In the Modern Times the 5-foot listed girl is quite significantly shorter than him and there were men, who looked shorter and smaller than Chaplin. He was short even in that period, but not a midget, the average height for men being maybe 5-8 in the USA, and below that in almost any european country.

How tall can men be tall only to join the U.S. marines? I am only 4`9 feet tall. SGT Carter says on 1/Oct/11
I have no idea if Charles Chaplin was trying to join the U.S. Armed Forces, but it's certainly not true that the U.S. Military will disqualify someone if he or she is 5'4". The minimum height requirement for a man is 60" and a woman 58" as of 2011. So, anyone who wants to join the US military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) , and who is afraid of being too short, relax! It's not too late to join up! I would suggest you think about joining the U.S. Marine Corps!

Looks 5'4" in the films. 5'4" and a half must be very peak for him. Anyway he wasn't SO short in that time. Just like a 5'7" male or so in european countries in these days. the shredder says on 10/Aug/11
Rob , how much do you think was Chaplin's weight ?

Who cares about height? I'm only 4'11 but feisty as hell and a pure terror in the courtroom. :) Chaplin was and still is a trailblazer. Bob R. says on 15/Apr/11
Charlie Chaplin was about 5ft while he was filming. He grew 1 centimeter every year. 6\\\'2 dude says on 15/Apr/11
for those who think shorter people r better than taller people r wrong.....instead, this just goes to show that even short people can be respected, famous, formidable n etc....its all about the attitude, or u can say thinking JKL says on 27/Jan/11
If Chaplin was rejected from the army it's not because he was too small. Then and now, they would and did take anybody, without a disability. 5'4 is pretty short but it's not midget-like height, it's just short. guyfrommars says on 23/Jan/11
I guess Keaton shrunk a bit due to his bad posture in his older days, so I can believe he was 5ft5 in Limelight, the same height as Chaplin. In the same film, Claire Bloom (listed officially as 5ft5) is roughtly the same height as him. She's having ballet slippers, while Chaplin is wearing dress shoes, so he could be 5ft4.5 or 5ft4 by then - he was 63 when that movie was made. |
