I don't think he's ever tip-toed. Imagine that pap shot, he'd be ripped. Hey Burby I met my astronaut.
burby says on 19/Nov/09
Rising just went under 5'9" for Sly? Looks like somebody has met their postman..... RisingForce says on 19/Nov/09
One thing I still don't get is this "being caught tip-toeing" claim. Has anyone found anything clearer than some blurry photo taken from a distance? I'd hardly call that being caught. RisingForce says on 19/Nov/09
Brad, I haven't posted on this page for 3 years. Maybe a year and a half frequently. A few times before that under anonymous. I didn't start posting here that logn before Glenn's first ban. Zach says on 19/Nov/09
Jessica you're clearly very new to the world of Stallone's monstrous footwear. Firstly, Assante acted with Sly in Judge Dredd not Demolition Man. They did everything to make Sly taller in that film, particularly camera angles. Judge Dredd from the comic books is a towering figure and many of Dredd's die hard fans were distraught that someone of Sly's stature got picked for the role.
Regardless here's his footwear in Judge Dredd: Click Here
And if you actually were referring to Demolition Man: Click Here
You are right, he often does LOOK 5'10/11, but can you see now why? With good posture and camera angles he can even sometimes look around the 5'11.5 mark, but that doesnt necessarily mean thats his actual height.
Regarding the Rocky Balboa premiere, Sly wears elevator footwear everywhere and almost 100% always at public events. He also uses every trick in the book, from being caught tip toeing to the best camera angles. In the picture you posted he's closer to the camera than 5'8.5 Milo Ventimiglia. In this picture they're a similar distance from the camera and you can also see Sly's elevator shoes: Click Here Brad says on 19/Nov/09
Assante has never been 5' 9" in his life. In American Gangster he looked at most 5' 8". Sly is going to be in big ones as the lead. Armand may want to find NYC sandals. derek d. says on 19/Nov/09
jessica says on 16/Nov/09
I'd say he's 5' 10". He looked a teeny bit taller than Armand Assante in Demolition Man. He's also almost two inches taller than 5' 9" Milo Ventimiglia:
Click Here
Trust me when I say he was wearing shoe lifts next to both of those actors. I also bet you the two of them are actually taller than him or at least the same height. Brad says on 18/Nov/09
That took 3 years Rising, now get on the Bat Phone and tell Commissioner G that he is now the lone 5' 10"+er. Jack is 5' 8" flat, Stallone a 1/2" taller and a 1/2" taller than that in his "effect". Sly is in customs at premieres/events/speaking engagements... Mickey says on 18/Nov/09
My point was that Sly looking closer to Jack's height that night rendered the Lucas thing moot(my opinion. Jack is standing closer to Sly than Lucas is to Sly, so theres less difference in perspective and other variables such as "tilt".
I dont really see the tilt in this case. And even if i did, we cannot tell if the tilt is in place in your Lucas photo as theres nothing to reference it to as its a closer shot.
Click Here
How about this photo? Close up, no "tilt", Sly next to Jack who is next to Lucas. Sly is not much taller than Jack(and Sly is in lifts, with better posture) and Jack is taller then Lucas. Either Lucas is shorter than listed here or is not wearing lifts that night(or both cases), unless Jack is really 5'11", which he isn't.
I think Sly is really close to Jack in height barefoot. Probably a bit taller, but not by much. I think Jack is in the 5'8" range nowadays. I have no idea why Sly doesn't look much taller then Jack even though Sly is in lifts, but theres a video of the event where Sly and Jack look a similar height throughout it, so i don't think its just camera snap-shot trickery. My opinion anyway. RisingForce says on 18/Nov/09
Let me also say that while I'm not 100% certain on Sly. I'm changing my estimate to a flat 5'9". I'll give him a solid 5'9" peak and a weak 5'9" now. bam says on 17/Nov/09
brads got it right. Stallone's height is 5'9 with his best posture. The same way any 5'9 man would be 5'9 standing at their straightest. jessica says on 17/Nov/09
edit: 5' 11" and if he's not, he was wearing shoe lifts in that pic. Danimal says on 17/Nov/09
Vibram says on 16/Nov/09
I think Stallone is obsessed with height like a 16 year old boy. Look at this photo Click Here he's checking out everybody else when they are facing forward towards the cameras. He's like thinking "Yeahh...I look 5-11 here and taller than most of the other guys...sorted".
Look how short Clint Eastwood is in that pic. 6'0" flat. Anonymous says on 17/Nov/09
Give it up. The rome shot killed sly. Add frank2's sighting, and mamun's, who stated he was the same height as sly, sly has never been 5'9 in his life. Brad says on 17/Nov/09
Jack is 5' 8" and slouch. Sly is 5' 9" in "effect" plus customs Jack wouldn't be caught dead in. RisingForce says on 17/Nov/09
Let me ask you this. How tall do you think Jack is? Some say 5'8", some say 5'9". For arguments sake, lets say he's the 5'8.5" he's listed at here. Now I know you think Sly is either 5'8.5" or 5'9"(can't remember which at the moment). Now does it make any sense that if the photo were true to reality that the two men would still look similar in height with Sly having a noticeable footwear and posture advantage? It doesn't to me.
Yes, 2 out of the 3 photos show Jack and Sly similar in height. I'm not trying to argue that Sly looked any particular height next to Jack that night. If I was using the one photo where Sly looked taller(with the camera advantage) then I'd see your point.
I don't really see your point. I see a tilt in Nicholson's favor in atleast 2 of the photos, one of which Sly is standing a bit behind Jack. In the other photo Sly has a noticeable camera advantage. To me none of the photos are that good so I wasn't trying to argue anything based on them.
As far as the Lucas photo. Well do you see a tilt in Sly's favor? Do you see Sly standing closer to the camera? If so then I'd see your point. Yes it was taken in the same place as the Nicholson pics, but that doesn't mean that the camera angle is level on those pics.
If the Nicholson pictures seem like good photos for height comparisons to you then I won't argue, you're entitled to your opinion. But personally none of them seem that good to me for the reasons I stated. jessica says on 16/Nov/09
I'd say he's 5' 10". He looked a teeny bit taller than Armand Assante in Demolition Man. He's also almost two inches taller than 5' 9" Milo Ventimiglia:
Click Here Mickey says on 16/Nov/09
So when 2 out of 3 pictures show Jack looking similar height to Sly(in lifts) is all about perspective to you but then you show us one picture where Sly is looking taller than George Lucas, you use it to prove a point. Sorry but if that is the case then your Lucas picture could be "one of perspective" too, as all the photos were taken at the same place and time.
Also in your first pic of Sly and Jack. Of course Sly is going to come out taller there, he is wearing lifts and has military posture while Jack is standing pretty casual. So even there Sly does not seem much taller(factoring in the lifts and posture difference of course). burby says on 16/Nov/09
Who would feel sorry for Sly? He's in his munsters and going into Sly military effect next to a 5'8" Jack, like in the golf whopper shots. 100% height insecure, that's Sly for ya. His legs look like toothpicks..... Don says on 16/Nov/09
Rising,
Is it really worth your time rehashing pictures that have been analyzed and dissected to death a million times to prove your point that sly is not as low as 5'8? Majority of posters here seem to believe that sly is around 5'8.5-5'9 area so you are pretty much preaching to the choir here.
Strongest evidence that has sly possibly being 5'8 are the Rome pictures, and I can't blame anyone for believing that sly is of that height after observing those pictures, and I don't think you can either. Vibram says on 16/Nov/09
I think Stallone is obsessed with height like a 16 year old boy. Look at this photo Click Here he's checking out everybody else when they are facing forward towards the cameras. He's like thinking "Yeahh...I look 5-11 here and taller than most of the other guys...sorted". Brad says on 16/Nov/09
Sly looks like an Oscar statue planted on the floor at 6' . Sick stuff, I feel sorry for him in those Frankenstein customs and "effect". Probably used them as anchors on his boat later on. RisingForce says on 16/Nov/09
Thanks, Christian and good observation, Mickey. But I think Sly and Nicholson in those pictures is all about perspective.
First photo- Click Here Sly with the camera advantage, but perhaps a slight tilt in Jack's favor. Sly comes out looking a lot taller.
Second photo- Click Here Tilt and camera advantage in Jack's favor and they look very close in height.
Third photo- Click Here Sly with the camera advantage(although less than the first pic) and Jack with the tilt in his favor and the two look close in height
Overall I personally don't think any of the pictures are that good as far as comparing height. The Lucas/Stallone photo seems better to me because camera angles don't seem to be an issue to me. But I posted all of the photos available so you all can come to your own conclusions.
Regardless something wouldn't add up to me if Sly in big elevator shoes was close in height to Jack. Now it seems that these days the lowest regular posters try to argue for either Sly or Jack is 5'8". Based on the series of golf photos I believe that Sly is a minimum half inch taller than Jack. Jack is listed a half inch shorter than Sly here. So in my opinion something doesn't add up if Sly with an obvious footwear advantage and possible footwear advantage ends up about the same height.
Just my 2 cents though. Anonymous says on 15/Nov/09
sly in his effect next to george lucas looks pathetic. Whats even funnier about that pic is that everyone else is in relaxed posture except him. LOL Mickey says on 15/Nov/09
Rising about those pics with Lucas, it is true that Sly looks much taller. But don't forget those pics on the same night, in virtually the same place where Sly looked pretty much the same height with Jack Nicholson, and Sly was sporting lifts too. Christian says on 15/Nov/09
RisingForce, I think you always have great pictures to show. To me Sly is 5'9''. RisingForce says on 15/Nov/09
Of course Sly is in elevator shoes, Brad. I wouldn't expect him to look 6 ft without them. Brad says on 15/Nov/09
G is a stone 5' 6.5" plus Portmans with Cruise. Porty edge to Cruise's stealth. Cruise still is taller on the shot. Rob's listing is correct. Uh Rising, Stallone is wearing massive customs with Lucas plus he's pulling The Stallone Effect in a hilarious way. He'll have better posture than Jack and I guarantee you Sly has golf shoes with something in them, he's Sly, the same Sly who says he's 5' 10 and 3 quarters tall. He gives G a run in the inflate dept.. RisingForce says on 15/Nov/09
Some interesting comparisons.
Sly looks like he can see right over the top of 5'6" George Lucas' head. Click Here Stallone is standing like a statue, but Lucas is in "effect" as well and Sly looks 5" taller.
Lucas is known for wearing height-increasing shoes himself and that day seemed to be no exception. Here you can see that his shoes have pretty big heels. Click Here You can also see here that the angle of his foot is very steep almost in a tip-toe position. Click Here
Since George's shoes effectively make him equal to a 5'7" man, Stallone did a good job passing for 6 ft in that picture.
Sly looks taller than 5'8.5"-5'9" Antonio Banderas and they're both in elevator shoes. Click Here If anything, Antonio's shoes seem even bigger.
A flat 5'8" is definitely too low, in my opinion. After seeing him in numerous golf photos I can't see him that low. For example, he looked taller than 5'9" listed Michael Douglas in a series of golf photos about 5-6 years ago. The lowest anyone tries to argue for Douglas is 5'8". He looked taller than 5'8.5" listed Jack Nicholson in a series of golf pictures around the same time and the lowest anyone tries to argue for Jack is 5'8". He was taller than 5'8" Mark Wahlberg in 2-3 golf photos as well. I personally don't buy the theory of elevator golf shoes. You guys can believe what you want, but personally I don't buy it. Particularly with a broken foot in those James Caan pictures.
I'm still not sure on Sly's height, but I don't think he's as short as most of you think. Danimal says on 14/Nov/09
Brad says on 14/Nov/09
Arnie is leaning back, if he walks over to Sly he'd destroy him by 4"+ easy with Sly in customs. 5' 8.5". Hey SF you shoulda told G he was full of crap on Sly's hilarious 5' 10.75" height and G's comical 5' 8" claim for himself in '06. You coulda joined me getting kicked off for telling the truth. F2 just gave up on the comedy show with G n left. I guess you met your postman.
Don't you see the irony in your posts Brad? Your 5'8" claim for Tom Cruise is just as comical as Glenn having claimed to be the same height. Both guys are the EXACT same height. You are essentially Glenn Brad. Claiming Cruise is 5'8", is as bad as claiming Sly is a 5'10"+ guy.
Glenn - 5'6 3/4"
Cruise - 5'6 3/4"
Stallone - 5'8"-5'8.5" RisingForce says on 14/Nov/09
I actually wasn't implying anything, Don. Just trying to compare Sly and Arnie. If you look back at my post you'll notice two other comparisons I referred to between the two of them, one of which Sly looked shorter than the pictures with Franco and Arnie. Brad says on 14/Nov/09

