I was watching pelican brief and there is a scene with denzel and 6 ft. 4 john lithgow. Denzel looked max 6 ft. Next to him. It was clear as day. His head was under lithgow eye brows. He isnt 6 ft. One bk says on 7/Mar/10
Saw him at a premiere for Great Debaters, he looked a good 6'1", he has a pretty big frame so maybe 6'0.5". Anonymous says on 6/Mar/10
Rob, maybe 6 feet 1/2 inches and 6 feet 1 peak...if not a bit over 6 feet 1/4 inches rob still...he's a strong 6 footer either way and in his flicks does not look short! RisingForce says on 6/Mar/10
6'0.5" is probably accurate because he doesn't always look a full 6''1", but he can look that tall. Good picture. Anonymous says on 5/Mar/10
6'0.5. looks it next to 6'3" michael moriarity: Click Here RisingForce says on 4/Mar/10
Denzel was atleast as tall as 6'0.5" guys like John Travolta and John Turturro in The Taking Of Pelham 123, if not a hair taller. He also looked about the same height as James Gandolfini who is listed here at 6'0.75".
Here he also looks no shorter than 6'0.5" if David Beckham is 5'11.5". Click Here Actually, I see him more at 6'1" there.
In general, I'd bet he's 6'0.5"-6'1". chami scott says on 2/Feb/10
Denzel is/was 6'1 at peak height. he is an old man now, probably lost an inch. But he was 6'1 at some time in his career. in He got game...Ray Allen is about 6'6 Denzel looked 6'1 next to him for sure. Also, Alot of Celebrities wear questionable shoes to give than an edge. gene Hackman is well known to be quite tall...my guess is 6'3 at his peak. In Superman, he is seen eye-to-eye with Christofer Reeves...known to be 6'3 easily maybe 6'4 in his red boots. Jon 183cm says on 26/Jan/10
watched book of eli today. stacked up quite well against some of th guys in tht film, who are fairly tall themselves, especially 6'4" Ray Stevenson. Looked over 6', maybe 6'1" stacked up against him. Hugh 190-192cm says on 10/Jan/10
But Denzel can often enough look taller than 6"0 on screen like 6"1 or 6"2. Lou says on 7/Jan/10
Anyone who looks to be 6' on screen is guaranteed not to be over 5'10. Anyone who looks 5'10 is 5'8. Trust me, I've seen them in person. Hugh 190-192cm says on 30/Dec/09
185-186cm out of bed? Hugh 191cm says on 22/Dec/09
6"0 flat at the lowest. Great actor. 183-184cm is probably dead on. Lenad says on 18/Dec/09
Probably a solid 185cm out of bed Richard says on 1/Dec/09
He does look 6'1, incidentally he's an awesome actor...one of my favourites :) Anonymous says on 12/Nov/09
I saw a picture of him next to Sam Cassell who is a solid 6'3 and he was at least 2 or 3 inches shorter. I would say 6'0.75 prime and 6'0 now. Karl Karlsen says on 27/Oct/09
NO WAY much over 6ft. He's 6'0.25 MAX... I think 6' is right. Original says on 27/Oct/09
He's a solid 6'. Hugh 191cm says on 26/Oct/09
6ft0.75 peak and 6ft0.25 now? James S says on 5/Oct/09
When he was standing next to Ethan Hawke, he looked close to two inches taller.
So if Ethan Hawke is somewhere around 5'10(which here is he is listed as 5'10.5 which sounds accurate), then yes Denzel is a hair over 6'0. Definitely not short, neither of them. valeri says on 1/Oct/09
by robs height I meant the height at which rob states Denzel ofcourse. valeri says on 28/Sep/09
I think Denzel is at least Rob's height.Actualyl I think h is around 6'0.75,almost 6'1. SixTwo says on 23/Sep/09
uhh i meant 6ft SixTwo says on 23/Sep/09
he is a legit 6ft1 valeri says on 21/Sep/09
Very interesting concerning Denzel Washington,for sure the man never ever wears lifts because he was in movies with some 5'11 and 6ft guys.here are soem examples of where denzel seems to look only 6ft at best.
