[Height Comparison]
I'm...6-foot 7...Funny thing, Wolverine is supposed to be short. And Hugh is actually pretty tall. I’ve never had to wear lifts in my life other than to make me tall enough to match his Wolverine!
As a tall person, sometimes as soon as you walk into a casting office, they’ll look up at you and go, “How tall are you?” Then you know you’re not getting the role. That’s the kiss of death right there. Being the height I am has been a positive thing and a negative thing. It’s just about doing the best with what we have, and I’ve just been improving my acting abilities so that I can step into more mainstream roles.
