Clearly just under 6 foot. Id agree with all the medical papers on him. 6'0" in the military, 5'11.75" for his first term in office and then 5'11".5" for his last medical. This would be consistent at his age and it also looks the case. Viper is just a madman. Captain Spaulding says on 23/Sep/08
Bush saying hes a little guy since hes 5'11" lol
Viper says on 22/Sep/08
Bush is no way in any shape or form almost 6-0. Hes 5-11 max or just under it. Big King says on 21/Sep/08
Keep dreaming, guys. Anything under 5'11" is ridiculous for Bush. I would give Bush almost 6 ft. Mihangel Jones says on 18/Sep/08

Karen, unless you work at the WH, I highly doubt you are being honest. Even congressional staffer don't ever get a chance to "pass by" the POTUS. JD says on 12/Sep/08
looked barely 5'10 if McCain is 5'8 like the site says. Big King says on 8/Sep/08
Karen, please read the text under the headline. It is written that Bush got measured at 5'11 3/4"! Even if he doesn't look tall enough. He could also state his height as 6'. Karen says on 7/Sep/08
I saw him recently nearly passed by him. I would say about 5'9" is his height. Big King says on 7/Sep/08
I saw photos with Bush and John Kerry. Kerry is at least 6'4", I'd say he'd be almost 6'5". Kerry is five inches taller than Bush, that's for sure. Big King says on 4/Sep/08
If Bush got already measured 5'11 3/4" one time, then he's around 6 feet in the morning. Stating his height as 6 feet wouldn't be wrong because he is almost two inches shorter than Arnold Schwarzenegger and if Arnold was 6'1 1/2", then Bush has to be something around 6 feet. Anonymous says on 22/Aug/08
Bush only looked a max of 2 inches taller than the 5-7 MCcain when they met at the White House. They were photographed standing together and there was very little height difference. Bush's real height is 5-9. Joe257 says on 21/Aug/08
Often looks 6'2.5" when photographed with other world leaders or at special events. He must wear lifts. Mr. R says on 21/Aug/08

I don't know where you saw Phelps listed as that, because EVERY listing has him at 6'4", which he looks. So, perhaps you need to revise your question. Viper says on 17/Aug/08
Phelps is no 6-7, lol. I doubt hes even 6-4. M says on 17/Aug/08

Bush could be 5'11" at his peak, but he is more about 5'10"-5'10.5" now Daniel says on 16/Jul/08
Bush seems a little tall to me in every photo or video I've seen of him, so 5'11'' seems accurate. Those who say he is under 1.78m should stop posting those BS comments. By the way, I don't like Bush at all. Alex says on 8/Jul/08
A little guy wouldn't be 5'11. Lynn says on 5/Jul/08
Gustav,

