Mamun

runt says on 1/Jun/08
Is Mamun 5-8 morning?

James says on 26/May/08
Well John some say 6ft-6ft.5 which might be closer at least at peak.

John Jay says on 21/May/08
Ok, more like 5'11.75 to 6'.

James says on 19/May/08
Hmmm 5ft11 1/2 I think he is more in the 6ft range.

Theatredistrict NYC says on 19/May/08
Wow he looks and reminds me of my cousin Jeff from up state in this pic they are both putting on weight and stand in the same manner, he is even making a face my cousin would. I would say 5'11 barefoot.

John Jay says on 18/May/08
He might be a solid 6' with shoes, but he could also be 5'11.5 probably some where between that and 6' .......... Wyatt: Doc how in the hell are you? .......... Doc: Wyatt Iam rolling. BatMan: you need help Harvey give it up!

Arnie says on 16/May/08
Val looks like a six footer , could be 5'11 though but I would say more like 6 with regular shoes, and yes he does look somewhat constipated, I think joeman is seeing Val Kilmer mirages, just kidding joe.

Joeman says on 12/May/08
I would say val is nearly 6 with shoes on , I thought I seen him in manhattan a couple of times in the late 90s and he looked just like my height a little over 180 with shoes, but in the Doors and Batman he looked more like a six footer, and in Tombstone he seemed about 5'11 but remember films can add or take off an inch if the part desires it , I think I have seen Val a few weeks ago in
manhattan at riverside park on two occasions, I was looking over to see if it was him and he noticed me looking so I just kept walking, I dont like to bother celebrities, live and let live I say. Between 5'11 and a half and six sounds right, and the second time a few days later it looked just like him sitting on a bench with his wife or girlfreind taking in the spring scenery he had a ball cap and sunglasses on and this time he was watching me walk by and I have a bit of a resemblence to him, mabey he noticed that I thought, it looked like they were people watching, he seems like a nice guy and an excellent actor just watch Tombstone.

James says on 20/Mar/08
his high hair does make him look taller in that picture

tomtom says on 20/Mar/08
leung, look at val's posture and i said between 5'10" and 5'11". i can't see a 5in difference in the pic, but it's just a pic.

Leung says on 19/Mar/08
tomtom, if Kilmer was 5'10" then that would make Mamun 5'5"-5'6"

tomtom says on 19/Mar/08
he looks between 5`10" and 5'11" in the pic with mamum. doesn't mean he is.

Mamun says on 19/Mar/08
No my friends he didn't look over 6 feet when I met Him !

regards

Supermun

James says on 18/Mar/08
weake 6ft? He was barely shorter than 6ft1.5 Jim Carrey in Batman Forever, i would say quite strong 6ft like 184cm when Val was younger.

Anonymous says on 18/Mar/08
For me, Val always looked in his movies as a strong 5´11 or a weak 6.

James says on 18/Mar/08
mamun did he look over 6ft to you when you met him when this photo was taken?

mamun says on 18/Mar/08
All I can say is he was wearing cowboy boots which seemed to have a 1.5 inches
sole . I don't know if he had any lifts or not !

regards

Mamun

James says on 15/Mar/08
does look a legit 6ft in the picture

Mamun says on 15/Mar/08
All I can say is he was wearing cowboy boots which seemed to me of having
1.5 inches of heels . I couldn't tell if had extra lifts on those or not .
But he was a very nice guy !

regards

Supermun

Hugh says on 14/Mar/08
Mamun, was Val wearing lifts, looks 6ft1-6ft2 in that photo.

Mamun says on 14/Mar/08
Your wellcome james !

James says on 13/Mar/08
ok mamun thanks for the comment, after reading your post I think Val might just be about 6ft.

Mamun says on 13/Mar/08
Well My friend James I am closer to the camera which means I have an
advantage when it comes to camera angle . So in a sense I think you can
disregard the advantage of him wearing cowboy boots over my i inch scetchers.
Hope my insight gives you and others here some comfort .

