ANDREA[ITA] says on 8/Jan/12
Yeah, from only that pic, what would you give him? 5'7-5'8 range?
[Editor Rob: if he has worse posture than winkler he could be nearer 5ft 8]
ANDREA[ITA] says on 7/Jan/12
Rob, how tall you think this guy is?
Click Here
He claimed 180 but i always thought that's ridicolous because he always looks small on television and i think he's just 170-172 range! What do you think?
[Editor Rob: 180 is a big round up by several inches.] Silent d says on 3/Jan/12
5 foot 5. Sam says on 7/Dec/11
I've seen him fairly up close in person and Rob's listing is roughly accurate. ray says on 30/Nov/11
makes sense. his son max winkler is about 5'4" ANDREA[ITA] says on 5/Nov/11
so rob what you think?
[Editor Rob: the tall guy's head is tilted down most of the time towards henry. He could be in 190-2 range, 193 I don't know.] ANDREA[ITA] says on 4/Nov/11
Rob how tall you think the guy that gives him that award is? Click Here
he claimed 193 but he never looked that tall! he looks more like in the 188-190 range! this is from 1989 so maybe henry winkler was still 5'6... you see 25 cms between them? Vegas says on 2/Sep/11
if i am failing, explain to me then why paul wight says what he says at the start of this clip then Click Here Legend says on 27/Aug/11
Vegas is failing on this page. Love it. Alex says on 24/Aug/11
Lol Mamun doesn't look too happy in that pic. Cranberries (18m, 193cm) says on 18/Aug/11
This site tries to be as accurate as possible, Satchy. Half an inch does make a difference, too... Because I rarely see people taller than me, when I see someone half an inch taller I sometimes estimate them at 196cm or more. satchy says on 9/Aug/11
lmao why not list him at 5ft 5. does that cm play an important role? Vegas says on 24/Jul/11
well danimal were claiming big show was 6'9 before i started here, in fact one of your posts where you had all your estimates from jan 2006 was still on hillbilly jims page until about 9 months ago
tell me this what exactly am i being accused of being biased against?? or do you just love using that word because you can't use "kid" with me, i met the man many times over the last 10 years and since day 1 on here i have estimated him at 6'11, you have people on andres page saying wight was 6'10 in the 1990s, you have captain nobody whom you praised and said JT should try and follow his lead creating photo comparisons where wight is no more than 4 inches taller than john tenta in 1995 and no more than 6 inches taller than jim duggan same year but strangely you don't say a word to them.....
in that photo with winkler he isn't coming out more than 6'11 if winkler is 5'6 there so either way, actually looks more 6'10 in that photo Danimal says on 24/Jul/11
Vegas says on 20/May/11
winkler and 6'11 paul wight in 1998 Click Here
INSANE to claim Big Show was only 6'11" in 1998. This shows how biased you are. Vegas says on 23/Jul/11
oh you mean like viscera who has wrestled longer than wight?? or do you mean giant silva who is ten years wights senior
paul wight out of his own mouth on his brand new dvd, "i was the same height in college as i am today" i stood beside the man in august 2001, august 2002, march 2006, march 2010 and november 2010, he hasn't lost anything or if he has you are talking mms, he had me by exactly a full head each time, i don't need your lesson thanks very much though Legend says on 22/Jul/11
@Vegas
I guess I have to teach you a lesson again. How about big giant fat guys that wrestle as their career lose height a lot faster. Happy? LOL Vegas says on 22/Jul/11
Legend says on 21/Jul/11
Big guys lose height a lot faster.

tell that to 77 year old bill russell, still a solid 6'9 imo Click Here Click Here Click Here
tell that to 64 year old kareem still over 7ft Click Here Legend says on 21/Jul/11
Big Show was never over 6'11 in his life. He's probably not even 6'10 these days. Big guys lose height a lot faster. Vegas says on 20/Jul/11
Clay says on 19/Jul/11
You know damn well Big Show was nearer 7'0'' in 1998 Vegas..

