We're diving deep into one of Hollywood's biggest open secrets: The inflated heights of your favorite action and superhero movie stars!

We fact-check the claimed heights you see on IMDb against the verifiable truth for six of the biggest names, including Marvel's Robert Downey Jr., action titans Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and the king of movie stunts, Tom Cruise.

You'll be shocked to learn just how many inches are added using camera angles, specialized footwear (the famous "Iron Man boots"), and even simple wooden boxes. It proves that in Hollywood, charisma is cast first, and height is simply manufactured later!

Vin Diesel (6'1" claimed vs. 5'11" reality)
Dwayne Johnson (6'5" claimed vs. 6'3" reality)
Tom Cruise (5'10"$ claimed vs. 5'7" reality)
Robert Downey Jr. (5'9" claimed vs. 5'7" reality)
