Here are 10 surprisingly short celebrities.

They may seem larger than life on screens throughout the world, but in real life a lot of famous people are actually quite diminutive in stature.

Here are 10 surprisingly short celebrities.

Number 10. Kim Kardashian. When she’s caught on camera strolling alone you’d never guess that she stands only 5 feet 3 inches tall. When she’s standing next to her half-sibling Kendall Jenner, however, it becomes a bit more obvious.

Number 9. Lena Dunham. The actress, writer, director, and Vogue cover model receives a lot of attention for her appearance. What people don’t mention very often is that the talented powerhouse measures a petite 5 foot 3.

Number 8. Lady Gaga. When not wearing towering heels and skyscraping hairdos, Mother Monster stands at a modest 5-foot-one.

Number 7. Bruno Mars. Who says said a thin, 5-foot-5 man can’t dominate the Super Bowl? Just this past February the singer put that thought to rest, taking control of the field with his stellar halftime show.

Number 6. Billy Joel. Physically, the highly regarded singer-songwriter measures just below the 5-and-a-half feet mark. Influentially, he’s long been one of the biggest men in the music industry.

Number 5. Lucy Liu. The actress is 5 feet and 3 inches of pure force, both onscreen and off. When she’s not giving movie criminals what they’ve got coming, she spends a chunk of her free time studying martial arts.

Number 4. Dustin Hoffman. A 5-foot-5 guy doesn’t have a prayer of becoming an NBA center, but thankfully Hollywood has a whole different set of job requirements. Hoffman is regarded as one the greatest actors of all time.

Number 3. Christina Aguilera. It’s hard to believe that all that voice comes out of a 5-foot 2-inch human, but it does. Apparently height and vocal range have nothing to do with one another.

Number 2. Reese Witherspoon. The 5 foot 1 actress proves that you don’t have to be tall to have a commanding screen presence. She’s given a spark to some of film’s most beloved characters.

Number 1. Kristen Bell. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Not only did 5-foot-1 Bell change lives as Veronica Mars, in real life she helped bring two babies into the world when she volunteered in Brazil.

Which celebrity’s height do you find the most surprising?