He never seems shorter, never. He is 178-179 cm minimum. little one says on 2/Jul/08
RT - may I suggest that you might not be 5'10? perhaps you are taller. Ian says on 27/Jun/08
5ft 11 isn't tiny either Ja Z not laughable tiny. He looks the same height as Tony Blair in their many meetings and Blair is 6ft I recall. So I guess his 5ft11.5-.75 claim will be about right. When he says he is the little guy it's because his family members are taller than him. Gustav says on 27/Jun/08
He's clearly 1.76-1.78 mt to my eyes, never 1.80 barefoot Ja Z says on 26/Jun/08
Ha! 5'11 thats not realy tall and my uncle is talking 'bout u r 6'4 that's 5 inches shorter not to tease u but SHORTY MCSHORTSHORT!!!!! (I tease!) RT says on 24/Jun/08
President Bush walked past me at Kirtland AFB, NM a few years ago. I was 6 - 10 feet away from him. I'm 5' 10" and the President was much shorter than I. I would estimate his height as 5' 6" - 5' 8". little one says on 20/Jun/08
on arriving at Amsterdam, HOlland, i was surprised at how short i felt. I am 5'11 and even the children seemed huge. I felt like i was in the land of giants. even the staircases were larger than i was used to... MD says on 18/Jun/08
Sarkozy is a major lift wearer, Mo. Kyle, Houston says on 16/Jun/08
I went to Germany and found the men to be taller than Americans, but the women seemed much, much taller than American women. Mo says on 15/Jun/08
I was curious about his height because there's some recent photos of him next to France's Sarkozy (5,4"?) and though Bush is much taller, he's not immensely towering over him. Viper says on 11/Jun/08
Bush does look shorter than 5-11 a lot. delphonic says on 7/Jun/08
Bush is only 2 inches taller than McCain. McCain's biographies state he is 5'7". I think he used lifts to look almost 5'9" at his debates with the much taller Romney. But it is well documented for years that he is 5'7". Bush is a strong 5'9" who occasionally uses lifts or cowboy boots to look 5'11"ish.
Click Here John says on 7/Jun/08
Does Bush wear lifts? Crush says on 3/Jun/08
If he got mesured at 5'11.75 or 5'11.5 i don't understand why he says "I'm a little guy, i'm about 5'11"
He could also say "I'm 5'11.75" or "I'm about 6'0", but if he's rerally a little over 5'11, why does he downgrade himself??
Guys usually NOT downgrade themselves, especially (proudly) presidents, because of this i'm very suspicious if he's at least a tad under 5'11 ... RAZOR says on 22/May/08
If Bush already got measured as 5'11 3/4" then his real height could be 6 feet. Rocky says on 14/May/08
The average white American male height 20-39 is 5'9.5'', the median 5'10.5''
Buildwise is a different story. Rocky says on 14/May/08
Bush is definitely 5'11'' or less, not 6'1'' as sometimes listed.

Actually, the average height for an white American male (20-39), which was measured only a few years ago, is just over 5'10" (5'-10.2") JackieTreehorn says on 8/May/08
Tucker Carlson estimated him at 5-10 when interviewed on Bubba Love Sponge radio show.
About national averages below: When countries list their averages, they are listing all adults, even old people who have shrunk. It is clear that the average 20something is going to be taller, maybe even more than an inch taller than this average. I would bet the average American 20something is near 5-11 now and can believe the 6-1 claims of some Europeans. Anonymous KinG says on 7/May/08

People in the north (Groningen & Friesland) are about 3 cm taller then people from the south, in the bigger city's the people are also about 3 cm taller. So when you walk in Amsterdam you'll see that most YOUNG male adults 17 - 30 are 6'2 (1.88 m) Compared to the dutch avarage (1.85 m) you'll see a gap of 3 cm...

The picture with McCain (who is listed everywhere as 5'7) shows a maximum height difference of 2 inches, proves once and for all, that Bush is no more than 5'9 barefoot. When he would appear with 6'0 Tony Blair, he was certainly wearing lifts to boost his height.

I only watched for a few mins though . He must be 5'9ish I would think. Lebensdorf says on 22/Feb/08
No, 5'11'' is not little. In the US, you would have to be less than 5'9.25'' to be considered under-average height. I seriously doubt the president looks taller than 5'10.5'' and if celebrities can put down exaggerated heights in their CVs, presidents can too.
This wouldn't be the first time this president exaggerated information. chris175 says on 10/Feb/08

Hey Rob how about adding the now presumptive GOP nominee Senator John McCain. I know you're not big on political figures, but Hillary is here. McCain, now in his 70s, personally doesn't look anything past 5'8" to me, but 5'9" may be a fairer starting point for him. Neonmir says on 7/Feb/08
If Bush was 5 ft 11.75 in at his measurements, then his real height is 6 feet. Hours have passed when he got measured and the real height is the height after out of bed. Bush is 6 feet at least but looks rather short. jimmy johnson says on 31/Jan/08
pictures arent good enough for people to differentiate what anyones height is, anbything could affect the results, level of ground, posture, distance, shoes that are being worn, literally just about anything can affect pictures, its not a legitimate means of evidence jimmy johnson says on 31/Jan/08
how can you say i dont think hes 5"11" that he looks more like 5"9.75, im sorry i didnt realize by looking at a picture you could accurately distinguish the 1.25" differnce, if his physical says hes 5"11" he more than likely is just that, regardless why is anyone gonna fight about it, i simply just wanted to know for myself and found this forum where everyones making an ass of themselves Brandon says on 28/Jan/08

