I say 5'8
jtm says on 25/Jul/10
i just saw this site about stallone being 5'7 and this guy mentioned meeting chuck norris and he said norris told him he was 5'7. rudi says on 16/Jul/10
chuck norris isn't 5'8.5". 5'8.5" IS chuck norris. Seth says on 19/Jun/10
Chuck and I are 5'9" and like Chuck, I stood up to bullies when I was in high school, and i'm a mere 140 pounds. But i'm in good shape. burby says on 16/Jun/10
I'm watching Delta Force now, Chuck looks very 5'8" flat in it, and that's at peak. Brad says on 15/Jun/10
Imagine if Chuck spiked steroids for years, knee operations, constant action features....he'd be 5' 6" by now SoLLoS says on 14/Jun/10
Chuck Norris is as tall as he wants ! jtm says on 12/Jun/10
5'7.insider was right all along. RisingForce says on 7/Jun/10
Not 4.5"-5", but we know that he could have 3.75"-4" elevators. Clay says on 3/Jun/10
Do you really think Sly is in 4.5-5 inch shoes? Christ almighty. jtm says on 1/Jun/10
stallone has never been 5'9 or 5'8. he was always around 5'7 just like norris. anonymous says on 28/May/10
stallone's never been 5'9". look at him at the staying alive premiere next to john travolta. 5'8" jtm says on 26/May/10
both norris and stallone were and still is around 5'7. Daniel says on 25/May/10
Norris peak 5'8'', Stallone peak 5'9''. That's all. Larc_6\'2\" says on 21/May/10
Even if Chuck Norris is 5'8.5 he is still taller than Great Khali. RisingForce says on 20/May/10
How does that prove Stallone is only 5'7.5"? He has like 4" on Chuck. Even if he's in 4" lifts and Chuck is in 1" shoes and even if Chuck is only 5'7", then Sly would still be 5'8" there. Of course, I don't buy that Norris is under 5'8". He could easily be 5'8" flat, though. jtm says on 16/May/10
diesal is 5'10 btw. jtm says on 16/May/10
that picture right there proves that norris was never more than 5'7 and stallone was never more then 5'7.5.rising you have contribute a lot in this site. RisingForce says on 12/May/10
rare picture of Chuck with Stallone and 6'1" listed Tommy Morrison. Click Here
Chuck looks 3.5"-4" shorter than Stallone who is shorter than Tommy Morrison despite a camera advantage. Not sure how much Sly got from those black boots he wore in Rocky, but Chuck is almost certainly shorter than Sly and he's listed at 5'9" here.
Maybe Chuck was never more than 5'8"? I certainly have trouble believing anything over 5'8.5" for Chuck now which brings Vin Diesel and Bruce Lee's height into question. If Chuck is wearing his trademark cowboy boots there then he looks really short. ecp3886 says on 3/Apr/10
Chuck norris is really 5 foot 5 inches tall. Mr. Norris wears lifts to appear taller. Danny Devito can attest to that. Take out the lifts and Mr. NOrris could play a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz. But it would be a munchkin with and attitude. Hugh 190-192cm says on 14/Mar/10
5ft 9 peak? RisingForce says on 24/Dec/09
Chuck is old enough to lose height. He's nearly 70 and the average man loses 1.2" by age 70. I doubt Chuck has lost that much though, he still looks 5'8.5"-5'9" like he always has. Dylan says on 16/Nov/09
I wish I knew how tall this guy was or is. He is not really old enought to have shrunk. RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
Chuck and 5'10" listed Michael Bolton in the early 90's. Click Here
Chuck and Michael Bolton a few years ago. Click Here
Chuck had a late growth spurt..... I can't believe how short he looks in that first Michael Bolton picture. I'm going to have to watch The Delta Force again since you all say he looked really short in it. RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
In some scenes in Lone Wolf McQuade, Robert Beltran had a noticeable advantage over Norris, particularly in full body shots. Beltran is listed here at 5'10.25" and Norris may have had a footwear advantage because he was wearing cowboy boots, I don't remember Beltran's footwear. There's also a scene where Norris is barefoot and he looks similar in height to his female co star. She's listed at 5'9" on I M D B, but you never know how accurate that is.
One scene that also has me puzzled is a scene where Norris is in his usual cowboy boots and David Carradine who had just gotten done fighting in a ring(I believe barefoot ro in flat shoes), stands near Norris and has possibly more than 2 inches on him. Carradine is 6'0". LordKevin says on 7/Oct/09
5'8.5 is accurate for Chuck Norris. But the funny thing is that you list Bruce Lee at 5'7 1/2, though in every picture of Lee and Norris, Lee is clearly between 2-2.5 inches shorter. So it's interesting that but Bruce Lee may have actually been under 5'7. RisingForce says on 24/Sep/09
Yeah, 5'8" is pretty nonsensical for Gibson when comparing him to Letterman, Leno, Clooney or Danny Glover. Gibson pulls off looking 5'11" with cowboy boots.
