Jordan Chiles is enjoying her offseason from gymnastics, and hit up “The Happy Place on Earth” at Disneyland where she took an epic photo with a giant Chewbacca character.

The 24-year-old Chiles returned to college after winning a gold medal with Team USA in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris after a year hiatus. She helped lead the UCLA Bruins to a national runner-ups at the NCAAs while she won a natty in the uneven bars.

She’s since been all over the place after posing for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and attending the red carpet in an amazing dress with Livvy Dunne, and then rocking a cowboy bikini look for Miami Swim. She just rocked a custom leather Nike miniskirt at Fanatics Fest in New York, and then took in a Las Vegas Aces game in a sick A’ja Wilson fit.

After all that, Chiles continued the fun at Disneyland where she shared some awesome pictures like with Mickey.

But the best was her with the Star Wars hero Chewbacca, where the Wookiee known as “Chewy” was so much taller than the 4-foot-11 gymnast it almost looks unreal.

In the Star Wars world, Chewy stands 7-foot-6. The actor who played him in the original films, Peter Mayhew, was 7-foot-3.

This is a pretty tall version on Chewy vs. Chiles, who usually looks tiny in any situation.
