I see about an inch between connery and Ford: Click Here
Again, only an inch: Click Here anonymous says on 27/Jun/08
"connery was a clear 5 to 6 cm taller so more 5 ft 11.75 for ford"
Find me one picture dmeyer where connery is 5-6 centimeters taller than ford. I have seen the film several times, and there is only about an inch difference.

Man oh Man, does he have an interesting slouch or what? Look how tilted Harrison is. He start bend from the middle part of his back. Imagine how much height a posture like that takes off. He's bending down like an old man, I wouldn't be surprised if his head touched the floor. No wonder he sometimes looks the same height as 5'10" guys like Shia...he can adjust to as much 5 inches down, it's called leaning. If Harrison's head wasn't tilted down his eyebrows would be on level with glenn's top of head. I'm 5'10" and measured my height from eyebrow up is 4 inches plus alittle. 4 inches plus Glenn's height makes 184cms...and that's at this age, In his prime Mr.Ford was a legit 6'1"er. glenn says on 20/Jun/08
not sure.i guess he did look 6ft in several movies.that being one of them. glenn says on 19/Jun/08
your right james,he did look tallish in that. glenn says on 18/Jun/08
thanks james.i appreciate your presence on the site. glenn says on 18/Jun/08
thanks acg for that well thought out post.remember,stallone and colin farrell must both be 5-8,5-9 cause people choose to ignore my pics.they do that with alot of my pics here.and i think you left out a big part,though you were brilliant in your execution,i do this all for free.the site wouldnt be fun with just d-list actors and wrestlers.though grown men here have a fetish for wrestlers and extremely tall men.i applaud the pics anyway as we need them.nobody beats my a-list,diversity,or my years though. ACG says on 8/Jun/08
Hey guys- I've found a new way of figuring out the REAL height of celebs!! It's really simple; all ya gotta do is go to the top of your browser window and click "Edit" then "Find on this page" and when the entry box comes up, type "glenn"(without parenthesis). Now keep clicking the "find" button until you come across the word "glenn" and it has number in the post such as 6-1 6-2 or 5-8. Whichever of those numbers glenn attributes to the celeb in question is the real height!! And here's a hint: Whenever someone says hey I saw so-and-so look extremely short/tall in an elevator/hotel lobby/restroom and glenn disagrees, there's an almost 100% chance that the original poster is FOS!!
This aforementioned method of height determination is proven to be the most accurate amongst web-surfers, even more so than the so-called "official" height listed by Rob! Why? Well, glenn has actually chilled with 99.98% of the celebs he comments on, as in "saw multiple times over long periods with his very own eyes". Though Rob is usually accurate, there are few that fall under the "non-precise guesstimation" category, which glenn will correct when he posts. Remember, folks, just because there's a height listed at the top of the page, it doesn't make it the be-all-and-end-all of answers. The closest you'll get(and I'm mean pretty damn close) to perfect spot-on estimations is actually reading the guy who "made" this website. "Made" as in made it was it is, not the html coder/webmaster(a la Rob). So yeah, if glenn decided to take off and leave one day(which of course he has every right to do) this site would be absolutely nothing and would most likely die within a week. He is the only solid source of info by a long shot. It's like having our own private insider who responds to your personal questions- a pretty fukinig good deal if you ask me.... So instead of biting the hand that feeds you, why don't we all actually take glenn a tad more seriously, no? Before claiming you know a height and insisting glenn is clueless about it, please stop and realize that there's no point. Glenn gives us pictures, info and first hand descriptions yet all he asks for is our respect. How hard is that??
Sorry for the long speech, but I felt like that had to be said. Too many irreverent posters if you ask me....
And for the record, I believe Ford was an easy 6'1 peak and still nothing under 6' today.
Good night. Viper says on 8/Jun/08
Clooney looking 6-1-6-2 blows my mind. glenn says on 6/Jun/08
james,im aware of that,but people say clooney has height reduction injuries too,and i saw him at 6-1,6-2 at an event last month.obviously had some kind of footwear advantage. glenn says on 3/Jun/08
ed-its cool,its in the past.i appreciate your words.im sorry for being harsh.i never noticed he can look 5-11ish,6ft until i came to the site.so i was blind to the short sightings.the opposite of you.lol.its true,he can look shorter or has lost height.but 6-1 peak. Ed(1) says on 2/Jun/08
I'm with you James! I don't know why I couldn't see Ford as a strong 6ft0.75- 6ft1 for all that time! I'm sure it had to do with my sister seeing him, and telling me how she saw him look. My apologies once again Glenn for being such a schmuck!! LOL
The more I look at old pics and movies it's pretty clear he was 6ft1 in his hey day! Now a days, or I should say in the last 5 years, he's been looking shorter and shorter, which would make sense with his 5ft11.75 listing. It could possibly be even less, with his poor posture adding to the effect.
In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he looks 6ft at times, and then like a 5ft10-5ft11 guy at others. It's weird how much his height now fluctuates. Back in the 1970's-mid 90's he was always consistently looking tall, now not so much! Ed(1) says on 2/Jun/08
James, I think your estimates are pretty close. Sadly there's no pic with Ford and my sister. I still give her a hard time about that, and not getting me an autograph. She said he seemed very serious, intense, and not very approachable, which is probably why the pic and signing were skipped. This was the early 90's, so it tracks with what Glenn said about Ford's disposition back then. It looks like as of recently though he's lightened up a bit!
Hugh, I agree with your estimates for Glover and Connery, but I don't know about Ford being 6ft1.25 though. 6ft0.75-6ft1 yes, but not taller, especially in Crusade. After seeing Kingdom of the Crysatl Skull it's apparent how heights can be manipulated in film, but still there's definitely a good 1.5 inches difference between Connery and Ford, and even more with Glover in Last Crusade. Camera angles, the positioning of actors in scenes, and footwear I'm sure all add to these effects. Still, upon closer inspection of the new movie, if you look you can see Shia LaBeouf's, Ray winstone's, and Cate Blanchett's heights all change throughout the film. In some scenes LaBeouf looks 2 inches shorter then Ford, then the same height, and even taller in one segment!? Go figure! Halb says on 2/Jun/08
When Crusade was on the beeb a few weeks ago Glover had height on Connery in the last scene, who himself had a small bit of height on Ford. Hugh says on 1/Jun/08
Julian Glover 6ft2.
Sean Connery 6ft2.25.
Harrison Ford 6ft1.25. Ed(1) says on 30/May/08
James, I agree! Ed(1) says on 30/May/08
James, that sounds about right! 6ft1 for Ford, and 6ft2-2.5 for Connery back in 1989. Ed(1) says on 30/May/08
"Connery was given an inch more in height."
Eddie, are you saying they wanted to play up Connery's height in Last Crusade, or Connery is an inch taller? Because if anything they'd want to do what they did in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, by taking a much shorter co-star(LaBeouf) and make him look as tall as Ford. I honestly think Connery is legitimately taller then Ford by a good 1-1.5 inches. As for their shoes, Connery wore normal heeled period dress shoes to Ford's boots, which upon closer inspection are struggling for an inch heel.
Click Here glenn says on 30/May/08
eddie-good movie.i liked it.the alien plot wasnt alien to me at all,and alot the movie is based on facts.and or myths.so its wasnt far fetched at all.i dont know who the neil fynn guy is in the movie.i never heard of him until now. glenn says on 30/May/08
dmeyers split personality is back. Margherita says on 30/May/08
He was the same height at Jay Leno on the Leno Show. Eddie says on 30/May/08
Oh Glenn...did you see the new Indy movie about Neil Flynn's appearance next to Harrisons? Good movie eh! The alien thing was a little farfetch'd but oh well. lol. Eddie says on 30/May/08
In real life Ford and Connery were the same height. In Last Crusade, their appearance was altered a bit because of their shoes. Connery was given an inch more in height. Also given that he had great posture and Ford didn't. Ed(1) says on 29/May/08
I don't know James, or maybe he was 6ft1 and Connery was 6ft2-2.5. Connery looks to be 1.5 inches taller most of the time in the film, and then 1 inch at other times. Ford's posture could play a big part of this mystery as well, not to mention after seeing the new Indy film, I realized how bad movies can distort things.
