Johnny Depp Height
Johnny Depp height: 5 ft 9 in (175 cm)

US Actor from Pirates of the Caribbean and Secret Window. One interviewer clearly thought he wasn't the 5ft 10 Depp has always got listed at (and was listed here at that height): "Its strange because although Johnny Depp is actually only 5' 7", he gives the illusion of being really tall." - Sometimes Depp can appear shorter.

First of all everybody has rob morrow wrong at 5'8/5'8.75.
I know him and he's a bit over 5'7. My guess is 171/172 cm.
Depp has only 1 inch max above him.
Check the trailer posted by trueheight at 00.30
fredric says on 7/Nov/09
5.7ish
watch the interview with Rosy O'donnell. hes just alittle bit taller. i mean CMON 5.9? are you blind?
Shawn says on 6/Nov/09
Depp has you all fooled. We've gathered Depp and Sheen look about the same height. I remember both Depp and Sheen's Glenn pics vividly. They were AT MOST an inch and a half taller than Glenn, who barely scrapes 5'6 and three quarters.

Throw Depp on a stadiometer, I'll guarantee you he won't hit 5'9. 5'8.5 absolute top of the scale.
miser says on 6/Nov/09
depp's about 5-10
trueheight says on 5/Nov/09
Depp is at the very least 5'9 if we are to believe that Rob Morrow is 5'8.75 (listed here) in the 1985 film Private Resort, Depp looks about 1.5in taller - and there are a ton of scenes where both are barefoot. Here's a trailer I got from Youtube:

The only reason why I think some people may perceive Depp as short is b/c he has a terrible slouch.
zyx says on 25/Oct/09
Click Here / slightly taller than 5 ft 8' Noel Gallagher, no difference in footwear. 5"9' seems to be true
Rubini says on 24/Oct/09
Yes,"RogG" is right, like i usually say it's all about body proportions and an important factor is the size of the head, i know it sounds really stupid but trust me, there are these kind of little things that make diference in height perception, i know it from my own experience, I'm around 6"00fts(1.82m-1.84m) and 172lbs(78kg) and i have an elegant frame and a small head, that can make me look taller than i am, you can see this same effect on Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Sung Kang, Brandon Lee(RIP),etc...

Daniel says on 22/Oct/09
Depp is a strange case, as is Ewan McGregor. They both look tallish, but other actors who are close to the same height, like Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, Paul Rudd, etc look like they are way shorter. How is this even possible when they are the same height?

I think body type plays a major role in this. I think Johnny is of a lean type, while I would say f.ex. Penn or Rudd are more stocky. Of course good proportions and posture are also important to be perceived as taller. Also if you are in a good shape it doesn't do you harm either. I say it's a kind of universal thing, the more stocky build you are, the shorter you tend to look.

sussan says on 21/Oct/09
5,8 and a bit for depp,i know becuause i have seen him in person more than once,same heigth as me.
Joi says on 19/Oct/09
I'm an ex-model who knew J "very well" back in the day. I am just under 5'9 and he was a little taller than me barefoot. Case closed.
burby says on 14/Oct/09
Take off his hat and he's 5'8" next to Sheen.
GF says on 14/Oct/09
I'd give Johnny approx 5-9.5 morning height and 5-9 (or a little less)at night. The reason he looks taller than 5-10 could be because of footwear, position in the camera in relations of others of known heights or camera angle. The reason he can look shorter than 5-9 is because of the same reason. He can be slouching, at an awkward angle next to others of known heights etc. Nobody ALWAYS looks their height so you have to stop looking at pictures that are not fair and only focus on those that do not offer reasonable doubt. He is 5-9 plus for sure. Like I said, 5-10 isn't much of a stretch and I'd level at 5-9.5.
Fritz the Cat says on 13/Oct/09
People taking that scene with Theron seriously need to remember that it's hollywood, and Theron IS wearing a cape to cover her legs and feet most of the time.
dave says on 13/Oct/09
Their goes everyone with the Theron theory,their are a number of people that have meet johnny and all have said 5,8.As we know movies and people and angles can be tricky to thier respective heigths,my fatehr is like over to inches taller than me but in home movies we look the same heigth sometimes.
Aratirion says on 12/Oct/09
@Bogie; Could you please stop posting that thing all the time and instead give a constructive comment! By the way; Rob G has just given proof that Johnny ain't under 5'9. Would never look that tall next to 5'10 Theron...
Dave says on 12/Oct/09
I guess in the charlie sheen johnny Depp pic we cant see footwear advantage,johnny is more like to wear a thick boot kinda shoe then sheen.
Bogie says on 11/Oct/09
Aratirion has a bias
TELLEM says on 11/Oct/09
they can't explain it because depp is a legit 5'9.
Rob G says on 11/Oct/09
Barefoot scene with Theron peole! Everybody forgets that he looked similar in height to her. Until somedy explains why he didn't look under 5'9" next to Theron, I will say he is clearly a 5'9" man.
Aratirion says on 11/Oct/09
Couldn't find it. I only know this picture: Click Here Doesn't seem like an inch to me. 5'8 is too low. No way he's under 5'9. Most likely 5'9.5. Just like Charlie I'd say...
Dave says on 11/Oct/09
Once again another indication of depp being 5,8,just type in at you tube=johhny depp star,thier is a slide show of johnny depp and charlie sheen,johhny looks a full inch shorter than 5,9 charlie sheen.Once again johnny is 5,8!
Shawn says on 9/Oct/09
Depp may be in the background, but he's also got the footwear advantage ;)

