Movie magic means actors strutting away shrapnel-free from billowing explosions, cars transforming into walking robots, and making a 5' 7" Tom Cruise appear formidable beside a 6'1" Henry Cavill. It's all about angles. And platform shoes. And because of all that magic, we forget that some of the most exciting, ass-kicking actors are actually smaller than they seem on screen. (Except for the Rock, Arnold, Jason Momoa, Idris Elba, and Chris Hemsworth; they are actually gods.) Off screen, Frodo is taller than Harry Potter and Ant-Man is far from the shortest Avenger. Here are a few other actors whose height you may not have known.
