I think he was 5'9.5 in his peak and now a bit shorter at 5'9. Have seen him listed at 5'11

Heightdetective says on 27/Apr/08
In my opinion, he never looked taller than max. 177cm in any of his movies, sometimes even a bit shorter.
Is Mr. Gere a lift wearer?

glenn2 says on 11/Mar/08
Why are you still using imperial units. Just switch everything to SI (meters)

bruce_willis says on 29/Jan/08
solid 5'10. I just saw primal fear and he looks about 5'11 in that movie.

5'9" says on 25/Dec/07
Ayman

That just shows how deceiving pics can be. If you claimed 6'1" I would believe you based on that pic.

Im about the same height and can some times look tallish in 2 inch dress shoes.

At our height I find we look fairly average with shoes but barefoot we look start looking really short. Thats why I wish I was a sold 5'11 where even barefoot you dont seem short.

Probably all in my head lol.

Anyway I never thought gere looked over 5'9.

But certainly hes allways been in the 5'8.5- 5'10 range.

In the jackel he seemed pretty short and had on clunkers for shoes.

Regardless of heigh he is a great actor!

glenn says on 7/Nov/07
he slouched.and appeared 5-10,5-10.5.can give the strange illusion of 5-9 alot.even in the same evening.

Anonymous says on 6/Nov/07
Ara....How is he taller than glenn in that photo? Maybe .05 taller if you include the hair. I cant see him higher than 5'9" here assuming he IS slouching. He may have been 5'10 in his youth but no more than 5'9 today imo based on that pic.

Aratirion says on 4/Nov/07
Yep, in that picture he is about 1.5 - 2 inches taller than glenn. 5'10 is quite accurate, i don't think he is smaller ...

Anonymous says on 3/Nov/07
he looks exactly the same height as glenn in the photo which if he wasnt slouching would make him 5'7.25-5'8" MAX (as glen is 5'8 morning and likely 5'7.5" max at night) Lets assume he is slouchimg giving up 1 inch that would make him 5'8.25-5'8.75 MAX.

I believe he was 5"9-5'9.5" in his youth and now about 5'8.5ish.

comments?

glenn says on 21/Oct/07
then he wears lifts.though i couldve sworn,now i finally think of it ,i saw barefoot pics of them at the beach and gere was taller.i could be wrong.

Anonymous says on 20/Oct/07
After her divorce, Cindy Crawford was asked about Gere's height, and she was dismissive of any notion that Gere was taller than her. She said, "Nah, he's about 5'9".

Also, Gere's current wife and former Bond girl, Carey Lowell, is also tall. Gere must like 'em long.

max says on 19/Oct/07
5'9-10

dmeyer says on 19/Oct/07
5'10 solid peak and now 5'9.5 0.5 in loss is very normal in late 50s

Viper says on 19/Oct/07
I think hes always been 5-9.

paul says on 19/Oct/07
Hes not 5'10 but he is slouching a bit there

glenn says on 17/Oct/07
i think in his prime with good posture he reached 5-10.5.he still can actually.unless its lifts.

AshnarLynx says on 16/Oct/07
I don't think he ever was that tall. More like 174/5'8 1/2. Maybe 5'9.

Adam Brennon says on 13/Oct/07
Height-wise, he's one of the most classically average men i've ever laid eyes on.

Daniel says on 12/Oct/07
Franco, you're right, I think the same for Gere. No more than 1.76cm barefoot at his peak

glenn says on 12/Oct/07
that was a long period of 20 years for gere.

OutBenchThis says on 12/Oct/07
Glenn it seems all the actors/celebrities you meet go through a period where they're tosses and then become more open to signing..weird.

glenn says on 12/Oct/07
irshgrl500-he is usually a dick and is very difficult photo to obtain.saw him a month before this and turned me down.still turned me down here until i persisted.he is nicer now.and posing more.would rather sign.there was a time both were scarce.

Valeri says on 11/Oct/07
Well from the angle I'd say 5'9.5 at least. probably 5'10 like Glenn estimated. He was a bit under Clooney,liek half an inch as well.that would make him 5'10

Valeri says on 11/Oct/07
What did he write there? To Glenn for... ? He seems nice from the picture. in harmony with the world,being a buddhist now and all.

Chris says on 10/Oct/07
Is it me, or do Richard Gere, Victor Garber and Richard Noble all look similar?