5'8.5" for Depp.
Dave says on 9/Oct/09
DArius i think youre posting in the wrong section;)
DArius says on 9/Oct/09
It thinks it's pretty insane how someone like Tom Cruise who is 5'7. Wich really is not that short. Gets bashed all over Hollywood and by fans how short he is. When Johnny Depp who is a sex icon like many tall Celebs is only a inch taller than tom Cruise at 5'8. I mean common people. go get a ruler and find out how big a inch is. And then lengthen your thumb and index finger to a inch and place that above you head. WOW! Look how much taller that is compared to your height.... oh wait.. You can barely even notice. So tell me how bashing Tom Cruise makes any since.
Random Person says on 8/Oct/09
5'9 seems right to me.
TELLEM says on 8/Oct/09
depp is in the background
martini says on 8/Oct/09
I love this picture
Click Here
Leo looks 6' and Johnny looks 5'8"
Vin says on 7/Oct/09
Okay Daily Vanessa might be just 5,3 on a good day but johnny ain't a full 6 inches taller,i give him a strong 5,8 nothing more.
Daily says on 6/Oct/09
@Vin, Vanessa is 5'3 and not 5'1 (Big difference)
Johnny much taller than her when the're both walking on flat shoes.
I think 5'9 is correct voor Depp.
Fritz the Cat says on 4/Oct/09
There are so many factors when it comes to judge someones height, that it's almost impossible to be certain unless you've used certain measurement tools. Not only the thickness of the shoes or soles, but what side of the curb you're standing on, was it a 100% flat surface? Probably not, and so on. To me, it doesn't really matter if its one inch higher or lower. I have a hard time seeing Depp as under 5'7, but then again, I could see him as a 5'8. I think men over 5'8 get away by the inch to avoid being labeled, described or thought of as short. Depp could easily be a just a little bit over 5'8 and therefore avoid the short tag that fellow actors under 5'7 often get.
Joe says on 3/Oct/09
I met him last year and I'm 5'7. He's a little shorter than me. maybe the same height but he slouches.
Felix says on 2/Oct/09
RisingForce - About Donnie Brasco, and that Pacino is wearing the big shoes, you have no idea what you are talking about. Johnny is wearing the cowboy boots, Al is not. Look at the scene after Johnny and Henche have been to the shrink, when they are walking to the car, he is not much taller than her.
RisingForce says on 1/Oct/09
Pacino wears lifts which is why Depp didn't tower him. Check out his shoes in Donnie Brasco.
kissmit says on 24/Sep/09
I know this has nothing to do with J Depp, but i was wondering why your site has no listings on fashion designers, like Tom Ford and Giorgio Armani. I saw Armani at an airport once where he walked right in front of me. I'm 5'4" and was wearing flats, and Armani appeared to be around 5'6" max. Let's get a page on Armani, shall we? I mean, here is a guy who has had pics taken next to oodles of celebs like that fellow shorty, Wynona Ryder. You gotta get the goods on that dude, Rob. Although I noticed that a lot of his shots are taken when he's seated. I wonder if that is a purposeful stratagem on his part, since he'll always look way shorter than most of his celeb clients if he were standing, rather than sitting next to them.
Grezzi says on 23/Sep/09
"He gives the illusion of being really tall" most of those Hollywood actors are really short.
Zac says on 23/Sep/09
Oh by the way Depp is not 5,8 like stated on celebrity heigths,that would mean that i am 5,9 and that is just not the case.
burby says on 22/Sep/09
Antonio says on 19/May/09
Fritz, that's a good pic of Depp & Pacino. If Johnny stands straight he is very close to 2.5" taller than Al.

If Al is still 5-6, that makes Depp 5-8.5". It is likely that Al is under 5-6.

Yep, Al was/is under 5'6". 5'5.5" Al Pacino plus 2.5 inches equals 5'8" for Johnny Depp.
Zac says on 19/Sep/09
Depp once came into my work where i worked as a waiter at roccos,im 5,8 he was exactly the same height as me and we were both wearing trainers.
burby says on 18/Sep/09
Rob G says on 18/Sep/09
Burby, I think Rising might have commented on adding an inch to Depp's height not Glenn's. Back to topic I think Depp is about 5'9", the case may be made that he is a tad taller or shorter, but I think listing here is spot on.

Well, I wouldn't add an inch on either to be honest. I think Depp is more 5'8" flat, with bad posture making him appear 5'7" Wasn't much taller than Glenn.
Rob G says on 18/Sep/09

RisingForce says on 14/Sep/09
Add another inch and you're right Brad. Why you keep insisting Glenn is 5'6.5" in all photos is beyond me, though. Especially since that picture with Depp was taken when it was light out and even at his lowest Glenn measured 5'6.7".