so he lost height between november 1998 and my first meeting with him in august 2001?? Clay says on 19/Jul/11

A picture with this guy? Are you kidding me? The Fonz is one of the coolest guys in history. Lenad is sexy says on 11/Jun/11
looks 2-2.5 inches shorter than Manum Ally says on 28/May/11
oh boy he is is really quite short for a guy! but he sure doesn't seem it when you just look at him! good proportions =) devilsrain says on 24/May/11
about 5 months ago I walked right past him on 21st in manhattan. He was my mothers height 5'4. Im 6'2 and I almost missed him. Granted he was slouching when he walked so ill give him 5'5. But christ that was disturbing. I had always thought the fonz was at least 6 feet. Vegas says on 20/May/11

Henry Winkler is 5'6 1/2" tall.
He claims 5'5.5" now.. Out of HIS OWN mouth.... Danimal says on 16/Apr/11
Out of his own mouth:
Peak Height - 5'6.5"
Current Height - 5'5.5" renee says on 14/Apr/11
Aaaaay his the worlds best actur ever it dont matter how tall he is asd says on 8/Apr/11
a little over 5'4'' max Rikashiku says on 2/Apr/11
Ayyy. Man he has gotten old but he is still cool to see on the screen. I'd have pegged him at 5'6" too in the happy days.
So Short is cool, we all want to be short! Ayyy Josh B says on 1/Apr/11
Will, maybe once yeah, but definately not now. If you anything about height you can see that 5"5.5 is correct now. Will says on 30/Mar/11
Henry Winkler is 5'6 1/2" tall. voicelessdentalfricative says on 30/Mar/11
I like his mirror image posture Russ says on 17/Mar/11
Those photos above look fake. The lighting is different on each face

He's still the coolest guy ever despite his height.
ye, this guy rules. love to see him on screen! Zachary Strobel says on 9/Mar/11
He's still the coolest guy ever despite his height. Legend says on 5/Jan/11
5'6.5 peak, 5'5 now. Jennifer says on 5/Jan/11
I KNOW the answer to this question because, "today" I just saw the Fonzie statue in Milwaukee. I am practically the same height at the statue, 5'5".
If you go to You Tube and type in Fonzie Statue, Milwaukee, WI, you can see the clip of Mr. Winkler standing next to the statue. Hence, 5'5"!! krazy krippled! says on 1/Jan/11
The Fonz was 5'7, but Henry Winkler was at max 5'6, he's always been a tad shorter than average. RisingForce says on 2/Dec/10
jtm says on 29/Nov/10
stallone was 2 inches taller than winkler in lord of flatbush but he had a footwear advantage.
Uh, they were both in boots, except for actually when Stallone's character goes to get a ring for his girlfriend and I don't think he was in boots in that scene and he's still dressed that way in a scene when the rest are dressed in their normal clothes.
I don't remember a particularly good scene for comparing their heights, if the movie is on youtube can someone post a link to a scene that's good for comparing their heights. jtm says on 29/Nov/10
stallone was 2 inches taller than winkler in lord of flatbush but he had a footwear advantage. TJ says on 28/Nov/10
Mr Kaplan, Winkler himself has said this height so it's not a case of anyone here making stuff up. If you think he is the same height as Stallone, maybe you should watch the movie they made together called Lord of Flatbush. Mr. Kaplan says on 25/Oct/10
real deal says on 7/Oct/10
People...the fonz was never 5'6!! He was never that short! At least 5'7, maybe 5'8. Like Cruise or Stallone, I don't understand why people are trying so hard to make them shorter than they really are????

Is visual evidence enough for you? devilsrain says on 24/Oct/10
Passed him on the street a few days ago. Came up to my chest. 5'6 sounds right Dave says on 22/Oct/10
I met Mr. Winkler back in 2000/2001? when he was appearing at the Kennedy Center... If I were to judge him by character, I'd say about 6'5", but if just by physical size, I'd say 5'2" to 5'3"... my wife is that height and it's darn close! I'm only 5'10 1/2" myself and I towered over him. |
