While there are many celebrities known for their towering height, there are a few who stand out for being on the shorter side. The shortest celebrity, based on available information, is currently Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the shortest man ever recorded at just 21.5 inches (54.6 centimeters) tall.
Dangi was born in Nepal in 1939 and was discovered by a forest contractor while working in the fields. His small stature was due to a condition called primordial dwarfism, which affects the growth of the body. Despite his size, Dangi was said to have a big personality and loved to sing and play the drums.
Here are some of Dangi’s body dimensions:
| Body Part | Measurement (in inches) | Measurement (in centimeters) |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 21.5 | 54.6 |
| Arm span | 22 | 56 |
| Head circumference | 15 | 38 |
| Weight | 12 lbs | 5.5 kg |
While Dangi may be the shortest celebrity ever recorded, there are many other famous individuals who are also known for their smaller stature. These include actors such as Peter Dinklage, who stands at 4’5″ (135 cm), and Danny DeVito, who is 4’10” (147 cm). Other notable short celebrities include Warwick Davis, Verne Troyer, and Linda Hunt.
Despite their height, these celebrities have made a big impact in their respective fields and have shown that size truly does not matter when it comes to talent and success.
