I wouldn't recommend the Johnny Cash "diet" of living off of amphetamines! BTW, I would also mention that Johnny got quite heavy in his post-drug days, probably well north of 200 pounds (230+)

155 pounds at 6'1.5"? I'm struggling to get down to 190!

Definitely 6'2 and broad shouldered. His best play was unquestionably in Columbo. Human and so realistic actor if any! A mountain in this episode and the most beautiful country voice ever!

I think 187 is correct.

@scotty Not at all, man. Not at all.

On the Cash-Dylan pic, consider Cash's posture. He appears to be slouched and possibly bending his knees. Dylan's hair is very high, too. Also, in Dylan's biography, he says when he met Cash, he felt like he was looking up at a tree.

johnny cash is a solid 6.2 or maybe taller but he is not shorter than 6.2 when he got old he become smaller but in his young days he was definitely 6.2

Sam says on 21/Jul/11
There's also a picture with Dylan where Cash (with his head up and arms around Dylan and another guy) looks nearly a head taller (can be found in the photos from the CD cover of Cash's The Essential Recordings 1955-1983).

I'd say Cash might very well have been 6'2 in his younger days, judging from the picture where he is standing next to Elvis (link below). But if you look closely Johnny has a smaller, more rounder head then Elvis, who has an oval-shaped head. Could be just an illusion. Elvis height is said have been 5'11.5 but it varies depending on sources.

As scotty mentioned the pic with Johnny Cash next to Bob Dylan they look pretty close in height. Or should we say the height difference is too small between a 5'7 guy and a 6'2 guy. He said 6'1 and a half himself so maybe he was truly 6'1?

In 1994 Johnny Depp met Johnny Cash during one of his shows. Depp is said to be somewhere around 5'8 or 5'9, and when standing next to Cash they look pretty much the same height. So Cash must have been just about 6' or so at that point or Depp was wearing some kind of elevator boots. Not sure. Check the video link of it here: Click Here

Dylan is listed here as 5'7" and Cash as 6'2" but they look a lot closer in height here: Click Here

Looked around 6' with boots judging by the way he looked next to Bob Dylan you wis listed as 5'7"

Sam says on 22/Feb/11
He wrote 6'1.5" in autobiography and 6'2" in an original song ("I'm Gonna Sit on the Porch and Pick on My Old Guitar"), so I'd advocate splitting the difference and going with 6'1.75"!

I met John lots of times in Dublin Ireland he was 6.2 plus the boots, he was one of the greatest men I have ever met, he and June ware a joy to meet I still love and miss them both, we have there music to enjoy and the fond memories lol John.
