Very interesting brotha. I thought Sven was at least 6'4". Perhaps somebody could find that image.

Hey your 5-8, 200 lber guy sounds rather like Oddjob from Goldfinger. He was supposed to weigh 260 in his prime though at 5'8"ish but he was a professional sports wrestler I think. He was solid.

Thats great Metric, I was expecting you to come up with a bunch of 6'5" dudes! Judging by that I'd say I'd still be above average in Denmark but not by much. 5'11" and 210 is pretty bulky, good size.

I'd say 5'11.5" for Arnie now too. So it seems most agree.

Excuse me, my university class. I always get the two mixed up. College is what you attend right after public school, right?? I didn't mean that one.

Yes, 182 cm is common sense by now. He might drop as low as 181 cm.

Thanks Roger, but what is strange in your opinion?
The only thing I can detect is the skin tone a little 'relaxed, but after all we are talking about a person of almost 62 years.

Doug it's funny you mention Sven as a man mountain. Ironically someone posted a pic of him and Arnold together in the late 60's posing together. They looked almost the same height and they are both barefoot and appear to be on level grounnd. Sven was at least 6'3" and looks it in most movies, which is more proof the Arnold was almost 6'2" peak. Can anybody find this pic online?

Yeah, Hogans biceps are awesome! Despite his age he looks like the meanest mother beep beep in earth! I think he could have been a champion bodybuilder easily had he pursued that path. But why would he? Made much more smackaroos and fame in wrestling. Smart man.

Metric what would you say average height is then amongst college students in Denmark? I'm a weak 6'2", 6'1.5" by evening and weigh 213lbs, would I be considered barely average in Denmark?

OK he wouldn't be seen as "really big" in Denmark, hell the land of man mountains like Sven Ole Thornssen and Peter Schmeicel of course he isn't. But not "short" or "little" either as such, anywhere unless you compare him to guys like Ralph Moeller. At his peak Arnie was one of the world icons for a "huge physique" you can't deny that, most guys in the 70, 80s and 90s would have referred to Arnie as a huge guy even if he wasn't that tall. When I was younger my dad always used to say things like "hey you'll be looking like Arnie before long" when I was doing press ups at aged 12. "Looking like Arnie" was common language for developing a very muscular physique. He has shrunk today and is betwene 5'11 and 6'0" likely, but hardly "short". We do share one thing in common though Metric, 16" arms. I wasn't vain enough to ever measure to be honest until a week or two ago when Hugh claimed to have 18" arms at peak and I didn't believe him at first as that is world class body builder level. Arnie was said to have had 19" biceps at peak, Hogan was recently measured as still having 20" biceps at aged 55 although at peak he was 21-22" (not 24" pythons).
I agree though Metric that most body builders these days are shorter squat guys. Most of the guys who compete in world weightlifting alot of them in the smaller weight divisions are barely 5'3" I noticed when watching the olympics this year. Few of them except in the 105+ division were over 6 ft as a low center of gravity is considered better for international weightlifting anyway even if not so important in bodybuilding. Bring back the 6'5"-6'7" body builder you think like David Prowse, Ralph Moeller and Dolph Lundgren Metric?

Good post metric. Also the reason Arnold's legs looked skinny was because of the detriment of his height. He was leggy which meant much more effort was needed to make them look thick. A bodybuilder who's 5'8" can more easily create a thickness than a guy near 6'2". I don't think Arnold would make it today in pro bodybuilding because of this even though I would much rather have his body to a modern freak you see today. Even more is to see a near 6'5" guy compete today like you saw with Ferrigno.

A photo from Arnolds skiing accident: Click Here His biceps and forearms look massive. I have 16 inch guns myself and they don't look like Arnolds sweet babies in this pic. I would say he looks to have at least 18 inch guns in that pic? Probably 19 when flexed? Also the size of his chest and overall broad frame is clearly evident in this pic. As for the "skinny" pic, Roger, I disagree. It clearly shows a man who works out. Look at his muscle tone and definition (forearms, neck): Excellent! Impossible to look like that if you don't do weights (and massive cardio)! He may not be as massive as he used to but remember he can't use heavy weights anymore because of his heart. Also when you reach your 50s and 60s the muscles tend to take on a different shape: They naturally get saggier and not as full and buff looking as they used to. That's just age. I think many people (including Danimal) make the mistake of thinking Arnold doesn't touch weights anymore just because he has gotten that old man saggy look. Gonna happen to all of us! I would be happy to look like Arn in your "skinny pic", Roger, when I reach 60 yrs age! He still looks better than 80% of the general population.

