Handsome, talented, charismatic, funny, tall.
Ok, enough about me.
Let's talk about Brad Pitt's Height.
I'm 16 years deep into reading about how tall Brad Pitt is and you know what, I understand
exactly how George Clooney felt when he said
"Brad's tall.
He's like Six One.
It's irritating."
Brad's height is a bit of an enigma.
There were rumours in the Washington Post that somebody saw Brad write his height down on
an audition form as 5 foot 10.
Whilst the veracity of those rumours remain elusive, I can tell you I've seen
with my very own eyes a magazine from Pitt's earlier career in which he wrote down some details
about himself, including his height.
5 foot 11.
Burt Reynolds once said no actor is 5 foot 11, most would simply round up and claim six foot
But maybe Pitt's a humble guy and he was telling the truth about how tall he was...
His age though?...born in 65.
Everybody fibs.
My age?
41
Brad Pitt's Height is also a bit of a rabbit hole.
When you've been falling down it as long as I have, you start to question the reality
of it all.
There's many red flags and distractions along the way.
For instance, it's oh so easy to point a finger at Brad's footwear in Spy Game,
and assume he got his inspiration from someone like Robert Downey Junior.
Come on, it's the movies.
Do You honestly think a screen legend like Robert DeNiro is walking about like this
in public on his days off?
The truth is though, Pitt did go through a phase of wearing a decent cuban-sized heel
but I don't think he really cares that much about how thick his shoes are.
Let's put it this way, he's no Sylvester Stallone.
Pitt has fooled many a people into believeing he's tall, and even I was hoodwinked
back in 2005, listing Brad taller than he claimed....But I'm
Not the only one.
Brad Pitt's height can take you on a roller coaster of emotion.
You start out with that Washington Post rumour of 5ft 10 and you list him at that mark
You've probably seen him in Interview With the Vampire and you've thought, he's barely taller
than Tom Cruise.
How can he be anything but 5ft 10.
Then you see some books and articles about how Tom Cruise wore 3-inch lifts in his boots.
So you start to wonder and waver and before you know it, you've bumped him up, to
5 foot 11 and a half
The almost Six Foot club.
Done, finished...but no
You then see him with guys like Eric Bana, Sting, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling and your
sitting there scratching your head wondering - have I short-changed him.
So with your height deduction senses completely bamboozled, you raise Brad up
Over Six foot.
Ok, maybe that's a bit too much.
Let's Pull those reins in and back that height down a notch.
Eventually, as confused as ever and having now gone bleary-eyed looking at thousands
of photos and every movie he's ever made, you have a moment of clarity and come
to the side of common sense.
You list him at that safe figure of 5 foot 11, the one Brad himself claimed.
Then relieved and to take a break from the subject of height, you make a rookie mistake.
You start pontificating and wondering why does Brad never seem to age.
So you fire up your favourite search engine and start typing in "How old is Brad Pitt".
A figure springs up in front of your eyes, which piques your interest.
You then, I wonder, is Brad shrinking in height... and that's you
pulled straight back in...you now find yourself tumbling back down the rabbit
hole that is Brad Pitt's Height.
Irritating, isn't it!