I have been here before '06 and always argued Stallone shorter. Don says on 13/Nov/09
Rising,
And your point being...
since Arnie is 6'2 and change with boat shoes on and he 'looks' to be 3 inches taller than sly, so sly is 5'11 and change with shoes. Since those sneakers don't seem to give more than 2 inches, sly is around 5'10? Is that what you are implying? Once again, a whole lot of hypothetical thinking with no substantial evidence. Sam says on 13/Nov/09
Stallone is more along the lines 0f 5'8.5. Back in the early Rocky movies he 3 inches taller than Burt who is 5'7, but Sly wore those stupid boots that give 2 extra inches. The man is no taller than 5'9. I agree with Rob here for one time in my life. I'm still sore on the Alfred Molina listing though. RisingForce says on 13/Nov/09
I should say that's why I don't think there's much over 3" there, with the variables I could be off by a little. RisingForce says on 13/Nov/09
Don, you have to consider the tilt clearly in Arnie's favor. Look at the background. That's why I don't think there's more than 3" between the 2 there. Brad says on 13/Nov/09
I wonder where SF was in '06, very correct but 5' 9" in "effect", Slyster chest out n stretch, neck up. sf says on 13/Nov/09
Somehow, still listed at 5'9" despite all the evidence that proves shorter... RisingForce says on 12/Nov/09
In fact that's why I asked if there were any other ocassions I was unaware of where Arnold at his peak height was with Sly where their footwear was known. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's anything else. RisingForce says on 12/Nov/09
You're right Mickey, they are rare and that's too bad because Arnie is one of the rare celebs with a height that has been confirmed by someone else. Don says on 12/Nov/09
rising,
how do you come up with a 3 inch difference on the first picture? there is no telling just how much arnold will tower over sly if he stood up straight. arnie is still clearly taller than sly even when he's leaning.
mickey is right on...that picture has way too many unexplainable variables and shouldn't even be considered as far as judging heights is concerned. Brad says on 12/Nov/09
Imagine G today: "I still sez he's 5' 10 and 3 quartahs high, who have you met, your postman?" Dylan says on 12/Nov/09
Stallone is 5'8.5" maximum, you only have to look at him on the few occasions he is filmed barefoot. Brad says on 12/Nov/09
He gets 3" in Munsters alone, then really pulls the "effect". In the 70's he wore the obvious heeled footwear. Shaun says on 12/Nov/09
Mmm, the thing is a legit relaxed barefoot 5'9" should never look short unless compared to a 6'2" + guy as with posture and "normal" shoes they are likely to look 5'11" to the casual eye. But Stallone wears lifts and only seems to look 5'11" with stretched posture and dubious footwear. But he has looked short many times so it is a little suspicious. Maybe Hogan was right, he is 5'8". I believe Stallone can pull off looking 3 inches taller than his actual barefoot height with a combination of stretched posture, tip toes and lifts. Brad says on 12/Nov/09
Arnie in the early 90's against Sly back then was no problem for the big A even with the Slyster in Munsters. Mickey says on 11/Nov/09
I for one think Arnies posture in both photos is pretty bad. One could only guess how much height he is losing(3 inches? 2.5 inches?) Also, some people think that Sly's footwear is actually a real lift, not just slip in 1 inch lifts. His shoes do look very big there. Most photos with Sly and Arnie(pre-shrink) are like this, with Sly in big lifts and Arnie standing casually. They are also very rare. leonari says on 11/Nov/09
Mike: Kevin Costner and Stallone both 5'7"...Nice. Who else? John Travolta? Brad says on 11/Nov/09
F2 saw the farce before me. Day one on here after reading "5' 8" Glenn with Sly" was enough to blow his top or Vaj with a certain boxer. Imagine saying 5' 10.75", that's not as bad as Willis at 6' 1", that was lunacy. G-Unot. Metric says on 11/Nov/09
Yeah, Brad. You fought alone for a long time. Then came Vaj and a few others. But mostly it was you only.
To think that some G-loving mutts still today have the nerve to call you a loser??? These mutts are nothing without their master and they wouldn´t last two minutes under the conditions you were forced to endure on this site for years! Brad says on 11/Nov/09
Go to Dylan's shot of Sly & Arnie, it says it all. Sly's sneakers with Arnie are monsters, they spell "photo-op, dig out the customs". Franco is only up to a Sly's nose with Sly in customs. Sly digging at Planet Hollywood showed Sly at his shortest. RisingForce says on 11/Nov/09
I think that possibly the best person to compare Sly's height to is Arnold Schwarzenegger before he shrunk. Most agree that he was 6'1.5"/6'1.75" peak due to his measurement. Here are 2 great pics. Click Here Click Here
In the first picture I could see about a 3 inch difference. Kind of hard to tell because of posture(in Sly's favor) and the slope/tilt in Arnie's favor. In the second pic Arnie has a clear camera advantage, but once again he isn't standing straight. I'd imagine the difference to be closer to 2 inches in that picture.
Now on to footwear, most seemed to think that Sly has lifts in those sneakers and I won't disagree. His lower legs do look kind of funny and as I said from personal experience, slipping 1 inch lifts into sneakers is no big deal. Arnie is in thin shoes that don't look like they'd give more than a Converse sneaker so Arnie would be 6'2" and change in them. Now take away whatever difference you see between him and Sly.
Now onto another person to compare Sly to. The second picture gives a good comparison between Franco Columbu and Sly. Franco always claimed to be 5'5", but I've heard people claim that he's as short as 5'2". I think I remember reading once that his true height was either 5'3" or 5'4"? I think 5'4", but I'm not sure. However it does seem to me that Sly is towering over Franco by a good 7 inches because despite Franco's camera advantage it doesn't seem like he'd even reach Sly's nose.
Another comparison between Sly and Arnie was in those pics in the early 90's with Willis where all 3 were in cowboy boots. Sly with his chest out posture did seem 2 inches or less shorter, but the difference was probably closer to 3 with even posture. Then there were those mid 90's Planet Hollywood pics where Sly seemed a good 3-4 inches shorter despite obviously having a footwear advantage.
Any more pictures of the 2 of them(before Arnie shrunk) where their footwear is known would be appreciated. Brad says on 11/Nov/09
Discerning of all the posters....wish they were around in '06. You think Sly didn't have custom boxong boots in every Rocky? You bet he did, he's 5' 8.5". RisingForce says on 11/Nov/09
Ehh, i wouldn't say there's no way he didn't have anything in them. I don't know what he has in shoes. It wouldn't shock me at all if he slipped 1 inch lifts into them because it's not hard to accomplish. I can fit 1 inch lifts into sneakers and they're not that uncomfortable, but I wouldn't assume anything.
It is interesting to note that regardless of what Sly has in his shoes, his legs are still shorter than Flavin's there. It just goes to show how much shorter his legs are and how much longer his torso is for him to end up taller in that pic. Regardless I think the 2 have always been close in height with Flavin perhaps edging him these days based on that Rome pic. derek d says on 11/Nov/09

