The average height for a male in the UK and Ireland is 1.5 metres. But many celebrities are much shorter than the average statistic
As it turns out, actors and singers don't have to be a certain height to make it in Hollywood.
They say the camera adds ten pounds, but it also seems to add about 5 inches.
These stars are among the shortest men.
Cillian Murphy – 1.7 meters
Cillian Murphy is only 1,7 meters.
Although he is classed as below average height by UK standards, the Peaky Blinders star, 44, appears much taller on screen.
Cillian is married to Irish artist Yvonne McGuinness with whom he has two children - Malachy and Aran.
Simon Cowell – 1.8 meters
Simon Cowell is much shorter in real life than he looks on screen.
The 60-year-old is only 1.8 meters tall.
This hasn't changed his success or luck with the ladies as his net worth is up to £385 million.
Leonardo DiCaprio – 1.8 meters
Although he reaches above the average height scale by 5 cm, Leonardo DiCaprio's height is somewhat surprising.
The "Titanic" actor looks like he's 15cm taller in red carpet photos over the years.
Brad Pitt – 1.8 meters
Like Di Caprio, Brad Pitt is also 1.8 meters tall.
The 56-year-old actor is regarded as one of the most handsome men in the world, but seems to have been a bit insecure about his height in the past.
Sometimes Brad can look much taller thanks to his stature, but he also often wears block heels to add a few inches.
Jack Black – 1.7 meters
Actor Jack Black, in real life, is 1,7 meters tall.
He is much shorter than expected but excels in his roles nonetheless.
James McAvoy – 1.7 meters
James McAvoy may be shorter than the average UK male, but that hasn't stopped him from achieving career success.
In fact, the actor has previously praised the height, insisting that he doesn't need to look like Brad Pitt in order to win countless awards for his skills.
The Scottish star previously stated: "I'm 1.7 metres tall and I have fair skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong. But I'm not Brad Pitt."
Mark Wahlberg – 1.7 meters
The actor Ted admitted that admirers always consider him taller than he is in reality, writes Class.
"Speaking to NBC News in 2012, Boston admitted: "I've been told I look taller on screen. A girlfriend said to me, 'You look 1.9 feet XNUMX inches on screen.'"
"People look at me and say, 'Oh my God, what happened?' I can look away from the movie look. The camera changes everyone."
Jonah Hill – 1.7 meters
