freddy mercury is 175 cm which is 5.9 as listed on queen official website and i have seen a document written by feddy where he states he is 5.9 michael was 1 inch taller i have a photo of them together i say 5,10 he was also listed as 5.10 in the papers when he past away

mitak says on 12/Mar/10
Actually I think he was 5'10 in his prime (watch "Billie Jean 1984"),but during his Bad Tour he was like 5'8 !?!?! 5'11 is too much for him,but 5'9 it's accurate !

i think if Alan is 5"10 then michale should be 5"8

Read MJ's autopsy report. It says he was 69 inches so that means he was exactly 5.75 feet. Click Here (takes a while to load).

RisingForce:

There's a reason Arsenio Hall looks closer to Eddie Murphy's height than you would think. That is because Arsenio Hall isn't 5'11 and never was 5'11. He was only 5'10. I'm shocked he's listed here as 5'11. I'd seen his lame show enough to know this is wrong. Jackson is 2 inches shorter than Hall in the video, so he was 5'8. Murphy looks an inch shorter than Hall, so he was 5'9. Arsenio was no way 5'11.

Something's not right here. Murphy looks damn near Arsenio Hall's height, definitely not 2" shorter there and Jackson isn't 2" shorter there either. Either Murphy has elevator shoes and Jackson has lifts in his boots, Hall is shorter than 5'11" or Jackson is taller than 5'8". Hall has 1" on Michael and is he even taller than Murphy there?

Bill says on 26/Feb/10
I met him back in '96, I'm 5'10 and he was like half an inch shorter than me so 5'9.5" is my bet.

Asera says on 25/Feb/10
I personally think he's either 171cm or 172cm exactly. Maybe 172 in the morning and 171 later in the day. It would seem to match the best...Doesn't he look about 4 cm taller than Lucas?

Asera says on 25/Feb/10
At his very tallest he must be around 5'8 (172 cm) but definitely NOT any taller! They used to have such absolutely ridiculous claims about his height. Probably because people assumed he MUST be tall because he's so famous(?) Well, now we know better. Thanks to the internet, much easier to compare heights/pictures. And the fact that people who have looked into this say he's obviously in the 5'7-5'8 range.It's just the truth.

Asera says on 25/Feb/10
The "autopsies" are ALL wrong, wrong, wrong....His REAL height is probably just a bit over 5'7....the pictures with George Lucas ALONE prove that he can't possibly be any taller than that! I don't care what any so called "official" documents say about this. It's just a plain FACT that MJ, even in his 20's, was clearly a man just slightly over 5'7 in height and NO MORE. Seriosuly, look at pictures of him wearing FLAT shoes next to other famous people who's height is well know(like George Lucas who is 5'6)and you'll see for yourself, IF you care about the truth. Famous peole LIE about their height all the time, if they're as huge as Michael you can be SURE there will be MAJOR exagerration to any clebrities heights in public.Now I don't think 5'9 is a such huge exagerration compared to 5'7 or so, but it's just very obvious to anyone actually paying attention that he's really NOT that tall in reality. Except wearing shoes with heels. You can't trust celebrities or the media in these things. The only way to know for sure is to look and compare pictures/videos which prove his real height.

The weight is probably wrong too...He looked much skinnier than that to me.He was VERY thin during Thriller too, but back then he was 23-26 years old. It wasn't healthy back then and it sure isn't healthy when you're 50 and planning on performing seriously after a long break!

@ Ax
Michael Jackson wasn't a tall man. Even if 5'10" was he's peak height in the 80's, that's still not tall. 5'10" is the average height of a man.

AX says on 19/Feb/10
his driver's licence says he was 5.11

Brittany says on 19/Feb/10
Eddie Murphy is pretty notorious for wearing lifts. Thought more people were aware of that. Also, ACG-he probably was at one point close to 5'11. He did have some severe back injuries and arthritis in the spine though so that probably compressed his spine a bit and caused him to lose some height. If anyone's curious...Raymone Bain Who was Michael's Publicist or something or other commented that Michael was tall "Like, 6 foot in shoes" and how that often surprised people. People always make Michael out to be this feminine, delicate, breakable man but when he wasn't working like a maniac, stressed over and wasting away because of some horrific things happening in his life and was eating normally and happy and laying low-he was about 155-160 pounds and actually had more of a medium frame-he had broad-ish shoulders. He wasn't "Prince" like at all,lol.(No offense to Prince) Check out a few pics from the beginning of the History tour, he was in fantastic shape. (He'd been working with Lou Ferringno at that point as well)

Brittany says on 19/Feb/10
People also need to quit calling him "Jacko". He absolutely despised being called that and said so many times publicly. A little respect for the deceased would be nice. Now-He was 5'10 during the Bad era, in his prime. He had arthritis in his lower spine. Which would account for the height loss. And YES, actually, Michael DID have dancer taller than him, he didn't really care. But it looks more uniform if everyone is similar in height. One dancer was only 5'5 but Mike thought he was great and hired him. I knew him personally through my DJ father and He was actually a smidge(I do mean a smidge-hardly at all) taller than me in socks and I'm an exact 69 inches. This was as recent as one year ago. The guy never lied about his height. He didn't give two flying figs about height. He actually LIKED tall women. Brooke Shields wore heels going out with the guy and she's already about 6 foot. He didn't give a crap and didn't lie about his height.

