Ed Norton looks a lot shorter than Mr Meaty in Fight Club and they’re both the same height.
Those bitch tits even look so real; I can see the nipples!

In Americathon, 6 ft 3 Harvey Korman had pretty much a full 4 inches on Meatloaf. That was late 70s. Meat was carrying a lot of weight at the time though. He really looked no more than 181 cm if Korman was only 6'3 flat.

@ Lalonde - That’s an interesting piece of info! Meaty was big in other ways though, including his size in general, and
his beautiful, classically trained voice.
PS You sound French. Are you?

in Fight Club, Edward Norton (6’) said in an interview that he was taller than Meat so they had in stand on a box for the movie. Judging by pictures, Meat never looked more than 5 foot 11 at any given point, even in cowboy boots. I’d bet money that he was 5 foot 10 flat.

Fight Club is showing again tonight and Mr Meaty is so fantastic and funny!
He had a lovely smile and laugh and fitted into the film perfectly.
6ft0.5. He seems taller than Ed Norton.

It’s been crossing my mind of late to watch Fight Club in Mr
Meaty’s honour.
I don’t know how I’ll react, but I think I’ll be crying my eyes out.
He was a beautiful person with an equally beautiful voice. Now I’m going to hear ‘Bat Out Of Hell’.

I'd agree with 6 ft. I'm pro celebrity match photos with John Mcenroe in 1982 he's at least as tall as McEnroe, and I think everyone puts John between 5 ft 11 and 5 ft 11 3/4 in his prime. Clearly Meat shrunk a lot with all his health problems including trapped nerves in his back.

Just heard the news recently that meatloaf passed away. I have been a big fan of rock and metal genre and it saddens to see a rock legend leaving this world. I feel sorry for both his families and his friends as they are a close presence to him. I hope meatloaf’s families and friends goes well and may meatloaf Rest In Peace and hopefully he will share a rocking vibe to the young generations and his masterpiece will not be forgotten.
He will get 6 feet tall.

RIP Meatloaf and Hardy Kruger. Highly recommend the film The One That Got Away if you've not seen it. Hardy should have a page on here, one of the top German actors of the 50s-70s, he was in The Wild Geese with Burton and Moore. When I went to Florida in 1994 I listened to Bat Out of Hell II throughout the whole three week holiday. I associate it with Kennedy Space Center and the 1986 shuttle disaster as I was playing it on my Walkman the day I visited! Powerful stuff. Meatloaf was a guy who I'm sure would get guessed as bigger than this.

Editor RobI am sure he looks weak 5ft 9 at times, but if he still can somehow stand up tall for a measurement I doubt he's as short as 5ft 9, maybe 5ft 9.5 today.

He didn't wear lifts in Fight Club... He stood on a box instead! As for his peak height - he was about a flat 6 foot or also possibly a weak 6 foot. Not the well over 6 foot like he looked standing on the box in Fight Club.

In his autobiography and interviews Meat calls himself 6 foot. I'd imagine this is his rough estimate from young adulthood. So he was possibly a little less, and certainly looks a few inches shorter than that now. Weight issues, numerous operations and health troubles, and bad posture all contribute. To me he looks 5'10 at very best. In his younger days he looked shorter, possibly because he was well over 20 stone. In his 40s and 50s he could look taller because of weight loss. 'Fight Club' had him on a box for some scenes, which he's made no secret of. Watch the movie and you'll see his height vary dramatically.

I'm afraid that I am one of those people who expected Mr Loaf to be a whole lot taller! The reason for this is the opening scene in 'Fight Club', where 6ft Ed Norton is neatly under his chin, squashed there uncomfortably I know, but there all the same! That image has kind of stayed with me, and not for height reasons, I can tell you! The fact that you see the two of them in other parts of the film standing together didn't cancel out the opening scene for me and I carried on thinking Meatie was 6ft3/6ft4!
Ridiculous I know, but true!
For his peak height, I give him 6ft and a diddy little quarter inch for luck and for his present height, I'm shaving off one and three quarter inches! 🎈😓🎈

Maybe it was his rotund stature, but Meat Loaf never really struck me as a particularly tall fellow even back in his younger days. He was often pictured or filmed next to people who were a good deal taller than him. I think if he claimed 6 foot then he was rounding up, even then. Maybe a strong 5'10, or a little over, in his youth, and 5'8 or 9" now?

