andy lau and tony leung are the equivalent of brad pitt and george clooney about height: andy lau is not a quarter of inch taller than tony leung in fact, but he is a lift lover and in recent years he always looks 1.5-2 inches taller minimum than tony who doesnt use those tricks. i think mainland and hk actors are listed at the heights they look on screen: chow yun fat looks 6'2 on screen, but he is 5'11 barefoot and he says it several times. he used lifts to be near 190 to play Confucius who is supposed to be 6'4 tall. its not rare for those actors to be listed 2-4 inches taller than their real heights. a real 6'1+ guy would look a giant among them. dont forget that the average height of chinese people is around 5'7 and probably less for hk people. its simply ridiculous th

my dad met andy in person with carina lau ka ling and tony leung like 15 years ago and told us andy is about his height, my dad is only 171 cm. he also said andy lau is a very playful person, always laughing and making jokes. anyway, tony leung is even shorter than andy. mission impossible says on 27/Jan/10
to ialsodunagreewifpepe below, the picture is slanted down at a bad angle. In every movie they're in, Andy Lau got a good inch on Stephen Chow. Finding out Andy Lau's height is like a mission impossible. I'm thinking he's somewhere in between 169/170 - 174 cm, around 5'7-5'8.5 ialsodunagreewifpepe says on 25/Jan/10
Huh? You got to be kidding! I'm taller than Andy Lau? Can someone tell me how tall is Andy Lau? I believe Stephen Chow is a bit taller than Andy Lau!!! Here's the link I'm not sure: Click Here idunagreewithpipi says on 17/Jan/10
hi pipi, i might have to disagree with some of the stars' heights you listed. listing takeshi kaneshiro at 5'8.5 is simply a joke. the man can easily tower over every other asian actors around him. He always looked at least 5'11-6'0 feet to me. and do you also realize how tall Chow Yun Fat stands against Hollywood actors? pipi says on 16/Jan/10
all the asian stars are overestimated on this site
in fact:
chow yun fat 5'11---180
takeshi kaneshiro 5'8.5---174
andy lau 5'6---168
tony leung chiu wai 5'5.5---167
jet li 5'4---164-165 Anonymous says on 15/Jan/10
Sometimes, you think that by looking at the person standing next to you, you know whether they're taller or shorter. But most of the time, you get it wrong. This is because of a lot of factors, such as height of shoes, standing postures, etc. The same thing happens in pictures. In a picture, especially a picture where only the upper half the body is shown, you cannot tell whether I am taller or shorter than the person beside me, because I could be standing on my tiptoes, or bending my knees. Even if it's a full body shot, again, there are factors like the height of my shoes, my standing posture, uneven floor, etc. You think you can see things clearly in a picture, but you'd be surprise to find out that a lot of things you see in pictures are misjudged.

sorry, i forgot to post the link
leon lai on is on the right of andy lau in the picture is clearly more than 3 inches taller. so either leon lai lied about being 5'11 or andy lau is actually shorter than 5'8.5 linke says on 2/Dec/09

