Be careful of pictures not full body length of Jagger, he often gets on his tippy toes for the pose
misteroz says on 11/Mar/10
A pic of Lennon? I could hardly talk and good thing I didnt soild myself! And this was a cute annecdote. I gave him the first piece of paper i found and asked fo an autograph he grabbed it looked at it quizzically, front and back
and said "Well about time I signed one of "THESE" . I was repairing Juke-boxes vending machines etc. Included were time punch machines.. I had given Lennon a time card to sign ... That made him so much more human with a whip fast sense of humor. By the way .. Liverpudians ARE known for walking a bit hunch back.Look at the video of Ed Sullivan doing the silly "thank-ya-boys-" with them and notice they all have it. In fact watch "A Hard Days Night" were they all have their little vignette. Most obvious was Georges in the "grotty" shirt bit. John , well John PLAYED hunchback and so did Ringo. With Paul, no "hunchback " moment comes to mind. In fact look at the interview when they first landed in NYC , Paul looks taller than George and John. misteroz says on 9/Mar/10
Regarding a previous post ( pretty long but I do not know how to find a post here) - Jagger became 5'10" outta nowhere , someone mentioned the ungly ortho shoes and it is true NOW but, most of his early struts were done on Capizios and they became the shoes to wear (at least in NYC) Now Capezios are BAD news for somone whos 5'5" (ME) but the tip toe thing does work. I recall a quote saying that at 57 he still had a "spring" on his step. Yeah the trick is to walk as you did when you were a kid, the heel never touches the ground and you "spring up" Rent "Being Mick Jagger" and follow his little trick. On stage the design was that the front end sloped upwards.
The deal here is as I said yesterday - Three brit rock stars SUDDENLY became 5'10" , Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, David Bowie (as 3 Beatles were 5'11") Stewart and Bowie change height in a middle of song. But 5'9 to 5'10" is TOTALLY inperciptible unless youre barefooted and somone is measuring you.
Being one of the height challenged , I can tell somene RIGHT in from of them I am 5'7" even 5'8" and I dont get any weird looks - or yeah sure).. In fact anyone who estimates my height usually goes for 5'8" . Trick is BALL OF YOUR FEET bounce. As far as a height complex . It all depends how you managed it as a kid and face head on. I call myself a "midget" "Being the midget I am..."
and 100% of the time if it is talking to a taller girl , I will get a giggle and a confession THEY have a complex for being too tall.
So, the way you carry yourself , posture and confidence add at least 2" to your height! ANd dont forget Napoleaons quote when a general told Napolean , he's reach for something for him because he was BIGGER to which Napoleaon replied. "YOU are taller , but NEVER bigger" misteroz says on 8/Mar/10
This place is adictive !.
Just seems te Brit men decide on a height amongst themselves and thats what you get. Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, David Bowie 5'10" (coindence?)
Stewart's height changes blatantly from one video or pic to another. On the video with that song he did with Sting , he walks in and he is like 3" taller than Sting ?! In a charity concert in Englad he is standing next to Paul McCartney(who IS 5'11" - there another coincidence 3 Beatles 5'11") and Stewart is about 4" taller than McCartney - On one pic next to Ron Wood hes shorter by inches on Wood, on another hes taller by inches.
I can not give you NUMBERS but living in NYC you do see and run into anyone whos famous.
So here's my assumption based mosltly into bumping into the folks
Sting - 5'11" EASY
John Lennon Looked gigantic (but here my senses may have failed me- 5'11" has been the number - but he looked more like 6'+ Yoko looked liked 5'0"
David Bowie .. 5'7" tops.
Mick Jagger .. 5'7" 5'8"
Ringo Starr - looked to me (recently) a lot taller than the 5'7" he's carried since the begining of time.
