Conversely, I was surprised at how much taller a lot of coworkers were when I met them after all going back to the office. I get 'You're taller than on teams' pretty much every time I meet someone IRL now. I think your mind just averages everyone on a call out.

I'm pretty average at 5' 10 but yeah lots now tower over me. I suspect that's because that average seems to be increasing in younger people.

Anyway, yeah it's a bit weird to be debating what level of ugly BK is. I mentioned it to my partner when watching Saltburn how one minute he looks really handsome and then the next he literally looks like one of those really ugly dogs with the horrible dog face. But it's working for him and I always enjoy watching him to varying degrees.
I think part of the problem I had with him as the lead is that whilst its undeniable he's not super handsome, he also behaves like a fucking weirdo from the get go. Part of that is the baggage of him being typecast as the weird urchin freak.
At least in Banshees he was quite sweet and weird, and that worked well. And also Dunkirk where he was unconscious.

It seems to be par for the course that actors and celebs add on a couple of inches when asked. I've gone down a celeb height rabbit hole this afternoon....

But him being the offbeat weirdo with a broken family life is how he gets in with the posho's. They get to make themselves feel better helping an injured bird. It's the whole point of how he worms his way in. Not being good looking or not.

Life and movies would be dull if we all looked the same - loads of actors rely on looking a bit different to stand out.

I didn't get a single vibe from the movie that he was supposed to be really good looking. This is part of why I felt that Oliver and Felix shared characteristics from Tony in Skins. Felix who was good looking, who all the women want and who all the guys want to be. And Oliver the master manipulator, who will manipulate everyone, including friends.

Yeah I'm 5'11" and my 13 year old daughter is around 5'8" already and she is about the same height as her mates. Definitely seems to be a growth spurt generation in last 10-20 years. We will all look medieval in 20 years time...

Given the film completely rips off The Talented Mr Ripley I can't help but compare him to Matt Damon in that, which works perfectly because it's way better material, acting and filmmaking. I do think Keoghan has a lot of baggage because of the roles he's had, where you just assume he's a psycho from the start, whether the script demands it or not. Whereas the opposite was true of Matt Damon. I didnt hate Saltburn or his performance, I just didnt think either were good.

Tom Cruise has to be shorter than 5’7”, right? He doesn’t look shorter, mind you, but the story has always been that they put apple boxes when filming to make him look taller (he doesn’t). If so many are near his height, do they also box them up? And if so, why do we only talk about him? His movies make a fortune but I wouldn’t call him the biggest Hollywood star out there either, since he’s so selective of when he works.

I think it was that she couldn't stomach stubble, even though they all had it, bar Keoghan.

It’s because he’s both good looking and short which is otherwise considered impossible.

As further proof you can be attractive and short Judi Dench is 5ft 1.
Can’t think of any other hotties though, certainly not in that league.

You can prob knock about three inches off everything listed there. Except maybe Danny Devito - you get the feeling that he's just owning it.
