Oh yeah. Why are they being removed is it creating some problems or something?

Lenad says on 28/Jun/08
Hey Rob what happened to some of the other comments and the picture?

September says on 15/Jun/08
Ha, I just watched Deja Vu where someone describes his character as "6'3", black, and not bad-looking". I guess the writers were quite a bit off the mark on that line.

Lenad says on 6/Jun/08
He was about the same height as Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.

Hugh says on 6/Jun/08
I don't think he's less than 6ft but it could be possible that he lost only 1cm. 183cm now and 184cm at peak.

dmeyer says on 29/May/08
peak height 6 ft 0.25 to 6 ft 0.5 and now 6 ft at worst 5 ft 11.75

Lenad says on 25/May/08
5'11 for The Denzel is absurd. He looks 184-185cm there.

Hugh says on 14/May/08
On David Letterman he looked at least the same height.

glenn says on 12/May/08
yes,leung,its possible he is 6-1 tops.but he can look shorter is my point.so its not crazy.just like arnold short sightings.i witnessed that too.

Leung says on 11/May/08
True glenn but you have also said that you have seen him as high as 6’1”. I think you have said Denzel is most likely 6’ and the shorter sighting was bad posture.

Hugh says on 10/May/08
Denzel was either wearing 2 inch lifts or stands 6ft2ins off the ground.

Hugh says on 9/May/08
Looks the exact same height as David Letterman if not a tad taller.

Hugh says on 9/May/08
Rinkydick, get a life. Rob made this website (and Glenn). Rob get rid of that asshole. I'm suprised you've still let him talk to you that way. Sorry for the language everbody.

glenn says on 9/May/08
leung-i mentioned before that denzel gave me and my friends the illusion of 5-10 also.so its isnt rubbish.he can give that impression.

Leung says on 8/May/08
hank goldenshaft says on 7/May/08
I met him at a premiere. I am a solid 6ft he looked like he was pushing 5'10. No joke!

Absolute rubbish. These 5’10” sightings are bollocks and sound like they are made up. The disappointing thing is that it seems that this site is getting more and more populated with these people who pretend they know what they are talking about but are actually clueless about height

Hugh says on 8/May/08
Rob I wouldn't take that crap. You should do something.

Rinkydick says on 8/May/08
Rob what are you gonna do about it? Huh punk? Exactly get lost prick

hank goldenshaft says on 7/May/08

Rinkydick says on 7/May/08
Anonomous get real. Unless you are a close friend of a celebrity, I highly doubt you'd eat dinner and have a friendly conversation with someone like Denzel Washington

Hugh says on 6/May/08
182-183cm is well out of the question. 184cm likely. He is definately not below the 6ft mark.

dmeyer says on 6/May/08
to he consistenly looks 6 ft ll the times he can look about 184cm in some movies i think 184 peak 183 now dosnt loo to have lost height 1 cm if so

Rinkydick says on 6/May/08
Clearly looks 185-186cm there? More like 180-181cm if he stood right next to Glenn not 185-186cm.

silk says on 6/May/08
i met denzel at one of my basketball games and im 5 10 to 5 10 and a half and i would say he was about a good 2 inches taller then me. didnt notice what kind of shoe he was wearn

Charliemoto says on 5/May/08
sorry but he isn't 5'11 i'm 180-181cm and he is CLEARLY taller than me in shoes, i'm around 183-184cm in 1 inches shoes, he clearly looks 185-186cm there, sure he's closer to the camera and glenn is leaning slightly but thats all.

he is 182-183cm barefoot and was probably 184cm 10 years ago, he didn't lose much height maybe 1cm at most, he did age though, i think he's got bit of issues with his teeth because the way his mouth looks his cheeks has sinked in quite a bit compared to the early years but that's normal. ;)

he is an excellent actor and 182-183cm now

bam says on 5/May/08
he looks tall and wide in the pic with glenn, and in most pics.

Bruce says on 4/May/08
when your body looks quite expanded and you are a 6'0" person you kinda look short & it's almost unbelievable when you tell people your height. i seem to believe he is 6'0.5". The only height i always wish i could ever be is 6'2" because i think it's more sleek and trendy and looks very fierce. am 5'10.5" & i have been around alot of 6'0" people and i dont ever feel short. I actually feel extremely comfortable.

