Complex said on 9/Jan/09
Yeah, I mean in my honest opinion, I can definately buy a strong 5'11 or even a weak 6'0 nowdays and even 6'0 back in the day, I just can't buy 6'1. Personally I think he's 5'11 or marginally under, but I also go by evening height.

ron wood is 5-10.5.i met him 30 times in 20 years.at least.he looks 5-9 with bad posture in boots one day,then the next a full 5-10.5 in converse the next night! perplexing,but ive been examining his height for years.
anonymous said on 9/Jan/09
james, you don't need to look closely to realize that ben affleck is slouching. Even while slouching, ben looks an inch taller, which gets rid of that pesky "looking 6`2". Without the slouch, i am guessing at least 2 inches.
Brad said on 9/Jan/09
He's wearing "astro-lifts". Ben must be in "astro-deflates" to make Bruce look taller.
RisingForce said on 9/Jan/09
Complex, he looked 5-9.5 in barefeet so I'd go with that instead of how tall he looked with boots.
anonymous said on 8/Jan/09
He looks astoundingly tall next to Owen wilson though, which steers me to the notion of lifts. However, he still does not look 6`2 next to affleck: Click Here
Brad said on 8/Jan/09
I saw Affleck from 3 feet away. There is NO WAY Willis can be as tall as he was in Armageddon without customs. Brenda meet the 6' 1" club, enjoy the ride, it must be hilarious reading these posts.

isnt theron like 5'9.5-9.75?
GUK said on 8/Jan/09
Willis looks tall with Ronnie Wood, but Ronnie is 5ft 8 (not 5ft 10 he pretends)
Complex said on 8/Jan/09
Fair enough rising...I mean in my opinion I saw 2 to 3 inches between them at times in armageddon but there were times it seemed less. But I doubt Depp is over 5'9, he's listed alot of places at 5'7-5'8, not saying he's that low, but I seriously would be shocked if he were over 5'9, in potc he looked 5'9 in boot alot of the time.
RisingForce said on 8/Jan/09
Complex, I said movie stills aren't good to judge when you can't see their feet.

Depp is atleast 5'9 1/2".

Complex I said he looked atleast 6'2" in Armageddon next to Bne Affleck which is true. I never said he is 6'2", just that he looked it in that movie.

I think Bruce is 6 feet or a bit over. 6'1" is possible but it seems a little too high in my opinion.
glenn said on 8/Jan/09
bad angles and bad pics.no offence.actually those pics are great compared to others in general.i only clicked on some.we dont know how tall long is for sure cause nobody here met him including me.pitt is all over the place in his height and was probably hopping up and down like his character did,and perry is 6ft.
Hugh said on 8/Jan/09
No James. RisingForce was just referring to Armageddon where Bruce did look the same height as 6ft2.5 Ben Affleck.
Complex said on 7/Jan/09
Rising Depp isn't even 5'9.5 barefoot...I believe you yourself said that movie stills aren't good to judge height, so judging the ones of him and Theron aren't very accurate! And how can you say Bruce looked at least 6'2??? In translation that means "Not lower than 6'2". He's more 5'11 nowdays, maybe 6'0 in peak who knows, never 6'1 barefoot! I even think he may be lower than 5'11 nowdays in the evening.
Brenda said on 7/Jan/09
I met him in Sun Valley Idaho 10 years ago. He was in low cut sneakers. Five feet eleven is what he was. 6 feet one is in some sort of big boots or you need glasses.
Brad said on 7/Jan/09
If you think Bruce isn't in lifts with Ben Affleck you must be dreaming. Look at him with Petra. Great photos Anon. Mamun isn't 5' 10".
RisingForce said on 7/Jan/09
Depp is atleast 5-9.5, look at him barefoot with Charlize Theron.

Brad, you base Bruce being in lifts on nothing. He's rarely even in big heeled shoes. The Rocky Balboa premiere is among the only time I can think of. There's no reason to suspect Bruce of wearing lifts.

He looked atleast 6-2 in Armageddon next to Ben Affleck. I forgot about that movie as I hadn't seen it since it was in theaters but I saw it on TV last night and Bruce was pretty much Affleck's height in it.
Complex said on 6/Jan/09
I agree brad, alot of celebs, when caught in barefeet seem to reveal their true height which is usually alot shorter than what they walk around all day, this is due to lifts/elevators, camera angles etc. Depp is never 5'10 and Willis is never 6'1. 6'1 is insane, in all the pics of him looking over 6'0 he's in shoes or you can't see his feet, but barefoot, he's 5'11 max nowdays!

Bruce is closer to the camera. Richards is 5' 9". Willis is in big ones. At 6' 1" he'd be 6' 2.5" next to Cybil in Mooonlighting. Laughter.
RisingForce said on 6/Jan/09
That entire post was wrong Brad
glenn said on 6/Jan/09
thanks rob.richards is 5-9.depp is 5-10.woody is 5-10.5.willis is 6-1.
Brad said on 6/Jan/09
With Petra it is reality: 5' 11". No lifts or movie/TV tricks....just no shoes. Just like Stallone: you catch them without the things on their feet they become open for being shot down. 6' 1" is insane next to Petra.
glenn said on 5/Jan/09
well said risingforce.
Doug said on 5/Jan/09
To Rob. I agree Rob. I think Aubry looks a strong 6'3" which would explain why Willis looks like a 5'9" guy in comparison
RisingForce said on 5/Jan/09
We do have a lot that places Bruce in the 6-0 to 6-1 range. The picture where he's taller than Tom Hanks, the pictures where he's taller than Denzel, the picture where he's taller than Chris Tucker. In those pictures he looks taller than guys who the majority agree are 6 footers.

So even if you believe he's 5-11, don't act like he can't look 6-0 or 6-1 because he can.

