The fact that he's claimed 5'7 in his book and you still can't believe it makes you stupider than you are. he never was 5'10.5" peak. thats a silly myth. you don't have a clue on what you are talking about, bud. there was clearly 5 inches between him and tucker in RUSH HOUR: start watching at 2:23 seconds.
To be stupider than you? I think it's really impossible to accomplish this goal...
Are you also saying that Chris Tucker is only 6'0"?
Man go and close yourself in a psychiatric centre...you are an "idiot".
ka says on 21/Mar/10
maybe chan is closer to 5'8, as Tucker is close to 6'1? I've seen jackie's old movies, and he looked a lot taller then. Anyway Arnold still is 6'0.5-6'1 these days. just doesn't look slender now. and don't say lifts unless there's solid tons of proofs. Ben says on 21/Mar/10

"it makes you stupider than you are"?!?!?! wtf is that supposed to mean? how is that even possible? how can somebody be stupider than they are? i mean someone can SEEM stupider than they are, and they can BE stupider than another person but to actually BE 'stupider than you are'.....that makes zero sense. as does Chan at 5'7" Anonymous says on 20/Mar/10

give me a break man. just how do you consider that arnold obama picture good to judge height? arnold is in front of the camera.
You are the crazy one, Chan claimed 5'10.5 and I think he was that height at his peak. We have to consider that he had a lot of injuries on his body over years.
Chan is absolutely at least 5'8.5 (he just reach Tucker's eyes in Rush Hour, and Tucker is almost 6'1). And Schwarzenegger is at least 6'0.5, there is a photo with Jackie Chan and even if Chan is 5'7, at least 6 inches of difference between them are visible. So just shut up.

While Rex's pictures don't convince me that Arnold is still a full 6'1" or even a weak one (He's probably more 6'1/2" nowadays), I still don't understand how anyone can look at those pictures and put him in the 5'11" range. I mean, maybe if there was a good amount of evidence that he looks the height he does in those photos because of lifts (And by "evidence", I mean something other than "He can afford lifts" or "He definitely wears lifts to pull off the action-hero persona"). Seriously, a man without any serious posture issues or illnesses losing 2+ inches by sixty, even a body builder, would be extremely rare.
It seems like the main argument for Arnold being under 6' nowadays is that he doesn't have the "long, tall look" anymore. Yes, Arnold can appear much shorter now than in his heyday because he is out of shape, but you shouldn't use that to guage his height. If Arnold looks above 6'0" next to other celebrities whose heights we know in most pics today, than he probably is. ACG says on 19/Mar/10
Jackie has claimed 5'10.5" most recently. I doubt he ever claimed 5'7". If it really says that in his autobiography, it must be shoddy translation/measurement conversions to blame. Ali says on 19/Mar/10

I met Arnold in Oregon during the filming of Kindergarten Cop. I am between 6 ft. and 6 ft. 1 inch depending on how my posture is that day. Arnold may have been a touch taller then me but not much. So I would say that his listed height here is correct. joseph says on 16/Mar/10
From someone who knows a thing or two about height. Measure yourself in the morning and then do the same in the afternoon, you will notice a difference anywhere between 1-3 inches of height. This is normal, because gravity compresses our spine whick makes us shorter.
Everyone is talking about a few inches of difference in here, probably everyone is right becuase height vary! josh says on 9/Mar/10

Here we have Arnold with Don Cheadle and George Clooney.
Click Here
It's a low angle shot looking up and Clooney is in front, yet Arnold still looks obviously taller there regardless. Clooney's listed here at 5'10 1/2" so any idea of Arnold being 5'11" today is pure bullsh*t. Next we have Cheadle who is listed here at 5'8 1/4" being owned by Arnold by a good 5 inches. They are on equal stage there and in similar pose. Given that and the fact that Clooney is in front with a low angle shot, Arnold does look a good 6'1" there.
Here's another. Arnold is even looking down to Clooney. How could anyone think Arnold was just 5'11" today? Clooney in front = Arnold still looking taller.
Click Here
Another low angle shot of Arnold and Cheadle where Cheadle is definitely favored by both being closer to the camera and a low angle shot.
Click Here
Arnold isn't even standing straight and yet makes 5'8 1/4" Cheadle look like a child. He looked every bit near 6'1" at this event.
It is obvious from this that Arnold is clearly taller than the both of them but these pictures are not good at all for judging height. Cheadle is much further away from the camera than Arnold in the first shot. Second shot Clooney is slouching and we don't know if he is bending his knees to reach the mic but yeah Arnold looks to be hitting at least 6 ft there.
You're right, these are not the BEST photos for comparison. But it is up for interpretation whether Cheadle is standing "much further back" in that photo.
Click Here
It looks more like Clooney is in front on the podium, a second row including Cheadle and Arnold with that lady, and another row of people behind them. I think it looks like Arnold is closer because he is far bigger in all respects. Brad says on 6/Mar/10

I think they're saying that if he's lost height, due to how egotistical he is he would wear lifts to make up for it, whether he does or not who knows. I will say my dad was 6'1.5" when measured for the Army and when he hit 70 he was only a hair over six feet, he did have a back surgery but it is conceivable the Schwarz has shrunk some and in some photos appears shorter raising the question of lifts today. I have seen photos in his younger days barefoot and he does look tall compared to bodybuilers with him, I think it would be safe to say he was 6'1" + a hair in his prime. Lynn says on 3/Mar/10

I stumbled across this site and thread. The topic isn't interesting but the debate is. As with many people Arnold prob was 6-1.25 to 6-1.5 and rounded up. Muscledom was in its mainstream infancy and huge muscles on his particular frame might've made him look a little bigger. He had a lanky frame with big muscles and that is different than a more massive frame sometimes making the person actually look shorter. But the scientific fact is that steroid use/abuse causes a greater shrinkage in bone height than what is average in the older years of life (i.e. both Arnold AND Lou). So now he may use lifts to offset this and may cause an inconsistency in todays comparisons. He was often photographed barefooted or wearing boatshoes in his earlier days so he may be more selfconcious now but was prob not so much back then, even tho he has selfadmitted to being egotistical and uber competitive his whole life. So its probable he may have actually shrunk from a good 6-1.5 to actually a weak 6 foot now or even a sub 6' height. So everybody might be a little right?!!

He was 5'11.5" when he started (I believe he was 15 years old then).
6' a year later
In 1965 and 1966 they claim he was 6'1.
Notice that he only grew 1.5 inches after 15 maybe he started using steroids then.
and yes he did use steroids but it doesn't matter because he is the best of all time.
Notice how Lou Ferrigno started using steroids in his mid teens when he was only 5'9", yet, he grew to over 6'4"? 177cmmm says on 1/Mar/10

Arnold looks much tall in Danimal's video, it's incontestable this, from any perspective you look at it.
it 'also true that today, Arnold seems shorter, but perhaps, besides the fact that he has shrunk a bit, could also be due to the fact that he is fatter of then, so gives the feeling of being shorter.
But it is partly due to this impression, for me.
But of course, for the usual TROLLS, Sergio Oliva is not 5'9"-5'10", but 5'8". Lee Haney is not 5'11", but 5'9"-5'10". Frank Zane is not 5'9", but 5'8". Dorian Yates is not 5'10", but 5'8.5" and so on.

Just had to chime in here. I just happened across this thread. Looks like some of the main debaters have given up. Knowing that I am a complete stranger to the regulars here, I will post anyways:
In 1993, I met Arnold in his Oak Productions office in Santa Monica. Most of the time I was there, he was not, but I did talk to him for 3-4 minutes and shake hands with him. At the time I was a solid 5'11". Arnold was EASILY 1 1/2" taller than me, but probably more like 2", which would make him 6'1" in 1993.
All this jabber about him "pushing 5'11" or 5'10" is complete bullsh**! Lucio says on 25/Feb/10
Beautiful photos those of Arnold, Guy. Are also artistic photos.
Even without being Arnold fans, one can not fail to notice the proportions, line, symmetry, which in today's bodybuilders are things that are missing entirely.
They are just simply an agglomerated of muscle mass defined to spasm, but without any form.
That's why Arnold is unsurpassed.

Let's compare 6'1 1/2" Arnold at probably around 240 pounds

to 6'1" Mariusz Pudzianowski at around 290 pounds

Or Arnold again

and 6'1" Paul Dillet who competed at 285 pounds in a similar pose

It's obvious the naysayers who claim Arnold had to have weighed 280-290 pounds with his build and height are just plain wrong. It's obvious that men of around his height that do weigh that much appear much more massive and in most cases have much different builds. derek d says on 24/Feb/10

R.I.P METRIC!
Good to see Metric leave. It was about time this board will get a break from insults, humiliation and condescending remarks over a stupid height discussion of a celebrity.
I go to many other boards as well where just about everyone disputes the heights of celebrities, but I have never seen that much hostility and anger exhibited by a member that Metric has displayed.
A true e-thug, bully and a keyboard Viking warrior. Good riddance! Shaun says on 23/Feb/10
Agree with Mike I can see 5'11.5" at lowest today. I definately think though he passes the 6' mark barefoot at some point in the day. Shaun says on 23/Feb/10
I can't believe all this angst and hatred exhibited by Metric over little more than an inch. Nobody is claiming Arnie was 6'4" or anything. It is just fact he was measured a little over 6'1" in his prime and has today lost a bit of height. We claim 6'1.5", 6'0"-6'0.5" now you claim 6' and 5'11" now. 1-1.5 is really not a big deal....

