Around 5'11" flat. He's not 5-10ish.
Sleeve says on 1/Feb/10
I am a "Dirk Pitt" fan from the Clive Cussler novels. Pitt was 6"4" and much more intimidating at that height than Matthew at 5'10"-5'11". Pitt's height was an asset on many occasions, even with the women. Jim Caviezal from DeJa Vu and Bobby Jones Stroke Of Genius would have been more of a Pitt, and he is 6'2", which shows you how at 6'4", Pitt would have been more so. Thanks for listening........Mickey Rooney Anna says on 30/Jan/10
How come his girlfriend Camila Alves is said to be 5'10 when her boyfriend Matthew McConaughey is the same height and she is always wearing Platform shoes and looks same or shorter than him? There is also a photo of them with Jennifer Lopez 5'4 and if you check Jennifer Lopez with others looks more of a 5'3. Anonymous says on 29/Jan/10
Yeah everyone who meets him says 5'10. I can buy up to 5'11 but not over. Rob G says on 25/Jan/10
James, McConaughey did look more than 0,5" shorter than 5'11.5" Bill Paxton and little taller than 5'9"ish Bon Jovi. I'd say 5'10.5" is fair, both 5'10" and 5'11" are possible too, weak 6ft is pushing it. James says on 23/Jan/10
I think he is a shade under 6ft. He does not look just 5'10.5. bam says on 6/Jan/10
he's 5'11. And doesn't have perfect posture. At 5'10.5, with his posture and short
legs, he would look shorter than 5'10.5 often. observer says on 5/Jan/10
Why are you guys trying to guess his height by comparing him to the "alledged" height of another star? They have huge egos and are probably all exagerating. Most normal guys lie so how much more would the stars lie. Xdan says on 5/Jan/10
I didn't see him yet in my country (Italy), buy in my opinion the height you have indicated is right. Only a curiosity: have you noticed the great number of websites talking about his hair!? Hugo says on 2/Jan/10
I'm 6 feet flat and I was side by side with him in Rio de Janeiro (@ the beach in Posto 9) last Carnival 2009 and he's not taller than 5ft 10. For sure not 5' 11 Anonymous says on 28/Dec/09
He looks tall onscreen but everyone who meets him says he is 5'10, even 5'9 range sometimes. Lenad says on 28/Dec/09
He can look tallish in photos like 181cm but thats probably lifts Mr. R says on 27/Dec/09
I saw him from a slight distance at the U571 premiere. He was shorter than everyone else on the red carpet. No taller than 5-10. Anonymous says on 21/Dec/09
My friend who is 5'9.75 tall and claims 5'11.75 met Matthew McConaughey and interviewed him when Sahara was coming out. He told me that McConaughey was "a little taller than me" and was about 6'. This would put McConaughey around the height listed here, maybe a little under... horacle says on 19/Dec/09
He is a weak 5'11 and can look shorter because his legs are short. When he wears small lifts he looks 6'. Phil says on 14/Dec/09
I once served him in the coffee house where I used to work in austin. I'm 5'9, maybe 5'9.5, and we were about the same height, and I have a tendency to overestimate the height of those who are even just a hair taller than me, which he definitely was not. Rob G says on 11/Dec/09
Another solid 5'10"/weak 5'11" guy. Kable says on 11/Dec/09
Seriously, he's 5'9. Maybe 5'9.5 in the morning. DEFINITELY not 5'10. It was almost surreal seeing how short he really is. I understand the need for big movie stars who play action heroes/ladies men to exaggerate their height, but he should have aimed a little lower. RisingForce says on 27/Nov/09
Right, 5'6", hahaha.
Look at the ground level in Matt's photos. Lance is clearly on higher ground.
McConaughey is about 5'11". Dave says on 27/Nov/09
I saw him at Book People in Austin with Sandra Bullock several years ago. He's not much taller than she is - nowhere near 6 feet! The Answer says on 21/Nov/09
Funny how the people that see him in person know he's short. I saw him in person. He's not a hair over 5 ft 6". Remember film makers can do lots of things to make actors look taller on-screen. Rob G says on 8/Nov/09
Matt is right, except it is a bit unfair to go by shoulder level, or eye level/chin level, for the matter. Some guys just have different build. Still McConaughey doesn't look like a solid 5'11" in the pictures Matt posted, but I say 5'10.5" is possible. kevans says on 30/Oct/09
5'10 1/2... which is a good height, well 5'11ish is a good height generally speaking... not at that "tall" number of 6' but with boots he could pass for 6 feet Hugh 191cm says on 23/Oct/09
5ft11 Matt says on 22/Oct/09
To me he looks like a lift wearer. In this pick Click Here he looks spot on with 5'9-5'9.5 Lance Armstrong. Check out the chin and shoulder levels. When I see them together at more formal events, the height difference grows in Matt's favor...maybe because of lifts?
