Matt Damon height: 5ft 10in (178 cm)

US Actor from The Bourne Ultimatum. A fan who met him noted this in their site: "I met Matt Damon when I was an extra on that golfer movie he was in with Will Smith; super-nice guy. Real short

Another fan has commented on matt's height, "Matt is rather short. On the screen when I watched his movies, he seems kind of tall. I am 5ft 8 and I don't know exactly how tall he is, but he wasn't that much taller than me (probably only a few inches taller).

Matt himself said "I’m 5’10." in a MoviesOnline.ca interview about playing Francois Pienaar in Invictus.

Taller than I perceived
jtm says on 1/Jun/13
damon looks like he is standing tall as possible in those pictures and might even be wearing lifts. i also think douglas might be in the 5'8 range nowadays.
the shredder says on 1/Jun/13
Same , a weak 5'10 .
Stiffelio says on 31/May/13
I'm inclined to believe Matt Damon is 5ft 10in after seeing many pictures of him next to Michael Douglas (listed 5ft 9in here) from Behind the Candelabra, both promo pics and at the red carpet. Damon is clearly at least 1 1/2 inches taller than Douglas, if not 2 inches. So if people doubt Damon's 5ft 10in, then we should downgrade Douglas.
jtm says on 31/May/13
much closer to 5'8.

The camera always makes actors look much taller than they are. Raquel Welch was working on a film in my area. I dropped by to watch. There was a short, attractive, but rather plain woman standing next to me. I turned to a guy on the other side of me and asked him, "Where is Raquel Welch?" He looked at me dumbfounded. I asked again and he muttered under his breath, "Right next to you." I was floored that she was standing right next to me. I always thought of Raquel as a very statuesque woman, but she was much, much shorter and more slender in person.

Anything over 5ft9.5 at night is absurd. 5ft10 is an ok listing if it is earlier in the day. Matt is a solid 5ft9 but 5ft10 is Brad Pitt and George Clooney area.
truth178cm says on 24/May/13
between 5ft9 and 5ft10
Dirty Pitts says on 23/May/13
@the height man

Matt Damon, you're back here posting again. I give you an A for effort but you are clearly shorter then 5'10" Cloontang and much shorter then 5'11" Brad Pitt.
You are 5'9", which is not that bad a height.
Mr. R says on 22/May/13
Matt is a weak 5-9.
the height man says on 21/May/13
about 5'10.5. I thought he was 6'0
Dirty Pitts says on 18/May/13
5'9" tops, Damon and Cloontang are at best average height guys.