Metric says on 21/Feb/10
I donīt think I will be posting much on here anymore. I really feel the debate about Arnolds height is over. He was max 6-0 prime and today is well BELOW this number! The only real question left is how low will Arn go in the years to come?? It will be interesting to watch if he will drop to 5-10 or maybe even go as low as 5-9 before his 70th?? Anything is possible with this steroid-dissolving fr**k.
Congrats to Lynn & Co. - not least Ali - who always stood steadfast with me in the battle against the mad fanboys. We have endured quite alot of verbal abuse and ridicule throughout the years in our resolve not to throw ourselves and our convictions at the feet of the "Arnold-is-6-4" crowd. Lynn + Ali (and the rest) you are all heroes in my eyes.
I will probably still come here from time to time and drop a single acidic line when the fanboys gets too carried away in their prepubescent rants about this austrian world-savior-7-0-superduper-excellent-strongman-boss, Arnie! Lol. But other than that my work here is really done!
My closing remark will be two numbers. Arn prime and arn present.
6-0 & 5-11.
Take care yīall.

Closing remarks from a very small man. He summed all his insecurities up perfectly in this final post. Metric is the guy who absolutely hates the other guy who gets the big raise after dedicated dutiful work. He hates the captain of the football team who dates the prettiest girl in school. He hates the guy who always seems to come up with the funny humorous things to say that everyone thinks are so witty. He hates the guy who's prominent position in the community brings respect and admiration. He hates the guy who finds success in life through hard work. He hates the guy with the well manicured lawn, boat, and nice car. I could go on and on, but essentially it illustrates that Metric is just a very shallow insecure man who projects his own frustrated limitations on others. He sits at his keyboard scheming his fantasy knife daggers at the one man that makes him feel the most insecure. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Metric has had enough because no one here is giving him the attention he craves. You see in most cases very insecure personality types are very needy. In extreme cases they are disruptive with their demands, as a child always stopping class with outbursts and attention getting devices. The problem with Metric is that he always had a lot to say but with absolutely nothing.
Until an Arnold is a loser web-site would be created, Metric would vent his bizarre ramblings on a height forum. I highly doubt this animosity against Arnold is focused entirely around a supposed height conspiracy. That was just one facet of a whole ball of hate for the man.
A typical troll word that is thrown around predictably is fanboy. No one here displays any emotional attachment to Arnold more than Metric has. While myself and others display photos for comparison and discussion in our posts, Metric composes posts concerning his opinion of how evil of a person Arnold is. But this guy is too stupid to realize how he appears to everyone.
Metric gives passing congrats to his allies Lynn and Ali. You could a take a post from either of those two from anytime the last two years and there would be no difference to now. It's always the same fluff. They both have their beliefs but can never prove it, so both just chime in every few weeks with the same old empty mantra. These are Metric's allies. Pretty weak army.
Does he really think he's declared victory and his work is done here? Metric somehow has always thought if he simply says something, everyone will listen. Maybe he's not used to real thinking human company. Debates don't work that way! Metric won't be posting anymore because he realizes he can't function above this. All the "fanboys" plaster this page with photos and other evidence. Good legit balanced photos, and tons of them. Metrics contribution in that vein has been scant to nil. Only photos that are somehow flawed, and very obviously, are promoted by Metric and the rest of his allies. That tells you something about someone's credibility. Metric was way over his head and has been taking a solid beating for a while, but especially lately. You can tell because of the personal insults and dirty profanity coming from this Bennett wannabe's mouth. This wimp even claims he's been abused and ridiculed. He's just a manipulative ***hole who runs and cries to Rob to get an angle. I'm sure we'll be seeing you back here in a week as you can't be out of the spotlight that long.
We all know your fantasy about Arnold shrinking down to your eye level. This fantasy of Arnold shrinking even further to 5-10 and even 5-9 is an intriguing power reversal fantasy. I don't know what a psychologist would say about that. I don't want to know. I do know they would probably diagnose you as just plain nuts.
My closing remark will be two numbers. Arn prime and arn present.
6'1.5" & 6'-6'1".
By the way. I like how you threw one last Strawman in there. Now every post of yours has one. Way to go! (See if you can find where it is!)
Good riddance.

Well, Metric, I must say, it's too bad you're leaving. You did an excellent job as court jester on this page.
Anyway, I haven't seen anyone comment that Arnold was 6'4" in the months I've been on this page. Maybe this "crowd" only exists in Metric's head? I think the idea that he shifts the debate on this page with "a single acidic line" also only exists up there, too.
But, congrats, Metric, for making what's basically a surrender sound like a victory. Arguing about a celebrity's height over the internet is definately what makes you a "hero". You're completely normal for saying that.
Why do I have a feeling that this guy is already fully prepared to troll the Arnold page on the weight site . . . Lucio says on 22/Feb/10
Yes Metric, I agree with you. The debate is over.
Except for one fact: you haven't demonstrate nothing. Lol.
It's strange that to say it is really you, that are you doing everything to keep it open, but Oh well...
I remind you, that on other occasions you said that the debate was closed and that you would no longer written here .... Then we all saw how it turned out.
You, Lynn, and Ali, with your paper ass of photos, in plus deformed, took it bad, with bad angles and furthermore obscured and blur, you've proven the "NOTHING" in its most absolute sense.
It takes a lot of courage to say that "you have demonstrated this." Lol.
You're right Metric, you can just come here with your "acids" comments, because not having nothing, is the only thing left to you. (Very little thing i say ...).
Anyway, glad you ... Everyone happy!
I just wanted to post this clip extrapolated from the film "Running Men" where you see Arnold next to Kotto.
I leave to others to make oneself an idea, though I can already see the statements of Metric and Lynn: "Great video, Lucio! Arnold looks exactly 6 feet tall ...!!" Lol.

I think Robb has him right on, he is barely 6 feet these days
Arnold was never 6'2", IMHO. Though still a giant in his own time. Mike says on 19/Feb/10
The worst Arnold could be today is 5'11.5 and the best he is today is 6'1 ish, he was like just an inch taller then Harrison Ford whose around 5'11.5/6feet currently, Arnold does look small compared to some 6'5 and taller guys but hes got those 5'10 5'11 guys beat all the time, peak 6'1- weak 6'2... current 5'11.5 to weak 6'1 prolly 6 even Brian says on 18/Feb/10
Hunke, note that I said Arnold was 187cm at his peak. He was in his mid-forties by the time he appeared with 6'2" Bush Sr. Of course he could have been down to a flat 6'1" by then. And are you serious about the Cameron pics from the Avatar premiere? That was from a couple of months ago. Of course Arnold was nowhere near 187cm by then.
And if you're wondering why a 187cm peak Arnold would be down near the 6 foot mark today, consider that the guy was a bodybuilder. All the weights he lifted might have gradually compressed his bones. Furthermore, his frame had well over 200 pounds to support for all of his adult life. Of course he'd get weighed down more than the average man over time. Look at fellow bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, Rob has him down as having lost 1.5 inches before his 60th birthday. It's very possible to lose over 2 cm by your 60s. But I think that Arnold is more like a solid 184cm now anyway, as much as 6'0.5". An ample supply of Reinfeldt/Obama pics posted earlier on this site showed Reinfeldt between 6'1" and 6'2", and Arnold looked only an inch shorter than him. And if you want to talk Obama, there were also some Arnold/Obama pics where Arnold only looks no more than 3cm shorter than him, but probably more like 2cm. And finally, what are you saying about him looking the same height as Blair? The Blair photos that have been posted on this site several times show Arnie as being a good cm taller (I'm too lazy to dig these pictures up myself, but they've been posted here several times before).
Anyway, you can tell from Basille's Email that he cares DEEPLY about accurate measurements, so I doubt that he would just say, "Oh whatever, I don't need to measure you barefoot" (Not to mention that he explicitly mentions that he remembers measuring Arnold barefoot). And I'm tired of hearing this whole "lifts" arguement. In none of the full body shots where Arnold looks 6'1.5"-6'1.75" from his prime or 6'0.25"-6'0.5" today does he look to have any noticeable footwear advantage against whoever he is standing next to, whereas when you have a known lift-wearer like Sly Stallone, it is as obtrusive as can be how much he is being boosted. Arnold also obviously has no problem with being caught barefoot (And remember that all of the barefoot pics from his bodybuilding heyday such as those with Park, Draper, Ferrigno, Thorsen, etc. back up a 187cm Arnie). I don't mind people arguing that Arnold looks a certain height thanks to some magic shoes, but please, just back it up with something other than, "He's a celebrity, so he must." Jonathan says on 18/Feb/10
Anyone wants to see how a 6'1" 290 pounds guy looks like should look at Polish 5 times strongest man in the world Marius Pudzianowski who has a 59 inches chest and weighs 290 lbs in competition form. The guy is a huge tree of pure muscle complete with a 6 pack and ripped to the bones even at 290 pounds. It is not all about muscle strength, he has to run in competition with 800 pounds in his arms and do laps as fast as he can.
Anyone arguing Arnold in his most massive size at 6'1.5" should have been 280 pounds is full of sh*t!!!! Arnold does not even come close at 260 pounds to how massive and huge Marius is at 290 pounds at approximately the same height. Arnold was simply never that big to even pull off a 280 pounds guy and he never claimed to have ever been over 260 pounds.
280 pounds of pure muscle is A LOT of size for 6'1" - 6'1.5". Arnold never had the legs for it nor the muscle density nor the bone thickness for it. Cj says on 18/Feb/10

