Guy says on 3/Jul/08
.5'7 is he.5'9 never was norris

Davey says on 2/Jun/08
norris was never 5'9.he is 5'7.

Anonymous says on 20/May/08
Chuck is for sure larger than Bruce in their fight in Rome. It is fairly well assured Bruce was 5'7.5". He was not the short man people thought he was. Chuck looks a good strong 5'9" in that. I heard in his biography that Lee needed him large for the movie. Norris stated he was around 165 lbs and piled on the calories to achive 180 pounds for the first battle scene. Norris looked around 5'9" and 180 lbs for the scene. Most assuredly more than an inch over Bruce.

Guy says on 13/May/08
Chuck is clearly larger than Bruce during their bout in Rome. It is pretty much assured Bruce was 5'7.5". He wasn't as short as people think. Chuck looks a good solid 5'9" there. I read in his biography that Bruce wanted him big for the film. He said he was about 165 pounds and laid on the calories to get to 180 lbs for the fight scene. He looked about 5'9" and 180 lbs for that scene. Definitely more than 1 inch over Bruce.

Rick says on 23/Apr/08
I met Chuck in 1988. I am 5'11" and had a good 2 inches on him, and he was wearing Cowboy boots. SO I would say 5'8" would be pretty accurate.

Nickys says on 18/Apr/08
You dare talking about Chuck Norris height? He will give you a fatality with a round-house kick and then say ''never question chuck Norris height''.

LT, the guy who said that Norris is 5'3, is resting on a grave together with Chuck Norris boots. Needless to say LT's head was ripped off so that now his corpse is no taller than Chuck Norris (since Chuck Norris was no taller than the height of his shoulders).

Fred Ennis says on 16/Apr/08
if Chuck Norris is 5'10" then Dr. Phil is 6'5" and I'm 6'6" , I dare to scoff! Chuck Norris is no more than 5'9" , his partner Trivette (Clarence Gilyard) stood 5'9" and they both stood the same height on Walker Texas Ranger. PS Dr. Phil's 6'4" tops, me 6'5" at most.

Viper says on 12/Apr/08
LOL at Norris being 5-3. That would be funny.

Scott B says on 10/Apr/08
There is No way Norris is 5'3. He is between 5'7 and 5'8. Also, If Lee was 5'6 Norris was taller than Lee. Norris had Lee by at least 2 inches.

LT says on 18/Mar/08
I met Chuck Norris in 1997 at the Kentucky Derby with the guy that used to do the big lots commercials. I am 5'9" without Shoes- Chuck had a pair of boots on - he was no taller then my Shoulders. He is 5'3" TOPs. The guy from bigs lots was a half a head taller then Chuck. And Bruce Lee was not 5'7, he was 5'6".

Hardradi says on 11/Mar/08
Chuck Norris was likely 5'7" but he doesn't get shorter with age because well he's Chuck Norris...

Leung says on 11/Jan/08
I do think that the Chuckster was 5'9" peak, and chances are that he is still close to that height, sure he is an old dude but his martial arts and flexibility has probably ensured that his spine is much healthier than other 67 year old's. Jokes aside he does look physically as good as it gets for a dude nearing 70.

dmeyer says on 10/Jan/08
rob has he lost any height at 67 years he should like 5'9 peak 5'8 now or 5'8.5 peak and 5'7.5 now

Rodger says on 9/Jan/08
I was at the '88 Presidential Inauguration when Bush I took the oath of office. I sat near Chuck Norris and he was tiny, well below 5'8.5."

Scott B. says on 9/Jan/08
Chuck looks to be 5'8 to me. 5'9 at peak height.

glenn says on 16/Dec/07
yeah,in a workout book i have at home he mentions he is 5-10.i believe 5-9 more.i saw him look 5-10, 5-11 in cowboy boots and hat.

Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
Did Chuck Norris ever say he is 5'10"? If he did I believe him, because he is Demi-God #1!

