Sylvester Stallone Height
Sylvester Stallone height: 5 ft 9 in (175 cm)

US Actor from Rocky and Rambo. "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he says: "I'm 5'10" and in 1993 NY Times said "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches". A 1978 Playboy claim, as commenter Bam pointed towards quoted Sly claiming early on that "I'm five feet ten and three quarters tall"

Cinema.com on meeting him, "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight" and pre-www, in 1990 Chicago Times was even bringing up the subject of footwear, "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist shoemaker once commented that "I made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!", although this is an exaggeration..

Another interesting quote is from famous screenwriter Goldman's book about lies stars tell. He says "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches." going on to revealing his source was someone who was also that height and jogged with Sly one morning. He then describes how he went into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and about 10 minutes later, "He (sly) got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet.".

Another quote comes from Supermodel Janice Dickenson's book 'Everything about me is fake' whom she recalls Sly tried picking her up (they were a couple for a while): "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also remarked "I couldn't believe how short he was"

Elevator Shoes may have helped him on some occasions

Just watched the recent video with Letterman again and it could be a 4" difference, thought it was 3" at first, but Letterman's posture makes it hard to pinpoint.. While he was in lifts, I think they were more modest lifts because he was wearing dress shoes which don't conceal lifts nearly as big as munsters. If they did, I doubt Sly would have brought the munsters. We know Sly's munsters are 3.75"/4", but I'd say his dress shoes with lifts would likely give him a 2"/2.25" boost over barefoot.

This looks to be around 2003 or 2004 and Sly in his munsters. Click Here I really don't see more than a 1" difference.

Which means 1 of 2 things. Sly's dress shoes/lifts were giving him 2" less than his munsters or he's lost a noticeable amount of height since 2004.

Good find, Zach. Yep, those are the munsters he wore while promoting Rambo, strange that he was wearing dress shoes for so long. After seeing Sly look taller than Arnie in pictures and then about 1" shorter on video from the same event, I'm no longer going to use pictures as great evidence in saying "well Sly looks 6'1" here in munsters" ect.

Though, I do think he looked like a 6 footer in munsters in the Letterman video from 2003/2004.

Sly does look WAY taller in this appearance than he did in the recent one. But if you pause at 0:37 seconds, he clearly looks at least 2 - 2.5 max inches shorter. If you do the math though, a at least 6'1 Letterman who is around 6'2 in dress shoes if not more, very well puts Sly at 5'11.5 - 6'0 in lifts. But no way is he only 1 inch shorter there.

johnny depp claims 5'8 and anything over that is bogus but depp is most likely taller than stallone is. 5'8 for stallone is pushing it even at his peak i don't think he was that tall and cruise is 5'6.5.


WTF are you smoking? Depp never claimed he was 5'8- or any other height, for that matter. Stallone is in the 5'10 range. It's, like, SO totally clear as day! SecureMan is spot-on with his claim. And for those who say SecureMan always upgrades everybody, just go look at the Justin Bieber page's 20/7/2010 comment. He has Justin a full 3 inches below the editor's height, so all of you folks calling "upgrading troll" on SecureMan should seriously think again.
johnjohn says on 28/Jul/10
Stallone has fooled a lot of people on this site. I know you guys don't want to believe he's 5'7-5'8, but that's the reality. I have plenty of evidence to back that up, including the comments by EVERYBODY who's actually met him, the Rome pics, the picture with Meredith, and that video with Stallone at the pool barefoot, where he just looks like a tiny little man.

And just because Stallone looked 4 inches shorter than 6'1 Letterman, doesn't mean that he's 5'9.

And just because he looked 4 inches shorter than a slouching 6'1 Carl Weathers, doesn't mean he's 5'9.

And just because, eh, you get the point.

Cruise owned the G, he's a weak 5' 8", great customs fer Cruise.
dan says on 28/Jul/10
Guy's you gotta remember he's also 64 yrs old, lol, there's no way he's the same height he was 30 yrs ago. I'd say 5'9.5 in Rocky, 5'8.5 these days.

danimal, john cleese was looking right over the top of lettermans head in the 80s, minimum 4 inches between those guys back then, letterman was never taller than 6'1 and yes he edged out arnie in the 80s rising

Well in the dress shoes he was wearing on Letterman's show, I really don't see why you'd assume he had bigger lifts on than Cruise. So in other words, Cruise is 5'8" in "effect" too because he's always in military posture? So essentially you see Sly as a very weak 5'9" and Cruise as a very weak 5'8"? Honestly, I think there'd be a bit more of a difference barefoot, Sly at a flat 5'9" and Cruise a bit above 5'7", I just can't see Cruise looking nearly as big as Sly. Hell, in munsters and standing closer to the camera with a bending 5'10.5"/5'11" Nicole Kidman in flats, he just looks about her height.