The next thing I know I'm tripping over this midget, who I didn't realize at first was Sly. 5'7" is a stretch: I would say more like 5'6".
5'6 is ludicrous for Stallone - Nike Shox give you 1.4", less than a half inch more than standard footwear.
Correct, there is no way Sly is 5'6, just another pointless story. But there is no way Sly did not insert anything in to those Nike Shoxs. Come on, it was a photo shoot with his 5'9 wife. Aleks says on 10/Nov/09
When I first saw Rocky a few years ago I thought Sly was 5'10".
His shoes are one of a kind, they didn't stand out. Cruise's shoes for instance do. It looked ridiculous in Eyes Wide Shut. Zach says on 10/Nov/09
5'7 is as ridiculous as 5'10. Sly is and always has been somewhere in the 5'8-9 range and the discerning of the posters here all acknowledge that. Mike says on 10/Nov/09
Put it this way. Having Literally bumped into both Charles Bronson & Sly. I would say that Bronson was taller, but not by much. I Guestimate Bronson to be 5'7", Sly slightly shorter than that. I could be gracious, and say I'm an inch short on both accounts, but I'm still bursting bubbles here and I apologize. Anonymous says on 10/Nov/09

Actually he doesn't look far off that in the sneaker shot. He does look taller, the question is what he has inside his sneakers. Brad says on 9/Nov/09
He looks 5' 8.5" with Flavin. Imagine saying 5' 10.75" with that sneakers shot? File under Rome and beach. RisingForce says on 9/Nov/09
What do you make of this picture? Click Here
My first thought was that he looked short next to Flavin, but then I realized that he was standing behind her and I compared him to John Travolta. Even considering posture I can't see 2 inches between them and John is over 6 feet. Sly's shoes atleast look pretty normal.
Interesting pic as well. Click Here RisingForce says on 7/Nov/09
Thank you Mickey. And even in photos from the last 2 decades would be hard to justify using since she's in her late 80's now and has almost surely lost height from the early to mid 70's when that photo was taken. Brad says on 7/Nov/09
Great clip Derek D, she seems to know she's blowing him away so she's laying back. Probably 4" heels to his customs. Jackie is 5' 4" in every clip like her TV show appearances. She is 4" shorter than the 5' 8.5" barefoot Sly, Sly isn't G height figure. G's estimate was a stone joke, the guy could barely spell common words like "prove". Just think, there were people on this site siding with the G on Sly's height, that's pathetic. At least Rob kept up the 5' 9" but the 5' 8" figure for G by his mug in everything was laughable and a site-wrecker. No Volvo... no last measure. The fries were cold. Mickey says on 7/Nov/09
Brad i can see Rising's point about the Jackie assumption though. While she does look short, its hard to see a difference of just 2 inches(that being 5'6" or 5'4"). I know 2 inches in height on this site is a big difference, but showing us some pictures of Jackie looking 5'4" would help instead of simply saying she is short in every photo. Using a photo with her and Sly doesn't count, as we are debating Sly's height too. Brad says on 7/Nov/09
"I met Sly for 20 years in all types of footware (sic) who have you met, your postman?" "I'm 5 feet 8, Rob, tell Brad to stop saying I'll measure under 5' 7", I'm serious". Imagine hearing "Bud, ya gotta move, we got hotel guests who need to get in and taxi drivers who need to get by" a thousand times...that's sorta like being at Rikers Island hearing bells every 1/2 hour. The G. Burby, bake him a cake with a sharpie on top. Anonymous says on 6/Nov/09
Rising needs to understand that Sly isn't a 5'9" man, just ask Rome, they have a pic to prove it. 5'9.5" is a lame joke for sly. Glenn yelling and hollering "5'10.75" lowered this site to the bottom. derek d says on 6/Nov/09
One reason why you shouldn't trust pictures all the time...
Click Here
I always figured Sly hit around the 6 ft mark in this one, in lifts. Flavin is around 6 ft in heels maybe 5'11.5 depending on the size of them. He looks a fraction taller than her.
Click Here
Here is a actual clip of them on that night. Go to 1:19 - 1:22. She absolutely towers over him, 2 inches or more, not to mention she is behind him too.
You just can't trust any photo of Flavin next to Sly in heels. Shes constantly bending for him in pictures taking away as much as 3 inches from her height. Vegas says on 6/Nov/09

Maybe Jackie Stallone doesn't exist since there is no evidence to give her any height. I guess I've only met my psychic hotline reader. Brad says on 6/Nov/09
Jackie is short in every photo, to say she is 5' 6" is ridiculous, Sly would be 5' 10". "Maybe he is under 5' 9" now". Hey G, you hear that. "Who have you met your...., I've met him in all...., he's 5' 10.75"" Harry Lime says on 6/Nov/09
I met Tom Cruise. He is not 5-8. Im 6-2 and I was a head taller. RisingForce says on 5/Nov/09
Wrong, Brad. I don't have an over 5'10" agenda right now. I'll say that at this point even a hair OVER 5'10" in the 70's, 80's, 90's or recent is 95% impossible IMO. Maybe he's even under 5'9" now, but I believe somewhere in the 5'9"-5'10" range at one point in his life. I'll man up and say he's not 5'10.5" nor 5'10.75" and never was. I was wrong on that.
Yes, he did give illusions of a 5'11" man who is even taller with his lifts from about 2004-2007 to me, but maybe that was his weight gain that made him seem bigger overall.
And back to Jackie Stallone's height. Who said she was actually 5'6"? I said that was the only listing that came up and even that was hard to find. I said there's basically no evidence to give her ANY height. So you giving her 5'4" because you see 4.5" between her and Sly and that would fit your estimate is nothing short of ridiculous.
Just admit it, that photo with his mother is worthless as of now because we have no idea how tall she is or was. Brad says on 5/Nov/09
You got Sly right at 5' 8.5", Cruise is a tad shorter with G Volvo'd at 5' 7". Danimal says on 5/Nov/09
Brad says on 5/Nov/09
Caan has never been 5' 9" since Nixon was in office. What kid of idiot thinks Mama Stallone is 5' 6"?, that would make Sly in G actualized guessed height. Rising still has that over 5' 10" agenda for this guy who has never been over 5' 9" in his life. Cruise is 5' 8" in military, Stallone 5' 9" in his "effect". Hey Burby I got great G tales that can't be printed here. I'm sure Rob has some also. We should be glad he's gone, and not just for his ridiculous height affirmations of green cheese on the moon like Willis and Sly & himself...GC had mas grande problemas.
Cruise is 5'7" in military posture and Sly 1-1.5" taller. Brad says on 5/Nov/09
I'd market NYC sandals for those who are 5' 6" or under who are doing scenes with Sly. Woody sandals would be fine, Farrell mocassins too. Downey Jr. can buy some Morristown Bronx Portmans, hopefully a dark color. burby says on 5/Nov/09
Saw Copland again yesterday, guess what I saw? An under 5'9" Stallone. Maybe Harvey Keitel is 5'9"? I can't believe there are people here who think this guy is 5'10", especially after that Rome photo with Sly in regular shoes. Maybe Jen really was in NYC sandals....... Don says on 5/Nov/09
Well Sheen is slouching in the first two pictures and even with the slouch, he doesn't seem all that much shorter than sly really. Third picture is not a good one as sheen is pretty much bending forward.
I could see sheen being roughly sly's height or maybe a tad bit shorter if he straightens out making him 5'10, assuming he's wearing normal footwear. Sheen's hardly known as a lift wearer so that's probably the case. That being said, sly's probably got at least an inch on sheen in footwear anyway but we will never know. Brad says on 5/Nov/09
Caan has never been 5' 9" since Nixon was in office. What kid of idiot thinks Mama Stallone is 5' 6"?, that would make Sly in G actualized guessed height. Rising still has that over 5' 10" agenda for this guy who has never been over 5' 9" in his life. Cruise is 5' 8" in military, Stallone 5' 9" in his "effect".

