6ft1 or 2 was my original guess, I'd say more 6ft0.5. Anonymous says on 20/Aug/08
I never saw Letterman listed at 6'4", as far as I know he is about 6'2". As for Ricky Martin, he _is_ at least 6'. In that same interview with Letterman he said that when he was about 14 he looked like a 10 year-old, or something like that... did anyone watch that interview? I think Ricky Martin was a late bloomer.

First off Letterman is 6'4", so, in that case he is at least 6'! Anonymous says on 15/Aug/08
Nonsense, he is actually slightly over 6'. I remember once watching Ricky Martin commenting the beggining of his career on Letterman, he said that when he was young people didn't make much of him because he was too short, Dave was really surprised at that and said "too short?!". So I assume he is probably not noticeably shorter than Letterman who is 6'2". Brad says on 6/Jul/08
Wears big heels. 6' is about right. Why he isn't a movie star is beyond me. Poor management. Big down time between any projects. Not enough touring. His fans hate that. Anonymous says on 1/Jul/08
Stefano , thats not an interview ,thats not coming out of rickys mouth ,is just a website with info that someone put in there.
Anonymous ,i didnt see the picture , but you have to take into consideration rickys heels , hes allways wearing big heels , if he is 6.2 is not necessary to be wearing big boots all the time you seem to ignore the photos down here where hes sporting more than normal heels.
Plus there is one interesting pic when he is near bush and he did not tower bush nor looked significally taller than him just answer that cuz i dont get it. Anonymous says on 24/Jun/08
Hey Manolo if you say that Juan Luis Guerra is 2 meters(6'7") than Ricky Martin has to be like 6'2". And I am not saying it beacuse I am defending him, its beacuse I already saw the pic in there isnt 8 inches of diference between ricky and juan luis guerra its more 6 or 5 inches. But you cant really tell because how the pic was taken, and its hard to tell. Manolo says on 10/Jun/08
Ricky is definitely 5 ft11in that means 180cm..look at that photo:Juan Luis Guerra is 2 metres tall and Juanes is 1.73 so Ricky is definitely 1.80 plus he always wears heels that's why people think he is taller than that but it's not! Stefano says on 26/May/08
In a inteview he said i'm 186 cm or 6.1 Hugh says on 8/May/08
He's over 6ft. Anonymous says on 29/Apr/08

Hey rob check this one:

Will Smith is leaning, but still is taller than Ricky , i wonder what kind of boots ricky has since his pant covers his heels ,looks like boot are they ?
Also ,where the 5.11 1/2 came from? I remember he was listed at 6 ft and all of a sudden you changed it to 1.82 ,have you based on his strange footwear to do that? Andrew says on 12/Feb/08
As I'm reading the comments it's almost clear that most people who met Ricky IN PERSON says he is about 5,9 - 5,10 ( only one person said sth different ). So I think that could be his true height ( maybe all of them are one jealous **** who want to disgrace mr. Martin :) but I don't think so ). But the most interestin thing in this topic is how skillful and tricky he is - he looks really tall in every picture he appears. Maybe he's got great boots - if woman can look tall in high heels , man can also. Celeb official heights are often false - for example I'm from Poland and our prime minister Donald Tusk
seems to be tall guy ( in a press conferences, meetings ) and he is listed on the sites 5,11. But when he came to our city we were surprised he wasn't that tall - he was 5,7 - 5,8 ! Very interesting idea of this site Glenn and Rob:) Keep up on this work ! Anonymous says on 1/Feb/08
Why don't people realize that the debate should come to an end when there are people who have met Ricky IN PERSON? It doesn't matter how tall he can look, and much less on T.V., the "IN PERSON" fact is what counts ( to have seen him in concert doesn't count, because you have to stand on the same ground to judge someone). There are some people who look taller than they really are, and that is Ricky's case. I don't know if people lie here, but I'm 6' and I met him in person, and he was shorter than me. Having said that, there should only be one thing left to say: either I AM A LIAR or he is SHORTER THAN 6'. Personally, therefore, I think that Stacy lies. I would add that I happen to like Ricky Martin, and that I don't gain any money by saying he is shorter than he really is.
Glenn, what looks to you like a "relaxed posture" in the Metallica photo, looks to me like the typical tense posture of someone in high heels; in other words, he looks like he could fall if he doesn't pay attention or stops resting on James Hetfield's shoulders (I'm exaggerating so that you understands what his posture suggests me...) Regarding Bush’s photo…am I the only one who notices that Bush is much more bended to one side than Ricky? But anyway, photos could always fool, so all this opinions on photos are secondary. I insists then: I was once standing next to him, I’m 6’, and sorry guys I didn’t measure him, but what I know is that even if he weren’t wearing high heels then, his height wasn’t enough to reach me if he had added high heels in that very moment. So I would say he is in the lines of 5’ 9’’…but he is FOR SURE shorter than me (6’), and shorter than 5'11,5''(a guy like that would look almost as tall as me). glenn says on 28/Jan/08
ricky was 6-2 when i saw him.but in boots.those pics are bad to judge with.sorry.he looks at least 6ft in the metallica pic.his posture is relaxed.and similar in the bush pic.all that said,i think he admitted once he was 5-11. Anonymous says on 27/Jan/08
OK guys ,i want to clear up this thing of martins height.For those who think he is taller than the height listed here , here is the photo:
Click Here Ricky martin and President Bush
If Ricky is taller than the height listed here , he would have towered over bush who is 5.11. That wasnt the case.
Oh and for people who repeately claim that ricky is 6.1 here is the other photo :
Click Here Ricky martin with Metallicas James Hetfield
Hetfield is 6.1 so no way ricky martin is the same height.
Of course he can look very tall sometimes but please check his shoes because he wear some huge heels almost everytime.
And finally , Leonary , stop attacking Dcs ,sure , may be ricky wont be as short as 5.9 but I think he has a valid point which is ricky being sorter than the height listed everywhere leonari says on 23/Jan/08
DCS: I fyou truly think Ricky Martin is 5'9" tha you are either 6'5 and /or can't gauge height for ****!
5'9" for Ricky martin..thats new one. Incredible. Dcs says on 22/Jan/08
I shook hands with him London's Virgin Megastore in 1999 when he became number one in the U.K with Livin' la vida loca: THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN BE 182 cm, as I'm 185 and he was WAY shorter than me! I would say 175, more or less. Days before I met him, I heard a female journalist on Capital Radio saying that she felt deceived to find out he was so short when she met him but she was pleased with his English. Days after hearing that, I had the opportunity tho check that in person, so no one can tell me he is 182 whatsoever (but shortness is not an illness, by the way) carlo says on 22/Jan/08

I'm watching italian television;ramazzotti(180) is near italian showman pippo baudo(185 at his peak) and ricky martin.baudo is taller than ramazzotti;martin is taller than baudo.There are little differences.If Baudo lost some inches and if ramazzotti isn't 180,martin is 182.But if baudo today is 185 and ramazzotti is 180,martin is 186.
----------------------------------------------------------------
luca,i'm watching in italian tv "telegatti oscar" and baudo is near bova(181);they are at the same height.I think that Baudo was 1,85 at his peak,now is 1,81.But if Martin was taller than baudo,he can't be only 1,82,but 1,85. Robbie H says on 9/Jan/08
he was slightly shorter than jonathon ross who is around 6'1.5/2 glenn says on 5/Jan/08

funny thing ,ricky martin is listed on the movies site at 5.9 1/2 LOL!! NoUser says on 31/Oct/07
Eros Ramazzotti is very lucky to be even 5'9. There's a photo of him and Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli (I'm not bothering with tinyurl, please use Google). And if Ramazzoti is 5'11 Bocelli is 6'5. Although I believe Ramazzotti and Martin are far from the same height, Martin at 182cm is completely out. Height Detective says on 25/Oct/07

I just saw Ricky Martin in concern and he looks tall. I would say he is at least 6'1. By the way, he give a GREAT show. faranak says on 28/Jul/07