I personally believe he's 6-0 and change but can look 5-11 because of posture.
glenn said on 5/Jan/09
really alex? you met him? and more than once? in different footwear? not to be a dick,but listen to what your saying.you can say,you think he is 5-11ish.not that he is.if you or others never saw him in the flesh,dont be certain.
TELLEM said on 4/Jan/09
next to bryan adams in the 80's he looked 5'11
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
It's not rare a 5ft11.5 guy claiming 6ft1.
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
He looked similiar in height to Travolta.
Alex said on 4/Jan/09
I really do buy Bruce at 6'0 at his peak. Him trying to claim 6'1 today is stretching it because he's really more 5'11-5'11 1/2 today.
RisingForce said on 4/Jan/09
Yeah James but Bruce wasn't standing at his straightest either. I'd say 184 cm fits Bruce well in general.
Hugh said on 3/Jan/09
Nice Pic RisingForce!

I'm sure though. I cannot see Hanks under 6ft. Willis might've been wearing some fancy footwear. But then again I could be dead wrong.
Brad said on 3/Jan/09
Good photo with Travolta.
RisingForce said on 3/Jan/09
Look at this Hugh
Click Here

Bruce does look taller than Tom Hanks.
RisingForce said on 3/Jan/09
Lego, Mamun has much better posture than Bruce although Bruce is closer to the camera. Bruce has the camera advantage and Mamun has the posture advantage but Bruce does end up looking about 5-11.5/6-0 here.

It's clear that Bruce is losing some height to Mamun in posture but gaining some height from being closer to the camera. Either way it's not just a 3 inch difference but not a full 4 inch difference either. And I believe Mamun now is listed here at 5-8.25.
Hugh said on 3/Jan/09
Nah I think Travolta is more of 6ft1 guy at least. But did Willis actually look taller than Tom Hanks?
RisingForce said on 2/Jan/09
Are you blind Adam???!

Tom is closer to the camera and Bruce isn't standing that straight either.
Lego said on 2/Jan/09
his head is tilted up so keep this into account..

he don't look more than 183cm (184cm with head titled) in the image, he's 180cm-181cm imo.
GUK said on 2/Jan/09

Smaller than 6ft Travolta
Hugh said on 2/Jan/09
Always looked at least 6ft to me. He looked 6ft1/6ft2 in Die Hard 3. 6ft/6ft1 in Die Hard and yeah Ed 6ft2 flat in Armageddon. Crazy!
Brad said on 2/Jan/09
Gee Ed, ya think he MIGHT be wearing lifts with Affleck? He looks his real height with Simmons. Try telling that to people here who say he is 6' 1" Eddy.
Ed(1) said on 2/Jan/09
I caught a few minutes of Armageddon on TV the other day, and in the beginning of the film there's several scenes between Willis, Liv Tyler(5ft10), and Ben Affleck(6ft2.5), interesting enough Willis was the same height as Affleck who was barefoot, and at least 2 inches or more taller then Tyler who was wearing high heels. Willis had on boots in the scene and easily gave off the impression of 6ft1+ or more. I don't know if he was wearing lifts, but he was definitely looking in the neighborhood of 6ft2 compared to Affleck.

The guy was at least 6ft back then(1998) if not more!
adam said on 2/Jan/09
RisingForce says on 1/Jan/09
Bruce is taller than 6 foot Tom Hanks


Come on! In that pic Willis is closer to the camera and Hanks is slouching. Tom Hanks was a solid six-footer. Willis about half an inch less.
RisingForce said on 2/Jan/09
If Bruce is 5-11 then what is Tom Hanks? 5-10ish?
Danny said on 2/Jan/09
lol if you think about it he can claim 6`1 because 182cm is only 3cm off and any good pair of shoes will give you 3 cm.

Brad said on 1/Jan/09
I guess he needs sneakers with Petra.
Complex said on 1/Jan/09
Rising in a movie like Die Hard where willis is "the hero of the day" it's gonna be expected for him to look tall, which prolly means lifts, it's similiar to that of Wahlberg in Italian Job, he was the main guy therefore they craimed him in lifts to appear taller than the crew. I'm not sure if Willis lost height or not but now days I would bank on the fact that he's no more than 5'11 in the evening. If he's 6'1 then (6'2) Kutcher must be 6'4-6'5!
Mister Lennon said on 1/Jan/09
In that picture, Hanks is slouching, not standing straight. Also, Hanks is taller than Willis and it was proofed in that movie that they did together. Hanks had an inch on Willis of not more.

Bruce's height is tricky, i think that sometimes he wears lifts. But he has been always looked a little bit taller than average. I have seen him as a 5'11 guy at peak, nothing more. 6'1 is too, too over the top for him. He was clearly shorter than Arnie by some inches.
RisingForce said on 1/Jan/09
Bruce isn't a lift wearer. He seems like he could care less about his height, he always slouches and he often wears sandals.

He was taller than 6-0 Tom Hanks though.
glenn said on 1/Jan/09
im sure he wears lifts in low cut sneakers and shorts,ankles in place,whenever me and dozen people here in new york see him.a dozen peers that is.

i admit off hand,off the top of my head,never really watching the show back,he looked 5-11.doesnt mean he is.i never met cybil.but she is a big girl.in the 5-8 or more region.willis is practically my next door neighbor.he isnt 5-11. 6-1.6ft if im wrong.not a hair under.
anonymous said on 31/Dec/08
risingforce, he did not have 5 inches on 5`8 william sadler in die hard 2.
Hugh said on 31/Dec/08
I saw Die Hard 3 and he looked eye level with Big Sam throughout the whole movie. Likewise with Jeremy Irons.
Brad said on 31/Dec/08
Hi Anon, I've made that Cybil point numerous times. The producers pretty much demanded her to go barefoot with him.
RisingForce said on 31/Dec/08
Well I just watched Die Hard 2 again and he sure looked around 6-1 in it.

I'll use the heights listed on this site for reference.

