An average height guy, never appears short, and he looks clearly taller than Mike Tyson in that video...so why Tyson is still listed at 5'10 and Eddie at 5'9.25? He is also taller than Michael Jackson (who is 5'9) in that strange music video.
###
Hi, guys, sometimes I feel the average hight doesn't mean the medium hight. If the average height of male in a city is 178cm, a man who is 178cm will think he is a little bit of short. Because that means about 40%-50% of men are taller than him, he won't feel his height is medium. I want to say 183cm maybe kind of medium height, as the average hight is 178.
Sorry my poor english, but I real feel this.

Eddie Murphy is 5ft 10in not 5ft 9in he is not 1 1/2inches taller than Wesley Snipes he has 2 inches on Wesley Snipes Wesley Snipes is 5ft 8in Sylvester Stallone is 5ft 10in in Demolation Man has 2 inches on Wesley Snipes. Shaun says on 6/Feb/10
Looks the same height as Wesley Snipes to me. 5'9". 191cm/252lbs says on 4/Feb/10
I think 5ft 9.5 at the lowest. I think 177-178cm josh says on 29/Jan/10
michael jackson was 5'8 so this height seems accurate for eddie. Anonymous says on 27/Jan/10
i give murphy a solid 5'9". never goes under that mark. will smith is 6'1.5" and is slouching terribly next to murphy. REX6\'2 says on 26/Jan/10

I saw him the tonight show with Conan, and going up on stage with 6'4 Conan, he looked 5'10 on the mark. He looks to tall to be 5'8-5'9. I say he needs to be upgraded to 5'10. bla says on 8/Jan/10
MJ is 5 ft 9 so eddy could be around that height Anonymous says on 2/Dec/09
He looks 5'10 next to C.Diaz (probably in heels). Click Here Random Person says on 3/Nov/09
Always thought he was 5'7.75 - 5'8. Especially in Dreamgirls dre wil says on 23/Sep/09

Frank2 says on 28/Jul/09
Guys who say they're 5'10" like Murphy and Stallone are shorter by at least an inch. In Stallone's case by at least two.
So why Rob still lists Stallone as being 5'9 tall? yoyo says on 8/Aug/09
his everywhere same height as Wesly Snipes, both 5ft9ish Frank2 says on 28/Jul/09
I've seen Murphy in the flesh. He's 5'9". No more.
Like I keep saying. Always subtract an inch from the officially listed height and you'll be closer to the truth. Celebs who claim to be six feet are mostly 5'10" to 5'11". Guys who say they're 5'10" like Murphy and Stallone are shorter by at least an inch. In Stallone's case by at least two.
Now when you read that some actor is 6'1", that means they're most likely six feet even. The silliness usually stops once an actor claims 6'3". I found by then it makes no sense to lie. RisingForce says on 28/Jul/09
Here's a better picture from that day with Michael Jackson. Click Here
You can see that Murphy is visibly taller and Jackson is wearing boots with 2 inch heels. He looks a lot shorter with Arsenio Hall and Richard Pryor though. Mike says on 27/Jul/09
He's 5'9". Frank2 says on 25/Jul/09
No more than 5'9". T.J. says on 25/Jul/09
On raw he says 5'10" and on Nutty Professor he say's 5'10" and next to Dave Chappelle (6'0") he looks 5'10". Eddie I think is defanatly 5'10" jujag says on 15/Jul/09
I notproud to say this, but my wife dated him in LA. She is a true 5'10. I'm a true 5'11. I asked her about Eddie's height and she said he was short, but very nice. Like to spoil the ladies. She said he was clearly shorter than her. Ex models know all the teny tiny secrets. Clay says on 3/Jul/09
Murphy him self tells us on RAW that he is 5' 10" Frank2 says on 24/Jun/09
Murphy is no taller than 5'9" and is more like 5'8.5". And Mike Tyson was the same height as 5'9" Tony Danza on an episode of WHO'S THE BOSS that Tyson guest starred on. Jack says on 23/Jun/09