Click Here - with tom hanks in philadelphia
Click Here - with Mel Gibson,who is 5'9.5 ?
Click Here - with Val Kilmer in DEJA VU, who is 6ft?
Click Here - with 6'2(?) Clive Owen he looks 2 inches shorter if Clive would raise his head like Denzel.
Click Here - with 5'10(?) Christopher plummer he looks about 2 inches taller
Click Here - does look a legit 6'1 next to 6'3(?) Liev Schreiber

peak-184
now-182 dmeyer says on 13/Aug/09
looked similar height with turturo in 123 Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
That's about right nowadays, Dylan. 6ft1 peak and 6ft0.5 now. Mr T-Cakes says on 9/Aug/09
There is a pic' on here where Washington is with Mel Gibson and they look the same in height. Undoubtedly Mel has got "help" in the footwear department. But I guess to be near Denzil's height he'd have to be average size even with lifts. I reckon 6ft is right for Washington. Dylan says on 2/Aug/09
Right now he is 6'.5 in the 80s he was 6'1 runt says on 18/Jul/09

Denzel can see over the top of her head. I'd say Denzel is more than just 1.75" taller than James Woods... bam says on 12/Jul/09
i disagree I saw a strong 2 inches between him and hawke. Hugh 190cm says on 29/Jun/09
In Inside Men he could look near 6ft2 aswell next to Clive Owen. Hugh 190cm says on 29/Jun/09
Actually 182-183cm in Training Day. Hugh 190cm says on 29/Jun/09
184-185cm American Gangster, 183-184cm in Deja Vu, 186-187cm in Malcom X, 184-185cm in Man on Fire, 185-186cm in The Hurricane. 185-187cm in his General Hospital days.
Maybe a weak 6ft1. No lower than this height. MIKESOWELL says on 27/Jun/09
How could Denzel have been shorter in Training Day than in American Gangster when he was 7 years younger in Training Day? Lenad says on 27/Jun/09
training day 183-184cm american gangster 184-185cm Philadelphia 184-185cm Hugh 190cm says on 27/Jun/09
6ft1-6ft1.5 in the Hurricane. Hugh 190cm says on 24/Jun/09
Hold on Ethan Hawke is 5ft10.5. So yeah Denzel could look 184cm at times in Training Day. 2 inches between them at most. DejaVu says on 24/Jun/09
He is clearly shorter than 6'1 Keanu Reeves though. Leung says on 23/Jun/09
Denzel looked a solid 6 footer in Training Day, and he had nearly 2 inches over Ethan Hawke. Hugh 191cm says on 23/Jun/09
I didn't see over 6ft in training day. I did see 6ft1ish in malcom x. Clay says on 21/Jun/09
Hugh, he looked a half inch shorter than Rob Pattinson who is listed at 6'1 but is about 6 foot and a half barefoot. They had on similar footwear. He absolutely cannot be more than 6 flat. Hugh 190cm says on 19/Jun/09
184cm solid now or maybe even 6ft0.75. Has lost no height Hugh 190cm says on 7/Jun/09
6ft1 in the 80's surely. Anonymous says on 4/Jun/09
Denzel looks pretty darn tall in 'Man on Fire'. Wouldn't put 6'1" past him, definitely not anything less than 6'. This height is pretty accurate. Trace says on 1/Jun/09
Denzel looked more than 1cm shorter than Robert Pattinson at the MTV movie awards.
