Several Internet Chat sites have currently been host to an overabundance of discussions and sometimes heated debates regarding the Brad Pitt height discrepancy. These Internet discussions seem to be enamored with the true height of movie superstar Brad Pitt. Despite the general knowledge that the Brad Pitt height is between 5′ 10″ and 6′ 0″, many websites continue to perpetuate the Brad Pitt height debate.

An indisputable fact is that many of the forum posters are quite fervent about their position on their Hollywood idol. The slinging of harsh words and criticism is evidently aimed at people who would attempt to disparage the name of Brad Pitt.

In order to resolve the Brad Pitt height mystery, some people have resorted to testing “scientific theories” to prove their point. In one case, a poster displays photographs and claims the relative comparison of Brad next to several co-stars proves he is 5′ 11″ tall. Another claims they met Brad in person and they can tell he is not 5′ 10″ as they ‘eyeballed’ his height at least 6′.

stimulating dispute seems to have more practical use|It appears the unending disagreement would be more suited] as fodder for the tabloids than it does for serious debate. It may be that Brad’s fanatical followers prefer to think of him as above average, especially since in a recent health statistical report, the average American white male is 177 cm tall, which is 69.7 inches, or 5′ 9.7″ tall. That statistic would place Brad Pitt height in the average category.

Aside from all the banter back and forth, there may be a plausible explanation to the Brad Pitt height debate. In 2004, while filming the movie Troy, Brad Pitt injured his Achilles tendon. According to news reports the injury forced a three-month suspension in shooting the final scenes of the film while he healed. It is rumored that after the accidental injury, Brad Pitt began wearing corrective shoes to protect his Achilles tendon from future damage. The ‘corrective shoes’ may include lifts that cause Brad to appear taller than he actually is.

A further belief regarding the Brad Pitt height variations could be related to his perfect posture. There are many claims that his posture is so perfect as compared to others who slouch, that Brad appears taller, even when side-by-side with people of the same height.

Although these explanations and many less plausible ones may help to explain the Brad Pitt height debate, the only true source and real answer could be found through Brad himself. In the early 1990′s Brad listed his own height at 5′ 11″ in a teen magazine profile, and later a popular Internet movie database at 5′ 10 3/4″. However, the exact height will undoubtedly continue to be the subject of discussion among fans and therefore perpetuate the continued Brad Pitt height debate.
