Mel is probably bordering on average, I have seen him in person back in 95 when he had to ride a horse into the Ed Sullivan theatre as a premotion for Braveheart because he was lettermans guest that day ,and I seen him eye to eye before he hopped on the horse, and I would say he is about 5 ' 8 and a half ,he had an extremley intense look in person , I can see how he played William Wallace and Mad Max. A cool guy. rome says on 10/May/08
i think he is exsactlly 179
James W. says on 9/May/08
Was Weaver's character wearing heels or something in that scene? Because then I would understand him having to do that since heels could make her look atleast 6'2. Private Joker says on 4/May/08
Uh...everyone...are you lot forgetting that Mel had to stand on a box in that film he did with the "5'11 Sigorney Weaver? What's with these "6 foot sightings"? Mel is not and never was 6 ft. STOP THE MADNESS. glenn says on 29/Apr/08
yeah,true to a point.but you need a car perhaps,and certain situations might be more difficult.as with more photogs and competition in you way. James says on 28/Apr/08
glenn I think you might find more celebs in LA than NYC. Infact I went on a week long trip from England to Los Angeles with my college in Febuary and I was suprised that I did not see any famous people at all. glenn says on 28/Apr/08
hahahaha.good point.all boys.i would love for him to reply back.he posted on the wrong site.nobody gets by me in nyc more than once.once in a blue,sure.especially if they fly private.most celebs fly commercial.but on the regular? man i need bills phone #.lol.mel was spotted at a club 4,5 years ago here.thats the last i know.but maybe the legit source i know meant 2002.mel doesnt like new york i think.james-i havnt done l.a. in a long time.was planning on it last year.maybe the end of this year.i have a fear of flying and im broke. Stiffelio says on 28/Apr/08
The girls? What girls? Mel and Robin have only one daughter and six sons. Are you sure it was him? Heightdetective says on 27/Apr/08
Maybe Mel shrunked a little nowadays? James says on 27/Apr/08
glenn its funny if you lived in Los Angeles you would be getting celebs autographs and pictues all the time, that would of course depend on if they would be friendly or not? glenn says on 27/Apr/08
thats funny cause mel hasnt been here in nyc since 2002.and he is wearing boots in my pic.is he 5-10?.sure, possible.does he come to nyc on the regular?.complete bull****.maybe on the sneak he has been here a few time since 2002,but thats not on the regular.he does fly private.so he can sneak by me.but not all the time. Bill Davis says on 27/Apr/08
I was a limo driver in NYC and regularly pick Mel, his wife Robin and the girls up at the airport - I'm 5'-10" and was SLIGHTLY taller. Great people!!!! Brah says on 25/Apr/08
Mel Gibson wears lifts, Bill. Bill says on 25/Apr/08
Once again you guys are underestimating the height of a celebrity b/c most of them are rather short. But not Mel Gibson!!!! I have seen many pictures with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover side by side and Danny is not a half-foot taller than him. Maybe 4- 4 1/2 inches taller, or 5 inches MAX. Therefore, Mel Gibson is most likely 5'10 or 5'10.5 b/c Danny Glover is 6'3ish
Plus, he looks a good inch taller than Glenn here and he's leaning over a fair amount as well Heightwatcher says on 24/Apr/08
BTW I think he is 177-178 5 feet 9 - 5 feet 10 and not 5 feet 8 Heightwatcher says on 24/Apr/08
In Braveheart he played William Wallace. The real william wallace was REALLY TALL. I thought about 7 feet inches tall. I like the movie Breaveheart tho! lillo thomas says on 22/Apr/08
James 2 inches isn't a big difference between people (is only a notable difference ) . 4-5 inches now you can call it a big difference. James says on 22/Apr/08
Anon 2 inches is quite a big differnce between two people actually. Anon2008 says on 22/Apr/08
I think it looks shorter on paper. If you look at a 5'8 person next to a 5'9 person or even 5'10, the difference isn't that much at all. ACG says on 21/Apr/08
5'8 is short for a guy by almost ALL standards.
Though in reality, it's close to average height. anonymous says on 21/Apr/08
5'8 isn't short by any standards, and he made himself look more of an ass with that shindig on parkinson. Sean connery and co are all lanky freaks Anonymous says on 17/Apr/08
well movies don't really count because they always try to make them taller glenn says on 16/Apr/08
maybe rob is on point here.maybe. Xander says on 15/Apr/08
In what women want mel looks at least 3 or 4 cm taller then 5ft8 Mark Feuerstein... I would say 5ft9.5 is right for him! Rinkydick says on 11/Apr/08
He looked distinctly medium build in Lethal weapon, so 5ft8-5ft9 seems good I think. Rinkydick says on 11/Apr/08
He looked distinctly medium build in Lethal weapon, so 5ft8-5ft9 seems about right Jason says on 11/Apr/08
I think Mel Is about 1,72 m to 1,76 m , not more , sometimes he looks more taller because his built-up shoes , James says on 7/Apr/08
Mel does look a legit 5ft9er maybe 5ft9.5 in his youth. glenn says on 7/Apr/08
i meant tantrum.hit submit too fast. glenn says on 7/Apr/08
5-9 flat would make the most sense.because he has 5-7 sightings and 5-11 sightings.i forgot about this one guy i spoke too that met alot of celebs and was pretty accurate with guaging,and he described a temper tamptrum mel had precisely,kinda like my experience.thats how i knew he wasnt lying.he described mel as 5-7.like half my peers do. James says on 5/Apr/08
I think Mel is 5ft9 flat. glenn says on 4/Apr/08
night seemed 5-9.5 to me and i thought i read he was that.if he is 5-11,then that means mel is still in the 5-9ish area if you look at the signs premiere photos.if not,then mel is 5-8. runt says on 3/Apr/08
director m night shyamalan is listed at 5-11, here he is with Bryce Howard (5-7.5)+ heels
Click Here
Here he is on the set of 'Signs' with Mel Gibson
Click Here glenn says on 1/Apr/08
well,5-10 or 5-11 is a big difference in determining mels height based on parky. guk says on 1/Apr/08
Two parts of the interview are on youtube, but not the bit about his height.
