20 of Hollywood’s most beloved short kings


While beauty standards have always been more focused on women, that’s not to say men don’t also deal with physical pressures, especially when it comes to their height. Some guys are incredibly self-conscious about their small statures and vertical limitations, but they shouldn’t be. Not every potential partner they have is looking for someone well over six feet. So those on the shorter side shouldn’t shy away from their size, for they are considered short kings among men and are in good company as they fall in line with the following short kings of Hollywood.