Brian: very weird that an supposed 187 cm guy in 1991 looks 3-4 cm shorter then bush sr at 6.2, very weird that 187 cm arnold look 4-5 cm shorter then cameron in avatar pics. Even weirder arnie looses 4 cm in height when average height loss is 1-2 cm. Arnold is for sure 183 cm today like Rob pegged him.
I found a new pic with reinfeldt and obama too, perfect front shot of them and they look the same height, fredrik reinfeldt is maybe 1 cm shorter. Reinfeldt looked 3 cm taller then arnold.
Arnie is 3-4 cm taller then bush and same height as Blair. Arnold is 100 % exactly 183 cm today, 6 feet. I bet money on that Arnie was 185 cm when he was young and 184-185 cm in the 80s, and vince basile measured him in sandals or shoes but forgot that since it was a long time ago.
In terminator and a few pics where he do look 6.2, like with christpher reeve and such, he used some big shoes like my father use, he is 5.11 and use some winterboots that make him look a bit taller.
-------------------
Hunke, do you read right Vince Basille e-mail?
It said that Arnold was in barefeet when he was measured, so doesn't in sandal or shoes.
Yet: Arnie doesn't the same height of Bair, he is a 2-3 cm taller than Blair in the famous photos posted here several time (look at my post of 28/Jan/10).
One more thing: i think it highly unlikely that an individual at 40 years may loose 1 cm in height. It 'very difficult at 50 years, let alone at 40!
Ask also to any doctor that it will answer so. Heightcritique says on 18/Feb/10
If Basille measured Arnold at 6'1.5" during the evening that means that Arnold's height is around 6'2" or as he claimed 6'.75" before gravity's pull on his bone structure all day.
Every day, from the time you step out of bed, until the time you go back in, the gravity of the earth is pulling you downwards at a rate of 9.8 metres per second. Because of this, you effectively 'shrink' during the day, and when you go to sleep, you back to normal, because gravity isn't "pushing" you down! So when you wake up, you'll be your "true" height. Man can loose up to an inch or more due to spine compression by gravity's force. The soft cartlidge in between limbs will compres during the day due to the weight of your body parts once you lie down at night your cartlidge will expand making you taller first thing in the morning than you were the night before. GUY says on 18/Feb/10
The idea to dismiss Vince Basille's measurement of Arnold because he was either bribed, is lying, or just plain erring is just stupid. In court, lots of eyewitnesses or experts in certain fields are used successfully in law. If they pass cross examination and not seen as incompetent, they can provide strong evidence. There is nothing about Vince Basille that should suggest he's either incompetent or deceitful.
On top of things is the idea that he has no real reason to lie as he was rather indifferent to Arnold and was not one of his "buddies". Arnold placed him last in a competition and Vince also thought Arnold was arrogant and obnoxious and was largely indifferent to him. If anything if Arnold was really in fact only 5'10" or 6' max, what better way to give it back to him by merely telling the truth and exposing this conspiracy.
What people forget is that this is just one of many pieces of evidence to support that Arnold was 6'1 1/2" prime. If Arnold always looked 5'10" and never more than 6', this lone account of Arnold being measured 6'1 1/2" once might seem far fetched. But that is not the case. Metric, Ali, Lynn etc always ignore the infinitely more substantial photographic and film evidence of Arnold looking over 6'. They ignore the improper criteria that gives them what they want in their photos of choice. Ali believes that ONE photo where he thinks Arnold is standing on his toes will cancel out the thousands of others that say otherwise. That's the only photo he ever speaks of. It's his holy grail. But it's in fact just the way his feet are angled on the floor that gives the illusion. So Ali's star photo is very unconventional as we can see Arnold looks close to 6'2" in it, but his tip-toe theory is very ambiguous. In order for it to be valid you have either believe his assertion or not. It's not straight up and incontestable. He looks 6'2" but....
In reality Vince's account corresponds with thousands of photographs, his many films, and other peoples separate eye witness accounts. It is much more credible to believe Vince is telling the truth than it is to assume he is wrong for whatever reason. For starters his testimony lines up with thousands of photos (many barefoot) that all confirm his measurement. There is unity there in Vince's account and photographic evidence. Even looking above, Arnold is taller than Almost 6ft 1 Jonathan,2002. Jonathan is even favored there as it's not a high angle shot and he is in front. Arnold also looks about the same height as 6ft 1 and 3/8th Jim, 1988. Jim has very big hair which makes him look much taller than he is. His eye level looks maximum 1/2 inch above Arnold but if he wasn't riding up Arnold's side and pressing his weight on him, they would be about equal height. Both photos support Vince's measurement and don't deviate from it.
Given what we know about Vince, it should be much more demanding of proof and reason for those who assume he was lying. The reason why Metric, Lynn, Ali etc claim Vince is lying is entirely due to the fact he is saying something they don't like. That's it. That's not really proper reasoning. That's an understatement. No one has dug up any dirt on Basille that might suggest he is a liar. No one has shown he is a tax cheat, a drug addict, wife beater, con artist, steroid dealer, dog fight organizer, dishonest politician.....What it comes down to is that we can never be 100% sure he was telling the truth because none of us were there and we can't jump into his brain. Because of Vince's cool relationship to Arnold and the fact that all other evidence supports it, we can be fairly certain he is telling the truth. The burden of proof is on Metric, Lynn, Ali, etc, to give us any reason why his testimony should not be taken seriously aside from the fact they don't like it. Can you prove Vince and Arnold were really best pals? Anything other than hard evidence for all of us to see is just making up stuff. Vince basille being a liar is just making up stuff. GUY says on 18/Feb/10
Lynn, I never said he was 6'. Besides that, all I did was google his height and I got this

What difference does it make anyways. If Coe is 5'9", Arnold still looks a strong 6' there and 6' 1/2" is easily believable. That's in line with what things should be today. It's funny how you are right there with a correction when you think someone has made an error in facts. But you then turn around and liberally make up whatever height fact suits your agenda. If Arnold looks tall next to this person, you'll just easily fix that problem by decreasing this person's height. You have done this countless times. Even with your last post you rounding 180 cm up to 6'. 180 cm is 5'11". Lucio says on 17/Feb/10
Since the 183 cm peak height for Arnold there is neither in heaven or on earth (they don't believe even those who say this) as indeed he was not been even a full 6'2", i will try to explain my idea and because i consider the measurement made by Vince Basille pretty accurate.
Now, Basille says he measured Arnold at 6'1.5" which amounts to exactly 186.69 cm which, having passed the half (0.69 > 0.50), can be rounded to 187 cm.
So not a full 187 cm, but a strong 186 cm.
We consider that when Basille had measured Arnold, he was stood straight with back and neck fully stretched as when we are put oneself in pose to be measured.
Like a dummy practically.
It 'obvious that when you go on the road or in everyday life, we have a more relaxed posture, we are not straight like mannequins, so a guy tall 186 cm, will be perceived as tall 185 cm in normal posture from other people.
And that explains why he gives the perception of being tall 185 cm (6'1"). Hunke says on 17/Feb/10
Brian: very weird that an supposed 187 cm guy in 1991 looks 3-4 cm shorter then bush sr at 6.2, very weird that 187 cm arnold look 4-5 cm shorter then cameron in avatar pics.

The site saying he is 5'9" and 145 lbs makes almost no sense unless Sebastian was/is extremely extremely skinny. 145 lbs for a 5'9" is way too low from an athletics perspective. BradMckenzie says on 17/Feb/10
Brian: Arnold bribing Basilli is plain foolish and dumb idea. Basilli measured Arnold in 1968 when Arnold had just arrived fresh off the boat. He was living in poverty and Weider was paying him $400 per week and an apartment to stay as a compensation for his competitive bodybuilding for Weider. Arnold did not start making big money from investments, endorsements and movies until 1972 - 1973.
You have to remember Basilli hates Arnold since Arnold effectively ended his bodybuilding career by being the only judge in Mr. Australia contest to give him a low score while all other three judges scored him high.
He is just an honest guy who Rob emailed because he had heard rumors had measured in 1968. Basilli gave him a straight honest answer back that he measured Arnold at 6'1.5". Remember Basilli claims he never spoke to Arnold after 1977 due to bitterness and animosity for Arnold since he believes Arnold caused it to be taken away what was rightfully his.

