Some celebrities are much shorter in real life compared to what their larger-than-life personalities make them seem on-screen.<\/p>\n

While camera angles and wardrobe choices can give a misleading impression, several stars\u00a0\u2014\u00a0including Danny DeVito<\/a> and Nicole \u201cSnooki\u201d Polizzi<\/a> \u2014\u00a0have gotten candid about being less than 5 feet tall.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Parade<\/a> in May 2014, Wicked star Kristin Chenoweth<\/a> discussed the pros and cons of being 4\u201911\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m famous for the lack of height that I have. I\u2019m 4\u201911\u201d,\u201d she said. \u201cThe advantages are that I can weave in and out of a crowd and no one knows I\u2019m there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress continued, \u201cThe disadvantages are that I can weave in and out of a crowd and be knocked over, I can get sucker punched by somebody\u2019s elbow on the streets of New York and they don\u2019t even know it, I can get sliced by an umbrella.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are eight celebrities who are all under 5 feet tall.<\/p>\n

Simone Biles<\/a> has opened up about her petite frame, and consequently, the difficulties of finding pants that fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore y\u2019all complain that nothing fits y\u2019all, I want y\u2019all to see my struggle<\/a>,\u201d the 4\u20198\u201d Olympic gold medalist captioned an August 2024 photo on her Instagram Stories of high-rise straight-leg Abercrombie & Fitch pants that were sized at a 23\/000.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo hard to find bottoms that fit. But when I find them … my heart,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In a January 2018 interview with Today<\/a>, Biles revealed how often she\u2019s asked about her size.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question I wish people would stop asking me is \u2018How tall are you<\/a>? Are you going to grow?\u2019 I\u2019m not going anywhere. I\u2019m 4\u20198\u201d, I\u2019m stuck,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a March 2017 interview with CBS Sunday Morning<\/a>, DeVito revealed his childhood insecurities surrounding his height and how he overcame them.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, early days [in terms of] being short, being five feet tall, you go to a dance and … in the very beginning, you\u2019re only fast dancing,\u201d the actor said. \u201cYou go out, and you dazzle them with your footwork.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cAfter a while, you start getting used to it and in social circles, you start thinking, \u2018Well, you may be able to compensate with your personality<\/a>.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

While discussing the pros and cons of being 4\u201911\u201d in her conversation with Parade, the Tony<\/a>-winner explained why there is \u201calways … a silver lining\u201d to her height.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am never going to be taller than any date, that\u2019s a plus,\u201d she said. \u201cI struggle where I buy my clothes, Gap Kids, but then they\u2019re cheaper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to WIRED<\/a> in August 2019, Pinkett Smith said that although she may be petite in size, she exudes a strong energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I have on heels, I\u2019m probably 5\u20192\u201d, maybe, depending on the height of the heel,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut with no heels, I\u2019m probably like 5\u2019, maybe 4\u201911\u201d. Yeah, I\u2019m a shorty. Shorty with a big spirit, though! I walk tall!\u201d<\/p>\n

Best known for her role as Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory, Melissa Rauch<\/a> has admitted that she \u201cnever quite hit five feet.\u201d (According to NBC<\/a>, she is 4\u201911\u201d.)<\/p>\n

During an appearance on CBS\u2019 The Talk<\/a> in February 2023, Rauch comedically discussed her height.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually have to thank you all. I really appreciate it. They put some extra pillows here so my feet reach the floor, so I wasn\u2019t dangling. It\u2019s so nice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

During the same interview, Rauch also revealed that her kids were \u201cstarting to catch onto the fact\u201d that she\u2019s short.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re sort of putting the pieces together. And the honeymoon period of me being the mother, towering over them is shrinking,\u201d the actress continued. \u201cBecause I notice, when we\u2019re watching TV and cuddling, they\u2019re laying on me. Their legs are starting to pass my knees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polizzi told Interview Magazine<\/a> in November 2024 that she believes the reason she\u2019s recognized so often in public is because of her height.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnywhere I go, people recognize me and take pictures,\u201d Polizzi said. \u201cI\u2019ll go to Target and I\u2019ll take a couple of pictures with people. I think it\u2019s because of my height that people are like, \u2018I think that\u2019s Snooki.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

However, Polizzi told the outlet that even though she sometimes tells people she is 4\u201910\u201d, there\u2019s a chance she is 4\u20198\u201d.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very small \u2014 I\u2019m less than five feet tall, and I\u2019m 48 kilos \u2014 so I can still sit in this little chair, and I do!\u201d<\/p>\n
