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

American actor best known for films like 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 that might be a bit of 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". Another actress, Melinda Dillon from F.I.S.T, commented in Chicago Tribune "I'm taller than Sly and that bothers him and we kid about it so I take off my shoes in some scenes. I can't slouch or I wouldnt be Anna. She's very upright."

Fellow action stars have even mentioned his height, Van Damme once saying: "I'm 5-foot-10, a good size for movies. If you're too big a guy, it's hard to find good villains. That's why Stallone always has good villains. He's short."

Kurt Russell had shorter legs than Sly in those horrible butt baring pics...

He was as tall as Brigitte says (174-175cm) and an inch less today.

170cm/5'7" MAX.

5'8.5" MAX in his younger days. Under 5'8" today.

170cm/5'7" MAX.

Very insightful/thought provoking post.

Yeah Rising and look at Sly's torso as well in comparison to Sheen's. This is why I think the people who think he is 5 ft 7 are so absurd. He actually has the torso of a guy in the 5'11-6' range but the legs of a 5'8" guy I think.

Yo Yo! 1/4" under 5'8" this year.
Brad says on 2/Feb/12
Anton is 5' 11" on the nose.

Not sure about higher ground, I think that's the photo being tilted in Sly's favor. It does show how short Sly's legs are and how long his torso is for a man his height. His legs even in his biggest elevators look similar to Sheen's while his torso looks very long compared to Sheen and Perry.

Their posture is also the polar opposite to Stallone's. Sly is like a statue while both Sheen and Perry are casually slouching.
Anthony says on 1/Feb/12
Hey Brad, how tall do you think Anton is? I know Rob has her listed at 5'11
jtm says on 1/Feb/12
syl is also on a higher ground and looks like he might be tiptoeing.
Brad says on 1/Feb/12
Odd camera stuff with Charlie. Anton & Sly shots are equally strange, he's almost her height in some and I've met her, she's very tall. Massive Munster action.

This site is most generous to Stallone ...even though he is below 5'8" that is a fact!!!!

Dumb post like this is ... Where is THE FACTS ?
RisingForce says on 1/Feb/12
This picture really surprised me. Click Here

Posture and angle are obviously favorable, but that has to be the tallest I've ever seen Sly look in a full body shot, even with elevators. Very strange picture.

If Stallone stands 5'7"-5'8" tall. Then he is of average height.
___________

5'7 is not average height for a white american male
1.85 m, 83 kg says on 31/Jan/12
Average height.
Will says on 30/Jan/12
If Stallone stands 5'7"-5'8" tall. Then he is of average height. Stallone isn't a small man to me at all IMHO.
Silent d says on 29/Jan/12

Rob, why do you not put the Birgit Nielsen quotes on the summary ?
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP says on 29/Jan/12

THE REAL ANONYMOUS says on 28/Jan/12
Brad, please go to the Coey Feldman page, and let me know what your thoughts are on what I posted. I think we might have stumbled on something interesting on that page concerning Stallone's height.
burby says on 27/Jan/12
The highest I would go with JCVD peak would be 5'8.75", probably strong 5'8.5" now. Stallone has big ones on.
the shredder says on 26/Jan/12
Rob , whats wrong , where are the comments on here ... also Sly looks 5'8.5 with with JCD ?
[Editor Rob: a problem with the database meant a bunch of comments were removed ]

What about this, Rob? Click Here
Brad says on 26/Jan/12
Look at Sly's baseball mitt hand with JCD. He's gotta lay off the juice for flicks.
