JT on Andre The Giant
The scene with Giant Silva and Kurrgan in tuxedos is at the end of part 1 and the beginning of part 2 of these videos. Click Here Click Here
Earthquake’s boots have very small soles as usual and Kurrgan in dress shoes does not look all that much taller. Silva looks like he’s wearing a padded suit as his upper body was nowhere near the size it appears to be. JR also refers to him as being 7’5” as Big Show/Giant was being billed at 7’4” at the time in WCW. I haven't looked too closely but the video quality appears too crappy to make out how large the soles are on Silva's and Kurrgan's dress shoes (though they'll still be larger than the soles on Quake's boots). IMO Silva would have Kurrgan by an easy 4-5 inches.
RisingForce on Sylvester Stallone
Brad, I haven't posted on this page for 3 years. Maybe a year and a half frequently. A few times before that under anonymous. I didn't start posting here that logn before Glenn's first ban.
James on Tom Cruise
Also on day two of the meeting if you look at the pics glenn litralley looks like he has just woken up.
James on Brad Pitt
5'9 is a joke for Brad Pitt. Maybe in about 10 years time Brad Pitt might just be 5ft10.25 barefoot but for now he is a legit 179-180cm. Maybe when he's 70 he will be 5ft9.
Vibram on General Height
Tony M says
"No matter what people say about 5ft 10 it’s considered a nice healthy height. Obviously the 6 footers won’t say that. Whereas 5ft 9s seem to create great indifference."
Exactly. And I only think the over 6-footers will verbally mistreat a 5ft10 guy man if involves rivalry over a woman. People are generally cautious at bullying a guy over 5ft10, regardless if he's slim build or doesn't look very powerful, but it seems they do it at free will to guys that are 5ft9 and below and lack "heft" (don't look strong). It's like how women think 6ft male = protection, where as 5ft8 male = can't protect. I think men think the same, it's like they are programmed to think men below 5ft10 "need to be tested for manliness to see if they can defend themselves or are they a pu**y boy". It's like people are trying to crush you to make feel like your small and worthless.
From my experience, if your a well built (tank-like say 190lbs ) 5ft9 guy, fair game - people wouldn't dare call you small, but slim and slight / low muscle mass 5ft9 guy with a 'nerd' or young (not rugged & manly) face, people will be inclined to call you small and treat you abjectly, like a bully would do to very small victim. No matter how inclined people are to my views, I KNOW WELL ENOUGH 5'9' is the commonest height to fall under severe scrutiny. You only have to look on this website that male celebs who are listed 5ft9 receive the lions share of debates.
Some common remarks on a popular 5ft9 celeb guy here (I won't give his name)
Guy1: "he looks average to me, he passes for 5ft10"
Guy2: "No way is he average!!....this guy is TINNNYYY, like 5ft7".
Brad on Tom Cruise
I met a laughing hyena but he was the first hyena in history to read english and he died from laughing after reading old Glenn posts "Bruce is 6' 1", Sly is 5' 10.75", I'm 5' 8" by so & so". Cruise had the G and he lost the footwear battle with him. Rob's listing is A-OK.
James on Bruce Willis
Costner at his peak was probably a minimum of a flat 6'1.
Mike on General Height

Mike says on 18/Nov/09
Do people agree with this chart for the 18-30 age range in the UK?
__________
Yes, spot on man more or less. Without faffing on I still think 5ft11 should be in the average range for 18-30 along with 5ft10.
Revised IMO:
5'3 and under - extremely and very noticeably short
5'4/5'5 - very short
5'6/5'7 - short
5'8/5'9 - below average
5'10/5'11 - average
6'0 - above average
6'1/6'2/6'3 - tall
6'4/6'5 - very tall
6'6 and over - extremely and very noticebaly tall
Ideal height range - 5'11 - 6'3 (180cm - 190cm)
-----------------
Your height chart doesnt actually work Vibram. As was pointed out to me in previous posts, the value for each height below the average should correlate with the heights above. For example, this is what you have:
5'8/5'9 - below average
5'10/5'11 - average
6'0 - above average
6'1/6'2/6'3 - tall
This is what it should be:
5'8/5'9 - average
5'10/5'11 - average
6'0/6'1 - above average
6'2/6'3 - tall
If you put 5'10/5'11 as the average and 5'8/5'9 as below average, then 6'0/6'1 has to be above average, otherwise it doesnt make sense.
IMO 5'11 is not average height for 18-30 year olds in the UK, maybe in another 10-20 years..
Vegas on Andre The Giant
i remember a piece on powerslam magazine where the ridiculed kurrgans 7ft billing and aguila weight billing, ron reis dwarfed john tenta and he was 7'1, no way was kurrgan just 2 inches shorter comparing both men to tenta
Kitty on Regis Philbin
He is shorter than Kelly. That makes him maximum 5'2". Let's be real... his feet can't even get on the ledge of the high stools. They don't have chairs for the guests for a reason. Regis is short!!!
IMO on Zach Braff
I'm sorry rob89 but height is fact, not opinion
I'm measured between 5'7 and 5'8.5 but mostly 5'8 :P
What i'm getting at is he could be standing at 5'11 in scrubs but is generally 6' :)
Shaun on Roger Daltrey
Yeah but Brad, while you are here braggin about your apparent 6 ft 6 inches and how you dwarf him and how Glenn was so much shorter than what he claimed, Daltrey is the lead singer in one of the best live rock bands of all time and a multi-millionaire.
Joseph on Brad Pitt
"At somewhere between a legit 5'9" and 5'10""
"dont even mention 5'9"
:)
jed on General Height
Vibram has a point actually. In Freakonomics it talks about how a guy who is tall at 16 will be more confident than a guy who only gets tall at 20. If you are 5'9 and grew later on, then although average at full height, you were small throughout your teenage years. Thus feel less confident.

