He's probably just an honest 5'10" guy. If he didn't claim his height in centimeters, maybe I'd think he could be taller like 5'10.5" and rounding down slightly, but I'd say he probably knows his own height.

many, many years ago when Mr Pearce was a star on Neighbours, he made a promontial visit to Bundaberg. I was a security guard. At that time i was 5'8". I had to herd away a few fans. Mr Pearce was no more than 1 inch taller than myself. I had on normal shoes, and so did he, so there was only only the inch difference. Aaron says on 4/Feb/10
He looked pretty tall in Memento. Pearce has a great build: thin and ripped. It tends to make just about anyone look taller. Scottfriend says on 30/Nov/09
my guess is 5-9 and around an athletic 155 guyfrommars says on 16/Aug/09
Played 5ft2 Houdini in a movie. Lenad says on 3/Apr/09
Looks 178cm maybe 179 Comets says on 25/Feb/09
here he is with Lucy Lawless who is 5'10 ( Click Here ) and Lucy is bending a bit so we can safely assume Guy is 5'10 Tim says on 14/Feb/09
LA confidentual is a weird one to judge. the actors in that movie have such a varied height range. kevin spacey to me is impossible to pick i'd say anywhere from 5'9 to 6'0. and at the start kevin spacey seemed taller though they never stood together on screen but when spacey spoke to him from behind the desk he seemed a tiny bit taller though pearce could have been on lower ground. but when the actually stand next to each other when they are teaming up i reckon pearce had 1.5 inches on him. maybe 5''10 for space and 5'11.5 for pearce. pearce is quite muscular in reality, i saw him on spicks and specks and i imagined he'd be about 6'2 just because of his lean and athletic posture. though.
funny though the first movie i saw him in was the count from monte cristo and he was so short next to caviesal. i think caviesal must have 3 inches on him. Leung says on 10/Feb/09
Pearce is tricky, sometimes he looks 510 and other times he looks a legit 511. I think he is most likely 510 plus change. bam says on 9/Feb/09
im confused hows he so tall near 5'9 pantoliano. This was the height difference I saw throughout the film.

Great actor. Confusing height. He looked pretty tall in memento but short as hell in LA confidential. Vibram says on 23/Oct/08
Type "guy pearce, hanson" into gettyimages and you see him in 1.25" sandals next to director Curtis Hanson, who's listed 6ft1. He is dominated by about 4", though Hanson is in boots. He also get's dominated by Nick Cave on gettyimages (again search "pearce, nick cave") and you can see there's about 4.5 inches between them.
I'd say 5ft9.75/177cm is more accurate. Leung says on 12/Oct/08
I saw some recent movie premiere photos where Pearce towers over Don Cheadle by at least 3 inches. Pearce is a bit of an enigma and can appear anywhere between 510-511.5. My guess is that he is 510.5. roxanne says on 30/Aug/08
I saw him in London a couple of years ago and he was a lot shorter than 5'10" - at the time I was shocked by how wee he was! I reckon he was between 5'6" and 5'8" max.
Remember in film they have lots of devices to make people taller than they really are. He is small but in proportion so will look taller on screen. D says on 26/Jul/08
Jesus, I was just watching Memento and I could have sworn he was 5'11". Edd says on 18/Jun/08
This doesnt seem right...just saw a clip from a film where he was eye to eye with over 6 foot William Fichtner... Adam Brennon says on 1/Mar/08
Consistant and legit 5' 10". Doesn't undulate or ignite controversy the way some guys do: Kurt Russel, Kevin Spacey and Will Smith to name a few. krissy says on 15/Dec/07
he's actually 5'12" according to Guy Pearce Fan.net he's pretty tall. Leung says on 22/Nov/07
I agree with Ayman. Pearce looks anywhere between 5'10"-5'11", so 5'10.5" would be logical. Evanna says on 20/Nov/07
Excellent point Rob! A couple of weeks ago I watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert for the first time, and his acting sucked big time (especially compared to Hugo Weaving/Terence Stamp antics).
What puzzles me about LA Confidential though are Pearce's scenes with Kevin Spacey (when they team up to follow Bud White i.e. Crowe), because Pearce looks some 2" taller than Spacey. I've seen the film at least a million times, and I'm pretty sure about that. Really weird.
[Editor Rob: is that an admission of once watching neighbours ;)
I actually saw an ep recently from back in his era where he had scenes with jason donovan. Now donovan was on that children in need the other night and he looked shorter beside wogan than even ronan keating, so I think 178cm is accurate for pearce...] AshnarLynx says on 30/Oct/07
I also believe he is 180/5'11. He looked more than an inch taller than Joe Pantoliano in Memento and Pantoliano is about 5'9. Leung says on 23/Oct/07
Guy Pearce is no less than 510.
Jens comment about him looking 59 in First Snow is bull. Pearce looked the same height as William Fichtner (6ft 0.25in), and he was taller than both J.K. Simmons (5ft 10in) and Adam Scott (5ft 10in). Height Detective says on 18/Oct/07
Hey Rob,I think I was right
Click Here
In this article he says himself he is "1.78 and 73kg" ,after he took bodybuilding sessions.(check the last paragraphs)
What do you think ?
[Editor Rob: 1989 article!, wow, those were the days. Neighbours back then was pulling in like 16 million viewers a day in the UK alone, a huge soap back then...
many thanks for finding that quote, it's a lockin this thread now!] Height Detective says on 18/Oct/07
I saw a picture a while ago that left me wondering , so i put it here for you to evaluate , is from the movie "Woundings" with Johnaton Schaech and Guy Pearce , look at this photo
Click Here
He and Johnathon are next to each other and wearing the same suits , so I believe the same shoes ,and Schaech looks taller than him , and Schaech is listed everywere at 5.11
Here is another capture

