I was watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels the other day and Martin is only 1 to 1.5 inches shorter, and in some scenes Martin has converse type pumps on. In many scenes you can see them full length and often caine has the heel advantage. I can't see how Caine was 6ft 2, I think he boasted his height by 1 inch. glenn says on 18/Apr/08
i saw it twice in the theatre. glenn says on 17/Apr/08
deathtrap.great movie.1981 i think. glenn says on 16/Apr/08
some say reeve was 6-5.seriously.at least that was what i read in the media circa early 80s.he did look 6-4 min. Ray says on 15/Apr/08
I think Nicole is bang on the money. Caine never looked 6'2" to me. He did a film with Christopher Reeve and he looked 3 inches shorter. I believe he was 6'1". He looked an inch taller than Cage (5'11")in Weatherman so he's probably shrunk down to 6'. nicole says on 7/Apr/08
For me Michael was never 6ft2inch tall, because he is always smaller in the films and photos then Sean Connery half inch. So for Michael 6ft 1inch and for Sean 6ft 1.5 inch peak height.But yes it`s very difficult to find the true. Both are tall. dmeyer says on 23/Mar/08
if he is less then 186 then we have a problem since he is noticably taller than cage and bale who are both 6 ft Anonymous KinG says on 23/Mar/08

I saw him in his film with Nicole Kidman and he looked clearly taller, 6-7 cms. He was at that time around 1`85 Anonymous king says on 10/Mar/08
cain beside 6ft4 director philip noyce looks a solid 4in shorter than him.. his no more than 6foot.. does look 6ft1 with shoes.. EB says on 6/Mar/08

6'1.75 possible now look at least 6'1 Anonymous says on 26/Jan/08
he looks around 6'0 flat. dmeyer says on 13/Jan/08
186 cm fits him good 188 peak Anonymous says on 12/Jan/08
looks 6'0.5 Robbie H says on 12/Jan/08
6'1 is right for him, he looks an inch taller than christian bale in batman begins who is 6ft Greg says on 2/Jan/08
I agree Valeri. Caine had two inches on Jude and was wearing shoes with a bigger heal than Caine. Thus, Jude is somehwere between 5'10" and 5'11". I would say about 5'10.5" like you said. Valeri says on 17/Nov/07
Caine looks 6'1 max nowadays. Looks 6'0.5-6'1 next to Fraser and also next to 6'2 Clive Owen.he looked 6'1 next to Owen,but Owen had slippers so caine had half an inch advantage over him.That puts him at 6'0.5 again.Im sure Caine was 6'1.5 back at peak,rounding up to 6'2 and now rounding up to 6.1.Pretty much like Brosnan is doing.6'0.5 during Bond. That makes me question Jude Law again,since caine had at elast 2 inches on him.Law might be 5'10.5 tubbs says on 29/Oct/07
Interesting picture Gonzalo. Personally to me Caine looks 6'2" next to Jmaes Stewart and Wayne, what also is interesting is the fact that Lee Marvin looks 6'3" next to Clint, and Mitchum looks 6'2". A very tall ensemble of actors in that picture. On the subject of Jackman though, if you go on Michael Caines official website, there are several pictures where he is the same as Jackman. I still believe Michael is touching the 6'2" mark. Gonzalo says on 15/Oct/07
Hi , Tubbs.
I saw the prestige the other day and Caine looked tall next to Hugh Jackamn who is a legit 1`89.
In the John Wayne page I posted this link
Click Here
You can see Caine next to John Wayne, James Stewart and other tall actors. Caine looks clearly shorter. That can help to forget any idea of Caine being 1`90. Caine was in his heyday around 1`87 tubbs says on 11/Oct/07
People are forgetting that most men in their mid 70's have a stoop, it is quite obvious with Caine. Even with the stoop he looks 6'1+, this is evident in The Prestige opposite Jackman at 6'2.5", and 6ft Bale. In a couple of shots where Caine straightens up he is virtually the same as Jackman, with no more than half an inch between them.
