George Clooney Height
George Clooney height: 5 ft 10.5 in (179 cm)

US Actor from ER and Ocean's Eleven. He stated on the Rosie show "I'm 5ft 11", although I think gave 5ft 11.5 in mid 90's. He has a tendency in films to do a lot of funny head movements that make him appear sometimes shorter than he actually is.

In Esquire magazine an interviewer said: "I decide to raise the stakes: CelebHeights.com....."Yes, I slouch," Clooney says. "My mother tells me that." So what's the truth? According to the man himself, he's five eleven and a half."

Taking into account there shoes, george is either mcgregor height or 1/2 inch taller. Upgrade for one or downgrade for the other.
bam says on 30/Oct/09
i think george is 5'11. He is 3 inches taller than mark wahlberg and ice cube. Rob don't you agree? He looks 3 inches taller minimum, more like 3.5. Thats back when he didn't slouch as badly.
Matthiew_- says on 22/Oct/09
Clooney = 178cm mid day IMO .
Realme2008 says on 15/Oct/09
Wow, after viewing this picture I've come to the conclusion that George has absolutely horrible posture! What in the world is he doing in this photo? Does he have some type of leg problem? Click Here
Kal says on 14/Oct/09
5'10 without shoes. Billy Murray towers over George in this photo.

In regerds to Clooney's height it is seems that everyone interested shoud take a look at Brad Pitt's page. We often compare the height of those two, and if you go to the post in Pitt's page from 10th October you will see a BAREFOOT picture of Pitt and Paltrow. He looks there no more than 5'10"flat. Now, how does that stand in regard to Clooney's height, I personally think that George is also about 5'10", or as listed here.

an illusion?
bam says on 9/Oct/09
clooney looks like he was 5'11.5 and shrunk to 5'10.5. He did have back surgery.

Although shrinking like lifts is usually overexaggerated. The guy is in his 40's.
blabla says on 6/Oct/09
you cannot judge a guys height depending of a Batman pic. Or any other picture or movie scene where you cannot see the feet. What is for sure: Clooney is not mor ethan the 5'11" he claims. And if you take a look at him near timothy or schwarzenegger or especially of him near this actor with the russian name in the movie Leatherheads who's supposed to be 6'3", than you might see that Clooney is more likey a 5'10" or even a little less than this.
geraldine sheerin says on 3/Oct/09
judging by his batman picture he looks over 6foot tall.
Rob G says on 3/Oct/09
Weak 5'8" for Ice Cube and weak 5'11" for Clooney makes sense. I personally think he is little taller then his buddy Pitt.
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Oct/09
5ft10.75 or 179-180cm
Jacob says on 2/Oct/09
Rob, i think we need an upgrade to 5'11". The evidence is just too compelling, all these pictures below suggest this and many pictures with Brad Pitt and Clooney show them having equal height (if Brad is not even smaller..) and Brad is listed as 5'11" ...
josh says on 1/Oct/09
he has to be wearing lifts because i know for sure ice cube is at least 5'8.
RisingForce says on 1/Oct/09
Great pictures, he looks 4 inches taller than Ice Cube to me.
MHouillon says on 28/Sep/09
McGregor's Converse Chucks are having lifts in them. His lower leg is way too long.
Weak 5'11 for Clooney.
TELLEM says on 28/Sep/09
if ice cube really is 5'8, then george clooney IS 5'11: Click Here

TELLEM says on 28/Sep/09
hes shorter than ving rhames in "out of sight". i can't PEG this man's height.
RisingForce says on 24/Sep/09
5'10.5" is fair for Clooney. He can look a strong 5'11" or a weak 5'10", some of that is posture and footwear.
RisingForce says on 20/Sep/09
Clooney seemed less than 2 inches shorter than 6'1" Quentin Tarantino throughout most of From Dusk Til Dawn.
Dylan says on 18/Sep/09
Jake, that photo just proved that clooney is 5'9.5 while slouching. he's taller than that 5'9 guy even with luggage on his shoulder and with a slouch. standing straight up he would have that gut by two inches. which puts him at 5'11
sriam says on 18/Sep/09

if he is 5 11 how big is this car?
recent says on 17/Sep/09
here with grant heslov listed here as 5'9 and ewan mcgregor listed as 5'9.5 ( though some think that he is little below 5'9 or 5'9 on the dot).