@ Lol, Matt Damon is that you?
Dmeyer says on 2/May/13
5'9.75 night height
the shredder says on 26/Apr/13
5'9.5 max.
Shell says on 12/Apr/13
I saw Matt Damon in Vegas while they were filming the first Oceans movie and I was surprised at how short he was. I'm a 5 ft 9 in woman and though I wasn't standing right next to him there is no way he is close to my height. I would say more like 5ft 7in and that is being generous. My friends and I saw many of the actors from that movie and they are all very short. I stood right next to Andy Garcia and I towered over him and I had flats on. Everytime I see an actor I'm always shocked at how short they are in real life. Everyone lies about their height, especially men. My son is 6ft 3in tall and he has stood next to men who claim to be 6ft 4in or 6ft 5in and he is taller than them.
Lol says on 10/Apr/13
I dont know Matt Damon but watching his movies he seems taller then 5'10
71 inches says on 5/Apr/13
rob he doesn't look like a 5'10 bcoz a 5'10 guy looks tall , like micheal c hall
the shredder says on 31/Mar/13
Between 5'9 and 5'10 seems fair , he is not 5'8 or 5'10.
truth178cm says on 24/Mar/13
Damon is strong 5ft9 range 176-177cm.
Anonymous says on 12/Mar/13
I am sure Matt Damon is 177 out of bed and around 175.5-175.8 at night,Brad Pitt and George Clooney look more than 1 inch taller than him
Red 183 says on 10/Mar/13
5´9", maybe 5´9.5" def not taller
Reminds me a bit of Chris Jericho with his short body & big head
The Shredder says on 4/Mar/13
The Ocean's guys heights do not add up You have Matt at 178 , GC and BP at 180 ... There is about an inch between each guy .
MaskDeMasque says on 18/Feb/13
I think 176cm is good for Damon. Looks a bit more than 5'9 flat but never looks 5'10.
TNTinCA says on 16/Feb/13
I actually met Matt Damon in Las Vegas about 10 years ago. I stand just under 5'10" (about 5'9.75") He did appear to be slightly taller than me, but it was hard to tell. Definately in the 177-178 range for Matt.
the shredder says on 12/Feb/13
Rob , you really think a legit 178cm ?
[Editor Rob: he could be 177, or what you call a weak 5ft 10]
Silent d says on 10/Feb/13
176cm.
Balrog says on 8/Feb/13
Krasinski destroyed his claim. Damon can't be over 176 cm.
MarcusTheSwede says on 26/Jan/13
I really think Matt Damon is a great guy. But pictures and evidence point at same way. He is maximum 176cm not taller.
BarefootMatt says on 25/Jan/13
Sorry guys, met him in Malibu on the sand in California, no hidden shoe lifts. He is 5'8", if that. I'm 5'10", my son who is 5' recognized him. easily 2 inches shorter than me. Looks good for his height.
refresh says on 20/Jan/13
this guy is happy if he is 175 cm tall barefoot
the shredder says on 18/Jan/13
Brad has Clooney at 5'10 yet him at 5'8 and there is a BAREFOOT photo of them and it is 1 " . Brad is not having this case both ways .
The Eye says on 15/Jan/13
I happened to walk past Matt in Tribeca a few years ago when he was shooting the third Bourne film, within three feet of him on a flat road surface. We stood exactly eye to eye and I had the wherewithal at the time to look back and spot-check his shoes. Our soles were comparable. He's 5'9.5"
Brad says on 8/Jan/13
Bourne Booties, the chunky bricks to make him taller. As I've said so many times: look at him with Clooney & Pitt, at 5' 10" you don't owned like that.
Nothingman says on 8/Jan/13
In The Talented Mr. Ripley he sometimes looked as tall as Gwyneth Paltrow (who's listed as 5'10) and sometimes a bit taller, but that was due to camera angles, i think they wanted him to appear at least a little taller than the lady.
Trey says on 8/Jan/13
5'10 is overly generous. 5'9 range: 5'8.75 - 5'9.25.
Danimal 5\'9 1/4 says on 3/Jan/13
Just watched The Bourne Identity and he had these thick chunky black shoes on. No way is he 5'10". Shocked to see that he is being listed that here on this site. He's no more 5'10" than Sly Stallone is. 5'8"-5'9" range.
truth says on 28/Dec/12
from 5ft8.25 to 5ft9 is fair.
Mathew says on 27/Dec/12
I see Damon as 175 - 176 cm range.
Lars says on 21/Dec/12
You are right shredder. 5'8 and 5'10 are garbage. Matt Damon is closer to 5'9. I'd say he's somewhere in the range 5'8.75 - 5'9.25.
the shredder says on 17/Dec/12
5'8 and 5'10 are garbage .
Silent D says on 13/Dec/12
176cm at most.
the shredder says on 13/Dec/12
I agree , he is more 5'9 than 5'10 but under 5'9 is downgrading
Mr. R says on 13/Dec/12
I saw Matt the other night in Hwood at a screening of his new movie Promised Land. I could not get close to him, but comparing him to others who did, he is about 5-9.

I don't know sometimes he looks tall, sometimes he doesn't. 176cm is a safe bet.

No surprise, dale. I caught Jon Stewart on TV standing next to the Today Show staff and he was barely shorter than Matt Lauer.
dale says on 4/Dec/12
Today show 12/4/2012 - Matt Damon was guest and was at least 4-5" taller than the staff - including Matt Lauer, Savannah - compared to everyone on the set, Matt Damon was a giant! Damon is average - - not a midget like most actors.
The Exorcist says on 4/Dec/12
Here he is looking 5 inches shorter than (the debatable) 6'2.5 Ben Affleck. Note that Damon has a significant shoe advantage in this picture, also.

