https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2485534/james-mcavoy-says-hes-lost-roles-for-being-too-short
In an interview with the Telegraph, the actor delved into the trajectory of his career, and some of the struggles hes faced. And James McAvoy revealed that his 5 7 height has caused him a few problems both on and off set over the years: As a shorter man, I sometimes get told Im too short for a role. Or even when I get a role, Im made to feel like, well, of course, were going to have to do something about that because nobody would believe [the character] would be with someone like her. That was a kick in the nuts. While he didnt reveal what co-star he was referring to, James McAvoy said that an actress once implied that she thought he was too short to be cast opposite her. It understandably made their time on set challenging: I was like, All right, now Ive got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because youre so far up yourself. It got really interesting, that relationship. Sometimes youre made to feel like youre not good-looking enough to get a role. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I want to say that Robert Downey Jr. would not have gotten the role of Iron Man today, but I'm pretty sure Tom Holland is the same height.

Which is why Tom Cruise could never get a girl in real life. As soon as the cameras stopped rolling, the women invariably laughed at his short stature and he went home to masturbate and eat Cheetos.
Yeah, no. You can't pull selective camera angles and height-adding shoes on that one. He was swimming in it back in the day. --- It's Christmas at ground zero. Now the missiles are on their way. What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked on this jolly holiday! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think it's J Law. He said he was opposite the actress. That wasn't really the case with the First Class timeline movies. He's been opposite Kiera Knightly, Rosario Dawson and Angelina Jolie, all the same height as him. I could see it being one of them.

I'm wondering as well. I don't think it's J Law. He said he was opposite the actress. That wasn't really the case with the First Class timeline movies. I hope it wasn't Kiera Knightly. It'd be hilarious if it was Charlize. "As a mother of black children, it was painful to play someone who said Santa is just white." "Excuse me, little man. Are you lost? This is the grownups table." Then again, I'd hate to think that she is so shallow. I'm gonna go with Rosario Dawson since I have no attachment to her in the slightest. Of the names listed, she's the best one of the group to be the culprit. --- It's Christmas at ground zero. Now the missiles are on their way.