That qualifies for a ban don´t you agree, Rob?
Man, you're really grasping at straws, Metric......if anyone qualifies for a ban, it's you- but then again, I wouldn't expect you to be able to understand why due to your endless absence of insight, reasoning, and sheer old gray matter. Demonstrating your lack of those said traits has been your only success here and most likely anywhere if your celebheights socials skills are any indication how you normally conduct yourself. Congrats on being a complete failure, Mr. Aahnus.

JT says on 18/Nov/09
kurrgan says on 18/Nov/09
....So I still say Kurrgan peak hits between 6'11 and 7' foot
Click Here IMO he's more in the 6'8" to 6'9" range. Golga/Earthquake is around 6'6"; Giant Silva probably 7'1" to 7'2" tops. Kurrgan's one of the tallest men to ever wrestle in the WWE but I have no doubt that Kevin Nash would be taller. Kurrgan would probably match up well height-wise with Matt Morgan.
I don't know, Golga is in wrestlings boots and Kurrgan are in very thin soled slacks, plus they always wanted Silva to look monsterous and he does have noticably thicker soled shoes there. I still see Kurrgan about 6'11.
c-mo on General Height
its very confusing to be between 173cm (5'8) and 177cm (around 5'9.5) because you are not really short but not really solid average too :-D .....like i said before my height is 177-178cm first in the morning and 176cm most of the day (like vibram) ....and most men at the same height like me will agree with me at this point that our height is really tricky and weird
JayB on Taylor Lautner
I think its time for a downgrade Rob. He's 5'8" MAX. Saw him on Jay Leno the other night and 5'11" Jay Leno(as listed on this site) had 3 inches on him. He's probably done growing. Lots of bodybuilding stunts growth and he packed on 30 pounds of muscle.
mId on Randy Couture
Clay: yet he is the same height or even taller than rampage when they spar and train together.. hmm? funny.. I could be wrong but I thought you and the others here were saying I was crazy thinking both rampage and couture are under 6'.. and you were like.. no.. they are 6'-6'0.5" and never go under it. don't tell me you have had a chance of heart and joining me over here at the dark side? :)
Paul on Viggo Mortensen
I'm surprised. Just watched Eastern Promises - they gave the illusion that he was quite big.
Leung on Randy Couture
Clay,
I am a little shocked at your Couture estimate because you are usually quite accurate with your MMA heights, but 179-180 cm is off the mark considerably. I believe 183 cm is spot on for Couture.

JayB on Taylor Swift
5'10" or 5'11" is rediculous, she's 5'9".
JayB on Kristen Stewart
Ok lets clear this up. Kristen Stewart is not 5'6" even though she claims it. You can never believe the heights that come out of Celebrities mouths, they lie just like everyone else. Rob has K-Stew right at 5'4". Also Taylor Lautner is 5'8" not 5'10 or 5'11 like some of you have been saying. He was on Jay Leno the other night and Jay Leno is listed on this site at 5'11. Jay had atleast 3 inches on Taylor Lautner making him 5'8". Taylor Swift is an inch taller than Taylor Lautner making her 5'9"(Even though she claims 5'11" which is rediculous.) So its 5'4" for Kristen Stewart, 5'8" for Taylor Lautner and 5'9" for Taylor Swift. I'm being 100% honest.
JayB on Usher Raymond
I have proof that Usher is 5'8" MAX. He was on Ellen the other day and Ellen is listed on this site at 5'7". Usher had no more than one inch on Ellen if not less. He's 5'8" MAX and here's the clip(just wait till usher comes out). Click Here
JayB on Zac Efron
Zac Efron doesn't have an inch on Ellen, they're about the same height. I really think Zac is 5'7".
Zach on Sylvester Stallone
Jessica you're clearly very new to the world of Stallone's monstrous footwear. Firstly, Assante acted with Sly in Judge Dredd not Demolition Man. They did everything to make Sly taller in that film, particularly camera angles. Judge Dredd from the comic books is a towering figure and many of Dredd's die hard fans were distraught that someone of Sly's stature got picked for the role.
Regardless here's his footwear in Judge Dredd: Click Here
And if you actually were referring to Demolition Man: Click Here
You are right, he often does LOOK 5'10/11, but can you see now why? With good posture and camera angles he can even sometimes look around the 5'11.5 mark, but that doesnt necessarily mean thats his actual height.
Regarding the Rocky Balboa premiere, Sly wears elevator footwear everywhere and almost 100% always at public events. He also uses every trick in the book, from being caught tip toeing to the best camera angles. In the picture you posted he's closer to the camera than 5'8.5 Milo Ventimiglia. In this picture they're a similar distance from the camera and you can also see Sly's elevator shoes: Click Here
Tony M on General Height
Hi Guys, I'm laughing my backside off here!
I think what Vibram is trying to say here is that 5ft 9 is a real watermark/crossover point/twilight area or whatever you want to call it.
I myself tried the Alexander Technique the other day by trying to stand straight whilst balancing a hard book on my head and measuring the bottom of the book edge with a tape measure bare foot. Now my posture is really bad and the reason for doing all this is because my posture is starting to give me back pain. I’m trying a number of things throughout the day to alleviate the pressure on my lumber and then measuring it the following day.
I can measure anywhere between 5ft9 ½ solid to 5ft 9 ¾ but never anything either way.
My point being is that I feel that missing quarter inch off 5ft 10 (double figures) does have the tendency to make you feel short. Crushed even. It’s a real strange height to be at. You feel very square. Whereas if I see anyone smaller than me I consider them all to be very small. Even if it’s only a ¼ inch smaller than me. So I know I must either be small or on the cusp of smalldom.
Whereas someone 5ft 7 knows they are small period and someone 6ft knows they are tall period. Whilst someone 5ft 10 would never consider themselves small even if they felt small, thought they had bad posture or felt small around 6ft people because at the end of the day when it comes down to it they are 5ft 10. Which is a nice clear height to be at.
To me it’s like a safety zone or the finishing line. You’ve made it!
No matter what people say about 5ft 10 it’s considered a nice healthy height. Obviously the 6 footers won’t say that. Whereas 5ft 9s seem to create great indifference.
Although, I myself feel short I’ve got a work friend who I often regard as being a height I’d love to look like and when I stand toe to toe with him I am actually the same height! I just can’t work it out. I feel when I’m not around him about 3inches smaller. Whilst when I stand around him it gives me more of an insight to my actual height rather than perceived height.
But at the end of the day, I don’t feel his height and that’s the problems 5ft9s have to deal with. I think anyway.
VIBRAMS POST
Simpleton, most chicks don't think 5-9 is 5-10 or 5-11. In my experience you’re more likely to be seen as the 5-7 "Tom Cruise range & media insults" guy as I've said many times.
I would like to live where you live if those chicks see 5ft9 as 5ft11.

