I have met Barry Manilow back when I was in college. I am 5'8" and he was about 3 inches shorter than I am. So if he is over 6 feet I must be much taller than I thought. Unless he is wearing some serious stilts he is not more than about 5'5" or 5'5".

solid 183cm at the lowest Daniel says on 26/Sep/09
I met Barry Manilow backstage in 1987. I stand 6'1" and had to look up at him a little. He had changed into jeans, etc., and was wearing Reeboks, which don't add much height. My guess at the time was that he was 6'3" or maybe even 6'4". It suprised the heck out of me. Hugh 191cm says on 24/Sep/09
yeah just over 6ft. royston says on 12/Sep/09
Appeared just as tall as 6'1.5 Jonathan Ross. But Manilow's shoes seemed a little thick. 6ft for sure. Frank2 says on 10/Aug/09
Manilow is 5'11" and a stick. Josh says on 9/Aug/09
I agree with Doug, I've always though Barry Manilow was short around 5'5 or 5'6...but 5'5 and 5'6 isn't that short...just on the short side. Doug says on 21/Apr/09
LOL I could have sworn this guy was 5'5"! He looks like a short man! jonny says on 27/Mar/09
i really don't understand why people consider him to be short, but perhaps it is because he is narrow-shouldered. so, in a close up, it appears he has a small body, but in a long shot you see how lanky he really is Andrea says on 19/Feb/09
Barry's is certainly 6 feet tall with no shoes. During his concert "Music and Passion" before it was changed to "Ultimate Manilow" i sat in the first row and he is tall XD during the concert he might be 6'2 cause he wear the 2inch shoes. Don't forgot his crazy/spiky hair :P that make him look taller too :) Slice says on 19/Dec/08
Was standing at urinal next to him while he was humming and peeing. Weird...I know. He's definitely 6' or taller. I'm 6' and he seemed a little taller than I but he could have had some fancy high heeled boots on or something. Barbara Miller says on 12/Dec/08
I have seen the man dozens of times, no furthur back than second row. Definitly taller than 6' in stature, but when it comes to a heart of pure gold and the kindness of this man, he is as tall as the tallest mountain! Lain says on 23/Nov/08
Fan of many many years when I have been lucky enough to meet Barry a number of times and even sing with him on stage once ... yes, he is over 6 foot tall. Frank2 says on 30/Jul/08
I've met him and when I did we were eye-to-eye the same height. I'm 5'11". He used to frequent a model train store in LA. I also used to see Gary Coleman shopping there. Very short guy! Russ says on 15/Jul/08
I had a annual (1982), and in that it stated his height was 6'1. Brad says on 6/Jul/08
Saw him in Palm Springs with his, er um, lets say manager, he's 6' but starting to look like a Brooklyn doctor. Still sings like 1977, better actually. Imagine telling Bette & Barry working some dumpy club in '72 that Bette would be at Caesars & Barry on the stage Elvis hit at the Hilton in '08. Krysia says on 6/Oct/07
We've just come back from Las Vegas and were lucky enough to get front row seats at the Hilton Theater (fabulous show), He was about 3-4 feet away from us and only looked about 5'6" - 5'8". Perhaps because we were looking up at the stage it gave the appearance of him being shorter than he actually is. I though he had the figure of a teenage boy. foodjunkie says on 22/Aug/07
wow, i didn't know he was that tall... julie says on 3/Dec/06
saw him on x-factor uk, and he stands taller than Ben, who looks 5'11-6, so i'd assume mr manilow be around 6-6'1.. Brad says on 2/Dec/06
I'd accept that. My aunt sees him all the time in Palm Springs. He must jet to his shows in Vegas. SpiritDancing says on 20/Nov/06
Barry and I were in an acting class together in 1979-1980 with Nina Foch. I'm just barely under 6' in my naked feet. I remember when I met him, I had on short heels (dance character shoes -- maybe 1.5 inches) and we were looking eye to eye. He's definitely taller than I am. I'd say at close to 6'1" maybe a little taller. No lifts in his loafers either -- he kicked them off at one point. A VERY nice man too. library nerd says on 26/Sep/06
the guy is six foot, not taller.. Jennifer says on 24/Apr/06
Wow... I lost a bet on this one! I thought for sure he was small... :( Sue says on 18/Mar/06
I've been a Barry fan for 25 years and I still don't know how tall he is, I'm nearly 5' 11" and i think he tends to walk awkwardly because from personal experience I know that some tall people don't know what to do with their bodies. They can be very self consciousness. In his bio's his height is listed as between 6 and 6'2". I have seen him wear cuban heels however and high heeled cowboy boots which would cause some confusion! I think he did mention once that in his bare feet he's exactly six foot! Glenn says on 10/Mar/06
6 Feet Is Correct. Horatio says on 10/Mar/06
I saw this guy on TV, and he was wearing shoes with comically large heels. They looked like women's shoes. CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Aug/05
From Manilow newsgroup:
"I'm 6 feet tall..I stood next to him and had to look up to him..he has to be at least 6' 2" or so..not sure..just know I had to look up at him a little :)"
"This summer I was about 3 feet away from him at the Copa Gala Party in Pittsburgh and was surprised that we were not that different in height. I'm 5'7" so I'd say 6' is about right"
"Barry's definitely six foot....I'm 6'2" and when I sang Can't Smile with him, I kicked off my 3" heels (for obvious reasons!), and with his shoes on, we were near the same height (but I was still a bit taller)"
"Barry said in a TV interview in 1985 that he's 6' tall, and at that time weighed 140" Shannon says on 21/Feb/05
I saw him out shopping and it struck me how tall he really was (I had always thought he was short) he's about 6'3" or so. That's how tall my husband is and he (Barry) was as tall or taller than he was and very thin. |
