I went to the gym the other day to lift weights. At some point, I set out to do some squats. With the aurally pleasing Desiigner track Outlet blaring through my headphones, I picked the bar off of the rack, stumbled backward, and started to enter my crouch. As soon as I descended into my squat, I was greeted by the sound of overcompensation and toxic masculinity. The people squatting next to me were howling and shrieking like they were moving Heaven and Earth. No part of that was necessary. Every part of it was off-putting.

After my initial frustration, my first thought was the Kevin Hart comedy special I'm A Grown Little Man. In one section of the effervescent stand-up, Hart talks about not going to the gym due to people who unnecessarily bellow and holler.

That reminded me of the part immediately preceding that when Hart launched into a hilarious spiel about people at the gym who are big for no reason.

That particular skit was the genesis for this article. However, I tweaked it a little bit. Instead of finding people who are strong for no reason, I found celebs who are tall for no reason. Without further ado or prelude, here are some famous people who are tall for absolutely no reason.

1. Vince Vaughn

The Wedding Crashers star is 6'5". He hovers above his other co-stars, casting(at times) a rather intimidating shadow over his coworkers.

When the inevitable major motion picture comes out about Russia's involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election, Vince Vaughn will play James Comey. Mark my words. Speaking of...

2. James Comey

The erstwhile director of the FBI towered over his other government compatriots while in office. He's 6'8". For a point of reference, he's the exact same size as NBA superstar LeBron James. Don't tell me he couldn't be a solid stretch 4 on an Eastern Conference contender.

3. Mikhail Prokhorov

Prokhorov, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, stands 6'8', just like James Comey. The Nets were, by far, the worst team in the NBA this past season. Maybe the Russian billionaire should suit up?

4. Steve Ballmer

Steve Ballmer(or Gru, as I like to call him), the former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, is 6'5". While his team produced quality on-court results this year, they really could use a quality wing. Ballmer's roughly the right height. Someone ought to make that happen!

5. Brooke Shields

The Pretty Baby star is an even 6'0". Somehow, I always thought that she was taller than that. Something about the way Shields carries herself just makes her seem 6'4".

6. Taylor Swift

The Bad Blood singer measures out at 5'10". She frequently wears heels, though, which add inches to her long, lanky frame.