You can notice that clooney is wearing dress shoes while mcgregor converse.
Anonymous says on 12/Sep/09
clooney is same height as spacey. in the new photos spacey is jsut a bit tallerthan clooney,both in same military shoes in the movie men who stare at goats. check it out. So I think Clooney is 5'10 only,cause he wasnt taller than Spacey or McGregor,who are both 5'9.75
Original says on 6/Sep/09
5'10.
Adlai says on 31/Aug/09
A weak, weak 5'10. His build says it, as do countless photos like Paul's below.
nayd says on 31/Aug/09
Shorter men always lie about their height. I am a woman 5'8". I wear 4 inch high heels. That puts me at 6'. George Clooney passed by a line I was in, in the evening and I clearly had to look down to him. He is no taller than 5'9".
Rob G says on 31/Aug/09
Beckham picture shows him as a weak 5'10", but still I think listing here is pretty close. I concur dmeyer, Clooney and Pitt are vitually the same height, both are 5'10"ish.
Mister Lennon says on 20/Aug/09
I dont think this guy isnt over 5'10. He looks a clearly 5'10 guy and taht is what he is.
dmeyer says on 20/Aug/09
5 ft 11.5 is morning height for him in his 20s and 5 ft 11 during the day he is near 50 he lost probably 1 cm so 179 i think he could be one of those 5 ft 10.75 guys i also think he is aleast as tall as pitt maybe a hair taller
James S says on 14/Aug/09
Clooney next to Brad pitt looks a legitimate 5'10.5 to 5'11. Tall, but "tall medium"
DEACON says on 12/Aug/09
5 10.5 RİGHT
peteyork says on 4/Aug/09
Doug you will have to find me the picture again to comment, can not find it. There was a close up shot with Beckenham where he looks two inches short, then a second one of the full photo where you can see there feet. clooney looks eight inches short about the same height as victoria. If you can get a full length body shot of them side by side I am quite happy to reassess. Gordon brown picture he does look 5'9 to 5'10. Any full length shots?
Dylan says on 2/Aug/09
He is 5'11 without shoes on
Lenad says on 27/Jul/09
That 5'11 1/2 is in shoes definitly and Doug I think its because Clooney is a weak 5ft11 and Tobey is a weak 5ft7
RisingForce says on 26/Jul/09
Clooney towered over Colin Farrell. I'd say he's at the very least he's 5'10.5".
Doug says on 25/Jul/09
Looks 5'9" compared to Arnie. Sorry I mostly see him looking like a 5'9"-5'10" than a 5'11 to 6'2 guy. In most photos he looks 5'10" tops without lifts. When he is obviously wearing lifts he can almost reach 6'.
Doug says on 25/Jul/09
peteyork. Try the pic where he looks a good two inches shorter than 5'11" Beckham. Clooney lookes 5'9.5"-5'10" in most pics.
martin says on 25/Jul/09
well, his mug says 75,5 inches Click Here

and quentin is 6'6'' according to this Click Here

;)
xyz says on 24/Jul/09
In photos posted on May 22, the height difference between Arnie and Clooney was bigger than the more recent photo posted by "Paul."

Isn't Arnie 60? He probably lost some height. Unfortunately, cannot see shoes in all three photos.

Clooney strikes me as a medium size man, 5'9ish.
peteyork says on 22/Jul/09
Paul the only photo he looks 5'9 is Gordon Brown. All the others he looks at least 5'10, Arnold used to be 6'1 1/2. That photo the difference is the same between tarantino and clonney, who is still at least 6'1. clooney is most likely 5'10 1/2 as Rob has him. Damon 5'9 3/4 and Pitt 5'11 (deduct lifts if you want)
Dylan says on 22/Jul/09
Clooney is smiply 5'10 right now. He used to be an inch or mabye half an inch taller though.
moose says on 21/Jul/09
5-10 flat footed, 5-11 with shoes...my opinion
RisingForce says on 21/Jul/09
The picture with Arnold looks like it's from the 1990's when Arnold was 6'1.5" evening height. Clooney of course is slouching as well and a bit further from the camera. he doesn't look less than 5'10.5" there.
TELLEM says on 21/Jul/09
did he wear lifts in "3 kings" aswell?
Vibram says on 21/Jul/09
Clooney wore lifts in the 90s and early 2000s when he was at his most popular. He doesn't seem too bothered anymore and just chooses good 1.5" formal shoes.
Paul says on 21/Jul/09
Clooney is no more than 5'9".

With 6'2" Tommy Lee Click Here

With 6'0" Arnold Click Here

With Don Cheadle, who is over-listed at 5'8.25"...remember that he was only marginally taller than 5'6.75" Glenn, putting him right around 5'7" Click Here

And with 5'11" Gordon Brown Click Here
Vibram says on 20/Jul/09
My research and nitpicking estimate 177cm (5ft9.75) accurately for Mr. Clooney (recent Clooney pics aged 47/48) and 176cm at beddy byes. I could buy 178.5/179cm peak in the 80s through 90s though. He's a very medium-sized man.
Doug says on 17/Jul/09
I was kidding about Maguire being 5'5" but seriously he is 5'6.5"-5'7" tops. Downey Junior who is barely 5'8" is an inch taller.
Rob G says on 16/Jul/09
Doug, I agree fully on Pitt and Damon, still hesitate on Clooney though, for now I have him at 5'10", same as Pitt
Doug says on 16/Jul/09
I think both Pitt, Clooney and Damon are listed an inch taller than what they are barefoot on here. I'd say 5'10" for Pitt, 5'9.5" for Clooney and 5'8.5"-5'9" for Damon.
Doug says on 16/Jul/09
That's because Tobey Maguire is a midget 5'5". Looks at pics of Clooney with legit 5'112 ers and he is nothing more than 5"9.5 I agree with Lenad on 176cm barefoot.
Lenad says on 4/Jul/09
In the good German he was way bigger than Tobey Maguire
Lenad says on 4/Jul/09
Mr R thinks 5'10 max
JJ says on 3/Jul/09
I've done my research and I'm good at determining height by looking at a person and I'd say he's about 5'9~ 5'10 at most. about 176cm barefoot
Antonio says on 2/Jul/09
peteyork - I don't understand your post. Who in the world is "posh"?

