ALESANDRA says on 22/Jan/10
I GUARANTEE YOU HE'S 6' TALL. FACE TO FACE AND I'M 5'5" AND HAD TO LOOK UP TO HIM.
Hugh 190-192cm says on 17/Jan/10
6"0.5 might be closer?
RisingForce says on 11/Dec/09
Alex, Tom Cruise wore lifts in Top Gun and I've even heard that Kilmer was barefoot during his scenes with Cruise to create the illusion that Cruise was taller than he really is.
guyfrommars says on 8/Dec/09
He wore cowboy boots in both Top Secret and The Doors.
TELLEM says on 7/Dec/09
he definetly lost height these days.
Alex2401 says on 6/Dec/09
Looks no more than 180cm next to Tom Cruise in Top Gun and shorter than Denzel W.
in Deja Vu
Anonymous says on 4/Dec/09
He definetly isn't 6'0" these days or even 5'11". weight and age must have made him lose height: Click Here
their shoes: Click Here
valeri says on 25/Sep/09
Frank 2 is dead on, if Kilmer looks taller to someone,then he is wearing lifts. Downey Jr without lifts looked only 3 inches under Kilmer.Also,Derek Luke looked at least an inch taller than Kilmer in their movie together and luke is not over 6ft. I trust franks judgment and always considered Kilmer around 5'11 myself.He looked 5'11 flat with downey Jr in Kiss kiss bang bang and same with the premiere photos of that movie with footwear seen and downey and kilmer were both in normal shoes.
Anonymous says on 11/Sep/09
looks about 6ft, maybe a tad under like 5' 11.75"
Frank2 says on 16/Aug/09
Well, I've seen him and up close and he's never looked any taller than I am and I'm 5'11".
Johnny G says on 14/Aug/09
Looks at least 6 feet.
Johnny G says on 14/Aug/09
about right - my goodness he put on weight
koriann says on 12/Aug/09
WOAH, and yea 6 feet
alexiel says on 8/Aug/09
he looks 180-181 here
RisingForce says on 5/Aug/09
Cage could be 6'1" is he stood up straight.
Mister Lennon says on 2/Aug/09
In the trailer of his new film with Nicholas Cage, the remake of bad litenaunt, he looks 2 inches shorter than Cage, who i think that was 6 or so. So, is cage wearing lifts or is kilmer shorter than 6 or is cage taller than 6??? Very confussing.
Hugh 191cm says on 13/Jul/09
You serious lenad, 6ft2! 183-184cm.
Lenad says on 11/Jul/09
Oh 6ft2...
Rika says on 7/Jul/09
Never did see him below 6'0. He does have a tall appearance but with other people he loses it. So above average.
Lenad says on 30/Jun/09
He looks the same height as Jim Carrey in Batman Forever due to Carreys bad posture and yes I think Kilmer is a strong 6ft0
peteyork says on 12/Jun/09
jf I wear a size 11 uk shoe, 11.5/12 US I am 5'10 3/4, have to say when I buy shoes the guys are normally a couple inches taller if not more. A 10 1/2 US is either 10 Uk or 9.5 Uk both pretty average sizes.
Barry Langcaster says on 9/Jun/09
From most of his films he does in fact apear right around 6' I think some excellent proof is in tombstone when the four of them are walking abreast towards the ok corral, you can easily see the heights in that scene Sam elliot is the tallest around 6'2 Val about 6' Bill Paxton a bit shoter 5'11 and Kurt around 5'10 or so. I too have seen Val in person but I was on higher ground and he was slouched a bit as he was passing by still seemed around 6'.
Tim says on 1/Jun/09
I have a friend who was working in a hotel where Val was staying, and delivered him room service. She says he was actually rather short - she guessed 5'7" or so. I always think she may have confused Kilmer for Tom Cruise, but she insists it was Val.
jf says on 25/May/09
I didn't hear that but it wouldn't surprise me if they were barefoot and Cruise was wearing high heels.
jf says on 24/May/09
"Uther2 says on 4/Jan/09
I don't think Val Kilmer is above 6 ft tall( he wears a size 10 1/2 shoe). I am 5 ft 11 3/4" and wear a 10 to 10 1/2 men's shoe (28-28.5 cm) and I really don't see too many guys at over 6 feet tall wearing anything smaller than this. Of course, you do occasionally find rare exceptions to the rule: The 5 ft 11 Brad Pitt and his size 9.5 shoes comes to mind-- So I suppose it's possible Val could be a 6-1 guy with very small feet."