I think he's 5'9"-5'9.5 range.
Louis says on 30/Nov/12
I agree with 2cm difference between jude and matt, but i don't agree with 180 and 178
If celebrity claims 175 that is max
I can't imagine male celebrity downgrading himself
In my opinion jude is 175 max damon 173 max
leonari says on 30/Nov/12
Damon has much shorter limbs than Law and is much stockier even without bulking up. I can see why some think he is shorter than he actually is. I bet his wingspan is as much as 2 inches shorter than Law's.

5'6 is not ridiculous at all, 5'10 is
leonari says on 28/Nov/12
It's exactly stories like this user "Departing" posts that ticks me off (and yeah sometimes I lose it-forgive me) . A pure average guy like Damon being described near 5'6"...I mean come on this BS has to stop at some point.
Departing says on 26/Nov/12
I somehow stumbled upon this site and it seems like the perfect place to get this off my chest. It's guys like Matt that give me the impression that the industry suffers from inflated stats! Having stood next to him while shuffling out of a theatre at the conclusion of a film at TIFF (Solitary Man - he wasn't in the film, but he was there to watch it), I, a mere 6'0" with shoes off, was struck by how short he was. My impression at the time was that he seemed no taller than my sister (5'6"), who shuffled by ahead of me. If he were to stretch that to 5'8", with shoes on, I might believe it, but 5'10" is a con. Like all anecdotal evidence, take it with a grain of salt, but I concur with the anonymous fan in the blurb: "Real short"
SAK says on 22/Nov/12
After watching Departed, he looks noticebly shorter then Baldwin(182cm) and DiCaprio(181cm). I think he is 176cm.
Kartal says on 22/Nov/12
This listing is a joke. No way this guy is over 175

As far as the other things Louis stated. Downey is always in lifts NOW, the photo with Malcolm McDowell was taken in 2003. I looked into this and found that Downey's footwear changed a lot around 2006, and more since he got the role of Iron Man. Before that, Downey's footwear really didn't look unusual. Regardless, it's not smart to make assumptions about someone's footwear when you can't see it.

167 cm for Downey is so ridiculous I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

167cm is far from ridiculous and in fact, it is being generous for him. I have ALL of the SNL season on DVD and Robert was a cast member in 1986-1986 and there are TONS of scenes of him in normal shoes being towered by EVERYONE on the show. Madonna was the special guest on one episode and she was wearing regular shoes and they had a few scenes together. She was somewhere between 5'3" and 5'4" barefoot and YES, Robert was taller than her, but not by much. Looked like a 5'5"-5'6" guy barefoot. NO WAY did he have even 3-4" on Madonna. So no, 167 is not ridiculous. Once again, it is being generous.

In contaigne hes only 2 inch shorter then 6 foot steven soderbefg. In bourne ultimatum hes only 1 inch shorter then 5 foot 11 paddy cosidne. I rest my case 5 foot 10 not an inch more not an inhc less

Did anyone see the Colbert special? Damon looked slightly shorter than Colbert. Colbert looked maybe an inch or 2 shorter than tom hanks.

175cm for matt.

i would also say hes exactly 176cm. i think thats what he was listed in the beginning of his career. some magazine gave that height.

Regardless, it's not smart to make assumptions about someone's footwear when you can't see it.

167 cm for Downey is so ridiculous I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. And your photo of Jude Law and Daniel Craig doesn't even begin to prove anything. First of all, 1 photo never proves how tall someone is and more importantly, they're walking in the photo which makes it useless for comparing height. This is a better photo. Click Here Jude is slouching and still looks a bit taller than Craig who has good posture.

Granted, I do think that both Jude Law could be closer to 5'10" just like Craig, but from what I have seen of Jude Law I really don't see anything less than 5'10", and I think Rob's 5'11" listing is believable.

