Dolph Lundgren Height
Dolph Lundgren height: 6 ft 4.25 in (194 cm)

Swedish Actor, famous for Rocky 4 and Red Scorpion. In impact magazine he revealed that height caused him a problem initially: "I was turned down at my first audition for Rocky 4 for being too tall, I was 6ft 5in and you were supposed to be 6ft 3in maximum. I didn't know what the casting call was for and I just showed up, they asked me how tall I was, I said 6ft 5in and they said "Next!".

In the Mid 80's he stated 'I'm about 195cm'.

More recently on tv4 website, it said: "Du �r 198 cm l�ng." - "Nej, 193 tror jag att det ska vara", basically asking if he's 198 and Dolph saying no, 193cm.

So he's given varying heights...I think the centimetre one...Photo below by Alan Light.

All I know is, I was in shock after watching the clip of him next to Conan.

I'll second that!

RisingForce says on 18/Nov/09
At some points in the clip Dolph was really slouching. I don't think there's a 2" difference between the 2, but I'm surprised at how "short" he looked. 6-3ish wouldn't surprise me for Lundgren these days. That would also make a little more sense out of that Rocky Balboa premiere pic with Sly posted below.
J.J. says on 16/Nov/09
I think he is actually 6'2.75" rock solid meaning he has lost 1.5" in height. Looking at Conan's video.
Sam says on 16/Nov/09
Well if Conan is 6'4 than Dolph is like 6'2.75 if he is lucky.
Anonymous says on 13/Nov/09
I think he was easily 6'5" in this peak but he's way under that now. It's a sad fact that guys this height are at high risk of serious back problems after age 40, and especially if they engage in physical activity that involves injuries.

Look at this somewhat recent pic with Sly.

Click Here

Even with massive lifts on Sly, you can see that Dolph is no more than 6'2" today- maybe even 6'1"! Dolph looks like crap these days too - way older than his years, even though he isn't overweight or anything. Sly at ~5'9" barefoot hasn't lost any height and looks fabulous for his age- heck for any age.

Dolph stated he was 6'5.5" on the Tonight Show in the mid 80's. If he truly was that height, he's lost a tremendous amount of height. Even if he was only 6'4" at his peak, he's still lost height and he's only a few years younger than Conan.

Looks like the man has had some serious back surgery, the likes of Hogan, Roddy Piper and Superstar Billy Graham have had.

OR, maybe he never WAS the height he CLAIMED to be.

Shaun says on 7/Nov/09
Scary, this guy was definately in the 6'5" range peak. Compared to Conan he looks to have lost a lot of height (as to be expected of bodybuilders) and looked nearer 6'3" to me. This is weird as Jeff Goldblum had an inch on Conan and I always thought Dolph would be taller than Goldblum by about half an inch.
Rat says on 7/Nov/09
Could it be that since Dolph was standing under the cage, he was a little lower than Conan?

Rat says on 7/Nov/09
On a recent Tonight Show appearance, Conan looked taller. If he's 6'4, then Dolph is probably 6'3.
JuhaP says on 5/Nov/09
Yeah, I saw the conan episode too and Conan looked a good inch taller. Didn't see their shoes, but I'd say Conan is a strong 6'4" and Dolph is 6'3".
derek d says on 5/Nov/09
More like almost 2 inches. You can hear him tell Conan briefly before he is cut off, "You're tall man!".
ScottGun says on 4/Nov/09
Just saw Dolph Lundgren on the Tonight Show. The 6'4" Conan was over an inch taller.

They filmed rocky 4 here in vancouver, I was a extra, they filmed it at the colisum where old vancouver canucks played, when I saw dolph he looked 6'4 my friend is 6'3, he had a inch or little more on my friend so I would give 6'4'5, now 6'3

You're the same guy who claims to bench like 700 pounds and have 28" arms right? YEAH, I really believe you... I love guys who make up stories on here to impress naive people who will buy what you're trying to sell them.
Mr Ice says on 22/Oct/09
Something that some of u guys have to understand is that, when u are at the height of Dolph, the want-to-seem-taller-than-they-are is the other way around, Dolph is not so keen on hearing his big size, so hes saying lower figures, like 6`4, wich hes defintely over. In Rocky IV he was at least 196 cm tall (6`5,5) Nowadays his is older so maybe hes lost an inch, I give him atleast 194 cm (6`4,5)
thekiddd says on 16/Oct/09
Yeah 6'6" is a joke. He could pass for 6'4" or 6'5". I think almost 6'5" like 6'4 1/2".
Rugal Bernstein says on 17/Sep/09
Nonsense! On his myspace site, he added his size as 6'5" and on an interview he claimed 6'5.5" and also 195cm on several interviews. He wouldn't claim that height as a joke, maybe he stands a legit 6'6" with his shoes and he claimed that height.
Will says on 9/Sep/09
Mr. Dolph Lundgren is 6 feet 6 inches tall.
Ace says on 5/Sep/09
On his website he claims to be 198 cm (which he mistranslated next to it as saying "198 cm/6`5")