On this new consensus from Hunke and Anon that Arnie was a flat 6'1" peak: I think 185-186cm peak for Arnold is quite possible, but I don't believe it myself. True, Arnold has been cited as 6'1" several times, but keep in mind that if Arnold was 6'1"-2" peak, the extra fraction of an inch might have been omitted (Most people outside this cite don't care enough about height to care about a half or quarter inch). And about the Jim pic above: Arnold might appear a bit shorter because Jim is leaning on Arnie to put some extra weight on him, and we of course have no idea about the footwear in the picture. But here's another idea altogether: The pic was taken when Arnold was in his forties. He could have easily lost a cm or so by then.
Anononymous, I doubt that Basille was bribed to measure Arnie at 6'1.5". First of all, Arnie claims 6'1 3/4" as his peak height, so why wouldn't he bribe someone to list him at that height instead of 6'1 1/2"? Second of all, I doubt Arnie would use money and resources to make Basille claim that he was a mere half-inch taller than he actually was. Also, Rob has an Email contact with Basille. I can only assume that he's close enough with him to make sure he's the real deal. And what's this about it being impossible to grow past 20? If I remember correctly, it's possible for plates not to fuse until age 25. Though this is uncommon, I've heard plenty of stories of people hitting late growth spurts in their early 20s, as much as a few inches, even after years of not growing.
Personally, I believe that Arnold was around 6'1.5" peak because I trust Basille's Email. However, since I buy that he was measured 6'1 1/2" at night, I won't throw the 6'1 3/4" claim out the window. I'd say that Arnold was 187 cm peak, since that lies in between 6'1 1/2" and 6'1 3/4". But I agree that he was never a solid 6'2" and that any argument otherwise is just fanboy talk. Lucio says on 16/Feb/10

Although they are far from each other and, as you say, with a distorted camera angle, Arnie looks at least 183 cm here. Anonymous says on 16/Feb/10
Brad: I one of Arnolds biggest Fans, watched all his movies, seen 90% of all pics on him that is circulating on the internet and been on this page for years. I know most deatails from his life in my head. My conclusion is that Arnold doesnt look like he is 6.2, he has never looked that expect in the terminator movies, more like 6.1 and 6 feet today, possible 6,0.5. Maybe he was 186 cm in the 60s and 70s, it is not uncommon for people to shrink about 1 cm at 40. Bone mass is starting to decrease at 30 years of age.
i have read Vince Basile letter but i dont know who Vince Basile is expect he were hanging with arnold in the 60s. But how do we know he is telling the truth and isnt bribed, and that Rob really talked with the right guy and not a charlatan?
Guiness world of records has arnold pegged at 185 cm, so did a chart of arnold from a competion in 1966 or 1967, then when he was 22 the chart said 6.2, lol nobody grows after 20, especielly not Arnold who was a early-bloomer as a teen.
Life has learned me that the middle way is usually the right one, metric claims 6 feet peak, the others claims usually around 6.2. 6.1 is probably right as peak height and it sure looks like it.

Anyone claiming Arnold under 6' is full of it! I saw Arnold in Vancouver Canada on friday the 12th February 2010 within 4 feet of me as he raised the Olympic torch and had some pictures taken. I was standing behind the barriers and he was atleast 6 foot. ATLEAST 6 foot! Maybe more. He then started running with the Olympic torch. I am 5'10.75" and he was definitely taller than me and he was wearing flat running shoes.
Arnold was wearing white running shoes, a white jogging pants and jogging suit!
Again, I saw Arnold just 2 days ago in running shoes so that he could run with the Olympic torch in Vancouver Canada. He is atleast 6 foot.
Don't believe for a second the people lying that Arnold in his prime was not over 6 foot since I saw him over 6 foot at the age of 63.
Yes, I missed that because of work. Logic says he wouldn't look any different than his photos with Blair. Over 6' but possibly not quite 6'1" anymore. Here he is with 180cm Lord Coe.
Click Here
Not a great photo or one to flaunt as anything because we can't see their feet and terrain. Camera looks fairly level judging by the people in the back. Either way, Arnold does look bigger there. Compare it to this photo where Arnold is in back but is still favored by the high camera angle.

I won't pull a Metric and use that photo instead just because it gives me what I want. Lynn says on 15/Feb/10

Arnold and Lord Sebastian Coe. As Rob knows very well Coe was one of the greatest athlete of all time.

Maybe is the bad angle, or Coe is on a box but Arnie does not look so much taller! derek d says on 15/Feb/10
With all this talk about Arnold wearing lifts, can you show me at least one picture to prove this? I literally have never seen any evidence of Arnold wearing suspicious footwear. And its not that hard to look for. BradMckenzie says on 15/Feb/10
Hunke: Arnold was measured in 1969 and it was confirmed by the person who measured himself Vince Basilli to editor Rob. He told editor Rob that he has nothing to gain from it and was stating mere facts since he actually hated Arnold for being unfair to him in 1977.
Regarding Jim's picture with Arnold, it is a skewed picture because Jim has his arm around Arnold and his entire bodyweight is being supported by Arnold. That easily causes spinal compression. Jim is also desperately trying to stretch himself out as much as possible to look taller than Arnold. Who knows? He could be standing on his toes because Arnold has his weight around his shoulders.

Metric, Well done dude.
I congratulate you with your victory Metric. You have proven
that Arnold is clearly shorter than 6 ft.
Victory???
But what victory?????
Someone can explain me what victory he is talking about??? Lol.
We are really at FINAL COMICS!!!
Delirium at the pure state....
Shaking my head.... Lol!

Metric, Well done dude.
Like I have said all the time, Arnold was always
shorter than 6 ft. His peak height was about 5'10.
He has been wearing lifts to appear bigger.
Yours Metric and Cj's pictures prove it. We even
have Arnold barefoot with Dantes from 1969 showing
Arnold was clearly shorter than 6 ft. 6'1.5 is just
incredibly funny. But you know in Hollywood faking
it is normal.
A 6'1 guy is a large person, especially in Hollywood
movies. Arnold was never tall. Sure he was wide and muscular,but
not tall. Slightly above average, nothing more or less.

Ali, you're not worth wasting time going into detail why you are wrong about everything you think and say. If you want to believe Arnold was only 5'10", fine, there is obviously nothing that can be done to change that. I can recognize when a person is clearly brainwashed and impervious to reason.
What I do find interesting is when something monumental happens that again proves Arnold was 6'1 1/2", you and Lynn come out of the woodwork to spread contrary propaganda and not much else. That's not a coincidence. Do you feel threatened? You're congratulating Metric on some kind of victory? What has he done? That's just a spin doctor tactic! Anyone can sit and type anything they want when they see their chips taken away. Lucio displays with height lines that Arnold did look 6'1 1/2" next to Kotto but Metric gets a hearty congrats for his superb victory. Are you more than just a little slow man. Cj says on 15/Feb/10
There is a progress journal on the internet some where by someone who knew Arnie or atleast got to take his Measurements which has all of Arnies stats from height to calf over a span of years,if i recall correctly it starts at age 15 or 16 and it states he was 5ft 11in or 6ft then it continued to chart is different measurements till he was 19 or 20 years old by that time i think the journal said he was 6ft 1in
That kind of proves he could never of been 5ft10in peak height as Ali says and 5ft11in as metric says.
The journal as been posted here before but i couldnt find it in a recent search on the web,its got to be there though,the journal in my opinion his unbiassed documented at the time proof and really would of been no reason to lie about the Arnie stats as they where practically taken when he was a unknown name at age 15,well thats my opinion.

The yaphet kotto and Arnold pic in silohuette shows arnold to be 6.1 max if Kotto is 193 cm. I see 3 inches difference between them, 4 inches is bull****. Then Arnolds head would have been 12 inches long Hunke says on 14/Feb/10
How can anyone say Arnie was 6.1/5 in his movies carer in the 80s when we have Jim pic above that shows arn to be around 6.1 tops? Probably arn was 186 cm in his youth, 185 cm in the 80s like jim pic show, and 183-184 cm now.
Im sick of either metric and Ali saing he is 5.10-6.00 and the fanboys claiming 6.1/5 - 6.2. The reality is that he was nothing more then 6.1 peak.
its a fact Arnie almost never looked 6.2 expect in terminator, more like 183-185 cm, Lucio says on 14/Feb/10
Thanks, Ace. Metric says on 14/Feb/10

Guy - You poor ****. I donīt need to give Kotto a height downgrade. You deliberately pick the most skewered and worthless pic to parade as your proof of Arnold looking Kottos height! He is A MILLION MILES farther away from the camera than Arnold! You are crazy. And an infatuated fanboy. You obviously have some sort of twisted lust for Mr. Schortzenegger. But ok, peace be. If imagining Arnold at 6-4 in your warped mind gives you (intense - if you know what I mean?? - smirk) "pleasure" then fine by me. But he is NOT the same height as Kotto. He is DWARFED
Listen, you are absolutely the most infatuated here on this subject with your continuous comments on Arnold's character and your pathological hatred for the man. I speak of height, you speak of how much you personally despise the man. Gee, who has the infatuation here!!??!! You seem entirely obsessed with destroying this entity called Arnold. You dare insinuate I have some gay thing going on here! These are petty taunts from a man boy! I know if I met you in person I would not like you. I'm sure your interpersonal skills are fully expressed in your conduct on this site. You seem like an antisocial recluse, harvesting his hate filled manifesto. I seriously don't know why Rob doesn't ban you! How old are? You have the maturity level of a pre-teen or else you're living in your parents basement. You are Bennett. You really are that character. I bet you spend all night typing in your leather pants and chainmail stroking your little mustache. Matrix I'm sure had an "aha" moment when Bennett switched from shooting him between the eyes to shooting him between the balls! It all makes sense now! Ali says on 14/Feb/10

