lol, marcus.....you are joking, no?
burby says on 19/Mar/10
Marcus, you're confusing Mels height with Emiles height(5'5" tops, if that). Easy to do considering what Mel has been wearing lately though. realist says on 19/Mar/10
yes gibbo is 5,6 joe pesci 4 ,11 ,danny glover 5 ,11, rene russo 5,4 , robert de niro 5,3, jet lie 5,2 amazing what hollywood can do. marcus says on 19/Mar/10
Only one on this site I have to respectfully disagree. No way. No....way.
I'll assume it's not because he's of Scottish ancestry and some here may want to protect their own. I will take the high road, the positive way, and assume the best. It's just a simple oversight. Again, I say, no way. No possible way he's 5'10" or even 5'8". Just aint so.
In Maverick, when he's paired with Jodie Foster, who is about 5'3" you can clearly see she's almost his height. And some of the scenes both are not wearing lifts. He's about 5'5" perhaps almost 5'6". Maybe it's 'coz his body type is in good shape, he gives the appearance of being a bigger person, whatever.
Yeah, he's 5'8"...in 2.5 inch lifts. Have to always bear in mind in US, 5'8"'s the gold standard of average/medium/mean for adult male height. Few want to say that they're not even at the medium level. Hollywood takes it to the extreme sometimes, of course. So there you are.
5'5" and a half, maybe 5'6" tops for him. Without lifts of course. realist says on 15/Mar/10
mel is at least 5,9 5,10, in cowboys boots six foot ,6,1 he had stopped wearing them, but new girlfriend seems to equal mid life crisis, at least theres noe earing yet! ka says on 13/Mar/10
well Gibson's height listing in this site hasn't change, so it's gonna be like that. Brad says on 13/Mar/10
Look at the built up front of his boot, the wedge must be massive, a big custom job by the italian cobbler. Those things rival anything Sly has put on. Adman says on 12/Mar/10
In "Edge of Darkness" he looked really really short. Mr T Cakes says on 12/Mar/10
There seems to be a lot of people on here who believe St. Mel is 5ft8, or slightly over. How does a height get downgraded on this site, Rob? And have you ever changed the height listings of other personalities on here? realist says on 12/Mar/10
Click Here these are like a cross between boots and shoes and its actually hanging off his sock while hes swinging his foot about. ka says on 11/Mar/10
ok then, if Gibson stands as tall as Kimmel in that pic with 3-4 inch boots he's around 5'9-5'10 range, reasonable to say. burby says on 11/Mar/10
Mel's "Conspiracy Theory" booties were just massive. Julia Roberts must have been laughing behind his back. Bourne booties had a nasty habit of appearing with the Stallone height expert. Brad says on 10/Mar/10
Those things with Kimmel could get 4". Mark Willmington says on 9/Mar/10
I live in Brevard County Florida and had an opportunity to meet Mel Gibson at the Dove restaurant on the beach. I'm 5ft 8 and standing next to mel in bare feet we were about the exact height. He may have been slightly taller like about 5ft 8 1/2 RisingForce says on 9/Mar/10
Mel's boots on Leno didn't look odd to me, his boots on Jimmy Kimmel's show definitely looked suspicious, though. Click Here ka says on 8/Mar/10
5'9 - 5'9.5 for Gibson. could be 5'10. the reason why a lot thinks he's 5'8 is he usually wears elevated footware. at least it isn't seem as ridicuolously as Stallone... Brad says on 8/Mar/10
Young departed was 5' 6" tops 8 hours out from The Bronx so you are correct, he was barely taller in "NYC sandals" which are celeb monster customs for the celebs who need that extra duece on their regulars. Imagine looking up to Gibby....I'd cry me a river, apologies to Julie London. Mel's Leno footwear made that italian shoemaker smile, Emile is at a height where Spice Girl monsters might help, contact Victoria. kevin says on 7/Mar/10
just saw edge of darkness and noticed that he really looked short in that one. never noticed his height or lack of before. maybe just tall costars but it was funny that almost everybody dwarfed him. nowadays he looks about 175-176cm. Shawn says on 7/Mar/10
And on top of that Brad, he was barely taller than a young G in the photo. burby says on 7/Mar/10
Emile Hirsch will be in Hamlet, just like Gibson. Emile will ask Mel for footwear tips. Then again, judging by what Mel wore on Leno, it was probably the other way around. Mr T Cakes says on 6/Mar/10
I respect the opinions of all the people posting here, but personally I think that Gibson being 5ft9.5 with dress shoes "without" lifts is feasible: then even if Mel had two-inch insoles in his shoes he could pull off being just under six-foot (my humble theory, Anonymous). To say he is 5ft10 barefoot is stretching it a bit, in my opinion, basically because it could never be speculated a real 5ft10 man could ever be 5ft4, as the header of this page says (their words not mine, folks). Of course Shawn brought up a good point about 5ft6.5 people posing as 5ft8: most of the people we compare Mel's height against are other celebrities, who are mostly liars when it comes to their height. Indeed, most people will lie about their height if they can pull it off. Especially actresses, who all seem to be 5ft8 these days. Stick the likes of Mel against an actress pretnding to be 5ft8 when in reality she's 5ft5.5 and then the 5ft10-barefoot rumours start. Shawn says on 6/Mar/10
ACG, you must work in Hollywood. You're a chronic two-inch inflater, just like all these celebs. Just like the G. Brad says on 6/Mar/10
Correct Shawn, he was outed even after a day long sleep in a Volvo pulling up an under 5 feet 7 number. Imagine hours on the streets then being photographed with Gibson.A five foot eight Gibson in custom "I just got off the plane and I'm gonna be hit by the NY paps footwear" easily looks tall with a listed 5 foot 8 G who in reality was probably struggling to hit 5 feet 6 and a half. ACG says on 6/Mar/10
Brad: none of the men you mentioned are under five TEN, let alone five nine. Shawn says on 5/Mar/10
Yes T Cakes. With standard dress shoes(not lifts) and good posture, Rob himself could probably pull off a 5'10" illusion quite nicely. Especially next to 5'6.5" guys who claim to be 5'8".
All the names mentioned in my previous post barely scrape 5'9", let alone 5'10." Deal with it. It's been almost a year since he was outed, and there are still people here brainwashed by Glenn's celebrity height upgrade facade. Sad. Brad says on 5/Mar/10
He's got big wedge in his boots. Anonymous says on 5/Mar/10

