Shaun says on 2/Feb/10
In Kelly's Heroes he was a little shorter than 6'4" Eastwood. I'd say Sutherland was more 6'3.5". He was noticeably taller than Sean Connery. So he had to be minimum 6'3".
Hugh 190-192cm says on 31/Dec/09
6"3 minimum in his prime, possibly 192cm. Today he looks 188-189cm peteyork says on 27/Nov/09
inch shorter than Jeff Goldblum who at peak I would say was 6ft 4 1/2, shoter than ryan in dirty dozen, slightly shorter than clint in kelly heros. two on sean connery who has said he was 6ft 1 1/2 inches. So 6ft 3 guyfrommars says on 15/Aug/09
He wore 2-inch heeled boots (18th century fashion) in Fellini's Casanova. Actually he looked tall in every movie he appeared in, plus his thin figure helping him. adam says on 13/Aug/09
He does look at least two inches taller! Im surprised. Gonzalo says on 12/Aug/09
He has ground advantage here but he looks taller than 1`87-88 Sean Connery.

At 4:50 he looks again taller than Connery. Easy over 1`90 in this fim adam says on 11/Aug/09
Just watched THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE. He did look very tall. At least 6-3. yoyo says on 17/May/09
his def near 6ft4 in 1980s.. but not quite 6ft4. i seen him in real in late 90s looks about 6"2.5 with a very bad posture. def 6ft3 in 90s. recent movies he could look as low as 6ft1.. RisingForce says on 11/May/09
He was about Clint Eastwood's height in Kelly's Heroes which was in 1970. 6-4 peak isn't hard for me to believe. he seemed like he was almost a head taller than mark wahlberg in the italian job(2003) and i peg mark at 5-7.5. donald was about 4 inches taller than stallone in lock up, which was 1989. yoyo says on 22/Apr/09
with his bad posture in movies and photo taken he could look as low as 6ft0.75(185cm). standing straight up he could be 6ft2 now. def not as tall as in the 1990s time especially in OutBreak standing next to 6ft2 Morgan Freeman looks 6ft3 tall. this oldman has shrunk quite alot.. 1.5in lost. Hugh 190cm says on 10/Apr/09
Actually maybe 6ft4 prime. He was over an inch taller than supposedly 6ft3 Elliot Gould in Mash. Hugh 190cm says on 10/Apr/09
Rob this guy still looks close enough to 6ft3. 188cm-189cm? Doug says on 4/Apr/09
Funny thing is although Kiefer is so much shorter he definately resembles Donald facially more than Rossif does. They definately have similar eyes and a long pointy face shape, you can definately see its his father even though he towers above Kiefer. Doug says on 4/Apr/09
In some recent photos Eastwood still looks in the 6'2" range and in one photo looks pretty evenly matched with Sutherland today. It seems strnage both men have lost two inches or more. If they were however 6'3".... \\_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 1/Mar/09
189cm nowadays. 192cm-193cm peak. \-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 21/Feb/09
I think 6ft3.75 was his peak. A weak 6ft4. Nowadays looks to have lost a little more than one inch. 6ft2-6ft2.5. yoyo says on 7/Feb/09
in 1970s to 80s hes a solid 6ft3.5 tall. in late 90s he has drop about 2cm and looks a good 190cm tall. nowadays 189 or abit lower like 188 make sense.. Doug says on 7/Feb/09
I don't think he ever was legit 6'4" barefoot, can't see anything above 6'3". Might have been 6'4" in shoes. Doug says on 7/Feb/09
How can a 6'4" guy only have a 5'8.5" son? It doesn't make sense. adam says on 6/Feb/09
I`ll have to agree. Sutherland was near 6-4 peak but I´d say never a full 6-4 man. Half an inch off from his peak height would be justified, eh Rob? Lenad says on 31/Jan/09
6ft2 if anything probably is his peak height. The 6ft4 is utter bull. adam says on 6/Jan/09
Well! Rob took an inch off from his current height which seems to be the right thing to do. Maybe half an inch off from his peak height, Rob? I mean he really was clearly shorter than Goldblum... yoyo says on 3/Jan/09
his son is all tall over 6ft2 accept Kiefer.. adam says on 1/Jan/09
Yes, Sutherland is a Canadian actor, not US. And he was possibly half an inch shorter than the listed height here. yoyo says on 27/Dec/08
his never a solid 6ft4. But a good 192ish in 1970s, In 1980s sometimes his bad posture makes look as low from 187 to 190 without a straight standing posture. Nowadays hes a strong 6ft1 without good posture, 6ft2 with a good one. Guy says on 25/Dec/08
Donald Sutherland is actually Canadian. yoyo says on 20/Dec/08
old donald is once 192cm tall. nowadays looks 188. His 6ft5 son rossif sutherland had 3in on him. so 188 now was right. adam says on 16/Dec/08
I would put him in the 6`3˝ - 6-4 -range. Wasn`t he clearly shorter than Jeff Goldblum. Goldblum was obviously 6-4˝ peak if not slightly more. Hugh says on 11/Dec/08
6ft4 is not impossible. He was a huge man for his generation. He looked huge bak in the day. He's tall a genuinely tall man. adam says on 9/Dec/08
Jesus christ my English sucked in the previous post! I apologize for that.
