Pesci was 5'4 at best, even back in the days. De Niro was a weak 5'9 peak. they're living legends.

5'9.25 peak

5'7.75 now

Silent d says on 10/Dec/11
5 foot 8 next to 5 foot 6 ben stiller.

Physics Enemy says on 19/Nov/11
I think he was 5' 9" peak, yes. Today he looks 5' 7.5" though. The fact he was 5' 9" peak pretty much proves Stallone wasn't over 5' 7.5" peak, because De Niro was noteably the taller of the two.

JackD says on 15/Nov/11
I worked as an extra for several days on A Bronx Tale in the Fall of 1992. I was in close proximity to Mr. De Niro a number of times and at one point we stood side by side. I'd say he was 5'9 at that point. I don't remember anything about his shoes but nothing about them struck me as having lifts. He wasn't acting in any of the scenes, just directing, so there'd be no reason from an acting standpoint for him to wear lifts.

Silent d says on 9/Nov/11
He is 5 foot 8. Clearly taller than al pacino by a couple of inches. Clearly taller than ben stiller and dustin hoffman. In show time he was shorter than 176cm eddie murphy. He definitive wore lifts in goodfellas to look tall next to 6 foot ray liotta.

LAN Jiao says on 22/Oct/11
5-7.5 frame and 5'7 physical. Max 5'7.5 now. In lift 5'9.5

deano says on 20/Oct/11
rob looked 5ft8-9 in midnight run I dont think he was wearing lifts I think he was minimum 5ft 8. if you guys remember I used to say onscreen guys were 4-10 inches smaller it is actually confusing cause they dont look anything like their height in real life and Im not talking about when their sometimes under their height Im talking in general their body looks different the TV doesent appreciate the height they are in real life for instance if you saw with just yr eyes and not through TV then you'll see they're taller and bigger.

Spence says on 9/Oct/11
If he was only 5'7 how did he look at least 2-3 inches taller than Pacino in the 70s when Pacino was a weak 5'6.

Annettemarie says on 5/Oct/11
I met Robert De Niro around 1978 thereabouts. Warren Beatty gave a party for his film REDS for the staff of Gulf & Western/Paramount in NYC. I was 5'2" wearing not quite 3" heels. I was shocked...De Niro is Short! Very Short. I would say about 5'7" tops. He was wearing a leather jacked that was obviously custom made. I noticed it because is was so short. In perportion to his short statue. He must definitly wears lifts in film. I am surprised that he even got an opportunity to get in films, being so short. There must be a lot of trick photography happening in his films. Sorta like Alan Ladd.

tell-em says on 29/Sep/11
next to 5'9" jason statham, de niro looks under 5'8". not suprised you FANBOYS haven't called i first. de niro was a weak 5'9" peak..

I saw him recently at the met. 5'8 is spot on him. RD slouches heavily and I'm not sure if he was wearing lifts.

Danimal says on 14/Sep/11
Lebesdorf says on 2/Sep/11
I don't think DeNiro was ever over 5'8''. He probably wore lifts in some films. He seems like he would, especially for roles, as he is a true method actor. Christopher Walken, who was an even 6 feet, looked at least four inches taller than him in 'The Deer Hunter,' so did Charles Grodin in 'Midnight Run.'

Walken was at least 6'0.5"-6'1" in his younger days.

lorne says on 12/Sep/11
Was he a lifts wearer? I was watching Casino, and he looked 6 inches taller than pesci.EIther Pesci is 5ft3ish, or De Niro wore lifts.It wouldn't surprise me; he clearly wasn't over 5'9, yet could magically look 176-177cm in close ups.

5ft8.75-5ft9in.

Mr. Kaplan says on 12/Sep/11
He's wearing lifts in Goodfellas.

He's 5'7.5

Adamz says on 17/Aug/11
Mr. R?

Grey Ghost says on 6/Aug/11
In Goodfellas he looks 5'10'' next to Ray Liotta's 5'11.5'' frame, and he is even almost eye to eye with him in a few bar scenes. Yet at the recent Spike TV Man awards they were both on stage side by side and Liotta looked 5 inches taller, and De Niro had shoes on too. It's called LIFTS. He used a lot of them in his older movies. I'd say he is the same height as Mark Wahlberg (5'7.5'' - 5'8'', though due to his lean thin frame (older movies) and lifts he appears taller.

tell-em says on 1/Jul/11
lol. spence. you have no clue how tall cathy is. 5'8.5" minimum? where do you get these silly claims? de niro was 5'9" max peak and possibly shorter. about 5'8.5". look at all the evidence you choose to ignore.