Here is a closer shot Click Here Anonymous says on 4/Oct/09
He kooked a good 3 inches under 6'1 (listed) Daniel Sunjata in ghosts of girlfriends past. There were also a few scenes where he was only an inch or so taller than jennifer garner. She was no doubt in heels making her a weak 5'10 so he was about 5'11 in shoes. Anonymous says on 30/Sep/09
He looks tallish onscreen, but everyone who meets him says he struggles to hit 5'10. I would bet he is 5'10-5'10.75 don says on 28/Sep/09
I think he might be 6'. unless hes a lift wearer in getty images hes got a few pics with 6' jake gyllenhal and theyre the same height. also in "ghosts of girlfriends past" 5' 8" jennifer garner wearing heels is smaller than him by about 2 inches clay says on 22/Sep/09
I attended the U of Texas with Matt, used to play basketball with him on a regular basis. In bare feet or Converse shoes, he's 5'9" max. He used to joke about promoting himself to 6' when he got to be a big star. Obviously that has happened. He still hangs out here in Austin when not shooting. I saw him in a campus area pub last weekend before the Texas Tech game. Guess what--he's still 5'9". Rob G says on 18/Sep/09
Yeah his quote is a bit strange, it's like saying: I'm 5'9.3/8", not 5'9.5" lol
Still I think listing here is about right. Will says on 17/Sep/09
Mr. Matthew McConaughey is 5-10 in height. Rc says on 12/Sep/09
I stood right next to him at a bar in Austin watching a UT football game. I'm 6'2" no way he's over 5'9"... Anonymous says on 16/Aug/09
Yeah that claim reeks of over compensation. any person who was really 5'11-3/4 would claim 6'. people in show business would probably have their publicist demand that they claim 6'1. he looked much shorter than 5'11.5 bill paxton in u571. RisingForce says on 16/Aug/09
Wow, he looks taller than I'd expect with Arnold. I'm not 100% sold on his 5'11 3/4" claim, but I'd say he's a weak 5'11" at worst. Maybe he wears lifts. His quote is very odd though.
"I'm 5-feet-11 3/4 , not 6 feet," talker says on 16/Aug/09
Click Here
i dont particularly like him as an actor,but the guy is probably what he claims.He has weird proportions,short legs and big torso.Look at the photo with Arnold.Also he towers over BonJovi. RisingForce says on 14/Aug/09
In boots he's 5-6 inches taller than Sandra Bullock in barefeet. Click Here Click Here
So 5'11" sounds right unless he's wearing lifts. Lmeister says on 14/Aug/09
Next to Brad Ausmus (5ft11) Matthew looks like a 5ft9.5 guy Click Here Look at his body proportions, even taking account that he is wearing a long baseball jersey his legs look a lot shorter than in premiers. I bet he is wearing lifts/boots to every event he goes to. aural says on 9/Aug/09
my cousin took a piss next to him in a bar in NYC and he said he is 5'6'' or 5'7'' max. xyz says on 9/Aug/09
I tried to goggle old photos of him and Sandra Bullock but could not find a full body shot showing shoes. Any thoughts on how he measures next to Sandra Bullock? Most agree that she is 5'7-5'8. It's hard to be taller than a a 5'8 lady in heels if you are only 5'9. I think this website is right and he probably does use lifts. RisingForce says on 30/Jul/09

This is a great photo for gauging a lot of men's (and women's height). These men vary from 5'5" (min - Stiller or the African American) to 5'8" (max - McConnaghy -sp?) excluding the guy at the very back. Anonymous says on 22/Jul/09
Have you met him frank2? if so how tall was he? Vibram says on 18/Jul/09
You search Google images "Lance Armstrong McConaughey" and you can see McConaughey's got 3cm on Lance's 177cm (5ft9.75) (scientifically measured - not a lie), so 180cm (5ft11) looks spot on. thrasher says on 16/Jul/09
im 5'11 & i've got a 6'4 arm span so I look pretty decent with my 3" lifts but matthew on the other hand just looks fricken weird. his arm span is just too darn short lol. his arm span has gotta be less than his actual height. Frank2 says on 14/Jul/09
McConaughey was obviously shorter than 5'11" Tom Skerritt in CONTACT. Todd says on 13/Jul/09
5'9 tops. He is a lift wearer. Just from the body proportions - short limbs - you can tell he is not tall. Also, his stockiness makes him seem shorter than he really is, but he is nowhere near 5'11.