Lenad, he was obviously more than 6-2 peak. No questions about that. But he could have been slightly less than 6-4. Lenad says on 8/Dec/08
He really was 6ft2 peak. The 6ft4 is utter bull. Hugh says on 8/Dec/08
I'd say 6ft2.5-6ft3 these days. Lenad says on 7/Dec/08
Sutherland more like 6'3 maybe. adam says on 5/Dec/08
He is Canadian, not US. Lenad, it`s possible that he wasn`t quite 6-4 peak. Sutherland is one of those few tall guys here that could be listed slightly taller than what they are (or were) in reality.
Two things that don`t fit: Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum being the same height. Goldblum was taller than Sutherland in their film. Now Jeff Goldblum is at least 6-4 and in his peak very possibly more! Sutherland could have been only 6-3˝, that`s possible.
I dont mean to be rude but people Donald Sutherland isn`t the same height as Goldblum, Bill Duke, Seagal and other`s. Those three guys have to be more than 6-4, Sutherland perharps slightly less than 6-4. Lenad says on 4/Dec/08
US actor from dont look now? Yeah don't look 6'4 now. Lenad says on 2/Dec/08
He has never looked as tall as 6ft4. Ever... Vasquez says on 30/Nov/08
jeez, the exagerrations continue... I have met Donald Sutherland many times. He is 6'2"...possibly less now in his older age..... dmeyer says on 20/Oct/08
looks nearer 6 ft 2.25 to 6 ft 2.5 now 1.5 in loss at 70s is normal Anonymous says on 17/Oct/08
I find it hard to believe that Sutherland was ever 6'4. I'd put him at 6 ft 3 peak height these days doesn't look anything more than 6'2. Hugh says on 16/Oct/08
I wouldn't go lower than 6ft2 for this guy. He still pretty tall. 6ft2.5-6ft2.75 is his height I'd say. 6ft3 Max. 6ft4 was his peak. Anonymous says on 13/Oct/08
Nowadays he look no more than 6ft2.75, the less 6ft1.5 RICHARD says on 9/Oct/08
What I don't understand is how Donald's son,Keifer,is 5'8-5'10,yet his other son,Rossif,is 6'5. I know they're not blood brothers but half but c'mon Rossif towers his half-brother and is only 1 inch shorter than his dad. Maybe Rossif's mom was over 5'9 Ivan 6'2.25 says on 30/Sep/08
he looked now 6'2 adam says on 30/Sep/08
He had a terrible posture but if he fully straightened up he was 6-4. Nowadays maximum 6-3. Hugh says on 26/Sep/08
I think he's 6ft2.75 now and 6ft4 at his peak. Hugh says on 16/Sep/08
I buy 6ft4 at his peak or at the bare minimum 6ft3.5. tom says on 6/Sep/08
donald have the habit of slouching to talk eyes to eyes to the actors Emily says on 1/Sep/08
I actually do agree with the 6 ft 4 in at peak height. I can support my reasoning whenever I watch MASH. In an earlier scene when he was speaking to Gary Burghoff, he had to nearly bend straight over just to look at him an an eye-to-eye level. I think Burghoff is about five foot six, and I am as well. I have friends that are well over six feet and we look about the same together. Ed T. says on 12/Aug/08
I don't believe that he was ever a full 6'4" either, however, I think you have to give him at least 6'3" peak height( possibly 6'3.5"). Rocky says on 12/Aug/08
I have a very hard time believing that he is anywhere remotely close to 6'4'', more like 6'1''. chris says on 9/Aug/08
actually beatlefan, men have higher leg:torso ratios than women, adipose tissue on the upper thighs and hips give the illusion of longer legs in women. Liz says on 1/Aug/08
I'm currently watching "Cold Mountain", and can't believe how average he looks next to Nicole Kidman and Jude Law,actually he looks the same height as them, so no more than 6ft I would say. beatlefan says on 17/Jul/08
Thats quite suprising 'E' mind you guys on the whole have long bodies and short legs wheras women are the other way round. There are exceptions though, I have a 33 inch inseam and I am only average in height, I do look stupidly out of proportion though unless my shirt is untucked. E says on 16/Jul/08
He wears a 31 inch pant inseam. Thats quite a short inseam for someone that tall. Danimal says on 24/Jun/08