For the first time I think he needs a downgrade.(He was also shorter than Cam Gigandet who is 6ft.) Anonymous says on 30/May/09
In the movie Dejavu he described himself as 6'3 in the movie his character that is weird stuff unknown says on 26/May/09
reading the post and looking at pics...James and Lenad, I'm thinking Denzel peak height was 6 feet 1 inches and he's now 6ft.05 now is very possible! Doesn't seem like the type to be dishonest and never looks short, even in the bone collector with 6 feet 2 inches John Goodman...was not dwarfed like some would think! Lenad says on 26/May/09
Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington are probably the same height really Hugh 190cm says on 23/May/09
Reeves was closer to camera. Reeves is taller but only by 2cm. Ace says on 21/May/09
Hugh 190 cm, the difference between washington and reeves looks closer to a full inch than half an inch. Ace says on 21/May/09
Nah, he looks a flat 6`0 at best with beckham rob89 says on 21/May/09
He barely looks 1-2 cm taller than Beckham in that pic. No way is that a 2 inch inch difference, sorry but that's ridiculous. Don't let Denzel's cap fool you. Leo says on 17/May/09
Looks this height with 5ft 11 Bechham, Click Here Hugh 190cm says on 17/May/09
If you look closely you'll see that Connery has a slight edge over Jim Carrey. I think Keanu Reeves is taller than Washington by 0.5 an inch. Reeves is 185cm-186cm and Washington is 184cm. jake says on 7/May/09
denzel is not 6'1". denzel is clearly shorter than legit 6'1" keanu. Click Here Hugh 190cm says on 10/Apr/09
A legitimate 6fter no doubt. Hugh 190cm says on 8/Apr/09
6ft0.5 legit looks bang on. Possibly 6ft1 flat when he was younger. Daii says on 8/Apr/09
I think Denzel is 6'1 in that picture with Ali. Ali is 6'3 (?) and Denzel is leaning upwards slightly. 2-3 inch difference which would put Denzel inbetween 183 and 185 cms. 184 looks bang on. Plus in all his movies I have always considered him a 6 footer Hugh 190cm says on 31/Mar/09
Well 182cm is very disrespectful. The man is a legitimate 6ft+. TELLEM says on 27/Mar/09

sodapop I never ever said Denzel Washington lost 3 inches or 2. Frankly speaking I agree with your point that no one shinks 3 inches unless they're over 80 with bad osteoperosis. Deinzel Washington has probably lost no height. My money is on 185cm peak and 184cm now. sodapop says on 26/Mar/09
to all you guys who think you shrink 2 or 3 inches when you get older, you are very ignorant. Noone shrinks that much unless their over 80 with bad osteoperosis. Cant believe this guy hugh thinking Denzel shrunk 3 inches, hahahahahahahaha Hugh 190cm says on 25/Mar/09
5ft11 is ridiculous. 6ft1 peak is very possible. Nowadays Denzel might not quite reach that height. 6ft0.5 now is perfect. ali says on 10/Mar/09
A typical 180 cm. 5'11 is spot on. 6'1
is simply funny. \_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 6/Mar/09
Denzel is 184cm minimum. SuperAnonymous says on 6/Mar/09
RisingForce: Liev is not even standing straight. Look at his left knee. Do you see spine twisted in one direction? He is leaning towards Meryll. Did you ignore that fact too??
If he stood in a military pose like Washington, he would dwarf him even more. Denzel is no more than 5'11" at the most. Consistent with the "Hurricane" movie where 6'3" Liev Schrieber dwarfed him. RisingForce says on 2/Mar/09
Denzel closer to the camera SuperAnonymous? Is that a joke? It's obvious that Schrieber is closer to the camera. I guess you also believe that Liev Schrieber's head is as abnormally big as it appears in that shot too. Lenad says on 28/Feb/09
5ft11 at the very tallest Superanonymous? God your almost as bad as Viper! SuperAnonymous says on 27/Feb/09
Like I said before, he was DWARFED by 6'3" Liev Schrieber in "Hurricane" movie by 4 inches or more.
Denzel is 5'11" at the very tallest possible. No way is he anything more than that.
Here is a picture of Denzel with Liev head-to-toe shots. They both have similar footwear and Denzel is closer to the camera. Still Liev simply dwarfs him by more 4 inches or more:

He looks 6ft0.5 just give it to him mate. Lenad says on 26/Feb/09
He looks 6ft0.5 just give it him mate. SuperAnonymous says on 23/Feb/09
Watch "Hurrican" movie. Watch him next to Liev Schrieber (6'3") tops and he was dwarfed by Liev by 4 inches easily. He was simply dwarfed by Liev. watch it yourself and be the judge.
