Guy was on Ellen, yesterday, and was not taller than her even with his thick shoes. Not even a little bit. He is 5'7".
Kaylene says on 5/Mar/10
Michael, I can't agree more. He's definitely 5'7, or even less. In The OC Mischa is always hunching her shoulders so that makes her a bit shorter and he is still shorter than her! You can see that! Michael says on 15/Feb/10
He look 5'7 to me, Mischa is not a solid 5'9 too, just because she is super thin, she appear to be taller. I re watched The OC last night, and dang he is shorter than me. :P marcus says on 29/Jan/10
he's definitely 5'8" same as mischa Anonymous says on 1/Oct/09
hes probably 5'8''......hes reaches 5'9'' with boots....im 5'8'' and i wear doc marten boots and im like 5'9.5'' in them...so yeah this guy is probably 5'8'' to 5'7.5''.....and peter wheres office shoes so he goes up to almost 5'10'' Daniel says on 21/Sep/09
5'7", no more. He looked so freaking short on The OC. I caught a few eps years back and kept thinking "How short is this guy?!" Mike says on 24/Aug/09
Haha, you are a complete numpty, 'Source'. This site infact gives a far more accurate representation of celebrities' heights than many others. It takes into account the different tenchniques people employ to make themselves appear taller (in particular, elevator shoes), thus giving a far more precise analysis of peoples height. Ben Mckenzie would very much like people like you to think of him as 5'9, but as it can be seen from many of the links posted on here and images you will find on the net, that he is infact between 5'7 and 5'8, as he wears height increasing boots, with his co-stars wearing flats.
PS - YOU are a ****ing joke. Source says on 23/Aug/09
Haha, this site is a ****ing joke. EVERY celebrity is lowered with at least one inch. He is without a doubt a 5'9 guy. leonari says on 17/Aug/09
Ben on Ellen.Both wearing flat sneakers. Barely a difference: Click Here
His 5'9" claim is a joke and I don't see more than 5'7.5 for this guy. On a good day. leonari says on 17/Aug/09

he's well build...he got a lot of muscules. if you train to erly (when you are not an adult yet) your bones don't grow anymore. thats probebly the reason why he's that short. he has start training to erly. when he wsn't grown up yet.that can be the reason why he didnt grow anymore. you can see it at the way he is build... Mike says on 4/Aug/09
Rob downgrade this guy please! Original says on 11/Jul/09
Click Here is 5'7.75 in my opinion. Anonymous says on 6/Jul/09
I think realistically this guy is no more than 5'7, but I think he does well to disguise it, with his posture, build and of course his shoes. I'm 5'8.5, but my slim/toned build and good posture, along with shoes which give me an invisible 2 inch lift, can make me look at least 5'10 and even pusing 5'11 ;) Plopsyjoe says on 2/Jul/09
He's definitely max 5'7, and that's on a good day. He lies about his height and wears lifts, giving a distorted view of how tall he really is. nath says on 28/Apr/09
hello does any1 know what make these boots ben wears in season 3/4?????
Click Here Rick says on 9/Apr/09
Definitely shorter than 5'8". look at how much shorter he is than 5'10.5 Adam Brody in Realme's pic, even with lifts. anonymous says on 7/Mar/09
rob im just a little curious... and i hope youll share your thoughts with me..
if ben mckenzie is really 5 8, then how is he still shorter(an inch maybe) than 5 9 barton when shes in flats and hes in those monster boots? this is visible in plenty of scenes where theyre standing side by side/face to face.. i just find it extremely hard to believe hes a full 5 8 Realme2008 says on 20/Feb/09
He's 5'7.5 or 5'8" at the tallest. The reason he looks so short is, because of his proportions and his build. He has the body proportions of a short man in the 5'7-5'7 1/2" range. Click Here
Pay attention to his shoes in the second picture, because those are some obvious lifts: Click Here
I think Rob is being a little generous with his height listing actually, because he looks below 5'8". Here is next to 5'9" Peter Gallagher: Click Here Sara McKenzie says on 19/Feb/09
Ive always been barely shorter than Ben and I'm 5'8. Even though that's tall for a girl Ben is about a half an inch taller than me and is about average height for a man. jim says on 21/Jan/09
who knows what boots he wears in season 3??