Bruce towered over 5-10 Dennis Franz by 3+ inches throughout the movie
Bruce
Bruce was only about 4 inches shorter than 6-5 Fred Thompson
Bruce was taller than 5-11.25 John Amos(who wore army boots)
Complex said on 30/Dec/08
He's definately not 6'1, that's for sure!
anonymous said on 30/Dec/08
i know this has been addressed, but willis at 6`1 would mean that he had 5 inches over cybil shepard. Did anyone ever see anything close to a 5 inch difference between them?
RisingForce said on 30/Dec/08
One thing about Bruce's height that confuses me is that at the Rocky Balboa premiere he was a half inch shorter than Sly and Sly was in 3" elevator shoes while Bruce was in 1.5"/1.75" heels.

I know some don't buy 5-10+ for Stallone but even if you give Stallone his claim of 5-10.75 then add 1.25"/1.5" for Sly's footwear advantage and then take away half an inch for the difference that puts Bruce at 5'11.5"/5'11.75" now.

So if even a 5-10.75 Stallone puts Bruce at 5-11.5/5-11.75 how does Bruce look like a 6 footer in so many pictures?

I guess maybe I'm leaning more towards Bruce at 5-11.5/5-11.75 morning height again now and maybe he was over 6 foot peak.
Complex said on 28/Dec/08
In the evening kutcher is 6'2, maybe he's around 6'2.5 or a tad over morning height, but not legit 6'3 evening. Bruce is more 5'11, 6'0 would be the absolute highest for peak height that I would give Willis. 6'1 is wishful thinking, i'm not sure what Willis was on when he claimed 6'1...but I want some!
Da Man said on 28/Dec/08
Ashton is only 6'3" in shoes
Mike said on 28/Dec/08
Yeah its silly/funny/worth it fighting over Willis height, but once again Im betting 5'11 or 6, no way for 5'10 or 6'1...if hes 5'10 how come he's got Manum by 3 or 3.5 inches making Willis appear 5'11 or 6 in photo above, and if he's 6'1 he should be very similiar/close/identical to Arnold which hes not, usually solid 2 inches below Arnold
glenn said on 28/Dec/08
ashton isnt 6-2.sorry.he is 6-3.
Complex said on 27/Dec/08
If Willis is 6'1 then how tall is Ashton????
Click Here
(Bruce next to 6'2 Ashton)

Bruce is 5'11 and evening height is prolly under 5'11 truth be told, but i'd settle with 5'11 or a little tad over, never 6'0 or 6'1. 6'1 is just way way to generous for Willis, that's even generous for an out of bed height for him, he's more 5'11 now days, not sure if he's lost height but for sure he's either higher up in the 5'10 range or lower 5'11 range nowdays...
Clay said on 27/Dec/08
Im 100% sure the 5'11.5 he's listed is the lowest possible height.
GUK said on 27/Dec/08
He's not looking anywhere near 6ft 1 there though is he?
Looks like the height difference to Richard E Grant in Hudson Hawk

RisingForce said on 27/Dec/08
Bruce at the Rocky Balboa premiere did seem really questionable as a 6 footer but he looks over 6 feet next to many guys like Denzel Washington, Chris Tucker, Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise.
Doug said on 27/Dec/08
Glenn. If Willis is 6'1" how tall is Gabriel Aubry in the photo with him and Halle Berry? He has him by four inches. Can you only see an inch between them? Aubry is 6'2" officially. If Willis is 6'1" then Aubry is 6'5" which he's not.

Editor Rob
a lot of agencies cap male model height listings at 6ft 2 for whatever reason...but Gabriel looks taller than 6ft 2.
Brad said on 26/Dec/08
Fighting over 1" or so is a joke but as Miley Cyrus says being famous sure is fuuuuun and figuring out their heights sure is fuuuun even though I have better things to do I'm sure. Rising digging up photos and paragraphs of litany in his defense is quite a lot. He's 5' 11" with Petra. I love barefoot comparison.
Daii said on 25/Dec/08
He looks 5'10 in the picture above, but Im sure he is a good 5'11 otherwise..
glenn said on 25/Dec/08
im still confident on 6-1.and would bet money on it if i had it.im not a gambler either and hate risks.
glenn said on 25/Dec/08
true that brad.
Complex said on 24/Dec/08
Yeah rising force, that line, now take in to consideration that Olyphant's knees are bent, straight up we might see another inch!
TELLEM said on 24/Dec/08
Timothy Olyphant is clearly taller than 5'11 willis...just look at their shoulders...
Hugh said on 24/Dec/08
I think James's estimates are dead on. A little over 6ft in his prime now just under 6ft.
anonymous said on 24/Dec/08
RisingForce, look at him next to justin long, there is no way he has 3 inches on him, especially since justin long is at a footwear disadvantage.
Brad said on 24/Dec/08
1/2" fighting over Bruce Willis, man that's like 2 chimps fighting over a banana....but we enjoy it.
Doug said on 24/Dec/08
There is a photo online of Willis with Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry. If Willis is 5 11 and half then Halle Berry's boyfriend is in the 6'4" range. Aubry is listed as 6'2" but see the major height difference between him and Willis it is at least four inches. Willis looks about 5'9" in comparison. Either he isn't about 6 ft or Aubry is taller than he is listed.
RisingForce said on 24/Dec/08
I say Bruce could be 5-11.75, 6-0.25 there because he's CLEARLY tilting his head down.

Click Here

The line shows a very small difference and Bruce is tilting his head down plus we can't really see the heel of Timothy's shoes so we can't judge who has the footwear advantage.
Complex said on 24/Dec/08
Rising, Olyphant is 6'0 dead on so how is Bruce 6'0.25 there?? I'd suggest trying one of those charts with the big E little e and reading the top line, cuz you must need glasses.