Kirk: briefly, objective arguments are supported by evidence, and subjective arguments based on personal motives (in your case full of dire stubborness to talk about feelings, to be right, and to incite an emotional reaction from me).
If you want to discuss height objectively, why don't you start by gauging Sheen's height by either commenting on any evidence posted, or post any new evidence. Your English is good enough. Good for you?

Heightcritique on Antonio Banderas
Carpanta: I enjoyed reading your post. In regard to your question, what I mean by "many" is a big percentage of the population of Spain share that charasteristic, and ony a small percentage retain the blonde hair gene trait to maturity.
Specifically, the European, Mediterranean, and Semitic (noting that the biggest population of Jews in 16th century lived in Spain) ancestry of the Spaniards is noted in said notable genetic particularity of hair color change due to the darker hair gene trait being dominant and the lighter hair gene trait being recessive, and with the underlying point that there is no definite notorious biotype (unless you are talking region specific but there are too many exceptions to the rule which makes that hypothesis inconclusive).
The true can be say for the French, Italian, and Greek populations to a large extent since they share similar gene pools characteristics and notable mediterranean and nordic types percentages in their populations.
For the English, on the other hand, that is not the case. The ancient tribes of Britain of similar gene pool characteristics (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) were not only assimilated by other Central and Northern European tribes (Normans, and Scandanevians) but also by a Southern European tribe (Iberian Celts being the founders of Ireland and Scotland which were slightly darker in comparison) and the mediterranean tribe of ancient Rome (notable darker in comparisson who were also ancestors of ancient Greeks tribes). The obvious question that comes to mind is why there is not a notable (percentage wise) of the darker Celt and Roman biotype in the populations of the English Isles? The answer is in its history. The decree of Prima Notte impossed by the brutal English kings of antiquity recessed any notable difference in its gene pool by anglo-saxonizing or homozygousing its gene pool to what is now the modern English biotype.
But as you mentioned, the English biotype is changing due to significant Central African (but also Middle Eastern, and Indian) migrations in the last couple of decades, noted in your comment related to English footballers.
Brad on Rob Paul
100% BS. He measures 5' 7" at wake-up. Look at him with Jenny, that's nobody near 5' 7.5" at wake-up. He lied about his height and inflated literally almost every celeb to make himself 5' 8". Look at him with Emile Hirsch.
Big T on William Mapother
Just realised you have to be signed in to facebook and, I guess, on that guy's friend list to see the photo? Bummer. Oh well, trust me, he looks about 2 1/2 inches shorter than Mapother, and it's a good shot except you can tell it slopes slightly in my friend's advantage.
Big T on William Mapother

Just found out my friend has a photo with this guy!
My friend is 5'9 1/2". In this photo he looks to have pavement advantage, although his posture isn't that great. All thinks considered he looks exactly as I'd expect him to look compared to Mapother, and Rob has him bang on.
Also reinforces in my mind how I'd look next to Rob as a legit 5'10 1/2" who has a solid inch on that friend (for those who have suggested I'm really only 5'9" or so when I've complained that even at my height I feel short sometimes)
Victor on Robert Wadlow
Has anyone seen or heard of Rhona Fraser. She was born in 1942 and was living in Banbury and later Cradley Heath in early 70s. Her height at 6 ft 11 would have made her, one of the tallest, if not the tallest woman in UK.

Vibram on General Height
Kristen says on 17/Nov/09
I might understand the origin of Vibram's issues (if he's serious). He was small from the ages of 11 to 16, so maybe his mind is still stuck at that particular time in his life. He doesn't realize that he's average height now. He still feels like the small boy who was towered by other boys and girls.
---------------
You might have some things right there, but at 5ft9.3 I'm still 1" below average for a white British male under 50. There is evidence which suggests a guys height at age 16 has profound influence on how successful he is in adult life. An early maturing boy could reach full adult height by 16, whilst a small minority are just starting puberty and are still short and childlike.
Click Here
" For men, height appears to be the ticket for favoritism.
Economists Nicola Persico, Andrew Postlewaite and Dan Silverman tried to explain the origin of the "height premium." They found that for white men in the United States, a 1.8-percent increase in wages accompanies every additional inch of height. Men's wages as adults can be linked to their height at age 16. For a given adult height, Persico, Postlewaite and Silverman found that increasing height at age 16 by one inch increased adult wages by 2.6 percent, on average. For two adult men of the same height, the one who was taller at 16 would most likely earn the higher wage. "
Brad on Shania Twain

That was Giant Silva. He is about 7'2" and maybe 420lbs or so. He is certainly a HUGE human being. He's naturally bigger than Khali. Bigger body, but doesn't have the muscles...kind of like Mr. Rousimoff.
Jim Ross has said a couple times Khali is the biggest man he's seen in the business combining height and muscle mass - and freakish huge hands/feet.
Ok...that's fine, but I'm not blind. Clearly Silva is a little taller and is larger than him in their match on youtube. Imagine if Silva had the muscles of Khali. Big Show is also bigger than him as was Andre. Heck Gonzalez was as well. Take away Khali's muscles and he wouldn't be as impressive. Don't get me wrong, he is a freakishly large man.

