Since ancient times, tall men have been considered the standard of masculinity and the embodiment of strength, because it is known for certain that a few hundred years ago high growth was the exception rather than the rule. Over time, men, and women, too, significantly “grew up,” but the ideal, praised for centuries and firmly embedded in people's minds, has not lost its relevance. A tall and handsome man in the eyes of a woman is an object of desire, endowed with excellent genetic data that must be passed on to the next generation. From the male point of view, tall rivals a priori were and are the most dangerous opponents in the struggle for the disposition of women. Today we will talk about the famous high actors who have achieved popularity and fame not only due to talent, but also due to their natural data associated with the mark on the stadiometer.
Robert Maillet
I would like to open today's list of high celebrities with a Hollywood actor whose growth does not just inspire respect, he is shocking. Robert Maillet is perhaps the tallest actor in the world. His height is at around 2 meters and 10 centimeters! Every basketball player could envy such a result. Already in childhood, the future Hollywood actor was distinguished by good natural data and a strong physique. In elementary school, Robert was taller than his teacher. It is worth saying that at first growth caused the embarrassment of little Myllet, but in high school it became an advantage. By the way, Maillet’s career began with wrestling. With his outstanding growth and hard training, he achieved success. The role in the film "300 Spartans" showed viewers and directors that Robert has not only outstanding growth, but also no less talent.
Rock
When we say the phrase "high actors", then Dwayne Johnson comes to mind. With a growth of 1 meter 96 centimeters, this person has a magnificent pumped up body, over which he worked hard for a long time. Interestingly, the actor got his nickname Skala thanks to classes in the gym. By the way, for many years now he has been honorably bearing the title he has received and fully justifies it. Johnson began his acting career in wrestling, where he even fought with such a legend as the Hulk Hogan. A pleasant and at the same time brutal face, coupled with an excellent physique, brought Duane to the number of sought-after actors. At present, according to Johnson himself, he appears less and less in the gym, devoting almost all his free time to films. The actor played significant and memorable roles in such masterpieces as The Fast and the Furious, The King of Scorpions, Skyscraper, Rampage and others. Growth became for him a virtue proportional to acting talent.
Hulk Hogan
If high actors are attracted by growth and talent, then Hulk Hogan can amaze the viewer with powerful energy. No, this is not the famous Marvel comic book hero Green Hulk. This is a Hollywood star whose real name is Terry Bollea. The real growth of the wrestler actor is 193 centimeters, which is very solid by today's standards. By the way, when the Hulk appeared in the world of wrestling to attract the public to battle and for greater hype on the eve of the show, the organizers exaggerated its dimensions a little, telling everyone that Hogan was more than two meters, or rather 201 centimeters.
The real debut of the high actor Hulk Hogan took place in 1982. The film "Rocky 3" brought him fame, and the episodic role of Thunderlips became a key one and helped to further rapidly move up the career ladder. By the way, it was the growth of the Hulk according to the director's idea that was supposed to help the viewer understand the "insignificance" of the physical data of the hero played by Sylvester Stallone, and at the same time his great spirit. Later, Hogan was invited to work in the series "Thunder in Paradise", and then for one of the main roles in the family comedy "Strongman Santa Claus".
Jeff Goldblum
Another man and a tall man with a capital letter is the American Jeff Goldblum. According to official figures, his height is 1 meter 94 centimeters. Along with the aforementioned Hollywood stars, who hit the movies from the world of sports, Goldblum deliberately went to the cinema. He studied the profession in a course with the famous Sanford Meisner. At the beginning of his career, Jeff starred in the horror film "The Fly", where he got the main role. By the way, it was this work that was noted by critics who awarded the Saturn Prize to a young aspiring actor. Goldblum's impeccable work in Jurassic Park, Independence Day, The Lost World, Jurassic World and other paintings is also worth noting. High-growth actor Jeff Goldblum in 2018 was honored with the honor of opening his name star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
Dmitry Scherbina
In our country, too, there are representatives of the creative profession with impressive dimensions. Among high Russian actors it is worth highlighting Dmitry Shcherbina. Those who saw him on the theater stage claim that the actor’s height is more than two meters, and they are certainly right. According to official figures, Dmitry’s height is 206 centimeters. Shcherbina was noticed by Oleg Tabakov and invited them to the famous "Snuffbox". Among the feature films in which the high actor was involved: "Admiral", "Stiletto". Dmitry also took part in many television series: "The Young Lady-Peasant", "Two Fates" and others.
Dmitry Dyuzhev
One of the highest actors in Russia can rightfully be considered Dmitry Dyuzhev. He is endowed with a growth of 195 centimeters. Works in films, theater and television projects Dyuzhev won universal love and recognition. Behind him are a lot of works appreciated by critics and the viewer of the movie: Zhmurki, Ostrov, I Don't Hurt, Pregnant, High Security Vacations. He also took part in the continuation of the project "Burnt by the Sun", which was loved by Russian viewers, along with Nikita Mikhalkov. Dmitry can be considered a true professional in his field, because his ability to transform and try on comedic roles and dramatic (deep and piercing) simply cannot but delight.
Peter Mayhew
American actor of English origin, Peter Mayhew, remembered by the audience for the role of Chewbacca in "Star Wars", according to some unverified data, is the owner of growth as much as 221 centimeters. Other sources deny this and argue that the growth of the actor is 2 meters 18 centimeters. However, concrete truthful information about the dimensions of Mayhew is not yet available. It is worth noting that only one famous actor is listed in the Guinness Book of Records because of his height and this is not the favorite of many Chewbacca.
World record
Today, Richard Keele is the unbeatable holder of a world record for growth among famous actors. Its dimensions were really surprising. The growth of the actor during his life was 2 meters 18 centimeters, which is why he got into the Guinness Book of Records. Unfortunately, Kil died in 2014, but the actor left a huge legacy to the viewer after his departure. He starred in more than 70 projects in film and television. Among the significant ones are The Spy Who Loved Me, The Lunar Wanderer. Perhaps one of the most memorable roles of the highest actor in the world is Jaws in James Bond.
