Chris’s height helped him secure the role of Thor in the Marvel franchise. However, this was more the exception than the rule. 

On many occasions, he lied about his height to land more roles. “There are certainly things I’ve wanted to go up for which I’ve been totally wrong for, physically,” he told the Radio Times. “And I normally lie about my height [6’3” or 191 cm] and say I’m shorter.”

Chris ranks second as the tallest Marvel actor, behind Paul Bettany (Vision), who boasts a height of 6’3 1⁄2.