Yaspaa says on 27/Aug/09
Tom Selleck 6'2....you nugget.
Martin says on 12/Aug/09
I actually saw him and another tall actor (Tom Selleck)up close at an event in NYC about 10 years ago. I am between 6'4.5" and 6'5" (no upward exaggeration). I estimated Tom Selleck to be no more than 6'2" and Dolph Lundgren to be no more than 6'3". There is no way that he was ever 6'5".
J.J. says on 10/Aug/09
very very accurate. I'm impressed a honest 5.75". this is when you tower over someone. I consider 5.5" & over as towering over someone. & from 4" as being much taller. then from 2" as being taller.
Daii says on 7/Aug/09
Well the guy is an animal, hes at least 6'4 easy
yoyo says on 7/Aug/09
Big guy Dolph can look from 6ft3.5 to 6ft5 , i do believe in reality he was 6ft4.5 in day time. 6ft4 reach at night.
Bohm says on 6/Aug/09
Dolph is incredibly well proportionned for his size. Probably 195 cm peak. What do you guys tihnk hsi wingspan is?
Anonymous says on 2/Aug/09
for someone who was put as 6 ft 5 1/2 doesent make sense why hes 6 ft 4 1/4
supes78 says on 2/Aug/09
Great clip from the Tonight Show showing an absolutely humongous Dolph looking an easy 6'5". Comparing him to Stallone is weak because Stallone frequently wears lifts. I think his peak height should be bumped up to 6'5".
Tom says on 28/Jul/09
Dolph said on live national swedish radio that he became the same size as his father which was 195 cm. Nowadays he is down at 193 cm which he admitted in a swedish tv-show. He might be lying but I think his claims are pretty reasonable.
Danimal says on 20/Jul/09
Where did Big King go? Is he banned? If so, why?
TW says on 18/Jul/09
Click Here

Here you can see that Dolph is only about 190-192cm compared to Sly who is 176-178. Only about 10-12 cm (4-5") of difference.
Dolph used to lie or wrongly put his truly height up.
He said that he is 6'5 1/2"(197), 6'5"(196), 195, 6'4"(193),6'3"(191), and in Rocky 4 and other action films he looked to be 197 max, but it was an illusion! However in my opinion he was always closer to 190cm, never to 198cm(6'6"). 193cm(6'4") was absolutely max for him!
GF says on 15/Jul/09
6 ft 5 in easy!!
Mark D. says on 13/Jul/09
I still believe he was 6'5.5" at peak and is 6.4.5" now. Loosing an inch is reasonable, and since he said 195cm once he may have misspoke saying 193, ie. getting the 3 and 5 mixed up. The video below shows him at least two inches or more taller than the late 6'3" Gene Siskel, the movie reviewer (yeah, Gene was that tall).
Original says on 9/Jul/09
Dolph Lundgren is taller than rony192cm by 2" in a peak.
rony192cm says on 6/Jul/09
Big King says on 29/Jun/09
I mean, Lundgren absolutely dwarfed Sly in Rocky IV so I think that his claimed 6'5.5" could be his prime height. Nowadays he seems about 6'4.5" tall.

You're on this site 24/7 for quite some time now and you still come up with comments like this. You really are a retard. A BIG-FAT one
Ali says on 29/Jun/09
He is slightly taller than 6'4. He himself says
193cm. So that is what he is.

With the big hair he had, he might have
looked 6'5.5
Doug says on 27/Jun/09
That's what I said Khan. Dolph was easily 2 inches taller than Madely and is still pretty close to 6'5".
Ejel Khan says on 25/Jun/09
Dolph appared on Watch with Richard & Judy. He was clearly 2" taller than legit 6'2.5" Richard. He's still 6'4.5", having lost an inch.

How can he be only 6,4.5? He looked 6,7 or even 6,8 in some scenes in Rocky 4?
Odin says on 17/Jun/09
He said he was 193 cm on TV
Doug says on 13/Jun/09
The way Lundgren looks on the Joan Rivers show looks like a legit barefoot 6'5" + shoes and hair gives a 6'6" appearance.
Doug says on 13/Jun/09
Wow Lundgren on the Joan Rivers show in what, 1986?. The man clearly looked nearer 6'6" than 6'4" as a younger man anyway. He looks ENORMOUS. I've never seen him claim more than 6'5".
dash says on 9/Jun/09
he is 6'6 king get a life he has stated it he was on late night with conan obrien and conan is 6'4 and dolph was twice his size

Why is that bull****? Yeah Möller stated his height as 197 cm. Once.
So what? I also know a guy who is close to 6ft5 but claimes 6ft3.
Ralf got often described as 6ft7, once even as 6ft8.
Cobra says on 3/Jun/09
@ BK: Möller could have been 6ft7. more than 10 years later (Klitschko pics) he may have lost an inch.
Sid says on 2/Jun/09

This is the best Dolph quote find in recent months, from an old interview IM ABOUT SIX FIVE AND A HALF.

So he has claimed 6'5".5, I say it is feasible.
John says on 25/May/09
You hear all sorts of things about height. I have heard of Ronald Reagan having been anything from 5'11" to 6'2". You do shrink after 50 as ligaments compress. Lundgren is now over 50 so he has probably shrunk from when he was a bouncer at a Sydney nightclub in the 1970s while he was studying at Sydney University (most people just looked at him and walked away.) He looked much taller than Stallone, but Sly is only 5'9" at the most.
yoyo says on 24/May/09
i believe his once 6ft5. now 6ft4 or 6ft4.5
Cobra says on 9/May/09
I still would go for 6ft7 peak height for Möller. He also got described as that in his early bodybuilding days. I do believe the 6ft5 for Dolph, maybe he has lost half an inch.
ed2 says on 7/May/09
Here he is with Bas Rutten (6ft1?) and Kimbo (6ft2?). Unfortunately all three slouch.

