With the enduring idea that Napoleon Bonaparte was a powerful man with short stature, does Joaquin Phoenix’s height fit the bill for the character?
With Joaquin Phoenix starring in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, does the actor measure up to the actual Napoleon Bonaparte’s height? When it comes to biographical films or historical dramas, productions must walk a fine line between accuracy, drama, and pacing. This balance can be especially difficult to strike when the historical event or person in question has been so mythologized that what’s thought of as a commonly known fact may not be true at all.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular emperor, Ridley Scott's Napoleon also features a cast of characters that focuses on the general and emperor’s rise to power in the late 1700s and early 1800s and his relationship with Empress Joséphine Bonaparte .
If the general was of average height, though, where does the idea of his short stature come from that Napoleon will need to refute? The idea originates with British political cartoonist James Gillray, who lived and worked from 1756 to 1815. His caricatures of Napoleon were hugely influential throughout the general’s life.
