Unfortunately, that is true. The only facts the movie gets right, are the dates it quotes. I understand artistic leeway, but then at least make it entertaining, but the movie fails at that as well. The movie is incoherent, maddeningly inaccurate historically and, even though I really like Joaquin Phoenix as an actor, an absolutely terrible portrayal of the person Napoleon was. Phoenix portrays him as if he was mocking the character, making him into some autistic wizzkid who is socially incredibly awkward.
He was actually taller than average for the time, it must have been a garbage movie if they got that wrong.
British propaganda is best propaganda have you seen how real Nelson is in Trafalgar!
From what i heard, the movie is in fact garbage.
Well that sucks. I was looking forward to it.

Nelson was shorter
Wasn’t it because that he recruit even taller folks to be his guards. So that caused people to assume that he was short.
That’s quite possible, selecting troops for height for prestigious roles is nothing new.
Supposedly the guards roles were grenadiers and they were typically taller than average
