The difference between Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan is less than the difference between Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. If we assume the others are correctly listed, as I think we justifiably can, then the 5'11¾" listing for Bale makes a lot of sense. He can look a full six feet sometimes because he is slim and because ¼ inches are small and difficult to detect.

Overall 182cm seems like a good fit.
Raja said on 22/Jul/17
I think for Bale is 183cm for and without shoes in bale is height 180cm
highlysuspect said on 21/Jul/17
Full 6 foot. Doesn't stand up as straight or wear large heels like some more height conscious actors (cooper, pitt)
Slim 181 cm said on 17/Jul/17
I would be be very shocked if bale was a 5'11.6 guy, he doesn't strike me as the type of guy who is, and claims his morning height.
Slim 181 cm said on 15/Jul/17
More proof here as he holds his own against Bradley cooper who is standing closer to the camera if you look at Bradley's feet: Click Here
It's a real shame there's no decent snap of bale and ledger together, if so bale would have imo his 6' listing.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Jul/17
I think 6ft was better. Could look a bit above or below at times.
Slim 181 cm said on 14/Jul/17
6ft, the guy held his own against 6'2 listed Jackman in "the prestige". And would so with other 6'2-6'3 guys. While also being much taller than Russell Crowe in "3:10 to Yuma".
Canson said on 10/Jul/17
In Shaft he looks about what Rob has him listed next to Jackson. 5'11.5 worst case a best case of 6'0 like Mark said below. Was about a 5cm difference. I think Jackson was a peak height closer to 6'2" tho and probably nearer that in 1999 than his 6'1" listing.
even said on 8/Jul/17
almost 6 feet ( 182 cm )
Slim 182 cm said on 6/Jul/17
Rob, what made you believe bale was a weak 6 foot rather than a "medium" 6 foot? (Flat)?
Editor Rob
it's an overall guess, a best fit for him, I wouldn't have thought he was any lower though.
even said on 5/Jul/17
at least 182 cm
Mark(5'9.5 said on 5/Jul/17
In the Dark Knight Trilogy, he did look a real flat 6 footer.

I would suggest a peak 6'0" and 5'11.75" now.
Blaine said on 5/Jul/17
6 foot, but the 5'11 3/4" is fair.
Enjay said on 1/Jul/17
5'11" flat
Jordan87 said on 21/Jun/17
Hans Meiser,

You likely have narrow shoulders and a naturally small frame. 143lbs is Very Light for a 6'0 Adult Male ( Despite what those BullSh!t BMI Calculators say). Guys on the High School Football team that appeared to be very skinny ( JV) weighed around 150 at 160 around age 15 ( they got thrown around quite easily fyi).

You may feel comfortable but Christian Didn't and his comment makes sense to me. Again, You may be naturally small framed which is fine. Everybodies body I different.
Gian92 said on 21/Jun/17
143 pounds for 6 feet are few
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Jun/17
@ Hans Meiser - Hi! I agree it is far more comfortable, especially in this hot, sticky weather, to keep your weight on the low side. Your BMI is 19.5/6, so you are still healthy!
Hans Meiser said on 17/Jun/17
I'm the same height and weigh 143lbs. I feel very comfortable.
Sammy Derrick said on 13/Jun/17
Let it be known,I'm a massive BATMAN fanboy,however if you watch this video, Click Here Christian Bale was a pretty good choice aesthetically for the character to exist in the real world.I think in BATMAN BEGINS he was 6'0(183cm,today maybe a little shorter...
Tobias said on 12/Jun/17
I can't see how he could be 6' if Natalie Portman is really 5'3".

In this video, even if we assume those heels are a full 3", that only puts her at 5'6" and he's no more than 2-3 inches taller than her—regardless what might be going on in his shoes (maybe 4" taller than her if we're being really generous). I think he prob has proportionately long legs and looks like he's 6'. At any rate, one of the two needs to be corrected.

Canson said on 4/Jun/17
182cm 5'11.5/.75 so weak 6' fits here
Jack said on 3/Jun/17
Saw him several times in bel air having breakfast ! I'm very expert about height ! It's my pssion ! He's for sure 182 /182,5 cm range
Jordan87 said on 1/Jun/17
Average height and Slim,

That Crowe pic is a bad angle. No Doubt Bale is taller but come one man, don't post pictures with angles like that.
Correg said on 31/May/17
182cm-183cm is right.
Average height and slim said on 31/May/17
@crazy jap, Christian bale is clearly taller than 179 cm Russell Crowe,
Click Here
Sandy Cowell said on 30/May/17
I say 182cm - MIN! 😝
Crazy Jap said on 30/May/17
Yeah I think Bale IS 179cm MAX
Marky Mark said on 27/May/17
Yeah I think Bale is much shorter, in American Hustle Bradley Cooper who is almost 6'1 looked a lot taller than bale. I think flat 5'11 works for him or a low 5'11.
Jordan87 said on 26/May/17
He was about 3" Shorter than Brandon Routh who is at least 6'2 with Rob. Bale may not be 6'0 but I doubt he is much under it, and def not as low as 5'10". I'd put him at around 5'11 to 5'11-1/2 right now.
Animus said on 26/May/17
He is nowhere near 179cm. He could very well have been a full 183cm in his 20s.
Crazy Jap said on 13/May/17
Bale is 179cm
Editor Rob
I unlock the key to Arkum Asylum for just one minute... 😂
Sandy Cowell said on 13/May/17
5ft10? If he's 5ft10, he's the tallest 5ft10 that I've ever laid my eyes on! 😝 He gets 6ft1 from me to balance out the sh👀te!
Tom said on 11/May/17
@Brian If Bale is 5'10" then that would make Tom Hardy about as low as 5'7".
trumpslave said on 10/May/17
Now 182 cm
Peak 183 cm
Brian said on 4/May/17
5'10" even, just like Chris Evans.
RichardSpain said on 28/Apr/17
Classic guy 182 cm, no more no less.
RisingForce said on 18/Apr/17
It's premature to start talking about height loss. Bale is still a young guy in his early 40s. At most, we're probably talking a 1/4" and if he's even lost that, he was probably always near 182 range and simply dropped from 5'11.75" to 5'11.5". But with exceptions of wrestlers or major surgeries, height loss is really not an issue for most until they get into their 50s or sometimes 60s and when someone looks noticeably shorter, not a 1/4" tops, which is easy to account for with posture, regular differences in footwear, slight ground differences etc.
mister_lennon said on 15/Apr/17
More 182 peak and 181 today, i think.
berta said on 13/Apr/17
either 183 peak and 182 now ore 182 peak and 181 now. he can look 181-183 range in his career
Joe20 said on 12/Apr/17
Probaley 6foot at peak. Now five eleven and a half to three quarters.
trumpslave said on 9/Apr/17
Rob this downgrade is unfair maybe nowadays christian is 182 cm but at his peak he clearly was a strong 6ft-183/183.5 cm
DuhFuq said on 4/Apr/17
I think 6'0" makes sense for when Bale was younger but now a days closer to 5'11.5"

