Nice picture! Walken's eyes seem to be focusing elsewhere though.

In A View to a Kill, he looks only a fraction shorter than 6'1" Roger Moore. I'd say 6'0.5" at peak. Nowadays, he's probably about 5'11.5" judging from the photo above.

rob for sure you should give him his peak, in deer hunter he was huge, and had close to 3.5 inches on Deniro.6'0.5 for sure. What do you think?

On the Public TV show "Inside the Actor's Studio" Walken told the interviewer he was six-feet-one, "but I have very tall hair!"

He looked like 6'1 when he was younger. Looks a little under 6'0 with Glenn.

yeah Markus.I'd say a strong 5'11 at least even today.probably 5'11.25.5'10 is out of the question for walken.Shoulder show about 3.5in of difference,but its more 3-3.25 in reality,judging by the top of the head.

There's more than 2 inches difference between Glenn and Mr. Walken here, I'm still going with 5-11. Also look at the shoulder height difference.

hey, he could very well be 5'10" cause no one has taken into acount that his hair is always brushed back prob gives him 2" of extra height but not raggin on him though he's a phanomenal actor

imho bare footed Walken is 5'11.5 and with the shoes in the pic about 6'0.5

[Editor Rob: nearing 65 on for sure he is likely to have lost some noticeable (1/2, 3/4) height.]
My dad was 6'2 1/2" aged 17, i measured him last year and today after reading this, hes 6'2 1/2" aged 57, and is a builder, and works his back loads.
Losing height from age is over rated also.

Editor Rob likely, not a certainty of course. Your sample size is 1, and he's 57 and you think height loss is over-rated. Its understandable you'd think that. Research proves otherwise though.

Though he was still taller in 2002 than DiCaprio who is in my opinion 182-183 cm.
I still think that he was at least 184cm when he was in his 20s.

suck it markus
I dont care if hes sloching, i didnt know better about adam sandler back then, adams 5'9" tops personally to me, and even slouching-you cant lose 3".
I even tested this as i am too-exactly 6'0" and even with extreme slouching, i still end up 5'10" and thats REALLY bad slouching, hunched over almost.
People give slouching more credit than its worth, you rarely lose more than 1" from it.
I say chris is 5'10" 5'11" tops.
5'10" guys can look 6ft with enough posture, shoes and hair, unless someones good at estimating height.
when i was 5'11" i had people comment me as being 6'1" and 6'3" even!!
some people REALLY dont know how to estimate height, so when it comes to "this person i know said they was around x'x" it really doesnt count for much, also note how these stories here usually lead to a massive 4" hike or something, not this time, but theyre easily findable.

this is a joke. there's no way this guy is 6 feet tall. He is maybe 5-11 and I'd say more like 5-10 in this picture. Looks like he's standing up straight, still there's no way that this guy is 4 inches taller than glenn.

I say Click last weekend, not a great movie btw...I'm not sure what Schnitzelfreak saw, but Chris definately looked taller than Adam Sandler in my opinion. Not sure by how much though because he has quirky puffy hair. Maybe about 1,5 or 2" difference.

Sure Walken is a cm taller than him, but cameras try to not reflect that on film.
Or Moore shrunk or he was never taller than 6', anyway that makes 6+ of Walken.

I think when he was younger, he may have been a tad over 6'1. In "Batman Returns", he was a good few centimeters over Michael Keaton. Also, in the scene where Michelle Pfeiffer (about 5'5 but 5'7 in the heels she was wearing) is confronted by his character, he towers over her. Very big and scary guy. He's prorbably about 184 centimeters now, so he's still fairly tall.

A really cool actor and the coolest hair in de business anyway!
The funny thing is that his height looks pretty steady in each movie. He maybe used to look a little taller, but thats because he gained some weight these days I think.
He's about 2-3 inches shorter than 6'3" Brendan Fraser in Blast from the past, so around 6 seems reasonable.

in the movie Batman Returns mr Walken seems to be much taller than mr Keaton at least 6 cm. comparing him to Andrew Bryniarski (he plays his son according to his site he is 6ft5inch ) makes me think that he is much over 6 ft. Walken seems to be max 2 inches shorter than Bryniarski. besides why Andrew Bryniarski isnt listed on the side??

I saw Walken two years ago during a screening of Catch Me If You Can. He was very engaging and funny - not at all like the crazies he portrays. He is also a fairly good singer and dancer. If you check out this film, Walken is clearly more than half an inch taller than Leo, and my personal account indicates that he is about 6-1.

Walken does have probably the goofiest hairdo around, he just comes off as being a wacky guy. He's probably somewhere between 6'0"-6'1", and he would be my first pick to play Sly if I were casting a Taming of the Shrew movie...