Downgrade to 5'9.
His arms are so short he probably needs help cleaning him ass. Anonymous says on 12/Jul/09
5'11.5 can look pretty tall. a bunch of my friends thought my buddy was 6'1-6'2 so we measured him and he was 5'11.75". my point is if MM was 5'11.75 there would be alot more 6-6'1 sightings. I still hold firm that he is between 5'10-5'11 Original says on 5/Jul/09
He looks 5'11.5 in my opinion. OliTheMan says on 19/Jun/09
i thought he was almost 6ft. cus i just watched Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past (i know, lame... but my gf made it pretty nice lol ;) and he was like 3 inches taller than Michael Douglas at least. and he was noticeable taller than Jennifer Garner and stuff. kevans says on 18/Jun/09
5'11 sounds right... on a bad day, b/c of his obvious "slouch" he could be 5'10 1/2
someone said earlier that 5'11 can easily pass for 6' and that is VERY true, especially if you're lean, muscular... Midget says on 18/Jun/09
I agree with Brad on this, looks close to 5'11" in his movies and the pics of him that I have seen. His build and poor posture can be deceptive but he isn't under 5'10" that's for sure. Anonymous says on 14/Jun/09
I would bet he is right around the height listed give or take half an inch. a weak 5'11 guy can easily pass for being 6'. especially a lean guy like Matthew McC. kevans says on 10/Jun/09
idk i think you guys got this one, 5'10 and a half seems about right...
Matt isn't "short" obviously but he isn't "tall" which is generally considered to be 6' or taller...
For instance and having met/seen him before and i stand a solid 5'11 and a half... i measured, and 6' with boots on, and he's about BARELY(which would be an inch) shorter than me
someone said it right earlier, depending on bone structure, build, yada yada you can actually LOOK taller b/c your body is proportioned that way, Matt is like that but his arms are too short for a guy that would be "6 feet"
*bottom line: he's most likely 5'10.5, 5'11 too a little over on a good night's rest kevin says on 1/Jun/09
i always thought he was taller than 179cm but i just watched sahara and he looks even shorter than that. i dont know why he just looked short in that movie. anonymous says on 18/May/09
5 foot 11. leonari says on 14/May/09
I agree...Could be a real 5'11". But he has the shortest arms I have ever seen on a such a well built guy. I even read he is aware of it. TELLEM says on 14/May/09
i think he's a lift wearer. i'd put him at 5'10.5 the same as rob has him listed at. he looks the same height as 5'10.5 woody: Click Here Brad says on 14/May/09
1 foot from me, similar footwear: 5' 11". Hair implants is correct. His Texan accent is kinda water'd down. anonymous says on 14/May/09
I'm a solid 5 foot 10 and he looks taller than me. His girlfriend is 5 foot 8 and he is taller by a few inches. He is taller than all his leading ladies by a conseiderable amount. The shortest costar was sarah jessica parker in family stone and he towered over her. He always looked 5 foot 11 leonari. No leonari you should get a life, he is 5 foot 11. RisingForce says on 13/May/09
he really does look the 5-11.75 that he claims quite often. i think he might hit that out of bed.
here he's not much shorter than 6-2.5 listed ashton kutcher. Click Here though he was wearing these boots Click Here that still points to him not being a hair under 5-11.
i see less than 4 inches between matthew and brendan fraser who claims and looks 6-3.5 to me. Click Here and mcconaughey is slouching, though i couldn't find a picture of his shoes.
