A Towering Presence: Daisy Ridley’s Height Comparison

Standing at 5′ 7″ (170 cm), she not only towers over Carrie Fisher, who stood at just 5’1″ (155 cm), but also surpasses the average height of an English woman.

The average height for women in England is approximately 5′ 3″ (161 cm), making Daisy’s stature notable compared to the beloved actress and the typical female in England.
