How tall was Calvin Coolidge

@Rising174cm Yes I withdraw my first comment a bit, its only 30 lbs underweight which isn't insanely bad. But if someone is 5'9" and 120 lbs and male, then they gotta do something about it because its not a suitable bodyweight. Gain muscle and start drinking homemade mass gainers to get to like 10-15% body fat.

Somewhere between 174.5-175cm

Nobody said it's typical - it's definitely underweight - but it's not practically impossible either. Obviously Coolidge was much heavier during his public life as Governor, VP and President.

@Rising174cm I said practically impossible not completely impossible. If someone is 5'9", like 8% body fat and no muscle mass then sure they can be 120lbs. But if you look at images of Calvin that likely has never been the case, he looks like an average 5'9" 150 lbs guy. Also you gotta keep in mind a woman whos 5'9" and 130 lbs is lean, so we should believe its typical for men to be 120 lbs at 5'9"?

@vastlybetter566 A very productive comment, most insightful comment I've seen in months.

Seeing Truman with an aged, hunched over Churchill, I think Truman was likely more 5'7.5" than 5'8".

It's nowhere near impossible, I've been as low as 124-125 in recent years and I'm way older than Coolidge was at that time. Christian Bale got himself down to 120 pounds at nearly 6' for The Machinist.

@yharnnamman

It is possible. I'm a guy, 5'9.5 and used to weigh 120 lbs.

Close enough to the solid 5’9”

@Yharnamman

Looks like we have a "medical expert" here.

Huh thought he was in the 180 cm range. Guess not. Also man lot's of US presidents. IN that case are you going to add Sir William Wallace any time soon? LOL.

An inch taller than Truman, Rob?

Yharnamman said on 25/Jan/21
"119 lbs" He must have been using a faulty scale, given it was the 19th or early 20th century. We've seen it was possible for Taylor Swift to be 5'9" and 120 lbs, given the right circumstances. However for a man thats practically impossible, because of more muscle mass, heavier organs and bones.

5'8 7/8 would be a perfect listing i'd think

5'10 Dude said on 25/Jan/21
This is a very interesting listing to me. I've seen President Coolidge listed as 5'10 on numerous sites, but considering the recorded measurement I'll have to say he was probably 5'9 or just a hair under. I imagine the 5'10 measurement came from him wearing dress shoes.

That's a rather skinny President! 😮

5ft9.

Thanks for adding him, Rob. I'm going to say 5'8.75" in office, though he could look at least this in photos and videos with the supposedly 5'11" Herbert Hoover: Click Here Click Here

On a side note, funny enough, if I could win money by guessing a peak Stallone's height as accurately as possible, I'd probably guess something like 5'8.9", if not 5'8.75".
