These two may not have been in the entertainment business for that long but they have been here long enough for us to notice the similarities that these young actors share.
They are both in their twenties, only Wood was born in 1981 and is now 29 and Radcliffe was born in 1989 and is now 21. Even though Wood is older than Radcliffe, the Harry Potter star is actually 2 inches taller than Wood.
Both boys rose to fame thanks to two larger than life movie series called The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. They are both partly of English descent, both pretty short for a guy their age and both have those bright baby blues.
Even with all the success, Wood and Radcliffe are still pretty low key when it comes to Hollywood. They are not dating anyone famous, not getting drunk at the hottest clubs and I’m pretty sure neither one of them has ever had a hooker locked in the closet.

WRONG! Harry is 5’5″, and so is Elijah.
Daniel Radcliffe may be 5’5″ but Elijah is not!
Daniel Radcliffe is actually 5’9″. I thought he would be 6’0″. Elijah Wood is 5’7″.
Elijah has been in the business for a LONG time. I’d say 23 years in any business is a long time. He’s been acting since he was 8 yrs old. You left out a few films including his first major role, Avalon, a critically acclaimed film nom’d for 4 Academy Awards.