do you think they give him as much lift as those loggers? leonari says on 16/Dec/08
Source: you're off he never looks that tall. He would look 5'11 in those boots and as tall as Adam Brody who was wearing the flatest shoes on O.C. Sorry bro the guy is max 5'8". Source says on 16/Dec/08
Think he's 5'9. Think people often misstaken 5'9 people for 5'8. Gabriel says on 6/Dec/08
he was taller than 5'6" al pacino in 88 minutes i agree hes about 5'8" hes a medium height Tom says on 12/Nov/08
DAvid: if you really are his cousin (i doubt that), it makes sense that u make ben taller...he probably asked u to do it.. Emilie says on 7/Nov/08
I think Mischa is definitely around 5ft 9. It's hard to tell exactly how to tall Ben is as everybody has already pointed out he always seems to wear boots whereas Mischa only ever wears flats. Anton says on 3/Nov/08
Hello,I found a good scene to judge he's height, check out episode #10 of the O.C.'s first season, "the perfect couple" there is a scene where Mischa is wearing 1/2" sandals and Ben is not wearing shoes, if Mischa is 5'9" Ben can easily be 5'9" or at the very least 5'8.5" miser says on 30/Oct/08
maybe it is because Mischa Barton is at the very best 5-8, more likely 5-7. anonymous says on 22/Oct/08
and honestly how is he 5 8?? even with those huge boots he barely scrapes scrapes mischa barton's height even when shes in flats and slouching... Johnny says on 19/Oct/08
I am Ben's second cousin and I say Ben's first cousin lies! David says on 12/Oct/08
I am Ben's first cousin and he is about 5'9 to 5'10 and also is extremely
muscular and athletic. I am 6'2 , and he is not small. tom says on 30/Aug/08
5ft7 tops. He wears huge heels poop says on 21/Aug/08
I don't think he's that tall. Around 1.68-1.72. David Archuleta is 5'5-5'6 and he looks quite tall at times...I am 5'5 (16 year old..yeah..short..but my brother is 15-years old and he's 180cm...) and sometimes I can be seen being just 5cm shorter by my 177-180cm friends. kirk says on 6/Jul/08
so... for everybody who wants to know what boots ben wears... im 100 % sure he wears "Cove Double Tuff Men's 8" Steel Toe Logger Boot" ... the add 1 3/4 " ericj says on 2/Jul/08
its almost kinda ridiculous when i think about it. ericj says on 2/Jul/08
so if this guy is only 5'8 (or less). Exactly how much is he packing in his shoes? I mean if he can look almost as tall as brody, what do you guys think his heel height is? mehm says on 3/Jun/08
tom s picture has a bad perspective i think. Adam Brody is like 15 cm. taller than him. no way Random #2 says on 31/May/08
5 8 for this guy? seriously? someone needs to take a look at that picture tom's linked... theres no way ben mckenzie's 5 ft 8 when hes that small in that picture even next to 5 9 peter gallagher Random Person says on 27/May/08
Ummm actually, that picture that Tom posted is quite surpsing. He's actually looking 5'5" next to Adam Brody. He really can't be *that* short, can he? Nonethless, I saw 5'8" is out the question at this point. More 5'7". Boots can do wonders. Melinda says on 20/May/08
I think he's 5'7.5". It was almost laughable picking up on the crew's effort to create the illusion that he was taller than Mischa on the O.C. She was always in flats (even her boots were flat-healed), standing a few inches farther back, and hunching over. Oh well, he's still got a well-muscled physique to work with ;) robbie says on 11/May/08
he cannot be 5'8 ..if mischa is 5'9..as what you've listed..
he wears big heeled shoes and mischa in flats are pretty much of the same height..so i would say 5'7(168-170) Bosco says on 2/Mar/08
metalmaster, I agree with you..he's only 5'7 and 5'7.05 at his best...
5ˇ9 in the boots he always wears maybe 5'9.05 pushing 5'10
barefoot, 5'7 mehm says on 27/Feb/08

They all stand on flat and even ground. it also seems, that the camera angle is straight and does not cause confusion here. Everyone's footwear is visible.
Ben wears his boots and is still a lot shorter than adam. I think Adam is a steady 5'10.5. And I can't help myself but according to this pic I would say Ben is max 5'7.5.. And he is also shorter than peter gallagher...
never thought he is such a dwarf Sam says on 4/Jan/08
accually mckenzie is more like 5'7-5'8 compared to peter gallagher , gallagher's got at least 2 inches on him. plus ben wears those boots to increase his height, this pic is hard to tell: http:/theoconline.com/images/centergraphic5 , but i'd say peter is about 5'9 and mckenzie is 5'7-5'8. chris175 says on 3/Dec/07
i think he is about 5 feet 8 barefoot, he seems to wear a big heel aswell, max 5 feet 8 Lara says on 2/Dec/07
Has anyone seen 88 minutes? Ben is taller than Al Pacino. So what? Al Pacino is a hell of an actor. It is not the size that matters! Besides I am slightley 5'4" and I never wear high heels. Mr.Schenkkan a little more confidence! Robe says on 11/Nov/07

LMAO LOOK AT THAT.
he looks a whole 5 inches shorter than adam , maybe someone forgot his heels ? dude says on 11/Nov/07
Doeas anybody know what boots mckenzie wears? I mean the ones he wears from the midle of season 1 until the end of season 2. That one: Click Here tehlangy says on 7/Oct/07
for sure ben is shorter than gallagher by at least 2cm so i'd say he's 173cm or 5'8''. must be the boots he wears that make him look a tad taller, i'd like to see him in a pair of chuck taylor's standing next to adam brody maybe then we could tell his height better? :P mehm says on 29/Sep/07
as you agree ben is smaller than peter gallagher, but its a big shock to me because in the pilot episode of the OC he looks at worst as tall as 175 176 peter gallagher. maybe he tells the truth about his height. whay do you say?