Regards

Supermun

James says on 12/Mar/08
Leung yes I do agree with you to an extent that Val Kilmer does look 6ft often in his movies such as in Batman Forever when he had just about 3 inches over 5ft9 Chris O'Donell. He did also look a hair taller than Denzel Washington in Deja Vu as well. I also thought he looked very close to Jim Carreys height in Batman Forever as well.

In other films he can look a little shorter though like in that film where he plays a blinde man he only look like 2 or so inches taller than that 5ft9 actress (cant remember her name). In Spartan as well he did not look that much taller than 5ft10 Derek Luke.

Basicley what iam trying to say is that his height can fluctuate from 5ft11 to 6ft and on rare occasions 6ft1. I hope Mamun posts on this page again so he can give us more info on Val's footware?

Leung says on 11/Mar/08
James, you are basing your height estimate on one photo and Mamun guessing 5’10” for Kilmer and Mamun’s assumption that Kilmer is wearing Cowboy boots with 1.5 to 2 inch height boost which is pure speculation.
James, you shouldn’t just accept Mamun’s estimate as gospel, especially when it as much as 2 inches different. Come on, I know you are better than that James! Watch a few Val Kilmer movies and you will come back and say that 6’ is the most logical height for Kilmer.

James says on 11/Mar/08
Mamun is a legit 5ft8

Ruiu says on 11/Mar/08
Mamun can't be 5'8" then. Even Glenn looks taller than Mamun.

James says on 10/Mar/08
Leung it seems much like Jim you dont want to look at Mamuns comments that he was wearing Cow Boy boots in that picture which give you a 1.5 to 2 inch height boost which would make Val 5ft10 to 5ft11 flat.

RICHARD says on 10/Mar/08
People ask how did he grow to 6'0 from 4'11. He was 14 or 15 when he entered high school at the height of 4'11 so maybe he grew to 5'-5'6 from ages 15--18 and then grew some more from ages 18-21 to 6'. It is possible for boys to get over 6' before the age of 21 IF they weren't before age 18,as with girls who stop at ages 16-18.

Leung says on 9/Mar/08
The dude is 6ft. James why do you place so much emphasis on a single photo? Jim is correct about photos on many occasions not being accurate for judging height. Also my opinion is that Mamun is not very good at estimating height, no offence Mamun but you are way off with your 5’10” estimate for Val Kilmer.

RICHARD says on 8/Mar/08
Val's height is tricky to me. He didn't look as much as 1 in. shorter than 6'1 Jim Carrey in Batman Forever and he was close in height next to 6' Tommy Lee Jones so 6' for Val looks accurate. He looked like a giant next to Tom Cruise in Top Gun,also.

James says on 5/Mar/08
Jim read the comments below he was wearing cow boy boots in the picture

Jim says on 4/Mar/08
Val is a solid 6ft! Pictures arent always great for showing height

James says on 4/Mar/08
In Val's defense Mamun is standing 2 closer to the camera

S4M says on 3/Mar/08
HAHAH! Val looks like he's constipated (soflax buddy). Anywho, I think Val wearing some chunky boots and that military posture is pretty intimidating. 5'11 with those boots! NOT 6'0!

James says on 3/Mar/08
he does look around 6ft in the picture but footware not sure

Antron says on 3/Mar/08
Yes I saw that, but Val simply looks a bit taller than that. Mamun is clearly forward of Val in the picture, look at their heads... Val looks easily 6ft and change here given that. I supposed he could have really large boots on, but I doubt it.

James says on 1/Mar/08
Mamun reckons he is as low as 5ft10ish without the cow boy boots on

Antron says on 29/Feb/08
I think Val actually looks a bit taller than 6ft in this picture. I urge people to look at Nick's picture where he simulates Mamun taking a step back. Val looks about 6'1." Now he is wearing boots, so I'll give him an inch and a half over barefoot height. Val is probably not quite 6 flat, but more like 5'11 and change. Think about it. Tom Cruise is walking around in lifts the entire time in Top Gun and Val is solidly 3 inches taller than Tom minimum. Cruise walks around at 5'8" to 5'9" in his helper shoes. Val is 180cm minimum.

