    I'm an Associate Editor on BuzzFeed's Pop Culture team who spends my days fangirling over all my favorite TV shows and movies.

    Celebrity heights are one of those things that can be weirdly hard to judge. You see someone onscreen a million times and somehow never realize they’re way taller than you imagined.So, naturally, I went down a rabbit hole looking up the heights of famous women — and some of these genuinely surprised me.

    Here are 23 celebrity women who are probably taller than you think:

    1. Gwendoline Christie is 6'3".
