I always thought King was about 5'11" or whatever judging by his movie cameos and his appearances at Fenway park (although he's sitting). Then I heard he was 6'6"! WOW. He must have a short torso and long legs because sitting at Fenway he never looks 6 feet 6-and-a-half inches tall.

Like everyone else is saying, it's hard to tell how tall he actually is because of his slouch, but at least 6'2". I actually heard that he was about his adult height yet very skinny around age 12. So, he kind of grew like Will Smith. yoh says on 12/Oct/09
nowadays king more like 6ft2.5 and 230pounds Bill says on 25/Sep/09
Heard Steve described as looking like Paul Bunyan (ya--that TALL with a massive beard). Doug says on 6/Apr/09
Definately not anywhere like 6'4" now. He had 2-3 inches on a guy who is listed at 6'. He looks between 6'2" and 6'3" definately no more than 6'3". Doug says on 6/Apr/09
Always listed at 6'4". Wonder what it is with best selling authors and giganticism! Fredie says on 11/Feb/09
I also was very surprized when I found out how tall he was , I used to figure the guy was more like 6'. Seen him once, it was up in Maine and I was on a bus trip, we were in between Rockland and some other small town and while the bus was nearing a cross road he road by on a bicycle past the window I was looking out off, he had a beard sunglasses and ball cap on.

Probably more 6'4 at peak 6'3 ATLEAST at peak. The dude says on 12/Jan/09
No way. Either King has shrunk or he was never 6'4". Look at him with Mike Fleiss (Heidi's cousin) who's a legit 6'4" : Click Here Fleiss appears to have about 2 inches on him. Maybe it's old age or whatever, but King is NOT 6'4" anymore. 5'8" and 15 says on 3/Jan/09
i was shocked to find out he was this tall :P Danimal says on 30/Dec/08
NO WAY is he 6'3" today. He had MAJOR reconstructive surgery on almost ALL of his bones after his major car accident. He had SERIOUS spinal, neck, hip, ankle, knee surgery. He was ONCE 6'4". Today he is lucky if he is 6'1". Anything since the late 90's, he is a shadow of what he once was. He is a RAKE today and his upper body is SO much shorter than it once was. Very noticeable when he is sitting in a chair. They must have removed quite a bit of vertebrae. He was once 6'4". Today he is 6'1" if he is lucky. Sami says on 29/Dec/08
Kind of like Conan O'Brien, I was shocked to hear he was this tall! Anonymous KinG says on 25/Mar/08
king is huge.. i ever saw him in real once in my life.. he looks about an inch over many 6ft2.5 celeb i have seen like ashton kutcher, tom welling and hugh jackman.. 191 sounds correct.. Kablah says on 17/Feb/08
You can tell Stephen King is sloutching...he may be between 6ft 3 and 4 and therefore just says he's 6ft 3...Either way, he is a HORROR GENIUS!!!!!!!! anonymous says on 17/Jan/08
he looks about 6`2. I suppose he is hunching a bit, but still looks only 6`3 at absolute best Scott B. says on 9/Jan/08
I agree with Glen. He looks 6'3 to me. sam says on 14/Nov/07
Stephen King says "I can't help being 6'3"" in the 11/16 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Anonymous says on 30/Oct/07
That is some serious slouching, I think he is at least 6'3.
