thanx Rob for the clarification
runt says on 30/Mar/08
Guys with long foreheads look shorter than they are because of their low eye level and they probably feel shorter too because they look eye to eye with people that are shorter.

[Editor Rob: there isn't that much variation. Keaton is slightly closer than Glenn here.]

Looks 5' 10" in that pic above.
Chris says on 26/Feb/08
He was about 1.5 inches taller than Andie MacDowell in Multiplicity, so he's probably a little under 5'10".
Editor Rob says on 1/Feb/08
I added the bigger size for this pic to this page.
Ronno says on 16/Jan/08
He's 5'9-5'10. would be 5'9-ish without shoes on.
leonari says on 16/Jan/08
correct Shredder. This who say 5'8" for Keaton are fools.
the shredder says on 16/Jan/08
Ok , I think we are getting closer to Keaton's real height ... I was watching Multiplicity the other day and Notice that Glenn Shadix ( who Rob saw and thought at best 5'10 ) was in a scene with Keaton and look slightly taller then Keaton ... not much , but he was taller ! ... Also , Keaton had some GOOD barefoot Scenes with Andie MacDowell who is 5'8 ! ... Keaton was around 1 inch or 1.5 inch taller her ! Keaton being slightly shorter then 5'10 Shadix + him being taller then 5'8 MacDowell = 5'9 to 5'9.5

That I think is his true height !
GSP says on 12/Jan/08
looks no more than an inch over glenn there.
redrum says on 11/Jan/08
With 5-9 Chris O'Donnel

absolutey accurate. Average height. Looks pretty good lately...turning 57 this year.
Mac says on 17/Dec/07
Saw desperate measures last night. Footwear looked funny. 5'9.
Marcelo C. says on 7/Dec/07
I guess 5´9" or so is O.K.. He never looks much taller than that.
Cpt. Crunch says on 6/Nov/07
A head taller than 5-3.5 Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice

AshnarLynx says on 5/Nov/07
He has always looked a solid 5ft10 to me.
dmeyer says on 3/Nov/07
looks 5'10 in the pic
Alex says on 3/Nov/07
Looks a weak 5'10 with Glenn. I think the 5'9.75 here looks percise.
Anonymous says on 2/Nov/07
He looks 1.5-2 inches taller than glenn. The truth lies somewhere between 5'9"-5'10" probably.
Anonymous says on 2/Nov/07
looks a good 5'10 there
ras says on 30/Sep/07
Rob, is Glenn 172 or 173? Why do you have him listed here at 172?
Anonymous says on 6/Sep/07
Also, in Night Shift, the scene where Kevin Costner is briefly shown...Keaton looks a good 5 inches shorter. I'd say 5'8"-5'9".
Melvin says on 9/Jul/07
I read 16 years ago he is 5ft 8 and wears lifts. This was from Fantasmagoria magazine whatever it was called. They said the Batman suit was made for a 5ft 8 guy. The stuntman David something was also 5ft 8. Then they said Keaton wore lifts when he was not in the Batsuit.
KingNick says on 12/Apr/07
Antron, good pic. I think though that his hair is making him 6' plus I'm sure he's wearing shoes, probably even a dress shoe. I think 5'10" is fair.

And with Batman Returns and Christopher Walken, camera angles are very very deceiving. I'd have to watch the movie again, but it may have been angles.
anonymous says on 3/Apr/07
check out the saturday night live episodes he used to star in. that should give a good idea.
the shredder says on 23/Feb/07
I use to think Keaton was shorter , but 5'10ish is pretty fair !
Chris says on 21/Feb/07
Looks a bit like Tom Jones in that pic.
Jordan says on 12/Feb/07
Kevin T, Walken did tower him but it is also because Walken had crazy hair that was all up in the air.
Antron says on 9/Feb/07
I just found this picture, weird:
Click Here

No way is he close to 6, I peg him around 5'9.5", more like this pick with 5'6ish Martin Short (Short with slight lean):

16and5'7.25'' says on 9/Feb/07
rob, why does it say glenn is only 172 cm below the pic? isn't 172 cm about 5'7.5''? i thought glenn was 173 cm (or 5'8'')

[Editor Rob: there are a few remnants of 172cm around, I give the glenn his 173cm usually, but thanks for pointing out, my mind half the time is thinking in cm and then feet]
kevin t says on 15/Jan/07
I've noticed that the more people like an actor and/or associate him with heroic film roles, the taller they make him in their minds. Whereas the more they perceive an actor as egoistic and vain, the shorter they cut him from his publicized height.

