Could he have lost height when doing his extreme weight loss prior to The Machinist? Just asking.

Personally I'd say Bale is a good 5'11 and change, like 180-181 cm, just by looking at him. How he looks with Nolan and sometimes Neeson and Freeman tells me that he's not quite 6ft also. Seeing him in stills with 5'9 Tom Hardy and Joseph G. Levitt also tells me that he's not the full 6ft, again probably more 5'11 and change.
I've seen someone further down in the comment section has posted a picture of Bale and West Bentley, listed 5'10.25 on this site, but whom I think by looking at him with for example Colin Farrell (175-177 imo), looks the same height. I did some research and found a couple of pics to show the difference between the two. It's hard to tell from these shots, but if Wes is a solid 178 cm as listed, Bale is definitely a good 3-4 centimeters taller.

From what I've seen, Bale could be 5'11 flat, 5'11 and some change, or he could be close to, or a flat 6ft. But he's definitely not shorter than 5'11 like some have suggested. My best estimation would be 181 cm.

One more time I think Bale is between 5'11'' and 6'0'' just like Jensen Ackles and Chris Evans.

Christian Bale is 6ft, stop complaining that he looks 5'10 next to Mark Wahlberg, he only 5'10 in his film The Fighter because the character he played was 5'10. In real life, Bale clearly is 6 foot. Deal with it people.

I agree, Jax. He really never strike me as a 6 footer whenever I see him around 5'9 guys like Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, or 5'7-8 guys like Sam Worthington and Mark Wahlberg. Also next to a slouching Morgan Freeman, however tall he relly is these days, 186, 187 or 188 cm (with his horrible posture it's hard to tell sometimes) he looks a good bit shorter.

I think 181cm barefeet is spot on....its close enough to 6ft to easly claim it, considering there are many 181-182cm actors that claim 6'1 ( like jensen ackles for instance)

When I was in high school, I was 5'11 and 3/4". I'm in my forties now and I'm just below 5'11". I have a pair of boots that put me at 6'. The point is that most of us shrink with age, or we could have been measured wrong, or we round up because we'd rather appear taller. It's been my experience that a lot of people really don't know their exact height. It's more of a composite of information they've accumulated throughout their lives. Morgan Freemen is 6'2", and he looks to me to be about three inches taller than Bale, but that's just my opinion.

I think Bale does have a very marginal height advantage over DiCaprio, although it would interesting to see how these "competitors" would compare.

He can look just 180 cm at times but I still think 182-183 cm is right for Bale. 5'11.75 might be better than the full 6ft.

Both Nolan and Bale are close in height. In some pics Bale edge out Nolan, and in others Nolan is the taller one. Still 182-183 is good for Bale. Neeson is a terrible sloucher but he's still over 6'3''.

I don't believe Nolan is listed 6'0 or above anywhere? He does look like a strong 5'11 and is listed at 5'11 so maybe giving him a height estimate of 5'11.5 might be closer to do the truth. What is more or less certain though, he is taller then christian bale - i think that can be agreed upon.

Christian Bale is closer to 5'11 then 5'10. He is around the 5'11 mark and seems to dip below it.
Liam Neeson is a good 4 inches taller, around 6'3 but possibly a weak 6'3 at his age. Both stars hover around these parameters but dip below. Height is not necessarily one way or the other and you can't pinpoint at a specific point.
Bale 5'10.75 - 5'11
Neeson 6'2.75 - 6'3.25

I saw Christian Bale in a restaurant here in SM a couple of years ago. I was actually struck by how short and slight he was. I would say he couldn't be more than 5'10" max.

Nearly an inch shorter then the 5'11 listed christopher nolan. Even if christopher was 5'11.75 and was rounding down, bale would have a hard time passing 5'11.
In reality, 5'11 is the max height christian can be and he clearly seems in the 5'10 range. He can appear shorter with some actors when they wear lifts but he is somewhere in the 5'10 range, probably upper and wakes up at 5'11-ish. A classic 5'10 + proportion.
If you continue to believe he is taller then christopher nolan then please provide picture evidence. He is about 0.75 inches shorter then the 5'11 listed nolan. A classic, legit 5'11 range person is most people's 6'0 + and pretty tall and it would quite cool if rob were to demonstrate a 5'11+ in any future height challenge.