Riley says on 5/May/09
I've met Dolph before. Actually my pic is one of the ones on here. I recently met Derek Mears aka Jason from the new Friday the 13th and he told me himself he is 6.5 and I also met Tyler Mane aka Michael Myers from Rob Zombie's Halloween and he looked taller than Derek. Here's a photo of both. Click Here

its a known fact they made mr.t and dolph look taller in those movies.
supes78 says on 4/May/09
No "special boots" in Rocky IV. This is the actual height difference between someone who is 6'5" and someone who is 5"9" tall;
Click Here
Alex says on 4/May/09 says on 4/May/09
In Rocky 4, he looked a 6,4 or 6,4.5 guy because Stallone was about 15 or 16 cm shorter than him and i also think that Stallone was not 5,9 or at least in the 80s because and that would make Dolph only 6,3 and in my opinion that is too short for him so Stallone had to be at least 5,10 or 5,10.5 in those years and if Dolph was 6,5 or 6,6 in Rocky 4 and Stallone was 15 or 16 cm shorter.So what? Was Stallone 5,11 or 6,0? I don,t think that he was also wearing lifts in the final fight in Rocky 4.
Joseph says on 4/May/09
Rusty:

Dolph Lundgren told his life story in Swedish radio last summer, and then said that his father was the same height as he is, or rather was, at his peak - 195 centimetres.
Doug says on 29/Apr/09
Hahaha I bet they were scrared ****less. I would have loved to have seen it if Dolph had been hiding and had ambushed them. They were probably little Spanish fellas, Dolph would have killed them.

A little off topic, but some stupid burglars accidentally picked Dolph's house to rob;

I would love to have seen their reactions when they discovered that Lundgren lived there.
Doug says on 27/Apr/09
Have a look at the Dean Cain page for how Alan looks next to a 6 foot guy. Difference is minimal. Now look at this. Every bit of 6'5" here, nowadays 194cm.
Daniel says on 25/Apr/09
This makes a lot of sense Big King
thekiddd says on 24/Apr/09
On The Back Of Rocky IV Jewel Case, it said he was a 6 foot 4 260 lb boxer. They could have shaved an inch off him but no way did they shave 2 inches off him.
Doug says on 24/Apr/09
Sorry Big King I guess the man was never as tall as you even in Rocky.
Doug says on 22/Apr/09
6'6" is very huge. He didn't look more than 6'6" Rocky. He looked an extremely solid man mountain at 6'6".
Rusty says on 22/Apr/09
Doug, how do you know that Dolph is as tall as his dad? How do you know his dad's height?
Rusty says on 22/Apr/09
I would say just short of 6'5" at peak and shorter now. He looked no more than 6'3" in The Russian Specialist.
Doug says on 18/Apr/09
Looks a strong 6'4" here I'd say around 195cm he was definately closer to 6'5" at peal. Imagine if they both turned around and stood straight and you were standing behind them, Dolph would be looking 6'5" in shoes anyway. Dolph is a good six inches taller I'd say if they stood straight. He looked 6'6" in Rocky for sure but in other films never really looked more than 6'5". Actually in some films even in the early 90s he looked more on the 6'4" than 6'5" even more so in his direct to video films of the 2000s. He's a huge guy though nobody would despite this unless your name of course is Ralph Moeller or Scott Schwartz or somebody.
Bigman says on 16/Apr/09
I'd say he was never quite 6'5". But taller than 6'4" and shorter than 6'5".
Daii says on 15/Apr/09
Hes definitely about 6'4 in this picture, if that guy is nearly 5'11. Probably 6'5 at his peak - hes now 51 so he's getting on a bit - 6'4.5 id go for (194 cms)
Krusaide says on 11/Apr/09
Believe it or not, Dolph is tall enough and in an industry where it might actually be to his benefit say he's SHORTER than what he is. Look at the opening paragraph for Rocky IV. He said he was 6'5" and they almost passed him over. I think the idea is for everyone to try and be as close to model height (6'1-6'3") as possible. I bet people that are genuinely 6'2" don't lie and say they're 6'4" unless they're athletes or in the WWF.
Doug says on 8/Apr/09
Peak height Lundgren was 195, exactly as tall as his father. Which is just shy of 6'5" I believe. With a 195cm father, one would find it difficult to see how Dolph could be anything other than very tall.
James S says on 7/Apr/09
I cant see why he would say 6ft 5 if he wasnt, I can see him as 6ft 5 in his prime, he must be 6ft 4 now.
Daniel says on 3/Apr/09
I see a strong 1.95cm in this picture. Considering Lundgren is in relaxed posture, he could be even a little taller than that
Doug says on 22/Mar/09

