10 Celebrity Men Who Are Shorter Than You Thought

On the big screen, A-listers may often look larger than life. However, that physicality is sometimes only an optical illusion. These famous guys prove that the average height is far higher than you may assume.
The following men, who are unexpectedly small for their respective fields, demonstrate that you don't need to be six feet tall to succeed in show business. Many successful leading men have been on the shorter side. Prince, who was just 5'3", was one example (though this may have been for the best - if he were any taller, he might have been too much larger than life to handle).
Here are several famous guys shorter than you may have expected, including Bruno Mars, Tom Cruise, Aziz Ansari, and Daniel Radcliffe. On the plus side, they are ideal on-screen partners for famous actresses on the petite side.
