I thought he looked 5'11 in Fast and the Furious. Now Paul Walker could have passed for as much as 6'2 in that film.

glenn says on 5/Jan/09
possible leung.they must have a different style then.i finally tried the common style.not sure how extravagant a height difference there was.taller,no doubt.but not big lifts.

Leung says on 4/Jan/09
Those weird looking shoes Pacino is wearing look like MBT orthopaedic shoes.

James says on 4/Jan/09
Looked an easy 6footer in the Fast and the Furious. People go on about his massive footware, I wonder how many inches they boost his height in reality?

Alex says on 4/Jan/09
Complex, yea but I think taking mid day-late afternoon is very fair to take because late evening you can sometimes dip a bit below your lowest height.

Complex says on 3/Jan/09
I buy that alex, I really do, although I think those are their mid-day heights, late in the evening they are likely a tad shorter, I think Walker is 6'1 late evening height...

RisingForce says on 3/Jan/09
I'd love even just a Scarface DVD signed. That's one of my 10 favorite movies easily.

glenn says on 3/Jan/09
his autograph had improved tremendously.if you get him at the right time.worse autograph ever.a circle or check mark in some cases for al.now,on occasion you get a nice one.kinda says his name in a circles like script.need him on my cruising and scarface vinyl.

Brad says on 3/Jan/09
I don't think Pacino cares outside of movie sets. Those things Rising posted by the police car are monsters with the wedge hidden. I bet he gets fed up with people slinging "Scarface" stuff for him to sign but that's where the cheese is for dealers. I need him on my original Scarface poster. I got most of other leads to sign it. His autograph is like Costner's, an initial.

Alex says on 2/Jan/09
Vin-5'11
Paul Walker-6'1 1/2

glenn says on 2/Jan/09
brad is right that compared to the others pacino doesnt care about his height.only if you compare.

glenn says on 2/Jan/09
geez.never knew he wore lifts risingforce.great work.however i did see him close to my height one time in 1994.in funny shoes.

RisingForce says on 2/Jan/09
So you think Vin Diesel and Chuck Norris are about the same height Brad?

I'm not sure that Pacino doesn't care about his height though.
Click Here

Even at 68 his sneakers still look swollen. He wore lifts in the Godfather films, big heels in ...And Justice For All, huge heels in Scarface, huge heels in the Devil's Advocate. Pacino obviously trys to look taller, but when you're 5-5 you'll look short even in big heels.

Ben says on 2/Jan/09
I cant see him being 6ft. He looks 5'11 tops.

Brad says on 2/Jan/09
Burt Reynolds wore the most ridiculous footwear ever...gigantic heels, stilts and even wedged up sneakers of hilarious kind that only Roger Daltrey/Downey Jr. have nuggets to wear. Downey Jr. is next, those sneaker things are funny. Vin can do stunts as Madonna can dance and run around for 2+ hours in 4" customs and look like she's in dancer pumps. Norris & Vin have similar size lift in inches. Both wear big ones. At 6' 1" plus Vin boot crushers he'd own Norris big time. He'd be 6' 3" every single day. Vin has serious height issues in his brain like Sly does...funny how Pacino & Hoffman don't really care.

Complex says on 1/Jan/09
He's prolly 5'10 and a bit in the evening and maybe 5'11 morning height, but 5'11 is him at best!

Alex says on 1/Jan/09
A 5'11 Vin would put Walker at pushing 6'2 which seems to be right.

RisingForce says on 1/Jan/09
Hugh, Vin is not 6-2. That's for sure. He wouldn't claim 6-1 if he was. Glenn, Leung and Rob are all right. He's 6-0 or 5-11.5 at the very least.

RisingForce says on 1/Jan/09
Funny post Brad and I agree that Vin's footwear can look silly sometimes but Robert Downey Jr. owns the title of most ridiculous footwear.I can't think of another celebrity that would try stuffing 2 inch lifts into normal sneakers not built for lifts. He pretty much falls out of his shoes at times!

Burt Reynolds also looked like he was walking on stilts in the 70's.

I'm curious though about what you mean when you say him and Norris cancel eachother out.

glenn says on 31/Dec/08
that cause you never saw him alex.

Hugh says on 31/Dec/08
Vin is 6ft to 6ft2.

Ed(1) says on 31/Dec/08
The problem to me with Vin being more like 5ft10 or shorter, is how the hell does he perform all his stunts and action scenes while running around in supposed 3-4" lifts? I don't dount he might pull out some bigger heels for events and talkshows where he might be made to look shorter(Conan O'Brien for example), but for movies that seems pretty far-fetched.

In the Norris pic I'm guessing he's wearing lifts and Diesel is in more normal footwear. I don't know... it's strange?! If Norris is 5ft8.5 with a 2+ inch heeled cowboy boot and a possible 1" lift inside, he'd be 5ft11.5 or so, and Vin looks to have about a 0.5" or so on Norris.

5ft11 minimum for Diesel sounds about right, and 6ft1-6ft2 in his 'special' boots.

Alex says on 31/Dec/08
I can't go as high as 6'0 for Vin. If he's 6'0 then Paul Walker is pushing 6'3 which he's not IMO. Vin is probably 5'10.5-5'11 and Paul is 6'1-6'1 1/2.

Brad says on 31/Dec/08
Vin's dress shoes when he knows he's going to be Papped is lifts of the giant kind. Norris & Vin cancel out and we get Vin's height. Vin wears the most ridiculous footwear of any celeb except Bozo The Clown or Ronald McDonald.

anonymous says on 30/Dec/08
6 foot.

RisingForce says on 30/Dec/08
Here's the Chuck Norris picture again.
Click Here

We can't see their footwear and Vin is half an inch taller. Norris is about 5-9 and for all we know he could be in his 3 inch cowboy boot/lift combo. Vin could be in dress shoes too.

