Male Celebrities Who Are Way Shorter Than People Expect
Men in the spotlight typically have a certain charm and charisma. Their hair is thick, styled, and dreamy, and they have that "I'd love to respect you" smile they flash so often on press tours. And above all else, they should stand with significant height, right? Not quite. There's a cluster of these celebs that have achieved tremendous success, despite their lack of towering stature. Who can really pinpoint these short kings when viewing them from afar, be it a stage or screen? The answer may surprise.
1. Prince
Standing at 5'2", Prince had enough energy to support a few extra feet. The "Purple Rain" singer was a giant in the music industry, even without platform shoes. Who knows what else he could have offered through his artistic talents?
2. Martin Scorsese
At 5'3", Scorsese may not have height on his side, but he does have a place in film history. With nine Oscar nominations for Best Director and one win, Scorsese cemented his place in Hollywood by reinventing the gangster/crime genre.
3. Aziz Ansari
From head to toe, Ansari stands at 5'6" and has raised himself even higher to reach his goals. From Master of None to his comedy sketches, Ansari pushed Indian/Muslim representation in media.
4. Al Pacino
Even though he is only 5'7", Pacino actually had to be made to look even smaller while filming The Irishman. To look taller, Robert De Niro, who performed his scenes next to Pacino, had to walk around in platforms. Chalk it up to movie magic.
