There's a textbook image that everybody has in their heads about what a Hollywood leading man should look like. According to that image, the men who play big roles in movie blockbusters should be charismatic, handsome, and tall. Presence on the big screen is linked to height, rightly or wrongly.
Because of that, we have a tendency to believe that the male actors we see in our favorite films are over six feet tall. There are some obvious exceptions, like Danny DeVito or Tom Cruise, but for the main part, we usually imagine that Hollywood is a land of giants.
We have news for you - it isn't! Just like the textbook man being 'tall, dark, and handsome,' the connection between height and prominence is a myth. The men who appear on today's list might be big name actors, but they're nowhere near as big in stature as you probably imagined!
