Charlie Chaplin – 5’4 (162 cm)

One of the world’s most famous silent movie actors stood at a modest five feet and four inches. According to his obituary, in The New York Times, his small size helped with his comedy skills.

He had spoken publicly about his height, saying: “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.” Despite his size, he is considered one of the world’s biggest stars.