And I've seen Cruise wear some serious munsters. Click Here

These remind me of Sly's shoes at the '06 Rocky Balboa premiere. Click Here Click Here

His legs look WAY too long there.
Danimal says on 28/Jul/10
RisingForce says on 26/Jul/10
Letterman is listed at 6'1.5" here and he generally looks it. In his younger days he may have been 6'2", he looked atleast as tall as Arnold in the early 90's, if not slightly taller and Arnie WAS 6'1.5"/6'1.75".

Letterman always claimed 6'2" and has stated that his best friend growing up measured him at 6'2.5" (his morning height in his youth)... I say Letterman is about an inch shorter than he was in the 90's.. He's probably a flat 6'1" these days. Even in Sly's customs, he still looks to be 4" inches shorter than Letterman and Sly stood up as straight as he possibly could when shaking David's hand... All evidence points to a man who has fallen below 5'8" into his 60's and it will become more and more apparent as time goes by. His wife is younger than him and we'll start seeing it more and more...
burby says on 27/Jul/10
If Cruise looked like a dwarf, what does that make Glenn and Emile, half dwarves?
Zach says on 27/Jul/10
Cruise is 5'7, Stallone 5'8.5. In addition Sly clearly has the best lifts in the business. Notice how he's wheeled out the munsters for recent Expendables premiers Click Here He really does get close to the 6ft mark in the munsters plus the perennial stallone effect posture.
Aleks says on 27/Jul/10
Sly is 5' 8" Cruise is just under 5' 7".
Brad says on 27/Jul/10
Cruise's customs are not like Stallone...Sly has the big wedge. Cruise is a very weak 5' 8", Stallone pulls off the 5' 9" in "effect".
RisingForce says on 27/Jul/10
Of course Brad which is why he looked like a solid 5'10" guy next to Dave last time in dress shoes, most likely with lifts, in his munsters, he looked 6'0"-6'0.5" with Dave, IMO. But nobody is claiming he's a solid 5'10" anymore except for SecureMan and ACG. I'm saying about 5'9" which is why he can look 5'10" with dress shoes and lifts and 6'0ish with munsters.

I really don't know how you can think Cruise and Sly are about the same height. Look at Cruise on Letterman, he looked like a dwarf and Cruise wears lifts too. Atleast Danimal estimates there to be an inch difference between Sly and Cruise which adds up.
Aleks says on 27/Jul/10
Depp has never seen 5' 9" in his life.
Brad says on 26/Jul/10
He wears customs...Dave doesn't.
RisingForce says on 26/Jul/10
Letterman is listed at 6'1.5" here and he generally looks it. In his younger days he may have been 6'2", he looked atleast as tall as Arnold in the early 90's, if not slightly taller and Arnie WAS 6'1.5"/6'1.75".

I saw a 3 inch difference between Letterman and Sly last time, both were in dress shoes, but Sly almost certainly had some lifts in their, but that still puts him at about 5'9". When he was on the show in 2003/2004, he looked much taller with Letterman when he was in munsters, I saw only about an inch difference between them then.
Ace says on 26/Jul/10
I am starting to lean more towards 5`8.5-5`9 prime, and maybe as short as 5`8 now. Every single time a pic with his wife comes up, it seems as though he struggles with even 5`8!
Viper says on 26/Jul/10
LOL, Sly is even closer to the camera too.

Sly's real height IS 5'7.
CelebHeightExpert says on 26/Jul/10
Stallone has about an inch on Depp who is slightly over 5-9. That makes Stallone slightly over 5-10.

sly looks 5 ft 10 to 5 ft 10.75 when in lifts thats whi he claims that
jtm says on 25/Jul/10
i saw this site about stallone being 5'7 and this guy met him and says he was around 5'7.now why has frank2 and many others that have met him say he is around the 5'7 range? i highly doubt is because they hate the guy. i am a big fan of stallone but i just can't buy 5'9 for him. i have never seen a 5'9 guy look as short as he does.
SecureMan says on 25/Jul/10
Letterman is 6'2 and Sly was 3-4 inches short. So we arrive at a figure of 5'10-2'11 for Stallone. Exactly what I saw back in the day. Strong 5'10 imo.