he's taller than 6-0 jake gyllenhaal here. Click Here though, again he was wearing boots. Click Here
for now i'll buy his 5-11.75 claim as his height out of bed. RisingForce says on 12/May/09
he has a good 3 inches on 5-8.5 anthony hopkins. Click Here
now the question is if he wears lifts or not. i still wouldn't bet on him being under 5-11. bam says on 12/May/09
he looks 5'10 in stills of fools gold. But he jumps to nearly 6ft in a few premiere pics. gilipollas says on 12/May/09
Did this guy do 'roids? He was skinny and suddenly he became massive...also hair implants. Pretty sure he wears lifts too on premiers and movies. He's seen barefoot and in sandals very often though. leonari says on 11/May/09
anonymous: what a pile of bull. " I know a lot about height". You should get a life. Mathew is not 5'11 but very close Anonymous says on 10/May/09
He also looked 5'10 flat in U571 compared to Bill Paxon who is 5'11.5. oddly enough though he looked 5'11 in that same movie next to 5'9 Jon Bon Jovi so anything between 5'10-5'11 seems legit. RisingForce says on 9/May/09

Exactly Jack. There is one shot that is a full body shot and they both are in flip flops and he looks to be a flat 5'10. He has looked that height on occasion with Lance Armstrong as well. Jack says on 3/May/09
I always thought he was 5'11 because he was shorter than 6 footers whenever I saw him on a tv show or something. But he looked REALLY 5'10 in Fool's Gold with Kate Hudson.

"He'd be the tallest looking 5'10" guy I've ever seen if he was that short."
Rising Force, what the freak are you talking about? What do you mean by "That short"? 5'10" is in no way shape or form short it's clearly average height for a male, which he basically looks. Someone who is 5'9" or 5'10" could easily look 5'11" or 6 foot based on their build and bone structure. Anonymous says on 21/Apr/09

the weird thing with this guy is that 5'10.5 is ridiculous. But so is 5'11.75. He was listed at near 6ft at one point in time on this site (i think 5'11.5). So he either wears lifts, or has deceptive posture. 5'11 flat makes most sense. anonymous says on 6/Mar/09

He passed right beside me at Ipanema Beach during Carnaval last week. I'm 6'0 sharp. He's at least two inches smaller. I definitely put him at 5'10 tops. RisingForce says on 2/Mar/09
I think you're reading too much into the bathrobe. I doubt he's trying hard top convince everyone he's that height. I think he's simply joking about not quite being 6 feet.
Now if he's 5'10.5" or 5'11.75" I don't know, but I'd bet he's in that range. Not under 5'10.5", but not over 5'11.75". Anonymous says on 1/Mar/09
Yeah. I mean even guys who are measured at the NFL combine at 5'11-3/4" probably claim 6'0. If i remember correctly, when he first got going he was always listed as 5'11 and then it grew to 5'11-3/4. suspicious indeed! meister says on 1/Mar/09
I sat across the aisle from him at a Dodgers/Astros game last year. Everyone was commenting how small he was. He and his wife/gf arrived late (and left early) and although I was sitting down I'd say he's definitely no taller than 5'9. Probably closer to 5'8. Complex says on 27/Feb/09
And inscribing it on his bathrobe is even more suspicious cuz it's like he's tryin' hard to prove he's that height! Complex says on 27/Feb/09
very suspicious!! Anonymous says on 26/Feb/09
Right Complex. even if if were 5'11.75 out of bed, and he was going by that, he would most likely claim 6'. when someone is that precise with their height, especially around the 6' mark, it seems really suspicious. Complex says on 25/Feb/09

I think alot of people dont know their own height so they unintentionally exaggerate a celeb's height when they meet one. for ex, i used to think i was 6', so if i were to meet someone my height i would say they were definitely 6. when in reality i am 5'10.5. Jason, if you are 5'10 in shoes i totally buy Matt as 6' in shoes, possibly with help but possibly without. no way 6' barefoot though. Complex says on 21/Feb/09
Jason if that's true then post it with your measured height, likely he was in lifts, if you're 5'10 you would barely see a difference between you & him barefoot, if any. jason says on 20/Feb/09

good point. I'm actually right around that height, but still growing my doctor says. The thing is that people get so uptight about half an inch that it is ridiculous. No Word Of A Lie says on 28/Jan/09
I saw McC in the flesh just 3 weeks ago and I can honestly put an end to all this speculation and doubt. This was in London at about 7:32 in the evening but obviously if he'd just flown over he would have been on American - and therefore morning/early afternoon time. Anyway, he was no more than 3'2.5 and that is no word of a lie. I was, however, standing about 10 metres from him so that might have been to do with perspective.

