It’s actually surprisingly difficult to work out how tall movie stars are, as you often find that when you see them they are far different to what you’d imagine. For example, in The Hunger Games you wouldn’t particularly think that Josh Hutcherson was just 5ft 5in tall, or that little Will Poulter from We’re The Millers and Maze Runner is actually 6ft 2in high (and actually seems taller).
Vulture and Celebheights have decided to help us see exactly how tall some of Hollywood’s hottest hunk are, from Josh Hutcherson at one end to the gangling Angsel Elgort (6ft 4in) at the other. It is oddly interesting, as would you have thought Tom Hiddleston was a fuller eight inches taller than Dave Franco? Or that while Tom Hardy often looks very big on screen, he’s actually a pretty average 5ft 9in?
Movie trickery often works to obscure differences in height, so it’s more difficult to guess an actor’s height than you’d think. And in case you were wondering, while Tom Cruise isn’t on here, the famously short actor is actually a not too tiny 5ft 7in and doesn’t look as minuscule in real life as rumours would have you believe.