Looking at him recently he seems very small. A lot of his recent promotional work is alongside the actor/singer Andrew Polec. Andrew is listed at 6', and yet he positively towers over Meat Loaf. What do you think?

Did Meat-Loaf lift weights when he was young? I know he was fat but in Rocky-Horror his arms look huge like he did power-lifting or something. Look here.. https://tinyurl.com/kpzquwb Maybe if he did that could be why he loose more height than normal.

In Rocky Horror he was about half inch under the muscleman when face-to-face, who is listed as 6'1. If that's true then Meat Loaf must have been in the 5'11.25 - 5'11.5 range at peak given that the muscleman was barefoot and Meatloaf was in some kind of boot with a relatively small heel.

Stood about 10 feet from Meat in Belleville at Rockfest... he is very hunched over now but still had the presence of being a solid 5-11 give or take. So id say this is bang on! If he stands straight he is probably 5-10 1/2 or better.

Lorne, he actually wore lifts for Fight Club.
They did a back to back, with Meat being about an inch shorter than him.
5'11" for that point in time sounds about right. He was probabally the peak height (6') in his younger days (1960's/1970's)...but is most likely under now. He still claims 6' though..so probabally not to far off from that mark. Can look it at times.

its just really hard to tell.
He looks around 6' on Celebrity Apprentice, but he looks 5'10" on a normal day.
He has admitted himself that he leans and slouches as a person, which is a contributer to his 5'10" look..but standing perfectly straight I believe he could still be close to 6'...I think he's 5'11" personally, but believe me, there are times where I thought he's looked as short as 5'9"

Yeah Danimal, plus Meat has had numerous health issues, and has broken his legs more than once...his weight, age, health, and posture just ate away at his height.

Editor Rob John Rhys Davies was barely 5ft 10 in 2007 (stretching to talk to a 5ft 11 guy he was still an inch smaller) and he was 60's, so maybe there's a chance he's lost a lot more than average.

Well that makes sence now because Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray) is about 6'1" and I have no idea how tall Richard Hatch is, but I've heard he's in the 6'4"/6'5" range.
Meat Loaf's height is like impossible to tell...I just got settled on the idea that he's 5'10" and now he looks taller! I will just have to say, he's nothing taller than 6' and nothing shorter than 5'10"...we'll leave it at that I guess haha

I will say that Meat Loaf can look very short. He didn't look tall at all in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, except for the mugshot that put him at 6'1". He has looked really tall in some movies and shows. Meat most recently claims 6'. I believe with all his health problems, he's visited the doctor enough to know his height. He may not look it because of his bad posture? Idk. The shortest I can see Meat Loaf at is 5'10". But he looks many different sizes depending on who he's with. But he is definatly somewhere between 5'10" and 6'0".

I know it did sound like he said 6 foot 3, but he mentioned his age (63) like 2 sentences later. He gave his height as 6 foot in an interview about 3 weeks earlier.

I'd have guessed 5'11" range. But it says on 'pedia in the Fight Club article that Meatloaf wore 8 inch lifts in his scenes with Ed Norton to appear taller!!!!! Given that Ed Norton is little over 6' why would he need 8 inch lifts? I can't remember Meatloaf looking 6'7" in that film...

also the video with Jason Hawes who is apparently 6'1, Meat is the exact same height. I think, however, JH may be shorter than he claims.

