If he was 6ft 1 why did he state his height as 6 ft. I have only ever know people given themselves an upgrade, unless they are 70 plus.

What good is this information when the man claimed 6'0" several years ago? He obviously isn't even 6'0" these days. you want to upgrade everybody don't you?

Jonathan Ross was wearing really big dress shoes to add to his height! He does this when a guest like Christopher Walken, Dara O' Briain, Lennox Lewis, Vince Vaughn and so an are on! He wants to be taller than he is and he is tall but wants to be bigger or associated with big as big as these guys! He also likes to stand on a platform and being closer to the camera Just watch his show any Friday it is on!

Shaun says on 31/Oct/09
6'1" peak, 6'0" now is about right. He was about 1.5 inches shorter than 6'1.5" Jonathan Ross. Personally I believe Ross is 6'1" judging by how he looked compared to Jay Z etc so 5'11.5" is possible. Either way can definately legitmately claim he is "around six feet". The heavy combed back hair also makes him taller!

Aleks says on 23/Oct/09
He did look 6'1" at times in his youth but if he did claim being six feet even twelve years ago, then we should just believe it. He has no reason to either upgrade or downgrade his height.

Spence says on 21/Oct/09
He needs a peak height upgrade big time. 182 now.185-86 peak

Spence says on 19/Oct/09
He looked the same height as DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can. He is still 181 I'd say maybe 182. He was a definite 185 peak. I actually think 186 is possible. He was 6'1 for sure. I'd say 6'1.25 at peak and now 5'11.5

TELLEM says on 15/Oct/09
i wouldn't doubt that hes 5'10.5 aswell. look at him next to 5'5.5 henry winkler: Click Here

rob, you should put this guy's peak and current height.

TELLEM says on 12/Oct/09
hes 5'11 tops these days, 6'0 in the 90s, and 6'1 peak

Ahleks says on 29/Jul/09
Walken was not a cm under 6' in his youth. Hell, he even looked 6'1 at times.

Danimal says on 16/May/09
He was MUCH taller taller in the 70's and 80's. The man is close to 70 years old. He's lost height.

glenn says on 16/May/09
outside a museum i think.i dont have time to study the ground.once in a blue i do look.but yes,the pavement here is ridiculous with slopes and small hills,drops.

glenn says on 15/May/09
he had dress shoes.the ground im not sure of.taken in a hurry.that could be the cause of problem.however,he did look 5-11 tops to me.

glenn says on 14/May/09
good point james.and im wearing flat adidas here.he did look 6-1 to me in 1990.

RisingForce says on 16/Apr/09
Yeah exactly, that's not a 6-0 man in The Deer Hunter and I doubt Walken would wear lifts for that movie.

bam says on 13/Apr/09
i'm glad someone sees what I've been saying. He was huge in the deer hunter. 6'0.5 min, probably 6'1. although its not smart to upgrade based off one movie, I guarantee you its obvious. If rob were to watch the deer hunter, he would upgrade walken immediately.

RisingForce says on 6/Apr/09
He towered over De Niro in The Deer Hunter by a solid 4 inches, and De Niro was no less than 5'9" back then. Christopher Walken must have been 6'1" peak.

sam says on 17/Feb/09
He looked slightly taller than than Larry Fishburne in King of New York.

T.J. says on 15/Feb/09
lol, but that was 25 years ago. Meat Loaf lost 2 inches of height in ten years, so Chris could have eaisly lost an inch of height in 25

TELLEM says on 11/Feb/09
lol. TJ that movie came out in 1985.

T.J. says on 10/Feb/09
Yeah risingforce, but that movie came out quite a few years back. In my view he's 5'11.5" now. But he probablly peaked 6'1" maybe 6'1.5"

Dennis says on 10/Feb/09
Lived in my old neighborhood, Astoria Queens. Mom owned a bakery and brother had a photo store. Chris was a solid 6' in his youth.

RisingForce says on 7/Feb/09
Walken also looked barely shorter than 6-1.5/6-2 Roger Moore in A View To Kill.

