thats bull*hit, he doesn't look 5'7
me says on 30/Aug/10
Official height - 5'9". 5'7" is probably about on the generous side of correct. David says on 29/Aug/10
Is Bono 159-161 cm ? I can't believe, he's a dwarf!! satchy says on 25/Aug/10
well, they both had some monstrous lifts on them, but bono still lookes shorter. judging by his body proportions I bet hes about 5'5'' Medvedev says on 24/Aug/10
Bono is 159-161 cm (5'3") short.
He is 4-5 cm shorter than Dmitry Medvedev (who is 163-164 cm short).
That's clearly visible on the recent (08/24/2010) photos:

anything over 5'5 is ridiculous. Danimal says on 8/Aug/10
I say he is 5'5"-5'5.5". Elijah says on 5/Aug/10
He is not 5 ft 6 and a half
We know Bono is 5'7" Soup says on 25/Jul/10
he's a few inches below average. I would say 5 feet, 6 inches FLAT. No more, no less. King Pickle says on 7/Jul/10
why is this man so insecure about his height. has an amazing voice, has been a part of one of the most succesfull bands in history, is rich, and is not a baskeball player. Bono your shoe lifts look ridiculous Anonymous says on 5/Jul/10
he's very short wears lifts and cuban heels on his boots
maximum 5 foot 5 Luke says on 30/Jun/10
This really is just wrong. I am from Dublin and have met him once. I am a strong 5ft 8" in flats and i had a good 3 inches on him and he had shoe advantage. I would say he is 5ft 5 barefoot. MAX. matt says on 13/Jun/10
if eddie vedder is 170, bono is at least 5 cm smaller!

wow i would have never thought bono would be the same height as i misteroz says on 8/Mar/10
When you see Bono , next to a SEan Penn and Penn looks 4 inches taller look at Bono's feet . He's wearing damn platforms (wedgies they call them in Europe) I had the fortune of spenidng a drinking night with U2 when noone knew who U2 was and Boino didnt have the bucks for the wedgies and he's slight shorter than me and I am 5'6" - The guys hovers arounf 5'4" to 5'5" . Should just do a Prince and wear Stilettos. Like really .. who cares Mr. Bono ? the music knows no height. Brad says on 6/Mar/10
5' 7" is a joke, just under 5' 6" is correct. Ms. Cashman probably got that figure from Bono. MD says on 6/Mar/10
TJ, very nice find. Though, I still suspect the height given was taken in shoes. Formal measurements for suits and clothing are often taken with shoes on because it doesn't really matter much as far as clothing is concerned. TJ says on 4/Mar/10
There's a rock n roll auction on now which includes a measurement book from U2's stylist Lola Cashman. She meticulously details all of the band's measurements, including collar, inside leg, hat size, etc etc. She has Bono at 5'7. See here:

What about Bono's shoe size? I guessing 8.0 or 9.0 Lemon says on 18/Feb/10
Judging by these pics, I would say Ali is around 5'2":

How tall do you guys think Bono's wife (Alison Hewson) is? Jay says on 14/Feb/10
He is LESS than 5ft 6! I saw him at a beach in France with Penelope Cruz and he was wearing stupid size 2 inch heels ON the beach. Lemon says on 12/Feb/10
I guess pretty much the same height. Maybe 1/2 inch taller.
Here is Bono with the band in the "Joshua Tree - Rattle and Hum Era" (he looks 2 1/2 inches shorter than 5'8" The Edge): Click Here Bonospal says on 9/Feb/10
How tall was Bono then during The Joshua Tree era? A Neighbor says on 29/Jan/10
I'm a former neighbor of his. I can tell you for sure that he is 5 feet 5 inches even. Bonofan says on 21/Jan/10
How tall was Bono back in his early 20's? aluutiqgirl says on 6/Dec/09
This poor, sweet man needs to stop being so insecure about his height and weight.That is if he really is insecure. I find a common ground with him because I have felt the same way about my height (5 foot flat) and weight (it yoyos from 110-120, however athletic I am) ever since from my childhood to now at age 20. I know he wants people to think he looks good all the time, but if he wore different clothes, i don't think that would really affect how attractive he is. and besides, he's led an inspiring and incredible life with his friends and family and has a vibrant and humorous personality. this would draw anyone to him regardless of how he looks. burby says on 24/Nov/09
5'5.5" MAX. Penn in really flat dress shoes owns him when he is in lifts. Needs better customs ASAP. Lemon says on 20/Nov/09
Bono (on his tiptoes?) with 5'11" Wyclef Jean: Click Here Random says on 17/Oct/09
I'll tell you right now he's 5'6, maybe 5'7 max. I met him in Toronto and stood face to face with him on a street as he came out of an interview with the rest of the band. I'm 5'8 and I could feel he was a couple cm shorter than me. Anon says on 5/Oct/09
What can I say? He got the swing, got the sway, got his straw in lemonade! Got his fingers in a lot of pies too, it's that insecurity that keeps him going. He's been with the same women since highschool and she's a fox so I don't think he cares, plus he's in a band with other relatively sized folk like Dorian Gray himself, Larry "I can't believe he's 47!" Mullen. Another U2er with a penchant for brothel creepers, but for the most part he's behind a drum kit.
Also U2's former stylist Lola Cashman (the one they took to court for theft) wrote in her autobiography about Bono's insecurity over his height and weight (he wears a lot of black). Anonymous says on 4/Oct/09
yeah, Sarkozy wears lifts, but Bono also wears ridiculous platform shoes. I think both Sarkozy and Bono are about 5'5. But Bono used to look taller when he was younger. He can't have shrunk, really. He's just 49. I think he just gained weight and therefore looks shorter. Anonymous says on 1/Oct/09
In 1997 I stood right between Bono and The Edge. I'm 5'4" Bono and Edge only slightly taller than me, but they smelt rich. Ace says on 1/Oct/09
Josh J. Sarkozy is somewhat infamous for his penchant to wear lifts ;) AS says on 25/Sep/09
I saw U2 play at Gillette Stadium in Boston over the weekend. I was about 15 feet in front of the Cat Walk. At one point Bono brought a little girl on stage and stood right in front of us with this girl. Even with his 2-3 inch lifted shoes, standing next to this 10-11 year old girl he only had about 5-6 inches on her. I would say he stands at about 5'5"
Definitely very short. AS says on 25/Sep/09