Bono - (this was a side to side drinking next to him for 3 hours before being famous) 5'5" TOPS
Andy Summers 5'5"
Penelope Cruz 5'2" (caught her with flip flops on 5th ave in NY)
Eddie Murphy (always with 2" heels ) and with that he came out even with a buddy whos 5'10" standing side by side at a club
Paul Simon . 5' nothing,
Rose Mcewen - Although wearing high heels she still had to be about 5'8 or 5'9" TALL lady and very much blessed
Saw Richard Burton hailing a cab diring a pouring rain . He was a lot taller in person than I thought
Kevin Kline - At a bad angle I was in the cab and he was hailing one but 6'2"
Phoebe Cates -(nrxt to Klein also tall 5'8" 5'9
And thats all folks. mcfan says on 5/Mar/10
60s memory:
Yeah, I know Lennon was slightly taller than Bowie as was Jagger. Can you add your photos here? 60s memory says on 1/Mar/10
Jagger's never taller than lennon/Mccartney. Even in early days of Stones, he looked a bit smaller than Lennon/McCartney. In Rock and Roll Circus, he looked a little bit taller than Lennon becaluse he wore a lifter (lennon wore sneakers) I have several photos of him next to lennon or Mccartney. I'm sure Lennnon and Mccartney were taller than him by an inch. anon1 says on 19/Jan/10
@anon2 I call bull****. You have never been in the same room as Mick Jagger. Your a total nerd. mcfan says on 5/Dec/09
I just saw Ed Sullivan video of him standing next to Jagger and was surprised he wasn't a little taller after I had just seen John & Paul appearing slightly taller next to him. The difference is the Cuban heels which J&P were wearing and Jags was wearing loafers. He does appear to have lost more height than Macca over the years. mcfan says on 5/Dec/09
Notice how he's wearing 1/2-inched heeled Converse sneakers as of late. Perhaps that is also making him appear shorter than he is. anon2 says on 5/Dec/09
I was standing next to Mick at a party in the early 1980's and we were eye to eye. I'm 5'9". DaveP says on 5/Dec/09
In an interview with Jerry Hall the interviewer mentioned Mick's height. She replied that he "isn't that short for an Englishman". mcfan says on 21/Nov/09
Yeah, he has lost height. If you look at "Dancing in the Streets" (1985 - age 42) he's clearly taller than David Bowie by a half-inch. Not long ago they were together again and Bowie was clearly taller than Jagger by a half-inch, so from my point of view he's lost at least an inch. Good posture does not mean that you will not lose height. Nutrition/genetics plays the strongest roles and I doubt from the looks of things that Jagger concentrates on enough of a proper diet. Good posture helps, though. Dylan says on 13/Nov/09
I don't think Mick has shrunk much at all. I still think he is 5'10", unlike Keith Richards he seems to have retained his posture. Karl Karlsen says on 30/Oct/09
On pics he's wearing Air max (~1.3inch heels) and he's 5-6 inches shorter than his girlfriend in heels (3 inch heels?) so he's 3.3-4.3 inches shorter, she's 6'3? No! She's more 6'2 (huge for a woman) and he's 5'9-5'10 (more 5'9).
It's hard to say.... but I think he's no more than 5'10. mcfan says on 25/Oct/09
JJ, not the case at all with height. My uncle used to be 5'11.5 and is now 5'8.5 at 72. His son (44 years old) who was exactly my height of 5'10 is now 5'8.5. I don't have an explanation for why they shrink. They do all have hunchbacks. My father was my height but is now 5'9 at 67. My sister used to be 5'5, but is now 5'4 (40 years old). Mick Jagger looks about 5'8.5 - .75 now. I'll be the first to tell you he was 5'10 in his youth, but I thought he and Keith shrunk as early as the mid-80s. Given their nutrition, it shouldn't be too much of a shock. Just look at Bowie and Jagger now. Jagger used to be a half-inch taller than him and now it's just the opposite. We know Bowie is only about 5'9. He was measured with boots on while with Tin Machine at 5'10.5 and these were 1.5 inch combat boots. JJ says on 5/Oct/09
Hate to break to a lot of the people who seem obsessed on this site. I am a doctor and all this talk about a man being an inch shorter at 60 something then they were at 20 something is nonsense. The average man shrinks 1 inch fully by the time he is around 80 and in some more rare cases an inch and a half. By 60 most men have just started to have any noticible height loss when measured and usually around 65-70 it measures about .5 inches to at worst .7 less the what you seem to call their "peak height". In that case if Jagger was a solid 5'10 right on the dot in his youth I would venture to guess he is about a solid 5'9.5 which is the same as being 5'10, because once again I knowsome of you think you have mystical powers of height dection sown to the mm but it is impossible to tell anything under about an inch to the human eye when it comes to human height and in most cases even an inch can be difficult to tell given hair and posture. Just saying.... Brian says on 29/Sep/09