I do remember, and this photo Click Here confirms it, that Arnold legs tended to look surprisingly skinny when he was not in preparation for a contest (this photo was prolly shot in the early 80s).
His arms are timeless, I believe, those full and big biceps simply enviable.
I do acknowledge that Joe Weider showed good instincts when deciding to push Arnold as his posterboy, although handing him the 1980 Mr O. was a bit too much.
It was basically a clear message "He who wins the Mr Olympia does not have to be the best built on stage, but the one most useful to the Weider business".
In a field like today's, Arnold would not have a chance as you simply have to be a 100% genetic freak - there are no shortcomings allowed.

Schwarzenegger is 5' 10" to 5' 11" when not wearing lifts. Not sure where all the claims of 6'+ come from, but compare his height on the Leno show (= to Leno, who is about 5' 10").

Roger: Good post. I agree that from a genetic view point Arnold was never the best bodybuilder. He didn't have the best shape or symmetry (Boyer Coe, Frank Zane, Danny Padilla), he didn't have the most mass (Roy Callendar, Casey Viator, Sergio Oliva) and certainly NOT the best legs in the business (Tom Platz)! Sometimes I wonder how on earth he got his reputation as "king of the bodybuilders"!!?? He had strong arms and chest, yes, but that was about it. Olivas arms were at least equal. The one area where Arnold had everyone beat was his charisma and personality. This was - of course - cleverly spotted by Joe Weider who ruthlessly promoted Arnold with the sole purpose of turning him into a money making cash cow for the Weider fitness empire. Maybe that's where he got his reputation from?? I'm not saying that Arnold wasn't an awesome bodybuilder back in the day because he certainly was! I'm just saying that he wasn't at all in a league of his own compared to the other greats of yesteryear. They were all pretty f*ck*ng great if you ask me!!? Anyway, Roger, try checking out Arnolds legs in the pic I posted (the one with the HUGE soles). The size and width of his thighs is clearly visible through the fabric of his trousers. To say he has legs as toothpicks (Danimal) simply is NOT in line with reality!

Doug: Yes, the key word being AVERAGE! Arnold will never look like a big guy around here (Denmark). Put him in a random group of young male college students and he will most likely be dwarfed by the better part of them! Average height in Denmark is 5-11 to 5-11.5 - true - but ALOT of these young males are taller. I don't think you are considered really big in Denmark unless you are 6-3+. BTW excellent post of yours.

In Denmark he would be roughly average height. However much it may seem all Danes, Norwegian, Swedes and Dutch are 6 ft 4 the average is actually around 5'11". He would still not be considered short unless it was in comparison with tall Scandinavians like 6'3" plus of which there are of lot of in these countries in particular but this is NOT the average. Nobody above 5'11" will ever look "short" on average anywhere in the world. 5'11" or 6' may look short compared to many very tall people but certainly not compared to most.

Red Sonya wasn't actually a part of the Conan series. Arnold's role in the film was similar to Conan but had a different name and story. I guess you could say it was a general sword and sorcery trilogy. Arnold was angry because he only came on as supporting role and ended up getting top billing which he thought was unfair to Bridgette Nielsen. On top of that the film was atrocious in most every way and was universally panned by the critics.

Danimal: You are so wrong! It's so obvious that Arnold still trains from time to time. You can see his chest, arm and shoulder size changing in pics all the time. Bigger - smaller - bigger - smaller etc. Indicative of a person who does weights albeit in an unconsistantly manner. For most of the time he still looks quite massive. NO ONE can look like that without using weights! NO ONE! If Arn had the time and started lifting with determination he could get real massive in probably 3-6 months. Remember his body is not like that of the average person. His muscle memory is second to none and he just needs to touch a weight before he will balloon all up. Calling his legs sticks is just plain ignorant! They still look pretty huge to me. I train with heavy weights but I would think twice before challenging him to a "face off" using the measuring tape! I'm willing to bet he has you beat on most - if not all - measurements as well!?

Glenn,
I've never seen Conan The Barbarian, The Destoyer, Red Sonya or Predator.. I KNOW, it's CRAZY!
Alex2, yes, Arnold has no muscle left to speak of. Even his limbs have changed size. his upper torso has compressed. He virtually has a much shorter neck/back. His arms look to be maybe 15-16" today. His chest is saggy and his waist is large. His legs are sticks... If he started lifting weights today the only thing imo that would improve would be his arms. MAYBE his chest as well.

What I notice here is a lot of opinion. Arnold's present height is estimated above and has not changed for some time, but many come here estimating Arnold at even a little under 5'11". This is all opinion. Anyone can have an opinion but it can't be taken seriously without evidence. It's easy to just provide your personal opinion because of what you think, but to just leave it at that is not very convincing. I notice a lot of people providing their estimates that Arnold is 5'11" or even less and not providing good reason. This is in light of Arnold's height compared to Blair, Bush Jr, and even the most recent video of Tiger Woods. If you think Arnold is 5'10 3/4", than back it up. Otherwise, we can assume it is just your opinion.