5'10" is average, stocky 5'10" guys will easily look short next to legit 6"+ guys.
no they won't. Mr T Cakes says on 4/Mar/10
It's a safe height though, isn't it? And a five-foot eight man with even a normal pair of boots on may at least be able to pull off the illusion of being 5ft10. That's why a lot of actors just under average height always go for 5ft10. Brad says on 4/Mar/10
Damon,Gibson,Depp,Sly....all the under 5' 9"ers look average to short, they wouldn't at 5 feet ten. RisingForce says on 4/Mar/10
5'10" is average, stocky 5'10" guys will easily look short next to legit 6"+ guys. Shawn says on 3/Mar/10
Peter Facinelli (who's photographed with Rob on here) is a legit 5'10" man, and he looks tall in everything he does. Gibson, Depp, Stallone, Damon, and all these other pseudo 5'10ers do not. Mr T Cakes says on 3/Mar/10
I agree, Shaun. The thing is we wouldn't be debating about Gibson's height here, or Stallone's or Kurt Russell's, any of those actors, if they were kosher five-foot ten, because they would never really look short. Unless they were in Harlem Globe Trotters: the Movie! I guess it's safe to say these actors who say they're 5ft10 are really hovering, in reality, around the 5ft8 mark. Shaun says on 2/Mar/10
A LEGIT 5'10" guy in Hollywood will rarely ever look "short". Shaun says on 2/Mar/10
Downey Junior is around 5'7.5", Rising is correct. But it baffles me as to how Gibson was two inches taller. I do not see Gibson near 5'10". He's consistently looked too short. A 5'10" guy in Hollywood will rarely ever look "short". Look at legit peak 5'10" ers like Richard Gere for instance. Gere mostly came across as an average-tallish man on film. Gibson never did and often gave a short impression. ACG says on 1/Mar/10
If Mel(in his assisted footware) stood next to Lee Marvin when he was alive, I'd be willing to bet that there'd be a two INCH difference.....max.