As far as the claim, Jude's claim is absolutely open to interpretation. When asked about his height he said it depends on his mood. He did say 5'9" in that interview, but he goes on to say some days he feels 5'9" and other days he feels 6'. Maybe he just felt 5'9" that day. If you read his quote it makes sense. Plus, when you have a claim like that which is open to interpretation, I think it's best to go with what makes sense visually rather than try too hard to interpret it. Admittedly, I haven't look at Jude Law's height as closely as others, but from what I have seen, he really doesn't look less than 5'10". Plus, I think Rob is always very close with his estimates so I really don't think he'd be off by 2 inches.
RisingForce says on 23/Oct/12
When was Iverson ever measured barefoot at 5'10"? Draftexpress has him at 6'[0" without shoes. And I can find some sources that also claim that in old articles.

"Measured at 6 feet and 167 pounds in the 1996 pre-draft camp," - 1/6/06 Los Angeles Times

Iverson also claimed that height. ``I'm only 6 feet tall,'' Iverson said. ``I'm going to have to play point guard." - 6/4/96 Philadelphia Daily News

So regardless of what height you think Iverson is, don't lie about a measurement that never happened, or you have no source to back it up because. People do that way too much and it's really annoying. I don't mind opinions, but don't lie about facts.

This matt damon's page not jude law's. Damon 175cm.

the shredder says on 21/Oct/12
At Louis , I think Jude can be 5'9 but he really did not claim 5'9 as he said " Sometimes I feel 5'9 and others 6 ft "
"It depends on my mood, really. I'M FIVE NINE, and some days I only feel five nine. But if I'm feeling tall, I say six feet!"

he clearly stated that he's 5'9

Click Here
look at this photo, it's not best photo but i think it's clear that craig is taller than Jude

now look kenan thompson with allen iverson(178 barefoot measurement)he looks 172-173
Click Here
craig was same height as kenan on snl

downey doesn't wear so big shoes on movie premieres as on Sherlock set

on photos of downey and jude on sherlock premiere , downey is always in sneakers, probably with lifts but that's not even close as bis as this
Click Here
mugshot photo is not good, not best angle and he doesn't look full 5'9, i don't know maybe he was tip toeing


shredder, explain to me how jude can be anything over 174, i give you pretty solid evidence that he's not
the shredder says on 21/Oct/12
At Louis , I think Jude can be 5'9 but he really did not claim 5'9 as he said " Sometimes I feel 5'9 and others 6 ft " . I do think 180cm is a tad much , to me he can look 5'10 in photos . For Downey you are calling others ignorant yet you still think Downey is under 5'7 when he was in JAIL next to a height chart at around 5'9 . He is in JAIL no LIFTS . The guy is not a mm under 5'7 and is pretty much over that mark at 5'7.5 to 5'8 as the best guess .
Aragorn 5\'11 says on 20/Oct/12
5'9.5-5'10. Very close to George Clooney (5'10.75), Brad Pitt (5'11), Edward Norton (5'11), and Leonardo DiCaprio (5'11.5) Anything less than 5'9 is INSANE!!!
Louis says on 20/Oct/12
why would Michael Caine call him short if he always look only couple cm taller than Jude?
no doubt he's lift wearer
Louis says on 20/Oct/12
risingforce

so Downey is always in lifts, but he wasn't when took picture with McDowell LOL
Downey 171-173 just fits your estimate but he really is just 167


how do you explain Jude looks shorter than Daniel craig on photo where both are in sneakers, but on high profile events Jude looks same height or even taller, good proof he is wearing lifts
and there is enough evidence that craig is NO way 178

about his claim 5'9, he says he is 5'9 but depending on his mood he can say 6'

there is photo of him and Ed Westwick and he looks few cm taller with better posture and Westwick is no more than 170

Jude is not big guy, i'm sure, and you can think what you want
Louis says on 20/Oct/12
whoever think that Jude downgrades himself is just ignorant..
Louis says on 20/Oct/12
@the shredder
i'm really interested in your opinion about Jude's height, 184,191,204??
the shredder says on 19/Oct/12
LMAO at Jude 170cm or 173cm .
RisingForce says on 18/Oct/12
Since when does Jude Law force his posture? That's the exact opposite of reality. Jude actually slouches a lot, plus I've seen nothing to suggest he's always wearing lifts. It's funny you bring up lifts and then state that Jude is barely shorter than Robert Downey Jr. The irony of the statement is that Downey wears enormous lifts and elevator shoes to the point it's excessive. Downey has literally worn external heels of around 3 inches, actual platform shoes and shoes packed with lifts to the point they look swollen and his foot is pretty much falling out. The fact that Jude is still taller than Downey in that type of footwear when Downey is likely in the 5'7.5"-5'8" range suggests that Jude is over 5'10", possibly 5'11". 170-173 cm for Jude is not even close to realistic.