If not, then I'd say 5'9" at peak due to the barefoot picture of him next to 5'7.5" Bruce Lee.

Lmeister says on 16/Oct/07
Chuck was taller than Bruce Lee so his peak height must have been 5'9''. Ppl usually tend to underestimate shortish stars who are in 5'8''- 5'10'' range.

glenn says on 16/Oct/07
to my eyes vin is 5-11ish.and chuck was 5-9 peak.

Misha says on 15/Oct/07
JR's description of how Norris wears shoes while giving lessons to barefoot children shows how pathological obsession with height can become. However, when taken together with foot n inch's description of Norris and Vin Diesel being
"almost eye 2 eye with each other" in a recent film, it sheds light on the fact that many commentators at Vin Diesel's site are clamoring for a downgrade from his stated 6'0" height. In other words, as Norris is now manifestly 5'7"-ish (I saw him up close in bare feet at 5'8", but that was fifteen years ago) for him to appear as being nearly Diesel's stature would require 4 to 5 inch lifts - if
Diesel is really six feet tall. As no lifts exist that can give you that kind of boost, it forces Diesel's height down from six feet into the 5'10.5" range,
which validates both logic and several in-person sightings.

ras says on 14/Oct/07
Chuck Norris can't be clasified at a certain height, he's omnivariable, he can change his height from an inch to 20 feet, he can also travel around the world in a second and touch his own back.

Mr Mayfair says on 5/Oct/07
If you check in the Guinness Book of Records there is a disclaimer saying that all records are held by Chuck Norris and that they only publish those nearest to his! So if Wadlow stands 8'11'' then Chuck must be at least NINE FEET TALL!!
Maybe people are just seeing his mini-me?
Seriously though his height is irrelevant as I suspect he could whup all of us blindfolded - so I am going with 6 foot :)

glenn says on 8/Sep/07
interesing robert.

robert says on 7/Sep/07
several years ago he was on Howard Stern, and when asked, he begrudgingly said he was 5'7"

Chris says on 28/Jul/07
With Dennis Franz Click Here . I think maybe 5'9" for Chuck and 5'9.5" for Dennis.

JR_from_Dallas says on 28/Jul/07
I don't know his height, but he certainly has a mega complex about it. In "Walker texas ranger", you occasionaly see him giving karate lessons, in a dojo.
Of course, every students are then barefoot, as required in karate, but Chuck does have shoes!! Too funny! A karate master with shoes in a dojo!
Of course not big boots, but some kind of black sneakers
What a poorly attempt to conceal his lack of inches !
Too bad, the guy is seven-times world champion in karate, and he feels insecure about giving a lesson barefoot..

Bad Radio says on 14/Jul/07
i think 5'8 for this guy.

foot n inch says on 4/Jul/07
a pic with norris and vin diesal they are almost eye 2 eye with each other. Vin deisal is listed as 6ft so how come norris here is only 5-8.5 acoording to this site. norris there lookes 5-11 but he cud be wearing boots berefeet i would give him 5-10

Jav Man says on 22/Jun/07
About 2 years ago I was visiting my EX in So Cal. I saw a striking woman at the counter with a short man in sweats next to her. He turned about and it was Chuck. I smile and nodded at him. He walked over and greeted me and wished me a good day. As he was leaving another person saw him and asked for his autograph. We were about the same height and I am 5'7".

Kid-Icarus says on 11/May/07
If you watch "Way Of the Dragon" You can clearly see that in the scene where he enters the room with Bob Wall and The Japanese fighter, he was wearing cowboy boots.

Brad says on 10/May/07
Chuck is literally the same height as Christie Brinkley in the infomercial they do together. He's really not a big guy at all. He puts Bruce Lee as I remember him: 5' 6" or just under 5' 7" by a tiny 1/4.

