Very interesting. Depardieu still passed for 5’10” range in the recent Maigret film, but barely looked 5’9” in those photos where Delon seemed taller.

With 5ft 10 listed Alain Delon in 2008: Click Here
Delon was at most 5ft 9.5 at the time, and they're both wearing similarly thick sandals. Posture is similar, but Depardieu slighty closer to the camera. At most, Depardieu looks 5ft 9.5 here.
Again in 2008: Click Here
Footwear appears to be similar, but the angle is in Delon's favor. Still, I have a difficult time arguing for more than 5ft 9.25 for Depardieu here.
Given that these shots are 15 years old, it's safe to say that Depardieu lost additional height since then. Hence, I'm inclined to believe that he must be below 5ft 9 these days.

this guy and nick nolte have that 100 procent alpha face. This guy can look like a big guy for some reason at peak. at worst 179 flat and at best 181. if he really only is 176,5 today then he may have been closer to 179.

Gerard Depardieu has never been to a gym in his life, which to me is a point in his favour. He eats what he wants, until recently drank as much as he wanted, and smoked. Long life and health to him, I say. They should put him on the cover of Men's Health as a rebuke to the sort of people who read Men's Health. He is never going to annoy us like Mick Jagger, who insists on being a good example.

I walked past him on the street in Paris yesterday(he wasn't wearing a mask). Anyhow, he didn't look over 5'9 flat to me. I'm somewhere between 5'6 and 1m68 at nighttime for the record. I was on the lower part of the sidewalk but felt my eyes would at least clear his mouth if we were level with one another.

I'm surprised this guy didn't make it to President of France. The way the world is going you'd expect it! He was one of those rare actors where you enjoy every film he was in, there's so many gems from the 70s and 80s made in France that most people have never heard of.

Hey Rob! There aren't many French actors on your website. What about height from the actor who played Asterix with Depardieu first? Here are some photos of Christian Clavier with Gerard Depardieu and Laetitia Casta from 1998: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Clavier was 46 then and Depardieu 49 so they both couldn't lost any height yet. Then Laetitia Casta was already 20 years old so she probably reached her full height by then. I found two more pictures of Clavier alongside Jean Reno from 2001: Click Here Click Here
Clavier was 49 at the time and Reno 53, so they both probably hadn't lost anything yet. Christian Clavier is listed on the internet as 5ft 6. Rob, would you say he could look around that mark in his 40's?

I think Depardieu rarely seemed four full inches taller than Daniel Auteuil in their films together, particularly in 36th Precinct. I consider 5’10.75” to be a fine peak listing for Depardieu.

Depardieu is a lot like Oliver Reed and Marlon Brando, in that they were born with excellent physical gifts which they then squandered by eating themselves into obesity. Plus Reed and Depardieu where enthusiastic alcoholics. I have a theory that extremely strong people don't age well, because the resilient strength of their youth leads them to develop a reckless disregard for moderation that eventually ruins their health.

Always a fan of Gérard. Is.this an example of bad posture. If he's gone from nearly 5"11 to only 5"9.5 that's quite a bit.

He's a guy you could probably describe as "grotesquely handsome". Ugly guy, but you can see in a lot of his earlier films that he has a lot of charisma and free spirited and that sort of animalism that some women would like. Quite like Jack Nicholson in his charisma around women. If you watch him in Unhook the Stars he looked like he was really undressing Gena Rowlands with his eyes, bit creepy, and I doubt that was just him acting, however good he is! Can look a bit shorter at times but posture never great.

Editor Rob women love a bit of a rugged man like Depardieu, a guy who will take no BS...although in the last 10 years he has become a physically pale imitation of the man he was in his 20's and 30's.

Delon can actually look tallish though in Rocco and his Brothers next to a lot of the little Italian actors. He can look near 5'11 in shoes, so barefoot maybe your suggested 5' 9¾" (177cm) would be accurate, it's also listed at that on the database, perhaps it's official. I have a hard job believing he was over 5'10" though as I say, but he did look nearer 5'10" than 5'9" next to Lancaster.

Mr Stanton, I enjoy reading your commments. Regarding Alain Delon in Purple Noon, is actually one of the few movies where he looks the shortest in my opinion. However, in Le Samourai directed by Meville he looks the tallest. When I was kid in Cuba in the late 70's I grew up watching his movies as well as Errol Flynn, I think Castro like Flynn because he was a supported of the cuban revolution during the beginning. He didnt see what was coming.