I can understand the confusion with Jude Law's height to some extent, though. His quote is unclear, but I'm not sure he's seriously claiming 5'9" in the quote. If you read it, he says his height "depends on his mood."
Louis says on 11/Oct/12
in talented Mr. Ripley he looked little bit shorter or same height as Jude Law(I'M 175)
he is 173 MAX
i don't see a chance that Jude downgrades himself, he is alwaay forcing posture, definitely wearing lifts, no way Jude over 175, he is not much taller than Downey Jr.
Jude is more likely 170-173
Ka says on 10/Oct/12
Mackie is closer to 5'11, look at him in flat sneakers w/ 6 ft Bigelow page, wearing 3 in heel, and 174 cm Renner. Damon is, I think, 3 cm under 180 cm Mackie,so 177 cm. His build is making him shorter, but I doubt he's same height as Rob. Min 175 cm
Hullywood says on 10/Oct/12
I really think 5foot10 is to much. A 5foot11 guy is has a really good height, for me tall looking. But Damon doesnt look tall to me, and believe me, i seldom think: oh, this guy isnt tall. I´ve got a bad heightcomplex, a really big problem and all other people looks tall to me, BUT Damon not. And with 5foot10 a Thomas Jane did it to me.

Here is a german actor, i dont like this guy, plays in daily soaps. But his height 1.77m is known since years. Now compare this guy, with the 1cm taller Matt Damon. Damon will lose it.

I see Damon at 1.74-1.76m. And maybe i have a feeling for that, cause thats my own height. I always can compare myself with guys at my height.

But ok, Rob is god here and a like this website, so it doenst matter what i say and think.

Sorry for bad english, i´m working on it. ^^
Hullywood says on 10/Oct/12
Hey Rob,

Michael said here: "In The Bourne Supremacy, the CIA details say he is between 5'7" & 5'9"

pleas tell me, makes it sense, to list a "strong, dangerous agent" at a lower height as the actor of that role?

Why did they list the dangerous Bourne at 5foot7 - 5foot9, when even the friendly Matt Damon ist 5foot10? So Bourne should be tall as Damon, or taller.


Sorry for my bad english.

I´m verry surprised, Matt Damon is not my height (1.76m), cause he looks it to me. But i must say, in Good Will Hunting, he looks an inch taller then Casey Affleck.
[Editor Rob: sometimes small details in movie computer screens aren't given that much care.]
the shredder says on 10/Oct/12
There is no way he is 5'8 unless he packs lifts , he always looks 5'9 minimum or even 5'9.5 I agree 5'10 is a tad much unless he is a weaker 1 .
jtm says on 9/Oct/12
mackie was listed 5'10 in here before and that is more accurate imo. either way i thought mackie was 2 inches taller than damon.
Ka says on 9/Oct/12
Anthony Mackie is 5'11 though, the update is good. And Damon looks 177-178 cm next to Mackie. If anyone got clear shot of Damon wearing elevator, bring it out, stop conjecturing
jtm says on 8/Oct/12
he never really looked 5'10 except with edward norton but norton had terrible posture and damon had a footwear advantage. he could look 5'9 sometimes but that is probably because of the footwear he wears or his posture. he was clearly shorter than anthony mackie who is 5'10.
Silent d says on 8/Oct/12
176cm.
RisingForce says on 6/Oct/12
I have absolutely no idea where the 5'8" stuff comes from. He really never looks it, and there's very little evidence to suggest he's a lift guy. His height doesn't even look to vary much in videos/movies and photos. He pretty much always looks either in the 5'9" or 5'10" range.
the shredder says on 5/Oct/12
I think he can seem 5'9 , but just 5'8 flat ? I say 177cm is fair , 5'10 is a tad high !
Brad says on 5/Oct/12
Strong 5 feet 8, he's fooled people for years. He's the guy looking up at Clooney & Pitt in each film.
Dmeyer says on 3/Oct/12
Rob are those evening height possible damon 5'9.75 Clooney 5'10.5 Pitt 5'10.75
Dejavu says on 1/Oct/12
I think he is a little above 5'9.
leonari says on 26/Sep/12
I agree with Rising: Damon is a solid 177 cm. 100 % average height with a somehow stocky built that gives a shorter impression.
Silent d says on 23/Sep/12
176cm.
GP says on 23/Sep/12
I wonder why nobody is mentioning the fact that he was about the same height as Billy Crudup in The Good Shepherd. He is no way 5'10". The most he could be is 5'9", which i even doubt that.
Chameleon says on 22/Sep/12
Damon is about 5'8 he is noway near 5'10
RisingForce says on 22/Sep/12
Yeah, there were 3 pictures from that day where Mel looked taller, but none of them were good for comparing, imo.

