Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
~ Naomi Campbell
Legendary model, Naomi Campbell is known for ruling the fashion industry with an iron fist for more than four decades. Naomi along with Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Kate Moss was known as the "Big Six" -- they were declared "supermodels" by the fashion industry. Even then Naomi was considered the reigning "mega model" of them all.
Where height is concerned, Naomi is listed as 5 feet 10 inches tall everywhere on the internet, including on Wikipedia. Though her modeling agency once listed her at 5'9½". It is a known fact that heights are often inflated in the modeling world (by an inch or two mostly) -- perhaps to make tall models seem ever taller, and thus more impressive -- it happens in the pro-wrestling world as well.
As Heidi Klum once said that she is actually 5 feet 9 inches tall but she adds half an inch more to her height because everyone else lies about their height -- so why not her? Why not indeed?
After taking a careful look at Naomi Campbell and comparing her height to that of some other models like Doutzen Kroes (5'9½"), Tyra Banks (5'10"), Karolina Kurkova (5'11"), etc, we think Naomi is definitely shorter than her listed height.
And what is worse, now in her fifties, she looks shorter than she used to. It looks like she may have lost some height with age, or just looks shorter now due to bad posture.
The real height of Naomi Campbell is
5'8½" or 174 cm
In her prime she was
5'9" or 175 cm