But here is the bbc press article
Click Here
they have Parkinson at 5ft 11, like I said Gibson was a little shy of that despite claiming the same height, but not that much less, I'd say from memory an inch or so. He's definitely not short James says on 1/Apr/08
I am sure Parkinson is 5ft10 becuase he didn't look that short next to Michael Caine or Peter O'Tool and he looked near Robbie Williams height as well. glenn says on 1/Apr/08
yeah me too.except how sure are we of the height of parky? Me56 says on 31/Mar/08
Hey People- I'm asking for a big favor here.....I wanna see that Parkinson episode where Mel takes off his shoes so can anybody give me a clue Pleeeeeeeease glenn says on 31/Mar/08
around the 5-9 marks makes most sense for mel.but that means russel wore lifts. Anonymous says on 31/Mar/08
I'd guess under 5'9". Looks short at times. ACG says on 30/Mar/08
oh and is anybody else not able to post on the stallone page? whenever i've tried recently, it would take me to a blank screen instead of the usual link that takes you back to the homepage. and my post wouldn't go through. afaik it's only the stallone page but i obviously don't post on every other celeb's page! ACG says on 30/Mar/08
yeah, i meant to say he *looks* 6 ft. occasionally, i suppose. like next to ron howard. but as glenn stated earlier there are too many 5'7 sightings to ignore such as the pic next to kurt russell. but he could really be only a hair under 5'10, imho. guk says on 30/Mar/08
On Parkinson he was smaller by an inch or a little more, even though he claimed they were the same height so 5ft 9.5 seems accurate James says on 30/Mar/08
No way in million year is Mel Gibson 6ft even though he can look it next to Denzel Washington and Jim Carrey? James says on 30/Mar/08
No way in million year is Mel Gibson 6ft even though he can look it next to Denzel Washington and Jim Carrey? glenn says on 30/Mar/08
metric.he is wearing cowboy boots.now i dont have a problem with him being 5-9 to 5-10.but i also dont have a problem with him being 5-8.i dont see 6ft.i see 5-10.5.,5-11.like i said he seemed 5-11 this night.but with the boots. ACG says on 29/Mar/08
yes.....and he's at least 6' with those boots he has on. Metric says on 27/Mar/08
Wow. It really mattered that the pic of Glenn and Mel is now shown magnified! Now the true difference in height is revealed. If Mel stood up straight he looks every bit 5'9.5" here. Metric says on 26/Mar/08
we all know journalists tell the truth...come on Anonymous says on 25/Mar/08
When you see a hollywood star in different pics with different stature appearance,5'8 once and again some claiming 5'10.what does that tell you?which one of them make sense the most to be the real stature??the upper hand which is 5'10????The fact is that One can gain height but its impossible to gain shortage!!!!mel is definitely below 5'9.it isnt that hard to judge!.believe me! ACG says on 24/Mar/08
no, marcelo....glenn has said that mel is 5-8 barefoot at the very very least.
he tends to look 6'. glenn says on 24/Mar/08
someone on the site mentioned he said 5-9 at a radio station.his official height has him at 5-10.in a magazine i read he said he wanted to dispel rumors that he was short and that he was 5-11.i saw him at 5-11 in cowboy boots.5-9ish,5-10 in casuals.but my friends would claim 5-7,5-8 and he could confusingly look that in some pics too.next to kurt russel and m night.interesting story marcelo. Marcelo C. says on 24/Mar/08
Some years ago, a journalist who interviewed M. Gibson said that when he met him in a hotel lounge in L.A., he was strongly surprised by Mel´s height (said he was quite so short). He also said that Mel was about 5´5", and that in high heels + lifts, Mel could be 5´8" at his most. I think if this jourlalist saw him in person, there shouldn´t be so much mistake range between what he said and reality. Mickey says on 24/Mar/08
Wow, just seen a pic on getty with Gibson and Kevin Costner at the dances with wolves premier looking a similar height... How someone can look 5-8 then almost 6-1 i have no clue. Mickey says on 24/Mar/08
Theres a picture from 1993 on Getty images with Mel and Stallone and they are exactly the same height... Then theres pics with Mel towering Marisa Tomei by a whole head, but another with him at the same height as Helen Hunt in heels. He does wear cowboy boots alot of the times though. Truly an enigma. Up there with Stallone in my opinion. ACG says on 23/Mar/08
glenn, did he himself really say as low as 5'9 once? at the top of this page it says he also claimed 5-10, too. So has he said he was 5'9, 5'10 and 5'11 at different times? Or are one of those heights a misquote? Not to doubt you, but it seems unlikely he would put himself at 5'9....especially when he's already listed(and believed to be) 5'10 all over the 'net. And he can easily look it in films....heck, he looks it in person too! You thought he was 5'11 when you met him, right?
So I don't see why he'd cop to being 5'9-even if he was. Kevint says on 23/Mar/08
GF: Heath was probably about 5' 10". Bear in mind while watching Heath soon in the Dark Knight that co-star Christian Bale is nowhere close to his 6'+ "publicity height".