this is what im talking about:
Click Here jebus. says on 7/Sep/07
k, im sorry. but no. i don't care if he is lying about his height in some degree. but that pic from global with him and the rest of the four can literally sum it up. he can be 5'4'' for all i care, but mischa is slunching down from her full height by an inch. her back isn't curved to the point to dramatically lower your height and she has one of her legs LOCKED. when you lock your leg and you arent double jointed in the knee you arent losing more than a centimetre or two of height. she basically loses a bit more than an inch. id say 1.5 to please you people. ben is around 2 inches taller than her at that point with him standing straight with his head bent. that basically cancels mischas slouching back. his hair may add a little bit because of volume. but the "evidence" is there. brody is 5'11'' or close, and he looks almost 2 inches taller than ben. let it go. the boots help obviously, but depending on shots and the actions either actors are doing, on can look taller than the other. this screen shot has them basically standing still. its the best judge and it works.
ugh. AAAA says on 6/Sep/07
I have similar boots to the one in the firts pic kirk posted. They are frye's harness boot and add about 1.5 inches fresh out of tthe box. Mine make me 6'3.5. The look like a 2in heel, only because the heel is cut out, similar to a cowboy boot Anna says on 3/Sep/07
It's hard for me to see what it says about the boots kirk, can you post what the caption says? Leung says on 7/Aug/07
kirk, those boots are so ugly that Adam Brody is ashamed to be photographed next to Ben.
Ben McKenzie has said that he wished he was taller, saying that he thought 6’ was perfect height. kirk says on 6/Aug/07
why does everybody found those boots so ugly??? i like them! and by the way... i don't think ben has a problem with his height... in one interview he says he has the perfect height... and i also think he's 5'7''... and the argument "he looks small because he is muscular" is crap... he has very narrow shoulders what should look him even taller! MarkMark says on 1/Aug/07
Mehm's pic has the answer. He's wearing shoes with a huge 4cm heel, also he's standing much closer to the camera (this is often ignored in pics) and still looks 3 inches shorter than Adam.
He can't be above 5'7". leonari says on 23/Jun/07
same frame as Whalberg. Still amazed people think these guys are of real average heights. They are not. Both are 5'8" MAX. If Ben was as tall as 5'9" which he is not he would look around Brodys height with his huge ass heeled boots but there is never ever as single shot where these two look the same height and Brody is always in converse or very flat shoe. Get real people!! They use all tricks to dimish the huge gap between Mischa and Ben. mehm says on 2/Jun/07
not a single episode but totally ben looks taller in the 4. season. i think he wakes up just before his filming but others not. that is the explonation . right Bombay Rocker says on 22/May/07
Hey sorry guys, that was me who posted that last post, i dont know what happ but my nick changed to anonymous on its own...anyways just wanted to let you guys know my opinion. Anonymous says on 21/May/07
Ben might be 170 - 172, look at his pics on getty with another actor whose listed as 5 feet 9 here and he looks easily 4 - 5 cms shorter than him and besides if that's true then mischa is probably more 5 feet 10 - 5 feet 10.5, which also seems fair and the fact that he is a little height counscious makes me believe that when he said he is 5 feet 9, he was rounding up. One more thing his official myspace says 175 cms. anna says on 19/May/07
There is just absolutely no way that Ben is only 1.5 inches shorter than Mischa. In the show, she is 1 to 2 inches taller than him and that's when he wears those crazy shoes and she wears flats. He's 5'7"/5'8" and she is 5'11"/5'11.5". mehm says on 14/May/07

he is not with sb. but he looks solid 1.75-76 here. maybe more
Click Here Astrid says on 5/May/07
Yes Bombay Rocker, Mischa is tall. Three inches - or three and a half - is a HUGE difference. I'd know, because my mum is 5'7", and I'm 5'9.5, possibly 5'9.75. If I slouch, there is still a much more noticeable difference than the small difference between Ben and Mischa's heights on the OC. And if we are both stand up straight, there is a noticeable near-three inch difference. I find it incredibly hard to believe that he's any shorter than 5'8". Bombay Rocker says on 26/Apr/07
Astrid i totally agree with you. He certainly is no shorter than 173, he is a very strong 174, 173 at the very very least. Mischa does look pretty taller than him cause he looks about an inch shorter after wearing 2 inch heels and she wears practically nothing and we all know that mischa is more 5 feet 11 - 5 feet 11.5, even rob knows it. If he was as short as 5 feet 7, he will look abnormally short and he certainly looks normal. Astrid says on 25/Apr/07
How do we know he wears lifts? Yeah his boots are chunky, but I watched (and still do watch) the OC religiously, and in a couple of episodes he's barefoot next to Adam (also barefoot). He's about 2.5 - 3 inches shorter, which would make him at 5'8.5" - 5'8".
