Guys, he is 55 of course he's shrunk
He said himself he is 6'2 in shoes a few years back. I think he was probably 6'1 barefeet in his prime. He was much taller than 5'11 Ti Lung
I would say he is about 6 feet now

Chow Yunfat is descended from Manchurians [Manchu try to hide their heritage because of discrimination & negative bias]on his paternal side. Born and grew up on Lama Island which was one of the Qing Dynasty military garrisson housing for the Manchurians. Most of the Cantonese look physically different and have that Southeast Asian appearance. He looked 6'-6'1" barefoot in Anna and the King. Chow Yunfat was one of the Kool Asian actors of the 1980's - 1990's. bk says on 31/Mar/10
he was significantly taller than Mira Sorvino in Replacement Killers, def a solid 6' at least. He's quite tall for an asian dude from his generation. Anonymous says on 31/Mar/10

tarantino is 2 inches taller than him pipi says on 15/Jan/10
chow can look 6'1-6'2 cause most of the hk actors are very short but in fact he is 5'11.5 peak and 5'11 now Hugh 190-192cm says on 24/Dec/09
185cm peak and 184cm now Anonymous says on 30/Nov/09
in HK most 6ft guy they are 6ft measure on with shoes. Yun Fat was then 6ft at youth. once at a movie he was measure to the mark shot in shoes at 6ft1.25 to 6ft1. so 6ft barefoot, now at about 5ft11 to 5ft11.5. no way hes 184cm barely.. Hugh 191cm says on 17/Nov/09
He's 184cm on the dot. Maybe 185cm peak Kraal says on 28/Oct/09
I think he has always accepted the fact that he's 6ft tall. And Chinese just say 6ft is 180cm. Chinese of HK use inches and feet to measure height and I don't think he knows how much 6ft is in cm.
When he's in HK he's taller than most 180cm actors. I think about 4-5cm.
So 184cm is about right. Who cares about that 1cm if you're that tall. Felix says on 8/Jun/09
If he is 184, why he always said "I am 180"? He townered others 180 guys because their height is not true? Have you watch the vidoe link? He accept he IS 180! Anonymous says on 1/Jun/09
Huge nailed it when he said Chow Yun Fat was about 1-2 inches taller than Sean William Scott. Just go check out the screenshots in Bullet Proof Monk, Chow definately looked taller right next to Sean William Scott (who's 181 cm). 184cm is about the right height for Chow. Anonymous says on 1/Jun/09
I've seen all Chow Run Fat's movies and he was definately around 183-184 cm at his prime. I've seen magazines listed him as 180 cm which is totally not accurate. I've seen Chow Yun Fat standing next to many real 180 cm actors and townered over them (Simon Yam is one of them). Besides, Chow doesn't seem to be very serious about his height and he's quoted many different heights along the years. I remember in a 2008 article he answered his fans question that he was 185 cm with shoes on.
I think nowadays given his age Chow is probably around 181-182 now. Felix says on 24/May/09
In the interview for his new film "Confucius", he said, I am 180cm, Confucius is 193cm. Felix says on 22/May/09
Chow Yun Fat just accepted his height in his new film. 180cm! v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTI4ODM3NTI=.html Felix says on 17/May/09
Chow accepted he was 180 more than one times in interview before. With 180 Di Long, Chow is even or only a little taller, so he was 182 when he was young Click Here Click Here yoyo says on 20/Apr/09
Chow Yun Fat looks to be 182~183cm tall in his acting career in hongkong. Sphinx says on 17/Apr/09
I believe Chow Yun-Fat stands no taller than 180 barefoot today, but the guy almost always slouches, so if he really stands up straight, he'd be about 181. Remember the guy is 55 this year. He did look 185 when he was in his 20's though. Mr. R says on 4/Apr/09
By the way, that last comment from Anonymous was really from me, Mr. R. Sometimes things get a little confusing here. Anonymous says on 3/Apr/09
The People Magazine from May 2001 lists him as 5-11 in their 50 most beautiful people in the world issue. |