His weight shifts have without a doubt taken a hit on his body and spine and would contribute that to being the reason he's lost any height if any.
Johnny said on 2/Apr/17
No I have looked at a lot of pictures of Bale and Nolan and Bale can appear at most half an inch taller. 5ft 11.75 is the best fit for Bale.
Balrog said on 2/Apr/17
Rob at this height would you consider someone tall? Tallish? Or just above average?
Editor Rob
a tallish guy.
CS said on 1/Apr/17
Wow! That's pretty incredible CelebHeights is older than YouTube.
S.J.H said on 1/Apr/17
More i look at bale he doesn't look a tip taller than christopher nolan. 5'11.25 is generous
Ian said on 31/Mar/17
Gives off a tallish impression at times. I could see him being 6ft even or even a tad above that in the morning.
Ben said on 30/Mar/17
It's been a long time since 2004...

You were 28 then and now you're 40.

I was 4 years old in 2004 and now I'm about to turn 17...

It's scary how fast time goes...blink again and it'll 2050!
mister_lennon said on 28/Mar/17
I think he was 181-182 peak and now a little bit shorter. Maybe weak 181.
Danimal said on 27/Mar/17
Editor Rob: yes Lorne, from age 28 40, I've been here at the helm of celebheights...

I've been here on this site for the same time Rob (since December 2004). I was 27 and now I'm 39 (will be 40 this October).
Editor Rob
it's a helluva long time Danimal! The site launched start of October 2004 and comments turned on a couple of months later.

CelebHeights is 5 months older than Youtube 😲
berta said on 27/Mar/17
hm he actually looked taller 15 years back :O i wonder if he really was 183 at peak. ore maybe this peak and littel under this now.he could have lost about 0,6 cm
Dejavu said on 23/Mar/17
He actually looked 6'0 next to Russel Crowe a while ago.
Batman89 said on 22/Mar/17
Hey Rob , since you believe he was a solid 6 footer when he was younger would you give a peak height listing or is a quarter inch height loss so minute that it would not make a difference ?
Lorne??? said on 18/Mar/17
Oh Finally. Thank you, Rob, this is likely spot on "Peak" for him, a great actor, btw.

5'11.5 isn't impossible, but I agree w/ Rob, this guy takes it to extremes, and a half cm of early loss would not surprise me.

I've said for years just under 6ft afternoon, I am pleased at the Downgrade.

182 peak, he could dip just u see that now, to 181.5 maybe.

Btw, Happy belated new year, I hope things are going well, an I like the updates to the site. Keep it up Rob, and well to Jenny too

For many years you've operated an innovative and accurate website. Thank You.

Sincerely,

Lorne :)

James said on 13/Mar/17
In American Psycho he looks like a solid six footer due to the camera effect.

But in reality 1.82 is spot on:
Click Here
Giorgi said on 11/Mar/17
Rob, are you implying that he's lost height or he's always been this tall.
Editor Rob
I think there is a chance of a small fraction, like a few mm's.
Giorgi said on 11/Mar/17
Wow. This is a shocker ;))) I still believe he can be a bit taller. Although, hard to doubt Rob's listing. He must've really thought it through.
S.J.H said on 10/Mar/17
I just see this! Nice downgrade. Probably this range in the morning and came down as low as 181cm
AJ said on 4/Mar/17
Listing is fair.
James B said on 1/Mar/17
Maybe give him peak 6ft rob?
Mark(5'9.25") said on 1/Mar/17
Rob, is there a chance that a peak height for Bale would happen? He did look a full 6'0" in the Dark Knight Trilogy.
Sandy Cowell said on 25/Feb/17
@ Connor - Ooh! Batman isn't exactly my forte, but I do like Christian in plenty of other stuff! Now if I met him, I very much doubt if I'd notice a quarter inch difference!
He strikes me as a good, sound, genuine guy and I like him!
RisingForce said on 25/Feb/17
I agree, I've long thought 182 cm or 5'11.5"-5'11.75".
Csimpson 6ft said on 25/Feb/17
I disagree Sandy with Morgan Freeman in Batman Begins and the Dark Knight Christian definitely looked under 6ft, 5ft 11.75 does seem about right.
Sandy Cowell said on 24/Feb/17
I disagree with this downgrade! 6ft was quite low enough - I thought he topped it actually! 😤👎
grizz said on 24/Feb/17
I agree with you guys. He was a 6footer in Batman Begins, but he lost a fraction of height. Maybe a peak and current height list wouldn't be a bad idea?
mister_lennon said on 24/Feb/17
That heigth is much better. He looks it more than a full 6.
Balrog said on 23/Feb/17
Perfect listing and I completely agree with Rob, I think Bale might have been a bit taller 10-15 years ago.
spainmen192cm said on 23/Feb/17
Rob, maybe as you said he has lost a tiny fraction since his 20s and 30s since during his career his body has experiment drastical physical changes that maybe has caused a bit of damage
Judd said on 23/Feb/17
FINALLY!!!!!!great listing!!!!
Mark(5'9.25") said on 23/Feb/17
Did look an easy 6 footer in Batman Begins until later years.
En said on 22/Feb/17
The downgrade is a shock
Jordan87 said on 22/Feb/17
SammyDerrick,

