Michael Clarke Duncan Height
Michael Clarke Duncan height: 6 ft 4.25 in (194 cm)

American actor best known for roles in movies like The Green Mile, Armageddon, Planet of the Apes. In his own words, "I'm really not that big. I'm only an inch taller than Danny Glover.". He said in a CNN chat that ">I'm 6'5", 315 pounds".
In 2011, in a Rotten Tomatoes interview he mentioned that "When they see me -- I'm like 6'4, 6'5 -- they go, "Wow, I thought you were taller." I'm like, "No, I'm not. I'm not taller, I'm not bigger." And I weigh 280 now! Some people saw that John Coffey, when I filmed that movie, I weighed 360. But it's a big difference from 360 to 280"

l believe that Michael is 6ft 5inches tall as claimed, why do all of you find that so difficult to accept, l have two uncles who are 6' 4" and two sones who stand at 6'2", there is a mature man who lives in my suburb who towers at 7' and he is as broad as he is tall and not an inch of fat on him and he has never been on steroids either. there are a few other men in the area who have to stoop to walk into a room and the door in too low for them and a young police woman who stands at 6'9" and she is the shortest of her siblings and shorter than her father. SO GIVE MICHAEL A BREAK

"My husband is 6'6.50", 475 lbs MUSCULAR, 52 yr old biker...bottom line, they are Wizard of Oz midgets compared to my husband..."

Who is "they"? What kind of information does this give us? How huge your biker-husband is?
Seems more like MptBRAGGY...

MCD is 6'3, and that's really tall anyways.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 22/Jan/12
Omg, Lan Jiao you've gone crazy. 6'2 is out of the question for him. He looks surely taller than 6'2 flat. But even 6'4.25 sounds impossible to me, 6'3 range is a safe bet (min 6'3- max 6'3.75)
steven says on 16/Jan/12
he look like a 6'2 guy. maybe 6'2.5 look 1.5" shorter than 6'4 david hasselhoff
pat says on 3/Jan/12
All are big,period.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 30/Dec/11
Ok, then he's gotta be a very bad posture since he always looks in the 6'3 range, he's about the same of Geoff Stults, he's like 2-3 cms shorter than David Hasselhoff and i could go on but if you think he's this tall, let it alone :) just like you do with Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Clive Owen and all the upgraded company! Let's say he's 6'4.25 as much as Glenn is 5'8.5
ANDREA[ITA] says on 29/Dec/11
ROb, you actually think he's closer to 6'5 than 6'3? (6'4.25 means that)
[Editor Rob: I think if he stands tall for a measurement he's in the 6ft 4-4.25 range.]
ANDREA[ITA] says on 18/Dec/11
Rob, you still think he's a legit 194? Would you be wondered if he measured under that mark? He really doesnt look over 190-191 everywhere! 6'5 is hilarious for him, i dont think he neither reaches that in shoes
[Editor Rob: around 6ft 4 I think is nearer than just 6ft 3]
Carmen says on 2/Dec/11
MCD is a large man. Considering MOST of leading Hollywood men are short and wear some sort of lifts the big men stand out and seem huge. That's why big men like John Wayne and Charleton Heston always seemed bigger than life on the big screen.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 22/Nov/11
ahahah where the hell he can be 6'4.25? That's a very big height... A legit one, i mean! He for sure looks huge in frame and legit very tall guy but he's no more than 191! At least an inch shorter than his listed height! What i wonder is: why a already big guy like him should claim 2 inches taller?
LAN Jiao says on 16/Nov/11
He is 6'5. John Terry n Will Ferrell 6'3. Geoff Stults 6'4.5 haa..
Tman says on 14/Nov/11
Rob this guy is not over 1,91m Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in says on 12/Nov/11
Looks around 3cm shorter than 193cm Hasselhoff:

The angle is not the best but you can clearly see the difference.
6'3 or 190-191cm fits him well.
Silent d says on 8/Nov/11
He is huge. Very scary man but good actor. He towers over charlie sheen and jon cryer. He was tall next to 6 foot 6 ryan stiles. I read somewhere that he is only 6 foot 1 which is outrageous. I always thought he was 6 foot 3 but 194cm is not impossible. 6 foot 3.
LAN Jiao says on 6/Nov/11
someone pointed MCD is really 6'4. im tire of the fight. let it be.. i"ll say he is 6'5 as he claim. respect to MCD add on his heavier than 315lbs. his 325.
LAN Jiao says on 2/Nov/11
no andrea,
much happen MCD is 190cm and not over. Geoff Stults atually claim 6'2 , rob generous enough gave the 0.5" to Geoff. MCD atually look merely same height as Geoff Stults , but disadvantage bald head and a slight bit posture makes him at best 0.5" top Geoff Stults. either way to say MCD is 6'2.5 Geoff is 6'2 or MCD is 6'2.75 and Geoff Stults is 6'2.25 since Geoff Stults did't claim higher than 6'2(188) instate of 6'2.25(188.5). funny thing is on ben affleck page someone insist affleck is 6'2 while he was nearly 2" shorter than MCD in 1997 armageddon in and out in film premiere, instate of compare legit6'2 Geoff Stults is only 0.5" max shorter than MCD. fact was MCD is dead between 189-190cm added him compare d wade whose between 191-192cm, Geoff Stults 188(fraction over possible), ben affleck 185-186cm dead it but fans or ex-lovers on his page insisted him high as 6'3.lol..
ANDREA[ITA] says on 1/Nov/11
Rob what about 6'3 or 6'3.25 for him? He really doesnt look over 190-191 with a lot of legit tall guys! He's max 1-2 cms taller than legit 6'2.5 Geoff Stults! Downgrade by an inch! He looks very tall and very broad but 190-191 is his real height! The listed height is with shoes on!
daminator47 says on 29/Oct/11
legit 6'3 no less no more.
PatB says on 25/Oct/11
The odd thing about a truly big guy like MCD is that he actually benefits from lifts more than tiny guys like Al Pacino. Al often looks funny in lifts but large men with big upper bodies can appear better proportioned if they're stretched out a bit. The same is true for Chris Hemsworth (Thor). They can look blocky barefoot.
LAN Jiao says on 19/Oct/11
Geoff Stults is 6'2only by his word. MCD is well half inch standing straight taller. So MCD 189.5cm still not 6'3(190.5).
Physics Enemy says on 19/Oct/11
Viper, if you draw a line from the top of MCD's head, you'll see he's a hair (0.25 inch) taller than Stultz. You're fooled by Stultz's hair. MCD's feet are also a little more spread apart, so another 0.25" inch for that. That puts him at 6' 3" next to Stultz.
LAN Jiao says on 17/Oct/11
"I’m really not that big. I’m only an inch taller than Danny Glover.".


MCD is completely biggish like thomas tiny lister but MCD shorter.. MCD 300pounds and 6-3 (190cm) can be lowest 6^2.5 (189cm) possible look this mark next to solid 191cm dwayne wade(192 bare by NBA measure). MCD should had blame why Geoff Stults claim himself 6^2 going honest why not claim 6'4.75 so he could be fool people he is 6'5 and weir to MCD himself why 6'2 Geoff apear tallish than 6'3.5 brush up hair ben affleck by 3cm next to him why? also why MCD saw 6'1 claim bruce willis shorter 4inch by him but only look 5'10 next to 5'9 honest claim justin long? MCD 6'5 claim works out a headache for himself past 10years. LOL.
Viper says on 11/Oct/11
Agreed hes 6-3 at most.

Actually he looks 6-2 range with Stultz
ANDREA[ITA] says on 7/Oct/11
he's min 189 max 192!
LAN Jiao says on 4/Oct/11
Geoff Stults is only 6'2.5 while MCD look only a cm taller while closer to camera. Maybe he did't stand well his foot. But much happenly to explain why 6'3.5 d wayne looks taller with MCD picture someone post. Give or take MCD is 6'3 flat.
Rocky says on 16/Sep/11
Danny Glover, or Danny Devito? Haha.
5\'11\" says on 12/Aug/11
Do you guys feel better thinking that he is not 6'5"? He is ****ing massive and would crap out 98% of you. Deal with it!

Truthman says on 30/Jul/11
Around 6'3 at night.
Sonny Black says on 2/Jul/11
Probably more like 6'4 in the morning & around 20lbs lighter than what he claims.
Boogee says on 28/Jun/11
Looked really big in The Legend of Chun-li but although he claimed his mark as 6'5" he is nothing more than 6'4.5" so I guess that Duncan is another actor who claimed his morning height.
Cranberries says on 16/Jun/11
@Vegas: I was referring more to the shots where he didn't seem to be standing on a box :P.
Danimal says on 16/Jun/11
samson says on 3/Mar/11
look at the pics of dustin hoffman and micheal clark duncan staying next to each other if dustin hoffman is only 5'4 tall, micheal duncan must be 6'2 or 6'3 max. tall or dustin hoffman is wearing 4'' height increase shoes ? check out ....micheal duncan is not old is only 54 yrs old, not 70. would not have lose any height yet- people. and the steroids etc, stuff he has taken too get big and his muscles or still taking if so , most of the time will have side effects when getter older....just look at all the wrestlers, sports people etc...anyways as a actor is good actor....

Men do lose height by 54 years old. We start to gradually lose height after 30.
Vegas says on 15/Jun/11
Cranberries says on 15/Jun/11
Looked David Morse's height in The Green Mile
________________

no he did not, in the movie the character he plays is over 7ft and looks it in the movie Click Here they achieved this by having duncan stand on a 1ft platform in the long shots, you can even see the platform in the cell as he stands up just before his execution scene
Cranberries says on 15/Jun/11
6'4" max. He's big and bloated, but not all that tall. Looked David Morse's height in The Green Mile, but obviously there were a lot of angles going on there.

Looks about Jose Conseco's height. Conseco is listed as 6'3" and 6'3.5"; I'm guessing he's somewhere in between, putting Duncan at 6'3.5". He may have been 6'4" at peak, but he really needs a downgrade IMO.

