He's a bit nearer the camera than the Pope, so might be 2-2.5 inches taller.

Yeah more like 5'7.5 or even 5'7.25 these days,he looked slightly shorter than Macron.At almost 85 he did quite well in terms of height loss,and although you can definitely see him struggle at sometimes to stand tall,he still seems rather fit

I think Pope Francis needs a downgrade and Putin needs peak height and current height. Here are even more of their photos together from 2019: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In my opinion Francis can be 5ft 7.75 or 7.5 today and Putin was 5ft 6.75 and today is 5ft 6.25. Rob, maybe it's time for an update?
Editor Rob
considering his age, under 5ft 8 today is looking more likely.

Hi Rob! Are you considering adding Alexander Lukashenko to your website? Here are some of his photos alongside Pope Francis from 2016: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Of course, today Lukashenko is already 66 years old, and he may be somewhere around 181 cm. But its peak height I would have guessed from 5ft 11.75 to 6ft 0.25. Rob, is there a chance you could give him the site?
Editor Rob
I have only seen a little of him

I don't know what his peak height was, it's a mystery to me but my guess is 5ft 9.25 (176 cm). However, I wonder if he is already below 5ft 8. In many photos of 2019 Francis looked similar to Putin's height but I found some photos where Francis still looks a bit taller than Putin: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Putin today may only be flat 5ft 6 and Francis looks only 1 to 1.5 inches taller from him. Rob, can Francis have 5ft 7.75 or even 5ft 7.5 today?

Rob,any guess for King Mohamed VI height?I would have thought he had 2.5"on the pope.Maybe 5'10.25-10.5"?He also looked a solid 5'10 with Putin.I feel 179 could be bang on.Your opinion?
Editor Rob
I can see near 179cm as possible for him.

He's 81. The average male adult will have lost 2" by 80.
The Shredder said on 5/Jan/18
He still looks 5'7 next to Trump with age and godawful posture. He still could be close to 5'8 now. 5'9 or around it is his peak.
The Shredder said on 4/Jan/18
LOL people ( mostly MD , the narcissist ) wouldn't even think that the 5'9 listing is peak.
Stiffelio said on 4/Jan/18
Maybe the peak height with shoes is right but he's shrunk considerably over the decades. I don't think he's taller than 5ft 7in these days.
MD said on 4/Jan/18
Yeah, he's shorter than this.
NiBBBBa said on 3/Jan/18
Click Here Next to strong 6' Trump.
I guess he's around 5'7"

In the church me and my family go every sunday there were pictures of Papa Francisco and our former parish priest. The pictures were taken two or three years ago. El Papa Francisco than taller our priest who was around 1´71-72. However in this pic they look the same height. Scroll down the page

Is fine this listed

But in another hand he never looked very short. But next to Raimonds Vejonis (about 6-2), or other people he never looked more than 5-8. And still, I think that it still could be too much.

5'9 was a joke
even the pope is insecure haha

That bling on him looks like an Ice-T piece from '88.

Hats off to the Pope, everyone!

I hope he has a good year!

He gets 5ft9 for his all time peak, and 5ft8 for his today's height. ⛪
grizz said on 1/Jan/18
It would've been hilarious if Pope lied and inflated his height XD But honestly, I think 5'9 was his peak height and he isn't familiar with height loss.

I really don’t like this pope but I was hoping he would eventually get his page.

168 cm barefoot at night

5'9? Surely a peak height, Rob? The most I would have guessed him at today is 5'8 and in fact I would say he's probably somewhere between 5'7 and 5'8. That being said, considering he's just over 80, 5'9 at his peak does seem quite possible...
Editor Rob
I don't know how those NY Id's work, if they ask a height or not? But if he said 5ft 9, it probably would be giving a peak height like many older men do.