Rooster says on 6/Apr/07
MY2CENTS "Chuck and Bruce side-by-side with a slight lean, fully revealing their feet, both wearing shoes:"

In that picture Bruce Lee is obviously, at least, 1.5 inches shorter than Chuck Norris. Chuck was around 5'8" in his PRIME/Bruce at 5'6.5 - Barefoot Chuck is around 5'7.5 today.

Brad says on 13/Mar/07
Can you imagine Bruce Lee coming back to life and he turns on the TV and sees Chuck doing the abdomenizer infomercial? As Chubby Checker sings: "how low can you go?"

Misha says on 5/Mar/07
You know, I'm kind of sorry to learn that Norris has turned into a jerk. Back in the "Lone Wolf McQuade/Code of Silence" era he was a little nicer. But I always did get the impression that he may have developed a superficial charm to use with larger groups of poeple, and could be much more business-like and cool in one-on-one encounters. I've never done more than exchange friendly greetings with him - you obviously scratched through his polished veneer of goodwill and
exposed something far less appealing. I believe you 100%. These ridiculous infomercials with the abominable abdomenizer make me think he's hit rock bottom.

glenn says on 27/Feb/07
thanks for that.i believe you.

Misha says on 26/Feb/07
And I want to be fair - he could be 5'8.5" - but above 5'9" no way, impossible.

misha says on 26/Feb/07
Norris is an obvious wearer of tremendously built-up boots, and has never been depicted on the screen wearing "normal" shoes. However, I have stood next to him in martial arts settings where he was in his bare feet, and it struck me that he was slightly taller than the total shrimp boat on delivery a la Tom Cruise that I was expecting. In bare feet, Chuck Norris is exactly 5'8". The
old black-and-white photo of him with Bruce Lee conveys their respective heights perfectly.

J. says on 7/Feb/07
Well, if someone uses multiple aliases on a site, I assume that their info is imagined.

[Editor Rob: I think using another identity is out of fear I'd ban again.]

Glenn says on 7/Feb/07
Why would they be untrue J ?.that wasnt his problem.his disrespectful tone towards me was.

J. says on 6/Feb/07
So, wait, "Lee" is really Brad? So, all the goodies that Brad dropped were all untrue?

dmeyer says on 6/Feb/07
even thaugh i think chuck aint a tall guy but i think he has 2 inches on bruce so 5'9 at peak

Glenn says on 6/Feb/07
Welcome back Brad.care to mess with me again?

mike m says on 1/Feb/07
bruce was probably five 5ft 6inches to 5ft 8inches had the pleasure of meeting his daughter at the Long Beach Internationals. Last year and she was about 5ft4inches maybe 5ft 5inches. Very stunning looking woman, also met ted wong and got their autographs.

Glenn says on 6/Jan/07
Yes,5-9 in youth is possible.

dmeyer says on 5/Jan/07
he might have been a full 5'9 at peak

Editor Rob says on 30/Nov/06
Somebody in a 1994 newspaper said, "Chuck Norris is my height, 5-foot-8, so they made the doorway smaller so that when he walked through, he'd look taller".

Larry says on 2/Nov/06
lol. You mean he was 5'3"? Someone said earlier that his mom said Chuck seemed 5'6", I don't know, 5'7 is a possibility but not 5'6, he can seem 5'11 in cowboy boots, he would have to wear some freaking KISS boots to achieve that.
How tall is Clarence Gilyard who plays Trivette on Walker? Sometimes Chuck sems taller than him on the show, sometimes shorter, but usually the same height and size. They even said once in the show how they're the same size.

sf says on 2/Nov/06
Mmm...not sure I'm believing someone being 5'6" having 3 inches on Chuck. That would make him 5'3"!

MJG says on 1/Nov/06
I met Chuck Norris once, and I'm 5'6" and I easily had 3 inches on him.

TNTinCA says on 1/Nov/06
That total gym makes me laugh. Who buys into this rubbish? Do they honestly think that these actors demonstrating that equipment got those physiques from that total gym mechanism? Sheesh....