Yes that's a really reliable Source there buddy.
Csimpson 6ft said on 22/Feb/17
Yeah he does look 5ft 11.75, when did you downgrade him Rob?
Editor Rob
overall it seems about right for him from all I've seen over the years.
berta said on 17/Feb/17
rob do you really think that he is only 1 cm shorter than guys like chris pine ore henry cavill? i think he is182 guy just by looking at him his hole body screams 182. of course he rounds up in his claim. the average guess on him is perfect listing.
Editor Rob
berta, a 5ft 11.75 listing for Bale may well be the best guess based on all we've seen of him over the years...it would fit quite well...

but he may have been taller by a tiny amount 10-15 years ago, I do think the filming of American Hustle did cause him some issue with his back, not as bad as the director made it out to be though.
Brandon said on 14/Feb/17
I think he looks a lot more 5'11.5 after seeing him next to Gosling and a few other actors.
datguy said on 11/Feb/17
How on earth hasn't this guy been downgraded already? he looks .5-.75 inches shorter than ryan gosling who's 6'.25 AND you just downgraded 50 cent who looks the same height as christian bale and in some pictures even seems to edge him out. on top of that the average guess from 95 votes is 5ft 11.75 which is pretty much what he looks like which is a weak 6 footer.
Gman said on 9/Feb/17
Since you downgraded 50 cent , I think Christian should probably need one too , seeing that they look the same height .
John Connor said on 5/Feb/17
Rob how Tall do you think Christian Bale was when he was 16?
Editor Rob
I couldn't give any estimate on that.
Sammy Derrick said on 4/Feb/17
It's common knowledge now to everyone in Hollywood and every BATMAN fan that Tom Hardy is 5'9 and that Christian Bale is 6'0!!!
Proof Click Here 1:00-1;04 'Bale's six foot Batman'.
Christian Bale never seems like an insecure guy so I'll go with 6'0(183cm)
axel said on 31/Jan/17
1.82-1.83 no less than that
HonestSlovene said on 26/Jan/17
Yeah he hardly looks a full 6'0"/183 cm but 5'11.5"/180 cm is slightly too low. 5'11.5"/181-182 cm would be the best fit for him IMHO.
berta said on 23/Jan/17
dont think he is just 1 cm shorter than bradley cooper, channing tatum and the guy from superman. and chris pine looks 3 cm taller to me. classic 182 guy. and the other i named is beeetween 183,4 -185
Kaneff said on 21/Jan/17
There is no way this guy is a full 6ft. It's impossible.
Peter 179cm said on 20/Jan/17
@ Heightcritique He does look a little taller than Arnie in fact,maybe 1cm and i would say they had similar footwear there as Arnie's sneakers and his sandals look close.Still i wouldn't argue over 181cm for Bale with 180 a low-guess.
Rent said on 16/Jan/17
He's tall, but he's not exactly at 6'foot. He's clearly shorter than Jackman and Freeman by a full couple of inches, to my opinion he's more 182cm than 183. And he's just slightly taller than Eckhart in The Dark Knight. But who care 182 or 183 cm, 1cm that doesn't deserve that we quarrel! ^^
Noah said on 15/Jan/17
Rob, can you please downgrade him to 5'11.75? I know for a fact he is not a full six footer, especially when he stood next to Donald Trump.
berta said on 10/Jan/17
182 guy. samuel l jackosn made him look short at 188
grizz said on 6/Jan/17
@Heightcritique, he actually met Arnold? That's awesome!
Heightcritique said on 6/Jan/17
6'00 for Bale is spot on. He seems to be about the same height on flip flops to Arnold who fluctuates between 6'1" and 6'00 depending on his posture. Click Here
Csimpson 6ft said on 31/Dec/16
Rob 5ft 11.75 is right between 182.2 and 182.3cm right?
Editor Rob
Connor, yes, literally right in the middle.
Csimpson 6ft said on 30/Dec/16
@Rob hmm well im not sure on Bale either really tbh, yeah he can look 5ft 11.75 at times but other times he can look the full 6ft mark aswell, you thinking of listing him at 5ft 11.75?
Csimpson 6ft said on 29/Dec/16
He looks 6ft with Morgan Freeman in this photo Click Here

Rob what do you think?
Editor Rob
Connor, he can look near 6ft a fair amount, but 5ft 11.75 for Bale is a believable guess.
Jordan87 said on 29/Dec/16
Waqor,

Trump is standing much straighter then Christian Bale in that picture, so I think in reality there is only 1"-1.5" between them.
waqor said on 27/Dec/16
Here is an interesting photo of Christian Bale with 6'0.5 listed Donald Trump. It really is down to how tall Trump is but Bale does look in the 5'11 range there? What do you say Rob?

