The age old saying claims opposites attract and that’s certainly the case in Hollywood, with a slew of short and tall A-listers gravitating towards each other.

Take Snooki and JWoww’s unbreakable bond. The Jersey Shore stars are seriously onto something because it can often feel like there’s a whole other world going on up there, so it’s always handy to have a towering bestie to give you an update or provide a cheeky piggy back so you can see the stage when you’re at gigs.

Similarly, having a pint-sized pal is most convenient. Need a mini hand to fetch that $2 coin underneath the oven? Or an undetectable figure to cut through the chaotic line at the pub and get drinks? Or best yet, just a sympathetic and understanding comrade to go shoe shopping with (the struggle is oh so real for tall and short folk alike, who often have tiny/large feet which shops don’t accommodate for).

But it’s not just besties who sit on opposite sides of the vertical spectrum so come and take a look at Hollywood’s most impressive height differences!

The Rock and Kevin Hart were this year’s MTV Movie Awards hosts. Despite their huge height gap, these two were seriously in sync throwing hilarious zingers all over the place!

Khloe Kardashian has found an eccentric new friend… Danny Devito! The pair joined forces for a round of charades on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show. While the pair couldn’t exactly keep up with the funny host it was clear the duo had a good time. The 31-year-old took to Instagram, penning, “Have you seen the movie Twins?!?! With Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito?! I’m Arnold…. Danny plays himself!” Check out the pair try to play charades in the next slide.

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian’s marriage might have been an epic fail but it didn’t stop Nick Lachey and Kelly Ripa (R) from sending up their height gap after they announced their split in 2011.
