Leonari ... STOP your estimates as FACTS .. Its getting too much !
leonari says on 5/Feb/12
Btw: I don't believe his 5'5 3/4 nor his 5'6 claim. The man was a solid 5'5"
guy in his heyday. Never more.
leonari says on 5/Feb/12
Sam: Dustin is a professional so refusing to play with tall was never an option, but his short height bothered him a great deal...for years. Apparently he got therapy and managed to overcome it.
Jac says on 7/Jan/12
Recently saw him in outbreak next to Morgan freeman who's claimed to be 6ft 2. There are scenes in the movie where freeman and Hoffman looked close in height. I'd say 5ft 6.5..5ft 7 with shoes on. This was also in the mid 90's. Solid 5ff 6in.
Sam says on 30/Dec/11
Another guy who's probably lost a little height with age, maybe dipping 5'5" perhaps

3-4 inches, really? Seemed like 1.5 to a whole 2 inches in my eyes. I think Tom Cruise is 170-171...at most.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m says on 13/Dec/11
He looked a few inches shorter then 169-170 cm Ben Stiller in Meet the Fockers? 164 cm max for him today Rob would you agree?
Mr. R says on 13/Dec/11
Dustin is 5-4 these days. Saw him in Hollywood a few years ago.
Sam says on 12/Dec/11
He has never seemed to make a big deal about his short stature compared to other leading actors who have reportedly refused to share the screen with taller supporting casts or have worn lifts. Even 6'3.5" Chevy Chase had an issue with Sigourney Weaver sharing the screen with him due to her height, yet Hoffman has co-starred twice with Geena Davis and appeared way shorter.

He looked short in last chance harvey. How tall is emma thompson? She was at least ten cm taller than him, she had small heels. Samuel l jackson is 189cm. He always looked short. 5 foot 5.
marcus says on 25/Nov/11
with 6'2 Jon Voight , not quite 5'5.5" : Click Here
LAN Jiao says on 21/Oct/11
in sphere he look 7inch shorter than 6'3 claim samuel.l.jackson.
166 is definitely correct, sam is more 6'0.5 now.
Legend says on 4/Sep/11
Hoffman is not over 5'4 these days. At his peak, I don't know.
the shredder says on 26/Aug/11
does anyone know about this strange affair between hoffmann, redford and katherine ross mentioned before? i know for sure that hoffmann wanted to propose to ross but was dumped because of his height and because she was a follower of the templars knight, whose mission is to protect mary magdalen descendants
Ody says on 16/Aug/11
168cm Hoffman hunch, Cruise is definitely 3 inch taller, their shoes soles almost the same. When they sit down I can see the socks and ankle of both to determine and Cruise not wearing height props . I am very sure I got this right.
5\'8.76786 says on 9/Aug/11
5'5.5 at peak, otherwise I don't see how the heel did he looked 4 inches shorter than 171cm Tom Cruise in "Rainman". I bet Cruse had 2" in his elevator dress shoes, thus making him look 176, exactly 4 inches taller than Hoffman, otherwise the Hoff is below 5'5, which I think it's impossible, he has never hid his real height, actually it serves him for his character acting.
jake says on 8/Aug/11
A certain film site listed Hoffman as 5ft6.75....Whether he actually claimed that I'm doubtful. He was a weak 5ft6 at best at peak (166-167 cm) and is now most likely 5ft5 flat.
Brandon says on 14/Jul/11
actually, he looks 164-165 cm next to ben stiller.
Aly says on 8/Jul/11
He's probably more like 5'3. He looks seriously short.
Sam says on 6/Jul/11
During an Oscar broadcast Billy Crystal joked about Hoffman that the next presentor at 5'6" made him feel tall (or something to that effect) and then Hoffman came out and claimed "actually I'm 5'6 and three quarters"
leonari says on 28/Jun/11
Where did Hoffman claim 5'6.75"??
Hop says on 26/Jun/11
Hoffman says he is five foot six and 3/4 inches, and that's what he is. Or was in 1984 when he was on Broadway appearing as Willy Loman in DEATH OF A SALESMAN. I met him outside the theater and was less than a meter away from him and stood in front of him and we saw eyeball to eyeball which makes him around 5'7, so his 5'6 and 3/4s attribution he made at the Oscars I believe a generation later is spot on. (Btw, he has the worst skin on anyone I have ever seen. It looks like someone attacked him with an ice pick.)
Bon_ says on 26/Jun/11
166-167 cm at peak
dan says on 21/Jun/11
who cares.this height obsession with people is ridicules.are people that insecure they have to try and find something they think is wrong with someone to make themselves feel better?the height complex comes from all the people making fun of shorter people so don't blame small people for something society pushed on them=truth.

