Famous people with impressive height gain so many advantages in the industry. Models snag more attention and opportunities for their above-average height, while athletes earn money for standing heads above the rest. Although models and athletes are well-known for their incredible height, you may be surprised that there’re many singers and actors whose heights are second to none.
In fact, there are many big names in music and movie that are underrated when speaking of height. They tend to always appear with taller people, or the rotation doesn’t highlight their superb height. Besides, some of them have outstanding features, be they cute faces or chubby figures, overshadowing their tallness.

Idris Elba regularly outshines his fellow performers on television as characters like Stringer Bell, DCI John Luther, and many more because of his strength and presence. And you might be startled to learn that Elba's on-screen character isn't simply metaphorical; he is frequently physically bigger than many of his on-screen contemporaries. For those of you unfamiliar with the metric system, the London-born actor stands at 1.9 meters, or slightly over 6 feet 2 inches. We can't say for sure, but it's possible that his DJ nickname - DJ Big Driis, stems from his height.#10 Bo Burnham

Bo Burnham made history with his 30-minute comedy special for Comedy Central, becoming the youngest person who did that. At 6 feet 5 inches tall, he might also have been the tallest. He claimed that his growth spurt, which occurred during his sophomore year, occurred when he was still quite young. Burnham never played basketball because he preferred acting to sports, but in 2021 he was cast as the 6' 9" basketball star Larry Bird in an HBO television series.
