In one of his first films with ginger Rogers,, First Travelling saleswoman, made in 1956, he appeared standing next to James Arness,who was 6ft 7inches . Clint looked easily 5 inches shorter that puts him at 6ft 2.. strange . Perhaps arnerss had got cowboy boots on but Eastwood, normal shoes although i couldnt see that happenning, it was a cowboy movies.
made me realise how big a man Arness was.If he had been a bodibuilder like Clint walker he would have been huge. Apparently a really nice man

Watching a old rawhide episode with Warren Oats Clint has about 5 or 6 inches on him,and Oats is listed at 5ft11.5 maybe Oats needs a downgrade.

Clint can actually still look solid six foot with his best stance...I think he passes for a six footer as he edges out strong 5'11" Leonardo DiCaprio and can look a couple inches taller than 5'10" listed Matt Damon.

If you stand with bad posture you are going to drop an inch or more from your real height.In Clints case being 85 years old and standing with a hunch if he can pull off 5ft11 he is easely 6ft standing in good posture.

I see you changed his peak height Rob, but honestly he hasn't looked a mm over 5'11" recently. Maybe you should consider changing his current height as well.

What made you finally take the leap to 6'3.75", Rob, considering that he never claimed anything but 6'4"? I would say that this is quite realistic, he definitely seemed a weakish 6'4" for the most part at peak. I'd believe Clint was a bit over 6'4" in the morning and a bit over 6'3" by the end of the day. However, it also makes me suspect that Rock Hudson was not really 6'5", Hudson gave the impression of only being about a half inch taller than Eastwood, not more than an inch.

Yh i think the change to 6'3.75 peak is perfect, he was definitely over 6'3, but ive never visualised him as a solid 6'4 guy, probably fell to 6'3.5 at his lowest and naturally claimed 6'4.

William Holden and Brad Pitt are both listed at 5ft11,so if you compare Clint from 40 years ago with Holden with the more recent photos with Brad Pitt,it will give you a good idea of how much height Clint has lost over the past 40 years.

When you see how much taller Tim Robbins looks compered to Clint at the time of Mystic River when Clint would have been around 70,its hard to belive there was only .75 of an inch in the difference between them both at their peaks.Clint looks 6ft1beside Robbins which would mean a 3inch height loss by age 70.I definitely think Clint height was not 6ft4 more like 6ft3.He was IMO measured in shoes at 6ft4.
Peak 1 inch between him and Robbins to be precise
Clint peak 6'3.75
Tim Robbins 6'4.75
Tim Robbins was 6'4 3/4"-6'5" just before BED at his peak. He woke up at close to 6'6" in the 1980's.

So 6'3" wasn't manly 60 years ago when the average height for a man was like 5'7" or 5'8"?

The two Holden with Clint photos show how camera angles can distort peoples heights.The black and white one makes Clint look only a couple of inches taller than Holden,but the colour one shows Clint looking 4 or 5 inches taller.

Weak 6'4 i think is possible , 6'3 flat is nonsense. Easily taller than a 6'2-6'2.5" Muhammad Ali. The thing is about giving him a 6'3.75" peak we don't really know, Wayne actually put it down in his own hand, quarter inches are hard.

Editor Rob today he might look shorter and measure taller...but some older gentlemen have spine curvature which you can't straighten, so they have a permanent rounded shoulder look, that can be mistaken for bad posture, when they actually are standing fine.

I agree weak 6'4'' as opposed to strong 6'4''. I know some disagree but I thought he looked shorter than Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes and shorter than George Kennedy in films they made together in the 1970s. Has experienced most height loss of any celeb I can think of even if was not quite full 6'4'' in prime.

