History has given us many names for short men who have done great deeds and have left great imprints. Napoleon Bonaparte, Pablo Picasso, Lenin and many more who were barely 5 feet 5 inches, but have left their names in the story of our world with their great deeds. At present, Bollywood and Hollywood are the two great names in the entertainment industry. It is said that people with good looks and attitude have the most possibility to come to the front and capture both heart and mind of the audiences. But, today, talented heroes have proved that it is not the tall, dark and handsome only who can rule the Bollywood and Hollywood but in fact, there are some of the shortest actors who are most successful. From the actors who have made it large in the acting field despite of their short stature, we can understand that we can’t determine a person’s success by how tall he is.
It is not necessary that dark and handsome should be preceded by ‘tall’. Most of the successful Bollywood and Hollywood actors who have achieved great success are short in height. The saying, ‘Best things come in small packages’ is well understood with these celebrities who have made it large in the entertainment industry. Most of the actors like Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Tom Cruise, Daniel Radcliffe, and the likes are some of the shortest actors in the industry who are proud of their height and don’t shy away at not being a few inches taller and refuse to resort to camera tricks while romancing a taller actress on screen. Here is the list of short male actors in Bollywood and Hollywood.
