they may be vertically challenged but
they’re still larger-than-life is it
better to be feared or respected welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
surprisingly short celebrities some of
those people are here tonight for this
list we’re focusing on celebrities that
are reported to stand at five eight or
less note however that we can’t actually
pinpoint their exact Heights so we’re
going off the information available or
what is most commonly stated Oh what you
see news yeah just for 15 years number
10
Shakira five foot two this petite
Colombians hips may not lie but all
those high heels she wears have
certainly deceived us not only can
secure a sing dance and model but she
can do it all with success at only five
feet and two inches
the award-winning musician and
entrepreneur knows how to make a big
impression
despite her small size and the more than
70 million albums she sold are more than
enough proof of that
as the first person to reach 100 million
followers on Facebook it’s not such a
stretch to say that we’ll follow her
whenever wherever she goes online at
least
number nine Rooney Mara
five-foot-three nod you may know this
actress from her ass-kicking role in
David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo or her more subdued performance
in 2015’s Carol however before Rooney
Mara ever became a name
she was already part of a well-to-do
family with roots and connections to
both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New
York Giants yeah I mean I grew up in New
York my dad works for the Giants so fun
while Rooney Mara now stands out among
her footballing family she does so at a
mere five foot three inches tall number
eight
jeremy renner five foot eight tell him
to put his hands behind his head or I
will shoot him this action star has been
listed at five foot ten here and there
but Jeremy Renner is just a little bit
smaller than he or at least as people
would like you to believe you know I
didn’t know that they made bulletproof
bro it’s just me but hi I didn’t know
what they need to make or bulletproof
condoms big enough to fit your big head
if you look at him in films like SWAT
The Hurt Locker or the Bourne Legacy
you’d think you’re looking at a pretty
big dude right well not necessarily as
he’s only about five eight despite the
seemingly towering presence that he’s
capable of projecting and that’s
partially what makes him such a talented
actor as he can step into the shoes of a
big-time character and make us believe
that he’s a physical giant nobody would
know nobody last I saw I’m an all trauma
city item oh yeah I’ll be missed
little bastard number seven Christina
Aguilera five foot two
this pop diva exploded onto the scene
with powerful vocals in the late 90s and
as the years passed her curvy physique
and outlandish stage clothes
unsurprisingly drew plenty of attention
but if you stand face to face with
Christina Aguilera you’ll notice a
startling fact she’s tiny don’t mess
with the niya neck standing just 5 foot
2 with some sources stating she’s 5 foot
1 she’s nearly pocket-sized well there’s
certainly nothing wrong with being
vertically challenged it is surprising
given the hugeness of her voice
number six Lady Gaga five-foot-one
Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta
otherwise known as Lady Gaga is actually
shorter than Xtina
if only by one inch at most part of the
Gaga persona is her larger-than-life
personality and dynamic stage presence
both of which heighten each spectacular
note
so when Gaga has so much going on
theatrically and vocally one may not
realize how much or rather how little
space she actually takes up got the one
of that I think the hottest woman on the
carpet I know she’s wonderful right okay
yeah of course in the realm of pop
culture she takes up plenty and with
good reason but it’s truly hard to
believe that she’s just a little over
sixty inches tall sounds like she was
born that way
number five Tom Cruise five-foot-seven
my team my team is dead there are a lot
of things about Tom Cruise that are
surprising but here’s one particular
fact that just may blow your mind Tom
Cruise the star of the mission
impossible franchise and countless
box-office sensations clocks in at just
five seven cruise is so short in fact
that even despite his impressive
athleticism it’s unlikely that any
professional sports team would let him
take the field some people get to be
athletes some can only pretend to be
their agent congratulations is still my
agent life is a cruel mistress but Tom
seems to have made the best of it we
don’t think he’s at home crying
especially considering his net worth
been estimated at 480 million dollars
first take a big step back and literally
dog face number 4 James McAvoy
five-foot-seven Tennessee invitations
please yes you may
he’s to it with me go ahead part
dramatic heartthrob part badass action
star this Scottish actor has that stern
type of look that you don’t typically
correlate with shorter individuals James
McAvoy’s intense brooding and devilish
ways distract from his vertically
challenged body five foot seven isn’t
all that uncommon it’s just that he’s
such a boss and wanted that it doesn’t
seem to make sense
Wesley Gibson seems like a guy that
could maybe dunk a basketball but in
reality James McAvoy would surely get
owned by the rim if he can even get up
there that’s it you’re just gonna walk
out top marks like I said you are
perceptive
number three Sylvester Stallone 5 foot 7
to 5 foot 10 you know if you guys could
sing a dance I wouldn’t be doing this
you know we hate to break it to you
casual Sylvester Stallone fan but as
much as Rocky Balboa may have plenty of
muscles and very little body fat he’s
still a relatively short short human
being
it’s just a fact and it’s one that movie
executives probably thought about back
in the day when sly walked into their
office and had to sit on top of two
books just to see them eye to eye who
knows maybe the machismo alone seemingly
adds two or three inches I could try to
tank those in charge of million dollar
equipment back here I can be hauling
Johnson fucking guard and that could be
why Google lists his height at 510 but
further investigation seems to suggest
he’s anywhere between five seven and
five nine in the end though it doesn’t
really matter cuz whatever his height
may be would you tell Sylvester Stallone
that he’s too short for a role what
about The Hague
number two Kanye West five foot six to
five foot eight Kanye may be busy
collecting nicknames but have you ever
noticed that none of them includes the
word big that’s cuz easy shorter than
spud Webb or about a full foot smaller
than air Jordan if you believe some
sources we’d hate to throw a stereotype
around but they’re just maybe a little
short man syndrome going on here no
matter how much Kanye boasts and informs
the masses of his pure genius he’s still
too short to go on the big boy rides at
the local fair I’m not not only not just
about myself I’m about humanity how can
we make the world better
all right we’re obviously kidding about
that last one but he is most often
listed as being either five foot six or
five foot eight on the interwebs how
could you be so before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
number one Robert Downey jr.
five-foot-eight what’s wrong nothing I’m
just going into cardiac arrest cuz you
yank I thought this was safe a lure with
all due respect to the vast filmography
of mr. Robert Downey jr. many associate
him with Iron Man I am Iron Man
not 1985’s weird science or his tenure
on SNL while Tony Stark as a character
isn’t necessarily based in pure bravado
like his colleagues it seems like he’s
one that can stare any villain directly
in the eye and not somebody that must
hurl insults while looking upwards and
trying to squeeze his five-foot-eight
frame into a metal suit but that’s the
reality of Robert Tony
Iron Man Stark Downey jr. four inches
shorter than Captain Chris Evans and 7
inches shorter than Thor actor Chris
Hemsworth he gives up the cube he’s all
yours until then stay out of the way