Yeah Complex but the little ground advantage is why he looks about 4" taller instead of the 2-3" taller he is in reality. The ground is fairly solid so the only advantage is the slight slope. The Ben says on 12/Jan/09

Like for instance you say 5'10.5, i'm assuming evening height, so in the morning you'd be a little over 5'11 and in decent shoes, add hair, and thin build, you'd easily look 6'0. Which is prolly why alot of ppl say you look 6. I get the same thing al the time, ppl always claiming i'm taller than I really say, sometimes I think they say that cuz some ppl look taller, but other times I think they might say it to support their own height inflation. Sometimes like "you must be 6 cuz i'm 5'10.5" when reallly they're prolly lower... Anonymous says on 16/Dec/08
I agree with both of you complex and flippant. I really think that alot of people really believe they are the height they claim. If i hadn't measured myself I would believe my height was 1.5" more than it really is, mainly cuz people always guess my height as 6' but i am really 5'10.5. After i respond that i am 5'10.5 i always get the "no way i am such and such height so you must be 6'". People in general just dont know their true height. Complex says on 15/Dec/08
Lol very very true flippant! Very! I mean alot do appear taller than they are, but stitching you're elevator/lift height on you're bathrobe....that's just classic, lol! I too always get ppl saying i'm taller than I actually am, consistently yet I still claim my legit height. One reason I think ppl think i'm taller than I am is I claim my evening height and i'm pretty thin, not too thin but somewhat and sometimes I wear timberlands. All of this contributes to me looking 2 inches or so taller than I am, so imagine celebs that are thin with a good build that wear elevators and lifts!! That's how ppl like Mcconaughey, Pitt, & Damon pull is off!
I mean I pull off a taller height than I am w/o trying, so these celebs who have the power and the money to look taller (lifts, elevators, etc) can easily look 3 to 4 inches taller than they really are.
Matthew is likely in the 5'9 region, 5'11.75 is a joke! horacle says on 15/Dec/08
he is 5'11 no more no less Anonymous says on 13/Dec/08
Good pic Dural. i think Matt is 5'10-5'10.5. Dural says on 13/Dec/08
Matthew 5'11.3/4" and Lance 5'9.5" is hard to believe
Click Here Complex says on 11/Dec/08
Viper if you find it you should post it, i'm pretty positive 5'9 for him as well but that video sounds like it would confirm my belief. Especially if Portis's morning height is 5'10.5, what's funny is matt mc is as low as 5'9 yet claimed 5'11.75, that's 5'9 almost claiming 6'0! lol,hilarious...A-listers try to get away with anything they can!

McConaughey (likely in lifts) next to 6'0-6'1 Bradley Cooper.... Complex says on 10/Dec/08
Wow, I believe that too flippant, I always thought that but enough ppl argued with me that they had me convinced he might be a legit 5'10, 5'9 seems right barefoot, in lifts who knows, but barefoot 5'9 region, i'd agree with that! Complex says on 9/Dec/08
Wierd thing is he looked a good 2.5-3 inches shorter than Bradley Cooper who's listed 6'1 although, i'm skeptical, I think Cooper is maybe more 6'0 even, he was the same height as Walken maybe a tad taller in Wedding Crashers (Alot say 5'11 for Walken) and he was shorter than 6'1 Dax Shepherd in the comebacks, so if Cooper is 6'1, 5'9 range would definately be a possibility for MM. This legit 5'11 stuff for MM is pretty insane, again I say this height here is the most I would buy although I think the tip of his head barefoot really ends up in the 5'9 range. In lifts who knows. But for those in doubt, watch Failure to Launch, Cooper who is likely 6'0 I guess had a good few inches on MM, so 5'11 or 5'11 3/4 is out, 5'10.5 is generous as well ;)
Flippant Matt's on brother said 5'9??? or did I read wrong.. Brad says on 9/Dec/08
Rooster musta been drinking some of Sammy Hagar's tequila. I'd even go 5' 10.5". Anything less is doin the batusi upside down with Joan Collins. Complex says on 7/Dec/08
Some do Rising Force, some don't.
Quick question around the board, when ppl are arguing heights here, are you guys arguing morning, mid-day, or evening height??? Cuz i'm arguing evening height. Just curious.