BTW Arnie was noticeably taller than George W. Bush. Bush is 5'11" and in comparison to Tony Blair ,Arnie also looked 6'-6'1" in shoes anyway. I still think he is around 6', 5'11.5" at lowest I'd say.

The funny thing is lots of people now call Arnie "short". Don't know what world they are living in but even if he is only 5'11" barefoot today he will still be at the start of tall for a guy. His huge torso and physique and relatively short legs have always made him look shorter than he really is. He was pushing 6'2" in the 70s, 80s and most of the 90s. Today seems to have lost two inches from all the years of bodybuilding compressing the spine. Still a big man overall even if he has shrunk considerably since his prime. In most countries Arnie would be regarded as a big guy, still.
The funny thing is lots of people now call Arnie "short". Don't know what world they are living in but even if he is only 5'11" barefoot today he will still be at the start of tall for a guy. His huge torso and physique and relatively short legs have always made him look shorter than he really is. He was pushing 6'2" in the 70s, 80s and most of the 90s.

"Fact is he is shrinking faster than the box office receipts for his final "blockbuster" movies"
-Metric
Skip the analogies next time metric. Anyway, i highly doubt he is 5`11. Fact is, next to a legit 6`0er (Tony Blair), he looks the same height, if not slightly taller. Both of their shoes were similar, and I think that is better evidence then a (lousy) film without any real reference points in which to properly determine his height.

He seems to have lost the majority of his height in his UPPER torso. His neck and back are significantly shorter than they used to be.

Metric: watch the photos with 6 footer Tony Blair and 6'3" "The Rock" Click Here
Click Here
and you might notice that he isn't "short" as you say, and that 6'1" is quite plausible for him.
Then if the theory of height fluctuation is right, here explained the reason.
Anyway, in my opinion, he can not be under 6 feet.

All I know is he looked very "shortish" in "Around the world in 80 days". Barely taller than the woman. Check out bath tub scene. NEVER a 6-2, 6-1 or even 6-0 man!! He looked 5-11 tops. Could be as low as 5-10.75 today. Fact is he is shrinking faster than the box office receipts for his final "blockbuster" movies! The man is obviously in denial and desperate to keep alive his public image of being a huge guy. Worship is everything to him.

due to weight lifting i believe Arnie has drop 2.75inch in height. now 5ft10.75(180cm) ,before 187cm(6ft1.5). he don't look as tall as strong 6ft guy like Val Kilmer.

I'll just summarize it all:
Peak morning height: 6'2"
Peak afternoon height: 6'1.5" - CONFIRMED
Current morning height: 6'0 1/2" (IMO)
Current afternoon height: 5'11" (IMO)
Again, I believe Arnold shrinks a lot during the day, partly because he still has a lot of muscle compressing his spine down, and it is not a young spine anymore. Add the fact that he's lost an inch or an inch and a half due to age, and it explains everything.

I hope Glenn will meet Arnold again, would love to see a new photo.

Kindgarten Cop was great. You're nuts
Arnie can do both action and comedy. I think people underrate him as an actor a lot. And hes probably the greatest action star of all time anyway.
But of all else, the guy is THE American dream. Coming from Austria to America and being the greatest bodybuilder of all time, to being a huge movie star, and then being Gov. of a state. Pretty unreal.

Someone mentions the T3 premiere.....he looked only 2 inches shorter than the 6'4" Vernon Kaye at the London premiere.....still near to 6'1 peak. I think he has the problem of height fluctuation. My dad is the same, some days he looks nearly 6'2", and then he can look 5'11", his actual height is 6.05", my dad has probably never even heard of lifts, it just goes to show that height fluctuations can't always be put down to lifts.

Austrian obviously meant 5'10''. While certainly too low, it is imaginable that a strong 6'3'', say 191 cm , maybe with shoes giving him another 3/4 of an inch really dwarfs Arnold that much that he thinks "Arnold is not even 5'11''".
I do believe though that if we see this trend continuing, 5'10.5'' after 12 hours of being awake is entirely possible for Arnold.
Don't forget that Ali claimed 5'10'' MAX for Arnold, while Austrian has him there now, so Austrian is not a troll like Ali.
Oh, Arnold, why have you shrunken so much???

These personal claims people make, especially if they are outrageous, are so simple to refute. This Austrian guy says he's himself 6'3" and Arnold was well under 6' and yet Arnold doesn't appear as such next to 6'3" the Rock. The Rock even claimed 6'5" during his wrestling years.