I'm 182cm and wear size 12s. My fiancee's dad is 6'2" and wears size 9. Anyway, I don't think Kilmer ever hit 6' at his peak. I'd buy 5'11.5" but come on, look at him get in Tom Cruise's grille in Top Gun. I stand near 6'0" and if I got in Cruise's grille it would look more imposing than that. I'd say Kilmer peaked anywhere between 180-182cm. Solid height for a leading actor.
Hugh 190cm says on 21/May/09
I think he is 184cm now.
Hugh 190cm says on 19/May/09

Val looks Bruce Willis' height in this picture- 5'11". 6' in shoes. I hope that's not your day-to-day attire!
I'd look a bit frightened too.
Daii says on 21/Apr/09
Kilmer is definitely 6 foot on the dot there. No less than 183 cms, maybe 184. He did look 6 foot in Top Gun next to Cruise
Patricia Morrison says on 19/Mar/09
Jim was an even 6'0, or a hair under (I'm 5'8" myself); I have the mark on my kitchen door to prove it, measured when he was barefoot (and bare everything else too). When I met Val, I clocked immediately that he was noticeably taller than Jim had been, by how I had to reach up a bit farther when he greeted me with a hug and kiss. But he might have had boots on...
Doug says on 8/Mar/09
I;ve ALWAYS seen Kilmer listed as being 6.0.5" 184 cm. That must be his height in shoes as I think he is an inch shorter than this. David Thewlis towered him.
Jake says on 7/Mar/09
Id say 5'11.
Arnie says on 13/Feb/09
Thanks, James.
hollywood says on 12/Feb/09
My father is a furniture mover, and he once moved the set for the film "Willow". He met Val Kilmer, and he said he was a bit taller than Val (my dad is 6'1"), so Val couldn't be 6'. My dad put him at about 5'10".
Mamun says on 9/Feb/09
Thanks for clearing that up Alan R my friend ! I can promise you if you meet
him at a convention he will be nice to you . If not , tell him you will see
Supermun about his bad demeanor . After all I am the leader of Justice
League !

Regards

Supermun
Alan R says on 7/Feb/09
I was joking a bit in my previous post, but those two times he did have an angry look on , but it is true that I really dont know for sure what his demeanor is, I have heard of him being a nice guy too, so as you said Mamun mabey if I see him again he will be in a good mood, this pic= Batman meets Superman or should I say SuperMamun.
Anonymous says on 7/Feb/09
Hey Rob, there are two Val Kilmer pages.
Mamun says on 2/Feb/09
I found him as a very nice person too . I hope Alan R can catch him at a
better time ?