Takashi Sorimachi(181cm)is much taller than Andy lau in fulltime killer.Andy is a little taller than Tony Leung ,who is about 167/168cm. 170cm for lau is perfect Leung says on 24/Jul/09
Rob’s listing of 174cm for Andy Lau is accurate. Felix says on 22/Jul/09
I agree with Tomas, many friends met him before, said he is around 167-169! His shoes is 1 inches outside, and 2 inches inside lift. So his offical height is 167+7=174cm Tomas says on 20/Jul/09
I heard he is actually around the 5 ft 5 to 5 ft 7 area and wears lifts. Felix says on 15/Jul/09
I have said many times Gu Lian Le(Louis koo) is 177 with a less than 1 cm prisoner slipper. Raymond Lam is the same with Gu. Andy Lau is 3 inches shorter than Gu! Tomtom says on 14/Jul/09
I met Louis Koo in Vietnam during his performance. I'm 175 and he's barely taller than me. If Gary insist he's 180cm then I have nothing to say. Michael Miu is listed 179-180cm somewhere, and in "Dicey Business" Bosco Wong is short than Michael in any scene they have together. Also, in "Drive of Love" Raymond Lam is way shorter than Michael in any scene they have together. So, do the math Gary. Unless you say Michael Miu is 183cm, that would be fun, ha ha ha Gary says on 11/Jul/09
There are legit HK actors that are in the 180 cm, eg. Bosco Wong or Raymond Lam (Ron Ng always looks a bit shorter, maybe its the wide pants), as well as some of the newer upcoming "Siu Sangs". Fine, maybe one or two of them would be 177 or 178, but they are undeniably in that range. Just because we're Asian doesn't mean we HAVE to be shorter than Brad Pitt. Tom Cruise for that matter has been appearing in lifts all the time, but sometimes its obvious that his legs look a bit too short to be portrayed as 5'10" (~178) in some movies, and its not hard to tell either.
Back on discussion, I do agree with most of yoyo's data; you have guys like Tony Leung, Andy Lau sitting at the bottom half of the 17x cm range, and guys like Louis Koo, Daniel Wu around 180 cm if not more, because overall they do appear tall. More of the famous stars from the 90's generation would have to lie about their height a bit, since while 170 is standard for the HK adult, it is not anywhere near model standards, so maybe a slight boost. Felix says on 28/Jun/09
Frankly, I do not believe Fong Chung Sun is 182, many friends who met him said he is 178 max Anonymous says on 25/Jun/09
Dont know if you guys know this actor, but his name is Alex Fong Chung Sun. He is 182cm and that is a guaranteed truth. But other actors/actresses eh.... I agree with Yoyo that most of them are shorter than what they claim to be. Tomtom says on 9/Jun/09
Can some body go home take a tape measure and pull it out until it says 5'10 (178cm) or 5'11(180cm) and put the tape against the wall, use your sense and try to realize how tall it is. I've read a lot of threads in this forum and most of them really crack me up when I see Nicholas is 175cm, Louis Koo is 181cm. And better yet, all Hong Kong TVB's actors are listed 180cm. I mean, come on, we're Asian and you think Ron Ng or Raymond Lam is as tall as Brad Pitt (180cm). Dream on people. Felix says on 22/May/09
Gu Tian Le(Louis Koo) is definite 176-177cm, he was in prison before, with a less than 1cm prisoner slipper, he is 177! supdude says on 19/May/09
to yoyo. Hey, thanks for the datas. However, Louis Koo always seems above 180 cm to me. I've been watching him since... forever. He's also taller than a lot of other people so i think it should be pretty accurate that he is around 5'11 :P. Felix says on 16/May/09
I agree with yoyo, I met some of them, and many of my friend met them in person because of their job. Onlt thing I want to tell. Guan Xi Chen is 172cm,Jet Li 164.5cm yoyo says on 4/May/09
yah BS whatever.. its from asia idol web page i found. Leung, frankly you think does most asian actor looks taller than western actor you seen? Leung says on 30/Apr/09

Might be 95% accurate from what i discover it. Somebody says on 19/Apr/09
He is probably 170cm at most. My brother saw him at the airport and claims Andy is the same height as him. My brother is only 168cm so he was really really surprised. I didn't believe him at first but I have been to HK lots of times and everytime I'm there, I tower over everyone. I'm 170cm. Felix says on 31/Mar/09
Aaron Kwok(Guo Fu Cheng) is about 165-167cm, for sure. he has 3 inches shoes (2 inches lift)! Because he is shorter than 168cm's Wu Ma. You can use google to search his comment about Guo's height! Pat says on 25/Mar/09
hey so how tall is Aaron Kwok for sure? Felix says on 15/Feb/09
I am the worst at height estimates because I can not see Lau is 5 cm taller than my friend! Click Here My friend height is accurrate! he is 169.6cm. It is barefoot height, no shoes, no lift! Anybody except Leung can see he is almost the same height with Lau, therefore either my friend grows 5cm after 24 or Lau is about 169cm! Leung says on 12/Feb/09
Felix,
Nobody here believes your nonsense because you are the worst at height estimates. Felix says on 11/Feb/09
Normally Lau's shoes is 1 inches, and lift is about 1-2 inches depends on who he will stand with, it is what my friend told me! Can you explain why in early 90's Lau is so short? Because at that time there is no lift shoes!!!
If somebody have some pics that you or your friend with Lau, please post it. "Inner Lift Lau" always cheats, it is no doubt! Anonymous says on 8/Feb/09
felix all the pics you have posted, show no signs of footwear or legs for that matter, and therefore someone can be standing on something (though i doubt it)

DO not forget his nickname in Mainland china, "Inner Lift Lau", In some video, after wearing the lift, Lau is as same as Li Ming. How do you explain that? Can you deny he is 3-4 inches shorter than Li Ming, Li is only 176-178. some pics I post is from early 90s, at that time there is no lift shoes.
I do not want to post my friend pics before, you push me! all are mobile phone taken pics

Andy Lau and Kelly Chen singing together in the year of 2000. Andy looks a few inches taller than her (and you claim her to be 170cms tall). Felix says on 4/Dec/08
Here is a picture Andy Lau with Jet Li(164.5cm) and Jin Cheng Wu(Takeshi Kaneshiro). Andy Lau and Li did not wear lift. Jin's official height is 178cm, although he accepted he was only 176. I assume his height is 178cm, Lau is at least 3-4 inches shorter than him, therefore Lau is around 168cm, Max 170. The guy who siad I am wrong, what do you think. Because Lau always wear lift, so he looks not short!