I tend to think that Arnold loses a lot of height throughout the day. When he gets out of bed he might be a little over 6', but he might lose even 1.5 inches by the end of the day. Some people's spines just compress more than others. It would explain why his height seems so variable. I don't think he wears lifts, I don't think he was ever one to wear lifts. He always seemed very comfortable barefoot.
I also don't think Arnold was lying about what his daughter measured him as (6'1") if you consider that it might have been in the morning, and that their home measuring scale might not have been put up at the exact correct height (you have to use a ruler to get it at the right height and there might be 1/2" of error there).
My theory: 6'0 1/2" out of bed, 5'11" at the end of the day.

Here's more proof that can't be trolled. You can compare both Steve Jobs and Tiger's height near the end of this video....

Guy, there's no way that Blair's posture is equal to Arnold's. They're about the same height in that series of pictures when you consider posture. Arnold's shoes did look atleast a little suspicious. Click Here They aren't huge, but he could be getting a slight boost from them. Arnold was wearing them the day he looked taller than 6-1 Clint Eastwood. Click Here So I'm suspicious of those shoes, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they had a lift inside.
These are suspicious shoes. Click Here Could you imagine if Pitt or Stallone wore those? They'd automatically be assumed to be 3" elevator shoes.
For a while Arnold was wearing cowboy boots a lot(probably around 2003 or 2004). I'm not saying that means he wears lifts, but the 2 inch heels on those make you look about an inch taller compared to someone in normal shoes.
I'm fine with 6-0 for Arnold, but over that? I don't buy it.

Roger - why if Arnold wears lifts doesn't he just wear them big enough to make himself 6-2? It makes no sense (to me) that you would wear lifts that still make you shorter than you claim?

Glenn, in a way most Arnold movies were "predictable garbage". Certainly no arthouse stuff. But True Lies was really good, not trashy like "End of days".
If you can, give it a try.
And Guy, you win a gold medal, for least useful post in a longtime. All those photos are known, and proof what does not need to be proofed. Arnold is - in suspicious shoes - equal in height to Blair. Not taller and not shorter, but equal in height. He cannot be 6'.5'' if you look at the Woods photos.
Let's forget here that Woods is a weak 6'.5''.
However, it is by now very likely that Arnold does wear lifts also as he has noticed people scratch their head at how short a man many believe to be still 6'2'' in reality is.
I have one idea - maybe utter garbage, I don't know as I'm no physician, but is it possible that muslces or heavy bodyweight in general put pressure on the spine, especially when one is small boned? Because Arnold is, as surprising as it may sound, rather small boned (and narrow shouldered!)

Arnold is very close in height to Tony Blair but I think he is just a slight bit taller. For one thing Blair never appears taller in any shot that is fair for comparison but Arnold does. Right away the odds favor Arnold being a little taller, and that he definitely isn't shorter. What we are arguing is probably just a mere half inch which is very difficult to tell in person let alone in photographs. It is also very difficult to be accurate with both hairstyles obscuring their true head heights so we have to make estimations. For all intents and purposes they are standing pretty much in identical fashion here.....
Click Here
Again pretty much identical posture and head tilt here....
Click Here
Plus we have this one. Bare in mind Blair never has this kind of advantage.
Click Here
Another good one where they are standing comparably.
Click Here
Basically Arnold looks around 1/2 inch taller on average. This photo he looks closer to one inch.
Click Here
And these Arnold is clearly a little taller
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here

So it's ridiculous to maintain that Arnold and Blair are exactly the same height when with too many examples we see otherwise. It's safe to say if Blair is 6 feet than Arnold comes in around 6' 1/2". As far as Arnold's shoes. They just look like regular dress shoes.
Click Here
Its easy to accuse anyone you want for wearing lifts. Lifts are secretive and elusive so even if the shoe looks normal you can feel justified with accusations because it "might" be in there. Even merely having a good sole or heel on a shoe or boot can therefore jump the barrier into lift accusation. Maybe it's just a shoe or boot with a good heel? Suddenly it's a crime. A good sized sole or heel does not automatically equal a lift. These.......
Click Here
just look like large dress shoes. I highly doubt Arnold would be wearing pants that rode up so high above his ankles wearing lifts. If they were lifts, his heel would be near the top of the back of the shoe. That's how a lift works.
Click Here
His shoes lack the overall characteristic height of a lift. Check out Stallone's lifts (even that's just suspicious and not a fact).
Click Here
You can see how far above the ground and tall Sly's shoes rise to which Arnold's shoes don't resemble.