My cousin worked on a set, and stands 6'6" . He stood right next to Eastwood and SWEARS Clint Eastwood only came up to the top of his chest, which would put Clint at around 5'8". Now my cousin is not the lying type. When Eastwood appeared at the Oscars, and walked by Hugh Jackman who is a self proclaimed 6'2", Jackman dwarfed Eastwood. You could visibly see it for yourself on the tv screen. So now I'm doubtful of his previously proclaimed height. I believe Eastwood has worn heels for most of his acting career. He looks buff in his old flicks, but I believe has tiny legs? I'm putting him, in his younger days, at around 5'8" - 5'9".

You just said what you said, because you want Clint to be 6'4", so every other actor's height falls into your preconceived notion of what you want Clint to be.

To each their own, Eastwood is may be a little bit more of a minimalist as an actor than Ford. I also enjoy Ford and his films and it's basically apples and oranges. I think Eastwood's talent as a director and a producer is what if anything really gives him an advantage over Harrison Ford. Also outside of the Jones and Star Wars franchises Ford's outstanding films are much sporadic (couple of expections like The Fugitive or Witness) than Eastwood's. Your preference may have to do with genre as well, pretty much one has to enjoy Westerns to enjoy Clint's filmography.

I have seen a lot of 6'4 guys in my life. I live in the Netherlands. Clint just wasn't that tall. He looks
taller than 6'2, but definitely shorter than 6'4. Take in account that he has a slender build which makes him look
taller, he is closer to 6'2 than he is to 6'4.
Muhammed Ali was about 6'1.5 and max a weak 6'2. Clint isn't even an inch taller than Ali. Look
at the youtube video of both. Type ''Eastwood Ali''. 6'2.5 for Clint IMHO, which I think is a fantastic
height.
Nowadays he is about 5'11. He has lost 3-4 inches. That is quite a bit. Clint had the legs of a 6'5 guy and the upper body
of a sub 6 foot guy if you ask me. I still think he always had problems with his back and abdominal area.
And Harrison Ford having better looks than Clint is just hilarious.

Muhammed Ali was about 6'1.5 and max a weak 6'2. Clint isn't even an inch taller than Ali. Look
at the youtube video of both. Type ''Eastwood Ali''. 6'2.5 for Clint IMHO, which I think is a fantastic
height.
Nowadays he is about 5'11. He has lost 3-4 inches. That is quite a bit. Clint had the legs of a 6'5 guy and the upper body
of a sub 6 foot guy if you ask me. I still think he always had problems with his back and abdominal area.
And Harrison Ford having better looks than Clint is just hilarious.

Yes lets downgrade Muhammad Ali to 6'1 range just to fit a shorter Clint. The smallest Ali could have been was 6'2 flat and he was looking up at Clint.
Im not ruling out him being under 6'4 as he could have been like John Wayne, falling a fraction short of the mark..
Just don't see him being under 6'3.5" at peak, thats the minimum i think that you can argue.

But in High Plains Drifter, Clint was still at his peak height. I believe it was 192cm or a weak 6'4". He had lost a fraction by the '80s, if you ask me. Probably 189-190cm (so not a flat 6'2"). He also aged noticeably quick in his appearance between the Philo Beddo movies and SI/Tightrope.

Physically look at his length of arm span and shoulder width look like 6'2-6-3 guy proportion. But I wouldn't say he was under 6'2.5 at peak. He could be proper 6'3 and listed 6'4 as standard American actor listing.

It's hard for me to believe that people seem to dispute that you can have up to 3 to 4 inches of height loss, I thought it was in the realm of scientific fact. 190 cm seems improbably low for a peak for Clint...that would make him 6'2.75", I think a full inch downgrade would be necessary for almost all his co-stars from the 60s and 70s.

What I noticed was that Clint has a very slender body which makes him look taller.
Charlton Heston is not a full 6'2 IMHO. Looks more like 186cm. Clint has about 3cm or so on him.
Clint is about 189cm.
Clint Eastwood looking only slightly taller than 187cm Muhammed Ali. Interesting to see how slender
Eastwood looks compared to Ali. 190cm max for Eastwood.
Remember guys, 190cm in Hollywood is huge. Most male stars are like 5-8 to 5-10. Clint was 5-6 inches
taller than the average actor. Keep that in mind.