Mike Zappa says on 4/May/08
He is 5-11 was clearly shorter than Ray Allen and he is never big around tall guys
when he played ball with Ray height was something important to guard him and I saw 5 inches if you think Denzel is taller than that maybe you saw another movie with the same name

Ian says on 3/May/08
I agree with Rinkydick he looks 5ft11 here and it looks as if he is standing closer to the camera. If he were 6ft0-6ft0.5 his eyes would see over glenn's head.

Charliemoto says on 3/May/08
he's a proper 6'0 but in the movie John Q (great movie btw) he looked 6'1.5 so i do not exclude 6'0.5 about 10 years ago.

6'0 is most likely current height though.

Antron says on 3/May/08
Nowhere near 6'0 rinkydick? 5'11 seems pretty close to 6'0' to me.....

bad radio says on 2/May/08
Nah man...he looks 6'1 ...possibly 6'2.

Rinkydick says on 26/Apr/08
James buddy, he is 5ft11 and he might've lost 1cm but he is using the 1 inch rule in Hollywood. If you look closely you will see that Washington is stepping closer to the camera. Thats how he looks like a 6footer. Don't be decieved.

Rinkydick says on 25/Apr/08
Look closely at that pic. If you look carefully you will notice that Denzel is stepping closer to the camera which makes him look like a 6footer. If he stood next to Glenn he looks defintly 5ft11. He wishes he was 6ft1. Denzel is not anywere near 6ft0. Never was, never will be.

Hugh says on 24/Apr/08
He's a pretty big guy though. He's not much more than 6ft but he's pretty broad in appearence.

Hugh says on 24/Apr/08
Inside Men. Looked exactly the same height as legit 6ft2 Clive Owen.

Hugh says on 22/Apr/08
Denzel I think has lost no height. 6ft0.5.

Ray says on 18/Apr/08
If Glenn witnessed Denzel at 5'10"ish then there's no way he's 6'1" never mind 6'2".

ed says on 17/Apr/08
just trying to figure out how 5-9 or 5-10 Josh Brolin is the same height or even slightly taller in some shots of American Gangster when he steps to Denzel.

Hugh says on 17/Apr/08
Denzel's at least 6ft if not much more.

BlackRay says on 16/Apr/08
Denzel has always looked six foot even.

Charliemoto says on 15/Apr/08
denzel is a proper 5'11.5 right now but at least 10 years ago he was 6'0 for sure.

i'm 5'11 and he's clearly taller by at least 2cm.

Yaspaa says on 15/Apr/08
18 stone 8 lbs

Leung says on 14/Apr/08
I don’t believe that Denzel has been anything close to 260lb, I think someone just plucked that number out of the air. Even at his fattest the most I could imagine him being is 215-220lb, and he is normal weight probably approx 195-200lb.

Hugh says on 14/Apr/08
18 stone.

Hugh says on 13/Apr/08
How about 260lbs. Does he look it to you?

Hugh says on 11/Apr/08
6ft2 for Bale and 6ft1 for DiCaprio don't sound too ridiculous. But in this case it's not the height. It's the weight. Does he look 260lbs to you James.

Hugh says on 8/Apr/08
6ft2, 260lbs as claimed by The Guardian. How about that for EXTREME!

Hugh says on 5/Apr/08
I've never seen him look below 6ft. I've seen him at 6ft2 a few times.

glenn says on 2/Apr/08
denzel could look anyhwere from 5-10.75 to 6-1 depending.he must be 6ft then.

Anonymous says on 2/Apr/08
Glenn I'm not so sure because if you see the movie He Got Game. NBA star ray Allen who's listed 6'5" and was listed 192 cm by at the 2000 Olympics looks a good 5 inches taller than Denzel in the movie and they stand next to eachother multiple times. Either Ray is 6'5" or Denzel is an inch or 2 south of 6'0". He could be 5'11" or maybe a bit under.

glenn says on 1/Apr/08
like i always said,it was an illusion i hope.