I honestly do not think he's any shorter than that. Mischa is about 5'10", and she doesn't tower over him. radio_man says on 4/Apr/07
nop, adam is taller than her..I think she's only 5'9 and bombay rocker..Ben wears lifts!! is os ovious and visible!!lol..
he's only 5'7 tops, there's no way he's taller than that and misch 181cm?? no way!!
if she's 181, why in events when she wears like 5 to 8 cm heels she still shortter o r the sdame height of adam brody??
get real!, she's 5'9 no taller than that and ben I'm sticking to 5'7, and other thing most celebs that claim to be 5'0 are only 5'7 or 5'6 for example, tom cruise and jason priestley Leung says on 2/Apr/07
I reckon that if they were both barefoot and standing upright then Mischa would have Ben beat by 3 inches. Bombay Rocker says on 2/Apr/07
Cmon man he looks atleast 2 inches shorter than her and i am sure she is like 181, so that makes him 177 - his shoie heels which are 4 cm minimum, making him 172 + mischas shoe which has maybe 2 cm, so making him 174 but i still think 173 is correct radio_man says on 2/Apr/07
mehm, you forgot the fact that ben wears lifts all the time!!!
in the pic he looks 5'9 exactly like mischa who's wearing flats..
Ben:5'7 tops
Mishca: 5'9 tops!! and I think she's not taller than that, she can look taller sometimes cause she's toooo skinny
Adam: 5'11, but in that pic he only look 5'10
Rachel: like 5'1 , she's so tiny!! mehm says on 1/Apr/07
what about that picture then. he's obviously as tal as mischa so it makes him 5'9.5 at least
Click Here radio_man says on 30/Mar/07
anna..
I think mischa it's 5'9 tops and he with his big boots with 2 0r 3 inches is still shorter..
son dont you think he's 5'6? maybe 5'7 tops! radio_man says on 29/Mar/07
this guy its 5'6 5'7 tops his legs are too short and hi shoulder..dont know, bue this guy int's not 5'8, he always wears lifts or big boots in the oc, it's perfectly noticeable...Ben it's 5'6 AA says on 28/Mar/07
That's a "rule" in Hollywood. The leading man always has to be the tallest of the cast (except on Comedy, that the character is most of times a dorky freak, so he can be 5'10" or less)
That way, Ben is 5'8" and I think Mischa is 5'10.5". She's REALLY tall and her romantic pair has to be taller, so Ben wears heeled boots that makes him almost as big as 5'11" Adam Brody. Bombay Rocker says on 22/Mar/07
Noways 171.5, this guy is atleast 174 maybe even 175. Just because he wears big heels doesn't mean he is a midget. He looks average to me but since he is all muscly he can come across shorter than he is but i dont think that's the case with me since his body is very proportionate and he's not big and is slim so my bet is 174 - 175, I think when he claimed 5 feet 9 he wasnt lying. what say rob? Mark says on 21/Mar/07
My guess is 171.5cm. At times he's barely any taller than 5'7" Kelly Rowan. Leung says on 15/Mar/07
The O.C. is terrible for comparing the heights of Mischa and Ben.
In The O.C. they put Mischa in flat ‘barely there’ footwear and she’s always slouching and bending her knees to minimise her height, on the other hand Ben wears big chunky ‘man heels’ to try to make him look taller.
Mischa is easily taller than Ben, she’s got him beat by 2-3 inches. Astrid says on 15/Mar/07
In the Season 1.04 Episode (The Debut), Ben and Adam are BOTH wearing SNEAKERS at the Cotillion rehearsal. If I find a decent screenshot I'll post it.... Global says on 14/Mar/07
Ok Anna, but mischa is not 4 inches taller mckenzie max 1 inches...
mischa is militar posture..
sorry for bad english statto says on 9/Mar/07

That driver's license doesn't prove anything. I bet that He'd put 5'10'' to his license, if he'd really be 5'9''. I would trust a medical record/military record those are usually accurate measured barefeet. Brah says on 7/Mar/07
A driver's license doesn't prove anything though. You can put down any height on your driver's license. I know 5'7" guys who put 5'9" down on theirs. The DMV doesn't check or care. Astrid says on 7/Mar/07

Astrid: bull..sorry bull.Gallagher is always taller than Ben but he wears regular dress shoes compared to Ben who 99 percent of the time wears Big soled, heel shoes...how can he be 5`9"? he is lucky if he is 5`7.5" duri the day... interested, uk says on 13/Feb/07
Hey Astrid. Sorry, got to disagree with you on 5'9" for Ben. Peter Gallagher is 5'9" at best as most of us have already agreed. Ben is smaller by 1 inch at the very least. Astrid says on 12/Feb/07
I think Ben is 5'9", Mischa is 5'10".
