sandals with lifts more likely Glenn. lol glenn says on 12/May/08
what the fuk ? looks 6-1 due to camera angles? not the case at all.
glenn says on 12/May/08
anonymous-how is that absurd?.i saw the guy over a 18 year period and you wanna challenge that over someone who saw him once or twice.thats absurd.he is cleary 5-10.75 in victory next 6-2 michael caine in soccer shoes. glenn says on 12/May/08
davey-have you considered me seeing him for 18 years in all kinds of footwear? and that pic on top right im on my tiptoes and he is in sandals?. glenn says on 12/May/08

Brad Pitt has looked too short in too many photos to be a legit 5-11 barefoot, in my opinion. Anonymous says on 12/May/08
Ok realistically most likely around 5'9. Nolifts81 makes the most sense here. Hes met Stallone and his estimates dont border on the delusional. 5'7 is too low and 5'10.75 is just plain absurd. somewhere in between 5'8.5 to 5'9.5 add 3 inch shoes he hits 6ft mark. impeccable posture gets him up another inch or so especially with other sinking 60 year olds arnold bruce etc and only in a few dodgy pics he looks 6.1 due camera angles. in most he's around 5'11 with 3inch big shoes. Chris says on 12/May/08
-Lynn, Thoose shoes makes him 2.5 inch taller. And he is not more than max 1.5 inch shorter than his wife because of the angel. I don´t know how tall his wife is, but if she is 5'9'' and she has 2,5 inch heel on that pic, she is close to 6 feet. Sly looks 5'11'', but that is just a guess. glenn says on 12/May/08
ive seen the man enough to judge that.i saw him in dress shoes look 6ft.so he is 5-10ish. Nolifts81 says on 12/May/08
ACG- Are you kidding? I don't know exactly how tall is Brad Pitt(I think no less than 6ft)but he has for sure 2 to 3 inches over Sly. The body structure is different. Stallone has never been 5'10.75. Maybe he has been that height in his dreams.He is(and was) 5'9.5(176cm) at max. Do you remember the movie "Get Carter"? In that movie, maybe is the only one, Sly had on normal dress shoes with 1.5(4 cm)of exterior heel. Mickey Rourke(5'11" barefeet)with regular shoes was 1.5 to 2 inches taller than Sly. You still think Sly is 5'10.75? He is not only 0.25 inch shorter than Rourke. He is almost 2 inches shorter than Rourke. glenn says on 12/May/08
i think pitt and sly could both the same height.whatever that is.5-10.75 is close enough. joeman says on 11/May/08
when Sly was on Conan O he looked at least 5'10 I thought he looked more like almost 5'11. when he shook Conans hand he was not that short compared to 6'4 Conan , no way 5'8, he just does not look that small and in the picture above he has at least two and a half inches on Glenn. Leung says on 11/May/08
Viper, for me it’s 5’10” for Stallone and 5’11” for Pitt. ACG says on 11/May/08
Lynn says on 9/May/08
Pitt and Sly are not the same height.
That's right, because there's a good chance Sly could be taller than Pitt. Pitt could be as low as a flat 5'10 and Sly might still be the 5'10.75 he was years ago. sf says on 11/May/08

Zach thats an unbelievable pic you posted below. I used to think he was 5'10 cos like parker mentioned thats what he looked in escape to victory. but my god the guys wearing big heels whilst playing soccer. they must be giving him 2-3 extra inches at least making him 5'7-8
That logic would work if the tallest he ever looked was 5'9-5'10. Sly has looked like a legit 6'1-6'2 guy many times especially in recent years. There was a picture where he was a little taller than 6'1 tom Arnold. He has also looked only a few inches shorter than Hulk Hogan and Dolph Lundgren. Not to mention he has looked taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger in a few recent pictures and he often looks taller than Bruce Willis.
Show me a 5'7-5'8 guy who can ever look over 6'1. Lynn says on 11/May/08

even considering he costar is 6 ft 4 he looks about 5 ft 10 to 5 ft 11 with atleast 3 in over barefoot height i think he is more 5 ft 8.5 to 5 ft 9 sly peak was 5 ft 9.25 now 5 ft8.5 sly could be 174 today bam says on 11/May/08

it is impressive how mush lifts and heels together can give a bi boost ,for example a friend of mine who is 6 ft 0.25 about 1 in taller tan me when we both wear normal shpes i an abot 6 ft to 6 ft 0.25 and he is 6 ft 1.25 ,yesturday he was wearing 1 in dress shoes so he was 6 t 1.25 in and i was wearing cowboy boots with 1.75 in heels plus 1.25 in lifts so about 3 in hells wish give about 2.5 o 2.75 in ovr barefeet height and i was looking 1.5 to 2 in taller than him just about a 6 ft 2 in person and he told me that i looked exacty the same height as his cosn who is a mesured 6 ft 1.75 barefeet so tecnily i had 1.75 in advantage footwear but i looked 2.5 in aller than regular i was looking 6 ft 1.5 to 6 ft 1.75 person so ,sly must be 5 ft 9 but ca look about with enourmous lifts glenn says on 10/May/08
a legit 5-11 guy never perieved a short? ha.thats a laugh.try colin farrell,ewan mcgregor.etc. glenn says on 10/May/08
john-you never saw the guy in person.plenty of my 5-10 or 5-11 freinds are called short and look shorter in person due to posture,weight,build,and even the way they let their hips relax.i never knew about the hips.i love sf,but he is cleary having a bad day.5-8 is way wrong,but understandable.5-7 like frank2s claim is bonkers. THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 10/May/08
The lowest I have ever put Sly was at 5'8.5. I do believe he is 5'9. My cousin's best friend was a stuntman in the movie Rambo and he says he thought sly was 5'9-5'10. I am sure Sly had some type of lift in those boots so I will say 5'9. I don't believe the 5'10.75. 5'8.5-5'9.5 is a smallish dude for an action star, but he has looked great doing it. Glenn, were you referring to me as the guy you had a problem with two years ago that still carries a torch for you? Anonymous says on 10/May/08

rob-i have 2 more zach posts.did they vanish? when you take time off,some posts dont show. john says on 10/May/08
Sorry Glen but there is no way sly is 5 10.75.Its impossible because the public would never have the perception of a 5 11 guy being short. A legit 5 11 guy or close to it can be classified as pretty tall.Trust me most guys lie about height and are really in the 5 '7 - 5 '10 range. As for as my opionion sly is alittle under 5 9. All proof leads to around this area besides Glen's observations. Anonymous says on 10/May/08