If Norris is 5-9 and in his cowboy boots/lifts and Vin is 5-11.5 and in normal shoes then that makes sense in that picture.

glenn says on 30/Dec/08
if he isnt 6ft,then i saw him a half inch or more taller than my 5-11 friend,in more normal footwear.so ill settle with 5-11.5 min.6ft max.

Complex says on 30/Dec/08
5'11 max, 6'0 barefoot is just way too high for Diesel.

Brad says on 29/Dec/08
He can't be 6', he was the exact same height as Chuck Norris in a photo. Norris would be over 6' 2" in boots. Anjunagirl is correct with the line-up FATF photo. He's rockin' in big boys. Can't wait for the next FATF. Those crazies are on I-10 at midnight hauling A by Fontana.

glenn says on 29/Dec/08
leung would know for many reasons.for one,i saw vin look an astonishing 6-2 or more in big boots 6 to 8 weeks ago.his body looked nothing short of a 6ft man.2 years ago i couldnt figure out if he was 5-11.5 or 6ft when i saw him then.so he is 6ft if he gave me an illusion of near 6-3.

Danny says on 29/Dec/08
Leung how the hell would you know?

miko says on 29/Dec/08
I think he's 5"11 flat, 5"11 at the max. Add a 3" wedge under his toes and he can look 6"2.

Catch him on a beach barefoot to find the truth.

RisingForce says on 29/Dec/08
Leung says on 28/Dec/08
For some weird reason Vin Diesel is another highly targeted celebrity on this website for short estimates. He looks 6’ to me. Worse case scenario he may be a smidge under. The 5’10” estimates are just wrong.

I agree 100%. As I keep saying he's 5-11.5/6-0. Glenn can back that up.

Anjunagirl says on 28/Dec/08
Well, Rising Force, fun to read your patronising reply.

I don't "claim" his 6'1" height is evidence he is only 5'10", just offering to show how the difference can be achieved. I don't know if he is personally claiming 6'1" or not, having only what I've read on here to go by. I have no idea whether he measures himself in boots and then adds an inch, if you read my post properly you'll see I was suggesting that's how it could add up.

However I would refer to your post of 17 December where you state you think he is 6' in bare feet:

"Complex, learn to read. I said he can appear that height in boots. I think he's 6 foot barefoot."

He patently cannot be six foot barefoot as he only just achieves around that height in lifts. If you generously say there is only one inch of height(but probably more) between him and Paul Walker in the photo I linked to in my last post, and if you allow that Paul is 6'2", then you can easily see how Vin is only 5'10" -ish.

Which in itself is all assumption. I prefer to believe my brother (5'8") who spent some time with him in the course of his work, and could see for himself that Vin was only scraping around 6' because of his big boots. But anyone with even the tiniest sense of size and proportion can tell by watching any of his movies, that he's not six foot - or is that just a "female" thing? Sorry, my turn to be patronising!

Midget says on 28/Dec/08
I agree RisingForce, with those boots he is wearing in those pics it is very possible he has a height boost of 2.5" to 3.5".Great pics by the way.

Leung says on 28/Dec/08

Rob, these surely can't be the 1.6", 1.7" boots you were talking about Vin wearing.

I personally think Vin is a pretty tall guy but I'm sure he wears lifts. He's among the obvious lift wearers like Sly, Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr.

Those boots are massive, he may even be getting 3.5" from those with lifts, atleast 3 inches.

Complex says on 27/Dec/08
Statham is really more 5'8 so them saying 6'0 in that movie must of just been "the hollywood effect" to make the movie better. For Vin I think he could get away with 5'11 even though in the evening I think he's more in the 5'10 range, but 6'0-6'1 is a stretch...

RisingForce says on 27/Dec/08

She's in heels and he's in dress shoes but she's atleast an inch taller there.

The tallest that could put him there considering footwear is about 5-11.5 and the shortest is about 5-10.

Nope, nothing that weird about a 5-11.5, 6-0 guy claiming 6-1.

anonymous says on 27/Dec/08
He always looks 6 foot. In the movie death race they said jason statham was 6 foot when he is 5 foot 9. Vin diesel is more built than him and he looks taller too. 5 foot 11 at the lowest and 6 foot at the highest.

Brad says on 26/Dec/08
Claiming 6' 1" is laughing gas.

Danny says on 25/Dec/08
Leung you wish you had Vin Diesels body.

Brad says on 25/Dec/08
Was a NYC bouncer. Like Chuck Zito, those guys only come on like an army of one.

Complex says on 24/Dec/08
He's 5'10 and maybe a tad in the evening and likely closer to 5'11 in the morning, 6'0 came from way out in left field and he musta claimed 6'1 because his arms are so big and he's pretty strong so he feels 6'1, but just cuz you feel that height doesn't mean you are, watch knock around guys, you'll be astonished to see him barely taller than 5'9 barry pepper and that's in huge boots! If I were having a good day and felt like letting celebs have a little more height than I think they are, I would say Vin might be 5'11,but I wouldn't go over that!

t. says on 24/Dec/08
I am 5 7 1/2 and standing next to him at the airport....he was barely as tall as me. No way no how is he 6'......

anonymous says on 24/Dec/08
He looks 6 foot to me. In fast and furious there are two inches difference between him and 6 foot 2 paul walker. He is not overrated, he has a proportionate body. Maybe he does only work out on his arms but they are huge. They r like coming out of his shirt. He is a good actor who doesnt get good reviews. I want his body one day. He is naturally built. He doesnt use enhancements.

