9. John Cleese is 6’5″
John Cleese is an English actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer best known as one of the co-founders of the legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python. He stands 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm) tall.
His imposing frame was actually a recurring element in his comedy—most notably in the iconic 1966 Frost Report “Class” sketch, where his height was used to visually represent upper-class superiority alongside shorter comedians Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett. His height also contributed to his famous physical, “silly walks” style of slapstick.
