Leonardo DiCaprio’s height comfortably makes him taller than most other Hollywood leading men. However, he once revealed that his fans often perceive him as shorter than his real height.

In 2016, the ‘Inception’ actor was in conversation with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush when he said “I’m always shocked at how tall you are.”

“It’s weird. I do get that a lot. I’m not extraordinarily tall, but people…” DiCaprio then replied.

He added, “That’s the number one thing people say to me constantly — ‘Wow! You’re a lot taller than I thought you’d be. They have a perception, I guess, that most actors are gnomes or something.”