AX says on 18/Feb/10
There are web sites you can find celebreties' height. Everywere it says MJ was 5.10. I just read his 80s interview where he also mentioned he was 5.10. Why would he lie about his height? He did not look concearned about his height. Why do you doubt this fact? Does he look shorter to you guys? He looks definitely above average, I would say he was tall man.

RisingForce says on 18/Feb/10
I admit that the video James posted is solid evidence of Jackson in the 5'9"-5'10" range, but I have to see some more evidence because as of now, that's an anomaly. For all we know Jackson could have a footwear advantage or Bashir could be below 5'6".

How do you know Murphy's shoes were flat? And you can't even see their feet in the Sinatra photo.

look at the picture. have you even bothered seeing the eddie murphy-jax pic? its clearly obvious that jax' heels are bigger than murphys.

Cliff says on 16/Feb/10
AX -

You speak of "all sources", but apparently your "source" doesn't consist of his own driver's license and autopsy reports (plural), both more scientific than a fan/celebrity magazine or a sight estimation. His first autopsy was done June 26 - just one day after his death. Even if it had been done a month or two later, he still would've been 5'9". It's a little foolish to ask "why I question it" when his driver's license and autopsy reports clearly list him as 5'9."

Geez, no wonder Frank2 abandoned this thread.

AX says on 16/Feb/10
All sources say MJ was 5.10. He looked like 5.10. On stage he was not shorter then other dancers and a lot of times higher. Most of the time he wore loafers. He was a major sloucher and it looks like he didn't care much of how tall of short he looked like. He had a good height, above average. Why do you question it? Autopsy report is useless because his body was measured two months after death.

ACG says on 14/Feb/10

ACG-

Yet you ignore the most essential "written report" of all...his autopsy report!? If I'm not mistaken, I believe two or three autopsies were done on this man from different parties. What are the chances of all three of them getting this wrong (not to mention his own driver's license)?????

MJ was 69 inches long according to the report.

Let's just see if Rob upgrades MJ.

James says on 14/Feb/10
I'd say as well Jackson looks quite tallish amongst the people he's talking too in my vid as well and looks close to 6ft even though he ain't.

ACG says on 14/Feb/10
For example, take MJ's nephews: the singing group 3T(Tito's 3 sons). Michael always looks taller than them, yet Taj is listed as 6 foot. Not saying Michael is over 6 feet(but ya never know), but if MJ really was only 5'9, that would mean Taj is adding at least 4-5 inches to his true height- which is absolutely ridiculous.

ACG says on 14/Feb/10
Cliff-

I haven't convinced MYSELF that MJ was 5'11". It's the countless pics of him with other celebs that have convinced me of that fact. Along with plenty of written encounters that give that height for him.

IMPOSSIBLE for jax to be 5'9" when a 5'9" comedic man was clearly taller than him in a full body shot picture.

Chen says on 11/Feb/10
When I watched "This is it" on DVD I paid special attention to his postures and footwear and his height relative to the dancers. He appeared no shorter than his dancers which are required to be in the 5'9" to 5'11" range as ACG mentioned earlier. Most of the scenes in the movie MJ wore loafers except one or two occasions, and he was with his habitual slouch all the time. But even with that slouch he still looked 5'10" to me. I'd say he's at least 5'9" barefoot.

Brad says on 11/Feb/10
Walking in military style by me towards a judge he was at least 5 feet 9 and nothing under. He was a major sloucher.

Aleks says on 11/Feb/10
5'7" Sinatra appeared taller than him on one picture, while MJ was probably taller, he was certainly not four inches taller, if it was the case, then how would it be possible?

Sinatra would have to wear 5+ inch platform shoes, and that is, assuming MJ is wearing flats.

Greg says on 10/Feb/10
5'9-5'10 he was leaning forward

DC says on 10/Feb/10
Given that the autopsy report states that MJ was 175 long, and I imagine he had been lying down for some time when they took this measurement, I am inclined to conclude that he would have been around 173cm standing, taking into the fact that we tend to shrink a bit during the day. So, in my opionion, at least at the time shortly before his passing, he was around 5'8. He may have been a bit taller when he was younger but if so, I don't think it would be by much.

C.J says on 9/Feb/10

ACG -

We get it, you've convinced YOURSELF that MJ is 5'11". The person you need to convince is Rob, and I'm willing to bet that he won't be budging on this one. I don't see how it's possible to dismiss his autopsy report, FBI records and all of the photographic evidence. I will agree that he did LOOK taller when standing alone, but when standing next to countless other people in photos, he didn't look taller than 5'9" or 5'10." I should also point out that Rob had MJ pegged at 5'9" BEFORE his death and the final autopsy report.

ACG says on 7/Feb/10
I also forgot to mention that in '03, my dad was shocked to see him listed as a mere 5'11" on his mugshot. He had always thought Michael was well over 6 feet tall.

ACG says on 7/Feb/10
On his newer drivers' license it DOES say 5'11".....and even if he himself claimed 5'10"- well, some people don't know their own height.

MJ is the polar opposite of Stallone, Pitt, etc. when it comes to height. Michael never wore height increasing footwear and never bothered to stand up straight to maximize his height potential. Barefoot and sans the mega-slump Jackson was easily 5'11".

If he actually gave two hoots about looking tall (which he didn't), nobody in their right mind would see him as only 5'9".

