Johnson said that he’s unsettled by tall celebrities.
“You meet some of these guys and they’re too tall,” he opined.
“Chris Pine is too tall.
That man needs to knock it down a few inches.”
The comedian also said that certain musicians' heights don’t match up with their energy.
“Win Butler just walked by, from Arcade Fire,” he said.
“I’m sorry, but everyone in Arcade Fire should be about 5'6”."

Johnson later revealed his threshold for a comfortable height: his own stature.
“I’m 5'10”, Paul Rudd’s 5'10", Mikey Day’s 5'10".
That’s the right height to be.
It pisses me off."