Lynn says on 10/Oct/07
More then 10 years ago here in Italy, a gossip newspaper reported Gere appeared 178 cm in boots.

Adam Brennon says on 10/Oct/07
I'm 5' 10" and I scarecly feel taller than my 5' 8" sister. In pictures the top of her head is at level with my eyebrows. It's not much of a gap.

derek says on 10/Oct/07
he seems to be leaning in the pic.... glenn what did he look to you here?

glenn says on 10/Oct/07
he is leaning in.seemed 5-10ish.

Viper says on 10/Oct/07
Hard to say here. I guess hes looking 5-9 in this pic. He looks very distinguished with grey hair.

dmeyer says on 10/Oct/07
defenetly 5'10 peak 1 or 2 cm less now

Aratirion says on 10/Oct/07
Looks 5.8,5? No, in the new pic with glenn, Gere is looking 5'10 at least. But, the angle is very weird, so I think just Glenn can tell us the best estimate.

Anonymous says on 10/Oct/07
I totally agree with you, Kevin.

Bad Radio says on 10/Oct/07
looks 5'9

irshgrl500 says on 10/Oct/07
Ok, maybe and just maybe he's 5'9". He looks 5'8.5" in this photo with Glenn. I have always liked Gere but also have heard he's not the nicest guy. Did you get to talk to him much, Glenn? What did you think?

Kevin Durant says on 10/Oct/07
Definitely looks like a legit 5'9" in this new picture. I watch some of his movies and he never give me the impression that he is a 5'10 guy.

Valeri says on 3/Oct/07
He was same or half inch under clooney. either Clooney is 5'10 now or Gere might be 5'10.5 still at 58. A very good pic in fact,where both close and with similar posture.

Marcelo C. says on 1/Oct/07
I watched several films starred by Richar Here, and I´d be disappointed if he were shorter than 5´10. I always had the impression he was nearly 5´11. Evidently, "lifts" are magic...... .

A friend says on 22/Sep/07
Glenn not sure where you get your info. Solved people, he is 5'10 1/2 has been for years! Did he magically lose inches inside? that is plain goofy. I have stood next to him many times and he is more then 2 inches taller then I am!

Daniel says on 17/Sep/07
Glenn saw him look 5'9'' because Gere is 5'9''. Viper is right about the shoes. Those who think the guy is 5'10'' or more, take a look at the difference between Gere and Lou Gossett Jr. in the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman"

Viper says on 12/Sep/07
glenn says on 12/Sep/07
"he looked 5-11 to me 2 weeks ago on the way in to a party.on the way out he strangely looked 5-9.my friends noticed the weird change."

He changed shoes. Only thing I can come up with.

leonari says on 12/Sep/07
Daniel: you have no clue.

leonari says on 12/Sep/07
He is 5'10" to 5'10.5". Just like Clooney. There are very recent pics of them standing face to face and they are exactly the same height. I am pretty sure on Clooney now. 179 cm. Perfect Rob.

glenn says on 12/Sep/07

A friend says on 12/Sep/07
I know Richard and he is taller then what is being stated here. He is 5' 10 1/2". I am 5'7 " and he stood above me by a few inches, but I know for a fact his height is what I stated.

Daniel says on 10/Sep/07
Gere's peak height was 5'9 or 5'9.5'' maximum. He looks that tall in most of his pictures.

TJ says on 1/Aug/07
I saw him walking out of the Leicester Square Empire a few years ago at the conclusion of a film festival. Seemed around 5'10 to me.

Glenn says on 1/Aug/07
He usually looks 5-10.on rare occasion 5-9.once gave me the illusion of 6ft.

sam says on 30/Jul/07
how could he be 5'9, he's got that tall guy slouch thing and still looks taller than average height. somethin's night right, glenn, we need further varification on this one...

bam says on 30/Jul/07
he is 5'10, no shorter. When I saw this picture of him back when he was younger, I pegged him as a 6 footer.

sam says on 17/Jul/07
richard gere does slouch but lets be realistic. he's at least 5'10, he just looks above average height, too tall to be average.

MD says on 16/May/07
He always looked 5'9", to me.

David says on 16/May/07
About 5-8 on a good day,check him against Tom Cruise

glenn says on 29/Apr/07
5-9 is a possibilty.

Viper says on 29/Apr/07
I think hes 5-9.