Flippant I have always thought that, like in that range, I really have, but to be a tad generous I say 5'10 max, lol! I've always figured in the 5'9 range, I mean next to Lance, Alves, Hudson, he looks no more than this. Unless thy are all taller than they claim, lol! Lance prolly falls below 5'9 if I had to guess! RisingForce says on 7/Dec/08
There's nothing wrong with morning height Complex and I haven't been measured by a doctor in atleast 5-6 years but last time I was measured by a doctor I took off my shoes. Complex says on 6/Dec/08
Click Here
Djimon Hounsou (listed 6'1-6'2, 6'2 max or slightly under)
Bill Clinton (Listed here @ 6'2)
And others such as Morgan Freeman, The top of Matt's head comes to Djimon's eyes and this is all assuming Matthews is not in lifts. Personally I think Djimon is 6'1.5 but even at 6'2 he's well over Mcconaughey, especially if you took out mcc's poofy hair and if he's wearing lifts that would be even more crazy, no way the almost 6'0 he as on his bathrobe, 179 is the absolute most i'd buy although I think 5'9.75-5'10 legit would be more accurate in the evening.
The thing is, alot of ppl go by their measurements at the doctor's office, here's the flaws about that, for one you generally go to the doctor in the morning, rare that your gonna go in the evening when your at your lowest and two the i've been several times when they measure with shoes on. It's almost as if it's too much of a hassle to take off your shoes and plus maybe they think itll build self-esteem if ppl are measured higher than they are. Last time I went I was getting measured and offered to take off my shoes and she was like "nah that's ok, i'll measure you as you are." Which is ultimately unaccurate! Brad says on 6/Dec/08
Stop babbling....he's 5' 11" straight up. JJ says on 6/Dec/08
he's at least 5'11... he has bulkier frame which makes him look shorter Complex says on 5/Dec/08
I could buy a solid 5'10 for him assuming that he's not a lift wearer, his height is kinda hard to pin down cuz he's in shoes alot and he's also barefoot alot. But yeah, if he were 5'9 3/4 which Ikinda think, that's virtually 5'10, so I could buy a quarter to a half inch more than that, but I really think he doesn't go over the height listd here barefoot! Dural says on 4/Dec/08
I believe Frank2 when he says "he looked to be a solid 5'10"". I could see 5'11" too but unlikely. 5'9" is too low for McC. 5'9" flat for Lance is possible. I can't see 2.5in between them. Matthew does look 5'10.5" in your pic with Fox Complex, but who knows about his footwear. Complex says on 2/Dec/08
Instead of claiming 5-11 3/4 as his offical height on his bathrobe, he should try to save face and embarrassment and make the numbers stand for something else.
5(how old he was when he first got abs)-11(old football jersey or something) 3/4 (could mean on the scale ranging from 5 foot to 6 foot, his height is three quarters of the way to the journey of 6'0)
-----1/4=5'3-----2/4=5'6------3/4=5'9-------4/4
5'0-----------------------------------------6'0
Or max 1 inch of 3/4, I still think barefoot he's in the 5'9 region, 5'9 3/4, maybe 5'10...the height listed here max morning height for him. Complex says on 1/Dec/08
Nice pics Dural, there are several of him and lance barely an inch apart, and personally I think lance is a flat 5'9.

(another with him & fox) without his hair, i'm not sure he'd even reach fox's eyes with the top of his head... Anonymous says on 30/Nov/08
I watched reign of fire last night. he looked 5'10.5 compared to 6' Bale. 5'10.5 is not short. it just sounds short cuz you have lots of 5'8-5'9 guys claiming 5'10. not that 5'8-5'9 is short either. Lenad says on 29/Nov/08
Well Complex Those guys are shorter guys but a 5ft10-5ft10.5 guy wouldnt stand out by that much. However I will admit he does give the impression of wearing lifts at times. Anonymous says on 28/Nov/08
He didn't look much taller than Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. I'm assuming Cruise wore lifts, but Matthew still only had an inch or two at most on him. RisingForce says on 28/Nov/08
Downey is 5'8" minimum and Cruise is about the same(maybe a hair shorter). Complex says on 27/Nov/08
Lenad he stands out with them because those guys range from 5'5-5'7.5!