Click Here
Editor Rob
3-4 years ago I think Trump could have still been a bit taller. In the late 60's, especially last 2 years I believe he's lost a chunk of height.
Sandy Cowell said on 27/Dec/16
@ James B - Well, James, I am very young and impressionable!👼
James B said on 26/Dec/16
Sandy- In American pyscho I don't think he would be playing himself since it's just a film lol
Sandy Cowell said on 23/Dec/16
@ James B - Hello James! I'm sorry about the delay in answering your question, but I've only this minute found it!
It is a really good question actually because I thought initially that he was a bit of a d***head when I saw him in 'American Psycho', but then when I saw him interviewed on the 'extras' about the role, I found him instantly likeable!
He doesn't take himself too seriously either, which I find attractive.
The answer to your question has to be a "yes" as he has grown on me, but I didn't think so at first. So many attributes have to be taken into consideration when coming to such a decision. I don't reckon much on what is deemed conventionally good-looking unless the fellow has other, far more important qualities to back his looks up!
So have a very merry Christmas James and a happy new year too!
Tom said on 11/Dec/16
@James 50 cent has higher eyebrows than Bale though. Plus Bale is leaning to his right a little, otherwise they seem to be about the same height.
Tiago said on 4/Dec/16
He is 1,82 CM
GG said on 3/Dec/16
He is 5ft 11.75in-6ft.
James B said on 2/Dec/16

Sandy Cowell said on 30/Nov/16
@ Arch - Hi! LOL? Well, I'm always delighted to be of service in the laughter department!!!
Arch Stanton said on 30/Nov/16
LOL. Well, he's a much better actor than Hugh Jackman anyway Sandy!
James said on 26/Nov/16
Rob, Bale is one of my favorite actors of all time, a true legend. But don't you agree he is 1.82 m compared with 50 cent?
Click Here

Look at 50's eyebrows. Higher than Bale. I think Bale could be listed as 5' 11.75". It's also what most people think according to the poll.
Editor Rob
yes James, Bale can look 182cm a proportion of the time.
Simon said on 20/Nov/16
Rob, do you think he is the same height and build as Val Kilmer? He wore his batsuit from Batman Forever.
Editor Rob
Simon, 11.75 is always an arguable value for Bale.
Judd said on 12/Nov/16
Rob, you think he might lost 3cms in the last 5-10 years? Because looking at this picture if Bale is really 183cms then Trump was probably 187cms...
Editor Rob
I don't know how great Bale is standing.
Judd said on 11/Nov/16
Rob, grizz is right! how can be possible there's just 0,5" among Trump and Bale? Click Here
Actually in the picture Bale seems 1,5-2" shorter than Trump...maybe Trump had an "hairs advantage" but the posture of him didn't seems much better than Bale's one...what do you think about? Maybe he needs a downgrade to 182cms?
Editor Rob
Judd, it's over 3 years ago, I think Trump was taller back then, but in the last 2-3 years has begun to lose a bit more height
S.J.H said on 11/Nov/16
182cm for bale and 182.5-183cm chris evans
S.J.H said on 9/Nov/16
i think there is always possible either bradley cooper is 6'0.75 or christian bale is only 5'11.5 because there is not under 2cm between them
grizz said on 9/Nov/16
He looks 2 inches shorter than now 6'0.5 Trump (just google Christian Bale Trump) Sure, with bad posture, but I doubt that there would be only half an inch difference between 'em had he stood straight.
Marcus said on 4/Nov/16
Nah I would give Bale 5'11 and a half because he seems one inch shorter with shoes he looks 6ft.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Oct/16
I'd have said Bale would edge Evans
gian92 said on 28/Oct/16
Truth you are right ! Bale a lot of time doesn't care his posture like Cavill or Cooper !
Billy said on 25/Oct/16
Rob, who do you think would be taller if they stood under the stadiometer, Chris Evans or Bale?
Editor Rob
possibly Evans a couple of mm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/16
When he first got cast as Batman he was getting called 6ft2 a lot
Aza said on 21/Oct/16
He is just shy of 6'0 in the evening height. Can pass for it most of the time though.
Tiago said on 18/Oct/16
He looks a typical 5 ft 11 guy
Truth said on 18/Oct/16
He's 6 foot. He's just doesn't stand like he has a stick up his butt 24/7 like cavill, Cooper, and Pitt.
Tiago said on 9/Oct/16
I think he have 1,81 M or 1,82 max. He is equal Christofer Nolan
josh jeffords said on 9/Oct/16
Bale often looks 6 ft but I've seen 6 3 and he claims to weigh 170...not possible with his build.
He then claims to have gained 99 pounds to make his beefy batman likely 215-225.
Then he gets fat back to 6 3 and 228 must be measuring his hair in shoes..
Kinda funny these actors either never get measured or they just like to make non sense up.
Average day look 6ft 200lbs 511 190 if he is the shortest 6 3 guy 215
I have a friend similar build when fit he weighed 200 at 511 3/4
Jordan87 said on 30/Sep/16
Not short by any means but is closer to 5'11 than to 6'0. He was 3" Shorter than Brandon Routh who is 6'2 Exactly on this site. Great Actor however.
Derek said on 29/Sep/16
Looks legit 6'0.
berta said on 20/Sep/16
183 is the absolute tallest he is probably 182
N said on 19/Sep/16
Met him in 2004. He's slightly taller than me at 5'11" but shorter than my 6'0" brother.
S.J.H said on 17/Sep/16
Bale is 5'11.5 impossible to be 6'0 while put some comparison with 6'2.5 brandon routh
Dejavu said on 17/Sep/16
I think he could be 5'11.5 today. He looked 6'0 in his prime though.
Benefits said on 16/Sep/16
I am sticking with 181cm since I am at 179cm and have the same perspective to others as he does.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Sep/16
I think generally he's looked a 6fter. Sometimes a bit less and other times a bit over.
James B said on 1/Sep/16
Rob I don't think Bale looked a legit 6ft compared to Hugh Jackman 10 years back.
Benefits said on 8/Aug/16
I agree, 181cm sounds about right i guess. His presence is that of a 6 footer but when he's around other tall guys he looks a bit shorter
Peter 179cm said on 5/Aug/16
Next to 5'1-5'2 range Witherspoon ( in big heels ofcourse so she's probably closer to 165 in them,if not 166-167cm range ) Bale looks a good 15cm taller...If he's 183 flat,that's only straight out of bed...My best guess is 181cm,just a fraction north of 5'11-at worst maybe even a flat 5'11 (180cm) after a very active day.
Johnny said on 5/Aug/16
Here Bale is described as 6'3"!!!!! Click Here
truth said on 26/Jul/16
I think he is more 5'11.75 or 5'11.5 minimum rather than a full 6'0 but a flat 5'11 is definitely too low for him and only insecure people would say he is that height.
Rexxy said on 20/Jul/16
A strong 5'11.
Even bulked up he does not look like a 6 footer.
That said though, maybe his long skinny as face throws it off.