Glenn has never been 5'7.5" in his life. G gets crushed again by another 5'8" actor......
Vin says on 16/Sep/09
Have look at Depp with his partner vanessa which is 5 foot 1,she always wears very low shoes and depp is always wearing chunky soles and he is not much taller then her!its not a sign of a 5,9 man.Johhny is so a very strong 5,8.
Rob G says on 15/Sep/09
I'm with Tellem, Depp really didn't look under 5'9" mark in that barefoot scene with Charlize Theron.
Felix says on 15/Sep/09
Brad, Yeah Johnny had 2" on Glenn with Cowboy boots on.
TELLEM says on 14/Sep/09
depp is a solid 5'9 man.

Had 2" on a 5' 6.5" Glenn. He's 5' 8.5".
Fritz the Cat says on 9/Sep/09
Next to Leelee Sobieski in Public Enemies he looks a bit shorter than her, and there he's even wearing lifty shoes, so I think 5'9 is about right.
miser says on 7/Sep/09
5'9.5 minimum, straightened out.
Aleks says on 6/Sep/09
Depp is 5'9" tops.
miser says on 6/Sep/09
he looked 5'10 in Nick of Time, Edward Scissor Hands and in other films. Compare that to 5 ft 8.5 in (174 cm) Milo Ventimiglia, for example, that guy never ever looked as tall as depp did@!
Dave says on 6/Sep/09
I would like to remind evryone that not judge depps heigth in movies becuase in every movie he is in he has like 3 inch heels on!look at those pics with him with fans at premiers ect to judge his heigth,even then he always is wearing thick sole shoes.
James S. says on 6/Sep/09
He looked 5'10 in Sleepy Hollow and Pirates next to Orlando Bloom.
Dave says on 31/Aug/09
LOL to GF comment,more like he starts the day as a weak 5,9 and finishes the day as a 5,8 man.
GF says on 30/Aug/09
I think the comments were getting very accurate around late-July to early August. He's close to 5-10 morning height, and 5-9 evening height. We can safely avg him in around 176-177 cm barefoot.

Aratirion says on 26/Aug/09
Wow, wow, sorry mate but I thought I found the right ones since they were exactly how you described them. If there is one second or another just before or after those pics where everything could be seen then I'm sorry. I just thought i found them. No need to get angry.
Anonymous says on 25/Aug/09
that is how arat rolls. the guy has a bias.
Anonymous says on 24/Aug/09
you did not find pictures of the scene...those are terrible pics..those stills DO NOT SHOW EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED.

what I mentioned took place for maybe a second or two...perhaps thats why?

Anyone who actually watches the movie should go to that scene and look up what I said.
Aratirion says on 23/Aug/09
I found pictures of the scene. Click Here
You can't see their shoes, the angle is not the best and he seems to be about 4 inches taller. Not really useful.
Aratirion says on 22/Aug/09
Ok, thanks, got to look that up, i have the dvd at home...
Anonymous says on 21/Aug/09
I dont have the movie anymore (rental) but it was perfect when I saw it. if anyone has this movie, its a scene where depp and lewis get ice cream and stand in front of the car. You see from a perfect angle both standing up head to toe.
Aratirion says on 21/Aug/09
@jdiesel86;
probably that's because no one has actually seen this still of him and her in such a perfect angle; I mean i've seen the movie but that's useless without a screenshot of that particular scene ...
jdiesel86 says on 20/Aug/09
again, the best evidence is in the movie whats eating gilbert grape. Nobody seems to have anything to say about this.

Johnny depp was in a perfect angle standing right next to julliet lewis. She is listed as 5'6. Not more. He was only maybe 3 inches taller than her. the top of her head came to about his forehead or slightly higher. She was wearing SANDALS. He was wearing BOOTS.
T.J. says on 17/Aug/09
If Johnny Depp is 5'9" he's the weakest 5'9" I've ever seen. I met him in Crown Point during the filming of Public Enemies since I live right near there, and I shook his hand. He looked like a weak 5'8" because I'm 5'9" and I was not alot, but somewhat taller than him.
Jamie says on 17/Aug/09
Haha, of course he seemed 5'9 in Public Enemies, look at his shoes - Click Here
Daniel says on 14/Aug/09
Rob G and Mathew -among many others here- are right. 1.75m minumum, 1.77m maximum for Johnny
Daniel says on 14/Aug/09
Depp looked 1.75m - 1.76m in Public Enemies, a movie I just watched last night.
Mathew says on 14/Aug/09
He's roughly 5'9", 5'10" is high for him 5'8" is low.
Rob G says on 14/Aug/09
5'9" - 5'9.5" is his range, solid 5'9"er, that barefoot picture with Theron says it all, he is max 0,5" shorter then her.
dave says on 13/Aug/09
why are you so negative tellem on others opinion,have you thought for a second the man just might be 5,8 and brandon just might be correct.
leonari says on 13/Aug/09
Frank2: Have you ever met Johnny Depp???
TELLEM says on 13/Aug/09
Felix says on 12/Aug/09
5'8 he is!