leak is also wearing big a*s cowboy boots there giving him an inch easy on bush's footwear, leak is 5'11.875" tall so basically 6'2 in cowboys there, bush is 5'11.5 barefoot and probably 6'0.5" in shoes Click Here Alex says on 18/Dec/07
If Leak was measured 5'11 3/4 likely it was in the morning so he may be really 5'11 1/4-5'11 1/2 only but the picture is favoring him but he still would have at least 1-1.5 inches on Bush. Bush is 5'10 I think. Lynn says on 15/Dec/07
@kevint,
I disagree a little with you.
The analysis of a tons of pics shows that Bush is around 178 cm ( 5'10" ) barefeet before bed. kevint says on 15/Dec/07
Regarding the above quote, 5' 11" is not little; it's slightly taller than average. Which Bush is not.
Barefoot, he can't be over 5' 9" at most. He should be downgraded. If the White House physicals list him as 5' 11.5", they are measuring him with his Tony Lama boots on. old jonnie says on 15/Dec/07

I have my doubts on Troy Smith being 6-0, actually lol. I joke that he stood on his tip toes when they measured him. He just physically looks 5-10-5-11.

@Gonzalo,
ok, sorry for my previous post.
The facts are that Bush is shorter than Blair that SURELY is 6' even, and he hes shorter than Arnold that nowdays seems MAX 5'11.5".
And he seems equal or a little shorter than Gordon Brown, 5'11" officially.

so Prodi only 168 cm barefeet. I agree.
How much about Fini, Rutelli, Veltroni and above all Berlusconi? dmeyer says on 27/Aug/07
you should give him peak height bam says on 27/Aug/07
rob, do you think his annual fitness exam height of 5'11.5 is exaggerating the truth? Its just a half inch, but if bush was at one point 5'11.75 that means he was a weak 6 foot.
[Editor Rob: do you trust your government are telling the truth, maybe I should trust them on this and just give him his due of 5ft 11.75 peak. I mean, the government have no reason to lie now...] MD says on 31/Jul/07
Brown is simply taller than Bush. That's all there is too it, if only marginally taller. TJ says on 31/Jul/07
Yes Rob, but if someone sees an unexpected result like that, you would think they would assume uneven ground was the reason, not leap on it as fact.
[Editor Rob: I just looked again - it's hard to see how much the path could be giving, but I notice in more than one pic Brown is kind of giving himself a leg up - here] TJ says on 31/Jul/07
It's total nonsense to day Brown is 2-3 inches taller than Bush. There are pics from the summit where they look the same size, pics where Brown looks taller and pics where Bush looks taller. It depends on camera angle, who is slouching and whether the ground is even. This vid Click Here
suggests at the outset that Brown is around an inch taller, but I've seen a pic and that path isn't even. Later in the vid we see them shaking hands after the press conference (2m 48s) and walking off and, if anything, Bush looks to have the edge. In any case, talk of Brown being 2-inches taller is ridiculous.
[Editor Rob: people were going by the part where they walked from chopper and then stopped and posed. At that moment brown did appear a good 2 inches taller, but ground uneven.] Que says on 30/Jul/07
Hey MD excellent point, I also posted the vid on the height request page, always thought Brown was 5'11 but he looks a even 6', I've seen quite a few vids on tv of Brown walking with Blair over the last few weeks what with all the retrospectives on Blair and all and he just looks the same height, one or two times he even looked 1" taller!
He's easily taller than Bush by 2-3 inches, your photo shows that. Looks like Bush was told that Brown was shorter than Blair and therefore wouldn't need his lifts, wooops! Que says on 30/Jul/07

The serial killing chimpanzee is also short like a chimpanzee. j/k, he's prolly a 5'10.5 lift wearer. 5'11 in his prime. MD says on 29/Jul/07
British Prime Minister is nothing more than 5'11", correct? Yet more proof Bush isn't even 5'11". I mean, you can even look at the photos of him and Prince Charles to see that.

