He did? Well then that case is closed I guess. David says on 4/Apr/08
He looks 5'10" in that pic, in his youth prolly was 5'11" or bit more, it doesnt matter too much since hes a great man.
glenn says on 2/Apr/08
he told me he was 6ft. thekiddd says on 1/Apr/08
He was about 6'0 1/2" or 6'1" in his prime. He isn't anymore for sure. Editor Rob says on 10/Jun/07
Here is that second photo glenn mentioned where he looks shorter. dmeyer says on 1/Jun/07
looks 6 ft in that pic dmeyer says on 15/Jan/07
i think he was 6'1 at peak but he did look shorter than uma in kill bill but uma seemed about my heigt when i met her considering the heels she had 4 inches heels seemed 2 inches taller than travolta who had 1 inch on so like 186 in shoes for john so she was about 6'3 to 6'3.25 in heels so about 5'11.5 to 5'11.75 barefeet lets say carradine was a week 5'11 in kill bill in this pic he looks 4.5 inches taller than 172 glenn that means 183 but he isnt standing tall +he wears 0.25 heeled shoes so that means close to 6'2 barefeet maybe carradine has a 2 inches advantage fron the floor Glenn says on 14/Jan/07
For some reason,maybe its the way the photo is cropped in the scan or the way Rob submitted it,he does look taller than I remember even the photo looking like.there is another,taken this moment, Ill submit.with a slouch,and his 1/4 inch super thin soles,he gave me,and I guess others throughout the years, a 5-10ish impression(read Robs on top).with all this Sly talk,maybe he wanted to look as tall as possible? sf says on 13/Jan/07
Easily looks 6 feet there. Glenn, you said below he gives a 5'10" impression. How else are people supposed to take that? Hell, he looks taller than 6 feet in this picture. Alex says on 13/Jan/07
He isn't 5'10" , looks more 5'11". Glenn says on 12/Jan/07
Why is everyone saying 5-10.NOBODY said he was 5-10.REREAD carefully. Joe says on 10/Jan/07
Carradine looks about 6 feet one. 5 10 surely can't be accurate. Dee says on 9/Jan/07
From this photo he looks about four inches taller than Glenn, because Carradine's eyes are about level with the top of Glenn's head. And if Glenn is 5'8" then that would make DC around six feet tall. Did he have boots with big heels on or something? Or else why do you think he's only around 5'10"? VMJMurphy says on 9/Jan/07
From the two recent pictures, if Stevie wonder is 6' then so is David Carradine ... Glenn says on 8/Jan/07
He wrapped his arm around me and demanded we take a couple pics.we discussed the martial arts greats and legends.Im a big fan of the Carradine family in general and of the 70s show Kung Fu.not to mention a horror buff with his father John,and a bit of a Martial Arts aficionado from my youngeryears,so I was in happy fan mode! and he was shockingly nice to me. Editor Rob says on 8/Jan/07
Regardless of how I saw him, this looks the happiest I've seen you in a pic (except for the one you are holding a dog or something in your arms with a band). Carradine looks happy.
Can you recount your meeting with him on this page as I think you mentioned the stuff about him/sly on the sly thread? Chinese slippers? Glenn says on 8/Jan/07
As recent as 3 weeks ago.gives a 5-10 impression at first,due to posture. Anonymous says on 7/Jan/07
If this picture is very recent, it looks as if Carradine is still a six-footer. Brad says on 2/Dec/06
He's really low key interacting with fans. He lightened up with me signing a Kung Fu lunch box over boring 8x10's. Editor Rob says on 29/Nov/06
I would never go up to talk to this man, or pay him outrageous money for an autograph having seen him 'interact' with fans.
When he was getting up to hobble over and give a 'talk' at an event I was near him and I will stick with my estimate...that he he has lost an easy inch or even a little more than that in height by 2006. kene says on 15/Sep/06
hi mark,picture1 of urs shows david wearing shoe lift 2~3inches(6-7cm) next to uma.. he could not be that 5ft11max tall.. not even a barefoot 179cm.. i believe his about 177cm most to be.. J. says on 21/Apr/06
His niece, Ever, is a castmember of the TV series 'Commander in Chief'. She says to the Daily News: "I'm about 5-foot-9, and I'm the shortest adult on the show, so I think it's true that we have the tallest cast on television."
The piece then goes on to reference 'Commander' stars Geena Davis, Harry J. Lennix, Donald Sutherland and Kyle Secor, who according to the article range from '6 feet' to '6 foot 5'.
Actually most of the early press from the show mentions the tallness of the cast. Goes to show you how short most of Hollywood must be!
Frank2 says on 7/Mar/06
Nope. David is six feet. J.J.F says on 30/Oct/05
Erm, those pics basically prove he is 5'10.5" at the most. Uma is definitely no more than 6' Joeblo says on 14/Apr/05
Carradine is 5'10. He's clearly wearing some suspicious cowboy boots (a.k.a. lifts) and Uma is barefoot basically. This is usually done to make the male or star, taller. Uma's 5'11 and Carradine's got a good 2-3 inches of rubber under his feet and looks a bit taller then her. Smoke says on 8/Apr/05
Yeah this guy is tricky, and I guess it all depends on footwear like it does for a lot of people. The day I met Carradine I was in flats, so max .5 inch heal. But from what I remember he defintely wasn't in flats when I met him, like I said he claims to have been 6'1" at his peak, and in comparison to my height he definately didn't seem too much shorter, maybe an inch, while I was in flats. Depending on his shoes he stands anywhere between 180-183 cm nowadays, but in his heyday he could very well have been 184-185 cm. |
