Many years ago, there was no very strict standard for the height of male stars in the entertainment industry. Except for Li Ming, the other three of the popular "Four Heavenly Kings" were not very tall; The three members of Southeast Asia's "Little Tigers" are all about 1.7 meters tall; Jimmy Lin, the "little showman" who became popular in the 1990s, and Nicholas Tse, the "second generation star" who has attracted attention since birth, are both 1.7 meters tall. Much taller.

Later, everyone’s economic conditions improved, nutrition became richer, and the children were often 1.8 meters tall. Therefore, it seems that male celebrities in the industry are not qualified to enter the entertainment industry if they are not 180cm tall and have two long legs.

I often hear viewers feel sorry for a certain male star who is less than 1.8 meters tall. He is so handsome, but it is a pity that he is too short.

Let’s talk about those young male stars who are extremely handsome, but their fate is choked by the word “short” and they are frequently questioned because of their height.

1. Zhai Zilu

Recently, "Please Advice for the Rest of My Life" starring Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi has just concluded. Zhai Zilu, who plays the second male lead Gu Xiao in the drama, has countless fans .

This is not the first time that he has played the role of the rich second generation "Aquaman". As early as "The World Owes Me a First Love" and "Dear Myself", he already had a cynical playboy role that is very popular among people. . And his personal image is indeed somewhat handsome, and coupled with the character of these prodigal sons, he has earned a lot of goodwill.

Zhai Zilu made his debut in 2018. The agency he signed with is Mengyang Culture, which is owned by Ningmeng Pictures. Jiang Shuying, Mao Zijun, Cai Wenjing, He Jie, Huang Jue, etc. are all The artist in this house.

"The Good Mr.", "Little Farewell", "Little Joy", "Only Thirty" and "Little Willing" produced by Ningmeng Pictures in recent years have all achieved good ratings. It has a good reputation in the industry. The reputation is also rising steadily. Because it is a long-term partner of Goose Factory, the broadcast platform of the dramas produced is also guaranteed.

And Zhai Zilu has caught up with this group of people, and his resources are obvious to the naked eye. It has only been three years since his debut, and he has already appeared in 12 TV series. Except for his debut film "The Master", it is soy sauce. , the rest are all good characters as the second male lead and the first male lead in web dramas.

He was born in 1998 and is only 24 years old this year. He looks youthful, energetic, and unrestrained. He has a nice smile, especially his evil crooked smile, which makes him look like he loves someone. It is said that men are not bad and women do not love them. A handsome man is the type who knows he is a scumbag but is hopelessly confused by him.

But one bug he has is his height. He has a face that does not appear tall, and his actual height is indeed a bit behind among the current 180-cm male stars. His official height is 178cm. If the average person lies by 5cm as Fan Chengcheng said, then he is only over 1.7 meters tall.

In "Dear Myself", he is in the same frame as Liu Shishi who is wearing sneakers. He is only a hair length taller than Liu Shishi. Liu Shishi's official height is 165cm.

In the short play "First Love", he partners with Sun Qian, who is 172cm. They are both wearing skates and are evenly matched in height.

Every time there is a video clip about him on X-Voice, netizens will fall in love with his handsomeness while regretting the two centimeters missing from his height.

But it doesn't matter. Even though height is not an advantage in the entertainment industry, he still quickly carved his own path. He has attracted a large number of fans in just three years since his debut. His role as the second male lead is basically loved by everyone, and the number of views in his small web drama as the male lead is also very impressive.

In addition, although his height is less than 180cm, his body proportions are pretty good. Off-screen, he loves to keep fit, and he is the type who looks thin when dressed and looks voluptuous when undressed.

During the broadcast of "The Rest of My Life", many comments said that he looked like Liu Yijun when he smiled, and even looked more like Liu Yijun's son than Liu Yitong.

Liu Yijun is a top actor in the uncle circle who is very popular with the audience. Zhai Zilu has been working steadily all the way. In the future, he will definitely become a popular actor with both good looks and strength like Uncle Liu.

2. Luo Yunxi

The post-85s actor whose popularity has surged the fastest in recent years is undoubtedly Luo Yunxi. In 2015, he rose to prominence with the role of Xiao He Yichen in "Why Shengxiaomo", and in 2018, his popularity surged due to his role as Runyu in "Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost".

After that, he became the leader of ancient puppet dramas. He acted in many costume dramas such as "White Hair", "Heavy Fire on the Moon", "Haoyi Xing", etc., and was directly promoted to Among the handsome men in ancient costumes.

But his height has also been a point that has been "hacked" as he became popular. His official height is 177cm. In the current circle of 180cm male actors, he does not have an advantage, especially when his co-stars and rival actresses are also 165cm.

Therefore, in order to show off the cutest height difference, or to appear domineering, he would sometimes wear platform shoes to increase his height when filming. Whenever he was photographed, he would make a fuss about it.

But apart from being a few centimeters shorter, he really couldn't fault him.

He studied ballet, and his body proportions are needless to say. His body posture and martial arts movements are also better than those of other actors who have no dance skills. This is why his fighting scenes have always been talked about by everyone. Reasons for happiness.

Let’s talk about manners first. Among the current wave of young actors, many are in a loose state when wearing ancient costumes. When standing, their bodies are slumped, their chests are hunched over, and they look like they have no energy at all. ; When they were sitting down, their whole bodies were like a puddle of mud, and when they flew up, they were even more afraid that others would not know that there was a steel wire around their waists.

