Regardless of whether or not Bruno Mars ever stars in his own feature film, we have no reservations about saying that he's 100% a Hollywood performer. Not only has he lent his talents to a number of movie soundtracks, but everything about him is pure box office. As a combination of singer, musician, and dancer, he might be the best we've seen since Michael Jackson was in his prime - and he still has many years ahead of him. Topping 'Uptown Funk' might not be easy, but we're sure he'll give it a try.
Mars' real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, which doesn't have quite as much star quality to it. We can see why he chose to hide that under a much more fame-friendly moniker. What he can't mask, however, is his height. Mars is a mere 5 foot 5. He might not be able to reach things off a high shelf, but he'd still catch a grenade for you if it came to it, and we think that's more important.
