The shortest men in Hollywood
When we think of Hollywood stars, we immediately imagine "perfect" handsome men and women with snow-white smiles, slender figures, or a toned torso and tall stature. However, external parameters can never outweigh sincere charisma and true talent. The shortest men in Hollywood are vivid proof of this. While no one believed that these actors with their height could succeed in movies, they worked tirelessly and conquered the industry with their charms.
OBOZ.UA decided to dedicate an article to five actors who, despite their short stature, became Hollywood stars. They prove that you don't need to be tall to be successful, happy, and live a full life.
Danny DeVito (147 cm)
This American actor, comedian, director, and producer has gained worldwide fame for his roles in the films The War of the Roses, Batman Returns, Matilda, Twins, and many other successful projects. In the '60s, he studied at an acting school in New York, where he struck up a great friendship with Michael Douglas that continues to this day.
As a great recognition of his career, in 2011 DeVito received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor is known for his hot-tempered personality, eccentric appearance, and self-irony. He doesn't hesitate to joke about his height, making it part of his comedic image. DeVito is also a happy family man. He is married to actress Rhea Perlman, with whom he has three children and a beautiful story of endless love.
Peter Dinklage (135 cm)
This British actor became a real star after playing Tyrion Lannister in the cult series Game of Thrones. Dinklage has won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for his masterful performance. He is an example of how acting talent can overcome any barriers, including height.
Dinklage was born with achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism. Despite his desire to be an actor, Peter refused to play the stereotypical roles of dwarves and elves. Eventually, he became a global star, realizing himself as a dramatic actor. One of the latest films with Dinklage's participation is a prequel to the equally iconic The Hunger Games.
The filmmaker has also realized himself as a family man. He is happily married to theater director Erika Schmidt, with whom he has two children.
Tony Cox (127 cm)
The American actor and comedian became famous for his roles in the films Elf, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and Paycheck. Cox is not afraid to take on complex and ambiguous roles, proving that a comedic actor can be dramatic.
The actor broke stereotypes, as his role in Bad Santa was a rare case of a dwarf man playing the lead role. Cox met his future wife, Othelia, while studying in high school. They eventually married in 1981 when the star was 23 years old, and they are still together.
Warwick Ashley Davis (107 cm)
The British actor is best known for his role as Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter series of films. Davis also played in the films The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
In addition to his acting career, in 1995, Davis, along with another dwarf actor and his father-in-law Peter Burrows, founded Willow Management, a talent agency that specializes in representing actors under 5 feet (1.52 m) tall. He is also a co-founder of Little People UK, a charity organization that provides support to people with dwarfism and their families.
In 1991, Davis married Samantha Burrows, with whom he has three beautiful children.
Verne Troyer (81 cm)
The American actor gained worldwide fame for his role as Minnie Mee in the Austin Powers series of films. Troyer also played in the films Goblin and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Several times the actor appeared as himself in reality series.
In 2018, the world was stunned by the news of the death of the 81-centimeter-tall actor. He was only 49 years old. He shared the last 11 years of his life with his beloved Britney Powell.
