Google: How Tall is.....

I don't know how I lived before IMDB and Google.

I was watching The Hudsucker Proxy last week. The plot was eh. The costumes austere. The Coen brothers directed and produced it.
Much like True Grit, they take a medicore plot and make it fun to watch. As I recently learned (from my last post, you see) the word auteur, the directors unique stamp. I can use it here, with the Coens way of creating films that you can tell are their very own.

Anyway - back to the Hudsucker proxy. Tim Robbins (ew) & Paul Newman (the salad dressing guy - ps I'm totally kidding by labeling him that) are standing face to face.
Google images didn't find exactly what I wanted, but look at them side by side.



Tim Robbins looks HUGE!
so I had to Google... "How tall is Tim Robbins?"

6'5

WOW!!!!

So that sent me on a roll...

How tall is Paul Newman. 5'10 (wow my height, he's less sexy in my book now, something I never thought would be possible after seeing Butch Cassidy)

Kobe Bryant 6'6 (shorter than I thought but still quite nice)

Vince Vaughn 6'5 (he always looked tall to me, so I finally decided to learn exactly how tall)

...and I decided I needed to get back to the movie and continue to take in their enticing costumes.


Well now... I can't watch anything without not only IMDBing them to make sure I know all other characters they have played, but now I have to know how tall they are. Sometimes it's a shock!!!

Jon Hamm 5'10 (lame)

Mos Def 5'9

Zack de la Rocha 5'10

Will Farrel 6'3

Greg Kinnear 5'10


These ones popped in my head the next day at work so I had to check.



She's 5'8 - awesome
He's 6'1 - acceptable

I can’t even lie and say this is the last one I promise - no promises.
Zach (2nd on left) - 5'10
Tom (2nd on right) - 5'11

  1. Have you been to a wax museum? They are so much fun because you get to see how tall famous people are in real life! (George Washington and JFK were really tall!)