WRONG.
durrrr says on 13/Aug/09
i definitely believe 5-9, rarely looks taller and actually looks shorter a good amount of time
Aratirion says on 13/Aug/09
@Brandon; You got any source?
Felix says on 12/Aug/09
5'8 he is!
TELLEM says on 12/Aug/09
and where supposed to believe Brandon? post some actual evidence to back that statement up.
Dave says on 12/Aug/09
To reply to Brandons post,im not surprised!
Brandon says on 11/Aug/09
He is 5'8 checked out his police records. Guaranteed.
TELLEM says on 11/Aug/09
so that means johnny depp is 5'5 then
Dave says on 11/Aug/09
Elton john is listed here around the 5,6 mark,if you goggle johhny depp with elton john thier is a pic in images of them together,elton is probaly half a inch taller in that pic not sure what footwear elton john was wearing though.
TELLEM says on 10/Aug/09
172? LOL. the man is probably 5'10.
sash101 says on 10/Aug/09
In fear and loathing in Los Vegas when he gets pulled over by the Gary busey who is around 5"11. When Depp is standing by the Chev he's wearing flat shoes and yes he is slouching, but his hips aint any higher than mine on a car and Im 5"9. In this shot he is a lot shorter than Tom and granted Tom wouldv been wearing heeled boots he was still obviously taller. Johnny Depp would have to be about the same as me, maybe a fraction taller but not by bloody much! Id put him at 172cm at the most.
miser says on 9/Aug/09
Daniel, he ain't sooo far from 175cm... only about an inch. Remember Edward Scissor Hands? Did he look 5'9" in it? No more like 5'10". Of course there isn't any link between "face" and height, lol... but Carajillo is right saying that Depp's face wouldn't be out of place in latin america... that is because Depp has Cherokee ancestry.
this guy says on 8/Aug/09
take a look at miser's photos, particularly the one where deep is next to chow yun fat. he has to be 5'10" because chow yun fat is around 6'1" - 6'2"
Luke987 says on 8/Aug/09
Carajillo, are you implying face is related to height? Utter poppycock. I myself am 5'7 but look exactly like my grandfather on my mother's side who was 6'3 at his peak. You need a lesson in genetics my friend.
kirsty says on 7/Aug/09
i think that johnny's somewhere between 173 and 175 cm , 'cause in many movies and talk show's he seems be just like that .
Brad says on 6/Aug/09
Glenn said he was 2" taller than his "certain 5' 7.5" frame". Put 2" on 5' 6.5" (if that) and you get 5' 8.5" for Depp, probably lower with the Portman advantage.
Bogie says on 6/Aug/09
I don't think you can relie on Glenn, the guy inflated his own height by at least 1 inch so when he was comparing himself to Depp he had 5'8 as his personnal height when in fact he's 5'6.75.
Carajillo says on 6/Aug/09
He is the shortest guy in most films , basically all other guys look taller than him and 5.9 is average and being 5.9 would not give that impression, basically 5.8 or slighly below -5.8 is correct.There are many guys like him -physically speaking face/body- in latin america , they are small build. Google
for the pics with the Oasis guys in the 90s.
dave says on 6/Aug/09
Exactly what i am thinking Felix.
dave says on 6/Aug/09
Have you ever thought for a second that johhny wears lifts, yes he does not seem like the type who would wear them but who knows.
miser says on 5/Aug/09
Daniel, 1.75m is not absurdity... but it is pushing it ALOT... I mean, anyone who has seen this guy in 21 Jump Street, in Edward Scissor hands... knows that he simply ain't that short. But he isn't far away from 1.75m, it's like 3 cm away from that, maximum.
miser says on 5/Aug/09
LOL Felix, so glenn's word is only good when it serves to downgrade everybody's height? :-D Glenn also said Depp was 5'10"!
miser says on 5/Aug/09
glenn saw Depp in person quite a few times and said he is 5'10".
Daniel says on 5/Aug/09
miser, not even Glenn discarded the possibility that Depp is 1.75m. So I don't think it was nonsense what I wrote yesterday.
Felix says on 5/Aug/09
dave - Jerry Buckheimer isn't 5'8 first of all. Glenn met him I remember he said he even looked 5'5 to him. (Glenns words) Maybe 5'5 is a bit low, but I can assure you that Johnny is very near 5'8.
miser says on 5/Aug/09
"dave says on 5/Aug/09
Here jerry bruckheimer is listed as 5'8,i have two pics of jerry brukheimer with johhny depp,one pick jerry actually looks half a inch taller than depp and the other pic they look exactly the same height just wish i knew how to post them,so what does this tell us about depp heigth im thinking hes a strong 5'8 at very best that is of course if jerry bruckheimer is legit 5'8."

Blah blah blah, just wishful thinking, really... Johnny Depp slouches alot when he poses for pictures with Sean Penn, Jerry Bruckheimer types. Depending on the angle he may look a lot smaller:

Or much bigger:

Rarely if ever does he straighten out his body in pictures. He is closer to 5'10" than to 5'9".

miser says on 5/Aug/09
"Daniel says on 4/Aug/09
5'10'' (1.78m) seems a little too high for Johnny. I think 1.75m - 1.76m is the correct range."

Nonsense. In 21 Jump Street he looked a lot more like 5'10" than 5'9". Quite a few people who met him or saw him when younger said on this page that he could pass for 5'11". Now he looks more like 1.77m. Sometimes he looks less than that in pictures.
Dave says on 5/Aug/09
For those who want to see Jerry brukheimer with depp just GOGGLE Jerry brukheimer name and then go to images thier you will find a series of pics of depp and brukheimer together,you will be surprised.