Understand that I am only claiming that George .5" under yours. I believe he is 5-10.
peteyork says on 1/Jul/09
Antonia those are the worst photos I have seen on the site when you see the full photo and see posh is as big as george it blows all your creditability. There is a video somewhere with george and nicole kidman, they looked about the same size. The guy is at least 5'10 1/2 and maybe 5'11.
TELLEM says on 1/Jul/09
he isn't 5'9. seriously, do some research. once you do it, if you still insist hes 5'9, then you are the biggest joke on here.
Ali says on 30/Jun/09
There is absolutely no way that Clooney
is over 5'10.

He is somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10 max.
It's so clear, I don't know why he gets listed
as 179cm. You don't even need a ruler to see
very easily that he is shorter.
Rob G says on 28/Jun/09
Clooney as listed above
Pitt 5'10" or 5'10.5"
Damon 5'9" (max)
Da Man says on 28/Jun/09
There's already a Da Man dude, and you aren't me. Please pick a different handle.
Da Man says on 26/Jun/09
5 ft 9.5 tops
Pik says on 24/Jun/09
Good picture of Clooney with Armani, Antonio posted. This is how I look like with someone who is 170 cm. I am 178 cm, and looks like Clooney is the same height.
Anonymous says on 16/Jun/09
James, don't go by eye level. People are all different as far as their skull structure. You need to go by the tops of their heads. Obama has very short hair w/o hardly any help. Clooney has 2/3"+ from his hair style.
TELLEM says on 16/Jun/09
clooney at 5'9sh would mean mark wahlberg and ice cube would be 5'6. c'mon now
Haze says on 15/Jun/09
hes gotta be 5'9ish. pitt is around 5'10 and clooney although not by much, is shorter
TELLEM says on 13/Jun/09
hmmm those pics are convincing antonio that clooney definetly is under 5'11. like around 5'10 for sure. i had clooney at that height. its just with ie cube he was MUCH taller than him. ice cube must be shorter than 5'8 thats for sure.
Doug says on 13/Jun/09
Looks 5'9" in comparison to 6'3" Elliot Gould. He gives a 5'9" impression in a lot of photos to me more than 5'11". Compared to Julia Roberts, myabe 5'10". Glenn said he saw Clooney at 6'1". Wow he must have been in munsters as he looks nowhere near 6' let alone 6'1" next to Gould.
Antonio says on 13/Jun/09
Mr. President (6-1) 3" taller than Mr. Clooney.

Click Here
Antonio says on 13/Jun/09
Some additional George & Al pics. It is obvious that Al is heightening here, however George has never stood straighter. He is definitely at attention. His advantage though is still only 2.5". So in order for George to be 5-11 (6'+ w/shoes), Al would have to be wearing a shoe advantage of 4"! It's late, so correct my math if it is wrong.

Antonio says on 13/Jun/09
Here he is with Pacino, 5-6 on the site and your estimate Tellem, is 5-5.5. Gould is 6-2 nowadays according to Rob, and Garcia is 5-9.25 on this site.

Click Here

My question is: Do you think even if George stretches to his max, he would be 5.5" to 6" taller than Pacino, and 3" shorter than Gould?

As for Garcia, he only looks 2" higher than Al. I doubt that either of them are wearing lifts. If one were to, it would be Andy.
Antonio says on 13/Jun/09
Beckham is obviously leaning forward though, with the ability to stand even taller than he is.
TELLEM says on 12/Jun/09
then clooney is visibly slouching antonio. this guy is atleast 5'10.5 and maybe 5'11. i'm telling you, he had 5'8 ice cube by a solid 3 inches in 3 kings.
Doug says on 9/Jun/09
David Beckham is a strong 5'11" barefoot and he clearly has several inches on Clooney. In my view Clooney is a 5'9"er, my guess barefoot? 5'9.5". Only in lifts can he look a real 5'11er" I'm sure. Both Pitt and Clooney are extremely difficult to pin down as they were different lifts at various times and occasionally one may look an inch or two taller. In reality I think barefoot they are pretty similar.
TELLEM says on 8/Jun/09
watched 3 kings last night. if ice cube is really 5'8, then george clooney is 5'11 because thats what he looked it next to him.
bam says on 8/Jun/09
i see 5'10.5, possibly 5'11 based on that pic if clooney straightened out.
Jake says on 6/Jun/09
Mr R was right when he said Clooney was 5-9.5 at his absolute, absolute max.
burby says on 4/Jun/09
Thank you TELLEM
TELLEM says on 4/Jun/09
Jake says on 3/Jun/09
Im pretty sure Clooney's real barefoot height is 5-9 when he isnt wearing lifts.

Look at Clooney next to this guy on myspace. This guy is 5-9 comparing him to other measured athletes on his page. Hes an inch shorter than 5-10 Michael Turner for instance.

This guy and Clooney look about the same height. This dude really is no taller than 5-9. Click Here

Anyone who says 5-10.5 is laughably wrong. That might be his height in some small lifts.

