About Zayn Malik's Real Height
So how tall is Zayn Malik exactly? He has a good height and a well-proportioned body for sure but he certainly isn't as tall as -- he thinks. Members of boy bands are notorious for inflating their height -- knowingly or unknowingly Mr. Malik to fall into this category as well. Perhaps these gentlemen measure their heights with their heavy boots still on?
We are serious, It is a real possibility -- some people simply seem to not care about their height as much as others do -- but what is funny is that they always describe themselves taller than they really are -- never shorter. So we don't know what to think of not caring about their height.
Zayn malik once claimed to be 5'10" tall -- which is most certainly not true seeing as Harry Styles has also claimed to be just so tall -- and there seem to be at least two inches of height difference between these fine gentlemen.
If anything Zayn is closer in height to Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson -- both of whom are around 5'8" tall, therefore it stands to reason that Zayn is around 5'8" as well.
After comparing Zayn Malik's to Gigi Hadid (5'9½"), Taylor Swift (5'9½"), the other members of One Direction band, and more celebrities than we can name here, we are more convinced than ever that Zayn Malik is no more than 5'8" in real life -- however big he is in the world of music.
The real height of Zayn Malik is
5'8" or 173 cm