To give you a better perspective of that pic since somehow in this strange universe you only see 0.25 inch, look at the pic again and judge the tops of their heads versus the writing "langsam 4.0" on the wall. Looking at it that way you will see how far Willis's head comes from the top of the white letters verses Olyphants who with straighter posture would be close to hitting the top of the letters, plus just look at olyphants eyes verses bruces, where do you get a quarter of an inch, in make believe fairy tale land? Plus olyphant is leaning and how you get that bruce is 6'0.25 there when olyphant is 6'0 I really don't know, if you did your line thing you'd see olyphant (with straighter posture) would be nearing 2 inches taller, just compare bruce to maggie q, then olyphant to maggie q, there's tons of ways to look at it, either way, a quarter of an inch difference between the 2 is out of the question, no one would argue this after looking at it with the methods i've explained (letters on the wall, eye level, comparison to maggie q, etc)!
Anonymous said on 23/Dec/08
i say almost 6'0" about 5' 11.75
anonymous said on 23/Dec/08
rising force, first off, willis is not slouching there. next, there is no way he is 5`11.75-6`0.25 in that shot. He does not have 3 inches on justin long (who has a .5 inch footwear disadvantage). bruce looks a solid 5`11.5 there, not 6 foot.
dmeyer said on 23/Dec/08
i agree in all pictures from willis , olyphant , and long , it is hard to see willis over 5 ft 10.5
RisingForce said on 23/Dec/08
Complex, Bruce is slouching and he comes in just 1/4 shy of Timothy Olyphant. Granted Timothy is bending his knees a bit but Bruce is anywhere from 5-11.75 to 6-0.25 there.
TELLEM said on 22/Dec/08

Bruce with 6'0 Timothy Olyphant, 5'5 Maggie Q (in heels) and what I firmly believe to be 5'8 evening height Justing Long but we can say 5'9 since he's given that here.

Assuming all these heights are correct and giving 5'8 long the benefit of the doubt, that would likely put Bruce at 5'10.5 or maybe as low as 5'10 since he's wearing dress shoes and Long is in converse, assuming Willis's shoes have no lifts. But 6'0 olyphant with leaning posture still has 1.5 possibly 2 inches on Willis. I think evening height for willis is in the 5'10 range.
RisingForce said on 22/Dec/08
GUK, did you forget about something called posture? Mamun clearly has military posture and Bruce is visibly slouching.
Brad said on 21/Dec/08
Cybil is leaning because Bruce was 5' 11" then and now.
GUK said on 21/Dec/08
No-way 6'0.25 barefoot that would make Willis' eyes over Mamums head. There is no more than 3 inches (probably slightly less), look at the shoulder height too

RisingForce: why was Cybil Sheppard leaning over so much in that photo?
RisingForce said on 21/Dec/08
Mamun is 5'8.25" and Bruce is 4" taller in the picture.

You do the math, Bruce is 6'0.25".
Complex said on 20/Dec/08
Now days he's prolly a little under 5'11 evening height, especially compared to 5'8 justin long...

yeah,i saw that pic.it says it all risingforce.well said on willis.
GUK said on 19/Dec/08
This is why for me the guy has always been under 6ft

A 6ft 1 guy would not require his 5ft 8/9 costar to lean over if she wore heals.

Cybil would be 1.5 + inches taller if she stood up straight in this pic.

Most of the show she was barefoot or small heal and he was a max 2 inches taller in shoes, so 5ft 11 barefoot is generous IMHO
glenn said on 19/Dec/08
james-exactly.or any posture for that matter.he usually doesnt stand straight at all.i have a 6-1.5 friend that looks 5-11.5 with his horrendous postute.and back and knee problems to boot.

that petra pic is the biggest joke goin on the site since the sharon stone/sly shower pic,and the kurt russell was taller than sly in the shower.ha.its clear as day if he straightened out and stood in the same exact position as her he would be 6ft minimum.unreal.

In case you haven't seen it. Here's a picture from Sly and Sharon Stone in the shower where they actually stand straight. Not the ridiculous one where Sly is bending backwards.
Click Here
2" taller than 5'8.5" Sharon Stone

In the picture of Bruce barefoot you can see his legs are not straight at all. I've posted numerous pictures of Bruce looking 6-0, 6-1 or even slightly taller. Bruce can look 5-11 because he slouches but he's not 5-11.

I just watched the siege and he was basically the same height as 6 foot 1 denzel washington and in friends, he is an inch shorter than 6 foot 1 david schrimmer. I would say 182cm.

RisingForce, that doesn't explain 2 inches shorter than Costner.
Similar height to Clooney
Same height as the friends guy who is estimated as 5ft 11
Significantly shorter the Richard E Grant
6ft in shoes is possible for Willis but barefoot the evidence says 5ft 11
RisingForce said on 16/Dec/08
If Bruce is 5-11 then Denzel Washington, Gerard Butler, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Tucker and Tom Cruise all need to be downgraded quite a bit.

Bruce is a hair over 6 foot in my opinion. All of these are reasons why.

Arnold was 6-2 peak and had about 2 inches(maybe a little less) on Bruce. That puts Bruce at 6-0, 6-0.25.

I think Sylvester Stallone is 5-10.75 and he often looks half an inch taller than Bruce but he almost always has a 2 inch footwear advantage meaning Bruce would be about 1 1/2 inches taller barefoot. That also places Bruce at 6-0.25

Bruce looked about an inch shorter than Gerard Butler(listed 6-1.25 here). That puts him at 6-0.25 again

And of course he looked about the same height as Denzel Washington(listed 6-0.25 here).

He can look either shorter or taller than this but I'm pretty sure on 6-0, 6-0.25 for Bruce. 6-1 seems a bit much(although he can look it) and under 6 foot is even less likely.
Brad said on 16/Dec/08
Mike is correct.
glenn said on 15/Dec/08
my mistake,josh looks 6-2 usually.i think the 6-3 part im wrong about.
Mike said on 15/Dec/08
First off Im open for 5'11 to 6 for Willis, Im not calling Glenn insane/crazy for seeing him 6'1 alot but the easiest way to say no way for 6'1 is Arnold (for arguements sake lets call him 6'1 to 6'2 peak) Arnold is/has/always is 2-3 inches taller then Willis, take 6'1 or 6'2 and deduct from there is there any 6'1 man that Arnold is consistently taller then by 2-3 inches?? no way, Willis gotta be 5'11 or 6
glenn said on 14/Dec/08
thats true.josh can look 6-2 to 6-3.
DMEYER said on 13/Dec/08
willis can look 5 ft 10 to 6 ft 1 never under never over
DMEYER said on 13/Dec/08
willis is a mistery he can looks 2 in taller than 5 ft 9 long and willis has 1.75 in boots and long has 0.75 in footwear it means willis is 5 ft 10 then with normal footwear he looks 1 in taller than clooney who is about 5 ft 11
Hugh said on 13/Dec/08
Affleck at 6ft2.5 is spot on. He towers over Matt Damon. Which potentially could make Hartnett a full 6ft3. He looed about half an inch taller than Affleck in Pearl Harbour. I'm beginning to agree with Glenn's take on Willis. 6ft minimum.
RisingForce said on 12/Dec/08
I'm not sure I can agree with a full 6-1 for Bruce but I can easily see 6-0, 6-0.25.

