Having a good height can be extremely good, but what if causes a hazard at your workplace?
This is what happened when Tom Holland and Zendaya took up roles together on the Spider-Man series.
In their latest interview on The Graham Norton Show, Tom Holland and Zendaya hilariously revealed how their height caused a ‘slight problem’ on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“I heard you talking somewhere in there how your height difference makes those stunts more complicated,” Graham Norton asked both casts.
In a hilarious response, Tom answered: “Thank you, Graham. Now, that’s a good story.”
Zendaya instead offered more details on how their height came into conflict on the movie set.
“It’s a good story,” Zendaya noted. “Well, you see, there’s a particular stunt – I don’t know if it’s in this – but there is. A Spider-Man swings off a bridge and he places me there and we eventually jump off of that and I’m screaming.”

“So, he is supposed to gently, you know, rest MJ [Zendaya] on the bridge and walk away from her. It’s because of our height difference, I obviously, if we are on the same point we were attached, would land before him. Because my feet obviously hit the ground before he does. So, what would happen?”
Tom Holland, 25, responded, saying: “There’s [talking about the type of stunt Zendaya was trying to refer to]. It’s called the bottom mark, isn’t it? And the bottom mark is to basically a thing they do in stunts that is basically designed to stop you shattering your kneecaps.”
He added: “So, Zendaya would land and I’m the superhero. I’m supposed to look cool and she would and I would sort of land like this and my feet would swing underneath me and then she would catch me.”
But while they discussed this ‘hazard,’ Tom and Zendaya never discussed their exact heights. So, between Tom Holland and Zendaya, who is taller?
Tom Holland vs Zendaya: Who is taller?
Tom Halland is reportedly 5 ft 8 inch (172.72 cm) tall and Zendaya, on the other hand, is 5 ft 10 inch (177.80 cm) tall. This means Zendaya is 2 inch taller than Tom Halland. So, there you have it.