You can tell, even with the bad angle, that Brown is taller. Gonzalo says on 28/Jun/07
Bush father looks taller than 6`2, at least in his heyday. George W. Bush looks 5`11 minimum RICHARD says on 28/Jun/07
His dad is 6'2 and brother is 6'3. Why isn't he in the 6' range ??? I think the 5'11 listing is accurate Rick M. says on 18/Jun/07
I met President Bush when he was here in Springfield. I am 5.11 in shoes and he was about the same heigth as me. Mr. R says on 14/Jun/07
Rob, I too just saw the doc "Journey With George", and he did pasue as he said "about 5-11". In the scene, Pelosi has her absentee ballot, and asks W why she should vote for him. She asks: "What are you gonna do for the little guy"? His answer: I am the little guy. I'm about...5-11. Have you noticed that Jeb is 6-3"? That word about indicates that he may not quite be 5-11. Philip says on 12/Jun/07
Yes, Bush is about the same height as our president, 182+ cm. Bulgarian says on 11/Jun/07
Bush is in my country Bulgaria and he was standing straight next to our president(185 cm) and prime minister(178 cm). So I garantee you that Bush is in the range 182-183 cm. dmeyer says on 28/May/07
if he got mesured 5'11.5 wath dont you give him or maybe he got mesure in the morning i do get mesure 182 at the doctor in the morning so 5'11 might be is minimum height if he got mesured early aftrnoon ypou should give him 181 cm MD says on 24/May/07
Which media, rollablunt? Because, because of the annual presidential health check-ups, I don't think Bush has ever been given anything over 6'0" Anonymous says on 22/May/07
Bush is 5'8 to 5'9 barefoot and does wear lifts. Prince Charles is 5'9 (Diana was 5'10)Bush does look short on TV. No way near 5'11 rollabluntallitaftermath says on 12/May/07
Aww, the media gives him 6'1. Tony G says on 9/May/07
I've read that Dick Cheney is 5'8". Sounds about right. Paddington says on 6/May/07
How tall is Dick Cheney? He's officially listed at 5'10", but this sounds like an extreme crock. I'm guessing 5'7". dmeyer says on 28/Apr/07
george might be might height 5'11.75 morning and 5'11 night Viper says on 24/Apr/07
I was measured by the doctor when I had a mandatory checkup before I went to college. It was part of the physical. Vibram says on 24/Apr/07
He is a legit 5'10.5"(178.5), but no way 5'9", so maybe the 5'11" claimed was correct for when in his 20's and 30's. Certainly not a "little guy" like he claims; maybe he feels small 'cause his dad and recent former Presidents were giant? Compare him to Tony Blair here Click Here - there is around 1.5 inch difference (photo from May 2006).
Check out Tony Blair's page on this site....he's a certain 6ft dead! dmeyer says on 22/Apr/07
are you sayng he could be 182 or atleast was 182cm glenn says on 22/Apr/07
i was measured on occasion at the hospital.no bone loss here. MD says on 22/Apr/07
Where are you a medical student? Paddington says on 21/Apr/07
I'm a third year medical student. In my past year of clinical rotations, I have never seen an adult's height be measured, whether it's in the hospital or in a doctor's office. I think the only reason it would be done is if one complained about height loss due to osteoperosis. When you see someone's height written on a medical report, it's self-reported. MD says on 18/Apr/07
I'm not sure what's so funny. It's been a joke every time. You can keep an incorrect quote up if you'd like, but I'll correct anyone that tries to quote it. MD says on 17/Apr/07
Rob, you may want to add that to the quote. There is no use in having an incorrectly worded quote.
[Editor Rob: I quoted it from the cnn transcript with no about, or one transcript. But, this does not change the 2 medicals he's had, those speak no abouts, but merely the morning truth ;)] Anonymous says on 17/Apr/07
Prince Charles was 5-9.5 peak height, now he is 5-9. MD says on 15/Apr/07
Hey, Rob. I was just watching "Journeys with George" by Alexandra Pelosi, which you quote, in bold, at the top of the page. You did get something wrong with the quote, though. The exact line was:
"Have you noticed (or something to that extent) that I'm ABOUT 5'11", my brother is 6'3"..."
Just a correction.