A man that height could look 5-11 slouching and give illusions of 6-1. He loked that height next to Arnold in the mid 90's too when you factor in Arnold's half inch footwear advantage over Bruce's flip flops which add no height.

I think Damon is 5-10 as well which backs up Bruce at 6-0, 6-0.25.
Ed(1) said on 12/Dec/08
So Affleck at 6ft2 and Willis at just about 6ft sounds accurate. Perhaps they bumped up Willis' shoes so he would be even closer in height with Affleck, but I do remember a good 1.5-2" difference between the two which fits with Rob's listing.

I agree Viper, Hartnett looked the taller of the two in Pearl Harbor.
DMEYER said on 12/Dec/08
willis aws defenetly near 6 ft at his peak but now look under 5 ft 11
glenn said on 12/Dec/08
never saw affleck mysteriously.can look 6-3,but a hair under 6-2 isnt insanity.but brad is right.6-2.
Viper said on 11/Dec/08
I thought Hartnett looked slightly taller of the 2. BTW James were are these pics where Affleck looks 6-4?
Brad said on 11/Dec/08
Stood next to him not long ago at the DNC, he's 6' 2".
Brad said on 10/Dec/08
Tellum is correct, the director isn't going to let Affleck own him.
Viper said on 10/Dec/08
I peg Affleck at just under 6-2 as well.
RisingForce said on 10/Dec/08
Well if Clooney is 5'10, 5'10.5" max then how tall is Pitt? At a recent premiere both appeared to be wearing lifts and Clooney had close to 2 inches on him even factoring in his slight camera advantage.

As far as Mr. R well I think he seems like a really nice guy and I agree with quite a few of his estimates(Richard Crenna, Will Smith, Carl Weathers and Billy Dee Williams among others). However there are some I can't believe like William Shatner at 5'6" and Ray Liotta at 5'10". I put the Clooney 5'9.5" estimate in that category honestly.

Viper, average height is 5'9.25" so yes a 5'9" guy could look short anyway, especially with bad posture.

Gordon Brown is also closer to the camera than Clooney.
GUK said on 10/Dec/08
He doesn't look as tall as 5ft 11 Gordon Brown looked against Clooney

TELLEM said on 10/Dec/08
mr. R saw clooney at 5'9.5 and mr. R IS 5'11.5...i personally think clooney is 5'10, 5'10.5 MAX...that makes sense with the willis picture since willis looks 5'11, 5'11.5 the most there with clooney
TELLEM said on 10/Dec/08
clooney could be 5'10
TELLEM said on 10/Dec/08
Ed the main actor of armageddon was BRUCE WILLIS...the director i'm sure did not want willis to look so short next to a co-star...its common sense
Viper said on 10/Dec/08
A real 5-9 hardly ever looks short in movies, especially If they are not stocky. They look 5-10-5-11 at lot. Clooney looks average in movies most of the time. 5-9 is not out of the question. Mr R. saw him between 5-9 and 5-10 in person. He could be taller than that but there is no way hes any taller than 5-10.

Clooney at the absolute, absolute most you could give him is 5-10.
Hugh said on 10/Dec/08
Well he's clearly 6ft1-2 next to Big Sam in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Hugh said on 10/Dec/08
Ed's right. Bruce's height can really fluctuate. I think 6ft flat could be a possibilty.
Mister Lennon said on 10/Dec/08
I see it very clear, Willis is 5'11 and Clooney is 5'10. I think that the 6'1 thing for Willis is pretty laughable. He never looked that tall. Never.
dicky curtis said on 10/Dec/08
In the picture i can see clear difference between him and clooney,
he seems a full inch in front.
the only thing i can't really place is how short he looked next to kevin costner.
on the other pictures i could see 6 ft.
RisingForce said on 10/Dec/08
Brad, then why is Clooney clearly shorter than Bruce?

Brad said on 9/Dec/08
Yeah, a 5' 11" Clooney with a 6' 1" Willis. Hahahaha. Try 5' 11" each. Woody is 5' 9" in license & booking at a police station.
TELLEM said on 9/Dec/08
meeting celebs in person is a huge difference.

not really, because chances are they're packing lifts...meeting them barefoot, then i'd say ok

Editor Rob
in person you can see movement and posture, something you are not always certain of in photos.

But, you are still using eyes to judge, even judging someone whose height you know standing against a celebrity, there's still things you have to consider.
RisingForce said on 9/Dec/08
No Clooney at 5-9 is hilarious. 5-9 guys tend to look short at times, Clooney NEVER does. With Clooney's posture if he was 5-9 then he'd get a lot of 5-7, 5-8 sightings and once again he NEVER does.
Derek said on 9/Dec/08
In all fairness, Bruce did look 6'1" in Armageddon, though that is the only time I've seen him look 6'1".
Viper said on 9/Dec/08
Yeah, I guess a 5-11-5-11 1/2 Clooney would equal a 6-1 Bruce Willis. Thats hillarious.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
tellem-people argue and disagree with viper the most.his gauges are 2 inches off of everyones real height.on rare occasion ill agree with him.even agreed with him recently.you downplay a bit yourself.but your not ridiculous.your willing to listen.as for why you think his pics dont make him laughable is another story.anyone can find pics of celebs where they look shorter or taller than they really are.meeting celebs in person is a huge difference.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
woody harrelson also claims 5-9 on his license.and he is cleary 5-10-5-11.if millions are laughing at me its cause they never met nas.and millions are laughing at you too for your other gauges.
Brad said on 9/Dec/08
Look at him with Clooney. I never knew Clooney was 6' 1.5".
RisingForce said on 9/Dec/08
I agree James. I think Clooney is 5'11.5" and Bruce is 6'0" or a hair taller. Both of them slouch.
runt said on 9/Dec/08
James says on 8/Dec/08
"Colin Farrell could be more than 5ft10 but the thing is Bruce next to Colin only look tall becuase Farrell is slouching. Plus the camera angles are all over the place in that pick."