Rob G says on 4/Aug/09
Dave says on 4/Aug/09
just curious Rob G what makes you think he is 5'9.25,just curious??,i think its a good estimate though.

Well, I'm actulally guessing here, he never struck me as a legit 5'10" guy, and was easily shoter then 5'10"ish Bloom but still he also didn't look far from Theron's height in their barefoot scene, an she is just shy of 5'10"
TELLEM says on 4/Aug/09
i'd agree that he probably is 5'10, 5'9.5 makes sense.
miser says on 4/Aug/09
Depp always looked 5'10" (about 1.78m) in 21 Jump Street and there were some tall guys in that show, but he never stood out as a midget. He's 5'9.5" to 5'10".
Dave says on 4/Aug/09
just curious Rob G what makes you think he is 5'9.25,just curious??,i think its a good estimate though.
Rob G says on 3/Aug/09
5'9.25"
Nik says on 3/Aug/09
Honestly 5'9" is pretty close. I still cant tell though if he is 5'9" or 5'9.5"
Daniel says on 2/Aug/09
In all his tenure in 21 Jump Street, Johnny Depp looked consistently 1.75m - 1.76m. Never looked short, but average.
dave says on 1/Aug/09
Depp is not as short as 5,8 and not as tall as 5,10 so he is anywhere between 5,8 1/2 and 5,9 1/2 he just has to be in between somewhere their i would state my life on that,but to be honest i don't think we will ever know truly for sure,but its fun guessing:)
RisingForce says on 1/Aug/09
The angle sucks, the ground looks suspect and that picture is useless. Depp is 5'9.5".
Jdiesel says on 31/Jul/09
Thats asuming she's 5'9. and you claim 5'9.75? How about this link

Click Here

she's got half inch flats, and penn probably has what? 2, 3 inches in those shoes? he's 5'8 and he looks slightly taller than her. sure the angles are bad but no1 can say he looks SHORTER than her. so what? she's almost 5'10 and he's what? 5'11 in that picture. yea right.
TELLEM says on 31/Jul/09
hey jdiesel, explain to me how he was at most a half inch shorter than 5'9.75 charlize theron barefoot?
Dave says on 31/Jul/09
just watched public enemies and semi enjoyed it not as good as i thought it would be anyways in that movie johhny seems a little shorter than every other male actor,ive seen the makings of that movie and johhny was wearing 3 inch plus heels!and hes way shorter that christian bale by a head in the jail cell scene.
RisingForce says on 31/Jul/09
Depp defintley didn't look short in Public Enemies. I stick to 5'9.5" for Depp. Look at him barefoot with Charlize Theron.
Jdiesel says on 30/Jul/09
no way...who cares about his shoulders. his slouching isn't severe enough to take away more than an inch. his legs are ram rod straight, even if he's lifting them up to walk.

on top of that, even with all this, his gf is CARRYING a baby..that can only impact how tall she can stand. And you can see, very clearly from all this that he is only, at most 4-5 inches taller than her. her head comes to about his mouth which is about 5 inches shorter than his height....making him at most 5'8, but i'll give 5'9 if you must. I really don't see it though. she's almost as tall as he.

not to mention they're both wearing similar shoes, unless she's making an incredible effort to hide her height here. I doubt that.

what does that pic prove? their walking, and depp has horrible posture.

It'll be interesting the day Rob takes a blue background picture with John Boy to settle things straight. Rob, you should get yourself a fisheye lens so we get a view of the shoes of these celebs ...in wide angle. ;)

he can look more 5'10 than 5'8, thats for sure.
dave says on 28/Jul/09
TELLEM thier is no way in this world he is 5'10,just goggle his name everyone is taller than him most times and he is not that much taller than all his 5"3 waif girlfriends,just not the signs of a barefoot 5"10 man,i will give you 5'10 with his very thick sole shoes that he so often wears.
Fritz the Cat says on 27/Jul/09
Jdiesel, I believe Leo was 19 at the time of Gilbert Grape, I think he grew a little bit after that.
TELLEM says on 27/Jul/09
what factors? hes 5'9 or 5'10.
dave says on 27/Jul/09
All factors leads to johhny depp being 5,8 1/2,basically a strong 5,8 not 5,9.
Jdiesel says on 26/Jul/09
actually....in the other scene with mary steenbergen or whatever her name is...she's wearing obvious heels that probably give her maybe 2 inches. in that scene she's head to head(or slightly taller) with johnny depp...and he's wearing boots as well(nothing exceedingly big). so he's obviously less than 5'10. and assuming his shoes give him more than an inch...i'd say he's shorter than 5'9.
Jdiesel says on 26/Jul/09
Another comment...this is again weird and from the same movie...

Juliett lewis is in the film and her height is listed as 5'6....she's in a scene standing exactly next to depp and depp is wearing boots...if you look closely, she's wearing these really really thin sandals and when standing next to depp the top of her head is in line with depps eyes....she's 3 inches shorter than depp who's wearing boots and she may just as well be barefoot....
Jdiesel says on 26/Jul/09
I thought you had to register and all that and never bothered to comment...but this is cool.