I think realistically, for Mel, a height of 5' 9" in shoes is about right. He is not a large man. Jocko says on 23/Mar/08
Leonari and TJ I said that the problem is that in real life celebitys are on the mediocre height range, I'm quite aware that it's not the end of the world that a celebrity isn't 5ft11 plus. It's just an observation. I also heard Mel is 5ft8-5ft9 and thats average height. Maybe not a problem, but don't assume I think that it's a bigger social issue than global warming. "Celebritys below 5ft11, must be stopped." Jesus Christ. You people get the point now? glenn says on 23/Mar/08
gibson has said 5-11 and 5-9 for his height.and scott stapp from creed and my peers say 5-7 for mel.yet mel can look 6ft next to 5-9 ron howard and 5-7 next to 5-9 kurt russell.perplexing. GF says on 22/Mar/08
5'9 1/2" is believable. I wouldn't be surprised if he was taller. He wasn't much shorter than Heath (RIP) in "The Patriot." Anonymous says on 22/Mar/08
Mel Gibson is definitely below 5'10.we are not fooling anybody.we all have seen him in various shots in different movies.There is no way in hell that is the build of a 5'10 man or even near that.He is in 5'8-5'9 range. dmeyer says on 17/Mar/08
he does apear noticably taller than pheonix and downey jr so 5'10 peak Xander says on 17/Mar/08
Hi folks!I always have been a big fan of Gibsons movie, and it's been a while now, since i started paying attention to celeb's height, and i saw a interview SOME time ago with mel gibson and Tom Delonge, and i searched tom delonge height and he is listed 6ft4, gibson was probably wearing some big heels at that moment (there's some angles that makes mel gibson very short besides Delonge, but when the camera put's them side to side he(Delonge) has 5 ou 6 cm max on gibson)..But i think he's 5ft9.5 or maybe a 5ft10 in a good day!
ACG, did you found that video you're looking for? :P (Parkinson's video)
[[]] miko says on 15/Mar/08
5"9 flat for Mel. (175cm) ACG says on 14/Mar/08
I agree. Even though Elle was clearly either misinformed or just flat-out mistaken, it still gave Phoenix no right to come down so hard on him/her(sorry, some of the user names around here are ambiguous). While wrong about the facts, Elle wasn't being trying to cause harm in any way(as far as we know) and seemed to have good intentions.
I wish people would be more considerate around here....... Marcelo C. says on 11/Mar/08
Phoenix: I don´t know if you are right or not on your opinion about Mel Gibson´s height. What I´m sure about is that your comment on Elle´s opinion, calling her "dumb or something" is absolutely disrespectful and ignorant. The first, as everyone has the right of posting his/her own opinion (besides, what Elle said about Mel´s height is quite a frequent opinion), and the second as if you aren´t absolutely sure about others´ opinion not agreeing yours, you shouldn´t criticize so hardly an unknown person for you.
This is a site to make opinions, not to disrespect others. You can express your disagreement, but you don´t have the right to illtreat a person you don´t know. As you´ll see, everyday you can learn something. Phoenix says on 10/Mar/08
Elle you must be kind a dumb or something.. if you whatched the same "signs" that i did, gibson has at least one inch on Joaquin Phoenix(i don't know if he was wearing heels or not, cause wasn't there), and he's an old man already, i could say he was 5ft10 or even 5ft10.5 on his prime, but at this moment 5 ft 9.5 is the accurate height for mel! GSP says on 10/Mar/08
good luck ACG. James says on 10/Mar/08
glenn i was amazed when i saw those pictures of mel next to Denzel Washington and Jim Carrey becuase he actually looked 6ft in those photos lol i wonder what kind of lifts this guy wears? glenn says on 10/Mar/08
i dont understand how he looks 5-11,6ft in that one photo near ron howard and 5-7 next kurt russell at a movie premiere.and 5-8 at the signs premiere.i saw mel looking 5-9,5-10 in signs the movie.an inch at the most i thought next to phoenix.there was a women in the movie who was of mels height or slightly taller i thought.what does that make her then,6ft? if he was 3 inches taller than phoenix? i remember mel and phoenix of similiar height.but this was 2002.maybe i forgot what i saw.mel and phoenix were of similiar height at the signs premiere and m night was slightly taller.i bumped into night,and he was indeed the 5-9.5 he was claimed at.that the made the other men in the 5-8ish region. ACG says on 9/Mar/08
I've actually heard other people mention that film in regards to Mel looking short. He's obviously above 5'6, but maybe it could somehow fuel the 5'8 rumors. James says on 9/Mar/08
Rob when you first added him to this site what height was he originally?
[Editor Rob: I remember 178cm for a while, maybe 2004 I started him 179, he's been 177 for a long while now.] Anonymous says on 8/Mar/08
Just seen 'When we were Men' Mel looks tiny in that movie. He is no more than 5'6" barefoot. ACG says on 6/Mar/08
"The other day I caught Mel on some show on BBC America (Parkinson?) and he was talking about the famous ‘Incredible Shrinking Bond’ chart. He claimed the chart had his height very wrong and proved that he wasn’t so short by standing back to back with the show’s host. (The host had about a half inch on him.) Mel then pulled off his shoes to prove he wasn’t wearing lifts.
The problem for me is I have no idea how tall the host of the show was. He looked short too."
--Taken from a James Bond message board. Looks like someone who saw that Parky episode saw Mel actually take off his shoes.