Click Here
He's obviously a lift wearer - check out the pic!!! Brad2 says on 27/Nov/08
his is min 5"11 no way under 5"ll Lenad says on 27/Nov/08
You know I am beginning to wonder if he really is 5'11.5-6'0 because amongst Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr he stands out by a damn good amount! RisingForce says on 25/Nov/08
Anonymous, how about all of the other pictures that show him 4-5 inches taller than her? She's probably 5'8" and he's 5'11.75". Anonymous says on 22/Nov/08

Yeah 5'11 is way too hard to buy, i'm not sure whether is g/f is 5'7 or 5'9 but even if she's 5'9, that puts him 5'10 tops here and his sandles are thicker than hers and she's leaning. I'd put good money that his head never goes above 5'10.5 in the barefeet. Maybe that's his morning height, I dunno. But he's not a full 5'11. Most likely, he's 5'9 evening height or maybe a tad over, 5'10 at best! jon says on 20/Nov/08
If you watch his advert he looks tall. Also my sister and her friends have seen him at a premiere with penelope cruz and said he looked 6 ft and very tall next to her. Will Smith was there who they put at 6'2" The same people saw vin diesel who you have at 6ft and said he looked short so they have perspective. He is easily 5'11" and does look taller than brad pitt because of his great structure. By the way glad Glens here to stay because he makes this site. leonari says on 19/Nov/08
Viper: why is it hard to buy? he was 4-5 inches taller than Kate Hudson who is 5'6" Anonymous says on 19/Nov/08
If he is 5'11.75 than Bradley Cooper is pushing 6'3 and he didn't look close to that in Wedding Crashers. Also, there is a scene in "fool's gold" where Kate Hudson and Matt are in flip flops right after their divorce hearing, he is 4" taller than her. If he is 5'11.75, then she is 5'8. Brad says on 19/Nov/08
Me in Chuck Taylors, he in nuthin much more, I added. Downtown Austin club. I think he lived outside of there then. Music city, big time. Lotsa bats by the river. RisingForce says on 19/Nov/08
How is it that his girlfriend who is listed 5-9, 5-10 or 5-11 everywhere magically becomes 5-7? Why because even if she was 5-8 that'd put him at 5-11.75. She's probably 5-8 and he's 5-11 minimum and there's a good chance that he's 5-11.75. leonari says on 17/Nov/08
Brad: We agree on a height!!! incredible. I never thought the day will come but here it is. Gotta put it down in my calendar...done. KamiChii says on 17/Nov/08
How did you saw it Brad? =/ Anonymous says on 17/Nov/08
I have no idea how tall his girlfriend is, but by looking at those pictures I would guess her to be about 5'7, maybe a tad less. Either way, I think McConaughey about what he's listed at here. He did look 2-3 inches under 6'1 Bradley Cooper in Failure to Launch and as Viper said, he was definitely shorter than 5'10.5-5'11 Clinton Portis on that video on NFL.com a few years ago. Brad says on 17/Nov/08
5' 11" is what I saw in Austin. Nuthin more or less. KamiChii says on 15/Nov/08
I agree with complex and I think that he is 5'9" (or at least he was) look here: Click Here
The guy is using stretching exercises, so guess the rest =] The Horse of FUNK says on 14/Nov/08
He's got a long torso with short arms and legs. I think that contributes to the illusion of him being shorter than he is. RisingForce says on 14/Nov/08
I agree, as I said, I'm not even a fan of his but his height is obvious to me. 5'11" minimum, probably 5'11.75". dulce says on 14/Nov/08
Bajeezus, i'm not trying to be funny. Trust me, i was disappointed - and kinda freaked out. I looked into his scalp when he stood next to me. Leung says on 13/Nov/08
Yeah I think 5’10.5” is bit too low for McConaughey. leonari says on 13/Nov/08
Sorry Dulce but I can not believe that. If you try to be funny like Letterman did with SLy when calling him "tiny" thats Ok. But Matthew is a bit over average and looks it. Like I already mentioned before: except for his arms. The are somewhat short for a guy of his size. dulce says on 13/Nov/08
hey guys, you can talk about what he LOOKS like on screen till the cows come home. I'm telling you, I hung out with him & his buddies in Cabo for a week. I towered over him - i;m 5'7" + 3" heels = me topping out at 5'10" and he was visibly TINY next to me. Anonymous says on 12/Nov/08