He was propably taller in his younger days. Chemer says on 15/Sep/07
he looks just exactly 6'2.5 considering he is slouching and wearing converse T says on 6/Sep/07
I'm six 6'5" and I've stood next to him. I'd put him at 6'4" easy. He slouches A LOT. Smok says on 8/Aug/07
On the picture above he looks 6'2 at best, taking into account the way he stands. Danimal says on 20/Jun/07
King WAS obviously 6'4". He lost some serious height after his car accident. This is King next to a LEGIT 6'4" guy in 2005: Click Here snrub says on 7/May/07
He does'nt look 6' 3" in that photo, but he's much more heavily built than I thought. Probably makes him seem taller Moke says on 13/Feb/07
No! he doesn't stand full height! I'd say he's 191cm Regus says on 5/Aug/06
My uncle went to college w/ King, was in a couple classes w/ him. 6-4 or so is right on the money, trust me. Anonymous says on 15/Jul/06
King is not an actor so his physical appearance isn't so important. He'd have nothing to gain by exaggerating his height. He doesn't look quite 6'4'' today going by that Conan clip though. Still quite a tall guy 6'2'' or little over I guess. Danimal says on 15/Jul/06
Dude, the man is just about 60 years old. He had a MAJOR car accident and I'm sure lost height as a result and is severely slouching that clip with Conan and Conan has stated that he is between 6'4" and 6'5". Bring on a younger and healthier King and he'll be that 6'4" he always claimed to be. BTW, he lost 100 pounds after his accident!!! beaner says on 29/Jun/06
He is obviously not 6-4 in this clip with Conan O'brien. Check it out. Looks 6-2ish at the most. Click Here TNTinCA says on 17/Jun/06
Being older, and the fact that he had to recover from that horrible car accident, likely affected King's height. Every source I have ever found seems to indicate he was 6'4" at his peak. Anonymous says on 26/Apr/06
On The Biography Channel, they said Steven was 6ft at age 11! So 6ft 3 or 4 would be right as an adult. Anonymous says on 7/Feb/06
I'm taking my Stephen King books back to the bookshop today for a refund. There's no way I'd have bought them if I knew he was only 6'2''. 6' and 18 says on 6/Feb/06
There's one thing about this site, the people who post generally tend to underestimate/try to reduce someone's real height. Look at the pic; his shoes, the way he stands, of course he's min 6' 3" and pushing 6' 4" most likely. wrestling says on 4/Feb/06
I SAy Hes About 187-189cm Range .. 6'4" IS Just Too Tall For Him ... + Conan Has Him By An Inch Or 2 And Conan Is Solid 6'4" MAybe Even 6'3" Soo ... Anonymous says on 3/Feb/06
Maybe the accident has affected his posture making him look slightly shorter. Superfuzz says on 3/Feb/06
I agreee with Anshelm. I saw that show and I'd say Stephen was an inch or and inch and a half shorter than Conan. He did look like he could've stood straighter though, ahaha says on 2/Feb/06
well glen is wearing boots that look like they have a decent size heel and stephen has on converse so yea 6'4" or 6'5"
Anshelm says on 2/Feb/06
No way he was Conan O'Brien's height, more like 6'2"/188 cm. Unless his posture is REALLY bad. No idea what he was in his youth.
Yea, I guess he looks about that much in that photo too. Anonymous says on 1/Feb/06
King is indeed all of that 6'4". My cousin went to a book signing a couple years ago in Vegas and he is my height (5'11") and he said King had at least 4 inches on him in the minimum. Mikex says on 1/Feb/06
Gordon Brown is no way 6'2''. 5'11'' I reckon.
[Editor Rob: SundayMail called brown 6ft, but I think he looks a little shy of blair] Zach says on 31/Jan/06
In a recent BBC 5 Live (a UK radio station) 'quiz' about celebrities heights, King was said to be 6'5. Others I remember are Keegan at 5'7 and that channel four show presenter red head guy whats his name cant remember but he was said to be 6'2 as was Gordon Brown.
Dunno where they got their info from though.
[Editor Rob: wasn't me for sure! Gordon Brown looks lil shorter than blair, unless another gordon?] Anonymous says on 31/Jan/06
really? i think he looks at least 6'3 in this picture...notice his knee is bent too which probably is affecting his full height a bit too Mike says on 31/Jan/06
Only looks about 6-2 in that photo... Mikex says on 31/Jan/06
King has always been quoted at 6'3'' or 6'4'' and he does look it. Danimal says on 30/Jan/06
The man is tall and his son is even TALLER. I am a huge Stephen King fan. He is awfully thin today. He never really recovered after getting hit by a truck. He lost a hundred pounds and never really gained it back. The man was 6'4". He's creeping up on 60 years old. He is maybe 6'3" today. Jon Smith says on 30/Jan/06
when he does cameos in movies he looks much smaller like the 5'11-6' region im really surprised he is this tall. |
