I really don't think there's any debate about Clint's peak height. I read an interview with him many years ago in which he stated he was 6'4 at 15 with only one guy taller in his class - He also said he was turned down for some parts in his early career because he was too tall - why would he lie about being 6'4? Also, as many posters have pointed out he looked an easy 6'4 against Robert Urich and Tim Matheson in Magnum Force.
This pic from 3 years ago he still has a half head on a 5'7-5'8 man.

The last film I saw him in, Gran Torino, couple of years ago he still looked a 6 footer to me. Quite rare to see a 6' 80 year old man actually.
Legend said on 20/Oct/11
he was 6'4 max peak. Now could be 5'11
Manuel said on 20/Oct/11
He has a long arms and legs structure.similar to Marffan Syndrome people.i mean more long arms and legs than normal.he also looks taller in the youth films because in the last decades the middle heigh has grown in the actors.i think he was about 6'4" minimum at the beginning and maybe a bit less actually.probably his big weight change during his actors life give us different impressions of his really height
Danimal said on 20/Oct/11
Shaun says on 20/Oct/11
Yes today he can look as low as 5'11" and can still look as high as 6'1.5" at times. I think he'd measure 185cm at some point in the day.
No way is he over 6'0 3/4" at any point during the day these days. Yes, he can look 5'11" these days, next to Will Smith, Morgan Freeman and so many others. Anything 6'1" or over is out of the question.

I just fund this video of a young christopher reeve training for suoerman, and for be honest, he kind of look exactly build like a young clint eastwood, down right even for the very long legs(also kind of skinny ones, like clint):
Click Here
(it begins at the 2:14)
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
christopher reeve a solid(for me) 6ft 4 looks nearly identical build as clint eastwood in his very youth, the only mayor diference is that clint lacks the naturaly broad shoulders of reeves, clint have something between narrow to proportional, but all is similar, legs, chets(in the last pick they show similar chest size), muscle tone, so is not weird that clint once was reeve size, maybe even similar in size, after all is said that clint was 216 pound at his biggest build and reeve 215 in the first film(he bulked up more to other films), so is not surprise that he was considered for the part.
Also suporting shaun, is true not all 6ft 4 guys give right on the impresion of being big, also people fail to see that even with big shoes(like boots) 6ft 4 and 6ft 5 guys will not give always the 6ft 6 or 6ft 7 impresion because those guys have very peculiar proportions.
Shaun said on 20/Oct/11

Manganiello does he look 6 ft 6 in those shoes by proportions? To me casual glance he looks 189-190 cm range like Eric Bana sort of range. I'm not doubting that he is actually around 6'5" but he really just doesn't look it.
Shaun said on 20/Oct/11
Joe Manganiello James never looks 6 ft 5 in photographs either. He can often give a 6'2"-6'3" impression. There are some 6'4"-6'5" guys like Tim Robbins and Seagal who look massive and others who really don't look in the "super tall" range.
LAN Jiao said on 20/Oct/11
Peak 6'5 in cowboy boots added full 3cm hair. 6'0 now.
Shaun said on 20/Oct/11
Well James if you don't think Clint ever looked 6'4" check out my link on the Gary Lightbody page. Lightbody as tall as Jamie Theakston and Conan O Brien? Absolutely no chance..
James said on 20/Oct/11
Shaun says on 19/Oct/11
Well, 6'4" does seem the higher end of what you could claim for him. He could look 6'2.5"-6'3" in his films a lot. If you actually look into it he actually was 6'4" range as he had 2-3 inches on 6'1"-6'2" guys. 2 inches on Tim Matheson for instance.
clint eastwood is very masculine 'a man's man' and has that classic tough guy personality yet for some reason on screen he still does not give off that 6'4 impression that guys like steven segal do.
Shaun said on 20/Oct/11

