What is a source of pride for a man may well be death for a woman. Or, at least, a reason for grief. For example, height. Tall men are called handsome, and women are called big men and big men, and these are still the most harmless nicknames. Of course, with the advent of fashion for tall models, a girl whose height is beyond the average can find a place for herself on the catwalk. 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 - she is only 13 centimeters short of two meters. Maria admits that her height causes her some inconvenience. And if she has already gotten used to the amazed 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 the right size, it turns out that they simply don’t sew them on legs of this length. But Sharapova is not worried about this; on the contrary, she likes to emphasize her height with high heels.

Brigitte Nielsen

Brigitte Nielsen – meter 85 centimeters

But Brigitte Nielsen, or, as she is also called, “Red Sonja,” for whom the issue of clothing is not so pressing (it seems that most of the time a beauty with appetizing curves prefers to do without it), experiences certain difficulties when 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. But for a real man - such as Sylvester Stallone, for example - it is difficult to come to terms with this fact. But Bridget, calling her ex-husbands weaklings, it seems, have 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. Another reason for pride is the fact that her name was included in the Guinness Book of Records - Bridget got there as the tallest leading actress.

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman - meter 83 centimeters

Quentin Tarantino's favorite actress, contrary to popular belief, is not the tallest among the stars, her height is meter 83 centimeters, and her legs are meter 8 centimeters. It is interesting that she grew to her current height - more precisely, to 180 centimeters - at the age of twelve, which did not contribute to her popularity among her classmates, who unanimously teased the girl with her tower. Now that Thurman has reached sky-high film heights, many of them most likely regret it, but they can’t do anything. Uma still surpasses in height 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 the whole head.

Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields - meter 83 centimeters

The beauty Brooke Shields, whose height is meter 83 centimeters, is also not suitable for every partner - most modern men They look unattractive next to such a lady. So the actress has to walk along... trenches specially dug for her in the sand, as was the case on the set of the film “The Blue Lagoon,” so as not to look taller than the leading actor. Unlike many ladies who have complexes about height, Brooke considers it to be her advantage. “As far as I can remember,” she opens up to reporters, “I’ve always been tall. And I’m proud of it – you must agree, I have something to celebrate, because it was my long legs that brought me to Broadway!”

Eva Herzigova – meter 83 centimeters

The Czech top model and actress is also a rather big girl. And since she is 1 meter 83 centimeters tall and weighs only 60 kilograms, she seems even taller than she actually is. Add to this the stiletto heels that Eva simply loves to wear, and you will understand that she is quite pleased with her height. Although 83 meters plus heels is a lot even for a top model.

Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver - meter 82 centimeters

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

The actress admits that due to her height she lost several very good roles, but does not dramatize the situation. Moreover, she was very lucky in personal life– Sigourney has a wonderful husband, with whom she has lived together for more than thirty years.

Lolita Milyavskaya

Previously, it seemed to viewers that high growth was due to an optical illusion - next to Alexander Tsekalo it was not difficult to visually “stretch out”. But it turns out that the singer herself is by no means short - her height is 181 centimeters. And he becomes a problem for Lolita only when she dials excess weight– she immediately begins to seem very big! Therefore, Milyavskaya has been fighting tooth and nail with the weight that makes her look corpulent all her life, 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

The supermodel's height - especially compared to the ladies mentioned above - is not so tall, only 180 centimeters. On the podium, her height served Claudia well - she was able to become one of the first in her profession. But in life, Schiffer has a hard time: at social parties, she towers over other guests - both men and women - like the Eiffel Tower over Paris. Not so long ago, the media spent a long time discussing how funny Claudia looked next to Dita von Teese, who is only 160 centimeters tall.

Katya Osadchaya

Katya Osadchaya – meter 80 centimeters

At social events, this scandalous TV personality can be seen from afar: firstly, her height is 180 centimeters, and secondly, she likes to appear on screen in extravagant hats and shoes with 12-centimeter heels (incredible, but true: in life, neither does not wear anything else). Therefore, Katya can feel confident even next to Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. It would be stupid not to use such outstanding growth for its intended purpose, so 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 wish came true. I was never worried about growth; quite the opposite. “This way it’s more convenient for me to look down on everyone,” Katya jokingly admits in an interview.

Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford - meter 77 centimeters

Schiffer is three centimeters shorter, which, however, did not stop her from becoming no less famous. However, it seems that the world-famous top model also had a complex at one time because of her tall height and only came to terms with it over the years. “With age,” she says in an interview, “self-confidence comes and you can feel comfortable in your own skin.”