Also, there's a case that the 'looking short' evidence has more credability than the 'looking tall' evidence because you can't be shorter than your actual height
Sure you can. The other guy Sly could be posing with could be wearing lifts. Sly didn't invent lifts and he isn't the only one who wears them. I'd guess a ton of celebrities under 6 feet wear them. Nolifts81 says on 10/May/08
In the pics with McTavish sly had on elevator shoes that increased his height by about 4" inches or 3.75 inchs. Ugly shoes. However those pics show(to me) that Sly is in the 5'9" range barefeet, probably only a hair taller than that(176cm). Parker says on 10/May/08
sf - Your on the wrong page. Your comment needs to go on the Tom Cruise page LOL sf says on 9/May/08
5'8"... Chris says on 9/May/08
Yes Sly can look 6 feet somtimes, but he can also look 5'9''. He is 5'9'' and no more, Brad Pitt is 2 inches taller. derek d says on 9/May/08
Graham McTavish is 6'3 ish in dress shoes.... He's 6'2 barefoot so do the math. Sly is looking no less than 6 ft in those photos at the top but noticeably shorter maybe at around 5'11 in the bottom pictures, and that is because he's wearing different shoes. Gazinder says on 9/May/08
LOL, I just checked the pics with Graham McTavish. The guy dwarfs Sly and Sly's footwear is a joke, his shoes are huge and you can tell there are lifts in there. Even then he looks under 6'. I think I agree with Rob in that Sly is 5' 9", I've changed my mind on Sly now. bam says on 9/May/08
the idea of any of my 5'8 friends towering at 6'2 is VERY difficult to imagine. Or 5'9 for that matter. Even 5'10 is kinda pushing it. Lynn says on 9/May/08
Pitt and Sly are not the same height. miko says on 9/May/08
I would guess 5"9.5 myself, then with his lifts can reach a little over 6"0. With good posture and camera angles he can then look around 6"1.
I think 5"10 is possible out of bed, but any lower than 5"9 is highly unlikely - but not impossible. glenn says on 9/May/08
What amazes me about zachs feeble imagination is that he would think I wouldnt react.or is it a ploy to get me stirred up?.he has caused trouble here before with Leonari.for a alleged medical student I wouldnt have thought he would hurdle such a infantile post at me with no basis on real fact and I exposed him as resentful and or insecure.plenty of folk here state 5-8 or disagree about Stallone,and they dont get booted.its the wiseasses that do.that was stated 2 years ago,yet Zach,my first enemy on the site seems to still hold a torch for me in some way.Leonari warned me of him 2 years ago and he was right.if I get angry at a insulting comment or get passionate about a height when I have more concrete evidence on the site than anyone a 1000 times over,then Im immature.but its ok to make false accusations about me and post at me in a disrespectful tone.fukin balls of people. glenn says on 9/May/08
what a joke of a post that was.frank2 also claimed colin farrell was 5-8.and became insulting towards me when i stated otherwise.he was also made fun of on the site for downgrading alot of celebs by 2 inches and im gonna hear crap about that loser? ok.i always gave him his due.always.his stories and history were to behold.but his gauging sucked.he then began to take the common route of calling me 5-6.isnt it interesting that zach is the only one that had a blind eye to that? im never wrong when it comes to music and rarely wrong on gauging height.stallone was or still is 5-10.75.you dont have to accept it.or get the boot.fuk with me,and you will.disagree with me is fine.i said that huindreds of times,yet zach missed that point and seemed singled out and embarrased by a innocent comment i made.now everyone,get this-this is muthafukin embarrasing,zach is defending a 5-7 claim from frank2!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahhalolololol.who is looking wrong here.you posters be the judge. glenn says on 9/May/08
zach-im not interested.i lost respect for you again.that was a cheap insecure shot at me that was totally off guard,made no sense,and shows you still resent me in some way.you know thats not true at all.or if you believe that,your are delusional.those that were given the boot were argumentive and disrespectful.i said nothing negative about you now,yet you somehow come out the woodwork to stir things up with a sly "with all due respect".well no respect here.if you think stallone is shorter than 5-9 then you cant tell height.no biggie.most people cant.anyone here also find that post from zach was off,or if you think he is right,by all means speak up.that was ridiculous coming from the first person who ever had an attitude and fought with me on the site.your ass is still here.that proves your theory wrong.im not interested in chinwag from you zach.lets keep it at that.one thing is for sure,ill never,ever have respect for you again.are you ****ing kidding me about frank2? he insulted me first. Viper says on 9/May/08
That Graham Mctavish looks very tall for 6-2. Leung, but you also have people here that think Sly is close to 5-11 as well. You could certaintly argue that 5-10 is as low as you can go for Sly. Yes, I do think Sly and Brad are the same height. Hell, has Brad Pitt ever looked the height that Sly has next to Hogan and Dolph Lundgren? Leung says on 9/May/08
You guys are probably unaware that in your comparison you are taking the tallest possible scenario for Stallone and comparing it to the lowest possible scenario for Pitt.
Pitt and Stallone are NOT the same height. Kevin Durant says on 9/May/08
Here is Sylvester Stallone with 6'2" Graham McTavish while promoting the movie Rambo in DVD. He does look like in the 6'0- 6'1" range while wearing his Elevator Shoes.