For all intents and purposes they are standing pretty much in identical fashion here.....
Click Here
Again pretty much identical posture and head tilt here....
Click Here
Plus we have this one. Bare in mind Blair never has this kind of advantage.
Click Here
Another good one where they are standing comparably.

Basically Arnold looks around 1/2 inch taller on average. This photo he looks closer to one inch.

And these Arnold is clearly a little taller

So it's ridiculous to maintain that Arnold and Blair are exactly the same height when with too many examples we see otherwise. It's safe to say if Blair is 6 feet than Arnold comes in around 6' 1/2". As far as Arnold's shoes. They just look like regular dress shoes.

Its easy to accuse anyone you want for wearing lifts. Lifts are secretive and elusive so even if the shoe looks normal you can feel justified with accusations because it "might" be in there. Even merely having a good sole or heel on a shoe or boot can therefore jump the barrier into lift accusation. Maybe it's just a shoe or boot with a good heel? Suddenly it's a crime. A good sized sole or heel does not automatically equal a lift. These.......
Click Here
just look like large dress shoes. I highly doubt Arnold would be wearing pants that rode up so high above his ankles wearing lifts. If they were lifts, his heel would be near the top of the back of the shoe. That's how a lift works.
Click Here
His shoes lack the overall characteristic height of a lift. Check out Stallone's lifts (even that's just suspicious and not a fact).
Click Here
You can see how far above the ground and tall Sly's shoes rise to which Arnold's shoes don't resemble.

Roger I agree, Arnold isn't 6'1, not anymore anyway. He is fractionally taller than Blair but that can perhaps be accounted for by his footwear. They're certainly a unique design, but are they really elevators? If they are they dont appear to add too much.

Yes, Rob, that pretty much sums it up. It was a steady upward slope for Arnold from 1982 to 1991, with few bumps. Then the came setback in the form of "Last action hero", a big budget flop. True Lies was good and also a blockbuster. I did not watch most of what came afterwards, in fact only Eraser and T3 in the cinema. They were solid, but the old "Arnold Magic" was long gone by then, and I'm sure Arnold himself knew it.
And miko, Arnold did make horrible movies. "Red Sonja" and of course the unspeakably bad "Batman & Robin", for example. They were truly bad, without if and when. Arnold himself joked that to punish someone, he'd "make him watch Red Sonja a dozen times"!
Zach, Blair is no less than 6ft, you say adressed to me. Did I doubt it? I said he might a strong 6 footer, and that Arnold looks equal height max, with his suspicous shoes. Again, the photos with Blair are in the endless line of photos showing Arnold is not 6'1'', as he claims.

My favorite Arnold movie of all time is Total Recall, but I also really liked Commando, the first 2 Terminator movies, Red Heat, Eraser, The Running Man and True Lies.
I liked End Of Days and I thought Collateral Damage and The Last Action Hero were alright. I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Batman and Robin as one of Arnold's really bad movies. That was terrible. Not as bad as Junior, but worse than Hercules In New York because atleast you can laugh at Hercules In New York.

I believe that you can not attribute to Arnold lifts only when it suits you.
Guy showed us several photos of Arnold and a variety of characters, in which it is clear that his height is around 185 cm.
But in the picture with Woods, according to you, he doesn't wear lifts.
So, try to be more consistent and not to deny the evidence when you are sitting in front of us.

I would say the only movie for which I could really hate Arnold is the abysmal Junior. The end where he gives birth while crying and looking scared is just pathetic beyond words. Arn made some semi-good action flicks during his career but he became way too mushy and touchy-feely in the end. A mistake none of the other action buffs ever made. As a result Arnold never achieved the same kind of manliness as say a Dolph Lundgren or a JCVD. Basically he betrayed hardcore action fans towards the end. NOBODY wanted to see the terminator have emotions. But in his self importance Arnold didn't understand this. Or maybe he just didn't give a s*it?? Either way it destroyed his movie career. Arnold: If you're reading this: Hire me as your agent - I will bring you back!! Lol.

For the 1000th time - the photos with Tony Blair show Arnold being around the same height as Blair. If Blair is a strong 6 footer is not known, but for the sake of convenience say he is. Arnold would then be a 6 footer with his suspicious footwear, to which RisingForce repeatedly pointed out.
Arnold cannot be 6'1''. That's all there is to it, and it surprises me - and yes, disappoints me a little bit - that he feels it is neccessary to lie about his height. Glenn's shocking 5'11'' sighting is totally understandable as Arnold probably did not wear lifts back then.
Also, do you remember the piece about the T3 premiere party in L.A., back in 2003? Where the reporter said "The first surprise: Arnold is only slightly taller than our own Joerg Langer (another reporter from the magazine), and that should mean a lot if you take a look at photos showing our magazine staff".
Well, I did, and Langer was of medium height. Then there was the piece, even older, from 1999. And again "boy, he is short, is what I thought...."
These people had, as opposed to Glenn, not met Arnold before and thought of him as being around 6'2'' - which he could look early in his career.
Arnold is at the very max. 6' fresh out of bed, and seems to lose solidly during the day when he shrinks to 5'11.5'', possibly 5'11.25''.

