To be fair, this one is probably unsurprising. However, did you know that Gwendoline Christie frequently emphasizes her statuesque height by wearing skyscraper heels? According to Vogue, she was 5 feet 7 inches tall at the age of 12. “I was 6’1” [tall] when I was 14. I then gained a couple of inches when I was around 18 years old. I’ve increased my height to six feet three inches and a quarter.” She’d tower over almost every Hollywood leading man.