Its worse than the first one , but it helps on what im trying to show . Jen says on 17/Mar/07
Just saw 'First Snow' last night & in his scenes with Wm Fichtner, they has him standing on curbs to appear eye to eye or sitting. Fichtner is 6'0, so he is 5'9" at the absolute tallest. Equisdobley says on 13/Feb/07
I strongly believe that he is a solid 5΄11" ... jason says on 13/Jan/07
he does lock shorter, from 5-9 to 5-10. i `de say he is 177-179 cm, not more.
in "the count of monte christo" from 2002 he plays with almost 6-2 Jim Caviezel,he locks much shorter, and he does lock 5-9 to 5-10 in the movie ,i would say he is 178 cm. Anonymous says on 6/Dec/06
No way. Re-watch Memento for Guy's scenes with 6'2 Stephen Tobolowsky, who literally towers over Pierce. That's more than a 3 inch difference. I'd say around 5'9 is more accurate. 0kuma says on 1/Jun/06
wtf ForensicNYC is that picture from KW says on 30/May/06
Rachel Griffiths is 5' 8 1/2. In "The Hard Word" Guy Pearce appears to be about 2 inches taller than her when she's wearing heels. Frank2 says on 16/Mar/06
I'd say he's about 5'10". He and Russell Crowe were about the same height and neither were wearing what looked like lifts in LA Confidential. Also Kevin Spacey was close to the samne height and I've seen him in person and he's roughly 5'10". Steve says on 21/Feb/06
I walked by him in NYC. No way he's 5'11". He was no taller than me and I'm 5'9". Kala says on 10/Nov/05
No way is he five-eleven; that would make him a near six-footer!!! At least cut him down to 5"10 - it's clear if you watch Memento he's not more than an inch taller than Joe P. bernar says on 27/Oct/05
he looks at least 5 cm higher than Pantoliano in Memento. Pantoliano is listed 5ft9inch on this site. Tubbs says on 19/Oct/05
Pearce is shorter than Stefan Dennis, I saw a clip from neighbours yesterday, Stefans' about 5'9. Mr Luis says on 21/Jun/05
Russel Crowe had lifts in LA Confidential because he was an inch taller than Spacey and almost two inches taller than Guy Pearce.
I Think that Guy Pearce is 5'10", maybe 5.9 1/2", but not much shorter. ADG says on 21/Jun/05
5'11"??? No way. Watch "LA Confidential" or "The Count of Monte Cristo", and compare him to Russell Crowe and Jim Caveziel. If he's 5'9", I'd be surprised.
[Editor Rob: yes, the more see of this guy the more he doesn't look it...] Chris says on 24/Apr/05
When I saw the movie, two brothers, he looked shorter to me, like 5.9, maybe 5.10. I΄m not sure but I think he΄s under 180 cm.
[Editor Rob: I saw an old scene from Neighbours and you know...Guy Pearce really could be shorter, he really didn't look if anything, taller than Stefan Dennis who isn't that big a guy] |