You just proved with that photo that clooney with luggage and terrible posture is looking 5'9. hed really be 5'10.5 if he stood straight.
Jake says on 4/Jun/09
LOL at 5-10.5. If anything the other guy might be a hair taller than Clooney in that photo. Clooney is around 5-9 to MAYBE 5-9.5 max. Hes only 5-10.5 with a little help in his shoes.
burby says on 3/Jun/09
Jake, Clooney is clearly taller than that "dude" who is 5ft 9. Clooney looks to be carrying TWO luggage bags and is leaning in the picture. If he dropped the bags and stood up straight, he'd be the listed height of 5ft 10.5. I believe Clooney and Brad Pitt are the same exact height btw.

dmeyer says on 26/May/09
arnie was a tall men when he was young
TELLEM says on 25/May/09
i've been calling him 5'10.5 for the longest.
Antonio says on 25/May/09
My 6-2 friend met and spoke to Arnie in his prime. It was in he mid 80s. He said he had Arnold by 1.5-2.0". Arnie has obviously lost some height since then.

Those photos are telling, Tellem! George doesn't even look 5-10 there, however the guy just never stands up straight. I'm beginning to think he is about 5-10! I'm not ready to call this one, though, are you?
TELLEM says on 24/May/09
exactly. clooney looks 5'10-5'10ish next to arnie.
RisingForce says on 24/May/09
yeah, arnold does have him by close to 3 inches mathew, but arnold in his prime was 6-1.5 in the evening and 6-2 in the morning.
Mr T-Cakes says on 24/May/09
Those were absolutely fantastic pics, TELLEM. Certainly opened my eyes: haven't seen many Clooney films, but I would've guessed he was 5ft11, at least. After seeing those pics though,,, well, 5ft9.5/5ft10, probably.
Mathew says on 23/May/09
Clooney is only 5'10". Arnold has got him by like 3" or close to it.
GUK says on 23/May/09
I really think Clooney is a weak 5ft 10. Why?
Beckham is much taller, so is 5ft 11 Gordon Brown.
RisingForce says on 23/May/09
i see him hunching in the second photo. in the first arnie does have the posture advantage and he's slightly in front, but clooney could be wearing lifts. i still think that george is atleast 5-11 standing up straight.

Friend of mine saw him at The Bellagio in Vegas this week. Said 5' 11". Filming some movie at the airport.
Antonio says on 13/May/09
RisingForce - I know that mid stride aren't reliable. In fact, I'm beginning to think that no picture are truly reliable. I think that pics like this or any others that might pop-up showing total inaccuracies, should be discounted. Let's face it, we can not explain some.

I bring it to your attention, because Clooney appears so much shorter. I realize that he is not, but thought that was an odd photo.
RisingForce says on 13/May/09
mid-stride pictures simply aren't reliable for height comparisons.

watch the peacemaker, 5-10.5, 5-11 nicole kidman has slight heels and clooney isn't any shorter than her. he was also taller than her at premieres. he's 5-11ish standing straight.
Antonio says on 12/May/09
Can anyone explain this: Click Here

I realize that the road might be sloped, but it usually slopes down from the middle of the street. It just seems as though George is a lot shorter than the other 2. If Clooney is downslope from the other 2, then Damon should be downslope from Pitt, yet they are roughly the same height. All 3 members of this new "Ratpack" seem to be in similar stride.
J.J. says on 12/May/09
'Everybody' go to the Brad Pitt page and see the link 'Rob' has posted you can see Matt, Clooney and Pitt. These three listings are very accurate. Matt had a hat on so looked the same as Clooney, basically stole the 0.5" from Clooney.
'Rob' I applaud you, good job done.
RisingForce says on 10/May/09
george's awful posture makes him look more 5-10ish. standing straight, i'd say he's 5-11ish.
Brad says on 7/May/09
His listing by Rob above is correct. He tends to notch his head to the side, or his hips due to his messed up spinal injury.
Bo says on 1/May/09
no way, 5'10 TOPS
GUK says on 25/Apr/09
It confuses me why 5ft 11.5 is so much taller than clooney. OK he has some advantage here, but I'm seeing 1.5 to two inches taller. Add to that there is some debate if beckham is more 5ft 11. Also why did 5ft 11 Gordon Brown appear much taller?
I'm starting to think he's 5ft 10

I am trying to dig out a picture I took with him while he was filming Three Kings.I am 6' tall and he was considerably shorter...my guess 5'9". Everybody that took pics with him(and he was a real gentleman)remarked about his height.

i was JUST on set with him in st. louis. he is 5'9" to 5'10 tops!

People Mag lists George at 5-11. (Maybe with lifts)
glenn says on 25/Mar/09
thanks dmeyer.how have you been in general? you've been quiet lately.
RisingForce says on 24/Mar/09
Although I can't agree with you on Clooney Mr. R, you'll be pleased to know that Ving Rhames was dropped from 5'11.5" to the 5'10.5" that you alwayes estimated him at. Everyone on that page seems to agree with that now as well.
Mr. R says on 23/Mar/09
Thanks Gago!
dmeyer says on 22/Mar/09
i agree with glenn clooney might be more 5 ft 11 than 5 ft 10.5
glenn says on 21/Mar/09
i relish in knowing im right.one evening or encounter isnt enough for me.
Gago says on 21/Mar/09
Mr.R I fully agree with you on this, I met at last years Critic's Choice party walked past him several times, I even asked my 5'11 friend who I measured personally to stand next to him, and George was shorter.
RisingForce says on 20/Mar/09
George really does seem to be 5'11.5" to me.

this series of pictures of George with Adrien Brody who is listed here at 6'0".
Click Here

Neither have great posture, but they seem to be almost the same height. As far as I could tell Clooney's shoes looked like normal dress shoes that night.

