ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI: The American actor Evan Peters, recognized for his roles in television shows like 'American Horror Story' and 'Invasion', as well as films like 'Kick-Ass', 'Never Back Down', 'The Lazarus Project', and 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', stands at a height of 5 ft 9 ¾ inches (177.2 cm) as per Celebrity Heights.
The actor revealed he had to tie lead weights around his arms and insert lifts in his shoes to get Dahmer’s physicality and height right.
How tall was Evan Peters in 'Dahmer'?
As per IMDb, Evan Peters’ height was increased to around 5 ft 11 inches (180 cm) in the movie ‘Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ to correspond to the real Jeffrey Dahmer’s height.
In a conversation with Variety, Peters said he “basically stayed in this character, as difficult as it was, for months”.
In the extensive preparation and filming period lasting four months and six months, respectively, Evan Peters, as noted by the producer, Ryan Murphy, underwent a dedicated process to embody Dahmer's physicality.
This involved wearing lead weights around his arms and lifts in his shoes to authentically capture the character's distinctive 'look' as captured in archival footage.
“He has a very straight back. He doesn’t move his arms when he walks, so I put weights on my arms to see what that felt like. I wore the character shoes with lifts in them, his jeans, his glasses, I had a cigarette in my hand at all times,” Evans explained.
Nevertheless, Peters says he wouldn’t be the success he is today without the support of his parents, Julie and Phil Peters.
Is Evan Peters taller than his girlfriend?
Even though he is reportedly single as of 2023, Evan Peters’ height of 5 ft 9 ¾ inches (177.2 cm) was far more than his ex-girlfriend, Emma Roberts. Roberts is only 5 ft 2 inches (157.48 cm) tall.
Emma Roberts was Evan Peters' longest relationship and Peters has stayed single after they broke up, as per ELLE.
Their journey began when they met while filming 'Adult World' in February 2012, leading to them officially dating later that year. Peters proposed a year later in 2013.
The couple faced a turning point in 2015 when they called off the engagement, only to reunite three months later in 2016.
However, their relationship encountered another setback nine months thereafter, culminating in a definitive closure in March 2019, marking the end of their on-again-off-again relationship.