Cliff says on 5/Feb/10
Not only his autopsy, but his old FBI record showing his driver's license lists him as 5'9". I'm still confused why some people continue insisting he's 5'11" when MJ himself stated in his Moonwalker Bio that he was 5'10". MJ was NEVER 5'11".

The lead choreographer is correct, so is his autopsy at 5' 9".

ACG says on 5/Feb/10
Brad says on 4/Feb/10
See him in person without the slouch and you'd understand he's as listed.


That might be a little hard to do at this point.....

ACG says on 5/Feb/10
Okay, case closed: I just watched the "This Is It" Blu Ray and in one of the Behind the Scenes featurettes about the thousands of dancers who auditioned to be one of MJ's 11 backups, the lead choreographer was going through the criteria they were looking for.

She mentioned the factor of height and explained that the males needed to be around Michael's height adding, "five-nine, five-ten, five-eleven".

Okay, on initial glance, that automatically eliminates the possibility of Mike being 5'8"(Sorry, Rising).

But on further inspection, do you think the great and mighty Michael Jackson would allow anybody taller than him as a backup dancer?? In other words, I read the quote as Michael being at least 5'11" and the dancers needing to be close enough to his height so Michael doesn't tower over them.

Watch the movie if you don't believe me!

Brad says on 4/Feb/10
Wahlberg hasn't seen 5' 8" in his life. F2 downgrades his hates like Jax & Cruise. See him in person without the slouch and you'd understand he's as listed.

ACG, you do know that Lionel Richie isn't 6'0", right? He's probably not even the full 5'11" he's listed at, here. At the Grammy's, last night, he really wasn't that much taller than Jackson's pre-teen/teen son.

Aleks says on 1/Feb/10
Well, Damon and Gibson are both 5'8". Since you're still stuck to the idea that some guy is 5'8" even if he was measured under 5'7", I can see why you think they're both over 5'8".

RisingForce says on 1/Feb/10
Actually I didn't base my opinion off of Frank2's sighting, I based it mostly off of the photos posted in this thread. Before that, I thought Jackson in the vicinity of 5'10". Unfortunately the picture of Jackson and Lionel Richie didn't work.

ACG says on 1/Feb/10
Rising, may I add that one of your main arguments for a 5'8" Jackson is the fact that Frank2 saw him at 5'8".

Well, this same Frank2 saw Mel Gibson and Matt Damon at no more than 5'8". Catch my drift?

Also I highly appreciate what you have said about me and I feel the exact same way about you. I suppose this may be the one page on which we'll have to agree to disagree? I still have a lot of 5'11"+ evidence coming, though. :-)

ACG says on 31/Jan/10

Michael is indeed the king of pop and one of the great performers of his era, but like another great musical talent who he once collaborated with(Eddie Van Halen), he is only about 5'8".

The most I could buy for Michael is 5'9". I'll admit it's plausible that he's a 5'9" guy who loses height because of a slouch, but come on ACG, 5'11"? You're a good poster, one of my favorites on this site, but when does Michael look 5'11"?

I can't see him being taller than Alan Light. His back does look curved, but he also has a bit of a camera advantage and Light is leaning slightly as well. To me, Light looks noticeably taller.

One thing I will say is it looks plausible for Michael to straighten out to 5'9" with Light and he probably isn't wearing lifts or big boots because his knees are lower than Light's.

Aleks says on 29/Jan/10
How could Frank2 see him at 5'8" if he were his own height?

Come on now.

ACG says on 27/Jan/10
We don't know what Light is wearing on his feet. Jax is most likely in flat dance shoes. Looks as though the pavement favors Light as well, and Light's hair puffs way up.

If it were a "fair" picture height-wise, Mikey would edge out Alan by a bit provided Alan isn't taller than 5'10.5.

5'11" bare min. for The King of Pop.

Take him out of the slouch with Light and he's 5' 9" like he was in front of me. Yer getting fooled by his shy slouch. I'm the king of the shy slouch, the late Jax is in second. He's as listed, this one is RP nailed.

I'm open to believing Jackson was taller than 5'8" due to his tall looking frame, but those of you who believe he was taller, you have to provide a good amount of evidence where he looks it next to other celebrities. I see 5'8" or even less sometimes for Jackson in most photos.

tupac's autopsy report was 5'11". Are we supposed to believe that too? because he sure as hell wasn't that height. The fact that Jackson was shorter than 5'9" Eddie Murphy and Frank2 saw him at 5'8" confirms that Jackson's height was 5'8".

Where's the picture of him next to Morgan Freeman again? He had high heels and Freeman still had around 5 inches on him.

Chen says on 18/Dec/09
Why do people doubt the autopsy report? Isn't it supposed to be done precisely and seriously by the coroner? 5'9" and 136lbs for MJ sounds reasonable to me. And his spine condition and health problem had probably caused him to shrink from 5'10" to 5'9". In fact a male friend of mine who is under 5'3" told me the other day that he went to hospital for a physical just to find out he had lost 1.25 inch over the past few years, and the cause was osteoporosis(decreased bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue). So considering MJ's age, health, and his eating habits, a lost of height is possible.

BTW, to claim MJ is 5'7" is like to claim Barack Obama is 5'10" and it's just unbelievable.

Oh, I also forgot to add that as a woman at 5'9 -yes posture really does make you look shorter. I've learned to pose a certain way in photos to look 5'7,LOL
Michael didn't have the best posture when he was taking photographs with people. It can be a nervous habit to or stand on one leg/bend you knee type deal. I know I do it.

