According to Mark Consuelos, the ankles can reveal more about a person than you might think.

While discussing virtual umpires in the MLB on Thursday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, Consuelos explained that “each strike zone is a little bit different to each player because of their height,” teasing that he realized that “baseball players have been lying for a long time about their height.”

“68 players, they were listed at 6 feet or above, whose height now begins with the dreaded five,” he read.

It’s no secret that both Consuelos and Kelly Ripa are petite. Ripa asked her husband and co-host, “Why is it dreaded?”

Consuelos replied, “I don’t know, I’ve been living with it my whole life! It doesn’t start with a 6.”

After Consuelos said that baseball players “want the smallest strike zone as you can possibly have,” the Scream 7 star conceded how actors may fib about their height, too.

“I guess actors do, I mean, when you have to slate and they say, ‘How tall are you?’ I’m like, ‘I’m 5’…. 9″, something,’” he quipped. “And they’re like, ‘Are you?’”

Ripa also teased how actors who stop by Live can’t get away with lying about how tall they are.

“We interview actors here, so we know,” she said. “Because we have eyes.”

Consuelos claimed that he’s seen “people that got taller,” and revealed his secret to determining whether that growth was natural or not.

“Do you know what you do? You look at the ankles,” he shared.

As for what a person’s ankles may tell, Consuelos said that if someone’s ankles are “frequently raising above their shoe, there’s something inside the shoe.”

“Telltale sign,” he added.

However, Ripa teased that’s not really the case for women, who can wear heels, instead.

“See, with women, we put our lifts outside of our shoes,” she said. “We just platform ourselves up there. We don’t care.”
