If I'm two pounds heavier, I'm fat. If I'm skinnier, I'm sick. It's ridiculous.
~ Alessandra Ambrosio
Famous Brazilian model and actress, Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the icons of the fashion industry. Needless to say, she is a widely successful model and was at one time one of the highest earning in her profession.
Though the question here is how tall exactly is she?
Well, certainly not as tall as she is listed on Wikipedia or how was described by a Brazillian Rollingstone interviewer -- 5 feet 9 and a half inch.
Why do we think so? Well, we took a careful look at Ms. Ambrosio's beautiful body stature (muscular legs, long torso) and compared her height to that of some other famous models like Miranda Kerr(5'8"), Heidi Klum (5'9"), Ariana Lima (5'10"), Karolina Kurkova (5'11"), and some others and have now we think that Alessandra Ambrosio certainly does not above 5 feet 9 inches of height and at times does looks below it.
You may be thinking what is half an inch more or less -- but trust us -- it actually shows.
As Heidi Klum once said that she is actually 5 feet 9 inches tall but she adds half an inch to her height because everyone else lies about their height -- so why not her?
Well, height inflation is common in the entertainment world -- as well as the modeling world. This inflation is surely done by modeling agencies -- perhaps in the hope of making models seem even taller and thus even more impressive -- perhaps they have taken a leaf out of WWE's book.
We think Ms. Klum's quote applies to Ms. Ambrosio's height as well.
The real height of Alessandra Ambrosio is
5'8¾" or 175 cm

On Russell James, being tied up and getting nearly drowned:
Russell James asked me to shoot underwater. He tied my feet under the water. I don't know how many feet - maybe five, or six meters. He tied me underwater and I had no air. Somebody had a tube, and they were giving me some oxygen, but I couldn't really see anything. Everything was blurry. I'm waiting for the oxygen - that was the craziest thing.
On being selfless and caring for her daughter:
I'm not thinking about me that much anymore. Every time I look, I'm looking for my daughter, you know? If I'm in a store, I'm looking at baby clothes. It's so much cuter to find things for her than to find things for me.
