This guy is taller than listed here. I am 5-10 and he seems to be taller than I am.

Ziggy looks a lot shorter than 5'9" in his videos. I'd never guess he was even 5'6". guyfrommars says on 8/Mar/09
Bob Marley was 5ft4? I've thought he was 5ft7, but of course that could be an exaggeration, like when Paul and George from The Beatles were descired 6ft tall in the '60s. Anon2008 says on 9/May/08
Where the **** is Bob Marley's entry? No entry no cry. Rasta says on 16/Mar/08
Corrected version:
Ziggy Marley: 5'9"
Damien Marley: 5'9"
Bob Marley: 5'4"
Jimmy Cliff: 5'5"
Peter Tosh: 6'5" glenn says on 22/Aug/07
thats pretty accurate jon. Joe T. says on 21/Aug/07
It's funny, I always thought of Bob Marley as being tall. On the cover pic for "Legend", his hand -- which he's holding up to his face -- looks so big. jon says on 17/Mar/07
add the other ones too
ziggy - 5'10
damien - 5'9.5
ky-mani - 5'9.5
stephen - 5'8.5
julian - 6'1 (at least)
bob - 5'4 joe says on 16/Mar/07
julian is WAY over 5'11 maybe 6'1 joe says on 16/Mar/07
whoa this can't be right.... I just watched some youtube and clearly ziggy is about 5'10 and stephen is 5'8 or something... (if I have not mixed the brothers up) and damien is too 5'10 and ,well, ky-mani looks 5'10 too and Julian is over 5'11... Anthony says on 20/Jan/07
As for Bob's height, here's an interesting tidbit from the book "Spirit Dancer" photo book (great book):
"Marley's personal magnetism fairly pulsates within the frames of Talamon's shots, disclosing Bob's deep curiosity for the fans he met on his travels, as well as as the radiant charisma that often left journalists and acquaintances mistakenly recalling him as a tall man (in reality Marley stood several inches shy of six feet).
I'd say give Bob 5'5.5-5'6. Anthony says on 14/Dec/06
Ziggy and Damien both look 5'9 or 5'10. I read there brother Stephen is over 6'.
5'6 max for Bob IMO. I love Bob, he should be listed. I'm listening to "Get Up, Stand Up" right now. Brad says on 5/Nov/06
Saw Bob up close in '78 & '80 in concert. 5' 6" is about it. Small mon. I still have the LP our Jamaican nanny left in '67, a various artists album with The Wailers on it. Bob looks soooo young. Wish I could find their local Jamaican 45's from the mid sixties. J. says on 7/Sep/06
A 1994 Sporting News story on son Rohan Marley's tenture as a linebacker for the University of Miami, described him as (then) 5'8" and 205 lbs. So it seems he's in the same height range as bros Ziggy and Damien? Glenn says on 5/Sep/06
One of the biggest shocks for me at how small he was. leonari says on 3/Jul/06
ROB: what is your guess on BOB Marley??? 5'5" ??? Anonymous says on 29/Jun/06
I have read that he was 5'4 in a book ("Catch A Fire" by Timothy White) and in a couple of articles. Looking at his pictures I can believe it. Almost all his women, except his wife Rita, were taller than him. Glenn says on 19/Jun/06
I have the photo with Ziggy.Ziggy and Daminen are both 5-9.maybe 5-9.5.my guess was Marley was 5-8.5-5 makes sense.I saw a photo of him signing for fans where he looked short.Jimmy Cliff is 5-5 too. J. says on 16/Jun/05
I saw Ziggy in concert back in the early 1990s. Hmm ... thinking back, yeah, I guess he was average height. The dreads and the thick shoes make him look bigger. As far as his old man's height, it's tricky. There was one fansite that listed him as 6'3" (an example of unrealistic celebrity worship) but there's this intresting comment concerning his height:
http://www.bobmarleymagazine.com/interviews/cumbo.htm
Actually Bob was "fine" but I was more attracted to Peter. When I went to Bob's house for the first time in august of 1975 with my friend Herbie Miller (who was a friend of Bob's and later Tosh's manager), he (Herbie) told me that either he or someone in the house asked Bob why he did not "hit" on me (make a pass for me). Bob told him that I was too tall!! Ha ha ha. That is true because I am 5 ft 10 inches tall!
The comment is vague concering Bob's height yet it pretty much confirms that he is under the 5'10" mark ... |