I've seen numerous screenshots of them both next to each other. There is a scene in an episode (can't remember which one, sorry) where Ben takes his shoes off as Adam comes through the door of the pool house. Adam (wearing dress shoes) is apparently 5'11", and looked about 2 inches taller that Ben (barefooted). If I find a screenshot of this, I will post it. interested, uk says on 23/Jan/07
The oc, season 4, episode 11: Ben and Rachael Bilson [5"1.5] are in the kitchen in one scene. Using the 'four and a half inch' rule from brow to top of head, Ben looks approx 5"6 when comparing him directly with Rachael. I think you could be generous his way and give an extra 1".5, making him an even 5"7.5 on a really good day. Response welcome on this one if you see the scene. mehm says on 22/Jan/07
He looks about 5'8". In the entrance when he and mischa at the beach house,they look nearly the same height. Maybe Mischa is 1-1.5 inch taller than him because of leaning a bit forward. So no way he is under 5'8". Leung says on 14/Jan/07
It’s very funny that on the OC they had 6’3” Kevin Sorbo as his dad because it was a huge mismatch. There was a scene at the end of an episode where they hugged and Ben was standing on a step so that he could reach Kevin. ally jade says on 11/Jan/07
I think Ben would be around 5,8 to 5,9.I definately don't think mischa would be 5,11 to that person who said that,below.she would be about 5,9. anonymous says on 8/Jan/07
I don't know I think he looks more like an inch shorter than Alexander. I would say 5'7. JT says on 6/Jan/07
I think he is around 5'6, maybe 5,8 or 9 with shoes with the high heel. In the first season of the OC his character was always wearing those huge ass work boots that have the three inch heel in the back, and in all the publicity shots early on they always make sure he is in the foreground or standing on something to elevate him. Thomas says on 25/Dec/06
Well I also think, that the last episode of the 3rd season is a perfect way to measure their heights. Mischa is certainly taller than Ben. I guess 5'8 for Ben and 5'10 maybe 5'9.75 for Mischa fits. No way ben is 5'7. If you look at the pics from john where ben and adam are in florida, and we assume adam is 5'11 the 5'8 for ben are pretty exact. Shiblamo says on 30/Nov/06
ok.. he's 5'7 - 5'8. lets stop bickering over an inch. jeese luize. Hes a small guy like me. He probably weighs like 155 - 170. thats it. no more talking! AA says on 18/Nov/06
Mischa is definetely taller than him... I believe she's around 5'10"... that puts Ben at 5'8"-9" ralph says on 16/Nov/06
Mischa Barton was listed at 5'8" because they wanted to make Ben taller than her. Mischa is 5'10"-5'10.5", as you can see in that pic with 6'1" maria sharapova. Anonymous says on 8/Nov/06
I reckon McKenzie is about 5'5 or 5'6 Paul says on 20/Oct/06
Mischa is 5'7.5, McKenzie is 5'5 and Adam Brody is 5'10. No way that this guy is 5'8. Nearly all Hollywood actors are "height overrated". mous says on 17/Sep/06
wow, look at Height Dectective's picture there. I have never seen such height on a sole of a shoe for a male. If you can see light shining from the opposite side of the shoe hitting the floor beneath the shoe, then that is way too much lift. Doesn't look normal; more like high heels. Hey, I bet it would be easy to rob this guy - take his wallet, since if you grab and run, he won't be able to catch you in those shoes. He'll just stand there like he's stuck in the mud. derbi says on 15/Sep/06
ben wears 2 inch boots and mischa just flats which are giving her almost nothing. But also with that footwear they look about same height, so I think ben has to be downgraded... em says on 13/Sep/06
mischa barton is taller than ben mckenzie when she is wearing FLATS and when he is wearing shoes that have atleast an inch HEEL - she is supposebly 5'7"... so one of them is lying! mous says on 7/Sep/06
Average U.S. White Male height is now 5'10.2" NHANES survey conducted in 1999-2002.
I believe it is simply an illusion that a 6 footer can look 6'2", simply because those shorter misjudge how tall a person is, when they are much shorter themselves. The closer you are to 6' yourself, the better judge of height you are near others that are around 6'+/-, and since average white male height is only off by less than 2 inches, most people can judge fairly well (except clueless people). mous says on 4/Sep/06
Ben thinks 6' is the perfect height. His vision of height is completely skewed. 6'2" is now the perfect height (for males). People are growing taller everyday. 6' is just a lil' bit above average now. :( anonymous says on 24/Aug/06
I would diagree that muscular guys look taller. I usually find they look shorter than they are because of their thicker body. Anyways, I agree that he is probably around 5'7 or 5'8. Lmeister says on 24/Aug/06
I think he is in the 5'7''-5'8'' range. I'm a weak 5'8'' myself and weigh about 170 pounds. I'm the same size as Ben. Sometimes people think that I'm around 5'6'' and some say that I look like 5'10''. It really depends a lot of ones footwear and posture. bill says on 8/Aug/06
You can tell by the show that he's on the short side. 5'8 is not exactly short. 5'7 is short. I'm 5'7 but people always say I look in the 5'8-5'9 range. Some people's perception of height is poor and mislead. Especially if someone has a muscular build like me or Benjamin Mckenzie. (Or Stallone for that matter) MD says on 6/Aug/06
I don't think he looks that short. I'd originally thought he wasn't anything more than 5'7" which is short, to me. bill says on 4/Aug/06
Anywhere between 5'7 and 5'8 I would say. I don't think there has ever been a SHORT moviestar be honest about his height other than Dennis Hoffman. THey ALL add at least 2 inches. In Stallone's case, 3 inches.