Bono is 5ft5. No taller than that. Look at the pictures posted here. He looks short next to 5ft8 Sean Penn in ridiculously big shoes, and next to 5ft9 Michael Stipe in 2-inch ladies' sandals, and the same height as 5ft5 Sarkozy. This guy is 5ft5 on the point. RisingForce says on 14/Aug/09
This picture that was posted below shows how truly short he is. Look at him with his ridiculous platform shoes next to 5'8" Sean Penn. Click Here
He still looks about 2 inches shorter than Penn and god only knows how much height he can get out of those ridiculous platform shoes. At 5'6.5" he should atleast be Penn's height with those ridiculous shoes he's wearing. I'd bet Bono is under 5'6", maybe closer to 5'5". FT says on 25/Jun/09
Bono does where some ridiculous shoes. It's a shame he's that height conscious. He's a successful guy who's good at what he does and has no trouble with the ladies.
Maybe he's been paying too much attention to *some* of the insecure height obsessed morons who post on this site. ;)
C'mon man. Lifts or a bit of a heel are one thing... platform sandals? That's a little much buddy. You're doin' your fellow short brothers dirty by being that neurotic. vitali says on 13/Jun/09
I met Bon-o in Prague. I walk over him like godzillas on japin tokyo. I was shock. I tall but he fit through my legs like volga river under bridge. I pat his head and burst into amazing grin. He not impressed by my performance, but i'm quite the cheek. My "mseam" for trousers is 101 cm but this is hypotnoose leg not vertical one. Bon-o is 91.5 cm maximum. He fit in my leg! I think that is 3 feet tall in american length stick. Dominic says on 7/Jun/09
Im am 5'8" and dont consider myself to be very short, Im taller than a lot of guys, though people are always shocked if it comes up in conversation, since I dont come across as only 5'8" just goes to show guyfrommars says on 28/May/09
Sarkozy is 5ft5 and infamous for wearing lifts. Even his wax figure at Madame Tussauds have lifts in it's shoes! Bono looks the same height or maybe a very little shorter. If we assume that he's wearing lifts too, then 5ft5, otherwise 5ft6 or 5ft7 max, but I'd rather stay at the 5ft5-5ft6 range. JD says on 26/Apr/09
i don't like the look of his giant boots, but he's sure made a name for himself. even if it is just one, stupid name. Dr. Steve Brule says on 24/Apr/09

"5'8 is short...anyon under that is a midget sorry short people...in 6th grade I was 5'8..."
Average height is around 5' 9. and incase you didn't know 5' 8 is one inch under average height, you hardly need to start wearing 70's style platform boots. Most people wouldn't even notice. You wouldn't call 5' 10 tall so why would you call 5' 8 short?? Mac says on 23/Apr/09
He would like to be 6"tall and handsome. Samuel says on 23/Apr/09

I agree, Jean E, Bono is a great activist and a great musician! U2 is my favourit band!
About his height: I agree with Phil, 5'5.5" at best.
Here is a recent pic of Bono, his wife and 5'9.75" Helena Christensen: Click Here Jean E says on 10/Apr/09
Bono's height has nothing to do with his gigantic stature as one of the best musicians who has ever lived. His talent is HUGE. His physical stature is average. To attend one of his concerts and see him close up, is to fall in love with a beautiful man. Tall men are overrated. They have long legs...big deal. Give me genius and talent anytime in a man. Bono should never be selfconscious about anything. He is the MAN! RisingForce says on 7/Apr/09
I've never seen sandals like the ones that Bono is wearing. He should have just worn boots, even on the beach. He's now won the title of most ridiculous footwear, just edging out Robert Downey Jr. Doug says on 6/Apr/09
No way is he 5'6.5! Look at the pictures with 5'5" Sarkozy. He would appear to be even shorter! Now given that Sarkozy is a likely lift wearer and reaches around 5'7" Bono barely reaches the 5'6" even in boots! I genuinely believe he is 5'5 as he appeared a little shorter than the Brazilian president Silva who is supposed to be 5'5"?. Phil says on 23/Mar/09
Either 5'5" or 5'5.5". No way he's taller than that. |