Sly on Letterman this week. Best comparison is at exactly 10 seconds when Letterman stands up straight and is still equal to him (don't be fooled when Dave walks forward closer to the camera at 11 seconds). Sly looks to be around 3 - 4 shorter, don't think he was in big lifts at all.

Yeah. And how tall is Letterman again? He was 6'1'' in his prime and has definetely lost height in his old age. He looked closer to 6 feet with Dwayne Johnson. Either way, he was 3-4 inches taller than Sly, and Sly had at least a one inch footwear advantage. Bingo, were back to 5'8 MAX for Sly.

Well he claims 6'2 and is listed on this site as 6'1.5 and usually looked/looks it. And for him being old, sure he looks old but Sly is actually older than Letterman whether people know that or not. So if he did loose height why hasn't Sly yet either? Not to mention Sly is lifted heavy weights all his life and Letterman sat on his you know what for just as long, I'm sure Sly has lost more height than Letterman. I do agree though Sly could be around 5'8 there with Dave.

Sly looking tall next to Terry Crews and Randy Couture both big guys.Check out the last pic of the series.

Leonari, you're being fooled by Terry Crews and Randy's posture. If you were to check out the second and third page of pictures from that day you would see how posture plays a big role.

Suddenly when Terry stands up straight like Sly the difference looks like this.
great says on 24/Jul/10
just watched that wetten dass thing again, and i have to say : he is such a cool, clever guy( yeah, you would not be expecting him to be clever, but i read that he is a pretty artistic person) that i would not expect him to be so insecure about height.

Jtm - in his best lifts he stands around 6'0.
great says on 23/Jul/10
a nice video from the german show "wetten dass", sly was givin´his all in the munsters and did solely manage to get to about average at 6 ft.

my favourite line: he is way to handsome for boxin´.

but it shows perfectly that sly must be about 5 8 or 5 9 def. over 5 7. he probably has about 5 cm "net" lift in the shoe and the heel gives him 3 cm

Hi. I had a picture taken with Sly too, when he came around for tea yesterday evening. It was during the Expendables era. You'll never see this picture. And you'll probably never hear from me again. But just thought I'd settle this debate once and for all.
RisingForce says on 23/Jul/10
Good video, Derek D, I see about a 3 inch difference. And I agree, I doubt he's in big lifts. Maybe 1 inch lifts in those dress shoes.
Tall Pinoy says on 23/Jul/10
I had a picture taken of him back in the Rambo days. I am 5'10" and I was a good 2 inchess taller than him in the picture. I was even hunched a little since we did a high handshake kind of thing in the picture. I would have guess he is 5'6" to 5'8" at the most.
jtm says on 23/Jul/10
clay what are you talking about? he has never looked 6'0.5 -6'1 in his life. secureman:"We don't believe you.You need more people."
great says on 23/Jul/10
yep i guess he is not below 5 8 or 5 8.5.
he had quite impressive proportions in the 80s. and compare him to cenna walking in rocky 3
i also do not see him shrinking, even if he has exercised quite intensly, which won´t shrink you big time anyway.

the reason arnie shrunk, is that he was seriuosly ill and his physique was not all too natural in the first place

i mean sly. seemed to have been natural (at least in the late 70s and 80s, we are not talking about the IGF-1 nowadays).
Wenzone says on 23/Jul/10
I Have stood next to Stallone before on a film set, I am only 5'7 1/2 & the guy was wearing lifts & was MAYBE 2 inches taller than me at the most with them on, so I would even say he may be shorter than me!
I was surprised how short he was, and he looks even shorter because he's so muscular & he really does have a freakishly large head as well... very odd looking

Whatever people think he is,Rob's never going to change the listing at the top of the page. This site is the most accurate on the internet, so I'll go with 5'9 for Stallone.

Well, given that Rob has never actually met Stallone, his guess is no better than anyone else's on this site. Ask Frank2 who HAS met Stallone. He'll tell you the truth. And I still find it strange how a 5'9 man can be shorter than his 5'9 wife, and only be 3 inches taller than a 5'5 man. But thats just me.

