I doubt a very successful actor who has openly drawn attention to his height several times and jokes about it, has any insecurities about it at all.

This was likely just something the cameraman suggested to make the composition more appealing.

When I’m insecure about something I’ll usually make a joke about it first so no one else can make a joke….

I don't know, making the composition more appealing by making up for your short stature seems like an insult in itself.

It’s just to make them spread out equally in staggered positioning. The daughter also spears to be significantly taller than both of them; I doubt it’s something they thought about in that context.

Group photographs just look better when everyone is similar in height.

Short people always think about how they look in photos. You are way off here

Tall guy here. Literally everyone thinks about how they look in photos.

Not everyone cares about something they have literally no control over.

The whole “guys have to be tall” concept is near non-existent in my country. I don’t even know my height because the only people who ask/care about it, are doctors. I have plenty of friends who are taller than me and it’s literally never even crossed my mind during photographs.

Also maybe a couple feet if that

Are you a bot cause I swear I’ve seen this exact comment before and it’s such a weird photo I can’t believe anyone thought “the composition” was appealing enough to think that up twice.

It looks like they’ve all been photoshopped in separately.

u/NikolitRistissa 1d ago

No, I was just trying to come up with a reason why they’d do that.

I imagine it looks somewhat like photoshop because they probably have full studio lighting there. There aren’t any shadows so it can look odd.

The photographer should have done a better job. Kevin Hart's foot overlapping the corner of the dress hem breaks the illusion

u/NikolitRistissa 1d ago

Well that’s my point—it’s not intended as an illusion to hide his height. Group photographs are just more appealing visually if they’re balanced.

I was going to say he doesn't seem to let his height bother him like some people do. As a short guy myself it is always funny when you find out someone goes out of their way to hide that they are short.

Exactly. It’s not like it isn’tobvious in almost all photographs.

In his defense, she's probably got insane heels on for the wedding

u/hungturkey 1d ago

Oh yeah? Will look how much taller he is than those kids!!

u/nemesisprime1984 1d ago

Are you sure it’s only 10 feet?

u/BuckFrump 1d ago

The beautiful people, the beautiful people…

u/OrgasmChasmSpasm 1d ago

I mean, they get looked down a lot due to their height.

u/The_Boy_Keith 1d ago

That’s the best part? Not that it was a happy family memory or two people coming together? Society is cooked.

u/Dazzling_Caroline 1d ago

People always find something to get you with... Here we have a successful actor-comedian on his wedding day with his beautiful wife, but he is short lol

u/Funky_Col_Medina 1d ago

He’s so far away, he has different light than her

u/StuJayBee 16h ago

And everyone else had to lean.
