Chris did not look over 5'10" at that event.

Jamie might be taller than 5'9" flat and is a strong contender for a 5'9.25" listing as he can pull off 5'9.5"-5'10" at times, but Chris looks no taller than him.

Chris with 5'9.5" Eddie Murphy on SNL in 2019:

Chris appeared to be of very similar height to Murphy at that event. Eddie was in dress shoes, while Chris had sneakers on, so perhaps had a slight footwear disadvantage. They look similar height on other occasions too, but Chris did however look taller than Murphy on one occasion, as can be seen in the pic below.

I would say Rock is no taller than 5'10" and I wouldn't be surprised if he was 177, but the 178 figure is a fair listing. I don't buy 179 though. That seems too much for Rock.

He did look 5'10 in the new saw film. Why did he look same height as 176-177 range Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop 2 though?


Rock honestly looked more 5-11-6-0 in some of it which is wild

Here's the stills with Gibson since they're now well down Mel's page: Click Here Click Here That was the only LW film Mel didn't wear cowboy boots, though he wore some other boots. I can't believe that's less than an inch.

Mel could even look 5'8.5" range at times with 5'9"-5'9.5" guys and with 5'8" Joaquin Phoenix at the Signs premiere, but I think the clip with 5'10" Michael Parkinson confirmed Mel was 5'9" flat since Rob estimated Mel's dress shoes at 1.1"-1.2" and Parkinson's loafers at 0.6"-0.7" and Mel wound up about half an inch shorter back to back. Chris Rock definitely doesn't measure up worse to Mel than Parkinson did 4 years later even accounting for Parkinson's half inch less footwear and assuming Mel and Chris had similar footwear, though there's a good chance Mel had an advantage on set.

If you're being really generous, Mel could have even scraped 176 cm, but no more. Some might argue Parkinson had shrunk by age 67, but he did still look near enough 5'10" during that era so no less than 177 cm.
Canson said on 14/Nov/21
@Rising; agreed. I wonder if his brother is as listed? He was somewhat taller than Chris so possibly
Rising174cm said on 12/Nov/21
He had at least a full inch on Mel Gibson in a behind the scenes video for Lethal Weapon 4. Can't find the video anymore, but there are stills on Mel's page. I think Mel was always just 5'9" flat, but Rock still looked a full 5'10" with him. By the Longest Yard remake, Burt Reynolds was struggling to look much taller than Rock even with his lifts.
Jameson said on 25/Jul/21
5’’9”… but his slim build makes him look taller.
viper said on 14/Jun/21
The latest Saw movie really changed my opinion.

He could look 5-11-6-0 in it

Would say he has to be 5-10 minimum
BT said on 11/Jun/21
Can look 5'10.5 at times, really doubt he's under 5'10.

@Rob: Glenn did say Chris was 5'9" and had a pic with him where Chris only looked an inch taller...but Glenn's a verified 5'6.5" despite his 5'8" claim...so either Chris is 5'7.5" or Glenn wore lifts/built-up or big shoes of some sort?

Glenn had to be up to something, because Chris clearly looked a 5'10" range guy next to most others.
Bego said on 4/Dec/17
178 in morning and 176,5 at night, or just 1cm above it.

More like 5'9.5". Funny guy.
dave510 said on 4/Oct/16
I agree with this 5'10" listing. I do think he may dip a bit under it in the evening though.

Rob, has Rock ever stated his height himself?
James said on 8/Sep/16
I'm surprised he's that tall. I always thought he was like 5'8.
Damian said on 12/May/16
You guys need to read the quote he mentioned from Maxim. He stated, "Fame adds about four inches to your height." Because he was so famous, he probably got listed as 6ft2 or 6ft3, when he obviously was not that tall.
Bruce 5'11.5 said on 29/Apr/16
I could have sworn this guy was like 5'11 or is it becauce he's skinny he appears taller
MD said on 8/Feb/16
@Rob,

Johno is right. Chris Rock is much closer in height to Jamie Foxx than is currently listed. Quite frankly, I'm not sure who is taller because of Chris slouching in one of these pictures and Jamie in the other, but what's clear is that if each stood of straight, the difference between the two is margin (quarter inch at the most). Chris isn't a full 5'10". This is too much.