@Bakura- Calm down man. I agree he (Bale) CAN pull off 6ft, but not all the time.
And also to some of you guys that use the 'lifts' argument for Eckhart; there's an equally big chance of Bale being a liftwearer as there is a chance of Eckhart being one. Heck it might even be a bigger, more logical chance for Bale to be it as he's the bigger Hollywood-name of the two.
For the reference of Bale's height I think the photo I just posted of Hardy and Bale could be used, Hardy is 5'9 max as he looks about the same height as Gary Oldman listed 5'8.5 here and looked a good 3.5-4 inches shorter than Chris Pine (I have to disagree with you Rob that Hardy might be taller than 5'9). Bale has every advantage possible in that photo and still only looks about 7-8 cm taller.
Have a look at this one aswell, I hardly see the 3 inches even when every advantage on earth is in Bale's favour - again: Click Here
Here Bale has taken a small step back, Hardy is still doing the splits - Bale still tilting his head up, again having every advantage possible, only now he looks 181-182 cm at most. That is why I think Bale is 181 cm at most barefoot, you could change my opinion though, IF you manage to find me a SOLID piece of evidence to suggest otherwhise. Until then I'm sticking with 181 cm for Bale.

Bale is closer to the camera and has a far superior posture. Looks 7-8 cm taller here, 6ft if Hardy is 5'9, but if Hardy stood with the same posture and equally close to the camera, the height-difference would not be that much, possibly only 5-6 cm. What do you say Rob?

THIS IS AN ARTICLE FROM A NEWSPAPER[LOCAL];IN DARK KNIGHT RISES,BANE NEEDED TO WEAR THREE-INCH HEELS TO LOOK BATMAN IN THE EYE.TOM HARDY,WHOM WE ALL KNOW AS BANE IN THE RECENT BATMAN MOVIE,STANDS AROUND 5FOOT 9.IT IS ORDINARILY NOT THAT SHORT A HEIGHT,BUT COMPARED TO CHRISTIAN BALE,WHO IS SIX FEET TALL THERE IS A BIT OF A HEIGHT DIFFERENCE.
DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE DARK KNIGHT RISES,THE STUDIO EXECUTIVES WERE KEEN ON HAVING BANE BE THE SAME HEIGHT AS BATMAN.FOR TOM HARDY,THREE-INCH LIFTS WERE MADE.IT WAS SO THAT HE COULD SEE EYE TO EYE WITH BOTH BALE AND MORGAN FREEMAN,AS THEY ARE BOTH ABOVE SIX FEET.
BATMAN IS NORMALLY 6FOOT 2 BUT BALE WAS 6FOOT FLAT AND IS AMONG THE TALLEST BATMAN ACTORS AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE BEST.

Something's wrong in that pic, it's Bale that strangely looks around 6'1 next to 5'9 Oldman and 6'1.5 Freeman.

That's one of the few photos where Bale is standing with great posture and Freeman is clearly not a 6'2'' man anymore since he's 75. Freeman was for sure 6'2'' at his peak if not more and now 186-187 cms.

whats the deal here? has MF shrunk 2 inches or is Bale wearing lifts?
i see that bale has excellent posture and MF is slightly hunched but still this can only account for 1/2 an inch at most

I agree the transformation from The Machinist to Batman Begins was just sick. From looking anorexic at 120-125 pounds to look ripped at 180-185 pounds. In 3 months. This dramatic weight gain and loss shouldn't be healthy for him.

Close enough to 6' to argue about it. He is obviously does not come across as short on screen.....minimum 5'11" meaning with shoes 6' to 6'1 thats why he doesnt look short.

Editor Rob most people aren't going to be able to spot if you're 5ft 11.75 or 6ft, so if you dropped a 1/4 inch below 6ft I think most people won't bother with fractions and would just say 6ft, or about/almost 6ft

Looks about 1-1.5 inches taller then the 5'9.5 listed joseph gordon-levitt but that 5'9.5 looks a bit in the high end for me. He seems between 5'8.5 - 5'9.25, quite possibly 5'8. Which would would put bale at 5'10.75 at the highest, and 5'10 at lowest compared to a 5'8.5 joseph

@chris listen, your didn't get the point. Point being, bale equals in freeman in height when we clearly know, freeman is taller. How much taller is another issue, some would say 1 inch but thats just a dream, anywhere between 2.5 - 3 inches and even with freeman ''6'1.25 - 6'1.5 now-a-days,'' bale would not reach 6'0 nor 5'11.5, he could would basically come up short - no pun intended.

@SAK, as i stated earlier, he looks in the upper 5'9 range with the 5'9 - 5'9.5 in those decent screen shots, no lifts and looks nowhere close to 5'11.5, that surely can be agreed on.
I estimated bale in the 5'10 range at best ie 5'10 - 5'10.75 and nothing more..
''Compared to everyone else bale looks 5'11.5/6f'', well if you mean by everyone else celebrities such as the 6'2 listed morgan freeman, then yeh ..
Click Here
Here he is, looking 1 inch taller then the 6'2 listed freeman, since we believe bale does not wear lifts, its only fair to say bale is 6'3 right? since they are right next to each other and its a direct relationship. Actually morgan is slouching, so bale is 6'2.5 right? And look, he's about 1.5 inches taller then the 5'8.5 katie holmes with her 4 inch heels making him, 6'2 with shoes and 6'1 without right? so your 5'11.5 is off to with some prominent celebrities, since someone like bale does not wear lifts right?
Now, if we talk a bit more sense. Heres bale with freeman again in a better more accurate shot ..