He looks taller than Sheen in the pictures, and I know a lot of you will shout 'lifts', but reading what people say about lifts on this site, I sometimes think some people think Stallone and Cruise are the same height as Devito and wear 12 inch lifts to disguise it haha!!
5'9 barefoot for Sly is a realistic and sensible estimation. 5'7 is even more ludicrous than 5'11 in my opinion. Aleks says on 4/Nov/09
Caan looked 5-10 in The Godfather. But again, it could be the footwear. Midget says on 4/Nov/09
I watched an early sly movie yesterday, "Over The Top", and to me he never looked over 5'8"-5'8.5" plus boots in every scene.He was much smaller than most other male actors in the film. Defenitely not over 5'9". RisingForce says on 4/Nov/09
See, exactly what I'm talking about. Brad just magically gives Jackie Stallone a height of 5'4" to fit his agenda.
And as far as Flavin's height. It's true that women might lie, but Kate Moss(at 5'4"-5'5") would certainly have more incentive to lie than Flavin who regardless of her exact height is quite a bit taller than Moss. derek d says on 4/Nov/09
One thing that always struck me was Sly's 5'10 claim. I mean most celebrities who are even a little self conscious about their height will lie and add AT LEAST 2 inches to their height. This usually goes for 5'7 to 5'10 men and I can name a hand full that are taller than 6 ft. Sly is probably the most self conscious of them all, so why would he just push up his height one inch in his claim? burby says on 4/Nov/09

