These examples focus on \\\"ways to make actors appear taller\\\", which is not really what this trope is about. Also, since porn is banned from the wiki, I don\\\'t think the Real Life section should discuss the making of porn movies either.
* An actress being short is usually less of a problem than an actor being short (as mentioned above), since we generally expect women to be shorter than men. However, if an actress is \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' short, (and especially if not only her male co-stars but also the female ones are considerably taller), her character often ends up wearing ridiculously high-heeled shoes in every scene to make the height difference look less dramatic.
** Holland Roden\\\'s (5\\\'3\\\") character on \\\'\\\'Series/TeenWolf\\\'\\\', Lydia, almost always wears extremely high heels, making her look almost as tall as her best friend Allison (played by Crystal Reed, who is 5\\\'8\\\").
** On \\\'\\\'Series/{{Elementary}}\\\'\\\', Watson (played by Creator/LucyLiu, who is also 5\\\'3\\\"), keeps wearing extremely high-heeled shoes even when it would make more sense for her to be wearing more comfortable shoes or even no shoes at all.
* It\\\'s common for porn stars, especially male ones, to be shorter than they appear on film/video or are advertised as being. This is because the same attribute (or attributes) will appear proportionately larger on a smaller person without an obvious frame of reference. Also, pairing a man, however tall, with a woman shorter than him will make him seem... \\\'\\\'[[LastSecondWordSwap taller]]\\\'\\\' in comparison to her.
I don\\\'t think the Real Life section should bother with inversions.
* Inverted with Creator/RyanStiles. He just seemed shorter than he really is because most of the other actors he worked with were also relatively tall.
This is ActuallyThatsMyAssistant.
* The queen of a defeated Persian king once addressed AlexanderTheGreat\\\'s friend Hephaestion as Alexander because he was both taller and more handsome. When the mistake was pointed out to her, she tried to apologize, but Alexander said, \\\"Worry not, Mother – he too is Alexander.\\\"
Maybe I am missing something here and this guy is really famous, but this sounds like a mere subjective impression (as in, \\\"he is shorter than I thought\\\"):
* \\\'\\\'Series/IronChef\\\'\\\' Masaharu Morimoto is about 5\\\'3\\\". You\\\'d never know it from watching the show, since they shoot the intro [[HitlerCam from a low angle]].