Freeman is around 3 inches taller then bale. Freeman is listed as 6'2 but most likely has shrunk from that, if i had to pick a number i would pick 6'1, making bale in the 5'10 range at best. 5'11.5 and 6'0 in all reality, is to far out.
If i really wanted to troll. I would state hardy states himself as 5'9. Using the general rule of thumb that most celebrities exaggerate height, i could argue he's 5'8.75 and bale is the same height or a bit taller as clearly shown in those perfect head-to-toe comparison shots - Theres no lifts there, i could argue bale looks a flat 5'9 there with R-E-A-S-O-N but im generous, i still stated he looked in the top 5'9 range and went with the 5'10 range ie 5'10 - 5'10.75, nows thats being completely fair and impartial.

I can post more pictures of that scene if your like, its pretty clear. Hardy has no lifts in those shots. Hardy looks bale eye to eye. Hardy is between 5'9 - 5'9.5, you can do the simple maths. As i said before, 6'0 is a fanboy dream. The 5'10 range would be best him.

I can post more pictures of that scene if your like, its pretty clear. Hardy has no lifts in those shots. Hardy looks bale eye to eye. Hardy is between 5'9 - 5'9.5, you can do the simple maths. As i said before, 6'0 is a fanboy dream. The 5'10 range would be best him.
tom hardy 5'9 - 5'9.5
bale 5'10 - 5'10.75 (Looks in the upper 5'9 range with hardy)

You should not take the s u n tabloid as a reliable source. These 3 inches rumours seem only that, a rumours well at least not in that particular fight scene on the steps. First of all there is no way you get 3 inch lifts in those shoes and 2) It would be very dangerous to do a fight scene on some steps, with lifts on so at least in that particular scene, hardy did not have lifts on, visibly you could tell plus, he matched bale in height.
Bale is not 5'11 or above ..

@Johno,please stop trolling...if you aren't ABSOLUTELY DO NOT compare him with Tom when he is "Bane" its absurd...he is wearing lifts in his boots as stated earlier in production so both "Batman" and "Bane" can look eachother eye to eye and that is not a rumour its a fact.Anything below 5'11.25 for Bale is not serious.
____________________________________________________________________________
Your name randomly pops out of nowhere and calls me a troll, i call that trolling. 5'11.25 seems like a fanboy dream. In that particular set of pictures, the fight scene between bane and batman set on the footsteps of that building, hardy does not appear to have any lifts on if anything, bale does since batman's shoes look quite chunky. I don't know what kind of lifts they used since, bane is ment to tower batman, or at least be taller, clearly hardy is not and has not been made to appear to, what is the point?
No wonder if the fighter, bale did not dominate the 5'7 mark wahlberg in height, its because he isn't that much above average. A legit 5'11ish guy would look tallish, bale does not. Bale is not in the 5'11 range and 6'0, well ......
Hardy 5'9 - 5'9.5
christian bale 5'10 the best ( looks in the upper end of the 5'9 range in comparison with hardy, no lifts )

..................Point being, he's very far from the 6'0 mark and similary, not close to the 5'11 figure. Best he could be is 5'10.5 but could even shorter as evident by the tom hardy comparisons.

@chris, your first link, you can't tell wear the actors are standing and what on thus bale gains a bit of height and in your second link where the entire bodyshots becomes avaliable, bale barely has any height on the 5'9 - 5'9.5 tom hardy.
Plus, any height he does have at the top of his head is due to his rubber mask. The tip of his head is not that high thus, tom hardy and bale and nearly equals in height.

If Caine was standing as straight as Bale,he would be around an inch taller(in 2008),as I said he is probably 0.5in below 183cm as his lowest height.If it was my job to list him I'd also put him at 6ft because he does seem to be that tall,but can also look as low as 5'11 at certain times...but I can't see him below 180/181cm.anytime of the day

182/183cm.Looks one inch shorter give or take,than Michael Caine and was noticeably shorter than Morgan Freeman and especially Liam Neeson,I can agree on him being 3+/4 inches shorter than Neeson,however it would be nicer if they made him atleast to be 6'2 in lifts or something to be atleast Freeman's height,because in the birthday party scene in Batman Begins he looked around 3 inches shorter than Freeman...The lowest id give him would be 180cm night height

No, there is not a higher chance he is a fraction under.

