I always thought 6ft1 Hugh says on 2/May/08
He can look 6ft2 with the right posture. Looked 1.5 inches shorter than 6ft2 Fox. He's more likely to be 184cm.
dmeyer says on 2/May/08
i dont think he is under 5 ft 11.5 i met him James says on 1/May/08
At peak i think Dennis Quaid was 6ft1. Shane says on 29/Apr/08
I've met both Quaid (on the set of Joe vs the Volcano when he was with Meg Ryan) and Fox (on the set of LOST recently). Quaid was at least a solid 6'0 and perhaps even 6'1 since he had a very casual posture. We were all barefoot in the sand and quaid looked a tad taller then Tom Hanks. Fox looks quite tall in person and slimmer then he looks in film. Fox is 6'2 even. James says on 14/Apr/08
I dont think Dennis Quaid is 5ft11 infact he's probably still around 6ft flat Ed(1) says on 12/Apr/08
He looked about 1.5-2 inches shorter than Matthew Fox(6ft2), who looked exactly the same height give or take as William Hurt in Vantage Point. Quaid has top be still close to 6ft, if he's 5ft11 Fox can only be 6ft1 tops, which I wouldn't rule out. James says on 10/Apr/08
8f6? The current tallest man in the world is 8ft4. pisquali says on 31/Mar/08
I agree with Steve from 2 years ago. I'm 8'6'' and he was at least 2 and a half feet plus an inch shorter than I was when we shook hands. Therefore, I'd say 5'11'' for Denis at best. I was looking right down at him from a few inches away so I know this for a fact. Hugh says on 27/Mar/08
It's actually called Vantage Point not Advantage point. James says on 25/Mar/08
Sorry I meant the movie Advantage Point lol James says on 25/Mar/08
He's defnintley 5ft11.5 today because there was picture on the Matthew Fox page and Dennis Quaid is 2.5 inches shoter. The picture is of the two of them walking side by side through a large crowd in the movie 'Vintage'. Robbie H says on 24/Mar/08
he was 2 inches shorter than the 6'2 matthew fox in vantage point-so 6'0 seems good for him Hugh says on 24/Mar/08
I think Quaid is a little over 6ft barefooted and in lift 6ft2. dmeyer says on 23/Mar/08
6 ft peak 5'11.5 now kahn says on 21/Mar/08
but when you type in dennis quaid height on google it says 5'9 but he looks more like 6'1 footballed28 says on 15/Mar/08
I saw Vantage Point recently and he appears to be just over 2 inches shorter than William Hurt, whom I believe to be a legit 6'2er...I say 5'11 3/4 for this guy...what do you think Rob? dmeyer says on 25/Jan/08
he loked a weak 6'1 with cowboy boots so 6 ft flat for this guy clark says on 12/Jan/08
In the pic with Kinnear, Quaid's eyes are about 2-3 inches higher than Greg's.
I say about 6'1 since he appeared about 2 inches taller than 5'11 Topher Grace. James says on 11/Dec/07
his older brother randy quaid towers over him dmeyer says on 28/Nov/07
looks 182 with hurt and fox sam says on 28/Sep/07
There with Kinnear is the shortest I've seen Quaid. Valeri says on 28/Sep/07

If kinnear is 176cm then quaid is only 180cm nowadays.Unless kinnear is at least 5'10. dmeyer says on 24/Aug/07
when i mt hin i had 1.25 in heels so 6'0.25 he had 1.25 in taller than me but he had 2 in cowboy heels who gave aleast 0.5 in advantage on me he was looking 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 in so about 5'11.75 to 6 ft barefeet dmeyer says on 31/Jul/07
he was in incredible good shape when i met hin so doubt he has lost more than 0.5 in might have benn 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 in dmeyer says on 9/Jul/07
i met him he was 1.25 in taller than me but i had 1.25 in heels and he had cowboy who give 1.75 in to 1.8 so aleast 0.5 in advantage so he is indeed 5'11.5 to 6 ft barefeet and aleast 0.5 in taller in his 20s Anthony says on 8/Jun/07
Looks 6' with William Hurt and Matthew Fox, both of whom are 6'2.
Click Here patrick says on 8/Mar/07
NO NO NO! My best friend is exactly 6'1; I re-measured him several times even in cm: always 187 and something in sneackers. OK...Facing once Dennis Quaid, he was unboubtedly shorter by exactly, visibly, one inch; wearing the same kind of shoes.
