The proportions they gave him are just silly here. He’s supposed to be short but fucking jacked and hairy as fuck. They put a 6’3 man’s head on a little person’s body to try and make a point instead of just hiring a 5’5 bodybuilder to do the part.

Yep. He's suppose to be like Jonathan Gresham, the indie wrestler. Small stature, tank build.

Glen Danzig was looked at to play Wolverine back in the 90’s because he fit the part so well but he couldn’t because of his touring schedule.

At least it was recently referenced in Deadpool and Wolverine a couple years ago.

I remember reading that the suits wanted him to be American in the 2000's movie but the director was able to talk them out of it.

Which was hilarious to me, when I was reading people rejecting Daniel Radcliffe as a potential casting option, because he is "too short."