Not much below average but a 5'7-5'8 with suspiciously large shoes nonetheless.
I'm 5'8 and bear a marked resemblance to Mel.If I wear boots I can reach the 5'10 range easily.I'm a very similar build to him as well. ACG says on 25/Feb/10

too much evidence of downey looking under 5'7" to rule it as absurd. He's glenn's height or 5'6.5". Brad says on 22/Feb/10

This 5'6.5" stuff for Robert Downey Jr. is absurd. Downey is about 5'7.5". Gibson is 2 inches taller, you do the math.

He took off his shoes in front of millions, he's paranoid.
And if he refused to take off his shoes? Seriously. PatB says on 14/Feb/10
The problem Mel Gibson has is that he plays parts that call for being big and/or tall. He's somewhere reasonably close to average height (5'10") but he casts himself in parts that require size. The most obvious case is William Wallace who was nearly a foot taller. But also in Payback he is too short.
There is a scene in both the original version and the theatrical version where he is rescued by the two bad cops from the Chinese thugs who were about to raise his vocal range.
Those two cops are played by Bill Duke and Jack Conley - both of whom are around 6'4". Mel is photographed standing between them. He looks like a child.
Real life street cops are often 6'4". I'm 6'4". This isn't some freakish size seen only in pro wrestlers or basketball players. It's the 99th percentile of course so it's a little uncommon - but not real uncommon. Everyone see some guy this size everyday while walking downtown in any American city.
The character of Porter in Payback was played earlier in Point Blank by Lee Marvin. Marvin was 6'2". In Point Blank and especially in the Director's cut of Payback, the character of Porter is a very violent and dangerous guy. He hits first (or shoots first) and asks questions later. He is supposed to be menacing. Gibson is probably a better actor than Oscar winning Marvin, but he's half a foot smaller. Marvin as we all now know can be very funny but he got his start being scary. He can play scary without breating hard. Gibson on the other hand got his start being cute and whimsical. He has to struggle to seem tough. Sort of like James Cagney. Brad says on 14/Feb/10

same height as 5'8ish" anthony hopkins in THE BOUNTY. The first scene when Mel is introduced is the best to judge height. Also the scene in the middle of the film when both men are face to face, both look the same height. This confirms once again a solid 5'8" for mel. burby says on 12/Feb/10
Average people don't ride petting zoo horses. Dural says on 12/Feb/10
That's correct Shawn, taking his shoes off on talk shows and bringing up lifts speaks volumes. RisingForce says on 11/Feb/10
Damon, like Gibson always looks average, Brad.
Shawn, everyone in Hollywood is aware of shoe lifts. Gibson started off by joking about his height on Parkinson's show as well. And he didn't take off his boots on Letterman's show to prove he wasn't short. Go watch the Letterman clip, unlike his Parkinson appearance, the subject of height never comes up. Shawn says on 10/Feb/10
RisingForce, if Gibson really wasn't worried about his height, then he WOULDN'T be taking his shoes off on talk shows and bringing up lifts. That's an obvious insecurity on his part if he's mentioning these things. People who truly don't give a toss about height typically aren't even aware of shoe lifts.