Brittany says on 16/Dec/09
Michael Jackson, according to his autopsy report (:-( hate saying that) was 5'9 and 136lbs at the time of his death. Considering he was a dancer, 50 and had arthritis in his spine, he most definitely lost some height. So in his prime he was probably what he always claimed to be 5'10-5'11.

Anna says on 15/Dec/09
MJ was 5.10 period. I saw This is It. He looked tall enough, taller then some of his back dancers or the same, taller then leading lady. The leading lady was 5.7 + wearing high heels. My boyfriend (5.11) saw him and they were the same height. You just envy him and want to make him shorter then he really was)))

Aleks says on 12/Dec/09
You people are making me laugh when you say someone's posture make him appear 2-3 inches shorter.

What is it, was Jackson the hunchback of Notre Dame?

To TRS :

Like I said, he is very obviously only 5'7!! And there is no way he is 5'8 even. When he's standing straight next to George Lucas he looks only VERY slightly taller than him, and Lucas is only 5'6 or maybe even shorter! That picture is probably the clearest proof of his real height because it seems that in many other pictures he's wearing heeled boots or shoes to make himself look taller. So it's difficult to make out his real, actual height because of that.

But in that Captain Eo picture with Lucas they are all standing very closely together and straight and all are wearing flat shoes. So there you go...And If people still don't get that he's only 5'7 based on that picture I really don't know what else to say! It's very obvious that there is NO way he is as tall as 175 cm or even 5'8.

But it would be good to also look at him next to James Brown for example. He's about 5'5 or shorter and Michael doesn't really look much taller. Like in this video for example :

Click Here

These are just clear, undeniable, physical facts. So MJ without his high heeled shoes is only 5'7. I think the 5'9 or taller are just his "publicity" heights, so don't believe it. Trust your OWN eyes. And surprisingly he's got away with claiming to be much taller than he really is for decades! Must be because of the skinny body type...and the shoes which no one bothers to check it seems!

TRS says on 5/Dec/09
Michael Jackson isn't even 5'10". I used to think he was 5'10" - 5'11" but now I am pretty sure he is more like 5'8".

With Mr.Light he looks 3" shorter but his head is titled so I say he is more like 1.5" - 2" shorter which is 5'8" - 5'9" range.

Kitty says on 5/Dec/09
Well obviously he can't be much taller than 5'7 because he is almost the same height as George Lucas!

check it out for yourself :

Click Here

You guys got his height all wrong here on this site, I'm just saying. He's 5'7 or only VERY slightly taller. It's pretty much completely mpossible for him to be as tall as 5'9! Unless he's wearing high heels of course...

Aleks says on 4/Dec/09
Mugshots are taken with shoes on. They don't ask you to remove your footwear.

TJ says on 4/Dec/09
If Michael was 5'11, McCartney is 6'1 - and he's not. 5'9 it is and possibly less.

gilipollas says on 4/Dec/09
Michael was 5-8. Look at him with mike tyson, eddie murphy or even james brown or usher. His skinny figure made him look taller. If he was 5-11 he would have been supertall when wearing those boots with massive heels he was lately wearing.

RisingForce says on 4/Dec/09
Well I'm pretty sure Jackson himself only claimed to be 5'10". Slouch or no slouch, he'd certainly look 5'11" in atleast a handful of photos if he were. He rarely if ever even looks 5'9" in photos.

Please show some photographic evidence that suggests Jackson was taller than I'm claiming. I'm always open to changing my mind(in fact I use to think he was taller).

ACG says on 3/Dec/09
Rising....please don't take my comments out of their context. Of course at Brad's height it's almost impossible to differentiate 5'8 from 5'9 and 5'9 from 5'10, etc.

But the fact that Brad is so adamant about Jackson being nothing under 5'9 shows Jackson was clearly above 5'9. If Jackson was indeed 5'9, Brad would probably admit that Jackson could be 5'8 because it would've been hard for him to make an accurate estimate at six foot six.

Jackson was easily 5'11 but sometimes slouched majorly to give strong 5'9 impression.

The Santa Barbara police probably told him to straighten up for his mugshot and that's when he hit his true height of 5'11(as displayed).

Also every single double/impersonator of his claims to be the exact same height as MJ if they are 5'11. And most of these lookalikes actually have met him, so they'd know.

Aleks says on 1/Dec/09
As rake thin as MJ was, 99 lbs on a 5'11" frame would've brought him to the hospital.

Aleks says on 1/Dec/09
ACG is a troll. Jackson wasn't even 5'9, so 5'11 is just ignorant.

nadina says on 28/Nov/09
i actually thought michael jackson was at least a little bit taller than 6 feet but i didnt know he waz 5'9 im 5'4 and a half so i would be up to his eyebrows at least or just about above his nose

ACG says on 27/Nov/09
Actually, Rising, you're right- Michael Jackson was 5'8".............
















..............before he grew to his full adult height of 5'11. OH SNAP!!! lol

ACG says on 27/Nov/09
Since Brad saw him at 5'9" *WITH* a slouch, he was surely at least 5'11" when he stood up straighter. A really bad hunch can easily cost you two inches.

5'8" for Jackson is like claiming 5'7" for Mel Gibson- complete and utter fabrication/fantasy.

No offense Rising, but I'm a bit surprised you believe such nonsense.

