Tough Guy Shoes And Socks

[Pop Bitch] For all their on-screen tough-guy bravado, Hollywood action heroes can be awfully delicate wee flowers.

Which one is so desperate to add a few sly centimeters to his height that he not only puts lifts in his shoes, he has special built-up socks, too?

    Vin Diesel … 6 feet tall, according to Google – which means he’s likely somewhere between 5’10” and 6′ IRL. In photos next to Paul Walker (6’1-ish) and Dwayne Johnson (6’3-ish), he’s shorter than both – even with clear lift-soled shoes on – and he also has tattoos.

    This has got to be Sly Stallone ! Seen him out and about when I worked in a very famous department store . He is Action Man Toy size !!!

    Tom Cruise. I stood next to him once. He is maybe 5’7″, which is fine. He has gorgeous hair!

      I thought so too except the similar blind was largely guessed as Tom Selleck so I think it’s pointing to Tom Cruise.

    i go with statham since you used the word ‘wee’. it’s a British term

    • iamastar1963 says

      Slyvester Stallone….I luv this Actor & his beautiful, talented family!

      Regardless of possible lifts in shoes, (maybe more for comfort)?

      Sly still married two Models much taller than he, so I doubt he has a “small-man complex”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Robert Downey Jnr (Iron Man). Officially his height is 5’9” but other sources suggest it is only 5’7″

  13. no_one_no9 says

    This is giving me Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson vibes. But it’s ok with me, he’s gorgeous with or without a little help in the height department.

    • TangiestIllicitness says

      He’s 6’5″ and has done several roles where he was barefoot or wearing basic flat shoes (Baywatch, Hercules, Tooth Fairy, The Scorpion King). I don’t think he’s worried about his height. lol

    • TeaDrinker says

      The Rock is 6’5″!!! I seriously doubt he needs help in the height department. You must be like 9 feet tall to think he’s short.

    Has to be Tom Cruise…tho the “sly” has me second guessing! Hmmmmm

  27. Teressa S says

    So many LILLIPUTIANS to chose from –
    There’s BURT REYNOLDS, ROBERT DOWNEY, VIN DIESEL, STALLONE, even TOM HARDY ….

    But I’m gong to go with the short psychopathic Scientologist shrimp named TOM CRUISE.

    • aaaJMary says

      Not a chance. Renner did Celebrity IOU and they all joked about his height on two separate occasions. There is no way people like Cruise or RDJ would tolerate that. Renner does not have an issue with his height, other than pretending he is 5’10” on his old resume, probably so he could get his foot in the door for auditions.

  36. VegasMike says

    Stallone (“add a few sly centimeters to his height “)

    Tom Cruise. Wesley Snipes. Probably quite a few others…

  38. llabine1 says

    Two come to mind :
    Tom Cruise or Sylvester Stallone….I’m leaning toward Cruise

  39. Theonewhoknows says

    Surely this can’t be about nobody but little Tommy Cruise.

    This seems like exactly the kind of thing he’d do.

  42. omgimbackagain says

    RDJ is really obvious about it and I think this is him.

    With Tommy Cruise, he sometimes looks like he’s wearing lifts but he also owns his height in a way that many actors don’t. Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone seem like they’re wearing lifts.

  43. janep151 says

    Tom Cruise probably has socks as well as shoe lifts.

    Others: Kit Harington (Jon Snow)

  45. JustKay says

    Vin Diesel. Well known for being 5′ 11″ but he constantly lies and says he is 6’1″ or 6’2″ his stats always flucuates. And almost any site out there shows an inconsistency.

  47. AmateurGossipHour says

    Actor: Sylvester Stallone

  58. Mrsdrduffy says

    Sylvester Stallone. Hes such a funny dude. He does all sorts of “girly” things.

  63. Fifi53 says

    Tom Cruise wears lifts in his shoes, but the wee thing is making me think he’s someone Scottish? Gérard Butler?

    Still gonna go with Tom Cruise, cos he seems an awfully wee person

  71. LadyHawke71 says

    Stallone.

    Optional; I’ll go for the obvious one of Tom Cruise….Bogart used to too….

  72. ILUVCA4evr says

    Actor: At first I thought Stallone…but the tats make me think of The Rock

    [Optional] Which other actors wear lifts? Oh, Tom Cruise most definitely. Doesn’t help him though.

  73. mommagoosed says

    Sly Stallone? 🤣 We already know about Tommy Boy’s lifts in his shoes. 😁