RisingForce says on 24/Dec/08
What a terrible post Anjunagirl

So you say his 6-1 claim is evidence that he's 5-10? That makes no sense. How would you know that he'd measure himself in boots and then add an inch? His 6-1 claim is really irrelevant to how tall he his because he isn't 6-1 and we have no idea where he got the 6-1 figure from.

He could be giving himself an inch or 2 over his barefoot, he could have measured himself in some kind of footwear or he could have just made up the 6-1 figure and got it from nowhere.

Brad says on 24/Dec/08
Same height as Paul Walker? He's wearing Munsters. Walker took Vin's advice and had flats to make Vin taller. Those Munsters have at least 3" (2 out, 1 wedge) taking him to new heights. Fits. I agree, he is a mean machine, don't kid yerself, he's a built like a one man army.

Anjunagirl says on 23/Dec/08
"RisingForce says on 11/Dec/08
Anjunagirl, of course he's shorter than he claims. He claims to be 6-1 and nobody is saying he is. We all know he wears lifts too but that's how he gives some people the impression that he's 6-3, 6-4. He's 6-0." ????

Ok 6'1" is his claim, minus an inch for exageration, minus 2" for his lifts brings him down to 5'10". Now look at this:

Click Here


I'd say a good 2.5" shorter than Paul Walker, who is supposedly 6'2". Minus the (at least 1") heels on his boots and voila, there's the 5'10" I said before. He IS NOT 5'11" or over. Dream on.

MD says on 23/Dec/08
Yeah, Vin has a decent body, but it's nothing special. He's big-boned and solid, but that's about it. He doesn't really have any defintion, at all.

RisingForce says on 23/Dec/08
I already have a really low body % with my veins always sticking out. The problem is I'm really small in general, although to get a build like Sly's that actually might be a blessing in disguise. He got skinny with a really low body fat % and put on muscle ounce by ounce. That's what I'd like to do. The problem for me is genetics, Sly at his thinnest in his adult life was 155....I've never been close to that.

I think he got too big in Rambo 3, he added 20 pounds of solid muscle onto his Rambo 2 build.

I'd never want to have a build like Vin honestly. I'd rather have a slimmer athletic build even like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 1.

Kurt Russell must have worked out like a madman for Solider too. At 46 he transformed his body and he was really ripped but still lean. He looked much better than Vin too.

leonari says on 22/Dec/08
Vin has barely ANY definition if you ask me. His body fat must be over 10 % probably around 12-13%. Sly in Rocky III was around 3.8 % which already a bit unhealthy. You shouldn't go below 4 %.

James says on 22/Dec/08
Vin defnintly has a mezomorphic build though.

Complex says on 22/Dec/08
Personally i'm into the more thin builds, like Pitt from fight club, but leung is right, reynolds in blade trinity or amityville horror even had a very solid build, very ripped. Vin isn't as much as a ripped guy but he does have rockets for arms, that's what makes him look so big, is his arms. Rambo was shredded in Rambo 2 but a little too much for the way i would want to look, when veins start poking out, it's a little much, but i agree that low body fat percentage is essential in a good build.

RisingForce says on 22/Dec/08
I agree Leung. Sly in Rambo 2 is what I'd want to look like. His body fat % is low and he's lean but he's ripped.

He trained with Franco Columbu for that movie and it showed.

I'm starting to agree with you Glenn, possibly is just under 6'.

Leung says on 21/Dec/08
Anonymous,
A genuinely impressive physique would be Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity or Stallone in Rambo 2.

Diesel’s physique is overrated; I see many guys with similar build at the gym. Look at his shirtless photos, he has big arms but the rest of his muscle development looks unsymmetrical. It appears that he spends a lot of time working out his arms and not much else, and in my opinion he doesn’t look ripped.

anonymous says on 21/Dec/08
He is the most built guy i have ever seen. He has the build of a 6 footer. He is ripped and built. In all his movies, he looks like a 6 footer.

glenn says on 19/Dec/08
5-10 is too low.6ft most likely.5-11.5 min.

TELLEM says on 18/Dec/08

RisingForce says on 18/Dec/08
Complex says on 17/Dec/08
Rising Force I can read and you said he looks like a legit 6'2-6'3 guy in boots, if someone were a legit 6'2-6'3, then there a legit 6'2-6'3, if they look that height "in boots" then saying "legit" would't make sense. Legit means they are legitamately that height. You said he looks like a legit 6'2-6'3 guy in boots, you're wording was confusing, it woulda been better to say he looks 6'2-6'3 in boots but when you say the words "legit 6'2-6'3 guy" whether you say boots or not ppl assume you are saying "legit 6'2-6'3 guy". A legit 6'2 6'3 guy can wear boots too, we coulda took it as he were a legit 6'2,6'3 guy that wears boots and reaches higher. But non-the-less he's not 6'0. 5'11 I could buy, 5'10 too. 6'0 iswishful thinking...

I meant when wearing the boots he looks like a legit 6'2" guy meaning he reaches atleast 6'3" in them because a legit 6'2" guy(Samuel L Jackson) would be 6'3" in normal shoes and Vin was atleast as tall as him in those pictures, maybe taller.

I don't rule out Vin's boots giving near 4" but still there's no way he's under 5'11".

James says on 18/Dec/08
Vin is minimum 182cm

Complex says on 18/Dec/08
Lol brad, great saying "tread of a firestone 14incher". Vin is 5'10 or in that region (evening). Knockaround guys, he's 0.5 inches taller than Barry Pepper & That's in his huge boots, I've heard anything from flat 5'9 for Barry Pepper to 5'10 max, so take it for what it's worth.

Ed(1) says on 18/Dec/08
So Brad do you think he's around 5ft10, and gets 4 inches of lift in his boots? That seems a little extreme! He was around the same height as Paul Walker(6ft2) in TFATF, and Walker was wearing Converse All-Stars with 0.5" heel to Vin's big boots. I can see him getting maybe 2.5" in lift from his custom boots, but that's about it. The guy would be barely able to walk let alone run and perform stunts in 4" heeled Frankenstein boots!