In Bill Wyman's autobio he wrote "At 5'6" Mick was the tallest member of the band." Dries says on 19/Sep/09
He's definitely "height sensitive", doesn't like to be the shorter one. Still a good 5'9.5" to me! Anonymous says on 14/Sep/09
Some people say he's 5'6-5'7. But I agree that he looks more like 5'9 or even 5'10. mcfan says on 30/Jul/09
Mick has shrunk over the last few years, that's for sure. He did look a strong 5'10 in his heyday, but now looks not quite 5'9. Given his lack of nourishment, probably all that will be left in a few years is giant lips on top of a bag of bones. Orlando says on 18/Jul/09
Anonymous is right with the DJ Mark photo. Jagger also tiptoes in the group photo with Scorsese. The guy is a master tiptoer. Always wants to be the taller one in the photo. If he's, say, 1.72 m wearing 6 cm heeled sneakers tiptoeing he will look like 1.80 m tall, simple as that! Remember he has Gemini rising (a sign ruled by the trickster Mercury): these people are the typical "smart Alex". They are (irritating) born narcisists and are without scruples when it comes to present themselves in a more favorable light than reality. tg says on 12/Jul/09
stood next to mick at about '71 concert and he came to my shoulder. street fighting man was a real small fellow, a shrimp. I'm 5'10". Maybe he was slumping, but I'd have pegged him at 5'3". Say other factors were involved and he was 3 inches taller. I'd be surprised if he was over 5'6". Willem-NL says on 28/Jun/09
He is 173 cm tall, when he was younger. Now it´s only 169 cm ! adam says on 9/Jun/09
mick had a wax figure at madame tussauds in nyc, i know these arent reliable, but he was tiny like 5'7" Mr T-Cakes says on 23/May/09
There is a scene in Godard's One Plus One where he is shuffling about the studio barefoot, and he did look About 5ft8-9. And that was at his peak. He was also a lot shorter than James Fox in Performance, and walked about without shoes in that a lot.These days he probably wears lifts to compensate for the height age has taken from him. GUK says on 15/May/09
" don't buy that article with Radcliffe. Jagger used to be a half-inch taller than Bowie, but I think Bowie is slightly taller than him now. Even lower in the article it states that everyone over 17 nowadays is 6'2. Mick has shrunk for sure. Not a surprise...it doesn't look like he eats much, does it?"
Radcliffw is joking when he says everyone is 6ft 2, it's true though most young people in England are around 6ft these days. Radcliffe is about average height i.e. 5ft 9 ish maybe 5ft 10. So probably jagger is around that height and then stood on his tip toes. Like I said before Jagger's height confuses me, he can look 5ft 9 or almost 6ft,he is very skinny though, so maybe the tip toe trick is correct. I can't buy him being less than 5t 9 all the same Brad says on 15/May/09
He's as listed. He has posture better than Cruise/Pitt/Stallone. He sings hunched over bending which gives the impression he is shorter. CalifRags says on 14/May/09
Saw The Stones in concert years ago - Mick looked tiny. I guessed him to be no more than 5'6", maybe 5'7". Very slight of build, yet muscular, but not at all stocky. His incredible ability to dance around so "lightly" I attributed in large part to his slight build. guyfrommars says on 10/May/09

Check out this article featuring English radio DJ Mark Radcliffe. Scroll down to the Mick Jagger section. Radcliffe refers to Mick and the rest of the Stones as being "tiny" and also mentions that Mick tiptoes in the pic - "a trick he perfected years ago".
Mick will only reach 5'10" in lifts. All celebs seem to add the magic 2" to their height.

ok...had front row at Rod's concert and he is at least 5'10" and possible 6'0". Was next to Mick Jagger getting into his limo in '95 at Vanity Fair party and his head barely was above the door. No way he is taller than 5'8" and is probably less. This 5'10" business is probably a showbiz stretch of the truth. But who cares...both Rod and Mick are talented individuals who put on a great show. mcfan says on 12/Mar/09
Yeah, I saw Rod at 5'7 in the The Book of People too. His large head and big nose does make him look smaller than he is. I thought Rod was about 5'10.