[Editor Rob: yeah, he doesn't want to say 5ft 11 and 3/4, so he used about ;) He has no ego, 100% honesty from this guy!] Tactition says on 11/Apr/07
I seriously am laughing at all of you. Yes, this site is fun to kill some time here and there, but when you argue about someone being 5-9 to 5-10.5 and up to 5-11 for a week straight, it's like WOW - are you kidding me? This site is here to make money and nothing else. NOT because Glenn or Rob live to keep all of us informed ok. George W. Bush is 5-9 to 5-10 MAX - big deal...What do you think he would be more macho at 5-11? Seriously, lets keep it real people. He is 5-9 - 5-10, hell if it makes him feel better about himself as a person give him 5-11 - WHO CARES! The richest man in the world is 5-9ish, height doesn't mean Jack and I think it's time you people stop being brainwashed by the media into thinking what's important and what is not. TheJerk says on 5/Apr/07
Ha Rob! Makes a fellow wonder... Anyway, I found the article. It is entitled "Is the president shrinking?" I just now realized that it is a politically oriented type website, however. Looks to be on the left of center. The information may still be real, who knows? If you want to read about it and more spinal variations throughout the day that most of us know about it's Click Here
[Editor Rob: it was reported on many news sites, he had a 4 hour 'examination' weight 191.6, height 5ft 11.5, all in the 4-page report.
100% government truth...] TheJerk says on 5/Apr/07
Rob, I am not sure that it has been posted on this page, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been. I remember reading an article a couple months ago that stated for Bush's annual checkup he measued a 1/4 inch shorter this recent time. He must be given a current height 5-10 3/4 and a peak height of 5-11. :P Seriously though I'll try to find the article - it was an online one.
Same way Clinton became 6ft 2.5, maybe Bush got the benefit of out of bed measurement...surely your government doesn't lie about such a trivial thing as the President's height. I mean if they lie about something like that...what else they feeding the american folk!!!] MD says on 30/Mar/07
Viper, he was actually 'measured' at 6'0" and then later at something like 5'11.5", I think. But, it's quite obvious the doctors were boosting him. They even said barefoot, but if that were the case, Bush would routinely look 6'1" or over, and he never does. MD says on 30/Mar/07
LOL! @ Rob
No, he's not a full 5'11". Viper says on 29/Mar/07
Wasnt he measured at 5-11? Maybe that was with shoes? Vince says on 28/Mar/07
5-11 seems too high. I agree with what many have posted that he is 5-10. Editor Rob says on 28/Mar/07
Are you implying the government have blatantly lied to the honest hardworking american people about Bush being 5ft 11.5! Hey, I've been in enough trouble with authority in my 20's, in my 30's I'm strictly towing the party line, so Bush stays tall at 5ft 11. Anonymous says on 25/Mar/07
Editor Rob, take another look at this one. Chris says on 25/Mar/07
George W Bush never looks tall in a group of guys which makes him average....5'9 - 5'10 Paddington says on 25/Mar/07
There's an element of randomness in genetics (assortment), which is why people's siblings aren't exactly like they are. There's also regression towards the mean. I don't think there is anything weird about GWB's father and brother being a few inches taller than he is, and no real reason to suspect his growth was "stunted". My guess is GWB is between 5'10" and 5'11". Guest says on 24/Mar/07
Hi, my dad and mom took their pictures with George W Bush at a Republican convention in about 1999 or 2000. He is the exact height and proportion as my dad who is exactly 5'10". MD says on 14/Mar/07
Actually, he never strikes me as short with a lot of other world leaders. He strikes me as average when standing amongst a lot of European leaders, and can even look tall with leaders from many of the country's here in the Americas.
All that said, he just appears about average to me (5'10"), and those photos with Prince Charles pretty much show that. Those are some good pictures. Guy says on 14/Mar/07
