27 Unexpectedly Short Celebrities

Short but sweet - by Susannah Guthrie

27 Unexpectedly Short Celebrities

While on screen our favourite celebrities may seem larger than life height-wise, off-screen they're often the exact opposite.

Whether through movie magic, stiletto heels or some good old-fashioned perspective play (i.e. placing them next to unusually small props), some of Hollywood's biggest names often manage to fill the screen—a feat that belies their diminutive real-life stature.

Of course, the reverse can also be true and stars can appear taller in person (ahem, Zendaya), but more often than not, actor and actresses are on the smaller side.

Celebrities Who Are Unexpectedly Short

To illustrate just how much perspective can change things, we've rounded up 27 celebrities who are surprisingly small in stature (but big on talent).

NB: All heights listed are reported measurements only.