Click Here dmeyer says on 29/May/08
connery was a clear 5 to 6 cm taller so more 5 ft 11.75 for ford Ed(1) says on 29/May/08
Connery in Last Crusade looks to have a good 1.5 inches on Ford for the majority of the film! My guess is Connery has great posture, is thicker built so he appears even bigger then Ford(like James said), and was standing next to a guy who is known to slouch! I also now wouldn't rule out Connery being 6ft2 or a little over in LC, even at 59. He might be about 6ft1.5 or so now, but back then he always looked tall!
One more thing regarding Ford's current physical condition, in the new Indy film you can see how much Ford's head and neck have lowered in relation to his shoulders. I can only guess the cartilage in his neck vertebrae has diminished as well, so his head looks more compacted on top of his body. Back even 10 years ago he was more elongated all over, but now he seems to be compressing and looking squatter. His body posture, pitch, and proportions(limbs etc.) all look out of whack, which clearly points to his physical injuries over the years, as well as shrinkage with age. glenn says on 29/May/08
i never understood the whole connery/ford height thing.since i hadnt seen the movie in a long time,i wasnt too sure. Lenad says on 29/May/08
What when people say Connery was much taller? Well, only slightly I thought. Eddie says on 28/May/08
Yeah, They're practically the same height. Lenad says on 27/May/08
Actually he looked only slightly shorter than Sean Connery in The Last Crusade so either he was 6ft1 minimum or the James Bond tailors are getting closer to their 187cm claim for Sean Connery. glenn says on 27/May/08
thanks for letting me know eddie.ill see the film any day now i guess. Eddie says on 26/May/08
I agree. I'm pretty sure he's still close to 6ft1. I saw the new Indy movie last night and Neil Flynn, (of SCRUBS fame) who is 6ft5 was in the movie standing next to Ford. Flynn had a 4 inch advantage over Ford. Watch the movie and you'll see. Ed(1) says on 26/May/08
In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, you could see at times how jacked up Ford's back is by the way he walked! He really is pitched forward now, and slightly hunched. His posture is never that great as well, so all these factors plus shrinkage I'm sure are the reason why he can come across as 5ft11ish. He could still be 6ft if he stretched himself out and stood up as straight as can be.
My dad has the same problem at 70, the majority of the time he looks 5ft9.5-5ft10 tops, but when he stands up straight he can still hit near 5ft11. GUK says on 26/May/08
"It lists him as having a 32 inch waist and a 33 inch inseam, which would indicate he was definitely well over 6ft back then and really lean! This definitely supports Glenn's 6ft1 sighting!"
I have a 33 inch inseam and I'm 5ft 10.5 barefoot, midday height, I'm not saying that was Ford's height. glenn says on 26/May/08
that seems most likely right.but im not 100 percent he shrunk.most likely he did. Viper says on 26/May/08
One thing for sure is Ford has shrunk. Id say about an inch at least. glenn says on 25/May/08
ed-i agree with camera trickery as a possiblity. glenn says on 25/May/08
dmeyer definitely put his foot in his mouth for that one. Birnam says on 25/May/08
The pics anonymous posted are nice, in the one with Connery one thing's sure, Connery owns a vast,masive sized hands, even compared to Harrison Ford ones.
Back to the subject, Ford never has been under 6', i can belive 6'1" for him. anonymous says on 25/May/08
So Dmeyer, if ford were only 5`11 at his peak, then wouldn't that mean:
-sean connery would be about 6`0, or 6`1 at a stretch?
-Jonathan Rhys Davies was only about 5`10.5 at his prime?
-Mark Hamill was only about 5`5?
-Rutger Houer was only 5`11?
And many other actors we would suddenly have to subtract 2 inches from. Ed(1) says on 25/May/08
Yeah James, I agree it makes no sense for Ford to wear them, but with LaBeouf and Winstone it's possible. I think that and camera trickery are the culprits here! LaBeouf wore thick heeled motorcycle boots in the movie, so a lift is possible. Ford wore the same old boots from the original 3 films with what looks to have been a normal 1-1.25 max inch heel. glenn says on 25/May/08
ed-they were in new york city for a week promoting.i blew it off on purpose,though shia mightve been easy and nice to deal with.some say shia is 5-10.serious.i cant say.as for ford,he signed a bit at the events,but anywhere else,he was impossible and didnt pose for pics with anyone the whole trip.i did manage to bump into karen allen.not my first time either.she is a doll. Viper says on 24/May/08
Shia might have worn lifts as well. alien from KOTCS says on 24/May/08
he looked the same height as shia in the new movie. but in other events he has some inches on him. Maybe the footwear shia was wearing in KOTCS could have an impact. Ed(1) says on 24/May/08
Those pics with LaBeouf are hilarious, and show why no one should take movies as absolute truth. Ford has LaBeouf by a good 3 plus inches easy in those candid shots, yet in the new film they are the exact same height! Go figure!
James, Shia is 5ft9.25 listed here by Rob, but looks to be more like 5ft8.25. This would make sense if Ford is 5ft11.75 now, cause he's got at least 3 plus inches on LaBeouf in those pics.
Glenn, maybe you'll meet LaBeouf one of these days, and solve this riddle for us!! anonymous says on 23/May/08
He has a few inches on shia Click Here
Again, here he still manages a few inches Click Here
I don't see that much of a difference between him and sean connery Click Here
He only looks about 4-4.5 inches shorter than dennis haysbert Click Here anonymous says on 23/May/08
dmeyer, did you just say he was possibly 5`11 flat at his peak. That is among the most ridiculous things i have ever heard. He was at least 6`1 in star wars. glenn says on 23/May/08
he did look 6-2 in star wars.but im thinking it mightve been an illusion.dmeyer can say idiotic comments and then is considered a reputable source just for working on a occasional film set and seeing a celeb once or twice.i guess that more than some here. glenn says on 23/May/08
an illusion of 6-2 i can see.yeah,good point,movies distort visuals.in gang related with tupac and jim belushi,pac looked 5-10 next to jim who i believe is 5-11.in the behind the scenes they showed an exact scene in the movie on video,not film,and shockingly pac looked 5-8 all of a sudden.made no sense.i would hear for years how they would distort your height in films but never really believed it nor heard it discussed with reputable people. Ed(1) says on 22/May/08
I just saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night, and was shocked to see Ford looking even with Ray Winstone(5ft9.5) and Shia LaBeouf(5ft9.25, and not much taller then Cate Blanchett(5ft8.5). I don't know what kind of lifts or tricks they did to achieve this, but rarely does Ford tower over LaBeouf in the film, like he did at the various award shows a few months ago. At that time he had him by a good 3 inches, so he's most likely still pushing 6ft. This really shows how easily movies can manipulate your perception of height.
One interesting thing I found in the new The Complete Making of Indiana Jones book, is they have a wardrobe fitting snap shot with Ford's clothing measurements during American Grafitti(1973). It lists him as having a 32 inch waist and a 33 inch inseam, which would indicate he was definitely well over 6ft back then and really lean! This definitely supports Glenn's 6ft1 sighting!
