Who is shorter dustin hoffman and tom cruise

Jack Black is one of those people we sometimes love to hate and it is down to the fact we hate to admit he is just so talented. He is a great actor, comedian, and musician and even sings in one of the funniest rock-parody bands of all time.

He may be one of the shortest men in Hollywood, but who cares when you can travel through time? Even their son has shot passed him. In real life, he may not be a socially awkward nerd, but he is short indeed. Perhaps, in comparison to his co-stars, his short height comes as quite a surprise to many. Bruno Mars captivates hearts all over the world with his charm and charisma. When he tells us through our sound systems that he will catch a grenade for us or that he thinks he wants to marry us, we just melt at the knees.

Here we have another Hobbit for the list. Martin Freeman was excellent in his role as Bilbo Baggins but it came as a surprise to many that he was chosen for the part.

However, when finding out that the British actor is only 5 foot 6, it seemed as though he had a little more in common with his character than we first thought. His shortness did not stop him from acting like a badass in his recent series Fargo. However, if you saw him in real life, you may not feel so intimidated. He has received some iconic roles such as in My Cousin Vinnie and Goodfellas , but he is best known for playing the nasty burglar Harry Lime in Home Alone.

He went on to quip that if he were cast in a football movie, it would be as a general manager, not the quarterback. Getty Images Charley Gallay. Perhaps more fascinating than his height, though?

The comedian has a medical degree and was a general practitioner before switching to acting. Getty Images David Becker. The blue-eyed actors are similar in height, but Wood, at 5 feet 6 inches tall, has an inch on Radcliffe. Getty Images Mike Windle. At 5 feet, 4 inches tall, Michael J.

Fox is among the shortest men in Hollywood. The neurological disorder causes trembles, stiffness and balance issues. In an interview with People , Fox said he believes researchers are getting close to being able to stop the progression of the disease.

Hoffman became arguably the most devoted student to come out of the Actors Studio. Dustin can do serious films and comedy so well; I loved him in 'Tootsie' and equally well in 'Rain Man', a role for which he had to research the behaviour of autistic people and he truly brought the condition the recognition it needed.

I think perhaps that he did more for people on the autistic spectrum than any documentary ever could! I did think Dustin was 5ft6! I know I heard it from some source or other, but if the actor is guilty of fiddling his height by a measly half-inch, who can blame him? I've heard far, far worse from people less in need of an extra bit of height!

He adds a really human aspect to his roles! How brilliant was he as the lawyer in 'Sleepers'? He is one fantastic actor! Actors seem tall because of camera and filters.

Also Al Pacino doesn't reach cm. MArketing make stars what is not so people spend more money It's only this. An holliwood scam to make people stupid gaining money. I met him on the streets of NYC. I see him at cm, he could be cm at peak but to make it strong i'd say his peak height is a strong cm at young age and nowadays cm. The story is, Leonard wrote the character in revenge for having been badly treated by Hoffman on a movie deal. Saw him walking down the street in LA several years ago.

Small guy, slight as well as short but with a loud, distinctive voice. I met him and we spoke for about 20 mins. I am 5'5" and he was at least " shorter than me. He claimed 5'6. I think 5. He's one of those rare actors who really make their films great, especially in the 70s.

He was sort of like the face of New Hollywood wasn't he. Love him. Generally though I agree he doesn't look under 5 ft 5. Honestly, seeing him next to Scarlet Johannson in Chef he looked 5'4" range. He looked a foot shorter than Jon Voigt in Midnight Cowboy Voigt, who was about 6'2, wore cowboy boots.

He also looked almost a foot shorter than 6'2 Warren Beatty in Ishtar. It's hard to imagine that he was ever even a fraction taller than 5'5. Probably 5'3. In Kramer versus Kramer he even has a line of dialogue that has nothing to do with the basic storyline where his character mentions in passing that he is short.

That "and three quarters" of an inch is meant as a joke, I'm sure. He was 5'5 at peak, never more of that. Now, he is about 5'4. He's not crazy short, just a bit short. Certainly doesn't look much more than that with, for example 5'6 Jack Black. Serious short. Its getting too much!

The man was a solid 5'5" guy in his heyday. Never more. Apparently he got therapy and managed to overcome it. There are scenes in the movie where freeman and Hoffman looked close in height. I'd say 5ft 6. This was also in the mid 90's. Solid 5ff 6in. Seemed like 1. I think Tom Cruise is Saw him in Hollywood a few years ago. Even 6'3. How tall is emma thompson?

She was at least ten cm taller than him, she had small heels. Samuel l jackson is cm. He always looked short. At his peak, I don't know.

When they sit down I can see the socks and ankle of both to determine and Cruise not wearing height props. I am very sure I got this right. I bet Cruse had 2" in his elevator dress shoes, thus making him look , exactly 4 inches taller than Hoffman, otherwise the Hoff is below 5'5, which I think it's impossible, he has never hid his real height, actually it serves him for his character acting.

Whether he actually claimed that I'm doubtful. He was a weak 5ft6 at best at peak cm and is now most likely 5ft5 flat.

He looks seriously short. In an interview with People , Fox said he believes researchers are getting close to being able to stop the progression of the disease. A small stature was an advantage for actor Charlie Chaplin during the silent film era.

Being small helped with contrast, which is key to comedy, according to his obituary in The New York Times that included some of the observations he made over the years. In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning , actor Danny DeVito discussed being short, saying when he was in school, he wanted to be comfortable and have friends and would try to compensate for his short height with his big personality.

It was mostly awkward at school dances, he said in the interview. Perhaps the high school senior who took a cardboard cutout of him to her prom made up for it? Tom Hollander … short? The actor, who is 5 feet 6 inches, has divided his time between China and Hollywood, starring in movies. Since then, it seems like the English actor has been everywhere. And did you know Galifianakis, who is 5 feet 7 inches, was in a Kanye West music video , too? Martin Lawrence is a comedic icon.

The show aired for 10 seasons before coming to an end in If you grew up in the s, you probably also know Mark Wahlberg as the kid brother of Donny from the boy band New Kids on the Block.

Also interesting is that the actor is a vegetarian and a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Comedy runs in the Stiller family.