I've been calling BS on Couture's height for a while now. 6'1'' is impossible to believe and the fact UFC lists him 6'2'' is laughable when he's towered by guys like Lesnar and Vera. Does look 179-180 CM.

Shock on Kane
Particularly in backstage stuff, they always make Kane look as close to a 7' bill as possible. They give him off and on 6'10" bills, I don't know why they bother straying from 7', I think they should just break down and give him a 6'10" bill. His staredowns with Big Show last year killed it, considering Big Show is currently billed less than his height in boots. Makes no sense.
Shock on The Undertaker
Taker was 5" taller than Trips on RAW even with Trips on a slightly higher plane from the straight on camera. He's probably about 5.5" taller, or half his head height.
I think regardless of Taker's hairline, his percentage of skull above his eyes is more than just about anyone.
Click Here
Vegas, I wonder if he's still nursing the knee injury, might not be able to do as much cardio which could also be why his matches have been shorter and less involved recently.
Clay, Triple H definitely does not have lifts, his boots are 1", I'm still undecided about Taker's, either 1 or 1.2", sometimes the length of his foot makes them look 1" currently.
Also there was one vague close quarters exchange with Taker and Show where Taker came out very well on him, hopefully we'll get a staredown at the PPV.
Here's another shot from wwe . com with Kane and Taker from SD Click Here
JT, 5" Big Show forehead I think results in over 13" for his skull. I really don't know if he's more than 4.5". Andre definitely had a 12" head, since it was about 2" taller than Hogan's. Hogan's got a pretty large head and Andre dwarfed him.

you are correct about height in USA decreasing, especially for women. If the average height of women is 5'4" (as claimed), then you should be seeing roughly equal amounts of 5'7" and 5'1" women. Height follows a normal distribution curve, and these two heights are equally as far from the "median" 5'4". The same would go for the heights of 5'10" and 4'10" (you should be seeing equal amounts, roughly, of these two heights). However, I will be the first to tell you that this is not the case, not even close. MANY women seem to be around 5' or below, whereas I have probably met only 1 woman who was 5'10", in my whole life. 5'7" is not common at all, either, except for maybe men. Also, 5'4" and below is considered a petite pant size. This was probably relegated in the 1960s or 70s and has carried on until today. However, women must have been taller then, because 5'4" and below is pobably 75% of women these days, based on what I have been seeing. So what was once petite is now 75% of women today. I think they need to redo that study on height, because average is CERTAINLY not 5'4" any more. Its cool that someone else has finally noticed this.

Brad says on 13/Nov/09
"Glenn wasn't close to Cruise's height. They weren't side by side. Glenn had his massive Porties on, Cruise can't compete with that garbage G wore standing outside Madison Square Garden as Natalie Portman walked by, those were like blue Munster boots. Edge in footwear: G. Rob's listing is as close one can get. The G, have you met your cab driver?. Wilson 6'? Stiller must be in Portmans plus wedge."
LOL as usual. It's important to note for those who weren't here during the G era that he never submitted a full-length photo and often claimed to be wearing trainers. He was exposed when someone found the Natalie Portman photo elsewhere on the net. They posted it and it was the only full length celeb photo of G ever seen--and he just happened to be wearing big boots?!? And he didn't even decently own Natalie Portman!

G would go bezerk if you'd utter the words "5'7"" as his height. I still member when viper spewed.... "glenn, your 5'7" and glenn blew a head gasket. Comical stuff. And speaking of comical, 5'11" colin fits right into that category. Yes aleks, 5'8" colin next to the Gster.

BB says on 27/Oct/09
Well why should i believe you've meet him? There is no way he is is more than 5'8.5 5'9 MAX maybe i was pushing it a bit with 5'7. I dont think i have to make up meeting him, it's not exactly like i was meeting Johnny depp. Also he always wears shoes/boots with heels, and he always rolls up his jeans why would he if he was 5'10.5. I dont have to defend myself against your or anyones accusations, people who have actually meet him and KNOW him, know his height.
I have a photo with him at the leeds festival 2008 at the Dirty Pretty Things signing tent taken by one of their PR people and put on the website and it's probably still there. So I have met him and the whole band that's why you should believe me. I was wearing chunky K-SWISS trainers that day and he was wearing normal healed shoes giving the same height difference in footwear. I measure 5'10.5 thats a 100% fact! he was my height if not taller, how do you explain that one then BB? I was standing talking eye to eye with him on flat level ground! I wasn't calling you a liar as in saying you haven't met him, I said your lying about his height, maybes that was a bit harsh, you just obviously can't judge heights very well, and I'm not being patronising but I know when I'm right. Sorry! If he was 5'7" or even below 5'10' Pete Doherty would dwarf him by 7-8 inches! there's no more than 4 inches between them, come on face facts!