SABELLA says on 29/Feb/08
wasn't he 184cm

Marcelo C. says on 27/Feb/08
Rob: My God !! I better shutup then !! But, by the way, you haven´t answered my question yet.........Who´s SuperMun ??

James says on 27/Feb/08
yeah mcmallen you mentioned that before on this page was he wearing big shoes when you saw him?

mcmallen says on 27/Feb/08
Saw him at baggage pickup at Albuquerque airport. He had on sneakers and a ballcap he looked 6'0", I am 6'2". He was surprisingly heavy, and had a large mole on his right jaw, didn't look like a matinee idol.

Anonymous says on 27/Feb/08
He looked 6' in De ja vu next to Denzel. If you ask Scarlet errr Melvin, he'd have you beleive that Val isn't over 5'10 though due to his weight gain.

James says on 27/Feb/08
Val could be 6ft but if SuperMun estimates him at being 5ft10ish without the Cow Boy boots who are we to argue

Marcelo C. says on 27/Feb/08
Who´s SuperMum, with all respect, to be considered as a "reference" when compared to celebs?? Is he more notorious than De Niro, Pacino or Brosnan ?
Please, I´d like to know.

nick says on 27/Feb/08
rob,about an 45 min

Leung says on 26/Feb/08
My opinion is that Kilmer is a 6 footer.

The above photo is not great for judging height for numerous reasons. Kilmer is further from the camera, Kilmer has got the frog neck posture which means his neck is not straight. Apparently Kilmer is wearing cowboy boots but we can not see the shoes in the photo and see what the difference might be between Kilmer’s shoes and Mamun’s shoes.
If I was judging height based on that 1 photo and I was told that Kilmer is 5’10” then I would have to say that Mamun is no more than 5’6”.

James says on 26/Feb/08
editor rob did you see Mamuns claim further down the page that he estimates that Val's Barefoot height is 5ft10ish. This is becuase in the pic he is wearing Cow Boy Boots

James says on 26/Feb/08
does look 6ft

GSP says on 25/Feb/08
"Now there is some posture"

lol..yeah he looks like he has a broomstick up his ass in both posture and facial expression. Add to that Mamum decked out in his regular superman attire and you get pure comedy gold!

Depiction of manum if he took one step back, kilmer looks to be a 6 footer

Alex says on 25/Feb/08
I know in Batman Forever he looked 6'0-6'1.

H-G-H says on 25/Feb/08
In the photo with Mamum he looks at LEAST 6'1"

AAAA says on 25/Feb/08
Now there is some posture

Charliemoto says on 24/Feb/08
too tall compared to 5'8 Mamun, Kilmer looks slight above 186cm in that image if he had cowboy boots, i see 10cm difference.

mamun was probably 176cm in 1 inch shoes, kilmer was 187cm that's about right.

as such Kilmer barefoot is surely 182-183cm.

this image remind me of Glenn vs DiCaprio (in heels)

Mamun says on 24/Feb/08
James that's exactly how tall I think his barefoot height is !

Regards

supermun

James says on 24/Feb/08
glennis Val had cowboy boots on in the picture

glennis5\'7 says on 24/Feb/08
Looks totally 6 feet cause he's acting like he has his back against the wall being measured. I think that if Mun would be in the exact same position as Kilmer he would be an easy 5 inch shorter.

Alex says on 24/Feb/08
Derek, exactly. Val is behind Mamun which is going to make the difference look less.

James says on 24/Feb/08
If he was wearing Cow Boy boots on woulden't that make him 5ft10ish in reality

James says on 24/Feb/08
Mamun what do you think Val's true height is then?

Mamun says on 24/Feb/08
Thanks for all the kinds remarks here my friends ! I must also mention this
to my friends here . Val was very nice to me but he was also in cowboy boots
giving him at least .50 inches of height advantage over me .