LOL Ali, he had two inches on Tim Matheson, and 3.5 on David Soul and Hal Holbrook. He might not have looked very tall to you but that's because it had a tall cast. 190cm is a shade under 6'3, not 188 or 189. 188 is pretty much 6'2 flat.

Hollywood tricks people when it comes to heights.people are comparing 6'5" Dwayne Johnson to Clint Eastwood at the awards. How do we know Dwayne is really 6 foot 5? common. He looks tall but so do I and I am 5 foot 10. I tower over most guys in Toronto.I believe Clitn has lost height he is 85 years of age now he will lost some height. If anything I would say Clint Eastwood is probably 5'8 inches and Dwayne is probably 6 feet tall. Dotn believe everything you read online. Same with Arnold Schwarzeneggar he was listed as 6'2" now 20 years older than I am and I am 5 foot 10 inches. But I saw a youtube video of Arnold disquising himself at a gym looking Mexican ha and he looked no joke 5 foot 6". the females were the same height as him and one customer was twice his height. People lie about their height all the time.Most men measure their height while they wear shoes and who knows maybe shoe lifts. Its a guy thing to be taller because it represents masculinity. The Taller than man the more masculine he is.

Odd that youd watch magnum force where he looks 6'4 when you compare him to all the other actors and their height listings such as David Soul,Felton Perry,Hal Holbrook,Tim Matheson and Robert Urich and youd come up with.....a weak 6'3 in that film ? Please explain.

If he was 188 - 189 that would make Charlton Heston 184-185 peak,because he had about an inch and a half on Heston in 1973.Heston was about 189-190 peak IMO and a lot of other people, so if Clint was 188-189 how come he was taller than Heston?

6'2" at the time of Sudden Impact, I think. Russ McCubbin (Kruger's brother-in-law and Mick's henchman) was 6'5" and seemed to edge him noticeably. Don't think Clint could have whopped him in real life as in the movie.

In some films you could argue 190cm for Charlton Heston. Arguing that for Clint is really not arguable. The worst you could argue peak for Eastwood is 192 I think.

More chance of Charlton Heston being 6 ft 3 peak than 186! If Heston was 186 Orson Welles was little more than 180 cm in Touch of Evil! Charlton Heston I think is one of the best examples of a solid 6 ft 2 guy you can get.

I hadn't seen the '73 Oscars. Clint does appear quite tall. Charlton Heston definitely was a tall guy. I don't think he was a full 6'2, more like 186,187cm. Clint appears to be an inch and a half or so taller. This gives a good case for a strong 6'3 height for Clint. 192cm is just too much for him I think and 188cm is too short. 190cm.
Next question is how did Eastwood lose so much height? He's lost about 3,5 to 4 inches. I mean he is famous and has lots of money. There is practically no info on this matter.

@Jervis Yes that's what I mean, the full 6'4" did check out with most actors in 50s-70s period. Strode always looked a proper 6'4 guy. I do think he got measured at it earlier in the day at one point. I don't think his lowest would be closer to 6'3" though, the lowest I could possibly see him dropping to is 6'3.5. Out of bed I think he'd have cleared 6'4".

Hey guys. Check this out. Clint Eastwood is 85 years old! He is an old man!
Clint is like 5'11 nowadays. 6'2.5 peak. 189cm in hollywood is very tall and perhaps in the past even more so. Definitely lost quite a bit of height.
His back looks very weak and of course he is old. Clint is somebody who has very obviously become shorter. His whole abdominal area has collapsed. Even when I look at his younger pictures, it seems his abdominal area looks weaker, slightly compressed.
Hollywood heights are always exaggerated. Clint was tall, but never had the body of a 6'4 guy. He has the classic look of a 6'2 guy, just a bit taller.
I'd take 6'2.5 over 6'4 any day. 6'4 is too tall.
By the way, Clint looks to me as a person who definitely needs hormone replacement.