Denzel is not more than 5'11" tops. He was substantially shorter than 6'2" Ben Affleck. No way he is even 6'. 5'11" maximum. RisingForce says on 23/Feb/09
Denzel is 6'1". Look at him next to David Beckham. His posture and stocky build can make him look shorter. JD says on 17/Feb/09
never once seen the man look under 6 washethatall says on 17/Feb/09
In Remember the Titans he was nearly the same height as the kid who played Ronnie Bass, Kip Pardue, who is 6'2 Leung says on 16/Feb/09
The real Rubin Carter was only 58 therefore they probably tried to make Denzel look shorter in the movie.
Watch any other Denzel movie and he is always 6 to 61. SuperAnonymous says on 15/Feb/09
He looked pretty short barefoot in the cell scene in "Hurricane" when he was asked to strip down.
Furthermore, he was dwarfed by 4 inches while standing face-to-face with 6'3" Liev Schreiber. He is 5'11" maximum. \\\\\\\\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 13/Feb/09
186cm isn't impossible either James. Anything under 6ft is ridiculous though. yoyo says on 12/Feb/09
hes no way 6ft1. def less than 184cm. Hugh says on 11/Feb/09
He may even be 185cm on a good day. Hugh says on 10/Feb/09
6ft2 seems too high indeed. He might be close enough to 6ft2 in the morning like 186cm. Hugh says on 8/Feb/09
185cm peak I can buy. anonymous says on 21/Jan/09
185cm. Harry says on 19/Jan/09
The hat might be an uplifter, but still he looks a little taller than beckham so i'd go for 6ft1. Hugh says on 17/Jan/09
Clearly 6ft1 next to Beckham. But James has a point. The hat could be a factor. Lenad says on 17/Jan/09
He may very well measure at 6ft1 on the dot in the morning. Still think Denzel is at least 6ft0. But 6ft2 looks a bit exaggerated for this guy! Harry says on 16/Jan/09

Legit 6' 1". He looked it big on American Gangster. Alex24 says on 13/Jan/09
I say him few times and he is 5'11 = 180-181 cm max.184cm is funny. bam says on 12/Jan/09
he looked 6'1 in gangster, but upon closer examination he appeared similar in height to josh brolin. But then again, you can use the logic that brolin appeared tall, not denzel appearing short. Hugh says on 11/Jan/09
I think he looked like he could be 6ft1 in American Gangster next to Russel Crowe. Lenad says on 10/Jan/09
Not less than 6ft0. He defintly looks above average. Jesus Christ no wonder he claims six-one as his height. Hugh says on 9/Jan/09
James how tall do you think Denzel is? Hugh says on 7/Jan/09
But really he stands a bit over 6ft tall barefoot. 6ft0.5. Hugh says on 4/Jan/09
Dmeyer and James I have to disagree with both your claims. I think Denzel looked almost Keanu's height. So 184-185cm. Keanu Reeves is possibly 186cm. dmeyer says on 4/Jan/09
he looks 182 near keanu plus keanu is rumured to be 186 cm i dont think denzel is anything under 6 ft Arikado says on 23/Dec/08
can be 184 cm next to keanu reeves. Hugh says on 21/Dec/08

Either Bruce Willis was in lifts or he is well over 6ft! Midget says on 8/Dec/08

Denzel washington is tall. 185cm seems right. Hugh says on 10/Nov/08
Denzel looks noticeably taller Uma Thurman in pictures. By like an inch or more. anonymous says on 8/Nov/08

Ray Allen was measured at 6'3.5". Paul Pierce was measured at 6'6".
That was a fake measurement, The Olympics put out fake measurements for every player. They just knocked 3 or 4 cm off of every players NBA listed height. They had Garnett at 6'9.75" even though he measured 6'11" in 1995 and Vince Carter at 6'4.75" even though he measured 6'5.5" in 1998. There's also no way that Allen is 2.5" shorter than Pierce.