I've been following this site for a while and I have to comment...this is pretty weird.

People seem to think he's below 5'9, and while it may be possible consider this...

In the movie Whats eating gilbert grape which I am watching right now, Johnny Depp consistently is shown taller than Leo dicaprio to stay consistent with character where depp is supposed to be the older brother taking care of dicaprio...

If dicaprio is really 5'10...i cant believe that johnny depp is less than 5'9...lifts can only add so much, and there are quite a few scenes where you can see the full body of both characters shoes and all. While tricks can be played...i can't imagine the lifts on the sneakers adding more than 3 inches...

for depp to be taller than dicaprio that means he needs to be 5'9 at the least.

However, in a scene with John C reilly, he looks almost his height...depp was maybe 3 inches shorter if you were to compare the heights of the heads of the people...

however, if you look at the bodies, depp just doesnt seem to fit in...his body looks more compact and small compared to reilly yet they're standing next to each other(almost) and depps shoes don't look like boots or anything conspicuous.

If depp is shorter than 5'9...and is 5'7...he's getting almost 6 inches in lifts!.....

For those who believe he's like 5'10 or above: he's shoe size is reported to be US 10 (9 by some sources). You think that being like 180 cm he would have such small feet?

How is US 10 a small shoe size? I heard that the average size is 9 1/2.
Josh says on 24/Jul/09
Height and feet size have no correlation at all.

I am 15, 5'3.25" and I wear a US shoe size 10 or sometimes a US shoe size 10.5

Depp did look to be about 5 inches shorter than 6 foot 2 Del Toro in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Dave says on 22/Jul/09
I belive you AAA that he is taller than Christian Bale in the movie even Though i have not seen it,but i highly doubt it hes really as tall as chrisian bale in real life,its amazing what a solid 3 inch plus heel with lifts can do to mans heigth,im really starting to think that johhny depp is a ocasional lift wearer not just in his movies but in social events its just from what i have seen in pics his heigth fluctuates quite frequently.
AAA says on 21/Jul/09
He looks much smaller than Christian Bale in Public Enemies
Felix says on 21/Jul/09
L.S. Isn't US 10 like Europes 44? 44 is a big shoe size! I'm 5'8-5'9 and I've 42,5 in European size, which is like 8,5 US size i think.

To refrence what GF said, just becuase johhny looks 5foot9 in public enemys does not mean he is that heigth, have you seen the size of the heel on his shoe in that movie its like 3 inches.
TELLEM says on 10/Jul/09
johnny depp could be 5'10 though, he can look it next to several actors such as 6'2 benicio del toro or 6'0 john turturro

I think Anonymus is not far away from the truth. But I'd say that Pitt and Bloom are pretty much the same height, let's say Bloom possibly a little below 180, 1.79 or something like that ... Johnny is another 1.5 inch under Bloom, so about 1.76 for him. Anything under 5'9 is pretty unlikely. Glenn was right about that.
Felix says on 10/Jul/09
miser - Brad Pitt 6 feet? stop joking!
Brad says on 8/Jul/09
Glenn said he was 5' 10". Another laffer. He's not close. G said he's 5' 7.5" in pictures down below, he sure looks it with Jenny. Height expert. Yeah, he sure was. He can't get his own 5' 6.5" right at 10 P.M. scooter.
GF says on 8/Jul/09
Johnny Depp is 5 ft 9 in + for sure!

BTW, check out Public Enemies! It's a really good movie.
miser says on 8/Jul/09
"Pitt is exactly 180 cm - not any taller. Let's be generous and say that Bloom is 178 which is generous since 2 cm is less than one solid inch."

lol, how do you know pitt is "exactly" 180cm? bloom was measured at 179.5cm! pitt is probably closer to 6 feet than to 5'11", that's why there's is a little gap between him and bloom.
TELLEM says on 8/Jul/09
5'8? that seems too low
Emma says on 8/Jul/09
Johnny Depp is definitely no more than 5ft 8 if that. I was inches away from him in my flats and I am 5'8" so its a good comparison. You can tell by his petite frame and narrow shoulders and small hands. He has the physique of a very young man, almost like pubescent. However he is perfectly formed and has the most beautiful facial bone structure from every angle and an amazing completion. I am still elated to have been that close after being obsessed with him since 1984
Anonymous says on 4/Jul/09
Depp is at least 2 inches shorter than Bloom who happens to be at least 1.5 inches shorter than Brad Pitt.

Pitt is exactly 180 cm - not any taller. Let's be generous and say that Bloom is 178 which is generous since 2 cm is less than one solid inch. Then Depp can be 172-74 cm max with being exactly two inches shorter than Bloom. (I look at red carpet pics etc. to make these comparisons)