He was trying to not fall over on Leno, those wedges create face forward. Emile is at the point in his lefe where he just puts on the Priestleys and knows he's Hoffman'd. Mel looks really worn out now. Roger's latest G site post is about Glennopoly the new game. The space names are hilarious. Mikew says on 8/Feb/10
No agenda here. I have no clue how tall/short he is; however, a quick observation, which I believe a couple of others pointed out. He DID look like a short man in Edge of Darkness on numerous occasions, not just next to his partner, though he was absolutely dwarfed by that guy. To be fair, the actor who played his partner looked like a really big and tall man, I'm guessing 6'4-6'5", though I haven't looked him up or otherwise done any research on him. Mel was noticebaly shorter than many of the actors with whom he shared scenes, which leads me to believe that he's shorter than his listed height. Again, however, I haven't really analyzed the overall body of evidence. burby says on 8/Feb/10
The stuff he had on with Leno was huge. The tag on the inside of the cowboy boot probably read: Property of Emile Hirsch. Mels face looks like leather. dmeyer says on 8/Feb/10

Munster cowboy boots. You could pull out the wedges and use them for holding doors open in castles. His face looks like Grand Canyon ravines.

5'6" or 5'9" Mel is an AMAZING actor and director. He may have "issues' but who doesn't.

Nonsense....you can't make a 5'8" guy look over a legit 5'10" onscreen no matter how many camera tricks, angles, lifts, etc. People here overestimate Hollywood movie magic when it comes to enhancing heights- it can only go so far.
When Brad insisted that they digitally altered a shot of Stallone and Carl Weathers(filmed in the '80s), it was simply laughable.
Arsinha- Your act of coming on here and calling me a "troll" because I think Mel Gibson is 5'10" is actually trollish behavior in itself.
And Rising- he is taller than Kimmel in that pic, even though Mel has lifts. I completely agree with you about the 5'10". We get "at least five-foot-ten" estimates from people who have seen him in FLAT SANDALS. That says more than enough for me. Dural says on 1/Feb/10

real 5-10 guys never get questioned on their height. Rob G says on 26/Jan/10
I agree with Anonymous on this one, Gibson was not full 2iches taller than Phoenix in SIGNS. It wa more like 1" maybe bit more. Anonymous says on 25/Jan/10
Acg: i was watching signs. You obviously werent. There was no two inch difference, just one. I have a hard time accepting joaquin phoenix as 5~8 since 5~Ten.5 russell crowe had 3 inches on him in gladiator. Crowe is a legit 5 ft. Ten man and he was Much taller than phoenix than gibson was. Rob G says on 25/Jan/10