Zolo on Scott Wolf
Women worry about their weight. Men worry about their height. Leading men are thought to be around 6 foot tall. Back in the day (Boggie - 5' 8", etc) the rest of the cast was sized off of the lead character. Occasionally a supporting actor was slightly taller, but never an actress. It's being vain. Height does affect the roles they can get.

Heightcritique on Arnold Schwarzenegger
Metric says on 17/Nov/09
Guy - Thanks for your psycho analysis. Except you are wrong. I´m 5-11 not 6-0. So I actually acknowledge that Arnold WAS taller than me once. With emphasis on W A S. He is my height today 5-11.
Guy: yes good analysis even Metric admits you were accurate, but you forgot to name all maladies in Metric's psycho personality profile so let me collaborate and supplement with specifics: schizophrenia, tourette, obsessive compulsive behavior (i.e. 6'2" is the new 5'11" in Aahnus), sexual deviation behavior (BDSM, fantasies of German actors spanking and degrading him in Conan and Terminator outfits), dementia (unability to tell height or to perceive perspective), etc...
The 5'11" height the demented subject is referring to is linked to his fairy fantasy of being the same height of his ultimate BDSM slave master who he wants him to be his same height as his obsessive irrational posts show. Conlusion: you can show the demented subject photos, clips, and even try to draw pictures with crayons to show height differences but with his advanced dementia, repetitive schizo obsession of 5'11", and intruding tourette the subject resists to be anthropologize back to rationality. Recommendation: subject has two options: (1) continue spending a lot of time at GBAR and SLM Men's Club in Aahnus with other fairies especilly Ali, and continue loosing more brain cells until his brain becomes empty matter, or (2)voluntarily check in here Click Here and seek help

Clay on Brad Pitt
delphonic says on 17/Nov/09
Brad Pitt is NOT SHORT. At somewhere between a legit 5'9" and 5'10". He's quite average and plenty tall enough to suddenly appear the perfect "sex symbol" height of 6' without the help of mega-boots and military posture. I think even Rob is well aware at this point that he isn't 5'11", but he'll never change it officially because having him at 5'11" generates so much debate, hence many site visits, hence more advertising bucks for Rob. Smart man! ;)
Anything under 5'10 is rubbish. Cut the bull, dont even mention 5'9 he clearly isnt that low.
Clay on Rob Paul
RisingForce says on 18/Nov/09
So if Rob(who measured Glenn) estimates Glenn at either 5'7.5" or 5'7.75" out of bed, then what's the big deal? Glenn always claimed he was 5'8" out of bed and since he returned to celebheights the second time he started saying if he was wrong then he could be 5'7.75" out of bed.
The measurements aren't that far off from what Glenn claimed. Glenn admitted measuring under 5'7" at night before the measurement.
Exactly. Glenn more than likely was once measured 5'7.5 or 5'7.75 right out of bed and rounded up but told everyone he hit 5'8, which he badsically did. The pathetic thing isnt Glenn ''lying'' about his height, its guys like Brad and Metric and their obsession with friggin Glenn!

I remember watching a match between Hogan and Ventura from 1982. This was when Ventura was at his biggest and was listed at 6'5 271(he grabbed the microphone from the announcer and yelled 280). Hogan was way bigger! looked like about 3 inches and about 60 pounds. So even if Ventura was only about 6'3 and about 260(and he was not less than that because he was one of the bigger guys at the time) that leaves Hogan at 6'6 and about 320 at least and maybe more.

5'8/5'9 - below average
5'10 - average
5'11/6'0 - above average

Same difference. You could expect yourself to look eye to eye or even a little down on Arnold today. It infuriates you when Arnold still claims 6'1" today, and there is still lots of evidence he could have been telling the truth.

jed on General Height
To be that much taller than you at 6'2.5? Well, 10 inch head (being generous) - 4 (for forehead) = 6 inches. So probably 6'8/6'9.
Vibram, man, I think you have confidence issues above all else. I think you should lighten up. If girls were checking you out when you had lifts then you must be good looking, regardless. Being 6'1 in shoes does not equal getting girls without a half decent face! Seriously, if I were you, don't wear stupid lifts, but just put a little extra in your shoes to get you up to a 5'10 bare foot illusion so you look 5'11 in shoes. It must be tough man, but please, don't get worked up on it. You aren't a bad height. I have loads of friends 5'7-5'9 who have hot girlfriends.
6'7 bloody sticks out mate! That's insanely tall. 6'4 is the max you can be without sticking out like a sore thumb. But you stand out at 6'2 half the time.
Ideal height for a man in my opinion is 6'2-6'3.25 (188-191cm) anything over 6'4 is too tall even for an athlete (unless basketballer).

Kurrgan's one of the tallest men to ever wrestle in the WWE but I have no doubt that Kevin Nash would be taller. Kurrgan would probably match up well height-wise with Matt Morgan.

I don't think you can judge the Irish population by Ronan Keating, Westlife, or Boyzone. After all we don't take our perceptions of Israeli feminity from Dana International, don we?
I am Irish. I currently live in Spain and before that I lived in France and the UK. I have travelled extensively and have always felt much taller than people in the countries I have visited as well as in France, Spain and the UK. The only exceptions to this were the US, Austria and the Netherlands. I am about 1m90 or 6ft 2 or 3 and have always felt quite normal in terms of my height in Ireland. I am not saying that everyone is 6ft2 or 3, but the majority of other guys my age would normally be about 6ft atleast, I presume. I can normally make eye contact with people which I can't always do in other countries without lowering my head.
This is just my perception based on my experience!
I always presumed that due to the high content of dairy in our diet, I rish people were quite tall!

mcfan on Brad Pitt
Don't go by shoulders side by side. That's a deceptive way of getting to someone's height as people vary greatly with their necks. In truth, people with long necks often appear shorter than persons of the same height with high shoulders. My brother has a long neck and is slightly taller than me, but almost always, women say that I am taller. His posture is fine, it is simply just an illusion. Only go by the tops of their heads assuming everything else is in place. I'll admit Brad always looked to me 5'11, but I've seen him a couple of times look 5'10 for no apparent reason, which leads me to believe he wears lifts in his sneakers and elevator shoes since his height fluctuates way too much.