It is obvious, though, that Jagger's height does fluctuate (5'9 -5'11). Back then he used to just wear sneakers, but now he wears questionable footwear at times from what I can tell. Very hard to judge. Brad says on 10/Mar/09
Looks shorter doing the Jagger strut onstage. Check him out walking around introducing the band etc....he can easily look 5' 11' with that posture. Anything below 5' 10" is ridiculous. mcfan says on 9/Mar/09
I still say he wears lifts. He can look 5'8.5 then look 5'11. He's probably shrunk so much because he doesn't eat and used to smoke like a fiend. Brad says on 6/Mar/09
He's lost nothing, he's still 5' 10". kiff says on 5/Mar/09
mcfan - i agree he must have shrunk about 2 inches since 60-70s. However, if a 60+ yo guy with an ultra-ripped physique of a 20yo athlete and a full head of hair looks horrible then..well maybe.. why not post a pic of yourself without a shirt? mcfan says on 10/Feb/09
I think Mick is 5'8.5 now. I do think he was 5'10 during his peak, but has shrunk quite a bit. Not surprising...he looks horrible as does Keith. redhead says on 26/Jan/09
I met The Rolling Stones in the 80s. They are all fairly small. I am 5'10", Mick appears to be about 5'8", Keith is shorter by far - around 5'6", Charlie, Bill and Ronnie about 5'5" - VERY SMALL!!! I felt like I towered over all of them! Spence says on 6/Dec/08
His girlfriend looks a solid 190cm. His 5ft10 does not look so beside her. His more like a solid 175ish old men nowadays.. mcfan says on 24/Nov/08

Hi guys, I'm back almost a year later, (last comment in Dec. 07) to say that I've read all your comments, and you can analyze and dissect photos up the kazoo, and some of you have spent a moment or two in his presence, but I spent an evening at his townhouse (amid many other celebs). We talked many times, he WAS NOT SLOUCHING in the least, he had Capezio jazz dance flats on, I did not find him sexy in the least, and most importantly, I had plenty of time (got there at 10 pm and left at 5 am) to size him up!! He was 5 ft. 8.5 inches. You have it from the source. P.S. He had a terrible sound system and he kept playing the same David Bowie album over and over until I asked him to change it.

Unlike some of you guys who seem to meet Mick Jagger with great regularity I have only come face to face with him once and I would find it difficult to estimate his height because the first thing that struck me was his rather strange way of walking, the next was how small of build he was. One thing is certain I am roughly 6`1" and his image was no where near my height irrespective of his shoe wear and taking into account his hair "do" which must add 2" to his height. I am told that the accurate way to judge height is to weigh up where someones eye line is in relationship to your own and this being the case I would guestimate his height at around 5`6"/5`8" MHouillon says on 8/Oct/08
Yeah. Time for ROb to change him to a more realistic 5'9. 5'10 PEAK-Height. 5'9 actual height. bob says on 12/Sep/08
I passed him in a theatre. He was no more than 5'9 max. harlan says on 9/Sep/08
I passed Mick in a street in London about 1972 and he is definitly shorter than 5'10". More like 5'7" ! mcfan says on 4/Sep/08
He looks taller than Bowie by a half-inch. Bowie was 5'9.5. Jagger looks like he's shrunk over the years, but then he'll wear large shoes and look tall. D says on 3/Sep/08
He looks about as tall as David Bowie. Click Here MickJagFan says on 27/Jul/08
He wears big elevated shoes. He always stretches his legs. He is no more than 5'9in 176cm Click Here Daniel says on 9/Jul/08
If Jagger was less than 1.80m in the 60s, then average height for English males at the time should have been 1.70 tops, for he looked rather tall most of the time. And I mean in normal shoes. Lmeister says on 3/Jul/08
Come on, Mick doesn't have the best posture and I do think that Janice Dickinson wears rather high heels all the time. Mick might be 1/2 inches shorter than her, but definitely not 5ft8. At least wasn't in his youth. Nowadays maybe around 5ft8.5. Anonymous says on 2/Jul/08
I am really doubting this 5'10" listing... Jane Dickinson (5'10") has said, "...he only came up to my shoulders if we were standing." soup says on 1/Jul/08
He is 5'10'' in the morning and 5'9'' at night.
