10 Celebrities to Wear Flats for: Featuring Taylor Lautner, Johnny Depp, Kevin Bacon, Jon Bon Jovi and More
by A list of 10 good-looking men who are not tall. This is a different type of follow-up to my to Tall Girls Dating and Tall Actors articles.
on Taylor Lautner
6. Kiefer Sutherland 5′ 9″ (1.75 m)
Alright. Back to the men. I’ve been a Sutherland fan long before 24 came along. There aren’t many actors who are just as popular with their villain characters as their good guy roles. He pulls both ends really convincingly. And he has been a psycho, a hit man, a serial-killer, a vampire, a very decent and loving boyfriend, problematic son in love with father’s woman, government agent, a hippie from the 60s, a student doctor going too far with experiments, an actual cowboy and more. He has been there, done that and done all of that wonderfully. He is one of the most gifted and charismatic actors around.

7. Kevin bacon 5′ 10½” (1.79 m)

Kevin Bacon’s career path is similar to Sutherland’s as he made a name for himself playing villains. He has also co-starred with Sutherland in the thriller Flatliners where he was also one of the student doctors. Kevin did great major roles and minor roles. He has made so many movies with so many actors that his name is synomous with the 6 degrees of sepraration theory.
Whatever role he played, he made an impression. Remember how disturbing he was in The Sleepers? The Hollow Man? How wrongfully he was treated in Murder in the First? And what a cute romcom lead he made in He says, she says? Kevin Bacon is diverse and good-looking. But my favorite Bacon is Death Sentence. He gets to be a loving father, husband and a avenge-seeking, blood-thirsty parent all at once…Oh, yes, before there was Law Abiding Citizen, there was Death Sentence.

Andrew McCarthy
Yes, I grew up in the 90s and always liked Andrew. He was cute, a good actor (he also co-stars with Robert Downey in Less Than Zero). But I loved him even more when he grew up and played one of the male leads in Lipstick Jungle. Handsome, charismatic, romantic and rich. That’s some combination you get to see mostly-if not only- in movies. And may I say, he just looked the part?

9. James Marsters 5′ 9½” (1.77 m)

Oh, here comes one of my favorite vampires. James came to Buffy The Vampire Slayer and became one of the most popular vampires as Spike in TV history. First we loved to hate him and then we loved to love him. He wears leather, listens to rock and is a total bad-ass, unless he falls in love. Bad boy turned good, he entertained the shows fans and well, represented a fantasy of women’s. Who doesn’t want a guy that looks like a bad boy and acts like a good one? Oh well, he gets bad when you want/need him to be. He can fight and he does look like Billy Idol as Spike. And he is a rocker in real life. He has a band, a great voice and he knows how to play the guitar. No more comments.

10. Andy Garcia 5′ 10″ (1.78 m)

Oh, and the list wouldn’t have been complete without the actor that redefined masculine men. Because with one role, he just was the sum of all women’s fantasies: In when a man loves a woman, he was a pilot, a great husband, a wonderful dad (even to his step daughter), a romantic, sensitive and emotional guy who did everything possible to deal with his wife’s alcoholism. Then there is also the scene he romantically seduces Gabrielle Anwar in Things to do in Denver When You are Dead. He is a marvelous actor. You think he can’t get under your skin as he grew older? Watch City Island. He will give you stomach pains from laughing and will make you adore him when he cries. Crying never looked more masculine.
I just realized I missed James Spader. And Antonio Banderas. And…Oh well, I ‘ll follow up then.

I love to read your articles. A piece like that was proper for me because I believe that sensuality is best expressed in a not exaggerated height. Tall men are undoubtedly showy but the harmony of movement more often resides in contained height. I say this even though it goes against my interests. Well done.

wow, nicely done..again, very interesting post.
If they are Asian, we will say they are quite tall, for 1.79m.
They cannot grow taller vertically already, but can grow “taller” horizontally anytime, haha.

@ Thanks, Sophie. And for me, it doesn’t get any more sensual when Andy Garcia gets romantic or if Jon Bon Jovi does…well… anything;) This article has a sequel in the works, so please let me know if I missed anyone you like.
@ Starpisces: Ha ha. Well, being on Asia, Turkish men are also considered tall enough at 1.79. But I am 1.75 so…;) And yep, they grow horizantally….unfortunately;)

Well…Jonathan Rhys Meyers of course has to be included (the most…all…of all)!!! And then Ryan Phillippe (I simply adore his slightly cross-eyed look and his adorable sulky mouth), Mark Wahlberg (the most beautiful proportions), Matt Damon (the brighter smile of all) and our beloved Simon Baker..

@Mace: Thanks:)
@Sophie: They are coming. Thanks for reminding me about Damon. I am not a big Mark fan but I’ll add him for you;). Simon will be there of course.
But I refuse to wear flats for a cheater! He cheated on Reese, lol:)))
