11 Actors Who Turned out to Be a Different Height Than We Imagined

Sometimes it happens that an actor is perfect for a role except for one thing — their height. In this case, moviemakers have to use different tricks to make their characters look like they are described in the script.

Anne Hathaway is 5 feet 8 inches tall, and her co-star Robert De Niro is 5 feet 9 inches tall. But the problem was that her character was wearing high heels during the entire movie, so in the scenes where Anne and Robert were together, they had to look like in the photo on the right which was taken at the movie premiere. But for some unknown reason, the moviemakers decided that De Niro had to look taller than Hathaway in the movie.

Nicole Kidman (5 feet 11 inches) and Charlize Theron (5 feet 10 inches) are among the tallest Hollywood actresses. So, it’s no wonder that their co-stars are often made to look taller than they really are, to look good on screen. And this is precisely what the makers of the drama Bombshell did to Margot Robbie, who’s 5 feet 6 inches tall.