signed
- 5'11''
Johnny said on 18/Jun/16
@Rob do you think Bale can be 5'11.5"(182 cm)....because he doesn't look like a decent six footer...a little under the 6'0" mark maybe?
dan said on 10/Jun/16
ok James agree to disagree then. but what I want to no is how do you spot a 1/4 inch of height difference?, LOL you know bale at 5'11.5 and 50 cent at 6'0 is more realistic, at least at 1/2 of a inch you could argue that's noticable......... but not at 1/4 inch c'mon
James said on 10/Jun/16
"James please go. 50 cent is a legit six-foot". Nope.
Chris Brown is a legit six-foot. Chris Brown is a tall guy. 50 cent is not tall. 6 ft 1 is ridiculous for Brown. He is definitely not as tall as Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale.

Chris Brown: 6 ft 0 in
50 cent: 5 ft 11.75 in maximum
Christian Bale: 5 ft 11.5 in
berta said on 9/Jun/16
this guy gives more a 182 inpression. 183 is the absolute tallest i can se him and 181 the absolute shortest and then i mena he measure 181,5 in the evening. But probably is 182 guy evening
dan said on 7/Jun/16
James please go. 50 cent is a legit six-foot, Mr r met him on multiple occasions and said so, he's a tall dude. bale on the other hand does look mayby shorter so 5'11.5 may be more apt, Chris brown is 6'1 though he just has shi**y posture, everyone on browns page believes he is at least the listed 6'0 so thats how you know when someone needs a upgrade LOL

Christian Bale is 5 ft 11.25 in (181 cm), he is even shorter than 50 cent:

@Rob did Bale really lose 3 inches during the filming of American Hustle? So he is 5'9" now? I am confused..
Editor Rob
nah, at times he put on poorer posture for the character I think, but even so I didn't think he looked that short, he and bradley had one scene with Saïd Taghmaoui on flat ground and they both towered over him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/May/16
@Allie: Not short, maybe 5ft5-6?

Sam said on 4/May/16
I don't think a 3-4 cm loss is exceptional and Bale tends to put his body through strain in his method acting. Is it Rob?
Editor Rob
he certainly has probably had a few injuries to his body and putting it through extreme weight loss would have been interesting to see whether he measured lower during the filming of The machinist.
Peter 179cm said on 2/May/16
LOL Sam what is he,the Incredible Shrinking Man??! You could argue he's 183-184 out of bed and 181-182cm throughout the day but dropping down 4cm just like that is unlikely at his height...
Sam said on 1/May/16
In the evening, 5'11" is possible for him, maybe 5'11.75" average at mid-day, 6'0.5" morning.

Allie said on 11/Apr/16
How tall do you guys think Bale's mother was?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Apr/16
@James B: It's probably more to do with the fact that his dad used him as a cash cow like a lot of showbiz parents. Heard some shocking things about him.


That's the only known photo of them together. There's other pictures of his dad and it's evident that he was very tall range. I think 6ft4 range.
James B said on 7/Apr/16
Actually I think bales dad could even look as low as 6'2.5 range
James B said on 6/Apr/16
Allen- batman and robin I only like saw once as a kid and was completely indifferent towards to it like it has little memory in my childhood movie viewing. Batman forever I think could be my favourite film of all time despite what everyone else thinks about.


Oh yeah rampage I just looked at the photo of bale and his dad again and he looks nowhere near 6'5 more like 6'3 and Clearly bale is losing a bit more height with his posture too.


Do you agree rob that bales dad does not look over 6'3?
Editor Rob
6ft 3 maybe
James B said on 6/Apr/16
Yeah rampage maybe that's why bale is always angry cause he never grew as his dad

His dad was at least 6ft4 and possibly near 6ft5 Click Here
Dejavu said on 5/Apr/16
I remembered that he had solid 2 inches on Russell Crowe. He made him look 5'10. Today he looked an inch shorter than Bradley Cooper.
Sam said on 4/Apr/16
Yeah, true he was barefoot.
Allen said on 1/Apr/16
I agree with you James B
As a matter of fact I can't take offence at Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton as Batman cause they were the two Batmans of my childhood memories though Clooney ruined it all. haha. But to be truthful Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were two of the worst Batman products ever. And Nolan's and Burton's Batman movies were the best so far. But afterall Bale was the best Batman no doubt about it.
He's 6'0 and Tom Hardy proved us that even a 5'8 guy could be Bane. so a 5'5 guy could be Batman. haha.
MD said on 29/Mar/16
@Sam,