Why my posts sometimes aren't saved? I posted only once yesterday right here.

Mick in not taller than 5'10'', maybe less. He looks short sometimes and the same height as David Bowie. JonDoe says on 26/Jun/08
so why the **** did Janice Dickinson call him a midget?This is what i read on the internet she said "he only came up to my tits". These statements make no sense to me. zapspace says on 11/Jun/08
Mick's always been height sensitive ... Wouldn't be surprised if he often wore special shoes. Daniel says on 4/Jun/08
I don't know about his height at present times, but what I'm almost sure is that if Jagger wasn't at least 5'11'' in the 60's, then most of the other rock musicians from his era, including his bandmates of course, were a bunch of short dudes, because he was clearly at least 2 inches taller than the average. Anonymous says on 30/May/08
I don't know about Mick. It's so hard to tell because he's clearly careful about his height. My dad saw the Stones live in the seventies and said that they were all a bunch of shrimps. But then my dad is obsessive about height so you can't really trust what he says. In the Shine a Light movie Mick does a duet with Christina Aguilera who is only about 5-1 or 5-2. She is wearing four inch heels in the clip, and Mick is just a few inches taller than her. Which would put him in at 5-9 or so. However, that's only if he's not wearing lifts in his shoes.
Another testimony to his height comes from a girl I work with. She ran into him at a resort about ten years ago and she said he was very small. She's about 5-4 herself and said he was just a few inches taller than her.
I'd say Mick is probably about 5-7. John says on 25/May/08
he wears enormous lifts, maybe 2 inches and 1/2 on some concerts. Looks like he is 5-9 and tops 6-0 on his lifts. JanisJoplin says on 19/May/08
Well he certainly is a tall man no matter if he is between 5'9-5'11. I think that shorter skinnier guys like Mick and Prince like to date taller women for some weird reason...I mean most of the women that Mick has dated have been taller then he is...if indeed he is 5'9 or shorter... GUK says on 16/May/08
Jagger can look a strong 5ft 11 then barely 5ft 9. I think this is down to how skinny he is, 28 inch waiste is tiny. My estimate is 5ft 9.5 barefoot, up to nearly 6ft in dodgy shoes Maxi says on 26/Mar/08
lol! Jagger got to be kidding to date a 6'4" girl who is almost a foot (-4 inches) taller than him. Anshelm says on 15/Mar/08

Paul McCartney&Mick Jagger came to the meeting place of Reunion Live of Led Zeppelin of December for admiration.
McCartney was about 1 inch taller than Jagger at time when two people lined up.
The height of McCartney becomes 5 feet 11 inches if the height of ,Jagger is 5 feet 10 inches.
On the contrary, the height of ,Jagger becomes 5 feet 9 inches if the height of ,McCartney is 5 feet 10 inches.
McCartney wore flat shoes.
Jagger has many rumors related to shoes, but I do not understand it. thom says on 17/Jan/08
...maybe witnesses ARE always unreliable -- I stood behind Mick as he did a sound check at a 1972 Seattle concert and he was like a jockey, stunningly small. His head was a little above my shoulders and I'm 5'10". Maybe he was in a hole or a lower stair, but it's surprising to hear people credit him with anything above 5'6"...
My hunch is that he's about the same size as Dylan but remember, as Maria sang, "It ain't the meat but the motion." Roger Field says on 2/Jan/08
I met Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones in Munich in 1976 and showed Mick and the others the prototype of my Foldaxe folding electric guitar invention which I designed for Chet Atkins (in Chet's book "Me and My Guitars" on the internet). Mick played it a bit, bent it over his knee and said "Good night!" (as an exclamation). I have photos of him with it. They were all very nice. Mick is the same height as me, about 5'9," or a tiny bit taller. Roger Field Phibes says on 29/Dec/07
It's not so much about the photos for me as they seldom show the full body (head to toe) of a person, the type of footwear, surface etc ,..but more about the countless videos, movies, documentaries of the Stones from the 60s, 70s, ..I've seen over the years show clearly that Jagger in flat shoes has always looked an inch taller than Richards (officially 5'9")- if not wearing his cowboy boots, or Wood - who's always appeared about the same height as Richards (from 70s till now) so I doubt Wood was ever 5'10.5... Watch She's So Cold or Shattered from the 70s when they were still young or countless other Stones viedos on youtube.