Unless Brad or Orlando constantly wear lifts, there is no way Depp is taller than 174 cm, plus he looks to be shorter than most actors anyways.
GF says on 4/Jul/09
5-7 hrs of sleep is not good for you long-term. A normal amount of sleep for a long life is 7-9 hrs per night. I was just saying after some days of significantly losing sleep it's good to experience a good night to sleep in. It helps your body regenerate. However, clinical studies have also proven getting too much sleep (more than 9 hrs a night) can actually reduce your lifespan as well. So it's important to get just enough, once again 7-9 hrs per night and whatever your height is when you wake up after that go by, unless you want to go by what Doctors say you are mid-day which is what most people do.
Felix says on 2/Jul/09
5'8 no more
Shawn says on 1/Jul/09
And yet TELLEM, you think Cruise is 5'7. I can guarantee you right now, there is no way in hell there'd be 3 inches between Cruise and Depp. Shame the two have never been photographed together in all their years in Hollywood. It's one or the other... Either Cruise is taller than 5'7 or Depp is shorter than 5'10.

trueheight says on 29/Jun/09
yeah but nobody sleeps for 12hrs unless 1) you had way too much to drink or 2) you are in-patient in a hospital. If these swings are indicative of your sleep pattern, I suggest you seek to reduce stress, as it is unhealthy in the long run.

Most adults sleep 5-7 hrs per night.
TELLEM says on 29/Jun/09
i'm starting to think johnny depp is really 5'10. look at him with 6'0 john turturro Click Here about a 2 inch diff. and with 6'2 benicio del toro: Click Here
Click Here

he looks 5'10
GF says on 27/Jun/09
trueheight, I have personally experienced more than 1.25 inches in height variation. This only happens in EXTREME CASES, but it still happens.

For ex, when I sleep a normal night of about 8-9 hrs, I wake up at almost exactly 5-10, or slightly shorter. Within 4-6 hrs I am 5-9.5 and after being up for 16-20 hrs I am slightly above 5-9.

But for those rarer cases -- days I can sleep in for 12 hrs + I have been measured in at 5-10.25 and days when I am on my feet for over 24 hrs straight I have been measured in at exactly 5-9 or possibly slightly below.

So most days I usually go from just over 5-9 to maybe 5-9.75 offering a deviation of 3/4 of an inch but in extreme cases I have varied in height as much as 1.25 inches or more. It all depends on if I have an exceptional amount of sleep, an exceptional lack of sleep, or just a typical night. My maximum and minimum height fluctuates from the normal 3/4 inch if I get an abnormal amount of sleep, or suffer an exceptional lack of sleep.
trueheight says on 26/Jun/09
GF, actually it's closer to 1/2 inch for most ppl. And this whole morning height thing is nonsense. You pretty much reach your height within 2hrs of waking. That's like if you wake up, eat breakfast, shower and get ready for work, you are basically your normal height by that time.

The best evidence we have is the Charlize Theron scene, proves 5'9.
Brad says on 26/Jun/09
Glenn said "he's 2" taller than my 5' 7.5" frame". Hey John, that was the height expert.
GF says on 25/Jun/09
If we all sleep at night and wake up in the morning then throughout the day we lose height (about an inch) at the same pace. But try going all night without sleep and standing next to someone else who just got up and you will see a greater height gap than normal.

Depp is approx 5-9 as a low height. Max height he is close to an inch taller, like most of us are. Not many people understand the effects of gravity on their heights. It has more to do with what position you sleep in and how long you sleep for, not so much what time of day. You will always be tallest immediately after sleeping horizontally 9 hrs +.
John says on 25/Jun/09
Stood next to him outside an LA restuarant. He was eye to eye with me and wearing sandles. I am barely 5'8". I nodded my head at him and walked right by him. He reciprocated.

Never seen this picture before. Here we have two 5'9'ers, Stallone together with Depp. Depp wearing resoled Boots (seen them in other pics where it's clearer), and Stallone wearing... elevators? Meh, I wouldn't be surprised if Depp was a tad shorter though, keeping the Depp Pacino pictures further down in mind.

Rance, says on 9/Jun/09
orlando bloom is stated as 5ft 10 to 10 n half, now in pirates when stood together with depp without hats etc you can clearly see bloom is a good 2 inches taller than depp, obviously both wearing boots so the height gap between would be pretty much the same if both barefoot, therefore depp has got to be 5ft 8inch barefoot tops.
Vlad303 says on 9/Jun/09
Why can't this site just contact some of these celebs like Depp and ask them to make a video, barefoot with someone measuring their height. Problem solved.

I've seen different pics of Depp's frame and I can't say he is 5'7. I'm not an expert but he could anything from 5'8 and a 1/2 to 5'9 and a 1'2. Not a clear 5'8 if you're thinking he is in that range but not a clear 5'10 either if you're thinking he is in that range.

But all this reducing to 5'7 and 5'5 by people is ridiculous and degrading. I know some of these celbs hide their height like Bradd Pitt but I don't think Johny Depp is one of those. Why not just contact him and measure his height.

in sweeney todd next to 6'1 alan rickman he seemed to be 5'10--at least 5'9 barefoot he is

He's always been 5ft 7 and wore large heels. There were photos of him barefoot on a yacht with Vanessa Paradis and he wasn't that much taller than her.

Glenn who used to have this following photo on this page about when he met Depp in high heeled boots. Since we have found out that Glenn is normally 5ft 7 or under then you can tell in this photo that Depp should be downgraded to 5ft 7 at the very most

Ok, good, I was wrong about Glenn being a legit 5'8. But that doesn't change much. Glenn's pics with Depp weren't my only source for believing Depp could be 5'10. And, by the way, ... even if Glenn were 5'7 in those, Depp still looked a bit more than 2 inches taller ... and it was evening height.