Mamun
Arnie says on 2/Feb/09
Dumb question here: what's the difference between a "strong" 6-0 and a "weak" 6-0?
Dr Almonds says on 31/Jan/09
Ive heard I cant recall from where that val when out in public sometimes has a sour look on his face but I have never heard of him giving people angry looks or bitter sneers, mabey he was just in a bad mood those times you said you seen him Alan R, but from what I heard about him is that he is a calm laid back nice guy but I have never met him myself, and finally about his height looks like a true 6 footer. About vals posture it does indeed apear that he knows this photo is being scrutinized for his height mabey Mamun told him what the pic was going to be used for ?
Alan R says on 30/Jan/09
Seems to be a nasty fellow seen him in person a few times riding a bicycle and another time walking with the bicycle one of the times he had sunglasses on and as I was walking past him he gave me a nasty,angry look both of the times and he was already looking at me before I noticed it was mr holiday with his nasty bitter look, I thought to my self what did I do to him but any way he looked about 6 give or take a centimeter.
rob89 says on 23/Jan/09
Looks closer to 5'11 with Mamun, even standing very straight, although i think he was for sure a full 6' in his 20's. He might still be it, but maybe just seems shorter now due to his weight gain. He's almost 50 now, so it's possible he shrunk, but i doubt it.
TELLEM says on 20/Jan/09
and thats why i said a weak 6'0 james, not 5'11 like frank2 said. and i know that aswell. i have a friend who i thought was my height, but is actually .5 inch over me
TELLEM says on 19/Jan/09
probably a weak 6'0. frank2 said he was his height
Tareq says on 15/Jan/09
Commenting in response to Uther2:
I really do not think that there is a direct co-relation between height and shoe size. I wear US size 11 shoes but I am only 5'10".
Anonymous says on 15/Jan/09
he looks more 5 ft 11.
Lenad says on 13/Jan/09
Actually if Manum took a step back Kilmer looks a solid 6'0.
Brent says on 5/Jan/09
182 cm
hassan says on 5/Jan/09
Is it me or does Val look constipated in that picture? talk about military posture LOL
Uther2 says on 4/Jan/09
I don't think Val Kilmer is above 6 ft tall( he wears a size 10 1/2 shoe). I am 5 ft 11 3/4" and wear a 10 to 10 1/2 men's shoe (28-28.5 cm) and I really don't see too many guys at over 6 feet tall wearing anything smaller than this. Of course, you do occasionally find rare exceptions to the rule: The 5 ft 11 Brad Pitt and his size 9.5 shoes comes to mind-- So I suppose it's possible Val could be a 6-1 guy with very small feet.
yoyo says on 27/Dec/08
his peak was 6ft0.5 once. Now a solid rocked 183ish..
Lenad says on 17/Dec/08
Without his hair he looks a strong 5'11 but I'll just trust the estimate from Rob.
Mister Lennon says on 11/Dec/08
Cb, Cruise was wearing big boots or lifts in that movie, Kilmer told that because the director didnt want him to looked so much taller than cruise who was the main role in the movie.

I think that Kilmer is a 6' guy. Maybe a weak one, but 6'.
cb says on 10/Dec/08
Definitely not 6". 181cm at the very best. Compare him to Robert Downey JR. or to Tom Cruise. There is a very good pic with him and Cruise from Top GUN. There are both in the locker room. Conisder, Tom Cruise is never in life above 1,70cm (probably under that, personal guess 1,68cm. Kilmer towers him over 10cm but not more. Sorry I don't know how to upload pics.
TELLEM says on 8/Dec/08
that wouldn't help nothing, because ppl will still argue over it
TELLEM says on 22/Nov/08
James says on 20/Nov/08
TELLEM do you belive Val Kilmer is 6feet?

yes maybe a half inch to an inch shorter
TELLEM says on 17/Nov/08
James says on 17/Nov/08
TELLLEM Frank2 did say this guy could be 5ft10 as well.

frank2 said that him and kilmer were looking eye to eye and said he was 5'11..
TELLEM says on 17/Nov/08
de niro looked shorter than usual to me in that movie
Jay says on 15/Nov/08
watched Heat again last night, didn't see 6ft once for this guy. Deniro looked taller then usual in that movie.
TELLEM says on 15/Nov/08
frank2 could have been right when he saw this guy at 5'11
Alex says on 14/Nov/08
James, I am not big on the whole "stone" measurements because for certain weights in pounds there isn't an exact stone measurement.
Eddy says on 14/Nov/08
he is arround 181cm
but not over this height
Alex says on 14/Nov/08
He has Mamun by a good 3 inches and he's further away from the camera. Val is easily 6'0, likely around 6'0 1/2.

