How Tall is Ryan Reynolds Compared to the Average American Actor?
The average height of an average American male is 5 feet 9½ inches. A study also revealed that it is a figure that is slightly higher at 5 feet 10 inches when male Hollywood stars become a subject for consideration.
With that being said, it would interest the media and public to know that at 6 feet 2 inches tall, Ryan Reynolds is taller than the average American male or actor by at least 5 inches. The actor once jokingly said that although he was 6 feet 2 inches tall, he had the face of someone who was 5 feet 10 inches tall.
While it is true that being tall does not exactly guarantee the success of an actor in a very exacting, demanding, and challenging industry like Hollywood, it is also an unspoken criterion required from leading male actors, especially in action movie genres.
After all, fans of Hollywood tend to appreciate and like their heroes big and strong, and their villains even bigger and more imposing. So it would be unreasonable to discount height as an advantage when movie roles are being handed out by movie producers and showrunners.
The importance or rather, the significance of height is made all the more prominent by the fact that Hollywood has advanced to the point where they can make any actor look taller or bigger than they actually are by capturing footage from a low angle or setting up sets with short door frames, all in a bid to perpetuate the image of a big and hulking character.
There have also been instances when certain actors have shot cushion scenes with an additional layer of cushion added to make the shorter actors look as tall as the characters they are supposed to be playing.
One can imagine that Ryan Reynolds has most likely not been put through the hassle of such optical illusions because there really aren’t many Hollywood actors as tall as or taller than he is whenever he shows up on the set of a movie.
Ryan Reynolds’ Height Compares Favorably to Those of His Male Compatriots in Hollywood
As previously mentioned, there aren’t many actors taller than Reynolds, and film producers rarely have to come up with tricks to augment his height because, let’s face it, at 6 feet 2 inches tall, why would they?
However, it is no longer an unheard-of phenomenon for fans and viewers to compare the physical stats, such as weight and height, of their favorite Hollywood stars to those of their co-stars. Ryan Reynolds is not immune to this comparison. One might ask, how does Ryan Reynolds’ height compare to the heights of stars like Ryan Gosling, Colin Jost, and Shawn Levy?
Ryan Reynolds’ Height is a Few Inches Taller Than Ryan Gosling
Born in London, Ontario, Canada on November 12, 1980, Ryan Gosling, best known for his movie roles in La La Land and The Notebook amongst many others, is officially 6 feet or 183 cm tall. Some publications have been generous with an additional quarter inch, but it still means that Gosling is still a couple of inches shorter than his Canadian compatriot and namesake, Reynolds.
As previously mentioned, Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling are both Canadian-born Hollywood stars, but that is not where the similarity between these actors ends. Both actors also intimately know a certain actress named Blake Lively, with Gosling dating the Hollywood star actress in 2010 while Reynolds is currently married to and has three beautiful daughters with her.
How Tall is Ryan Reynolds Compared to Colin Jost?
Whenever the height of an average American actor is being discussed, Colin Jost is one actor whose name comes to mind. Born in Staten Island, New York City, United States of America, on June 29, 1982, the American comedian and actor stands relatively tall at 5 feet 10 inches or 179 cm. However, that height figure is still some way shorter than Reynolds’ 6 feet 2 inches frame.
The comedian, who is famous for starring on Saturday Night Live TV Show, also remarkably has someone in common with Ryan Reynolds. Jost and Reynolds’ ex-wife, Scarlet Johanson, tied the knot in 2020.
Ryan Reynolds’s Height is Taller Than Shawn Levy’s By 2 Inches
Canadian director, producer, and actor, Shawn Levy is another Canadian Hollywood star whose height has been compared to that of his countryman, Ryan Reynolds. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on July 23, 1968, Levy’s height has officially been placed at 6 feet or 183 cm. This figure varies for various publications with some claiming that he is not quite six feet tall but instead stands at 5 feet 11 inches.
His official height of 6 feet is exactly the same as Ryan Gosling’s but a full 2 inches shorter than that of Reynolds’ 6 feet 2 inches. Shawn Levy is married to his wife of many years, Serena Levy and the couple has four children together.
How Tall is Ryan Reynolds Compared to His Current Wife and His Ex-Wife?
Height comparisons between married celebrity couples are not uncommon and Ryan Reynolds is no stranger to these comparisons due to his marital history with two celebrity actresses.
Reynolds’ height has been compared to that of his ex-wife, Scarlett Johanson, a woman he was married to from 2008 to 2011. Scarlett, best known for her portrayal of the MCU character Black Widow, stands at a rather diminutive 5 feet 3 inches or 160 cm making her almost one foot shorter than her ex-husband.
On the other hand, Reynolds’ current wife and mother of his three daughters, actress Blake Lively, is far closer to her husband in height, standing at 5 feet 10 inches or 178 cm tall. That imposing height, for a woman no less, is closer to her husband’s 6 feet 2 inches than that of Scarlett Johanson’s small frame of 5 feet 3 inches.
Ryan Reynolds’s Weight is Optimal For His Height
A single look at Ryan Reynolds will reveal one important feature of his physical stats and that is that the actor likes to keep fit. His muscle-filled body weight of 84 kg (185 lbs) tells the story of a man who likes to visit the gym and who is also actively involved in other forms of physical exercise.
Those gym muscles are revealed in his body measurements of 45-15-32 inches (114-38-81 cm). Reynolds wears a shoe size of 10.5 (US) while his handsome Canadian facial features include light brown hair and hazel colored eyes.