it seems some are disappointed when they here their favorite stars height?what does that have to do with anything?that way of thinking does not even make sense and if it does to you im afraid you have mental problems/insecuritys...
Marcus says on 13/Jun/11
in Rainman 5'7.75" Cruise had 4-3 inches of him all the time even when they had the same footwear.
PHL says on 10/Jun/11
well, stiler is listed here with 169cm. he does not seem only 3 cm taler than hoffman .... hoffman would be lucky to be 5'4.
h says on 5/May/11
no a lady who's 5-7 or 5-6 said he was like 4 inches shorter than her...he's probably like 5-3
Kaplan says on 28/Apr/11
Miss Ross had a huge crunch on Redford and was dumped when he decided to go on with former partner Sonia Braga. In spite of all of this, Ross who dislike very much Dustin probably told the truth when she stated how short was her leading man on "The Graduate" By the way, she's 5'6 or so.
Danimal says on 27/Apr/11
drew says on 6/Apr/11
he's 5"7 i don't think hes gotten any shorter a lot of his friends are around the 6"0 and up the women he's surrounded himself with only look taller or a bit taller because of their heels. he's a great actor nuff said

??? You're giving him more than an inch than he's claimed for himself??? News flash, he's in his 70's and yes, men by that age have lost more than 1" in height.. Around 5'4" today...
Steve says on 26/Apr/11
Although the argument between Ross and Redford is well known - the latter made serious remarks about Al behavior towards Redford former girlfriend and Dustin backed him up - Ross wasn't unfair, he's not taller than 5'4.
will says on 25/Apr/11
Dustin looked shorter than K. Ross when both walked side by side after going to a nightclub. In the marathon man he's at least 4 inches shorter than Lawrence Olivier who is believed to be quite short. But these rumours/gossips spread by Miss Ross are linked to a misunderstanding between her and Redford
Kaplan says on 24/Apr/11
katherine Ross once told my confessor that Hoffman, while filming the graduate with her, cursed his jewish origins for being smaller than every woman. According to her he was 5'3 1/2 at his peak.
Steve says on 17/Apr/11
if Dustin is 5'5.5 then Cruise must be 5'9
mister_lennon says on 12/Apr/11
Hoffma was always 5'5 at the max. Cruise have two inches on him. Cruise is about 5'7 and Hoffman about 5'5.
Van says on 10/Apr/11
In Rainman, in certain scenes, he looks to be only an inch or so shorter than Tom Cruise, who is listed here as 5'775". 5'5" seems a little low for his estimate, although TC's height has always been a little hard to pin down.
Brad says on 6/Apr/11
5 feet 5, never more.
drew says on 6/Apr/11
he's 5"7 i don't think hes gotten any shorter a lot of his friends are around the 6"0 and up the women he's surrounded himself with only look taller or a bit taller because of their heels. he's a great actor nuff said
julie says on 20/Feb/11
Almost tripped over him in New Orleans filming Runaway Jury. 5'2" TOPS.
Mr. Kaplan says on 15/Feb/11
Lol. Cruise, 5'9"?
Russ says on 10/Feb/11
He's apparently '5'6 and a half' so he said on a tv awards thing. He only looks around 2 or 3 inches smaller than Tom Cruise, who is around 5'9.
Larc 6 ft 1.5 in says on 10/Feb/11
In "Tootsie" Bill Murray looked like a monster next to him.
And Murray is 6'1.25 max.
Mr. Barnett says on 6/Jan/11
Dustin Hoffman was filming a movie on my college campus a couple of years ago. I admit, he seemed to be at least 5'4". He was standing next to the tall Will Ferrell so my perspective may have been skewed.
krazy krippled! says on 1/Jan/11
Hoffman is pretty short, but a really talented actor, btw, Tom Cruise was definitely taller than "the real Hoff" in Rainman, so Tom might be like 169 or 170 cm.
Mr. Kaplan says on 21/Dec/10
Looks 5'3" nowadays.
zane says on 20/Nov/10
Stood next to him in Kensington tiny guy 5 foot 3 max , what does that make Tom Cruise he doesnt look much taller than him in Rainman wow
5\'9 dude says on 14/Nov/10
Hes getting old now i'd say hes about 5'3 - 5'4 nowadays and probably 5'5.5 in his peak. Looked real short in meet the fockers even ben stiller had a noticeable height advantage on him and hes only like 5'7.
Mr. Kaplan says on 25/Oct/10
Shorter than every woman around... and in his youth that is. 5'5". That's it.
