Looks can be deceiving on the big screen and many Hollywood stars are shorter than they may appear. Anna Kendrick is no exception. Despite her larger-than-life personality, the small but mighty actress stands at a petite 5'2" (via Livingly). “I was angsty about my height when I was younger,” Kendrick revealed in an interview with Esquire. “But I love it now. Why wouldn’t you want to be a little compact being?” The Oscar nominee went on to share some of the advantages to her size, including saving money from flying coach and keeping a low profile when she wants to stay under the radar.

Kendrick has no problem making fun of her short height. In an Instagram post from 2021, the actress joked about a sudden growth spurt that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m pleased to announce that during quarantine I grew ten inches and am now officially A TallTM. (It’s not the camera angle or the shoes. I will not be taking questions.) Sincerely, A Tall.” The caption is next to a picture of Kendrick wearing extra high heels. Get it? Most importantly, Kendrick embraces her height as both a unique and defining factor of who she is. “I’m fine being small. I’m fine being all the things I am,” the talented singer and actress shared with Glamour. You go, girl!