Ray Allen with 6'7" listed Rip Hamilton
Click Here
I've heard 6-5 and 6-6 for Rip as well as 6-4.75. Either way he's around 6-5 and Allen isn't any shorter. Allen's actual measurement I've heard was 6-5.
Click Here
The quote is Allen was measured at 6'5" at the Chicago pre-draft camp last week and he's
a solid 205 lbs, the perfect size for a 2-guard in the NBA. anonymous says on 23/Oct/08
Ethan hawke doesnt look that tall or uma thurman is a giant. Denzel's 6 foot 1. anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
Watch the movie again. He's considerably taller than ethan hawke. Ethan hawke was short compared to ex wife uma thurman who is 6 foot. She is tall. Ethan hawke is not that tall. 5 foot 10 max. anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
I watched american gangster and he was taller than josh brolin by 2inches. In the late show with david letterman he was an inch shorter. In the movie training day, he was a good 5 inches taller than co star ethan hawke, who is about 173cm. I would say denzel washington is 185 no taller or shorter. He doesn't look that tall but he is. Lenad says on 18/Oct/08
looks at least a hair over 6'0. Its interesting how Denzel has been seen at the illusion of 5'10 though. Derek says on 17/Oct/08
Ray Allen was measured at 6'3.5". Paul Pierce was measured at 6'6". Shaq says on 17/Oct/08
Well whatever he is, he's as tall as Rip Hamilton who is listed 6-7! I've heard 6-5 for Rip. Shaq says on 16/Oct/08
Allen is 6'5" WITHOUT shoes, which explains the 4-5 inch difference. Anonymous says on 16/Oct/08
he got game ray allen is 6'5 with shoes... denzel was easily 4-5 inches shorter...with shoes...without thats a whole other concepts... Hugh says on 14/Oct/08
5ft10.5 does sound ridiculous. A little over 6ft sounds bang on. Ange says on 13/Oct/08
Okay, I change my answer to a hair under six foot. Still, I just recall him not being very tall. Also, I should mention he was seated at one of the KIDDIE tables, which is why I thought he wasn't very big. I'm only 5'1 and a buck and quarter and I can't sit at one of those tables. I guess maybe he probably was 5'11 or a legit six foot, but certainly didn't come across that way.
I know, 5'10 was really silly. Sorry! Mister Lennon says on 11/Oct/08
I think that he is 6 and a half at max. Never more. Same with Val Kilmer, althought they can look both 5'11 or 6'1 based in their posture or camera angles. But both look the same. bam says on 11/Oct/08
james, he did not claim a hair under 6ft in trials and tribulations. I borrowed the book, and looked through it to no avail. Hugh says on 11/Oct/08
Now this is an accurate height! fair play Rob. Hugh says on 11/Oct/08
He was slightly taller than Christopher Walken. RisingForce says on 10/Oct/08
Looks 6 foot, maybe a bit over here. He could be as tall as 6'1" though. TJ says on 10/Oct/08
It's a good point James. In truth, it is very difficult to tell exactly how tall someone is, even when they are a similar height to you, unless you are stood side by side with a mirror in front of you. If someone is one inch taller than you, you aren't necessarily going to realise it's a full inch, because when judging someone's height, we don't have a full appreciation of where the top of our own head is. We also assume that if eye level is the same (tho that's also difficult to judge with perfect accuracy), we must be the same height, when of course not everyone has an identical gap between eyes and top of head. As an example, I have a friend who is a clear inch shorter than me - perhaps 1.5 inches - but for years he has assumed we are the same height. It makes me laugh when someone of 5'11 says categorically that someone was exactly 1/2 an inch taller. It's just not possible to be that authoritative. dmeyer says on 10/Oct/08
6 ft 0.25 in new denzel height TELLEM says on 9/Oct/08
James says on 9/Oct/08
Frank2 also its not like u can easily tell the difference between 6ft and 5ft11 anyway is it?
frank2 is 5'11 Hugh says on 9/Oct/08
Hmmmm 2 inches. That is quite noticeable. Frank2 says on 9/Oct/08
Then Val wasn't standing with his best posture when I met him. And yes, I've been surprise when guys stood up straight. Problem here is Val looked like he was standing up straight. McQueen used to slump down a lot. Frank2 says on 8/Oct/08
In Crimson Tide there are a couple of shots where it's easy to see both men are standing with no boxes and Denzel doesn't wear lifts. He's not that much shorter than Hackman. maybe an inch difference at most.
