He looks at least 6'0 next to him and this photo has been taken two weeks ago...
[Editor Rob: I don't know how tall the big guy is but I doubt he's that tall today.]

5ft 8.5 or 5'10" Christopher Plummer is a BRILLIANT actor!! guyfrommars says on 5/Jan/12
He was 6ft probably with all the lifts he wore in that movie. I recently watched The New World, and Plummer, close to 80, looks kinda short. He clearly shrunk with age. I'd say he's a 5'7" guy nowadays, and was 5'9" in his prime. judy says on 30/Dec/11

In the book The Making of the Sound of Music his height is given at 6ft tall. jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m says on 5/Dec/11
Rob back in 2006, you had Plummer listed as 6ft 0in?
[Editor Rob: possibly, the question has been recently how much height has he lost in total.] jake, 1.82 m says on 26/Oct/11
5' 8" now and 5' 9.5" at peak is definitely closer to the truth. jtm says on 10/Oct/11
he looks 5'7 nowadays. guyfrommars says on 8/Oct/11
He and William Shatner acted in the same Shakespeare company in their young days in Canada, and Plummer said, they played the same roles, one night him and the other night Shatner, and they wore the same costumes as they were the same size. Shatner was around 5'8.5" in his prime. Also, Plummer wore lifts next to 5'7" Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. I think he was no taller than 5'9". Nowadays a bit shorter. Sam says on 26/Sep/11
Plummer looked no taller really than 5'7" James McAvoy in The Last Station, and he's possibly lost more than 2 inches with age. Craig is definitely going to look a few inches taller, whereas even the old von Sydow would own him heightwise. PatB says on 25/Sep/11
He apparently got cast in the remake of "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" because of his height. Plummer was born in 1929 as was Max Van Sydow. But Max is six four - much to big to play against 5'10" Daniel Craig. They had already rejected Jenifer Lawrence at 5'7" as too tall and replaced her with the 5'3" Rooney Mara. Just how tall is Craig really? I'll try to remember to watch for those scenes where Craig and Plummer appear together. They are both listed as 5'10". We'll see. dmeyer says on 11/Aug/11
at 82 1.5 in moss hr did well Lazlo says on 13/Jul/11
then ewan macgreggor needs an upgrade just saw beginners --in every scene he was two inches shorter than ewan who is listed at 5'9 --actually i believe ewan is 5'10.5. nuff said change the listing for ewan.
[Editor Rob: he could be nearer 5ft 8, at 82 losing close to 2 inches is pretty typical.] Jamie says on 24/Apr/11
I met him last year. I am 5'7 and he was my height if not shorter. Tom says on 22/Nov/10
That is not Christopher Plummer in the photo |