I dont really see the tilt in this case. And even if i did, we cannot tell if the tilt is in place in your Lucas photo as theres nothing to reference it to as its a closer shot.
Click Here
How about this photo? Close up, no "tilt", Sly next to Jack who is next to Lucas. Sly is not much taller than Jack(and Sly is in lifts, with better posture) and Jack is taller then Lucas. Either Lucas is shorter than listed here or is not wearing lifts that night(or both cases), unless Jack is really 5'11", which he isn't.
I think Sly is really close to Jack in height barefoot. Probably a bit taller, but not by much. I think Jack is in the 5'8" range nowadays. I have no idea why Sly doesn't look much taller then Jack even though Sly is in lifts, but theres a video of the event where Sly and Jack look a similar height throughout it, so i don't think its just camera snap-shot trickery. My opinion anyway.
xyz on Halle Berry
Isn't it time for a downgrade? 5'3-4.
xyz on Mya
Joanna Krupa who was also on Dancing with the Stars and is 5'7. I remember Krupa when she started out as a fitness model. The two of them with Kelly Osborne were standing side by side last night and Mya was about 2 inches shorter than Krupa. I couldn't see there shoes but they were probably wearing dancing heels of approximately the same heel height. So 5'5 is right. I see 5'7 listed on the internet and fits with the theory that a celeb's height is usually 2 inches shorter than the posted height. Her dancing is amazing.
Peter J on Victoria Beckham
I noticed two photos in a newspaper, recently - one of her with Naomi Campbell and Marc Jacobs, and the other of Marc Jacobs with Kate Moss. Without knowing what heels they were each in, Victoria B was a good 8 inches shorter than Ms. Campbell, and it was striking to see how petite she was in comparison.
If the two models are the height they're listed, with Kate Moss being not much above the female British average at 5'6" or so, it makes a nonsense of most of the estimates here.
A fitness coach at La galaxy, connected to their sponsor,Herbalife, was quoted as saying he David B was 11.5 stone. I'd say that was about right as he's no more than average height and not a muscular build, as were always led to believe, and about 3 st. lighter than myself at a similar height.
Vibram on Brad Pitt
archs, Redford is a pretty vain guy. He had ps and a canthopexy done on his face when he was 63 for christ sake.
HE wore lifts in spy game.
RisingForce on Sylvester Stallone
Let me also say that while I'm not 100% certain on Sly. I'm changing my estimate to a flat 5'9". I'll give him a solid 5'9" peak and a weak 5'9" now.
kurrgan on Andre The Giant
Hey I was looking online and found this! Click Here
Kurrgan seemed to have an inch on the lift wearing Kane. So I still say Kurrgan peak hits between 6'11 and 7' foot
RisingForce on Rob Paul
So if Rob(who measured Glenn) estimates Glenn at either 5'7.5" or 5'7.75" out of bed, then what's the big deal? Glenn always claimed he was 5'8" out of bed and since he returned to celebheights the second time he started saying if he was wrong then he could be 5'7.75" out of bed.
The measurements aren't that far off from what Glenn claimed. Glenn admitted measuring under 5'7" at night before the measurement.
RisingForce on Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Well then I guess 5'8" is too low, but this guy is worse than Sly Stallone when it comes to footwear. Aside from the photos posted below, he supposedly wears cowboy boots even while he's playing basketball!
Mike on General Height
asdf says on 17/Nov/09
I'm 6'5" barefoot... and a little over 6'5" in the morning. My wingspan is about 79", which actually seems low to me. My standing reach is about 8'6"; I can easily press my knuckles against an 8' ceiling. If I could be any height I would choose 6'7"... the upper limit to which you can grow without sticking out like a sore thumb.
When I go somewhere with my brothers we can draw some attention; usually people will think we are part of a basketball team. We are 6'4", 6'5", and 6'7".
--------------------
You want to be 6'7?! I'm sorry but at 6'5 you already stick out like a sore thumb. Why on earth would you want to be this tall? Its like a guy who's 5'3 wishing he was 5'1, makes no sense!
Mike on Devon Murray
Rob I have a suggestion, why don't you include the date of when each photo was taken, that way you can avoid confusion about peoples age, and late growth spurts etc.
Z man on Sean Connery
Connery was no more than 1 inch taller than Rowan Atkinson in NSNA.Connery was 53, so he hadn't lost much height @ that stage.Atkinson is 6-0.Z man
Anonymous on Amitabh Bachchan
Dhoni being 5ft 8 would make Srk 5ft5.5 which is out of question.Aloy I believe you are very good at judging heights but it is not always necessary that people are always more or equal to what they claim.I believe Irfan is the perfect example.Just There is a possibility that he is 1 inch more(Him being 6ft would support the height stated by other players).I have met people who claim to be 6ft but turn out to be 6ft 1(Few in number but nevertheless).I believe Dhoni is 5ft10(looks exactly 4 inchess less than 188 cm hayden in IPL).Ganguly at 5ft11,Dravid at 5ft11.5,Kumble at 6ft1.5,Yuvi 6ft1.5.Shilpa I do believe is 5ft7.5 as she looked around 3 inches shorter than 5ft10.5-5ft11 Warne.T Comets,Jackie was never taller then Big B.In Akayla(1991),he was 0.5-1 inch shorter.
Tim on Viscera
6'6.5'' is his width, his height is 6'6.25'' out of bed
Rika on Paul Bettany
Dead link Moke.
But, i got another link but i cant be bothered going to tinyurl tonight, im to tired. I'll do it tomorrow.
But i stand by 6'1 when next to 6'3 Doug Jones. I have actually seen 4 pics of them together, right next to each other with Jones being at least 1.5 inches taller.
Rika on Taylor Lautner
Actually, the average male should stop growing completely at 22, some sources say 21`but growth is unpredictable. My brother was 6'3 when he was 22, at 25 he was 197cm over 191cm in only 3 years.
5'8 sounds right, especially if Leno is 5'11. I would've said 5'7 last year, he didnt look that much taller than many of the other cast(female)
Rika on James Cosmo
Wow, he looks much bigger than 6'1 in the films.
Halb on Eric Bana
He looked tall next to Clarkson on Sunday.
Anonymous on Ronan Keating
my sister got a photo with him at the melbourne cup, she woulda been in 2.5 inch heels max, he wuold of been in 1.25 inch dress shoes...she had about 2 to 3 inches on this guy and she is roughly my height which is just under 5 foot 9...this guy is about 5 foot 8, definately not 5 foot 6
Jennifer on Robin Wright Penn
5'6?!! I thought she was like 5'10 in Forrest Gump. Cameras playing tricks on me again.
Mickey on Richard Dean Anderson
Strange case, this guy. Been watching a lot of MacGyver lately, and he really never looks tall. I would have guessed 6' tops. Somebody 6'2, even 6'1 will typically appear to be tall. Anderson never does, in any scene. And he sometimes even looks average. Might have to do with his frame and 80s clothing.
RisingForce on Rob Paul
Rob, how tall do you think Wilford Brimley is?
Brad on Matt Damon
Sure Rising, they sure don't look unusual....like G in his Portmans, he needs them. Bourne booties assist 5' 8"ers to new levels. Yes Anonymous, best post this month: 100% correct, short & sweet...he's always the short guy with Clooney & Pitt and any other 5' 10" (or plus) guy. Risingfarce Eeeeeeee! I haven't heard that one since Viperization. 5' 10" is a stone joke, G stuff. File under Willis at 6' 1" and I've met him 20 times in awl types of footwear, who have you met your bartender? Damon needs Iron Maiden G booties, they got G to 5' 8" vs. the shrimpy Maidens who still owned him in Priestleys...but they look like glued on bricks, Burt Reynolds stuff.
Mickey on John De Lancie
Looked only about an inch taller than 6'1" Richard Dean Anderson in an episode of MacGyver.
Brad on Paul Newman
Not me on that double post. In slippers was MGM magic. A 5' 8.5" man doesn't climb to a 6' 1" guy in sandals vs. slippers. 100% garbage ordered by Sly. The beach shot was another farce. Reality is that b&w line-up photo with Weathers destroying him or the training film with him leaping off the canvas to punch. I showed that one to a GG boxer and he was howling with laughter. You still on that 5' 10"+ laughing gas figure? That's G stuff to benefit his lack of height standing all of 5' 6" (if that) on his toes getting totally owned by a 5' 8.5" Sly in sandals which when I first came here said "5' 8" Glenn with Sly" underneath. That's when I knew G was a TOTAL joke for height reference. The Natalie Portman paparazzi shot was as important as Sly in Rome...it prooved, er proved things.
Lmeister on Dean Gaffney
He has very lean and perfectly proportionate body. Standing alone/with short women he can apper at least 5ft9, but next to average height men he looks short.
brandon on Robin Givens
i think she is 5'3.5"-5'4", considering this photo with legit 5'3" kathy bates.

