Moron - Im "told" the avg male loses 1/2" every 10 years after the age of 40. This is definitely the case for my dad but more than the 1/2". Instead of 4" taller Im about 6" over him today. Pedro says on 21/Feb/10
Dave you find it humorous that a guy 5'6 could be a tough guy? I find that humorous. You ever hear of guys like Bruce Lee (5'7) or Manny Pacquiao (5'6). If Bruce were alive I would love to see you stand up to either him or Manny today and question their toughness. Jet Li (5'6) is another guy whose toughness you would question based on his height. What an ignorant remark. runt says on 27/Jan/10
For some reason much more believable as a tough guy than the taller Tom Cruise LG69 says on 29/Oct/09
The Fonz looks great; he hasn't changed that much over the years. Nick says on 22/Oct/09
He is a little runt! TELLEM says on 6/Oct/09

Sandler is 5'10''.

Sandler is 5'10''. Doug says on 18/Jul/09
Why is it Mamun only gets photographed with short dudes or frickin giants? Mamun looks tall LOL compared to WInkler and Paul Daniels! moron says on 17/Jul/09
can any guy answer me a question please... at what age you start getting shorter again? like at 55 or 60 years old?? Caleb says on 23/Jun/09
In the movie The Waterboy, 5'9" Adam Sandler towers over Winkler. Based on this Winkler is closer to 5'4 1/2" tall. Josh.J says on 16/Jun/09
loved this guy as the inept and outrageous attorney Barry Zuckerkorn in Arrested Development. he certainly looked very short compared with the rest of the cast. Daniel says on 29/May/09
So the Fonz was my height! Ha ha ha J.C. says on 18/Apr/09
Gotta say that 5'6" is more like "quite short", than really short. Was a little surprised too that he was that height, thought couple of inches taller... stephan 168 says on 25/Feb/09
my dads 174cm iv measured him, and when we walk around the house barefoot there is not that much deiffernce between me n my dad, we're almost eye level like winkler's eyes are up to mahmouds chin and mahmoud is stated as 5'8.25(174 like my dad), im 168 and a bit in the morning and im pretty happy with that, 175+ would of been better but thers alot smalla dudes and fat n ugly tall kunts, soo yeh fonzy looks 5'5ish 2 me in happy days, if tom bosley is 5'6 like this site said fonzy is 5'5 with his motorbike shoes. leonari says on 20/Jan/09
He was 5'6" in Fonzy days. Clay says on 19/Jan/09
Its pretty hard to be a 5'6.5 tough guy, lol. Brent says on 10/Jan/09
That's awesome all 3 of you guys have a pic with him. 5'5.5 looks dead on accurate. RisingForce says on 28/Nov/08
It's funny, watching Happy Days for years I had no idea Henry was short. They hid it well on the show, whenever he appears in anything else he always looks short though. Jlee says on 25/Nov/08
wow! he's pretty short! on happy days you felt he was like five eleven! Danimal says on 24/Nov/08
Again, he recently claimed 5'5.5" on the today show. It's on youtube. It was the Happy Days reunion special. I believe he is honest about his current height. Probably lost an inch since his prime, which is normal height loss for a man his age (in his 60's). Anonymous says on 24/Nov/08
He's possibly starting to shrink a bit (down to closer to 5'5"). He does seem like a genuinely nice guy. RisingForce says on 10/Nov/08
5'6.5" peak, 5'5.5" now. He wore lifts on Happy Days and could pass for a legit 5'8" man at times on the show. Anonymous says on 9/Oct/08
He looks 5'5" to me. RisingForce says on 18/Sep/08
5'6.5" peak
5'5.5" now
He still looks 5'6" next to Mamun but if he claimed to be 5'5.5" now then he's not any taller than that. Socom says on 11/Sep/08
sf,
Your attempt at sarcasm fails miserably. 5'5 and 3/4 is a perfectly reasonable guess. Anonymous says on 10/Sep/08
He looks very small. 5'5" barefoot (5'6" peak) sf says on 10/Sep/08
No no - he's 5'5.534283695..." Socom says on 9/Sep/08
He is still close to 5'6, around 5'5.75 these days. leonari says on 9/Sep/08
Oh please!! 5'7" is so out of Resch for the Fonz. Also when he was
Young... howie day says on 8/Sep/08
looks 5'5 Mamun says on 8/Sep/08
Here is a big secret I am going to share with you my good posters here . If
you want to make a taller person look closer to your height , then take the
picture from an angle above the taller person's head . I can bet my life
that from this angle , the taller person's height would look much closer to
yours . The person taking this photo was standing on a stage ! If this
picture was taken from the ground , you would have noticed an even more of
a height difference ! Try and take some pictures the way I had just described
here ! You will see a difference !