That same night Clooney measured up pretty well to 6'1" Clint Eastwood, especially considering Clooney was slouching.
Click Here

Brad Pitt measured up about the samecompared to Eastwood. Click Here But then again look at Pitt's great posture and look at the heels he was wearing that night. Click Here

Clooney looks about 3 inches shorter than 6-2ish Will Smith. Neither have good posture, but Clooney's slouch seems worse and Will is a bit closer to the camera.
Click Here

Here you see Tobey Maguire closer to the camera and with better posture than Clooney, but he still looks about 4 inches shorter.
Click Here
I suspect with better posture that Clooney could look over the top of Maguire's head. Maguire gets listed here at 5'7.75" but I think he could be closer to 5'7". You'll also notice Cate Blanchett(listed 5'8.5" here) is slightly shorter than Clooney in the picture despite her big 3+ inch heels. Click Here

George's shoes Click Here didn't look any more suspicious than Maguire's shoes. Click Here

I have to agree with Glenn and Bam on this one. 5'11.5" with bad posture that makes him look shorter. George probably wears lifts once in a while, but I don't think he wears them 24/7 like Pitt for example. That explains Glenn's recent 6'1" sightings.
Antonio says on 20/Mar/09
Has George been downgraded from 5-11, Rob, or am I mistaken?

Anyway, Think many of these guys caim their height with their shoes on. I really do.

I think, he is similar to Pitt in height. I would list him at 5-10 max.
Mr. R says on 18/Mar/09
I met George during the "Good Night and Good Luck" tour. I stood on the stage right next to him. I am 5-11.5 George was between 5-9 and 5-10. He is at best 5-10 on a GOOD day! I will fight this one to the death!
glenn says on 18/Mar/09
thats right t-bird.not sure of the skinny part.saw him look 5-11.5 up until last year.lately looking 6-1 to me.i guess he discovered lifts.
Anonymous says on 18/Mar/09
I used to claim 5'11.5 when in reality i am 5'10.5-5'10.75. 5'11.5 is a very honest sounding height because most people in their right mind would just claim 6'. i think this claim reeks of over compensation. same with McConaughey.
T Bird says on 17/Mar/09
George is in town filming. My friend is on the set. Out of the blue he said "Clooney is a lot taller than you would think - and really skinny"
ali says on 15/Mar/09
175-176 cm max barefoot. He just is not
close to 180 cm. Only slightly taller
than Matt Damon who is 5-8.5.

the fact is clooney is listed at 5'10.5 here for a reason. Rob is excellent with height estimates. Either because clooney is 5'10.5, or because he looks it most of the time. (he often looks a 5'11 flat) If my hunch is correct, and clooney is 5'11.5, then he is the antiPitt. He looks shorter almost consistently due to posture, pitt looks consistently taller due to his neck cringing posture and lifts.
RisingForce says on 13/Mar/09
Pitt is closer to the camera in that picture, plus it's slightly tilted and Pitt has his "effect" posture while Clooney is slouching as he always is. That can make a big difference.
Doug says on 13/Mar/09
Sorry but does anybody only see only a half inch difference in height in the picture between Clooney, Damon and Pitt in their socks and slippers? Pitt is in slippers but this guy surely can't be over 5'9?? Pitt looks two inches taller. If Clooney was a legit 5.10.5", wouldn't that place Pitt at 6'0.5" without lifts? SUrely Pitt wasn't wearing lifts in his slippers?
bam says on 12/Mar/09
rob what happened to my post? Did I post it in the wrong page?

[Editor Rob: there was a pitt post, I can't recall if there was one you submitted here.]
Dan says on 8/Mar/09
I stood next to him....he's 5'9" .
RisingForce says on 5/Mar/09
In Glenn's picture George is slouching a lot and he still looks quite a bit taller. Standing straight he'd look 6 foot, did he have a footwear advantage Glenn?