[Editor Rob: I wear 8.5UK (9.5US), that is pretty average for the height range I'm at]
penny on Roger Bart
you have another entry on this guy as 5'10 is messing up ur website
G.G on Rob Paul
Rob, what is your foot size and is it average for your height of 173 - 174cm?
Mickey D on Jerry Seinfeld
The idea is to look at the shoulders. You can see that their shoulders are at an identical level. therefore, they are both the same height.
Spence on Matt Damon
Damon is nowhere near 5'10...he is 176 tops..I would say he is an even 5'9..He can look 5'10 in some movies because of lifts
Bill on Laura Bertram
I wanna be Rob when I grow up! Laura's the perfect woman.She's sooo fine.
madalena on Bruce Willis
5'11 is really tall. but i would say that is right, in the first one his posture makes him look a bit taller
madalena on Kristen Stewart
don't freak out about it cinta. anyway, rob might be making a mistake, and she looks tall to me, and sometimes she looks regular height, but i would say around 5'5 which is pretty tall.
madalena on Jennifer Aniston
ya, im actually watching that episode, and jennifer is at least three inches taller. also, in another, she's in flats with ross and he's about 7 inches taller and 6'1
kinggollum on Big Show
Topdweeb, I just wanted to say that I am sorry for making fun of you. It is the time of year at the anniversary of my Dad’s death that I just get in a remorseful and pissy mood I am truly sorry.
The Shredder on James Avery
Rob , You gave GOT to give him 6'5 peak , have got to ! I was watching Fletch and he clearly 1.5 inches minimum taller then 6'4 Chevy Chase just like danimal said , and the funny thing is that they said Chevy Chase was 6'5 in the movie !
bam on Sylvester Stallone
brads got it right. Stallone's height is 5'9 with his best posture. The same way any 5'9 man would be 5'9 standing at their straightest.

Tyra just stated she 5'9 in high school but now is 5'10. If you scroll down..I noticed George said he MET her and she was 5'7 tops. What's the TRUTH?