Doug says on 22/Mar/09
OK google image Dolph Lundgren 123marbella, Dolph is outside standing next to a woman. Dolph is wearing a good pair of boots next to a well she looks fairly tall actually maybe 5'8" and you'd think he would be nearer 6'6" in those boots. Doesn't look it, in fact he looks a similar height in that photo to me and I'm 6'2" barefoot and a little over 6'3" in a good pair of boots. I "know" the man is not under 6'4" but you can see how he sometimes can looker smaller than 6'5". Most of the time he looks huge every inch of 6'4" but those sort of pics are what I#m talking about.
Doug says on 22/Mar/09
I didn't say he was 6'2"-6'3" did I c'mon he is clearly 6'4.5" barefoot and in this picture was a solid 6'5" as it was in his prime. What I was saying is that I have seen pictures of Dolph looking shorter. If seen a picture of him in hiking boots at some lodge with a woman who looked pretty short and average looking and Dolph didn't seem to tower thats all. He looked tall but not 6'5" tall if you know what I mean. "I know" the man is still not a hair under 6'4" but "occasionally he can look a little lower than this in photos.
Anonymous says on 17/Mar/09
He is a solid 6'5.
Height Tracker says on 14/Mar/09
Definetely looks in the 6'4" to 6'5" range in that photo. Alan, can you tell us more about your encounter with Dolph and what your height estimate for him was? Thanks
RisingForce says on 2/Mar/09
I've never seen Dolph look 6'2"-6'3" in pictures. He's still atleast 6'4", he dwarfed 6'0"-6'1" Brigitte Nielsen(in heels) recently.
Doug says on 2/Mar/09
Yeah he was on Ricahrd and Judy and seemed to have 2.5 inches on 6.2.25 Richard Madely. Madely is usually taller than most their guests but DOlph was noticeably taller still. I think he is easily 6'5" in shoes judging by these latest appearances. So a 6'4-6'4.5 barefoot estimate is probably correct.
Doug says on 20/Feb/09
Yes I sometimes get a 6'2"-6'3" impression from him especially in recent pictures. However check out the fairly recent photo of Dolph and 6'3" Jon Voight at images.starpulse (dot) com. Dolph has an easy two inches on him. Even if Voight is now just 6'2" Dolph would still be in the 6'4-6'4.5" range in comparison.
Rusty says on 16/Feb/09
He looked about 6'5" at peak, but in the Russian specialist, he looked 6'3" at best.
italian boy says on 11/Feb/09
196cm he looks very tall also near brigitte nielsen(182cm)in rocky IV.
RisingForce says on 5/Feb/09
Dolph said that he was 195 cm(6-4.75) and that he shrunk to 193-194 cm(6-4, 6-4.5). Rob's listing is good for his current height, but at his peak he was likely a half inch taller. Not a big difference either way. He's always been in the 6-4 to 6-5 range.
anonymous says on 30/Jan/09
Dolph admitted and said on swedish tv show that he is 193cm (6'4). But he probably shrunk his peak was 196 cm (6'5) but still looks tal

Big King says on 22/Jan/09
A few days ago I watched Rocky 4 and there Dolph Lundgren looked huge!! Well, but I highly doubt if Lundgren was ever 6'6" or where these 6'6" listings come from. Lundgren looks more 6'5" or 6'5 1/2" and that's all. He's clear above 6'4" though.

So, you're saying he was NEVER 6'6" and then you say he could be 6'5.5". SO, all of this over .5"???????
mr average says on 21/Jan/09
Actually Carl Weathers IS 6'2", he had to hunch a bit for the Rocky 4 square-ups with Dolph to make the character of Drago seem more physically imposing. Watch the trainin scenes in RockyIII and you'll see how Weathers is actually much bigger than Stallone whn both in gym shoes, but again hunches a lot to make the Rocky character sem les diminutive. On that basis it would seem Dolph is about 6'4 - 6'5, why quibble over an inch??!!
Deano says on 15/Jan/09
you may know me as Deano, Dolph does look like hes lost an inch, not sure about two yet but it may be. now adays.
Anonymous says on 15/Jan/09
I would say in his early days, such as in rocky four he was gigantic also syvester must have been 5 ft 10 1/2 or something and was dwarfed by dolph.If he says 6 ft 5 I'd believe him.Hi friends you may also know me as deano on this very site.I talked about roger moores height mostly.
Martin says on 12/Jan/09
Anonymous: What you just wrote, was pretty much unreadible. Try to use points and comma, will ya? Beside from that, he himself has given the his peak height as 195 cm.
Anonymous says on 2/Jan/09
He is 6'5 close to 6'6 it came write from his mouth he is huge in height and weight he dwarfs van damme alot of his on screen actors have to wear lifts when doing scenes with him he was twice the size of stallone in the rocky 4 if you watch a recent movie of his i can't remember the name but it was a movie where he is hired by a gang to retrieve something from a tomb and at the start of the movie he is in a fight with a guy who was asian or something cant remeber but in the interveiw on the special features the director talks about how hard it was to find a actor his height they couldn't they had to hire a wrestler the countries world champion he was the biggiest wrestler they could find and he was like 6'3 or so and big Dolph dwarfed him he is huge
RisingForce says on 1/Jan/09
Rob, if Dolph said he was 195 cm and now he's 193-194 cm then why not keep this as the current height but give him a peak height? He's admitted to shrinking I believe.

