Gwendoline christie how tall is she

By Tom Lamont. L ittle about the actor and sometime model Gwendoline Christie is strictly conventional: she describes herself as someone who sees a norm and wants to sprint in the opposite direction. Even so, in the hours before we meet, Christie has really outdone herself. The year-old is just back from New York fashion week, where she stunned a Manhattan crowd silly by walking the runway dressed in a huge, floral, giant, rainbow-coloured What was that thing, I ask?

It made me feel extremely present and stately. To drastically distil a two-decade career, Christie has tended to take acting jobs playing either royals or royal bodyguards.

Between came the name-making bodyguard roles: an armour-clad protectress in Game Of Thrones and stormtrooper Captain Phasma in two of the Star Wars movies. Appropriately, her conversational style is a little bit regent, a little bit rank and file. Her laugh — the loudest in any room — would not be out of place in a military barracks. When Christie finds something funny she angles back her head and howls at the ceiling. How does something or someone not conform?

What is seen as wrong with not conforming? Christie is very tall, 6ft 3in in flats. She first broke the 6ft barrier when she was 14, a schoolgirl in the South Downs. Of course she finds the subject dull. Was she more of a conformer, I ask, when she was a kid?

Schools are funny things. She did not fit in. As a teenager Christie had offbeat interests, in performance art, foreign films — things not well catered for in rural s England. She read a lot of imported fashion magazines.

She has spoken in the past about being bullied at school. Make the best of it. Her father was a salesman and her mother a housewife. Christie left home when she was 18 to spend a year as a volunteer at Central Saint Martins in London, assisting the MA fashion design students. Actresses seemed to me to be classically beautiful. At that time they seemed to be incredibly thin. Unfortunately, her promising career was cut short after she suffered a debilitating spinal injury at age 11 that strained all the muscles in her spine.

Only Madonna could get away with spanking Brienne of Tarth. Okay, maybe Jamie Lannister is a close-second. Christie — who is a life-long Star Wars fan — had aggressively pursued a part in the new Star Wars trilogy since the time she found out it was being made.

The only problem — the character was originally meant to be male. Nevertheless, Christie impressed the casting directors enough to choose her for portraying the character.

In regards to G. In response to a question by the interviewer about her earliest impressions of Star Wars, Christie said:. Just being shown it at age 6 was like opening the door to another world — a world that continues to be iconic all these years later. You can catch hear it at the end of this YouTube video from NewsFeed. Has strong independent mindset, and good hairstyle. Who would have known that Brienne of Tarth had a thing for The Hound? By the way, her favorite actress is Courteney Cox.

Her favorite food is clam chowder. And, her favorite mobile app is Instagram. Awards ceremonies are known for being sort of like Paris catwalks for actresses to not only promote their latest films but also the dresses and gowns of famous or emerging fashion designers. As you might expect, this often leads to some classic to disastrous results. Literally, it did, as it was designed after some famous artwork of Jesus Christ, the divine leader of the Christian faith. She is a TALL Woman, but the fact she looks under her claimed height with a Measured 5'8" man really points to me not thinking she is the full 6'3" She doesn't look it quite a few other times.

This fine lady so deserves her th comment! In my opinion someone towers over someone else if the person they tower over doesn't come up to their forehead. In more normal and commonplace circumstances, 4. Cheers Nik! In fact Gwendoline would tower over Rowan Atkinson and a 4. She's bigger than he is!

It's cool that Gwendoline was about as tall as I am now when she was 12, I'm a modern man you see! The average guess is 6'3. It certainly was you know and she was invited by Tim-Tims to a drinking contest where she was thrown into a dark little room out of sight, where the only drink she had was thrown over her by the naughty, cheeky Blackadder himself - and she shrieked!

So 6'6 height and 1. So with heels i think her height will be solid 6'5 and she wears 4 inch heels. Click Here In this picture with heels she is looking taller then 6ft 5 rory. What do you think Rob Editor Rob. Her heels might give near 3 inches, but I doubt more than that. I'd still give her 6ft 3 range, I would be surprised if she really measured sub 6ft 3. Then i saw Gwendoline make Brooke look small. Maybe once in a blue moon.