I agree rising..
TELLEM says on 22/Feb/09
I saw that movie last night "DUDE" and at times they both looked the same height, BUT in some scenes pitt looked taller. i saw pitt and clooney's footwear when pitt was taller, and pitt's shoes were bigger than clooney's.
RisingForce says on 22/Feb/09
Pitt has much better posture than Clooney and Brad wears lifts 24/7.
Complex says on 21/Feb/09
5'10 on a good morning, 5'11.5 in lifts, 6'0 in good lifts...
The dude says on 21/Feb/09
Watching Ocean's Eleven as I write this. In the scene where Clooney and Pitt are visiting Eliot Gould to recruit him to the heist, Clooney and Pitt are walking away, and I distinctly noticed that Pitt had about 2 inches on Clooney. Either he was wearing chunky footwear (which has been reported) or he is actually 6', making Clooney 5'10 flat. So, maybe a slight downgrade for George?
RisingForce says on 21/Feb/09
Well if you're going to believe 5'11" then why not 5'11.5"? Why would a 5'11" man feel the need to lie by half an inch. Now if you think he's 5'10", 5'10.5" or 5'9.5" then it makes sense why he'd lied about being 5'11.5".
\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 20/Feb/09
Clooney could be 5ft11. But no taller than that.
RisingForce says on 16/Feb/09
Clooney does have really bad posture which is why I've always believed his 5-11.5 claim. I've never seen him look short. He looks average a lot, but never short.
bam says on 16/Feb/09
the thing about clooney is that he refers to himself as 5'11/5'11.5 and references that height as not tall, I think in an interview with nicole kidman. Also, in the gq article the writer states "you heard it from the man himself, he's 5'11 1/2". 5'11.5 guys can be very tricky. For those with relaxed posture, you'd swear they were barely 5'11, but only stretched out are they actually on the shallow side of tall.
Complex says on 14/Feb/09
I think if we keep in mind the size of his shoes with possible lifts inside, that it's clear he's 5'10 on a goodday barefoot...
Bill says on 14/Feb/09
No less than 5'11.
Mr. R. says on 13/Feb/09
James, George is wearing HUGE biker boots in From Dusk Till Dawn. The whole point was to make sure that he was not towered over by Tarentino.
Mister Lennon says on 11/Feb/09
Yes, i agree. He looks a legit 5'10 guy, not more.
Complex says on 10/Feb/09
Clooney is likely 5'10 or close to it right out of bed, 5'9.5 most of the day, and lower late in the evening. Least that's my view of it, could be wrong but I doubt he goes over 5'10.
Doug says on 10/Feb/09
Boy is this guy hard to pin down. Hes one of the few guys I find virtually impossible to provide an accurate estimate for. From the record I think Pitt usually is taller than him right but is likely wearing lifts etc? Didn't look that tall compared to Julia Roberts. I can't see anything under 5'9" and I can't see anything over 5'11". Looks neither short nor tall. 5'10" or a tad over is probably a good barefoot estimate mmm tricky one. That would put him a little above 5'11" in normal shoes. Thats about right I think has anybody ever seen Clooney looking 6 foot or taller? Thats usually a good indication of whether he is a legit 5'11" barefoot.
Mr. R. says on 10/Feb/09
I have some Leatherheads pics, I agree that at best Clooney looks 5-10 next to John Krasinski.
Complex says on 9/Feb/09
Exactly cb and mr. r, Krasinski made him look 5'10 tops, likely because it's a football movie and clooney didn't have lifts in his shoes, just a guess, either way, he looks between 5'9-5'10 next to 6'3 krasinski, 5'10 tops for Clooney! Which explains his lift wearing.
TELLEM says on 9/Feb/09
how can we forget leatherheads next to that 6'3 actor john _______? he looked 5'10 next to him
cb says on 9/Feb/09
I believe you Mr. R. This is what he looks, especially in the movie leatherheads.
cb says on 9/Feb/09
I believe you Mr. R. This is what he looks, especially in the movie leatherheads.
Mr. R. says on 9/Feb/09
When I met Clooney a few years ago, he was wearing these type of big shoes, and he was STILL shorter than me by an inch. I will fight to the death on my 5-9.5 eyewitness account of George!
glenn says on 8/Feb/09
good point risingforce.i was amazed how tall he looked next to 6-3 to 6-5 security at an event.
RisingForce says on 8/Feb/09
It's funny that George makes a point of wearing elevator shoes to look taller, but he doesn't even make the effort to stand straight a lot of the time. I'd think that standing straight would come first.

Even a pair of 2 inch cowboy boots with Stallone/Pitt posture works as well or better than a pair of 3 inch elevator shoes with Clooney's posture.
glenn says on 8/Feb/09
interesting find risingforce.i wouldve never have thought he wore lifts.but he grew lately.
RisingForce says on 7/Feb/09
glenn says on 6/Feb/09
andy garcia is 5-9 to 5-10.ive been seeing him all week.clooney is 5-11,5-11.5,looking 6-1 to me lately in i imagine lifts.