Well, that, and isn't he barefoot through most of the movie from my understanding?
James B said on 28/Mar/16
5'11.75 makes more sense. I personally find it not easy to picture bale at a full 6ft like I found it hard to imaginr clint Eastwood at a proper 6'4.
Sam said on 25/Mar/16
The Big Short is not a good one to compare Bale's height, he barely stands next to any one and actors of unknown stature when he does. Perhaps his oversized baggy shirts suggest a smaller guy.
Abruzzi said on 21/Mar/16
He looked really short to me in "The Big Short" i googled his height and i was surprised, i really thought he's 1.75m max O.o strange stuff
Dejavu said on 4/Mar/16
I think its fair to say that Christian Bale has lost height. He looked a strong 6'0 a while ago.
Sam said on 29/Feb/16
Gosling looks a solid half inch taller than Bale but Gosling often looks only six feet himself rather than the full 6'0.5". Gosling wasn't more than an inch taller looking than Russell Crowe at the Oscars last night IMO, Bale actually seemed relatively taller than Crowe at the 3:10 to Yuma premiere than Gosling looked in that instance!
TJE said on 24/Feb/16
Rob, if Gosling's only a strong 6'0, then surely Bale is under this. I remember someone posted pics of the two and there was 1-2 cm between them.
Editor Rob
Bale at 5ft 11.75 has never been ruled out.
ElDuderino said on 19/Feb/16
If he wakes up at 184cm then 183cm is fair
King said on 16/Feb/16
Like every other person here said, bale is a strong high end 5-11 (either 11.5/11.75) or a weak barely reaching 6 foot. I agree he never seems solid 183 cm ever. My 2 cents
NBAer said on 9/Feb/16
I think he could measure 183 on a good day,and closer to 181-182 evening time,maybe 181.5 cm,so 5'11.5 is fair for Bale,although he actually looked barely 180 to me in TDKR...
appe 6ft0.5 said on 9/Feb/16
182cm fits him more. He wakes up between 183cm and 184cm to me.

amaterasu said on 28/Jan/16
I'm not sure about that 6'0" claim, to me he doesn't look this tall. A lot of men starting from 5'10" will claim 6 foot and will be convinced they are really that tall. I'm not saying Bale is necessarily 5'10", but yet somehow standing at 181cm Nolan is looking as tall if not taller on almost every single picture, and I doubt Nolan is the guy who wears lifts.
Dejavu said on 27/Jan/16
I think he has gained weight which made him appear stockier and shorter.
Dejavu said on 18/Jan/16
Yes full 6'0 when he was younger. He had 2 inches on Russell Crowe. He made Russell Crowe look 5'10. He is looking nearer 182cm today.
James B said on 1/Jan/16
I think bale was the full 6ft when he was younger but with all his weight fluctuations is now 5'11.75

Yeah I thought in batman begins there looked more than just 2 inches between freeman and bale but then Morgan did have hair advantage.
grizz said on 28/Dec/15
He does seem more in the 182cm range.
Watching TDKR for a third time and there was a scene with Freeman where Bale looked way too short to pass for a legit 6 footer. There was a bit over 2 inches of differenccme between them. Usually the difference between a 6' and 6'2 guy isn't all too drastic, but the only though I had when looking at these 2 was :"Wow,Bale looks so short next to Freeman."
5'11.75 would be more accurate, sometimes he even gives a 5'11.5 impression.
gp said on 26/Dec/15
To all Batman fans please know that Batman's 6'2 height was not given by Bob Kane or Bill Fingers.It was given by Filmation enterprises right after the live Batman series ended in 1968 and taken from Adam West's size who was the only popular Batman at the time. DC got them from Filmation.
Had Keaton been around in the 60's and chosen for the role, Batman would've had his height specs. Take Hugh Jackman for example ,he played Wolverine and he is 6'2 did you all know that Wolverine's real specs given by creator Stan Lee are 5'3" .No one seemed to complain?
Dejavu said on 5/Dec/15
I think Bale is more in the 182cm range.
Sam said on 3/Dec/15
Bale I think looks near 0.75 inches shorter than Ryan Gosling. To be honest a six foot flat measurement seems quite possible for Gosling and 6'0.5" is quite generous for a mid-day measurement for him IMO, which would make Bale only a strong 5'11". Sometimes Bale convinces a six footer but yeah I'm becoming a convert to the idea that he's more 5'11.75" tops in the afternoon. Bale has crappy posture sometimes, quite the opposite of their preeminently height-conscious co-star Brad Pitt.

Jame said on 29/Oct/15
He look too tall to me like 6 ft 2 inc!
James B said on 5/Oct/15
Ha ha I am ranting a bit but will not make this too long.

Whenever I watch batman begins it does strike as being a bit overdone and overacted, between batman and robin and batman begins there was obviously a lot of talk about the next film. i do get the impression that nolan and the film cast did try there very best to make batman begins seem as good as possible which is evident in the acting (especially Michael Caine as Alfred) since they were under a lot of pressure to resurrect the dark night successfully after 1997s train wreck.

Nolan's batman's movies are not perfect but the comic book cult fans will always hype them up.
James B said on 5/Oct/15
MD - i kind of disagree Val Kilmer did pull of quite well showing us Bruce Wayne's dark/ totured side, especially if you look at scenes in batman forever at his parents funeral. Sure Kilmer was handsome but obviously looked nothing like Bruce Wayne.

In my opinion keaton and kilmer were belivable as the dark knight, the way clooney acted as batman was an insult to fans even though he was dark and classically handsome (not that tall though) like Bruce Wayne is. Ironic he looked perfect in the part with his square jaw, but he never seemed to wipe that smug look of his face throughout that entire laughing stock of a movie. He didn't show any emotion as batman at all.

I am a little indifferent to christian bales batman/bruce wayne and not nesscessarly just because he put on that over the top voice when he whenever he wore the bat-suit. He was passable as Wayne, but like someone said on the Keaton page his enemies stole the spotlight from him. Even though it should not matter he does have a reputation in real life as being a bit of an aggressive pycho which is evident in the memorable incident where he assaulted his mother and sister at a London hotel at the UK premier of dark knight. Bales film carrier since batman has never really taken of. I think Keaton personally was a grittier more believable batman.

I could of course just have a bias towards Keaton and even val kilmer since there batman films were a bit part of my childhood film memories.