Tatiana Vasilyeva

Tatyana Vasilyeva – meter 76 centimeters

Rounding out the top ten highest stars is actress Tatyana Vasilyeva, who was given the offensive nickname “galosh” by another Tatyana, Egorova, the author of the book “Andrei Mironov and I,” for her height and some external awkwardness. 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 advantages. Who today would dare to say that this elegant woman is too tall?

Nikolay Valuev - 2 meters 13 centimeters. Perhaps Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev is not the best A 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 the sledgehammer”. Valuev was always tall: in kindergarten he was head and shoulders above his classmates, and at school he played on the basketball team (he became the champion of Russia among youths younger age) and was involved in athletics - discus throwing. Now that the athlete’s growth has exceeded all, even his wildest, 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 furniture in nearby hotels and then transport it to his room. The boxer has to have shoes of size 51 (!) made to order, and recently it turned out that the championship belt... became too small for his figure, and a new one was made especially for Valuev. It is interesting that Nikolai’s wife Galina is in full accordance with the statement that big men They love miniature women, barely reaching their husband’s shoulder. That doesn’t stop her from declaring that she loves every inch of her husband.

Mikhail Prokhorov -2 meters 4 centimeters. Yielding the palm to Nikolai Valuev, Russian billionaire and politician Mikhail Prokhorov, however, remains one of the tallest 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 presidential elections in Russia, where Prokhorov put forward 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 Vladimir Vysotsky’s song “The Giraffe is Big, He Knows Best” to him.

Vitali Klitschko - 2 meters. Vitali Klitschko also complains about his height, which is Everyday life causes him a lot of inconvenience: he, like Valuev, needs big beds and cars, otherwise he simply won’t fit there. But in the ring he gains an advantage over his opponents - here Vitaly simply has no equal.

Klitschko Wladimir Klitschko - meter 98 centimeters. But Vladimir Klitschko, whom nature has also not offended by his height (he is only two centimeters inferior to his older brother), does not consider it 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 - meter 96 centimeters. English film actor Christopher Lee's height helped him play representatives of evil spirits - in particular, Count Dracula - Lee has 69 (!) horror films to his name. Apparently, when played by an actor of such stature, vampires and ghouls became even more terrifying. In total, Lee has 290 films to his credit; he is even listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the actor whose name is listed in the credits of the largest number of films. But at the beginning of his acting career, things were not so good for Lee: directors willingly took him into their films, but gave him only supporting roles - he was head and shoulders above the leading actors.

Vince Vaughn - meter 96 centimeters. Incredible, but true: the palm in terms of height does not belong to Hollywood - its representative, actor Vince Vaughn, with a height of 196 centimeters, is only in sixth position in our rating. Perhaps Vaughn could have grown bigger, but a back injury prevented him from future star received at the age of seventeen. Execution characteristic roles tall height is not a hindrance; rather, on the contrary, it gives them piquancy.

Philip Kirkorov - meter 95 centimeters. The tallest star in show business is, of course, Philip Kirkorov. On stage he looks like a king, but in everyday life, in his own words, he would like to be a little lower. It turns out that the singer's extravagant clothes - rhinestones, feathers, sparkles and fringe - are due precisely to his high stature. “Western couturiers,” complains Philip Bedrosovich, “are counting on people of average height, so it’s very difficult for me to find something decent.” For the same reason, Kirkorov is forced to ride in a limousine - he simply does not fit into other cars.

Clint Eastwood is 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. Thanks to growth in early years Eastwood looked older than his age, and thanks to his attractiveness, he was popular with girls, which allowed him to lose his virginity at the age of 14. However, he gets along well with the female sex even now: his current wife, a former television journalist, Dina Ruiz is 35 years younger than Eastwood.

Alexander Marshall - meter 93 centimeters. The singer Alexander Marshal, whose height is 193 centimeters, can also be called a real Russian hero - or marshal. His stage name is Marshal - Alexander Minkov (this is real name singer) justifies one hundred percent: tall, slender (even despite the Lately kilograms), oblique fathoms in the shoulders. They say he is even bigger in life than on the screen. The only detail that spoils the overall pleasant impression is that Alexander smokes thin women’s cigarettes, and even complains: “I just can’t quit.”

Sergey Zverev Sergey Zverev - meter 87 centimeters. The star, who is constantly in shock, was endowed by nature with a height that is far from small - 187 centimeters, but Sergei also increases it with the help of shoes and boots on 20-centimeter platforms, which raises him to the level - or even higher - of Philip Kirkorov. Well, taking into account Zverev’s inherent thinness and grace, he makes a truly mind-blowing impression. However, this applies not only to the height, but also to the style of the star; indeed, this is something you rarely see!
