Recently, many Internet forums have hosted an array of discussions and debates regarding the Brad Pitt height controversy. These Internet debates suggest a fascination with the true height of Hollywood icon Brad Pitt. Despite the general knowledge that the Brad Pitt height is between 5′ 10″ and 6′ 0″, several forums continue to devote entire threads to the Brad Pitt height debate.

Clearly, it has become evident many of these fans are quite fervent about their stance on their Hollywood idol. The slinging of harsh words and criticism is undoubtedly aimed at people who wish to discredit Brad Pitt.

In order to resolve the Brad Pitt height mystery, some people have resorted to testing “scientific theories” to prove their point. In one instance, a poster displays photographs and claims the height proportions of Brad next to several co-stars proves he is 5′ 11″ tall. Another person asserts they met Brad in person and they can tell he is not 5′ 10″ as they ‘eyeballed’ his height at least 6′.

interesting dispute seems to have more practical use|It appears the perpetual disagreement would be more suited] as fodder for the tabloids than it does for serious debate. The possibility arises that Brad’s enthusiastic fans do not want him classified as an average height person, especially since according to United States health statistics, the average American white male is 177 cm tall, which is 69.7 inches, or 5′ 9.7″ tall. That statistic would classify Brad Pitt height as average.

Aside from all the banter back and forth, there may be a plausible explanation to the Brad Pitt height debate. In 2004, while filming the movie Troy, Brad Pitt severely tore his Achilles tendon.. Breaking news stories from CNN stated the injury caused a 90-day delay in finishing the last scenes while Brad’s injuries were treated. Rumor has it that shortly after his tendon healed, Brad Pitt began wearing corrective shoes in an effort to prevent future damage. Those ’special shoes’ reportedly included lifts that make him look as much as 2″ taller.

Another clarification as to the Brad Pitt height discrepancies may be a result of his impeccable posture. There are many claims that his posture is so excellent as compared to others who slouch, that Brad appears taller, even when side-by-side with people of the same height.

Though this reasoning may potentially help explain the Brad Pitt height debate, the only true source and real answer could be found through Brad himself. When Brad was in his 20’s he listed his own height at 5′ 11″ in a teen magazine profile, and later a popular Internet movie database at 5′ 10 3/4″. However, the exact height will undoubtedly continue to be the subject of discussion among fans and therefore perpetuate the continued Brad Pitt height debate.