That's not 5'9" next to his son. Sorry if Glenn didn't meet him, but Brad did. Brad says on 4/Nov/09
Jackie Stallone has never been over 5' 4" in her life. 5' 6" is a laugher. Sly was a solid 5' 8.5" next to her barefoot. Stop wasting your time with the Sly is over 5' 9". He got burnt in Rome and on the beach. Riser was a "yer right G" guy for years. A Portmanized 5' 6.5"er thinking Sly is 1/4" under 5' 11" was what we had as the expert height witness. vaj says on 4/Nov/09
Zach thanks for previous comments I have been very busy at work so I don't get to get on here as much. The pic's from Rome clearly proofs he is NOT 5'10", 5’10.5", 5’11", 6’, 6’1" as posted about his height. If you are not blind the Rome pictures prove he was shorter than his 5'9 wife! He was caught trying on regular shoes next to his wife in sandals. I guess that also prove G's was wrong when you claimed Sly being 5'11" in sandals in one of his pic's. Zach says on 4/Nov/09
Two very good points Mickey. Flavin was a model, the usual female range for which being 5'8-5'11. In the modelling field, the taller the better. If you were a male model you'd rather be 6'1 than 5'11, even though both are above average height.
And since we are using extremely weak evidence, sure lets use Glenn's estimates for Flavin. Glenn said she was 'around his height' and 'between 5'7-9'. So clutching at what is now a handful of straws, Flavin is somewhere between 5'6.75 and 5'9.5 not saying she is but its just plain silly to rule anything in that range out. In fact lets be fair about this and use the midpoint. Flavin is 5'8.125 based on all the evidence we have. Settled. Brad says on 4/Nov/09
Zach attack on the Riser. Imagine G here now, he'd be crying in his cocoa puffs "I seen him 20 times, sob, in awl types of footware, and I prooved it with my photos at 5' 8", sob, he's 5' 10.5" lowest at over 60 years old sob, Flavin owned me by 1.5". I hear he said he was busy on April 9th 2010. Sal, the Volvo. Annoyed says on 4/Nov/09
Flavin is 5'9" in my opinion. Mickey says on 3/Nov/09
Well she did used TO BE A MODEL, Kate Moss claimed 5'6" for years and we know she is 5'4"-5'5". Saying Jennifer looks tall is pretty irrelevant as the only person to compare her too is Sly most of the time. You could say she has tall proportions but so does Kylie Monique who is 5'1" or so.
And who is to say she isn't shorter than 5'9"? Glenn said he saw her at 5'7" if i remember correctly, not saying she is. She could be 5'8.5" and rounded it up a whole inch. The whole "specific height figure must be true" theory is bogus to me as i could say im 5'9.72." and that would be true(which it isn't).
Even with all that, she was noticably taller then Sly at Rome, she really did make Sly looks 5'7ish factoring in his slight shoe advantage and her posture compared to his. Showing me mid-stride pictures on a sloping beach is not going to sway me. But these are my views anyway. Brad says on 3/Nov/09
To those who were not here in '06, there were lots of people who accepted the height expert ("I seen him in all types of footwear 20 times, he's 5' 10.75" who have you met your postman?") G and his crew of "He's over 5' 10"". Rome and beach photos just nail what Frank2 saw: under 5' 9" or 5' 9" in military effect. RisingForce says on 3/Nov/09
One thing I find funny is whenever I say something here it's because I'm a "delusional fanboy", but if someone else says it then nobody cares. for example, Bam ALSO said he thought Flavin was 5-9.5. Did anyone call him ridiculous? Did anyone say he was grasping at straws or did anyone say he was a fanboy? Nope. Why? When I say that I get those reactions.
Here's an even better(and funnier) example. Many of you, particularly Zach, love to say I have an agenda. But yet, when Brad CLEARLY twists things to fit a 5'8.5" Sly. You stay silent. Why? Because you agree with his figure.
Remember when Brad was constantly using the barefoot picture of Sly with his mother? He just pulled a 5'4" figure out of nowhere for Jackie Stallone because it fit his 5'8.5" belief. Except one problem. Not only were there no pictures of jackie standing with known celebs for a reference to her height, but she was also NEVER listed at 5'4". In fact the ONE listing that did come up was in a People Magazine article that Leonari found that had her at 5'6".
Except Zach and the rest were silent, rather than calling Brad out about his obvious agenda, nobody said a word. Which makes it obvious that it's ok to have an agenda as long as it fits your belief.
I'll give Danimal credit though, he was consistent and has called out Brad for having an agenda as well on the Cruise page. And I'll give Mickey credit as well. Rather than reacting like Zach did, he merely asked he to explain my opinion. Which is exactly how these debates should go.
Another good example was recently when Burby tried to twist the pictures of Sly and Glenn into evidence that he's 5'8.5" and when I pointed out the flaws in that(one being that Glenn's height is up for debate and it's not proven he's as low as 5'6.5") and another being that the difference between the 2 was about 2.5", something that Rob agreed on. When I pointed that out, a few said "That shows how desperate you are, using the Glenn pictures to support your argument that he's 5'9"-5'10". The problem was that I wasn't using that as any kind of proof, just pointing out that he didn't look 5'8.5" in the pictures either. Yet I'm called out and not Burby who was using the pictures to support his argument.
I'd love to see someone claim there are no double standards. I admit, that really use to get under my skin, but after seeing how blatant it is, I honestly find it funny. I'm predicting that Zach will use his favorite "essay" comment referring to my long post, or something similar. If I bother any of you that much then just ignore my comments. RisingForce says on 3/Nov/09
Hahah, when did I say beach photos are GREAT evidence, Anonymous? I said they're one of the few times we see Sly barefoot and they shouldn't just be ignored. I don't ignore evidence anonymous. I said that he looks 5'8.5" in those Rome pictures, and read my other post, I said that he could be that low these days. But keep reaching. And how is "inflating" Jennifer to 5-9.5 ridiculous? A half inch higher than you have her is ridiculous? Ok buddy that makes sense.
Except for one difference, Zach. Jennifer at 5-9ish is a woman WELL over average height for a woman(which is 5'3.5" give or take). That's equal to a 6-2ish man. Whether Sly is 5'8", 5'9" or 5'10" we know he's a man who is a modest height, particularly for an action star and he's clearly bothered by that fact. His incentive to deceive people about his height is far greater.
Yeah, she's listed at 5-9 across the net, but guess what? Most of the listings originate at I M D B. Watch when someone is listed at something on that site, most other sites follow that listing. I noticed this twice with 2 of Brad Pitt's listings at I M D B. When he was listed at 5-10.75, many other sites listed him at that, same thing when he was changed to 5-11.5. I pointed that out before, but you ignored that or didn't see it. The 5-9.5 figure was printed in an actual newspaper atleast. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, but to act like it's crazy is nonsensical.
And 3 years? It's November 2009 right now, I didn't start posting on the Sly page regularly until shortly before Glenn was first banned which iirc was in June or July 2008. So I've probably been posting on this page for a year and half and not that often until Glenn's first ban. I first starting posting on this site on some heavy metal musicians pages about 2 years ago. I changed my estimate for Sly about a year after I started posting here regularly.
How is saying Caan is around 5'9" upgrading? You downgraders are absolutely ridiculous. Caan is listed at 5'9" here, he's taller than 5'8" Mark Wahlberg on the golf course and he held his own with Bruce Willis and Arnie at the Rocky Balboa premiere. Glenn never saw Caan in person, he just always thought he was 5'8". And I love how you ignore Glenn's estimates when they're too high for you and you mock his estimates constantly, but when one of them fits your agenda you gladly use it.
You can't have it both ways, either his estimates are reliable to you or they're not. Either he can judge height or he can't. Besides here's what Glenn said on the Caan page, note the part where he said that he never met him.
Glenn says on 30/Jul/06
Never met him.but can look between 5-7 and 5-10.people I do know that met him say 5-8.no doubt he is on the short side.5-7 minimum. Don says on 3/Nov/09
"Plus I tend to think that such a specific figure may come from somewhere." So THAT's why you were pushing for our boy sly at 5'10.75 for the longest time. It all makes sense now. I mean it MUST come from somewhere right, lol.
What makes you suppose that we think Flavin is 5'9 with 100% conviction? We are just going by what she's listed at in 90% of sites out there, which is the most logical thing to do at this point as we are devoid of pictures that show her standing straight with conclusive footwear beside someone other than sly. Whether she's 5'9 or not, she's well above average height for a woman so she has no reason to fudge her height unlike our boy here. It makes plenty of more sense than you using your gorilla math, adding and subtracting inches as you please and spitting out 5'9.5 out of left field.
"Once again, I think 5'9.5" is believable for several reasons. She looks tall even to be that height" She looks tall in flat sandals...next to sly. I would look like andre the giant next to danny devito. A girl who is 5'6+ and up would look tall in heels in any picture. What is more ridiculous is your basis for thinking that flavin's 5'9.5; bringing up bridgette nielson out of left field, see how stallone roughly measures up to her even though there exists no picture that shows both of them standing straight with clear footwear. Then comparing that so called measurement with how flavin mesaures up. At least you have a ton of imagination. But anything to bump up sly's height right?
As Rob G said, even if flavin is 5'9.5 that doesn't change much from how sly measured up with her in rome. But you will probably cry your usual "oh but it's just 1 PICTURE" and prepare a thesis to bump flavin to 5'10. Nothing would shock me though. After all here's a guy who rallied for 5'10.75 for sly the longest time and even teammed with glenn trying to convince posters that sly claims his "night height" of 5'10. Anonymous says on 3/Nov/09
Correctomundo Dejavu. Rising inflating Flavin to 5'9.5" is ridiculous. Rising ignores great evidence, but yet suggests horrible beach photos of sly and flavin are GREAT evidence just to solidify his near 5'10" sly claim. Rob G says on 3/Nov/09
Even if Flavin is indeed 5'9.5" that still doesn't change much (see Rome pictures). Sly is clearly shorter than her, he is no taller than 5'9". RisingForce says on 3/Nov/09
It's funny because I could say the same thing. I could say that you say she's 5'9" instead of 5'9.5" to downgrade his height. There's no more evidence that shes 5'9" than 5'9.5".
Once again, I think 5'9.5" is believable for several reasons. She looks tall even to be that height and if she's already close enough to 5'9" why would she bump her height by a half inch? Plus I tend to think that such a specific figure may come from somewhere. Just like Marlon Brando being listed as 5'8 3/4" in a biography(which caused Rob to downgrade him to that). So it's not just me who thinks that such specific figures may come from somewhere.
I think the fairest thing would be to give her a range of 5'9"-5'9.5" for now, but ruling out 5'9.5" makes zero sense to me. Zach says on 3/Nov/09
RisingForce says on 2/Nov/09
it's such a specific figure for height and weight that it was likely her claim.
Isn't that the same excuse you gave when you and Glenn tried to push the bizarre 'Sly is 5'10.75 cos it so specific' campaign day and night for three years?? Every result on the net says Flavin is 5'9. One aberrant one says 5'9.5 and bingo, latest straw to clutch at to make Sly seem taller. Brad says on 3/Nov/09
Caan hasn't been 5' 9" in decades. Yes Zach, if G were here he'd be laughed off this site with his 5' 10.75". Explain the beach photo. "Jennifah is much tallah den 5' 9", she was tallah dan me by 3 inches". Here's a cookie G, Fred Durst will be out in 2 hours. burby says on 3/Nov/09
Rising also thinks Caan is 5'9" in order to push up the height for Stallone. Both Brad and Glenn saw him at 5'8". Caan had some serious heel action in the movie Thief. DejaVu says on 2/Nov/09
Rising thinks Jennifer is 5'9.5 in order to push up the height for Sylvester Stallone. Zach says on 2/Nov/09
If Sly is 5'10.75 surely Jennifer Flavin is a 6 footer? 5'11 at least. Don says on 2/Nov/09
There is really no valid reason for thinking flavin is 5'9.5 over 5'9 unless you want to bump up sly's height which is in some people's agenda obviously. I mean based on what proof are some of you willing to give her that extra 0.5 inch?
A vast majority of her pics are with sly whose height is the biggest mystery in the world, or with her in inconclusive (in terms height) heels on so there is no distinct clear cut way of judging that she's 5'9.5 instead of 5'9. hell, she might even shrink more than that throughout the day. Barefoot beach pics are not reliable due to uneven ground level, as mentioned ten million times already. Take a walk on the beach with a person close to your height and you will see exactly what i mean. Neither are walking pics of any kind. RisingForce says on 2/Nov/09
A few reasons Mickey. As Bam pointed out, it's such a specific figure for height and weight that it was likely her claim. It seems odd for an obviously tall woman to begin with to claim such a specific figure.
And how is me giving her 5'9.5", any different than others here assuming she's just 5'9"? But unfortunately, you're right, there isn't much good evidence on her height. I saw a picture of her with James Caan who I feel is about 5'9" these days, but we couldn't see how big her heels and his shoes were. If there are more from that series then maybe that could give us a reference to start. But I'd also imagine her being taller than Katie Holmes for example(listed here at 5'9"). And she seems taller compared to Sly than 5'8"-5'8.5" Sharon Stone. And if you compare what Sly looked like next to 6-0ish Brigitte Nielsen then 5-9.5 for Flavin isn't that hard to believe. It seems that at a lot of events Sly was looking similar to Nielsen who I think rarely wore heels and it seems that Sly is usually similar to Flavin at events when she's in heels.
I'm not giving her 5-9.5 as a confirmed height, don't get me wrong, but it makes atleast as much sense to me as 5-9. Mickey says on 2/Nov/09
Rising may i ask why you think Jennifer is 5'9.5"? She is never really pictured with anyone else but Sly and/or is wearing decent heels. Even in her pics with Arnie she is wearing heels and we don't know if Arnie is packing lifts, he height is also widely disputed nowadays too. Don't tell me because one article on the net claimed that height, she used to be a model, they always bump up their heights. Even if multiple articles claimed that height, they have been many articles saying Sly is 5'7-5'8", doesn't mean its true. Brad says on 2/Nov/09
Damon the same height as Pitt & Clooney is as bad as G saying he is 5' 8" or Sly is 5' 10.75" or Willis is 6' 1". File under Sean Penn's smirk with Emile Hirsch. "The worst time". He was so free that day in that Volvo reading his magazines and having Sal deliver the bags of fries n shakes it isn't funny. Hey Joey I got 4, dats right four! signed Fred Durst baseball caps for ya. I only wanted 2 hours diss time in da dwizzle. George The Animal Steele tongue out face. Stallone 5 feet 8 and a half: bank it. Brad says on 1/Nov/09
Imagine Rising saying he could be as low as 5' 8.5" 3 years ago, freaking G would be crying on his way in the drizzle to stand 3 hours waiting for Fred Durst to sign a red baseball cap. Put him on a beach with his 5' 9" wife and the gig is up. burby says on 1/Nov/09
Yeah, Rob picked the worst time imaginable - how dare he!. The Rome shots hurt Sly, and some here want to upgrade Jens height. Going by a beach photo on the sand? Damon almost the same size as Clooney and Pitt? That does not compute, like Gs Colin Farrell 5'11" estimate. Brad says on 1/Nov/09
G said 1/4" shy of 5' 11", he's the height expert. He never prooved, er proved it. Sal, remember the Big Mac by 4. RisingForce says on 1/Nov/09
When did I doubt Damon's height? I simply said that at worst he could be 5'9.5" or a weak 5'10". I still have him at 5'10", but I'm not going to pretend like I have him nailed to that last half inch with 100% certainty.
I agree with Parker, except if anything, I saw Sly a half inch taller in the beach photo with Flavin. And he could be as low as 5'8.5"-5'9" IMO now at 63 yrs. old. But definitely taller IMO when he was younger and he made Rocky 3. And I agree with Bam, I think Flavin is more like 5'9.5". Parker says on 1/Nov/09
Murdock says on 31/Oct/09
Sly was 5'7" flat.
Ridiculous. Look at the beach photo's with his 5'9 wife. He's her height or at most a 1/2 inch shorter. 5'9 is fair listing for Sly, he may be 5'81/2 now in his 60's, but no way as low as 5'7. Murdock says on 31/Oct/09
Sly was 5'7" flat. The only way he could have looked 5'10" or so was in lifts. Some stars wildly exaggerate their height. burby says on 31/Oct/09
Gee, now even Rising is doubting 5'10" for Damon. So much for "Rob" having him "nailed", more like Matt nailing the G man to a crucifix with the Bourne booties. Redford and Clooney look down on Matt when he doesn't have the lifts on. Don Cheadle has never been 5'8" in his life, he is yet another lift wearer. That Clooney shot was funny. bam says on 31/Oct/09
i see damon at 5'10 or really close to it. Clooney and Pitt are all over the place. Cheadle claims 5'8.5 (because he is) so that makes damon 5'10.

cmn just look at the guy in shower scene with sharon stone in specialist(or was it sliver) was exactly the same height as her and she is said that she is 5-7 so this guy has to be only 5-7
Are you blind? For a start Sharon Stone is 5 ft 8 (and claims 5'8.5") and Stallone was taller than her. Brad says on 31/Oct/09
Box work with Cooney. That's a classic Sly shot. The 5' 8.5"er getting destroyed by by a 6' 6", like me. I'm sure Sly did it for fun. Clooney did it for an Esquire shot with a 6' model but showed it for fun. Yes Burby, sometimes I think yer me, that's 100% correct. At 5' 6.5" G got owned by every single male celeb except the shrimps. He made Colin, Woody, Damon, look taller than they are with that reality height and 5' 8" listed as the G height under his pictures. derek d says on 31/Oct/09