YES, Arnold's own people stated his height during his career was listed incorretly at 6'2, it should have been listed as 6'0, now with age he has shrunk. his stats to me never matched (6'2 & 235lb). he should have been over 290lb at that claimed height. no heights are fixed in stone, until Rob actually measures the celeb! Lucio says on 13/Feb/10
Thanks Guy, i also think that Arnold has never been a full 6'2" (187.88 cm), even by his own admission in an interview with Bronstein, but rather a strong 6'1.5" as reflected in the overwhelming majority of photographs.
6'1 3/4" for me, it was possible for him if completely straight in perfect posture. Shaun says on 13/Feb/10
I agree with guy. Watch films like Junior and that and to me he looks like a big 6'3" guy. He looks very tall in some scenes, not just compared to Devito but he can look 6'3"-6'4" at times even though he isn't. If he was 6'1.5" barefoot then he would have come close to 6'3" in shoes anyway. Just look at the 1995 pics of Arnie and Clint Eastwood. Very close in height. In Terminator I and II he looked 6'2" as he did in most films. Shaun says on 13/Feb/10
Kotto was 6'4.5" peak. 5'11" for Arnie peak is hilarious. Just see him barefoot in the olympia competitions and training. He looks exactly the way a legit 6'1" guy does. Not particularly tall but a good height , and he always stood out against others competitors by being inches taller than 5'11" listed guys etc. There is no doubt that he was a solid 6'1.5" peak. As for being a fanboy, I think mentally Arnie should be respected more than anything else. It iis by no small cooincidence that some of the top bodybuilders are intelligent. It takes severe hard work and dedication to get to that level, when most people feel like giving up they stick with and push to the next level and once they reach their goal they set another and continually self improving. I have immense respect for guys like Arnie and Bruce Lee and even if Arnie did use roids for some time his dedication and will power to create a superhuman body that he did is unbelievable. They are a tru inspitation not just to bodybuilders/fitness fanatics but in thinking positively and setting yourself goals of self improvement. Lynn says on 13/Feb/10

And BTW Guy - pause at 2:46. Now there is your shot of Arn and Kotto. Yaphet has pi*s poor posture while Arn walks military doing a Stallone. Still Yaphet is around 3 inches taller. If he straightened all out he would easily be 4-5 inches taller = 5-11 to 6-0 prime Arnold.
That is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a 6-2 man walking besides 6-4 Yaphet Kotto right there! Period.

Listen to me you idiot. I never said Arnold was 6'4". What, every post you write now is going to be a STRAWMAN! Is that the only way you stay in this? Did you even read that Jan. 20th post? I swear it is so obvious to me but you continue time after time with these twisted manipulated tactics. You have to know I question you on so many levels here.
As far as the picture, that was the only one I could find without spending hours and hours searching. Really photos of Kotto and Arnold are rare. I did not choose a cheater picture as that was really the only one available. I was also honest (unlike you) in explaining that Arnold was a little closer to the camera. I never said Arnold was the same height as Kotto!!! I won't let your little pathetic tactics worm your way from this you manipulative moron. Here are the facts. Arnold DOES APPEAR the same height as Kotto here.....
Click Here
.....but Kotto is a little behind Arnold. Way behind? No. A little behind. Kotto is not going to lose 4 inches. I don't explain this for you because I know you're so brainwashed in your beliefs and nothing will change you. The various people that aren't your alter egos, do get it.
That photo obviously does anger you! You definitely like to draw the double standard. You scream how pointless and useless that photo is, but countless times you use infinitely more flawed photos and claim victory. What it comes to with this photo is you can't make any definite height assessments, but you can rule out 5'11" or 6' Arnie there. Lucio says on 12/Feb/10
Anonymous says on 12/Feb/10
On US TV, his own people stated that his height was listed incorrectly at 6'-2", IT SHOULD have been 6'-0".
I think that is correct. His prime was 6'-0", NOW more like 5'-11". he has srunk! and is known to wear lifts.
"Anonynous" (Metric) - STOP PLEASE!!!
So much, we have recognized you! Lol.
Guy, you're absolutely right.
If Metric "WANTS", and i emphasize "WANTS", see Arnold at 5'11" he will see him at 5'11" in any way and any evidence or argument we can bring, so i post these frames taken from clips that Guy just provided, so that others here can judge them themselves.

In this picture, moreover, Arnold has a worse posture than Kotto, almost the same as he had in the famous photo with Reg Park and Draper (i.e. with the abs tense).
Click Here
As you can see from the usual lines that I outlined, the apex of Arnold cranium coincides roughly with the half of the Kotto forehead, and how each of us can check on itself, between the apex of the skull and half of front, there are about 6-7 cm.
It follows that, if Kotto is tall 6'4" (193 cm), Arnold is between 6'1.5" and 6'1.75" indeed 193 cm - 187 cm = 6 cm.
Substance doesn't change.
Metric, do the math. FunkyM says on 12/Feb/10
Danimal: That is pathetic!! That is downright pathetic!!! We need to lobby to Rob to ban Metric's IP Address!! A raging maniac with psychological issues and inferiority complexes.
Everyone is fcking sick and tired of him!!! He is more dumb than a daffodil and is a pathalogical liar that puts tiger woods to shame. His agenda and hatred have been exposed and everyone has called him out on his lies and slapped his face with the facts disproving him yet, he comes back without any shame and complete disregard for people's ability to discuss. When everyone is sick and tired of Metric, Rob should listen and ban his IP address in order for people to peacefully discuss amongst themselves objectively and impartially.
Rob why don't you respond to this please?? YOU MUST EXPLAIN!!! We need an explanation as to why a pathological liar who has annoyed everyone and put offensive content in his posts still here?? Are you doing it for the sake of keeping this thread alive since if he does not stir the pot, no one will dispute Arnold 6'1.5" - 6'2" since he was measured at that and too much barefoot evidence??

FunkyM for slapping the raging maniac called Metric in the face: Thanks for posting the picture up again of Arnold with Yaphet Kotto. Like everyone says Metric is a raging maniac and a pathological liar. His chronic habbit of lying is something everyone is annoyed of. Everyone knows he is full of sht!!!

So, I've seen him semi-recently when he used the conference room at my job. He's *maybe* an inch taller than me and I'm 5'10" - The man is around 63 though, so I'm sure he's shrunk a little. I was definitely surprised at how short he was compared to how tall I thought he was. GUY says on 11/Feb/10
I won't even leave it up to Metric to judge these clips. He only sees what he wants to see, and if he wants to see Arnold look 5'11" next to 6'4" Yaphet Kotto, he will. I leave it to the others here who actually see things for what they are no matter what they feel emotionally about the subject. Start at minute 2:40 and you will see Arnold and Kotto perfectly side by side on level ground. You will see there is not a great difference in height. What better piece of evidence for comparison?
Click Here
Or this one. Arnold might have a very slight camera advantage but not much. All the same, both Arnold and Kotto look the SAME HEIGHT here. Is a 5'11" or 6' man going to look like this next to a 6'4" guy. I don't think so. I know what comes next. Time to give Kotto a nice height downgrade!
Click Here
At the 10:16 mark we see 6'5" Sven Ole Thorsen not exactly towering Arnold. Again Arnold looks every bit the 6'1 1/2" he was measured.
Click Here
Or about 34 seconds in we get a good comparison of Arnold and Kotto. Even taking Kotto's afro into consideration, Arnold still easily looks 6'1 1/2" next to 6'4" Kotto.
Click Here
I never got the impression that Kotto looked monstrous in the film as he would if Arnold looked 5'11" by your opinion. Why do you think you are winning here when even your star evidence backfires on you and shoots you in the face. After this you basically have nothing. I guess that's what you mean when you say you're going to just have "fun" from now on. That means, "I really have nothing left so I'll just continue believing my deluded beliefs but continue to troll the board and agitate everyone."
You've been going on and on about how Yaphet Kotto towered over Arnold in Running Man but finally I've proven you are just plain wrong. Everyone can see. It was simple enough to find these clips so for obvious reasons it's easy to understand why you never used them. Metric says on 11/Feb/10
Brad McKenzie - what the hell are you talking about??? I donīt need to hide. Iīm open about my theories. Itīs fools like you who think I SHOULD be hiding that makes this so much fun. I conceal nothing. Iīm just presenting my honest opinion which is that we are dealing with a Schortzenegger here not an XXXL-SIZEenegger. It is just eating you up inside because you know I could be right? Somewhere deep inside you feel this...What would happen then??? Your entire reason for living would be flushed down the sh**ter! Because you only live to LIVE THROUGH Arnold...to mirror yourself in the deluded fantasy of this 6-8 (your own words) nietzschean superman. Yes.

Seriously, raging maniac Metric, give it up you spoiled little sht SOB!!!Clearly, GUY spoke with nothing but respect, but your filthy, nasty and like someone said before potty mouth is a raging maniac! You should have been banned a long time ago by Rob. Question is YOU ARE THE BLIND HERE!! Why don't you put up proof of Arnold being dwarfed by Yaphet Kotto?? You are blind because Jonathan has already put up the proof and you are demented and obviously you are a raging maniac, an e-thug and a Viking keyboard warrior that completely ignored that your hatred and bias got busted already.
Here it is again:
Click Here
How the f*ck do you classify that as "dwarfed"?? Arnold is not even standing upright and he still is not getting "dwarfedd" by Kotto. If Arnold stood up straight, he would be a maximum of 2.5 - 3 inches shorter than Kotto.
Then again, you are a pathalogical liar and chronic ptty mouth!!! No one should even respond to your blatant lies, denials and fabrications.
With that type of attitude and with that type of filthy language, you would get your face smashed backwards you ptty mouth!!! Metric says on 11/Feb/10
Brad Mckenzie - Yes, and your are clearly Mr. Credibility after posting that pic of "210 lbs" Arnold and 320 lbs" Sven Ole - ROFLMAO.