I'm going to use my super Internet research skills to try and find the clips of Mel on Michael Parkinson's show. This will help put the case to rest. The whole fiasco is starting to drive me crazy!
If I am successful, I will upload them and post a link for everyone to see.
I am fairly confident that this will happen. As Glenn knows, I have a few "connections." That's pretty much all I can say about that...
Wish me luck! ACG says on 6/Mar/08
I'll also eat my underwear if he's 5'6....seriously, did you even know which guy was Mel Gibson, Elle? Mel was about 2-3 solid inches taller than Joaquin. Easily. Elle says on 6/Mar/08
I really don't think he's anywhere near 5'9.5. In signs he is considerably shorter than Joaquin Phoenix who I think is maybe under 5'8 (only slightly though). I think he's 5'6 or something. ACG says on 6/Mar/08
From what I've read here, if Mel Gibson is 1.80 m barefoot, I will eat my underwear! peter says on 6/Mar/08
mel gibson is clearly taller than ron howard who i belive is five nine so five eleven sounds accurate for mel gibson. glenn says on 2/Mar/08
thanks pierre.where are you from? Pierre says on 1/Mar/08
I just want to thank Glenn for sheding the light on the height issue. I think that what you are doing here is great man, I stand 5.9" and i always thought of myself as being short, but after going through this site, am really relieved. Keep up the good work man. Winter Rose says on 28/Feb/08
5'9.5'' really isn't that short. I don't know why people are making him out to be a dwarf when he's half an inch above average. That's like a 5'4.5'' chick, and trust me, she wouldn't be considered super short- she'd just be normal. James says on 28/Feb/08
i suppose if your an action hearo in a movie it's important to look as tall as you can and fans get dispointed when your not 6ft plus in person. hence why stars where a little thing called 'lifts' leonari says on 28/Feb/08
Jocko: a problem...right...it must be worlds biggest problem... mediocre height? Man... TJ says on 28/Feb/08
Why is it a problem Jocko? It's not the end of the world if a star isn't 6'4. If a star is a great actor and has good screen presence, height is irrelevant, other than for those who think lack of height is inherently negative. Jocko says on 28/Feb/08
Thats the problem with so many holloywood celebritys. In real life there on the mediocre height range James says on 26/Feb/08
yeah i have heard 5ft8 a lot for Mel too talker says on 26/Feb/08
he looks an inch shorter than Kurt Russel in the photos with Goldie,and looks 3" shorter than Willis in the photos with Demi.In his movies he doesnt look any more than 5'8",thats what i see him,its a common height for leading men who can pass for average but being below average.If anything i would believe shorter than that but not taller. James says on 26/Feb/08
I think Mel uses the 2 inch hollywood rule when he claims he is 5ft11 ACG says on 25/Feb/08
why should we? are you mel? ;-) fabian says on 24/Feb/08
Mel is not more than 174cm...believe me. glenn says on 18/Feb/08
anything is possible with mel.5-8,5-9 is extremely possible for him too. ACG says on 18/Feb/08
i don't think mel has a peak height yet. chances are he's always been 5'8, possibly 5'9. tho less of a chance on 5'9. glenn says on 17/Feb/08
anything is possible.id say 5-10 peak and he shrunk. peter says on 17/Feb/08
hello again do you reckon that mel could have been 5'11 at his peak Richie says on 17/Feb/08
@ brah
Denzel does look like atleast an inch over Mel in that pic, if u compare the shoulders! But considering id never giv Dnzel over 6' Mel here is around 5'10" which is fairly accurate!
Only Mad Max always looked like the perfect height to me ... and now when im that height, it still feels short :) ACG says on 16/Feb/08
yes, but parkinson's height is somewhat of a mystery, too. this site lists him as 5'10, but according to some posts on his page, he could be as low as 5'8 these days. peter says on 16/Feb/08
mel gibson stood next to michael parkinson and i remember them being exactly the same height Truth says on 11/Feb/08
..that "Bond" height is a joke! Connery was never 6'3"....... chris175 says on 8/Feb/08
denzels height is dodgy recently, see him looking shorter than usual in pics, must have been the weight he is carrying, mel is 5-9 Brah says on 7/Feb/08
runt, that is a bad picture... Mel is much closer to the camera. His head is not really 1.5 times bigger than Denzel's head. Their heads are about the same size in reality.
Look at their shoulders and you can tell that Denzel is easily taller. Denzel would be about 2 inches taller if that picture was at a good angle. GSP says on 6/Feb/08
WTF..mel looks like a giant there lol. He looks 6 foot. runt says on 6/Feb/08
Recent pic of gibson and D.Washington. Bad angle but gibson does give a 5-11 impression (or is this one of those D.Washington 5-10 moments?)
Click Here ACG says on 5/Feb/08
ironically enough, it looks as though the most accurate height on that chart may be mel's. seriously! glenn says on 5/Feb/08
yeah,i remember that.mel commented on it.saying it said 5-4.and that he is 5-11. poster says on 4/Feb/08
came across that bond picture the other day
Click Here glenn says on 4/Feb/08
i think he is 5-8.with a possibilty of being taller.thats robs estimate on top. Anonymous says on 3/Feb/08
glenn i have heard loads of 5ft8 rumors for mel do you still think he is smidge under 5ft10 or closer to 5ft9 glenn says on 2/Feb/08
i think the rumor long ago was they would remake a couple of halloweens possibly.i dont think itll happen now.it was ok.there was way worse.i hate remakes and they usually suck,so im not sure if i could recommend any.i thought there was one good one.cant remember offhand.will get back to you. ACG says on 2/Feb/08
yeah, do you think that they'll start making sequels to this "rebirth" of the franchise? i agree with you glenn that it wasn't great, so i really think that one is enough. but i did enjoy it.