As for Kilmer, a good friend of mine is an extra and he's worked on a couple of films with Kilmer. He agrees with me that Kilmer is about 5'11". My friend is about 6'1" and he said he could see Kilmer was about two inches shorter than him. Leung says on 7/Oct/08
yes Val Kilmer and Denzel Washington have not lost height, if either of these two men look shorter than their younger days its simply because they were both slimmer earlier in their careers. Its hilarious that people are talking about shrinkage for these guys. Hugh says on 7/Oct/08
I was suprised that they would pick Denzel to play Malcom X because the real Malcom X was apparently 6ft4. Hugh says on 7/Oct/08
Val Kilmer has lost no height so far. He's only 47-48 years old. But I can buy 184cm for him. Hugh says on 7/Oct/08
Anything under 6ft is impossible for both Denzel and Val. They are reasonably tall guys. Val at times can look shorter due to his posture. I doubt he's lost as he hasn't reached 50 yet. Denzel doesn't seem to have lost height either despite his age. He he's lost height it's 1cm at the very most. Frank2 says on 6/Oct/08
Watch CRIMSON TIDE. In it, Denzel and Gene Hackman are just about the same height and Hackman is minimum 6'1". And Denzel did not wear lifts in that film.
Val Kilmer is 5'11". I know since I've stood right beside him and he was my height. So in DE JA VU, either he was on a box, or wore lifts because Denzel is minimum 2 inches taller in real life.
Now, here's one for you. Dylan McDermott who's 6' looked a couple of inches taller than Val in several publicity shots for the film, WONDERLAND. I worked at Fox when Dylan was starring in MIRACLE ON 34th STREET and later in two TV series and he is definitely 6'. So perhaps Val is really 5'10" and sometimes wears lifts and when I stood next to him he was wearing them. He's really fat these days. Looks like a pint-sized Orson Welles.
Watch TOMBSTONE. 5'9" Kurt Russell wears cowboy boots with lifts and he and Killmer are the same height. For some unknown reason, 5'11" Bill Paxton looks slightly taller than Kilmer. He's at least two inches taller than Russell. And 6'2" Sam Elliot is taller than all of the male cast. Hugh says on 5/Oct/08
I'm beginning to have doubts about Ross's height. Hugh says on 2/Oct/08
Ironically in De Ja Vu they described Denzel's character as 6ft3 lol!
Rob should give Denzel that extra half inch. Hugh says on 1/Oct/08
Val is known for his crazy hairstyle. That was probably what made Denzel appear shorter. Denzel can look up to 6ft2 at times though. Frank2 says on 29/Sep/08
In the movie DEJA VU, Denzel's character is described as being 6'3". He's not. Movies are movies. Perhaps Denzel was misquoted. Hugh says on 29/Sep/08
I think Denzel is over 6ft but only by about half an inch. These days. Frank2 says on 29/Sep/08
See people! I know what I'm talking about. Denzel is over six feet. Anonymous says on 28/Sep/08
I met him. He is 6.1 at least. Probably about 180lbs. When I shook his hand, I thought I was going to break it. I'm 5.11 and 225lbs. (I lift alot). Anonymous says on 28/Sep/08
I met Denzel in person. He is at least 6.0 -6.1 about 180 lbs. When I shook his hand, I thought I was going to break it. I'm 5.11 and 225. Hugh says on 26/Sep/08
But James when he was filming the Hurricane he claimed 6ft1. Donald Sutherland looks more 6ft2-3 nowadays. Leung says on 26/Sep/08
I doubt Denzel Washington has shrunk, he still looks the same height he did 15 years ago. Hes still in his early 50s and in relatively good shape. In my opinion he might not lose any height for another 10 years or so. Therefore his current height is still his peak height, which I believe is somewhere between 6-61 Hugh says on 25/Sep/08
Be quiet Viper. Oh and what the hell is a parady poster? Hugh says on 24/Sep/08
Rob it would be a good idea. an upgrade and a peak height. 6ft0.25 now and 6ft0.75 peak. Well, it's your decision. Hugh says on 22/Sep/08
How about 6ft0.25 now and 6ft0.75 at his peak. Hugh says on 13/Sep/08
Knowing Viper he's probably going to say Denzel is 5ft10. LOL! Hugh says on 11/Sep/08
Denzel appears to be quite broad on screen. A good example of a 6ft1, 200lbs man is Kelsey Grammer (Fraiser, Back to You etc.) He is by no means overweight. He is heavily built and overall quite a big guy. Now Denzel isn't exactly ripped but he does look pretty buff at times. TELLEM says on 10/Sep/08
