Martin Freeman – 5 feet 6.5 inches

When interviewing this British actor, height is not a subject that often comes up. However, Martin Freeman stands at about 5 feet and 6 1⁄2 inches, the Daily Mail said. However, blogs and social media are full of a quote in which he talks about how he is fine with his size, that being bigger is not always better. The quote has been transformed into a meme, but the actor says he did not land the lead role in The Hobbit for no reason. We couldn’t track down the whole quote, but it displays a shortened version of the YouTube clip. The actor explained, “There’s no denying. However, I’m in the (expletive) Hobbit.”

Dustin Hoffman – 5 feet 6 inches

In several classic movies, such as Hook, Rain Man, The Graduate, and Midnight Cowboy, the Academy Award winner has appeared. At 5 feet and 6 inches tall, he told the Guardian that he was surprised when director Mike Nicholas selected him to star in The Graduate. He explained, “Nichols chose to give the role usually reserved for a tall, handsome Protestant to this short, funny-looking Jewish guy.” How awesome is it that he is a humble guy as well?
