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.

Lenad says on 26/Apr/09
A perfect example of a 5ft10ish guy

Dib Dab says on 10/Feb/09
Chris looks pretty small compared to Will here, but does it look like a four inch difference too?

t.j. says on 30/Jan/09
in longest yard, his mugshot puts him at borderline 6'

Rusty says on 24/Jan/09
He looks like a 5'10"-er in the photo with the 6'7" guy.

(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.

Brad says on 17/Nov/08
Master of style is correct. Crenshaw High? Man, he's got both colors on his shirt covered for that neighborhood.

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.

AD says on 10/Nov/08
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.

glenn says on 27/Oct/08
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 says 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 says on 24/May/08
Wow. He gives a 5' 7" impression in 'DOGMA'.

glenn says on 19/May/08
his knees must be bent.

Joeman says on 12/May/08
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.

Gago says on 9/Apr/08
I saw him the other day, lowest is 5'10 that I would give him, highest 179, very casual guy.

Chris175 says on 14/Mar/08
AJ im pretty sure that is incorrect, i personally think he is not far off 5-11 but his posture is terrible. how can a 5-6 man stand beside a 5-8 glenn in the bottom photo and still look taller his knees are bent here too

dmeyer says on 13/Mar/08
then you have to buy glasses aj i met him 3 weeks ago he had wath seemed normal shoes and seemed solid 5 ft 10 in ,i just watched i think i love my wife he looks similar height with 5 ft 10.5 tores and 2.5 in taller than 5 ft 8 buscemi ,defenetly a 5 ft 10er

AJ says on 12/Mar/08
No way is he 5"10. I saw him at his show and He looks my height-5'6" MAYBE 5'7

dmeyer says on 21/Feb/08
since rock is 5 ft 10 in that makes seinfeld solid 5 ft 11 taller than i expected

Anonymous says on 20/Feb/08
5'10.25 or him at night

dmeyer says on 19/Feb/08
i walked by him he gave me impression of 5 10.5 to 5 10.75 ,i came back i shook his hand i stood tall and he did he seemed solid 5 ft 10 like evening height this guy is defenetly about 5 ft 11 out of bed and 5 ft 10 night if you list people at early afternoon height he would be close to 5 ft 10.5 i am about 5ft11 at night and he sure seemed no more than 1 in smaller

i met him yesterday he is a solid 5ft10 taller than i expected he had normal 1 in boots could be 5 ft 10.25

Fisher says on 9/Jan/08
smallest 5'10 I've ever seen

glenn says on 23/Dec/07
i dont know how tall i was then.barely 5-8 id guess.rock i think is slouching or bending his knees.i would see him on a daily basis actually.

brother_h says on 23/Dec/07

Always looked 5'8 to me, weird.

glenn says on 16/Dec/07
i still have long hair.i was a young pup then.and so was he.look at how we aged.

brother_h says on 15/Dec/07
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

Jenn says on 15/Dec/07
Wow glenn you look alooot better with that long hair

glenn says on 15/Dec/07
my only theory is that he is leaning in and bending his knee,which ive done before.

C. says 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.

glenn says on 12/Dec/07
this was a couple months ago.i saw him again a few days.taller than i remembered.5-10ish.

cantstop25 says on 12/Dec/07
his postures bad, id say he is atleast 5'10"

STA says on 8/Jul/07
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 says 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 says 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 says 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.

I think Chris Rock is 5-9.

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 says on 29/Apr/07
sandler is weird.he looks 5-10ish next to cheadle.yet he can look 5-9 other times.

Viper says on 29/Apr/07
Sandler is 5-9.

Random Person says 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 says on 11/Feb/07
did look 1 inch taller than sandler in the longest yard

Austrian says on 30/Jan/07
if he's 5'10 why are you taller than him?

brother_h says 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 says on 12/Jan/07
in the pic with glenn itīs 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.

MD says on 20/Dec/06
Hey Rob, check this out.

Padraig says 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 says 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 says on 27/Sep/06
Is that photo from GTA Vice City ;)

Glenn says on 18/Sep/06
5-9 is my guess.

Glenn says on 18/Sep/06
He can strangely look 5-10 in the street sometimes.

kene says on 18/Sep/06
this guy stand next to morgan freeman looks no more than 175cm.. i'll push him up as 176cm.

J. says 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.

Editor Rob says on 17/Sep/06
The smaller version, the one where fame hasn't quite added 4 inches to his height yet?

JK says 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 says on 15/Aug/06
but you haven't changed him to 6ft rob

Editor Rob says 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 says on 27/Mar/06
Your right.he is 5-9 tops

eric says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says on 20/Jan/06
he can look 5-9 as well.

6 foot 1, 16, still growing says on 18/Jan/06
don't think so. he is 5 foot 10, seen him in a pic with tucker somewhere

CoolJ says 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 says 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. says 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 says 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 says 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.

jb says 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 says 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 says 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.

Bigg says 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

Bigg says 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

"Chris Rock's 5'7", so he isn't towering over anybody. Not to mention
he isn't exactly a "hunk"."
Excerpted from: link

CoolJ says 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. says 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 says 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 says 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.

Mr. R says 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. says 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. says 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" ...