Kind regards and have a nice day ,

Supermun

Gil says on 23/Feb/08
Saw him a couple of summers ago on the lower east side and he was wearing flat converse like sneakers- I would say 6'ft is accurate.

Anonymous says on 23/Feb/08
There he trully looks 5'11.5 6'0

derek says on 23/Feb/08
People that are new here have to understand "perspective". Val is behind Mamum, if he was standing equal to him then he would be one inch taller than he appears in the picture, making him 6'ft.

Danimal says on 23/Feb/08
5'11"-5'11.5" MAX

Alex says on 23/Feb/08
Mamun is closer to the camera and Val still has like 3 inches on him. If they were at the same distance it would be at least 4 inches.

OutBenchThis says on 23/Feb/08
He a weak posture from the photo and a significant head tilt but based on other accounts, you would have to go with somewhere between 182cm-184cm for Val. 6ft sounds right.

ed says on 23/Feb/08
Jim Morrison was 5-10 according to the book. I dont think Kilmer is much taller than that according to all of his films and pics.

Anonymous says on 23/Feb/08
lol don't be crazy i've seen him in the summer, he is a legit 6 footer, don't be fooled. check the entourage episode, where he is about 3 inches taller than Adrien Grenier AND he is barefoot (playing the SHERPA). case rested.

OutBenchThis says on 22/Feb/08
What's with Kilmer's head-tilt? Did he know the photo was being used for height comparisons or something? Nice photo Mamun!

Yaspaa says on 22/Feb/08
Mamun,you are not Superman, you are Ice Man, you have frozen val stiff!!
Supermun (cool) is closer to the camera and Val appears to be in military posture(snapped a second later I doubt he would have looked so upright) but his legs suggest otherwise, boasting a relatively relaxed stance. A strong 6' without doubt.

Lebensdorf says on 22/Feb/08
A-ha! I told you in my very first post on this site! Val is only about 5-11. I stood right next to the man. Now you have the picture to prove it.

Don't worry, it's not the end of the world, folks.
Everyone lies about his height.

John says on 22/Feb/08
he looks 5-11, and appears with a good posture.

Alex says on 22/Feb/08
Mamun is closer to the camera guys, thats why it doesn't look as much. Val is 6'0-6'1.

dmeyer says on 22/Feb/08
looks close to 6 ft but he has sly posture

Static says on 22/Feb/08
I just don't know what's wrong..Please Manum doesn't look 5ft9..and Kilmer On that picture looks 5ft11!

Danimal says on 22/Feb/08
Definitely not 6'0" if Mamun is 5'8".

dave says on 22/Feb/08
He is further away from the camera, he would bridge the gap. I see a 6'0'' man at least.

Anonymous says on 22/Feb/08
if he's 6 ft, Manum looks 5'9 in that picture, I said he's 5'11, possibly 5'11.25-5'11.5.

Lynn says on 22/Feb/08
In that pic I see a 5'11" man MAX.

Alex says on 22/Feb/08
Manum is closer to the camera by more than a bit and he still looks 3-4 inches shorter. Val could be pushing 6'1.

miko says on 22/Feb/08
Struggling with 6"0 next to Manum.

Jen Loves Val says on 23/Jan/08
Yeah, Val seems like 5'9 with Tom Cruise at the movie Top Gun. I think Cruise was wearing lifts...

James says on 14/Jan/08
I thought Kilmer looked a smidge taller than Denzel in the movie

dmeyer says on 5/Jan/08
very similar height with denzel both 6 ft

James says on 18/Dec/07
Val is 6ft but when stood next to Tom Cruise in Top Gun they made Val look 5ft9.

Jen Loves Val says on 6/Dec/07
He's a six footer! I saw him at the "Alexander" premiere. He used to be so hot, but somehow he gained a bit of weight. That made him look "wider" than he used to be. There's no way he's under 6ft.