I think he was probably just under 6'4''. Pondered a lot on this one but he just doesn't look quite as big as genuine 6'4'' guys. There is a photo of Clint with 6'4'' John Gavin and Clint looks shorter. Has lost a heck of a lot of height with age though although I guess most famous people his age have long since retired from the spotlight so hard to compare with others.

Yes Skarsgard and Goldblum do look taller on screen than Clint did.Clint was more like Donald Sutherlands height when young.If you look at the body snachers movie you can see that Goldblum has a least 1inch in height over Sutherland.IMO he would have the same over a young Clint.If Clint was any less than 6ft3 peak it would mean a lot of downgrades from Lee Marvin to George kennedy Greg Walcoot,Rock Hudson,and many more,all downgradeing by around 1.5inches.I can belive that there was a little bit of exaggerating of peoples heights in the old days,but now it is more difficult to get away with it.

I mean, even if you're not a person who pays attention to height, you will always notice how (very) tall these people are!

My own opinion is that Dillman was not ever 6 ft. Ben Jones (a super nice guy) is often listed as 6'3, and I met him a decade or more ago. He was easily under 6 ft.(my own height). Heights are exaggerated in Hollywood, even if not by the celebrities themselves.

If you really watch his 60s and 70s films 6'4" does look right in most comparisons, but with some like Gregory Walcott in Joe Kidd and Larry Hankin in Escape from Alcatraz he could look a bit under it. He did seem to edge out Donald Sutherland though who with Elliot Gould was nothing under 6'3.5. I've always seen him as the same height as Wayne, so you could argue 6'3.75 too I think.

Rob do you think 6'3.75 like John Wayne might be the best overall shout? I can well believe he got measured at 6'4 but it might have been a morning measurement. I think most of us think more weak 6'4, with Volonte he didn't look 6'4 but I think Volonte had some boost in his footwear. In most comparisons peak he really did look around 6'4". He certainly looked it with Rock Hudson. He did look to edge out Sutherland but not easy to tell. I think you could argue 6'3.5-6'4 range, perhaps 6'3.75 makes the most sense overall?
Editor Rob
I think from all the evidence of Clint in younger years, he might have fallen into the same as Wayne. It might make sense, Wayne was unique in that one time he actually gave the 3.75 mark. Clint has always went with 6ft 4.

I think most of us think more weak 6'4, with Volonte he didn't look 6'4 but I think Volonte had some boost in his footwear. In most comparisons peak he really did look around 6'4". He certainly looked it with Rock Hudson. He did look to edge out Sutherland but not easy to tell. I think you could argue 6'3.5-6'4 range, perhaps 6'3.75 makes the most sense overall?

He looked his most intimidating in Heartbreak Ridge in 1986 IMO.
Intimidating? You mean personality wise? Height wise? Not sure if physically he looked his most largest if anything he looked quite thin in that movie. In films like dead pool and pink Cadillac that's the bulkiest he's ever looked to me.
Granted often a crew cut/short hair makes you look taller and skinnier.
Size doesn't always equate to intimidating. It was the crew cut and if anything being less bulky in it and more toned made him look tougher.

Peak height 192 cm range, 6'3.5" is likely with a chance of 6'3.75". Current height... Hard to say if he could straighten up for a measurement at all, but he doesn't look over 6'0" to me.

Clint had a bad/relaxed posture even when he was young. He rarely stood up to his full 6ft4 . Nowadays his back is so bad that he cannot straighten up. I think this estimate is very accurate. Maybe with some stretching/yoga he might still hit 6ft1.

Rob, with all due respect, but 10 cm of height loss seems excessive to me for Clint, then everything is possible, for Heaven's sake, but 10 cm does not seem realistic.