James, I could see Ford as 6ft1 for sure in Star Wars and Empire Strike Back. I don't know about 6ft2 though, maybe in his boots? Viper says on 22/May/08
Yeah, I thought he looked around 6-1 in those Star Wars films at least. glenn says on 22/May/08
clay-reports this week has him signing alot.no photos.from 1995 to 1997 he was fairly approachable and would pose up a storm.before then and after then he was impossible. the shredder says on 22/May/08
Rob , speeking of Temple of Doom , how tall is the Mola Ram guy ?
[Editor Rob: I don't know shredder, would need to see it again.] glenn says on 22/May/08
more diarrhea of the mouth out of dmeyer.i just attacked poor ed for a few days,so you would think one would get the hint that i know he was 6-1 once.not dmeyer.ive seen connery look 6-3 and plenty of friends that agree. Clay says on 22/May/08
Glenn how was he as a guy? I've heard he's an *expletive deletive*. dmeyer says on 21/May/08
ford dosnt look over 181 cm maybe even 5 ft 11 flat in the peak with glenn compare a 6 ft 1 guy look at costner page
[Editor Rob: well we know he was beside the height chart in 93 he didn't look 6ft 1 of course...but on Temple of Doom he did damage his back badly, and he's lost cartilage in knees.] dmeyer says on 21/May/08
rob could you bring proof of ford ever looking 6 ft 1 near pitt in lifts he looks no more than 6 ft near conery he looks 5 ft 11.75 20 years ago glenn says on 21/May/08
ed-im sorry for reacting like a neanderthal.thats what im most guilty of.but hey,nobody is perfect.i appreciate your approach at closure and resolve now.i did feel you exaggerated as everyone else does of my dictator prowess.but thats in the past now.please forgive me for not noticing that you've supported me alot.names here can sometimes be a blur.regardless,my temper can make me look like an asshole to those that dont know better.so i kinda do myself in.ford was promoting last night,but i decided to not do it,as when he comes in,and its been 4 year or 5 years since the last known trip(he has an apartment here though),its like the president arriving.or worse actually.secret service wont let 20-30 people chase all over the city.maybe ill get him on a day off.thanks ed. glenn says on 21/May/08
exactly greg. Ed(1) says on 21/May/08
Glenn,
I understand your frustration a little better now that I've re-read some of my old posts, and can see I was just reiterating the same thing over and over. Hopefully you can understand that I've been going off my sister's claim for the last 15 years or so, when she met him, so that has always been a big reason for me disagreeing with you! Like I said, she saw Ford as my size 5ft11.25 barefoot/6ft0.25-6ft0.5 in shoes, but she could have been off by an inch or so.
You met him dozens of times, and saw him at 6ft1 for all of them, so I'll take your word for it! He sure doesn't it look it in pics or the majority of films he's made post 1970's, but in person people can give a different impression. I made a post under another celeb's height who I met, where I said I could understand your frustration when people argue with you, and they've never met that celeb!
Consider this an olive branch, and do know I've supported you and backed you over the last few years. If I aggravated you or "baited" you, my apologies!! Halb says on 21/May/08
Ford doesn't look to have poor posture in that last scene from Crusade. he is standing stil and Glover is walking around him. Greg says on 21/May/08
i was being sarcastic glenn (you probably gathered that), i just think its a bit weird and kind of amusing how ppl have contested you over a couple of cm. A-Bomb says on 21/May/08
I had some photo's of Harrison posted on this site when I saw him in person in early 2006. Not of him posing with me, but of him walking down the red carpet and signing some autographs for some kids right in front of me. I'll post them again to verify if there are doubts, but they don't show anything other than that I have seen him in the flesh. I had him pegged at 181cm - no shorter, maybe only slightly taller, but under 6ft today. However, surely now in his mid-60s and after having surgery on his back to remove some discs he's certainly lost height and considering the surgeries Id say more than the average person - so 3-4 cm lost isn't out of the question which would have had him at 184/185cm in his heyday. So Glenn may just be right on 6'1"ish based on my own observations of him today. indiebot says on 20/May/08
Always thought he´s 5ft 9 or 5ft 10, Rutger Hauer looked a lot taller in Blade Runner, thought he´s listed at the same height! glenn says on 20/May/08
controversy? there wasnt any.just someone who visits the ford page,and 2 others,for 2 1/2 years and goes over the same facts over and over again.and gets upset when i dont want to argue.josh-i was on that set.pitt was 6ft.how do you know he was 5-11? JOSH says on 20/May/08
In the futurtive fords height was stated 6ft 1 on a wanted list.
But in the devils own brad pitt is 5ft 11 and he looks the same height as ford. Greg says on 20/May/08
i never thought id see so much controversy over a celeb height!=-p glenn says on 19/May/08
several times? dozens of times.and others i know back me.he is here now as a matter of fact.might blow it off.too many people will chase.give it a rest.initially i felt somewhat bad about this fight cause people that dont know better might think im a asshole.i just got word you've been on this page for almost 3 years.so you were asking for it.now i see you as somewhat of a nut.figures.thats why this whole thing went down.whenever someone hears what they dont want to when the person is on the page for months or years,it ends up in fights.

Maybe he was 6ft1, I can't see it, but you met him several times and swear by it! I'm done debating it though.

Julian Glover is 6ft 2, but seems to be always 2 inches taller than Ford, at no point does it ever seem close to 1 inch. Denham Elliot is much closer to Fords height than Glover.

Ford can look 6ft 1 in shoes, but he can't be that tall without Jason says on 19/May/08
I've never seen Harrison Ford in person to know for sure, but I think he only looks that 6'0 1/4'' figure in Indiana Jones. But quit the flame-baiting, Ed ... you're being a wanker now. glenn says on 19/May/08
james-your my friend and i would always stick up for you.thanks for putting yourself in my shoes.and good news,rob fixed the problem you were having with your computer.i dont understand why ed would go nuts like that.it was clearly leading to an argument,and everytime i try to stop it before it escalates, it always explodes into a glenn is a bad guy that kicks people off the site and turns people off.always the same routine.people just want to feel important in some way and when i threaten that, they retaliate.then they turn it around as if im purely arrogant for no reason.i never said i wasnt arrogant.one would be too if they had to put up with this crap and have my experience. Halb says on 19/May/08
Watched Ford in Crusade at the weekend. Glover was a lot taller in the last scene. I didn't know Glover was only 6'2. Would have to watch it again now after reading comments on here to see how much taller I think he is. glenn says on 19/May/08
now i can retort and address myself more properly as i didnt have time before.ed's accusations are just like the others.every one of them.name one legit case where i had someone removed from the site for only disagreeing? one? i bet the world you cant name one.and the only one you started with was frank2 who was known to chop off 2 inches of everyone.colin farrell 5-8,stallone at 5-7,glenn 5-6.get the idea? and i always praised his history and stories,yet people were deaf to that and turned a blind eye to when he started insulting me and argued as if breathing oxygen.most sites have rules.and i shouldnt be the only one with treatment against such bottom pond dwellers.i had(hopefully) removed someone 2 weeks ago for calling james slow when james in fact has a very minor disabilty.thats atrocious behavior that i will not put up with,and rob should put his foot down more on fighting here.i go ballistic and have people removed when they start fighting with me after i give them enough hints,and or insult me first.as for class,i have it when it counts buddy.i dont know you.and vice versa.you want to challange me being on film sets with ford(and every other place imaginable in new york from 1990 to 1997),rubbing shoulders with 1000 other celebs over a 20 year period to you meeting a handful of celebs and a female judging someones height(whats next? im sexist?,when most on the site discuss womens poor gauging on height?).surely you jest.this is absurd.i gave you hints to back off,yet you kept pestering.as for laughing at the site? and so? yeah? your point? i laugh at the site at times too.so? that doesnt mean i laugh at everyone.i laugh at some.alot of dummies here and even rob and any other intelligent person here can tell you that.but alot of intelligent and fun people are here that are also willing to learn on this site,(some ive grown to love as friends)and i learned alot from this site too.mainly from rob.and im sure i helped alot of people see the truth on some celebrities.assuming and conjuring up muck from the top of your head to attack me is the one dimensional approach all of you use.none of you have an iota of originality and will never outsmart me.never.if im wrong,i always admit it.im only guilty of be a hot head.not a unfair tyrant.your all hypocritical too.cause if some of you were in my shoes,you would react the same,worse or better than me.we are all human,make mistakes and react differently.i know i make mistakes.whats the most disturbing factor in this whole debacle is that we are not fighting to the gory end over stallone being 5-8 or 5-10.i said i had no problem with ford being 5-11ish now,and that i agree he can look barely 6ft in some movies.so whats the bleedin problem? its you ed.you wont accept that ford was 6-1 at one time in his life and looked it in star wars and apocalypes now at least.and not to mention in front of me countless times.not my girlfriend saw him once and so on.i have a 6-1.5 friend that i myself swear is 5-11.5 now at the age of 33.its his bloody posture.and knee and back problems.all of which ford has probably suffered.or almost for sure actually.i wont change for anyone.i have people here that want me around and are sort of fans of mine.a term im not too confortable with,id rather call them friends.as with any person or celeb with some sort of visibility to the public,you will always get the haters.i cant worry about putting people off when i speak the truth.so be it.now if more people hated me than loved me,then i would move on.now ed,time to move on too. glenn says on 18/May/08
steve go fuk yourself too.as for you ed,you saw the argument escalating,yet you persisted at irritating me.like everyother fight here.what have you just posted should i take into account as serious? it might as well have my name up on the site.i dont care how arrogant that sounds.and i could give a toss if people get fed up.your just scraping for anything. steve says on 18/May/08
ah ah nice job ed...great answer... Ed(1) says on 18/May/08
Glenn, you're the one who said they(your autograph professional friends) find this site silly and laught at everyone here, "rightfully so"! You started the ball rolling with your condescending tone! I've supported probably 98% of your claims and have come to your defense when you were attacked. I disagreed with you on Ford, and maybe I could be wrong like I've said in the past, but that's not good enough. You want everyone to accept your words as 100% truth, well sorry buddy everyone makes mistakes!