Patricia Morrison says on 25/Nov/07
As Jim's widow AND someone who acted with Kilmer (in That Damn Movie), I can say with authority that they're about the same height, judging by how far I, at 5'8", had to reach up to hug them...Jim was 6'0 in his bare feet (I marked it on my kitchen wall), so say 6'1" and a bit in Frye boots, and Kilmer about the same. Though far less handsome, of course...and yes, it's really me...

Catsman says on 19/Nov/07
I remember when it was announced that he would play Jim Morrison. I was thinking that he would be a bit short for the part. He obviously must have looked short in his films up until then for me to get that impression.

Anthony says on 18/Nov/07
I saw Val yesterdat at Big Apple Comic Con. I didn't get a photo with him. But he's a tall man. 6'-6'1, with his hairstyle adding a bit.

Anonymous says on 3/Nov/07
Definitely not over 5-11, based on what his height appears to be on screen. Saw him on the street in LA – he looked to be about 5-10.

Lebensdorf says on 30/Sep/07
I saw Val Kilmer this very evening, at a local Italian restaurant as I popped in to get a little gelato. I'm nearly 6'2''. Honestly, he seemed about three inches shorter than I am. My girlfriend was with me; she can attest. He was standing right next to me, looking at the desert selection. He seems like a real nice guy, by the way. He was making the people he was with laugh.

Alex says on 5/Sep/07
I thought he looked in between 6'0 and 6'1.

AD says on 20/Aug/07
James, as I said before , I always maintained that Val is 6ft ...there's only 2 times I've seen him looking any shorter, first in that advert, and second in the pictures that Melvin posted with Val next to Robert Downey Jnr. I still maintain that he is most probably 6ft, just the 2 times I have mentioned can indicate why some people can think he's below 6ft.

James says on 20/Aug/07
AD He looks a solid 6ft even 6ft.05 so 5ft10 - 11 thats too short.

AD says on 20/Aug/07
Here's the advert that I'm talking about... to me he doesn't appear as tall as he always has, what do you think?
He's a big sport for doing this though!...lol
Click Here

James says on 17/Aug/07
5ft10 to 11 thats kind of low for him, even today he is at least 5ft11.5

AD says on 17/Aug/07
I always thought that Val was at least 6ft...but just seen a cinema ad for a phone company where he's in a western saloon. He's put on a huge amount of weight as people here have mentioned, and really does look more 5'10"-5'11" when he's stood with other people.

James says on 16/Aug/07
AAAA Val did not really look 6ft in Spartan, I mean have you seen the scenes with him and 5ft10 Derek Luke. When stood next to Derek, Val looked 5ft11.

AAAA says on 14/Aug/07
Kilmer has always looked a solid 6', from Real Genius to Spartan. The only time he looked 5'9 was next to Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and that was because the had him barefoot in the volleyball scene while Tom was in army boots

TJ says on 14/Aug/07
Dee, Kurt Russell is not 5'7. He's nearer 5'9. Kilmer looked about the same height as Daryl Hannah when she was in heels, and she's around 5'10.

Viper says on 14/Aug/07
Kilmer is way taller than 5-8.

Jason says on 14/Aug/07
lol. Are you trolling? He's 6'0''...

Dee says on 13/Aug/07
There is no way Kilmer is 6'. That must be his basketball height--like Allen, "shorty", Iverson is 6'. Kilmer looks to be about 5' 8" as he is slightly taller than Kurt Russell, who is about 5' 7". All the debates aside, this is a great webstie and good luck to you as you meet and greet many more celebs in search of the all important (feet and inches)!

James says on 6/Aug/07
Val did look several inches taller than Chris O Donell in Batman Forever so I think either 183cm or 6ft.05 would be accurate

The Horse of FUNK says on 1/Aug/07
Leung has it right, both Denzel and Kilmer look a solid 6'.25". In fact Kilmer might even be a solid 6'.05". I've never met him, but I have a friend who has met him in Cali and said Kilmer was marginally shorter than him (friend is 6'1"). So it's pretty much 6'.25" - 6.05" for Kilmer, basically a 184cm guy, and he tends to look it in his films.