Jim says on 27/Nov/09
He was flat out 5'9. Rob got him right on the mark! He may have been 5'10 once, but his age and arthritis in his back may have contributed to his decrease in height.

RisingForce says on 26/Nov/09
mId, Jackson in boots was shorter than 5'9.5" Eddie Murphy in flat shoes. Click Here

Easy 5'11" in boots, huh Brad? That makes Eddie Murphy 6' there.

Reality is this.

Eddie Murphy- 5'9.5" barefoot, 5'10.5"/5'10.75" in shoes
Michael Jackson- 5'8" barefoot, 5'10" in boots

Brad says on 25/Nov/09
Easy 5' 11" in those buckle boots he wore in "Bad". In posture he never looked taller than in that outfit. I only wish people saw him close-up in person, trust me, he comes across even taller than his 5' 9" figure in military posture. He's king of the slouch & hunch.

Jackson Fan says on 25/Nov/09
Michael Jackson is around 5' 8 - 5'10 when he died. In 1983 his full height was 5 '11.

Brad says on 25/Nov/09
Constant slouch walk but when he walked towards the witness stand in his Captain Krunch outfit he was 5' 9" easy when I saw him.

wet says on 24/Nov/09
MJ was 5'11", you can verify that by looking at his mugshot from Santa Barbara

mId says on 24/Nov/09
this video has probably already been mentioned.. but there is a video on youtube where michael receives an award from eddie murphy on the arsenio hall show.. and if memory serves me right.. michael was taller than both eddie and arsenio? have to look it up again to be sure though.

burby says on 23/Nov/09
Who believes that NY Post garbage? Read it again, it has MJ at "He was 99 pounds, NOT even 5-foot-7 when I worked with him, 27-inch waist" The NY Post is bird cage liner.

ACG says on 23/Nov/09
Wow, did Frank2 really claim 5'9" for Michael at one point!?!?

If so, then that shows just how inconsistent and ridiculous he is.

Why? He met Michael once in 1988(according to him).....now what would make him decide about two decades later to change his initial estimate?? Nobody says, "Oh, now looking back 20 years ago, he was an inch shorter than what I thought up until now......",

So, in 2009 Frank says there was no way in hell MJ was anything over 5'8", yet he claimed 5'9" for MJ less than 3 years ago.....from an encounter that took place when Reagan was in office.

Go figure. The man is unreliable.

Dural says on 23/Nov/09
He looks like a weak 5'8" in almost every picture. I also imagined him taller, but that's only his slim build.

Brad says on 23/Nov/09
That's the first thing I said when I saw him close-up onstage: he's much taller than you'd expect. As listed 5' 9".

RisingForce says on 23/Nov/09
That's fine ACG, but why does he rarely look over 5'8" when he stands next to someone with a height listed by this site? Unless Rob has a lot of upgrading to do, it appears that Michael is no taller than 5'8".

Until I see some good pictures where Jackson consistently looks taller I'll stick to what I believe his height is. I was shocked to look back at how often he looked 5'8" max, I always would have imagined him at closer to 5'10" or 5'9" bare minimum. In fact I use to think he was 5'10"-5'11".

I think that his thin frame fooled me initially because I just can't see him at any taller than 5'8" next to Eddie Murphy, Quincy Jones Stallone, Sinatra, Lionel Richie, George Lucas, Paul McCartney, Ronald Reagan, Sammy Davis Jr.

Based on comparisons to those celebrities, Frank's estimate did seem accurate(although it's interesting to point out that Frank used to claim that Michael was 5'9").

Michael was described as 5'7" in this article. Click Here

ACG says on 22/Nov/09
I was just reading an article by someone who saw him perform live at the Motown 25 Commemorative show.....the author mentioned that he was surprised by how tall MJ was in person. And a lot of other people have made the exact same claim!

Rising, nobody would ever describe a 5'8 or even a 5'9 man as being "much taller than expected", yet you hear that about MJ all the time!!

If he was 5'8-5'9, you'd constantly hear people comment to the likes of "wow, i didn't think he was so small"......yet the only time I've ever heard that particular eyewitness is from the nutcase known as Frank2.

Frank2 claimed many times that he could easily spot a 5'8 man.....yet, he claims Matt Damon is that very height and I know you adamantly disagree with that estimate of his. He also had Colin Farrell at 5'8 and Stallone at 5'7(!).....lol, 'nuff said.

Jordan says on 18/Nov/09
He wears his trousers high too, to create an illusion of being taller. And being slim too, also creates the effect.

burby says on 17/Nov/09
Brad, did ya ask Rog' how it felt getting Ported?

RisingForce says on 17/Nov/09
Nice reference to my favorite movie and Jackson was 1.5" taller than 5'6.5".

Brad says on 16/Nov/09
He'd have to bring a Sosa crew that invaded Tony Montana's crib. I'll be upstairs watching on the monitors especially for the guy with the sunglasses. The Sinatra photo is a joke, what is Jax, 5' 6.5"?.

RisingForce says on 16/Nov/09
Lets look at this logically. Michael gives the impression of someone much taller than 5'8", but more often than not when standing next to someone with a fairly well established height range, he doesn't look over 5'8".

Lets assume that a 5'7" Frank Sinatra was in absolutely massive 3" elevators and Jackson was 5'9" and wearing 1" shoes, they'd be the same height. Well they're not, Sinatra is an inch or an inch and a half taller.