By the way, who does everything think is taller? Gibson or Stallone? I think both are similar in height(within a half inch of eachother).
I think Sly at 5'8.5" and Gibson at 5'9" fits them well. ACG says on 25/Jan/10
What movie were you watching?? Joaquin is at least 5'8" and Gibson was comfortably taller- I saw 2 inch difference easily. Anonymous says on 24/Jan/10
This isnt rocket science. Gibson AINT 5 ft. Ten. That would mean that thered be more than two inches between him and joaquin in signs. But there wasnt. Go watch it. Not even close. ACG says on 24/Jan/10
I did watch Ransom, Brad; just a few minutes ago. What I saw was a 5'8" minimum Gary Sinise wearing huge, chunky boots and still looking shorter than a flat-heeled Gibson. Not to even mention the full-bodied shots where he towered a 5'8" Rene Russo.
Give up the 5'8" figure for Mel, Brad.....it's useless. At this point you'd actually look more respectable if you were to just admit you were wrong, rather than hold onto a claim that is blatantly untrue. James says on 24/Jan/10
In 93 Harrison Ford was probably about what? 6ft.25?
Click Here RisingForce says on 24/Jan/10
Hahaha massive customs like Sly? You're a funny guy, Brad. Gibson never really wore anything bigger than cowboy boots. He often wears normal looking dress shoes and even sandals to a premiere. Not saying he never wore lifts, but his footwear is not comparable to Sly's.
The only time they use to wear similar footwear was the early 90's when both would wear cowboy boots(probably with lifts inside).
By the way, who does everything think is taller? Gibson or Stallone? I think both are similar in height(within a half inch of eachother). burby says on 24/Jan/10
Kinnear and Keaton are both 5'9". If you stand on a box with Weaver you were never close to 5'10" to begin with. If Beaver Mel wants to put it to rest, he should be measured. Brad says on 24/Jan/10
Go watch Tequila Sunrise or Braveheart or Ransom, he's not 5' 10" cause he'd be 6 feet or more in his $2,000 footwear, he isn't. He was on box with Weaver, 5 foot 10 people are not on boxes. That's pathetic to be on a box or as Davy Jones said "Box work required a closed set". He wears massive built up customs like Sly. Leung says on 24/Jan/10
Come on Brad stop making up excuses and just accept that your 5'8" estimate for Gibson is incorrect. This 177cm Mel Gibson listing is pinpoint. Brad says on 23/Jan/10
Great photo with Damon, 2 5' 8"ers both wearing huge customs. Keaton over 5' 9" is a joke. Frank2 had him at 5' 8". What type of Munsters is he wearing with Pam? Stallone or Karloff, nice posture, like "oh, I need to do a Stallone effect". The guy has never seen 5 feet 9 in his life. .... . Get back on the box with Charlize in the next Max film, it helped with Ms. Weaver who is supposed to be your height. He gets tequila sunrised if you catch him. RisingForce says on 23/Jan/10
Gibson next to Greg Kinnear(listed here at 5'9.5") and Michael Keaton(listed at 5'9.75"). Click Here Click Here Then there's Gibson taller than 5'10" listed Matt Damon in a couple of pictures. Click Here There's a better picture of the two on wireimages.
Look at Gibson on video with guys like 5'10.5" George Clooney and 5'11" Jay Leno. Gibson at over 5'9"? I don't know it sells itself(Vince The Shamwow Guy voice). RisingForce says on 23/Jan/10
Hey Brad, look at the photo I posted below of Mel and Pamela Anderson. He's 6 feet or more there. Anonymous says on 22/Jan/10
Mel gibson can look as tall as 6.4 n a film, doesnt mean he is. Its only a film. Just ax matt damon Anonymous says on 22/Jan/10
Mel gibson had to stand in a box next to sigourney weaver. At 5 ft. Ten mel wouldnt do that. But since hes 5 ft. 8 he had no choice since hed look diminutive. Hm says on 22/Jan/10
5'9 is hardly short but ok Brad says on 21/Jan/10
In custom boots I'd be 6 feet 10. Look at him in "Ransom", he looks short even in his Priestley-LeBlanc's. ACG says on 21/Jan/10
Brad, watch the Lethal Weapon Quadrilogy- he IS six foot plus in his boots next to a 6'4" Glover.
As you said on Cruise's page, Bee-Leave-It. Brad says on 21/Jan/10
He'd love to be 6'. He knows people rip him about his height. If he were 5' 10" he'd be 6 feet or more with customs everywhere, like Damon he's the short guy in his films. Stiffelio says on 20/Jan/10
He looked extra stocky at the Golden Globes. And not at all tall! Bradi says on 20/Jan/10
Mel is 5'9'' flat. 175 cm Ralf says on 20/Jan/10
See Mel at 176cm peak height.Today maybe 1cm smaller.
Very good actor, the most of his films are really great. Leung says on 17/Jan/10