Regards
Mamun leonari says on 8/Sep/08
I agree Lego! Again even in his prime nothing above a flat 5'6". Today below. Brad says on 8/Sep/08
5' 6" when I met him. I don't think he wears lifts. On "Happy Days" he did. Donatello says on 7/Sep/08
I'd give this guy 5'5" maybe a little bit over. I know hes definately not 5'6" though. I stand 5'6" and I don't look this short next to a 5'8" guy. RisingForce says on 7/Sep/08
Sorry I missed that Danimal. I guess he's 5'5.5" now, no reason to lie and say he's shorter than he is. He looks taller there though.
5'5.5" now and 5'6.5" peak seems fair. Leung says on 7/Sep/08
Given that Winkler looks midget next to Mamun it’s safe to assume that his footwear is normal. sf says on 7/Sep/08
Well, hell, I'm just over 5'6" - how come I'm not getting laid by the Polaskey Twins all the time or how come I can't start a jukebox with my fist? Sid says on 7/Sep/08
The fonz I used watch him on happydays in the 70's he's my idol AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GO SIT ON IT Danimal says on 6/Sep/08
RisingForce says on 5/Sep/08
Looks 5'6 1/2" with Mamun's posture is worse. I give him 5'6.5" peak and 5'6" now. I can't see nearly 3" between Mamun and Winkler.
Did you read what I wrote??? He is on youtube stating that he is 5'5.5" on the today show. It was for the happy days reunion. What's up with upgrading everyone? Mamun says on 6/Sep/08
Thanks for all your kind remarks ! I still had my usual shoes with 0.75 "
of soles and it looks that Henry almost has the same . But I am not quit
sure what he my be wearing inside as the perpose of lifts are not to be
seen in the General public !
Regards
Mamun A-Bomb says on 6/Sep/08
That is a good photo! Lynn says on 6/Sep/08
Mamun,
another great pic.
What kind of shoes did you both have? Anonymous says on 6/Sep/08
I agree, He only looks 5'5" max. His peak was around 5'6" There is a clear 3 inch height difference. RisingForce says on 6/Sep/08
Antron says on 6/Sep/08
Tallest Henry looks there is 5'5"
What picture are you looking at? The top of Henry's head comes halfway up Mamun's forehead. Antron says on 6/Sep/08
Tallest Henry looks there is 5'5" RisingForce says on 5/Sep/08
Looks 5'6 1/2" with Mamun's posture is worse. I give him 5'6.5" peak and 5'6" now. I can't see nearly 3" between Mamun and Winkler. Danimal says on 5/Sep/08
Was on the Today Show for his Happy Days reunion and stated that he was 5'5.5". leonari says on 5/Sep/08
mhhh. He recently said 5'5.5" Rob. I really doubt he ever was a full 5'6". I think he always was a mere 5'5.5" and now at his age has come to accept his real height . Look at the Mamun pic!! Mamun has over two inches on the Fonz plus Henry is pulling a " Stallone" on Mamun... miko says on 5/Sep/08
5"5.5 seems spot on. Brad says on 2/Sep/08
I actually asked Winkler last year how tall Sly was. He said "I don't know". All the usual suspects on this site were pissed, but; that was his answer. I'm sure he knows, just above him. Anonymous says on 15/Aug/08
Ed Kline,
Yeah I just saw "The Lord's of Flatbush" Stallone does wear biker type boots in it and sometimes it seemsed he had lifts in them as well, but there are a couple of scenes where he's wearing casual shoes and that's an eye opener, 'cause in those scens he's about 1" taller than Winkler at best, making him around 5'7" tall :-) I think this is the only movie which shows that Stallone is in the 5'7" to 5'8" MAX range. No one will beleive this until they watch this movie. Ed Kline says on 29/Jul/08
Seems Winkler ( being solidly known at 5'6) might be a gateway to how tall Stallone really is. They did a movie together called 'The Lords of Flatbush' back in 1974 before Stallone was famous or had any say in who was cast around him. Might not even be wearing lifts back then, I got to find a copy and see. eww says on 13/May/08
"how it is" started off sensible, and then threw a curve ball and ended about as stupid as you can get. There is no correlation between body size and penis size. Your body size is determined by bone structure and muscle mass, which is predetermined by genetics, enviornment, health, etc. A penis is an organ. It has nothing to do with your bones and muscles. Bigger men do not have bigger kidneys, etc. It never ceases to amaze me how many ignorant people are out there. Oh, and another thing, penis size has nothing to do with race, only genetics. clark says on 20/Jan/08