Thats an interesting one he definately looks 5'9' But I am 5 10 barefoot and 5'11 WITH SHOES. Most people think im only 5'9. and I will admit that I look that height even with shoes on and most people are amazed when they stand next to me. People who are 6'0 are always challenging me on my height and they ALWAYS only have one inch or so on me The Guy says on 18/Apr/09
In my country average is 5'7 i am 5'9.5" 176 cm like Eddie,i am above average :). RisingForce says on 22/Mar/09
Yeah, Eddie is 5'9.5". Exactly average, just like he usually looks. With elevator shoes he can pass for taller, maybe a weak 5'11". Doug says on 4/Mar/09
Brigette Nielsen who is clearly 184 cm claimed Murphy was 5'9.5" when she heard him say "I'm 5'10 shes like 6'2". 176 or 177 is about right. Brad says on 3/Mar/09
Correct. Walks like Cruise. Met him in '86, he's as listed. He remembers E.J. Korvettes out on the island. All us cheap bastads shopped Korvettes around NYC. Will says on 3/Mar/09
Eddie Murphy looks one of the taller 5'9ers I've seen. I think its a combination of good posture and nicely fit clothing he wears. Danimal says on 23/Feb/09

I think compared to the world average US-People are above average, becouse the asians, south americans and maybe the africans are clearly shorter than the us-people, but today the european are the tallest, especially skandinavians and netherlands. sunnyfan says on 18/Feb/09
my bad, actaully it`s right between 5.9.5 and 5.10 (177,6 cm)=P sunnyfan says on 18/Feb/09
5.9.5 is average for young males in the US risingforce not 5.25.. Realme2008 says on 25/Jan/09
Well, in the U.S. we are shorter. The average male is 5'9" or 5'10". I'm 5'9, and I never got called short unless I'm standing next to someone very tall. Source says on 25/Jan/09
RisingForce, i find it very hard to believe that 5'9.25(176cm) is average in the US. I live in Sweden and average here is 5'11(180cm). Im 5'9(175cm) and i get called short all the time =) RisingForce says on 25/Jan/09
Exactly, many people have the delusional opinion that anything under 6 feet is small for a man!
I always thought Eddie was 5'9.5", that's pretty much what Rob lists him at so I'd say this listing is very accurate. I was a pretty big fan in the 80's, but I haven't liked him that much since. leonari says on 23/Jan/09
Listen to rising all you fools out there. He speaks the truth!
Eddie says exactly that. But he ain't 5'10". Not below 5'9.25 if you ask me! Rob again: spot on mate. He was wearing heels when performing RAW. Ridiculous things...Still one of the best stand ups in history RisingForce says on 23/Jan/09
5'9.25" is exactly average male height in the US.
Defintion of small "Being below the average in size or magnitude."
Exactly average is NOT small. 5'9.25" is NOT small. I hate this type of ignorance, I can't stand when people call 5'9" or 5'10" small. Jamie says on 1/Jan/09
Eddie Murphy is quite a mall person he looks about 5ft9.25 Jamie says on 22/Dec/08
I think is "Raw" he says, "I'm 5' 10 170 lbs, do you think I can take out a whole dance club?!" RisingForce says on 7/Dec/08
I'd say 5'9.5" for Eddie but he could be shorter. anonymous says on 10/Nov/08
He's 176cm. He was taller than 5 foot 8 robert deniro in showtime. That's his height. Lenad says on 27/Sep/08
Wasnt he previously listed as 177cm?
[Editor Rob: yeah he was.] pappa says on 2/Sep/08
My friend said that Murphy is like 184cm??
[Editor Rob: the same friend who probably told you Meet Dave was a superb film?] Lmeister says on 12/Aug/08
Eddie is actually shorter than 5ft9 Jamie Foxx. Even this height must be standing on tiptoes. sf says on 12/May/08
Love how Eddie made sure he he leaned towards the camera to distort the heights. Right away, a sign he isn't as tall as he'd like to be.
