"As soon as I touched the mic, I knew that's what I would do for the rest of my life."
~ Leslie Jones
American comedian and actress, Leslie Jones is perhaps best known for her work in Saturday Night Live.
Leslie Jones is known for her size as well. She is a big woman who is blessed with some prime genetics. How not so when she is six feet tall (by her own claim), has a deep voice, and weighs north of 200 lb -- and still doesn't look overweight.
We mean there are other tall women in the entertainment industry like Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman, etc, but only a few of them (like Gwendoline Christie) give the impression of size like Leslie Jones.
After taking a careful look at Leslie Jones and comparing her height to that of people like Amy Schumer (5'7"), Drake (6"), Chris Hemsworth (6'3"), we think Leslie Jones looks her claim and a bit -- how not so when she towers over Kevin Hart like he is her own red-headed stepchild.
The height of Leslie Jones is
6" or 183 cm
