Euphoria fans are often perplexed when watching their favorite actors and actresses work alongside one another in the HBO series solely because they either look much taller or much, much smaller than they seem in real life.
On one hand, we have the forever-gorgeous Zendaya who stands at 5’10, which is around the same height as Angus Cloud (5’8) and the same as Hunter Schafer (5’10). When she’s seen on camera with these two, we don’t see a height difference. However, on the other hand, when these taller stars are next to their shorter co-stars like Sydney Sweeney (5’3) or Javon Walton (5’2), it’s hard not to notice the difference.
But the most staggering height difference was seen in last night’s episode when Euphoria star Jacob Elordi stood next to Alexa Demie and looked massive.
Just how tall are Jacob Elordi and Alexa Demie? We tell you everything to know below.
Jacob Elordi height
Pop Buzz reports that Jacob Elordi currently stands at about 6’5, making him the tallest amongst his Euphoria co-stars.
Though he embraces his tall figure now, he wasn’t always this confident in his height and, at one point, believed his stature would make him lose out on acting opportunities. Because of this fear, the 24-year-old actor would tell little white lies about his height on a few of his resumes to get a better chance at securing the lead role.
In an interview, Jacob stated:
"I used to try and pass for 6’2″ or 6’3″ but I’m actually 6’5″. So online there’s all different kinds of numbers. I’ve just sold myself out. Just because people hear 6’5″ and they go like ‘you’re a giant’ but if I stand next to someone who’s 6’3″, the difference is tiny."
Fortunately, he no longer fibs on his resumes as his roles in Euphoria and The Kissing Booth helped him embrace his height. So it goes without saying, we will see much more of this tall star in all types of roles in the future.
Alexa Demie height
According to Cosmopolitan, Alexa Demie stands at 5’6. However, there are conflicting reports out there. Other publications say she’s 5’1, while some say she’s 5’4. We’re inclined to trust Cosmpolitan, though!
Perhaps Euphoria season 2 will play with these height dynamics even more as we tune in each week. We’ll have to tune in to find out, but until then, we’ll continue to enjoy the major height differences between all of these talented actors.