If Keaton is 5' 10", why does 6' 0"-Christopher Walken tower over him in Batman Returns? There seems to be at least a 3" differential, even disregarding
Walken's ridiculous pompadour hairdo.
Brad says on 8/Dec/06
5' 9". The photo with Justin Long proves it. Wears lifts.
Glenn says on 8/Dec/06
I always thought Keaton was 5-8,5-9.and did look 5-9ish when I met him 14 years ago.now,he appeared 5-10.5 or so.I think he might be 5-10.his footwear did look funny.but then again,so do mine sometimes.
anonymous2 says on 7/Dec/06
sleuth says on 2/Dec/06
Everybody needs to watch "My LIfe" where Keaton is in many scenes with 5'10.5" Nicole Kidman

I've wondered about that too. Explanation is either lifts or Kidman isn't really 5'10.5".
Glenn says on 7/Dec/06
Lifts?
Glenn says on 6/Dec/06
Thats a big 5-8 man over here.and I was wearing boots.only a handful of photos I have boots on.the boots dont account for as much height as one thinks though.
Kevin T says on 6/Dec/06
Five feet eight inches, no question. Keaton is a very likable man...I find it interesting that most posters consider him much taller than Tom Cruise, who is about the same size.
sleuth says on 2/Dec/06

Glenn says on 3/Nov/06
Thanks Jordan and RWfender.Frank2 is LONG gone.
Jordan says on 2/Nov/06
For the record Glenn is no 5'6. In almost all his pictures he looks the 5'8 he says he is . Why the hell would he lie about it. Glenn is really is trying to help us out here, so chill with the 5'6 nonsense. Glenn if this Frank 2 guy is really pissiin you off maybe you should stand in front of a height chart just to prove him wrong and shut him up.
MHouillon says on 6/Oct/06
Yeha, Rut. I think a 177cm (5'9.5") is a more honest height for Michael Keaton.
Glenn says on 3/Oct/06
Thanks Rwfender.
Rut says on 1/Oct/06
Keaton is 5 9 and a half..I think...
Thee are still to many bizar and ridicoulous comments on this site that should be left out, I think.
Chris says on 18/Sep/06
When Michael was on Dr Phil, he looked 6-7 inches shorter. Dr Phil is 6'4''.
rwfender says on 29/Aug/06
Glenn, i believe you're 5'8...you dont look like you have the build of someone 5'6...i also tend to agree with most of your estimates
Glenn says on 28/Aug/06
I even heard 5-8.
Rut says on 27/Aug/06
Glenn is satnding further anyway, so...
Kaeton could be 5 foot 10, but comes over sometimes as a five foot niner..
Rut says on 15/Aug/06
Keaton could be only five nine.. but it's not accurate, who cares anyway, he's a great actor!!
Glenn says on 14/Aug/06
There not threats Frank.youd love to know Frank Im wearing boots here too.I only wear boots on occasion.2 inches only.so Im 5-5.Rob warned me you have pulled this 5-6 shrinking stunt on me before too.but wouldnt let your bile through.maybe keatons wearing litfs.maybe not.what does the height say at top of page.accept it Frank.again your wrong.
Frank2 says on 14/Aug/06
Maybe Glenn's 5'6". Anything's possible.

Keaton is not 5'10". I know since I met him as well as the fact that a good friend who's an actor appeared with him in a film and they were the same size. My friend is about 5'8".

And Glenn, the threats really are getting old. If you want to prove something to the world, stand in front of a height chart when you're next photographed. And barefoot.
Viper652 says on 12/Aug/06
He looks at least 5-10 in the picture with Glenn.
Glenn says on 12/Aug/06
Your right Frank.in your world Im 5-6.come up with more stabs as I proove the world your wrong.
Frank2 says on 10/Aug/06
Maybe Glenn is shorter than he claims to be.