Same with Brando. It's doubtful that Marlon was over 5'8" at his age in those photos, but yet he looks significantly taller. Probably because they were both about the same height and Marlon's footwear advantage made him look taller.

Aleks says on 15/Nov/09
Beware of what you're saying Brad, G is coming to your home to break your jaw!

burby says on 15/Nov/09
That Sinatra photo is useless for height gauging, I guess MJ is 5'6.5". Emile must be 5'1" then.

Brad says on 15/Nov/09
Wasted money. I don't even own a cell phone, in fact in the past month I've used the phone zero times. I got a 1975 rotary dial one here. G would love to hear from Rog'. See how his site is coming along. Ask about his kids, DOC maybe, chasing Beatles, ask if he met his postman. The G, I wonder if stood by Jax.

Brad says on 14/Nov/09
Cause it costs money and I'd rather buy candy. I'm sure a few mug shots would be interesting. I think he said he was in footwear when his mug was shot. We can believe a Portman-Priestley add. He should be a rappah. DJ Scribble/Da G-Ster/5-8 Str8/Morristown G-Man/Lil' G/Emile By Inch.

Speaking of short people and violence, what ever happened with that gun battle outside your house on the Jason Priestley page?

Naomzz says on 13/Nov/09
he looks about 6 ft 2 in videos

Brad says on 13/Nov/09
In Wyoming guns are like cans of coke, they are everywhere. I've seen things that could take down Big Foot shouldered...and they strap .45's to their belts too. Dickie Cheney let everything become legal up there, they got fireworks building year round at the border, even kids get their boom-boom. I hear up at Bocephus's (Hank Jr.) crib in Montana he has enough fire power to take out the Rollin 30's if they ever came to Montana. I wonder if G ever got yoked on an elevated. "I want all your signed photos now". "Yessir, have you met your postman?". G is going to be a rappah. 5-6 point 5 scribble is his name. "No hate cuz ya don't think I'm 5 feet 8 cuz am talking str8".

burby says on 13/Nov/09
Dang, and you talk about fake gunfighting on the Stallone page. Some serious gang activity is going on in Long Island, my father once saw a guy carrying a MAC 10/11 in public!!!! About a month or 2 ago on my street, apparently a couple of kids beat up some other kid, and hid out 3 houses down from me, one of them with a gun. The cops brought out the van, dogs, shotties, and M4s. Maybe the gang members should take orders from Emile Hirsch a la Alpha Dog. Lil' Emile can be his street name yo. No violence, just fetch my boots with mass wedge inside, kid.

Brad says on 12/Nov/09
Newark was a dead city for years. The police and politicians totally corrupt. Lotta bloods in Bed-Stuy. Let some real Crip G's come in from Cali and they'll be moved out. East N.Y. & Brownsville are Harlem 1972. When you got Shakur and Mr. Smalls executed by gangs, anybody can be iced no matter what posse they lay with and what heavy guns they carry. I heard Michael Jackson was learning the Crip walk, sorta a mini moonwalk in a 10 foot area.

RisingForce says on 11/Nov/09
Yeah, everything has bulletproof glass at the counter where i live...the liquor store, the fastfood/burger place, the chinese food restaurant. Doesn't do much good though. Bloods hang out on Marcus Garvey Blvd. and yet people in this neighborhood still don't like going to east New York. That oughta sum up East NY.

NY has definitely gotten better, most of Manhattan is fine. Camden just seemed to get worse while Newark is a bit better than it was. I can't believe there was a time when Camden was a nice city looking at it these days.

Brad says on 11/Nov/09
I've never seen bulletproof glass at a counter cept in L.A. County gas stations and a few post offices out there, that's wack. East New York is like walking into Iraq knowing bombs might go off by your vehicle. Camden was booming in the 60's now it is D.C. or Detroit with no police. L.A. has town after town with no middle class, or upper. Lots of NYC has become better. If G were riding his line in '73 he'd be yoked for his bag daily. Times Square was crazy in '77. Bernie Goetz was a hero, Sliwa too.

RisingForce says on 9/Nov/09
East New York is still really bad. Most of the people here in Bed Stuy don't even like to go there. I've never been to LA. Only East Coast. Jersey's got some war zones too. A good chunk of Camden, New Jersey is abandoned factories, junkyards and stripped down cars. Makes East New York look like Beverly Hills.

Never seen a guard with a .45 in any of the restaurants here. Most just have bulletproof glass at the counter.

Brad says on 8/Nov/09
East New York was real bad in the 70's, like even the gangstahs talked like it was going into Viet Cong infested jungles if you didn't know anybody or ran with a pack. Brownsville is wack. That place is full of gangstahs and mayhem. Now out in L.A. you get escorted out of bad sections by standard Adam-12 black & white L.A. units or the L.A. County Sheriff's units. I wanted to buy some vinyl in South-Central and man they both said the deeper you go into this area the more problems you may have, we suggest you leave. In NYC it is every man for himself in Brownsville,East New York. I drove through Snoop's old hood in the LBC to cut down some time and it looked like sharks circling for meat til a black & white unit said to follow him out. The Mickey D's had a guard with a .45! That's when you know it is rough, protecting Ronald and getting hit on fer change in the drive-through as yer car is moving.

Brad says on 8/Nov/09
Because he's a loser and a liar. Hi, my name is G and I'm 5' 8", my friends say I look 5' 9" and my doctor measures me at 5' 8". File under Emile Hirsch. Got Portman? er milk?