You roam around here constatntly berating those who don't agree with you, putting people down, and screaming to Rob who you want banned! Are you kidding me with that grade school crap? No wonder so many people here get fed up with your b.s., and call you out on it!! Last time I checked this is called celebheights.com, not Glenn's celeb sightings!
For the record, I've met a decent amount of celebs(actors/musicians) and sports figures for the average "non autograph seeking professional", so my basis for judgement isn't all just from DVDs. My sister met Ford like I said before, and saw him as the same height as me 5ft11.25. Perhaps she was wrong, but off by near 2 inches I don't think so.
"What a moron.post here leaps and bounds?'
Well you do post here more then anyone else period, yet you put the site down as "moronic" and claim all your "pro" friends laugh at everyone here! What kind of message is that to send to those who you "have an obligation to"?
"go fuk off", "moron", "idiot"
You're a classy guy man!! I'm impressed! glenn says on 17/May/08
what a moron.post here leaps and bounds? its my pics you idiot.and without my accounts and pics there wouldnt be a site and rob stated that once.i have a obligation to people here that care to know that truth.not internet speculation. glenn says on 17/May/08
ed-go fuk off.now im belligerent.he was in dress shoes every encounter me and my friends saw him at and now you want to pop off about autograph dealers? and so what? they are out here 20-25 years meeting celebs and your here on a computer.furthermore,i worked on film sets with ford and know people who work on films that also include security.yet you want to judge or know it all.i would recommend no further posts.its always people that assume that always start trouble.you dont know me or all my past nor would i want to discuss it here.it fact i saw ford barefoot once.or socks at least.bye bye. Ed(1) says on 17/May/08
Glenn says:
"realise who you are dealing with.these pros of mine find this site silly and laught at you guys,rightfully so.they would never post here,nor have the time."
I think you need to listen to yourself man! You just single-handedly put down everyone here including yourself, considering the fact you post here more then anyone in leaps and bounds!
Pros? Professional autograph seekers? Am I seriously supposed to hold them in high regard?!
"Not once have you said, I could be wrong glenn."
Well then you didn't read all the posts I've made. Read October 25th's post where I said "No offense Glenn, I'm with you on most of all your claims, but this one still just feels off to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but he looks 5ft11-5ft11.25 now, and 6ft-6ft0.25 in his prime.
"I called you out and embarrassed you."
Hahahahahaha! Are you serious?
Like I said before, come down off your high horse man!!
So your 5ft10 friends from the ghetto wouldn't think he was tall, if he was 6ft barefoot with a pair of boots on, putting him at 6ft1-6f1.25? But they would if he was 1 inch taller? That makes no sense! That's like saying a 5ft9 guy would be perceived as a really tall compared to someone 5ft8. glenn says on 17/May/08
exactly viper.ill see how much he shrunk in a few days. Viper says on 16/May/08
I can certaintly buy Ford at 6-1 back in the day though. glenn says on 16/May/08
ed-listen to yourself sometime,and also realise who you are dealing with.these pros of mine find this site silly and laugh at you guys,rightfully so.they would never post here,nor have the time.to speculate what a celebs height is,is fine.to say i might be wrong is fine.but you state yourself like its fact.what i say is fact cause of my experiences.not once have you said,i could be wrong glenn,but i think so and so.and you neglected to comment on frank2's fallacies which leads me to think i called you out and embarrased you.im not wrong ed.ford was 6-1.i had 5-10 friends from the ghetto bump into him while filming and state "i never realised he was so tall".would they say that if he was only 6ft? at 2 inches away? no. take care ed.move on. Ash says on 16/May/08
He was 6'1? I always imagined he was like 5'10. He always looked pretty normal in the Indy movies. Ed(1) says on 16/May/08
Glenn, you know what's funny is I could support you and have your back a bunch of times over the years, and the one time I disagree with you, you fly off the handle and get belligerent.
I haven't heard of any other "pros" on this site who have seen Ford at 6ft1, just the occasional poster who may have met Ford by accident. With those sightings there's just as many if not more 5ft10, 5ft11, and 6ft sightings as there are 6ft1 claims. Yeah, you've made some huge contributions to this site, but you're not infallible! This one just seems off to me!
"so go your merry way, and argue elsewhere.cause im not interested.iknow my history and importance.and it isnt watching dvds."
No I think I'll stay! Just because people may not agree with you, doesn't mean they have to leave the forum! Your importance? Jesus man come down a few pegs, this is a site discussing and debating celeb's heights for God's sake! LOL glenn says on 16/May/08
dozen other pros outside this sometimes moronic site with moronic people like frank2,who pegged stallone at 5-7,colin farrell at 5-8 and me at 5-6,so dont tell me about fuking frank2 or harrison ford when you dont have the facts straight.to have it straight you have meet these celebs at least a few times each to make a accurate gauge.do i think ford is 5-11ish,6ft now.sure.ill buy that.but he was 6-1 up until 1997.now,as you said,you dont agree,so go your merry way,and argue elsewhere.cause im not interested.i know my history and importance.and it isnt watching dvds. Ed(1) says on 15/May/08
Glenn who are the dozen other pros?
