The big unsolved mystery of the fitness corner of YouTube (along with other great mysteries like What’s in Greg Doucette’s secret sauce? and Is Noel Deyzel a robot?) can remain a mystery for all eternity and we’d never be wiser for it.

For those that don’t know, Vin Diesel is 6 feet tall. I’m assuming that’s how they’d measure up Dominic Toretto too. How tall he is doesn’t really matter. The guy must be able to bench press a refrigerator whilst delivering the speech about family. The Fast & Furious films are all about spectacle. That’s why Dom is how he is – a force of nature that you wouldn’t measure in centimeters. A tornado isn’t a thing that you’d measure in centimeters.

My guess would be that he’s about average height for his age, so I could look up the median height for a teenage boy in the US and that would give me a rough idea. However, the range of height for any individual of a given age is huge, so it’s not possible to be more specific than that. He doesn’t look particularly tall or short in the group photos I’ve seen of him. As for the other boy in the video, I have no idea. Perhaps they’ll make a ‘getting to know us’ style video with fun facts about themselves at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They’ve built their brand on the content they produce, which is much healthier than if they were to build their brand on personal trivia about themselves.

Toph Beifong's height is never officially confirmed in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.' However, she appears to be shorter than her peers, leading fans to speculate she around 5 feet tall.

The History of The Hobbit, a massive compilation of drafts and notes by Tolkien, does not give an exact height for Thorin but describes parameters for the Dwarves that are consistently adhered to throughout his work. In the early drawings by Tolkien himself of the Dwarves, they are depicted as being quite short. This is his authorial intention and so is the ‘closest’ to an answer for their height that we have.
A film would perhaps choose to make the leader of the thirteen dwarves the tallest of the lot to signify his status. That would be a choice though, intended to serve the purposes of the film. Tolkien used prose to bring out the individual personalities of the dwarves in the book, so the ‘real’ height of the dwarves is that of the book, but the ‘effective’ height of them in films and plays is a choice that serves the medium’s purposes. Knowing the source material and the reasons for changes helps one appreciate a character’s transition from one medium to another.

Great reminiscence! Magnús Scheving is 183 cm tall and therefore very fit, in a way he is Sportacus. The character was conceived by Scheving who has a fit lifestyle based on his athletic background and his own fitness philosophy. His daily routine at the Magnús Magnusson Studio, where Vikings was recorded, consisted of rehearsed and spontaneous actions and of constant movement and activity.
Together with the movement of play, Magnús likely got different kinds of training. His diet was also strict but included a lot of whole food which gave him plenty of energy to keep going all day long. His genetic predisposition to be tall and athletic, his lifelong involvement in sports and his job as Sportacus all combined to make him the fit man he is today.

One could argue that his height does not matter because his true stature is measured in ounces of liquor. The man is of great volume not height. Only the height of his glass matters, is it high or low. That will tell you his state of mind and the chances of success for any given plan.
A full glass indicates calm, control, a plan unfolding satisfactorily. An empty glass or one pouring over indicates distress, things unraveling, near collapse. Perhaps we should be measuring Sunnyvale’s stability with Julian-analysis instruments calibrated to the Sunnyvale drinkometer rather than with cumbersome tape measures and a variety of other anthropometric instruments. Food for thought.

I have always wondered whether King had some larger-than-life, almost mythical figure in mind for Maitland, someone like a John Henry-sized, blue-collar giant who is kind and has great physical strength. Maitland is tall, for one thing, and that height along with the rest of his physical appearance makes him a kind of folk-lore figure, a sort of Everyman who is being put through some kind of extraordinary test in this somewhat extraordinary place. In grounding such a figure in the brutal reality of the electric chair, King locates the mythic tale of Maitland within the particularly American genre of the tall tale, and that is where the real power of the story resides. In other words, the fact that Maitland is tall is not just descriptive, it’s also rather generic, a kind of signals to the reader that the story we’re reading is a moral fable of sorts, in addition to a grim and powerful prison story.

To be honest, the stats don’t matter that much when talking about a character as great as this. She is very determined, talented and quite calm and collected. But the calm collected model can go from cold to very passionate in a second!
This age is irrelevant. She is a strategist, a model, a competitor. This age is but a footnote to her wider role within the Galar region and its themes of performance and legacy.

One of the fun little details I thought up for the article is Lara Croft’s height. In the original games she was 5’9″, a very athletic, almost cartoonish, tall and large breasted heroine, made up of many large polygonal triangles that formed her legs in particular. The 2013 reboot of the games started Lara off at around 5’6″, making her movements feel a lot more grounded. The films have her at varying heights. Angelina Jolie’s Lara was closer to the classic Croft height, while Alicia Vikander played her as somewhat petite. While fans of the character have debated over whether Lara should be taller to better fit her ‘indomitable explorer’ type, or shorter and more of an underdog now that she’s been rebooted, I’m just pleased that in both cases her character manages to shine regardless of the decision they’ve made with her physicality, whether that means her leaping up and running off in the distance or crawling through the mud, inches from a deadly enemies’ face.
