"My height can be a problem. A lot of directors and photographers are sometimes not happy because I'm pretty tall and especially if I work with short actors the difference can be pretty massive."
~ Bill Skarsgård
Swedish actor, Bill Skarsgård has appeared in many movies but he is probably best known for playing Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the supernatural horror films It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019).
Where height is concerned the Skarsgård family might just be the tallest family in Hollywood. All the members of this family are tall -- Stellan, Gustaf, Alexander are 6-feet-3 inches or taller.
Bill Skarsgård is no different in this regard as well. He once mentioned his height as 191 cm (slightly above 6-feet-3 inches), and after taking a look at him we think he looks like it -- it seems he is exactly an inch shorter than Alexander Skarsgård, who by his own admission is 6'4¼" tall.
Bill Skarsgård's height twins in Hollywood would be Chris and Liam Hemsworth.
The real height of Bill Skarsgård is
6'3¼" or 191 cm

"A true artist, in my mind, is willing to fail sometimes, because if you're not brave enough to say yes and follow your gut, it's never going to be good."
