Transcripts
Children becoming taller than their parents isĀ a pretty common phenomenon, but it can still beĀ Ā
pretty shocking, even for the biggest actors,Ā politicians, and reality stars in the world.
When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got together inĀ 2004, she'd already adopted one child on her own,Ā Ā
and then they went on to adopt two moreĀ kids together and have three biologically.Ā Ā
Their daughter Shiloh was born on May 27,Ā 2006. In October 2021, Angelina spoke withĀ Ā
People Magazine about her experiences as aĀ parent in a large family. As she explained,
"I have six very individual human beingsĀ in my home. I am so excited about all theĀ Ā
different stages and feelings andĀ curiosities that they go through.Ā Ā
Why wouldn't you be? We're supposed toĀ help them figure out who they are. AndĀ Ā
you can't figure out who they are if youĀ don't enthusiastically develop with them."
As Angelina continues to help herĀ kids figure out their true selves,Ā Ā
they sure seem to keep reaching new heights,Ā sometimes literally. In January 2021,Ā Ā
the then-14-year-old Shiloh was spotted shoppingĀ with her mom, and she appeared to be as tall,Ā Ā
if not taller than her. A few years later,Ā Angelina was spotted out in New York CityĀ Ā
with some of her kids, including Shiloh,Ā who looked to be the tallest of the bunch.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck got marriedĀ in June 2005, and welcomed their first child,Ā Ā
a daughter named Violet, in December of thatĀ year. They had two more kids together beforeĀ Ā
divorcing in 2015. The resemblance betweenĀ Garner and her oldest is pretty uncanny,Ā Ā
except for the fact that sheĀ towers a few inches over her,Ā Ā
although she still hasn't quite reached herĀ dad's reported height of 6 feet, 4 inches.
As Violet continues to grow up, her proud momĀ continues to cherish the bittersweet milestones,Ā Ā
including the college application process.Ā As Garner told People Magazine in March 2024,
"It is exciting. I can see the stress āĀ even though the excitement and stress goĀ Ā
hand in hand. But she's handling it like a champĀ Ā
and she's totally in charge. I'm notĀ having to say, 'Are you doing this,Ā Ā
are you doing this?' She's a self-starter.Ā And I'm just proud of her no matter what."
A couple months later, Garner shared aĀ tearful Instagram post celebrating Violet'sĀ Ā
high school graduation, along with the caption,
"Tell me you have a graduate withoutĀ telling me you have a graduate."
"How am I gonna make it? What am I gonna do?"
Donald Trump has a large family that includes fiveĀ children with three different mothers. His eldest,Ā Ā
Donald Jr., was born in December 1977, whileĀ his youngest, Barron, was born in March 2006.Ā Ā
By the time he was 12 years old, Barron wasĀ already towering over both his dad and his momĀ Ā
Melania. He's gotten even taller since thenĀ by reaching an estimated 6 feet, 8 inches.
During an October 2020 campaign rally in NorthĀ Carolina, former President Trump marveled at hisĀ Ā
youngest's height as well as his abilityĀ to recover from COVID-19. As he put it,
"My Barron. My tall Barron. He's very tall.Ā My beautiful Barron. And handsome. He isĀ Ā
handsome. But my beautiful Barron had it,Ā and he recovered, like, so fast. I said,Ā Ā
'Wait a minute, how long did that take?'Ā They have the strongest immune systems."
When Pierce Brosnan married hisĀ first wife Cassandra Harris in 1980,Ā Ā
he adopted her two children from a previousĀ marriage. They then had one kid togetherĀ Ā
before she died from cancer in 1991. He went onĀ to have two more children with his second wife,Ā Ā
Keely Shaye Smith, including their son Dylan,Ā who was born in January 1997. Dylan has followedĀ Ā
his dad into showbiz by acting, modeling,Ā and singing in the band Raspberry Blonde.
During a June 2021 Instagram Live streamedĀ by People, Pierce revealed that a very youngĀ Ā
Dylan spent some time on the set of theĀ 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day. ButĀ Ā
apparently he wasn't very interested inĀ watching his father work. As he recalled,
"I always remember standing there thinking,Ā 'There's my boy. There's Dylan.' [...] I said,Ā Ā
'How was it?' And you said, 'Are the cars okay,Ā Ā
Daddy? Were the cars all right? Can we go seeĀ the cars?' And it was my best performance,Ā Ā
one of my greatest James Bond heroic moments.Ā I said, 'Yes, son, let's go see the cars.'"
