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.
The Top Ten
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".

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).

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, leading to her nickname "The Body", coined by Time in 1989.

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.

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.

Taylor Swift's best and most recent measurements indicate she's 5'11" (180.34 cm), meaning she falls 1 inch 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 under 5'11". It would have been a big deal if she'd reached 6 feet, especially for one of the world's most prolific pop stars.

David Beckham is truly one of the best midfielders to play the beautiful game. He was a 1999 UEFA Champions League winner and a six-time Premier League title winner in the 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003 seasons. He holds a career record of 18 free kicks scored in the Premier League. Beckham also won two FA Cups with Manchester United in 1996 and 1999, along with two MLS titles with LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012, as well as two Supporters' Shields in 2010 and 2011.

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.