The only other person on this site to see him, and had a history of seeing celebs was Frank2. At 5ft11, Frank2 saw Ford at 6ft! I've heard of just as many 5ft11-6ft sightings of Ford, as I have 6ft1. I'm sorry I just don't agree with you on this one, and I appear to not be the only one! glenn says on 15/May/08
ok ed,im happy for you.go on thinking what you want.i know what i saw,and what a dozen other pros saw.now debate with someone else please. Ed(1) says on 15/May/08
In the movie Children of Men Clive Owen(6ft2) runs around in flip flops for virtually the second half of the film and still looks like an exceptionally tall man. He stands out in every crowd he's in, and towers over most. I'm sorry, but I have never seen Ford look remotely close to that tall in any film or pic he's been in. At a solid 6ft1 barefoot, with shoes or boots he'd be around 6ft2-6ft2.5. He's never looked that to me, the most I could see is 6ft1.5 in boots, but that's it! glenn says on 15/May/08
for all i know he can be in the gutter in this pic,or im in boots.he was 6-1.please. Ed(1) says on 14/May/08
Glenn, so you're saying Ford if standing up straight in that pic with you, is 6ft2.25-6ft2.5 with the cop shoes he wore in The Devil's Own?
Because if he was 6ft1 barefoot in 1997 when that photo was taken, he would be 6ft2 minimum, more like 6ft2.25-6ft2.5 with the thick heeled cop shoes he wore in the film. I'm sorry I just can't see that! 6ft1 maybe a bit more in his shoes, but not 6ft2 plus! He looks virtually the same in relation to you as does Josh Lucas(5ft11.5), Jake Gyllenhaal(6ft), and Leonardo Dicaprio(5ft11.5)just to name a few. glenn says on 14/May/08
listen to patrick. Viper says on 14/May/08
He looked 6-1 in Star Wars I thought. dmeyer says on 14/May/08
thanks guys i realy have a hard time seeing ford at 6 ft 1 peak ,lately he looks 182 cm same height as he looks in indiana jones maybe his posture was bad so 6 ft and maybe 6 ft 0.25 in his 20s so rob do you realy think ford was 185.42 cm afternoon height at peak patrick says on 14/May/08
As I already told here, Glenn is right because he saw him so many times. As for me, I repeat that when shooting in Paris Frantic, in 1987, he was taller than my 6'05'' tall friend; at least by halh an inch, maybe a tad more.
How he is now, I can't say but certainly less. glenn says on 14/May/08
mi agree,he can look shorter than 6-1 alot.but why did he always look 6-1 to me and my friends? met him dozens of times between 1990 and 1997.and probably will again next week.was,and still is extremely difficult to get him to pose.during the devils own and sabrina he was posing up a storm.i have 2 from the devils own. Ed(1) says on 13/May/08
Glenn, how many times did you meet Ford?
I respect your opinions, and I agree with you on pretty much all of your sightings but this one! I really think whatever he was wearing on his feet has given you a taller impression of him. I just can't see him at 6ft2 plus in shoes ever!! I didn't meet him but my sister did in the early 90's, and she saw him as the same size as me, 5ft11.25. Her only distinction was that he was broader shouldered at the time, but in my defense I was only a teenager when she met him. So if say she was off and he was 6ft that works, but off by near 2 inches... I don't think so.
Ford looked 6ft1-6ft1.5 in shoes/boots in Star Wars, Empire, The Coversation, Apocalypse Now, Raiders, and Temple of Doom. From there on out roughly 1985-present he's looked a solid 5ft11 plus guy/and 6ft plus in shoes. I say 6ft0.25 peak tops!
Just my two cents! glenn says on 13/May/08
i dont care what any of you say cause none of you saw him like i did.i met from 1990-1997.i agree he can look shorter in movies and that he might be shorter now.but he was a legit 6-1 up until 1997. Ed(1) says on 13/May/08
I'm with you Dmeyer, those numbers sound right. With the thick heeled cop shoes he wore in The Devil's Own he'd be easily 6ft1, if say he was 6ft0.25 pre Temple of Doom, and around 5ft11.75 after, decreasing as the years passed. That coupled with poor posture would make sense why in every film he's been in since the late 70's he's only looked 5ft11-6ft tops.
On another note, have you guys ever seen Random Hearts made in 1999? Ford looks so average in that film it's not funny! He by no means looks 6ft2 in shoes at any moment in the film. He looks like a 5ft10-5ft11 guy the whole time, and the same goes for K19: The Widowmaker, Hollywood Homicide, and Firewall. I honestly don't think Ford has looked 6ft since The Fugitive and Patriot Games.
Sorry Glenn, but even if Ford stood with military posture next to you, I have a hard time seeing him at 6ft2 plus (in his cop shoes) in that pic, or at all for that matter! dmeyer says on 13/May/08
i think you should downgreat harrison like you did to macconaughey like a full in exept if at 45 lost already 1 in dmeyer says on 13/May/08
i wouldnt go as far as 5 ft 10 but in indiana jones he looks 2.5 in under 6 ft 2 connery who could have been 6 ft 1.5 since he was 59 years nowadays stel looks solid 5 ft 11 like 5 ft 11.5 to 5 ft11.75 like weak 6 ft and dosnt look over 6 ft peak to me he hasnt lost as mush as rob said maybe 6 ft 0.25 peak 6 ft in the 90s and 5 ft11.5 now like 1 to 2 cm loss he looks barely 6 ft more like 5 ft11.5 in indiana jones but he was 45 so maybe 0.5 to 1 cm loss a 6 ft 0.5 to 6 ft 1 in person wouldnt look so dwarfed by an old 6 ft 2 men bill says on 13/May/08
his height is greatly exaggerated. I met him in 1983. I am 5'10 exactly barefoot. He was exactly the same height. He was wearing ordinary shoes. He was around 170-180 lbs. His size is greatly exaggerated. glenn says on 12/May/08
very interesting james. glenn says on 12/May/08
how man times have you met ford dmeyer? case closed. dmeyer says on 12/May/08
6 ft 0.25 peak 5 ft 11.25 now dmeyer says on 12/May/08
i am looking at indiana jones and i doubt connery was over 6 ft 2 in and ford looks considerably shorter like 6 t max a good 2 in smaller i guess he was never nore than 6 ft ,rob i think ford needs a serioud downgrad for peak height he was only 45 in indiana jones Ed(1) says on 12/May/08
No James, his posture was good! In fact overall physically he hasn't looked better in a long time. It's really hard to believe he's 65.
GUK, I think Leno is 5ft11 or close to it. Ford has appeared pretty much to be the same size as Leno evertime he's been on his show in the last 10 years or so. GUK says on 12/May/08
Maybe Leno is 5ft 11, they are very close in height now Click Here Ed(1) says on 10/May/08
Anybody else here see Leno last night with Ford?
When Ford came out and Leno greeted him they were the exact same height, with Leno looking to maybe even have the slightest edge. Leno is listed at 5ft11, but many think he's 5ft9 and a lift wearer. Regardless, Ford and him were almost evenly matched. If Ford is 5ft11.75 now and 6ft0.75 or so in shoes, Leno has to be at least 5ft11 and near 6ft1 while wearing 2 inch lifts. I really can't see him at 5ft9 with 4 inch lift shoes, or 5ft10 with 3 inch lifts. LOL
If Leno is shorter, then Ford is too, and not the 5ft11.75 he's listed. I wouldn't be surprised if he's more like 5ft11-5ft11.25 these days. anon says on 8/May/08
I see just over 3 inches taller, he's not 6ft 1 these days GUK says on 6/May/08
Ford looks tall (6ft plus) in all his films except working girl where for some reason he looks 5ft 10-11, maybe it's the sigourney weaver effect Ed(1) says on 4/May/08
If Ford was really 6ft1, it had to have been a long time ago early-mid 70's, with his height loss occuring right after his back injury during the filming of Temple of Doom.
And If Connery truly was 6ft2 in his Bond days( or even a bit more), by 1989 during the filming of Last Crusade he was bound to have lost some height at near 60 years old.