Dennis says on 31/Jul/07
He mentioned in a interview that when he put on weight it was painfull for his back, so it could be possible that he looks a little shorter while he's carrying that weight.

Melvin says on 11/Jul/07
Put on a lot of weight. Now he's looking two inches taller than Robert Downey Jr. He's down to almost 5ft 10 / 5ft 10.5
Click Here

RICHARD says on 5/Jul/07
I heard he was 4'11 when he started high school so he must have been 14 or 15. He must have had a growth spurt when he was 17 or 18 and probably kept growing in his 20s. Kevin Costner was also 5'2 when he graduated high school and he's now 6'1

Cat Stevens says on 17/Jun/07
"There's a scene in The Doors where Val lines up in front of a height meter. His head was exactly on the 6 foot mark. But I don't know if he was wearing the Jim Morrison boots or not."

That's correct, and here's the pic:

AD says on 15/Jun/07
Have you checked out 'Top Secret' tho?...Val's wearing cuban heeled boots through most of it and absolutely towers over the rest of the cast...which he wouldn't do if he was under 6'

Leung says on 11/Jun/07
you both got it wrong, Val Kilmer and Denzel both look very similar in height.

Mister Lennon says on 11/Jun/07
Wait a moment, what are you talking about? In deja vu, Kilmer looked one or two inches taller than Denzel, not the oppositte. Also, in batman forever, he looked the same height than people like jim carrey or tommy lee jones, who are in the 6 or 6´1 range. I would say that he is 6 at least, if not more.

sam 2 says on 11/Jun/07
No way he is 6'. Take a look at Deja Vu with Denzel. D.W. is easy an inch taller, maybe 2 !!! Looking at all his films and compared to other known stars height, I would say 5'10 1/2" max for Val. Great actor, by the way.

Mister Lennon says on 1/Jun/07
In batman forever, Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones looked about the same height.

Eddie says on 1/Jun/07
TheJerk, I agree that pic isn't great.
But Val definitely has smaller head :)).
Not to mention, that Rourke looks much more massive against Val, who I always considered to be a big guy...

TheJerk says on 31/May/07
In that pic Eddie, Val could actually be the taller one. Not a great pic.

robotix says on 30/May/07
Batman Forever looked 6' against Jim Carey's 6'1.5"

OK, let's see what you will say now. Here's Val standing close to 5'11'' Mickey Rourke:

James says on 16/May/07
Dosent always come across as this height since he's always being pared with actors who are short buy wear lifts such Downey Jr and Tom Cruise

Alex (London, UK) says on 5/May/07
Has anyone else seen the movie 'Real Genius'?
Filmed in 1985 so Val would have been 26 years old.
He looks less than 6' in that film AND he goes around barefoot or in sandals quite a lot.
Check that film out and tell me if he WAS six foot back when he was 25 or so - NO WAY!

HellBoundPower says on 3/May/07
If you look at him next to Denzel Washington in Deja Vu, he looks like he has at least an inch on 6'0" Denzel, so I'd say 6'0.5"-6'1".

James says on 10/Mar/07
Certainley doesent look 6feet when stood next to Downey Jnr. Although Downey was probabley wearing lifts throughout that film.

James says on 2/Mar/07
When watching Spartan I noticed that he looked quite a bit taller than most people in that film?. I am guessing most of the cast must have been under 6feet either that or Val must be over this mark.

James says on 2/Mar/07
Looked 5-11 max when stood next to 5-10 Derek luke in the film Sparatan and infact in one scene looked an inch shorter.

glenn says on 27/Feb/07
i actually read 5-9 for kilmer once.saw him as recent as 3 months ago.he was still 6ft.

Shane says on 26/Feb/07
in batman forever he always looked the same or a half inch taller then 5'9 chris o'donnel

Viper says on 21/Feb/07
You could tell he gained some weight in the new movie with Denzel.