80 YEARS AGO? what the hell are you talking about?
In other words, a very long time ago. You see, sometimes people say stuff like "i haven't seen you in a coon's age" or "i haven't seen you in umpteen million years" they actually don't mean "a coon's age" or "umpteen million"
rolls eyes ACG says on 12/Jan/10
As Brad might say on other celebs' pages, Mel Gibson is "as listed".
Or quite possibly 5'10".
5'8" for Mel is an absolute joke and RisingForce has single-handedly proved this fact many times over.
I give him major props for his strong perseverance and detective work.
I'll even forget about Michael Jackson.......for a minute. lol jed says on 11/Jan/10
He's not under 5'9. Please. Some of you are just out to say everyone is short. I met Parkinson when I was 15 and 5'11, and remember being surprised because I thought he was going to be really tall and in fact he was slightly shorter than me. Gibson can't be under 5'9 as Parky is 5'10 - AT LEAST - and that in itself proves that Gibson is well over 5'8. I'd say 5'9.5, maybe 5'10 in early 90s. He's not short. burby says on 11/Jan/10
Mad Melvin looks like he's about to fall he's "effecting" up so much. "Suspicious shoes?" Try a 5'8"er in bricks, the custom variety. They are about as "normal" as a Sly "sandal" or a Matt Damon "workmans boot". Beavy Mel needs some Sly NYC hair plugs stat. RisingForce says on 11/Jan/10
A 5'9.5"-5'10" Mel Gibson towering over 5'6"-5'6.5" Pamela Anderson who is not wearing flats. Click Here
Full body shot and Gibson is around 5" taller. He's in suspicious shoes, but he looks like he'd measure 6'1" in them. One of the few times Gibson has wore anything other than normal dress shoes to a premiere since he ditched the cowboy boots in the mid 90's. Brad says on 10/Jan/10
Da bricks, correct skipper, puttum on a bun with mustard. Mistakes can be made Risah, the departed at 5' 8". Put your money on Mel at 5' 8" and Tony Romo holding the Lombardi, ya can't lose hoss. burby says on 9/Jan/10
Frank2 saw the real 5'9.5": 5'8". Sly and Beaver Melvin will never be as tall as Kurt. Brick customs or your money back...... RisingForce says on 9/Jan/10
thanks, leung. there's a reason he's listed at 5-9.5 anonymous says on 9/Jan/10
runt says on 8/Jan/10
When Sly was barefoot by a pool that was 80 years ago and that wasn't a media event with hundreds of cameras. It was before Sly decided to go for a 24/7 fraud. Liftless and barefoot photos become less and less common as time goes on. Mel's event was recent.
80 YEARS AGO? what the hell are you talking about? anonymous says on 9/Jan/10
The last 20-30 minutes of tango and cash are gold. Kurt and Sly look the same height, but thats because sly is wearing some thick looking cowboy boots, unlike kurt. Sly, just like mel aren't 5'9" guys PERIOD. Brad says on 9/Jan/10
Mel's never seen 5' 9" in his life, like Sly without "effect". Both are way short of 6 feet and they hate it. Mel's throwing off his footwear on TV because he knows people realize he has to look up at 6 footers without customs. 3" taller than Kurt, hahaha, what box did they have him on, where's the NYC Sly sandals? Leung says on 8/Jan/10
Hey RisingForce, I can tell that you are getting frustated debating Mel's height, stop wasting your time arguing with these 5'8" claims. Simply look at the top of the page and see that 5'9.5" listing, satisfaction guaranteed. anonymous says on 8/Jan/10
realist says on 8/Jan/10
mel shorter than kurt mm? pic of them both on wireimage at a premiere, and mel looks quite a bit taller
Thats because Mel is sporting the lifts, not kurt. RisingForce says on 8/Jan/10
Watch Tango and Cash, at best, Kurt is Sly's height, but most likely Sly is taller. In some scenes Sly looked 2-3 inches taller and in the barefoot scene, Sly was an inch taller. Sly looked taller in some full body shots in prison shoes, too.
At 1:01 they're walking barefoot. At 2:38 you see a full body shot with both in similar looking prison shoes and Sly easily looks taller. Look at how much taller Sly looks at 3:30. runt says on 8/Jan/10