You're right Chris, Connery did have an easy 1.5 inches on Ford in LC. I still say Ford was 6ft-6ft0.5 tops in 1989, and now is under the 6ft mark. Just look at Glenn's pic with him, where he's not looking like much more then 6ft while slouching. Chris says on 3/May/08
Harrison Ford was 6ft1 peak height but sometimes he has a bad poature, he looked 6 feet in Indiana Jones, maybe 6'˝''. In Last Crusade he was 1˝'' inch shorter than 6'2'' Sean Connery. glenn says on 30/Apr/08
long enough on the screen to give me a tall impression.then in blade runner and raiders he would give 6ft even illusions. Gonzalo says on 30/Apr/08
He looked very tall in Star wars and in The conversation. In Apocalypse now he was shortly on the screen to be gauged. I always thought he was 1,83 but certain reliable comments make me think he was actually taller than that glenn says on 29/Apr/08
and apocalypse now. glenn says on 27/Apr/08
good point guys.he did give the illusion of near 6-2 or 6-2. Ed(1) says on 27/Apr/08
Glenn, I agree! Ford was not 5ft11 in Star Wars, he did look a solid 6ft if not more. Even if he was only 6ft0.5 then, in his Han Solo boots he would have been a good 6ft1.5, not to mention he was really lean back then and looked even taller. glenn says on 27/Apr/08
han solo was 5-11.not ford.thats absurd.he is clearly 6-1 in the finale of star wars episode 4. Anonymous says on 26/Apr/08
When Star Wars came out, he was listed at 180cm (5'11) as his fame grew, so did his height! Ed(1) says on 26/Apr/08
Hugh have you seen him next to Shia LaBeouf? Rob has him listed at 5ft9.25, but I personally think he's no more then 5ft8.5, either way Ford looks to have anywhere between 2-3.5 inches on him depending on the pics. These pics vary from award show ceremonies in which LaBeouf was wearing flat soled Vans style shoes, to pics where he wears his questionable big heeled motorcycle boots in the upcoming movie Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
There's no way Ford is 6ft1 these days, but near 6ft is very possible. I'd go with 5ft11.5-5ft11.75. Hugh says on 22/Apr/08
I don't think Ford is under 6ft today. Still looks 6ft if not a hair more. 183-184cm and 185-186cm peak. Ed(1) says on 20/Apr/08
I just recently rewatched The Conversation with Ford and Gene Hackman, and I was able this time to slow certain scenes down to see the difference between the two of them. I was always puzzled as to why Ford looked so close to Hackman's 6ft2 listed height, and now I know why. In the film Ford wears borderline Three's Company platforms to Hackman's flat soled dress shoes(with maybe 0.5-0.75 inch lift). Ford is still around an inch shorter than Hackman, with what looks to be an easy 1.5-2 inch lift in the heels.
The shoes are golden brown, and stand out very easy if you slow-mo the shots they are in together. Once again this only reinforces to me that Ford was 6ft, maybe a bit more tops, in his youth. With these heeled shoes he was probably near 6ft2 easy, along with his super slim build at the time which made him look even taller.
Hackman was probably 6ft2.5-6ft2.75 tops in his shoes, to Ford's 6ft1.5-6ft2 in his Saturday Night Fever specials! glenn says on 19/Apr/08
thanks for backing me.im not denying he cant be shorter now. anonymous says on 19/Apr/08
i am going to have to agree with glenn. he does look an easy 6`1 peak.
But here, he is looking a little shorter than arnold Click Here Ed(1) says on 14/Apr/08
Nothin, yeah it's possible! I start off the day at 5ft11.75, and end up at 5ft11.25 in the evening. I've found I can be near 5ft11.25 by the middle of the day sometimes, so it varies. It kind of sucks that if I lose an inch by the time I'm 60 or so, I'll only be 5ft10.25 most days. So, I'll definitely be investing in some good thick heeled shoes by then!LOL Nothin says on 11/Apr/08
Yeah Pitt looked taller in devils own. I have a question, is it normal that i lose half an inch by the time i go to bed? Charles says on 10/Apr/08
I my self am a hair over 5'11 barefoot, at times i wear 2 inch lifts inside my boots, and gave immpresion of being 6'2, john wayne used to wear lifts why wouldnt a guy like ford wear them/ John says on 9/Apr/08
In that pic he looks only 6-0. Ed(1) says on 3/Apr/08
Pitt was taller than Ford in certain scenes and then shorter in others. My guess is he's probabaly 5ft10.5-5ft11, with boots and or lifts 6ft-6ft1. I don't think he's as short as 5ft9 as some throw out there, but 5ft10 plus is definitely an option.
In the scene when Pitt first arrives at Ford's house in the film, Ford answers the door in his socks and is a good inch or so shorter then Pitt who's wearing cowboy boots. I still think he was 6ft tops in 1997, more like 5ft11.75. Now a days I wouldn't rule out 5ft11.25 for Ford, Just look at all the pics circulating around on the web of Ford and Shia LaBeouf( a weak 5ft9 at best). In pretty much all the pics Ford's got 2-2.5 inches tops on LaBeouf.
[Editor Rob: remember Harrison had herniated disc in 1984, that could have effected slightly his height back then.] Anonymous says on 3/Apr/08
James, the guy in Apocalypse Now is Martin Sheen, not Charlie Sheen. Martin was at max 5'7'' whereas Charlie is 5'9''. glenn says on 3/Apr/08
like i said,he was 6ft.on the set.dont know what else to explain.or what lifts were involved. glenn says on 3/Apr/08
i was on that set obviously.pitt was 6ft.january 1997 on top.it was shot late 1996 as well. glenn says on 2/Apr/08
i noticed men with glasses seem to distort things.frank2 wore some thick ones.coke bottles. Ed(1) says on 2/Apr/08
Glenn I hear what you're saying about Frank2, but badly judging someone's height when your own height is within an inch or so of theirs?
As for Sly and Colin, I don't know what to say? They've both always looked 5ft9 or so to me, with big heeled boots to give them an edge. I've never met them, so I can't say that with absolute conviction.
If Frank2 is 5ft11, and he saw Ford as only an inch taller than him... I just have a hard time seeing him screw that up. The closer you are to someone's height the eaier it is too gauge, at least in my opinion. Footwear is usually the most misleading aspect when judging height. Depending on what I wear, usually black sporty/casual Skecher type shoes or brown Doc. Martens, I can range from either 6ft0.25-6ft1. That coupled with being on the leaner side, can give the impression that I'm even taller. I get people thinking I'm 6ft1-6ft2 a lot, when in actuality I'm 5ft11.75 or so straight out of bed in the morning, and near 5ft11.25 by the end of the day. glenn says on 1/Apr/08
well at least you see what i mean viper about nyc. glenn says on 1/Apr/08
i agree he can look 6ft in movies too.frank2 was bad at gauging.he had sly at 5-7 and colin farrell at 5-8. Ed says on 1/Apr/08
I agree Lebensdorf that he has always looked around 6ft on screen, and 6ft1 or so in varying footwear. But, I've never met him like Glenn or Frank2! Glenn saw Ford at 6ft1 to bis 5ft8, and Frank2 saw him at 6ft to his 5ft11. I say split the difference and say 6ft0.5 for Ford. Now a days though he looks all of 5ft11.5 tops.
I agree Glenn, he did look tall and lanky in Apocalypse Now, as well as in the original Star Wars. From there on out though I always saw him as around 6ft, but not much taller.