The G said 1/4" from 5' 11". Hey Burby, I woulda loved ya here in '06. I still think yer Vaj homes. You woulda been thrown off here also saying G was 5' 7" and then 1/2" under in photos. The G, long gone but still the celeb height. burby says on 30/Oct/09
Correct Dural. Damon is a cover-up, sort of like Colin Farrell. Damon is a big time boot/custom dress shoe/custom sneaker guy, Colin is like Kurt Russell and Billy Bob, a custom cowboy boot with lifts kinda guy. No media outlet really is going to cover it, they would rather cover Cruise or Sly on the shoe lift front. There is no way Damon, Farrell, and Sly are 5'10". Brad says on 30/Oct/09
If Damon was 5' 10" he'd own Cheadle with ease. If Damon were 5' 6.75" at 11 P.M. he'd own Glenn no shoes on each. Aleks says on 30/Oct/09
The height difference between DiCaprio and Damon is huge in The Departed. RisingForce says on 30/Oct/09
I saw 1.5" between Damon and Cheadle. Cheadle is 5'8" in my opinion, perhaps a hair over. That'd make Damon 5'9.5" maybe a weak 5'10". Dural says on 30/Oct/09
If Damon is 5'10", then Cheadle must be about 5'9", which he isn't. Even if he had normal shoes on instead of boots with Glenn, he wouldn't look 5'10". Brad says on 30/Oct/09
Damon wears lifts because he is 5' 8". Check out his Bourne booties or the shot with Glenn where he had on whoppers. If he were 5' 10" he'd be even with Clooney/Pitt/Redford. He never is. He's always the shorter guy with 5' 10"ers. Sly has the big wedges inside. I pulled some low cut Lugz boots off a rack yesterday, they had 2" easy with room for a 1/2" inside. I don't want to think what Sly gets for 2K with similar boots with a giant wedge and not low cut.3.5" easy. Shaun says on 30/Oct/09
5'7" for Stallone is BS. Watch him training on Youtube. He is wearing sneakers which I doubt give him much of a lift, not the 3-4 inches people talk about here anyway and he clearly looks inches taller than his trainer Gunnar Petersen, Now I don't know how tall Petersen is but I don't think he is a short man. Stallone looked a decent height in comparison, he really looks a legit 5'9" in comparison, he does look 5'10" at times and reaches 5'11 in his regular lifts. The barefoot pictures with NO shoes prove he is around 5'9" for real. Remember Stallone is obsessed with self improvement and improving his body as much as possible as he "believes it is the step to make to improving yourself, making yourself better than you were the day before". Now if he cares so much about improving himself, this is why I think he wears lifts to look as tall as he possibly can as he believes it is an "improvement". Something tells me though with Sly even if he was 6'2" legit he'd still wear lifts as 6'4" is better. But I honestly think Stallone is close to a legit 5'9". Ego boosting though dictates this is too short for him though, hence the height complex. Most average height men at 5'9" don't resort to measures to boost their height. I just think with Stallone the taller the better in his view and he is not content with his natural height as he can't do much to change it so resorts to lifts to feel better about himself. drak avenger says on 30/Oct/09
cmn just look at the guy in shower scene with sharon stone in specialist(or was it sliver) was exactly the same height as her and she is said that she is 5-7 so this guy has to be only 5-7 bam says on 29/Oct/09
brad, what makes you think damon wears lifts? He looks like a legit 5'10 guy who can look pushing 5'11 with his good posture. Zach says on 29/Oct/09
derek d says on 29/Oct/09
Honestly I feel when his legs look shorter then normal at events, its most likely cause his lifts are much "smaller" than usual. I don't think he is ever truly lift less unless he's barefoot. Give it 0.5 inches to 1.5 inches, he always has some sort of advantage. And the whole 3 - 4 gain in height argument, I think Sly's shoes might be up there with Downey's. The difference between them two is Downey actually wants people to notice his shoes, he likes the attention and is open about his height.
100% agree. Sly probably hasnt got as much elevation in Italy as he gets from his munsters, from elevators on golf courses to heels on football (soccer) pitches, from climbing pipes with heels, to street fights in Rocky 5 Sly almost always has some level of elevation. Good point about Downey as well, what colour were his absurd elevators, bright pink I recall? The guys nuts.
Nobody is as paranoid or has worn elevators for as long as Sly. Nobody. Thats why he clearly has the best around. Brad says on 29/Oct/09
Sly's wife meets him on the beach in barefeet and they are almost the same height. Seriously, are there people here who think Sly is 5' 10" or above? The G said 5' 10.75", he was the height expert til people found out he wore big boots and measured 5' 7" at wake-up. Anonymous says on 29/Oct/09
he probably is parker, tom cruise is a lift wearer just like sly,brad pitt, and other height conscious basterds in hollywood. RisingForce says on 29/Oct/09
If Cruise is getting 2"-2.25" over barefoot then he's doing a truly great job there, Parker.
I don't see why Downey would want people to know he's a short man who wears massive shoes, Derek. That would make zero sense. And what about Brando and Burt Reynolds? Parker says on 29/Oct/09
One poster told me Cruise was wearing hidden 3 inch lifts here
Click Here derek d says on 29/Oct/09
RisingForce says on 27/Oct/09 I'd guess that when Sly is playing golf or wearing normal looking dress shoes and his legs look shorter than normal, then he's likely liftless. I'd also guess that when Sly is wearing big boots or chunky, unusual looking shoes and his legs look to be in proportion to his torso that he's wearing lifts.

Those Bourne booties, especially the great shot with him and the director, look like black bricks attached to his feet. Yeah, and I saw da top of Penn's head...meanwhile Penn makes Emile look like a child with G barely taller than Emile. Imagine standing on your toes with Sly in sandals and getting owned that bad....the G and listed at 5' 8" in that shot in '06. He loved it, and the Volvo, Sal's burger runs, I'm busy that set of days (said 6 months before) vwwwwwarry buzzee (Elmer Fudd voice). Downey Jr. raided Madonna's footwear room for those suckers...but can he dance in them? ACG says on 29/Oct/09
Brad says on 29/Oct/09
5' 10" is ridiculous.
My point is that you probably would've also said Tom Cruise at 5'8 is "ridiculous" before you encountered him.
I'm not going to argue with you any further, but I truly hope that for this board's sake, you meet Sly in his bare feet someday. Ditto Damon. burby says on 29/Oct/09
Glenn said Matt Damon had on a "workmans boot" AKA a Bourne bootie. Colin had on a moccasin, Woody had a "sandal", just like Sly had a "sandal" AKA the NYC kind. Maybe Emile was standing on a fire hydrant when the pic was snapped. RisingForce says on 29/Oct/09
Yeah, I personally don't understand it, Parker. When you start talking about a 4inch gain or close to it, these are the shoes that come to mind. Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Now, Downey may be a bad example because his shoes are always embarrassingly obvious, but Burt Reynolds used the same shokemaker as Sly and yet his shoes were always far more noticeable. And then you have Marlon Brando who was filthy rich and a legend, he could have anyone make him the best shoes. Look how unnatural his height looks and how massive his shoes are in the front and back.
Compare that to Sly's typical elevators from recent years. Click Here Click Here Brad says on 29/Oct/09
5' 10" is ridiculous. Cruise and Stallone have similar posture, they add height. I'd probably be surprised how tall Stallone was till I saw the customs and military stance. At 5' 8.5" Sly wears customs, real expensive ones. The garbage Damon had on with G musta been huge, I think G said they were some sort of boot. Parker says on 29/Oct/09
Rising - couldn't agree more with you on footwear. To a lesser extent same on the Cruise page, to suggest Stallone and Cruise walk around in shoes giving them a 3 inch lift with a flat heel and sole is ludicrous. ACG says on 29/Oct/09
Brad, I agree with you that Tom is at least 5'8, but don't you think you're being a little stubborn with the likes of Stallone and co.??
You see, you yourself have admitted in the past that when you met Cruise, you were expecting 5'7 max, but were surprised to see he was a strong 5'8 min.
Since you've never met Stallone, could you possibly open up to the prospect that Sly could be around 5'10" or so? Same goes with the other celebs you've never met such as Matt Damon, Mel Gibson, etc...
It seems when you actually see a celeb in the flesh(case in point: Cruise), your height listing is spot-on.
I believe your opinion on Stallone's height would change drastically if you were to encounter him irl. Brad says on 28/Oct/09
Those fake fronts clowny customs are beautiful for the big slope 3" wedges. RisingForce says on 27/Oct/09
Honestly, I don't get the whole fake front claim. Those dress shoes simply look like normal dress shoes to me. I think there's a good chance he was liftless and if I had to guess, I'd guess he was. Before anyone says "you can't see inside his shoes" that's 100% right, I'm merely guessing. Just like the people here who act like they know what Sly has in those dress shoes. In my opinion, all of this "fake front" stuff and examining his golf shoes looking for anything you could interpret as lifts is a bit of a witch hunt. And before anyone gets bent out of shape, that's just my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I'd guess that when Sly is playing golf or wearing normal looking dress shoes and his legs look shorter than normal, then he's likely liftless. I'd also guess that when Sly is wearing big boots or chunky, unusual looking shoes and his legs look to be in proportion to his torso that he's wearing lifts.
And I have to laugh at the desperate attempts to try to make Matt Damon seem like some big lift wearer like Stallone. I get why people think Stallone is always in lifts no matter what, and that's because 95% of the time, he is. But Damon? His shoes don't look particularly big most of the time, his height doesn't fluctuate much and I haven't read any reports of him wearing lifts. Parker says on 27/Oct/09
I think we can put to bed the Sly at 5'7 claims after the beach pics with his wife. He looks around the same height as her. I'd go with the 5'9 Rob has him listed at, he's not that far off. Though how he gets to look over 6' at time I don't know, as I agree with Rising and doubt he's getting over 3 inches from his footwear. Stuffing 3* 1 inch lifts into a tennis shoe is not going to give you 3 inches in height, as Rob eloquently points out in his lifts and heel height articles.
These give 3 inches
Click Here bam says on 27/Oct/09
i think flavin is 5'9.5. So stallone would be 5'9 flat. Thats the absolute
max he could really be at least taking the rome picture into account. derek d says on 27/Oct/09
Click Here
I'm just curious, are those even normal shoes Sly's trying on in this Rome picture? H.M. Murdock says on 27/Oct/09
I'm gonna agree with the 67 inches remark. Sly wore elevator shoes because obviously he was sensitive about his height. RisingForce says on 26/Oct/09
I don't why everyone ignores when I say that he could just as well be 5'9" flat. I'm not say he's defintley 5'10" or even that tall, I'm saying somwhere between 5'9" and 5'10".
And it's not the brand of lifts, it's the angle my foot was at. Same as a woman's heel. Picture this, Sly fitting a 4 inch platform woman's high heel in his boot. That's what saying he could gain 4 inches from is like. IF you want to believe he can get that much then fine, you're entitled to your beliefs like I am. I'm not going to try to talk you out of that. But I also think 3 inches is about as much as Sly gets.
Never once did I say there's absolutely no way he gets more than 3"/3.25", I may have said that with his dress shoes and I stand by that statement that he wouldn't even get 3" with those shoes, but I never once said there was absolutely no way he gets over 3 out of his normal elevators, I just said I doubt it.
My beliefs being well known is different than making it sound like I'm saying I'm 100% right and there's no way I'm wrong. I don't know enough about his big elevators to say that. I do however think it's common sense(atleast IMO) that there's no way he gets that out of normal dress shoes.
I'm not saying my opinion is better than yours either. I'm just stating what I believe. When I see shoes that I believe may get 4"(I can recall 3 actors) those look even bigger than Sly's. I'm referring to Burt Reynolds in Gator, Marlon Brando in The Freshman and Robert Downey Jr. on the Iron Man 2 set as well as a couple of premieres. IMO those seem to exceed what Sly wears.
And regarding the Rome picture, what I meant was that this seems to be the one of those photos with conditions that are good for judging height. Click Here Perhaps I should have made that more clear though. burby says on 26/Oct/09