That doesn't mean diddley squat. Sly was barefoot by a pool with a bunch of paps and peeps being recorded and not to mention kissing brigitte barefoot in his home. I guess sly isn't a height complex guy aswell. burby says on 7/Jan/10
Kurt is taller than Sugar Melvin and Sly. I wonder where Mel got that My Little Pony(tm) horse for that movie of his...... anonymous says on 7/Jan/10
I agree with Burby and Brad, Mel is 5'8" and Burt never was 5'11". End of discussion. Aleks says on 7/Jan/10
Burt was 5'10" peak and wore big shoes. That's about it. Brad says on 7/Jan/10
Kurt is 5' 9", the short Aussie 5' 8" and Burt was never 5' 11". Mel is constantly being bombed about his height like Sly, where there's smoke there's fire. RisingForce says on 7/Jan/10
Because a man who takes off his boots on national TV, brings up the subject of lifts and shows up at a premiere in sandals is not likely a man who is too worried about his height. RisingForce says on 7/Jan/10
So being slightly taller in what? 1, maybe 2 short scenes in a MOVIE WITH SHOES proves you're taller BAREFOOT? That's the dumbest thing I've ever read on this site. By far.
And Burt never looked 5-10 peak. He shrunk to 5-10 in 1993 and now he's probably 5-9.5. anonymous says on 6/Jan/10
Rising, how do you know Mel does not have a height complex? Do you know the man personaly? or are you just speaking rubbish like a fool? anonymous says on 6/Jan/10
RisingForce says on 6/Jan/10
How do you know Kurt is taller BAREFOOT? You're ridiculous. We don't know what's in Kurt's shoes and it wouldn't be the first time a 5'9" movie star wore lifts. And Burt at 5'10" peak is laughable.
No more ridiculous than you thinking Burt is 5'11" or kurt wears lifts but mel doesn't. Kurt is taller because TEQUILA SUNRISE proves Kurt is taller. Mel is 5'8" Burt was 5'10" peak. LOL. You just keeps going around in circles. burby says on 6/Jan/10
I gotta drop my estimate after watching "Tequila Sunrise" and "What Women want". He had huge bricks on in that movie. Sugar Mel is 5'8", Burt 5'10" peak...Melvins cowboy boots aren't normal........ RisingForce says on 6/Jan/10

Christ, it never ends. Mel does NOT have lifts in his sandals, he does NOT have a height complex and he is NOT under 5-9.
Atleast show some evidence of Mel wearing lifts and no, normal looking cowboy boots are not evidence that Mel wears lifts. anonymous says on 5/Jan/10
Mel wouldn't pull that off next to guys like Danny Glover or 5'9" Kurt Russell. anonymous says on 5/Jan/10
It wouldn't make sense of Kurt wearing lifts next to Mel. He's 1 inch taller. LOL anonymous says on 5/Jan/10
RisingForce says on 3/Jan/10
Because Kurt can wear lifts just like Mel can. How do we know he didn't have lifts? So I'm supposed to ignore the possibility of lifts and say Mel is 5-8ish because he was slightly shorter than Russell in 1 or 2 scenes? Hahah that makes sense. The only thing that scene does is suggest Gibson could be shorter than Russell who we think is 5'9". It's proof of anything like yiou're trying to make it.
Look at Burt's whole frame next to Durning's and then tell me he's not atleast 4 inches taller. Burt was obviously 5'11" and now he's about 5'9.5" in his 70's. Watch some of his old movies. He looked 6'1"-6'2" at times without boxes or boards.
Thats just stupid. Why would Kurt wear lifts, but not Mel, when they are both 1 inch apart. It'd make sense if Mel was 6'0", but he is 1 inch shorter. I don't think you understand how little a 1 inch difference makes, let alone a half inch. Burt can look 6'1" for all i care, doesn't mean he is. He was 5'10" peak. runt says on 5/Jan/10
The thing is, Mel is willing to let fans around his height get close to him in sandals. Sly and them would never do that. burby says on 5/Jan/10
Those sandals Mad Melvin has on look kinda thick. LA sandals? RisingForce says on 4/Jan/10
Show me where Burt looked 5-10 peak. He's a weak 5-10 at best now if not shorter, but he wasn't under 5-11 peak. Brad says on 4/Jan/10
A photo-op with Jeffrey Katzenberg is like standing with Emile Hirsch. He hasn't any decent height, he's another A list actor like Sly & Damon: looking up at 6' people without their customs. Reynolds on The Tonight Show from '74 in the famous whipped cream episode is wearing things Downey Jr. would love: massive. He got away with murder in the 70's in monsters. burby says on 3/Jan/10
5'11" for Burt is a Rising inflate, he was 5'10" peak. runt says on 3/Jan/10
Here are a couple of pics of Mel hanging out in sandals at a media day for the premier of an animated film of his. Sly, Cruise or Robert Downey wouldn't be caught DEAD doing this!!!

