This website conducted a survey: Celebrities who are not honest about their height | Culture

Experiencing physical anxiety due to height is not something I’ve ever encountered, unlike the frustration I feel when my legs are cramped in a plane seat. This realization dawned on me after stumbling upon celebheights.com, which sparked a mix of excitement and anger.

In 2019, while working as a cadet journalist in Hasting, I found myself banned from a brewery tour for lacking size 13 protective boots. Sitting alone in the rest room, cursing my oversized feet, I came up with a wild theory involving an aspiring prime minister hoarding the last size 13s. That’s when I turned to celebheights.com and discovered a whole new world.

The site’s strict mission statement, promising height estimates based on various sources like quotes, resumes, photo comparisons, and face-to-face encounters, deeply impressed me.

celebheights.com isn’t just a database of celebrities’ heights; it’s a lively community of height-obsessed keyboard warriors.

At its core is Admin Rob, the self-appointed judge who meticulously assesses and debates celebrities’ heights, down to the quarter-inch for some.

Launched in 2004, the site gained prominence after being featured in the (Criminally Short-Lived) Mystery Show Podcast in 2015, revealing the passion and dedication of its users.

The debates on the site can get intense, especially when it comes to celebrities like Mariah Carey, whose height listing has attracted over a thousand comments over the years.

Rob’s commitment to personally verify celebrities’ heights by comparing them to his own 5’8″ stature is a testament to his dedication.

Even celebrities whose heights have been confirmed by Rob can still spark debates among users on the site.

The speculation and arguments about heights continue unabated on the site, with Rob’s firm belief that these debates can go on indefinitely.

When not engaged in heated debates online, the site’s moderators undertake field research, often interacting with celebrities to verify their heights.

The height controversies even extend to celebrities with verified measurements, as seen in the case of actor Brendan Fraser, whose height listing underwent revisions despite Rob’s personal verification.

Commenters on the site provide diverse perspectives, with some offering valuable insights based on personal encounters with celebrities.

Even celebrities like Danny DeVito, who humorously downplays his height, find themselves embroiled in debates over their true measurements, making the height discussions a truly engaging saga.