Arnold 6'0" or 6'1" doesn't matter to me, most people look up to him, but I'm 6'6" I look down to Arnold, he has to look UP to me, lol. I'm only 17 and a high school senior and I'm a fan of Terminator 2, it came out just before I was even born.
Does that make you feel like a powerful guy that Arnold has to look up to you? As you get older, you'll realize that height isn't the most important thing. Be a good person, who doesn't take pleasure in looking down at others. THEN you'll be the BIGGER person kid ;). BradMcKenzie says on 11/Feb/10
GUY: Clearly, metric is demented. Here is Arnold from 6th day standing next to Robert Duvall who is 5'8" - 5'10".
Arnold is hunched over and is farther away from the camera, Robert standing upright and is closer to the camera, yet Arnold easily towers over him by 4 - 5 inches. Tell me how does a 5'10" guy get to be 4 - 5 inches taller than a 5'9" guy??
Click Here
Metric is a mor*n with zero credibility, like said before.
What a great picture!!!! Clearly already tarnished credibility Metric had been further completely been destroyed by his continuous biased and hate filled statements. I mean, does this guy ever give up?? Seriously, he got pummeled to the ground and got humiliated by so many people so many times for exposing the blatant flat out lies that he puts forward, yet he has the audacity and the nerve to come back and continue to make ludicrous statement. Such a shame Metric is an e-thug and a keyboard warrior who hides behind his little keyboard and writes complete nonsense sht! In real life, he would be hiding behind his mommy because of humiliation, he would not want to face anyone. Metric says on 11/Feb/10

I just bought Running Man on Blu-Ray for $14.99. Since I was unfamiliar with the film I couldn't make any real statement left or right. Upon watching it I can only declare Metric a certified moron! At most Yaphet Kotto appears about 3 inches taller and at the least, he and Arnold look equal height. Many scenes they didn't look much different. 5'11" is a total joke for Arnold. Kotto doesn't appear a whole lot taller in most scenes. That is also in combination with Arnold not looking too much shorter than 6'5" Sven Ole Thorsen. I don't buy anything that you say. You're both a liar and a cheat when it comes to formal debate. Lance Kaniski says on 11/Feb/10
Arnold 6'0" or 6'1" doesn't matter to me, most people look up to him, but I'm 6'6" I look down to Arnold, he has to look UP to me, lol. I'm only 17 and a high school senior and I'm a fan of Terminator 2, it came out just before I was even born. guy says on 10/Feb/10
I saw him once at his place on Main Street in Santa Monica- I was a bit shocked at how short he looked- no matter how he's measured. FunkyM says on 10/Feb/10
GUY: Clearly, metric is demented. Here is Arnold from 6th day standing next to Robert Duvall who is 5'8" - 5'10".
Arnold is hunched over and is farther away from the camera, Robert standing upright and is closer to the camera, yet Arnold easily towers over him by 4 - 5 inches. Tell me how does a 5'10" guy get to be 4 - 5 inches taller than a 5'9" guy??

Metric is a mor*n with zero credibility, like said before. GUY says on 10/Feb/10
Thank you Brian and Lucio. My point was of course easy to understand. It was that your perception of someone's height on screen can be hugely influenced by others they appear with. To say Arnold doesn't look tall in Predator is true to a certain extent because so many of the main characters were very tall men. That's how your brain processes things, by relative comparison. But if you showed up on set and watched the filming with your own eyes, you would perceive things much differently. You would be like, these guys are all big.
My point was if someone wasn't much of an Arnie fan and was flicking around the channels and happened to click on Terminator during the scene where he's procuring those weapons in the gun shop, they would be forgiven to think Arnold was an absolute giant. That's because the clerk is a pretty short guy. It was an argument for the discussion that Arnold's films routinely cast very large men that can skew your perception of how tall he is. But when you compare him to other actors on screen of known average height, Arnold DOES look tall.
Metric lives, eats, breathes, and craps STRAWMAN arguments. If you don't know what Metric does over, and over, then refer to my January 20th post. He either knows he does this but thinks he can get away with it, or he is such an idiot and has no idea. I'm thinking number two. I don't think Metric is clever enough to do it deliberately. The only way he can stand up to me or anyone else here is to manipulate our words and concepts and then attack that. He can't debate face to face, eye to eye, like a real man. Classic STRAWMAN. One of your best Metric! Metric says on 10/Feb/10
Ok, You got me Guy. In reality Iīm a 4-0 midget!
That still doesnīt change the fact that Schortzenegger was NEVER 6-2!!
You can insult me all you wanīt with your cheap psychological tricks but it will NEVER make Arnold taller in ANY way!
As for Schortzenegger looking 5-10 in The 6th day?? Go rent it and see for yourself. Itīs the scene between Robert Duvall and Arn. He hardly looks any taller than Robert. The difference in height is miniscule. IF Schortzenegger really was the height people on here believe him to be there would be almost half a heads difference of height between the two men. But there isnīt! Arnold looks very short with Duvall. Go and see. Brian says on 10/Feb/10
Metric says on 8/Feb/10
BTW you are right about Arnold being 3 inches shorter than Sven. Problem is that Sven was NEVER the 6-5 he claimed! He was 6-2 to 6-3 (MAX) prime. So the picture shows a circa 5-11.5 to 6-0 Arnold. As I always said he was.
Don't know if you noticed "Celebheights listed 6'5"" Thorsen in that comment. Are you saying that a very height-conscious editor on this site who probably looked through many photos/other listings to get a listing just randomly gave a 6'2" man 6'5"? Are you also expecting anyone on this page to believe where you just said it out of nowhere with no evidence whatsoever on the table? Well, in that case, I'm not surprised.
Now, it's clear that Metric despises photos from Arnold's bodybuilding days because as far as I can remember, he hasn't posted one for at least the past few months. Arnold's bodybuilding photos have him standing next to another bodybuilder whose height has been confirmed, usually side by side for an accurate measurement. There's no way of saying "Lifts" since Arnold is barefoot, or any other nonsense. The best he can do is downgrade a fellow bodybuilder from the height they were confirmed as being (e.g. "giving" 6'0" Dave Draper 5'11", 6'4.5" Lou Ferrigno 6'3", or 6'5" Thorsen 6'2"-6'3") with no evidence at all. These photos are a nightmare for Metric, since they show the empirical truth: A 6'1.5"-6'2" Arnie.
Of course, I could be wrong. Metric might have actually went so far out of his way to avoid doing research that he actually didn't check to see that Thorsen was confirmed as 6'5" on this site. It would make sense. He didn't do any research to find that Reinfeldt was 6'1"-6'2" instead of the 5'10.75" that CJ initially thought, nor did he to find that Rob Lowe wears lifts to make himself appear 5'11"-6'0" (Both these gaffes came over the course of the last couple of days). By the way, your assessment of Arnold's height in comparison to those guys' backs up Arnold being 6'0.5" today. Thanks! Feel free to contribute whatever photos you want in the future to further disprove your own arguement! BradMcKenzie says on 10/Feb/10
Chris, Derek_d: Like I said before, this picture was taken just before they started shooting for "Conan the barbarian". Sven Ole Thorsen was also competing in powerlifting and strongest man contest back through 1978 - 1980. Sven himself claimed he was 320 pounds in the late-70s and early-80s when he did "Conan the barbarian" and "world's strongest man" contest and went up to all time high of 340 lbs.
Pictures can be illusive, just look at Sven Ole Thorsen in Conan the Barbarian and he looked every bit of 320 pounds. He was muscular, very tall and huge!
Anyone who believes Sven Ole Thorsen in his PRIME NOT TODAY was not 6'5" is full of sht!!! Plain and simple! It is easily confirmed by the "world's strongest man" contest stats of 1981 where Sven Ole Thorsen competed for world's strongest man title. His official stats were indeed 6'5" and 320 pounds in 1981. Chaz says on 10/Feb/10
Sven Ole Thorsen,was every inch of 6'5'',he was in the 1982 Europe's strongest man,he was crap as a strongman in it,but in the bar bend there are 4 bending at a time,and one of them is 6'5.5''geoff Capes and they are all in a line infront of a table,and you can see Sven is just as tall as Capes,and do not try to say Capes was not over 6'5''because you will just look a Idiot' GUY says on 10/Feb/10
Metric says on 8/Feb/10
Arn has sure as hell NEVER looked 6-3.5 in ANY of his movies like Guy suggests he can!! Shaking my head. He has looked as short as 5-10 in 6th day and NEVER taller than the 6-1 he looked in The Terminator (and that was in HUGE heeled rocker style boots). Actually itīs very obvious when watching Arnolds films that he is in NO WAY a particular tall or gargantuan guy. All I can say is that if Arnold really was 6-2 then Hollywood is swarmed with 6-4 to 6-5 men, including the extras. Now, maybe if this was Denmark. But itīs not. Itīs US where average height is 5-9. (Or 5-6.5 if you ask G (The departed) lol.)
Do the math people.
Show us how Arnold looked 5'10" in 6th Day. If it's like any of the other CRAP you've provided, it'll be an easy refute!! Show us! You just saying anything as fact is not reputable. We've refuted EVERTHING YOU HAVE POSTED!!!EVERYTHING!!!!! Your hate and malicious intent makes anything you say instantly suspect. Afterall you hate Arnold. Many people hate his films or his cheesy macho muscles. Your hatred is much deeper. This isn't speculation as you display it each time you post. You continuously fail to provide any real evidence for your retared claims but become ever more fervant and hostile despite. That shows your feelings are based little on fact but on.....well feeling! You're an insecure guy. I doubt you're even as big as you say. You only act big behind your computer. To me, you seem very, very small. Jonathan says on 9/Feb/10