And Luo Yunxi, whether he is standing, lying down or flying, his body is always upright.

Let’s talk about fighting movements.

Every time he lifts the wire, his movement is very light, and the landing is very stable, making people feel like he can really fly. Because he has a dance foundation, he can spin, side kick, roll and other movements in the air smoothly, and he can perform them cleanly and without any sloppiness.

Therefore, he is the perfect choice to play the fairy tale drama.

It’s just that he really can’t lose weight anymore.

During the period of moisturizing, his face was plumper and he looked very energetic. I have become thinner and thinner in the past two years, and I look very frail. As soon as she lost weight, she became smaller and more exquisite, and she looked like a little bird standing next to Reba.

3. Tan Kenci

Tan Kenci’s name makes many people misunderstand that he is Japanese, but in fact he is a Guangxi boy.

His name came to him very casually. When he was five years old, he read a comic and told his mother that the Kenjiro in it was very cool and his mother was very capable, so she immediately wanted to change him to Tan Kenjiro. , because the four words are a bit strange, so I left out "lang".

He debuted very early, debuting as a member of MIC at the age of 20, but has remained unknown for many years. It was not until the past few years that Curve to Save the Nation began to act in film and television dramas and participate in some variety shows that the audience became familiar with it.

"Chasing the light!" After "Brother", he could no longer hide himself as a good singer and dancer.

He can sing, dance and act, and he is handsome and handsome. If he had to pick something wrong, it would be his height of 174cm.

He himself is not taboo about his height. He often uses it as a joke in variety shows and has contributed to many famous scenes.

In "Chinese Restaurant", when Yao Anna was asked about her height, she said she was 175cm. Tan Jianci immediately said: You are definitely 1.8 meters. Don't lie about your height in the future.

After saying that, he stood up to compete with her.

Perhaps when a person who is 1.75 meters in height claims to be 1.8 meters in height, it is natural for a person who is 1.74 meters in height to claim that he is 1.79 meters in height.

But Zhou Ye didn’t understand the principle of toughness, and kept asking about Yao Anna’s true height, forcing Tan Jianci to say a golden saying: Condensation is the essence, and a man’s confidence does not come from his height!

Yes, he shines brilliantly on the stage, and is 2.8 meters tall in the hearts of many viewers.

4. Ren Jialun

Ren Jialun participated in the talent show and worked as a trainee, but later became famous because of acting. In 2017, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" had already started to become a small hit, and then "Under the Brocade" immediately exploded.

He started out as a handsome costumed character named Toyogami, so he was naturally classified into the category of handsome men in costumes. In "Under the Brocade", he has more than 30 sets of gorgeous clothes, each of which makes him look extremely fresh.

It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of this drama and his personal state are at their peak.

Later, many dramas such as "The Last Day" and "Twilight" directly put him on the front line. Recently, "Acquaintance with Jun" starring him and Dilraba is currently on the air. It also attracted a lot of attention.

It is said that there are many celebrities, but in a recent live broadcast to promote "You Jun", Ren Jialun revealed that he weighs 114 kilograms, and then became a hot search. Soon his height caused discussion and became a hot search again.

In fact, this is not the first time that his height has been questioned. After he became popular, many netizens questioned whether his official height of 178cm was dehydrated, especially a photo of him and Liu Ruilin, who is 180cm tall. The framed photos circulated online. In the photo, he was wearing platform shoes and looked a little shorter than Liu Ruilin. For a while, his height became a mystery.

Later in "Extreme Challenge", he personally confirmed that his height was 178cm, and compared with Wang Xun, who was also 178cm, they were indeed about the same height.

Speaking of which, some netizens have really put their focus in the wrong place. What attracts the most attention to an actor should be his acting skills and his fit with the role. I don't know since when, the male star's height of 180cm has become a rigid standard, and those who do not meet it will be criticized verbally and in writing.

Personally, I think Ren Jialun's acting skills are remarkable among actors of the same age. As a non-major, he can even defeat many academics in seconds.

In fact, in the entertainment industry where faces and figures are valued, they may not be free from appearance anxiety and body anxiety. During the promotion of "Under the Brocade", Ren Jialun and Tan Songyun were asked if they could gain ten pounds. What will you wish for if you wish?

After listening to the title, Ren Jialun made a wish for a huge ratings hit, while Tan Songyun expressed her wish to grow 10 centimeters taller. After hearing her answer, Ren Jialun slapped his thigh: Wow, why didn't I think of this? I also want to grow 10 centimeters taller!

Ren Jialun is not the only one who covets the ten centimeters of height. Even Andy Lau, an evergreen figure in the entertainment industry, who has been handsome and popular as the "king" for his whole life, has always been worried about his height.

When he was interviewed when he was young, he said, "I often dreamed of being taller than Chow Yun-fat." When he was in his fifties or sixties, he participated in "A Date with Lu Yu" and was asked what he was most dissatisfied with about himself. He was still that Sentence: Ever since I entered the industry, I have wanted to be as tall as Chow Yun-fat.

But what does it matter? He will still be famous all his life.

Now, many netizens have set 180cm as the threshold height for male stars. Anyone who fails to meet this standard will become a black mark. While everyone criticizes celebrities in the entertainment industry for pursuing extreme thinness and desperately trying to lose weight, they criticize them for lying about their height in order to "reach the standard" and using various methods to increase their height internally and externally. At the same time, they continue to criticize them for not being able to reach the standard. , let this aesthetic continue to be popular, let them continue to involute.

Thinking about it, this seems to have become a vicious cycle.