Editor Rob
at times Rock can look a 5ft 9.5 guy, other times I think he can still look 5ft 10.
Johno said on 4/Feb/16
Same height as Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy.

5'9.25
dmeyer said on 25/Oct/15
To me when in equal posture and camera with schwimmer he looks no more than 6cm smaller but to me david is likely just a solid 184cm
Guy said on 14/Aug/15
I worked on one of his films. Frankly I think 5'10" seems too short because I'm a bit taller than that and he was definitely probably half a head taller than me on that night. Of course, it's possible he was wearing lifts.
Marc said on 25/Jul/15
he looks short to me until he stands around other people its weird

sorry rob but this listing is bad after seeing at next to stiller i think hes around 5ft7 or 5ft8

looks about 5ft9 to me
Goose said on 21/May/14
As I said previously, when I saw him in Soho working on his material at a comedy club I was 5 feet from the stage. He's no shorter than 5'9 and possibly 5'10. Skinny as a rail and has a very very hot wife......
Dmeyer said on 30/Jan/14
Rob this Guy fooled me for 5'10.25 in , in person , so he must be 5'10 , didnt look That Look That Much shorter than me
Gaza2121 said on 13/Jan/14
And Arthur that pic doesn't really show that because stiller is closer to the camera and rocks not standing straight. I think this height is pretty accurate.
Arthur said on 31/Dec/13
The 5'10'' is ridiculous! Look the height difference between Rock and 5'7'' Ben Stiller:

Click Here

Ben Stiller is a maximum 5 cm shorter. Chris Rock is 5'9'' at his really, really best(and that is, only in the morning)
Goose said on 29/Dec/13
Saw him in a small comedy club near NYU when he was working on his material. Hard to gauge as he was on an elevated stage but he's around 5'9 or 5'10. No taller or shorter.

Maybe Rock is a hair taller

5'11 would make eugene levy 6'0. he isn't taller than 5'9.
Lorne said on 7/Jul/13
Nah, he's 5ft10. A legit 5'10, but no more. Otherwise Dylan baker is pushing 6'1! He really does make Sandler look a weak 176cm though...
jack said on 12/Mar/13
hey for enrique two comments below those arent lifts hes wearing those are normal dress shoes what everyone wears.... normal dress shoes always have like a half of inch on all shoes....hes wearing 1/2 inch normal dress shoes
MaskDeMasque said on 16/Sep/12
I was watching Beverly Hills Cop 2 last night and noticed a young Chris Rock, he looked the same height as 176cm listed Murphy.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Aug/12
Yeah I think Rock could be 178-179cm. Bare in mind he is quite thin so that may add to the illusion of the more height. Adam Sandler looks 5"9.75(177cm) rather than a full 5"10.
Enrique said on 26/Jul/12
He is probably wears lift. Look at this pic: Click Here

The height difference between 185 cm David Schwimmer and 169 cm Ben Stiller is looks accurate, plus the 169 cm Martin Short also looks similar height as Stiller, but Chris Rock max 4-5 cm taller than Ben Stiller and Martin Short.

odd next to Steve Harvey he looks no more than 2 inches shorter. i guess Steve Harvey is 6'1 flat or less.
Silent d said on 10/Nov/11
He is taller than sandler by at least half an inch. I could live with 179cm or even 180cm. I think sandler is 177cm.

Adam Sandlar is listed as 5'10. According to this picture Chris Rock is like 5'11 or even 6'0

come on Rob 5'10 for Adam or Chris?

Rob, N24 makes a good point. Chris Rock and Adam Sandler are not the same height so you need to change one of them. Just watch the movie "Grown Ups". I agree with Mr. R when he says Sandler is lower than what is listed.
paul86 said on 9/Nov/10
179 cm ( 5'10.5') minimum - 5'11' and sandler 5'10'!!
Ali said on 30/May/09
He is 173-175 cm. So between 5'8.5-5'9.

I don't understand why he gets listed as
5'10. Same thing with Brad Pitt who is listed
as 5'11. We all know it is nonsense.