Brad says on 21/Feb/07
He's exactly 6'. I stood right next to him at the Beverly Garland Hotel in North Hollywood. Yes, he has become heavier.

sleuth says on 4/Dec/06
I remember "Real Genious" from '85. He looked tall even against tall actors like William Atherton. I don't know if he's started shrinking yet but I'd say 6'1" at his peak.

mcmallen says on 16/Nov/06
stood next to him at the baggage claim in Albuquerque airport a few years ago. He is about 6' tall, was kind of on the chunky side, and had a huge mole on his right jaw.

6ft for sure.so Colin looks close huh Rob? I once read 5-9 for Val!

If you watch TOMBSTONE he is always shorter than kurt russell, who is a short guy at around 5'9. They're both wearing cowboy boots so it works. Val is no 6 feet.

5'10 for val? i have never seen a picture of val where he looked anything under 6'...do you have a picture? everything i see he looks 6' -almost 6'1. he must wear lifts all the time if he really is under 6'.

don says on 25/Jun/06
there is no way, nooo way..hes 6'0....id go with 5'10...and thats pushing it

what do i know anyway says on 21/Jun/06
my wife was in a movie with kilmer (the saint). she is 5'8, and told me he was barely taller than her, shoes or not

Glenn says on 21/Jun/06
Ive read 5-9 as well.he is 6ft.

RWFender says on 20/Jun/06
well i recently saw the Salton Sea and Spartan and in both movies he looks a little over 6'...perhaps Downey Jr was wearing lifts or their was some camera tricks taking place?

dmeyer says on 20/Jun/06
he didnt look tall near dawney jr

RWFender says on 20/Jun/06
i think val is a solid 6' 1/2 tall...he really doesnt look less than this to me

The Horse of FUNK says on 5/May/06
I think this guy's a little over 6'. 6'0.5 sounds more accurate. It's pretty consistent with him and most sites don't pretend he's more or less.

Alex says on 24/Apr/06
He does look a good 6'0, maybe even 6'0.5. I've heard sightings of him only being 5'9-5'10. Thats hard to believe.

Bob says on 9/Apr/06
I, too, met Val at LAX when he was married to Joanne Whalley (Doors time). Unless he grea since then, he is no way 6 feet tall. 5'10'' at the most!!

Barry Lane says on 17/Mar/06
I met Val Kilmer on the set of Alexander, and no way was he a six footer.

ross says on 28/Feb/06
take into account his weight gain since his prime,it does matter.I'd say that at his prime when he got out of bed he was a solid 184 maybe even 184.5 which might be why hes hard to pin down.but today i wouldnt be surprised if he is this height when he wears shoes going to shoot a scene...

I think Mr.Kilmer is 6 ft; there are other stars taller than him; but I think he got a very masculan and attractive body. I have seen German and Swedish people who are 190 cm; but they don't have look as attractive as Mr. Kilmer. Being more than 180 cm does not mean you have a nice body. Mr. Brad Pitt is only 180 cm; but he is more attractive than others who are more than 185 cm.

Jiminy Christmas! Did you not read my earlier post? I've got a serious height complex (guesss that explains why I'm on this site, haha) and have become superb at estimating height as a result. Val Kilmer is no shorter than 6'0" and is in no way taller than 6'1". If I were a betting man I'd throw my money on the 6'0 1/2" spot. Remember, I've met him several times.

Viper652 says on 1/Nov/05
Val only 5-10??? Hes a solid 6 footer for sure.

Joe says on 31/Oct/05
There's a new movie coming out with Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. From the trailer it looked like there was an inch difference between the two of them (Kilmer of course the taller one). Downey must've been wearing lifts.

Mr. R says on 31/Oct/05
Anonymous, it has been well reported that in Top Gun, Val was forced to take off his shoes and socks, while Tom had on boots in all of their scenes together.