T.J. says on 4/Feb/09
He may have been 6'1" risingforce, but he looks more 5'11"/5'11.5" now. He's old, and when you get old, sometimes you shrink a couple of inches. But he was tall once. I also think his hair makes him look taller than he actually is

TELLEM says on 4/Feb/09
walken wasn't 6'1. next to 5'7 matthew broderick who were BOTH in SOCKS showed walken at 6'0 and no more. and this was in the 80s.

RisingForce says on 4/Feb/09
Here he's quite a bit taller than 5-10, 5-10.5 Telly Savalas.
Click Here

And don't forget that telly always wore big heels back then. Glenn is right, Walken was once 6-1.

TELLEM says on 3/Feb/09
funny. i nthe 80s next to 5'7 broderick he only looked 6'0. even frank2 said he was 6'0 peak which most likely is correct. 6'1? not a chance

Hugh says on 2/Feb/09
6ft flat nowadays and possibly close to the 6ft1 mark out of bed. In his prime he may very well have stood 6ft1.

t.j. says on 30/Jan/09
looks more 5'11 nowadays. In click, he barely looked an inch taller than 5'10 adam sandler

TELLEM says on 19/Jan/09
i think he was only 6'0 feet peak. he was raked thin. a raked thin 6'0 man can look really tall, especially on screen

adam says on 19/Jan/09
Lenad, you are correct. In the film he was rake thin and looked tall. Over six feet, yes. I`d say it is possible that Walken could have been around 6-1 peak.

Lenad says on 19/Jan/09
Could have sworn I saw at least 6ft1 in Deer Hunter!

deryck says on 5/Jan/09
In Click (2006) looked max 5-6 cm above Sandler, who is 177 or 178, so 183 could be

TELLEM says on 31/Dec/08
watched it again...5 inches max between the two...6'0 peak for walken but no more

TELLEM says on 29/Dec/08
was watching "biloxi blues" last night...there was one scene with 5'7 matthew broderick and christopher walken...they were both barefoot next to each other...and i was surprised walken only had broderick by 4 INCHES MAX...maybe a tad bit less....i couldn't believe it...which comes to mind that walken may have only been 6'0 peak but most likely tad less peak.

Hugh says on 26/Dec/08
I'd say he's 6ft if he straightens up next to Glenn. Closer to 6ft1 in his prime. He could look 6ft2 at times!

Jordan says on 25/Dec/08
Glen 5'7.5 Right? So Walken looks 5'11 MAX here.

adam says on 25/Dec/08
In most films looks taller than six feet. He sure can look 6-2, no doubts.

Josh says on 6/Dec/08
He looks a bit over 5'11 there , peak 6'0

Anonymous says on 6/Dec/08
i thought his 5ft11? he looks this tall..

anonymous says on 4/Dec/08
In click he was an inch taller than 5 foot 10 adam sandler. In welcome to the jungle, he was a few inches shorter than 6 foot 4 rock. I would say 5 foot 11max.

Lenad says on 2/Dec/08
He looks taller because of his hair. Maybe he was a legit 6footer at peak!

Danimal says on 2/Dec/08
6'0.5"-6'1" PEAK and probably 5'11" today.

glenn says on 2/Dec/08
6-1 20 years ago can look bigger to a 5-7 kid.

Lenad says on 2/Dec/08
Look at his shoulders. He looks 5'11 tops. Your 6'3 sighting for this guy intrigues me Glenn.

glenn says on 2/Dec/08
6-2.6-3.obviously i was way wrong about that.but i was young,5-7 and it was 20 years ago.

Nicole says on 26/Nov/08
Thout peak height 6ft1inch.

adam says on 24/Nov/08
Could have been more than six feet peak. Didn`t he claim 6-1 and he was listed as 6-0½ in many places?

bruce_willis says on 12/Nov/08
he looks shorter definately, looks about 5'10.5, but yeah, if the bad ass gangsta straightens up he becomes 6'

Hugh says on 11/Nov/08
Glenn, didn't you see Christopher at 6ft2 once?