5'9.25" sounds pretty good to me. mr. blue says on 11/May/08
No way 5'11 for Eddie at every time! In Beverly Hills Cop 6' Judge Reinold towered over him. Eddie looked no more than 5'9 max. in that movie most of the time.
Can't give anything than a weak 5'10 peak height for eddie, maybe even a little shorter ... TNT says on 7/Feb/08
i think eddie murphy is 5'8".
cuz there is a siene in a movie called i spy eddie was looking for his friend Owen Wilson and he was asking the peiople about if they had seen his friend and he says his friend discribtion that he mentioned in it that his friend is 5'9" and in that movie Owen Wilson looks an insh taller than eddie.
so i'll go for 5'8" for Eddie Murphy.
by the way in this site owen wilson is listed that Owen Wilson height: 5 ft 10.25 in (178 cm)!!! chris175 says on 18/Jan/08
that was good sid haha, i still think eddie is a solid 5-9 Sid says on 6/Jan/08
Click Here THIS IS THE FUNNIEST TALK ABOUT HEIGHT THIS IS ALSO ON THE STALLONE PAGE, THE BEST INFO OF MURPHYS AND STALLONES HEIGHT. FROM 2 MINS ONWARDS clark says on 3/Jan/08
The movie with Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin, there were some problems with the publicity shots because Martin appeared a lot taller than Eddie. There is no way eddie can be 5' 10 if Steve is a bit over 5'11. Eddie may be 5'10 with the best shoe lifts in the business. the shredder says on 11/Oct/07
Theres a few photos with Eddie Murphy , Jamie Fox and Will Smith ! .. Eddie murphy if anything is shorter then Fox who is 5'9 I say 5'8.5 min , 5'9 max for Eddie ! 5'10 is his height in shoes ! Adam Brennon says on 10/Oct/07
That's concluding, '5' 11"' comment was interesting. Can you elaborate? Stench says on 28/Sep/07
I'm exactly 5'8''1/4 (173.5 cm) through all day I suppose, don't really believe in morning/evenig stuff
I was always interested in height since I've nevere felt short or either tall.. My height is a tricky one though and I can easily look taller also because I'm skinny.
Nevertheless if I was 5'11 I swear I'd never be so curious about height Adam Brennon says on 27/Sep/07
How tall are you stench? Stench says on 25/Sep/07
I say, lucky who is a hair or someting over 5'9'' because they always surprises you: I mean you meet these people and you think that they might be 5'8'' but ...
There's a lot of cases like
Murphy
Depp
Stallone
Don Johnson
Kurt Russell
Spacey
Mel Gibson (though I still have doubts about him)
Leto (I'm not totally sure again)
They can wear low sneakers such as converse and still don't look so short
The only one that is in the 5'8'' range after years of researches is Tom (Cruise) runt says on 30/Jun/07
Jamie Foxx, Eddie and Will Smith. Foxx has a little help from the camera angle, Smith has it worst from the camera angle.
Click Here MD says on 29/Jun/07
Here he is with Russell Simmons, who's listed at 5'9", here, and is definitely no taller.
Click Here
Eddie is not over 5'9", though I doubt much shorter than that. And, if you believe that Jamie Foxx is a legitimate 5'9" barefoot, he's also never taller than him, so I'm not exactly see how this quarter inch is hanging in. runt says on 29/Jun/07
Looked 1" shorter than Jamie Foxx at the 13th Annual Screen Actor's Guild Awards shown on I M D B Cpt. Crunch says on 16/May/07
I was surprised when I finally saw him on the screen with Richard Pryor in "Harlem Nights" he was a full 1" shorter than the 5-10ish Pryor. I hope he wasn't wearing lifts! arman says on 6/Apr/07
i didnt see him before.but i think he is 176 or 177 cm actually.i'm 176 too,but when i say i am 180,nobody can find my real height dmeyer says on 25/Feb/07
176 make sens for him Clive says on 19/Feb/07
That's not impossible he's 176cm barefoot, as Banderas, Murphy wears big lifts