(i'm sure cruise is wearing massive footwear in the 2nd one, but it would seem Rock is more 5'9 max than 5'10, and maybe in lifts he gives the impression of a solid 5'10-5'11 guy, the one with 5'6ish Stiller rock is only 2-3 inches over, a weak 3 at best.

He was shorter than adam sandler in the longest yard. He was just taller than oprah when he was on her show. He was taller than ellen by about 3inches. I would say he's five foot 10 max no taller.

Definately not less than 5'10 ...just seen 'The Longest Yard', he's about an inch taller than Adam Sandler (5'9 / 5'9.5) and appears the same height as Burt Reynolds.

leonari-i had this guy wrong for years.i thought he was 5-8 to 5-9.he really is 5-10.and i read 5-11 for him.i think he claimed that once.but i am confused cause he can look 5-9 still.i see him often lately.5-9,i mean,not in person.in person,5-10.
leonari said on 26/Oct/08
he gives that impression because he is only skin. The guy has a weird body. Rail thin to a point where it makes him look shorter-not taller. And I do think he is closer to 5'9" than a full 5'10". Glenn?? Whats your opinion these days??
5' 10" Adam said on 24/May/08
Wow. He gives a 5' 7" impression in 'DOGMA'.

I have seen Chris Rock in person leaving MSG a few years ago after a Knicks game, I was standing right next to him he looked more like 5'9 not 5'10 Iam a bit over 5'11 and had at least two inches on him, it was very funny because he was trying to sneak out a side exit to avoid being seen but a few dipsticks noticed him and started hounding him, you should have seen the look on his face ,but I just stood there I did not hassle him like the other dipsticks there.

he is leaning in the top pic and he still looks 5'9. if he stood up as straight as possible, he would be like 5'9.1/2 atleast.
dunno bout the bottem, must be bending his knee's

Wow glenn you look alooot better with that long hair
glenn said on 15/Dec/07
my only theory is that he is leaning in and bending his knee,which ive done before.
C. said on 15/Dec/07
He's slightly slouching in the first pic, but he still doesn't look 5'10". He has to be wearing lifts or something (why else would he make that statement about fame?). I have to admit that he has me fooled. He doesn't look short, especially next to Tucker, but he just can't be 5'10". How else do you explain the second pic? He looks nearly the same height as Glenn. IF that, since his box haircut adds some height. Maybe he really is 5'7" with massive elevator shoes. I don't know. I'm completely baffled.

The guys at the Maher page are saying Maher is only 5'6.5", so if Rock is about even with him I'd put him at 5'6"
schnitz said on 14/Jun/07
actually in the longest yard with the half a star scene, it shows him at 6'0.5" though thats BS, in the film he looked no taller than sandler-exact height, and sandler slocuhes, id say rock is 5'9"

glenns 5'8" and thoughchris is moving sideays, that doesnt eliminate an entire inch
vandal said on 10/Jun/07
alibi, there's too much uncertainy in Kerry Washington's height and heel height.
The other girl, Gina Torres, is listed at 5'10"+heels.
albi said on 26/May/07
So, this: Click Here guy is 5'10"? Are you kidding me? The little girl is put at 164cm. He has about 3-4cm advantage over her. His shoes are nothing flat, at least normal 2cm shoes. So lets say she has 10cm heels and an overall 8cm shoes advantage. That would put Chris Rock at 176-7. Now take into account that the little girl is leaning and he is on a thick carpet and there is no way he is over 176cm. I'd say 175, but I know you wouldn't downgrade him that far. (sorry for the double post. Forgot to add my name in the previous one)

