- "Italian Job"
- "Renaissance Man"
The secret from Mark is simple: you want to become an action hero, but did not come out tall? Wear heels.

Vin Diesel
- "Fast and the Furious"
- "The Last Witch Hunter"
- "Boiler room"
Many Russian fans of the actor will be very surprised to learn that Vin Diesel sometimes wears high-heeled shoes. It would seem that the actor can hardly be called short, why should he be taller?

Tyrese Gibson
- "Deadly race"
- "Transformers"
- "Duel"
Vin Diesel's "Fast and Furious" colleague also embellishes his own height, even though he is 181 centimeters. If on the screen all the actors of the franchise are approximately on the same level, then noticeable differences are visible on the red carpet. So Tyrese Gibson, who has forgotten his heels at home, looks almost a head shorter than Diesel.
Tom Cruise
- "The Last Samurai"
- "Rain Man"
- "Interview with a Vampire"
Some foreign stars clearly have growth complexes. And Tom Cruise is one of the striking examples of this. The actor really wants to become taller and thanks to tricks, computer graphics and successful frame construction during filming on the screen, he manages to add himself a dozen or two centimeters. In life, everything is much more complicated, but heels are ready to help. Taking into account that Cruz likes spectacular women of average height, next to them you don't want to seem like a baby, and shoes with heels are a great solution. Especially often the actor used it when he went out with his ex-wife Katie Holmes, who, even without a platform, was noticeably taller than Cruise.
Michael J. Fox
- "Back to the Future"
- "Good fight"
- Boston Lawyers
With an increase of 163 centimeters, Michael was able to become a star of great magnitude, proving once again to the world that size in art is not the main thing. But he also had to use high-heeled shoes. Michael J. Fox famously said: “When you're a short actor, you have to stand on a box of apples to look taller. But when you are a short star, everyone else has to walk in ditches to reduce their height. "
Sylvester Stallone
- "Tango and Cash"
- Rocky
- "Judge Dredd"
Some celebrities have thrown on themselves several centimeters in height for many years, so it is difficult to believe that they are actually shorter. For example, Sylvester Stallone didn't want to be the smallest guy in cult action movies and started wearing sneakers with a hidden platform before it hit the mainstream. The clever footwear that Stallone orders for himself not only makes him taller, but also significantly increases the size of the actor's feet due to the design.
Dustin Hoffman
- Medici: Lords of Florence
- "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"
- "Kramer vs. Kramer"
Growth of 167 centimeters is considered almost miniature in Hollywood. However, Dustin Hoffman managed to make compactness his "highlight". He never felt complexes due to the fact that he is shorter than his fellow actors, and his characters were not supposed to look like giants on the screens. Dustin agrees to wear platform shoes only in two cases: if his character should be taller than his partner, or if his height is really, according to the scenario, should be above average. So, for the role of Captain Hook, it was simply necessary to wear high-heeled shoes, otherwise the image would not have turned out so bright.
Brad Pitt
- "Legends of Autumn"
- Ocean's Eleven
- "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
Brad Pitt cannot be categorized as small stars, either literally or figuratively. Still, the Hollywood actor wants to be faster, taller, stronger, and therefore loves shoes that visually raise him a few centimeters above those around him. Brad especially loves to flaunt on the red carpet in platform shoes or heels. Perhaps it seems to him that the taller a man, the more solid he is.
Kirk Douglas
- "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"
- "The Adventures of Odyssey"
- "Angry and Beautiful"
Continuing our list with photos of actors secretly wearing tall heels to appear taller, Michael Douglas's father Kirk Douglas. The real Hollywood legend has always claimed that his height is 175 centimeters, but in fact these figures were slightly overestimated. Heels saved him, thanks to which Kirk seemed tall against the background of other characters. Of course, in old age, the growth of Douglas Sr.was even smaller and it was then that it became clear that the actor was a little cunning on the set.
Daniel Craig
- "Get knives"
- "Casino Royale"
- "Cursed path"
James Bond is not even a role, but a certain status. Therefore, if you play one of the most popular characters of our time, you must look accordingly. Daniel Craig cannot boast of being tall, but must look solid and courageous. Considering that almost all James Bond women are distinguished by their model appearance and taller than average height, it becomes clear that to be on the same level with them, you need shoes with considerable heels (in the case of Craig).
John Wayne
- "Big Jake"
- "Real Courage"
- "The longest day"
The King of Westerns John Wayne was an imposing figure both literally and figuratively. Despite the fact that his height reached almost two meters, the Oscar-winning actor wanted to emphasize his dimensions and wore shoes with heels and platform.

Jeremy Piven
- "Mr. Selfridge"
- "Rock 'n Roller"
- "Black Hawk"
The height of one of the famous American actors Jeremy Piven is 1.78 m, but it seems to him that this is a catastrophically small "height". Therefore, an actor often appears in hidden heels. Also on the network you can find pictures in which Piven poses next to his tall colleagues, standing on tiptoes.
Kit Harington
- "Memories of the Future"
- "Seventh Son"
- The Death and Life of John F. Donovan
"Game of Thrones" made Keith Harington feel the brunt of acting. Not only did the actor have to wear a heavy suit and a two-kilogram sword day and night, he also had to walk in heels. His 173 centimeters were completely unsuitable for creating the image of Jon Snow, and therefore had to go for this trick. Some scenes were given to Keith with great difficulty, because it is very difficult to learn to walk and move in heels when you are a middle-aged man.
Robert Downey Jr. (Robert Downey Jr.)
- "Sherlock Holmes"
- "Shaggy Dad"
- "Natural Born Killers"
Robert Downey Jr. can also be included in the list of actors who walk in heels because of their small stature. Until the artist was overtaken by the glory of "Iron Man", he was quite satisfied with his 174 centimeters. But being a superhero, in addition to other Marvel characters, means keeping your brand and being at your best. Which is exactly what Robert demonstrates by flaunting in shoes with additional heels and sneakers with a hidden platform.
Russell Crowe
- "Good guys"
- "Les Miserables"
- "Robin the Hood"
Rounding out our list with photos of actors secretly wearing tall heels to appear taller is the stocky and short Russell Crowe.