5ft11 barefoot and 6ft1+ seems about as low as I'd go for Vin.

Brad says on 17/Dec/08
Ed hasn't seen Vin with Chuck Norris who lives in cowboy boots. Vin must have found a cobbler fixing him up with giant custom wedges in 2" heeled cowboy boots. I wonder if he's falling forward with each step. I wonder if people know they are sick of him in Munster boots with tread off a Firestone 14 incher.

I can see 5ft11-6ft for Vin, and near 6ft2 in his boots! These 5ft9-5ft10 claims really seem a little low for the guy. It's obvious he likes to be taller, hence the giant heeled boots he's always seen with, but I have a hard time seeing him under 5ft11.

James says on 17/Dec/08
I woulden't rule out 184cm for Vin its a possibility.

i thought so too midget.i too saw and believed 5-11.5 in his construction boots.this time in cowboy type boots he was 6-2 or more.i was shocked.so that why i say 6ft minimum.

Brad says on 17/Dec/08
6' means the November 29th photo of Vin with Chuck Norris has Chuck being 6'. Chuck has never seen 6' in his life, or close to it barefoot, neither has Vin, king of the giant customs 24/7 and 365.

RisingForce says on 17/Dec/08
Complex, learn to read. I said he can appear that height in boots. I think he's 6 foot barefoot.

Midget says on 17/Dec/08
Glenn, I still think he is between 180cm and 182cm and just under 6'.With Vin always wearing those chunky boots it is really hard to guage his barefoot height. My exactly 6' friend met him in a club when he was wearing what appeared to be dress shoes and he looked 183cm-184cm. Only an estimate of course but food for thought.

Complex says on 17/Dec/08
Rising Force Vin at a legit 6'2-6'3 really is one of the funnier things i've heard on this site, that would make Paul Walker like 6'5-6'6 and Samuel L. Jackson in that case would also be like 6'6. He's 5'10-5'10.5, in huge boots with lifts prolly hits 6'0 or slightly over. He was taller than 5'9 something Barry Pepper by 0.5-1 inch and that's in his hefty boots!! Vin @ legit 6'2-6'3 is crazy, legit means those would be his evening heights, so if that were true rising force then you're saying it's possible that he's a legit 6'3 and in the morning would be about 6'3.75, thats getting absurd. 5'11 max & that's generous. Of course im refering to barefoot evening height.

glenn says on 16/Dec/08
vin was 6-2 in boots recently when i saw him.the man is 6ft.

TELLEM says on 16/Dec/08
i dnt even think samuel jackson is 6'2...more like 6'1 peak! look at him w/ 6'0 john travolta in pulp fiction...so if disel can reach 6'1.5 in his lifts then hes 5'10.5

James says on 16/Dec/08
lol 6ft2.5 next to Samuel L Jackson.

RisingForce says on 16/Dec/08
He looks like a legit 6-2, 6-3 guy next to Samuel L Jackson. Of course the boots add a ton of height but he's not under 5-11.

Complex says on 15/Dec/08
Vin would is probably closer to 5'9 than 6'0! Not saying he's 5'9, just saying if he were measured he'd be closer to 5'9 than closer to 6'0. I think he's 5'10. 6'0 or maybe a tad over in huge boots. Seriously guys, his boots alone are enough to realize he's not 6'0! Since he only looks 6'0 in them.

James says on 15/Dec/08
Christopher 6ft5 is prettey so your quite lucky in some respects. I know for guys of your height it can be a pain in the kneck to buy clothes sometimes.

Hugh, I think everyone is laughing at your 6-0 and 6-1 claim. If that were true Vin would be looking 6-3-6-4 in his huge ass boots.

Reality Check says on 14/Dec/08
Melanie Thierry is 5ft 3in and when she's in the bathroom, face to face with Diesel in Babylon A.D. well it's the same difference between me and my mom and I'm 5ft 10.5in and my mom is 5ft 3in..There's no shoes, etc. to make him taller in that scene..He's 5ft 10in - 5ft 11in TOP.

Hugh says on 13/Dec/08
I'd say between 6ft and 6ft1. Definately not 5ft10 or 5ft11 lol.

anonymous says on 13/Dec/08
I believe vin has super powers, possibly gama ray, and can increase his height at will.....anywhere from 5'10" to 6'4"....The Incredible Vin!!!

James says on 13/Dec/08
No one really said he looked 6ft3 or 6ft4, but he can look anything from 6ft.05-6ft2 in my opinion.

Complex says on 13/Dec/08
I'm sorry but Vin never gives the impression of 6'3 or 6'4, if ppl are assuming cuz he's built and always plays the tough guy in movies therefore he must be 6'3 or 6'4 then that just doesn't make sense. Before I was concerned with heights I woulda thought him to be taller cuz of his build and the movies he plays in generally are in his favor height was, but after comparison to walker, jackson, and 5'9ish-5'10max barry pepper, 5'10 is certainly possible. Maybe he's 5'10 barefoot, 6'0 in his boots and in his hugest boots with lifts might graze 6'1. I mean he was 0.5 inch max taller than 5'9-5'10 barry pepper and that was with him in boots and pepper in casual. Makes me wonder if he doesn't go a tad under 5'10 in the evening! Either way he's far from 6'0 barefoot!

Lmeister says on 12/Dec/08
I don't understand obsessing over size. Vin is not a small dude and has good built when he is in shape, though lately he has not been in top shape. I think a guy who looks like Jason Statham muscular, but still really athletic is cooler look than a beefcake munster look :)

RisingForce says on 12/Dec/08
I agree with you Leung. Wahlberg looked to have less body fat and he seemed to be more cut. I'd rather be built like Mark was actually.