Also on the extras of Zulu, James Booth commented that Caine was very tall, this coming from a 6'2" guy himself, if Caine was 6'1", I doubt that Booth would say that he was very tall. Was a genuine 6'2", and I think there is a good chance he still is. Mr.Venable says on 4/Sep/07
In "The Black Windmill" Sir Michael's passport said that he was 6'2 . Being a huge fan of him and having seen a lot of his movies I can tell he always looked that height . patrick says on 2/Aug/07
Mr Caine looks only 184cm beside 188cm tall clive owen who wear a half inch slipper in movie children Of Men.. sam says on 18/Jul/07
The difference between Caine and Fraser looked less than that in the movie. More like 1.5 inches. 16 yrs and 5"10 says on 18/Jul/07
in this pic Click Here
he looks about 2.5 inches shorter than brandon fraser who is 6"3 so he must be about 6"0.5 tall dmeyer says on 10/Jun/07
dose look 186 cm in that pic he hasnt shrink mush from 188 cm he was noticably taller than cage maybe he is 6'1.5 now AAAA says on 20/May/07
Yeah, but at the picture I posted on april 15. They look almost identical tubbs says on 18/May/07
Anyone else seen Shadow Run with Leslie Grantham, Tim Healy and James Fox? Why Caine did it I don't know.... glenn says on 18/May/07
yes.ol shell toe. AAAA says on 17/May/07
Then what is up with that pic of Owen and Caine I posted below. According to Owens pic with glenn, and the two of them in that pic, Caine should look taller than he does here
[Editor Rob: Here. In both cases caine/owen had slight down tilt with glenn of their head, you can see that in the pic above. This does make difference look a bit less as obviously if a celeb was raising eyeline its gonna make it look a bit more. Caine is slightly closer than glenn, maybe Micahel has a slight lean that evens out the 2/5ths or so inch he is gaining with closeness.] Editor Rob says on 17/May/07
Caine does look a few inches closer than glenn there, maybe gaining a fraction, you in shelltoe again? glenn says on 16/May/07
thats cool.i agree.im not a blockbuster guy.i like em to a point,and do watch em.but try to avoid them.i never watched those damon borne movies.no interest.give me 70s and 80s movies anyday.i see cgi got to die hard 4 now.not a fan of cgi. glenn says on 16/May/07
he seemed like he shrunk to 6ft.i got 2.first one im not looking in,which is rare.i was trying to get someone to get my dressed to kill dvd out of my bag to get signed.had to go back the second night.thankfully he didnt care.he can be difficult i heard.free movies in the paper rob? i have zulu too.
[Editor Rob: yes, I have a ton of free dvd's from newspapers over the years, ok they aren't blockbusters, lot of old stuff, but I ain't complaining. Some of the old guff I can watch more than recent 'average' blockbusters.] glenn says on 16/May/07
jaws 4.ooof.the swarm wasnt too good either but i saw it in the theatre back in 1978 or whenever it came out.
[Editor Rob: yeah, he's been in a right few of the 'best' british films, italian job/zulu/get carter/alfie...I forget how much he's done. I saw ipcress file and fourth protocol, those were freebies from the newspaper. Actually got about 500+ free dvd's from papers/magazines in last 5 years.] Gonzalo says on 16/May/07
Great actor. His best movie is Sleuth, one of the best ever made. What`s your guess with Caine, Glenn? Around 6`1? Anthony says on 15/May/07
"lots to not forget about."
"Jaws 4" is an exception. Still need to see a lot of his older stuff, though. glenn says on 15/May/07
dirty rotten was one of his best.true. Lmeister says on 15/May/07
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is one of my favorites and of course Batman Begins... glenn says on 15/May/07
lots to not forget about.he was in at least 100 movies. glenn says on 14/May/07
one of my favorites.dressed to kill.alfie.get carter.the swarm.
[Editor Rob: and secondhand lions, don't forget that one!!! ;)] roy says on 30/Apr/07
I saw a pic of christian bale only 6ft and micheal caine and caine looks 2 inches smaller AAAA says on 15/Apr/07
Maybe he is still a full 6'2. He looks pretty much the same as Owen here
Click Here AAAA says on 8/Apr/07
He didn't really look shortrer than Clive Owen in CHildren of Men. In the beginning when clive still had shoes, and not flip flops, they looked real close in height. I am surpised caine is still this big Anonymous says on 5/Apr/07
in zulu and the ipcress file he looked a few inches shorter than nigel green. if green was the 6'4 he was listed as(and looked) this would make caine 6'2 in the 60s tubbs says on 16/Mar/07
I have to agree with P Smith....Caine looked like 6'3" in educating Rita, so 6'2" easily for Maurice. P. Smith says on 20/Jan/07
Yeah, I think Caine was atleast 6-2 in the 80s (if not taller). I just watching "The Hand" and he literally looked gigantic. If someone asked me to guess his height in the film id of said 6-3 atleast. Gonzalo says on 4/Dec/06
It is a pity Frank2 doensnīt post anymore. He made interesting comments. But he was a little bit haughty; he had a hard time accepting other people`s point of view. Anyway, take care, Frank2, I will miss your contribution to the site.
Refering to Caine, I stick to 1`87 in his youth and 1`85 nowadays Mikex. says on 17/Nov/06
I was never to sure about Frank2 myself, tubbs. While his statements sometimes seemed a bit far fetched he also appeared to have a lot of insider knowledge about the stars. Was he for real, I don't know. As for Caine he was certainly a tall man. At least 6'1'' and maybe 6'2'' as he himself states. I've seen a photo of him in a John Wayne book where there a number of stars such as Clint Eastwood, Rock Hudson, Lee Marvin and of course Wayne himself. Caine looks a fair bit shorter than Wayne, Eastwood and Hudson all of whom were 6'4'' and Hudson maybe even taller. He also appears shorter than 6'2'' Lee Marvin in the photo although it is hard to be sure as they are not standing next to each other. Maybe Frank2 was right about Caine being 6'1'' afterall. inbigins says on 14/Nov/06
I worked with Michael Caine on the Actors and he is 6ft 1in he was just turning 69 and looked it aswell but you can see he was taller in his youth. don says on 9/Sep/06
he is still about 2 inches taller then cage in the weather man, maybe cage is 5'11? Picture says on 27/Apr/06
Brett, is right, in the early 90s Caine did still look a legitimate 6 ft 2.
