Jason Statham 5'10" (1.78 m) Statham may not be short short, but when your action co-star is 6'5" Dwayne Johnson, you look pretty ... short. Still, Statham has the athleticism to perform moves The Rock can't. Consider it a trade off. David Crotty - Getty Images

Matt Damon 5'10" (1.78 m) Another short-ish Boston boy. Too bad Damon's always seen next to 6'4" bud Ben Affleck. Noam Galai - Getty Images
Martin Freeman 5'6" (1.69 m) Sherlock is a solid 6' (and so just misses this list). In the novels , however, Holmes is well over 6', making a shorter Watson appropriate. Jeff Spicer - Getty Images

Kit Harington 5'8" (1.73 m) Standing next to Denmark's Nikolaj Coster-Waldau 6'2" certainly doesn't help. Kit, however, is used to height jokes from his very tall costars. His hair helps him out. Rich Polk - Getty Images

Dave Franco 5'7" (1.7 m); James Franco 5' 11" (1.8 m) The siblings have starred together in four films. Kevin Mazur - Getty Images
Luke Hemsworth 5'9" (1.77 m) Luke is far from being "short," but standing next to his brother Chris (6' 3"), yeah, he's looking a little tiny. The God of Thunder will do that to you. Todd Williamson - Getty Images

Brad Pitt 5'11" (1.8 m) Brad Pitt! The Ocean's costars are just flirting with 6 foot glory. George must be slouching here. Jason Merritt - Getty Images

James McAvoy 5'7" (1.7 m) McAvoy just misses the average height of his Scottish countryman: 5'9". NBC - Getty Images
Stanley Tucci 5'8" (1.73 m) Tucci proves that dressing slim can help you look taller. NBC - Getty Images

Sylvester Stallone 5'9" (1.77 m) Matched up against 6'5" Dolph Lundgren (Drago) and 6'2" Carl Weathers (Creed) doesn't make you look any taller. Chuck Wepner, the real-life boxer upon which Rocky is loosely based, was 6'5". Photoshot - Getty Images
Don Cheadle 5'7" (1.72 m) Paul Rudd's Ant Man might take crap for being the shorter Avenger, but this is the second hero on this list that Rudd can see over. Rudd is 5'10" (1.78 m). Tibrina Hobson - Getty Images

Jeremy Renner 5'9" (1.75 m) Aaaand another Avenger shorter than Ant Man. Seriously, Scott should stop taking shit. Jacopo Raule - Getty Images
Daniel Craig 5'10" (1.78 m) Craig is the shortest actor to play James Bond. His muscular stature reflects a stockier, more rugged 007. Roy Rochlin - Getty Images
Toby Maguire 5'8" (1.73 m) From one hit franchise to another: Spiderman. We should remember, though, that Parker is only a highschooler. Donato Sardella - Getty Images
Andrew Garfield 5'10" (1.79 m) Garfield is certainly the tallest Spiderman. Still, the height on Peter feels a bit off. Something about the character requires shorter spunk. Kevin Winter - Getty Images
Tom Holland 5'8" (1.73 m) Holland is also the youngest Spiderman, cast when he was still 19. And while he may look short next to his mentor Iron Man, Holland is only half an inch shy of RDJ. Adrian Edwards - Getty Images
Marlon Brando 5'9" (1.75 m) Even as an old, mostly-seated boss, Vito Corleone seems to tower over everyone. Not the case with Brando. Robert De Niro who plays younger Vito also stands under 6' (De Niro is 5'10".) Donaldson Collection - Getty Images
James Dean 5'7" (1.7 m) Even in 1950, Dean would have been considered shorter than average . Yet even today in 2019, he is considered far cooler than average. So ... you know. John Kobal Foundation - Getty Images

Johnny Depp 5' 10" (1.78 m) Standing next to a 6'5" Armie Hammer would make just about anyone look short. Still, you almost expect Depp to be shorter than 5'10". Must be all those slimy, slouching characters. Ferdaus Shamim - Getty Images
Jared Leto 5'9" (1.75 m) For some reason, Jared Leto just seems ... tall. Maybe it's the long hair and lanky body. Not that 5'9" is short (the author writes, nervously). Gotham - Getty Images
Steven Yeun 5'9" (1.75 m) Don't think Yeun is leading man material? You need to check out Burning. He's probably a better villain than Leto, honestly. Frederick M. Brown - Getty Images