Viper says on 11/Dec/08
Vin isnt THAT much bigger than Wahlberg actually. Vin's shoulders and chest dont match his massive arms. And I bet Mark beats him lower body wise. Vin should weigh a lot more with how big his arms are.

Why you laughing Clay? If you compare Wahlberg and Vin Diesel at their physical peak, then Wahlberg craps all over Vin Diesel.
Diesel only had size, but Wahlberg had size and conditioning. Diesel’s physique has never been anything special.

RisingForce says on 11/Dec/08
Anjunagirl, of course he's shorter than he claims. He claims to be 6-1 and nobody is saying he is. We all know he wears lifts too but that's how he gives some people the impression that he's 6-3, 6-4. He's 6-0.

Clay says on 10/Dec/08
HAHAH Vin is way bigger than Wahlberg.

Anjunagirl says on 9/Dec/08
I've added this comment before on here but it seems to have dropped off. My brother was assistant manager at The Strand theatre in London back in 2002, just after XXX came out Vin went to watch Dame Judi Dench at that theatre. My brother, who is 5'9", had the job of meeting, greeting and showing him to his seat, and spent quite some time with him. He said Vin was barely much taller than him, and was smaller than he appears on screen. I'm afraid, RisingForce, that Vin is actually quite a few hairs, if not a whole wig, under 5'11". There were several gossipy articles in UK daily papers around that time, all along the lines of "what Hollywood action star isn't as tall as he says" and reporting that staff at Vin's hotel were saying his shoes had seriously large lifts (he had left them outside the door for cleaning ...)

james says on 9/Dec/08
He looked shorter than Samuel Jackson in XXX, and shorter than Paul Walker in Fast and the Furious. With that, i'd say he looks about 5'10'', 5'11. His shoulders aren't broad enough to make him that imposing. Would you say that his arms are bigger than Mark Wahlberg's? They look like they have the same build to me. I'd say 16 inch arms.

James says on 9/Dec/08
Like Vin Disel 6footers can give of a 6ft1-6ft2 impression just like Vin did in Saving Private Ryan. For pity sake Brad Garrett didn't make him look that small really.

RisingForce says on 8/Dec/08
Vin is not a hair under 5'11".

Complex says on 5/Dec/08
That was me that posted the big post about knockaround guys and barry pepper, forgot my name, but look at this guys, Diesel was 1/2 inch max over 5'9-5'10 Pepper and Diesel was in huge boots. This really makes me question Diesel. Diesel was also under Malkovich listed at 6'0 but could be less, I haven't really did too much research on Malkovich but Diesel at the very best time of the day could be 5'11, but 5'10 range is better for him. Like I said, w/o his boots, he might be under Pepper! The boots were huge! He also looked small in Triple X compared to Jackson and pretty much everyone, lol! There's a club scene where they go to throw Diesel out of the room and two big guys stand up to bounce him out and Diesel looks extremely small compared to them, not muscle small cuz he's built, but definately not 6'0!

Viper says on 5/Dec/08
I can buy just under 5-10 as well.

RisingForce says on 5/Dec/08
Vin could maybe get 3.25", 3.5" if he's lucky with lifts and those boots.

Davidoff says on 5/Dec/08
He is 177cm

Viper says on 5/Dec/08
And he could have lifts inside those boots.

James says on 5/Dec/08
Ha he looks like he could give on an impression of 6ft4 or 6ft5 in that pic (Vin Disel is who I am talking about).

Brad says on 5/Dec/08
The Chuck Norris photo is proof positive he isn't near 6'. Look at the 3" big tread whoppers Rising posted. He's like Downey Jr.: screw stealth, here I am wearing whoppers. I haven't seen that style since The Clash in '82.

Jay says on 4/Dec/08
look at the size of these boots

Click Here

Clay says on 4/Dec/08
It could be, who am I to say it definitely isnt, but they would all have to be chronic lift wearers to be those heights.

Viper says on 3/Dec/08
Avery could be 6-3. Also I think there is a small chance Vin could be under 5-10 because of knock around guys. This guy lives in those huge boots, yet he didnt even look 6-0 in that movie.

James says on 3/Dec/08
So Viper you say Will is 6ft or a bit more? Then do you also belive James Avery is 6ft3?

Viper says on 3/Dec/08
Those certaintly look right Clay. I could be marginally off on Will but the others are very correct.

Viper says on 3/Dec/08
Yeah, Vin barely looked taller than 5-10 Barry Pepper in that movie in his huge boots.

RisingForce says on 3/Dec/08
Anonymous, if Vin was standing straight in that first pictue you'd notice a bigger difference. As far as the Norris picture well Norris probably isn't 5-8 either.

Anonymous says on 3/Dec/08
Ok 5'10 is not a stretch, obviously you guys haven't watched knockaround guys, Vin is no more than a quarter inch, half inch max over questionable 5'10 barry pepper and 5'10 andy davoli. And keep in mind he wears his trademark boots in the film, this really makes me wonder...

Check this, Diesel in his usual monster boots, 5'9ish-5'10 max barry pepper plus diesel has road advantage, plenty through-out they movie he was no more than 1' taller than pepper if that.
Click Here

Seriously I doubt he hits 5'11 much less 6'0. I would but just under 5'11,like 5'10.75, but that's the most.


***Oh and about this "why would a 5'10 guy claim 6'1" well we can drop that, reason 1 he's a star, reason 2, everyone inflates and I swear I know ppl that inflate as much as four inches. Matter a fact I have a cousin, claims 5'10, he's 5'6 prolly evening, 5'6.5 on a good day. Now someone couldn't argue that my cousin must be atleast 5'9 otherwise he wouldn't claim that high cuz obviously he's lying by more than that.

