Scott Caan is almost exactly like I was with a 5.9 dad and a 5.2 mother I ended up at a 5.65 which was completely normal.
It is stupid for someone to believe he stunted his growth because he is not taller than his father.
Yes sometimes the mother genes play more of a hand. I know two brothers one is 5 9 and the other 5 1 and their parents are 5 6 and 5 1.

Most hieght comes from the mother
It depends on who gave the dominant genes for height. In my case I would of been screwed because my mother is 5 1 but that is not the case.
It can work the other way too. I know people who have short parents but they end up being tall.
We didn't nickname it "genetic lottery" without reason.
That's all kinda unpredictable things ,my mom and dad are really short (5 ft 2 and 5 ft 3) but I'm 5 ft 10 ,some of my friends(2 brothers) who have taller parents (about 5 ft 7 and 5 ft 5) ended up with 5 ft 8.5 and 5 ft 7

I'm not saying it couldn't happen genetically. It's just minority.

and also because his sleep deprivation and depression were extreme.

If it was true, most guys would be shorter than their fathers today. There are thousands of celebrities, I only managed to find about 6 people in this case.

The key word I said was sometimes. It depends what genes are dominant and recessive and as the other user pointed out sometimes other factors have to be considered when both parents are super short but the child grows to 5 10.

Well, they're not mutually exclusive. You could do bad on the genetic lottery and still miss a couple centimeters due to your life and nutrition. But yeah, most of the height boils down to genetics.

A couple of centimeters will not decide your life's fate.
