Her name is ‘Kristin H’. Anyway, Shaq is 7’1", and based on the video she seems to be about the same height. I heard some people say ‘she is standing on a box’, but if you look at the video the length of her arm going from shoulder to fingers is about as long as Shaq’s arm, so I doubt she is standing on a box. If she were her arm would be noticeably shorter than his.
She seems (like him) to be a well proportioned tall person. She isn’t lanky and disproportionate (extra long legs and arms) like many extremely tall people are.
So does anyone know who this woman is? Is she just a random woman who happens to be about 7’ tall, telegenic and well proportioned who doesn’t do any acting or sports?
A little googling suggests that she might be an actress named Kristin Hensley, though pictures of her are mostly brunette. Her online resume lists her height at 5’8".
Look at the distance from hips to shoulders. Hers is about 2/3 of Shaq’s. Her shoulders are below his, and her hips are higher than his. I think she’s standing on something.
Definitely agreed. I don’t think that she’s a short woman (if she isn’t Hensley, she could be even somewhat taller than 5’8"), but I really doubt she’s even close to 7’ tall.
Her arm is noticeably shorter than his; I’ve got the video paused at 9 seconds and both have their arm closest to the camera hanging similarly, though Shaq’s is bent more. Shaq’s fingers can’t be seen since they extend below the frame, while only the lady’s fingertips extend below. Also, his should looks to be a good 6" higher than hers. Those two things combined with his greater arm bend probably make his arm close to a foot longer than hers.
You also notice that for the first few scenes she’s only about 2" shorter than him, but the angle changes slightly for the following scenes and she seems to be standing in a place where she’s 5-6" shorter than him.
Then look at the end of the video where he high fives her and she has to jump. You only have to jump when the other person is significantly taller than you. If you pause the video during her jump when the top of her head is about even with his you seen that her kneecaps are about mid level on his thigh. Since she appears to have normal proportions from the knees up, she’d need to have freakish ostrich shins to be close to his height.
Lastly look at her jump; she doesn’t jump that high and seems to land higher than you’d expect given her proportions. Looks like she’s standing on a raised platform to me.
