why information about heights is never in centimetres or meters even though the metric system is the most used?
25+ Celebrities That Are Actually Taller or Shorter Than They Look on Screen

Directors often use different tricks to make movie characters look a bit taller. They make them wear boots with thick soles or they give them big hairstyles, so it may be hard for viewers to understand what someone’s actual height is. In real life, the stars may be taller or shorter than what they appear to be on screen.

Just wanted to complain too. I don't understand how tall or short they are :(
One inch is approx 2.54, so just multiply by it :)
I think it's too much effort. Would be nice to just see info in meter-centimeters ?
the most shocking for me is Jackie Chang at 5'7. He looks so short on screen. Had no idea he's taller than i am.😄