In January 2020, Pierce and his sons appearedĀ together at the Golden Globes. Dylan reportedlyĀ Ā
stood about four inches taller thanĀ his famous father at 6 feet, 5 inches.
"How you guys feeling?"
"We're great, we're doing great. We're so happyĀ and excited and honored to, like, be here."
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes welcomed theirĀ daughter Suri into the world in April 2006Ā Ā
and then married in November of that year.Ā However, the Mission: Impossible star'sĀ Ā
devotion to the Church of Scientology andĀ Holmes' wish to protect her daughter from theĀ Ā
organization proved to be incompatible.Ā So in 2012, the two of them divorced.
Suri has basically been a public figure everĀ since she was a baby, but nowadays she's hardlyĀ Ā
a kid anymore, as she's about as tall as herĀ mom. It seems safe to assume she didn't getĀ Ā
her height from her 5-foot-7-inch father and thatĀ she instead takes after the 5-foot-9-inch Holmes.
Tom and Suri reportedlyĀ remain estranged to this day,Ā Ā
but she clearly has a strong relationship withĀ her mom. As Holmes told Glamour in April 2023,
"What has been really important for me withĀ my daughter, because she was so visible at aĀ Ā
young age, is I really like to protectĀ her. I'm very grateful to be a parent,Ā Ā
to be her parent. She's an incredible person."
After Jessica Alba met producer Cash WarrenĀ on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004,Ā Ā
the two of them really hit it off. TheyĀ eventually got married while she wasĀ Ā
pregnant with their daughter Honor, who wasĀ born in June 2008. They've since gone on toĀ Ā
have two more kids together. In SeptemberĀ 2020, when Honor was 12 years old, AlbaĀ Ā
shared a picture on Instagram of the two of themĀ standing back to back, along with the caption,
"The moment you realize yourĀ number 1 baby is taller than you."
Alba later sat down with SiriusXM's The HighwayĀ Ā
about how quickly Honor hasĀ shot right up. As she put it,
"We're back to back, and I just, I fellĀ apart. I just started crying [...] She'sĀ Ā
taller than me. I mean, literally over COVIDĀ she went from like a size 7 to like a 9 shoe."
According to Alba, Honor grew almost three inchesĀ over that period to make it up to 5-foot-7.
"It's crazy."
Reese Witherspoon met Ryan PhillippeĀ at her 21st birthday party in 1997,Ā Ā
and then they got married in June 1999Ā after co-starring in Cruel Intentions.Ā Ā
Just three months after that, theyĀ welcomed their daughter Ava. It wasn'tĀ Ā
long before Ava caught up to her mom,Ā who stands at just 5 feet, 1 inch tall.
In June 2014, when Ava was 14, she andĀ Witherspoon looked to be just about theĀ Ā
same height while they were out hiking in theĀ Pacific Palisades. And it was clear that AvaĀ Ā
had shot up even more when they were spottedĀ out and about shopping in Los Angeles in 2023.
As the daughter of two famous parents,Ā Ava has learned a lot about living inĀ Ā
the public eye and the pressureĀ that comes with it. Fortunately,Ā Ā
her mom's been a strong role model for her.Ā In an April 2024 chat with People Magazine,Ā Ā
Ava shared an important lesson that she learnedĀ from her Oscar-winning mother by noting,
"My mom is Southern. A big saying in the South,Ā especially amongst women is, 'Pretty is as prettyĀ Ā
does.' Every time that comes up in my brain orĀ I see people being critical of others online forĀ Ā
their appearance, I just always think, 'You'reĀ only as beautiful as you treat other people.'"
"Your little mini-me looksĀ pretty incredible as well."
"I know, it's really beautiful."
When soccer superstar David Beckham met SpiceĀ Girl Victoria Adams in 1997, it was the startĀ Ā
of quite the celebrity power couple. They marriedĀ in 1999 and now have four kids together: Brooklyn,Ā Ā
who was born in 1999; Romeo, who arrivedĀ in 2002; Cruz, born in 2005; and Harper,Ā Ā
born in 2011. And in just the blink of an eye,Ā the middle two kids have shown up their dad inĀ Ā
the height department. In August 2022, the soccerĀ legend shared a photo of himself with Romeo andĀ Ā
Cruz on Instagram, while also quipping, "So closeĀ to being as tall as dad. Yep boys will be boys."