I posted 3 pics. If you had looked at them all I don't think you would've made your comment.
Chris said on 9/Dec/08
Rob, How come you removed 5'11'' for Bruce?

Editor Rob
he threatened to make a sequel to Hudson Hawk.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
it is odd of viper.especially picking at me out the blue twice in a couple weeks,of all the people on the site.when people tried to get my opinion of him lately i stood silent to avoid conflict or making him feel uncomfortable.but he is on the warpath now.maybe he wants to see me flip out more and leave the site again? which im not.im pretty sure all but 2 or 3 welcomed me back on the site with open arms.i think viper was in the few that stood silent.he might have something against me thats arising now.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
clooney is 5-11,5-11.5.dont count his hair.willis is bald and can stand straighter.thats 6ft for willis.and never mind that clooneys been looking 6-1 to me in lifts.seeing these celebs in the flesh is a whole different ball game.
glenn said on 9/Dec/08
you havnt met them brad.if and when you do,,you will agree on 6ft for willis and 5-9 for nas at the worse.why do you repeat yourself daily on my so called wrong guagings? we get your point brad.others here are getting annoyed by you.besides me.

"Or, on maria sharapovas page, you will find some guy named miser who states that maria is 6`0 at best (has he ever seen her next to dwayne wade or josh duhammel?)"

Yes I have seen those, she was wearing some killer heels next to Josh Duhammel and still looked slightly smaller than him. The pic with Dwayne Wade was interesting but bad, only showed their face. Have you seen the pictures I posted of her next to Venus Williams(on tennis snickers, on court) and the full-body pics of her next to Andy Roddick/James Blake? She is 6' at the most.

Women's heights are totally over-rated in this website. And most of the leading male actors are under-rated.
anonymous said on 8/Dec/08
its odd viper. you used to always sit out whenever there were heated fights/debates on this site. you would usually ignore them, or if someone attacked you, offer an explanation (or you would simply ignore them). You have been getting braver lately, and i can't figure out why. Isn't it best if we all stop arguing about this. This site is meant to be friendly in tone.
anonymous said on 8/Dec/08
i will have to agree with glenn that willis can look 6`1. Do i think he actually is... no. But no doubt there are a few photos i have seen where he looks close to that height (Denzel, Harnett, just to name a few).
Viper said on 8/Dec/08
"nobody laughs at my bruce and nas gaugings."

Trust me, millions do especially Nas since he even knows his own height of 5-8.

Glenn, I think your guaging is the most laughable of this site, and has been for a long time. Sly at 5-11 is just the tip of the iceberg

Sly is a quarter inch under that so no it isn't. You suggesting a 5-7 guy could be taller than 6-1 Tom Arnold in any kind of a footwear is what's ridiculous.

When has Bruce ever looked 5-10? And don't post some picture of him hunched over either.
glenn said on 8/Dec/08
great find runt.cause colin is 5-11 to my eyes whenever i see him.if im wrong he isnt a hair under 5-10.bruce looking 6-1 yet again.
glenn said on 8/Dec/08
nobody laughs at my bruce and nas gaugings.they doubt it,some do at least.some dont know what to think.they dont laugh.they scream in laughter at you.most people agree that if willis isnt the 6-1 i see and he claims on his official website,he sure can look it at times.can he look 5-11? sure.can i look 5-7 to 5-9.sure.its photos.they decieve.even mine do.can bruce ever look 5-10? sure,on extremely rare occasion in my opinion.i dont doubt you on that.can will smith look 6-1? sure.never lower for me.i shouldve buried you when i had the chance 3 years ago.you couldnt take me mouth.i remember it well.it was over carl weathers.you asked me to stop.haha.got under your skin good.a couple here backed me that nas was 5-9ish or 5-10 by what they saw in belly or other factors.
glenn said on 8/Dec/08
viper-lets take a poll and see what everyone has to say about you or me.im on the site for many reasons.not just my pics.your a punk kid with a fresh mouth.and no sense of height.i never said sly was 5-11. 5-10.75 morning for him at his luckiest.if i was laughed at for the 3 years ive been here i wouldve been gone long ago.

Glenn, I think your guaging is the most laughable of this site, and has been for a long time. Sly at 5-11 is just the tip of the iceberg.
anonymous said on 7/Dec/08
glenn, my main point was just simply not to single out viper as having incredulous beliefs regarding height. No i do not agree with any of the heights that he claims (will smith at 5`11 is laughable, as well clooney at 5`9, stallone 5`7, and vin diesel at a weak 5`10). But, when you go on arnolds page, you will find some guy named Ali who is trying to claim that arnold was around 5`10 at peak! Or, on maria sharapovas page, you will find some guy named miser who states that maria is 6`0 at best (has he ever seen her next to dwayne wade or josh duhammel?). Plus, Matt seems to believe (under what he calls undeniable evidence (which he has neglected to share with us)) that Matthew Perry is 5`10.5, and that schwimmer is max 6`0. Although i will not that viper has in the past also claimed that Perry could be as short as "5`9 and change". You will find blots on anyones record. It just seems capricious to mount an attack force against them, when almost everyone here has made some outragous claim at one point or another (although i will state for the record, i do find myself at odds with viper the most whether it be height, politics, or economics).
Viper said on 7/Dec/08

Rising, seems to me a lot of other people agree with me on those estimates If you look at those pages :)

Viper, very few give Sly 5'7", Vin under 5'10", Clooney 5'9" flat or Will Smith 5'11". The lowest most regular posts seem to give are Sly at 5'8", Vin at 5'10", Clooney at 5'9.5", Smith at 6'0.5". Of course there are exceptions to every rule though.

