Jacob Elordi claims 6'5 in imperial and 197 cm in metric (source), which is actually 6'5.6. Australians use the metric system so we can assume 197 cm is the accurate number and he rounds it to 6'5 for Americans, I doubt a guy of that size would feel the need to inflate his height (if anything he's said he had to downlist it to get parts early in his career). So he's almost 6'6 (198 cm), the average NBA height. This is him compared to his father in the show, played by 6'1 Eric Dane (who might actually be slightly shorter now since he's in his 50s, and appears to have some knee hyperextension or swayback):
this is Elordi barefoot in front of Dane wearing shoes, so assuming a 1-inch heel he's basically 6'2 here:
Finally, the two of them on a red carpet photo, though Dane is closer to the camera so it's not fully reliable. The photo also shows the difference between Elordi and 5'10, the guy with the orange suit, 3 inches shorter than 6'1:
Considering Elordi is literal NBA height which is almost 0th percentile even in the tallest countries, is this really that bad? Yeah 6'1 looks noticeably shorter compared to a giant, but it's hardly borderline manlet-tier if it takes a guy of that size to make you look somewhat short.