Appears more than a 4 inch diff there--look at the diff in eye height. Sorry Fonzie......you still da man. sf says on 13/Jan/08
Did you ever notice just about all the guys on Happy Days were short, especially the tough guys. Carmine, The Big Ragusso (however it's spelled) on Laverne and Shirley couldn't have been taller than 5'3" or 5'4". Squiggy is only around 5'4". Mr. C around 5'8".... Arnold, Pat Morita, maybe 5'3"... Anonymous says on 9/Jan/08
Have you ever looked close at his shoes in a happy day's episode? Total Herman Munster boots, they look custom made, at least 3 inches, maybe more. And it was'nt just a heel, they went that high all the way across from heel to toe. George H. says on 9/Jan/08
I heard him claim 5'6.5" in his heyday on a TV interview, back in the seventies. how it is says on 9/Jan/08
Save the bs. People say being tall is important because that is what women notice first. Well that is true, but only because you stick out more. Women also notice really fat people first too, not because they like them better, simply because they stick it more - duh. Not because they are automatically dominant. I've met so many 6-2+ pushovers it's unreal. As for being a better fighter automatically - lol. Growing up I had two very good friends, one was 6-3 with a good build, the other 5-5 with a good build ( by good I mean not skinny or fat, just husky/normal. I watched my 5-5 buddy make 6-3 a few times, and no, not from teasing him, because he beat him up. You see the only reason a taller guy has an advantage in a organized fight is because of their reach, but if you can get inside that reach and take them to the ground, the tall guy is in big trouble. It all comes down to natural ability and aggression. As for penis size and height, a 6-6 guy on average will be about 1 inch bigger on average then a 5-4 guy, so any heights in between there the amount is trivial. STOP BEING BRAINWASHED BY SOCIETY!!! Start thinking for yourselves. Russ says on 5/Oct/07
I literally bumped into Henry Winkler, face to face, way back in 1975. It was inside the Roxy nightclub in Los Angeles. We looked at each other and we both said "excuse me" at the same time. I was 5'9" at that time and Mr. Winkler was at least 2 inches shorter, maybe 3. I believe he had had two female companions that night, which goes to show you that a man's height is not an issue with everyone. sam says on 2/Sep/07
henry is slouching here, its pretty obvious when looking at the picture TJ says on 6/Jun/07
Does look to be struggling with 5'5 in that pic. Jon Doe says on 21/May/07
Why is it all you people think it's how tall you are that will make you a better fighter? I mean c'mon there is about a million 5'6 guys out there, my grandfather was 5'6, my gym teacher is 5'6, my guitar teacher is 5'6,and my sister's boyfriend is 5'6.And it's way easier to build muscle when you're shorter I should know I'm only 5'4.The only thing that sucks about being my height is that you're practacally screwed trying to get girls.It seems like as long as you're taller than 5'4 in school then you can still get a girlfriend and being a nice guy and trying your best to be interesting doesn't mean ****.I even have a half sister who I met that said some **** like "he's so small though..." and I was like what the hell did that mean? Her father is even shorter than me thats what was really funny.Anyway it's a good thing they invented drugs. CJ says on 4/Apr/07
I love this guy, does it really matter how tall "The Fonz" is? dave says on 19/Mar/07
Lmao. A 5'6'' tough guy - could only be the 1970's. Brad says on 9/Dec/06
I still have my unopened bottle in box of "Fonz Bubblebath" I want signed by him. Yeah, I know, I'm a loser. I admit it. "Mr. Winkler could you sign your bubblebath"? Padraig says on 4/Nov/06
In 1977 Daily News said "I'm only five foot six" Dr. Flem says on 28/Oct/06
His GIGANTIC head certainly boosts his height up, he has the body of a bloke who is 5ft3! I'm still not sure than he is 5ft5, awesome dude though, I love him in Waterboy Anonymous says on 21/Oct/06
