Gather round, folks, for a celeb-centric exposé that’s about to lower the bar – literally. It’s time to expose the underwhelming vertical credentials of the Hollywood elite. Let’s roll out the (short) red carpet for the stars who might struggle to reach the top shelf.
1. Tom Cruise
The Top Gun himself, Tom Cruise, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars (just not in stature), reportedly stands at a less than towering 5’7.” But what he lacks in height, he certainly makes up for with on-screen charisma and action-packed performances.