(Lots of other good pics in that slideshow too; check them out. He looks 5 inches max taller than Billy Bob Thornton too).
Danimal says on 13/Jun/11
6'3"-6'3.5"
runt says on 12/Jun/11

PatB says on 12/Jun/11
I'm almost excatly the same height and weight as Duncan. I used to be a bit heavier than him but now I'm about five pounds lighter. I think of myself as large but not extremely so. Yet Duncan has made a career playing giants on screen.

I think part of the problem is that he plays roles so often in Bruce Willis movies. Willis is a small man. If you met him on the street you would not be impressed with him physically. He was a light comedian on TV and then he won the lead in "Die Hard". Suddenly he became an action hero - a larger than life character. But in fact Willis is only big on the big screen. He's a very fine actor but he is a very improbable man of action - too frail and small.

So in a movie like "The Whole Nine Yards" we adjust our scale of reference to make Willis seem like football player of street cop - roles that he plays. That makes Michael Clark Duncan - who could in fact be a football player or street cop in real life - into something like Godzilla.

Walk downtown anywhre in America and you will see plenty of guys Duncan's size. But in the movies where almost every male lead is tiny and has to wear lifts, he looks like a hulking monster.
GaryTaylorFletcher says on 10/Jun/11
He looked at least 2-3 inches shorter than Herb in Two and a half men, and he is 6´5" so, Michael Clarke Duncan can not possibly be this tall? 6´2" in my opinion.
noname says on 9/Jun/11
MCD look the same height with seagal maybe taller
Truthman says on 30/May/11
Agree with Larc. I can't believe people still believe in this 6'5 sh*t. He is clearly shorter than David Hasselhoff and Seagal
T says on 22/May/11
Truthman you say my photo has Michael much closer to the camera than you post pics where the cameraman is right next to Seagal? Way to go against your own logic.

At least my pic is far enough that we can actually see below their waste and know it's a pretty good angle. Your pics we can't even see if they're properly standing or not.
Truthman says on 17/May/11
T says on 14/May/11
he's bigger than Steven Seagal

No, it's really bad photo, Michael much closer to camera, in fact he is an inch shorter than old Seagal

Viper says on 13/May/11
LOL, hes 6-3. You would think 6-3 is 6-5 in person though.
Boogee says on 12/May/11
Well, anything below 6'5" is ridiculous because I saw the film Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li and there he already looked almost gigantic.
Paula Jane says on 30/Mar/11
You achieve muscles with steroids, not height, as that's in the genes. That's not steroids, as they're killers. Men like this don't achieve such buff-ness without spending alot of time in the gym. Just check out his age people. That's official sexy buff-ness.
anon says on 27/Mar/11
Samson, what are you talking about? Who says he's taking steroids, most people could achieve such size with a suitable diet. Stop talking nonsense.
James says on 25/Mar/11
Will Ferrell is about 190cm i think and micahel does look a weak 6'4 but he ain't standing great
Candyman says on 15/Mar/11
6'4"-6'3.75" is what he appears but it is hard to tell because he leans when around other tall people.
Truthman says on 7/Mar/11
And with Will Ferrel

Truthman says on 7/Mar/11
About as tall as Brandon Routh

Truthman says on 7/Mar/11
Height: 6'3
samson says on 3/Mar/11
look at the pics of dustin hoffman and micheal clark duncan staying next to each other if dustin hoffman is only 5'4 tall, micheal duncan must be 6'2 or 6'3 max. tall or dustin hoffman is wearing 4'' height increase shoes ? check out ....micheal duncan is not old is only 54 yrs old, not 70. would not have lose any height yet- people. and the steroids etc, stuff he has taken too get big and his muscles or still taking if so , most of the time will have side effects when getter older....just look at all the wrestlers, sports people etc...anyways as a actor is good actor....
James says on 20/Feb/11
I don't think he's over 193cm
Mathew says on 25/Jan/11
MCD looked shorter than D-Wade by more than he really is, they're pretty close in height. MCD is 192 cm +/-.
Clay says on 17/Jan/11
Rock is 6'3'' max Hugh.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 5/Jan/11
Actually The Rock looked an inch shorter than MCD so 6"4.25(194cm) is possible
arnie says on 3/Jan/11
he does slouches a lot, so it's possible he was 6'4
Clay says on 26/Dec/10
192-193 CM?
guyfrommars says on 13/Dec/10
They had to use clever camera angles to make him look taller than 6'4" David Morse and 6'6" James Cromwell in The Green Mile.
James says on 20/Nov/10
Hmmm with Hounsou he looks close to 6'5.
d wade says on 18/Nov/10
why is this guy listed 194 cm that doesnt make sense 216cm shaq o neal has a full head on him and 193cm dwayne wade was taller than michael clarke duncan.
dmeyer says on 10/Nov/10
6 ft 4.5 is posible rob

[Editor Rob: it's not improbable]
Viper says on 9/Nov/10
LOL, more like Rock at 6'2 and Duncan at 6'3
michelle says on 7/Nov/10
