom dancing. But during training she injured her back, and with dance career I had to say goodbye.

One day during dinner, Khrustalev said: “Have you finally realized that I’m hitting on you?” To which Katya replied: “You’re too small to hit on me.” But Dmitry was not taken aback: “And we haven’t seen such tall ones!” - the colleague retorted. And although Katya and Dmitry eventually broke up, many believe that they were a very beautiful couple.

The actress’s appearance also 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 her character,” the artist once admitted.

Liliya Sharlovskaya

Dmitry Guberniev
2 meters

With such height, Dmitry’s mass is 104 kilograms, which, of course, makes his sports comments very significant.

Selecting clothes for a person taller than two meters can turn into a long procedure, but Philip is not complaining. On the contrary, he is trying to get rid of a huge number of things. At some point, Philip decided to sell designer items, many of which he had never worn. 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 designed for growth.

Liliya Sharlovskaya

Nikolay Valuev
2 meters 13 centimeters

Nikolai is one of those who is unlikely to ever be able to blend in with the crowd. But the athlete, actor and deputy also have rather big problems. For example, Nikolai’s shoe size is 51. And this means that everything - from classic boots to slippers - he has to sew to order. It’s not easy for Nikolai to move around the world. It is quite possible that airline 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.