On a final note Ben affeck is the first batman actor to have the build and height of Bruce Wayne. We will have to wait and see how we'll he does when his portrayal of the batman hits the big screen.
MD said on 30/Sep/15
Since we're talking about the actors to play the character, Only Keaton and Bale were believable to me, the first because Keaton was the first to play him in a feature-length film (and nostalgia since it came out when I was a kid) and Bale because he gave the first dark and really complicated personality of the character. The other actors and films were the low-point of the franchize almost to the point of being offensive for any real fan as far as I'm concerned. lol
grizz said on 29/Sep/15
@James B, Keaton was a better Batman, yes, but not a better Bruce Wayne, though. Bale is my favorite in that role.
James B said on 28/Sep/15
Well Rob kilmer's batman (batman forever) is a childhood gem of mine (I was 5 when it was released) so maybe I have a bias towards it. I would say its my fave childhood action movie and it is fun to watch today today for laughs because obviously you can't take a campy film like that too seriously. Yeah I agree clooney's bat film was a train wreck lol. A real insult to bat fans and movie goers alike. Obviously as we'll burtons bat films were big part of my film buff childhood.

I thought batman begins was a a decent movie and easy to follow but seemed a bit overdone but possibly given too much praise by fans. Dark knight and Dark knight rises I feel you have to be a fan of and read a lot of batman comics to really appreciate, because I couldn't really follow the plot very well of those 2 movies.
James B said on 26/Sep/15
Rob am i the only one who thinks Keaton was a better batman than christian bale?
Editor Rob
I rewatched all batman films in last year and to be fair, I think each had their own characteristics, I wouldn't say I had a favourite....I enjoyed a most of Nolan's Batman and in hindsight, I didn't think Burton's Batman films were as good.

I haven't watched Clooney/Kilmer for a long while and probably wouldn't watch them again.
Sam said on 24/Sep/15
To me C does sound like the most feasible height for Bale. On his weight, I think at times he could look 20 or so pounds lighter in The Dark Knight Rises than Batman Begins. In a more recent film like Out of the Furnace that I just recently watched where he's just supposed to look average (not jacked, a bit tubby or skeletal), I notice he looks a little more gaunt and lined than you'd expect for a guy just a bit under 40. I'd say all the weight fluctuations may have taken a tad of a toll.
Judd ISR said on 18/Sep/15
[Editor Rob: B might be possible, I wouldn't go as low as D.]

A) 0%

MD said on 15/Sep/15
I'd also say to always take weight transformation claims for Hollywood movies with a grain of salt, particularly the muscle transformation when you hear "So-and-so packed on x pounds of muscle in x months!" Even when it done unnaturally the claims are usually bogus, and done little more than to get an actor/actress publicity.

I'm not speaking specifically on Bale, who's changes are probably more obviously true than most. But the claims (particularly for the upper weight limit transformation) should be taken with skepticism. I mean, I think Tom Hardy claimed getting up to 205lbs for the same movie. While he definitely added weight, that claim doesn't look above board, especially when compared up to Bale quite a few inches taller who claimed approximately the same weight.

5ft10guy said on 12/Sep/15
I think he's 5ft11 . He doesnt look tall to me sorry. I've watched all his dark knight movies and seen a bunch of pictures to say he's 5ft11-5ft11.5 same height as Neil Patrick Harris guys like that.He's also consistantly towered by Morgan Freeman in that and Freeman is old too so Morgan cant be 6ft2.Then I saw a scene where bale is in his batman suit and boots ,while walking past Gary Oldman and he still didnt tower this guy.If Gary Oldman is 5ft8.5 and Bale couldnt tower him then I'd say 5ft11 for him.
Balrog said on 12/Sep/15
I don't think he was that heavy, he said on a in interview he got up to 200 pounds for Batman after starving himself for the machinist.
Sam said on 11/Sep/15
I read he bulked up to 100 kg/220 lb during post-Machinist weight gain but looked too chunky so leaned down to appx 200 lb, I would say he looked to not pack on as much in the Dark Knight sequels, more like 185 lb.
184.3cm (Night) said on 11/Sep/15
@Grizz

Because he stopped training and let the muscle go to flab. If you bulk yourself up you have to be very careful if you get ill/injured as you can end up fat. Plus 90 kilo is pretty heavy for 6 foot. Im 93 myself and when i get to 96 kilo even i feel it. 100 kilo is bodybuilder weight, Bale isnt that.
Appe 6ft 0.5 said on 9/Sep/15
I would say between 90 and 95kg in Batman, I would rule out 100kg for him. Remember he is a weak 6ft

For anyone even with passing knowledge of body transformations or just common sense, you know that two people of the same weight (and even the same height) can look drastically different depending upon whether they are muscular or fat, and even two people of the same weight and build can look different depending on where their weight is stored. It's really not that difficult to understand. We all have examples of this in our everyday lives with people we know.

He is in the 5'11.5-6'0" range, whereas someone like Leonardo DiCaprio is in the 5'11-5'11.5" range. I think it's fair for him to claim 6'0", even if he is a little shy of that mark. If I had to give him a non-fractional height, which is how I like to look at it, it would be 6'0".
Balrog said on 2/Aug/15
Don't think he's 6 feet tall all day long, but I wouldn't put him under a strong 5'11" range. Minimum 181cm but he's likely 182cm, weak 6footer

He doesn't come across to me as a true 183 cm man. He looks closer to 181-182 cm. I think if Benedict Cumberbatch is really 5 ft 11.7 in (in my opinion Cumberbatch is a true 6 foot man), then I think Bale needs to be downgraded to 5 ft 11.5 in (181 cm).

Yeah, I heard that originally, Leo was going to star in American Psycho but turned it down to star in The Beach (dumb move imo) and Bale was going to cast as Jack in Titanic but was turned down because Cameron didn't want 2 british actors portraying American characters

American Psycho with DiCaprio in the lead would be horrible as would Bale in Titanic. I'm sure they'll get together eventually. I thought The Beach was quite good. Great OST!