Looks to have dropped down to maybe 6'2" today from a peak 6'4". Anonymous KinG says on 4/May/08
he look 0.5in taller than 6ft1 clint eastwood in space cowboy.. i did say again hes really only 6ft2.. Ed T. says on 22/Mar/08
I watched the Dirty Dozen ( 1966/67) again yesterday. 6'6" Clint Walker appears to be 3 inches taller than a young Sutherland. In the same movie, Jim Brown( who was probably 6'2" max or maybe a slight bit shorter), does not look to be significantly shorter than Sutherland; I'd guess about one inch, maybe 1.5 inches. I think that Donald Sutherland's peak height was more likely 6'3.5" and maybe even closer to 6'3". Anonymous king says on 16/Mar/08
But how you explain that 6ft4.5 jeff goldblum was like 2.5in taller than him in the 70s flick body snatcher? Mr-Sutherland had an hair advantage in that movie(2in top up hair). At the 'hey day time Sutherland was bill as 6ft4.. could jeff goldblum be 6ft6.5 in 70s? No away.. But i personally believe his 6ft2.5barely in 70s.. Now maybe had drop abit of height due to his over 70age.. Anonymous king says on 12/Mar/08
Donald Sutherland don't looks 6ft3 nowadays.. i watch salem's lot 2year ago notice he looks a good 6ft1 at that show.. he had an bad hunches.. he looks as tall as 6ft geena davis somehow.. maybe 6ft1.5 barely.. Mark D. says on 22/Feb/08
He was about an inch and a half over Elliot Gould (who's 6'2") in MASH in the
very early 70s. By the Body Snachers movie, he was clearly an inch shorter or
more than 6'4.5" Jeff Golblum. In the 'old men astronaut' movie, he was about
an inch or two taller than the shrunken Clint Eastwood. I'd estimate he was a
solid 6'3.5" in youth (and rounded up to 6'4") and shrunk to 6'3" since then,
could be 6.2.5" now. He appeared about an inch taller than the 6'2" Morgan
Freeman in "Outbreak" some 10 years ago. So this measurement makes sense. kenji says on 10/Dec/07
his no more than 6ft.. if hes 6ft3 most 6ft3 guys might be 6ft6.. so to say 3in down for this men.. 6ft he looks most.. blink 198 says on 30/Nov/07
wow.. this guy is more than 6ft1 at all.. met him twice at chicago several years ago, looks a 6ft range.. 191 in this site was a big kidding. Tessedako says on 24/Nov/07
with a better standing posture this men might look 185cm barefoot.. Not sure about his shoe lift.. judge from my view his about 184cm barefooted.. 6ft3 his prime.. don look like a 6ft2 6ft3 height at all.. kenneth says on 17/Nov/07
tommy lee sounds right.. donald sutherland looks more like a 6ft range.. but he have quite abit hunches..so to say he might be a barefoot 184.5cm to 185cm with a very straight posture.. Tommy Lee says on 27/Oct/07
this old men looks no taller than 183~184cm.. im a breafoot 190.5cm , hes looks 2 & a half inches lower my height while i saw him in real for at least 4time.. 6ft3 for him is unless he wear a women heels.. haha.. Tommy says on 24/Oct/07
donald sutherland stand beside his 5ft9 son kiefer looks no more than 6ft.. kiefer is 176cm so donald should be only 183 ~ 184cm.. can't be 6ft3.. its crack.. kenneth says on 9/Jun/07
this folks looks just 6ft .. no idea his 6ft3 nowadays.. if his 6ft3 jeff goldblum would be 6ft7.. Steve says on 7/May/07
I met Donald Sutherland and shook his hand in San Antonio Florida at Saint Leo University when he was filming the movie "Instinct" with Cuba Gooding Jr..I met both of them and got their autographs which are now currently in my dresser. I am now 18 years old and 6'1, I met Donald and Cuba when I was around 12 or so, I was around 5'5 when I was 12 and I was only up to Mr.Sutherlands chest roughly. I'd say he was atleast 6'4 when I met him 5-6 years ago, he was a very friendly guy and i shook his hand as well as me and my brother ate dinner with him because they grilled burgers at the University. Was a good experience, and he is the only famous actor I have met so far being that I live in a small town in Florida. Any idea where Sutherland is now? Josh says on 30/Apr/07
DONALD WAS THE EXACT SAME HEIGHT AS 6FT 4 CLINT EASTWOOD IN KELLYS HEROES.