I saw Clint up close directing "The Garden of Good and Evil" in Savannah, about 15 years ago. He looked pretty good back then and was easily in the 6'2" to 6'4" range. Definitely taller than everyone around him--camera guys, security, guys, etc.

...just watched True Crime (1999), and to me, Eastwood never looked more than 6'1. Dennis Leary is listed as 6'2, and James Woods as 5'11. Whether those heights are valid, I don't know. One photo has Clint edging out Leary by an inch, which would make him 6'3. But was Leary really 6'2? One thing is for certain...to me, in that by 1999 and in this movie, no way Eastwood look 6'4...or even 6'3. I've always thought that Eastwood actually looked his most intimidating in The Dead Pool...as he looked more filled out....perhaps from working out more for various 80's movies. In this movie, 11 years later, he looks scrawny.

@James, I think the worst you could argue for Hudson is 6'4.5, If you watch The Bend of The River Hudson looked about 1.5 inches taller than Jimmy Stewart who was a very solid 6'3". 195cm for Hudson is possible, but definitely around 6'5 if you see a lot of his films.

Two pretty awful examples you use there to justify Clint being 6'3..firstly bridges was 6'1.5 and eastwood had him by 2 inches whilst holding some pretty loose posture..and secondly Eastwood was 57/58 when acting with neeson,and had probs lost half an inch meanwhile arguably neeson was 6'4.25...so yh based on what your saying 6'3.75 peak for Eastwood..which i think fits him perfectly.

6ft3 peak for Clint seems more real it would explain why he looked 1inch short of Neeson and max 2 taller than Bridges rather than he shrank 4inches.

Without splitting hairs id say 6'4 in the 50s and 60s is more the equivalent of 6'5.5 today rather than 6'6...6'6 would mean on average we're getting about a third of an inch taller per decade which seems slightly inflated.

Yh I certainly think Clint wouldn't have knowingly lied about his height, he wasn't the sort..id say in his 60s westerns prime out of bed 6'4.25, last thing at night 6'3.5..so in essence he stood near and around the 6'4 mark to claim it..Clint strikes me as the no nonsense type so adding things like "and a half" or worse "and three quarters" wouldn't have been his thing,he would have just said 6'4.

I really don't think Clint was sort of guy to claim he was 6 ft 4 if he hadn't have been measured at it. Also he seems pretty sure he was that height at 15 or whatever it was Andrea because he said in his biography there was only one guy taller in the school who was an inch taller at 6 ft 5. He seems sure of the figures, so quite likely he got measured that height in high school. He might have been in gym daps or something, you never know, but he was clearly around it.
Remember also that for his generation 6 ft 4 was so tall that many like Christopher Lee and Rock Hudson would downgrade. Hudson was once put at 6'3.5!
While it is true Hollywood embraced big guys even then, and Arthur Lubin was impressed with his stature when he walked into a studio, in terms of finding work in anything but a macho western it wouldn't have been easy. Rock Hudson in a way was lucky he had the romantic comedy roles he did and they found ways to address the height difference.

I don't know, Arch. As i said, it could be that most of the actors in his era were over 6 foot? Look at this: Click Here
The tall actor on the left, Larry Hankin, is listed at 6'4 on the net... I've seen him in Breaking Bad and Pain and Gain and thought he could look 6'2-6'3. Now, this guy is in his 70s, so you'd expect he's lost at least an inch, so he probably was not much far off the 6'4 mark when younger... In that clip, he looks similar to Clint, i'll give you that!

Here the peak listing for David Saul and the current height listing for Bradley Cooper is 6ft.5 ok,if this is correct,then you can compear the old Clint with 6ft.5 Cooper and the younger Clint with 6ft.5 Saul,and you can see how much height Clint has losz next to a 6ft.5 guy.If Saul was 6ft.5 peak Clint looks about 2 or 2.5 inches taller than Saul,not 3.5 inches,thats why i say Clint was more 6ft3 peak.If you see the height diference between Neeson and Cooper in The A Team there is a much bigger diference between 6ft4 Neeson and Cooper than there was between Clint and Saul..

