[Height Comparison]
[Height Comparison]
When I get dolled up, I’m rocking a heel for sure — and I’m 5’10”! I don’t typically do a platform; I like a good, skinny stiletto that’s not too high. Because if I get too tall, I kind of get Tall Girl Syndrome and start to slouch. As weird as it sounds, I’m more of an introvert, so when I get too tall I feel like, ahhh, everyone’s looking at me!
-- 2017, Racked.com
When I’d show up in person, they’d be like, “Oh my God, you’re much taller than we thought.” They think it’s because I’m petite. It reads as a normal-size person. I mean, I think I’m normal size, but everyone is always like, “Oh my God, you’re so tall. What are you, six feet?” I’m five-foot-nine. Relax, everyone. All the other actresses are so little that they get to wear heels. I can’t wear heels on set because the set is too small. If they put me in heels, you’d be able to see lighting in the shot. When I met my boyfriend he knew me only from watching me on Breaking Bad. I was wearing heels when I met him, and he was like, “Oh, wow. You’re really tall.”

Editor RobRather tall, but is she in the 'very tall' category? I think nearer 5ft 10 I might start going with that zone.

Krysten recently gave a pretty specific claim on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast.

Also earlier mentions how at 15 she was scouted at a mall and was 5'9 at the time. Michael chimes in on how tall he was when he graduated high school.

In this case i actually think she plays down her height. She has long legs and a long torso and actually looks 6 ft in J.J. So if shorter she has to be very slim. I'll go for 5'10 dead.

@Malik and @185:
True, but don't forget that she has an extra inch of footwear advantage. Women are also able to wear their pants up 2-3" higher than men (use your imagination why) so the difference may not be as big as it looks.

She is honest, I'd agree, and likable and attractive. I like that most of her major roles are as seriously flawed people (or super-people), I think she deserves a prominent film career.

Yeah, I may have overestimated her hair by a bit... I can buy her being somewhere around 5'10 here (with her footwear advantage), so somewhere in 175-6 range is quite believable for her.

whoa, didnt know she was this tall. from breaking bad, i thought she was a little taller than aaron paul, i assumed maybe 5'7.5 max or so. i did notice on the show she wore flats and still seemed a little taller than him, but on shows, camera angles make it difficult to pinpoint height. Saw pics of the two of them too, and i still wouldve guessed she was 5'7.5 as it seemed that way with her in heels next to aaron paul. I dont find her particularly attractive though, but nice body. well, either way, i agree usually with what is listed on this site, so 5'9 it is.

Looked around the same height as Aaron Paul to me in Breaking Bad, maybe just a hair taller. To be honest i thought she and Aaron were both around 5'6" before i saw their listings, i was quite surprised to say the least. Especially Krysten i didn't think looked particularly tall at all, which a legit 5'9" is supposed to be for a girl. Oh well, i guess it's not always easy to tell unless you meet them in person!

I'm not sure she is so tall...I was a stand-in (someone who stands in her place while they set the lighting to hit her properly) for her in 27 dresses and i'm only 5'2. I also stood next to her on several occasions and I do not recall her towering over me. Could be wrong tho.