175-77cm17andgrowing says on 11/Jun/06
Yeah, he's small. But one thing you have to admit is that hes very built and that can make gim look taller. I still say 5'9'', maybe he's slouching a little. See, he says he's 170lbs and I believe him now. He's very built. He does sit-ups I guess and I KNOW that you're slouching a little then because your abs hurt. You also get some back problems and that's why. Now his feet are thicker than they were in the first 2 seasons but he still looks great. Anonymous says on 27/Apr/06
The scene at the beach hut in bare feet is actually very revealing - Mischa is slid a little down the wall and is slouching, McKenzie is standing as tall as possible. She is definately around 2 inches taller. Bronwen says on 26/Apr/06
I searched and found the the pic you mean. They look the same size and both have bare feet like you said. True...true...true. radio_man says on 25/Apr/06
he`s 5`7 no dount, in the Oc he wear elevator shoes however Mischa barton (175Cm)wears normal shoes and they are the same height (with elevator shoes wearing mckenzie) Nina says on 10/Apr/06
do what??. i saw an episode a few weeks ago where you could perfectly see he´s taller than 175cm
175-77cm17andgrowing says on 5/Apr/06
Please do that. So everyone sees Ben is 5'8.5'' or 5'9''. Pippa says on 3/Apr/06
I have reserved judgement until I saw an episode where both Mischa and Ben were in bare feet for all the world to see. Proof for all. An episode where they are kissing in a beach hut. They are the SAME height. I can direct everyone to a website that has episode clips. Even surface both standing straight - She is very slim and he has a great physique. No trick photography . Bryant says on 24/Mar/06
From everything I have seen, I would say pretty definitively that he is 5'8". I am about 5'7" myself and he looks about an inch taller than me. His boots make him seem taller than he is, and he probably exaggerated with the "I'm 5'9"" claim, but he's definitely not shorter than 5'7.5" or taller than 5'9". Mari says on 24/Mar/06
I also think Ben is 5'8 or maybe even a little bit shorter. And he definitely tries to look taller with those big shoes.
I've noticed especially that in events with the cast he tends to stand next to Rachel Bilson...that kind of bothers me because I want to see Rachel next to Adam!!!!! I love them together :-) But Ben wants to look tall! Anybody can look tall next to Rachel, LOL Joy says on 23/Mar/06
Ben looks 5` 8 to me. Strong build. My sons are 6`2(and still growing) and 5`9. I`m 5`5 their Dad is 5`11.They weigh the same and share clothes. Genetics eh!!! Belle says on 23/Mar/06
If this guy was slimmer he would look taller. He is muscley. Long faces and high foreheads always make people taller. He has a very cute rounder face. He in my opinion is around 5`8`. No shortage of female fans either. Gorgeous. bikagyura says on 22/Mar/06
5' 8˝ sounds right... at least wouldn't say he's any taller than that jasna says on 8/Mar/06
i think 172cm if he took off his huge shoes and mischa took of her flats she would easily be 1 inch taller cause he's like 1cm taller than her in his ginormous shoes while she wears the flatest flats.And he always looks 3 inches shorter than 5ft 11 adam brody Joson says on 22/Feb/06
I don't think so Piper. Ben has the napoleon complex - has to exagerate other areas to offset his shortness. He may not be stuck up, but he has NC! Piper Dickson says on 7/Feb/06
Ben is so hot I loved him in june bug and love watching him in the OC he is such a good actor I like him because he really touches my heart when he acts he is very moving the way he is on the tv he as a great big loveable heart and he has great passion for what he dose is is very talented and another thing I like about him is that he is no stuck up or think that he is better than every body he is the most unselfish person i think any ways i love ben for what he is and for what he dose thank you and God Bless PiperDickson from Perkins ok Thomas says on 22/Jan/06
I think he is close to 5'8", max 5'8.5". No way he is 5'9" ! At the picture where Ben stands close to Adam Brody (5.11) in Florida at that weird game, he looks a lot shorter.
I mean almost every man who is unsatisfied with his height lies about it an adds 1 inch. 175cm16andgrowing says on 21/Jan/06
But Brandon Lee was 5'11''-6' and weighed around 180 I read. What do you say?
IMO Dacascos and Lee are lookalikes and were the best "Crows". McKenzie sometimes looks as tallas Brody... same footwear... both smaller than Barton in heels... does Brody also wear lifts? He looks 5'10'' I'd say. Bakane says on 21/Jan/06
Dacascos and Mckenzie, can't be compare.
Not the same body not the same training.
Mckenzie looks to be a "natural born strong" and probably do body building.
Dacascos is a martial artist, he probably didn't work out to gain muscles, it came with martial training. He's got a condition similar to Bruce Lee, and Lee, before he died, was around 120 lbs (true !!!) and was very proud it.
175cm16andgrowing says on 20/Jan/06
Thanks. And I thought he would be far under the 170... he wished he was taller. So if he's 5'9'' or 5'8.5'' he probably's really 170lbs. What again doesn't speak for Pitt and 155lbs... man, that's a debate!
It was hard to imagine that McKenzie could be that "small" and that "heavy" because Marc Dacascos is 5'9'' and has 155lbs, sometimes 10 more and sometimes 10 less. But the guy is so ripped and muscle. Bakane says on 20/Jan/06
@175cm16andgrowing : To answer your question about his weight, first of all, I don't know this guy and this show :) (I remember you I am french !!)
