well shaun theres me thinking living an active lifestyle will prevent you from loosing height.
Shaun says on 9/Mar/10
James says on 17/Feb/10
Well the height loss could possibley be linked to the type of action roles he does? But Steven Seagal for example is still listed on this site as 6'4 and he probably does a lot more action roles than dolph.
The difference is Seagal sits on his fat backside all day long munching potato chips while not filming. Dolph is in the gym every day lifting heavy weights. Original says on 6/Mar/10
6'5 peak. James says on 6/Mar/10
Rob do you think maybe 6'3.75 could be closer for Dolph nowadays than a plain 6'3.5?
[Editor Rob: I think wear and tear has knocked a 1cm from him] Shaun says on 27/Feb/10
James says on 17/Feb/10
I think he's 193cm nowadays and I just think that him just being 6'3.5 is a bit extreme.
LOL yeah 192 cm is wack, ultra extreme but 193cm isn't LOL 6'3.5" is barely below 193cm!! Its 192!! PatB says on 27/Feb/10
A couple points.
First I'm 67. I find it hard to think of 52 as old.
I used to be 6'4" barefoot. On my birthday last month I carefully measured myself. I was 6'3.75". I wonder about all this speculation about height loss due to aging that I read in the posts here. OTH in college I knew a really big guy who made me look like a pygmy. I asked him how tall he was. He said 6'10' in the morning but only 6'7" by bedtime. This guy was not very, very heavy - maybe 400lbs +. He couldn't wear normal shoes or walk properly. He shuffled around in slippers. I don't think such extreme daily variations are common but I can beleive in a daily slump of a half inch for guys over 6'2".
When I was 25 I was 6'4" but I measured myself barefoot. Today I never go barefoot so I guess I'm now 6'6". If I had been a movie star how tall would I have claimed to have been? I just say six-four. I'm surprised by Lundgren being listed as 6'4.25". Usually tall guys just round it off to the nearest inch. For the wee guys the measurements are much finer - e.g. Al Pacino claims to be 5'4.2765" or some such. James says on 17/Feb/10

Rob, he clearly isn't 6`4.25 nowadays. I am not sure if he ever was at this point. It seems unlikely he lost and 1.5 inches at only 52.
well, some morons in here claimed hogan lost 3 even in his 30's so why couldnt dolph have lost over 1 at age 52?
HI METRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danimal says on 16/Feb/10
James says on 15/Feb/10
He's only 52, i am suprised he has lost 1 inch already.
Men supposedly lose .4" every decade after 40, so he should have lost more than .5" by 52, but there are MANY other factors that COULD be the case, such as surgery (spinal, knee, ankle, hip), or osteoporosis. Shaun says on 16/Feb/10
The Korean Hongman Choi is a 7'2" kickboxer. But I know what you mean PatB compared to some of the pro fighters around these days Dolph looks very skinny. Compared to some of the 6'8" 300 pound guys in the WWE and UFC. Personally I'd much rather have Dolph's frame than any of those big fighters. Dolph has more of a natural athletic frame than a bodybuilder frame. Also look how Dolph compared to Ralph Moeller. Just when you think Dolph is man mountain Moeller looked inches taller and a lot heavier framed even when Dolph was at his peak. He is undoubtedly a very big man compared to most though and still weighs around 230-235 so he is still big!! Just nothing bizarre as you say. James says on 15/Feb/10

Dolph's problem is he has been type cast as some kind of giant. When he first stared with Stalone in Rocky, Stalone was depicted as an average heavyweight. So when he stands next to Dolph, Dolph looks like the "Siberian Monster" - some kinda of commie genetic mutation freak.
But Lundgren is the one who is an average heavyweight. Stalone is middleweight.
Think about some of the boxing and mixed martial arts fighters of recent years. Bonecrusher Williams, Ridick Bowe, Buster Douglas, Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko brothers - all roughly the size of Lundgren. In MMA Tim Sylvia is much bigger than Lundren as are Wes Sims, Marcio Cruz, and Dan Christison. Brock Lesnar the current heavyweight champ is only 6'3" but much more heavily built than svelte Dolph.
Dolph Ludgren is a big man but not anything bizarre. Real fighters in the top weight classes are typically about his size - some a little bigger, some a little smaller.
In what is called Korean Sumo I recently saw a match on TV in which one guy who was 7'1" beat another who was 7'2". Both of these guys were long and lean, yet both were around 350 lbs. There are some really, really big guys in the world but Ludgren isn't one of them. supes78 says on 12/Feb/10
But we really don't see Dolph's footwear next to Conan so why accept that Dolph must be shorter? Shaun says on 4/Feb/10
Reading that extract provided by Rising about him always being more athletic and more intelligent than anyone. And with the blond hair and blue and genetics he's got, damn I bet Dolph would have been Hitler's prototype for superhuman! Jer says on 3/Feb/10
Dolph is at least 6'4, I'd even wager 6'5. I walked by him working out by a swimming pool, me with shoes, him without; and I am 6ft. That is one big dude. (B.T.W. this was around Fall 2009.) Shaun says on 1/Feb/10
Wow a downgrade. I agree with the current estimate but I am pretty sure Lundgren had a peak height of 195cm. I assume your estimate is based on the above photograph for peak? I'd say he has gone from 195 to 192. Ole says on 29/Jan/10
They shot some outdoor scenes for Showdown in Little Tokyo (as I recall, the winter of 1990) on the streets of Long Beach. They'd closed off the street so that I couldn't cross for a while and I wound up standing directly behind him for a couple of minutes. Now I didn't back up against him and feel the tops of our heads -- but at the time I was somewhat over 6'5" and he seemed taller. Anonymous says on 9/Jan/10