I guess the wiz shoemakers were working double overtime. How do you walk in those things? I guess you just lift your leg up and hope for the best. Don says on 25/Oct/09
Rising,
Misquote? Maybe I didn’t quote you verbatim but there is no way that i took your statement out of context. it's a well established fact here that you do NOT believe that non platforms can get you more than 3 inches so i don't think the readers here would have interpreted my statement any differently.
secondly, my point with my previous post is that it is easily possible to gain 3 plus inches from stuffing insoles on high topped tennis shoes alone. I have seen the show that produced the aforementioned pics and he was walking JUST FINE with them while looking natural. and as you know, sly's shoes come in various shape and sizes for ease of putting insoles in and you would be naive to have a staunch belief that you can't gain more than 3 inches by experimenting with one brand of lifts.
would i be making of an assumption when i say that sly can get 4 inches from non platforms? sure, but I don’t see how my thought process is any different that from your assumption that you can't get more than 3 inches. Afterall, we are in level playing field here, thinking hypothetically.
Besides how else would a guy measure up to 6'1 ish with "non platforms" when he barely looks like he's 5'8 with his wife in Rome and AT MOST 5’9 in plenty of pictures? only possible answer for YOU is that sly has to be 5'10 + 3 inch lifts although majority of the posters outside you here somehow don’t seem to believe that. Strange isn’t it? Are we all sly haters? Personally I could care less if the man is 5’5 or 6 feet. I just write my posts as based on what I objectively see.
Finally, i don't know where you get the idea of saying that there is only one picture of him shoe shopping in rome because there is a different angle of that picture showing the same result and another picture showing sly at most as tall as flavin

those pictures are FAR from fluke and provide far better evidence than your hypothetical '3 inch lifts so he must be 5'10' stuff that you post on here. Enrique says on 25/Oct/09

Correct derek d, Sly can custom out a golf shoe, he has the 2 Grand, he can get a mini-boost and still have full mobility. The only way Jack can be 5'9" is if we get Dr. Emmett Brown to fire up that DeLorean. Who have you met, Marty McFly? Vegas says on 24/Oct/09

Don is right. Zach says on 23/Oct/09
Don good post. I've long said that Stallone's footwear give a lot more than the regular off the shelf elevators that can be found online. He's clearly been having tailor made elevators for several decades now.
Mickey posted a good picture from Japan a while back if I recall correctly where a low camera shot showed how Stallone's boots incorporated a 'stealth' platform as Brad would call them. If you look carefully at his regular munsters Click Here there's at least an inch thick platform going all the way across.
Regardless, a platform doesnt necessarily have to be visible to prove that it is there and given that Sly has been getting elevator footwear tailor made for several decades now its no surprise his footwear continually add more height whilst getting less and less conspicuous. Brad says on 23/Oct/09
Sly has custom golf shoes & Jack hasn't been 5' 9" since being photographed with McGovern in '72. 3"+ is easy. 1.5" heel, 1.5"+ wedge. Sly does it all the time. He's never been over 5' 9" in his life. derek d says on 23/Oct/09
burby says on 22/Oct/09
Sly in his custom golf shoe whoppers. Notice his ankle, it's elevated. Extra "padding" 2" boost.
Click Here
Burby, I've never noticed his ankle popping out like that before. Good find. All the people who dismissed the possibility of Sly wearing lifts on the golf field were wrong. He apparently does wear custom made golf shoes or at least inserts lifts into them even though they don't seem to be more than 2 ish inches. RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
And Don, when did I say there's absolutely no way he can gain more than 3" without platforms. Nice job misquoting me, I said I'm a strong believer that he can't get more than 3"/3.25" without platforms. I said there's no way he'd get that much out of dress shoes though. And I'm sure I'm not alone in those beliefs. RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
Don, it's not just speculation. I tried myself. I have a pair of thick boots that I always wore to work, especially when I'd be stepping around nails, that's how thick they were. I put lifts inside them and I was almost falling out of them and boots were so full that they looked like boats. I was getting about 3". And these boots are pretty thick in the front and back. I'll post a demonstration within the next few days when I get a chance.
Read Rob's heel height section and elevator shoe section. Every heel that gives over 3" has a noticeable platform on it. Why do you think that is? Because the angle 3 inches puts your foot at is so steep that you need a platform to for anything more.
And to address your statement a while back that it was kind of desperate to use Glenn's pictures as evidence, if you go back and read that, I'm the one who brought it up. Burby, brought it up trying to use it as evidence for Sly being 5-8ish and the pictures do not reflect that as even Rob said Sly was looking more like 5'9.5" there compared to how Jenny stood next to Glenn. I haven't brought up the Glenn pictures on my own since the car story was revealed because of all the questions, but when someone tries to use it as evidence he's 5'8" when that's not what the picture reflects(regardless of how tall he really is) then I'll argue back.
I don't ignore the Rome picture, I acknowledge he looks 5'8.5", but I also know it's one picture and one picture is not an exact measurement. Generally to me he looks more 5'9"-5'10" even when factoring in what I think his footwear adds so I believe he is or was more in that range. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm entitled to my beliefs. Rob G says on 23/Oct/09
Not over 5'9"ish for sure, back then and today. Don says on 23/Oct/09
Rising,
There you go again saying "there is absolutely no way sly can get over 3 inches without his platform/munsters so he shouldn't be less than 5'9-10" claims. With you, everything is based on hypotheticals. I am not even going to go into the rome pictures, which you deliberately seem to ignore even though they easily provide the best evidence thus far. you seem to have fondness of adding and subtracting inches at your will based on your "beliefs" which well, can be easily proven wrong really.
If you want to play the "hypothetical" card well, I have a pretty good answer to that as well. I've posted this before, and I will post it again. Click on the url below and click on the top left picture. You wil see a picture in which an asian celebrity reveals three one inch insoles inside of what looks to be your normal tennis shoes. he's getting AT LEAST 3 inches from those elevated insoles and add the 0.5 inches that he gets from the tennis shoes' soles already, and you have at least 3.5 inches of elevation, while looking much more natural than how sly usually looks like.
Click Here
therefore, you just can't tell me that sly can't gain more than 3 inches without his platforms because the picture proves that you EASILY can. sly can have his lumpy frankensteiners that already gives you more than an inch on the base, stuff three of those puppies in there, and voila, you have ur 4 inch elevation. and god only knows how far sly is taking his insoles because those munsters that he sports, platform or not, can look downright ugly and stiff.
you can strongly believe all you want, i am just showing you that your judgment based on these beliefs can be easily proven wrong. burby says on 23/Oct/09
Again, Jack is not 5'9" in those golf shots, he hasn't been 5'9" in decades, not without help. RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
Still, I did not see any platforms on his shoes on that German show. I am strong believer that without platforms you can only gain 3", maybe 3.25" over barefoot height. That's among the tallest I've seen him look where you could see his feet, as well as the Letterman appearance IMO. THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 23/Oct/09
Sly could barley walk in those Monster Munsters that he was wearing on the German show Wetten Dass. I have never seen him wear anything packing so much lift. Please check that video out again, there is a reason why they seated him behind the coffee table, and that was to hide his foot wear. Brad says on 23/Oct/09
Sly's Insane Sly Posse shoes take the cake. Damon's Bourne booties are like bricks attached to his feet. These way below 6' actors try anything to be 6'. Cruise was 5' 8", 1 foot in front of me. The G got that one. Keep in mind G is 5' 6.5" (5' 6" or less pre '94) and wears Portmans with a possible tip-toe (like with Sly). Great shots Burby. The G trying to explain how Sly is 5' 10.75" in those shots was a comedy show. In full "effect" he is a 5' 9" with a 5' 8" Jack. Look at him with Hopper. 5' 10" is a farce in that shot. RisingForce says on 23/Oct/09
I'm not talking about jeans and a t-shirt, I'm talking about this look. Click Here Or I'd think he'd atleast wear dress boots like Brad Pitt's which are not embarrassingly big.
I'm still not sure how those golf pictures suggest he's under 5'9", Burby. Jack Nicholson is 5'8.5"-5'9" himself and Sly is taller. More noticeably in the second picture you posted. And Sly has 1.5" on Hopper despite loose posture and the fact that it looks like Hopper has the tilt or ground advantage. THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 22/Oct/09
Rising, it would be very uncool for Sly to war his Munsters in Italy. He can get a way with wearing geans,tshirt and Monster Munsters at premiers in the U.S.A, but the very fashion conscious Italians would laugh him out of town in that gear.
I agree with Mickey, until I see where his ankles are in "normal shoes"I will not be convinced that he is not wearing lifts. burby says on 22/Oct/09