I'm what I am says on 6/Jul/07
I used to read he's 6'4! faranak says on 19/Jun/07
franco i think you can just laugh at yourself .you khnow why? because you're envious to another person who is so famous.ofcourse every body knows this.
[Editor Rob: Franco grew 2 (or maybe 3, he wrote 185cm/6-2) inches from 2006 to 2007. At least that's what he said. ] Stacy says on 18/Jun/07
I met Ricky in 1989 when we were both 17. I was 5'10'' then. He was several inches taller than me. I would guess he was 6'1'' at that time. And he was barefooted. Josh says on 12/Jun/07
Wow hes one of those that can look 6'1 but after seeing those pics specially that one Dave posted yeah hes barely over 5'11 , 5'11.5 (182cm) seems to be right. Darrel says on 10/Jun/07
I have met him in person, I am 5'9" he is shorter than I, and better looking than me as well Dave says on 22/Apr/07
per this photo on his myspace page - not that tall

This guy can look 6-1 with the right angles. 6'2.5'' JK says on 3/Mar/07
All along i knew this guy wasn't 6'0'', 5'11.5' is more accurate leonari says on 3/Mar/07
I think he is 184 to 185 minimum. looks big. tall features. !82 is too low. no less than 6 feet thats for sure Height Detective says on 24/Feb/07
when he was near bush performing , he didnt tower over him , as one could have spected from someone who is 6.1 near a 5.11 man.They looked like the same height, ricky being slighty taller. Snapper G says on 20/Feb/07
Remember him always being billed as 6-2 but I also remember from the first time I saw him thinking somethin seemed a little off about his height, as in artificial inflationary lift measures, aka dodgey feet parafinalia. Anonymous says on 13/Feb/07
I disagree with you, cause i remember him, next to Bill clinton at white house and he was 1 or 2 cms. shorter than him, what reflects he is around 185. Height Detective says on 12/Feb/07
i kow it , but i posted it anyways , even in that photo you can see he is not 6.1 . MD says on 10/Feb/07
That's a horrible picture to judge any kind of height off of. Not only does the ground level come into play, but their not standing up straight. Height Detective says on 9/Feb/07
taking a second look at the picture may be the ground level played a role there , but impressive tough. Height Detective says on 9/Feb/07
check this photo of ricky with brazilian host Luciano Huck , they are on the beach getting out of the water without shoes , Luciano Huck offical height is 1.73 cm ,near 5.8 and Ricky Martin looks very close in height , may be some sort of camera angles ,but he looks really , i mean really close to Lucianos height , remeber he is on the beach without shoes or elevators.

this guy is tricky... He sure does look tall(184-185cm), nevertheless I´ve paid attention to some clips of interviews (talkshows and any sort of public appereance) and he ALWAYS has heeled shoes.... Anni says on 16/Jan/07
He is taller!!!! I remember I saw him somewhere near to Elle McPherson - she was in very big heels (she herself is like 183 cm)and.... they were of the same height!!!! Really!!! I was also surprised! It was Miss Universe I guess, but not thi year. Anonymous says on 15/Jan/07
I always though he was about 183-4cm, probably about 185 when he wakes up in the morning. Oh by the way how much does people loose height during the day Rob, and those everybody loose height or just certain people? I hope you can answer my question, beacuse I notice my self more taller when I wake up than when I go to sleep.
[Editor Rob: the taller you are, you could shrink more. But, anybody claiming they don't shrink at all...has a spinal column of an alien nature] Viper652 says on 2/Oct/06
I originally thought this guy was 6-1 back in the day. Glenn says on 2/Oct/06
Seemed a shocking 6-2 when I met him.but I think he had heels on. TheMan says on 2/Aug/06
Trust me guys he is not even 6,0 more like 180cm just about 5,11 maybe. All ive got to say is what i saw on johnathon ross what i stated earlier. Anonymous says on 22/Jun/06
interestingly he mentioned on the interview his height was 1.81,1.82 but miscalculated it into imperial saying, which is like 6"1/6"2! Anonymous says on 16/Jun/06