I know another guy, 5'11 maximum but likely 5'10.75, claims 6'1. I mean I could go on all day. I mean yeah, assuming the whole world is honest and ok withtheir height then it would seem absurd, but obviously that's not the case. Diesel does look taller than he is prolly cuz he's an action star well built and portrays the tough guy in alot of his movies. Makes sense.

Oh & this is my personal opinion, but P.Swayze is 5'8. He's always been short, watch Road House, Ghost, Fatherhood, he is seriously 5'8 no where close to 5'10. Maybe someone could talk me into believing 5'9 morning height for Swayze but that's at best.

Oh & how can anyone argue with the Norris picture, a 6'0 guy would never appear eye level with a 5'8 guy, so even if it is only one pic, it's one revealing pic. What's wierd is there's alot of talk that chuck may be in the 5'7 range, either way where would that put vin!! so 5'10 is not out of the question!

Clay says on 2/Dec/08
Liotta must be 5'8.6 Viper.

Clay says on 2/Dec/08
Bahaha who considers you as accurate as they come viper? You and your mother? According to you:

Diesel - 5'10
Smith - 6'0
Damon - 5'8
Timberlake - 5'10.5???

Smarten up. And Rob, why do you let Viper take cheap shots at you all the time? Saying things like ''Rob has half a brain'' and ''Even Rob wouldn't add an inch for him!''.

James says on 2/Dec/08
In Saving Private Ryan big Vin looked 6ft1.

RisingForce says on 1/Dec/08
The only thing that points to Vin being around 5-10 is the Chuck Norris picture, I can't think of anything else.

Viper says on 1/Dec/08
Swayze could be as low as 5-9. 6-0 barefoot for Vin is ridiculous. The highest you could go for him is 5-11, and hes probably not even that. Take away his big shoes or boots and he shrinks big time to 5-10.

James says on 1/Dec/08
I can't imagine him being 5ft10 since i used to think this guy was 6ft2.

RisingForce says on 1/Dec/08
Viper, the fact that you think Vin Diesel and Patrick Swayze are the same height shows you have no concept of height. How you can estimate both at 5'10" is beyond me especially since Swayze is 5-9ish and Vin is around 6 feet.

Patrick Swayze always looks average at best/kind of short. Vin Diesel looks tall.

Vin at 5'10" is insane.

glenn says on 30/Nov/08
viper is horrendous.i usually keep quite about him.but he mentioned i could be 5-7 last week.so im gonna open my mouth.

Viper says on 30/Nov/08
There is a better chance Will is 6-1 than Vin at 6-0. Vin at 6-0 is the ultimate pipe dream.

RisingForce says on 30/Nov/08
Yeah Leonari. Vin is about 6 feet and at worst Will Smith is 6'1" but he's probably taller.

Here's a good shot of his boots
Click Here

Probably give close to 3 inches but he looks really tall in them.

Viper says on 30/Nov/08
Actually most consider me as accurate as they come. Vin isnt over 5-10 1/2 barefoot. 6-0 is insane for him. Hes been needing a downgrade on here more than anyone on this site. And Ive supplied about 1,000,000 pictures that show Will could be 5-11. Doesnt mean he is but he certaintly looks that a lot of the time.

Leonari says on 30/Nov/08
viper: stop it. Your estimates are soo off it hurts. 5'10 Vin Diesel, 5'11-6'0 Will smith. Dear god you are bad at judging heights. Man...incredible.

RisingForce says on 29/Nov/08
Where does this 5-10 stuff come from anyway. 5-11 is the lowest I've heard for Vin outside of this site. a 5-10 guy wouldn't claim 6-1 or get called 6-3 and 6-4.

RisingForce says on 29/Nov/08
5-10 barefoot is crazy, he'd be by far the tallest looking 5-10 guy ever. let me get this straight Viper, you think 5-9 Patrick Swayze is 5-10 but you think 6-0 Vin Diesel is 5-10 too?

James says on 29/Nov/08
In his boots he can look 6ft1.5-6ft2.

Viper says on 29/Nov/08
5-10 barefoot seems right for Vin. Maybe 6-0 or a little over in his huge boots.

RisingForce says on 29/Nov/08
Here is the picture with Chuck Norris
Click Here

Vin looks maybe a half inch taller although 1 picture is not enough to suggest Vin is around 5'10". We don't know their footwear but the picture is surprising.

I really don't know where the 5'10" stuff comes from for Vin, is it that one picture? 5'10" seems absurd, even 5'11" is too low. Vin seems to be 6 feet, even considering his boots.

RisingForce says on 28/Nov/08
I thought Chuck had 2" on Bruce. Chuck is probably 5'9.5" and in his biggest cowboy boots with lifts. Vin could be 6'0" and could have been in normal shoes.

James says on 26/Nov/08
That pic of him next to Chuck Norris is seriously weird though. Norris also looked barely taller than Bruce Lee.

anonymous says on 26/Nov/08
I'll stay with 6 foot.

Viper says on 25/Nov/08
The most I could buy him at is 5-11. But 5-10 is probably closer to the truth. Poissibly over 6-0 in his huge boots.

RisingForce says on 25/Nov/08
glenn says on 20/Nov/08
6-2 when i saw him recently.in big boots.6ft min barefoot.

I believe it, he looks like a 6'0" guy but that must mean Chuck Norris is still around 5'9"-5'10" and has 3" boots. Vin must have been in normal shoes that day.

James says on 22/Nov/08
You have kind of got a point viper

Alex says on 22/Nov/08
I wouldn't say he has arms like a 250lber. But if he had big legs and a bigger chest and shoulders I could def see him weighing around 230lbs.