He also has a build similar to Lebron James and would probably measure close with him. I've personally never met anyone that loses over 2" in height compared to when standing upright. She is tall and beautiful IMO! I guess 6'3! She absolutely hates it and wishes she was 5'2". Yet she somehow manages to be one of the most adorable people I know despite being a head taller than me and barely being able to skim under a doorway barefoot.

Not really relevant to the guess, but I figured I'd share. Gwendoline's a real rarity in being confident in her 6'3" height, especially as a woman. How tall do you think she looked. She certainly wasn't wearing Jesus sandals. She did manage to look at least 6ft 6 range with some of the other cast.

I'm not sure what she was wearing, if anybody can find a photo of what's beneath her robes it would be interesting. She reminds me of really tall female Dutch model somehow!!!! Although i rearly see women this tall maybe twice or thrice in a year. Everybody has is preference though It is heartwarming to see a tall lady playing such a strong character as a positive role model in a hit series. I admire you greatly! Because 1. It's a fair amount, but some people who are 5ft could shrink a full inch, so 1.

She is beautiful though and with heels she is in the 6ft6- 6ft7 range. My Guess: 6ft 3. If you are unused to seeing women are this tall, check out womens college volleyball! They are few and far between but they do exist! And to my eyes are in no way less feminine for it.

It may not seem to be moving in the right direction but still possible. Me:What do we say to story writing. Season 7 was kind of mediocre. Season 8 we will see, but so far I like it.

Seasons 5 and 6 were bad, and the last one was just awful. Everything was so predictable. I hope this last season is at least somewhat better. Oh, interesting factoid about the fight with the hound only being a thing on the show and how they filmed that. The part she said about depending on when is likely a shoe height vs barefoot.

I don't think she's anywhere above 6 ft 3 and a half in the morning cm. I remember her saying that they used camera angles and she trained hard to try and make it look realistic that she would win that fight. She referred to Rory as being 6ft 7!!!. On Game of Thrones she is really amazing, she beat Rory in single handed combat. When I was 6'3, I was lbs at my lightest. Women definitely lose more height than men with age, so maybe they shrink more during the day as well.

There have been some people on here over the years saying they could shrink I'll say again, the first time I seen Christie was after dinner on the Friday of this event and she didn't look as tall as she did in the morning, I think there was a difference. She may well have measured 6ft 3. She is not over 6'3. She was taller than Adam Driver and Domhall Gleesson in a picture they were in together.

This must be the only actress who has done cons and has went from basically Poundland to Harrod's type pricing.

I didn't get one that day. Believe me, I wanted one but wasn't allowed one The average woman in England weighed 11 stone That is a giant. I'm surprised it was such a high percentile for men but then I thought of it in terms of 1 in 50 of men being cm or over which is probably the case.

You do see 6ft 3in men around, but most men you pass in the street aren't that height. Not many women are as tall as her, most men aren't either. Saying when she is measured may not refer to time of the day. It may be her measuring in shoes. That being said, I still don't think her claim is that specific. She just says that she's 6'3 or 6'4. And that could mean a lot of things, IMO. Even that she's 6'3 barefoot and near 6'4. Most likely either a shoe measurement or measured 6'4" and rounded up half.

I'm not quite convince shes over 2. My tallest female cousin was An inch i'm not so sure. She may lose an inch. I have a hard time seeing 1. Worst case maybe cm but she looks right at 6'3". Probably not 6'3. It will be interesting to see how long she holds 6ft 3 range. I think by mid 50's she might lose a half inch or so. There are far fewer very tall women than very tall men, so the height difference between equally tall relatively speaking members of the male and female populations keeps increasing.

So I would still say that is classified as Extremely tall Last time I saw a Guy over 6'7" in Person was in She must have counted her hair up or atually an inch max lost in a day.

I hardly believe she can be measure 6'4. I do know she's tall whereever in the world you put her. Dinaric Alps Included which the average man is 6'0 and the woman are 5'7.