As a matter of fact I think Brad Pitt and Sly are the EXACT same height. 5-10 1/4. Yeah, funny how one of them is perceived as tall and the other short. That doesnt make sense. Viper says on 9/May/08
I dont think Stallone is 5-10 3/4 though. He might be as high as 5-10 1/4 barefoot. Jordan says on 8/May/08
I honestly never thought of Stallone under 5'9. I always saw him as the average height. I dont think Stallone is shorter than 5'9 or taller than 5'11. runt says on 8/May/08
hey ACG, don't forget Andre Agassi. 5-10.75 but labeled as "short".
I think Sly gets stereotyped short because of his proportions. Zach says on 8/May/08
With all due respect Glenn I may be the only 'hold over' left here who argues in the 5'8-9 range as the other regular posters all appear to have been systematically banned at your request. Going back even further, Frank who also submitted pictures, helped this website and gave a very revealing account on this forum of working personally in the industry with Sly and seeing him barefeet left on his own volition after feeling repeatedly insulted. I'm not saying who was right or wrong, just that there are less 'regular' posters for this range due to circumstance rather than fact.
Nonetheless there appear to be some new posters here and I will give an account of why many, including his own siblings and every single person who has seen him barefeet, have said he is 5'9 or under when I have a bit of time, bit down under at the moment with impending exams.
Parker Click Here what was that about safety and insurance you said Rob? :)
[Editor Rob: I mentioned a year ago how he was climbing the shower pipes and playing soccer in those big heels.] RisingForceYJM says on 8/May/08
Well if they add 3 inches then 5-10.75 plus 3 equals 6-1.75 but when you factor in the inch a normal shoe has then Stallone would be struggling to look 6-1 even with big shoes at close to 5-11 barefoot. Sly has looked 6'1-6'2 many times so nothing under 5-10 makes any sense to me. Gazinder says on 8/May/08
I think I understand why Rob leaves Sly at 5' 9". There's a lot of photos and whatnot wear Sly does look short. Like with Mr T, he's 5' 10" yet Sly looks 1" shorter in the behind the scenes vids etc. Also, there's a case that the 'looking short' evidence has more credability than the 'looking tall' evidence because you can't be shorter than your actual height whereas looking tall can always be put down to huge lifts. And Sly DOES wear ridiculous shoes as we know and have seen, so it makes it very dodgy. His proportion is weird as well, really long arms and legs, his legs are so thin as well yet his upper body is stacked. Sorry Rob for any bad comments I said towards you.
[Editor Rob: remember I'm a big fan of loads of the actors on this site, and I am only interested in giving my own take on their height, trying to be as accurate and giving people little tidbits of information about how I see height differences.

[Editor Rob: of course there is.] RisingForceYJM says on 8/May/08
If Stallone can look 6'2 then he must be 5'10.5 or 5'10.75 like he says. Think about it. He would need to have lifts of atleast 4.25 inches to look 6'2 even at 5'10.75. He'd have to be 6'3 in shoes to look like a legit 6'2 guy and you need some massive lifts to do that even at 5'10.75. Show me one documented 5'9 guy who has ever looked 6'2? I doubt anyone can...much less a 5'7 or 5'8 guy. ACG says on 8/May/08
I think Stallone may be the tallest celeb ever to be labeled as "short" by the general public.
At 5'10.75 he may very well be taller than Brad Pitt, and Pitt is known for being a tall guy.
So why is it that Stallone is stereotyped at 5'8 and Pitt at 6'1?
Your guess is as good as mine.... glenn says on 8/May/08
of course people ignore that here parker.the times have changed though.all the long time posters believe he is 5-9 to 5-10.75.including once 5-8 believer real anonymous.the only hold over is zach.newer people here still cry 5-8. Parker says on 8/May/08

I'm a fan of sly more than 20 years. For me he is short. But it doesn't change anything for me. A great guy, and a great hero. I saw this video in youtube the title who wants to see is "very rare!

5'7????? OK so I guess he had 4 inch lifts in sandals on that picture on that right.
He has appeared TALLER than 6'1 Tom Arnold and both had good posture. He would need 7 inches lifts then. 5'7 is just flat out crazy. Anonymous says on 7/May/08
Stallone is a legit 5'7. He's been wearing 3-4 inch elevator shoes and lifts throughout his career which made him appear to be around 5'10 glenn says on 7/May/08

Hey , havent been on this site in a while and i thought this height would be changed , Sly due for an upgrade , remember Robert Downey jr and Tom Cruise wear sometimes chunky shoes and Tom never looks over 5-11 and Rob Downey never looks over 6-ft but Sly can look 6-2 that makes me think hes 2 inches taller than Robert Downey Jr so 5-10 possibly over cause Robert Downey jr could be 5ft8.5 and Tom Cruise could be a weak 5-8 my belief anyway . So Sly i believe is 5ft10.5 in prime and 5ft10 now remember Rocky Balboa when he was wearing low cut sneaker ( converse ) next to 6ft2 Antonio Tarver , plus the top right picture of this page where Sly wearing Sandals , yes sandals top right pic of this page look guys :) Parker says on 6/May/08
There was a rerun of 'Escape to Victory' in the UK yesterday. These are my observations on Sly.

Sly´s posture makes him look taller than what he really is. We don´t know Tom Arnold´s posture in that pic but it is a fact that Stallone can look 6'1'' but I guess that last inch is an illusion because of his great posture. dmeyer says on 6/May/08
sly look the same height asarnie then arnie stand well and looks 3 to 3.25 in taller sly is max 5 ft 9 also lookat pis were the feet can be seen of course if arnie is sloushing and sly has he best footwear and sly is closer to the camera they will ok close in height ,i see pics ere willis is totaly sloushing and has mocasin with no heels and sly has monsters and they look the same hat mean will is easy 2 in taller ,with sly posture at 5 ft 11 i can look as tall as a 6 ft 2 friend without eleators RisingForceYJM says on 6/May/08
Stanley I am convinced he is 5'10.5 or 5'10.75 like he says. The reason is he looked half an inch taller than Tom Arnold who is listed here at 6'1 and he claims 6'2.
Now do the math. Lets say Tom Arnold is 6'1 and he he wears normal shoes. That puts him around 6'2. For Stallone to look even as tall at 5'10.5 or 5'10.75 he'd have to be 6'2 in his lifts making his lifts add about 3 or 3.5 inches. Nevermind the fact he looked atleast half an inch taller making his lifts add more like 4 inches which seems like the most his lifts could possibly add.
A man under 5'10.5 really can't be 6'2.5 in lifts at any time. 5'10.5 minimum and possibly 5'10.75 barefoot for Sly's morning height. It seems obvious to me at this point.
Sly can look his stated 5'10.5 or 5'10.75 at times or a bit less but I doubt he wears lifts every single time he goes out and other stars wear lifts aswell. glenn says on 6/May/08