I saw a life size cut out of him in the mall. Looked about 5 9ish, no more than that. He refers to himself as the "little guy" of the family, so yeah..I think 5 9 or 5 9 and some change is accurate. He probably can look about 5 11 in shoes though Ed says on 14/Mar/07
MD, good point, he is the weakest 5ft11 I've seen as well. The man in shoes or lifts would be 6ft0.5-6ft1,and yet he always seems to look short. Is every bureaucrat in Washington 6ft and over,lol? If you watched the State of the Union, I always found it interesting when he came out, and made his way to the podium shaking hands as he went how little he looked. Now in a sea of people 5ft11 is not going to stand out in a big way like a 6ft3 guy, but still he looked short and stocky. The same goes for pics of him w/other diplomats he always looks the shortest. I wonder why he refers to himself as a little guy, maybe he does have a complex because of his tall family? MD says on 13/Mar/07
Look at the photos of him and Prince Charles. It's obvious (probably like most modern presidents) that he wears lifts, at times. But, if he is a real 5'11" it's the weakest 5'11" I've ever seen. trueheight says on 13/Mar/07
He looks 5'11 compared to Gates the new DefSec, who is 5'7. I have several friends who shook his[Gates'] hand at the TAMU commencement ceremonies in 2004 when they graduated, all with pictures too. Kevin says on 8/Mar/07
5'11 ? no way, look at his pic next to Arnold (6') it is more than 2 inches difference, I'd say 3', Mr Bush is 5'9 Click Here MD says on 4/Mar/07
Nope. Every president gets a boost in height, just like any celebrity, would. At least it's not an incredibly ridiculous boost, but an obvious boost, nonetheless.
Editor Rob, check on this one, again. G-unit says on 3/Mar/07
Didn't bush himself say that he's just under 6'? haha...
He's more like 5'10. Chuckycheese says on 26/Feb/07
I'd bet quite a lot of money he's not 5'11". Besides 'Little Don' Rumsfield, which men have you ever seen him stand next to that are shorter? (I'm sure there are a few....but not many.) Spence says on 20/Feb/07
He is not 6'0 he is almost 6' with shoes on. Just like they said Clinton was 6'2 1/2 when in reality hes probaly 6'1 1/2 or just under 6'2. He is probaly 5'10-1/2 w out shoes on. I think hes about 179. Gonzalo says on 14/Feb/07
He looks taller than 5`11 in my opinion. There must be something in his shoes. He looked as tall as stupid president Zapatero who is a legit 1`84. And he didn´t look three inches shorter than Clinton. He looks 6 feet to me Antron says on 9/Feb/07
That picture with all the men in the Oval office arranged by height is funny, and yes i think Bush is wearing some big shoes in it...Although this administration does or has employed some shorter men (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Libby all no more than 5'8" I believe) Garry says on 9/Feb/07
He appeared significantly shorter than Kerry during their debates, I vote for about 5'10" and maybe a little change but no more. kevin t says on 6/Feb/07
Jack says: "5'9 is not short and neither is 5'11."
That's true in the US where average census height is 5' 10" and that is purely anecdotal. And the average height in the US is not going up, although the weights are going through the roof. (Rob, when are you going to start "Celebweights.com"?) THAT would be a fun one!... kevin t says on 6/Feb/07
I don't doubt the Dubya at Tussaud's is the wrong size. Madame Tussaud's makes people the size their publicists wantthem to be--if you want to see a 5'11" Paul Newman or a six foot Sly Stallone for the first time in your life, visit Tussaud's in Las Vegas..! Jesse says on 2/Feb/07
on the news about a year ago they had a story about W's health. He had just gotten a physical, and they reported that he measured just a shade under 6' and i think they said he weighed something like 180. so 5'11 should be pretty accurate. MD says on 18/Jan/07
Then, forget the O'Reilly photo. Explain the photos I posted of him with Prince Charles. hereandnow says on 17/Jan/07
That O'Reilly photo is a bad photoshop job. Look to the right of the pointer. You can see a line where the photo was cut and Bush's section was shifted down. Looks like someone from CBS still hasn't found work. |