My friend meet Johnny Deep about a year ago when he was filming a movie in our town. She is 5'8" and when she met him she said she was suprised to see how short he was, she said he was around my height. I'm 5'5 1/2", she said there was no way he was taller than 5'7". I didn't believe her at first but when she showed me all of the pictures she took with him, she was taller than him.

Anonymous says on 29/May/09
Agreed, Kowa, and you touch on a point that explains the curiosity about height. I checked in because I've heard so many men lately insist that Depp is about 5'4. They openly resent that so many women admire him -- for his talent, professional integrity, intellect, personality, generosity, and yes, looks -- but men tend to objectify, focusing on the physical. Anyway, he's at least 5'9. Not that he cares.
Kowa says on 29/May/09
I'm trying to fathom the big issue here. Does Johnny Depp's height really matter this much? Does it affect his acting capabilities or pose as a disadvantage for any such matter? I think not. What we care about are his abilities to portray a character and he has that skill in the bag and on the plane. So this whole debate seems pointless to me, unless you are were just looking up facts on him due to curiosity.
At Chad a few posts down, I do agree with you on Jean's post, but the extent of your ridicule seems a bit much. She's obviously a fan and mentions more than once his ability to act. Being attracted to a person physically is only natural for a human being and when that person's skills and personality add to their visual presence, it just makes them all the more attractive to the person who has taken an interest. And to say that someone who judges on anything other than character is a terrible thing, then you most likely hate every person on this planet. No matter who you are, there will always be someone who catches your fancy visually. Its the most common reason for a person to start being interested in another. This is a fact of life. And most women, though many won't admit, have this fantasy of having their significant other to be someone who is financially stable(or someone who has a great deal of money), a good looker and have a great personality. They look for all these qualities that will make a perfect man. Which is relatively shallow, yes, and I don't agree with it, but thats life. You know should probably know yourself that more than half the population of males on this planet go after a woman because of her physical appearance. More so to me in my experience of watching people, than women after men.

About that "we're the same size" remark Depp made after trying on Dillinger's pants -- he'd mentioned in an earlier interview some legendary news photos of Dillinger's body on a stretcher. His arm was lying at his side and was bent --in rigor mortis--upward at a 90-degree angle from the elbow. When a sheet was thrown over the body, the arm looked to some viewers like another appendage(see Google Images), which started a persistent urban legend about Dillinger being abnormally well-endowed. Depp was probably joking about that, and the joke went past the interviewer or readers who'd never heard the tale. probably n

Pacino wears lifts in movies where they might require him to use them, but from seeing the man in real life a good portion of times, on red carpets and normal life, he's not one to use them for off stage type things. And from meeting Pacino I'd say he's a 5'5. Depp seems like a 5'8 - 5'9.

If Pacino is listed accurately on here (5'6), than Depp does look about 5'9 in those pictures, and there is always footwear to consider.

Jean listed below is right about height not being an issue, however, she definitely possesses the groupie mentality and that is one who is enamored with, or affected by a man's looks, status, and money. She, not only represents a weaker-than, and inferior-to behavior (in other words, Jean is a loser....), she is a sexist (anyone who judges a person by anything other than the content of their character) and is, in essence, a man-hater. Jean has succeeded in reducing a human being (and trust me, Johnny Depp despises her and/or, women like her) to an object.....hard up and desperate

memory tells Glenn 5'9-5'10 while Depp is wearing cowboy boots. Thats how Glenn has met the man, in cowboy boots. But Glenn doesn't even know his OWN height, so his theory is out.
Brad says on 21/May/09
6' 2", he weighs a lot. Believing Glenn's figure is like believing him saying he is 5' 7.5" in photos. He comes in close to 5' 6.75" at wake-up.
trueheight says on 20/May/09
that comment about a 5'7 man's pants is of no use at all.

I'm 5'9 and will wear anywhere from 29 to 32 length pants depending on the style and fit. You have to remember in the 1930s, it was typical for men to wear their pants a good two inches above their belly-buttons.

Fritz, your photo is confounded b/c Pacino is known to wear lifts; Antonio, you seem not to have factored that into your math. Brad, you could say that Pacino isn't 5'5.5 in that photo w/ Depp - you could say that he's 5'7 due to lifts :)

The only person here who has met the man is Glenn; if his memory tells him 5'9-5'10, that's good enough for me.
TELLEM says on 20/May/09

Fritz, that's a godd pic of Depp & Pacino. If Johnny stands straight he is very close to 2.5" taller than Al.

If Al is still 5-6, that makes Depp 5-8.5". It is likely that Al is under 5-6.

Johnny Depp would never be considered a tall man. But he is considered to be the most handsome and beautiful actor in Hollywood today. He is a "ten." All of this nonsense of is he under 5' 10" makes no difference. He is definitely under 5' 10", but everyone wants to meet him, or be him, or date him. Any man who wants to be taller, just realize that Depp is perfect. His height is perfect. Only recently are we seeing giant men in the 6'3" and higher range. Tyler Perry is 6'5". Large men have their own issues to deal with. But Johnny Depp's height makes him who he is . . .a talented actor and one gorgeous man.