So ultimately Bale wakes up 6ft, or maybe even a tad over, but is 182 cm a few hours after that.End of story

I saw him in Starbucks on the Warner Bros. lot right before Batman Begins came out. I'm between 6'2-6'3. He wasn't that much shorter than me, and I slouch. So about 6'0-6'1 seems reasonable to me. I would say just over 6'0 sounds right.

He was NEVER as tall as them, and he didn't even look 6ft with either of them, maybe Freeman but Caine had OVER an inch, and he's not over 6'1 today.Just wondering why my sensible comments got deleted when you've left so many goofy ones on here.Please explain Rob when you get the chance...
Editor Rob
Rob, why we're my comments deleted from this page?!?
I mean I brought up a valid point, that is is, without a shred of doubt, shorter than Robert Sean Leanord who is 6ft max, making Bale 5ft11.5-5ft11.75in(182cm range, essentially) I know my comments weren't offensive or crazy, and I am one of the few posters who brought valid evidence to this debate. Just look at this comment someone else posted:

He isn't under 5'11.5 for sure.
His height is probably around 5'11.5-5'11.75, he looks even 6'0 next to Liam Neeson, who is taller than Brandon Routh even today.

- Kevin spacey is in the background thats why he looks shorter then he is.
Kevins height is up for debate, however brandons height is more or less stapled down.

routh could be 190cm and look how much taller bale looks than listed 5'9.75 kevin spacey.
i agree though johno bale is looking closer too 5'11 with Routh.
I suppouse 5'11.75 (182cm) is a possiblity. bale does not really look taller than a guy like jake gylenhaal for example.

The same event, but on a flat stage. Brandon is leaning but the difference between them would not be anything less then 3 inches, probably towards 4 inches..
Brandon routh 6'2.5 confirmed
Christian bale, as evident by my pictures 3-4 inches shorter

adams1818: Routh is very strongly his stated height, and I see about three
inches' difference, which would still put Bale so near 5.11.75" as to make quibbling about it pointless. He may not be six feet tall but anything under 5'11" is silly. And as he is always noticeably taller than Russell Crowe, my agrument for Crowe being no taller than 5'10" max is, I feel, compelling.

its been mentioned that routh was standing on a ramp next too bale making him appear maybe 192 or 193cm.
bale did look 183cm with liam neeson.

After viewing many films and photographs I think Bale is just a hair under six feet and frankly cannot accept Russell Crowe as being a micrometer over 5'10".
I think Crowe wears shoes that have a lot of heel to begin with (no crime in that) and possibly augments their out-of-the-box height with a nuance or two of
his own calculated to add another half inch or so. He can definitely appear near six feet but is clearly getting some help in carrying that impression.
My exact guess is Christian Bale 5'11.75" and Russell Crowe 5'10.25" The photo
James uploaded conveys this perfectly.

how do you know he was on a ramp? is that your deduction? Next to Liam Neeson, he looks exactly 6ft but that photo made me change idea!
Brandon Routh could be 190cm and rob made the point a while back that routh might have been standing on a ramp hence why he looked so much taller than bale.

@James, yes it's bizarre. He's not close to that mark and it's an oddly precise figure.
Maybe
Bale is not 6'1 just look at him with 6'2 Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine. 6'0 is fine.
PS did you know his dad was '6'5'?

I actually met Bale one time, he is about 6'1", and the photo of him with Arnie is telling. Arnie is 6 feet flat, he was 6'2" in his prime. Bale has an inch on six foot Arnie. So 6-1 is about right for him. He is also a couple of inches taller than 5-11 Aaron Eckhart.

seriously guys both freeman and routh make bale look shorter then 5'11 even. The guy looked in the 5'10 range with freeman in SAK'S picture. Even the 5'8 katie holmes in her 4 inch heels has 1.5inch on him so that would make her 6'0 with shoes. And even then bale with his shoes on does not reach that height.
Lets give him benefit of the doubt and say his shoes are only 1 inch in height and he still is 1 inch shorter then katie holmes in her 4 inch heels. Which means he's 5'11 in shoes and a flat 5'10 without. Ok lets even be more generous and say katies heels are 5 inches in height that would make bale 5'11 without shoes and thats if bales shoes are only 1 inch most likely they are 1.2s.
Bottom line bale is 5.10 hes tall because he is a legit 5 foot ten and hes slender and around the same height as justin timberlake who can also pull off a 5'11 to 6'0

Bale was completely owned by the 6'2.5 brandon routh in height. There was over 3 inches in height difference. Bale a very weak 5'11. Sooner or later, his height will become more obvious.