any recent(past 5-6 years) horror remakes that you'd wholeheartedly recommend? glenn says on 24/Jan/08
that would easily be men of the year i guess if they have nothing in common.shaq has his arms around seinfeld.and mel is in front of them.btw i watched halloween.i liked it.it wasnt great.but better than other remakes. Metric says on 24/Jan/08
That was funny ACG. lol ACG says on 23/Jan/08
mel gibson, seinfeld and shaq together? that's a weird combination. what did they have in common to be featured on the same cover?
and they probably were not physically in the same place. there's no way on earth mel would be able to tolerate standing near a jew for so long.
also i bet mel took one look at that picture and blamed the jew-controlled press for making him look 5-8. it's a conspiracy, i tell you!! glenn says on 23/Jan/08
no.mel has a habit of not being friendly. Andre says on 23/Jan/08
That Grazer guys is 5ft 6 barefoot, its obvious and Gibson is 2 inch taller (barefoot) metalmaster says on 23/Jan/08
glenn mel was friendly in the pic at top of the page?I have felt that mel isnt friendly with his fan.. glenn says on 23/Jan/08
i barely remember those pics with stallone,but i kinda do.more evidence to the 5-8 territory.gq magazine cover,1998 or 1999.mel,shaq,and seinfeld on the cover.mel looks 5-8 next to them,full body shot,and seinfeld is around 5-11.some claim as low as 5-10.seinfeld can appear 6ft in public.surprised mel wouldnt wear lifts to a shoot like that.unless they wernt in the same room.but on covers like that they are 100 percent of the time. Andre says on 22/Jan/08
Doesnt that photo posted by ACG look suspicious?? definitely some liftaction going on there if u ask me ACG says on 19/Jan/08
but why are there pics where mel is clearly TALLER than stallone?
and about signs-i haven't seen it in awhile either, but i do remember not knowing who phoenix was and thinking, "wow, that guy must be really short" when he stood next to mel. i was under the impression mel was 5-8 back then, so i was just surprised to look up phoenix(back then) and see he himself was 5'8. that's when i started believing 5'10 for mel. now i'm not so sure.
the thing is is that my little brother is 5-8 and it's just hard to comprehend him being the same height as mel!!! seriously, i can't imagine him looking even near mel's height in pics or on screen! and i can't see mel being eye to eye with my brother in person. i know it's all kinda silly to be saying all this, considering the element of lifts, but i guess that's why so many people who meet a liftless mr gibson exclaim about how short he is in real life!!
if he's truly only 5-8(which it seems as though he is), he sure knows how to trick people. viewing him on-screen i never in a million years would get the impression of a below average height man. for a 5-8 man, i gotta give him credit for playing william wallace. not only did he NOT look completely ridiculous, but he was pretty damn convincing too! wallace was no less than 6'7, btw. to pull off an accurate portrayal of someone eleven inches taller than oneself is quite a feat! glenn says on 19/Jan/08
nothing is impossible cause of the trickieness of 5-10 men,but i agree,i think in his case it isnt a stallone.but a legit 5-8ish guy that can know how to look tall. Viper says on 18/Jan/08
5-10 is impossible for Mel. As is the 5-6 stuff. Slight chance hes 5-9. As with 5-7. More than likely to me hes 5-8. glenn says on 18/Jan/08
stapp is the singer of creed.now i havnt seen signs in 5 years,but i dont recall mel looking anywhere near that.i remember them of similiar height with mel looking an inch more at most at times.either way,im talking about the premiere.m night is a legit 5-9.5,as he was next to me,and he was taller than both mel and phoenix. chris175 says on 18/Jan/08
174 or 175 sounds about right, im 5-9 and have friends who are 5-11 and some times due to posture we can look very similar in height, and then other days it is clear that there is at least 2 inches of difference. height is also so easily altered by footwear that even a 5-9 mel can look 6-0... ted says on 18/Jan/08

Hi.I'm from Rome.My father and my mother saw Mel Gibson walking in my city some years ago(in rome there are "cinecittà studios",where Fonda played "once upon the time in the west"...).My father is 1,78 and he insist that Gibson is shorter than 1,75.He said me:"Mel Gibson is shorter than me,is very short".My mother said that he was beatiful but short.So for me the theory of 5'8" for Mel is true...
------------------------------
I agree with you acg says on 18/Jan/08
thanks glenn. but you said he looked 5-8 next to phoenix? phoenix is 5-8 himself and mel had a good several inches on him in signs. are you saying mel was wearing lifts in that movie as opposed to the premiere? i never saw those pics.
and according to the top of this page, he also claimed 5-10 in 1990.