I've seen Keaton and no way is he 5'10". If so then I'm 6'.
Jordan says on 9/Aug/06
Dunno keaton just looks a solid 5'10. If Gleen is 5'8, 5'10 for keaton looks good in the pic. Defninetly not shorter then 5'9, since he has glenn by it looks 3 inches.
vienna says on 30/Jun/06
I watched an entire concert looking over his shoulder, I'm 5'9" with shoes on and he wasn't any taller than I am...we were oddly wearing the same shoes, too. So, he didn't have an avantage. I'd say he's probably 5'8 1/2" barefoot.
Glenn says on 11/May/06
I agree the man might be wearing lifts in my photo.
Frank2 says on 10/May/06
I have an actor friend who's worked with Keaton on a couple of films. My friend claims he's 5'10" but next to me looks more like 5'8.5" at the most. He has several photos of himself with Keaton. I'd post one, but he'd get pissed. Anyway, both men look about the same height.
Shane says on 9/May/06
Frank2, maybe the reason he was so much shprter than you was that he was standing quite a ways in front of the chart on The Dream Team.
Frank2 says on 27/Apr/06
Hahahahahahahaha!!
George H says on 27/Apr/06
Frank2: using your own line of deduction (like you did in the infamous Elvis section of this forum haha) I'd have to say that Annette is 5'8" and Beatty 6'2". If not, then my wife could not be the solid barefoot 5'9" and I could not be the solid, barefoot 6'1" that we are, and we might have to eat our keyboard! :)
Frank2 says on 26/Apr/06
Going back and looking at the shot of Colin standing there I noticed her heels aren't even one inch high! They're just little tiny spikes that the carpet mostly covers up. On the other hand, Keaton's shoes are definitely of the height-increasing variety.
Frank2 says on 26/Apr/06
I've seen Bening and she looks no more than 5'7" to me. Also in that photo with her husband, Warren, he's a good five inches taller and Beatty is 6'1". I guess she was wearing either flats or shoes with two inch heels. With Keaton she could have been wearing higher heels.
George H says on 26/Apr/06
Frank2: my wife (who's 5'9") and I estimated Annette Bening at 5'8" when we saw her and Warren Beatty at the Toronto Film Festival. She was wearing about 2" heels and looked 1 inch taller than my wife in flats.
Frank2 says on 25/Apr/06
Keaton wasn't slouching. He's just not that tall.
Shane says on 25/Apr/06
Maybe Michael just has really bad posture, and alot is sort of a perspective, or maybe he was wearing small shoes, maybe he had a slouchy posture or maybe you're a little taller than you think, you were as tall as David Strathairn you maybe 5'11.5 inches. PS i was the guy who was obnoxious on the Walt Disney page, I apologize if you didn't know it was me.
Frank2 says on 24/Apr/06
Then explain why Keaton is a lot shorter than me while Jeff is taller by about an inch to two inches?
Stiffelio says on 24/Apr/06
Frank2, then explain why he's nearly as tall as Jeff Bridges.
Shane says on 24/Apr/06
I apologize for being so obnoxious and immature, Frank 2. It was uncalled for. Maybe they made they faked the chart and he is 5'10" with sneakers on.
Frank2 says on 22/Apr/06
Then explain why he was so short next to me?
Shane says on 21/Apr/06
In The Dream Team with standard neakers 1.25 unches he is a little over '6" flat when his jail picture is taken, so I would say he is a bout 5'11"
Stiffelio says on 21/Apr/06
Up to now I was convinced Keaton was 5ft 10in or shorter but the last two pictures posted lead me to think he might be even taller than that. In the picture with Glen, Keaton looks more than 2 in taller: waht kind of shoes were you both wearing Glen? And in the picture with McNabb, Keaton looks less than 3 inches shorter. Therefore, either Keaton is in the 5ft 11in range OR Glen is shorter than 5ft 8in aand MacNabb is shorter than 6ft 2in OR Keaton wears lifts.

