Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zac Efron plays larger-than-life professional wrestler Kevin Von Erich of the famous Von Erich brothers in The Iron Claw, but there's a bit of a height difference between the actor and the wrestler in real life. Written and directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw tells the true story of Kevin Von Erich and his family, who rose to fame in the '80s and dominated the competitive world of professional wrestling.
Zac Efron Is 6 Inches Shorter Than The Real Kevin Von Erich The Wrestler Is Quite A Bit Taller Than The Actor Who Portrays Him While Efron managed to get jacked like Kevin Von Erich for The Iron Claw, the actor didn't quite reach the same heights as the wrestler—literally. Zac Efron is only 5'8" tall, or 1.73 m, while Kevin Von Erich stands a whole 6 inches taller at 6'2" tall, or 1.88 m. Though some sources have Kevin's height listed as 1.
Related The Iron Claw: Is The Real Kevin Von Erich Still Involved In Wrestling? Kevin Von Erich's pro wrestling career extends far outside of his time in the ring, leading to his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009. Harris Dickinson plays the tallest Von Erich brother, David, who was a whopping 6'8" tall, or 2.08 m. This worked out, though, since Dickinson is somewhere between 1.83 m and 1.86 m tall, making him over 6' tall. Casting actors who were all shorter than the real Von Erichs they portrayed in The Iron Claw ensured that Efron's and Kevin's height discrepancy wasn't a problem onscreen.