Rob do you agree that it would be a historic moment if david beckham and clint eastwood met at some awards ceremony and had a few pictures together? Clint as we all know has met face to face with hugh jackman. Beckham and jackman were on graham norton together recently too. Yet for some reason eastwood and beckham have not crossed paths YET.
It would be great if they did meet before clint eastwood dies but it may never happen :-(. Never say never though beckham I think is getting more into acting and will mixing with Hollywood big names. Odd though beckham has a lot of photos with Hollywood celebs since 2007 but he has never bumped into clint eastwood in LA where he spends most of his time.

Editor Rob beckham has met a fair amount, but yeah by the time he meets Eastwood he might be the same size.
I've only seen a few things with Beckham like that comic relief and that corden barefeet parodyvert...to be fair he could probably do some roles.

@ Andrea I read somewhere that Clint got measured for a waxwork in his western garb for a Californian museum in the 60s and it measures 6'5.5. Cowboy boots typically give around 2 inches so think what of that as you may. I still think he'd have easily hit 6'4" early in the day anyway, but possible his lowest was 6'3" range.

Arch, if that guy really is 5'8 and the ground is even for both of them, yeah, Clint does look between 6'3 and 6'4...
But again look how huge Jared looks next to two guys listed at 5'8 (who Rob met): Click Here
I've seen like 7 seasons of Supernatural and a couple "movies" with Jared and he always looks huge compared to the others... These days i've seen 2-3 western movies with a young Clint and i'd expect him to look very tall next to the others, as a big 6'4 should, but he didn't TO ME. Maybe every actor was 6'+ in his era, i don't know, but I don't get that very tall impression I get from 6'4 tall actors like J. Padalecki, A. Skarsgard or J. Goldblum! Hell, even a Lance Reddick always strikes me as being very tall and that guy claims 6'2...

@Andrea, check out this video of Clint in 1967 with 5 ft 8 John Humphries. Click Here The height difference is similar to Rob and George Romero IMO. I really do think Clint was near than 6'4 mark, but as he said. 6'3.5-6'4 is arguable, but in most comparisons the fully 6'4" checks out back in 60s and 70s.

Clint is dropped a little more height I think than Wallach in that still, though I would admit at times that Wallach looked closer than he should to Clint's height at times in it, although a lot of uneven terrain doesn't help. There's one shot near the end where Eastwood I think looks 8+ inches taller than Wallach.

He was in great shape and had good posture back in the day. If you were to take away those injuries and subsequent surgeries he'd still be 6ft2 range at least now. Connery has lost about 1in from his peak.

Here's Clint walking OUTSIDE with Eli Wallach in GBU: Click Here
Rob, do you think he was wearing lifts here (Eli)? I mean, in this single shot he looks maybe about 5 inches shorter... Of course they're outside so it's hard to make a good comparison but if Clint was really 6'4 this guy didn't look under 5'9-5'10 to me in the movie! A 5'7 guy should be around the chin of a 6'4 guy!

Rob do you think 6'3.25 peak for Donald Sutherland is a possibility if clint Eastwood was 6'3.75? If Sutherland was a solid 6'3.5 there would have looked no difference between him and clint in Kelly's heroes yet clint did edge him out.
And yes I know Sutherland had 2 inches on sean connery

I think Eastwood was 6'3.5" max at peak...he never been a full 6'4"...
today he does look 6' flat and actually i have several doubts that a person can lose (with same posture) 4" in height with age, that in this case would mean more than the 5% of his body lenght...
it's also possible he was 6'3" flat...

