Michael J. Fox – 5 feet 4 inches
At his stature of 5 feet and 4 inches, Michael J. Fox is one of the shortest people in Hollywood. However, the Family Ties and Back to the Future star should be better known for his work on Parkinson’s Disease. It is a neurological disorder that causes balance issues, trembles, and stiffness. He was diagnosed with it since he was 29 years old. In 2000, he started a foundation that has spread awareness of it and raised nearly a billion dollars for research. When he spoke to People, the actor said that he is of the belief that researchers are finally finding ways to stop the way the disease progresses.

Charlie Chaplin – 5 feet 4 inches
Did you know that his short height was actually an advantage during the silent film period? Charlie Chaplin stood at 5 feet and 4 inches and was best known for playing a sweet man with a cane, a black mustache, and a bowler hat in The Tramp. According to his New York Times obituary, his height did wonders for the contrast, which is good for comedy. Aside from this interesting point, the newspaper reported that the funnyman said, “If I am being treated harshly, it is always a big man who is doing it; so that, by the contrast between the big and the little, I get the sympathy of the audience.”