But I did think Damon looked a good 2 inches shorter than Bruce Willis in Oceans 12. Click Here
the shredder says on 21/Sep/12
I saw a pic where Mel Gibson was taller .
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 19/Sep/12
I think his official height is 5ft9.75(177cm). Roughly 5in shorter than Ben Affleck and 2in taller than Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.
RisingForce says on 17/Sep/12
I think 5'9.5" is the best guess for Damon. I use to have him at 5'10", but I went by morning height then, which I've stopped doing on this site because it gets too confusing.

I see a good 5 inches here between Damon and Affleck
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here

So if Affleck is 6'2.5" then 5'9.5" seems accurate, though some have thought Affleck was more a flat 6'2". I don't see where the 5'8" stuff comes from for Damon, he'd have to be a constant lift wearer, and there's no evidence to support that. But I'd guess there's more than an inch between Damon and Pitt. Also, I think Clooney is about 5'10.5" and even with his bad posture, he still usually looks taller than Damon, which wouldn't be the case, imo with just a half inch difference.

In The Bourne Supremacy, the CIA details say he is between 5'7" & 5'9"

He looks totally 5'8" to be honest.
Harvard? says on 11/Sep/12
I'm assuming Susan S only visited Harvard and didn't attend. I say this as I doubt a Harvard grad would misspell heels. I'm guessing her math isn't too hot either :)
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 11/Sep/12
I think he'd be down to 5ft9.5(177cm) by the end of the day but no lower than that. Morning height? probably just over 5ft10.

I think back to back he'd be roughly 1in shorter than someone like George Clooney or Brad Pitt despite the fact that he could look as much as 2in shorter than both in Oceans 11.
Dmeyer says on 11/Sep/12
To me damon dosnt measure under 5'9.75 in even after a long day do you agree Rob , he wakes 179-179.5 5'10.5-10.75
[Editor Rob: he may drop to 177, at times he can look that range]
RisingForce says on 9/Sep/12
Some pretty good pictures of Damon and De Niro who I think is about 5'8" as listed here. 5'10" seems quite possible for Damon next to De Niro, although Damon's posture generally seems better, but the the first picture looks to be the best for comparing. Lowest I can see for Damon there considering posture is 5'9.5".