But with the pics i saw on google, I can say if he's 5'7" as you may think, he can't be under 70 kilos (154 pounds) He looks to have an heavy bone structure, he looks muscular but with a little fat... So I would say around 72 kilos (160 pounds) is a good gess. anonymous says on 4/Jan/06
I don't think he is as short as 5'5. Most people who have claimed to see him in real life guess he's around 5'7 and that looks right to me. 175cm16andgrowing says on 3/Jan/06
He said he's 5'9'', just look up. He's listed as 5'9'' everywhere though we know his footwear but when wearing his "heels" he'S sometimes nearly as tall as Adam Brody who also wears shoes. Mischa said herself she's 172cm and after that people said she has to be taller, than she admitted "yes, maybe a little bit" and Mischa isn't 25 yet so she can still grow. Anonymous says on 3/Jan/06
This guy even says he's 5'7'. Why inflate so much. It's rediculous. I have seen him in TX where he is from and he is tiny. And Mischa is only 5'7" too. The height inflation is kinda weird on this site. There is a lot of it. Like Owen Wilson. Know him fairly well through family and he is a short dude. Like 5'8". Not what you have him as here. Weird. 175cm16andgrowing says on 2/Jan/06
Well... I am also kinda muscle, I am 5'9'' and I weigh 140lbs and I'm a guy... male star, yes :D. anonymous says on 1/Jan/06
I think male stars are less concerned with their weight than they are their height. He looks fairly muscular and compact to me. I would buy him weighing 170. He definately not small as 140. I would guess his height as being about 5'7 maybe 5'8. 175cm16andgrowing says on 28/Dec/05
Perhaps you're right but I don't think so. He has skinny legs and he looks like... 160lbs max if he'S 5'9''. I think 5'7'' may be correct, just as I think 140lbs could be correct. Do stars just lie about their height? Don't they also lie about their weight? MD says on 8/Dec/05
Looking at him, 170lbs wouldn't be out of the question at 5'8" or even 5'7" IMO. He's a pretty stocky guy. He just doesn't look the 5'9" be claims unless he's in those big boots. 175cm16andgrowing says on 7/Dec/05
The guy weighs 170lbs, he has to be 5'9''. Either the weight isn't correct or the height isn't he says he has. cj says on 5/Dec/05
ben mckenzie is abt 5'7 and NOT the 5'9 which he claims to be. He wears like 5cm boots in the oc which yea makes him abt 5'9 but barefoot, i dont think so. He is even shorter than mischa barton who is wearing flats all the time and she is being listed as 5'8. anonymous says on 4/Nov/05
Someone on Mischa Bartton's thread claims they know Ben and that he is 5'7. Kat says on 24/Oct/05
In reply to anonymous.Actuually I didn't say his boots were 1 or 3/4 inches. I said they were at least 1 and 3/4 inches. Anonymous says on 22/Oct/05
say mischa is 174 or 175cm, at the most, she wears her flat 1cm ballet shoes, while ben wears like a 4-5cm boot, yet she is still taller then him. So if shes still about 2cm taller then him, he would be at MOST 170cm, more likely just under. Which works out to be like 5'7" or 5'6.75" which would start to justify while people who have see him say he is small as under 170cm is regarded as below average height. As for his boots only being like 3/4 or 1 inch, thats only 2.5cm, a regular shoe gives that much, and a big boot like his gives double that. Kat says on 16/Oct/05
He usually wears boots. I think most of his boots have heels that are around at least 1 and 3/4 inches. Anonymous says on 15/Oct/05
anyone know what kind of shoes ben always wears on the OC? anonymous says on 28/Sep/05
I remember someone from the television without pity forums met him and said he was taller than 5'7. I've heard so many conflicting reports about his height. I really don't think he's shorter than 5'7 though. However, I definately think he's shorter than 5'9. On the last episode of the O.C. he and Mischa Barton appeared very close in height. In one scene she looked to be taller than him and she was not wearing heels.
