As the star of the Netflix’s new hit drama Adolescence, Stephen Graham has had a spotlight shone on seemingly every part of his life since the four-part series blew up – including his battle with dyslexia and the racist abuse he suffered as a child because of his mixed race heritage.
Yet there’s one aspect that has gone under the radar… his height.
Serial Bafta nominee Graham, who stands at 5ft 6in, according to indsutry sources, broke into the film industry in 2000, playing Tommy in Guy Ritchie’s Snatch.
Six years later he had another breakout rule as racist skinhead Combo in This is England.
Since then, Liverpudlian Graham has gone on to rub shoulders with A-listers such as Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in The Irishman, as well as Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders.
Although his shorter stature has never held him back, social media users have made quips about his height.
One said: ‘British actors in Hollywood are lucky Stephen Graham isn’t 6 inches taller to be a traditional leading man. Best actor in the country by a mile.’
Another joked: ‘It’s mental that Stephen Graham is so good at acting to the point where I can actually take a 5ft man seriously.’
Adolescence, written by Graham and Jack Thorne, was only released on Netflix last week, but has already made waves and earned huge praise for its storyline and videography.
Stephen takes on the role of Eddie Miller, the dad of a young boy called Jamie (Owen Cooper), who is suspected of stabbing one of his classmates Katie (Emilia Holliday).
As ‘s visualisation reveals, Graham is the same height as Hollywood icons Margot Robbie and Jack Black.
The graphic, which you can scroll through, charts the height of every famous figure you could ever think of, dead or alive, all the way from 3ft 6in Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis to 7ft 4in André the Giant.
It comes after Gary Barlow’s son Daniel last year set the internet ablaze with his ‘giant’ stature.
The 24-year-old went unexpectedly viral after social media users seized on a sweet family photo of him towering over his 5ft 7in Take That star father.
Gary, 53, barely reached his son’s shoulder in the wholesome snap, originally posted to mark Father’s Day in June 2023.
Memes flooded the internet with jokes about Daniel’s frame, comparing the picture to a scene in the Christmas movie Elf, where human-sized Buddy struggles to fit in at the North Pole because everything is too tiny for him.
Another captioned ‘Gary Barlow’s son looking at all these memes about him on Twitter’ above a picture of a tiny model of a phone. It was held in a hand which looks huge in comparison.
