The Shortest Men In Hollywood Who Prove Height Is Not an Issue

When watching our favorite Hollywood hunks on the big screen, it is hard to notice that some may be lacking in a certain department. No, not that! We are talking about their height…

Tom Cruise – 5’7″

There have been numerous discussion boards and blogs that try to prove Tom Cruise is two inches less than 5’7″. Some have even clocked all the moments that Cruise has worn heeled boots or shoe lifts. Meanwhile, he still insists on dating women who are “a little” taller than him.

Ben Stiller – 5’7″

It seems that short men really are the funniest as Ben Stiller, who is known for his epic comedy movies, has also made the cut. He played a really, really, really, really good looking model (sorry, fan joke) in Zoolander, however, it is pretty unlikely he would manage to get the modeling gig in real life seeing as he is only 5’7″. Thanks to his 5’5″ actor father, Jerry Stiller, Ben chose the right path by following in his footsteps.

Al Pacino – 5’7″

If you are alive, you’ve probably heard of Al Pacino. He is a man with a prolific career including acting and an ability to write and direct films. Unfortunately for him, however, being 5 feet 7 inches almost cost him his role in The Godfather. It was revealed during a Tribeca film festival that Paramount producers thought he was “too short” for the role. Although one of the most talented in the business, height isn’t one of his many talents.

Martin Scorsese – 5’3″

When once asked about his thoughts on sports, the producer/director/actor replied, “Sports? Anything with a ball, no good!” Martin Scorsese’s reaction may be due to his little height of only 5 feet 3 inches. Surely the actor would not have made for a good starting forward in a basketball match. However, he did not need sports, as today he is one of the most influential directors in Hollywood. You may recognize the little man from his appearances in Curb Your Enthusiasm and 30 Rock.
