From Tom Holland and Zendaya to Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz… why having a taller girlfriend is the height of fashion
FINDING love can be a tall order, but these celeb couples don’t fall short on romance despite their height difference.
It appears that seeing eye-to-eye, literally, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Just ask Hollywood stars Zendaya and Tom Holland.
At 5ft 10in, statuesque Zendaya towers over her 5ft 8in beau, especially in a pair of six-inch heels.
However, Brit actor Tom has insisted: “She’s not THAT much taller . . . it’s not like people say, ‘How did you guys kiss?’ ”
Here, Josh Saunders looks at other famous couples of different heights – and how their relationships stack up.
GILES DEACON & GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE
GAME Of Thrones star Gwen, 45, was told she would “probably never work on screen” due in part to her height.
Her fashion designer partner of 11 years, Giles, is two inches shorter than her.
DANIEL RADCLIFFE & ERIN DARKE
HARRY Potter star Daniel, 35, worked his magic on taller beauty Erin, 40, when they met 12 years ago.
They are now settled with a young son but have never addressed the height difference.
JAMIE CULLUM & SOPHIE DAHL
WITH a good seven inches separating them, supermodel Sophie, 47, is head and shoulders above singer Jamie, 45.
But she isn’t fussed, saying: “When you’re happy, you don’t give a s***.”
ROD STEWART & PENNY LANCASTER
ROD’S team wanted Penny, 53, to ditch the heels when they met.
Now she lets the 79-year-old go first through doors, so he won’t “look like my son behind me”.
KEITH URBAN & NICOLE KIDMAN
NICOLE, 57, seems to loom over country music star hubby Keith, 56, in stilettos.
But she is only one inch taller. She must like short men, as she was previously wed to 5ft 7in Tom Cruise.
BENJI MADDEN & CAMERON DIAZ
ROCK guitarist Benji, 45, needn’t fret about being three inches smaller than his actress wife Cameron, 52.
She loves him just the way he is, insisting: “I got the best man ever.”