And here is a rare barefoot picture I haven't seen before, looks like a 5'9 - 5'10.5 man to me. Leung says on 5/May/08
Interesting in the Playboy interview is that Sly mentions his reach is 73” (185cm), that’s a good reach for a 5’10” guy because a reach of 178-181cm would be more common for a guy his height.
Stallone’s 73” reach is a significant reason why he can convincingly pull of the 6’-6’1” look. derek d says on 5/May/08
Whats with that picture... Aren't those two guys like 6-4 and 6-7? Why the hell do they look so big there... And wouldn't Sly usually look only around 4 inches under the 6-4 one? I mean assuming he wouldn't go to a basketball game without lifts that is. gton says on 5/May/08

At this point I think Sly has always been 5-10. Hasnt shrunk or gained any height. And then can look 6-1 or even taller than that in lifts, like with Hulk Hogan.
True. I disagree with a lot of Viper’s height estimates but this post about Stallone is completely accurate. Zach says on 4/May/08
Sometimes even humongous footwear and sticking the chest out is no use... Click Here Jordan says on 4/May/08
OK now about a month ago in was in LA with my cuz and stallone was walking out of a dinner and was taller than this paparazzi who had stood next to me at one point and was in my height range of 5'10. Yes Stallone could be earing lifts but i really dont know. I should have thought to try and walk up to him but I had my head up my ass. dits says on 3/May/08

wow,bruce willis in slippers.stallone's clearly looking taller,even though there's an angle.and he's the only one with weird looking,thick shoes.arnold is in thin chuck taylors.
i wonder if he really is 5'9.i mean,it isnt such a bad height where you need to constantly wear lifts! i'm 5'10 and i dont have so much of a problem where i need to look taller constantly,but then again,im not stallone either.hmm. Fighter says on 3/May/08
I really think Sly has had 'something' done to his height since 1976 - whether that is nutritional, exercise or something else. However, he still looks short in some pics, such as the second one in this link - Click Here sexyman says on 3/May/08
i think sly was 5'9 peak but i also think he has had a limb lengthening operation done recently plus lifts Davey says on 3/May/08
hes 5`9.Its always 5`9 guys who ae paranoid about thee height most in my opinion because they are slap bang in the middle not tall but not short.Its annoying Albi says on 2/May/08
Just finished watching Driven. He looked 5'9. Certainly not 5'10. He also looked quite short compared to the others in the cast. There were many picked actors to make him look 'above average', but the guys in the background that didn't interact with him looked like they were averaging 6'2. Sorry Glenn to contradict you, this is the celebrity you have insisted the most in changing Rob's estimate. glenn says on 2/May/08
now your talking viper. Viper says on 1/May/08

