Eva Longoria wishes Karlie Kloss happy birthday with funny photo

Eva Longoria has poked fun at her height in a funny Instagram post in honour of pal Karlie Kloss' birthday.

The former Desperate Housewives actress has become friends with the supermodel through their roles as L'Oreal brand ambassadors and on Wednesday (03Aug16), Eva took to social media to share a sweet message for Karlie as she turned 25 - while also taking the opportunity to have a laugh at her own expense.

The Latin beauty, who stands at just five feet, two inches (1.58 metres), shared a photo of the two friends standing side by side with their dresses pulled up to display their thighs as they jokingly compared leg lengths, with six foot, one inch (1.86 metre) tall Karlie's long pins almost reaching Eva's chest.

"Happy birthday to this bada** with the long legs!," the newlywed captioned the snap, quipping, "(Oh I'm talking about @karliekloss because this picture can be confusing) We're basically twins!!!"

"Have a blessed day, month, and many years to come!!" Eva, 41, added.
