Ah, the illusion of the big screen. An alert BHP reader sent on this little item which was published by Cinema.com in December 2000 about Russell Crowe's height:
Heart-throb actor RUSSELL CROWE wears special shoes which make him look taller - and help him to keep his action hero image.
The GLADIATOR star was reported to have taken off his unique footwear at a hollywood bash hosted by producer JERRY BRUCKHEIMER - and swiftly shrunk in size.
Onlookers revealed the host elbowed Crowe and muttered, "Put your shoes on, you're blowing your image."
IMDB.com height: 5' 11"!
BHP estimate: 5'8"
Noggin size: Rockmelon, mate!