and who is scott stapp? glenn says on 18/Jan/08
im with you on this one viper.i dont know how he can look that tall.and then 5-8 in other pics.i do agree he looks 5-10 on average.i just dont think he is. Viper says on 18/Jan/08
Impressive picture though. I still think hes 5-8 barefoot. glenn says on 17/Jan/08
didnt scott stapp(5-10) say 5-7 for mel? glenn says on 17/Jan/08
but mel has also claimed 5-9.from his original 5-11.and alot of short sightings.still not sure on him.he looked 5-8 next phoenix and m night at the premiere. acg-there is an unrated version,theatrical and different ending.plus the workprint.so thats 3 or 4.depending if im wrong on a version. dmeyer says on 17/Jan/08
i think gibson was 178 cm solid peak wath do you think rob
[Editor Rob: I think 177 is most I'd give him because he did wear cowboy heels abit.] dmeyer says on 17/Jan/08
to me mel never looked short he looked almost 5'11 in lethal weapen but he had boots so 5'10 peak ,and 5'9.5 now ACG says on 17/Jan/08
you're very welcome glenn! i hope you enjoy it! now all i have to do is watch the other two versions, too. but which is the third version? i know there was the leaked screener that i sent you and the theatrical release of course, but which was the other one? thanks. glenn says on 17/Jan/08
mel is standing next to a really short guy and is probably wearing a sophisticated lift.mel is still in the 5-9 to 5-10 area here though.impressive against my 5-8 theories.and others that say 5-7. glenn says on 17/Jan/08
i studied that pic some more.at first mel looks 5-11,6ft easy.but i realised this gentleman i never heard of is in no way in hell 5-8. 5-5,5-6 more like it.cause ron howard was 5-9 peak.and even thats argued.so mel might 5-10 max there,which is still impressive,as howard might be 5-8 now or was always. glenn says on 17/Jan/08
acg-got the dvd!!!! many heartfelt thanks!!!! now,itll probably take me a week to find time to sit down and watch it.id like to watch all 3 versions together.maybe ill buy the official soon too.again,thank!!!! glenn says on 16/Jan/08
amazing pic.i saw mel look the same as jim carrey too.couldnt see the feet.i would ask autograph dealers.one said 6-1 for mel.the other said 5-8.i dont know how mel does it.google signs premiere.mel looks 5-8ish there.and then mel looks 5-7 next to kurt russell at i guess their premiere.mind boggling. ACG says on 16/Jan/08
lol, i still can't imagine how mel could be only 5'7-5'8.....or even 5'9. the man literally vertically dominates brian grazer(the guy in the middle) the height difference between them is almost a head if you can look past grazer's really high and spiky hair. and grazer himself is listed as 5'8. and on top of that it's a full body shot and grazer's shoes look more likely to be "suspicious" than mels!! comments?
Click Here glenn says on 16/Jan/08
i just missed ron last week.i lost my original pic with him.i didnt realise mel can do that next to ron.yeah,im surprised rob still has him that high. Lmeister says on 16/Jan/08
His height varies quite a lot in the 90's he was approximately the same height as Ron Howard. Nowadays he looks 2 inches taller than Ron. Judging ppl heights by built is inaccurate, but in every pic he is wearing low cut shoes he seems closer to 5ft8 than 5ft10. GSP says on 15/Jan/08
Im VERY surprised mel is still at 5'9.5 ACG says on 11/Jan/08
your success rate is 99%? no offense, but that sounds kinda cocky.....and do you mean success in terms of everything or just determining people's heights? if the latter how exactly do you measure that, lol. Anonymous says on 10/Jan/08
barefoot height at 5'8.5 Road sign? ROAD SIGN ROMEO says on 9/Jan/08
WRONG sorry, and ive actually seen him in prson and done an accurate visual measurement, i saw him in ireland when i was on holiday and he was shooting braveheart and i had him at 5'8.5 . in person my success rate is about 99% glenn says on 9/Jan/08
i just saw a horrendous pic, a friend of mine has of him standing next to a head faced down mel,and though its terrible to judge,i could imagine mel being 5-8 next to my 5-10 friend. Viper says on 8/Jan/08
Mel looks 5-8 to me. glenn says on 8/Jan/08
he can be as low as 5-8.hell,ive seen illusions and claims of 5-7 for mel.but no way in hell 5-6. he is 5-8 or 5-9. Caesar says on 7/Jan/08
Ha ha ha ha ha, 5'6 for Mel Gibson? Ah, I love this site. Metric says on 7/Jan/08
You can't be serious! 5'6" for Mel is way low. He is 5'9" at least. glenn says on 6/Jan/08
when did he ever say 5-8? never.he has claimed 5-11 two times,and 5-9 another.5-11 for parkys show. Anonymous says on 5/Jan/08
If Mel is saying 5-8 on Parkinson, he is using the 2 inch rule, hence he is 5-6 barefoot, which what he has appears to me....
He does have short limbs, which gives an indication of his height..... glenn says on 4/Jan/08
anonymous-he is wearing boots here.true metric.ive thought of that. Sam says on 4/Jan/08
5'9 max for mel gibson. no taller then that. Metric says on 3/Jan/08
Maybe it is "artistic temperament" that makes Mel so unpleasant to be around. Anonymous says on 1/Jan/08
hes like slouching in that picture, I would say 5'10. Footsoldier says on 28/Dec/07
I agreed Livingston..I like mel, ok he doesn't like jews and gay people, sure he is on his rights to dislike them..but he also donates a lot of money to charity. ACG can you enlight me about gibson behavior? i can see that you are sort of update on this subject!Thanks livingston says on 28/Dec/07
by height mel can be lower than many;but by thinking he is very tall that no one can reach his height. glenn says on 27/Dec/07
exactly jason.people say things they hear from others too,and dont really believe deep down in what they repeat.just stupidity. Jason says on 26/Dec/07
Yeah, the flood victims down there. He gives millions to charity - a bad person wouldn't do that. He has issues with anger and bigotry. Not good ... though, you don't know how much be buys into stuff he's said. Many people say - even habitually - bad stuff about Jews, gays, or whoever, and don't hate them. And his life-long drinking problem... glenn says on 25/Dec/07
that my friends witnessed. ACG says on 25/Dec/07
and also told a female journalist to "**** off" during a press conference for that movie. ;-) glenn says on 25/Dec/07
thats true jason.and helped alot of people during the filming of apocalyptico(sp?). Jason says on 24/Dec/07
He gives a lot of money to charity. AshnarLynx says on 23/Dec/07
I agree with you AGC. And instead of saying he doesn't support his father's views, he said "He's my father, leave it!" I always thought Gibson looked like a sort of thickie. glenn says on 22/Dec/07
i agree metric. Metric says on 21/Dec/07
I like Mels movies and his style as an actor but he is surely not on the Top 10 of people I would most like to hang out with. glenn says on 21/Dec/07
point well taken nashville.you are a gentleman.continue being here.i like people like you who dont get hostile when given constructive criticism.if we can even call it that. nashville says on 21/Dec/07
Glenn, sorry to come across like I did. I am as facinated as anyone here in celebrity heights. I just meant that if a person had Mel's looks, seems like height would take a back seat. glenn says on 21/Dec/07
did he really look taller.wow.strange.im a mel gibson fan actually.i just speak the truth.i see all his sides.sure,he can be nice on occasion.so is anyone thats infamous. ACG says on 20/Dec/07
funny thing I just watched ransom and mel looked taller than Sinise.
