One of the finest, most beautiful, and tallest actresses of all time, Nicole Kidman needs no introduction. She has amazed and exhilarated us with her performance in movies such as Days of Thunder, Eyes Wide Shut, The Others, The Paperboy, The Golden Compass, Lion, and many more such gems.
About Nicole Kidman's Real Height
You might have already noticed that Nicole Kidman is super tall, and has a tendency to dwarf most people in her vicinity. In fact, she used to dwarf her famous ex-husband Tom Cruise and does the same to her husband Keith Urban now -- what a woman!
Now both Tom (5'7¾") and Keith (5'8½") are not that short either -- they are both only a bit shorter than the average height of men in the United States (5'9¼").
But then Nicole is even taller than the average height of men in the US.
Nicole is quite candid on the subject of her height. She says she has no inhibitions about her height, and that she learned early on to be totally self-assured about it. She claims to be 5 feet 10½ inches tall.
A lot of celebrities' height claims left a lot to be desired -- but that's not the case here.
After just taking a look at Nicole and comparing her height to a few celebrities like Tom Crusie (almost 5'8"), Zac Efron (5'8"), Charlize Theron (5'10"), Hugh Jackman (6'2" in his prime), etc, we think if anything Nicole might have been downplaying her height a bit -- many times she looks even taller.
Nicole Kidman's height twin in Hollywood would be Andrew Garfield and George Clooney.
The height of Nicole Kidman is

Here are some more honest Nicole Kidman quotes.
What you hate about yourself.
The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.
Not try to be.
Breathe and don't try to be perfect.
On mistakes.
Sometimes your mistakes are your biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake. Those things that you think are the worst thing that's happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunity.
Don't give up.
Whatever you do in life, don't give up on your own dreams.
Our job as humans.
Part of our job as human beings is to share our knowledge and share the things we've learned. So we can either save people from making the same mistakes or give them hope.
What is going to help you?
No matter how much you're going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, boldness is the thing that helps you.
Being famous for work.
Having your work be the basis of fame, that's a far more stable feeling.
On life.
Life has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.
On her decision process.
I don't really make decisions, I go with the flow.
On giving back.
I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.
She loves getting...
I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.
Even better than acting.
I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
Taking risks.
Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
On her privacy as a human being.
I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. I'm a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I'm betraying myself and my children.
Posing for photos.
I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.
Not trying to control the future.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Not being bitter.
I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.
Having a little belly on her.
I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me.
Compromises in life.
Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.
Having respect for your partner.
You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
Being emotional.
I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me, it really upsets me. If something makes me angry, I get really angry. But it's all very upfront. I can't hide it. I'm also loyal and I hope I'm fun.
On her body type.
I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine.
On sun.
Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family.