he does.but you would have to photo shop that.he is 5-11 incedently and also slightly on his tips.an old friend of mine.another gauge to stallones height. Lynn says on 1/May/08
Nolifts81,
As I already said,I believe you. So without further evidence I think Stallone is in the range 175 cm ( as stated by Rob ) to 176 cm ( as you say).
With this height it is possible to reach 6'1". So he can look a 6' man in lifts.
Is interesting your estimation of Eros Ramazotti. He is listed 180 cm but you saw him at about your height and furthemore you had the impression he had small lifts. Very interesting. Daniel says on 1/May/08
Rob, could you please blank out that jerk in the background of the photo to the right? He just spoils the picture RisingForceYJM says on 1/May/08
Sly usually looks as tall or taller than Willis so if Willis is a legit 6'1 barefoot and you factor in one inch for normal shoes that puts Willis at 6'2 in shoes then that makes Sly 6'2 minimum in lifts at times?! Ola says on 30/Apr/08
"dmeyer says on 9/Apr/08
how come sly didnt loose any height at 61"
couse losing height is only an excuse (see hogan, andre giant etc) stallone is still a strong 5'9 - 5'10 even today - like was back in the rocky movies glenn says on 30/Apr/08
fighter-i sometimes joked around like that to myself.they all fluctuate.except i think bruce willis a legit 6-1,and looks shorter due to posture.arnold wear lifts sometimes.sly wear lifts usually. Fighter says on 30/Apr/08
Those recent picks with Arnold are hard to believe - do you think they are playing mind games with us by deciding who wears lifts and who does not glenn says on 30/Apr/08
i hear you no lifts.i believe you. glenn says on 30/Apr/08
anonymous-your not making sense.thats a bull**** claim.how does a 5-7 or 5-8 man look 6ft or 6-1 in low cut dress shoes? explain please.of course sly wear all kinds of thick and ugly footwear too.but thats what they are,thick and ugly.achieving 2.5 at most on average.and lower.on rare occason 3.do the math.subtract.your get around a 5-10 guy. Nolifts81 says on 30/Apr/08
Lynn- I know very well if a shoe is an elevator shoe or a normal shoe. I've used for 8 years elevator shoes and lifts. In fews occasions Sly wears normal dress shoes,maybe with an exterior heel of 1.5 or 1.7inch. However I have to say that from 3 or 4 years Stallone wears only elevator shoes, but in the 90' he used, sometimes, to wear normal dress shoes.In those occasions(telegatti 1992 and 1993) he had on normal dress shoes with an exterior heel of 1.5 inch.
You want to know Italian celebrities that I've met and that are about my height?
Actors: Riccardo Scamarcio; Leonardo Pieraccioni; Fabio Volo
Singers: Eros Ramazzotti(but I think he wears small lifts)
These are about my height, but not exactly my height(177cm)
About Stallone's height I am sure: 176 cm! Lynn says on 30/Apr/08
Nolifts81,
for better comparison I would like to know which italian celebs you have met that are about your height : 177 cm .
And, how do you know that Sly with 177 cm Corrado, had no lifts but regular 1.5" dress shoes? Anonymous says on 30/Apr/08
didn't ziggy who is 5.7 say he can reach over 6ft with his own amateur elevator footwear? I think some people underestimate how desperate Sly is to look tall. Nolifts81 says on 30/Apr/08
Glenn- I believe you! Sly can look 6'1" with his lifts. I've met him 2 times.
What I want to say is that also a 5'9" or a 5'9.5(176cm) guy can reach the 6'1" with lifts. I am 177cm barefoot and with my best elevator boots I am 186,5cm(6'1.5). I gain 3.75 inchs over my barefoot height. I am sure that Sly can do better than me. To me Sly is 5'9.5(176cm)barefeet and with lifts he is 6'1". Lynn- Corrado has said a lot of times his height. He has always said 177cm. I believe him because he looked that height. I remember Corrado and Luke Perry(5'9" or 5'9.5) on the stage. Corrado was about half inch taller than him (1 or 2 cm). If Sly(with 1.5 dress shoes) was the same Corrado's height(Corrado had on 1 inch dress shoes), I am almost sure that Sly is 176 cm. Yes I've met a lot of italian celebrities. glenn says on 30/Apr/08
exactly leung.thats what have been saying for the longest.check out the glenn page for me at the party with downey.the press beat me to it.lol. THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 29/Apr/08
bam, I really enjoyed the playboy article. I think it is the best article I have ever read about Stallone. What an amazing man and story. Leung says on 29/Apr/08
Sly is 5’10” and with the help of his best footwear can look 6’1”.
People here are shocked to see Stallone looking tall, but some of us have been saying all along that Stallone can look like a legit 6’1” guy.
There is no way that a 5’8” guy can pull that off, check out the Robert Downey Jr page and see evidence of Downey Jr wearing ridiculous shoes and he still looks short, he doesn’t even come close to 6’ in his megashoes. Leung says on 29/Apr/08
Chris,
Unless you are thinking about kung fu slippers then there are very few types of shoes that are only 0.5”. Tom Arnold at 6’1” would mean that realistically 6’2”-6’2.5” in regular shoes. glenn says on 29/Apr/08
you deserve it bam.even though i brought to everyones attention.i have enough spotlight here as is though.you did the work.you deserve it. Chris says on 29/Apr/08
RisingForceYJM- great find. Tom Arnold must be 6'1˝'' in shoes if he is 6'1'' barefoot. That means Stallone is 6'1˝'' in lifts. Wow! RisingForceYJM says on 29/Apr/08
Unless Sly is standing on his toes then he looks 6'1 or 6'1.5 in the picture with Tom Arnold. bam says on 29/Apr/08
no problem glenn. It was suprisingly easy to find the claim, just used the search engine on playboys website. Now all readers will be able to accurately read all guages of stallone's height. 5'10.75 peak, and 5'8, estimations from average joes expecting stallone to be 6'2. Rob, thanks for adding the quote, and crediting me. My name is eternalized on this site forever now! glenn says on 29/Apr/08
whats funny is guys who are sure of themselves without ever seeing the guy in person.even 5-9 is too low.that wasnt a direct hit at rob by the way.serious.i mean these posters who are so sure he is 5-8,5-9.and some people dont believe me that he can look 6-1 in lifts. RisingForceYJM says on 29/Apr/08
He was taller than Russell by an inch or 2 barefoot. Get your eyes checked. Russell is 5'9-5'10 and Sly is 5'10.5 or 5'10.75. Sly probably wouldn't round to 5'11 because people were always questioning his height and they'd question it even more if he claimed 5'11 so I guess he figures claiming 5'10 or his exact height of 5'10.75 is easier.
Sly looking atleast as tall as 6'1 Tom Arnold if not a little taller.

No lifts will make a man barely 5'8 look over 6'1 next to anybody. the shredder says on 29/Apr/08
Rob , just give the guy 5'10 ! He has even claimed 5'10.75 ! Please , he looked 5'11 at peak , please give him 5'10 ? Anonymous says on 29/Apr/08
5'10.75? that's funny that is. you think Sly wouldn't round up to 5'11 if if really was that height? what a joke. look at him next to kurt russell or sharon stone in shower scenes the guy is barely 5'8 RisingForceYJM says on 29/Apr/08
Arnold was 6'1.5 peak and I think he was still that height in 1992 so he should look much taller than 5'10.5-5'10.75 Stallone. Lynn says on 29/Apr/08
Nolifts81,
I believe you. I would like to ask you still some questions.
1. This is a pic from the 1992 italian TV show "Telegatti".
Click Here
We all remember that Arnold looked way taller than Stallone and that Sly seemed the same height of Corrado.
But, as you know, Corrado was a very old man. How do you know that he stll was 177 cm?.
2.Have you met some other Italian TV guys for making a better comparison? RisingForceYJM says on 29/Apr/08
That is good enough for me. I'll agree he's 5'10.75 or atleast 5'10.5. I'll give him atleast 5'10.75 peak and maybe he shrunk to 5'10.5 by the time he claimed it in 1993. Or he could still be 5'10.75 like you say Glenn. He doesn't look short to me at all and he can look 6 foot or 6'1 in lifts. You have to be almost 5'11 to ever look that tall in any mens shoes. Here are some recent pictures of Sly looking taller than 6'0 Arnold Schwarzenegger who is another candidate to wear lifts. Click Here Click Here glenn says on 29/Apr/08
bam-thank you for saving the day and backing me.im just a little surprised since its robs site he didnt remember that.even stranger,i think maybe what i read was more condensed.or maybe im a idiot and it was exactly the same.5-10.75 is what sly is.even today.sorry guys. glenn says on 29/Apr/08

Heightdetective says on 28/Apr/08
Glenn, how old was you on the left picture? I cant't believe that a 19 year old guy could grow a holy inch afterwards. I always thought height growth is finished with 18 or so.
No boys grow up until they turn 21 or so. It just depends sometimes. Boys definetly dont stop growing at 18. Some young men even continue growing until they are into their early 20's(22-24) Heightdetective says on 28/Apr/08

