In my opinion there is only one way to really tell a height and that is to stand next to the person...tv angles etc. give such varied impressions. As i say, i stood next to Gary, he was sat opposite us in the First Lounge at LAX, chiselled, good looking intelligent chap, 5.8-5.9 without doubt...

Looks like their listed heights are accurate ... 5'9 for Gary:
Click Here PK says on 1/Jan/10
In "Rozencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead". Gary Oldman is maximum 1 cm taller than 5'7 Tim Roth. Rika says on 5/Dec/09
I couldn't believe the 5'9 lsiting. But the Movie angles would make him look smaller. In some films he did look 5'10. But others like DK and HP he looked 5'7. Sofia says on 6/Oct/09
I don't think looking at an actor in films is the best way to determine height,as some folks suggested regarding TDK as camera angles change things. Look at Oldman next to his Batman Begins costars at premiers, and they dwarf him. Dan Radcliffe, who is close friends with Oldman, says he is 5 foot 8. It seems likely to me that he asked the man himself, as he (Radcliffe) seems a little concerned about his own diminutive size, and idolizes Oldman? Just a thought. Trina says on 29/Sep/09
I have a photo of Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman when they were together. Once I figure out how to link properly I'll add it on. I am a fan from way back, lost track recently. I seem to recall the standard line way back was he was 5 foot 11 which I never quite believed but thought he was close - from his photos with Uma and Isabella Rossellini. Isabella is listed here as 5 foot 8, he always seemed taller than her in most photos when they were together in 1994, 1995. Though I was young and naive and didn't consider lifts as a possibility.
I can't believe he is only 5 foot 7 because he is taller than Tim Roth who is listed as 5 foot 7 here. They did 2 movies together and the one 1990 movie they were always in their scenes together, Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are Dead. maximus says on 28/Jul/09
I think he was 5'10" in his prime Lenad says on 9/May/09
Frank2 saw him at 5ft11 but that was probably lifts Random Person says on 15/Apr/09
Hmm pretty unsure on this dude, 5'9 could be right.. tim says on 15/Apr/09
no under 5'9. he looks short in harry potter and the prisoner of azkabhan but then again thewlis is like 6'3. he actually looked similar in dark knight to bale and eckhardt. Aratirion says on 19/Feb/09
Wasn't he listed at 5'8.5 all the time? How come you upgraded him, Rob?
[Editor Rob: maybe his posture at times isn't great] Trent says on 29/Jan/09
Wow, that surprises me. I never thought that he's shorter than 5'9 (at least in his prime). Mr. R. says on 24/Jan/09
People forget that Gary Oldman was married to Uma Thurman, and she towered over him. linebacker40 says on 7/Jan/09
A solid 5'9" Taylor says on 18/Dec/08
Click Here Looks equal to 5'10" David Bowie in this pic. Oldman looks taller in recent years.. has he started to wear lifts? Chip says on 17/Dec/08
He looked pretty tall in The Dark Knight, like about 5'10" or 5'11". Taylor says on 9/Dec/08
I agree Zach #2... was just watching Dark Knight again today and he looked close to Aaron Eckhart's height Zach # 2 says on 1/Dec/08
he looked pretty tall in TDK, i took him for a 5ft 10" dj says on 20/Sep/08
then what about michael gambon? is he really 6ft? saw a photo with oldman and they look about same height Emporium Destinate says on 7/May/08
Interesting you shoud say that Teo. Later on in 'Air Force One' when some government officials are looking at his criminal records it says 5'9 155lbs. He looks 5'8/9 to me and he has very narrow shoulders too which I think helps to back that up. Teo says on 7/Jan/08
In the movie "air force one" (also starring Harrison Ford), Gary oldmans character goes through a passport-control and there it says - "Height: 5ft11"
Now i know that's a bit far from the truth, hehe Anonymous says on 5/Dec/07
If Gary was folding his arms in that pic he'd look like Johnny Cage. SimonB says on 13/Oct/07
I stood right by him 3 days ago in the First Class Lounge in LA and he is without doubt 5.8 to 5.9, now sporting a jaunty moustache and glasses. Marcelo C. says on 4/Oct/07
Definitely, a great actor, so versatile that in "imagination" fits 7ft.
In real body, IŽd bet 5 ft. 9. JanJ says on 31/Jul/07
Oldman is around 5'8
with 5'8 hopper
Click Here Drew says on 7/May/07
Just watched Leon yesterday, and he looked in the 5'8" range. Fidelio says on 21/Mar/07
Actually, you look like another Nuno as well - Nuno Gomes, the Portugese football star. He isn't ugly either... Jenn says on 11/Feb/07
Dan Radcliffe recently said that Oldman is 5'8 leonari says on 9/Dec/06
5'8" nothing above this mark!
[Editor Rob: there can be some truth that when in his Uma days he felt the urge to enhance his shoes.
bizarelly Frank2 saw him at 5ft 10...that's a head scratcher if ever there was one...] Brad says on 9/Dec/06
Looks like a dead ringer for Nuno Bettencourt. I think Nuno is 5' 7" though. Ran into him at NAMM show years ago. Antron says on 22/Nov/06
looks 5'8 or so to my eyes Frank2 says on 7/Mar/06
I've seen in in person and he's at least five-ten. And that was without lifts. Anonymous says on 9/Feb/06
he looks 2 to 2.5" shorter than rhames in sin since he was wearing boots 5'9" sounds fair Damon says on 18/Jan/06
Wow, he looked taller than 5'8 in Leon from what I remember. Sometimes I honestly wonder if this site's viewers are short guys hoping their favorite celebrities are shorter than they really are. I'm 5'8 myself, and when I look in the mirror, I see a rather short guy. Maybe it is just heels or something, but seeing this guy on the screen, he looks taller than that. I would've sworn he was at least 5'10. Oh well, reading stuff like this makes me feel a bit better about my own height. :) Lmeister says on 7/Jan/06
I hate to say, but I was right about Gary 5'8''Oldman. JUSTMATT says on 6/Jan/06
He is obviously 5.7'' from Gleen photos and from Carradine interview so I don't understand why you Rob have him still at 5.9. Are you so busy that you can't change his height Rob or what else? :-D CelebHeights Editor says on 6/Jan/06
From a Keith Carradine interview, "At one time they were thinking of Gary Oldman for the part. Now, I think Gary Oldman is a great actor," says Carradine, "but Walter Hill, who directed the pilot, said, 'I am not having a 5ft 7in Englishman playing one of the great figures of American history" FASULO says on 30/Dec/05
Oh my god.he's really short.Probably under 173 Mr. R says on 28/Jun/05
People forget that Gary was Uma Thurman's first husband. I have never seen a pic of them together , ever. Rob, can you find one? myk says on 6/Jun/05
he was at the tonight show with jay leno...and he said he's 5'9"
[Editor Rob: when was this? recently, or a while ago?] Mr. Stench says on 2/Mar/05
Oh, Gary! I saw all his movie... and analyzed his height. Watch him especially in State of Grace with Sean Penn, I believe Gary is around 1.74 cm |