Use that scan of Madonna for B.S.ing for dates. I'm telling you it would work miracles. The last date I went on was because of that scan I had. An 11 on a 10 scale in Salt Lake City. Blind date set up. Anonymous says on 3/Oct/06
sf - oh ok. I thought you were saying fonzie was 5'9. my bad. Brad says on 19/Sep/06
5' 6" is short for a guy his age. I hate being tall. I've said that before. I'd rather be 6' 2" and blend in. Impressive? What's it got me? I've been on maybe 2 dates in my life. What life? I'm the biggest loser going. leonari says on 18/Sep/06
Yeah TJ is right: BRAD take your discriminating bull somewhere else . Fool! Bringing others down was not Rob's intention when creating this site. GET A LIFE... TJ says on 17/Sep/06
I've noticed on a few occasions Brad that you seem to have a pretty negative and patronising attitude towards short people and take huge delight in the fact that you are tall - as if that's some kind of impressive achievement! Get a life man! Brad says on 16/Sep/06
2" shorter than a 5' 8" person, man that's short for a guy. He must have worn massive boot heel as Fonz. I bet Chachi could have whupped Fonz. J. says on 14/Sep/06
Yeah, Gallo's over-the-top absurdity is pretty much his odd brand of art-house satire. He paints himself as an unapologetic racist and sexist but he used to hang out with a lot of the rappers. He even appeared in a Jay-Z video. Editor Rob says on 8/Sep/06
Fresno Bee, 1998 he said "I was really looking for the six-foot area, but I stayed at the five-foot-six-and-a-half mark" JMG says on 7/Sep/06
Forensic- the bloke behind him is probably slightly taller. sf says on 8/Aug/06
Wcstats - you misread my e-mail. I said RICHIE, Ron Howard, said he was only 5'9" on the show, not Fonzie. I was responding to Editor Rob's comment that Ron Howard has been described as 5'10". Yes, I've heard and read everywhere that Henry Winkler is about 5'6"..I'm the "anonymous" who said he read an article where Winkler described himself as a "5'6" Jewish guy"... Brad says on 6/Aug/06
Frank2 wins the prize: 5' 6" and one of the nicest people in the biz. Wcstats says on 2/Jun/06
sf- by the way i did see that episode of happy days. It was Richie that said he was 5'9 not the Fonz. Henry winkler in real life is a modest guy and a smart one at that too. I heard he got a masters at yale. He even said himself he was a bit on the short side around 5'6. He does look a few inches shorter than sandler on waterboy so i say 5'6 to 5'6 1/2 is right. Still , one of the coolest guys in my book even if he is only 5'6 1/2 Dave says on 18/Mar/06
I was standing about 5-6 feet away from Henry Winkler on the set of Monte, a very short lived tv series back in the early 1990s. I am 5'10. Id say he was easily 3.5 inches shorter than me. So i would put him at around 5'6 1/2 tall. sf says on 9/Mar/06
Rob, maybe - but he mentions his height as 5'9" on Happy Days in a very early episode where they are making fake ID's. He even challenges Potsie, who says he's 5'10", telling Potsie that he is not taller than he (Richie) is...
[Editor Rob: yes, just described at 5ft 10 in the past in a book, same book that had spielberg as 5ft 10 ;)...of course Howard never looked it. I bet quite a few people who bumped into the fonz away from that show were surprised how short he looked.] Anonymous says on 8/Mar/06
Even Winkler, himself, described himself as a "5'6" Jewish guy" in an article I read. He didn't look that short on Happy Days cause he wore boots and everyone else leaned closer to the shorter side - Richie 5'9", Howard 5'8", etc.
[Editor Rob: I think Howard has been mentioned as high as 5ft 10 in the past...] Frank2 says on 8/Mar/06
Correctamundo! He's exactly 5'6". He's also one of the nicest people in the biz. CelebHeights Editor says on 18/Dec/05
In a 1999 article, it mentioned, "the 5ft 6.5in of his mentor [Henry Winkler]" sam says on 18/Nov/05
I saw him in the lobby after a play he did with Jason Ritter years ago. He was very short in person: 5'6" sounds about right. Russ says on 17/Nov/05
I bumped into Henry Winkler (literally) in the Roxy club, Hollywood , way back in the 70's. I'm barely 5'9". I was kinda surprised that he was at least a few inches shorter than me. But apparantly his lack of height didn't matter. He had 2 women with him! |
