Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow stands at 5’9″, making her slightly taller than her Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Jr. Indeed, whenever the pair appeared on red carpets together and Paltrow wore heels, observant fans assumed Downey Jr. was also donning elevator-style boots to seem closer to Paltrow. We’re certain that Hollywood magic was also at work in the films, ensuring Pepper Potts didn’t tower over Tony Stark.