Lynn- I am 177cm. When I've met Fiorello he was 2 good inches taller than me and 1 inch shorter than my brother. My brother is 6'1". When I've met Paolo Bonolis I had the impression that he was a little bit taller than me, near the 180cm, maybe 179cm. However I've seen a lot of times , in TV, Fiorello and Bonolis together(gran premio internazionale della tv or Oscar della Tv Rai)and Fiorello was always a good inch taller than Bonolis. So Fiorello is a Solid 6ft. I've seen again the clip Fiorello/Travolta and I have the impression that Travolta is a fraction taller than Fiorello , about 2 cm taller. I think Travolta is about 6'1". Lynn I am sure That Sly is a hair taller than 5'9", he is 176cm. I remember "I telegatti 1993" when Sly was on the Stage with Corrado(177cm). Sly was the same Corrado's height, but Sly had on a normal black dress shoes with an exterior heel of about 1.5 inch; Corrado had on 1 inch dress shoes.I am sure Sly is 176cm glenn says on 28/Apr/08
maybe i didnt read it here.couldve sworn i did.i know the claims exists for sure though. glenn says on 27/Apr/08
risingforceyjm-it was mentioned here on this page or elsewhere on the site.maybe rob can help us?
[Editor Rob: I'm not sure about the 10.75 or where it came from, but we do know where he was saying 5ft 10.5 exactly.] glenn says on 27/Apr/08
its called i was 19 on the right.these pics on the site are taken over a 18 year period. Lynn says on 27/Apr/08
Nolifts81,
1. I agree with you that from the appearance he did on the Italian television Sly seem to be 175-176 cm. But keep in mind that we both know that with the Bertulli's like products it is possible to gain 6 cm ( almost 2.5" ) from barefeet with apparenly normal shoes.
2.I remember you said that your last height in the medical office was 176.5 cm Am I wrong? This is also my height in the army. So I think we have the same perception of others height. I notice that a 179-180 cm person is a bit taller than me but I can still look at him straight in his eyes, while if a person is in the 183 cm range( 6") I have to "look up" at him.
Did you have these sensations when you met Bonolis and Fiorello?
Look at again this clip with Fiorello and 6" Travolta. Are they the same height or Travolta is a fraction taller?
Click Here Nolifts81 says on 27/Apr/08
Lynn- Fiorello is 6ft. I've met him several times. Bonolis is a weak 5'11".
Stallone, with at least 2 inchs elevator trainers, looked 2 inchs shorter than Fiorello. So Stallone is 5'9 or 5'9.5(176cm) max. Believe me Lynn Bonolis is not 176- 177cm. He is 179 or 180cm. Fiorello is a good inch taller than Bonolis. Heightdetective says on 27/Apr/08
Glenn, why are you 5ft 7 on the right picture and 5ft 8 on the left? How did you grow a holy inch?? Heightwatcher says on 27/Apr/08
Glenn, stallone isn't 5 feet 8.
175-176cm sounds correct. RisingForceYJM says on 27/Apr/08
Glenn do you remember when Sly said 5'10.75 because if you can remember what newspaper, show ect. I can try to find the interview and post it. I have him at 5'10.5 so I could believe 5'10.75 aswell. It's funny how people forget that he looked the same height as Arnold a few times and even taller in a few recent pictures. That puts him atleast 6-1 in shoes. He is still a minimum 5'10.5 Anonymous says on 27/Apr/08
Sly never looks 6.1 with huge lifts he's 5'11 rest is posture or the odd camera angle. glenn says on 27/Apr/08
amazing how people think a 5-8 man can reach 6ft to 6-1 in lifts.amazing how people forget how i studied him in his dress shoes,ankles properly in place looking 6ft.so that would have to mean 5-10.75.he mustve had a slight lift. Hooper says on 26/Apr/08
I just asked Tommy Morrison this afternoon in Burbank: 5' 9". Davey says on 26/Apr/08
anonymous how the hell do you know wha sly wants? Fighter says on 26/Apr/08
I spoke to someone who met him in Vegas for the Calzaghe fight and they said he was about my height - I'm exactly five eight and five nine in shoes Anonymous says on 26/Apr/08
If Sly had a choice on what height he would like to be - I think he would prefer to be 6ft 2inch, not any taller! Mike says on 26/Apr/08
Anonymous i think your kinda right, just compare Stallone to Willis the 2 guys Glenn tells people that are taller then they'd expect.... Glenn's estimates Sly 5'10 Willis 6'0.5... hes basically saying Willis is at least 2 inches taller maybe 2.5 ....Editor Rob's estimates Stallone 5'9 Willis (5'11 5'11.5) hes basically saying the exact same thing 2.5 inches taller Id say Sly 5'9 5'95 max Willis 5'11.5ish im saying 2 2.5 inches between the 2...bottom line Stallone the past few years has been coming in 1 inch taller then Willis in pics and when Glenn saw them 2 together awhile ago.... this shows Sly is using at least 3 maybe getting close to 4 inch lifts, anyone beg to differ?? so its tough to tell his height, if we all agree Willis is at least 2 inches taller wtf does Sly appear taller??? I dont think Willis uses lifts or rarely but i could be wrong Lynn says on 26/Apr/08
@barzola
Fiorello is taller than Bonolis.
Fiorello is around 180-181 cm.
Bonolis is around 176-177 cm. Anonymous says on 26/Apr/08