And I wouldn't say this is the most accurate site on the internet. This site also has Tom Cruise at 5'8, Matt Damon at 5'10, and Robert Downey Jr. at 5'8, which none of them are.

anything under 174.5 cm for sly is absurd as for pitt he aint under 178.5 cm

But what I'm wondering is if photos can be so off as we saw that night where Sly was looking taller than Arnold in photos and then a bit shorter in the video, then how can photo proof suddenly be such flawless evidence that he's shorter?
RisingForce says on 22/Jul/10
I agree with Parker.

If Sly is 5"10 then his wife is 5"11. Simple as that. I guess her tape measure is missing 2 inches at the bottom.

Derek, as I said on the Arnie page, I'm moving apartments and everything's stored away atm. The pictures aren't on my computer because I never had any interest in uploading them before.

He's wearing flats in the photo, which was taken during the 90's. Of course, as soon as I upload it retards will just start making up excuses as to why Stallone looks that tall. "The pavement must be crooked", "you can't be 6'0", "He must be wearing elevator sandals" etc etc so I'm wondering if it'll be worth my while.

Well how long does it take to upload a picture? If was lucky enough to have met and take a picture with Sly I'd have it posted here within 5 minutes. I'm wondering if it'll be worth my while to believe this picture even exists.

Stallone & Arnold Click Here could it be that Arnold have been 6 feet tall in his prime and 5'11 now?

or is it just stallone the liftmaster?
Federic says on 21/Jul/10
Sylvester Stallone is actually 1.69 Inches High - 1.70 Inches.

One peculiarity is that in all or almost all the films he has done, and will require a producer and director, to raise it on the big screen than 5 cm, so Questro may appear to the viewer who goes to see a movie, 1.75 Inches high.
Shaun says on 21/Jul/10
5'8'5" is definately the best estimate for him. 5'7" flat claim is as bad as 5'11" in my view. He is obviously minimum 5'8" as he was not shorter than Sharon Stone who is not a hair under 5'7.5". Stone is a legit 5'8" in my view so Stallone is 5'8.5"-5'9".
the shredder says on 21/Jul/10
SecureMan , I love to see it , I was very open of him being 5'8 to 5'9 as some on here posted barefoot pics with his 5'9 wife and the fact that a old member was only 5'6 3/4 and not his 5'8 claim , Without a doubt I agree with him being 5'10 over this retarded 5'7 talk !

Danimal says on 20/Jul/10
5'7.75" for Sly... As he's aging, he'll fall under that height. He may have been able to hit 5'8.5" first thing in the morning in his younger days, but most men his age (64) have already lost a full inch in height...

Can't see 5'10" anymore. But I can see around 5'9", maybe he's shrunk to 5'8.5" or was never taller, but I still can't see the 5'7"-5'8" stuff.

In 1993 at the Sage Brush Cantina, Calabasas, California I was one of 18 bouncers employed to have fun and keep the peace. Cruise and his posse came thru the patio area, stopping directly in front of me, he's 5'7" with the lift boots on; I have never been taller than 5'9" and he was two inches shorter than me.
Will says on 18/Jul/10
Stallone is 5'8 1/2" maximum. Though I can imagine him struggle to be 5'9 1/2".
dmeyer says on 18/Jul/10
they did an amazing job to make sly looks not mush shorter than 6 ft 1 weathers
Source says on 17/Jul/10
I agree with you SecureMan. At the very least he's a 5'9.75(177cm), but he's most likley a soild 5'10(178cm).
a says on 16/Jul/10
I say 5'9 with good posture. He never looks short, he just doesn't. At the same time he never looks tall unless he's wearing his ridiculous lifts. He can reach almost the same height as 6'1 Arnold with lifts, thus, probably 5'9, UNLESS Arnold is shorter, which I kinda still think he is too.

Stallone is not 5'10" SecureMan. Almost impossible he is that tall. With lifts he reaches 5'10" easy. Even 5'11".But barefoot? No way

Hes only 5'10 in lifts, 5'7 barefoot.