David says on 28/Apr/07
Did anyone see him on the Daily Show? He didn't look that much taller than Jon Stewart!

RobertJ says on 18/Apr/07
When I saw him in an officer and a gentlemen, I pegged him for a 6 footer. He seems to have really good proportions but I can definitely buy 5'10''.

Ed says on 8/Mar/07
I just watched The Jackal and Gere looked considerably shorter next to Sidney Poitier. Now I was unaware Poitier was so tall, and after looking up his height and seeing 6ft2.5, I have no doubt. Gere at 5ft10 could make sense, since he looked to be about 5 inches shorter than Poitier.

misha says on 6/Mar/07
There is a phenomenon at work here I and quite a few others have pointed out - many big stars who claim one height now clearly reveal a lesser one when their earliest work is viewed. In "An Officer and a Gentleman" Richard Gere looked a solid 5'9" with military footwear but no taller - at least to me. And to me he has simply never looked 5'10" in any of his subsequent films. An in-person close-up sighting would be very desirable here. By the way, guys who really are a legit 5'10" never seem to be the target of "shorter rumors". This is because with a 1.5" footwear boost they are making a decent run at six feet, and certainly that's never going to look short anywhere, least of all on the screen with its unlimited capacity for height-augmenting angles. What I've found in many areas of life is that these rumors that circulate along the grapevine are very often true - certainly they can be very wrong - but much
more often than not, they turn out to be subsequently verifiable. While I'd agree that rumors about height might be suspect, there is a reason that they
got started (i.e., someone saw a star without his lifts and couldn't believe
their eyes - then they told some of their friends - you get the point).

Glenn says on 12/Jan/07
Though,there are shorter rumors,I agree,he can look 5-10.on rare occassion,even more.

irshgrl500 says on 12/Jan/07
I think Richard Gere is 5'10". His wife Carey, a former Bond girl and fashion model, is 5'10". When he appears with Carey at formal events, she seems to be about 2" taller than him. I assume she's wearing about 2" heels for the evening wear occasions.

Mr Mayfair says on 27/Dec/06
I saw Mr Gere on a number of occasions in the nineties (business)and with us both wearing similar style shoes there was little in it height wise, I was 5.11, he 5.10 & 1/2. Cindy less - 5.9/5.10, slighty shorther than him.

Brad says on 8/Dec/06
5' 10" with Cindy, but, what phone books & tricks did they do to get Jennifer Lopez that tall by him?

Glenn says on 26/Sep/06
Alot of 5-8 rumors were going around with him.I couldve sworn he was 6ft once.I think he is a legit 5-10.

MHouillon says on 25/Sep/06
Yeah, 177cm fits him perfect. Just watching "First Knight". I remember him in "internal affairs", and he looked that beside 175-176cm Andy Garcia.

leonari says on 26/Aug/06
wow first time I have to agree with anonymous. unbelievable!

Anonymous says on 25/Aug/06
Richard Gere looks exactly 5'10''. Shorter (even if well proportioned) actors have clearly shorter looking arms and legs. TCruise is well proportioned but you can tell he has short arms, etc. Or even H Bogart. Gere looks a solid, consistent 5'10" in alI his movies.

Mango says on 20/Jul/06
In a 1980s political thiller called POWER, starring Gere, Hackman, and Washington, Gere and Denzel stand toe to toe and are exactly the same height. What's up with that?

kenneth pz says on 20/Apr/06
thats a part while show julia appear barefoot and standing next to gere in pretty women,she perfectly looks no more than 5''7(1.7m~1.71m)..

Frank2 says on 31/Mar/06
Julia is 5'6" and like so many celebs lies about her height. I've stood right next to her when she was in flat shoes and I towered over her. And just look how tall she appears in her films. So you people who still think Marilyn Monroe was half an inch shorter are just dreaming! Try applying some logic here.

Richard Gere is an inch shorter than me so he's 5'10".

Glenn says on 31/Mar/06
Saw her last month.first time since 1997.I was shocked that she looked 5-6.

Frank2 says on 30/Mar/06
Simple. Julia isn't 5'8".

Anonymous says on 29/Mar/06
so how can you have Julia R at 5'8". She's clearly 5'6" next to him. Weird.