denzel is listed 6'0? but dr. dre 6'1? wasn't he taller than dre in training day? Hugh says on 10/Sep/08
185-186cm peak. Hugh says on 10/Sep/08
5ft10 is ridiculous. 186cm in a weird way sounds feasible. Ange says on 9/Sep/08
This one seems ridiculous to me. I saw him at the Westside Pavillon Barnes & Noble circa '98 and he was sitting at one of the the KIDS' tables in the children's section and there's no way I could believe anything approaching 6'0. He was TINY. Well proportioned and very handsome, but the most I'd give him was 5'10. And that's being generous. Hugh says on 8/Sep/08
So James you're saying Denzel was above 6ft1 at his peak? DocJ says on 8/Sep/08
I believe this man is 6ft1, and definitely not below 6'1/2. The fact is that if you havent measured a person yourself there is no way of knowing someones true height. You can look at all the pictures you want and they will never tell the exact height unless it's a mug shot. There are far too many factors that make it hard to judge height by just looking at someone. Another reason is the fact that everyone sees things differently. Thats why we have those height scales in stores so if there is a robbery the cashier or witnesses will be better able to judge height when the robber is leaving out the door. Before that, police use to have a hard time with height in making out a description of the suspect because witnesses would tell them contradicting heights of suspects. One person would say 6ft, while another would say 5ft6, even though they saw the same person. Another thing is that it seems alot of people who comment here seem to want to be taller than celebs, so they accept evidence when a picture seems to say that a celeb is shorter, but reject evidence when it suggests a celeb is taller or the height he/she claims. Im sure that there are celebs who lie about their height, but im sure their are alot who don't. These people are very successful people and making millions, I honestly doubt they really feel the need to lie about being 6ft1, when in fact they are really 6.05ft. A persons height fluctuates throughout the day, being tallest when they wake from bed, and gradually shrinking throughout the day anywhere from half an inch to a full inch. So depending on wat time of the day a picture was taken of a celeb or was seen by someone here, the fact is if they been up all day and night promoting their movies and attending parties they may be slightly shorter since the discs in spinal cord compress more the longer you are standing up. It's also hard to believe some of the people who post here claiming they saw the celeb or their friend saw the celeb in question, in this case denzel, and they are sure that he is shorter. Im sure that there some people here who are delusional about their own height, after all, some seemed to be so obsessed whether a celeb is a quarter of an inch smaller or taller, i wouldn't be surprised that subconciously you "see" the celeb being shorter than you. So the fact someone here saw denzel at 5'10 because they were an inch taller than him doesn't mean anything to me since the witness maybe just as delusional about their own height as they claim the celebs are. I also don't belive this whole "denzel being 6ft1 in his prime but he shrunk an inch and is 6 now." Males begin to lose their height slowly at 50ish, and if your relatively healthy and in good shape, like denzel seems to be, alot of men would only lose a very small amount or if any at all in their height. So if denzel has shruk from his prime, the most i can see it being is 1/4inch, if even that. Factors such as clothing, shoes, lighting, posture, time of day or how long they been up for, body types, face length, and individual perceptions all create different opinions on a personsheight. So if denzel says he 6ft1, i believe him, especially since he seems to be a very confident man and extremely content. I think this site is good for getting a general idea of a celebs height, but I would bet my life on it that it is no way accurate, especially when your dealin with centimetres here and and bias in height of other people here.