SecureMan says on 15/Jul/10
I'd give Stallone 5'10 easy, whether the haters like it or not.
Vegas says on 15/Jul/10
clay while i agree that sly at 5'7 seems a bit too low; sly is still quite short next to hogan on video even in his munsters, at the 2min mark you will see him standing next to hogan, thats an easy 5 inch difference Click Here i assume nearly everyone would pin a decent posture hogan (in shoes) at between 6'4 and 6'5 in early 2005 so that puts sly between 5'11 and 6ft in his shoes

if you watch towards the end of that video 6min 40secs you will see ~5'10-5'11 stacy keibler next to hogan in heels, she looks a bit taller next to hogan than sly does Click Here

there was another good video taken in 2006 i believe (since removed from youtube), it had sly, hogan and mr t on stage together, hogan again had 5 inches on sly and a little more on mr t, some screenshots Click Here Click Here
miko says on 15/Jul/10
Sly at 5"8.5 seems to fit. With posture and lifts he can look a solid 5"10, pull out the munsters and he can look close to 6"0 when everything comes right for him.

So he was struttin' around in 5.5-6 inch lifts that night with Vince Mcmahon and Hulk Hogan....

Sly at just 5'7'' is out of line, even for you Jtm and you Viper. He would have to be constanly sporting 5 inch lifts at appearnces.

Maybe not 5 inch lifts, but we know his shoes can add up to four inches of height. Add his military posture and he looks like a six footer. IMO he's never looked 6'1 or, even more ridiculous, 6'2 even in his biggest lifts.

There's no way in hell Sly is or ever was over 5'8, and even that is generous. More like 5'7.5'' on a realistic scale.

No jtm, I said he clearly had something against Sly when he said as if it was a fact that Sly used a double in the barefoot scene in tango and Cash and suggested Sly might be slightly under 5'7"(funny is that Danimal also said to Frank2 that he had something against Sly when Frank2 said that and Danimal has Sly at 5'7.75" last I remember). In hindsight, I don't think Frank2 has anything against Sly.

JTM, you downgrade Shaq against all evidence, you downgrade Sly's wife to 5'8" when no sources put her that low, you suggested Adam Sandler might only be 5'8", Tom Cruise at 5'6.5", Sly at 5'7", Chris Rock at 5'9", you had Johnny Depp at 5'7", now solid 5'7"/weak 5'8"(which is still atleast an inch too low), Chuck Norris at 5'7" ect.

RisingForce says on 5/Jul/10
I'm not sure either Claudia Schiffer picture is real in the sense that they both stood in the room at the same time to be photographed. Often times they shoot 2 people seperately for magazines. Even so, as Derek mentioned, he looks atleast 5'8.5" there.

But without knowing whether they actually stood next to eachother brings it into question regardless the same way the Tango and Cash barefoot scene is questioned by many because of the questions about whether it was a double or not(which also can't be proven either way)

But back to the picture of Sly looking taller than Arnie and then shorter in the video, does that mean that pictures in general are unreliable? If so, should we just be looking for videos? I know that's basically what Vegas thinks and before that, I didn't really agree, but after that he may have a good point.

Well that's the fake one, and even on the real one (where he looks shorter) he doesn't look as low as 5'7/5'8. Looks more closer to 5'8.5 if you ask me, 5'9 max.(Depending if Claudia is 5'11 or 5'11.5).

RisingForce says on 3/Jul/10
Meredith is listed at 5'5.5" here.

That was Meredith's peak height. When the first Rocky came out, Meredith was 69 years old, meaning he probably lost a significant amount of height. I doubt he was over 5'4'' when Rocky came out.

If Stallone was 5'9'' in his prime, he would've been at least 4 inches taller than Meredith (even if Meredith was 5'5''), which he never was.

And I hate to be a downgrader, but jtm could be right about Weathers being six feet flat. In Rocky IV, 6'4'' Dolph Lundgren had about 4 inches on him (even when Weathers stood on his tip toes he couldn't match Lundgren's height.) And 6'1'' Arnold Schwarzenegger had about an inch on him in Predator. And, as mentioned before, Weathers only had 3 inches on 5'9'' Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore.

We've been over that Weathers/Stallone picture before. Weathers has a camera advantage and likely due to dress shoes/dress bootss training shoes, a footwear advantage. Even so, Sly's head is at Weathers eye level there which is a 4.5" difference meaning Sly is 5'8.5" minimum there.

