Matt LeBlanc, precisely 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm) tall, leveraged his relatable stature to embody the lovable, not-so-tall Joey Tribbiani on the iconic sitcom Friends, earning three Primetime Emmy nominations.
His height played a pivotal role early in his career; attempting modeling in New York, he found 5ft 9 ½ too short for that industry, smartly shifting to acting where it enhanced his everyman charm in roles from Lost in Space and Charlie's Angels to the spin-off Joey and Episodes.
Later, as host of Top Gear, his approachable 176.5 cm frame added to his down-to-earth persona.
