Top 10 People in the Under 6’ Club

This list features famous people who are just shy of 6 feet in height.

Some individuals may measure under 6 feet for much of the day but may exceed that height at certain times due to vertebral expansion while they sleep or rest. This happens because gravity does not vertically compress their spine from head to feet during those periods.

1. Ethan Dolan

   

   Ethan Dolan claims to be about 5'11.75", which is just 0.25 inches under 6 feet. This equates to 182.245 cm. He's under 6 feet for much of the day, but given his height is just barely below, it's logical to assume he might be 6 feet or taller when asleep, as gravity doesn't weigh him down. However, during his waking hours, he's under 6 feet for much of the day. Ethan is the tallest of the Dolan Twins, with Grayson Dolan measuring about 179.1 cm, or 5'10.5".

2. Ivana Trump

   

   She was about 182.1 cm, which is roughly 5'11.7" - enough that she may have been over 6' when asleep. She was a member of the Trump family as well as a skier, author, and model. R.I.P. (1949 - 2022).

3. Elle MacPherson

   

   Elle Macpherson is an Australian model, businesswoman, television host, and actress. She is known for her record five cover appearances for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, beginning in the 1980s, which led to her nickname "The Body," coined by Time magazine in 1989.... read more

   Some sources say Elle MacPherson is 181.6 cm tall (5'11.5"), but according to her, she was 6 feet tall when she was 18, which suggests she has lost more than half an inch over the years. However, she reportedly regains that height through yoga and other exercises. Many sources still state that she is 6 feet tall, so it's possible that 181.6 cm is the shortest she has ever been, indicating she is often taller and closer to a full 6 feet.

4. Kim Namjoon

   

   Sources say Kim Namjoon is around 181 cm (5'11.26"), though he has claimed to be around 6 feet tall. This height fluctuation is common due to changes in posture throughout the day caused by gravity. He is the tallest member of BTS.

5. Uma Thurman

   

   Uma Karuna Thurman is an American actress and model. She has starred in a wide range of films, including romantic comedies, dramas, science fiction, and action movies.

   Uma Thurman stands a little over 180 cm, around 181 cm (5'11.26"). She is very close to the 6-foot mark but just falls short of joining the club.

   Taylor Swift's best and most recent measurements indicate she's 5'9.25" (175.895 cm), meaning she falls 2.75 inches short of 6 feet. It's apparent she's slightly taller in the morning and shorter by the end of the day, which could explain why some sources claim she's 5'10". It would've been a big deal if she'd reached 6 feet, especially for one of the world's most prolific pop stars.

8. Boris Karloff

   

   William Henry Pratt (November 23, 1887 - February 2, 1969), better known by his stage name Boris Karloff, was an English actor who achieved lasting fame through his roles in classic horror films.

    Beckham was the first Englishman to win a league title in four different countries, including PSG in 2013. He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2021. His accomplishments, both individually and with major clubs, are too numerous to list. From Manchester United to Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and brief loan stints at A.C. Milan, Beckham finished his career at PSG.

    Despite my dislike for modern PSG due to its ownership by a Qatari billionaire who spends heavily to win Ligue 1 titles but has never won the Champions League, Beckham's natural talent, high intelligence, and love for the game truly made him one of the greatest to ever play soccer.
