20 Things You Somehow Missed In X-Men
16. Cyclops Wears Platform Shoes
One of Wolverine's defining physical characteristics is his short stature, which created a bit of an issue when Hugh Jackman was cast in the role, given his height of 6 feet, 2 inches.
As a result, he towered over Cyclops actor James Marsden, who sized up at "only" 5 feet 10, requiring the production to kit Marsden out with platform shoes for scenes he shared with Jackman.
Hilariously, these shoes are just barely visible near the end of the movie when the pair are scaling the wall of Liberty Island, his footwear resembling clown shoes just a little too much to be taken seriously.
Presumably Bryan Singer thought that low-light conditions would save the day, but to eagle-eyed viewers Marsden's clunky platform shoes were just about discernible.
