Do Celebs Lie About Their Height?

As can be expected, some celebrities certainly lie about their height, while others tell the truth. For example, 5'11.5 Vin Diesel claimed "I'm six one" and 6'2.5" Dwayne Johnson once claimed "six-four and a half".

Other examples include actress Zendaya who stands 5'8.5", who claimed "about five ten and a half", former President Donald Trump who stands at 6'1" but frequently claims 6'3", also Ariana Grande who stands at 5'0.5" claiming 5'2", and 5'7.5" Justin Bieber who once claimed "five ten". 

The list goes on, but as we can see it is not uncommon for celebs to add around 2 inches onto their real height.