He had 5" on 5-11.75 Brandon Lee in Showdown In Little Tokyo.
Martin says on 9/Dec/08
Click Here Picture of Dolph with his wife in pretty huge heels :)
Martin says on 9/Dec/08
I have seen Dolph at the central train station of Stockholm aswell. He was taller than my 189 cm friend by several centimetres. Looked 193-194 cm. Watch the commercial here: Click Here (Do I need a tinyurl for that when it's already small?). It's right on the first page. The poster is not there though.
Martin says on 9/Dec/08
Re RisingForce: He said it on the swedish radio show called "Sommar i P1"(Summer in P1). He mentioned his father who was 195 cm and that he became the same height as him. Then, on the tv-show "Robins" he said that he nowadays is 194-193 cm...he also have a pretty bad posture nowadays. On a commercial poster for a cloth company called MQ and Save the Children, he looks shorter than ever. He is standing beside his wife Anette Qviberg Lundgren. Donno her height though. Tried to find the poster, but didn't...I will continue looking. Maybe I post it later.

nowadays he might drop something in height. 193 at less. on a good day he might be 6ft4.75..
RisingForce says on 2/Dec/08
When did he say that Martin?
Martin says on 29/Nov/08
He said he WAS 195(6ft5) but nowadays he said that he is 193(6ft4). Robin looks tall aswell. He is probably 189-190 cm as he said himself.

He never once looked 198 cm to me. I can see him look 6'5" a lot of the time which is possible but I still think 6'4" maybe a bit more than that.
Linden anne says on 19/Nov/08
I jus hear the interwiews with this actors on swedisshradio today and he says he is 193cm tall and nomore.
thekiddd says on 13/Nov/08
I think 6'4", MAYBE 6'4 1/2".
Erica says on 29/Oct/08
I watched Robins too (and the summer radio show) and came here to post about. Dolph seems adamant about 193cm these days. It seems inconceivable to me how he could have been this height back in the 1980's but we'll just have to take his word for it. At least hes not up-sizing.
Thomas says on 22/Oct/08
Edit to last post: Just checked the "194... -193" clip with headphones to clearly hear what the Dolph had to say on this day about his height. Fact: Dolph said "193... 193" at 0:20 in this clip:

Click Here

He slurs with Americanized Stockholm suburb accent, making the first 193 sound almost like 194. Checked twice with headphones. He dosn't say 194, doesn't look 195. Says 193, and looks it.
Thomas says on 22/Oct/08
Swedish media update: in TV-show "Robins", the radio show "Sommar" was brought by the TV show host Robin Paulsson who made a passing remark about Dolphs' height of 195cm, to which Dolph responded "194... -193". Robin Paulsson claims to be 190cm. I can't verify that height but if anything I doubt he'd be one to particularly care for rounding up from anything less than a solid 189,9. Grab the clip while it's up, with Robin next to Dolph:

Click Here

Judge for oneself. Of course, Dolph could have had a heavy day at the gym but there are no 5 up on Robin in that clip. A few, yes, but I can't see a 195 stature for the Dolph there. 193-194? Sorry, I meant 194... -193.
thekiddd says on 22/Oct/08
Rob question. Do you think you will ever upgrade Lundgren to 6'4 1/2" or 6'4 3/4"? Or do you think just a small margin over 6'4" is it?

[Editor Rob: I think for the moment it's ok.]
Elf says on 20/Oct/08
All the evidence points to Dolph being 6'5. I've heard him on countless occasions state this. STated this in 1985 in Rocky IV auditions and clearly looked this height even taller, stated this on a Graham Norton show in about 2002 when Norton thought he was 6 ft 6 and "enormous" and Dolph corrected him and clearly stated 6 ft 5, and as people said below his father was the same height and he also said this on Swedish radio. I;m sure though in Joshua Tree the missing report on him showed 6'4. Some times he doesn't look quite 6'5 I must admit, particularly since the late 90s looks a bit smaller, come him to Stallone in some of the up to date pictures doesn't look 8 inches taller like he did in Rocky. Current height could be spot on given the amount of weight training her has done in his life.

To Esmond. By Dads only 170 and my mother 165. I'm 187 barefoot, (6 ft 1 1/2) although my grandad was 190 as were several of my uncles over 185 so there is a considerable variation in what is "genetically pre-destined". I've always been into rowing and swimming plus I didn't stop growing until I was 25.
esmond says on 20/Oct/08
im coming to 18 with a 170cm frame. dad's 168 mom's 160. i swim daily and it seems im reaching 171. any chance i'll hit 180?
Thomas says on 18/Oct/08
Re:
Martin says on 5/Sep/08
He told on the swedish radio show called "Sommar i P1", this summer, that he is 195 cm tall.

Word by word: "my father was 195cm tall, the same height I myself was to reach". That's 195 stated peak height; could of course be a shade under now.
RisingForce says on 11/Oct/08
I agree, 6'4.75". that fits the 195 cm claims, the ocassional 6'4" claims and the 6'5" claims.
supes78 says on 28/Sep/08
A recent pic of Dolph with 6 foot tall Brigitte Nielsen (in heels) looks every bit the 6'5" height he has more consistently stated;
Click Here
adam says on 23/Sep/08
Yep, at least 195cm. Lundgren was more than just 6-4 or 193cm peak. Look at his early films and pictures not his claims. If one is over 6-4, one doesn´t always claim any higher height than 6-4. Believe me, many people are completely fine with 6-4 and dont want to claim any more than that. If I were 6-5, I`d probably claim 6-4 as well!
RisingForce says on 21/Sep/08
thekiddd says on 3/Sep/08
Stallone could pass for 5'10". Not 5'11". That would put Lundgren at 6'3" which I don't think is true but could possibly pass for it.