As for Jagger's retractable spine:), I don't think he has any, you can buy shoes that look low cut and will give you 2.5 - 3 inches, check this out:
Click Here
Click Here
I hope this helps solve the mystery about Jagger's 6ft in low cut shoes and his everchanging height esp. in recent years.
He indeed could have lost around 2 inches since the 80s, after all he'll be 65 next year. If you watch the beginning of the Stones Rio concert in 2006 (Biggest Bang DVD)just before the start of the show, when the Stones walk across the bridge from their hotel to the stage on the beach, Jagger (who's wearing his thick concert trainers) and Watts are walking next to each other and appear almost the same height, Jagger being only very slightly taller than Watts who was 5'8" when he was young. Jagger still looks a tad taller than Richards&Wood but they both also must have shrunk at least 2in in the last 20years.
So all in all, it is possible that Jagger - withouth any tricks, is indeed around 5'8" nowadays. And with the 'proper' footwear he can easily appear 5'11"-6ft max. Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
Jagger was at least 5'10", maybe even 5'10.5" in his prime. Nowadays, he's probably closer to 5'9". In the '70s he could have appeared much taller because he wore humungous heels onstage. Anonymous says on 21/Nov/07
There is a pic on google image search of Wood and Jagger with Di Caprio, although Di Caprio hasn't got the greatest posture in the pic, Jagger looks the same height, maybe taller. tel says on 29/Oct/07
Phibes says it's impossible that Mick Jagger is 5'8" or 5'9". Er, Elle saw him face to face over the course of a whole evening so I think she should know! Official biographies (and official photographs) always exaggerate the height of the celebrity in question, and it wouldn't surprise me if Jagger wore lifts in his footwear now and again, particularly when his girlfriend is 6'4" and towers over him even in flat shoes.
As maryport said, Jagger is lean to almost an extreme degree, and this together with his good posture (and perhaps shoe lifts) makes him look taller. Ronnie Wood is much closer to the heights of The Small Faces than he is to someone of 5'10" or 5'11". Wood has had a near-emaciated look for all of his adult life, and being so skinny always makes someone look taller.
All of the Rolling Stones are small in height and all have skinny legs, so they tend to look tallish in pictures or on stage. To draw a comparison, Roger Daltrey (5'6") has always been slim and would have looked around the 5'8"/5'9" mark on stage and in pics if Pete Townshend and John Entwistle had been of a similar height, rather than 6 foot. The folks to believe about Jagger's height are the ones who've seen him face to face, and the consensus seems to be around 5'8". Beware of misleading publicity pics! Anthony says on 14/Oct/07
I really do think Mick has a retractable spine. I've seen Mick and the boys in concert twice and have one of them on tape, Mick looks he could be anywhere from 5'10 to 6'. 5'7-5'8 could be with astoudingly bad posture. Remember this guy beat out DiCaprio and was a head taller than Marty Scorsese at the premiere of "The Departed" a year ago. Anthony says on 3/Oct/07
Plant was at least 6'1 when he was younger. Elvis was 6', and Mick Fleetwood was 6'7 in his youth. Only ones I can think of right now. Yeah, they're mostly in that range. miles smiles says on 24/Aug/07
I'm glad you guys agree about Jagger the vertical Zelig. It's gotta be that weird spine-stretching voodoo thing that DMX does too. I've seen a photo of Mick towering over 5-8 lenny Kravitz....and other times he looks about 5-8. Anthony says on 24/Aug/07

My husband and I came almost side by side with Mick Jagger at an Oporto museum in August 2006 and I can garantee that he is a little shorter than my husband that is 1 m 75 cm tall. He is extraordinary skinny, only bones, muscles and skin! This year, at Lisbon concert, I used with magnifiyng lenses and I am sure he used special shoes on stage. It looked like he had springs under his feet and they look to have an extra height not only high heels. I would like to have a pair like that for my fitness sessions. And one more thing all my aquagym teachers are rather short, but when I look up from the pool down, they look rather tall, is the same with musicians on stage Reminidi says on 26/Jun/07