Viper says on 21/Nov/08
Nah, hes not that big at all If you take away his massive arms. And they are massive. He should be 250 pounds plus with his arms.

James says on 21/Nov/08
Alex I don't know he does look an all round big guy.

Alex says on 20/Nov/08
Vin's chest isn't very big either. His shoulders aren't broad either, nor is his neck big. His legs also look leanish, but his arms are big.

James says on 20/Nov/08
Yeah glenn in Saving Private Ryan he did kinda look a weak 6ft2 maybe! He's built like an over average height guy for sure

glenn says on 20/Nov/08
6-2 when i saw him recently.in big boots.6ft min barefoot.

James says on 19/Nov/08
I thought Vin could look 6ft2 in pics from the pacifier next to Brad Garrett.

Clay but you can't see his feet in the photo, so how would you know for surehe wasn't standing on a step?

anonymous says on 18/Nov/08
In the pacifier he looks 6 foot next to 6 foot 8 brad garrett. In fast and furious he was shorter than 6 foot 2 paul walker. I would say between 6 foot to 6 foot 1. He looks like a tall built man.

Brad says on 17/Nov/08
He wears custom boots Frankenstein would wear jogging at Universal City.

Clay says on 17/Nov/08
Get real...he wasn't standing on a step.

James says on 14/Nov/08
Maybe Vin was standing on a step. Funny bizzarely there was one episode everybody loves Rayomond where Ramno was measured at 5ft11 3/4 barefoot.

Midget says on 14/Nov/08
180cm-181cm at best barefoot. His boots he wears are the size of phone books!! Who needs a box to stand on when you're wearing those bad boys! In most films he looks near 187cm-189cm in boots and he is as tall, if not taller than most known "tall" actors that he works with.ie- Col Hauser, 6'1" or 185cm from Pitch Black.

Clay says on 13/Nov/08
Scroll down near the bottom theres a picture of Diesel, Ray, and Brad Garret Vin is looking taller than Romano there.

James says on 12/Nov/08
Does he look taller than Romano?

Clay says on 11/Nov/08
5'10? Explain how a 5'10 Vin Diesel looks 2 inches taller than Ray Romano - was he standing on 6 inches worth of boot?

Brad says on 11/Nov/08
He's 5' 10". He lives in big tread boots. He'll be in his coffin wearing those things.

James says on 5/Nov/08
Rob if you think there is a hight probability he is between 5ft11-6ft why not give Vin 182cm?

RisingForce says on 4/Nov/08
I can't find the Chuck Norris/Vin Diesel picture. If someone can find it, that'd be great.

RisingForce says on 4/Nov/08
James says on 25/Oct/08
Well Chuck is listed at under 5ft9 on this site

Yeah but I don't see why. I've never seen a picture where he looks under 5'9".

Alexander2401 says on 2/Nov/08
He is 179cm max,my sister saw him summer '08 in NY,strong 5'10
i am suprised that many of you think he look tall,to me he doesn't,he is big but
not tall,two different things

Clay says on 27/Oct/08
Vin was 220, at least, in Knockaround guys.

James says on 25/Oct/08
Well Chuck is listed at under 5ft9 on this site

glenn says on 25/Oct/08
thats true risingforce.

RisingForce says on 24/Oct/08
I suspect Chuck could really be 5'10" or close to it. I've never seen him look under 5'9" in one picture and he often looks 5'11ish, he was over 6 foot in boots next to Gary Busey. Of course he's never seen out of his boots but it's still possible that he's 5'10". I highly doubt he's under 5'9".

glenn says on 24/Oct/08
that norris pic doesnt add up at all.unless norris really is the 5-10 he claims.which is not impossible.

Viper says on 23/Oct/08
Vin has small shoulders for his build. Hes just large arms. Thats why he only weighs 190-200 pounds.

James says on 23/Oct/08
Hughs right his shoulers are big, Rising Force some pics can be deceiving, who knows Chuck could have been standing on a stop or wearing some big lifts?

Hugh says on 23/Oct/08
Viper, Vin has huge shoulders.

RisingForce says on 23/Oct/08
glenn says on 22/Oct/08
i forgot about that norris pic.norris mustve been in serious lifts.

Maybe Chuck is a bit more than 5'9" flat? Either way it seems doubtful that Chuck had 4 inch lifts. For Vin to be 6'0" and Chuck to be 5'9", Chuck would have to be in 4 inch shoes and Vin would have to be in just 1 inch.

Honestly that doesn't add up to me.

James says on 23/Oct/08
Rising Force sorry I thought 5ft10ish meant over 5ft10 my mistake, Viper does this 5ft11 guy wear lifts? You know Jude Law is one 5ft11 guy who can actually look taller because he is slim.

Viper says on 23/Oct/08
Vin actually has small shoulders for how hes built. Hes just large arms. He should weigh well over 220 If he didnt have stick legs.

Viper says on 23/Oct/08
I know a 5-11 guy that can look well over 6-0.

RisingForce says on 22/Oct/08
I never said near 5'11". In certain shoes I come in just under 5'10" such as in work boots. I also have a rail thin frame(I'm a 28 waist at a 30 length in jean sizes) so that helps add to the illusion. I've been guessed at anywhere from 5'6" to 5'10".

My shoes are work boots that add 1.75" or 2", thick Nike sneakers that add about 1.25' or 1.5" but I've been wearing Converse shoes lately so I don't always wear thick footwear.

In conclusion 5'7 3/4" plus about 1.75 or 2 inch work boots equals 5'9 1/2" or 5'9 3/4" plus my thin frame can easily give the illusion of 5'10".

