Gunn was cancelled for making jokes about rape, child abuse, pedo, and 9/11 - between 2008-2012.
He was rehired because no one is risking a billion dollar franchise - and the stars of Guardians all supported him.

Agreed, if not less. I ran into him professionally around 2004, and he was shorter than me. I'm 5'8" (and 1/2) so he was probably closer to 5'6". Now, he was old and looking quite frail at the time so it is possible he had shrank a little by then. Hell, if I remember right, Joanne was about the same height and she's listed as 5'4".

On film, height isn't that big of a deal. You can always put someone on an apple box to better match their co-star for medium shots and close ups. You'll see more specific height requirements for stage. There are a lot of roles where anyone shorter than 6 feet need not apply. Height differences are impossible to fake on stage.

Celebrities I've met are generally shorter than I expect, but it's not just height - they tend to extraordinarily thin, even the men - just surprisingly petite.
Kiefer Sutherland, Jared Leto, Chris Evans, Justin Theroux....all shorter than you'd expect and remarkably thin, almost as if they could wear XS or clothing sizes for Boys.
Honestly, my experience is that people in Los Angeles generally tend to be thinner than people in other parts of the country - maybe it's group pressure, I don't know.

This is very true. TV and movie actors, when you see them in person, look almost malnourished. Even guys who looks muscly. In particular I remember meeting Dennis Quaid (meh, face like a road map) and the poor guy looked like he just escaped Devil's Island. What scares me is when you see super thin people ON screen (Shelley Duvall, DJ Qualls) and you realize they must be walking skeletons in real life.

R21 sometimes Mother Nature or genetics just pours it ALL in, for an embarras de richesse. This was my unhappy lot. I modeled to pay my way through Dartmouth, and dabbled in off-broadway. After graduation I tried to transition into acting. But the message was that I was too handsome, too tall, and my family equipment was especially too big. They said it caused unwanted complications for blocking shots and for the cinematography. So I became a reconstructive plastic surgeon, giving something back, for the people in horrible disfiguring accidents, or just losers of the genetic lottery.