Jagger has been whereing very ugly ortho looking workout shoes for many years now - who only knows what is inside (don't think I'd want to take a close look either, lol) Looked 5-9ish and frail when I saw him up close 10 yers ago. Can look a bunch taller though, must be his skinny arese frame...lol A. Rodney Rodriguez says on 14/May/07
looks in that pic like Mick is closest to the camera (see hows his hand looks outsized), my hump is that his height is exaggarated by an inch or so maybe. saw him up pretty close once and he looked about 5-9 to maybe barely 5-10 but very thin which exaggarates his heighth somewhat me thinks. back to your regular programeing. he once stated he is only 125 pounds P.S. Mick wears really ugly orthopedic looking shoes onstage for the past 10+ years, check em out, they seem to have thick heels. venice beach says on 12/Apr/07
it's possible that leo wears heels Brad says on 6/Apr/07
Mick is 5' 10". Jagger destroying Dicaprio's height is amazing. Mick must be in cowboy boots, he looks well over 6'. Pik says on 29/Mar/07
I've posted this picture before, but somehow it was deleted. How can Wood and Damon both be 5'10 ? Look at this picture !

very odd picture here of Jagger...

Mick Jagger(5'10"), Dicaprio (5'11"ish),and Ron Wood(5'9")
Dicaprio seems his normal height here but Jagger...wow! he must be wearing unbelievable lifts in this photo to appear 6'1" to 6'2" mcfan says on 16/Feb/07
I agree with Phibes about Jagger being taller than Lennon by a slight margin. He was also very slightly taller than McCartney. I have a vivid memory of this. I would think he was 5'10.5 when he was young...maybe close to 5'10 now. Phibes says on 11/Feb/07
No way Jagger's height is 5'8-5'9, that's impossible. He never used to wear high-heeled boots (not even in the 60s), check him out in any of the concerts (e.g. on YouTube) - Hyde park 69, Rock'n'Roll Circus 68 or 81 tour (Let's Spend the Night Together film), Bridges of Babylon, Voodoo Lounge Tour.. always flat shoes/trainers - and he always looked taller than say Richards, Ron Wood (5'9). Watch him standing next to Lennon (5'11) in Rock'nRoll Circus both wore flat shoes and Jagger looked a bit taller. Or check him out wearing white trainers and yellow suit and standing next to Vaclav Havel (5'7) in Prague in 1990. Or next to Freddie Mercury (5'9-5'9 1/2) backstage during Live Aid (both wearing trainers) Jagger looks way taller than both of them. Or performing Miss You with Timberlake who's supposed to be around 6'. People who say he's cca 5'8 probably never saw Jagger. There's no way he's shorter than 5'10-5'11. Elle says on 9/Dec/06
I spent an entire evening in the mid-eighties at a dinner party at Jagger's townhouse in the West Eighties (NYC). He talked to and flirted with me enough to absolutely gauge him at 5'8.5", he was wearing totally flat Capezio jazz shoes (and Nicholson was there and he was a bit taller at 5'9", and I'm 5'11"). Also Jerry Hall was creeping about in her bare feet and she was just an inch shorter than I, making her 5'10". I was there for over six hours so I had plenty of time to compare, and, of course, party! Anonymous says on 11/Oct/06
biography on mick jagger states his height at 5ft9 Anthony says on 27/Sep/06
Mick's leaning forward, and he's not afraid to wear height enhancing shoes. Matt says on 27/Sep/06
The footwear and ground level in this picture is suspect but it appears that Jagger is taller than 5'10'', especially if DiCaprio is 5'11'':

Yep, EJ definitely 5'6" Paul says on 22/Sep/06
Does anyone know how tall Mick's son James is? I'm just interested. Anthony says on 8/Sep/06
"I met jagger and he was no more than 5'9", he isnt a tall guy."
Not a tall guy, but not as small as many people have made him out to be. 5'9-5'10.