Keesha on Woody Harrelson
Woody looks no taller than 5'9 here with Ted Danson. Click Here
Ted has over 5 inches on Woody. Also Woody really doesnt look taller than 5'9 recently in his movies. 5-10 is just plain wrong. It says that even his license says 5-9. Not sure why hes listed as high as 5'10 on here.
Anonymous 2 on Richard Hatch
Why does he seem shorter than this in BSG?
Comets on Robert Englund
haha, he will always be my favorite freddy krueger :D
Comets on Taylor Lautner
MD, most people in US still think 180cm is 6 feet so they always manage to state their height over 2.5 inches then they actually are. As i said, 5'10 is far fetched. I agree the latin community may have a 5'7 or 5'6 average height and the white population about 5'9. the average height always falls when there are more races of shorter "height" people in a country and the US is a melting pot of different races and cultures and Taylor is a mixed actor, being part french, dutch and amerindian, all these races have generally been known to have over 5'9 average height so in the next few years, we may expect him to grow atleast an inch if not more so kirk, if you are correct in saying that he is 5'6, then he may reach around 5'10 in 3 years if he is lucky.
Rusty on Michael C Hall
Interestingly enough, the younger version of himself on Dexter seems taller than the current one. I would peg him at a strong 5'9".
MD on Calvin Harris
Sammy, is Jedward really 5'10"? I've never really seen the show, but they look so little, for some reason. I was surprised to hear that you said they were 5'10".
Ray on Kane
Yeah, you can say Kane looks a little taller (.5" to sometimes 1") than Taker most times; Taker's slouched/relaxed posture and Kane's footwear advantage always gives that illusion. I've said that many times before and will continue too since it seems that Kane appearing a little taller is always brought up - well then, we have to bring up his footwear advantage as well, along with Taker's relaxed posture. Once in a while they also look the same height and once every greater while, The Undertaker looks slightly taller even with Kane's boot advantage. Usually when he is standing more straight and there is a good camera angle. This leads me to believe Undertaker is a little taller than Kane. The WWE did a good job (and still does) of billing Kane and giving him the illusion of being the taller/bigger one since they want him as the bigger younger brother of the Undertaker. They wanted a monster with Kane.
Clay on Kurt Angle
We dont know his exact weight today. But he does look more 205-210. Havent seen him in a while though.
Clay on The Undertaker
I actually thought HHH looked tall next to Taker. Hunter must wrestle in lifts I think.
Lenad on James Earl Jones
Actually I was looking at some photos and he doesnt look over 6ft1 anymore
Ray on The Undertaker
Yeah, The Undertaker certainly towered HHH last night on RAW. Taker also looked tall next to the Big Show. Pause here at 7:42

You can also see the Undertaker/HHH staredown a few seconds before this.

Zwaard on General Height
Question whats the age at which you start losing height and how much can I expect to lose if I'm 5'11.75?
MD on Height Request
Wood, I believe Brody had himself listed as 5'9" on his webpage, so he's not taller than that.
Rob, could you add Cuban-American rapper Pitbull? He looks 5'6" to 5'7", and since he's around a lot of other famous people, he'd make a decent benchmark.
burby on Emile Hirsch
Look at him next to 5'10.5" Clooney:

Penns smirk next to Emile:
Click Here
He's like a 12 year old who won a contest to meet celebs. Looks 5'2" next to Danny Ocean. The Glenn and Emile photo is beyond explanation. Maybe Portman to mountain boot, or both caught in rare normal sneaker/shoe mode, both of them wild rice short. Has to cast short love interests (Ricci, Cuthbert). He must go to auditions in $2500 3.5" stealth customs.
Anonymous on Hayden Panettiere
Vanessa had to have been in some tricky footwear. Hayden and Vanessa have appeared at several events together, and apart from this most recent one, Hayden has ALWAYS looked taller.
rob89 on Alana Curry
Wow, she's gorgeous! And also looks closer to 5'7 than 5'6 to me, especially since she's not standing nearly as straight as Mamun.
Kristen on General Height
I might understand the origin of Vibram's issues (if he's serious). He was small from the ages of 11 to 16, so maybe his mind is still stuck at that particular time in his life. He doesn't realize that he's average height now. He still feels like the small boy who was towered by other boys and girls.
And another thing, Vibram was wrong about environmental impact on final height. Malnutrition can stunt growth way more than just three inches.

Check out 8:25 In this video the guy with the red hair on the right is 6'2(yes Im sad I looked him up) You can just tell arnie isnt and wasnt a 6 foot and over guy.
Arnold never stands next this red haired guy. The red haired guy is in front and closer to the camera so a proper comparison can't be made.
rob89 on Arnold Schwarzenegger
6'1.5 looks pretty legit to me for his peak height, all things considered. Nowadays i doubt he even reaches the 6' mark though, more like a strong 5'11 IMO.
rob89 on Josh Hartnett
I'd say a solid 6'2, that's what he looks most of the time to me. He had 2-3 inches on Willis and Ford for example. Can look both taller and shorter than 6'2 at times, but overall i think that's about right for him. Affleck is a bit under 6'2 i think, certainly not over that mark.
William on General Height
I'm kind of weird when it comes to morning/afternoon height. In the morning i can be over 177cm and at the end of the day im usually close to 173cm. One time in a really stressfull week with barely a decent nights sleep i even got close to 171 cm. I think it's a spine problem, iv'e always hade a weak back. Thing is i'm 22 and i live in holland, so i really feel short most of the time.
frank on General Height
vibram you are average in height but maybe you are under average in other areas?You catch my drift? It might explain why you are on a constant downer.
