avi says on 29/Jan/12
looking over pics of him he seems a weak 5'7
the dude says on 25/Jan/12
Is about 5'8-5'9" without shoes. Good posture and chunky footwear can make him look as tall as 5'11". I have not met him myself, but a friend of mine (5'11" w/o shoes) was an extra on Milk and said that he walked right by him and took a double take when he noticed that Penn was a good 3 inches or so shorter then him. Granted my friend is 24 years old and Penn was pushing 50 at this point. 5'9" and some change is the tallest Penn has ever been. Doesn't really matter how tall he is though, he's a solid actor.

I saw Sean Penn with Eddie Veddar at the Triple Door in Seattle. Tim Robbins was performing with a band, man...was he bad. Sean Penn look like he was 5'9"-10", but he was wearing boots with, at least, two inch heels. He went outside a lot to smoke with Eddie. Eddie Veddar looked like he was 5'6" to 5'7". Tim Robbins is a jerk.

Wow, Really, several years ago I was on a movie site with him, I,m 5'10 and he was 3.5-4 inches shorter than me!
Silent d says on 10/Dec/11
In friends he was slightly taller than lisa kudrow who is 5 foot 8. He was probably wearing lifts. 5 foot 8. He always looked that height. Shorter than charlie sheen. He ruined his life with smoking heavily and drinking but he is a damm great actor. His face is really scary and defined.

Can you believe another site we wont mention the name of has him at 5-9.5!
Mr. R says on 19/Oct/11
One article years ago said Sean Penn was 5-6.
avi says on 17/Oct/11
i doubt he is taller than you Rob....looks more than inch shorter than 5'9ish Gary Oldman...so maybe delves into the 5'7 range at night.
Rich Hall says on 22/Sep/11
Sean is 5'5.5".
Here barefoot on deck a private yacht next to 5'9.5" sports illustrated beauty Jessica White. Whatever his height, the guy is a freakin genius. He dates more models than an NYPD smurf stuffs donuts!!! Click Here

What do you figure Rob? Factoring in the pics angle and both postures, Jessica Rabbit totally looks a head of lettuce taller than Sean, right?

C'mon braaa, time to amend your estimate. I know you're burning to do it!!! lol
Shaun says on 6/Sep/11
To be fair he regularly looks 5'82 to 5'9" range. I did have my doubts but 5'8" ish is about right. He's at the height where on screen he looks a regular sized height, not short, unless stood next to somebody like Tim Robbins.
Brad says on 30/Aug/11
Missed him by 25 minutes a few days ago outside my bank. He was a weak 5' 8" so I was told, chain smokes, looked like he could take on 3 and win in a fight.
mat says on 27/Aug/11
unbelievable, I always thought sean penn as 5'9.5''...
joe.s says on 8/Aug/11
saw sean penn with boots on in nyc during lunch hour he was standing incognito with sunglasses on corner of 58 st madison upper east side this was in summer of 2008 i was parked outside he was no more than 6 feet away from me i was suprised how short and scrawny and wrinkly he looked we made eye contact he knew that i had recognized who he was. like i said he was 6 ft away smoking a cigarette, he was no more than 5'8" tall
Cheryl says on 4/Jun/11
I'm looking at the current pic of Scarlett and Sean together. She has on 3 inch heels easy and he's still a good 4 inches taller than she is. She says she's 5'3". She's got to be about 5' tall if he's 5'7".
Gus says on 25/May/11
I think Penn is 5'8.25 as well,watched Carlitos way,5'5.75 Pacino in platforms was the same height as Penn barefoot.
LAVON says on 24/May/11
@dsnsa, Hello Australia!!! How do y'all feel about tall-ish (5'7) American women???

Looked an inch or so shorter than 5'8 Ray Walston in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. 5'7 for Penn seems right.
Bengall T says on 29/Apr/11
I have met Sean in LA last year, and he was a couple of inch shorter than me, that makes him 5'7.
linke says on 11/Apr/11
that quarter inch needs to go
Llama says on 6/Apr/11
More like 5'6", 5'7" at absolute tops. He looks small even by himself (short legs), but I'm watching At Close Range and Christopher Walken just towers over him. It looks like a full head difference (both in workboots, both with equally big hair). The real kicker, his pelvis is a good 5" closer to the ground.
Splitting Hairs says on 13/Mar/11
Penn is about 5'8", but camera angles and foot wear can make him one of those guys who's height is hard to peg down.

Next to 5'9" Michael Douglas and 6' Adrien Brody, he could have passed for 5'10-11" tall, he must be wearing Stallone shoes.
Tommy lee says on 11/Mar/11
i never thought of sean penn as a short guy, i would have given him a 5'11 or at least a solid 5'10. 5'8 is kinda suprising to me
atomic shithead says on 6/Mar/11
i know somebody who's met him that says he's my height exactly, and im 5'9 an a half
Mr. Kaplan says on 3/Feb/11
5'8"? You've got to be kidding. Look at his body proportions.

I have to say that this website has to, needs to downgrade many celebrities, Sean Penn included! I have met him! He is absolutely not even 5'8, as I am 5'7.5 and was taller than him!
Shawn says on 15/Dec/10
jtm, I have Cruise anywhere between 5'7"-5'8", no lower than a flat 5'7". Unlike you, I don't pinpoint celebs down to an exact measurement, I accept variation. And before you try arguing Rob pinpoints celeb's heights, his figures are estimations as well. He has openly stated that he accepts the possibility for variation on all the heights he lists.
walker says on 11/Dec/10
5 foot 7 1/2 towers bono
Mr. R says on 2/Dec/10
During Awards season, I get to go free screenings, and sometimes meet the celebs. I just found out that there is a screening this Sunday in Hwood of a new movie with Javier Bardem called Biutiful. Javire will be there, but the q and a will be moderated by none other than SEAN PENN! Sadly, I have to be somewhere else that day, and don't think I can make it. If I have any shot, I will let ya'll know.