Glenn says on 1/Nov/06
I agree on that trickery in the shoes.

Larry says on 31/Oct/06
Chuck looked about an inch taller than Brinkley in the total gym infomercials, who supposedly is 5'9. I remember thinking that maybe Chuck really is 5'10 since they were both wearing sneakers, but he might've hidden some lifts inside his shoes.

Glenn says on 31/Oct/06
I kinda remembered it immediately after.I just didnt realise that was Brinkley.yeah,he looked 5-11 in that Texas Ranger gear I saw him in.

sf says on 30/Oct/06
Chuck might be able to kick my ass, but I don't think he's built "muscle-one" with that total gym. I love how they show people doing exercises for their triceps that have nothing to do with building triceps.

Leung says on 30/Oct/06
Yeah I think 5’9” is spot on for Chucky. When he wears his cowboy boots he can look 5’11”.
Lots people would like to categorise him in the 5’7”-5’8” range but realistically he is a bit too tall to be lumped in the same group as Tom Cruise and Ryan Seacrest.

Glenn says on 29/Oct/06
I dont remember that actually.so he is 5-9?

Leung says on 29/Oct/06
Anyone remember Chucky in one of those 30 min infomercials with Christie Brinkley promoting ‘Total Gym’? I recall that 5’9” Brinkley and Chucky were both similar in height.

I can’t believe that my brother used to enjoy Walker Texas Ranger!

Glenn says on 25/Oct/06
Yeah,Norris might be smaller than we think.yeah,thats the word amongst people I know.they call him a dick.

Lmeister says on 25/Oct/06
15and5'7'' maybe your mom had a point. I recall that one finnish editor who is 5'9.25'' wrote that Chuck Norris looked shorter than him. The editor dude also wears boots quite often. Maybe Chuchk really is 5'7''ish...

15and5'7'' says on 25/Oct/06
really Glenn? chuck norris sounds like a grade A A-hole

Glenn says on 25/Oct/06
Yeah,silly me.I did ask that twice.Norris turned me down.never saw him again.1993.2 people,one who had a pic with him already,got it.my turn,he turned me down.

15and5'7'' says on 25/Oct/06
if your askin me Glenn how i'm doin i'm doin good, also i THINK you've already asked that? but hey i repeat myself all the time lol (my memory sucks), but yeah i'm pretty sure my mom was under-estimating his height....Glenn have u took any pics with chuck norris? that way we could settle the dispute about his height.

Glenn says on 24/Oct/06
On the Glenn page I wanted to mention that I make mistakes,especially if its an inch.and I cant remember if I ask how you were doing?

15and5'7'' says on 24/Oct/06
yeah, she could b wrong though i ain't gonna lie, but man i wish she had gotten a pic! so that way maybe we could've gauged their height? also Lmeister i don't think it was the footwear, i haven't ever seen my mom in heels unless it's a special occassion. she's even taller than every boy, and girl in my school except for 1 outta each, the guy that's taller than her is in the 5'10''-ish or 5'11''-ish range, and the girl is even taller...in the 6'0'' range, but get this she says she's 5'8'' which is complete bull, (note:i go to a christian school not a public school so there ain't as many kids lol) but the body build thing could've been it, my mom's like 100-110 lbs. so yeah, that could be it.

Glenn says on 24/Oct/06
Interesting 15.

Lmeister says on 24/Oct/06
Hmm don't really know, but somehow women in that 5'8''- 5'9'' quite often think that guys in the same range are shorter. Maybe footwear and women tend to look bit taller than guys just because women usually are not as built...

15and5'7'' says on 23/Oct/06
my mom met chuck norris AWHILE back when i was like 5 years at one of my karate tournaments, and she said that chuck looked in the 5'6''-ish range to her. also my mom's 5'8''-5'8.5'' barefoot, unless she's taller, and that would mean a measuring tape isn't a good way to measure height. also i'm pretty sure she hasn't shrunk in height any b/c she's 40...so, i just put my 2 cents in.