Yeah Ron, I saw it. For the most part, loose posture gave him a 5'9"/5'10ish impression, but when he stood up straight, i defanitly saw him at very close to 6'. A strong 5'11 with good posture. We probablly saw loose posture in that pic w/Glenn.
Rob! no joke, his current height needs to be 5'11"! check out this vid

check out this vid of ML with William Shatner (5'9). Meat is slouched most of the video but at times he stands somewhat straight and has like 3 inches on him.

Shatner is prolly 5'8 now, but that would still put ML at 5'11

Also, he's about a half an inch or more taller than his guitarist Paul Crook not taking into consideration the poor posture of ML and the good posture of PC. Just gotta find out how tall Paul Crook is . Also an inch or so more than Lou Diamond philips in a pic on Gettyimages.

seen Meat on 'Dont Forget the Lyrics", along with Wayne Brady who is listed as 6 foot on most websites (tho not listed here). At times Meat looked 1/2 inch to an inch shorter but there were times that Meat stood straight up and he was pretty well the same height. So if Brady is truely 6 foot, than yes, Meat is still closer to the 5'11 mark and change.

Looks about 1 or 1.5 inches shorter than David Letterman on the Late Show. Poor quality video so I can't tell which footwear was being worn. This was 94' so I am assuming cowboy boots for Meatloaf and thick heeled dressy shoes for Letterman. Meat was prolly strong 5'11ish at this point.

I agree Ron. Meat is probabally still close to 5'11.5" maybe 6'. Personally, I think he peaked 6'1", but his posture is TERRIBLE, so he may look 5'10 when slouching, but I also agree with Jared, In that American Idol performance, he stood up straight and was a definite 6'0". I think Rob needs to upgrade his height to either 5'11" or 6'0" and peak him at 6'1". He also looked as tall as Dennis Quaid in cowboy boots when he stood up straight, and meat was only wearing dress shoes!

On the American Idol performance with Meat Loaf, she is wearing 2.5 inch heels, making her 5'10.5", now Meat Loaf naturally standing is the same hight as her 5'10.5" but when he straightens up a couple of times in the perfomance, he has two inches on her, making him 6'0" with perfect posture. Rob, when he stands up straight, he's still 6'0", but when he stands just plain, he's 5'10.5" He MIGHT have peaked 6'1"

Yes, definatly a short neck, but he hunches alot, and if 5'10 is the height he is with bad posture, then he is more than likely 5'10.5"/5'11". He still can appear tall at the age of 61.

you've gotta look at other pics and film. the way he stands is a big take away from his true height. He usually stands w/his shoulders hunched and his neck never straight up. He's still 5'11 or 6'

Man, I love Meat Loaf, but I always thought he was a giant until I saw this. He looks so tall on stage. Well, I can most definatly see his peak height as 6ft. But I looked at the comments below and looked at the photo again, and I can also see 5'11 if he stands up straight, 'cause he looks 5'10 and a half here at his lowest.

But I looked at the comments below and looked at the photo again, and I can also see 5'11 if he stands up straight, 'cause he looks 5'10 and a half here at his lowest.

i thinks he's definatly either 5'10 and a half or 5'11 nowadays because he looks 5'10, WHILE SLOUCHING! but, yeah rob, i'm glad to see you gave him a 6' peak, i just think he is in the 5'10.5/5'11 range

He is taller than 5'10!!! listen, rob:
I was just watching an interview with him on youtube from 2006, and the interviewer says "well for a man of your stature, which i'm guessing is over 6ft." He says "Just 6ft. I got into a car accident and It hurts for me to stand up straight"
He just can't stand with perfect posture

I honestly believe that Meat Loaf can be 6 foot. I really think that you shouldn't put slouching height as there full height. (In this photo he is clearly slouching.) My cousin, when slouching, can give off the image that he's only 6'0" but when he straightens out with perfect posture, he is measured at 6'4", Honestly Rob, you should give him 6' or at least peak him at 6'

Editor Rob I do think he's lost height and will give him 6ft peak.