Sam said on 18/Jun/15
Reportedly there has been a history of tension between Bale and DiCaprio over competition for parts, with Bale rumored to be vindictive towards DiCaprio in the 90s over DiCaprio's success. IMO Bale is the superior actor despite being a difficult sort, DiCaprio's anchored several good-to-great films but at times he smacks of effort in more dramatic scenes. DiCaprio's produced a few films starring Bale now so anything's possible.

He might measure 5ft 11.75 after a hard day at the gym. I would be very surprised if he measured lower than that.

mmmm i am not sure...i think after an hard day he can be closer to 5'11.5" and averagely is close to 5'11.75" so in the 182,0 cms range...someone who's at his/her absolute lowest 5'11.75" (so 182,245 cms) is assumed to be 182,5-6 cms on average low and maybe close to 6' on a good day and this make him a "weak 6'"...i think he's more a 182 cms guy than a 183 cms one...

Rob, sorry if i insist, but how do you explain how a 5'1.5 girl looks so tall next to a guy who's supposed to be 6'? She really does look near 5'7 if he's 6 foot or near that mark! You think she's wearing almost 6 inches heels (which actually give near that amount)?
[Editor Rob: he can look 5ft 11 with her I think...whether he really is that I doubt, but 5ft 11.5 isn't something I would be shocked about.]


If that's the case, list him 182cm. He really never looks a big 6 footer... A David Duchovny would be noticeably taller.
Andrea said on 20/May/15
Well, if she's wearing 3.25 inches, she's about 5'4.75 (basing on your listing), so she appears like a 5'3.75 woman... Are you telling me this is an example of a 5'11 man vs a 5'3.75 woman? Then he must have what? A nearly 11 inches head? Come on :)

actually rob, i don't think he's a flat 6' guy.
i admit that he seems taller than a flat 5'11 but i am sure that if he will meet an honest 6' guy, like Duchovny, he would be a tad shorter...
i can't buy that between him and Cooper there is just 0,5"...maybe not a full 1" but for sure 0,75".

i think 5'11.75" would be much better, because he's a "182 cms guy".
i think it's likelier that he was measured (if measured) just a bit under 6' and then he round up to 6'.
a lot of celebs listed here have made it (Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Timberlake, Val Kilmer...)

You mean 5'11 in shoes? I've managed to see her footwear from the event and her heels really seem to give 3.5 inches "at best" (possibly more 3)... Now, Bale looks what? 6 inches taller at best? That really would make him max 5'10, if you see the picture above!
Editor Rob
I would have said they were roughly 3.25 of height and him 1 inch...I think he can appear like a 5ft 11 guy, but I don't know if he is dropping more height.
Andrea said on 16/May/15
Rob, sorry if i insist, but how do you explain how a 5'1.5 girl looks so tall next to a guy who's supposed to be 6'? She really does look near 5'7 if he's 6 foot or near that mark! You think she's wearing almost 6 inches heels (which actually give near that amount)?
Editor Rob
he can look 5ft 11 with her I think...whether he really is that I doubt, but 5ft 11.5 isn't something I would be shocked about.

Looks 2 inches taller than harrelson. so about 5'11.5.
Andrea said on 9/May/15
William Ficthner didn't look over 5'11.5 with Michael Rapaport in PB... His 6'0.5 claim probably comes from a shoe measurement, so i don't think he's over 5'11.5... Again, how can a 5'1.5 girl look so tall next to a 6' man? Is she standing on a box?

Is Nolan a lift wearer?
Lorne??? said on 8/May/15
As Iv've said, he just under 6 feet, and he should be listed 5ft11.75.

Honestly, I'd go 5'11.5 before I went 6ft.
Judd said on 8/May/15
I agree with Andrea, rob...5'11.75" would be the perfect listing for him...

what do you think Rob?
Editor Rob
I think in the movie they could look quite close
Anakin said on 8/May/15
It's odd that he claims only 6' I always thought he was at least 6'1 based on movies where he appears next to famously tall actors. For instance Liam Neeson in Batman Begins with his 6'3-6'4 should tower over him if he were only 6' but he doesn't
Andrea said on 7/May/15
So, how the hell can a 5'1-5'2 girl look so tall next to a 6' guy? You think she's wearing "monster" heels?
Sam said on 6/May/15
Yeah, I've seen enough evidence recently to suggest to me that Bale can be a 5'11.75" guy. Pretty close to six feet, it's hard to determine a quarter inch but does look maybe 0.75 shorter than Bradley Cooper and not anything more than an inch over Joel Edgerton.
Andrea said on 6/May/15
Also, can you explain why does he look so "short" here with Reese Witherspoon? She doesn't look more than 5.5 inches shorter than him... If he's 6', he's gotta be around 6'1 in shoes, making her 5'7.5 range in whatever heels! You think she's wearing a pair of heels which ACTUALLY give her 6 inches???
Andrea said on 4/May/15
Rob, have you seen him with Brandon Routh? He can look 3 big inches shorter than him, would you rule out 5'11.5 for Bale?
Editor Rob
Bale can look anywhere in 5ft 11.5-6ft range.
tbe said on 3/May/15
6'0 is what he is, never looked shorter and never seems to wear lifts.

LOL @ 179 cm. Just look at this picture:

There is no way a 5'10" guy would look this tall next to a guy around 6'2".
Paleman said on 28/Apr/15
I always thought he was like 5'9-5'10 because of his body structure, he's so sturdy and bulky. He just doesn't look anywhere near a 6 footer when he's alone! Of course, you can see that he must be at least close to that when standing next to Morgan Freeman in the Batman movies but still...

I suppose he's 6' tall alright.