For all those who claimed Conan was under 6'4", are now faced with the truth that he has NEVER lied about his own height. I believe that Dolf WAS 6'4" at one point (even when he claimed 6'5.5"...probably in shoes). He appears to have dropped over an inch in height. The Ben says on 29/Dec/09
If Nielsen is 6'0-6'1 and wearing heels there than conan obrien is about 6'8..

I'm not sure what to make of the Conan O'Brien episode, I wonder what the foot ware was like between the two? Conan listed at 6'4" had him by at least an inch, maybe an inch and a half. If we assume equal footing Dolph would only be 6'2" - 6'3". He looks 6'4" in the photo above, however. Maybe Dolph goes 6'3.5" back in the day and 6'2.75" now? Seems like a lot of height loss for a 52 y/o man but it seems to be the case. supes78 says on 21/Dec/09
Even if Arlovski is 6ft 3in, which he's always been listed as 6ft 4in, Dolph still is at least as tall if not more. I'm not sure that Dolph is in front of Arlovski, more like he's got an arm that hangs in front of of Arlovksi's. If anything, I'd say Arlovski's head tilt gives Dolph a little edge. Danimal says on 21/Dec/09
I met Arlovski and can have Rob post the pic. He isn't over 6'3" (HIS OWN WORDS TO ME).... The Ben says on 21/Dec/09

his eye level to the top of his head would be 5 inches meaning that he's be 6'3.5 if the top of alan's head was at his eye level, but if you line up the top of alan's head (somewhere in the middle of the middle of the hair) with lundgren it looks bare minimum 1.5 inches under, more like 2 inches under. this makes lundgren at least 6'5 depending on what shoes he's wearing. Martin says on 15/Dec/09
Ye, it is clearly that he has lost some height, for whatever reason (lifting weights?). Saw him on swedish television the other day. Didn't look that towering that he used to. Ace says on 7/Dec/09
I doubt if he currently is 1.25 inches shorter than 6`4 conan o'brien that he was ever 6`5. He is only 52 years old. If he were 6`5, that would mean he has lost 2.25 inches. I am not actually sure you really lose any height at age 52 (except maybe a quarter inch). It is odd. It seems highly unlikely Dolph was only 6`3 prime. But either way, he is clearly no longer 6`4.25. TRS says on 7/Dec/09
I change that ... He looks more like 6'5" in that photo. IDK he is 6'4" now. TRS says on 4/Dec/09
He was likely a legit 6'5" in his prime / peak.
In that photo above i'd say he looks 6'4" but I might be wrong ... I'd say he might not be the same 6'5" he was in his 20s and 30s. mada says on 1/Dec/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. Anonymous says on 8/Nov/09

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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
It is on a site called aaahelps 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 Paul R. says on 28/Jan/09
I actually am 6'6.5" or 199cm by the way, I am listed 6'6" on my license. Danimal says on 23/Jan/09
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. Rafael says on 8/Dec/08
In rocky IV
He seems like 6´6 , if they say apollo creed is 6´2 .... otherwise
i would say 6ft5 . with boxing boots 6´6
the guy is huge spence says on 6/Dec/08
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. Susan Star Angel says on 25/Nov/08
He's how tall 6'5? That's awsome I wish I could be that tall,well he is adorable anyway... I shrunk I used to be 5'4 & now I'm 5'2 BLAH! thekiddd says on 25/Nov/08
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... 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... tuga says on 20/Jun/08
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. 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. |