RisingForce says on 8/Nov/09
Bed-Stuy is better than it was in the 80's/90's, but still pretty rough. Shootings still aren't uncommon, in fact there was just one about 4 days ago right around where I get my Chinese food.

There are some crazy people here. My favorite is the guy across the street who lives in an abandoned house yet he tells everyone here that he has a mansion in Georgia and a yacht.

East New York is rougher than Bed-Stuy, though. I gotta go there this week, unfortunately I don't have a rocket launcher to bring there ala Charles Bronson in Death Wish 3. Brownsville is also no place to walk at night.

Brad says on 7/Nov/09
Because G lied through his teeth to make himself taller and wrecked this site. Jay Z lived in the bricks in Bed-Stuy. Them bricks is da craziest. I took a wrong train from Brooklyn and saw them firsthand in '76....as Jay Z told me a few years back at The Bellagio "it was really bad by '86, the NYPD would bring in 3 units for stupid stuff". I like Jay Z, real deal nice guy, knew all the Rucker legends, record stores, this n that n that n this. James Brown: "down n out in NYC, da bricks". Go to 118th n 8th in 1972, "Viet Nam was Hawaii compared to there" (Frank Lucas 2007).

Aleks says on 6/Nov/09
Waiting for G da 5'8"'s career to rise to fame.

Brad says on 6/Nov/09
I live in Colorado and near Rancho Mirage Ca.. Sure they dress like Frank, they hung with Sinatra & Jilly and never left their Bob Hope Classic golf outfits from '82 go to the garbage. Bed-Stuy have better threads, even G in Morristown wears better. Jay-Z slung rock in Addidas black, a fine color that he wears today. G is a rapper, his name is "G Scribble". The G. I'm sick of Sly height, I want a G site. The G-ster.

RisingForce says on 5/Nov/09
Yeah, Brad. I live in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. There's a homeless shelter on the next block so a lot of homeless people asking for money. You got guys who dress like Frank from Scarface on your street? Where do you live?

And I don't see a full 2 inches between Jackson and Sinatra. Maybe an inch at most, but I doubt at that age that Sinatra was anything over 5'7"(if he ever was) so I'd guess Sinatra had lifts and in reality barefoot Jackson was 5'8".

Brad says on 5/Nov/09
You've got Frank taller than Michael, that's like Emile Hirsch taller than G.

Aleks says on 5/Nov/09
You still didn't answer my interrogation. How can shoes give you FOUR INCHES?

I say Sinatra was 5'7", MJ 5'8".

Brad says on 5/Nov/09
MJ 5' 9", FS 5' 7". Bank it. You got homeless woman on your street? Jeeezus, I got guys named Murray wearing bling so loud they spell 1973 with their Bob Hope loud golf pants...sorta like Elliot Gould with Danny Ocean with the cigar or "Frank" from "Scarface".

Aleks says on 4/Nov/09
Unless he is wearing INCREDIBLY high platform shoes, there's no way Sinatra can be two inches taller than Jackson with them if he is two inches shorter without them. Have you heard of any shoes who can gives you four full inches?

Come on.

Brad says on 4/Nov/09
Ever see the photo of G with Krist from Nirvana? That's me with a 5' 6"er like G in that photo. If he said he was 5' 8" I'd be laffin'. Jackson is 5' 9" (was!).

RisingForce says on 3/Nov/09
Yeah, there's this homeless woman who always asks me for money when I walk around the corner of my street. She's so short that she probably reaches my shoulders or maybe a bit higher. Could I accurately estimate her height? No way. If she said she was 4'8" I'd believe it, but I'd believe it if she said she was 4'10" as well.

Aleks says on 3/Nov/09
Click Here

Jackson was no taller than Frank Sinatra. Sinatra probably wore lifts in this picture, however, there's still a clear two-inch difference in his favor. So even if you'd pull them off, they'd be about the same height.

Now I'm waiting for some clown to claim that Sinatra was 5'9".

RisingForce says on 2/Nov/09
Except I can't go with 5'9" because he WITH a footwear advantage he was shorter than 5-9ish Eddie Murphy in several pictures.

Brad, have you noticed that whenever he's pictured with a celeb with a page here, he almost never looks 5-9 in comparison? Look at him with Reagan, Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie, Marlon brando, Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, Paul McCartney, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra ect. Were they all wearing lifts?

Brad says on 1/Nov/09
He wasn't slouching just a couple arm lengths away walking towards a judge, I was sitting. I'd almost go 5' 10" he was so military, he had the jacket to match. Go with the 5 feet nine. Look at him with Jesse.

Bored on CH. says on 1/Nov/09
Well I have judged by photo's Michael Jackson is a bit below 5'9". He looked 5'9" - 510" to me but he was NOT even 5'8" in those photos with Brando.

If Brando wasn't on a box or wore lifts and Jackson lost the slouch Brando had 1" on him. I'd say 5'8" or so for Jackson.

RisingForce says on 1/Nov/09
Exactly Brad, Tupac's autopsy height was BS meaniung that you can't rely on autopsy heights. If you think he's 5'9" then fine, just don't cite the autopsy height as some kind of proof because we know they can be unreliable.

But at 6'6", how can you tell the difference between 5'8" and 5'9"? I'm 5'7.5"-5'8" and it can be difficult for me to tell, especially if someone slouchs.