What is very likely is that Arnold, being vain as he is, will start wearing lifts regularly if either he shrinks another cm or realizes that by now almost no one believes in his 6'1'' lie anymore.

Guys, I want you to consider an expectation that we could have overlooked all that is: when you're tired you tend to take a more relaxed posture, which was lower than when it was fresh and reposed.
I will not support that at all costs that Arnold is actually 1.85 m high as he says, could be, as many of you say, 1.83 m, but in my opinion, we should also consider this aspect.
So in the famous photo with Tiger Woods Click Here could also be tired and be short than Woods but in fact not be.

I think its time you downgraded Reagan as in the 80s he was barely 6'. He looks short compared to a lot of 6'2" guys, Nobody can dispute that Arnie was near 6'2" at peak.

Arnold has lost height. But I don't think his bodybuildng career is to blame. I'd say it's just old age. Throughout the 90's Arnold looked 6ft2. SO he began losing height Sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's. Perhaps he's 186cm now like Robby said?

Thanks Roger. I wanted to believe Arnold when he said he was 6'1" these days, but I can't. And as interesting as those 5'10" sightings are, there's no chance he's that short as well. I think with Arnold at this point it's obvious that he's a minimum 5'11" and a max of 6'0".

As Arnie was a championship bodybuilder .... I think his body has taken it's toll. He's lost alot of height ... you can see it when he walks. He admits to haven lost height ... he seems to have lost height with age, more than any other celeb. I'm worried he may have osteoporosis, or something. Arnie can't attribute his height loss to anything either.

Very good post, RisingForce. You, EjelKhan and quite a few others were or are willing to let the facts speak. Let's see when someone here comes up and writes "I met Arnold recently, he's almost 6'3''" .

How much do you think The Rock is losing in posture in this picture. Click Here Their footwear seems normal by the way. Click Here
Before considering posture I'd say Arnold looks around 2 inches shorter there, maybe a little less. But The Rock is slouching heavily and Arnold looks like he's reaching for the stars. Arnold also seems like he's a little closer to the camera. It seems unlikely to me that The Rock wouldn't be over 3 inches taller if he straightened up.
I use to believe Arnie was still 6'1" and even argued it on this page, but I'd bet he's either 5'11.5" or 6'0" with a small chance of 5'11" flat. Anything over 6 feet seems unlikely if you keep in mind The Rock at 6'3", Tiger Woods at 6'0.5" and Tony Blair at 6 feet flat. If he looks 6'1" at times these days then I'd imagine it's his good posture or thick footwear Click Here

George H.W. Bush is listed now at 6'2" , but when he was president in 1991 he was in fact 6'4 inch tall . I remember arnold going to the white house to meet president bush and back then he only looked about 2 1/2 or 3 inches shorter than 6 foot 4 president bush . That what have put arnold's peak height at 6'1" to 6'1 1/2" . Not 5'11" or 6'flat like some people like to claim .

Arnold can look 6' today, most here agree. He is though, without a doubt, not even a milimeter above 6' fresh out of bed and possibly slightly shorter. Glenn knows it, everyone who can look at the relevant photos cannot possibly come to another conclusion.
For those "I've met him, he's 6'2'' today" folks, stop wasting our time please.

Arnold and Obama look pretty close
Click Here
Click Here
The previous shot of Arnold and Obama can only be entertained as a rough estimate as the shot is low. These shots are side by side and so pretty good for referencing. One thing is for sure is that Arnold doesn't look 5'11" there if Obama is at around 6'1 1/2". Again he looks about 6' 1/2"-6'1" depending on the example. This also fits in with Arnold looking about 6' 1/2"ish next to strong 6 footer Tony Blair. You see there is a lot of rhyme and reason here and it all fits together. If Obama is around 6'1 1/2" (what he is usually and officially listed) than Arnold easily looks close to 6'1" here even if the situation looks a little weird

So the idea Arnold doesn't even look 6' these days is pretty ridiculous.

Ali is just a troll. Vince Basille has no reason to lie. He admits to not liking Arnold. Get over it, Arnie was measured at 6'1.5" barefoot one evening in 1969. That means that Arnold likely did hit 6'2" in the morning. These days he's nothing over 6 feet though.