Cameron, you're the one who accused glenn of talking "B.S." in the first place. YOU are the one who seems to elevating yourself above everyone else, including glenn, by telling us the unlikely story of spending half and hour talking to mel gibson. You argue that glenn provoked mel, and then made the bold statement that "mel is a good person" as if you and mel were/are lifelong friends.
Mel is a good person? Mel who says "his father never lied to him." And who is his father? A lifelong holocaust denier and flat out anti-semite. So Mel is basically confirming that he agrees with all of his dad's hateful and ignorant theories and views.
And don't even get me started on how he treated the gay community.....
Mel has a lot of talent and makes great movies. But by no means is he anywheres near a "good person."
He may be nice to some fans just for the sake of publicity(when cameras are around) but as glenn has said, other times he can be downright nasty.
I absolutely hate him. glenn says on 20/Dec/07
good point lmeister. Cameron says on 20/Dec/07
ACG honestly.. who nominated you the administrator of this website??? It Was glenn? No?? So you are at the same level as i am! And you don't even know me, and you called me ignorant..?? Ok you're right, i'm not even American or english.. But i'm sure that you can understand and read this: GO **** YOURSELF!
Did i write it wrong? I don't think so! Lmeister says on 20/Dec/07
Gary might wear lifts that is always one possibility. He seems to be that kind of guy who knows exactly what height and weight he really is and doesn't lie. He can look 5ft10, but a lot of legit 5ft8 can look anywhere from 5ft6 to 5ft10. That would explain short sightings about Mel Gibson. glenn says on 19/Dec/07
taken in 1993.its about mel or other celebs looking 5-7 to 5-11 depending on the day.its about pinning down the exact height.if you were watchin awhile and say who cares? then why bother being here at all? with all due respect. glenn says on 19/Dec/07
exactly leonari.i mentioned to him "your 5-8?,you seem taller".he remained silent.either lifts or he doesnt know his height well. nashville says on 19/Dec/07
I have been perusing this site for quite a while, but have never commented. I am amazed at the ongoing conversations about Mel and so many others. I think it's great! If one look like Mel, whether they are 5'7" or 6'7", who cares? LOL! Glenn, this info is probably somewhere on the site, but when was the above pic taken? leonari says on 19/Dec/07
cool Glenn. But is it possible that he is near 5'10 " and not aware of it?? I would rather say lifts are involved but he still gives his real height when asked. 5'8" would fit Gibson if you ask me. glenn says on 19/Dec/07
except strangely sinese looked 5-10 to me when he said this.i have a pic to post soon. ACG says on 19/Dec/07
ronan: Aren't you that guy who everyone hates around here?
If you really care to criticize my use of the English language, you should know that the word "you" consists of three letters, rather than one. Not to mention there's no such word as "theyr." Did you happen to forget the apostrophe and second "e"?? I'm usually not anal about punctuation or grammatical errors, but if you really need to bring the issue up I'll be happy to help correct "ur" sorry, hypocritical self.
Next time you chose to insult one's intellect and articulation, you may want to consider having a dictionary or thesaurus readily available. Or at least invest in hooked on phonics. Lmeister says on 18/Dec/07
As I recall Glenn said that Gary Sinise told him that he was 5ft8 and the same height as Mel Gibson. Im I wrong? If Sinise said that he is 5ft8 you should downgrade him maybe consider downgrading Mel Gibson too. ronan says on 17/Dec/07
ACG, u feel celebrities owe u something just because u go watch their movies or buy their records? they just do their jobs and theyr talented. nobody obliges u to buy their stuff. dont talk **** about the ones that dont speak good english especially when urs is not very proper. david rossi says on 16/Dec/07
Hi.I'm from Rome.My father and my mother saw Mel Gibson walking in my city some years ago(in rome there are "cinecittà studios",where Fonda played "once upon the time in the west"...).My father is 1,78 and he insist that Gibson is shorter than 1,75.He said me:"Mel Gibson is shorter than me,is very short".My mother said that he was beatiful but short.So for me the theory of 5'8" for Mel is true... glenn says on 15/Dec/07
good for you cameron.i love these one encounter people too.i see all sides of every celeb over 17 years of meeting them repeatedly.as with my friends.so for camerons small world it is the be all,end all.cameron knows best. Metric says on 15/Dec/07
Cameron: Unless you are a 5'10" supermodel (and nothing "hanging" in the crotch) I seriously doubt that Mel would spend 30 mins chatting away with you. Or maybe he would? Holy crap, Batman! Could Mel be g..??? NOOOO way. ACG says on 15/Dec/07
no problem, glenn.