I must confess that i do'nt understand; i previously would have thought they were alike:6'1. dmeyer says on 2/Jan/07
6 ft no more since he barely looked 6'0.5 in 1.8 cowboy boots when i met him dmeyer says on 16/Dec/06
quaid looked 6 ft to 6'ft 0.5 but he was wearing 1.8 or 1.9 cowboy boots so more 5'11.75 to 6 ft barefeet he might have been 6'0.5 at peak also i alwais imagined the guy 6'2 and he didnt look it even in boots klein was taller than him in 1 inch shoes klein looks close to the 186 mark dmeyer says on 31/Oct/06
he loked 187 cm in 1.75 in boots so 182 183 cm barefeet and grant looked 5'11 no less i worked on american dreams quaid loked 1.5 inches taller than grant but he had 1 to 2 cm heels advantage also cris klein looked 6'1 + dmeyer says on 31/Oct/06
waths weird with frank2 is that evebody is the same height as him quaid clooney hanks pitt something is wrong quaid look 6 feet 1 but had 2 inches boots so 6 feet when i met him hanks was about 6 feet he sees evrebody as 5'11 it dosnt make sens they cant be all the same height some are 5'11 others 6 and 6'0.5 Anonymous says on 9/Sep/06
i doubt dennis quaid has lost height since his 20s.all of my uncles of his age are still the same height.i reckon dennis is 5ft11 -6ft tall range. Anonymous says on 3/Sep/06
when i met him he was 6 2 in boots so 6 barefeet he might have been 6 feet 1 in 20s MTgirl says on 30/Jul/06
A couple years back I saw him with his band playing at the local bar. He was on a stage about two inches high. From the main floor, I could see the top of his head and I felt taller than him. I am nearly 5'10" and was wearing boots (so did he). I concurr that his upper body is short, so it makes him look shorter than he is. I suspect he is 5'10" or less. dmeyer says on 2/Jul/06
i alwais thaught quaid was 6'1.5" but when i met him he looked 184 185 cm range but he was wearing 2" cowboy boot so 6 feet seems right 182 183 cm barefeet Frank2 says on 28/Jun/06
Just watched Wyatt Earp. Quaid played Doc Holiday and standing next to Kevin Costner who played Earp he was obviously shorter by at least two inches. Editor Rob says on 24/May/06
Here is another picture added of the lady in the comment below, Vicki, with Dennis. Vicki says on 24/May/06
I have met Dennis three times, and I sent the different pictures to Glenn. I am 5 ft. 1" and I come up to his chin, the same level I am with my father in my wedding picture. My Dad was 6 ft. 0" so I figure Dennis is 6 Ft. dmeyer says on 21/May/06
i met dennis and hugh grant was 5'11 and dennis about 184 185 cm but he was wearing 5 cm cowboy boots so bare feet about 183 cm max and even in boots he only looked 1.5" to 2" on hugh it means the differnce between them is 1" but in the movie they look 3 inches difference he must wear lifts and play with the angles but maybe quaid was 6'1" at peak but nowaday he is nowere near the 187 he is claiming even in the boots he didnt look it because 2" boots add you about 1 " the guy is between 182 a,d 184 183 is a good guess before i met him i was sure he was 6'2" Frank2 says on 3/May/06
I've met Dennis and he's 5'11". The reports of him being 6'2" are as silly as those reporting Arnold Schwarzenegger as being only 5'10". MD says on 3/May/06
So, you're actually agreeing with me, then, that Dennis is not the full 6'0" given, here. I must have missed your earlier post. I still think Topher is 5'11" which would still give Dennis 5'11". MD says on 2/May/06
Frank,
I'm wondering, what do these pics have to do with Dennis? Did you post these in the wrong persons section? Gotxo says on 2/May/06
Well, it's beyond discussion that he's not over 6' now.
What intrigues me is what Rob has pointed out, how he managed during so much time to mantain the ilusion?
And what he could win doing that? He's not supossed to be gigantic as Arnold, he could have stayed in 6' (wheter is his real height or 1" more).
What advantages do the actors take from such an exaggerations? Better roles they wouldn't play if perceived as short?
[Editor Rob: it might be similar to bale...the 6ft 2 kind of stuck and nobody assumed otherwise for a decade...thats why I'm always trying to find early quotes about height, whether they are right or wrong to get an idea of how they were described early in their careers.] Gotxo says on 18/Apr/06
I'm with Chris, the guy always looked taller than 5'11", he might have scrapped the 6'1" when young. Plus he's not an action star in a so physical sense as Stallone or Arnold are, he does not need such amellioration of his height, there's no reason.