It's true Lebensdorf, Aykroyd was noticeably taller than Ford in TOD, and in Last Crusade Julian Glover(6ft2) had an easy 2.5-3 inches on Ford. Not to mention Glover had at least 1.5 inches on Connery, who had an easy 1.5 if not more on Ford. All you got to do is watch the the scene when Indy first meets up with his Dad in the Austrian castle and the Nazis burst in the room. They stand side by side and it's perfectly clear how much taller Connery was than Ford. If I were to wager a guess, I'd say Ford was just around 6ft maybe 5ft11.75 in Last Crusade, Connery was a weak 6ft1.5, and Glover was 6ft2.5-6ft3. Viper says on 1/Apr/08
I will say the tallest city to me seemed to be Washington DC. In terms of the number of people over 6-0. glenn says on 1/Apr/08
try seeing in person numerous times in the 90s instead of watching movies.thats absurd.he was 6-1.want a movie where he looks 6-1? stop watching obvious films and watch apocalypse now. Lebensdorf says on 31/Mar/08
I’ve been watching the Indiana Jones movies again, as I’m all geared up to see the forthcoming sequel, and I’ve been paying close attention to Ford’s height. Honestly, I’d say that he was never taller than six feet even—but it’s possible that he was as tall as six feet and a half, if I should give him the benefit of the doubt. But no taller.
Interestingly, Dan Aykroyd has a cameo, of sorts, in “Temple of Doom,” in which he plays the man who arranges Indy’s flight from Shanghai at the beginning of the film. (He talks in a British accent and you don’t see a close-up of him, so you wouldn’t necessarily know it’s him.) Aykroyd, who is listed on celebheights at six-one, looks noticeably taller than Ford. Also, in “Last Crusade,” if Julian Glover is only six-two, Ford must be no taller than six feet; Glover towers over him.
A solid six feet seems most correct for Ford—in his youth, anyway. He may’ve shrunk a bit by now. Viper says on 31/Mar/08
It seems like people might be getting shorter where I live. I just dont see the average increasing. Maybe it is in other areas. When I was in New York city back in december it was crowded as hell, and I felt like the tallest, or at least one of the tallest walking the streets at 6-3. Most of people I saw in New York were 5-10-5-11. Ed(1) says on 31/Mar/08
I was in downtown Chicago over the weekend, and once again at around 6ft0.75 with the shoes I was wearing, I felt average. There were a ton of 5ft11-6ft guys, and a lot of 6ft1, 6ft2, and 6ft3 guys as well. The streets were packed, the stores full, and the museums were standing room only, and it seemed like every guy I saw was for the most part on the taller side. Even some of the women seemed exceptionally tall.
I'm with Glenn, the average has increased. Hugh says on 28/Mar/08
I think 6ft1 is tall by normal standards. 6ft 'used' to be tall. It's in my opinion above average. I agree 6ft2 is where you feel genuinely tall. glenn says on 27/Mar/08
5-11 in new york city. UNK says on 26/Mar/08
5'11" average for white males - there is NO way that is true. Not if you are including the entire white male population.. not even if you are only including 18 - 40 y/os. Close to 5'10", but no way a solid 5'11". glenn says on 25/Mar/08
about time people agree with me 5-11 is average for white males. Ed says on 25/Mar/08
I agree James! I live in the states, and to me the average appears to be around 5ft11. I see a lot of guys that are in this range and taller, more and more often. The last sporting event I went to was a strong indicator of this, with myself at 6ft plus in shoes feeling pretty average. I've heard several times now that guys in the UK are usually on average closer to 5ft11-6ft, and from what you're saying this sounds to be true!
6ft does seem to be the old fashioned tall height, whereas now a solid 6ft2 stands out as a legitimately tall individual. Ed says on 21/Mar/08
Nick are you 6ft1 in your barefeet?
Just curious because I'm around 5ft11.75 barefoot out of bed, and between 5ft11.25-5ft11.5 by the end of the day. Depending on my shoes, I'm anywhere between 6ft.0.25-6ft1, and I usually feel just a little taller than average. I agree, I think the average height for guys is more than the old 5ft9/5ft10 standby, and I wouldn't doubt if its a flat 5ft11 now. nick says on 20/Mar/08
My height is 6ft 1ins and I think these days it is the average height of a male in the western world. Not too short, not too tall. glenn says on 12/Mar/08
thanks littleboy. glenn says on 12/Mar/08
he was 6-1 at least up until 1997. Little Boy says on 12/Mar/08
That's a good picture Glenn! Yeah I agree with this being his height! Pierre says on 11/Mar/08
I think Ford was a legit 6'1 in his heyday but I think after "temple of doom" (He had major back surgery during filming) he was more like 5'11 and 6 feet. There is a picture of him standing next to a famous model (I can't remember her name) and she's 5'9. It was at some award ceremony so I'm sure she's wearing at least 3 inch heals or more...so that makes Ford about 6 feet now. Remember Clint Eastwood was 6'4 until probably around "Unforgiven" where you can see he is taller than both Hackman and Freeman but in "Million Dollar Baby" he's a few inches shorter. He's had back problems and he slouches so he's now like 6'1 or 6'2. glenn says on 22/Feb/08

in his prime around 182cm (5-11.75) now maybe 179/179.5cm (5-10.75) barefoot. jennie says on 21/Feb/08
I used to hear he was 6'1 when Ford was younger. Charliemoto says on 21/Feb/08
Glenn looked great in that image next to Harrison.
i agree he was 184-185cm in prime and definetely shorter now about 182cm fits. Anonymous says on 21/Feb/08
he does look 5'11.25-5'11.5, in the picture he looks 3.25 or 3.5 inches taller than glenn. 5'11 flat is possible. glenn says on 21/Feb/08
he was 6-1 peak.period. G-MANN says on 21/Feb/08
The picture of Ford with Glenn must be from the set of The Devil's Own (1997) where Ford plays an NYPD cop. patrick says on 20/Feb/08
No way in the 80ies! Or else my pal was 5'9 and Sean Connery 6'! Anonymous says on 18/Feb/08
I think he was around 5'11.5 peak, now 5'10.75 - 5'11 barefoot. patrick says on 13/Feb/08
Ed, my friend was exactly 184 which is more precise than in inches!
I’m really sorry for having written 6’3.5. I just meant a tad less than 6’05 (6’.04 in fact).
Regarding me, I am pretty short 5’7 -8 (depending when!) range but everybody think I am 5’11 or even more because I wear cow boy boots just for I love that!
I always was told I look much taller and I precise that just to insist on how subjective our vision of so-called facts can be.
Many tall people, 6’1 or even 2 never stand up straight and loose 2 even 3 inches .
Considering I always stood “up” and with 2 inch heels, I don’t look that much short beside them!
I don’t do that deliberately but result is the same!
About Harrison, he really was a very tad taller than my friend who was aware of that. Ed says on 21/Jan/08
Patrick I'm confused, you said your friend is 184 cm, which is approx. 72.44 inches, but then you say he was a little less than 6ft3.5? Maybe you just typed that wrong?
How tall are you by the way?
Dmeyer I agree, I see him at around 5ft11.25-5ft11.5 now as well. He was very possibly 6ft-6ft0.5 in his youth, but I still can't see a full 6ft1! dmeyer says on 20/Jan/08
looks steel close to 6 ft like 5'11.5 patrick says on 13/Nov/07
Glenn is absolutely right: until 97 he was 6'1 even "up". As I already wrote it here, I saw him during "Frantic" shooting and he was taller than my "tall" friend who was exactly 184cm (a bit less than 6'3.5). I can assure you that my friend was 184 and that Harrison was taller than him in 1987.
6'1 was right at the time but no more for long. dmeyer says on 26/Oct/07
peak 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 now 5'11.25 to 5'11.5 Ed says on 25/Oct/07
Que I'm with you on Ford's height. I've never thought he looked 6ft1, but maybe 6ft0.25 in his youth. I've said it before, at 6ft1 barefoot he'd be between 6ft2 and 6ft2.5 depending on his footwear, and in my opinion he's never ever looked that tall on screen before. 6ft1 in shoes or boots yes, but not taller.
