Standing at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm), Stiller appeared noticeably shorter next to Travis Kelce, who is 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm), and Jason Kelce, who stands at 6 feet 3 inches (191 cm). The stark contrast in height was further exaggerated in a promotional photo the trio shared online, which immediately sparked a wave of reactions from fans.
While Stiller has been a fixture in Hollywood for decades, fans seemed genuinely surprised to see just how small he looked next to the towering football players.
The comment section was flooded with humorous reactions, with one fan writing: “Is that pic photoshopped? Hahahaha! Sorry Ben, but you look tiny.”
Another joked: “He looks like a real-life sized Kermit the Frog.”

Beyond the viral height debate, the New Heights episode featuring Stiller turned out to be an entertaining one. The discussion covered a range of topics, including his lifelong passion for the New York Knicks and the possibility of a Tropic Thunder sequel.
