He continued, “I love me. I just don’t believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like. This is it. This is what I’ve been given. This is my playing card.”
Over the years, Kevin has made many jokes about his height – usually on Twitter. In 2018, the star tweeted, “Breaking news people… I think I grew a little bit.

Like Kevin, Reese Witherspoon is 5’2”. The award-winning actress told Country Living, “When I first came here, all I heard was, ‘No, not right – not tall enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough. But I didn’t really care about their opinions. I’m stubborn.”
Joining Kevin and Reese in the 5’2” club are Zoë Kravitz, Anna Kendrick, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande, who describes herself as “fun-sized.”