speaking for myself, it seems that whatever height a celeb looks like to me on TV, they are really 1-2 inches under that. I remember thinking Brad Pitt looked 6' to me, but if you go to his page he is listed at 5'11 and most think he is around 5'10.5. I thought the same thing about Matthew MCC. Willis I thought was 6'1, turns out he is 5'11 and change; same thing for DiCaprio and Timberlake. anonymous says on 11/Nov/08
He looks 6 foot. He looks tall. In wedding planner, he was taller than jennifer lopez by 12cm but she was wearin heels and she's 165cm. Chan Man says on 9/Nov/08
He does have the muscle mass to compensate for his 5'10" to 5'11 and ¾. He is definitely not a small person by any means and he is definitely tall enough to be an American leading man. Anonymous3 says on 8/Nov/08
Mr. G says on 27/Jun/07
More proof. I saw him at a bar in DC several years back. I am 6'1. I walked right past him and was towering over him. I'd say he is 5'9.5-5'10 tops.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 inches is not really towering, 4 or more inches is a more notable amount of difference. You only tower someone if you can see over or almost see over somebody's head IMO. Greg says on 6/Nov/08
He´s not more than 6´, maybe even only 5´11´´. Anonymous says on 30/Oct/08
I don't think he's sniffing 6' at 5'11-3/4", but I also dont see him less than 5'10. I would bet money that he is no less than 5'10 and no more than 5'10-3/4". Lmeister says on 30/Oct/08
What are you guys smoking??? Matthew is clearly around 5ft10-5ft11 maybe even 5ft11.75 like he said... dulce says on 28/Oct/08
I've hung out with him, and he is very small. He came up to my shoulders while i was in my 3" heels. I'm 5'7". Complex says on 28/Oct/08
Exactly Anonymous, Cooper had him by a good bit, and that's also assuming Matt Mc wasn't in lifts.
Oh & Woody Harrelson is 5'9 or less! aram x says on 27/Oct/08
Just curious but have any of you guys noticed that McConaughey has very short arms relative to his height and torso length? His arms look especially short because of their muscularity. MIKE says on 19/Oct/08
I always thought he was around 6'0" Anonymous says on 17/Oct/08
He looked about 3 inches shorter than 6'1 Bradley Cooper in Failure to Launch. No way he is over 5'11. RisingForce says on 16/Oct/08
Who knows he could be 5'11 3/4" like he says but then again I've seen him in some chunky shoes and he does often look 5-10ish. don says on 14/Oct/08
in EDtv matthew mcconaughey is the same height if not a little bit shorter than woody harrellson who this site has listed at 5' 10'' sori says on 13/Oct/08
yes, is look like shoorter than 6,1 Deb says on 25/Sep/08
He looks 5f10 at the most Anonymous says on 16/Sep/08
keep in mind Richard that most people look taller on screen. someone who appears 6' onscreen is most likely 5'10-5'11 or so. I think 5'10.5 is correct for MM. RICHARD says on 15/Sep/08
I was watching Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Matt appears to me as a skinny 5'11-6' guy since he was only 25 in that movie. He has good posture and basically towered over everyone including 5'4 Renee Zellwegger. He's an above-average dude. He also looked this height in Dazed and Confused. 5'9-10 is too low for him. 511'-6' is more his range. Complex says on 13/Sep/08
I totally agree Viper. That's why 5'9 and 5'10 get bad reps is from ppl who really are 5'7 and or 5'6 something even claiming them as heights.
Therefore someone here sees someone who's actually 5'7 claiming 5'9 and they say, 5'9 is small, lol! Wen really they're judging a 5'7 guy, I get that. And Ed Harris is a good example!
Ppl who area legit 5'9 generally don't look short on screen unless around someone really tall. To this day I can't understand how ppl say 5'9 is short but 5'10 is tall.
Put a 5'9 and 5'10 guy barefoot beside each other and you'll barely see a difference. But i'm telling yall someone in the 5'9 range, say 5'9.5 or 5'9.75 can with a good set of boots or shoes,thin build, can easily pull of 6'0. The right shoes can do alot for ppl :)
Most 5'9 guys look normal on screen, not usually short unless they're lying about their height.
But when ppl like t.i. claim 5'9 and are really around 5'6, that gives 5'9 a bad name, cuz then ppl say, 5'9 is short, just look at ti, haha, when really they'r judging a 5'6-5'7 guy! Hugh says on 13/Sep/08
I might be 5ft11. Lenad says on 13/Sep/08