Clint Eastwood peak height range:6'2-6'3(most likely around 190cm flat)
Nowadays:5'11-6'0,probably about 181cm(strong 5'11),really can't see him over 182 these days,and with his terrible slouch habits,he could look as low as 180cm.Just going to show you that being tall isn't always good for your body,and especially if you have a long spine,it means you could lose more height as you age,just like Clint's case,who always seemed to be physically healthy and fit(until about 2000 probably),but has already lost a good 3 inches at 85...

I watched a recent interview with Bradley Cooper on 60 Minutes. There was a brief shot of him and Eastwood walking together. I was actually a little shocked to see that Clint looked about even with Cooper — if not shorter. The younger man is reportedly listed at 6' or 6'1".

If you see him with Marvin in Paint your Wagon and Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes and Tim Matheson in Magnum Force though I still see the full 6 ft 4. 6'3.5-6'4" is arguable though, I always thought he looked about the same height as Wayne on screen.

Arch, i finally know where your name comes from... :)
I just saw "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", which is basically the first old movie with Clint i've ever seen. And, to be fair, he never struck me as a big 6'4 in that movie... Also, i was very surprised to see that Eli Wallach was only 5'7 on here, i thought he was something like 5'9-5'10 with Clint! Never looked 9 big inches shorter than him! Many scenes were outside, that's true, so it is hard sometimes to tell the real difference but still 9 inches should be a huge difference, very noticeable! I know you probably will attack to me till death, Arch, but still 6'4 should be a very tall height and he didn't look very tall at all... Again, this is the first movie i see with a young Clint so it could be just this movie, i'll try to see other movies with him ;)

Watching Django, the original from 1966 and made me realize just how badass Clint was in those westerns. Although Franco Nero can look like Clint from a distance the face and the dubbed voice isn't even a tenth of badass as Clint was. Django is a great film. but would have been much better if Clint was in ir.

I think with Clint the image people have of him is still the virile guy in his 30s and 40s. He is very elderly although still at the top of his game in terms of directing. I think that it is feasible that he may have shrunk 4 inches or thereabouts given he recently turned 85 years of age. Not all men lose this much height but then again not all men live to this age.

What could Clint have done to shrink 4 inches in height? Not even Jackie Chan who has tortured his body his entire career will shrink as much as Clint.

I believe I've lost 1/2" in just the last 3 or so years. I stand straight, still exercise with weights and have no health issues.

Arch Stanton, I thought Walcott was bigger than Clint. More stocky for sure but also slightly taller to my eyes. I've seen Walcott state that he was picked for the bad guys in some of Clint's films because he was similar size to Clint just a little bigger. I don't know for sure if he was referring to just his build or height and build but overall he was a bigger man.

mrbobh5344; You closed with the phrase, "a few other once important things". I like your attitude, as it appears that these cosmetic losses (or changes) do not matter to you, at 73. As for another poster's comment about knee surgery being partially responsable for height loss, I've read articles that say a knee replacement requires an exact fit...meaning nothing changes the length of the leg. I've lost a lot of cartilige in my right knee, but haven't lost height and nor do I sense it when I stand with my legs straight. Who knows.

...I really don't see eastwood as sad or frail looking, myself. Most peple change dramatically when they get old. Eastwood still looks the same to me. Just more wrinkles. But, he always had wrinkles. Dennis Weaver, to my recollection, aged the same way. The basic look never changed, only the hair got whiter and more wrinkles. If you took Eastwood, colored his hair and took a full body photo of him from 30 feet away, standing like Dirty Harry, he'd look right out of Sudden Impact...age 53. It's his height loss that perplexes me. One could argue he's lost 4 inches. It's not like he's bent over with crippling osteoporosis. 4 inches is dramatic. I just can't figure it.

I never believed Faldo was a legit 6'3", always thought about 6'2", but he does genuinely look near 6'3" with Clint. Clint's increasingly looking 5'11" range. I'd like to see a face off between Clint and Arnie and struggling to hit that 6' mark hehe! I still think stood his very best Clint could manage a bit over 6 ft.

