Bob Hoskins, standing at exactly 5ft 4 ¼ (163.2 cm), embodied a compact yet explosive presence that defined his iconic tough-guy roles in film.
His short stature amplified his gritty, street-smart image in masterpieces like Mona Lisa, earning him the Cannes Best Actor Award, BAFTA for Best Actor, and Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama. In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, his diminutive height contrasted brilliantly with cartoon chaos, while in The Long Good Friday and Hook, it fueled his formidable gangster personas.
- Height perfectly suited his 'cubic' build, making him unforgettable as the pint-sized powerhouse of British cinema.