thebad7 said on 19/Oct/11
He's an easy 6'4" in 1973's MAGNUM FORCE. That's a texbook example of a 6'4" man. He has 2" on Robert Urich and Tim Matheson; likewise he has 3 1/2" - 4" on David Soul and Hal Holbrook. The scene in which Harry meets the rookie cops at the indoor pistol range is very telling; the rookies (pay close attention to Urich & Matheson as both are 6'2") are wearing Red Wing style boots with 1" - 1 1/2" heel and Clint is in flat sneakers with less than 1" of heel. Despite the footwear advantage, the younger actors are still noticeably shorter than Clint.
@Shaun: Your post from 17 October 2011 is spot on. I do agree with you that at times he looks much shorter than what he is--as low as 5'11"--but I think that on a good day when he's stretched out properly he is still 6'1" - 6'1 1/2" range. He took photos recently with Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier, both of whom still look to be in the 6'2" range, and Clint looked shorter by 1/2" minimum/1" maximum.

Well he looked a clear 6'4" to me in Magnum Force. In his 80s films though he definitely generally looked more 6'3-6'3.5".
Yeah 6'4 is clearly evident for clint eastwood in that film when you see him next too david soul.. although i don't think he looked over 6'4 in that film.
but still shaun would u agree that you don't always associate 6'4 with clint eastwood?
Shaun said on 17/Oct/11
Remember Rob did have him as low as 6' flat a year or two ago. I still think if he said as upright as possible and straightened out he could measure around 185 barefoot. He can look as low as 5'11 at times with bad posture.

Hate to burst your bubble folks but Clint is only about 6'. I met him on a set and although still an imposing man was just my height.
James said on 14/Oct/11
EdgarHerandez i belive clint was 6'4 but do you agree that when you picture clint eastwood even in his early films you don't immediatly think in your head "he's 6'4" unlike actors such as steven seagal, jeff goldblum, liam neeson and dolph lundgren.
i just don't think clint eastwood gives off that big imposing vibe like other 6'4 men do... don't get me wrong either he looks well over 6ft but sometimes when you assocaite 6'4 with clint eastwood it does seem kinda hard too believe.
Mind you he really did look 6'4 in the ending scene off the film magnum force and various parts off the movie but he didn't look 6'4 more like 6'3 in Dirty Harry.
EdgarHernandez said on 13/Oct/11
clint couldnt be any shorter than 6ft 3.5 at worst in his younger days(more like 6ft 4), in the photo of shaun clint is(as always) looking down, that, whit a guy who have a long neck takes of you easily 1 to 2 inches, in other scene he is in straight posture and he is a very solid head taller than her( an even bigger diference, and he already have a curve in his back)
James said on 13/Oct/11
Nope 6'4 since he was almost 4 inches taller than 6'0.5 David Soul and taller than 6'2 Lee Van Cleef.
LAN Jiao said on 12/Oct/11
Clint had great voice at youth. Handsome than many hollywood co star he work with. Nowadays he develope a husky voice n what rob say dowagers hump. 6'4 listing was bs. Donald sutherland was clearly 2-3cm shorter than solid 6'4peak jeff goldblum, sutherland claim 6'4 yet proven him with goldblum he is 6'3 then clint was shorter than sutherland 1.5-2cm , that keep in mind sutherland 190-191 and clint was 189 fraction up or down.

the problem with the 6ft 1.5 claim is that we had not other proff that the word of the bond tailors who are not willing to give an answerd to the details of the measurament, also, connery will not be the only person to give a wrong height for his wole life(robert mitchum give 6ft as his height his wole life, even when that was laughable), he was measure 2 times, one in bodybuilding and other in the "bond tailors", the bond tailors sound still to fishy for me, i trusth more th body building one.

James, Sutherland was shorter than Goldblum. In Invasion Of The Body Snatcher it is obvious that Goldblum is taller. So that means at least an inch difference.
Goldblum might have been 6'4 1/2 and i did see a pic where they both looked similar in height. anyway....
in the invasion off the body snatchers
Jeff Goldblum 6'4.5 (194cm)
Donald Sutherland 6'4 (193cm)
i could imagine a peak clint eastwood would have been very similar in height too goldblum.