HE IS A BIT BELOW THAT HEIGHT NOW. oscar says on 30/Apr/07
Pat, broken hearted? Is height really that important? Leg bone surgery is painful and risky, and what, would you be a whole other person if you became one inch taller? A visit to a therapist would be a better use for the money if theres self esteem your out for. MHouillon says on 25/Feb/07
Yeah, I thought the same. I'd say he WAS 192cm and is 189 these days. Pat says on 25/Feb/07
Why don't stubby actors like Kiefer Sutherland have leg bone surgery? Dad Donald must have been broken hearted to see that his kid was so stunted.
Virtually every actress at least considers breast enhancement. Why don't mor actors get heigh enhancement? How long would you be off your feet if you had an inch or two added to your shins? Three months? Height Tracker says on 11/Feb/07
I just watched Kelly's Heroes and I actually thought Eastwood looked a little taller than him. Bill says on 4/Jan/07
Sutherland in N.E Scotland where Donalds' ancestors come from has the tallest male average height in the UK, they are about the same as the Fins and Dutch about 5-11 1/2 average and there are quite a lot of men that look like him up there and they are all around the 6-2 to 6-5 mark so he has the genes and I have no problem in the 6-3 to 6-4 range. denz says on 31/Dec/06
not away Sutherlands 6ft3 6ft4.. he could be only 6ft at most.. due to aging i can say.. while he looks only 6ft(183cm)nowadays... Anonymous says on 5/Nov/06
even if whalberg is 5'7, thats 1.70m, that 20cm would make him 1.90m Jon says on 3/Nov/06
Looked a little taller than Elliot Gould (6'3") in Mash, and certainly within 1-2cm of Goldblum (who was debatably taller than 6'4" back then) in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Also those who comment on his height being similar to that of Geena Davis on Commander in Chief must bare in mind that she most likely has a 1-2" heel advantage on Sutherland. My guess would be around 190cm today. j-c says on 3/Nov/06
I saw him several times when I was living in Quebec since 2004. He possesses a big house near a town called Magog. I am 1m79 and he has aproximatively 10cm more than me. dmeyer says on 2/Nov/06
looked it compare to whalberg like almost 20 cm taller but whalberg could be 5'7 Brad says on 2/Nov/06
6' 3". Held his own with Clint Eastwood who was 6' 4". kenochize says on 4/Oct/06
he looks 6ft1 about in space cowboys.. but i personally still don't think he ever reach 6ft3mark.. maybe a 6ft2even at his youth.. nowadays i agree he apear to be only 6ft tall.. kobby says on 19/Sep/06
in body snatcher he looks near190tall with shoe wore.. no idea if he barefoot might be 186or187.. nowadays does look 183.. even lower sometimes.. jane-Jz says on 18/Sep/06
I have watch 1978 body snatcher twice that although sutherland looks about 3cm lower than 193cm jeff goldblum a few scene..but i notice that was no much scene they both standing near and full image screenplay shot of jeff and sutherland stand near.. we can't see the shoe-lift of them.. a must of look out was sutherland hair style was blow up like an inches half to look more close to jeff.. in a few scene that sutherland himself full image with shoe does not looks over 6ft3.. i think that he was push abit height by his hair looks 6ft4 with his shoe on and hair..
nowadays he really looks 6ft(183cm) especially beside his son 175cm kiefer_
his youngerdays looks more like 6ft2 or 6ft1max(187cm)that was firmly true..and slowly push down to 186..185..then 6ft(183) now..
plp who think his a 6ft3 nowadays was kind of weird i think..i agree with ken..
