LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: British actor Daniel Radcliffe became famous for his titular young wizard role in the 'Harry Potter' film series. Standing at 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m/165 cm), according to USA Today, Radcliffe once confessed that he was worried his co-stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson would outgrow him on screen.
They eventually did, but Radcliffe says that he is now more comfortable with his height. Watson is also said to be of the same height, so she would benefit from wearing heels on red carpets.
Radcliffe occasionally appears to stand taller due to his preference for shoes that increase height. A fan of elevator shoes, Radcliffe doesn't mind wearing a pair when he needs to stand next to his taller co-stars or when accepting awards.
One of the most recognizable figures in the entertainment industry today, Radcliffe has proven to be one of his generation's most bankable celebrities.
Radcliffe is known for his distinctive style and daring sense of fashion. He is often regarded as one of Hollywood's best-dressed actors.
Besides being a successful actor, Radcliffe is known for his philanthropic nature with his support for charities like the Demelza Hospice Care for Children.
Daniel Radcliffe's height compared to 'Harry Potter' costars
The actors who later became the faces of the 'Harry Potter' series were all rather young on their first red carpet. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson all joined the ensemble before they even reached adolescence.
They had all grown by the time 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' debuted in 2011, perhaps some more than others. It appeared Grint and Watson had outgrown Radcliffe in photos obtained by E! News at the time.
Daniel Radcliffe is of the same height as Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise
Despite playing many major roles, Radcliffe admitted in a 2014 interview with Vox that he frequently gets the comment that he's "not a typical male lead."
Being only 5 ft 5 in tall, Radcliffe believes this discrimination is because he is shorter than most male movie stars. Instead of feeling self-conscious about his height, Radcliffe has eventually chosen to make light of it.
However, he does not believe that his height has prevented him from landing movie roles.
The 'Harry Potter' star also cites fellow short actors Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise as evidence that an actor does not need to be a tall and traditional alpha male to have a successful career.
When asked by Playboy if his height keeps him from getting certain roles, Radcliffe responded: "I don't think so."
He noted that Cruise and he are of similar heights. "I could play a soldier. The minimum height for a marine is five feet, and I'm well above that. If you're asking, 'Can you play a really (expletive) tall person?' No, obviously not," added Radcliffe.
Is Erin Darke taller than Daniel Radcliffe?
Radcliffe made a rare public appearance with his girlfriend Erin Darke at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his new movie 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story'.
Radcliffe and Darke earlier made their red carpet debut at the 2014 Tony Awards. Their height disparity also attracted media attention. The 'Lost City' actor, who is 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m/165 cm) tall, is a little shorter than his partner Darke, who is 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m/170 cm).
Radcliffe and Darke initially got to know each other on the set of 'Kill Your Darlings' in 2013. In the film, the former portrayed a young Allen Ginsberg, and Darke's character appeared to have a brief romance with Ginsberg.
Fans admire Daniel Radcliffe's diminutive height
Radcliffe's fans also don't appear to mind that he is not as tall as other male Hollywood actors. Following his intervention on behalf of the Trevor Project in 2020 in response to JK Rowling's allegedly transphobic statements, one supporter tweeted, "WE STAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE OUR SHORT KING."
Some others go so far as to say that Daniel Radcliffe's height makes him particularly qualified for some roles. Many are asking for the former wizard to land the role as Marvel is in the process of casting for their upcoming Wolverine movie.