Sam says on 1/Jul/11
Yeah, comparing the younger De Niro to Moriarty, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Charles Grodin, Joe Pesci, Cybill Shepherd, etc. he looks 5'9" on the nose, sometimes more in boots.

Spence says on 30/Jun/11
De Niro looked a solid 5'9 in GF II and looked 5'9 in Raging Bull. He was slightly taller than Cathy Moriarty who was 5'8.5 minimum. I agree with Jake I think he was slightly over 5'9 at peak and is today about 5'8.

Mr. Kaplan says on 29/Jun/11
Statham almost towers over him and he's 5'9" tops. 5'8" is nonsense.

tell-em says on 27/Jun/11
thats insane lol. and pesci 5'7" lol. why would a 5'9" max guy claim 5'11". never looked it.

jake says on 24/Jun/11
I think 5'9.25 peak and 5'8.25 now. He can look a bit shorter with poor posture.

Quan says on 30/May/11
Stephen BW says on 21/May/11
There is so much nonsense on the internet. For example, the above (presumably), statement that lifts made him taller: what is a rumour? - essentially nothing; fundamentally though, if he did wear them they did not make him taller, but they would have made him look taller!; lastly, correct grammar please? (exasperation) - "to make himSELF taller". I do despair for the human race, in some quarters of the globe more than others I might add!

I couldn't stand the irony of THIS paragraph telling someone to correct grammar.

dmeyer says on 22/May/11
he oftenly wears flat footwear and has poor posture so looks 5 ft 7 to 5 ft 7.5 he is still 5 ft 8

Danimal he just made the claim that Cruise does care about his looks...

Mr. Kaplan says on 16/May/11
He was noticeably shorter than five-nine Andy Garcia. Cybill Shepherd did some modeling in her youth and was listed 5'8", 140lbs. She was as tall as, if not taller than De Niro with cowboy boots in "Taxi Driver".

Spence says on 16/May/11
Kaplan you have no clue what your talking about. He was taller than Cathy M in Raging Bull who was 5'8.5 or maybe 5'9. He looked 6 inches taller than Joe Pesci in the movie who was 5'3. No doubt in my mind De Niro was 5'9 at peak

Danimal says on 15/May/11
Aguz says on 7/Apr/11
Bob seemed to be 174 in his peak (177 wearing normal shoes) and 171/2 now barefoot. Come on, the guy is a method actor and doesn't care about his looks like Tom Cruise.

I just saw a photo of DiNiro standing next to Uma Thurman at Cannes 2011.
She is 5'11" he was at least 6" shorter than her, even allowing for high heels.
Busted!

Busted??? A 5'11" woman in high heels can be 6'3"... 6'3" minus 6" is 5'9" which is what your logic states Deniro was at in shoes, which would put him at 5'8" barefoot. How is that busted??? Even if the heels only gave her 3" and put her up to only 6'2", Deniro barefoot would still be 5'7", which is accurate his his height today...

Danimal says on 15/May/11
5'8.5"-5'9" peak Deniro...
He's 5'7" today...

Mr. Kaplan says on 14/May/11
5'7" isn't small enough to be called "midget" by anyone. Unless you think The Bieber is 5'7". Bobby D was 5'8" at most in his prime and is 5'7" today.

toby says on 14/May/11
Yeah I reckon he was 176 at his peak. 5'7 is an absolute joke, if you were 5'7 you'd be noticeably small and no one has ever called deniro a midget or small

Larry says on 12/May/11
He did wear a good amount of lifts back in the day, absolutely no more than 5 9 peak but i think he was more 5 8.5 closer to 5 8

5'9.25 or 176 cm at peak definitively

Spence says on 28/Apr/11
He was 5'9 at peak. He looked 5'9 in Godfather II. He looked the same or a little taller than Cathy Moriarty who was at minimum 5'8.5. I think he was 5'9 even at peak and today may be a little under 5'8.

guyfrommars says on 26/Apr/11
When he visited here in Hungary, he stood next to prime minister Viktor Orban for a photo. The listed height of Orban is ranging between 5'6" to 5'8". I guess he's around 5'7" and not above. He was an inch shorter than De Niro, who wore sandals on the picture next to his casual shoes. I guess De Niro is around 5'8" nowadays.

He was easily 175 at peak..I can't really even buy 174 I honestly think he was 5'9.25..yep Toby has it right

Spence says on 3/Apr/11
Ray Liotta only looks about 3 inches taller in Goodfellas and he is close to 6 maybe 182 which would put De Niro still around 5'9 back in 1988 1989

Toby says on 1/Apr/11
Deniro was never a "short man". He was of average height. I'd say 176 maximum, 174 minimum.

