Jake Lloyd Height

SAK says on 24/Dec/11
I didn't realise he was known as the 'kid who ruined star wars'. And hes short. Not the best luck.

the real truth says on 23/Dec/11
I was I think only 5ft1 at 12, then now about 5ft10 at 19, doctor says I could grow to 5ft11 at 20 and thats about it.

I always thought this guy was quite small, but this is just EXTREME lol. They should have got a tall, muscular boy to play Anakin, instead of this guy who is tiny.

I am 13 now and 5 ft 7.25 inches, I hope to be tall.

@Aaron I'm not surprised that you're 6'5 now. 5'4 is very tall for a 12-year old! I was 5 foot tall at that age and ended up being 6'1. I'm 24 now :P

Wow, I was a full 5ft3 at age 12, yet as an adult, I only hit the 5ft9 mark first thing out of bed!!!!!!!!!!!

@David
It ain't the case with Jake. Jake Lloyd was 9 years when filming as a 9 year old character in the Phantom Menace. They should've picked a tallish kid to grow up to be freaking Darth Vader!

David says on 21/Aug/11
Due to strict labor laws and a preference for maximum acting experience, casting directors often seek child actors of below-average height (which enables them to convincingly portray characters younger than their actual ages). It isn't surprising that many grow up to be adults of below-average height.

Rob how come child actors always end up short is there any child actors that ended up below average height average height and tall.

[Editor Rob: of course certain child actors are short because they might have been picked for roles because they were older (and shorter) and could play a 7 year old when they're 9 etc.

Christian Bale is 6'.

And Nicholas Hoult, that little kid from "About a Boy", grew up to be the 6'3 guy from the original UK season 1 Skins, Clash of the Titans and X-Men First Class.

It is strange how child actors are almost never big when they grow older. I've always noticed this.

And MsKitty, I'm certain Jaden is a late bloomer; I'm 6'5", almost 18, and still growing, but I was 5'4" when I was 12 and built very small, but now I'm 'uge. It's not easy to stunt a growth spurt either; I had eating issues. Looking at Jaden's head alone, he's got tons of growth ahead of him. His skull is the size of a fist. I was the same way; tiny head, tiny bones before my big growth spurts. My guess is he'll be daddy's size by the time he's 20.

have you noticed that when child actors grow up, they're not very tall people? Jake Lloyd, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Macaulay Culkin. Are there any child actors who grew up to be tall people?

lol amusing comment consider that zachary ty bryan and noah taran smith are close to 6 feeet tall

It's Taran Noah Smith. And he's actually well over 6' tall. He grew considerably since Home Improvement ended.

And since we're talking about short former-child actors, I may as well throw Frankie Muniz on the table...

MsKitty says on 2/Mar/11
Chances are Jaden Snith will be average, but right now for a kid his age he is very tiny. My father was 6'1 in his prime and my mother would like to think she was 5'1 but I'd say its a stretch...either way, I have 1 brother who is 6'2, 2 brothers 5'10, 1 sister who is 5'7+ and myself, I am 5'5.25 since I was 15. So who really knows?? Lol

@Observant .
but the chance for a child actor to grow not very tall is rather big. Of course: there's no rule without exception. Speaking of child actors: I'm curious how tall Jaden Smith is going to be. Tiny mother, tall father

Jaden will probably be about average.

Depor says on 27/Feb/11
@ Observant - OK, you found some exceptions but a large number of them end up being not very tall.

@ Moke - I'm guessing he'll be pretty tall.
