Why is Jack Reacher, 6ft 5in tall, being played on film by Tom Cruise, who (allegedly) is no more than 5ft 8in tall without his shoes on?
Well film is an illusion anyway, but more importantly, according to a recent Times interview with Lee Child, there is only a 4 inch gap between the tallest & shortest members of the current Hollywood A list (male division). They are all less than 6 feet tall (assuming that Cruise is the shortest of them all).
Next question: what is the height distribution of the women on the A list?
The internet is awash with speculation & hints about how to look taller on film, but when in doubt concentrate on looking at the length of the rib cage – that is a dead giveaway.