Spence says on 30/Mar/11
Minimum 5'8.5 peak..more likely 5'9 flat

Spence says on 30/Mar/11
Guys he looked just as tall or slightly taller than Cathy Moriarty in Raging Bull who was 5'8.5 min..he was 175 peak just accept it

georgeclooneysmum says on 17/Mar/11
Spence please can you post a photo of your head, you are the only guy I know who believes 6 inches is the distance between your pupil to the top of their head e.g. De Niro vs Pesci. If you want to argue De Niro was 5'9 peak at least upgrade Pesci or post the photograph of your head as it would be very interesting and might explain your strange insistance.

Also do you feel Cybill Shepherd is taller than De Niro in taxi driver, if yes how tall is cybill?

P.S I wish I could spell ankles when in a hurry.

About 30 years when I worked in new york city, my friend and I walked past a film shoot, Robert DeNiro walked right by us in flip flops. He seemed very short, my friend is 5'6", so I would say he was about 5'7" or 8".

Mr. Kaplan says on 26/Feb/11
5'8.5" as of 2011 is absolutely ridiculous. He's a weak 5'7".

Will says on 22/Feb/11
Robert De Niro is more like 5'8 1/2" these days.

Spence says on 10/Feb/11
De Niro clearly looks 6 inches taller than Pesci in Raging Bull..the photo where they both have the fedoras on while telling that gambler "he doesn't go down for nobody". Great photo Derek and yes I think she was 5'9..

Derek d says on 8/Feb/11
Click Here

She is usually listed 5'9 at most places. They're both barefoot. If you ask me De niro looks to be just as tall as her there in his prime. I know he is closer to 5'7.5 - 5'8 nowadays but I believe a 5'8.5 - 5'9 peak was possible.

georgeclooneysmum says on 7/Feb/11
Spence has a weird shape head he keeps going on about de niro having 6 inches on Pesci in raging bull. I have seen that film many times, every time I see it Pesci comes up to de niro eyeline. Now in Holland they measured the height from the centre of pupil of the eye on 6ft guys. it is 4.4 inches on 6ft footers. So if De Niro has a head as big as a 6 foot guy he would at best be 4 1/2 inches taller than Pesci. Taxi Driver also stars Cybill Shepherd listed here at 5'8. Strangely in the long shots De Niro is at best as tall as Cybill and his angles are higher than De Niro's. Go figure. Cybill either got to go up in height or De Niro down.

In a recent picture with Matt Damon (5'10) he looked 2.5 inches shorter at least so my guess is that 5'8 would be his morning height barefoot

I'm kind of surprised to hear that his height is often stated as only 5'8-5'9, I always thought he looked well above average height. My guess would've been 5'11 in his early days, but I guess he did use lifts in some of his movies.

Lets get this out of the way:

De Niro peak: 5'9.25 175 Now: 5'7.5 171 cm

Looks six inches taller than Pesci in Raging Bull who was maybe 5'3.5 back then. Never more than that more likely 5'3. Looks only a few inches shorter than James Woods in Once Upon a Time in America who was 5'11 to 5'11.5 at peak. De Niro began losing height in the 90s. He still looks 5'9 in Goodfellas and Casino though.

Walken peak: 6'0.5 184 cm now 5'11.75 183

Sam says on 7/Jan/11
I did not detect lifts on De Niro in Cop Land and there's a lot more evidence of Stallone as a lift-wearer than De Niro. I would believe a 5'9" peak for Bobby. However, compared to just about 10 years ago, De Niro's height has seemed to drop considerably. When contrasted to the height advantage he once had over Dustin Hoffman (Wag the Dog era), Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents era) and Harvey Keitel (from back in the '70s), he now looks much closer in height to all of these guys. I don't know how much his bad posture contributes but De Niro may have already shrunk more than an inch.

Most men by Deniro's age (around 70) have lost on AVERAGE 1.25" of height since their prime.. Deniro was maybe 5'9" (at the most) in his younger days. I believe he was closer to 5'8"-5'8.5" at his peak. Today looks to have lost height and is struggling with a flat 5'7" and at time looks to be as low as 5'6.5".

5'8 may be 5'8 1/2 in Raging Bull, Taxi driver, deer hunter and Mean Streets unless Walken lied about his height and is close to 6'2 rather than 6. Oh if Walken was close to 6'2 then roger Moore 6'3. Cybril Shepherd is list here at 5'8, looked it with jeff bridges. Cybrill was in flats in taxi driver, De niro was in lifts they were the same size. De Niro without lifts was just maybe closer to 5'9 than 5'8. Fast forward to copland and de niro only just looks the same height as sly in obvious lifts. Sly is at least an inch taller.