And I'm in interested in finding out who this shapeshifter is. ralph says on 8/Sep/06
I met jagger and he was no more than 5'9", he isnt a tall guy. mcfan says on 24/Aug/06
This guy was definitely 5'10.5 if Bowie was 5'10. In "Dancing In The Streets" he was a half-inch taller than Bowie. Daniel says on 24/Aug/06
Well, in the picture recently posted by Anthony we see that Jagger is a bit taller than Ronnie Wood, who, in turn, is not any shorter than Rod Stewart, who is at least 5'10.5'' Daniel says on 23/Aug/06
Yes, if you look at the photograph posted by Anthony you'll notice a difference of 5-6 inches in favor of the girl. But she must have been wearing high heels too, that probabbly added 2-3 inches to the difference. So, the real difference between both of them should be 3-4 inches, that is, Mick Jagger –in his middle 60s- is not shorter than 5-11, unless he's wearing high heels too.

So Eoin, are you just estimating these guys heights or do you actually know. Cos I know for a fact Mick Jagger is not 5"10. Daniel says on 9/Aug/06
Besides, if you look at the picture posted by mcfan on 24/Apr/06 you'll see that Jagger is at least 3 inches taller than Springsteen, who is 5-10. So, I don't understand how everybody seems to have fun puttin' down Mick's height. Of course nowadays Jagger has shrunk a little, maybe even 2 inches, but in his early youth he must have been at least 6ft tall. Daniel says on 8/Aug/06
Well, I have a book about the Stones, with a lot of fotographs of all the members of the band, and in all of them Jagger seems to be at least 6ft tall. There's even a picture of him walking hand in hand with former wife Jerry Hall (who is no less than 5-11) and is clear that he is taller than her (2 or 3 inches), since they both are barefoot and walking relaxed, neither straightin' up nor slouching. Brad says on 2/Aug/06
Met him at a gas station in Greenwich Ct. in '78, he's 5'9" in sneakers. MHouillon says on 14/Jun/06
Mick Jagger is 177cm Orlando says on 26/May/06
I guess he's a 5' 9" at the most. Haven't you noticed he always wears elevated shoes/sneakers? He seems small framed but with his good posture and mercurial leaness he looks taller than he really is. Besides, the man is always jumping and romping, no way of having a good estimate about his actual height... mcfan says on 5/May/06
If McCartney is 5'11 in his prime then I guess Jagger should be put up to 5'11.25. Jagger, Tom Jones, and Eric Clapton were marginally taller than McCartney so something is wrong with Jagger's height at 5'10....or McCartney should be downgraded to 5'10 in his prime and 5'9.5 now. mcfan says on 15/Jan/06
I would place Jagger at 5'10.5 at his peek. He's probably 5'10 at the most now, but he was just a little more than 5'10. Slightly taller than Lennon, McCartney, and Richards. cendrin rovini says on 30/Nov/05
Saw Jagger walking next to Bowie and he was smaller. An interviewer wrote in a book that he was smaller than expected, 170cm. I have no idea, was always looking more like 178cm to me.. mcfan says on 21/Aug/05
Mick Jagger is no way 5'6 or 5'7. He's a half-inch taller than David Bowie and was roughly the same height as Lennon and McCartney. He was 5'10 but I'm sure like all men 62 years old he could have shrunk an inch. CelebHeights Editor says on 21/Aug/05
Some comments from a gossip newsgroup thread on Mick's height:
"I have seen him in person and he is a shrimp. Maybe 5'6 or 5'7 at most, and that is being charitable. He is very short. I'm 5'5 and he wasn't much taller."
"Julianna Margulies rcently stated that she was shocked how tiny he was after working with him on a film. She was somewhat patronizing about it"
"I'm 5'9" and when I *brushed shoulders* (errr.... walked by him at a large party) with him he seemed a good head shorter than I was, though the 5'5 - 5'6" estimate seems on target"
"I'm six feet even, I don't remember Mick's footwear but I was wearing Chuck Taylors which don't add any height. I don't remember Mick being really short but I did look down on him a little heightwise. I'd guess him to be maybe 5'9." Eggplant says on 9/Jul/05
Saw him at Madame Tussaud's, too. Very slightly shorter than me at 5'10. Maybe 5'9-5'9 1/2. |
