“I actually have a James Bond reunion Zoom now,” Famke said, to which Halle responded, “Oh God me too,” before they both signed off.

The 40-year-old Glass and X-Men actor, who is 5’7″, says the he even had a leading lady say that their on-screen relationship would not be believable because of the height difference.

“As a shorter man, I sometimes get told I’m too short for a role,” James told The Telegraph. “Or even when I get a role, I’m made to feel like, well, of course, we’re going to have to do something about that.”

James said that a female co-star once questioned if he was right for the film “because nobody would believe [he] would be with someone like her.” He added, “That was a kick in the nuts.”

“I was like, ‘All right, now I’ve got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because you’re so far up yourself.’ It got really interesting, that relationship,” James said. “Sometimes you’re made to feel like you’re not good-looking enough to get a role.”