As far as Chuck, what I wonder about is the comparison to Jean Claude Van Damme. Chuck does look the same height/taller than Van Damme whenever they're picture together, but Van Damme is more of a flat 5'9", IMO. I'd assume this is because Chuck wears lifts, but maybe Van Damme could be 5'8.5" himself. Leung says on 23/Sep/09
RisingForce, I agree with 5'8.5" for Chuck.
Mel Gibson I think is 5'9.5". The 5'8" stuff to me is just downgraders nonsense. RisingForce says on 23/Sep/09
It's well known that Chuck wears lifts so that's probably why he looked taller later on. I'll give him atleast 5'8.5" now after reconsidering a bit. A flat 5'8" though? That seems a bit low.
By the way Leung, I was wondering what's your opinion on Mel Gibson's height? A lot of posters think he's 5'8", but I'd say that 5'9"-5'9.5" range is more likely for Gibson. Mark says on 22/Sep/09
Right Leung. Also in the photo above Roland Dante, although hunch backed, still has a 1.5" advantage (compare eye level not hair level). If Roland stood straighter Chuck's eye level would be slightly lower then Roland's nose, or a roughly 2" difference. Also look at the belt line difference. We can't be sure of footwear either, we don't know if Chuck is wearing his usual cowboy boots. I really can't see Chuck at over 5'8" (172-3cm). Leung says on 21/Sep/09
Mark,
Your right he does look short in that movie. In the past I had Chucky at 5'9"-5'9.5" but then Delta Force destroyed that thinking, I wrote about this in a previous post. Mark says on 20/Sep/09
In Delta Force Chuck Norris looked the shortest in the cast. He was 4-5" shorter then a poor postured 6'1"-2" Lee Marvin. In the Octagon he was also about 5-6" shorter then 6'2" Lee Van Cleef (who still had good posture for his age). Chuck was definately wearing cowboy boots though I suspect so was Van Cleef. I would think Chuck Norris is closer to 5'8" tops. RisingForce says on 28/Aug/09
I guess 5'8.5" is fine for Chuck. 1.5" taller than 5'7" Bruce Lee. With his cowboy boots/lifts combo he'd be able to pass for a legit 5'10" on Walker Texas Ranger which he did.
I've seen Brinkley and she's taller than me and I'm 5'8". I'd guess 5'9". I remember they were close in that infomercial, maybe she was a little taller, but I can't remember. Brad says on 24/Aug/09
Chuck is real short with Christie Brinkley in an info-mercial. He's never been 5' 9" in his life. Brian says on 23/Aug/09
Chuck Norris is definitely 5'10"- if his ruler measures otherwise, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks it and tells it to show that he's 5'10", and you bet your a** that ruler will do what Chuck tells it to. mike says on 16/Aug/09
Chuck Norris is a little shorter than I thought but he can still roundhousekick your head off your shoulders. marcus says on 20/Jul/09
yea,chuck is around 5,8.i met him before.im 5'10
il say mr dantes was around 5,10 Anonymous says on 27/Jun/09
5'9" 165, that's it! You guessed right on the nose Rob!
[Editor Rob: that's what the newspaper article was saying. I'm pretty sure this information is from Chuck himself, as it talked about how he used to be 5ft 7 and nowadays wasn't that much taller, 5ft 9 and 165lbs...] Editor Rob says on 24/Jun/09
There was a 1968 newspaper article which mentioned Norris being a 5ft 7 140lb weakling then...now he wasn't a lot bigger - 5ft 9 and 165lbs... Raymond Delauney says on 13/Jun/09
What is it with these photos?! Almost all have been deleted (Photobucket) or the link is dead (tinyurl) Is it not possible to link to something or upload a photo to somewhere where it doesn't get deleted? Suggestions? norris 4 life says on 9/Jun/09
good to see action mega stars like norris van dame jason stathem all under 5'10 i'm 174 ie 5'8 and it's about time we had some small action heros who can kick serious ass lets face it norris could kick the crap out of the shwaraneggers and the 6ft plus ers Tony says on 6/Jun/09
""jf says on 3/Jun/09
Chuck Norris is however tall he wishes to be.""
Exactly... Lmeister says on 6/Jun/09
He could have lost some height. Nowadays he is not 5ft9, he is 5ft8 Click Here Brett Hull 5ft10 makes JC van Damme and Chuck look short and small. Jay says on 6/Jun/09
He could not have worn lifts when he was about 5ft 9 fighting Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon and must have lost an inch since then. RisingForce says on 5/Jun/09
Chuck is barely shorter than Vin Diesel in this picture. Click Here Vin is listed at 5'11.75" here and often wears massive boots. I think it's safe to assume that Diesel forgot his boots that day and Norris was in his usual cowboy boots/lifts combo. But even considering that, Chuck easily looks 5'9" there. Lmeister says on 5/Jun/09
Take a look at the video of Chuck on JC van Damme page. Chuck looks at least 2 inches shorter than 5ft10 former ice hockey player Brett Hull. skang357 says on 4/Jun/09
5'8 or 5'9 in his young days.