Instead of comparing Stallone to Weathers, you should compare him to 5'4'' Burgess Meredith, who doesn't have a camera advantage. Stallone is no more than 3 - 3.5 inches taller than him. And IMO I see more of a 5 to 5.5 inch difference between Weathers and Stallone, but that's just me.

George Bush Senior has maintained good height, and seemingly good health, despite now being 86. I've seen him in several recent pictures with his Bush Junior, and he is still clearly taller than him.

I think Bush Senior is a classic case of losing little or no height, whereas Arnold is the opposite, despite the two decade age difference.

Kobe was measured 6'4.75" by his wife, but I agree Obama doesn't look much taller than 6' in the video. I see an inch to an inch and a half between Arnie and Bush. It would be helpful to know how tall Bush senior was in '87 before we compare him with the governator.

well dural what you make of this video so, its from 1987 with an aged 6'2 listed everywhere george bush sr, bush is older there than arnie is today, 4mins 30s, arnie if he stood 6'1.5 barefoot should be identical to bush but he ain't, i was a big believer of a 6'1 arnie before i saw that on tv Click Here

you don't see any reason to doubt a so called measurement with zero evidence but you don't believe arnie himself when straight out of his own mouth a year ago he said he measured 6'1, seems very strange to me.......

He definetly lost height since the 90s, about 2 inches I would say. I have no reason to doubt the 6'1.5" measurement, even though he can look shorter in some pics or movies.
RisingForce says on 25/Jun/10
JohnJohn, all we did was state our observations. I do think there's a good chance he's been liftless recently. Remember the pictures I posted at the basketball game recently where he was in low cut dress shoes and his knees were lower than the men sitting next to him?

Vegas, Sly looks closer to Arnie's height in the Arnold classic than he does in that older video. I see about a 2" difference max in the Arnold classic and atleast 3" if not 4" between them in the older video.

Again, Sly sported some serious high heels in Rocky 1. Just watched the movie with my gf last night and even in his high heels, he was barely taller than 5'7"-5'8" Burt Young. Sly has never been over 5'8". Today he's a bit less and severely overcompensates. Brad is fixated on this 5'8.5" height, like he was fixated on Glenn. Sly was never over 5'8" FLAT.

Are these the photos you're referring to, Derek? If so, I agree, it looks like he's liftless.

How many times are we going to go over this!? Stallone doesn't go liftless, never has and never will. That would completely negate the point of wearing elevators for the past 4 decades to cover up his real height, 5'7.75''.

And why would you assume he's liftless? Just because the heel looks normal doesn't mean he couldn't have a lift inside! If you guys want to keep believing he's 5'9'', even though he's shorter than his 5'9'' wife, then go ahead. But until you give us evidence that's better than the Rome pictures and the picture with Meredith, I think it's safe to say that 5'9'' is off the table.

I didn't say he was liftless I just said he looks like he "may" of been wearing dress shoes with no lifts that. 1. He does look a little shorter than usual there. 2. Look at how low cut those shoes are. His foot isn't really hanging out of the shoe, it looks pretty normal to me and trust me I know out of everyone here that he's NEVER liftless. But I just never heard of low cut dress shoes that allow more than a inch of lift without your foot literally hanging out. I'd accept him packing maybe at least a inch of lift in those shoes but nothing more. And I'm not trying to suggest he's 5'9 or blah blah, just saying he's wearing modest footwear there. I still have no clue how tall he is. Probably 5'8 ish.

Sly and Arnie(though the picture might be mid-stride) Click Here I see about a 2" difference there, but again I can't really tell if they're mid-stride or not.

I doubt Brigitte is under 6', she dwarfed Eddie Murphy and Eddie claimed she was 6'2" which is obviously BS, but I've seen Brigitte claim 6' and 6'1" and I'd believe it.

Regarding the rest of the cast of Cobra, Reni Santoni gets listed at 6'3", not sure how accurate that is, but I'm sure he's over 6', Andrew Robinson is 5'10"-5'10.5" even to this day in his late 60's and Sly was taller than him in the movie and the villain was a big guy, forget what he was listed at, but I looked it up and he was listed easily over 6', maybe 6'3" and he looks like a big guy.

Sly just managed to pull off a 6' appearance in that movie, IMO.

Sly's "Cobra" Cowboy boots would have a wedge in them.
Brad says on 21/Jun/10
At 5' 8.5" they are using every trick in the book in Cobra with his ex.