That makes sense, Clooney's shoes have looked pretty big lately. Click Here

but he did look about 2 inches taller than Pitt in that series of pictures where they both were probably wearing lifts.
Complex says on 7/Feb/09
Thanks mr. r, that's what I thought too, occasionally he looks tallish but 5'11 suits him well I think.
glenn says on 7/Feb/09
cheadle is 5-8,5-8.5.
Mr. R. says on 7/Feb/09
Complex, I have never met Dane Cook, but I have seen him listed at 5-11. Only lately have I seen 6 foot. Also notice that in his shows, he always wear those huge biker type boots. My guess is closer to 5-11.
Complex says on 6/Feb/09
Mr. R. you seem to be fairly accurate with celebs heights, I was curious how tall you think dane cook is, I always thought he was more 5'11 than 6'0, have you met him before?
TELLEM says on 6/Feb/09
if clooney is less than 5'10 than cheadle is around 5'6. but cheadle is about 5'7 so clooney could be 5'10
glenn says on 6/Feb/09
andy garcia is 5-9 to 5-10.ive been seeing him all week.clooney is 5-11,5-11.5,looking 6-1 to me lately in i imagine lifts.
Mr. R. says on 6/Feb/09
Bam, I am telling you George is not quite 5-10 without shoes. Also, I think Andy Garcia is about 5-8.
Complex says on 5/Feb/09
Mr. R's right, you can only tell so much in pics, I know about 3 ppl that have met Clooney, 4 counting mr. r whom I only know from posting and 3 of the 4 say Clooney is 5'10 tops, the 4th says Clooney looked 5'10.5, Kidman is tall for a woman,definately taller than Clooney in barefeet.
Mr. R. says on 5/Feb/09
But Miser, look at George's shoes in the first pic? They are pretty clunky! Also, we cannot see Nicole's shoes and I think that is important. Again, I have met both of them, and Nicole is about an inch and a half taller. Thanks for agreeing with me Gago. Things are rarely what they seem in pics!
RisingForce says on 4/Feb/09
Good pictures miser, he does look taller in dress shoes than Kidman does(probably in heels).
miser says on 4/Feb/09
Here are some pics of them:

Gago says on 4/Feb/09
Mr.R., I agree with you on this, I saw him at last years Critic's Choice Awards afterparty, walked past him several times, he was around 5'10.
Complex says on 3/Feb/09
Miser whether she's wearing heels or not it's irrelevant cuz Clooney is likely wearing heels, elevators that is, prolly with lifts. Kidman is taller than Clooney in barefeet. But to say Clooney is obviously taller is ignorant, cuz two ppl that are an inch different in height wouldn't be an obvious height difference.
TELLEM says on 3/Feb/09
LOL @ miser... Mr. R. is 5'11.5 not clooney.
RisingForce says on 3/Feb/09
Those are really good pictures miser. His shoes look like normal dress shoes. He looks 5-11.5 there because Kidman is 5-10.5, 5-11 and probably wearing heels.
miser says on 3/Feb/09
Click Here
miser says on 3/Feb/09
Oh really Mr. R... ;-) I think she is almost certainly smaller, maybe you are just being thrown off by the heels she was wearing when you met her...? Take a look at RisingForce's pics posted below and these:

If Nicole was wearing ANY type of heel in these (which is highly likely) then Clooney is obviously taller. Even if she was in flats... they would be about the same height.
Mr. R. says on 3/Feb/09
Miser, Nicole is definitely taller.
miser says on 2/Feb/09
Mr. R. - Maybe Nicole is 5-10, 5-10.5 and Clooney 5-11.5?
Mr. R. says on 2/Feb/09
But Glenn, isnt it possible that Clooney had lifts on The Peacemaker to make him appear as tall as Kidman? If they are both 5-11, they should be looking each other in the eye. I havent seen it in awhile, but I remember Clooney a little taller.
Complex says on 2/Feb/09
I'm with mr. r on this one, he met Clooney, he knows what he's talking about, 5'10 tops clooney!
glenn says on 1/Feb/09
i was on the set of the peacemaker for days.clooney is a legit 5-11,5-11.5.
RisingForce says on 1/Feb/09
I remember an interview where Matt Damon said that George Clooney called him the night before they were going to appear at a premiere and Matt said that George told him to wear big shoes because the ground there shrinks you.

I still think that George is around the height he claims, but I'm sure he wears height enhancing footwear sometimes too.
Mr. R. says on 1/Feb/09
Risingforce, you are right. George usually wears boots or other chunky type shoes to look taller. The day that I met him, his shoes were definitely on the chunky side.
Mr. R. says on 1/Feb/09
Risingforce, you are right, Clooney does look taller than Kidman in this pic. But it also proves my point, that pics don't tell the truth. Kidman is at least an inch and a half taller than Clooney based upon my actual meetings with them. They also did the movie "The Peacemaker" together, and I am sure that george used lifts.
RisingForce says on 30/Jan/09
He looks taller than Kidman here.
Click Here
Click Here

It's possible he's wearing lifts, but she's probably wearing heels.
bam says on 30/Jan/09
i have a friend who is barely 5'11 (claims 5'10.75) and another whose 5'11.5. You really can't tell the difference unless they stretch out and line up back to back. 5'11-5'11.5 is a very tricky height. I'm not surprised by clooney's listing at all. I think stretched out in the morning his claim is accurate. IS he taller than nicole kidman?
RisingForce says on 30/Jan/09
That may be tough Mr. R, it seems like Brad may have gotten George hooked on elevator shoes! Click Here

Pretty chunky shoes George has there.
Mr. R. says on 30/Jan/09
RisingForce, I agree with your right to disagree. I will have to find George myself, get him to take off his shoes, set up a mirror, and take a pic! Seriously, I need a new digital camera so that I can offer photo proof like Glen and Maumun. My birthday is coming up if anybody wants to buy me a present!
RisingForce says on 29/Jan/09
Who said Mr. R is lying? Nobody. I acknowledged his sighting, but I respectfully disagree. I'm with Glenn and Frank2 on this one. 5-11ish in my opinion.
Complex says on 29/Jan/09
I don't think Mr. R would randomly lie about this especially since he used his own height as comparison and they were on level ground, so I'm saying 5'10 in the morning barefoot for Clooney, likely 5'9 range. 5'11 something-6'0 in lifts!
RisingForce says on 29/Jan/09
That's interesting, what was his posture like when he walked past you? George generally doesn't have great posture, which I think can make him look shorter. I've also found that when I'm standing still and someone walks by me they can look shorter than they are depending on where they are in their stride. Of course if he was close to you when he turned to you then that wouldn't be a factor.