By the way, When I was in HK, a lot of people said I was 6 feet, but I am only 178cm. I think everybody there exaggrates their height, so 5,10 in their opinion is 6 feet! Felix says on 3/Dec/08
Somebody does not belive me, I post more image.
Hongkong stars real height equals their claim height minus 3-7cm. Hongkong BIG Four, Andy Lau 174(168-170), Li Ming 182 (176-178), Guo Fu Cheng 171(165-166), Zhang Xue You 175(170-172).
Andy Lau is at least 3-4inches shorter than max 178cm's Li Ming, Click Here Click Here

Fake 182cm Li Ming with Real 183cm Hu Bing who from mainland. Click Here
So if anybody insist Andy Lau is 174, I have nothing to say.
Not only Hongkong stars, all the people in South exaggrate their height because they are short. When I went to Hongkong, I(178cm) was a little taller(1-2cm) than a Hongkongnese who claims himself 6 feet. felix says on 22/Nov/08
Kelly Chen (Chen Hui Lin) is not 173, he is only about 170! her height just fit s others fake height. If Lau is 174 I will eat my hat! Liang Yong Qi is not 176, she is shorter than her 174's ex boyfriend Zheng Yi Jiang. Lau's nickname is China main land is Inner lift Liu! therefore you will know why sometimes he is not short! He is less than 170 now, I am very sure! Most Hongkong stars exaggerate their height, such as Li Ming 182cm(178), Guo Fu Cheng 170cm(166), Stephen Chow(Zhou Xing Chi) 174cm(166-167), Zhang Bai Zhi 165cm(158), Chen Guan Xi 178cm(172), Wu Yan Zu 186cm (183) Felix Incorrect Again says on 18/Nov/08
Dude, Andy Lau is 174 cm AT LEAST okay? The dude has starred in many movies alongside some really tall actresses (Kelly Chen (about 173cm tall) Gigi Leung (176 cm tall) and he has never appeared short in any of those films. He might have shrunk a little now since he is older, but I dun think its a lot. Young Andy = 174cm Old Andy (Now) = 172cm Felix says on 24/Oct/08
My friend worked with Lau in Beijing before, he said he is suprised Lau is shorter than him. My friend claims he is 172cm, but I guess he is only 170cm. Anonymous says on 29/Aug/08
Click Here just pass forward to 3 minutes 11 seconds. this is an old movie of Andy lau and tony leung standing next to each other with flat shoes, and they were about the same height or tony was even a lil taller. End of discussion. Leung says on 27/Aug/08
174cm is right. Andy Lau has good body proportions and therefore can give the appearance of being taller in his movies.
Someone like Jackie Chan is the exact opposite, he is also 174cm but due to his stocky body and head size he is generally regarded as a short fellow. 5'10" Bobby says on 26/Aug/08
174cm seems a little short. He seems much taller than Aaron Kwok who is listed as 172cm and always wears lifts. In his film, Yesterday Once More, his character is implied as being 5'10" tall. grandy says on 30/Jul/08
he would be 167-170, same with Tony Leung, celebrities aren't God AA says on 17/Jul/08
My cousin used to work as an air hostess and saw him up close on one of her flights. She's 172cm and said he "looked short", around my height (which was around 168 at the time - in 1999 approx.). Most Asian celebrities embellish their heights on so-called "official" websites + wear lifts all the time when out in public. My sister went out with a minor celebrity who "officially" listed himself as 170cm in all his promotional material but he told her he was really only 164cm - and said everyone does it. DejaVu says on 7/Feb/08
He is only 171.5 cm and I am dead sure. Eggz says on 17/Dec/07
my parents went to his concert, and they told me that he is around the 170cm range Law says on 5/Dec/07
I trust him he is quite tall,lau was almost 173-174 cm tall because I saw him before he is more taller than me about 2-3cm,I'm 171.5cm .he is not to short because he also taller than many actor and actress.so don't argue about his height,I trust him he didn't lie at all. vtlee says on 10/Jun/07
he is around 5'7 i have worked with him in hk. trueheight says on 15/Mar/07
I doubt this - his frame is similar to Tom Cruise - both with slight shoulders. My guess: 5'7.5 or 172cm is much more accurate kene6ft3 says on 16/Sep/06
im a sinagapore here.. i ever take photo with him n he apear like only 172cm.. ppp says on 7/Aug/06
I think he admitted that he is 171.5 cm. But sometimes when I read the paper and see his picture with other stars, the shoes he wears make him look like 180 cm......... Jack says on 25/Jul/06
Hes closer to 5'7 actually. Im 5'8 and when I met him, he was a tad shorter than me. InTheZone says on 4/Mar/06
In a book published in Taiwan, featuring an interview with him, his height was listed as 172 CM. But that was in 1993. |