Most peg Sly at 5'8.5"/5'9" minimum, Vin at 5'11", Clooney at atleast 5'10" and Will Smith at atleast 6'1". Even those figures for Sly and Clooney are clearly too low though in my opinion.
glenn said on 7/Dec/08
i see people are lauging at viper already.dmeyer-you must sleep alot.mamun,unless im an idiot,has said a few times willis was 5-11.but he also said sly was 5-8.mamun is a great man.not sure of his gauging.

i will agree with rising force that those estimates are pretty much ridiculous. But then again, glenn (and i do have a lot of respect for you glenn) has come up with some interesting predictions of his own.
5`10.75 Sly Stallone
5`9 Neyo
6`4 RZA
6`1 Bruce Willis
6`2 Leonardo DiCaprio
You look at anyone here who are the celeb finders (glenn, mr. r, mamun, Frank2) and they all seem to have pretty interesting height sightings at times.
For instance...
Mr. R said that:
William Shatner looked 5`6
Stephen Weber 5`9
DMX 5`8
Noah Wyle 5`11

Its not really fair to single out viper here.
dicky curtis said on 7/Dec/08
stallone looking that much taller than willis. he must have issues.
RisingForce said on 7/Dec/08
I like when Viper states his opinions, they're good for me. They say laughter is very healthy and I believe me I laugh plenty at Viper's estimates.

Where should I start?

5-11 Will Smith
5-9 George Clooney
5-7 Sylvester Stallone
Under 5-10 Vin Diesel

Ridiculous...

Lets see, Downey owns Glenn in sneaker lifts and Willis owns Downey and Mamun is the same height as Glenn....Jon Lovitz: "Yeah, dats right". Throw off the footwear and he's 5' 11".

I think that Willis is a 5'11 guy, that is what he looks in movies. In four rooms, he wasnt much tall than 5'6 Tim Roth.
RisingForce said on 4/Dec/08
Exactly Zach, that's why he looks shorter than he is in comparison.

Brad, Bruce doesn't wear "customs". Find me one picture of him in "customs".

Downey looks like he's trying to reach for the stars because he's getting dwarfed as 5-8ish guys do by men over 6 feet.

Merry Christmas Brad, more pictures showing Bruce over 6 feet.

Bruce looks taller than Chris Tucker who is listed here at 6-0.75.

Butler standing straight would be a hair taller. Bruce is slouching too but not as much as Butler which is why he initially comes out taller until you factor in everything.

You think Willis wasn't packing major customs with Ben Affleck? Is snow white? He's 5' 11". Perry is 6' at most, subtract the inch.
Zach said on 3/Dec/08
Part of the 'problem' with Willis is that he really doesn't seem to care about footwear and height. Maybe someone can correct me, but from what I've seen he's always in regular, casual footwear, which at times puts him at a disadvantage against the likes of Arnold and Sly who often use elevator footwear (well Sly's got them permanently glued to his feet) to boost their height.
RisingForce said on 3/Dec/08
Bruce with loose posture dwarfing 5-8 minimum Robert Downey Jr. who couldn't be standing any straighter.

The same height or taller than 6 foot minimum Denzel Washington

Denzel claims 6-1, Frank2 insists 6-1 or 6-2, Glenn says 6-0 or 6-1 and Rob lists Denzel 6-0.25. It's safe enough to say he's 6 feet minimum.

I thought Bruce was 5-11 at first and then I thought 5-11.75 but now I'm pretty sure he's over 6 feet. When he looks shorter it's easy to explain, he often has poor posture and wears flat shoes.

With his posture and flat footwear he'd look under 5-11 atleast somewhat often in he was that height.
RisingForce said on 3/Dec/08
I don't know Zach, Bruce isn't standing very straight and Mamun is standing as straight as possible. I think that standing straight he'd easily be 6 foot here.
Hugh said on 3/Dec/08
But James if we give Bruce the full 6ft then we's have to upgrade Matt Perry to 6ft1! In friends Perry had about an inch on Willis.
Zach said on 3/Dec/08
He did look over 6ft in Armageddon next to Ben Affleck, certainly not 3 inches shorter. Having said that he doesnt look more than 5'11 next to Mamun here.
dicky curtis said on 3/Dec/08
i personaly would not say 6.1 but 6 ft sounds oke.
although i really agree with glenn that it is important to see the person in the flesh to make an more accurate judgement. i have never seen him am going by the pictures i see. that is how i come to approximatly 6 ft. maybe rob has him spot on. don't think he has a good posture either so that might be tricky. am just estimating. not claiming.
glenn said on 3/Dec/08
looks good to me risingforce.

Bruce and 5-8 Tom Cruise
Click Here

Bruce's posture is loose but even factoring in the camera advantage he has 4" on Tom

That was from the Collateral era where Tom Cruise wore lifts almost every single time he appeared with Jamie Foxx.

Here it appears he'd be the same height as 5-9 Jamie Foxx if he straightened up(suggesting that he's wearing lifts)
Click Here

Even bending over slightly he's not much shorter than Foxx, standing straight he'd surely be as tall or taller here.
Click Here

Those 2 pictures are from the same night

An example of Tom's regular footwear around that time

I thought Bruce looked 5'11.5"/5'11.75" with Costner not 5'11" flat.