He looks 5'10 to me but with Glenn more 5'9.
Viper said on 9/May/07
I think Chris Rock is 5-9.
G-unit said on 8/May/07
Now I am totally confused, please explain this picture anyone: Click Here
According to this site: mike myers 5'7, justin timberlake 5'11.5, chris rock 5'10, jerry seinfeld 5'11.
Which guys are the liftwearers?
glenn said on 29/Apr/07
sandler is weird.he looks 5-10ish next to cheadle.yet he can look 5-9 other times.
Viper said on 29/Apr/07
Sandler is 5-9.
Random Person said on 28/Apr/07
In the movie Down to Earth, he was marginally shorter then then 5'10 Eugene Levy, this guy seems more 5'9. The only problem with Rock being 5'9 is that would make Sandler 5'8. Could Sandler have shrunk recently?
dmeyer said on 11/Feb/07
did look 1 inch taller than sandler in the longest yard
Austrian said on 30/Jan/07
if he's 5'10 why are you taller than him?
brother_h said on 30/Jan/07
chris rock is about 5'10, he has 1 inch on adam sandler, adam sandler is 5'9, always has been. burt reynolds is 178cm(5'10)
jason said on 12/Jan/07
in the pic with glenn it´s hard to emagine him at least 5 cm taller then glenn.
i think there is a possebility he is even 179 cm. i would say he is between 178-179 cm. he locks slightley taller then burt reynolds and adam sandler they are both 178 cm, and he locks in the 178-179 cm zone. i would say he is closer to 179 cm and skinny, wich adds the illusion of him being tall.

Hey Rob, check this out.
Padraig said on 16/Oct/06
Here is a bit of information Rob had given me to add:

In the Star Tribune in 2006 there was an interview with somebody called Todd Walker, who said:

"Rock is shorter than I am. He's 5-9; at least that's what it says on his license".
Diverse said on 5/Oct/06
i saw a picture of him up close... i don't think he's 5'10"... i'm about 5'9" and he was MAYBE my height, perhaps shorter... i put him 5'8" to 5'9"...
Chris said on 27/Sep/06
Is that photo from GTA Vice City ;)
Glenn said on 18/Sep/06
5-9 is my guess.
Glenn said on 18/Sep/06
He can strangely look 5-10 in the street sometimes.
kene said on 18/Sep/06
this guy stand next to morgan freeman looks no more than 175cm.. i'll push him up as 176cm.
J. said on 17/Sep/06
See ...my old teacher was right. Granted Rock is slouching in the photo, he's pretty much Glenn's height. (discount his high top fade hairstyle) 5'11" my ass.
JK said on 18/Aug/06
why didn't you change him to 6ft then??

Editor Rob
I'm joking, do all pics of rock suggest 6ft. Jake might not be standing same posture, could be loose?
JK said on 15/Aug/06
but you haven't changed him to 6ft rob
0kuma said on 30/May/06
I doubt Chris Rock is 5'11". Here is a myspace picture of him with Theo, who says he is 6' on the button:

Click Here

I'd say he is 5'9" or 5'10"

CR needs to be lowered.

Editor Rob
give the theo guys myspace id, as afraid that link won't work...as for rock, yes, he is on the 'downgrade maybe' list
Editor Rob said on 12/Apr/06
In Longest Yard his mugshot was on the computer screen. EASY clearing 6ft ;-) Of course the camera is below his eyeline and he is standing a bit in front, at least it looked like that...
Glenn said on 27/Mar/06
Your right.he is 5-9 tops
eric said on 26/Mar/06
im pretty sure hes like a 5'8 or mabye 5'9 because im 5'11 and when i met him i was way taller then him
Glenn said on 7/Mar/06
correct at 5-9.though Ive seen him look 5-11.gibson looks the same height as chris in weapon 4.
Anonymous said on 6/Mar/06
I met Chris outside the Ivy on Robertson Blvd., L.A. on Friday. I am 5'7.5" and was wearing Vans. He was 5'9" at maximum. Kind of seemed my height exactly but was probably about an inch taller.
Paul said on 18/Feb/06
I stumbled into the site by accident whilst looking how to calculate Body Mass Index. I can't believe it's so important to people how tall this guy (or any other celebrity) is. I like the fact that that human beings come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There seems to be this subliminal message these days that every woman should be 5'8" minimum and every guy 6' minimum. What the 'height fascists' don't realise is that your height is no achievement, it's an accident of genetics and lots of people including myself, aren't attracted to tall people (who are usually thin also). Now that should get them stirred up!
Glenn said on 20/Jan/06
he can look 5-9 as well.
6 foot 1, 16, still growing said on 18/Jan/06
don't think so. he is 5 foot 10, seen him in a pic with tucker somewhere
CoolJ said on 17/Oct/05
Anonymous. Rock easily has an inch over Sandler.. maybe two.