cameron: uh, yeah. whatever. i think i'll take someone with about 7,000 celeb encounter pics(including mel's) word over your's any day. seriously, if you're going to talk **** on people, get lost.
i'm tired of ignorant people that hardly seem to know english coming on here and running their mouths against people(primarily glenn). i'm willing to bet 99% if not all of their so-called "encounters" turned out to be lies.
and i don't think mel was ever 180 or 178 cm. Cameron says on 15/Dec/07
Glenn I was an i am a fan of gibson movies, and i had the oportunity to meet him once, and we talked like an half an hour, and he has a nice person to me, never act superior or anything! And what you're saing is B.S if he was mad at you is because you provoke him.. Mel is a good Person! 178cm to mel now, 180 at his peak! glenn says on 15/Dec/07
exactly acg.thank you. ACG says on 14/Dec/07
yes, they tend to forget that we paid for their house, cars, etc..... glenn says on 12/Dec/07
how were you to know helene.it is a bizzare pic.celebs would be in for a rude awakening if we ignored them. Metric says on 12/Dec/07
Glenn, does Mel only have the "guts" to act like an asshole when his bodyguards are around or is it the same when he is alone? Hélène says on 11/Dec/07
To Glenn and Hi, I regret I misunderstood this photo. Glenn's smile is what is radiating the good karma despite what Mel is up to. I can see what you both point out now about Mel. It's sad he was not in a better mood. It would have been nice had he just smiled and thanked Glenn for acknowleding him. What would happen if he had been ignored -- I wonder if he would have changed his tune? To answer your question, Hi, I was born in New Orleans, La. I am an American with many different lineages, and one of the many includes French. But this is not why I was named Hélène. That's another story -- too detailed for here. Thank you for asking. glenn says on 11/Dec/07
i dont disagree there pete.except i dont check peoples height as much as youd think.i do though.as far as deep,at least im doing my own thing.better than 9-5.i dont have skills or talents otherwise,but i have my street smarts,intelligence,and reading of people to back me up.i sniff peoples intentions better than most.not refering to you. no problem acg.i never felt that way. Metric says on 11/Dec/07
I don't think Mel has any particular fighting skills. However he looks pretty strong. ACG says on 11/Dec/07
Pete: glenn has said that his profession has nothing to do with determining the heights of celebrities. he only contributes generously to this site on his free time.
glenn: sorry if it looked like i came down hard on you, didn't know he had previously agreed to pose. and yeah, i don't think the words "mel gibson" and "great guy" should ever be used in the same sentence without a negative adjective. Pete says on 11/Dec/07
True, glenn. Im busy living my own life and you are busy following people and checking their height and autograph, real deep thing. BUT I have a right to express my own opinion if i meet some celebrities in restaurants or hotels. You have to think that not everyone is in a good mood all the time. glenn says on 10/Dec/07
i tapped him on the shoulder cause he agreed to pose for me,but looking around not paying attention to where the camera was. glenn says on 10/Dec/07
why are you even on this site or page pete? you are almost as guilty as the next person.the only difference is you dont see celebrities except through me,then you want to sound off i gather? mel a great guy? an alright guy on occasion. Pete says on 10/Dec/07
Saw him once in London and was surprised of how tiny he was. he was also semi balding. Hes a great guy and I understand hes so sick of pests trying to get close to him when ur that huge of a celebrity...even when ur not even a celebrity id say! ACG says on 10/Dec/07
lol glenn and i said almost the same thing without knowing it, but i guess his post came in first.
funny you mention m night, as just today i learned that he lives right in my area and is known to visit the bookstore i work in frequently. very good chance i'll run into him sooner or later....if so, it would be my first celeb encounter ever.
and helene, glenn has said previously that mel was being very unfriendly at that particular moment, and was swearing at him.
but glenn, did you really tap mel on his shoulder?? if so, i could see why he was mad. i certainly wasn't there, so i can't really judge, but i'm sure mel was sick and tired of being touched and nudged for attention, being the high profile celeb that he was(and is). kinda like that time when tobey maguire broke the photographer's camera for touching him and nobody felt sorry for him or the camera, due to the fact that he breached tobey's personal space. the whole incident is on tape, and from viewing it it seems that tobey was in the right. do you think it's possible that you violated mel's comfort zone?
he probably overreacted, but celebs do deserve privacy too.
that being said, there's still so many god-damn reasons to hate this guy. glenn says on 9/Dec/07
im not sure if he is a martial artist.dont think he is.but maybe.violent,no.but with his temper im surprised it never lead to that.he did swing his arm around in way that mightve clipped me had i not been fast.its a crazy pic taken in midflight of a range of actions and emotions. mofo says on 9/Dec/07
glenn he sounds violent did he try to hit you or did it feel he wanted to you know in his eyes (you can always read a person by his eyes?
Also is he really a martial arts expert like in lethal weapon or is that only for the films? hi says on 9/Dec/07
To Hélène, acg said it on Oct, 27 and Glenn confirmed on Nov, 21st, just read the posts. If you look at Mel Gibson's hands, the gesture suggests that he's pushing Glenn away, which confirms that he wasn't in the most gentle mood. Taking celebs' pictures doesn't seem to always be an easy task...Hélène are you French ? THe spelling of your name suggests so. |