Editor Rob I seen Faldo up close at an Open and he looked a big guy, 6ft 3 is believable, I think he used to claim that although added an inch and has claimed 6ft 4 recently!

Nick Faldo was 6'3" at least in the late 80s minimum. Maybe taller. Slouches pretty much as most tall golfers. He was about 3 inches taller than Ballesteros.
Rob, are there any studies that state that the taller you are the more chances of loosing height as you grow older?
For some reason that's what it seems!

I say Clint was at tops 6'3 by the time he was 50 he was 6'2 but to day looks around 6 foot...

His peak IMOP was more 6ft3 than 6ft4.He looked this height up until his mid sixties droped to 6ft2 by 70 6ft1 by 80,if he lives to 90 I would say he would drop down below 6ft.

It would be a strange feeling if it happened over night, but not when it happens gradually over 40 yrs in clints case.

...ok, back to square one. If Faldo is, indeed, 6'3 (and I'm only going by what previous posts said), no way is Eastwood anything but around 6 even. Nothing wrong with 6 even, or any height for that matter. But, if Eastwood was 6'4 peak (I think 6'3.5, myself), it's got to be a very strange feeling to be taller than even 6'2 and 6'3 guys, and then 4 inches less than you were.

Nick Faldo recently caddied for Eastwood in a charity tournament. Faldo has always been given as 6'3'' and genuinely looks it. He looks taller than Eastwood by a couple of inches when they stand together.

Food for thought; According to writer Andrew Purcell, in the article, "Straight Shooter; Jersey Boys director Clint eastwood, 84, and going strong" (The Sydney Morning Herald), Eastwood is still 6'3. Either the author felt that was his height, or Eastwood claims it. I have my doubts about 6'3, based on many comparisons. But, if either the writer or Eastwood is still claiming he's 6'3, he can't be "too" far from it. Who knows. Id have to stand next to the guy, myself, to really know. As an side, it bugs me that Eastwood alters his voice for recent movies, with all that gutteral sound. He doesn't speak like that in interviews, and...with the exception of Heartbreak Ridge (and even tht voice bugs me. I keep wanting o clear my throat when watching), didn't speak that way in movies until recent acting appearances.

sorry ROB, but even if he was working as a slave carrying bolders uphill well into his eighties, NO ONE LOSES 10CM! Either peak or current height is wrong

Editor Rob I know people who have lost 4 inches, even 5...heck, Jenny's Dad is 2 years younger than Clint and has lost at least 4 inches of height.

Just watching the dead pool. Clint is same height as neeson when they're standing on flat ground in the freezer room. It's only when they walk that neeson looks taller as clint has a terrible habit of really slouching when he walks. His spine was really bent even then

Yes DonD Clint looked about 6ft3 next to Bridges,but he looked the same height as 6ft 4 George kennedy.Im open about Kennedys height maybe he was 6ft3 also Coburn was maybe 6ft1 and Lee Marvin 6ft1 too,that would explain why Clint looked 6ft4 with these guys because their listed heights were 1inch over their real height.

In that clip with Hudson, Rock looks bigger in build than Eastwood. I'm not sure there was not much in it in terms of height.

Jervis, Eastwood two inches taller than Jeff Bridges to me.
Two inches max. Bridges was a strong 6'1" at most.

Yes Dan but only a little bit.If Hudson was 6ft4 or even 6ft3.5 then Clint would be abour 6ft3 peak,that is what I think anyway.

Jervis...I'll have to check out the Coburn and Hudson comparisons to Eastwood, but I will say that Hudson was a firmly established 6'4"--many believe 6'3.5". Therefore, if he looks, by your own admission, he looks shorter than Hudson, the he couldn't have been 6'4" even in his youth.

He can't have lost 4 inches of height, regardless of posture. If he was 6'4 at his peak it was evidently lifts. John Wayne was the same.