Dan J says on 22/Oct/08
Of all places, met Vin Diesel in the grocery line. I'm 6', he was within an inch of me, give-or-take.

glenn says on 22/Oct/08
i forgot about that norris pic.norris mustve been in serious lifts.

James says on 22/Oct/08
No offense Rising Force but you must sometimes wear quite big footware if you can pull of looking near 5ft11!

RisingForce says on 22/Oct/08
James, I am somewhat short and certainly nothing above average in height but if I really feel the need, I can look 5'10ish with certain footwear. I wouldn't want to be above 5'10" because it's tall enough but still short even to not stick out or ever look aqward.

So you say Vin is a minimum 6 foot now Glenn? Wasn't there a picture where he was the same height as Chuck Norris.

mm says on 22/Oct/08
he has huge shoulders, small head, thin legs and good posture.. type of guy who looks taller than he actually is. I'd say he might be even bit smaller than 183 cm.

Clay says on 21/Oct/08
5'7-5'9 isnt average, lol.

James says on 21/Oct/08
6ft1 in England is 4 inches over average.

Vin Disel did look a 6footer in The Chronicles of Ridick like 184cm.

Anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
Ok I just wanted to point out sometime I have seen the comments that people are giving and one just grave my attention.

this guy is 5'10. he isnt tall, just average.
this is how alot of people state heights for men:
5'6-shorter is considered short
5'7-6'1 is average
6'2-6'10 is giant
6'11-Tall inhuman.

What 6'1" around average? are you kidding me. In my understanding I think below 5'5" is short, 5'7"-5'9" average, 5'11"-6'1" tall, 6'2"-6'4 very tall, and passing 6'7" is very very tall. but 6'0" average cmon since when did 6'0" become average?. I am 6'3"(190cm) and I consider myself tall, but I also think that around 6'0" is tall.

glenn says on 21/Oct/08
i was trying to tell my friend that vin was at least 5-11 one night via text when he asked me.days later(last week)i bumped into vin again and he was a shocking 6-2.in boots with big heels.he is nothing less than 6ft.i change my mind on my original 5-11.5

Clay says on 21/Oct/08
First of all Vin claims no more than 6'1 (185 CM) so he's no more than that. He is probably 180-182 CM in there somewhere. Cant be as low as 178-179 CM.

Viper says on 20/Oct/08
Hes 178-179

Hugh says on 20/Oct/08
I think he might be 183-184cm.

James says on 20/Oct/08
179cm is too low he's probably 182cm or maybe 181cm at his lowest.

James says on 19/Oct/08
187cm is too tall for Vin he is 183cm at best reality

MIKE says on 18/Oct/08
Probably around 5'10" 1/2 or 5'11" Thats what i'd give Vin....he's taller then some in movies, and some are taller then him, obviously he's not a giant.

Clay says on 17/Oct/08
Under 5'11 for Vin is looking impossible.

James says on 17/Oct/08
I very much doubt Hugh that Vin is as tall as 187cm, I'd say the most he could be is 183cm.

Hugh well one of my friends told me that the taller you are the shorter the life but my ex friend did tend to lie about a lot things plus I think he meant if you are mega tall like 7ft+ is when it might start to have an effect on how long u live for?

Rising Force do u feel average or short most of the time?

RisingForce says on 17/Oct/08
I'm just under 5'8"(5'7 3/4" or 172 cm) and I don't mind my height. I wouldn't want to be over 5'10" either.

Hugh says on 17/Oct/08
It's not true. It all depends on how healthy you are.

Vin looked 187cm in the Pacifier.

James says on 16/Oct/08
Yeah I heard that Hugh here and there unfourtanatly there have been claims that people over 6ft and taller in general do live shorter lives, but i don't know if its true?

Saw a Chronicles of Riddick last night where Vin looked 184cm.

Hugh says on 16/Oct/08
They're just joking. They know I'm tall. Being tall has advantages you know. That legacy that being over 6ft is bad for your blood circulation is rubbish.

True Height Explorer says on 16/Oct/08
he looks so tall in Babylon AD

James says on 15/Oct/08
Thats sounds funny Hugh, your dad and your brother have got some nerve calling you shorty since you are well over 6ft, I'd suspect they would probably call u worse thing if you were 4 inches shorter?

Hugh says on 15/Oct/08
It can be annoying at times. They call me 'shorty' a lot. I wear dress shoes quite a lot to appear close to them in height. Now I'm not being arrogant but a lot of people have complimented me for being the 'better looking' guy. One girl once described me as having 'Pierce Brosnan's face on Hugh Jackman's body'. Really Weird.

James says on 14/Oct/08
Hugh yeah I can understand you feeling slightly short around your dads side in particular. Does it bother u that ur dad and your brotherr are taller than you? I mean its not like ur that much shorter than your dad and ur bro, since were only talking an inch here.

Clay says on 14/Oct/08
Exactly Alex. Hell at a bus stop one time I was like the tallest guy there but at other events im short. You cant just take one situation and make judgements off of that.

Hugh says on 13/Oct/08
I'm somewhere in between James. Most of the people on my Dad's side of the family are taller than me. They range from 6ft2-6ft6. On my Mum's side I'd probably be one of the tallest. They range from 5ft11-6ft4. Well, My brother is 6ft3.5, my father was 6ft4 at his peak and his now a shade over 6ft3. My sister is 5ft10.5, my mum is 5ft10. The three uncles on my dad's side are 6ft4.5, 6ft4 and 6ft6 respectively. A lot of my cousins are over 6ft aswell. The four uncles on my mother's side are 5ft11.75, (6ft0.5 peak), 6ft4 and 6ft2.25. The list goes on. We had a huge reunion about two years ago with all the uncles and aunts and cousins on my father's side. I can just remember walking into the restaurant and everybody just staring at us. We towered over everyone.
