That’s the cinematographer’s job. And they’re good at it. Most of Hollywood is pretty short, but how many times in a movie or preview have you ever seen anyone look taller than Tom Cruise? Appleboxes, short co-cast members and some up angle photography 5’4” can look like 7 feet, 6’1” is a gimme.
They always did a lot of work in Get Smart to make Don Adams (5’8”) look taller than Barbara Feldon (5’9”).
Or make the the 6 foot, 1 inch tall John Rhys Davies appear 4 feet tall in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy...:)

Stallone is a runt, too.