As of now I personally think he's 5-11.5 like he claims, but if I was there when you were and saw what you saw then 5-11.5 would probably sound absurd to me. However he certainly looked 5-11.5 in Glenn's picture with him.

Check out this picture of Clooney and Colin Farrell who is listed here at 5-10, and he gets listed from 5-9 to 5-11.
Click Here

George looks 3 inches taller, although their footwear is unknown. I have seen George wear chunky shoes at times, but Colin often wears boots too.

I think that George is pretty tricky because of his posture and the fact that he does wear what appear to be elevator shoes or boots once in a while. His proportions look more like a 5-11ish guy to me though.
Mr. R. says on 29/Jan/09
Risingforce, you are correct. I have even seen a celeb, estimated, and when I saw them again, did another estimation. Without a doubt, separate people can experience the same celebs at different heights, and their estimations may be correct at that time. Shoes, floor level, posture, etc certainly play into folks celeb estimates. That said, I had Clooney taller with my first two sightings closer to 5-11. But we were not on solid ground standing straight. When I went on stage, we were on level ground, and he turned right towards me and walked past. This time, all things equal and level, I came up with 5-9 to about 5-10.
Complex says on 28/Jan/09
Ok, I misread, sorry bout that..
glenn says on 28/Jan/09
correct risingforce.
RisingForce says on 28/Jan/09
No Glenn never saw Clooney barefoot as far as I know. I just meant that Glenn estimates him as a 5'11.5" barefoot guy who can pass for 6'1" in lifts.
Complex says on 27/Jan/09
Rising i'm confused...glenn you saw Clooney barefoot???? Maybe I read that wrong...
RisingForce says on 27/Jan/09
No, one person's sighting doesn't mean that Clooney can't be 5'11" or 5'11.5"

I respect Mr. R and his sighting, but everyone estimates differently. His sighting can be evidence that Clooney is much shorter than he claims, but it doesn't rule out George being around 5'11".

After all other sightings put Clooney at taller. Glenn says Clooney si 5'11.5" barefoot and can look 6'1" in lifts. Frank2 who is also 5'11" says Clooney is about 5'11".

You could have many people looking at someone at the same time and they may all estimate his height differently. So you're entitled to your belief that George is around 5'10" max, but 5'11", 5'11.5" hasn't been ruled out.
Complex says on 26/Jan/09
Exactly tellem, mr. r at 5'11.5 means Clooney can't be 5'11.5 or 5'11 even, let's be nice and give him 5'10, even tho i'm very positive that he's under :D
Clay says on 26/Jan/09
From that we can conclude Pitt is 6'0, Damon is 5'11, and George is 5'7. LOL.
Josh.J says on 26/Jan/09
wtf? - are you really gonna post pics like that for comparison? they are WALKING and quite hurridley. you can see pitt is almost standing straight, damon has his right leg straight while clooney is bending both legs. of course he looks shorter!
wtf? says on 26/Jan/09
look at this picture Click Here
RisingForce says on 26/Jan/09
That's interesting Mr. R. I still honestly think he's atleast in the 5'11" range, but your stories and sightings are always appreciated.
Mr. R. says on 26/Jan/09
When I first saw George at the Director's Guild that day, he was standing in the lobby. I walked behind him, and I was taller, but not by much. He walked past me as he went to the stage, and I was thinking about 5-11. But when I went on stage after the talk and stood next to him on level ground, he was considerably shorter than I first thought. I stand by my sighting; 5-10 on a good day.
TELLEM says on 25/Jan/09
yea and don't forget complex, mr. r IS 5'11.5...how is clooney that height if he was MUCH shorter than mr. r?
Complex says on 24/Jan/09
I'm with mr. r as I think that's his exact height. That's how i'd describe it too, on a really good day 5'10, that's seriously exactly what I think Clooney is.

When I first started posting on this site I didn't know what lifts and elevators were so I googled it and I found many sites that said "Elevators shoes worn by celebrities such as george clooney." Amazingly now I can't find even one that says that but i'm positive it was like 2 or 3 that said that. Like in elevators he's close to 6'0 or 5'11.5, but barefoot I doubt that high. Mr. r is right on this one. It would only be a whopping inch less than Rob has him at anyways so it's not hard to believe.
RisingForce says on 24/Jan/09
I believe you Glenn. There were a bunch of full body shot pictures where he had about 2 inches on Brad Pitt not long ago.
glenn says on 23/Jan/09
he is 6-1 to me lately.i imagine lifts.saw him last year at 5-11.5.with witnesses that sized him up too.
TELLEM says on 23/Jan/09
either way if george clooney is 5'9.5 like mr. R said (whos a 5'11.5 man by the way) if clooney would stand up straight hed be A STRONG 5'10 man...by the way, did i not say mr. R is 5'11.5?
