Gwendoline Christie, best known for her commanding presence as Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, has once again captured attention—this time for her towering stature in Netflix's hit series Wednesday.
Standing at an impressive 6ft 3in (191cm), Christie's height has become a talking point among fans, especially when compared to her co-star Jenna Ortega, who plays the titular character Wednesday Addams.
How Does Gwendoline Christie's Height Compare?
In Wednesday, Christie plays Principal Larissa Weems, a role that amplifies her natural height advantage. Jenna Ortega, by contrast, stands at just 5ft 1in (155cm), making their on-screen dynamic even more striking.
Christie's height has often been a defining feature of her roles, from the formidable Brienne to Captain Phasma in Star Wars. But how does she measure up against other Hollywood stars?
- Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister): 4ft 5in (135cm)
- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister): 6ft 2in (188cm)
- Maisie Williams (Arya Stark): 5ft 1in (155cm)
Fan Reactions and Memes
Social media has been buzzing with comparisons, with fans joking about the height difference between Christie and Ortega. One tweet quipped, "Gwendoline Christie could literally pick up Wednesday like a backpack."
Others have praised Christie for embracing her height, with many calling her a "real-life Amazonian warrior."
Why Height Matters in Hollywood
Christie's stature has not only set her apart in roles but also challenged traditional casting norms. Her commanding presence has redefined what it means to be a leading woman in film and TV.
As she continues to break barriers, fans can't wait to see where her career—and her height—take her next.