Josh says on 9/Nov/08
He didnt look over 6ft in a view to a kill. But he is not under 5ft 11.
He did look tall in batman returns.

glenn says on 9/Nov/08
i agree.

Anonymous says on 9/Nov/08
u guys always get these wrong. yes, christopher walken is 6'0, but because of his posture, he looks around 5'10, but u guys put meat loaf height as 5'10 when he's slouching, when he straightens up, he's 6'0.

Buck Naked says on 20/Oct/08
I think Walken is about 5'10.

I stepped in to the elevator at the Chateau Marmont a few years ago.

As is my nature, if I get in an elevator and its just me and another other person in there, I say hello.

That's what I did when I stepped in to the small elevator at the CM.

Anyway, as I walk in and say hello and turn and hit the first floor button (which was already lit.,) I simultaneously get this waft of bodacious body odor and realize that the guy in the elevator is Walken (who was looking really, really bad physically).

He says nothing and hits the lit first floor button and I don't say a thing because I figure the guy is an asshat if he can't give some body a fricking hello and I just ignore him.

The elevator goes down a floor and a hotel employee gets in the elevator. He says hello, I say hello back, and he hits the lit 1st floor button and Walken says nothing, living what might have been a Leaving Las Vegas moment because he hits the 1st floor button that he originally lit and has hit three times that I whitnessed.

Presumably, he must of thought repeatedly hitting it would get him out of such a close proximity of us little people.

He stuck me as a very small 5'10" man.


True story.

Regards,
BN

Anonymous says on 18/Oct/08
No way. His posture isn't totally straight. Standing straight up he'd look about 6 foot in this picture. I do believe Walken is still 183 cm or damn close to it. His peak was 185 . I know this because Robert Deniro who is 176 177 at peak was towered over by Walken in the movie Deer Hunter.

jake says on 13/Oct/08
In this pic he only looks about 5’ 10”- 5’ 10½”

Hugh, I agree with you. Hugh seems to be pretty much dead on with his estimates. I pretty much agree most of them. Viper is on the other side who probably thinks that Walken is in the 5-9 -range because some basketball player looked taller.

Walken looks pretty tall in all of his movies. In Batman Returns he is clearly taller than Keaton and in the Deer Hunter towered over De Niro. Deer Hunter is by the way (along with Godfather and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest) one of the most over-rated films of all time! In my opinion, of course.

Hugh says on 13/Sep/08
184-185cm i think was his peak.

Hugh says on 26/Aug/08
Yeah, Glenn that is possible. I saw Chris at 6ft1/6ft2 years ago. 1987 I think it was.

Daii says on 25/Aug/08
He has looked 6'1 to me before, in Envy and Click he does look 6'0 on the dot. I would say anywhere between 181 and 184 cm is correct

Jordan says on 18/Jun/08
To me he's always seemed like Dead on the dot 6,0 maybe 6 foot and 1/4 at his very most now he looks like 5,11

Anonymous says on 21/May/08
maybe coz when time gets on you lose height but i met christopher about 2 years ago and i`m 6 1 and im about 2 maybe 3 inches taller than what he was but i supose looks are decieving

i couldve sworn he was 6-2 in the early 90s.

Nice picture! Walken's eyes seem to be focusing elsewhere though.

Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
In A View to a Kill, he looks only a fraction shorter than 6'1" Roger Moore. I'd say 6'0.5" at peak. Nowadays, he's probably about 5'11.5" judging from the photo above.

bam says on 30/Nov/07
rob for sure you should give him his peak, in deer hunter he was huge, and had close to 3.5 inches on Deniro.6'0.5 for sure. What do you think?

Larry says on 26/Nov/07
180 tops to walken or 175 to glenn lool

dmeyer says on 4/Nov/07
at 60 i think it is very average to loose 0.75 in

Gene C says on 26/Oct/07
On the Public TV show "Inside the Actor's Studio" Walken told the interviewer he was six-feet-one, "but I have very tall hair!"

Alex says on 20/Oct/07
He looked like 6'1 when he was younger. Looks a little under 6'0 with Glenn.

