14 Awesome Celebrities That Are 5'7 Tall - Next Luxury (2024)

You wouldn’t think height would be a big issue these days, but that apparently isn’t the case. Despite short king season being in session, women still love a tall man. For men, there doesn’t seem to be as big of a deal, although statistics show they prefer a woman who is shorter, be that an inch or a foot. When it comes to what is tall or small, that varies on the person, but 5’7 is generally seen as the middle point. This is especially relevant when it comes to Hollywood. Celebrities that are 5’7 tall are favored over other heights.

While there is no set rule, most male celebrities in the movie industry are 5’7 or taller. This is also the global average height of men, which makes these actors that bit more relatable. For women, this is much smaller, with women averaging around 5’4. That said, many leading ladies, like their male counterparts, are 5’7 or taller. Of course, there are exceptions, such as actor Danny DeVito and actress Salma Hayek. But most actors and actresses are on the taller side.

Along with movie stars, this list of celebrities that are 5’7 tall includes sports stars, musicians, and other famous faces. While some are slightly taller or shorter, all these celebs can be classified as 5’7.

1. Tom Cruise

4. Sandra Bullock

12. Michelle Pfeiffer

For someone who has been acting for four decades, you would expect Michelle Pfeiffer’s filmography to be chock full of movies. That isn’t the case.