Vegas says on 21/Jun/10
cobra was on tv last night first time to see that movie since probably the early 90s, sly is the same height or dare i say a hair taller than Brigitte Nielsen throughout the movie, he is in cowboys and she is in heeled boots, i think nielsen might be shorter than we thought because next to everyone else sly doesn't look tall, he is the shortest guy in the police room, doesn't look that tall in the hospital with all the people

Check out Sly's shoes from this day. They look perfectly normal to me, seem to be regular low cut dress shoes with a small heel.

Now here he is next to Arnold that same day. I think he is liftless next to him in this shot. And there you go, Sly with no lifts next to Arnold.

i agree with you melvin holt with 5'7.

Of course you do. I would expect nothing else from a 5'5'' guy with issues.

5'8" - 5'9" Stallone next to 6'1" carl weathers and 5'4" Burgess Meredith in a deleted scene picture from Rocky. Click Here

Arnold probably does edge out Sly in that video, but it's very close.

Okay so here's a video of Sly receiving the award from Arnold. At around 0:35 seconds and on you can clearly see Sly was NOT taller than Arnold that night. I see about a 1 - 1.5 difference, pretty close though. Posture makes a big difference in pictures.

Also check out this interesting video of Sly meeting Rocky. I guess Rocky forgot his lifts that day, lol. 0:52 is absolutely hilarious.

Arnie was a legit 6' 2" in front of me somewhere around '91. That picture was much later, he looks 6' with Sly bangin' out in his customs.
Ed Kline says on 15/Jun/10
Thats an interesting pic Berbatov...but we dont know the ground level for either guy.

His collegues keep getting shorter like normal people for instance Dolph Lundgren has lost 2 inches and Arnold has lost almost 3 inches due to rigorous training when he was younger, but Sly keeps growing. Maybe he hits 6ft2 in shoes when he turns 70 :)

Arnold hasn't lost almost 3". A solid 2" MAX. Let's not exaggerate.

go to getty images type in arnold schwarzenegger on page 7 march 5 2010 theres a pic of him and Sly side by side Arnold's got him by an easy 3 no funny camera angles (sorry i cant link the pic) Zach is right kin his post ........Check this out Sly is the only man who can come within 3-4 inches of 6'4-6'5 Dolph Lundren and still be shorter then his own wife whose 5'9 and robert downey jr (5'9???guessing)

BIG SIGH...Okay, Dolph Lundgren is not 6'4" or 6'5". He's 6'2"-6'3" today. This has been discussed adnauseum.
RisingForce says on 14/Jun/10
Brad, Arnie looks fairly young in that picture. If that picture was taken in the 90's or even 2000/2001, how do you know Arnie wasn't atleast 6'1" in that picture? In fact, you said Arnold was 6'2" when you met him in the 90's.
RisingForce says on 14/Jun/10
Berbatov, look how much closer to the camera Arnold is.

Runt, I saw a full body shot from that day where Sly was in relaxed posture and had about 2" on Hopper.
heightdoctor says on 14/Jun/10
Sly looked only 3 inches shorter than richard crenna (listed here at 6'1) in rambo, watch the end of first blood, sly comes yp to crennas' nose and lips, making sly a strong 5'10.
So on measuring human height of 4 inches ( with an average head size, no long head/ neck), on a 6ft person, 1 inch short will be forehead ( 5'11), 2 inches nose to lips (5'10) and 3 inches, bottom lip and aboce neck ( 5'9), finally 4 inches is top of neck. 8 inches short will be shoulder ( 6'8), 12 inches ( 7ft) will be the chest area.
So a 4 inch difference is a big difference, in terms of frame, length of legs, shoulder height, height difference of backside.
wearing shoe lift, or customised shoes will not physically make you from 5'8 to 6ft tall, as 1 inch= 2.5cm, so you will need 10cm of lift and then include the sole of the footwear, and don't forget the discomfort of walking and tripping and slipping and getting used to the footwear.
Wearing a shoe lift or lift footwear of 4 inch, on a 6ft example will, make you 1.5/2.5 inch taller on 4 inch as it will give you maximum 6cm. Shoe lifts will not make you a full 4/3 inch taller.
Brad says on 14/Jun/10
Golf shoes shot with Arnie....4" shorter, well he's not 5' 9"