Amazing how many people still fall for sly's huge footwear and still think he's 5'10 glenn says on 26/Apr/08
he is stallone.he can get away with wearing anything he wants.to a premiere at that.i admire that actually.fuk conventional wear. Davey says on 26/Apr/08
I agree Charliemoto when i watch rambo 3 hes upperbody looks like the upperbody of a 5`8 man to me.But in rocky 1 when he is running with converse all stars on he looks 5`10 easily. bazorla says on 25/Apr/08
fiorello is not 6', he's the same height as paolo bonolis which is not even a solid 5'11, so I'd say they are both 1,80 cm at most Charles says on 25/Apr/08
Saw him at the Riviera Country Club in LA in '91. He was 5' 8.5 inches n golf shoes. Way short!!!! derek d says on 25/Apr/08
Sly would look more in proportion with a suit on for premiers... wonder what he was thinking. Charliemoto says on 25/Apr/08
in one of those pictures listed above you can feel the Stallone heightness, his body is totally out of proportion for his height so even if he looks 5'11 or 6'0 it just doesnt fit him and still look short.
back in the days when he was thinner maybe the trick worked but now even with 10 inches he still looks "compressed".
Click Here
best example Chris says on 25/Apr/08
Check out his shoes, play forward 30 seconds. Click Here derek d says on 25/Apr/08
Sly does not look as short in those new Rambo promo pictures with Arnold as you people seem to think. Arnold is probably still 6 ft barefoot and about 6'1 in dress shoes. Sly is looking about 2 inches under him so that makes him 5 11 ish or close to 6 ft (obv with some kind of lift, btw was his footwear shown for that event?). RisingForceYJM says on 24/Apr/08
dmeyer his lifts can also make him the same height as Arnold in certain pictures and taller than 5'11 Bruce Willis. Arnold's height has been questioned too so it's not impossible he wears lifts sometimes. Jake it's possible he rounds down to 5'10" instead of up to 5'11" because if he claimed a full 5'11" people would question his height even more. dmeyer says on 24/Apr/08
either sly lost 1 in or he is going liftless or he is wearing only 0.75 in lifts since he can look 5 ft 9ish near arnie and he is towered by tucker who is 184 185 cm glenn says on 24/Apr/08
excellent point risingforceyjm.he appears to have lost no height at all.and with his healty habits,it shouldnt be hard to maintain. Jake Is Back says on 23/Apr/08
I wouldn't give him anything more than 5'10" flat, peak or now. He's a very sensitive about his height and would never short change himself and say 5'10" if he was really closer to 5'11". But if Glenn says he's a 180 cm type I have to think he is likely 177 - 178 becuase there is no way he could fool Glenn by more than a couple cm. RisingForceYJM says on 23/Apr/08
Honestly Glenn I don't think Sly has really shrunk at all. He appears taller now(of course part of that is footwear) but overall I still see him as a solid 5'10.5 barefoot. Sly maybe has been able to maintain his height now at 62 years old because of his posture and healthy workout/eating habits. glenn says on 23/Apr/08
exactly davey on your theory.i agree.except he was 5-10.75 peak.and is still close to that. Davey says on 23/Apr/08
The reason sly wears big shoes is not because hes short.Its because hes an action star and people expect them to be taller.So i think over the years sly has become insecure about this and started wearing thicker shoes.He also hangs around guys that are taller like arnie and bruce so i can see where he gets hes insecuritys.I too hang around guys who are mostly 6 foot and feel shorter even though im 176.5 average.I think sly is around 177 peak. RisingForceYJM says on 23/Apr/08
Yes Sly wears big shoes that make him look an inch or 2 taller than he really is but many of you people act like he looks only 5'9-5'10 even with the big shoes. Not true. There are many cases where he looks 6 feet or taller. Here are some pictures where he looks around 6 feet tall.
Here he is with 6 foot Arnold Schwarzenegger who had a peak height of 6'1.5 Bruce Willis is also in the last picture.

I don't care how big his shoes are. If he looks about 6 feet that often I doubt he's below 5'10.5. It's pretty easy to figure out. When he looks 6 feet or taller he's obviously wearing bigger shoes but when he looks more like 5'10-5'11 he's probably wearing normal shoes.
By the way in case many of you have forgotten Sly is not the only actor who wears lifts. glenn says on 22/Apr/08
thanks zach! how have you been? leonari says on 22/Apr/08
no he is 178 cm...I doubt he was taller... Davey says on 22/Apr/08
I think hes about 5`9 and a half 176 to 177. Hooch says on 22/Apr/08
I believe he's 5 ft. 10 if he says so. He's in sneakers for the most parts of Rocky -saga and looks quite average tall. And I don't believe he's having lifts on his sneakers. Zach says on 22/Apr/08
You don't have to be 30 to be a doc. Here in the UK you can qualify as early as 23, in the states I think it's slightly later.

Am I going mad??? Watched Daylight at my sister's last night, and it appears Sage is growing too! He looks quite tall in Moscow Zero, not much shorter then Val Kilmer but in Daylight he looks quite a bit shorter then his dad.
Calzaghe is a legend!
Glenn great choice of films, the Empire Strikes Back is my fave out of the three.
Leo, love americans thought you might be because your style of writing is quite american. miko says on 20/Apr/08
Just seen some pics of Sly at the Hopkins/Calzaghe bash and he must have had the MONSTERS on, he looked hugely stupid, very close in height to Arnold and towering the 5"11 Willis. glenn says on 19/Apr/08
captain audacious-when i was younger my favorite films were the star wars trilogy and raiders of the lost ark.now i wouldnt know how to answer that.scarface then and now too.i love horror movies the best.from beyond,reanimator,evil dead are a few of faves.actors are depp,penn,pacino.music-van halen,sabbath,early maiden. glenn says on 19/Apr/08
mickey-thats fine.you can think what you want.but i studied slys low cut dress shoes and ankles on many occasion,no grand lifts.and he was 6ft.so he would have to be 5-10.5,5-10.75.yes,he did once state 5-11.75.he usually says 5-10.if he keeps stating the other 2 figures,it makes him sound desperate to be taller.so he is modest at stating 5-10 and maybe he is that now. THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 19/Apr/08
captain audacious, I like your handle and have enjoyed reading your posts. I am surprised that nobody has come out with a book about Sly yet as I am sure that it would do very well. Every site has an angry little man on it, looks like you met ours already. Nolifts81 says on 19/Apr/08
Lynn- Raoul Bova is more than 181 cm, he is more 182-183. Fiorello is exactly his same height! So Fiorello is 6ft and sly looked 2 inchs shorter than him. However I am sure that sly had on elevator trainers that increased his height by 2 inches at least. Sly is a hair taller than 5'9". He is 5'.9.5 (176cm). Regarding Pippo Baudo I have to say that his official peak height was 187cm and not 185cm. Fiorello has always been about 4 cm shorter than baudo. So,I think that Baudo is or was 187cm, Fiorello 183cm, Stallone 176cm. What do you think Lynn? leonari says on 19/Apr/08
Captain audacious: Sorry for adding a year or two to your age. Ok I take a couple of things back.You seem to be a genuine person who wants to help others. A huge number of doctors have rather $ signs where they should have empathy.
Look I am huge SLY fan. I think he is incredibly bright and extremely well spoken. Do me the favor and watch a couple of interviews on youtube. Very witty man. Even David Letterman is extremely impressed with SLY's humor. Check it out it's worth it.
Terror with a twinkle...LOL!!! You are funny! Even though I don't think it's true. I think he is a rather kind human being.but I will agree with you: he has some insecurity issues... He also stated in one interview that he truly believes that a core of a person doesn't change wether that person is 12 years old or 60...my interpretation of this line is that he still has the same issues he had as a poor kid being pushed from family to family, peers making fun of him because of his crooked mouth...
He is a human being with qualities and flaws...
I am so not american dear. I am from Austria with romanian roots. But it would be interesting to find out what YOU think about americans since you thought the horrible insulting me is american...

