Jeez this guy has a massive head. Looks a strong 6'1" to me.

Tall Guy says on 6/Feb/10

I was 6'4" barefoot when I was 18, now, at 35 I am 6'2 3/4"

No WAY would you lose over an inch before 35. Maybe you were 6'2 3/4 in reality all along..
Tall Guy says on 6/Feb/10
Native Americans often have long torsos but not so long legs.

Those of us with long torsos stand to lose more height with time then those with long legs.

I was 6'4" barefoot when I was 18, now, at 35 I am 6'2 3/4"

Elvis says on 15/Dec/09
I hired Landham for a celebrity event in the 80s...I am 6' 2" and he was taller than me by 1-1.5 inches...so I would give him 6'3" in his prime

looks to be about my height...this is how I look with someone who is 5'8" and I am a weak 6 foot..
Hugh 191cm says on 14/Jul/09
Hmmm. Somewhere between 185cm -188cm now and at peak between 188cm-190cm.
Gary says on 7/Jul/09
Looks around 6-1 with shoes I'm 6-3 1/2 and my mom is 5-8 and comes to my upper lip in height, thats why I think that
Hugh 190cm says on 21/Jun/09
6ft0.75 now.
Lenad says on 20/Jun/09
i can buy 183cm at the lowest
Anonymous says on 15/Jun/09
I don't find it hard to believe him claiming to be a 6'3''-6'3.5'' 192.5(cm) if he stands with a full stretch (feet together) but he's most likely 6'2''-6'2.5'' standing at his very straightess. at his most relaxed posture it could be 6'.5''-6'1'' like he looks to be in the above picture. He looks relaxed with his posture but maybe not very relaxed.

My dad in his early 60's is overweight and is a weak 5'10'' but fully stretched, chest out, feet together in stocking feet can shortly gain 2 inches of height no bs. Muscular and Obese who have bigger/wider chests and trapizius muscles are able to do this for some reason.
Lenad says on 11/Jun/09
strong 6ft0 183-184cm
Ace says on 8/Jun/09
Although it's hard to overlook some of the comments he has made in the last few years!
-Editor Rob

His calling for the genocide of arabs, and referring to them as ragheads certainly comes to mind. Also, the threatening calls he made to his ex-wife also serve to further emphasize your point.
Lenad says on 4/Jun/09
Theres someone here is saying that he looks a strong 5ft11 here which is just ridiculos. Sure 6ft4 is too high for his peak but 6'0 max? WTF?!!
aarod says on 3/Jun/09
Rob, i think it is time you posteda picture of you measuring your height in bare feet, a high res full frame picture,

[Editor Rob: I've posted these in the past.]
Lenad says on 3/Jun/09
Looks a strong 6ft0 here most liekly. Can't be more than 6ft1 today
Hugh 190cm says on 2/Jun/09
6ft2.5 is more accurate for his peak. Good Job!
tubbs says on 2/Jun/09
I was sad enough to watch an episode of the fall guy, and Sonny was in it. The difference in height between himself and Majors was the same you can see between him and Rob. I think Majors was wearing cowboy boots too, so unless Majors was 5'9", I think Sonny was atleast 6'3" at his peak height.

[Editor Rob: I just checked out lockup, and I think I could give him another cm for peak. I don't know if he's lost a full 2 inches...]
derek d says on 1/Jun/09
I don't get why him claiming 6'4 is ridiculous.... Okay, nowadays he's closer to 6'1, but thats now, how about in his prime?! Its called height loss people. Watch Locked up with Sly or any of his movies from the 80's... He looks like a strong 6'3 - 6'4 guy.
tubbs says on 1/Jun/09
What was he like Rob? I listened to some of that interview and he seemed an ok guy, i've heard stories of how he was highly strung in Predator, and security was hired for the safety of the other actors......

[Editor Rob: well, I heard him talking to a bunch of people at his auto table and he seemed more friendly than I would have imagined.

Although it's hard to overlook some of the comments he has made in the last few years!]
Sam says on 1/Jun/09
Also, I believe his character in 48 Hrs. is described as 6'4". I'd buy a weak 6'3" for peak height, since he appears taller than Schwarzenegger and holds his own with Jesse Ventura and Bill Duke.
Lenad says on 1/Jun/09
I see 6'2 max in his prime. That 6ft4 is a joke
Vibram says on 1/Jun/09
He's def. lost quite a bit. I just watched some scenes on my predator dvd and he was 1.5 - 2" taller than Arnold, who we have at 6ft1 range prime. 6ft3 is right for Sonny in prime.
Does anybody think when keanu reeves gets fat and old he'll look like this?
rob89 says on 31/May/09
Doesn't even look 6' here to me, more like a strong 5'11. Him claiming 6'4 is nothing less than ridiculous.
Tony says on 30/May/09
wow this was the Indian dude in predator, I buy 6'3 as peak height hes gained alot of unhealthy weight since then and for sure can wear down your cartlidge in your joints making you shrink.

