Anonymous is correct. I have been with Mel Gibson on the beach here in Florida and I'm 5ft 8 and he was exactly my height or just maybe 1/2 inch taller then me in bare feet. 5ft 8 1/2 tops. And he is exactly the same height as Parkinson. I now know how false things are on the net.

5' 9.5". I'll give him 0.5" more than I previously did based on further research findings.
He is 2" shorter than 5' 11.5" George Michael.
The same height as 5' 9.5" Rod Stewart and Michael Buble.
1.5" taller than 5' 8" maximum Peter Kay.
0.5" taller than 5' 9" Sir Paul McCartney.
How does this sound to you Rob? 180max! says on 11/Jan/10
Michael Parkinson appears to be exactly the same height as Rod Stewart. 5' 9" maximum. Lozzer says on 21/Jun/09
5'8 Noel gallagher was 1-2 inches shorter than him... Watch it on YouTube, the YouTube search: "Noel Gallagher interview" will find the one with dustin hoffman I think :) Anonymous says on 11/Mar/09
He looks about 5'9-10 to me, Mel Gibson was the same height as him in similar footwear, and Mel claims 5'10 Samuel says on 1/Mar/09
this guy is 5 foot 11. My mum got a pic with him the other day when he had an event here in autralia and she is 5 foot 4 in shoes and he towered over her and she wasnt wearing heels. He looked about 5 foot 11 next to her. Anonymous says on 18/Feb/09

One of the only decent Chat Show hosts in the UK. Shame he's retired. He treated his guests with respect unlike other hosts. GUK says on 3/Nov/08
It's pointless comparing people to Clarkson on Top Gear, They are on a stage and the camera is low down G O says on 3/Nov/08

Yet shorter in others

He doesn't force posture all the time though.
5 10 to 10.5 is probably about right peter says on 17/Feb/08
he was exactly the same height as mel gibson Grant says on 21/Jan/08
Remember Michael Parkinson is now in his early 70's so he could have lost a couple of inches from his younger days. He could have been 6'1" in his prome Anonymous says on 10/Jan/08
When Noel Gallagher went on his show and they stood next to each other when shaking hands they looked the same height and Noel is 5'8. I think kb's comment at the bottom is right. Ejel Khan says on 11/Dec/07
Parky's 5'11"! kealan says on 25/Jun/07
I'm extremely shocked to see on your site that michael parkinson is only 5'10. I saw him tonight on (more than)Enough rope with andrew Denton who would be about 5'6 or 5'7 and parkinson was atleast 5 inches taller. Even if he was 5'10 he never looked short. Let's just say i'm 5'10 and i never looked tall G-MANN says on 13/Jan/07
Once Mel Gibson was on his show and the subject of Mel's height came up (he's always been described as quite short) and Mel claimed he was 5'10.5" (if my memory serves me correctly) so they both stood up and they were about the same height. Dave says on 21/Apr/06
Henry is either listed as 6' or 6'1''. No way is he 6'3.
[Editor Rob: well, I met Tony Adams last month and thought he was a strong 189cm, possibly close to 6ft 3. I was gonna shake his hand but he'd just been in the John...
Adams and Henry] johnny says on 14/Feb/06
what are you on, havnt you seen when 6'3 Thierry Henry came on the show, there wasnt much difference. I say hes 6'1
[Editor Rob: Henry 6ft 3???] kb says on 12/Nov/05
No way is Michael Parkinson 5 foot 10ins. I have met him and I am 5foot 8ins and he was definitely no taller than me. He's a sycophantic little Yorkie. |