I saw the behind the scenes of Beverly Cop 2 and in there was Brigitte nielsen talking about Eddie murphy being shorter than 5.10 and she said "Eddie says that im 6.2 and he is 5.10 , but in reality im 6 ft and he is 5.9 and a bit" , like 1.76 ,and then was a funny scene when the two were talking about this and murphy saying he was 5.10 to brigitte and she saying the opposite to him , that he was 1.76. sleuth says on 9/Jan/07
It doesn't make sense for a 5'9.5" male actor to claim 5'10". Has that ever happened in the history of Hollywood? Eddie Smurfy is a clear 5'8.5". dmeyer says on 3/Jan/07
could have been 5'10 morning like i thaught 5'11.75 for myself but i think he is closer to 176-7 range possibly 5'9 flat but weres lifts to look a hair over 5'10 r jacob says on 15/Dec/06

I agree with Frank2.All the actors who say 5'11 they are 5'9" at the most(like orlando bloom) and the other actors who say that they are 5'10" they are 5'8" at the most(like jean claude van damme).That's my opinion which i believe is very true... Brad says on 18/Nov/06

muta says on 7/May/06
Eddie Murphy is a tough one. Some of the photos makes him look short but sometimes he looks taller. I know he says he is 5'10" Clive says on 5/May/06
TOTALLY agree with what you said Frank2 !!! Frank2 says on 4/May/06
Remove the half an inch and you have his true height. Eddie's no more than 5'9".
Remember the golden rule: If an actor admits to being 5'10" he's most likely shorter. This is especially true if he claims to be 5'11". Then of course the fellows who cliam to be six feet are mostly under. And then a few pinheads will say they're 6'1" when they're more likely to be around 5'11". then a few who claim to be 6'2" wear huge lifts and people buy it. In other words, throw out all the official heights and go by your eyes. Clive says on 2/May/06
During these last weeks I saw the film "Bowfinger" with Murphy and Steve Martin listed here as 182cm and like on Frank2's photos Murphy looks at least 5cm under on their pics of course... So 5'9.5 seemed to be a right estimation, didn't you? Anonymous says on 30/Apr/06
Looking at that picture of the Shirek cast that Clive sent. He's taller than 5'7" Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz but shorter than 5'9" Antonio Bandares. He's not tall! 5'10" is his phony height and actors want to make people think they're their goal height instead of what they actually are and not happy about it. All of those pictures give clear evidence that he's just trying to get away with wearing shoe lifts to be taller than Glen because he does not want to be listed as 5'8". Glen do you think he's really only 5'8"?
[Editor Rob: I saw another 48 hours last night....Nolte did have a noticeably good few inches, but I think he might have had slightly larger heels, hmm, I could see this guy being 5ft 9, looking more with lifts for sure] Frank2 says on 14/Apr/06
Bill Shatner was born with a hairpiece. Going way back to his appearance on a Twilight Zone episode he wore a full carpet as he did in the 1961 feature film Judgment at Nuremberg.
Burt started wearing hairpieces sometime after the 1972 film Deliverance. There were rumors that he tried an early form of hair transplantation as did Sinatra and the result looked so much like a hairbrush that he continued to wear toupes. Clive says on 14/Apr/06
Rob what are you waiting for to change Eddie's height ??? The last photo I saw with Prior don't let any doubt anymore !!! Terrence says on 13/Apr/06
This guy looks 5'9 Clive says on 13/Apr/06
Well said Frank2, well said !!! I totally agree with your "image's celebrities" concept which push them to increase their real height ! Frank2 says on 12/Apr/06
You're not fools (well maybe a few ar!). You're just trying to find the truth. If you only accept as fact what the celebs claim, you'll get nowhere fast. They almost all lie. I suppose it's human nature. How many driver's licenses have bogus heights on them? How many of you have given an optimistic height? In the case of celebrities, their image is everything so they must protect it at all costs. Horatio says on 12/Apr/06
God damn. As Frank has illustrated sometimes I wonder if we are all fools for posting here. I would downgrade Murphy to 5'9". Clive says on 12/Apr/06
Thanks for your comment Rob ! In that case there will be a consequence on Michael Jackson's height if we suppose Murphy is a 5'9 guy...
Continued on next episode or photos ;) Clive says on 11/Apr/06
So Rob what's your verdict about Frank2's photos ??? ;)
[Editor Rob: he could be a lift-wearer, Murphy...he can sure look 5ft 10 a helluva lot, I think he got special shoes for the film I-Spy...a 5ft 9 guy maybe] Clive says on 11/Apr/06
Great Frank2, that's right you're really the most reliable member!
Murphy looks 5'10 but his pics with wilson and Stallone made me very doubtful about the height written above (178cm) really Idon't know what to think... Frank2 says on 6/Apr/06
My favorite bogus height used in a movie script is in the classic Hitchcock film Saboteur when 5'10" Robert Cummings is announced on the radio as being 6'2". Clive says on 6/Apr/06
Yes man I noticed it too !! It's like Brad Pitt on Mr&Mrs Smith he was listed on his mini computer as 5'11. edu says on 5/Apr/06
in the movie " the nutty profesor" , in the laboratory , eddie murphy puts in a computer his height and is listed at 5.10
Clive says on 29/Mar/06
Frank2 : It is probably not you who are taller but the stars who are smaller ;)
As I said on Banderas' session it's easy for them to add 1 inch on their real height with the shoes they wear ! But as you had the chance to meet them face to face you could realize that there is a difference between what they PRETEND to measure and what they are in reality !!! So if it was up to me, I would take all the stars off 2cm to cancel "elevator shoes effects". Frank2 says on 27/Mar/06
How big were Murphy's shoes when you met him?
I'm beginning to think I'm taller than 5'11" since all these supposedly 5'10" guys are in fact much shorter when I meet them. Better go get measured fast! dan says on 25/Mar/06
i dont know , im 6'1 and when i met him he was mabey 3 or 4in shorter then me so i think hes at least 5'10 Clive says on 25/Mar/06
To my opinion Rob, even if Murphy doesn't stand up straight on the photo with Steve Martin, there is much more than 1.5inch between them ! So you may list list Murphy as 5ft9.5 and Michael Jackson as 5'9 to remain logic ! Frank2 says on 17/Mar/06
And I've seen Owen Wilson from about five feet away and if he's 5'11" then I'm 6'1". He has a nose that looks like it was smashed in at one time and was never properly fixed. Murphy is no more than 5'9". Probably closer to 5'8 1/2". He wears big shoes. andrew says on 16/Mar/06