The last 5 years it seems that Caine has losed some height. Frank2 says on 26/Apr/06
Back when I worked on Get Carter (the original, not the crappy remake) I asked the fellow who was working on it with me who had been on the set how tall Caine was and he said 6'1". Then I read it in several publications. In fact I remember Caine himself saying in some interview that when he worked with Anthony Quinn who he had thought of as being at least 6'3" he was quite surprised to discover that Quinn was slightly shorter than him and Caine stated he was about 6'1". Then within the last few years I've started seeing Caine listed as being 6'2". Maybe in twenty more years he'll be listed at 6'4" and then a new batch of goofballs with more time on their hands than they should have like all of us will be arguing that he was just 6'2".
I can tell you that when he did Dirty Rotten Scoundrels he was only an inch to an inch and a half taller than 5'11" Steve Martin who I've met and can confirm his height without reservation. We were eye-to-eye the same height. Brett says on 25/Apr/06
In that movie with him and Steven Segal, He really doesnt seem more then 1.5 - 2inches max shorter then Segal, although he has visibly large heels on throughout the whole movie. Im sure he was 6'2" back in the day Gonzalo says on 30/Mar/06
Caine always looks tall in his movies. I guess he was around 1`87 when he was young and I think he hasn`t shrunk much. He must be 1`85 nowadays. John says on 9/Dec/05
Connery was for sure never above 6'2. Mario Nariano says on 8/Dec/05
Wich doctor in the world is gonna measure a guy with shoes on? And it's strange that they measure the other guys without shoes, but Connery with shoes, especialy for such important contest. And it's funny that Connery looks 2 inches taller than a guy who is at least 6 ft.
hmmmm, are you serious?
Tubbs says on 8/Dec/05
Another event that you were at was it? Mario Nariano says on 7/Dec/05
Connery was measured at 6 ft 2.5, so face it, you canīt negate this.
Connery looks old in the most recent pics but he is still over 6 ft 1, probably 6 ft 1.5
And I agree with Brett that Caine nowedays for sure not under the 6 ft 1 mark. Brett says on 7/Dec/05
He cant be less then 6'1", he is taller then Chris Bale by over an inch, its damn obvious that hes 6'1" plus Mario Nariano says on 5/Dec/05
The camera is at Caine's favor in some scenes and also in some scenes it's at Connerys favor. Still there are some scenes wich are good, and wich Connery is slighty taller than Caine and both are standing next to each other.
a 6 ft height for Connery is funny.. Tubbs says on 2/Dec/05
Frank, i watched The Man Who Would be King recently, and Connery is between 1/2 to 1 inch taller than Caine. The only scenes where Caine appears taller is where Connery is wearing very thin soled sandals, and Michael is in army boots. Theres no denying Michael was 6'2" peak height, it just leads me to beleive that Sean was the 6'2.5 possibly 6'3" that he's been listed as over the years. Mario Nariano says on 29/Sep/05
I think that Caine rounded himself up when he was young. I watched last night The Man who would be a king and he looks 2/3 cm shorter than Sean Connery who was at that time 189 cm! So I say 187 cm was probably is peak height. mcfan says on 22/Sep/05
Caine doesn't look 6'2 anymore, but he's still tall at 6'1. fukymonk says on 27/Jun/05
IN Batman Man Begins, he was definately taller than Christian Bale by 1 or two inches. Bale is listed here as 6foot. JJ says on 8/Jun/05
Yes, at his peak Caine was 6'2" - an inch shorter than his good buddy Sean Connery as you can see in their great film "The Man Who Would Be King". Interestingly though, Michael only seems to have lost an inch in his old age compared to Sean who's lost two. So they're both now the same height at 6'1". Lmeister says on 3/May/05
...if Ewan would really be 5'10'' or 5'11'' Michael wouldn't have said him in the list of short guys...It really doesn't make any sence that he'd be more than 5'9'' same goes for Colin Farrell... CelebHeights Editor says on 3/May/05
This is an old quote from the WENN by Michael Caine: "I think Ewan McGregor, Stephen Dorff, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe and Tobey Maguire are wonderful actors. There are many other fine actors in Hollywood. But... I've never seen a tall one. It seems to me that there's a generation of very talented small people... maybe they are more ambitious because they are more angry because they are short" Anonymous says on 26/Apr/05
Dunno
In most pics of the 70 and also in the movie The man who would be a king, he looked like an inch smaller than Connery, but maybe was Connery 6'3 as some poeple say. |