Now, 5'6" but with cowboy boots 5'9"
The man is 70 years old and probably shrunk at least 2 inches. Danimal says on 4/Jun/09
Lynn says on 3/Jun/09
Trust me, Norris is around 170 cm ( 5'7" ).
Trust someone who has been caught lying so many times? hahaha. jf says on 3/Jun/09
Chuck Norris is however tall he wishes to be. Lynn says on 3/Jun/09
Trust me, Norris is around 170 cm ( 5'7" ).
He was a medium weight and, WAS BIG. It would have been impossible for him to be a MEDIUM weight in Professional Karate at 174 cm and so BIG! antonio says on 3/Jun/09
Norris with Mike Huckabee, who is listed at 5-11, and a man that I would believe is not a lift wearer, and a man that has no reason to exaggerate his height. As far as I can tell there is a 2.5"+ difference here. That makes Chuck 5-8.5 and maybe closer to 5-8 nowadays.
Rob your right on, with this one.
Click Here Gago says on 3/Jun/09
Nowadays he's around 5'8, I saw him last year. How can you say he's 5'9 in the photo when you can't see his footwear. uk guy says on 3/Jun/09
I was thought he looked 5"9 Alex5 says on 3/Jun/09
Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer. Too bad he's never cried. guyfrommars says on 3/Jun/09
I mentioned before that I've seen an episode of Walker Texas Ranger where Chuck was playing basketball in some gym and he had flat tennis shoes on instead of his usual cowboy boots with heels (plus lifts maybe?) and he seemed quite SHORT compared to the people around him. Ed Kline says on 3/Jun/09
Yes Rob you're allowed to add it, but why is it a good idea that you add it?
[Editor Rob: I thought it is worth adding, as a fan of chuck] RisingForce says on 3/Jun/09
This picture backs up what I've been saying. Chuck is 5'9". Lmeister says on 3/Jun/09
Rob, why did you add this picture? Roland Dantes could have been shorter than 5ft10 and he is obviously slouching in the pic.
[Editor Rob: I'm allowed to add it.] Bob says on 28/May/09
"Odin says on 19/Nov/08"
None of that information you gave me makes me think he has an inferiority complex. If anything, the complete opposite. Many of the greatest martial artists are short - some tall martial artist guy he'd be fighting would appear sluggish and non-threatening. Don't forget Chuck could beat 99.9999% of the people he sees daily. Not picking sides. I myself am only average height at 5'11". Luckily, my self worth isn't tied to my height. Cameron says on 28/May/09
There is no way Chuck is 5-9. 5-8 at best. RisingForce says on 28/May/09
I thought Christie Brinkley looked 5'9" in person and I think think that Chuck is 5'9" as well. I remember Chuck and Christie being similar in height on that total gym commercial. Chuck also looks about the same height as 5'9" Jean Claude Van Damme and 5'9" Tony Danza. He'd have to be atleast 5'9" to come as close to Vin Diesel's height as he did. Scoobette says on 25/May/09
A coworker claims he saw Chuck and he claims Chuck Norris is only 5'1 I was thinking closer to 5'6? Anyone really know? Brad says on 25/May/09
Yeah it does, he looked like a shrimp next to Christie Brinkley in an info-mercial. jjd says on 24/May/09
Chuck Norris's height varies depending on what height he desires everyday Anonymous says on 9/May/09
Chuck Norris 5'9.5" peak/5'8.75" current I believe Greg says on 5/May/09
5´8 seems right, maybe now he lost 0.5 - 1 inch Ali says on 10/Apr/09
Looks like he is 5'9 ish. So the 174 cm listed is correct
I think.
Bruce Lee looked about an inch shorter. Doug says on 5/Apr/09
I saw a clear two inches height difference between Chuck and Bruce Lee, more than inch undoubtedly. If Lee was 5'7.5" Chuck was definately in the 5'9" range, near 5'10" at peak is not impossible. Doug says on 4/Apr/09
Chuck at 5'8"-5'9" would kick the hell out of virtually every guy on the planet. He is literally one of the hardest men in the world living today and not many people would dispute this. RisingForce says on 18/Mar/09
That's because Chuck Norris where's cowboy boots with lifts. A famous shoemaker claimed that Norris asked him to make his cowboy boots with lifts in them so he could still look tall even in fight scenes. Everardo says on 18/Mar/09
Jean-Claude Van Damme is listed here as 5'9 and when they appear together in pictures Chuck always looks a bit taller than Van Damme |
