Hollywood has a special way of dealing with height
Hugh Jackman has shown great range on the screen and stage. But at 6-3, his stature required producers of the “X-Men” movie series to revamp the character of Wolverine. According to comic books, Wolverine stands 5-3. Jackman is almost a whole foot taller. Russell Crowe recently revealed that he was the first choice for Wolverine. Casting Crowe, who bowed out and recommended Jackman, also would have required tweaking Wolverine; he‘s 5-11½. (TribLive)