Glenn says on 24/Mar/06
In person he can look 5-9.

larry says on 23/Mar/06
Richard Gere has looked 5'10" in everything he's done to my eyes. He doesn't seem to have an ego issue, so I agree with Frank2. 5'10" is on the mark for Mr. Gere.

Claire says on 19/Mar/06
My Dad saw and spoke briefly to Richard Gere in Prague and swears blind he was slightly shorter than him. My Dad is only 5'8.5" so it would seem to indicate that Richard Gere is around 5'8".

Clive says on 7/Mar/06
Indeed Rob 177cm seems to be his real height !
I think that as 177cm=5ft9.75, people prefer rouding off 5'10 !
Many of my friend do this to look taller.

Frank2 says on 2/Mar/06
Richard is five ten. Period! And he rarely if ever wears lifts. There! I said the dreaded word again!

nolifts81 says on 13/Feb/06
Richard Gere is in the 179-180 cm range. Look at the movie Internal affair where he is 1 inch taller than Andy Garcia. Andy Garcia is for Sure around the 5'10" because some years Ago he went in Italy in a television program for promoting a movie that he did with Andie MCDowell. In that occasion he weared very normal dress shoes,no room for accomodate lifts, and he was the same height of the italian Actor Giorgio Borghetti who is 177cm.

Jeff says on 28/Jan/06
After my observartions I am sure that he is just under 5'10". No doubt about that at all. However, good, bad or indifferently, that's clearly just under 5'10" wearing high quality, custom made and somewhat attractive ELEVATOR SHOES.

J.J.F says on 21/Jan/06
Glenn - you really think he's 5'9"?? I suppose he is one of those guys who just looks taller than than he really is... like David "I wish I was 6.2" Schimmer.

Pik says on 16/Jan/06
I checked the picture again. It looks like there really is a slight slope on the ground, putting Armani on highest level. I also think Armani's shoes have a little bigger heel than Gere's. So Armani may get extra 2 to 3 cm in his favour.

Pik says on 16/Jan/06
Something is wrong on that pic with Armani. I'm 5'10" (178 cm) barefoot. When I measured myself, I also made 5'7" (170 cm )mark on the wall.This mark shows, that a top of a person's head who is 170 cm would come to the top of my nose. I hope you understand what I mean. On that picture, where Gere and Armani are, it isn't so. Maybe Armani is 173, 174 cm, I don't know. But if he is 170 cm, Gere is nowhere near 178 cm. Rob what do you think ?

[Editor Rob: yeah, he maybe not quite 178cm. Its unclear if Hutton shrank anymore since her comment though, but armani does claim 170cm, maybe he looks a little under 178 ;)]

Glenn says on 1/Jan/06
he's 5-9.

rut says on 31/Dec/05
I think actually Gere was close to the 179 or 180 cm some sites say he was..

Anonymous says on 16/Nov/05
He's really only 5'10? Wow...my parents are huge fans of his movies and we always thought he was much taller, maybe in the 6'0-6'1 range. I guess that goes to show you that celebs really do look taller on film.

Yes, ladies & gentleman, he IS 5'10". Me and my wife met him at a play in NY. I am 5'11" and he's about an inch shorter than me.

mcfan says on 30/Aug/05
He seems 5'10 or extremely close to it. He was slightly taller than Andy Garcia in Internal Affairs. They appeared roughly the same height but you could tell Gere was taller because slouches all the time. I think the reason many think he is shorter is because he tends to be in shots with tall women that wear heels.

CelebHeights Editor says on 21/Aug/05
From gossip group: "Richard Gere - as I remember - pretty short. Shorter than I'd expected"

in pretty woman when he and julia are barefeet he looks fairly taller maybe 179 in his pride

McFan says on 11/Jul/05
Looks more like 5'9...maybe 5'9.5.

Richard Gere says on 4/Jun/05
Definitely 5 ft 8, 5 ft 9. In ''Shall We Dance'', his height seems close to that of Jennifer Lopez, of course wearing heels, but still... In ''Pretty Woman'', there was a sceen where Julia Roberts got new clothing. With her new heels, she was an inch or two taller than Richard Gere. If Richard Gere is 177 cm, the difference wouldn't be that noticeable.

Orlando says on 4/Mar/05
Have you seen the movie "Shall We Dance"? There's a scene were he stands next to two other guys. He the shortest one. And besides he wears elevator shoes. So maybe he's 5' 9".