In relation to that 6'4" guy (who did look very tall as you'd expect) I definately couldn't see a 4 or 5 inch difference. It looked about a 3 inch difference to me maybe 4 max. That would still mean Arnie is a 6 footer.

Ok i thought arnold was still edging 6,1 but recently i saw a video clip with him standing next to no more than 6,2 lesnar. Lesnar wasn't even standing that straight was a clear 2 inches taller maybe even 3 from what i could tell. The videos on brocks bio they met at the arnold classic. I know in prime though arnold was at least 6,1 by this now he must be barely 6,0.

I just watched "Raw Deal" the other night and was waiting for a good comparison of him and Robert Davi. In the scene where Arnold kills him, Arnold surprisingly looks about 1 - 1.25 inches shorter.... And this movie was made in 85' - 86' which backs up my theory that Arnold's height lost actually started in the 80's.

Again with the Bale/Arnold photo, I am always surprised(not really) at the attention and nail in the coffin attitude to these kinds of photos. Arnold and Bale are never standing side by side. I ask you this. Since everyone here thinks the person in front is ALWAYS going to look taller, why does Maria Shriver look so tall considering how she's much further away than Arnold.

She looks as tall as Arnold here despite the fact she should look much shorter being farther from the camera. She clearly should look shorter but is as tall.

And yet Shriver, wearing only sneakers, looks just fractionally shorter if that than Arnold in the bale photo. The most important thing is that her head is at Arnold's in height, but her feet are well above Arnold's feet. This suggests a high angle shot. Take a look at Arnold's daughter. Looks taller than she should here. Why does she look as tall or taller than Arnold if she's further away from the camera?

What it comes down to is the Arnold/Bale photo is another faulty photo comparison with again too many glaring glitches. A high angle Paparazzi shot using a telephoto lens will create such a distortion. It is a ridiculous concept to draw a straight line across from Bales head to Arnold's when the two never adequately stand side by side.

Roger, for me the range of height varies from a minimum (not less) of 1.83 m in the evening and a maximum of 1.85 m in the morning fresh out of bed.
So the Glenn evaluation of 1.83 m is substantially correct.

Metric, the camera is also facing down, which will negate some of the height difference. Arnold truly was 6`2 (or 6`1.75) in his prime.

Arnold is relaxed in the picture, for me anyway, in the morning out of bed is plausible to a height of 184 (6'05 ") / 185 (6'1"), which is reduced in the evening around 182 (5'11 .5 " ) / 183 (6 ').
In any case, we can not deviate much from these measures, so I think 183/184 during the day is correct.

I don't know if Rob is taking much notice of the Arnold debate at the minute, but the majority feel that with all the given evidence, that Arnie has dropped below the 6ft mark. It is certainly worth looking into I feel. Perhaps 5"11.5 or 5"11.75 would be the best listing at present.
In 10 years time we'll all be debating if he's 5"10 or 5"11!

His peak height is not a question in my opinion. He was measured in the evening. His current could be anywhere from 5'11" to 6'0" depending on the time of day.

True enough, Roger. The thing with Arnold is that as soon as he opens his big austrian mouth you can almost ALWAYS assume some sort of lie will come out of it! I mean he is so well known for distorting the truth that even reporters always writes in articles about him (in danish newspapers anyway); "With Arnold you never really know if he is telling you the truth or just messing with your head??..." and etc etc. He is a shallow, conniving piece of work. But then again, I guess you have to be in order to make your living as a posterboy 24-7. Now, that's what I call manly. Err, well NOT...

Metric, the question - can we trust Arnold on what he says? He might have felt that 210 lbs sound too little, so simply added 10 pounds. We won't know for sure.
He looked like 210 lbs on a 6'1'' frame for most of his late 80s to T3 career, around 215 lbs in T3 (he was 6' max. here already).

1st:
Letterman never was 6'2,he was more like 6'1.5,he looks to have only half an inch over Bill Murray (who is a legitimate 6'1).
On YouTube there is a video where you can compare the height of the two.
2nd:
Arnold never was 6'2,he was more like 6'1.25 ""as he claims"" (Letterman was a bit taller than him as you can see in another video of YouTube).
In the photo with The Rock (6'3) we can't see what tipe of shoes they wear.
This is Arnold true height:
Peak 6'1.25 (186) - 6'0 and 6'2 are ridicoulus estimation.
Now 5'11.5 (182) - Looks shorter because of his weight and posture.
3rd and final:
He was tall but not 6'2. I'm also his fan,but the celebrities tend to lie about their real height.

at most.
I remember very well when Bill Clinton a year or so
ago was on the letterman show. Letterman and Clinton
stood side by side and they were exactly the same height.
Clinton is a slightly under 6'1. About 184 cm.
Barack Obama is taller than Clinton and he is about 186 cm.
Clinton's 6'2 claims are incorrect. Google ''blair clinton'' and
you will see pictures where Clinton is only at most an inch taller
than 6'0 Blair.