Valeri says on 12/Oct/07
yeah Markus.I'd say a strong 5'11 at least even today.probably 5'11.25.5'10 is out of the question for walken.Shoulder show about 3.5in of difference,but its more 3-3.25 in reality,judging by the top of the head.

Markus says on 3/Oct/07
There's more than 2 inches difference between Glenn and Mr. Walken here, I'm still going with 5-11. Also look at the shoulder height difference.

Coffee Shop says on 2/Oct/07
hey, he could very well be 5'10" cause no one has taken into acount that his hair is always brushed back prob gives him 2" of extra height but not raggin on him though he's a phanomenal actor

dmeyer says on 1/Oct/07
looks about 5'11.25 was about 6 ft 0.5 in so lost

bam says on 22/Sep/07
he was definately closer to 6'1 peak. Rob, I would consider giving him a peak height.

steph says on 29/Jul/07
michelle pfieffer is listed as 5 foot 5 and on hairspray, when the two were standing together, they were about the same height.. so she must have been wearing 7 inch heels? O.o?

rob you could give him 6 ft to 6'0.5 in peak and 5'11 to 5'11.25 now he did look 1 in shorter than denzel

schnitzelferk says on 24/Jun/07
[Editor Rob: nearing 65 on for sure he is likely to have lost some noticeable (1/2, 3/4) height.]

My dad was 6'2 1/2" aged 17, i measured him last year and today after reading this, hes 6'2 1/2" aged 57, and is a builder, and works his back loads.

Losing height from age is over rated also.

looks a lidl less than 6 ft like 181 could have been 6'0.25 1 in is likely at 65

Mario says on 24/Jun/07
Though he was still taller in 2002 than DiCaprio who is in my opinion 182-183 cm.

oh also, i forgot to mention, sandler slouches too! so the postures should be evened out anyway, and yes, sander is a teensy bit in the foreground, but 3"? come on?!?!

Click Here

even if you make henry here 5'5" hell even 5'4" that makes from walkens mid nose to forehead 7-8" long, if he is indeed 6'0" tall

NO!

My fiancee is 5'5" and i can rest my chin on her head moving up a bit, and my head is exactly 8.5", i have to move my chin by 1.5"

His head would have to be 10-11" long in that pic for him to be 6ft

seriously, this guy is NOT 6ft, in this pic he barely comes out 5'10"

I am and have been obsessed with height forever, most standard human heads are 7.5-9" long depending, and you can have a lot of accuracy basing height just with heads, if someone is 6'0" and the guy next to them has literally to the chin line, chances are they have a 9"+ head as theyre taller, so theyre 6'9" min.
if a 5ft guy is exactly 1 head shorter than another, that guy is most likely 5'7-8"

chris is NOT 6'0", how he is even listed at 6'10" amazes me

glenn is coming up to halfway through his forehead in that picture, unless half his damn forehead is 4", then NO he is not 6ft, and slouching does not eliminate 2" unless major

schnitzelferk says on 23/Jun/07
Click Here

suck it markus

I dont care if hes sloching, i didnt know better about adam sandler back then, adams 5'9" tops personally to me, and even slouching-you cant lose 3".

I even tested this as i am too-exactly 6'0" and even with extreme slouching, i still end up 5'10" and thats REALLY bad slouching, hunched over almost.

People give slouching more credit than its worth, you rarely lose more than 1" from it.

I say chris is 5'10" 5'11" tops.

5'10" guys can look 6ft with enough posture, shoes and hair, unless someones good at estimating height.

when i was 5'11" i had people comment me as being 6'1" and 6'3" even!!

some people REALLY dont know how to estimate height, so when it comes to "this person i know said they was around x'x" it really doesnt count for much, also note how these stories here usually lead to a massive 4" hike or something, not this time, but theyre easily findable.

glenn says on 23/Jun/07
well,he was 6ft peak.he does look shorter in the pic,the more i realise it.he seemed at least 5-11ish.

this is a joke. there's no way this guy is 6 feet tall. He is maybe 5-11 and I'd say more like 5-10 in this picture. Looks like he's standing up straight, still there's no way that this guy is 4 inches taller than glenn.

