In today's celebrity driven world, looks and physical stature seem to be everything, but you might be surprised at just how many of the top celebs are not as tall as you might have thought. Clever camera angles, high-heeled shoes, and a bit of clever Photoshop work can make anyone look like a giant. Here are ten big name celebrities that whose real height may surprise you.
Scarlet Johansson
Scarlet Johansson began her acting career at as a child and she appeared in her first movie, North, at the age of nine. She has since appeared in no end of movies and has also enjoyed a successful singing career too. Most recently, she appeared as the Black Widow in Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron. What you probably didn't know, though, is that this giant the Marvel Cinematic Universe is actually only 5'2".
Daniel Radcliffe
Harry Potter may have possessed great power, but the actor who played him in the movies, Daniel Radcliffe, does not possess great height. You might have thought that Daniel Radcliffe's small stature was down to his age at the time he made the Harry Potter movies, but he's nearly 30 now, and he still measures up at a modest 5'4".
Elijah Wood
Perhaps Elijah Wood appearing on this list won't surprise you at all; after all he did play the part of Frodo Baggins the Hobbit Trilogy. He's no stranger to looking up at his co-stars in movies, because he began his career as a child actor. He's much too big to be a real Hobbit, though, he stands tall(ish) and proud at 5'6".
Tom Cruise
Movie star Tom Cruise, whose real name is Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, always looked so tall and dashing in movies like Top Gun, Cocktail, and more recently, the Mission Impossible films. However, the real Tom Cruise height is a mere 5'4" and nothing like the towering six feet plus that he often appears to be in his films.
Kevin Hart
Comedian Kevin Hart knows how to get the big laughs, both on stage and on the big screen, but in real life, he's not such a giant. The star of Little Fockers and Grudge Match, and one of the hottest comedy acts around today only reaches 5'2" tall on a tape measure.