Clark says on 30/Mar/08
If michael is closer to 6'3", than Denzel is obviously shorter...

glenn says on 30/Mar/08
me and my peers witnessed denzel look 5-10ish once.

Clark says on 29/Mar/08
I took a look at the Denzel/Michael Moriarty picture. Three things are obvious: First, Denzel is wearing that Wesly Snipe, plateua Afro, that gives him over an inch or so in height, that is pure FRO height. Playing opposite a balding man with a crown of NOTHING on the top of his head. Draw a line from the bald spot over the top of Denzels head, and you can see where Denzel maybe about 3-4 inches shorter, and the fact that the other actor has a huge melon. And notice that the other actor is probably slocuhing--you can see a crease in the midesction of his Army uniform, while Denzel's is straight and perfect while he tries to get all the height he can. ok. maybe that was four things, but Denzel would be considered a very weak 6'1"--I think he is about 6 feet, and that is it. And he does not really look that much taller than Glenn.

Hugh says on 27/Mar/08
It's not so much the height I'm concerned about James and yes I know that quote has been used, I forgot to type Celebheight Editor says on 8/feb/06 before it. Does he look 260 pounds to you

DenzelFan says on 26/Mar/08
Well this guy sure as hell didn't have be 6'4 to be likable among those people who are attracted to tall people. My conclusion is somewhere between 6' to 6'1. Come on you people are exaggerating on those 2 cm. If you google Denzel and Will Smith I'd say Will Smith, who according to many is slightly under 6'2, is an inch taller.

Hugh says on 26/Mar/08
'He offers his hand and my own dissapers within his grasp, He stands 6ft2ins, weighs a good 260 pounds'

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT!

Judging by what he looked like next to 6'3.5" Ray Allen Denzel is 5'11" max.

Jamie says on 19/Mar/08
Yep, 6ft no taller, whats wrong with having two Jame's on the page?

Leung says on 17/Mar/08
It’s all good James. I see that you have come to your senses on the Val Kilmer page with the realisation that Kilmer is most probably 6’. I was just a bit annoyed before because you were going along with the 5’10” stuff.

sam says on 13/Mar/08
this is rediculous, u can't tell if he shrunk half an inch!!! most likely if he cranked himself up to full posture he'd be the same height he was in his 20's

Leung says on 12/Mar/08
James, in addition to my comments on the Val Kilmer page, I wanted to point out to you that in Déjà vu Val Kilmer and Denzel Washington are both the same height. Washington being a solid 6 footer means that Kilmer is also a 6 footer.
Since you are stating 6’1” for Washington then you have no right to be claiming 5’10” for Kilmer, I don’t want to hear anymore nonsense about Kilmer being 5’10”.

Jamie says on 11/Mar/08
well james, Denzel has never really looked anything more than 6ft to me. just watch the Manchurian Candidate and you will see Liev Schriber has a solid 3 inches over Washington. Liev Schrieber aint even a full 6ft3 since he is listed 6ft2.75 on this site. in your defense though he could have been 6ft.25 or 6ft.05 in his 20's. but as you can see in the picture with glenn above there is MAX 4 inches between the two so Denzel cant be anything more than 6ft even nowadays.

Hugh says on 6/Mar/08
260lbs! That's just inhuman. 6ft2 I might beleive but 260lbs is something else.
How can someone standing 6ft-6ft3 with an average build way that much. It just
doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

James the second says on 1/Mar/08
no they were the same size you must need your eyes testing if you thought Denzel was nearly 2 inches taller lol

James the second says on 24/Feb/08
hello we another james on this page anyway Tom Hanks is not 5ft11 he is 6ft (close to 6ft1 in youth)

MotownCrystal says on 24/Feb/08
6ft-6ft 1 and nothing less or more

Denzel beside Ray Allen

runt says on 7/Feb/08
I don't remember Russel Crow looking taller than Denzel Washington.

Chris says on 7/Feb/08
In The Great Debaters there are 1.5 inch diffirence between Denzel and Forest Whitaker standing next to eachother, but movies is not that good to compare heights.