You can tell burt is on higher ground next to durning. anonymous says on 2/Jan/10
RisingForce says on 31/Dec/09
Burt barefoot looking way taller than 5'7.5" listed Charles Durning. Click Here He looked in the 6'1"-6'2" range in lifts. I know you all love to go by one barefoot/liftless photo when it shows the actor looking taller. Lets see if you're consistent. Burt was a minimum of 5'11" at his peak.
LOL. How is this even good evidence of burt looking 5'11"? because its barefoot??? The ground isn't even EVEN. Its a dirt ground. That pic doesn't prove a thing. anonymous says on 2/Jan/10
So according to you risingforce, 5'9" minimum for Mel, even though you said he looked shorter than 5'9" Kurt Russell in TEQUILA SUNRISE. How does that work???
Gibson can pass as high as 6'4" in a movie, doesn't mean he is that height. He's 5'8". anonymous says on 2/Jan/10
risingforce says one thing, and then says another:
RisingForce says on 28/Dec/09
No, the talk of him being 5'8" is funny because there's basically NO evidence to back it up. 5'9" minimum for GIbson...."
RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
Kurt didn't have 1.5" on Mel. He had 0.5"-1" on Gibson in the film at most. He was taller, but not by much.
Kurt Russell is 5'9" and Gibson was shorter. Rising got caught. RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
No, it just means that he looked it in one or two scenes without us knowing what either had in their shoes. In the last scene they basically look identical in height although it's not a great scene to judge. The first scene shows Kurt looking a bit taller. Gibson generally looks like a 5'9.5" guy to me who can pass for 5'11" in cowboy boots with lifts so I'm sticking with that. Brad says on 2/Jan/10
Kurt was probably in sandals (not the NYC Sly line) and Gibby in cowboy boots. Okay, maybe not. Daffy Duck: "Seems Rising got himself in a pickle". Rob G says on 2/Jan/10
RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
Kurt didn't have 1.5" on Mel. He had 0.5"-1" on Gibson in the film at most. He was taller, but not by much.
Sorry Rising, but if you say that 5'9" Russel had 0,5"-1" over Gibson, wouldn't that mean that Gibson is in 5'8"ish territory? Brad says on 2/Jan/10
Correct Ted, the Melster got Kurted in Tequila Sunrise. Great film to judge. RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
Kurt didn't have 1.5" on Mel. He had 0.5"-1" on Gibson in the film at most. He was taller, but not by much. RisingForce says on 1/Jan/10
Look at Reynolds next to Durning. 5'11" barefoot. He had 3" on 5'10" Dom Deluise in the Cannonball Run outtakes. Ted says on 1/Jan/10
Well, I watched "Tequila Sunrise" and if Kurt Russel is 5'9" then Mel must be around 5'7.5" Brad says on 31/Dec/09
Reynolds was never 5' 11". FSU playing days I believe he was listed at 5' 9". I saw 5' 10" in front of me at his ranch. Don't waste your time on the dearly departed height estimates, I get livid reading 2 year olds posts with blatant lies about his height and ridiculous estimates like Sly at 5' 10.75". 5' 8" plus $2,000 customs can loom large versus short people especially if the short person says he or she is 5' 8" and he or she is 2" shorter. Lenad says on 31/Dec/09