But I'd really like to know if anyone met the guy. I talked with the fanclub president who met Chris, she also thought him to be about 6 feet.

I say Click last weekend, not a great movie btw...I'm not sure what Schnitzelfreak saw, but Chris definately looked taller than Adam Sandler in my opinion. Not sure by how much though because he has quirky puffy hair. Maybe about 1,5 or 2" difference.

Snakeman says on 17/Mar/07
In Catch me if you fking can him and Leo look the exact same height.

The guy's at least 5-11, he just slouches.

schnitzelferk says on 1/Mar/07
well in the film click hes the exact same height as adam sandler, and as sandler is 5'10" no taller, that puts chris at 5'10" too.

Ball-A-Hallic says on 13/Feb/07
nowadays i'd def say 6'0 or even 5'11.5 he still seems the tall skinny dude just sorta slouches now

Mario says on 7/Sep/06
Christopher Walken was easy 185cm at his peak.

Rufus says on 7/Sep/06
Moore was allready a grandy when played his last Bond.
Sure Walken is a cm taller than him, but cameras try to not reflect that on film.
Or Moore shrunk or he was never taller than 6', anyway that makes 6+ of Walken.

Markus says on 5/Sep/06
In A view to a Kill I thought Moore actually looked a little bit taller than Walken...hmm I have to take a look at that again

piwo81 says on 25/Aug/06
If he is exactly 6' then Roger Moore was no more then 6'. Walken was about 1 cm taller then Moore.

Ball-A-Hallic says on 13/Jul/06
in wedding crashers chris' chracter and his one daughters boyfriend Zak(who is supposed to be 6'1) they looked nearly the same siding side by side maybe a .5 difference so either chris is 6'1 or that other dude Zak is just 6'0

Harry says on 9/Jul/06
He didn't look much taller than adam sandler in click, in some scenes Chris only looked about 1 inch taller but probably at his age he is starting to slouch abit

"He's one of the best actors in the business."

When I first met him in 1990 I got the impression he was 6-3!.then 2nd time in 1997,he looked 6ft.

Chris stated his own height as 6 foot on The Bravo Channel. Very fine actor IMHO! :-)

Frank2 says on 24/Jun/06
Chris is exactly 6' tall. He's one of the best actors in the business.

Frank says on 24/Jun/06
Sorry, but Michelle Pfeiffer is no more than 5'4, even with heels.

Anthony says on 23/Jun/06
I think when he was younger, he may have been a tad over 6'1. In "Batman Returns", he was a good few centimeters over Michael Keaton. Also, in the scene where Michelle Pfeiffer (about 5'5 but 5'7 in the heels she was wearing) is confronted by his character, he towers over her. Very big and scary guy. He's prorbably about 184 centimeters now, so he's still fairly tall.

Markus says on 21/Mar/06
A really cool actor and the coolest hair in de business anyway!

The funny thing is that his height looks pretty steady in each movie. He maybe used to look a little taller, but thats because he gained some weight these days I think.

He's about 2-3 inches shorter than 6'3" Brendan Fraser in Blast from the past, so around 6 seems reasonable.

To me he looks 6 ft 1, also today.
When I saw him with De Niro in the Deer Hunter, I was shocked how short De Niro was next him.

in the movie Batman Returns mr Walken seems to be much taller than mr Keaton at least 6 cm. comparing him to Andrew Bryniarski (he plays his son according to his site he is 6ft5inch ) makes me think that he is much over 6 ft. Walken seems to be max 2 inches shorter than Bryniarski. besides why Andrew Bryniarski isnt listed on the side??

I saw Walken two years ago during a screening of Catch Me If You Can. He was very engaging and funny - not at all like the crazies he portrays. He is also a fairly good singer and dancer. If you check out this film, Walken is clearly more than half an inch taller than Leo, and my personal account indicates that he is about 6-1.

Walken does have probably the goofiest hairdo around, he just comes off as being a wacky guy. He's probably somewhere between 6'0"-6'1", and he would be my first pick to play Sly if I were casting a Taming of the Shrew movie...