[Editor Rob: he's going to appear a bit taller when he's in those 1.8 inch doc martin type boots...] x&y says on 27/Sep/05
humm... the person in the forum said he was about 5'7 shooting The OC...and we must remind that he always use boots and heels in his shoes... so.. he must be shroter than that CelebHeights Editor says on 27/Sep/05
From TalkCSI forum, "Later, we did a scene at the bar with Ben Mackenzie and I got to talk to him for a few seconds. He's so shy. He didn't hardly talk at all, but he was a sweetheart. And he's only about 5'7" tall!! I was so surprised (I'm 5'9" and he was shorter than me!)." BR says on 18/Sep/05

After reading the article posted in a link in which he comments that his 'shortness' (right from his own mouth) is what is 'sexy' about him, I can conclude that this dude has a serious complex about his height. The boots. The mention of it in many interviews. It speaks for itself. He's has to be shorter than 5'8.5" because why is he always mentioning his lack of height? Also, from just observation, many shortish guy say they're 5'9". (i.e. Katie Holmes' "boyfriend" ;-) )
anonymous says on 2/Aug/05
In a recent article a guy who interviewed him commented that he looked shorter than 5 foot 9. I'd say he'as about 5'7 or 5'8. I highly doubt he's shorter than 5 foot 6. Mr. X says on 6/Jul/05
I think Benjiman McKenzie is 5'9" when he has those shoes that he wears on the show on, but doesn't want to admit that if he and Mischa Barton ever stood together bare foot, he'll be slightly shorter than the 5'8" Barton. leonari says on 27/Jun/05
Yes you're right he is wearing regular shoes...and...clearly 3 to 4 iches smaller than Adam Brody whi ain't more than 5'11"...case closed. The guy is between 5'7 and 5'8 abolute max!! john says on 27/Jun/05
actually there is one episode in season 2 where the he and seth are in florida at the retirement home playing the game. both of them are wearing sneakers
[Editor Rob: return of the nana - few images on that page I think] leonari says on 25/Jun/05
JOSH thank you! Finally somebody agreeing and mentining that Mischa wears 70 % of the time ballerina shoes which have barely 0.5 inch heel. I totally agree with you. This guy is 5'7.5 max. Period. Not a single episode where he is wearing sneakers... or other shoes that these stupid loking platform boots where you can also hide another 1-2 inches of lifts. Isn't that strange???? It's hot in L.A... Josh says on 24/Jun/05
I think he is 5'9 (175cm)with his boots but without them he must be 5'7.5 (171cm) and mischa looks 5'8.5 (174cm) next to him with her flat ballerina type shoes. Lmeister says on 9/Jun/05
The more is see this guy the more I think he is not 5'8''. I can prove it to U. First of all Peter Gallagher (5'9.5'')is wearing rather high heeled shoes and so does Mr.McKenzie so we don't have to think about the shoe factor while comparing these guys. Just watch an episode of O.C. and U will see that Ben is around 2 inches shorter than Peter, if he'd be only 1.25 inches shorter U'd barely notice it. This leads to simple calculation 5'9.5''- 2''= 5'7.5'' leonari says on 7/Jun/05
Thanks for agreeing guys. I 'm so convinced that this guy is a bit below 5'8" is also that his body looks very similar to mine. He is quite bulky and muscular. Adam Brody is always wearing extremely flat shoes and if Mischa Barton if wearing heels which are barely "real" female stiletto high heels(I consider real female heels like 2,5-3 inches at least). I am convinced this guy is 5'7.5 MAX! KJ says on 7/Jun/05
I'd say Ben is at least 5'7.5 But wears like 2 inch lifts on the show to look the same height as Adam leonari says on 6/Jun/05
Sorry but it seems as if I'm always the guy pointig out the 5'7" club members! NEVER ever stands this guy 5'9 nor 5'8.5 nor 5'8". Why would they make him wear these ugly big heeled shoes on a sitcom...On O.C he is always wearing them. Never a sneaker or a regular shoe. Get real and accept that this guy is 5'7.5", all his physical features indicate that and since I am in this height category myself and I am a huge movie and sitcom fan my eye is trained to detect these guys who are a bit below average. Lmeister says on 5/Jun/05
Hmm. I don't think he is really a tiny guy. I also have rather short legs like Ben and ppl usually think that I'm shorter than my morning measured height which happens to be exactly 5'8''(1.7272 m)...I think he is around 5'7.5''- 5'9'' based on O.C.
[Editor Rob: ok, I watched another episode and the amount of times Mischa is in 0.5cm 'ballerina type shoes' versus Mckenzie's 1.75 juggernaut doc martin's leads me to think he's more 173 and barton is truly 175.] Nico says on 5/Jun/05
There is NO WAY Ben McKenzie is 5'9" or even 5'8" for that matter. His body, especially his legs, are just way too short overall. Unless he has most of his height in his torso and not his legs. Also, on an episode of MTV's PoWerGirls, Lizzie Grubman and her assistants sit around the morning after a club opening for which they all worked the door and one girl said "Ben McKenzie is SO TINY!" And the other girls all agreed. Would a girl really say a guy is TINY if he is almost 5'9", especially if Ben wore dress shoes out that night, which would've given him at least another inch? No way. emma says on 4/Jun/05
then adam brody is 180 , right?
[Editor Rob: this is the thing...I watched another episode and to me miksha is taller very slightly, but ben also has advantage with big stupid boots of his...I think this guy wants to be 5ft 9 but is under...] NewportChick says on 3/Jun/05
No Ben is taller or the same height as Mischa! He's 174 and she's 173. CelebHeights Editor says on 17/Mar/05
Argh, I lost the image...there was a great photo of Ben sitting down by the pool wearing 2-inch heeled doc marten type boots. He does force himself to stand as tall as possible...I don't know, maybe I'm underestimating him and he's truly walking tall at 175cm ;) guest says on 17/Mar/05
he is definately shorter than 5'8.
in o.c. he always wears shoes like those on this picture and he is still shorter than mischa barton (she is listed about 5'7) wearing flat shoes. |