Don't go by that movie. Did you see them side by side in a wide shot? Nope. If Val Kilmer is 6'2" then I must be 6'2". Frank2 says on 6/Sep/08
Leonardo DiCaprio is 5'11". He and I were eye-to-eye the same height the last time I saw him in person. He looked to be wearing shoes with no lifts. I've seen him several times and he's never looked shorter than 5'11". One time he appeared maybe 5'11-1/2", but he could have been wearing shoes that had heels higher than mine. I tend to wear shoes with the lowest possible heals since I have a bad lower back. Cowboy boots send me right to the chiropractor. Frank2 says on 5/Sep/08
John Lithgow is at least 6'4". He might even be 6'5". Denzel is probably 6'1" so Lithgow should appear to be three to four inches taller. When I saw Lithgow in person, I had to look up.....way up!
By the way, here's Denzel with Tom Hanks:

Tom is slightly taller than me or about 5'11-1/2".
Denzel with Mohammed Ali:
Click Here dmeyer says on 3/Sep/08
intersting franks thinks 6 ft 1 in for denzel i do think 6 ft 0.5 in for him Hugh says on 3/Sep/08
I think Hackman was 6ft2.5 at his peak and lost half an inch. Hugh says on 1/Sep/08
Hackman is STILL 6ft2. Hugh says on 28/Aug/08
In Frank2's defence he did look the same height as Gene Hackman. Also in Glory he looked eye level with Kevin Kline. I think he's 6ft0.5. Frank2 says on 26/Aug/08
Liev Schriber is at least 6'3", possibly even 6'4". He's a very tall guy. davo says on 25/Aug/08
"well over 6'" ???? time for the optometrist! he's 6' max Frank2 says on 22/Aug/08
Like I said, Denzel is well-over over 6'. Absolutely no question in my mind about it. But recently, he's put on quite a bit of weight which could make him look stockier, hence shorter. runt says on 21/Aug/08
Shugabear says on 2/Aug/08
"Are you kidding? I met him in person at Howard University. I would be surprised if he's 5'10". "
Which means you wouldn't be surprised if he's 5-9 or 5-8.5. What was the drink that you had in your hand when you met him? Martinis can be dangerous after 4 jeger bombs...^_^ Anonymous says on 19/Aug/08
he can look 1.88 but i think he is close to 1.85 definetely not lower than 1.83 Frank2 says on 15/Aug/08
This is pretty silly. Denzel is at least 6'1", might even be a legit 6'2" and I mean barefoot, not with shoes. I've seen him in person and he's always looked to be at least two inches taller than me and I'm 5'11".
Here he is with Michael Moriarty who's at least 6'3", probably 6'4".
Click Here Daii says on 7/Aug/08
Shugabear: I havent met him so I obviosly wouldnt know, but from his films he looks a strong 6 foot (183cms). Just my opinion, but i doubt he is lower than 5'11 no way. Abbeh says on 4/Aug/08
damn I knew they were wrong in Deeja Vu lol Shugabear says on 2/Aug/08
Are you kidding? I met him in person at Howard University. I would be surprised if he's 5'10". I'm 6'2" and I was definitly looking down. Daii says on 2/Aug/08
Yeah, after watching American Gangster I would say he is close to 6'1, probably 6'0 with no shoes. 6'0.5 would probably be accurate (6 and a half foot) bdown says on 1/Aug/08
A former nfl QB hosts a local sports talk show and met Denzel because his son is trying out for the Texans as a RB.The host said Denzel was clearly under 6ft. Maybe even closer to 5'10. Lenad says on 28/Jun/08
Oh yeah. Why are they being removed is it creating some problems or something? 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. 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. 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 510 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. 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! 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 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 |