Dolph at 6'3"? No, he's 6'4 3/4" tall.
adam says on 16/Sep/08
His peak was more than just a quarter of 6-4. He has said 6-5 too, which is closer to the truth. Look at his early films.
thekiddd says on 14/Sep/08
Lister can't be 6'5 1/2" if he is listed in his official site says 6'5". Lundgren might be 6'4 1/2" but I don't believe anything higher than that.
Martin says on 5/Sep/08
He told on the swedish radio show called "Sommar i P1", this summer, that he is 195 cm tall.
thekiddd says on 3/Sep/08
Stallone could pass for 5'10". Not 5'11". That would put Lundgren at 6'3" which I don't think is true but could possibly pass for it.
RisingForce says on 30/Aug/08
Sorry one of the Stallone and Lundgren pictures didn't work.
Click Here

I believe Sly to be 5'10.75" and Dolph is 6 inches taller so that puts him at 6'4.75" so his 195 cm sounds right.
thekiddd says on 30/Aug/08
He can appear like a 6'5" man but 6'6", no way Jose. He is possibly 6'4 1/2" but I think 6'4" solid is pretty much it since he looked about 7" taller than Stallone in Rocky IV
Ben says on 29/Aug/08
Daniel.. Ben stiller in tropic thunder is in better shape then lundgren now.... But back in the day there was no comparison (dont know if dolph was natural)
When i say it out loud though it does sound a little wrong.
Cobra says on 28/Aug/08
Dolph weighed 110 kg- 240 lbs for his role in Rocky IV. He said it himself, I think it`s true. Drago in the movie was advertised as 261 lbs.
Bobby says on 27/Aug/08
I realize this site concerns HEIGHT, however would anyone have the know on Dolph's WEIGHT at the time of rocky 4? I myself am the same height, around 6'4.5", and his look is my fitness goal. Any and all help in truly appreciated.
adam says on 27/Aug/08
Well this is again one of the very few things in this site that is a bit wrong -Lundgren wasn´t only a shade over 6-4 peak. Yes, he has said that now when he is older and feels that "6-4 is enough, Im taller but I dont need to claim any more than that!" The man was 6-5 peak. 6-6 is a little too much but certainly at least 195cm peak. 195-196 peak. 6-5. Yep!

This, Yaphet Kotto and Bill Duke. Those are the one`s that are obviously wrong. The 6-4 and 1/4 is a close estimate but he was a little more peak. But... Bill Duke was at least 6-5 peak, likely more. Same with Yaphet Kotto!

But all in all, Rob: fantastic site and a great job. 99% of the heights here are correct!

[Editor Rob: well the one I would change for peak is Kotto to 6ft 4, Duke could be 6ft 4.5 and just round down...]
Andrew says on 26/Aug/08
My brother saw him in a club in Geneva (switzerland), he was next to him. Dolph putted his hand on my bro's shoulder and smiled (because he knew he recognized him). My brother at that period (around 2003) was 190cm, he told me Dolph's shoulders level was a little higher than him, so Dolph's around 192-193cm.
BTW he was very friendly, not arrogant as some may be.
RisingForce says on 25/Aug/08
Dolph is about 6 inches taller than Stallone who I believe is 5'10.5"/5'10.75"
tp://tinyurl.com/5cpv9g

However he only has 2.5" or 3" max on Stallone when Sly has his lifts.
Click Here

So I think Dolph is 6'4.5" or 6'4.75". Maybe a weak 6'5" but probably slightly less. 195 cm sounds good.
King says on 21/Aug/08
Well, I saw the film The Man of War already yesterday and Dolph appeared to have the same height as Tiny Lister, maybe a half inch shorter. 6'5" sounds good for Lundgren but everything under 6'5" is underestimated, I think.
Djuro says on 18/Aug/08
I saw him out in NYC a few times - he is 6'2/6'3 tops.
1990boy says on 23/Jul/08
I'd say Dolph is no less than 6'3.5" and no more than 6'5".
Yaspaa says on 22/Jul/08
Johan,I love Dolph yet my opinion of Sweden being one of the worlds success stories and a wonderful place to live has not changed .
Yaspaa says on 21/Jul/08
How do you figure that Johan?
Johan Nilsson says on 20/Jul/08
Dolph Lundgren gives Sweden bad reputation.
Daniel says on 12/Jul/08
Ben says on 11/Jul/08: "Its amazing when i was 15yrs old i used to think he was a beast, now his physique isnt that special compared to what we see, even ben stiller seems to match it some of his films".

Ben Stiller? What the hell are you talking about? Are you nuts? Stop smoking that sh*t, man!
Ben says on 11/Jul/08
Dolph really looks to have lost height over the years, in rocky 4 his traps and neck looked far longer, maybe it was his hair that made him look that way, but now he seems to have really lost height in that area.