Bouncer, that other guy in the video is 6'4"?! Sly reaching those heights in shoes is exactly why I find it hard to believe that he's under 5'9".
Yes, Rising Force. Thomas Gottschalk, the german Moderator of the Show "Wetten Dass" is always reported as being 6'4.
He also looked only a few inches shorter when the Klitschko Brothers (6'8 and 6'6 i believe) were on Wetten Dass (btw, you can find a video on youtube too).
I guess you watched the video when Sly was on Wetten Dass and stood beside Gottschalk on the beginning. He looked about 6'1 there, only a few inches shorter than reported 6'4 Thomas Gottschalk!
Dude, that must be some lifts i can hardly believe it!! O-O burby says on 22/Oct/09
I'm making perfect sense, a below average height action star can't wear boots/dress boots/sneakers all of the time. They have to mix it up, just like everyone else. Slys massive custom shoe arsenal is bigger than that. That's just the way Sly thinks. Throw your hands in the air Rising. You are surrounded. Barely 5'8" in Rome, he got caught, BIGTIME. Parker says on 22/Oct/09

Brad says on 20/Oct/09. Cruise is 5' 8"
Metric says on 27/Sep/09
If young Glenn was 5-5.5 then Cruise is no more than 5-6.5. RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
burby, that made no sense. I asked if he could get 3 inches out of such normal looking shoes then why bother to wear huge boots and elevators so often? The Rocky Balboa premiere was a formal gathering as well and he wore some massive elevator shoes. You'd think Sly would atleast wear dress boots if he was looking to gain a lot of height in Italy instead of dress shoes. burby says on 22/Oct/09
He's getting owned by the cameras with his mass custom stealth shoes when he walks. Anyone who thinks there are toes in the front of that shoe is not right in the head, and needs to see a doctor dressed up as an astronaut. burby says on 22/Oct/09
RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
Metric, anyway you put it, a 3 inch gain out of what look like normal dress shoes is ridiculous. If Sly could get that type of height gain out of those shoes then why would he wear huge elevators/boots 24/7?
It's a formal gathering Rising, he's not going to rock Matt Damon Bourne bootie customs that Matt burned little G with. Sly can get the 3", he wasn't born yesterday, he's a millionaire X times over. Brad says on 22/Oct/09
"Demented" is correct. Yes Zach, there is nothing at his toes on the red carpet, he's got the massive customs on. Insane Sly Posse shoes I'll call them. You could put a nail in the front and his tootsies are not there. RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
Bouncer, that other guy in the video is 6'4"?! Sly reaching those heights in shoes is exactly why I find it hard to believe that he's under 5'9". RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
Zach, look at how unusually long his legs look with the brown shoes, it looks like he's getting a noticeably bigger boost there than in Italy if you look at leg length.
That's a fair statement Mickey, I'm not saying anyone should just assume they're normal shoes. I said that 1 inch lift with the 1/1.25" heels is possible, but anything more than that really seems unlikely. At the least, those are the most normal looking shoes I've see Sly wearing in years aside from the Rome picture.
Metric, anyway you put it, a 3 inch gain out of what look like normal dress shoes is ridiculous. If Sly could get that type of height gain out of those shoes then why would he wear huge elevators/boots 24/7? Mickey says on 21/Oct/09
Burby does bring up a good point about the shoe looking smooshed, it looks really thin i doubt you could fit toes in there. Reminds me of the shoes Pitt was wearing with the fake fronts. Until i see above-ankle shots of the shoes i will not be convinced they are normal shoes. Not because im anti-Sly(im not), but because Sly is seen wearing huge lifts most of the time, so that becomes the standard/default. My opinion though. Metric says on 21/Oct/09
RisingForce - with all due respect. You supported Gs DEMENTED 5-10.75 for Sly for years. You should NOT be calling anyone ridiculous!

Burby makes a good point actually. Either Sly has feet akin to something from Lord of the Rings or his shoes are suspiciously extended Click Here The angle his instep is making isn't exactly normal either.
It wouldn't be the first time he's used a well proportioned but overall larger shoe as one of his many tricks to appear taller than average Click Here lubee says on 21/Oct/09
i agree w/ danimal. Sly is 5'8 and there was no hiding that figure in Rome. He got caught w/ his hand in the cookie jar. The Sly man was finished in Rome, like G's measurements without the portmans. Bouncer says on 21/Oct/09

He must wore HUGE lifts there because he looks 6'1! Brad says on 21/Oct/09
He has the 1.5" inside, he's Sly, knowing he'd be with a very tall woman onstage. 5' 10" range is something Glenn would say in '09. A sloped 1.5" wedge is easy to build with a 1.5" heel, especially for two thousand euros. burby says on 21/Oct/09
Uhh, Rising, those are mass customs, bub. The front is smooshed cause there are no toes in there to begin with. His foot is at an "angle" shall we say? Sly can get 3", he's no fool, best stealth whoppers available. Sly and Damon have never been 5'9.5" in thir lives. That astronaut guy is a mean SOB. RisingForce says on 21/Oct/09
If he could get 3" total out of normal looking dress shoes then why would he bother wearing those 3" frankenstein elevators? Try wearing some lifts for yourself, you need a boot to conceal enough to get a 3" gain. I know, I've tried. Shaun says on 21/Oct/09
Maria Grazia Cucinotta was that seriously fit bird from World is Not Enough right in the red leather jacket? Sizzling hot. She claims 179cm I believe. Brad says on 21/Oct/09
"Maybe". Try 1.5" of beautiful Italian custom wedge and 1.5" of heel. I think Rome has been unkind to the Slyster for height, he ought to do L.A. munster action or stand by a 5' 8" G in sandals. I have to meet my astronaut. RisingForce says on 21/Oct/09
Sly in 3 inch heels? Are you kidding me, Brad? Those are max 1.25" heeled dress shoes. We have no way of knowing if he has anything inside, but 3 inch heels would look like woman's heels. That was among your most ridiculous comments.
Yes I did look at him on the beach and in the photos I posted he looked in the 5'9"-5'10" range. I can agree on 5'9", but he can look taller even when considering the lifts. Brad says on 21/Oct/09
She's just destroying him and he's in 3" heels. Look at him on the beach. Give it up over 5' 9". RisingForce says on 21/Oct/09
Uhh, Burby, he's walking, of course the front of his shoes are going to be smooshed. Those look like dress shoes with maybe a 1.25" heel at the most to me. Not particularly thick. Maybe he has an inch of lifts in there, that's possible, but that'd still put him at a solid 5'9" barefoot if that was the case. burby says on 21/Oct/09
Sly doesn't wear normal shoes.(except in the Rome shot) Look at his left foot. The front is smooshed, no foot or toes in there, they are customs of the wedged massive variety.

5-9.75? So that puts her at what? 6-1 in heels? I don't see more than a 2 inch difference between them in the pictures and that's factoring in his slight camera advantage. |
