How to: Own the red carpet if you're Short & Stocky

This one-man dynamo, Jack Black, doesn’t need height to be noticed.

Jack’s big on everything, big personality, big smile, big voice, big fun and big individual style.

At 167cm (5’6”) Jack can light up any space with his huge ball of energy.

The American comedian, actor and musician love’s lycra but carries off a suit very nicely too.
Quite the little tubby and proud of it, Jack has been known to show his belly to the world on the red carpet.

Recently finding his “inner panda”, Black displayed his animated Zen alongside co-star Angelina Jolie in "Kung Fu Panda 2". Jack traded belly dancing for kung fu poses at the resent premier.
