Jodie Kidd, a commanding 6ft 2 (188 cm) English fashion model, racing driver, and television personality, has made her extraordinary height a defining feature of her career and public image.
Her towering stature propelled her to prominence in modeling, where it created a striking, unforgettable presence on runways and in campaigns. Remarkably, she grew an inch to this height during pregnancy, as she shared in a 2015 Telegraph interview.
Yet, her height posed challenges in acting aspirations; agents rejected her for lead roles, citing she would look 'ridiculous' alongside shorter stars like Tom Cruise and deeming her too tall for the screen.
The daughter of businessman and former showjumper Johnny Kidd, she has also excelled in motorsport, balancing her glamorous modeling career with high-speed racing.