Brad says on 31/Oct/09
Tupac was never 6' in his life. He was barely taller than the booted G who is 5' 6.5" tops in photos. That autopsy figure is a farce. Jackson is dead on as listed by the LACO. I've seen him from feet away in a court and onstage he's as listed by Rob: 5' 9". People, he's 5' 9", he slouches in every photo-op.

RisingForce says on 30/Oct/09
No answer, Brad?

empty nest says on 30/Oct/09
It's very normal for a person to "settle" once they hit their 50's. Some people begin to lose some height as early as their 40's if there's been back injury. I would estimate that due to his age and the stress he put on his back with all the dancing, that he definately lost some height.
Lisa Marie Presley is only 5'2. If I remember correctly, she came up to around his chin. The average height of an adult skull is about 7 inches, (give or take an inch).
i personally don't think he was any more then 5'10 at the most. His build made him look taller though.

Jess says on 29/Oct/09
In his autobiography, Moonwalk, he said he is 5'10''

RisingForce says on 28/Oct/09
Brad, stop avoiding this question. Tupac's autopsy also said he was 6 feet tall, do you believe that too? Answer that or you lose all credibility.

Brad says on 28/Oct/09
The autopsy said 5' 9". Brando wore huge customs.

RisingForce says on 27/Oct/09
But what about the picture from the late 80's? it looks like they're at an event and not an awards show and not a photo shoot. Brando looked taller again.

We know Eddie Murphy, Quincy Jones. Ronald Reagan and Sammy Davis Jr. weren't on boxes. I see no reason why Wesley Snipes, Lionel Richie, Paul McCartney and George Lucas would all be on boxes. I doubt there was some conspiracy to make MJ shorter.

The only thing I can see supporting Jackson at 5'9"-5'10" is the taller impression he gives, but I think that's simply what that is, an impression caused by his slim build. I use to think 5'9"-5'10" for Jackson as well, but in almost every photo he looks shorter when he's compared to someone else.

ACG says on 26/Oct/09

There's another picture of them from the late 80's on google images where jackson is closer to the camera and still shorter!





Wouldn't shock me in the least if Brando was on top of a massive box in those shots. I've never seen Michael look so short......because he isn't.

YOUBOOT says on 26/Oct/09
to "risingforce"
i have 4 pictures of me (5'9) with my sister's boyfriend (6'0) and we look nearly the same height in these photos. i met mj in 1997 and i can tell u he was as tall as me(or even slightly taller) and i had my tall boots on

Lon says on 25/Oct/09
I'am 5'8" an i met Mike Tyson once in an airport, we stood almost the same height. How i come to that conclusion, there's a pic of MJ with Mike Tyson an Don King, Mike Tyson's arm is on MJ's shoulder that let's me know MJ can't be more than 5'9" tall at the most.

Aleks says on 25/Oct/09
I don't know if Brando wore big shoes in those pics, but he was certainly not over 5'8" in his later years, probably due to his obesity.

He was 5'10" during Thriller..later on maybe due to illness he might have been 5'8".

Brad says on 21/Oct/09
Take out that slouch and he's 5' 9". Rob has him nailed. He isn't 5' 8". His autopsy is better than that skipper.

RisingForce says on 21/Oct/09
No it's not, that'd put him about the same height as Eddie Murphy which is absurd considering Jackson IN cowboy boots was shorter than Murphy was in flat shoes.

That picture was not a one off illusion either. Look at him with Quincy Jones, an aged Marlon Brando, Lionel Richie, Wesley Snipes, Paul McCartney and Ronald Reagan.

Brad says on 19/Oct/09
Watch his film, you'll see just how tall he is. This under 5' 9" figure is a joke.

RisingForce says on 19/Oct/09
Look up photos of him with an aging, severely overweight Marlon Brando(who was 5-8.75 peak) and then tell me Michael was 5-9.

The Navy told me I was 5'7" tall, but you would not believe how many men I meet that say they are 6' and look me straight in the eye! LOL Nobody walks around with a tape measure.

Guy,

I agree!! There should be NO MORE arguing. He was 5'9 end of story. He had arthritis in his lower back, so he may have well been 5'10 once, but resulting arthritis may have caused him to shrink or slouch a bit. By looking at the pic, if he were standing straight, he would be close to 5'10 yes. So ONCE AGAIN, he was 5'9!! END OF STORY

So you guys actually think Jackson was 5'10" for 99 lbs when he filmed Thriller?

Total nonsense.



A 5'10" man weighing 99 lbs. would look like a zombie. HEY, WAIT----

Wait, you're 5'8" and 109 pounds.

If anyone still doubts that Michael was only 5'8", go look at pictures of Michael and an aged, overweight Marlon Brando. Brando when he was young and in shape was only 5'8.75".

Danimal, I have a different build so it's hard to compare. I defintley think I look thinner than he did in the picture above with Alan Light, but in recent years? I don't know, I defintley don't look as frail as he did. I believe we're similar in height and weight, though.

Just like his freaking autopsy said: 5' 9". Right next to me 5' 9". I liked it when some Denver lawyer was trying to nail him on ripping off this bozo I've seen in clubs singing and he sang all kinds of hooks & riffs and harmony to the lawyer showing how he nailed it down. The court was speechless, the guy was human music box! He did the Our Gang Stymie smile. I caught it and almost keeled over laughing. He knew his Little Rascals stuff. Priceless!