Frank2 who used to post on here, met a lot of celebs like Glenn including Ford, who he saw him at 6ft to his 5ft11. Including this sighting I've read others on different Ford fansites, who all have seen him between 5ft11-6ft.
No offense Glenn, I'm with you on most of all your claims, but this one just still feels off to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but he only looks 5ft11-5ft11.25 now, and 6ft-6ft0.25 in his prime. glenn says on 25/Oct/07
i know he was 6-1 up until 1997.i and others witnessed it.i would here comments from 5-10 friends about how surprised they were at his tall stature.now,maybe he is 5-11.5.maybe.i havnt seen him in 10 years. Que says on 24/Oct/07
The photo anonymous posted earlier Click Here shows Harrison at about a 1/4 inch over 6' when you flatten the hair and I'm pretty sure it would have been taken with his shoes on. That means he would have about 1" 1/4 shorter without the shoes, which would have made him 5'11 when he was 51.
I very much doubt that he was ever 6'1, possibly at absolute best 5'11 3/4 in his 20's and 30's which would have been 6'1 IN shoes but certainly not out of them.... I expect thats how the 6'1 originally came about, seeing as many people give their height in shoes especially celebs, thou he might have never been taller than the 5'11 seeing as he was only 51 in the Fugetive photo and maybe had lost Zero height by that time?
I know 5'11 seems a little low for a man who looked so tall in Apocaylpse Now, so PERHAPS the height scale in the Fugative photo started 1" above the level of the floor (to account for shoes) in which case he would have indeed been the 6' 1/4 in the pic, I dunno thou anyone seen those police height scales up close? glenn says on 23/Oct/07
let the hobby be dung picking. Ed says on 22/Oct/07
I second that Glenn! glenn says on 22/Oct/07
im astounded people have time to post crap like yours.whats worse? our anal world about celebheights? or someone who has no life but to post something on a subject he isnt interested in? if this isnt you,forgive me please.we do have haters posting on occasion.again,dont take it serious if you were joking.if you wernt, go find a hobby. PhotochopzForFord says on 21/Oct/07
I am astounded by everyone's arcane knowledge regarding actors' heights. Personally I'm between 6'0" barefoot and 6'2.57575" with my boots on. Somewhere, somehow, I have this exact thread about me going on. Now I just need to find it. Ed says on 17/Oct/07
That sounds pretty close Dmeyer, but I wouldn't rule out 6ft0.25 peak and 5ft11.25 now. dmeyer says on 17/Oct/07
6'0.5 peak 5'11.5 now Daniel says on 16/Oct/07
Ford always looked 6'1'' to me. Ed says on 16/Oct/07
That's a pic from 1993's The Fugitive, so Ford was 51 and looking at around 6ft maybe a hair over if you combed down his bushy hair. Now the debate on whether he was barefoot or wearing shoes will ensue. I'm pretty sure they make you wear your shoes when you get your mugshot, and only take them and your belt away afterwards. I could be wrong though. Granted this is a movie still, but my guess is his shoes are on. Anonymous says on 15/Oct/07

He's 182 cm tall (probably with shoes) anon says on 25/Sep/07
Bizzarely Ford was spotted on a canal boat holiday in England and Wales a couple of years ago. Those who met him commented waht a nice guy he was, at his stage of career he doesnt need to be but it looks like he knows... It's nice to be important but it's important to be nice!
Click Here optobob says on 23/Sep/07
my cousin has met Ford a number of times. Says he is a very nice person. Especially to the "workers" on the films. Ed says on 19/Sep/07
Good pic Anon, it really shows the difference between Ford and Connery. It's the same in Last Crusade, but Spielberg shot the film with varying angles making Ford look taller than Connery(6ft2) at times and then shorter at others. It's also pretty safe to assume Connery at 59 years of age during the making of Last Crusade was probably not near his peak height. anon says on 18/Sep/07
looks a couple of inches smaller than connery here even with closer to camera advantage. Can't see the ground though!

"He looked 6'2 in Star Wars"
That's because Ford was rail thin back in 1977, wore boots in the film, was only 35 years old, it was before all his stunt related injuries, and he was standing next to a cast of actors that topped out at 5ft8.
Between 6ft-6ft1 barefoot, but not 6ft2! He might have been near 6ft2 in his Han Solo Boots though. Glenn saw him years ago at 6ft1 and Frank2 said a hair over 6ft, so I'd split the difference and say 6ft0.5. Anonymous says on 9/Sep/07
he looked 6'2 in star wars so he was defenitely 185-188 glenn says on 27/Aug/07
he was 6-1 peak.trust me. Gonzalo says on 27/Aug/07
He was shorter than Richard Harris in Patriot games and Harris is liste 6`1 here. To me Ford is 6 feet, no more than that. dmeyer says on 17/Aug/07
then whi do you have him 6'1 peak maybe in the morning 6'1 at peak dmeyer says on 16/Aug/07
rob we would like to see some prove that ford was a full 6 ft 1 in at peak like 185.42 cm i think he was a lidl over 6 ft like 6'0.25 to 6'0.5 and lost 1 in
[Editor Rob: the proper 6ft 1 is possibly harder to believe] gabriel says on 16/Aug/07
i dont know if he ever was even 6 foot 1 as listed he was shorter than 6 foot 1 Rautger Hauer in blade runner, and he was shorter than 6 foot 1 richard hariss in patriot games, I think he was always under 6 foot he has not shrunk he was about 2 inches shorter than sean connery also in last crusade and sean is 6 foot 1 also. So ford is about 5 10 5 11 range always has been. Only time i recall him looking tall was in Star Wars A New Hope next to mark hamil dmeyer says on 13/Aug/07
wath funny a friend of mine who is 5'4 and his son is 5'6.5 were in an elevator with ford and told me ford was the same height 5'6.5 son i dont believe it taugh dmeyer says on 6/Aug/07
rob are you sure he is steel as tall as strong 182 cm he did look a bit taller than 182patrick glenn says on 5/Aug/07
ed,the man had apartments in nyc forever.and hits gyms here.so,he isnt trying to avoid people.he now lives in a very public and busy area. Ed says on 4/Aug/07
Well he has always been known for being an intense guy who's fiercely protective of his privacy, this could be misconstrued as being grouchy. I would wager that being caught off guard for an autograph or picture, by someone other than a kid could put him in a foul mood. I've never heard stories of him being a grouch towards kids though, only adults! It just really seems that the "Hollywood Life" and everything that comes with it, is something he's never been comfortable with! The guy lives on a ranch in Wyoming for God's sakes, and keeps out of the public eye as much as humanly possible. Glenn says on 3/Aug/07
I havnt seen him since 1997.he was ok then. Glenn says on 30/Jul/07
Yeah,heard he got worse. Mike says on 29/Jul/07
Damn Glenn, I thought Ford would be one of the nicer celebs considering his roles in movies...anyways hes 5'11 to 6 now Ed says on 19/Jul/07
Kevin I agree in The Conversation Ford is looking 1-1.5inches shorter than Hackman. Hackman could have been 6ft1.5 not a full 6ft2 in the early 70's when this film was made to Ford's possible 6ft0.25-6ft0.5.
I just saw Dreamscape from the mid 80's, and Dennis Quaid(6ft) looks to have almost exactly the same height difference standing with Kate Capshaw that Ford did in Temple of Doom. One thing is for sure he's shrunk, and is looking more 5ft11 these days. kevin says on 18/Jul/07
in the conservation ford looked shorter than hackman by an inch or maybe a tad more. but back then hackman was a strong 6ft2in for sure. so fords peak height was probably about 185-184cm and today he really looks like he lost height. not even 6ft anymore. |