As usual bullsht on your 5'10" theory for Arnold in "Running man". Then again, the kind of nonsense you write and everyone's response to your utter bullsht, everyone is pretty unanimous you have ZERO CREDIBILITY.
Arnold looked atleast 6'1" in the movie. He was surrounded by people who were 6'3" - 6'5" (Yaphet Kotto, Sven Ole Thorsen)
I could not find many pictures on "Running man" to lay the smack down on you, but I found one of celebheight listed 6'5" Yaphet Kotto and Arnold side by side. Yaphet has the camera advantage since he is closer to Arnold, yet Arnold looks only 2.5 - 3 inches shorter than him:
Click Here Shawn says on 9/Feb/10
Arnold still looks close to 6'1 nowadays.. that is by no means average. Steve says on 8/Feb/10
I drove a cab for awhile in LA in the early eighties. I stood less then ten feet from him while picking up a fare at a hotel in Beverly Hills. He was well known as a bodybuilder at that time, his acting career was just taking off. He was considered one of the most massive bodybuilders at that time. At the time I saw him, he was past competing and had slimmed down considerably. I stand a bit over 5'11" and was quite cognizant of height, even then! I recall estimating that Arnold was just a fraction under 6'1". He might have lost a bit since then due to age, injuries,etc. Brian says on 8/Feb/10
In all fairness, Metric, GUY said that Arnold "looked" 6'8" in one scene, not that he was. You can look a wide range of heights in any movie based on camera angles, footwear, and costars. I also agree that Arnold looked over 6'2" (Which again, he was not quite) in his 80s movies, mostly because of his muscle mass. Didn't look as tall is his 90s movies because he didn't look quite as massive. He was always a little shorter than most of the 6'2"+ action stars he appeared with, but he always seemed to tower over the common people he came across in his movies.
I almost think that the height he appeared to have in those movies influenced people to think that he's lost a real lot of height today (Some people he's lost more than 2 inches). He really had that 6'5" muscle-bound drill sergeant type of presence in many of his movies. Though Arnold was weak 6'2" peak, I actually agree with Metric that he wasn't gargantuan-sized. When he became governor, lost all that muscle, and began looking less like a young action hero, people began realizing that he wasn't ever super tall, but others believed that he had just lost a severe amount of height since his hay day.
It should be noted that whatever Arnold appeared to be in movies shouldn't influence his listing. We all know the rap: Arnold was measured 6'1.5" in the evening, confirmed by his fellow bodybuilders, and was believed to be 6'2" out of bed by Basille. Plenty of barefoot photos of Arnold also confirm this, so I still don't understand why this debate as been going on for so long. Lucio says on 8/Feb/10

Jesse Ventura looks a good 3-4 inches shorter than Ralph Moeller in the prison scene from Batman & Robin. Ralph said HIMSELF on german television in 2006 that he is 6-5. Do the math! Jesse is 6-1 to 6-2 max. He was 1 inch shorter than Sven Ole Thorsen in Running Man. Sven on danish television has NEVER looked 6-5. He looked 6-2 on a danish show some years ago. DO THE MATH! Schortzenegger wish he was Jesses height. But he isnīt. Arn was 5-11.5 prime. Now he is between 5-10.5 to 5-10.75. Looking 6-0.5 in stealths. Do the math...

Arnold 5'11.5" in his prime??
But, don't you say he was 6ft prime?
Now you downgrading him further? Lol. Shaking my head..

Brad McKenzie - You are godd*amn delusional if you think Sven Ole weighs 320 lbs in that picture!! BTW itīs from either shortly before or after Arnolds 1980 Mr. Olympia victory not 1979 (which can be witnessed from Arnolds physical shape). NO WAY is Arnold only 210 lbs. in that pic! He is more like 225-230 lbs. I would estimate Sven Ole at 250 lbs max.
BTW you are right about Arnold being 3 inches shorter than Sven. Problem is that Sven was NEVER the 6-5 he claimed! He was 6-2 to 6-3 (MAX) prime. So the picture shows a circa 5-11.5 to 6-0 Arnold. As I always said he was. Hugh (191cm/252lbs) says on 8/Feb/10

He looked 6'1"-ish in The Terminator, about 6'0.5" in Commando, and 6' in most other movies of him, I recall - including Predator, and Terminator 2. He did, however, look VERY 5'11"-ish in The Running Man, which made me wonder...
People tend to forget that Arnold stood along side with most actors ranging from 6'2 to 6'5 the entire movie. He appeared a solid 6'0.5 - 6'1, at worst, if you ask me. chris says on 7/Feb/10

Chris: Warrior's billed weight was 275 pounds. Arnold never stood next to warrior in his 260 pounds form so you do not know. Arnold was naturally thin boned (ecto-morph) so bone density is never apparent by just look at height and weight. Plus Arnold had a measured 33 inches waist even in off-season 260 pounds and his legs were not very big.
Again, Warrior's was "billed weight". You need to understand the difference between "billed weight" and real weight. Warrior in reality was never over 250 pounds. WWF/WWE greatly exaggerates the height and weight of their wrestlers.
Are you insane? check out warriors earlier matches when he was dingo warrior. he was massive, he was at least 270. GUY says on 7/Feb/10

You are discerning a very small amount of height difference without ever being there to assess in person. Come on, you can distinguish 1/2 inch difference in how you think he appears between Terminator and Commando. There's no margin of error? He was measured 6'1 1/2" as his actual height. He's going to easily appear 2 inches + shorter or taller depending on the scene, footwear, fellow actors for comparison, or level of ground. To say he looked one inch less than his actual height is very perceptive (unrealistic) as one inch is too little a difference to make such a call on. Heck I could say Arnold looked 6'8" in that scene in Terminator where he's buying firearms in that gun shop. He looks huge in front of the store clerk.
Predator was cast with very large actors. Without taking that into consideration you could say Arnold looks average there as he's not the biggest guy. Intellectual laziness aside, you can easily cross reference 6'4" Bill Duke, 6'4" Jesse Ventura, 6'2" Carl Weathers, 6'3" Sonny Landham. There's also a scene in Running man where Arnold really does not look too much shorter than 6'5" Sven Thorsen. So you see, not actually being there in person to quantitatively judge someone's height is flawed since judgement will be based on other actors you see on screen. Without knowing the heights of those other actors, judgement will always be skewed. Imperial says on 6/Feb/10

About this whole discussion with Lowe: Rob is listed at 5'10", but go to his celebheights page first:
Click Here
You'll see 5'10.5" Alan with Rob at the top, and Lowe looks .5"-1" taller than him. This either means that Lowe was not listed right or that he is a confirmed lift wearer. I'm leaning toward the latter, but what's important here is that this photo can be used as an index for Arnold's height. If a 5'10.5" man is .5"-1" shorter than Lowe (At least with footwear in play), and Arnold is a solid inch taller than him, than that puts Arnold in the 6 foot range today. That's pretty much that.
-------------------
Yes Brian, is the same doubt that came to me.
In fact, if we compare a legit 5'11" man like Jay Leno, just to name one, with Arnold, we realize that there is almost more height difference between him and Arnold than between Arnold and Lowe, which should be 5'10" (178 cm) .
As indeed, the photo on his page with 5'10.5" Alan Light, me think more of a man tall 180 cm, rather than a man tall 178 cm, which would bring me to conclude that he habitually wears lifts (doubt moreover advanced by commentators of his page).
Don't we forget that photos with Blair in particular, but also with Clinton, Eastwood, Harrison Ford and others, leave NO DOUBT in holding that the height of Arnold IS, and i EMPHASIZE "IS", around a strong 6'.05". FunkyM says on 6/Feb/10

Again, Warrior's was "billed weight". You need to understand the difference between "billed weight" and real weight. Warrior in reality was never over 250 pounds. WWF/WWE greatly exaggerates the height and weight of their wrestlers.
For example, Batista has been billed at 6'5" when in reality is 6'2.5".

Your ignorance, hatred, denial and petty mentality has shown itself way too many times. Your efforts to downgrade Arnold relentlessly have failed miserably too many times.

