Wayne Newton's Height
6ft ½ in (184.2 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 1 ½ (186.7 cm)
American Singer. In the Daytona Beach Morning Journal (Nov 12 1965) he said, " 'm down to 170 and I may take off 5 or 6 more pounds. I'm 6 feet 2 inches, so the weight wasn't unusual for my height, except it was all in my legs and hips", although in a 1969 San Francisco Examiner said "I'm constantly on a diet. I'm 6 foot 1 and down to 175 pounds. But if you look at the 'Red Roses' album cover, you'll see me at 260. And I photograph heavier than I am. I'm all legs and very short waisted, which gives ma a hippy look unless I'm thin."

Rob, is 6ft1¾ peak a possibility?
That way you've got four guys in License to Kill at that mark!

Editor RobWell the fact he has said both 6ft 1 and 2 suggests either he is somewhere amongst that range or is more 6ft 1 and has inflated it at times, but I need to look again at him when young.

Didn't realize this guy had been downgraded. Today he is looking under 6ft1 but peak I'd still said near 6ft2. 6ft1½ is the lowest I'd argue....interesting how he's claimed both 6ft1 and 6ft2

I met Wayne back in 1996. I was working line crew at a private airport in Kansas City when he stopped in for refueling his Gulfstream 1. He was very friendly and definitely looked over 6'1". Not sure about 6'2". I am 6'0" even and he was taller with good posture then.

Watching Full House episode, 1990...he looks very tall...6'3, so claiming to be 6'2 doesn't surprise at all.

A very good friend of mine has become good friends with Wayne. I have seen numerous pics of them standing side by side. My friend is 5'10.5" and Wayne has only 1-1.5" on him. Of course he is now 73 yrs. old, so he must have lost some. I'd give him 6'0" now at best. As a younger man, probably 6'1". The other point is that Wayne has worn heels that were a little more than standard ... at least while on stage.

Editor Rob Rampage, Wayne is a guy who could at times look a bit shy of 6ft 2

Yeah if anybody looks the type to wear lifts it would be this guy. Looks very vain doesn't he. He does look genuinely tall though.

On an episode of The Lucy Show from the late 60's he tells Lucy that he's 6 foot 2.