AshnarLynx says on 12/Jan/08
In his latest film "The American Gangster" he doesn't even look 6 ft. Russell Crowe looks taller in many scenes and he's not even a full 6 ft! He must've shrunk, he's over 50 anyway.

James Mazon says on 6/Jan/08
Hey. I thought this guy was 6'2". He looks quite tall on tv, as he does on the picture with glenn. But maybe it's the cap.

dmeyer says on 5/Jan/08
in deja vu there is 3 6 footers together denzel ,greenwood,kilmer,denzel has the hedge but it could be posture ,or angle so they are all 6 footers denzel can loos 184 alot in movies and his shoes are low cut in most movies

Matthew says on 1/Jan/08
I'd say 6 foot, he doesnt look very happy about being acosted for a photo there lol..

glenn says on 1/Jan/08
ive seen denzel give a 5-10.5 illusion,and had witnesses that opened their mouths before me.then he can look 6ft.never really more than that.

Shaq is 7'1" says on 31/Dec/07
6'3.5" Ray Allen looked 4-5 inches taller than him in the movie he got game.

Ilie A\'bout Myhite says on 31/Dec/07
Old chinese proverb say "Never judge an actor's height based on a movie". Washington was on the Parkinson show and was about the same height as Parky. We're talking 5ft 11 at max. The picture with Glenn confirms this. I'm sure he believes he's 6ft 1. Remember guys we even lie to ourselves about our height!

C. says on 24/Dec/07
@ mdg17: 5'10" is more or less the average for the younger male generation, but 5'9" (give or take) is still average. Even 5'8" is not particularly short. Usually two inches above the mean is tall, and two inches below is short. 5'11", while not 6'+ is still quite tall for a man. It's the equivalent of a 5'7" woman.

Kevin Durant says on 21/Dec/07
Ray Allen is actually measured at 6'3.5" in the 1996 NBA Pre Draft measurement, and he can at leasts look like 3-4 inches taller than Denzel Washington.

Billy says on 21/Dec/07
he didnt look that much shorter then ray allen in he got game, and they were both wearing basketbal shoes

mdg17 says on 26/Nov/07
For white and black men 5'10" is average, so 5'11" is no more tall than 5'9" is short (which it isn't).

ted T says on 26/Nov/07
5-11 certainly isn't short nor average so it can definetely considered tall range.

mdg17 says on 24/Nov/07
5'11" is not tall unless you're Asian, or of native/tribal ancestry. Black and caucasian men average around 5'10".

anon says on 22/Nov/07
he looked 6ft 1 starring in the movie 'Man on Fire'.

C. says on 21/Nov/07
It always makes me laugh when people state 5'11" as 'not tall'. That IS tall, lol. But I'd say 6', not 6'1".

Jonas says on 21/Nov/07
I think Denzel tends to get casted with tall actors, so it makes him seem not as tall. He looks 6'-6'1" in his pics. A little bit taller than Ethan Hawk who looks 5'10"-5 11".

funksmell says on 19/Nov/07
Hmmmm, surprisingly looked taller than Leno, last week. A big guy to boot!
But was at least 3 - 4 inches smaller than self proclaimed 6'1.5! Jonathan Ross recently. I can't see Leno smaller than 5'10", perhaps Ross was wearing big heels.

runt says on 8/Nov/07
Some people on here have said that he looked shorter than Val Kilmer in Deja Vu. To my eyes it wasn't the case. They are the same height.

sweetchari says on 5/Nov/07
To be honest I much as I admire Denzel, I never thought of him as tall. Even in the pic with Glenn he does not seem like he is any taller tan 5'11" to me.

Stan says on 5/Nov/07
i met him before..im 6`1...i do recall him being same height as me (hard to say with shoes on,etc)

trueheight says on 3/Nov/07
Denzel can look 6'1 in some films - he looked a full 6in taller than Willem Dafoe in Inside Man; and Jodie Foster was under his chin while wearing 3-4in heels.

dmeyer says on 2/Nov/07
looks 182 to 184 cm in pics his footwear is very normal 1 to 1.25 in my guess is 183 cm

6'0.5 peak 6' now

on the internet he is listed 6 ft to 6ft0.5 in so the internet lsting are accurate sometimes like pitt is listed many places 5'11

Cpt Crunch says on 11/Oct/07
Here's Denzel with 5-11 Hugh Grant on the cover of GQ. I'm sure that Grant's publicist is not interested in making him look short or making Denzel look tall!