Otherwise he has the best image asesors in the world and has been paying them a fortune for no reason! I want his method to looking 6'2" being 3 inches shorter! Chris says on 17/Apr/06
In the movie Dreamscape (1984), Dennis Quaid looked about 3 inches shorter than Max von Sydow. Sydow was about 6'4'' then and I´d say Quaid has always been around the 6'1'' mark. Today he´s about 6 feet. Gotxo says on 15/Apr/06
It must exist a factual base for a lie or exaggeration.
Glenn has described him at a reasonable 6', i can belive this and really gives a start point to stretch it, you know the mean augment is 2" in Hollywood, so it fits.
And he has looked allways tall, he must be 6' at least.
Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone or the likes have a reason for a constant camerawork, in his case there's no one. MD says on 14/Apr/06
Who knows, but the fact is that he's not 6'0". Frank2 says on 14/Apr/06
Why was Elvis described as being 6'2"? Frank2 says on 14/Apr/06
Dennis is exactly my height or 5'11". Nice man.
[Editor Rob: the big question is how he managed to get described as 6ft 2 in magazines over the years...] Maverick says on 28/Mar/06
In his new movie, 'Yours, Mine & ours' the poster advertising the movie shows Quaid, standing against a door and with one leg pushing against another door!....
What is strange about the picture...i have noticed, is his shoes and it looks like he has got lifts in his shoes to give him extra height!!...his upper body is short and so are his arms, but his legs look long, especially the lower half!..i think he is below 6' most likely 5'10 to 5'11!....has anyone seen the poster?.....he did look under 6' in 'The Day After Tomorrow'... steve says on 13/Mar/06
im 6ft 8 and he was atleast 7 or 8 inches shorter than me when i saw him Glenn says on 15/Jan/06
correct. Sam says on 26/Nov/05
I worked with Dennis for 3 weeks or so back in the early 80's. Back then, I was 5'11 and he was at least 1 1/2 in taller than me. I'd say at present he's at least 6' Gotxo says on 26/Nov/05
Cool finding.
It's obvious he's not 6'2" in spite of in many films he does look it. Dunno what kinds of tricks to reach that appearance that involved. It's obvious that to mantain it a great deal of perseverance is need, so it must imply some kind of reward too. Maybe a contract over his image of leading/though guy.
Whatever, in order to get it, any kind of advantage is needed, so 6' does look right. gyllenhaalic823 says on 25/Nov/05
Dennis IS shorter than Jake Gyllenhaal =)p! It's very obvious in the Day After Tomrrow (that I've watched five million times). CelebHeights Editor says on 23/Aug/05
From gossip Group: "I'm 5'9" and I've shaken his hand twice. I'd be surprised if he's 5'11". He certainly isn't 6'2" by any stretch of the imagination" Anonymous says on 28/Jul/05
i worked all day with dennis he looked 6'1'' but he was wearing 2'' boots so dennis is just about 183 184 cm he is exactly 6'0.5'' very close to 6 ft its funny because i alwais thaught he was 6'2'' maybe he lost 1 inch over the years but right now he is no taller than 184 cm i stood next to him all day so i can say for sure Mr. X says on 26/Jun/05
I would say this guy's probably about 6 ft. He's slightly taller than 5 ft 11 Topher Grace and about same height as 6 ft Jake Gyllenhaal. Grace and Gyllenhaal might had wore lifts, or might be rounding down be about 2 inches, but what are the odds of that? Kenshin says on 21/Jun/05
in one of the movies with chad he look about 2 inches taller than him so he should be 6'2 Smoke says on 21/Apr/05
I'll admit that he's looked this to me at time as well (187 cm), but the more picture that I see of him recently the more I'm convinced that he really isn't as tall as he's always been listed at. Topher Grace is 5'11", and Dennis didn't even look 2 inches taller than him in their movie. dmeyer says on 19/Apr/05
i have a friend who worked on denis last movie a weeck ago and told me that quaid was 187 cm Chris says on 12/Mar/05
Yeah he definately doesn't look 6'2", but while some argue that the taller the better, many also consider 6'0" even to being perfect height. I would say Dennis is just about 6'0" on the dot, definately not quite as tall as his brother. Gyllenhaal also isn't quite as tall for a guy as his imposing sister is for a lady. mike sig says on 24/Feb/05
I saw Dennis at House of Blues with his band singing in 2003. I'm 5'9" and was wearing cowboy boots so 5'11". He came over and talked to a girl in my group that he knew. He performs in his bare feet. I could see the top of his head. I say 5'8" to 5'9". |