Glenn says on 17/Oct/06
I only believe my eyes.and my eyes saw,along with my ladies and peers a 6ft man over a 16 year period,in low cut, casual or dress shoes.so,thats 5-10 minimum.sans lifts.

Jeff B says on 15/Oct/06
Hey, Glenn.......Stallone is nowhere NEAR 5-10. I met that A-hole. 5-8, at the most

Glenn says on 25/Sep/06
He is no smaller than 5-8.a bit over 5-10 in boots.I met him.

Drooperdoo says on 24/Sep/06
Chuck looks EXACTLY the same height as Bruce Lee in the photo where they're both in Karate outfits [and barefoot]. In the other picture, Chuck deceptively appears taller because of his love of cuban heels which gave way later to cowboy boots. Barefoot, he's clearly 5'7''. In big shoes, 5'8''. In boots, 5'9''.

Glenn says on 17/Sep/06
Dont insult my intelligence Danny.that was MY personal experience.my friends thought he was a dick from other encounters they had.

Danny says on 17/Sep/06
it seems that he is a bit over 5 ft 8 then, if his wife in the movie is max. 5 ft 8, so in lifts Chuck would seem few inches taller. and Glenn, I'm sorry but I don't get it how you can call him a dick because of that? He is only human, he can't pose for pictures all day long, maybe he was in a hurry. I have gotten the impression that he is very nice and friendly in real life.

Editor Rob says on 16/Sep/06
Sally Kirkland said in 1993:
"I remember I even went in to play Chuck Norris' wife in something and was told you can't be over 5 foot 8."

FACT!

Glenn says on 7/Sep/06
Kim-Stallone is 5-10.Bruce was 5-7.Chuck might be a hair over 5-8.

Kimberly says on 6/Sep/06
Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee and Sly Stallone are all about the same height. I met Chuck Norris one time and he was only about an inch taller than me and I am 5"7. How exactly does the movies and TV make them look so much taller than they really are?

Danny says on 26/Aug/06
When Chuck was on the Tony Danza show they both seemed exactly the same height and Chuck wasn't wearing his cowboy boots. so 5 ft 8 or 5 ft 9 seems right.

Yes says on 20/Jul/06
Bruce Lee is 5'8" Really
Chuck Norris is 176cm Nearly

Glenn says on 21/May/06
Yes,Chuck is overated.but his films bring me back to my childhood.

Glenn says on 18/May/06
So it was documetary on him obviously? strange.never heard of it.then again I dont have cable or watch TV.anything else interesting they said? I am a Norris/Lee/Bolo/Jim Kelly/Chan/Jet Li fan.nice to meet you Frank P!

My2Cents says on 14/May/06
Chuck and Bruce side-by-side with a slight lean, fully revealing their feet, both wearing shoes:
Click Here
Chuck looks to have about an inch or so over Bruce. Since Bruce is convincingly 5'7" to 5'7.5" (to me anyways), then Chuck is probably 5'8" to 5'8.5", just as Editor's prediction.

Glenn says on 13/May/06
This is Frank from Bkln correct? either way,how you doin? yeah Norris is one strange dude.thats a messed up story.

Glenn says on 28/Apr/06
He was nice to some.yes.but very rude to my friend for years and when I finally saw him he took photos with 3 of us(one guy had a photo with Norris already) and when it was my turn he said "no,I gotta go" 13 years later I still have yet to run into him.I got the shaft.

Elio says on 27/Apr/06
Ayreon,

It's not low of him....it's HIGH of him! :)

---------------------------

Glenn,

I realise this isn't a gossip site, but could you elaborate on why you think he is a d**k? I assume he was rude and refused to pose or something? My impression of this man from the way he comes across in the media was that he was a good guy.

LowFlier says on 27/Apr/06
Chcuk Norris use to skydive near Brownsville TX, I knew the pilot there and he said that CN was onyl 4'8"...the man wears heal lifts to make him appear taller!