Of course, the caption was a joke, asĀ Romeo and Cruz were both clearly tallerĀ Ā
than their dad. Raising a family inĀ the limelight can be complicated,Ā Ā
but the Beckhams have always put theirĀ kids first. As David told GQ in 2016,
"We've always protected our children,Ā but we've always been honest with them,Ā Ā
as well: There're going to beĀ things said about you, about us,Ā Ā
that aren't true [...] I've got four amazingĀ kids, and an amazing wife, amazing parents,Ā Ā
amazing in-laws, amazing friends who IĀ trust: It doesn't matter what people say."
Michael Douglas' acting career kicked offĀ in the 1960s, and it wasn't long before heĀ Ā
was a bona fide star. In 1978, he becameĀ a father for the first time when he andĀ Ā
his first wife Diandra Luker welcomed theirĀ son Cameron into the world. 22 years later,Ā Ā
he became a father again at the age ofĀ 56 when he and his second wife CatherineĀ Ā
Zeta-Jones welcomed their son Dylan, who wasĀ followed by their daughter Carys Zeta in 2003.
In April 2023, Dylan and Michael were photographedĀ together at the Broadway debut of Good Night,Ā Ā
Oscar. Dylan was 22 at the time, and heĀ looked to be a good few inches tallerĀ Ā
than his Oscar-winning dad. Michael has admittedĀ that being an older dad can be awkward at times,Ā Ā
like when he visited Dylan's collegeĀ for parents' day, and he had to swatĀ Ā
away some incorrect assumptions.Ā As he recalled to The Telegraph,
"This is not grandfather's day,Ā this is parents' day. I say,Ā Ā
'I am a parent!' That was a rough one."
"Michael and I both look atĀ Dylan and our daughter Carys,Ā Ā
and you go, wow, 22 years, and it's been amazing."
Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich really hit itĀ off while working together on the 1997 movie TheĀ Ā
Myth of Fingerprints, which she starred in, andĀ he wrote, directed, and produced. They got marriedĀ Ā
in 2003 and have two kids together: Caleb, whoĀ was born in 1997, and Liv, who arrived in 2002.
Freundlich is a foot taller than his wife,Ā so it's no surprise then that both of theirĀ Ā
children now tower over their mom. InĀ fact, Liv was already taller than herĀ Ā
by the time that she was 14. WhileĀ they aren't close in height anymore,Ā Ā
that certainly hasn't hurt their relationship.Ā As Moore gushed to Harper's Bazaar in 2022,
"She's spectacularly poised. I've beenĀ bragging about Liv since the day she wasĀ Ā
born, and I'm so impressed by how well sheĀ navigates the world and how mature she is."
Liv shared the love by responding,
"What I admire most about my mom is how drivenĀ she is. She always has a clear idea of what sheĀ Ā
wants to accomplish ā choosing [roles] sheĀ is passionate about ā and she never lets goĀ Ā
of that. My mom does what she wants to do andĀ doesn't really care what other people think."
Kourtney Kardashian was in an on-again, off-againĀ relationship with Scott Disick for years beforeĀ Ā
she married Travis Barker in 2022. The exes shareĀ three children, including their eldest Mason,Ā Ā
who was born in December 2009. Mason isn't in theĀ limelight as often as his famous family members,Ā Ā
but in June 2022, he was spotted out andĀ about with his 5-foot, 1-inch mom. EvenĀ Ā
though he was only 12 years old at the time, itĀ was clear that he was already taller than her.
While appearing on the Not SkinnyĀ But Not Fat podcast in October 2022,Ā Ā
Kourtney opened up about why Mason keepsĀ such a low profile, as she revealed,
"I see comments all the time that I'm neverĀ with my kids, and I just don't love to postĀ Ā
my kids on social media. They don't loveĀ it. Sometimes they do [...] [Mason] doesĀ Ā
not like it, he doesn't want any partĀ of it [...] I want my kids to be kids."
"I crave normalcy as much as we can have it."
