Daniel Stern's Height
6ft 4 (193 cm)
American actor, known for films like Home Alone, City Slickers, Diner and C.H.U.D. In a 1988 edition of The Chicago Times, he mentioned his height: "They were sort of hungry for someone in the teaching position who was a guy, even if it was only a 6-foot-4 kid"

Doesn’t have the typical proportions of a 6ft4 dude. Watching Home Alone it’s evident he’s tall but not in that looming sort of way. But in City Slickers he did look every bit of this.
Today could be dipping below it now

Rob, here in the US, he has been listed at 6’5 for at least the last 10 years or so. I definitely see him as more of a 6’4. What do you think would account for the discrepancy? Could it be to make Joe Pesci seem a tad taller?

Editor RobI don't think he looked that tall even in 90's.

In Bushwhacked when the kids were going through his wallet it said 6’2” I guess he was still growing after that movie lol no just kidding. Movies don’t normally count. No he really is 6’4” he’s way taller than 6’ tall prime Peter Weller when they were together in that monster movie.

About an inch and a half taller than the elderly Jack Palance in a cast photo from City Slickers. So, six foot four is pretty close.

Really never thought he was this tall. I know there's different camera tricks and scenes in movies are made to look certain ways but in the part where Joe pesci's hitting him with the crowbar in Home Alone 1 it doesn't look like there's a full 13 inches between the two of them. In fact at times Stern looks only around 6'0 in that movie, so I'm gonna just assume that he slouches pretty bad. Also there were certain ways the filmmakers wanted it to look at times I suppose.

6'2 n half maybe scrapping 6'3 I think he would be close to someone like Bob Saget or Chevy Chase all in their Prime around that range with him edging out Saget and Chevy Possibly edging out Daniel.

He was definitely 6’4”, he towered over Joe Pesci in the Home Alone films by at least a foot. I know Joe Pesci was actually 5’3” and not 5’4” like Google has down for him, but Marv looked over a foot taller than Harry. There is absolutely no way that he was 6’2” peak, that’s ridiculous, maybe now he could be near that mark since he shrunk a little bit today. Also, if he was really one inch taller than Brendan Fraser who was 6’3”, then he was 6’4” hands down. He maybe looked a bit shorter than 6’4” in the second Christmas Story movie, but that’s because he’s a lot older now and is probably more around the 6’3 or weak 6’4” range now. Daniel was definitely 6’4”.

@ sulu2019 - I am talking about adults, 5'4" is nearer to average than 6'4"! A lot of adult men are 5'4" or under.

6'4" is a towering height, but I think more male celebrities on this site had 6'4" as their peak height than 5'4" or less.

Definitely around 6ft4. There was an easy foot between him and Pesci in the Home Alone movies. He's got dreadful posture though and might appear like a 6ft3 guy at times...

Either he's shrank an immense amount, or Pesci has taken to serious lifts. In a very recent "Wet Bandits" reunion photo they looked WAAAAYYY closer in stature than ever in the past. Perhaps Pesci was standing on something, because it wasn't a full bodied shot. I'll try to hunt down the picture and post it.

Very tall man in earlier 90s and late 80s seemed about 6 4..and bad posture almost always.
He is not this anymore he seemed much shorter by late 90s now he is quite heavy and looks over 6 ft little more.
Funny guy never cared for him in serious roles hes a bit too goofy for that.
He did slouch in many films making him look more..normal.. those crazy long arms always gave him away.
My guess will be peak needs a current field he has to be at least an inch shorter now "6'3"

Yes there was definitely over a foot between him and Pesci in Home Alone (Pesci is around 5'3" or maybe 5'2.5"). I wouldn't be surprised if he was 6'4.5" or even 6'5" either.

I think 6 ft 3.25 in/191 cm is the right mark for him. i'd say he never looked a weak 6 ft 4 in and also 6 ft 3.5 in it's too much for him...I'd say:
Daniel Stern: 6 ft 3.25 in/191 cm
Michael Caine: 6 ft 1.75 in/187 cm (PEAK), 6 ft 0.75 in/185 cm (TODAY)
Max Von Sydow: 6 ft 3.25 in/191 cm (PEAK), 6 ft 2 in/188 cm (TODAY)

In "Hannah and her Sisters" Daniel looks much taller than Max Von Sydow 6'4" and Michael Caine 6'2". Maybe it was the hair, but in that film he looked 6'5" esp next to Von Sydow.

I was thinking exactley the same thing as you anonymous when i saw that film earlier tonight. he does not look 6'4 even with his perm.
I was thinking 6'3 or 6'2 as well when seeing him in that film. I think 6'3.5 is closer for his real height.
this pic is dodgy but i must admit he looks massive near richard gere

Definatly did not look 6'4" next to Joe Pesci. More like 6'2"
and RampageClover 190.8cm, you always seem to give a taller height then the celebrities themselves claim.

Does seem a tad tall. But possible. Unfortunately, the only two actors I can think of standing next to him were Joe Pesci and Roe Scheider, neither of whom are that tall.
