They look bigger on screen – just how vertically challenged are the music industry’s Bruno Mars and Marc Anthony, and the film world’s Robert Downey Jr, Danny DeVito, Rami Malek and Jeremy Allen White?
Statuesque songstress Taylor Swift recently put the spotlight back on ex-boyfriend Matty Healy with “The Smallest Man that Ever Lived”, a song supposedly about him – and which the internet sees as potentially taking a swipe at his 175cm (5ft 9 inch) height.
But Healy, of course, is far from the smallest or shortest guy in the entertainment industry. In showbiz today, as in previous eras (pun intended), there are plenty of short kings who make up for their lack of height with a surfeit of charisma.
Here are some of the industry’s shortest male stars ranked by their heights, according to IMDB.
10. Robert Downey Jr, 59
Height: 173cm (5ft 8 inches)

As Marvel’s Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr proves that you can be any height and be a superhero. Once known as one of Hollywood’s biggest bad boys, Downey was listed as Hollywood’s highest-paid actor between 2013 and 2015, per Forbes.
9. Rami Malek, 43
Height: 171cm (5ft 7 ½ inches)
At 171cm (5ft 7 ½ inches), Rami Malik is 2cm shorter than his partner, actress Emma Corrin – but luckily a centimetre taller than the next two stars on our list, including Tom Cruise. Malik has played everyone from musical icon Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) to villain Lyutsifer Safin in No Time to Die (2021), making him a pint-sized force to be reckoned with in film.
8. Jeremy Allen White, 33
Height: 170cm (5ft 7 inches)