The more I look at Rock lately, the more I think he's 179-180cm.
Anonymous said on 14/Oct/05
Chris Rock is 5'10", I'd say 5'9ish", cuz compare him to the 5'9" Adam Sandler in The Longest Yard.
J. said on 4/Sep/05
I could care less about Chris Rock but the point is someone's real life observation weighs more than someone's perception of someone they've never met in real life. From what I've seen, most of the people who've seen Rock in person all say that he is short. Are they liars? It's annoying when someone wants to argue that one of these celebs aren't that 'short' when you haven't any real life encounter with them. That's the only way anyone can argue.
CoolJ said on 4/Sep/05
J.: The is a horrible picture. Rock is far behind the camera.

I do not think Rock is a full 5'11" but at the VERY least I'd give him 5'9.75" - Most of the time he looks to be about 5'10.5"

Although I'd like to see this moment with Maher that jb speaks of
sf said on 29/Aug/05
Well, let's see. Rock is standing behind both Sandler and Spade, and to me, looks like he might be leaning back against whatever is behind him. You're going to tell me that is a good picture to demonstrate his height? No, that's a really bad picture. Why are people so desperate to make everyone shorter than they probably are? All of the people who think Rock is 5'9" or 5'10" - I'm with you. He's never looked short to me.
J. said on 26/Aug/05
Ok, since you need pics of these folks to validate a claim of height, I found one of Chris that pretty much puts credence to my professor's honest encounter as well others who have bumped into Rock: http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=53468484&cdi=0.
He's barely taller than Spade and 5'9" Adam Sandler looks like the Jolly Green giant for chrissakes. Other pictures of that event also will prove to that yes, Rock really is on the short side.
jb said on 21/Aug/05
Chris Rock might be 5'8" ...when he stood up to shake hands with Bill Maher (who is listed as 5'8") on HBO last night, they were about even.
Bigg said on 20/Aug/05
I wouldn't say Chris Rock is short exactly maybe just under average... but him being black he is way short...I think the average black guy is 6 foot... somewhere I read
Mr. Awesome said on 20/Aug/05
I was watching Dogma yesterday, and not until then did I realize just how short Chris Rock is. I didn't beleive that Rock was not tall, cause he always looks tall on screen, but now I've changed my mind. In the scene where he falls from the sky, he is barefoot, and is about the same height as the questionably 5'8'' Kevin Smith. Smith was wearing shoes, so this would put Rock at best 5'9''. He was also just around the same height (I think possibly even a little smaller) than Linda Fiorentino, who's listed at 5'7'' and had on bigger shoes than Kevin Smith. While I do think he's taller than 5'7'', I'm convinced that he's not over average height, and certainly nowhere near 5'11''. My comparisons from Dogma would put him in the range of 5'8'' minimum to 5'9'' maximum; so I'll go with the happy medium and peg him at 5'8.5''. Rob, this guy is definitely worth taking another look at.
Sticks said on 20/Aug/05
Bigg, you never mentioned Chris Rock in your post. You said "Chris Tucker". Easy to confuse two thin, screechy, funny black guys named Chris. If it was actually Chris Rock, maybe your cousin saw him in lifts, because there are already four sightings saying this guy is nowhere near 5'11": J's teacher - 5'7", woman and her mom - 5'7.5", haunted house guy- "one short dude", and movie ticket guy - "diminutive". If this guy's not short, how are these people getting it so wrong? Giving your cousin the benefit of the doubt, Chris Rock was in lifts.
Bigg said on 19/Aug/05
I never said Chris Rock was taller...I just said he's not a short guy like everyone think's he is...my cuz met him and said he's taller than this 5"9 guy which is my other cuz soo yeah I dont know what your talking about but I guess I can check to make sure
Sticks said on 19/Aug/05
Bigg, Chris Tucker's taller than Chris Rock. People mix them up a lot. I think you posted in the wrong thread.

Chris Rock, according to people who see him, is short.
http://www.micechat.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-595.html

"Chris Rock was buying popcorn for his little girl at the Haunted Mansion last Tues the 8th. Told him he did a good job at the Oscars. Man is he one short dude."