lastly why jeff goldblum in his late 20s in 1978 body snatcher is 6ft4(193) and now still looks a firmly 6ft4(193)nowadays in his 50s.. logically to say that he should be lost 1~3cm.. i remember in jurassic park and THE FLY he always apear like 195(6ft5) or 6ft4max.. 6ft4(193)nowadays was then his real height.. gorgie.k7m says on 18/Sep/06
in the tv drama commander..he looks same tall as 6ft geena davis.. why anonymous thinks that his 6ft3?? so weir.. maybe 185cm(6ft1)could consider it.. Anonymous says on 16/Sep/06
hes towered over too many people in too many films, still at least 6ft3 Anonymous says on 10/Sep/06
ken, you can't seriously suggest Sutherland is only 5'11''. He might have lost an inch but still must be about 6'3''. ken says on 8/Sep/06
if his really 191cm tall in youth.. and nowadays why he only looks 5ft11~6ft(183cm) no more.. could any1 explain this?? 8cm is a..dam big diffrents.. 4cm still could consider.. Mikex says on 29/May/06
Just watched Bodysnatchers, appeared to be slightly shorter thanm Goldblum but not much difference. Anonymous says on 1/May/06
Kenneth, the modern generation of actors might be a bit bigger than those in the 60s. Sutherland might not be as comparitively tall as back then. I have no doubts he was 6'4'' and perhaps has lost an inch with age. Gonzalo says on 30/Apr/06
Yes, Kenneth, nowadays he doesn`t look taller than 6`1. But watch Body snatchers; he is as tall as Jeff Goldblum. He was at least 6`3 and a half Anonymous says on 28/Apr/06
watch his older films, i didnt realise how tall he was until i watched lock up kenneth pz says on 20/Apr/06
is there any evidents photo that he is 1.92m tall?? Coz I can't believe he is that tall.. He appear in new tv movies salems lot in 2004 he does look no more than 1.85m(6ft1) tall that obviously.. Mikex says on 16/Apr/06
He looked slightly taller than Clint in Kelly's Heroes I seeem to remember. Anonymous says on 14/Mar/06
had 2 inches on micheal caine in the eagle has landed and towered over sylvester stallone in lock up. definetely about 6'4" in prime Gonzalo says on 14/Mar/06
He was almost as tall as Jeff Goldblum in "Body snatchers" so he is at least 6`3, and I think a little bit over that. Now he doesn´t look that tall. I also remember him in the Oscars years ago next to his son Kiefer. Donald dwarfed Kiefer dmeyer says on 13/Mar/06
but 6'4 at his prime phil says on 14/Feb/06
It was in 1996's Hollow Point. It was a movie he did with Tia Carrere (who is 5'8" because I was right beside her) and that 6'5" Thomas Ian Griffith who started on the soap opera Another World.
[Editor Rob: ah, cool. I agree with Tia...she didn't have same posture as me in that pic on her page, but is indeed 5ft 8...] phil says on 12/Feb/06
I work part-time as an actor and I did a scene with Donald Sutherland. His stand-in was 6'2" but had to wear cowboy boots to be Donald's 6'3". He is 6'3" without a doubt.
[Editor Rob: is this in last few years or a while ago? Recently I'm not sure if he's looking just as tall as he was] snrub says on 7/Feb/06
In casanova he towers ovr every other actor but it could be camera tricks
D says on 19/Dec/05
yeah, his posture is really bad sometimes. there are some scenes in MASH where he looks smaller than Elliot Gould and in others he looks taller Anonymous says on 29/Nov/05
in doctor terrors house of horrors theres a brief scene when he is standing next to 6'5" Christopher Lee, and looks only slightly smaller, which makes him about 6'4" talker says on 28/Aug/05
He looks the same height with Eastwood in "Kelly's heroes" and taller than Sean Connery in "the great train robbery",he looked 6'4" then for sure. sam says on 19/Aug/05
I think he may have been 6'4" as a young man, but he's always had very, very bad posture, so he sometimes looks like 6'2" max. next to other actors. Mr Klaus says on 9/Jul/05
I meeted him a couple of years ago. I Think that he then 6 ft 4. mask says on 27/May/05
Yesterday i saw the film called "The dirty dozen" and there is a scene in which
he is standing next to Clint 6'6" Walker. Sutherland was very young in 1967 and
there is no way he is 6'4", maybe 6'2.5" |