Cpt Crunch says on 11/Oct/07
Looking at the pic from Anonmyous on 15/Sept/07 it jibes with the fact that Denzel looked almost 2" taller than 6' Lou Diamond Philips in the same movie

derek says on 10/Oct/07
I think he is at least 6'.05.... Too many 6'1 sightings and looks it in movies.... He looked only one inch shorter next to 6'2 Clive Owen in Inside man and looked it a lot elsewhere too.

bam says on 10/Oct/07
i ordered the book By Any Means necessary.. The Making of Malcolm X. I'll investigate to see if Denzel claims to be "a shade under 6 foot." If this claim is indeed true, then Denzel has always worn small lifts, because during the premiere of Training Day he was 2 inches taller than Ethan Hawke who is 5'10.5. Denzel also appears a smidgen shorter than tom hanks, who is 6' even.

jimmy2k says on 10/Oct/07
Sorry Terri, but that doesn't work! since 5'11 and 6 feet are just an inch apart, two individuals can practically wear the same clothing. Bad comparison girl! Instead, if u said ur son was 5'9 or 5'10 I'd buy it, but even then, sweaters can stretch and retract!

Jack is back says on 10/Oct/07
I'll never forget the part in Deja Vu where the girl asked for the description of Doug Carlin and the cop said " hes black, about 6'3...."

WOW...way off buddy.

Terri says on 28/Sep/07
I bought my 5'11" 180 pound son, a sweater that Denzel wore as part of the wardrobe for The Great Debaters. It fits him perfectly...does that help at all? Not sure if shoulder to wrist measurements are able to determine an individuals size.

Chris says on 18/Sep/07
The difference between the two looks less than 2.5 though. The other possibility is of course, Denzel could be wearing lifts to make him more of tall, strapping sort of uniformed soldier.

glenn says on 17/Sep/07
i agree leung.

Leung says on 17/Sep/07
That picture does look odd but there could be a simple explanation.

Ok Denzel is probably 6’ most of the time, but sometimes he could very well be 6’1” fresh out of bed.
And what if Michael Moriarty has been working hard and not getting much rest for a couple of days, he could be closer to 6’3” rather then his usual 6’4”. Combine these two scenarios together and what would normally be a 4” difference is now a 2.5” difference.

Anonymous says on 16/Sep/07
Well I'd say it says alot. In a military movie like the one the pic is taken from, I imagine the director (if he's good) would be constantly making sure that the men in uniform would be standing very straight, so there would hardly be any slouching from Michael Moriarty.

Viper says on 16/Sep/07

Denzel might be 184cm juding from another picture I was looking through on the internet with him and Russel Crowe on the set of the film American Gangsta. Denzel in that picture is or is nearly 2 inches taller than Russel Crowe who is 5ft10.5 so maybe an upgrage to 6ft.05 is in order?

If you type in "denzel washington and jay z" in google images you will find the photos. there's even a photo that shows that denzel has a taller sitting height than Jay Z, which makes it unlikely that denzel has lift help.

In the book, By Any Means Necessary: The Trials and Tribulations of the Making of Malcolm X was 6'3", and Denzel says something about being a shade less than 6'. I bet he's 5'11.5" right on the money.

looks 6 feet no more no less in john q he claims 6'1 might have been 6'1 morning and 6'0.25 night and now 6'0.5 to 6'0.75 morning and 6 ft flat night does look a legit 6 footer

Derek says on 3/Feb/07
He had quite a bit of height on Robert Duvall in John Q. Looked at least 6'.