[Editor Rob: you just copy the url (at the top of the page where the photo is) and paste it into your comment (make sure there's a space before/after the url) then it automatically gets converted to a clickable link. Is that what you meant?]
Frank2 says on 12/Mar/06
I've seen him in the flesh. He's no more than 5'9" max. He was several inches shorter than 6' Nick Nolte. And don't tell me Nolte is 6'3" or I'll scream! Clive says on 7/Mar/06
Really, I have the impression that in the celebrityheights' sites we always have famous peoples' heights with their shoes ! So in that case we can take off around 2cm to each celebrityheight !
Concerning Murphy, with all has been said, he may be a 176 or 177cm man ! Frank2 says on 27/Feb/06
Eddie is not 5'10" but is about 5'8 1/2". He usually wears lifts. phil says on 21/Feb/06
I work part-time as an actor and my agent got a call one day asking if I could be his double for one day. I wasn't available unfortunately, but I'm 5'9 1/2" on the nose, so 5'9" or 5'10" would clearly be right. dmeyer says on 16/Jan/06
easily 5'10 in this pic dmeyer says on 10/Nov/05
i am sure he is not over 178 but he looks over 5'10 compare to 6'4 rapaport in metro and he does look taller than 5'9 de niro 178 is a good guess but he looks way shorter than wilson in i spy Tubbs says on 14/Oct/05

5'10 with lifts but actually pushing 5'9 Big Dave says on 14/Apr/05
I agree with J. Eddie also looked about 2 inches taller than Martin Lawrence in that film, which would make him 5'9. I would say 5'10 is a bit of an embelishment. J. says on 16/Mar/05
Eddie's 5'9" without shoes. Watch Boomerang. There's a scene of him barefoot with Halle Berry. He's easily 3 inches taller. So 5'10" is his height with shoes on. In that photo below with Singleton and Cube, he's 1 inch taller than Cube and exactly 3 inches bigger than Singelton. Don't let the high top fade fool you with that pic! :-) Ricardo says on 19/Feb/05
Eddie Murphy is 5'8" |