Its amazing when i was 15yrs old i used to think he was a beast, now his physique isnt that special compared to what we see, even ben stiller seems to match it some of his films.

He looks about 6'4 at most to me.
Daniel says on 9/Jul/08
If I were as tall as Dolph (1.95cm at least), I wouldn't care about telling my accurate height at all, and I could claim anything below that mark, as long as that claim would be credible. Do you really think he gives a f*ck about what people think his real height is? I'm almost sure he is taller than (at least) 90% men around him, even in his country (Sweden), which is not known for being a land of midgets, as far as I know.
GabeMc says on 8/Jul/08
That pic is an example of clever camera work to make Sly seem more like David. Check a recent interview with Dolf on Click Here the article there claims he is 6'3"
Daniel says on 6/Jul/08
If Lundgren wasn't at least 6'5'' by the time Rocky IV was made, then Stallone wasn't more than 5'7'', which is obviously ridiculous.
tuga says on 3/Jul/08
Ola, please read my posts...I posted a video, did you see it??
tuga says on 3/Jul/08
Ola says on 2/Jul/08
tuga this is for you Click Here dolph must be 6'10 there!

Thanks for the pic, now everyone can see how biased you are.

Ola says on 30/Jun/08
lets say dolph is 5'11 then everyone is happy

Just lame...is that your best argument??

My estimate for dolph: 6'4, possible 6´4 1/2.
thekiddd says on 3/Jul/08
Well I can guarantee you he isn't 6'10 or 5'10" lol.
Daniel says on 1/Jul/08
Let´s make them happier saying Lundgren is 5'10'' and always wore huge lifts!
Height Trackr says on 30/Jun/08
Riley so how tall did Dolph look to you? What would you estimate his height at?
tuga says on 26/Jun/08
Ola says on 25/Jun/08
tuga LOL, sly measures up good next to anyone these days becouse of his huge lifts... please! and sly was much closer to the camera in his pic with dolph, than he was with hogan

Stallone is not the point here...he´s just for comparison, its obvious he wears huge footware.

Face it, still today dolph is a little shorter, no man has camera advantage...
glenn says on 24/Jun/08
whatever i grab to send to rob,i grab ola.the pics arnt though out or planned.i have 1000s the site has never seen.
Yaspaa says on 23/Jun/08
Stallone should be studied,he is the only person I have ever seen get taller as they get older.
Anonymous,Dolph looks 6' in that pic which is beyond the realms of sanity,making it VOID! You falty picture poster. Thanks for the pic,it is freaking me out.
tuga says on 23/Jun/08
Ola, I´ve proven otherwise...

Hogan dwarfs stallone big time, like dolph NEVER did...

I even posted 2 recent photos of hogan and dolph with stallone, hogan still edges dolph:

So ola, its time back up your claims...

Viper says on 7/Jun/08
Dolph cant be shorter than 6-4 today. Hogan being taller than him today doesnt make any sense.

Ok viper, I posted a comparison between the 2 with stallone...doesn´t make any sence???
Post some evidence if you think otherwise...
Dolph does look shorter than sorbo, now that´s strange.
ed2 says on 19/Jun/08
He looks shorter than Kevin Sorbo and Kevin is slouching.

Not 6-5 Ever
thekiddd says on 18/Jun/08
4cm is 1.57 inch GF. If he lost height, I don't think it was that much.
GF says on 14/Jun/08
Keep in mind his age. He prob lost a good inch + (4 cm) since Rocky.
thekiddd says on 10/Jun/08
I do Agree Dolph Isn't above 6'4 1/2", but 6'3 1/2" is a bit low don't ya think?
thekiddd says on 7/Jun/08
Really Viper? I've never read any of them saying 6'6". But he definitely isn't that tall.
tuga says on 7/Jun/08
I posted this at hogan´s page.
Click Here

Hogan totally Dwarfs stallone, no camera angles, box...nothing, he makes stallone look like a midget.
Hogan has CLEARLY more height on stallone than dolph has, so OBVIOUS.

Even today hogan is a little taller than dolph even after huge loss of height.
Actually, dolph looks to have lost height too, if hogan is max 6'4 today dolph is little over 6'3.

Stallone with he´s HUGE footware is still growing ;)
Wait a few more years and he will be taller than both hogan and lundgren...
King says on 6/Jun/08
supes78, is Lundgren on this photo in front of Hogan? And I also agree to give Lundgren 6'5". I dunno how they could note him as 6'6"?
Danimal says on 6/Jun/08
Viper says on 5/Jun/08
So did Dolph shrink?