5 foot 10. he was taller by 2 inches then 5 foot 8 jack nicholson in departed.
jtm says on 7/Sep/12
either way damon is not 5'10.
bodwaya says on 6/Sep/12
baldwin has claimed 6 foot in the past his profile even says 6 foot. In bourne unltimatum he was an inch shorter then paddy consideine who is 5 foot 11. Therefore 5 foot 10 is accurate.
jtm says on 6/Sep/12
he was shorter than chris cooper and i thought damon was 3 inches shorter than baldwin and i don't remember him claiming 6'0 before but i think he is 5'11 anyways and if he was wearing lifts damon probably was also wearing lifts.
Voiceless Dental Fricative says on 6/Sep/12
Rob, you've said for a while that Damon is somewhere 5'9-5'10. Don't you think it's reasonable then to put him at 5'9.5, as that's right in the middle of that spectrum?
[Editor Rob: until I was more sure of 5ft 9.5 I don't want to change, sometimes if I think 5ft 9.5 or 10 for someone was possible, I might go in between or just leave 5ft 10]
the shredder says on 6/Sep/12
I agree leonari , 5'8 flat is a joke , if not 5'10 then strong 5'9 .
bodwaya says on 5/Sep/12
he equal height to 5 foot 10 chris copper . second of all baldwin claimed 6 foot in the past and damon was only 2 inches shorter. Pkus baldwin is know to wear big lifts. Baldwin is 5 foot 10 barefoot.
jtm says on 5/Sep/12
he was 3 inches shorter than alec baldwin. baldwin has claimed 5'11 in the past.
leonari says on 4/Sep/12
Damon is an average guy with a somehow "short" quality to him. You just somehow think he is short. I can't explain it. Very strange. Could be 177 but nothing below. Not even a mm.
Chameleon says on 3/Sep/12
No effing way is he 5'10. he is like 5'8 max.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 27/Aug/12
Anything between 5"9-5"10 is accurate for Damon.
In Ocean's 11 he's 1.5in shorter than Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
Louis says on 21/Aug/12
On Jude Law page i posted a pic with Daniel Craig and it's obvious that Jude is 173 absolute max, and yet some of you think that Damon is 178
the shredder says on 20/Aug/12
Rob , 5'9 is closer as Thomas Haden Church had 2 " on him in the Zoo movie !
joe joe says on 17/Aug/12
@KN dicaprio is around 182 i think in the vid the seems to be about a 4cm difference betweem himself and Damon so i think a 178 listing isn't wrong. that's if dicaprio is 182. But the video does not look like a 6'1 man next to a 5'10 man in any way shape or form
jtm says on 8/Aug/12
yeah but i doubt dicaprio is even 5'11.
the shredder says on 7/Aug/12
That is not 3 inches and matt is losing posture ... 5'9 !
KN says on 4/Aug/12

Watch it please. He can't be 1.78cms unless Dicaprio is around 6ft1.
Any thoughts?
BigT says on 4/Aug/12
With 6'1.5ish Ben Affleck he looks 5'9 or shorter. I think he's 175 cm flat first thing in the morning, and 174 cm rest of the day.
bodwaya says on 3/Aug/12
in informant he was 2 inches shorter then 6 foot scott bakula. So 5 foot 10 is right
KN says on 30/Jul/12
I have just watched the Departed and it seems there is about 6 cms differences with him and Dicaprio. So if Dicaprio is really 180 Matt Damon is sure as hell between 5ft8 and 5ft9 range.
BigT says on 27/Jul/12
If he claims 5´10" he is most likely in the 5´8" range, like Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Zach Efron.
Dave618 says on 27/Jul/12
If Affleck is about 6'2" then Damon is about 5'8" to 5'9" based on the pictures I've seen of them standing together.
The Bourne Series Fan says on 13/Feb/12
Ok here's something interesting for you guys. I watched The Bourne Supremacy more than 5 times and at some point in the movie the CIA get their hands on Jason Bourne's identity informations and about his height, it says: 5'7" to 5'9". Careful if you want to see this you'll have to pay attention and Pause the movie in order to be able to clearly see this.

Now i DO NOT know if this was Matt Damon's true height back in the day but he looks around 5'8" really.
jtm says on 13/Feb/12
he was shorter than 5'9 guys. that will tell you if he is 5'10 or not.
Silent d says on 24/Jan/12
Who is lisa snowden? Actress? Solid 5 foot 9. It will be interesting if he does a movie with johnny depp. They should be the same height. We'll know who wears lifts.
JohnnyRB says on 23/Jan/12
cant you see that he is tiptoeing :))
dennis says on 22/Jan/12
guys can we explain this photo/ (8th picture down): Click Here .

Matt Damon: 5 ft 10
Lisa Snowdown: 5 ft 10

Lisa is wearing 4inch plus heels there. And theres less than an inch between them. Either matt's wearing lifts.. or lisa isn't 5 ft 10.
Chris says on 21/Jan/12
5'9.5 (176,5 cms) for Damon sounds perfect.