Sorry for losing my temper...which is my biggest flaw by the way. Chris says on 18/Apr/08
-Glenn...When did Sly claim 5.10.75? I´ve seen 5'10 and 5'10˝'' but not 5'10.75. RisingForceYJM says on 18/Apr/08
Yeah I could believe that but out of curiosity where did the 5'10.75" height come from for him? I've seen 5'10.5" and 5'10" but has he also claimed 5'10.75"? captain audacious says on 18/Apr/08
Had to go mid sentence.
Leonari as we are on first name terms my name is Charis, but you can call me Carrie.
Here are some of my favourite things (God that sounds so Maria Von Trapp),
Film: Goodfellas
Actor: Al Pacino
Actress: Nicole Kidman
Icecream: Baileys
Drink: Batida Morango
Leo, if I was a god in white I would have the body of Jessica Biel and the face of Monica Belluci. Off the record, some medics do have a god complex (usually the ones who treat the body as a study of Biology rather then a human being). Some of us do genuinely care, especially when the loss of a loved one has inspired us to go into the medical profession.
So Glen, Elio & Leo what are your favourite things? How tall are you guys? I know Glen is 5'8. xx captain audacious says on 18/Apr/08
Leonari hun there is no need to be so aggressive darling. I quite like hot heads shame I am engaged. I never said I disliked Stallone. His behaviour is shocking but I actually like him, he is a terror with a twinkle.
If you want to be mean go ahead, as long as you don't keep adding years to me. I am younger then 30 but only just! Now for a personal question, just a guess but are you american?
Elio, thought this would interest you. My friend's cousin has just completed research for a biography coming out next year, I can't say know because of confidentiality reasons. The book had to be toned down, because the person is even wilder then they are perceived to be. My friend's cousin is not interested in celebrities which made them an ideal candidate.

Glenn while i respect your opinion and your contributions to the site are invaluable, i cannot see Sly as ever being 5'10.75" barefoot. I can believe 5'9.5" at best which would get him looking 6 foot in his custom monster shoes. Theres a pic on getty images where he and Mel Gibson are EXACTLY the same height(probably both wearing lifts). But i've never met him or seen him in person so i'm really just guessing/assuming from pics i've seen of him with other actors. Again i'm not arguing with you, just stating what i think. glenn says on 18/Apr/08
thanks captain audacious! glenn says on 18/Apr/08
right risingforceyjm.when someone did post a pic of him and sly, he was 6ft! in golf shoes! or at least looked it.i meant 5-10.75 before. elio says on 17/Apr/08
Captain Audacious,
The offical verdict on why Sage Stallone doesn't reprise his role as Rocky Jnr was that he had to turn it down because of obligations with his company, 'Grindhouse Releasing'. There's never been anything to hint that there was any other reason for him not doing that movie.
I would also argue that a lot of biographies are filled with hearsay and/or hidden (or not so hidden) agendas. Seems to have been quite a few 'biographers' getting sued or admitting their stories are false. E.g, Wendy Leigh, Kathleen Turner and recently Debbie Nelson. Not to mention many others. Certainly, anyone with a background in any type of science, which emphasises the need for proof, should take any such negative claims of a star with a degree of skepticism. RisingForceYJM says on 17/Apr/08
Exactly Glenn. Why is it none of these people claiming he is 5'7" or 5'8" have a picture with him? leonari says on 17/Apr/08
Captain Audacious: First I forgot to put my nick down: the last two anonymous post are from me :leonari
Ok..so no tabloids...no official biographies are out there when it comes to SLY...So where do you get all your info from?? is it female intuition??
Off course you are a doctor... our gods in white.
It still shocks me to read lines from a female who must be over 30 (since you are a doctor) and amazed by a man starring at a gorgeous women... Did you skip the whole evolution theory when studying for your degree, or?? Men look at women. It's hard wired for god sake!!
When he left his first wife he once admitted that he was full of himself, very arrogant and fell for the "Hollywood game". He isn't proud of it. But again: You know nothing about the marriage between Sasha and SLY. None. Nada. Zero. Neither do I.
The only way one can accept your unfair and insulting claims when it comes to Stallone is if you know either SLY himself, Sasha or at least Sage, Frank or jackie Stallone.No? You don't know them personally?NO?? So please stop!! The language you are using is nothing but hilarious!! I quote" I am not a fan of inaccurate and excessive verbosity".
Ok... So what you are saying is that your claims:
1) Sly a cheater
2) A gigolo
3) No family man
4) Egoistical
5) insecure
...are not based on "accurate" assumations...yeah sure.
Gals like you with all your prejudice and all the bull youn come up with make this planet a miserable place. Truly.
Don't bother to reply.
Beside the fact that he wears lifts from time to time which supports the inscecurity claim YOU dear
And besides being the best actor of his era he had a huge fan base and still to this day there are huge amounts of folks who admire and respect him. But what is that compared to you...A doctor...WOW. Your parents must be really proud. For an "eternal " student you lack every single quality a student should bring to the table. Very sad... Anonymous says on 17/Apr/08
true: SLY IS taller than Russel in 90 % of the scenes in Tango & Cash. |
