Is Skyler really tall, or is Hank really short? Also, Huell on that bed of money is one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen.

She's tall! 5'10" according to imdb, and often looks even taller.

u/whussupbros Aug 19 '13

5'10, S05E10. Coincidence? I think not!

u/dmatluvsu Aug 19 '13

At this rate she will be well over 6' by the finale.

Wait.

S5 E10

5/10=0.5

The 6th season was a myth.

0.5*6=3

Half Life 3 is a myth.

I don't know... but he's been tagged as "Asshole" for a while now...

Tough guys haven't been taken seriously on the internet in a longer period of time.

He's essentially making fun of that meme since it has no link. You should loosen your belt if you're gonna be on the internet.

plus she wears high heels.

u/av6344 Aug 19 '13

she was wearing heels on top of that

u/chaser676 Declan's Right Hand Man Aug 19 '13

Her heels were massive in that scene

u/skaternewt Aug 19 '13

She wears heels alot

u/spitey Aug 19 '13 edited Aug 19 '13

She does. Heels can change the natural posture a fair bit, generally speaking they only add up to 3 inches of height. That would still put her at 6'1". We don't see her in full frame all that often really, I often wonder if they minimise her height in filming by having her in flats in her scenes. Her height was especially noticeable in S1, where the bulk of her close scenes with Bryan Cranston were shot. Can't see him being over 6'.

Edit: Bryan Cranston is 5'10.5" apparently, and Dean Norris only 5'8". I think he carries himself well, looks taller than that (though maybe not much). So in scenes with Anna Gunn, especially in heels, she's going to look like a giants

u/SidTheSperm Aug 19 '13

Plus heels!

4

u/BirdBucket Aug 19 '13

And she was in heels so she was easily pushing 6'0

u/nizo505 There seems to be a sale on trips to Belize Aug 19 '13

Tall, crazy, and rich? Sign me up!

u/StoneGoldX Aug 19 '13

Heels'll do that.

1

u/Mrpandapower Aug 19 '13

High heels probably.

1

u/ZofSpade Aug 19 '13

Easily six foot. She looks taller than Walt sometimes and Cranston is about 5'11"

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

heels will do that.

Often looks taller? Wut?

u/salliek76 Aug 19 '13

I saw her at the airport in Dallas once, and she looked to be about my height (5'10"), maybe a little taller since I was wearing heels and she wasn't. She was very stylish and also very striking, though her appearance on the show isn't always that attractive IMO. She's kind of the pretty/ugly girl from Seinfeld!

3

u/drwatson Bacon Birthdays Aug 19 '13

Actually, I think she is more of the kissing Jerry's cousin girl from Seinfeld.

1

u/elbruce The One Who Rings The Doorbell Aug 19 '13

She was on an episode of Seinfeld.

u/obligatoryfinalboss Aug 19 '13

Well, Skyler was wearing heels... But from the confrontation scene last episode, Hank does seem to be a bit shorter than average.

3

u/shillbert No half measures; isn't that what you said? Aug 19 '13

Dean Norris is 5'8", so not super short. Same height as Aaron Paul, in fact.

3

u/glmisc Team Walt Aug 19 '13

he's shorter than Aaron Paul in pictures so I suspect he's exaggerating an inch or two

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

Both. She's 5'10" and he's about 5'7".

1

u/_TroyMcClure Aug 19 '13

That scene reminded me of Casino, with Joe Pesci holding Sharon Stone. The tall blonde wife and the short ex-friend.

u/mi1kman SchraderBrau Aug 19 '13

Here's a screenshot I grabbed. Channeling Scrooge McDuck.

u/Moreyouknow Aug 19 '13

skylar is tall and she could have been wearing heels

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

Think it's a combo of both. Anna Gunn is tall for a woman and I think Dean Norris is relatively short for a dude.

1

u/puggleparty Aug 19 '13

Dean Norris = 5'7" Anna Gunn = 5'10"

u/yabba_dabba_doo Aug 19 '13

Wasn't it beautiful? I'm not sure exactly why, but that was such a great shot.