Lone says on 19/Apr/06
editor rob, those photos don't do justice to Chuck's height. In Return of the dragon, chuck looks at least 3" taller than Bruce. Bruce is 5-6, so Chuck was 5-9ish. Glenn no comments from you until you see the movie please.

Glenn says on 28/Mar/06
Rob- you met him? what did you make of his height?

[Editor Rob: no, that was a joke...sorry, that was for any "chuck norris facts" fans ;-)]

rick says on 27/Mar/06
i'd say he is about 5'9"

Glenn says on 15/Mar/06
Rug, cowboy hat and boots!

[Editor Rob:

I once had the pleasure of shaking Chuck's hand. That was a mistake. I now only have one arm...

fact!]

Anonymous says on 11/Mar/06
His rug makes him appear taller.

Clive says on 10/Mar/06
OK but as Glenn said, he wears cowboy boots which make him taller !
So it's easy for Chuck to say he's 5'10 with that sort of shoes, I think, like severals celebrities who prentend to be 5'10, that he cheats on his height !

Clive says on 9/Mar/06
Terrence I saw your picture and indeed Chuck doesn't look more than 5'8 compared to Bruce Lee who is effectively 5'7 !

[Editor Rob: there's a number of pics around of bruce/chuck. Chuck was taller, not by much, but Lee could have rounded up. 5ft 7.5 is mentioned a lot for him, in book like 'art of expressing the human body' etc...]

Glenn says on 8/Mar/06
He looked 5-10 in cowboy boots,so 5-7 is possible.he claims 5-10 in a workout book I had when I was a kid.and a he is a dick.

Terrence says on 7/Mar/06
Chuck Norris is probably at least 1.5, maybe 2 inches taller than Bruce. See this : http://brucekickass.topcities.com/bruce-102.html. Probably like 5'7.5 - 5'8".

DudeX says on 1/Mar/06
lemme guess Norris... When you jump in a pool... you don't get wet... the water get '' chucked'' ?

Chuck Norris says on 28/Feb/06
i dont wear a watch.. i decide what time it is

[Editor Rob: When Chuck Norris says he's 5ft 10, you don't argue.]

trueheight says on 9/Feb/06
fyi Frank, cowboy boots can give you up to 4 inches total. Just ask "dog the bounty hunter" who is actually a very fit 5'7"

Chuck Norris says on 31/Jan/06
I am 5.8 without shoes.

Bob says on 23/Dec/05
met him in mid 1980s. 5'9"

sf says on 15/Dec/05
I have a friend at the gym who has actually fought Chuck Norris. This guy is a 7th degree blackbelt and teaches (even in his early 70's) martial arts at a Police Academy in my town. Anyway, we got to talking about this and it dawned on me to ask him how tall Chuck is. He said 5'7", 5'8". This guy has fought Chuck 3 times. Yes, he lost to him.

DP says on 16/Oct/05
I think Chuck struggles to make the 5'7.5" mark these days. There's no question he wears lifts as does Sylvestor Stallone. I'm just jealous because they can both afford CUSTOM lifts and elevator shoes while I'm forced to buy the basic mail order versions. The pro side on me is I'm not a celebrity so nobody is going to be guessing DP's (my initials) height since nobody cares or knows me beyond my little home town. This is the advantage of being a NON celebrity!

I'm well over 5'10" (with those damn lifts and elevators of course) ha ha!

talker says on 27/Aug/05
Norris when young looked the same height with the late Bruce Lee,i believe they were both 5'7" then and Norris probably still is because he seems to keep himself in good shape.

CelebHeights Editor says on 19/Aug/05
From a CopLounge forum: "I met Chuck Norris about 17 years ago when I was an MP in the Marine Corps. He was a special guest of the Base General at an air show. I worked the party afterwords and got his autograph, he's no taller than I am - 5'9"."