Anonymous says on 3/Feb/07
he always looks at least 6ft, I would even say little over like 6.25 but in Deja Vu some angles he was same height as Val Kilmer and some he looked noticably taller.

dmeyer says on 2/Feb/07
denzel seems to be strong 6 ft like 6 ft before bet and 185 out of bed maybe he is 6'1 in the morning or 6'0.75 aniway a 6 footer is suposse to be over 6 ft in the morning so he is about 6 ft or 5'11.75 before bed like you rob you are 5'8 because you are 5'8.6 174.2 in morning and 172.7 at night so you are a true 5'8er you could get away with 5'8.25 like proper 173.3 cm

Big Dave says on 8/Jan/07
I think his listing here is about right. There is a scene in the film Out Of Time where he sees eye to eye with 6ft Dean Cain. I think at his peak he probably was 6'1 though; he certainly looked it in the early 1990's.

Spence says on 6/Jan/07
Hes pretty much 6'1 Hes a solid 6'0 184

Glenn says on 5/Jan/07
Thats hysterical.

Gotxo says on 4/Jan/07
Huh & Viper:
That's quite funny cause in the spanish version (we always dubb 90% of films)he's described as 183cm and i was wondering what height was expressed on foot & inches on the original version.
3" more...big fat liars.

[Editor Rob: a case of even the spanish translator not having any of it and giving the 6ft, nice]

Viper says on 1/Jan/07
I laughed when they said he was 6-3 in the movie.

Huh says on 23/Dec/06
In the film Deja Vu-they claim he is 6-3 tall!!!!! what a lie, great actor tho

Glenn says on 22/Dec/06
See what I mean about Denzel? he has DMX posture.shrinking to 5-10.6ft max.

Anonymous says on 21/Dec/06
I don't thinks so.

Saw him on Jonathan Ross show, Denzel was about 3 or 4 inches shorter. Ross says he is 6'1"
SO I don't think he is the full 6 foot!

Glenn says on 15/Dec/06
Thank you Jerk.see what I mean.tricky guy.

Glenn says on 4/Dec/06
I never said he is 5-10,but he gave that strange illusion to my friend and he pointed it out to me as Denzel walked by.I saw the same.and look at my pic.Im sure he is at least 6ft in reality.

Anonymous says on 3/Dec/06
Glenn, you really witnessed him looking 5'10"? He's never looked short to me but before seeing this site I would have guessed him as a 6' tall guy in regular shoes or 5'10"- 5'11" barefoot, judging by what i've seen on TV of course.

APP says on 21/Nov/06
In his youth, 184cm. Now, 183cm - I think

dmeyer says on 30/Oct/06
i think 6'0.5 at peak ant 6'0 but steel look 184 most of thje times

Viper652 says on 30/Oct/06
He looked 6-0 next to legit 6-1 baseball player Barry Bonds. Fairly convincing for me.

Glenn says on 30/Oct/06
Like I said a few times.he is suspicious.I saw from 5-10.5 to 6ft,different occassions.

dmeyer says on 29/Oct/06
that pic with hanks proves he is around 6 feet and 6'0.25 is very accurate height for hanks since i am 181 at 2 pm and he was nearly an inch taller maybe less so hanks is in the 183-4 zone

dmeyer says on 29/Oct/06
in movies he does look in the 184 range slightly taller than bruce willis only 1.5 smaller than clive 1 in taller than dean cain and a lidl taller than walken

Spence says on 29/Oct/06
5'10? ur joking right. If there was ever a guy who looked a solid 6'0 it is Denzel. He is a solid 6' tall guy . Watch Malcolm X he looks big in it. I give him 184

Anonymous says on 28/Oct/06
To me, he has always looked a solid 5'10. He is known to wear lifts for roles. 5'10 barefoot max

sam says on 25/Oct/06
He is a big dude. Even though he may not be that much over 6 feet tall, he probably weighs at least 200 pounds, so he can look like a tank next to skinny people.

Austrian says on 24/Oct/06
yea Washington looks really big in the inside man

Glenn says on 17/Oct/06
Denzel,like LL are the only 2 black celebs that are chameleons of height.that I can think of.Denzel,me and my friends witnessed a low of 5-10.