A young Depardieu actually looks a lot like Sam Dingle off Emmerdale!! He was never a "handsome" guy, but he was certainly fairly decent looking as a young guy and at least you could see why he attracted so many women. Today he's something of a caricature! I think 179cm would be spot on for peak.

He looks 1-2 inches taller than De Niro and about 5 inches shorter than Donald Sutherland in Novocento (1900). 5'10" range seems OK.
5'9.5" for Delon is OK but I doubt he was taller. Delon was sort of comparable as a young man to Zac Efron in terms of looks and a good looking guy but I wouldn't consider him "male perfection" or as good looking at you say ex. man.

I only know of him as I'm a film buff and have seen some of his films, I've never heard his name mentioned on TV or in magazines here! I'd guess he'd only be vaguely familiar to Rob. He is a huge personality in France and Italy though.

Rob, I think as is said below Alain Delon is definitely of similar status on the continent and should probably be listed here. You might remember him from Lost Command opposite Quinn, but he worked with some of the greatest directors Europe ever produced and some of his films like Purple Noon are considered masterpieces by the critics today. He was one of France's/Europe's biggest movie actors back in the 60s and 70s and had like a Brad Pitt-like status among women on the continent. I doubt he was a low as 5 ft 8, but thinking how he looked next to Lancaster and Cardinale in The Leopard I think 175-6cm would be a good shout. Can you add him some time in the New Year perhaps?

Seems correct to me, he was near 5ft10.5 5ft11 in his heydays, then packed a lot of bad weight, mostly flab, I'll way over a hundred pounds. That combined with aging and some minor motorbike crash made him go below 5ft9 nowadays.
BTW He always had a bad posture, I saw him when I was 12, in 1983, on a set with Yves Montand who was supposed to be 6ft2 and he looked at least 4 or 5 inches shorter than him cause his neck going forward made him look 5ft9.

Rob, you say 177 but that would make the guy on the right would be around 190 and i assured you that he was owned by 6'2.5 guy in an italian show! he looked max 184-185 next to him! in this picture he doesnt look average (177) but he looks shortish!

Editor Rob he's also got poor posture, if I stood in Gerard's position beside the 176cm guy I might look several cm shorter.

Rob, just tell me something:

here you have gerard and two italian presenters! how the hell he looks so short? i mean the guy on the left is 176 and the guy on the right is 185-186! They claimed it... it seems that all italian celebs downgrade their heights according to this site because they appear taller than their claiming next to listed heights of this site... Say something rob!

Editor Rob the guy on the left is gaining several inches with the position/angle, but as I say he looks to have lost height, today looking at him again he maybe was a 180cm man who has fallen towards 177.

I met him after a theater performance five years ago and I actually took a picture of us. He definitely had at least 1 in on me and I'm 5ft 8.5in. He's got a burly build but he slouches so 5ft 10in is very possible.

Gerard is a big man in terms of body mass. His stocky frame can be misleading in terms of height. I think he is 5'10".

I met him in Italy some five years ago. It was backsatge after a theater performance where he was acting as a recitalist. Im 5ft8.5in and he was at least an inch taller than me. We had similar street footwear. He may look shorter because he is stocky and slouches, but he's a big, bulky man. So 5ft9.5in to 5ft10 is correct.

Also, 1492 is one of my favorite films, despite how unpopular it is, but while watching it, you can see Gerard doesn't measure up to Sigourney Weaver, in fact he appears about a half to full inch shorter than her, which would put him around at the 5'10.75" mark.

I disagree with Rut. I'm a strong 182cm and he doesn't seem it to me. He's my favorite European actor and he looks every bit of 5'10.75" (180cm). Now days, nearing 60 year of age, it's hard to tell, but he is probably closer to 5'10" now days.
So, my estimate would be 5'10.75" for most of his life and 5'10.25" or 5'10" flat now days.

Raj, if you read this: in which movie did he say I'm 177 cm or does anybody know that movie..? personally I think in his heyday (and I read this from a book) he was 182 cm, also I think besides the later 177 cm claim he never personally stated his height.

i met Gerald in Atlantic City, NJ while he was filming 'Bogus' with Whoopi Goldberg (who i also met). i am fairly tall for a female, 6'0 (6'1 with shoes). when i spoke with him, i was practically eye level. his height, at the time (1995 or 96) was about 5 foot 11 inches to 6 foot. so unless some serious osteoporosis has set in within the last 9 years, he is still close to that height.
