Bones can grow thicker, though, and non-long bones can grow in all directions; that's why people with acromegaly (excess growth hormone) end up with these weird Neanderthal features. I also read an article about a study which found that facial bones grow into adulthood, specifically the forehead and jaw, whose prominence makes a person look older.

Ed Kline says on 25/Jul/08
Daniel not one thing you said was correct. not one. Once the growth plates close, its over, and most people who hit puberty early ( like age 10-12) growth plates also close earlier, because the chemical markers that instruct them to close come earlier as well.

Lego says on 22/Jul/08
i'd say 174-175cm no less.

Daniel says on 16/Jul/08
The bones given external stimulus or physiological need can grow till 40 year old so it's definitely possible to grow at 26. This though doesn't mean late puberty. If by puberty we mean the development of secondary sexual characteristics it is supposed to occur at 12-13 and the rare cases in which it hasn't occurred yet at 15-16 are considered medical problems that affect the organs before affecting the growth. So just because a person keeps growing or keeps looking very young it doesn't mean that puberty was delayed. A puberty delay that would cause it to occurr at 25 is unheard of and would be a medical weirdness. Actually most of those who keep growing well beyond their 20 or that keep looking 15 at 30 were early bloomers getting the first puberty signs around 10.

i don't know...In my causin vinney he was bending way down to hug/talk to joe pesci who's around 5'5. Might have to disagree with you there rob. I say he's around 5'10

Anonymous says on 19/Jun/08
He looked kind of lanky on that episode of Entourage he was in. I would have guessed 5'10 minimum.

5ft 9in GUY says on 9/Jun/08
i think 5ft 8in is right coz, Mr Myagi(Japanese dude in karate kid) is 5ft 3in, and he looked about 5in taller, and sometimes he looked even shorter

glenn says on 6/Jun/08
rob-you sure he is this low? i hear 5-10.sometimes 5-9.i also thought 5-8.i never saw him.did a play here too.

Davey says on 5/Jun/08
I thought this guy would have atleast hit 5`10.

angie says on 3/May/08
how tall is c. thomas howell? i tried to find him here but I just can't.

Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
In the movie My Cousin Vinny, Macchio is much taller than 5'4.5" Joe Pesci. I'd say anywhere from 5'9" to 5'10".

Nik says on 20/Sep/07
I think he's 5-7. I don't think he can even be that tall. He looks like a small guy from what I've seen of him.

HeyNow says on 26/Aug/07
In Beer League there's a scene in jail with artie lange and macchio standing next to each other, and a full frame shot (including their feet) is shown and they appear to be the same height. Even though he claims to be 6'0" in the movie, Artie has said on the howard stern show that he is 5'10".

mama says on 6/Jul/07
i happen to know him and hes a great guy.. so he looks young and hes only 5 10 he still looks the same and hes still really funny..

KingNick says on 11/May/07
I don't think its so much that he grew taller by the time he made My Cousin Vinny it's just that he finally filled out. He was skin and bones in the first Karate Kid but if you watch each sequel if he filled out a little more and a little more. By the time he hit My Cousin Vinny I think the guy finally lost that great metabolism.

Chip says on 10/Apr/07
Even if Ralph hasn't grown since the Karate Kid, he definitely hit puberty late. He looked and sounded about 13 or 14 in the Karate Kid, and he was really about 23 or 24.

Anonymous says on 13/Feb/07
It's funny. Ralph looked like he had a growth spurt. He looked much older and his voice change especially from Karate Kid and My Cousin Vinny. And this was from the age of 20-30.

Snakeman says on 2/Nov/06
I think he looks same as in KK in Vinny

Danimal says on 30/Oct/06
Robert Deniro is also said to have been 5'10" as well (not anylonger obviously). The thing with Ralph, is that he REALLY didn't look like he hit his maturity until well into his late 20's, or I could be wrong about that. He DID appear taller in Karate Kid III than he did in part I and that's comparing a 23 year old to a 27 year old and then look at him in 1992 at 31 in My Cousin Vinny.

sam says on 29/Oct/06
bob deniro's 5'9 so this guy must have grown. But he's twenty four there. What?!!

Danimal says on 27/Oct/06
Ronnie James Dio is in his mid 60's and looks great. As for Ralph's height, I give him 5'9"-5'10". That was what he was always listed at in the late 80's (definitely after he stopped growing).

Jason says on 27/Oct/06
I met Bret Hart when he was 44 and he more or less looked the same as ever.

Viper652 says on 27/Oct/06
The reason why Larry can look older is because when he gets real skinny his face looks gaunt. I just saw recent pics of him at a book signing and he looks extremely young there.

Jason says on 26/Oct/06
Larry Mullen can look very young for 44, but you can still tell he's an older guy.

Glenn says on 25/Oct/06
Johnny Depp and hopefully me!

Viper652 says on 25/Oct/06
U2's Larry Mullen Junior is 44 and looks 18. He looks a good deal younger now then he did at some points in the 80s. Hopefully Im going down that path. I just turned 26 and I look 16-17 still. I wish I looked older though most of the time

Jason says on 25/Oct/06
They're the exceptions and you can imagine all the work they've had done. The vast majority of people don't. Ralph Macchio must be almost 45 now.

leonari says on 24/Oct/06
Tom Cruise looks almost the same as in his 20 ies...plenty of guys do. Ralph Macchio was a good looking adolescant but once he matured became quite an ugly guy...

D. Ray Morton says on 24/Oct/06
" Who looks the same in their 40s as they did in their 20s?"

Brad Pitt? Dick Clark? Gary Coleman?

TJ says on 24/Oct/06
Like a monster? lol. Geez, the guys just not in his early 20s anymore. Who looks the same in their 40s as they did in their 20s?

Anonymous says on 7/Aug/06
sorry, the movie Macchio is in is My Uncle Vinny. He looks like the exact height of Kevin Spacey, who is apparently 5 ft 9.5 in.

I kind of agree with Azarea because I watched My Cousin Vinny and Macchio clearly looks taller and older.

Terrence says on 13/Apr/06
In that picture he looks 5'6

Glenn says on 29/Mar/06
Never met Macchio,and he did a play here 3 years ago.you hear 5-8,5-9.

Azarea says on 28/Mar/06
I think that he is above this height, I dont doubt all of the proof, but i think he has a different growth type,I think he is the exact same as Leonardo dicaprio(Both look young for their age and didnt show signs of real adulthood until far into their mid to late 20s),Look at the pic with deniro,he looks 17 not 24, just like dicaprio looks 13 in the picture with glenn when he was really 19,I'd bet that macchio grew in his twenties,thats why he looks taller than 5'7,he's probably 5'9-5'11 in my opinion,So rob if u only put him at this height because of the deniro pic,look for some recent pics and upgrade him man.

[Editor Rob: yes, could be something to that...he can look taller I agree.]

trueheight says on 16/Mar/06
i think Burt just gets listed as short cuz he shares the same body type w/ shortish types like danny devito and bob hoskins. Macchio certainly is young looking. He did appear quite on the shortish side when next to Kevin Dillon on one of the episodes of Entourage

trueheight says on 27/Jan/06
i can't believe he is shorter than burt young in that pic. This kid towered over mr. miyagi, but he was very very slight

Sal says on 12/Nov/05
either dinero is taller than 5'8.5" or Macchio is shorter than 5'8.5"... only other thing that could cause that kind of height discrepency would be shoe's...

Wake up says on 19/Jun/05
He's certainly 5'7''. look at his movies and at age 24 you can't grow up an inch anymore