Anonymous says on 31/Oct/05
Yeah, but didnt someone say Cruise was in boots and Kilmer was barefoot in the bathroom scene of Top Gun? The lowest I would give Val is 5'11.5 but I have a hard time seeing him as anything but a solid 6 footer

Derek says on 31/Oct/05
I mean, when I saw Top Gun and Kilmer and Cruise were in the bathroom scene, Kilmer looked about 2 inches taller than Cruise. I think Cruise is 5'7" and Kilmer to be roughly 5'10 or 5'11.

Thomas says on 26/Oct/05
I've met him several times (parked his old GTO and his Volvo station wagon, haha). He was wearing normal shoes both times and was standing up straight with good posture. I'm 6'2" and a very good judge of height. An accurate estimate of his height is indeed between 6'0" and 6'0.5" Cool guy to boot.

Gigy says on 20/Jun/05
I would say he is 6'0! Which makes sense, cos in the scene in a movie where he played the blind guy and a lover of a women architect played by Mira Sorvino, who according to info on this site is 175 cm/5'9, he was clearly 9 cm taller than her! And if Mira Sorvino really is 5'9 feet tall, that his height of 6'0 makes sense!

Mr. R says on 19/May/05
But Fran, as I mentioned before, Val has given interviews saying that the director of top gun, tony scott, made him and Anthony Edwards take off their shoes and socks for all scenes that involved little Tom. He however, had on his boots, which gave him a boost in height.

Mr Luis says on 5/May/05
I think That Stallone was also 1.78 at his peak. There is a photo with Stallone and Denzel Washinton, and stallone looks the same height as the 6'ft actor, we know all that Stallone whores lifts, but lifts that makes you 3 inches taller would be to much.

And How tall do you think that Nicole Kidman is? ive Nicole Kidman is 5'9, tom cruise would be 5'6 or 5'5 1/2 ft. To me Val kilmer looks really 6'ft.

Mr Luis says on 4/May/05
Robert De Niro was in 1995 5'10 (1.78 cm), I can tell you that for sure.
Val Kilmer was also 2 inches taller than Nicole Kidman in Batman Forever. 6' ft seems to me about right.

Palladium says on 3/May/05
At, Heat he looks only two inches taller than Robert De Niro who is an reall 174, yes he looked like that. Well Val, possibly more like 180 (5'11").

Smoke says on 3/May/05
J. where did you hear him say he was 4'11" going into High School? That is an insane growth spurt indeed! I'm 4 years removed from entering high school and I entered high school at a good 5'8"-5'9", I'm now a shade over 6'1", I've grown 4, maybe 5 inches since then. That is really quite small next to Val! But nah, this guy has never looking anything less than a solid 6 footer.

J. says on 3/May/05
Here's something funny ... I was watching this old after-school special named One Too Many which starred Michelle Pfiffer and Val Kilmer as teens who drink and drive and live to regret it. Anyway, Val Kilmer didn't look 6 feet in that movie but it was filmed sometime in the early '80s and Val has said that he was 4'11" when he entered high school so maybe he just grew 13 inches or maybe ... not. That's a hell of a growth spurt if it's true.

J. says on 14/Mar/05
I have to say that Val Kilmer is the shortest 6 footer that I've ever seen. C'mon, don't let the lifts and camera angles fool you, guys. I don't know if Rob (the editor) will consider this but I remember a really insightful article once in an mainstream entertainment magazine from someone who worked on one of the Batman movies on which Val starred. He commented on Val's lack of height and the use of lifts to reach the 6 feet mark in height. He also alluded to the fact that some of the other actors considered for the Batman role, namely Mel Gibson; Alec Baldwin, are pretty small for the role. And even more telling is this article: http://www.vkn.com/kilmer/itas_31300.html. Quote from the article: "His appearance was comfortable; orangish color long sleeve shirt with a texture to it and jeans or Docker-like slacks. HE WAS SHORTER THAN I EXPECTED". No way in hell is he 6 feet.

Mr. R says on 14/Mar/05
Several years ago, I saw an article about Tom Cruise, and in commenting on his height, Val said that he had to take his shoes and socks off for the scenes in Top Gun. Val then says that he is a straight up six feet.
