"I was very short when I was little, so I probably had - and there may be a residue of it now - that Napoleon complex. Wanting to be as big and as powerful as the big guys."
~ Wesley Snipes
Famous action movie star, Wesley Snipes is known for starring in movies such as Demolition Man, U.S. Marshals, The Expendables 3, The Player, and the Blade film trilogy.
We think Wesley Snipes looked tall in the Blade movies but we also think that some credit for that must go to the big boots he loved to wear in those movies.
Mr. Snipes once claimed to be 5'11" tall on The Howard Stern show but to us, he looks very similar in height to 5'9" tall actors like Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone (5'9" in his prime), Woody Harrelson (5'9.5"), etc.
The real height of Wesley Snipes is
5'9" or 175 cm

"I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me, it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it."