--
He probably meant that in the just-shy-of-6' sense, Rob. Pay no attention.
Bigg said on 18/Aug/05
nah I thought he was short too or like 5"7 height but my cousin met him and said he was tall and I was surprised she was too...and my other cousin asked her how tall he was so..and asked my other cousin to stand up and he's 5"8 without shoes he told me when he went to the doctor...soo he's 5"9 with shoes and my cousin said chris tucker is taller than him soo he's not that short like I thought he was ...soo yeah
CoolJ said on 10/Aug/05
Sticks - I've never met the guy, but in comparison to other actors (unless he's wearing shoes) he looks to be a solid 5'10". Likely 5'10.5"
J. said on 10/Aug/05
Um, "J's teacher" would be one of my former professors who happens to reside in New York. He has sighted many celebrities while in NYC and even has pictures with some of them. He seemed pretty unimpressed and matter of fact-ly by his interactions and sightings with them hence how Chris came up during a simple conversation about the celebs we both have came across and what not. Now, he referred to Mr Rock, who he WALKED BY at a Virgin Megastore on Times Square as being 'fairly short'. I asked how short? He said defintely in the 5'7" range as my professor's only 5'9" and he said Rock was without a doubt more than an inch shorter. My professor's not that big into height and wasn't really a Chris Rock fan so I see no reason for him to lie or exaggerate. So, as far as the people on the board who want to argue that Rock or any celeb is bigger- that's great to have an opinion but there's a big difference between actually seeing someone in the flesh and seeing it with your own eyes AND just looking at photos and arguing someone's stature who you've never ever seen in your life. Yet, Sticks, people believe what they want to believe. And yes, you're right, anytime a alledged 5'10"- 5'11" male celeb ('cause you know most of them are height challenged!) gets referred to as short, I start to raise an eyebrow. There must be something to it. If someone's keeps referred to by people who've seen them as 'short', then why would all those people by lying?!?! They're calling it as they see it!
CoolJ said on 10/Aug/05
Sticks,

Lifts? I'm not so certain, I was not THAT close.. but he always give me the impression of an average to slightly-above average height and I have always been a good judge of height. I think hes a strong 5'10"

Who is "J's teacher" anyway..?
CoolJ said on 9/Aug/05
Saw him at a show at the University of Delaware back in early '99 as well. Hard to picture him being a 5'11" guy but he's probably close.
CoolJ said on 9/Aug/05
http://www.oscars.org/77academyawards/misc/images/rock_sandler_sm.jpg

He might not be 5'11"
Mr. R said on 1/May/05
Obviously, I agree with you J. In person sightings are definitely stronger, and there are times when they may be somewhat inaccurate. But I know that when I see someone, I will honestly report what I believe, whether others believe me or not. Movies and tv are here to make reality, not to honestly portray it, and now that I have met so many folks, I don't believe what I see. I have not met Chris Rock, but I see his brother Tony all the time, ane he is pretty average, maybe 5-9.
J. said on 29/Apr/05
Okay, I hate to comment on this guy for the third time, yet I caught up with my old teacher the other day, the subject of celebrities we met and how they compared in person came up. My teacher, who is 5'9", described seeing Chris Rock outside of Virgin MegaStore in Times Square maybe a year ago. He described Chris as about 5'7", rail thin and said that he has that same trademark screechy voice. When I questioned the 5'7" and told him that Chris is listed on Hollywood informational sources as 5'11", he diplomately stated that that was simply a lie. He saw him with his own eyes and saw that he was shorter than him. Again, I think it's so intresting, how many arguments some of us have on sites such as these about these people based on pictures or how they look onscreen and then you see them upfront and all that was smoke and mirrors. So, I can show you pictures of Chris Rock all day and proclaim that he's such and such height but at the end of the day and, he truly is around 5 foot 7. Whether we believe that or not. Or regardless of what a picture or a movie scene shows.
J. said on 24/Mar/05
I just thinking, I remember seeing Allen Iverson on Chris Rock's HBO gabfest a couple of years. When they both stood up to shake each other's hand, I noticed that Chris was a couple inches shorter than AI. That I'm sure of. So, I'm thinking that Chris isn't 5'11" ...