P*ttymouth Metric: mor*n if you call Tom Arnold 5'11". Just to downgrade Arnold's height, you are downgrading just about every person who was photographed with Arnold and a legit 6 footer. There were tons of other pictures posted with 6 footers like James Cameron (6'2"), Harrison Ford (6'1"), Carl Weathers (6'1") and the list goes on. Arnold still looks in the 6 foot range even after shrinking by 1 - 1.5 inches.
Your bias and hatred against Arnold has been exposed time and again without any doubts! Calling Reeves 4 inches taller than Arnold is ludicrous that could come from only your th*ck p*ttymouth full of hatred! Arnold was a maximum 2 - 2.5 inches shorter than Reeves as shown in the 1986 picture.
It is impossible to determine the difference in CJ's pictures since it is taken at a low angle and Reeves is standing closer to the camera (since Arnold is looking to the left) while Arnold is standing farther away from the camera giving Reeve the advantage.
You are a pathetic little l*ser and a petty little man who is here just for kicks and giggles or just out of simple hatred and jealousy against Arnold. No doubt about that. Metric says on 5/Feb/10
Lucio - Are you BLIND!!??? In your socalled "restored" pics Arnold looks 5-11 MAX!! In the first one Lowe has pi*s poor posture while Arnold is standing military straight. Still there is not more than 1 inch between them.
In Cjs Reeve pic prime Arnold simply looks like a little kid next to Superman. The ceiling only shows that if anyone has the advantage its Arnold. Reeve is demonstrating his notorious slouching posture while Arnold is standing military straight and even tilting his head upwards (thus appearing taller). Still Reeve is a good 4-5 inches taller. Imagine if Reeve straightened out! The pic as it is shows a 6-0 prime Arnold. If Reeve stood straight Arnold would be excruciatingly humiliated and not look more than 5-11. However I will acknowledge that a shot from below might exaggerate things a bit. So let me be fair and give Arnold 5-11.5 to 6-0 in that prime shot.
6-2 is GODDAMN F**KING ABSURD! Metric says on 5/Feb/10
Brad McKenzie - If Tom Arnold is a "legit" 6-2 then Steven Seagal is 6-7. Because he was 4-5 inches taller in that movie they did together. You need to shut the f**k up and get your tongue out of Arnolds as*! GUY says on 5/Feb/10

He is MUST closer to the camera than 5-10 Rob Lowe and still looks only 1 inch taller. If they stood straight side by side I doubt there would be much difference at all? Anyone still believes he is 6-2 or 6-1 today???
1 inch? What are you smoking? Without taking anything into consideration Arnold would appear an easy 3 inches taller there by looking at top height and eye measure. Bring Arnold back a bit or Lowe forward a bit and maybe there's an extra inch to subtract.
Arnold still looks a good 6' there. People don't always look their exact height. Arnold is leaning back a bit for the camera while Lowe is standing pretty straight. Overall it's not good picture for comparison, but as usual you parade around like a clown as if it has it all.
Arnold and Lowe are not standing directly side by side so too much conjecture and speculation are needed. But that is nothing new as I would say ALL the great photos you've presented are flawed in some way. But you keep your big mouth shut when it's clear Arnold DOESN'T look 5'10"-5'11" next to Tony Blair. No crappy photo is going to make that go away.
Arnold DOESN'T look 5'10"-5'11" next to Harrison Ford at the Avatar premier. Arnold't DOESN'T look 5'10"-5'11" next to James Cameron. Those are way better photos and last I checked 3 beats 1. But you'll stay up all night searching obsessively for another "short" Arnold photo. In your little head you'll think that will simply cancel out the thousands of others you just ignore. Sorry buddy, life doesn't work that way. Lucio says on 4/Feb/10

Metric, in order to avoid bad figures like that with Reinsfeldt, i suggest you be less hasty and document yourself better next time. Lol
Here are restored proportions.
Arnold looks a strong 6'.05" and minimum 2 inches taller than Lowe here.

All i will say is unknown footing.
A better explanation can be derived by looking at the ceiling. This is a low angle shot, shooting up. It's not straight across like the other. By looking at how each is facing each other, Reeve is slightly closer to the camera. Arnold is a little more turned to face the front compared to Reeve which shows Reeve is slightly more in the foreground. A low angle shot will exaggerate any height differences. Even still, measuring by eye level and top height differences, Arnold still looks only 3 inches shorter there. Arnold's eye level is at the bottom of Reeves nose which is 3 inches. The bad upwards angle makes it appear much more. If it was a straight across shot where both were standing side by side with the same posture, Arnold would probably only be about 2 inches shorter there. samson27 says on 4/Feb/10
arnold always was average height or 6'0 tops max peak. BradMcKenzie says on 4/Feb/10
Metric: For f... sake! Give up your idiocrisy and trolling tendencies. You are here with an agenda without a doubt! You picked the one picture where no one knows if they are standing on level ground and make an entire conclusion? How about Rob Lowe being the one wearing lifts? He appears 2.5 - 3 inches shorter than Arnold in many pictures, but then he appears much closer to 6'2" Tom Arnold and 6'1" Arnold in another one. Visit the Rob Lowe page and it is well known that like Sly Stallone, he wears monster shoes. My God you are full of hatred, jealousy and possibly have an inferiority complex.
Rob Lowe with Arnold (Rob closer to camera, yet Arnold is clearly 2.5 - 3 inches taller than him):

Arnold with legit 6'2" Tom Arnold and Rob Lowe (in lifts). Oh wait, that means Tom Arnold must be short too.

If you want to see what type of shoes Arnold wears, this is a typical example where his foot is raised in the air with his socks exposed. Those shoes he wore in twins give on 0.6 - 1.0 of an inch maximum. They have a thin rubber sole:

Everyone knows you are here just to troll this website just out of sheer hatred, agenda or just to have some fun stirring the pot. The pictures you post make no sense yet, you completely ignore all of the mountain of evidence that favors Arnold being 6'1" + in his prime. There is a reason why Rob has not even changed it one bit over the year. Still, it is too difficult for it to get in your st***d th*ck head! Metric says on 4/Feb/10

CJ: That is ridiculous. You should think before you write. I have heard Fredrik is closer to 6'2" and you downgrade it to 5'10"?? WTF???
I should think before i write? didnt you read what i said FunkyM?I didnt downgrade anything about his height,i used the internet and thats was his listed height bar 1 or two 5ft 11in listed ones for him on all the written info i came across said,so i must of thought enough to check and cross reference enough height listings of his before writing that height,the way you replied in a way to me is semi insulting(well thats the way i perceived it) and a reason i steer clear of getting into written discussions on here and just leave it to posting pictures and let everyone else discuss.
So in other words dont insult me for sharing info widely available whether right or wrong and claim its ridiculous and telling me to think before i write and no I didnt downgrade his height 5ft10in "WTF??"did you read? jk, i said 5'10ū" as i said earlier thats what most of the written research i came across said,not my words,just passed on info.
God,didnt anyone read my 2/Feb/10 about comprmise for the good of discussion here instead of arguing (yeah i know i kinda argued back with my last few sentences there but atleast i comprimised with the Fredrik listings "whether right or wrong"comment and its info found on the web its not like i made up out of thin air,im open to hearing thing other whys but there are ways to write things without seeming like a ass about it.
I have always said i believe Arnie is still around the 6ft mark albeit aging and relaxed/poor posture may make him look less,peak height 6ft 1 and 1/2in as stated by Joe Weider in one of his books. GUY says on 3/Feb/10
Metric says on 3/Feb/10
Remember how the Twit pic showed Arnold wearing ridicoulusly built up clown shoes?? Looked like something out of Robert Downeys shoe cabinet lol. The pic was ignored by the fanboys with an almost eerie silence.
Dude is a lift monger. Plain and simple.
No, that pic wasn't ignored. It was discussed. What was ignored was your stupid logic that it somehow proved Arnold was ALWAYS a lift wearer even if a photo was 20, 30, 40 years old. That's what you were doing. Also it was never concluded they were ever "lifts" but probably just a chuncky stylish boot. Remember Arnold was wearing ordinary dress shoes and looked slightly taller than 6' Tony Blair. Your claim that "IF" Arnold was wearing lifts or even a chuncky shoe in your "twit pic" is not proof in claiming Arnold has to have been 5'10" or 5'11". The pic with Blair proves that is a plain wrong assumption. Do you understand this? Maybe I'll type a little slower for you. Arnold might have been 6' 1/2" in your pic but wanting to still look in the 6'2" range as he still does from time to time. Your photo proves nothing so don't come back in another month and claim no one gives you any attention. You could fill this entire page with posts and photos you've just ignored. Your entire argument and position here demands you ignore most of what everyone here brings. That's the only way your little dream in your little world can keep on existing. Hunke says on 3/Feb/10
Lol, Fredrik Reinfeldt is 189 cm what i have heard, so minimun 186 cm since he is taller then Obama, GUY says on 3/Feb/10
Lucio has shown that the evidence for Reinfeldt is at most inconclusive. I don't know about these 5'10 3/4" listings but it doesn't check out with cross reference to Blair and Obama. FunkyM says on 3/Feb/10
Rob G: Problem is Fredrik has a loose posture in every single picture. Look at the twist in his torso.
Look at Fredik walking beside Obama. He has a much loose posture than Obama and no hair volume because he is bald. Yet, Obama is shorter than Fredik. Obama is 6'1".
Fredrik as stated at many different places is closer to 6'2". FunkyM says on 3/Feb/10
CJ: That is ridiculous. You should think before you write. I have heard Fredrik is closer to 6'2" and you downgrade it to 5'10"?? WTF???
Looking at Metric jumping up and down with his "gotcha" politics without even investigation of what he reads is simply pathetic! Chaz says on 3/Feb/10
Anonymous,if Arnold was only 5'11''peak then Christopher Reeve must have been only 6'1.5'' I don't think so" Rob G says on 3/Feb/10
Lucio says on 2/Feb/10
As you can see from these photos, Fredrik Reinfeldt is tall MINIMUM 6'1.25"(186 cm), because do you explain me, Metric, how can a guy tall 180 cm (5' 10ū") to be taller than a legit 6'.00" as Tony Blair and taller than a strong 6'.1.25" (186 cm) Barak Obama?
Ha, yeah, you're absolutely right Lucio. Reinfeldt looks strong 6'1"ish in your pictures, 5'10.75" is impossible for him. So, Arnie looks 6'0"ish beside Reinfeldt. Cj says on 3/Feb/10
Lucio says on 2/Feb/10
Fredrik Reinfeldt tall 5'10ū" ????? But where do you come from a crap like this? Lol.
A google search gave me that and only that listed height for him,there wasnt much info on his height from what i could see.
Sorry,some poor spelling and 2 sentences appear twice for some reason in my 2/Feb/10 post. |