[Editor Rob: or possibly, McNabb's posture doesn't quite match up, but yeah there are some occasions when he can pull of 'looking' taller. But check getty images for him beside the 182cm david beckham]
Editor Rob says on 20/Apr/06
Keaton in vicinity of 6ft 2 McNabb, granted he's got better posture in couple of pics.
the shredder says on 19/Apr/06
frank2 , i think jack is the one that wears lifts . if you ever notice keaton looks roughly the same just about ever movie that hes in and nicholson don't ? the only movie that keaton comes off as being short is beetle juice . also in the movie pacific heights some card stated 5'10 155lbs . he also looks nothing else but 5'10 there with glenn . i think he could be as low as 5'8 , but i do doubt that he wears lifts.
Frank2 says on 15/Apr/06
If you watch the film you'll notice he's not lifting him in the entire scene and Jack is slightly taller.
Dominic says on 15/Apr/06
Frank 2, isn't Keaton kind of lifting Nicholson off of his feet a bit?
Frank2 says on 14/Apr/06
Keaton is about 5'9" on his best day.
175-77cm17andgrowing says on 14/Apr/06
I think Keaton has a very large face... or at least had it in his Batman movies when he was in shape... not in perfect shape though (He is no Shawn Michaels) but in good shape. I can't imagine him smaller than 5'10'', before I originally qould have given him 5'10.5'' or 5'11'' but he isn't that tall. Maybe 5'9.5'', maybe shorter. Don't forget the guy got older. If he played Bruce Wayne in the 3rd movie, alongside Nicole Kidman, we could estimate his height way better.
Glenn says on 14/Apr/06
I was surprised he looked 5-10.lifts?
Editor Rob says on 14/Apr/06
Here is a picture of Glenn with Batman himself, Michael Keaton. I think you said, he can look 5ft 9 in the past aswell...
Glenn says on 19/Mar/06
I agree Frank.
Frank2 says on 18/Mar/06
No way is Keaton 5'10'. And Nicholson the last time I saw him was no more than 5'8".
Glenn says on 18/Mar/06
possibly 5-9 in bare feet.
KingNick says on 17/Mar/06
I think Michael Keaton is a legitmate 5'10". In regards to BATMAN, Jack Nicholson is supposedly somewhere around the 5'9" area, I've even read 5'9.5". If you look closely at the BATMAN movie, his shoes are maybe 1/2 an inch high. An example of this is right in the beginning where he's holding the thug over the roof, they get a good shot of his feet. Any seen with Jack Nicholson, before or after he transforms into The Joker, he wears a dress shoe that looks to be an inch and a half to maybe two inches higher. One example of this is also in the beginning, when Napier has his feet on the magazines, you see a great shot of his shoes. It's real simple things like this that make everything complicated
tgri says on 5/Mar/06
my cuzin did't get a photo him , but he did get one with steven seagal.
Frank2 says on 26/Feb/06
Michael is around five feet eight. I mean Jack Nicholson was taller than him in Batman!

[Editor Rob: since there was another Frank who posts a lot, can you please add another initial to your name, so folk don't confuse the two of you :-) FrankD or something...]
tgri says on 21/Feb/06
my cuzin met michael keaton about 2 weeks ago at his job. i asked my cuzin how tall did he look. my cuzin said .. i don't know . he was setting down eating . my cuzin also met howard stern and he said .. dude hes huge , iam 6'1 and he was like 5 inches taller then me . i say he was about 6'6 dude .
MTed says on 15/Feb/06
I don't know about 5'10". See the frat party scene in Night Shift. he looked about 5'8" next to Kevin Costner
Anonymous says on 4/Feb/06
he might be under 5`10". About 5`9"
Raymond_u_k says on 21/Jan/06
No speculation required. Michael Keaton is definitely 5ft 10 in. I work at Heathrow Airport escorting the VIPs and that clot Keaton lost his passport and spent 2 hours with me at UK immigration filling out the intensive forms including his height, which is definitely 5 ft 10. And before you ask, he most certainly couldn't lie to UK immigration. Hence proved.
Zas says on 5/Oct/05
Keaton is 5-9 1/2. watch the film with Henry Winkler many years ago, and Batman with Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger.
bernar says on 4/Oct/05
he looks to be the same height as Nicole Kidman maybe 1 cm shorter so 178 makes sens if Kidman is 179.