Rob was this guy as fat as he looks in this picture in person ?

[Editor Rob: he's bulkier than he was in his prime yeah. Not huge though.]
Anonymous says on 29/May/09
looks 5,11.5 there, tops 6
Lenad says on 29/May/09
That 6ft4 is a joke
tubbs says on 29/May/09
Just discovered that Sonny is 68 years old, so the loss of 2 inches is a distinct possibility.
tubbs says on 29/May/09
to be honest, he looked atleast 6'3" in Predator in what was a ensemble of actors who were all tall guys......he also did a movie with Stallone, and he towered over him by about 6 inches.....this guy must have lost a lot of height.
cevat says on 29/May/09
He is short
RisingForce says on 29/May/09
No Ali, Van Damme is 5'9". Shorter than he claims but not as short as downgraders like you would claim.
Alex says on 28/May/09
This guy really doesn't look more than 6'0 1/2 in the picture above. He's crazy claiming 6'4.
Ali says on 28/May/09
Risingforce van Damme is not 5'9
and you know it. He is shorter.

Holy... This is the guy from the
first predator movie. I did not recognize
him.

Yes he is tall. Looks 6foot and maybe
a bit more.
Tony says on 28/May/09
was he that Indian dude in predator cause that guy was fricken huge
Hugh 190cm says on 28/May/09
6ft1-6ft1.5 now and 6ft2.25 peak.
RisingForce says on 28/May/09
He estimated Van Damme at 5'10", 5'11"?! Van Damme is only 5'9".
tubbs says on 28/May/09
In the interview he also describes Arnold as 6'2"......interesting.
ER. says on 28/May/09
Looked 6-2 1/4 - 6-3 in his prime.
GeorgeStrombo says on 28/May/09
6'4" claims are just ridiculous. 6'2.5" tops.

I have seen Predator several times and the scene where Arnold and Sonny stand side by side (head-to-toe shot on a level ground) and Arnold was exactly as tall as Sonny. Maybe 0.5 inches shorter at best. Arnold was 6'1.5" back in the 80s so Sonny might be 6'2.5" at best, but no taller.
Vibram says on 28/May/09
He doesn't look recognizable today from his role in Predator (1987) does he? I think he was 46 in 1987. He was near the same as Arnie in that movie, perhaps shading him by 1-2cm.
thekiddd says on 28/May/09
I didn't Notice him at first in this pic lol. But in 48 hours, the cop described him as 6'4". He's more like 6'3" or 6'2 1/2" at his peak Rob.
Mathew says on 27/May/09
Did this guy seriously ever think he was 6'4"? He looks about 6'0" here.
Anonymous says on 27/May/09
he is about 6'1, maybe 6'2 peak
Alex says on 27/May/09
Unless he is not standing straight I'd go with 6'0. He looks the same amount taller next to Rob as I did with Rob.
Anonymous says on 27/May/09
I'm pretty sure he was always listed as 6'3" so 6'2ish prime sounds about right. Did u guys know he used to be an adult film star too?
derek d says on 27/May/09
His estimates weren't all that accurate to be honest, unless their listings are wrong here and he's right. But I know Jean Claude is no way near the 5'10 - 5'11 Sonny mentioned him as.
The Guy says on 26/May/09
wow, what a big head!
ZAQ says on 26/May/09
he looks to have 4 inches on you id say 6'0
shemp says on 26/May/09
Here is an audio interview he did recently. Click Here

In it he claims his own height as 6'4, plus he talks about the heights of all the other actors who acted with him in Predator.

[Editor Rob: I'll add that quote to the top of page. He could have lost 2 inches in height...]
Coldstone says on 26/May/09
His peak height was more like 6'2 1/2" If you ask me.
Anonymous says on 26/May/09 says on 26/May/09
I thought that he was 6,3.
derek d says on 26/May/09
Always thought he was closer to 6'3 in his prime... Wow is he slouching there Rob or did he really loose a lot of height?

[Editor Rob: I don't think he's losing much tbh, 6ft 1 at most I thought.]
Marty says on 26/May/09
He can even look like a weak 6'1" nowadays.
Heard a lot of weird reports about this guy over the years, seems like a weird character.
Gago says on 26/May/09
Rob,would you recognize him, if you didn't know it's him? Looks like maintained his height and posture for someone in his 60's.

[Editor Rob: I think so, predator's a great movie.]
J.J. says on 26/May/09
Big forehead 6'0.75" is more like it.