Anonymous says on 5/Oct/06
I was actually surprised to see him listed this height. For some reason or another he always struck me as 5'10" or so. He just never looked that tall on screen. Having said that he did look 6' Compared to Chiwitell and Owen in Inside Man.

[Editor Rob: looked an easy 6 footer in that film...]

Anonymous says on 28/Sep/06
watch his films and tv interviews and watch him closely. he is 5,9 for sure

[Editor Rob: I think strong 6ft is more reasonable]

Chris says on 18/Sep/06
Rob, Denzel is listed as 6'½'' on a few places, do think he could be that, cause has stated his height as 6'1''.

[Editor Rob: in 2005 he was 6ft 0.25 here]

J. says on 10/Aug/06
I don't want to turn the site into a movie review forum, lol, but Rob, is Inside Man a snoozer, hence you not paying much attention to it? I'm asking because I have plans to rent it.

[Editor Rob: its not a snoozer, I do work and sometimes have movies on the go on my tv, that's all...]

Ed says on 9/Aug/06
Hard to make out, but Denzel looked about 1 inch plus shorter than Clive Owen in Inside Man. 6ft sounds pretty accurate!

[Editor Rob: I wasn't paying much attention to this film, but yes he looked in most scenes a *solid* 6ft no less, beside dafoe and chiwitell...although sometimes on those sidewalks it varies]

Viper652 says on 25/Jul/06
He really does look 6-0.

dmeyer says on 23/Jul/06
i think he is 183 pushing 184 cm

Glenn says on 16/Jun/06
I seen him look between 5-10 and 6ft.weird.

Steve Johnson says on 14/Jun/06
Been with him at a couple of events in NY and he was a gentleman
(we are not friends) he is about 5" 11.5" and no more.

Pierre says on 12/Apr/06
he looked one inch shorter than owen in inside man. i'd say he is 6 foot one, maybe a cm more.

tgri says on 2/Apr/06
omg , i just met him yester day on a film set .hes 6'0.

yea says on 26/Mar/06
looked about 2 inches shorter than Clive Owen (6'2) in Inside Man

Glenn says on 22/Mar/06
Usually looks 6ft.on rare shocking occassion 5-10.5.I swear.

Jim says on 21/Mar/06
I don't think he's any less than 6'1. Pictures taken at the premiere of INSIDE MAN, show Denzel to be pretty much the same height as Clive Owen (listed as 6'2), when Owen and Denzel stood side by side.

Gonzalo says on 14/Mar/06
He was in a movie with NBA superstar Ray Allen, listed as 6-5 (with shoes, of course). He was obviously shorter but didn´t look like a midget compared to him. I would say he is slightly over 6 feet

Anonymous says on 6/Mar/06
How come he looks shorter than Tom Hanks in Philadelphia if Tom Hanks is only 5'11"

Glenn says on 4/Mar/06
my friends witnessed his change in height.from 6-1 to 5-10.

yoto says on 27/Feb/06
he is tall.He is maybe near to 6'2''.Rob why you are downgrading Denzel.Put him at 6'1 he is a big guy.

Asi9 says on 26/Feb/06
In the photo, is Glenn the same Glenn that comments on this Board? If so how accurate is the reported 5ft 8in height? Considering that Glenn is standing a bit further away from the camera than Washington and is not wearing a hat, the difference in height between "Glenn" and Washington is not very great.

Tubbs says on 13/Feb/06
Yeah, I must admit Denzel is nearer to the camera, so as you say Viper, he is at the very least 6'0, the angle does give off the impression that he is 6'1 i suppose.

Viper652 says on 13/Feb/06
Also Denzel is so much closer to the camera, so it would appear he would be 6-1 from that angle, but If he moved in closer, he would look an inch shorter.

Viper652 says on 13/Feb/06
Really?? its hard to tell from that angle. What Im meant was, he is AT THE VERY LEAST, a solid 6-0 in that pic. He might be 6-1, its hard to tell since its a terrible pic to judge from. Since some people have said he looks below 6-0 at times.

Tubbs says on 12/Feb/06
Viper, whats up with your eyes pal? Denzel looks taller than Bonds, atleast 6'1 surely.
