Top 50 Shortest Celebrities Of All Time

 

We all know that being short comes with its own set of pros and cons and that height has ceased to be a prerequisite for people who wish to make it big in the entertainment industry.

 

In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to claim that some of the biggest names in the biz today are of short stature.