I think he did. Anyways, he is no less than 6'4" today.
glenn says on 6/Jun/08
thats what im trying to figure out viper.
thekiddd says on 6/Jun/08
Like I said below. I don't really think it would make a difference. Rob would probably still keep him at 6'4.25"
supes78 says on 5/Jun/08
Ola, look at this pic of Hogan facing off against Stallone from 1983, the man was in now way "only 6ft 3in" tall;

what the fuk are you talking about ola? your getting on my nerves.
Anonymous says on 2/Jun/08
"My father is a childhood friend (acquaintance) of him and according to my dad, he was around 195 centimetres give or take, in his 20.s." As I said, over 195 cm is what my father told me. That's about 6'5". He was a little shorter when I met him, but still more than an inch taller than me so definetly around 6'4 if not taller. I am, for the record 6'2.75.
thekiddd says on 31/May/08
Well, I'm pretty sure we can argue to death on Dolph's Height. But as far as I'm concerned, Rob is going to keep him at a strong 6'4" forever.
glenn says on 31/May/08
it isnt as easy as it seems.have to dig it up,which luckily in this case i think i know where it is.then i have to find time and a place to scan it in my busy schedule.there are tons of cool pics the site has never seen.hopefully,we will get them all up over time.
thekiddd says on 29/May/08
Hey Glenn, when are you going to put your photo of dolph on this site? I read below that you were going to submit one but that was dated 2 years ago. When are you going to put it up?
thekiddd says on 27/May/08
Ola, he isn't taller or the same height as Lister and Moeller. He look a little bit shorter than them.
thekiddd says on 27/May/08
I have never read any source claiming he was 6'6' Razor. Half of them say 6'4", the other half say either 6'4 3/4" or 6'5".
RAZOR says on 24/May/08
Lundgren is one of the biggest jokers ever. His peak height is 6'5". I dunno why they come up to 6'6".
thekiddd says on 21/May/08
Yeah. Lundgren probably thought 6'4 1/4" was close enough to claim 6'4". A strong 6'4" is probably it 6'4 1/2" MAX.
Yaspaa says on 20/May/08
The shoulder height gives the best comparison,Dolph's wider stance wouldn't give that much. 6'4.25 seems correct ( I was blown away and gutted when I found that he wasn't at least 6'5),very close to 6'6 for Ralph.
Inturnitator says on 16/May/08
OK but that would put Lundgren to 6'4 1/2" if he's 193cm at least.
thekiddd says on 15/May/08
You know supes, you do have a point but if you also look again, you can see that Lundgren is a step ahead of the camera from Moeller and Lister. All and All, I would say he is a little bit shorter than list like maybe 1 or 1/2 inch shorter than the 6'5er.
Height Tracker says on 13/May/08
I agree with supes78
supes78 says on 12/May/08
But carefully look at that photo by ronyo98 and notice that Dolph's feet are placed very far apart in relation to everyone else and that his head is also tilted down. If he corrected this, I have no doubt that we could see a more accurate height assessment of him.
thekiddd says on 12/May/08
Lister looks just a small margin shorter than Moeller. As for Lundgren I agree, he can't be 6'5" next to them.
miki says on 11/May/08
he is 1.95 cm barefoot
ronyo98 says on 11/May/08
Well Rob has Ralph at 197cm and Lister at 196. But according to this picture Click Here they are the same height.. Dolph, if he would be standig straight, is 194cm.
ronyo98 says on 11/May/08

Height Tracker says on 10/May/08
In that pic Bruce posted I would say that Ralph is just ever so slighly (about .5 inch) taller than Lister. And if Dolph were to put his legs together and stand straighter he would be about 1.5 to 2 inches shorter than Moeller. That puts him in the 6'4" range.
Bruce says on 9/May/08
Think it's tiny lister. Ralph and Tiny 6'5", Dolph 6'4".
ronyo98 says on 8/May/08
here's an interesting picture: Click Here
all the guys have the same military boots on.
Dolph is slouching a bit and he's legs are more apart. but if he was standig
straight I would say 2"(5cm) between him and ralph.
does anyone now who is the black dude on the far left?seems to be 2" taller then ralph
thekiddd says on 2/May/08
Like I said, maybe not quite 6'5" when he was younger. Do you think that's a possibility Glenn? Over 6'4" but not quite 6'5"?
jun says on 30/Apr/08
dolph lundgren 1,95cm, Ralph Moeller 1,97 cm, Hulk Hogan 1.92cm,
barefoot!!
Kid-Icarus says on 27/Mar/08
You know, when he said 6'5", he could have really been 6'4" 1/2" because if you tell someone your height plus a decimal, they will usually say your height without the fraction. Get what I mean?
Daniel says on 25/Mar/08
Time to upgrade the Swedish guy, Rob?
Chris175 says on 24/Mar/08
always seemed 6-5 to me
glenn says on 24/Mar/08
i know supes78.people here are ridiculous.
thekiddd says on 23/Mar/08
I think he is 6'4". Roger Ebert on his site described him as 6'4".
Click Here
supes78 says on 22/Mar/08
No way on earth he is 6'5"? Give me a break. There's no photographic proof of the guy being 6'3" tall. If there were, Rob would be the first to downgrade the man. And I think Glenn could tell the difference between 6'3" and 6'5" considering the tall celebs he's met. I think Dolph is 6'5" as he claims.
glenn says on 21/Mar/08
he told me 6-5,looked it,and lived a few blocks from me in 1994.maybe he shrunk a bit.a have a photo i never have time to post.
tllgUK says on 20/Mar/08
Dolph is a big guy for sure - BUT, there is no way on earth that he is 6'5". I know somebody very well that starred in a certain b-movie with him back in 2004. They are a true 6'5" themselves, and Dolph was clearly between 2 to 3" shorter than them in the one scene that they appear together in. Dolph therefore CANNOT be more than 6'3" - absolute maximum.