Danimal, maybe today he's 5'11.5 or around there but was taller at his peak.
Barry says on 22/Oct/08
Was he the tallest Batman? Keaton is 5'7 or 5'8 I think, what height was Clooney? Bale must be 6ft aswell.
Anonymous says on 16/Oct/08
5'11 shoeless and 5 10.5 at night...
RisingForce says on 10/Oct/08
He's 6'0" and his cowboy boots gave him a bit of an advantage but Mamun does have the camera advantage.
Hugh says on 9/Oct/08
184-185cm sounds right.
Danimal says on 8/Oct/08
I say 5'11.5"-5'11.75".
Clay says on 7/Oct/08
6'0-6'0.5.
Alex says on 7/Oct/08
Mamum is closer to the camera by more than a bit and it looks easily 3-4 inches there. Val could be pushing 6'1 if both were at the same level from the camera.
Kara Nachiko says on 7/Oct/08
looks pretty close to 6 ft 1.
Anonymous says on 19/Sep/08
Frank2 ,what kind of footwear you and him were wearing when you met him?
Hugh says on 10/Sep/08
I wouldn't go below 6ft for this guy. Probably closer to 6ft1.
ralf says on 9/Sep/08
he looks 5'11" with mamun
Mr. R says on 6/Aug/08
Val has a starring role in one of the "Tom Cruise is short" stories. Apparently for Top Gun, the director, (Ridley Scott?) was trying to geth the scene when Val and Tom were walking from the planes together. According to Kilmer, the director could not shoot the scene without Cruise looking like a shrimp. Therefore, Val, described as 6 feet tall, had to take off his shoes and socks when acting with Cruise. Of course Cruise was in thick soled boots. Note that when they appear together, none of the shots show their feet!
Frank2 says on 5/Aug/08
When I've seen him we've been eye-to-eye the same height and I'm 5'11".
dits says on 4/Aug/08
i saw him years ago and he definitely looked like a 6 footer,no question.i just saw a pic of his,he's really got a stomach now though.and is it drastic!

I am not a professional body builder but I love the sport and I also train
other people in BodyBuilding as well as power lifting . An amazing fact about
Powerlifting that you good people do not know ! It can actually make you add
inches to your height instead of what most people around the world believe
that it makes you shorter . I am one good example !

wow he has put on weight!

If Mamun do powerlifting then I'm a bodybuilder :D
Britney says on 29/Jul/08
Hey Mamun ! are you a body builder?
SuperAnonymous says on 29/Jul/08
Look at Val's posture. Looks like he knows his height is being scrutinized. Why else would he stand in an uptight military pose like that? I see 3 inches differences (remember Val's hair are more poofy than mamun). So if Mamum is 5'8", that makes Val 5'11" tops.
christiansbale says on 26/Jul/08
A piece on the man in question done on the Biography channel had him saying that he was 4'11 when he was 16.
mikec says on 23/Jul/08
this dude looks tall in all the movies i've seen him in(not that many but, batman, kiss kiss bang bang, and the doors) he probaly is 6' but looks like he's like 6'1. well to me he does.
BK_Daniel says on 16/Jul/08
There seemed to be less than an inch difference in height with Denzel in Deja Vu. Maybe over 6 feet isn't likely because he has a very good posture, which gives him the appearence of being taller but he's definetly atleast 6 feet.
Mamun says on 1/Jun/08
Yes and a bit taller !

Mamun
runt says on 1/Jun/08
Is Mamun 5-8 morning?
John Jay says on 21/May/08
Ok, more like 5'11.75 to 6'.
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.
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 !

For me, Val always looked in his movies as a strong 5´11 or a weak 6.
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 !

1.5 inches of heels . I couldn't tell if had extra lifts on those or not .
But he was a very nice guy !

Mamun, was Val wearing lifts, looks 6ft1-6ft2 in that photo.
Mamun says on 14/Mar/08
Your wellcome james !
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
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.
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.
Jim says on 4/Mar/08
Val is a solid 6ft! Pictures arent always great for showing height
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!
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.
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

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.
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.

[Editor Rob: you don't mess with Supermum, one wrong look and you'll turn to stone....just like Val Kilmer here!]
nick says on 27/Feb/08
rob,about an 45 min

[Editor Rob: well that's dedication, good work.]
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”.
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!

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

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

[Editor Rob: that's always the thing. How much effect does it have if one is 3-4 inches closer. Depends on both how close the cameraperson is and how tall the person taking pic is.]
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 ,

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.

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

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.
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.
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)!
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

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"
Eddie says on 29/May/07
OK, let's see what you will say now. Here's Val standing close to 5'11'' Mickey Rourke:

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".
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
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.
Anonymous says on 15/Feb/07
I just dont see 6ft, looks 5'11 to 5'11.5
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.
antron says on 3/Oct/06
lets check the formatting on this page Rob
Brad says on 15/Sep/06
They've got Downey on a phone book. Val is 6'.
dmeyer says on 2/Aug/06
in this film they apeared close in height in that movie robert apear 178
Anonymous says on 29/Jul/06
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.
MOF says on 16/Jul/06
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.