I was just watching his performance with Katherine McPhee on American Idol.
She's 5'8 (as listed on this site) and Meat appears 2-3 inches taller than he, while she's in 3-4 inch heals. making Meat 6' or 6'1"

well, in that picture ron provided of him and kevin costner, he looks 6' when slouching, so he was most likley a 6 footer.
Could have bee 6.05

Rob, even Glenn agrees that you shoukd peak him at 6'
He probabally is 5'10 now, but he broke his leg at a concert, so he's bound tohave gone down an in. i'd say leave him at 5'10, but peak him at 6'. Actually, you should put him at 5'11, because in this picture he apears 5'10 with bad posture.

Well Rob, I am a HUGE HUGE Meat Loaf fan, and I read, and I don't know if it is false or not, that he was measured as 6'1.5" in high school football. If he was that tall, he absolutly lost height. He has has car accidents, his plane had to make a crash landing, and he has has concusion after concusion. He probabally lost all of that height, and is probally a strong 5'10" or a weak 5'11" now. By the way Rob, I have not used diffrent names and repost anything. I just found out about it a couple of days ago. my first comment on here was the one comparing him to patty russo.

He looks to have shrunk about 1.5". I used to see a strong 6'0" man and now he seems to be about 5'10.5"-5'11".

Rob, I know you are just playing it safe, but I did actually meet him at the Star Plaza Hotel after a show he did in '02. He autographed my copy of his "Storytellers" dvd. and like Glenn said though, he can appear 5'10", but more than likely peaked 6'

Editor Rob there's no need to make tons of posts and use different names. It lowers things. He could have been 6ft peak, I think he's lost some height, how much is the question.

your welcome glenn. when i saw him back in '02, i got his autograph after the show. He was a little bit bigger than my step dad, who is 5'10, but not much. But when I see him on t.v., he dosen't look that tall. His height is very hard to predict, but he at least peaked 6' or 6'1

saw him on stage last night from about 10 feet away, certainly didn't look 6ft+ as some have claimed from where i was standing (but i didn't get to stand beside him0, patti russo and the other female backer were as tall if not taller than him in heels, his voice is nearly gone too, pity wonderful talent :(

c'mon thats a definite 5'10.5... and the guys like 58. Take a good look the distance from his ear to his head is a good 5 inches+. His peak height would have been close to 6'

I Met Meat in 1996, wearing cowboy boots he was same height as me around 6' and a half inch or so. So I'd say 5'11 was his peak height now he likes as though 5'9-10 is a little generous

In 51st state, Meatloaf and Samuel L. Jackson are face to face and Meat is a definite 6'0 when he is standing in perfect posture. Because he is only 2 inches shorter than Jackson who is wearing boots, whereas meat is wearing slippers.

Meat Loaf rules. I think he may have been close to 6' in his peak, but 5'10 loos right for now.

In the movie "Americathon", Mr Loaf was like 4 inchs shorter than 6'4 Harvey Korman. He had tennis shoes on so i'd say Meat has some serious degenerative disc problem cuz he was definitely 6' at one point or very close.

i got a question to ROB .... did you downgrade MeatLoaf?
i thought (maybe my immagination) seeing him 5'11 in the website.
next to Glenn though he looks 5'11 so if you downgrade him to 5'10 you did very good. it's the right height.

On a Q&A forum, Meat himself answered he was 6foot 1/2inch, however while standing with patrick Swayze in a movie he only looked to be an inch or so taller.

They had meatloaf standing on a box in his fist scene in fight club (the cancer suffer's help group). The box made him look 6'4'' when norton hugs him. However later on in the film they forget to put him back on the box or in lifts, and you can clearly see he is only about 5'10''. He is not short, but far from the GIANT his PR would have you believe.

HE's about 5'10" in that pic with Glenn. I don't doubt that Meatloaf may have been 5'11" and change 25-30 years ago and rounded up to 6'0". I know that he weighed between 350-380 pounds and went down to about 275 pounds during his comeback album of the early 90's.
