Ben is so tall that when he met Michael Jordan before filming Air began, he stood side by side with the athlete to compare their heights.

“Ben stands up, kind of puffs out his chest, stands tall right up against Jordan, and I think, 'Oh God, I see where this is going,'" shared Matt Damon, who co-stars with Ben in the sports film.

"Ben's tall, like 6-foot-3 (190 cm). So Ben goes, 'No way you're 6-foot-6 (198 cm)' And Jordan goes, 'Yeah, I am.' And Ben goes, 'No, not a chance, you're 6-foot-4¾, four and three-quarters tops!

“And without missing a beat, Jordan says, ‘Which is what makes what I did all the more incredible.’”