I'm leaning more towards 6'1" than 5'11" flat but I think he's somewhere in the middle like 6'0" or 6'0.25".
Brad said on 2/Dec/08
Yes Glenn, I guess "that's that". Try 5' 11" flat. 6' 1" is laughable.
Hugh said on 2/Dec/08
That does sound reasonable James. Maybe he was close to 6ft1 in his prime and lost a 1cm.

thanks for that link risingforce.if he says it,and i see it.thats that.
RisingForce said on 1/Dec/08
James, I doubt he'd say his height in shoes. Nobody outside of the NBA thinks that's how you measure height.

Either he's lying about his height or he's 6'1" barefoot. I think he's about 6'0", maybe a hair over and he gives himself an inch.

How tall was/is Cybil Sheppard 5ft 8? because in heels she was taller then Willis. Notice in Moonlightling she had to wear flat shoes/barefoot. If she did wear heels there was lots of leaning against walls.

PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THAT IN THAT FAMOUS PIC OF ARNIE WILLS AND SLY WERE WILLS HAS FLIP FLOPS ARNIE SEEMS TO HAVE CONVERSE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ALL SERIES OF PICTURES THEY ARE 1.25 IN HEELS NOT 0.6 WISH IS ABOUT 1 IN MORE FOOTWEAR THEY ARENT CONVERSE

1 CM LOSS AT 53 IS NORMAL

thank you rob,hugh,james and risingforce.
RisingForce said on 1/Dec/08
I agree that he hasn't lost any height, I still think he's 6'0", 6'0.25" though.

Before factoring in posture or the camera angle I see about a 4", maybe a 3.5" difference between Mamun and Bruce. The question is who is getting a bigger advantage, Mamun from his posture or Bruce for being closer to the camera?
Mamun said on 1/Dec/08
Thanks for your kind insight RisingForce !

Not sure what that puts him at but Bruce is in normal dress shoes, pacino's shoes are somewhat suspicious but not sure lifts. Bruce standing straight has a minimum 6 inches on Pacino.

I saw him in Armageddon yesterday and looked 5'11.5-6'0 while he was walking. Was also I believe around 2 inches taller than Ben Affleck who is what 6'2?
dmeyer said on 30/Nov/08
bruce defenetly had lifts in armaggedon he was 1 in smaller than affleck in some scenes 2 in taller than 5 ft 11 issacs then he looks a bit shorter than 6 ft fichtner
glenn said on 30/Nov/08
i love all these sure gauges without actually meeting these people.matt damon is 5-10.justin long isnt 5-8.he is 5-9 to 5-10.bruce is 6ft min.
Complex said on 29/Nov/08
Bruce is more in the 5'10 range, 5'11 maximum, there was 2 inches between him and Justin Long & Justin Long is no taller than 5'8 in the evening. It seems when Bruce is compared to many legit 6'0 actors, he always looks a good 2 inches shorter, i'm not sure exactly where in the 5'10 bracket he falls, but I firmly believe now he fall somewhere in that, as far as peak height goes, Idk!

Bruce did look a solid 2 inches over Damon in Ocean's 12, but then again, we all know Damon is max 5'9 and alot of us, like me, believe he falls in the 5'8 range! If Bruce were 5'10 or a little over, it wouldn't take much of a lift to appear 6'0, but if he's 6'0, then he should constantly be looking 6'1+ which he doesn't ever look that tall. He's either 5'11 dead on or below in the 5'10 range and possibly 5'10 even. He's hard to pin down, but not over 5'11...
RisingForce said on 29/Nov/08
Mamun I doubt anyone will be upset with you for saying what you saw. I know I won't be, no reasonable person would be atleast. You have every right to say what he looked in person, your opinion is one of the more valuable ones on Bruce's height because you have a picture with him.

In the picture Willis looks a storng 5'11" and his slouching
CUK said on 27/Nov/08
He's too short against Cosner to be 6ft, and no taller than Bush. Significantly shorter than 6ft 2 Richard E Grant. Maximum 5ft 11 next to Mamun.
We can safely rule out 6ft barefoot.
Hugh said on 27/Nov/08
Looks every bit of 6ft in Mamuns picture. My money is on a strong 6ft peak.
dicky curtis said on 27/Nov/08
seems to have a little edge with bush there.
I could believe 6ft.
although with costner he look fairly a bit shorter then him

several pictures of john travolta with bruce willis show travolta taller than bruce by about an inch...and travolta is 6'0
Brad said on 26/Nov/08
Owen Wilson has never been 5' 11" in his life. He's barely taller than Ben Stiller in "Meet The Fockers" in sandals in the wedding scene. Frank2: "Wilson is 2-3 inches shorter than I am". Willis is 5' 11".
glenn said on 26/Nov/08
james-i would imagine.or i would look like a fool.
glenn said on 26/Nov/08
i appreciate the words anonymous,and im sorry if i came off strong,but please understand my side of it.schwimmer is 6-2 to me though.
Anonymous said on 25/Nov/08
he looks at least 2 inches taller than 5ft 10 billy bob thornton in armageddon. id say he was a solid 6 ft 0.5 back then but maybe 5ft 11.5 or 6ft now.
anonymous said on 25/Nov/08
glenn, it wasn't an attack against you. most evidence i have seen of willis puts him at 5`11.5. and you may be right in the end. But next to costner and schwimmer (both close to 6`1), he looks 2 inches shorter (with schwimmer, it looked closer to 2.5)
RisingForce said on 25/Nov/08
James, there were just as many for Steve McQueen who was also most likely at least 5'10".
RisingForce said on 25/Nov/08
Glenn you don't sound like a jerk. I don't blame you for being upset when some act like you don't have a better perspective than the rest of us. Of course you'd know better than us on celebrities you've met. Willis can look look 6-0 or 6-1 at times, Stallone can look 5-10.75 often even without lifts. Colin Farrell can look 5-11 too. So why people rule out them being that height is beyond me. If they can look that on screen and they look that in person then they probably are.

After work today I'll post a lot of pictures that show Willis can look over 6 foot.
anonymous said on 24/Nov/08
risingforce, im sorry, but the truth is, he rarely looks 6`0 (or 6`1 for that matter). So just because glenn saw him that way means we have to take his word for it?