Metric, I'm amazed you can get so aroused by the "Arnold is still 6'1'' and was min. 6'2''" crowd. Those guys are deluded, and nothing will change their mind. I mean, what else can you say after the Arnold / Woods and Woods / Federer photos.
However, what you write about Arnold looking small is not neccessarily right.
First, he sometimes was as low as 200 pounds in the 80s (just read the intro to the interview Playboy magazine did with im in 1988). Secondly, he shoulders are not that broad. That accounts for a lot. Someone like Michael Jordan, who was 215 lbs standing almost 6'6'', could look bigger back then thanks to his naturally wider shoulders.
It should be noted that what makes genetically gifted people like Arnold special is that they can build up mass quite easily. Just witness Kevin Levrone as another example.
Or Arnold in 1980. He did not win this Mr Olympia deservedly, but still, for slightly less than 80 days preparation, it was quite a body.

Erm Lucio, in that video, Clinton is "clearly" taller than Arnold. If you factor Clinton's poor posture he could be as much as 1.5" taller than Arnie.
Clinton might not even be a full 6"1 these days. Im a huge fan of Arnold but the guy appears to have slipped fractionally below the 6"0 mark which is sad to see. He makes up for the loss with lifts at events/photo shoots where he will be against other "lifted" people.
6"1 is fantasy these days. 5"11.5 or 6"0 it is.

So do some guys still think that Arnold has lost 2" or more from his prime?
He was 183-184 cm ( 6'-6'.05" ) peak. And currently if he stand straight he still is aroud 6'.
So with good shoes it is easy for him to be the same height of Obama who is no more than 6'1"

If your carry more weight on the upper body (like arnie) do you lose more height with age because of the extra compression on the spine and develop a dowagers hump?

Roger2 ur right Arnie was the same height as Clinton .... I remember pics of them together back in the day, and now. Clinton hasn't lost height, but Arnie has, due to his strict physical regime during body building, which has taking it's toll on his body. This explains his height loss. Still 6'1" though, and still a legend!

This b*llsh*t has to end! How can Arnold be 188-189 cm when he was ALWAYS shorter than legit 188 cm David Letterman!!?? ALWAYS! I know many of you say "Nooo, they are the same height" but they are not! Click Here It's so obvious that Arnold is AT LEAST 2-3 cm shorter than David in this vid! And he probably wears lifts here because he knows that his height deception will be on serious scrutiny in a major television broadcast. But little does it help our "hero". He is just DWARFED! To make matters worse Letterman even has horrible posture most of the time while Arnold is standing straight as hell. You can easily imagine what would happen if Letterman stood straight? Yes, Arnold would be pulverized! This is clearly NOT two men of equal height (188-189 cm). Look at the difference in the size of their frames: This is 1986-version of prime 220 lbs beefy Arnold. Still he does not at all look intimidating to the degree that you would expect from a huge bodybuilder squaring of against a thin-type body like Lettermans. Why is this the case? Because David has the larger skeletal frame and naturally looks bigger than Arnold. Obviously I'm not talking muscle or weight where Arn has him beaten. Bottom line 189 cm for Arnie is nothing but deluded fanboys wet dreams. Here's a handkerchief for y'all. Lol.

Most of the time Arnold is in flat shoes, like when out shopping or with his daughter etc.
I think he wears small lifts at movie premiers. Like when he was with Stallone he might have slipped a small 1" lift in his shoes.
I don't think he wears big lifts. If anything its usually just a bigger heel with Arnold. The only time he probably has worn huge boots is in his movies such as Terminator.

Arnold's footwear looks unusually big in this 2002 picture.
Click Here
I've seen him on a few other ocassions where his footwear looked pretty big. I don't think he wears lifts 24/7 like Stallone, Pitt, Downey or Reynolds. But it wouldn't surprise me if he wears them ocassionally.
When do you think Arnold first lost a noticeable amount of height? I thought that he still looked 6'2" in the late 90's, especially since Jessie Ventura didn't look much taller than him. He still looked atleast 6'1" in The 6th Day and Collateral Damage in my opinion.
He started looking noticeably shorter to me in about 2003. He had an injury just before Christmas in 2006 though which required an operation that could have made him lose even more height as well. His height seemed to be written about even more around the time he ran for Governor. I think he's been a flat 6 foot max for the past 5-6 years and maybe these days he's a bit under that.