Bill Duke is at least 6-5. Seagal was near 6-5 in his prime.
Easrwood was six foot four in his prime. No more no less.
Stallone could be 5-8, Shaun. But no more than that.
Connery himself claimed 6-1½. He himself stated that.
Donald Sutherland has been described as six foot three frequently.

6-4 and nothing more. Seagal is six foot five by the way. Or was in his prime. Robbins is six foot five as well. Sean Connery was 6-1½ prime as he himself stated. Donald Sutherland is 6-3 and maybe some change.
Sly Stallone is 5-7.
Seagal was shorter than 6'4.5" Bill Duke. 6'5" you say?
Shaun said on 26/Sep/11
Stallone is 5'8"-5'8.5" not 5'7".

Seagal was never 6'5 closer too 6'4. robbins at 6'5 i can belive though cause he is defenintly closer too the 6'5 mark than 6'4.
Connery was a solid 6'2, stallone is 5'8-5'9 and donald sutherland wasat 6'4.
as for eastwood maybe 6'4 and some change? although he could have just been 6'4.

I played tennis next a court on which Clint Eastwood was playing at the Pebble Beach Country Club. I am 6 feet 2 and 1/2 inches. I went over to him to give him a ball that had come over onto my court. He was clearly talled than me - I would say at least 6 ft. 5 inches or perhaps 6 ft. 6 inches.
James said on 23/Sep/11
Well Shaun the fact that eastwood edged out sutherland might indicate maybe that he was a strong 6'4 like 194cm but maybe eastwood might have had footware advantage who knows?
i don't buy just 187cm for connery because he looked more than that with harrison ford.
i think if a peak clint stood with millitary posture he might measure a fraction over 6'4?
EdgarHernandez said on 23/Sep/11
shaun, do you notice that the angle of that picture is horrible?
jervis said on 23/Sep/11
I taught Jimmy Kimmel was 6ft1.The photo with Neeson he looks about 2 inches shorter.Has anybody ever seen Segal or Robbins or Freeman stand with the same bad posture as Clint.Peak height 6ft3 and a half in very good posture, normal posture 6ft2 and a half,now in very good posture 6ft1 and a half, normal posture 6ft.I think Clint can look up to 1 and a half inches shorter bacause of very bad posture , he can still look 6ft in bad posture but thats not his real hight, his real hight is when he stands up with his back stright not bent and twisted like it is in most of the photos lately.Clint Eastwood current hight 6ft1 and a half standing with stright back,aged 81 lost 2 inches because of old age,can look 6ft only because of very bad posture.

Donald Sutherland had no less than 2 inches on Connery. Eastwood edged out Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes. Are you suggesting Eastwood was in fact nearer 6'5" then if Connery was 6'2" - 6'2.5"?

Don't get me wrong, Connery looked 188-89cm peak, I agree, But remember Connery claimed to be 6'1.5" barefoot.
James said on 20/Sep/11
Shaun i agree with you on a lot off your estiamtes but i think your wrong about 6'1.5 for connery.
in 1989 he looked a solid 6'2 with 6'0.5 Harrison Ford. Also as well looked a strong 6'2 with 184cm Nicholas Cage in photos in the 90's and even in recent times he still looked 1-1.5 inches taller than nicholas cage.

i emailed the bond tailors a few months ago asking about connerys 6'1.5 measurement they refused too give me any details on it :(
at the moment i am not sure if clint eastwood was 193cm or 194cm peak? Maybe 193cm might be a safer bet judging by how much taller he appeared than 184cm david soul in magnun force.
So possibly.........
Clint Eastwood 6'4 (193cm)
Donald Sutherland 6'3.75 (192cm)
Sean Connery 6'2 (188cm)

Just happened to catch Dirty Harry (It was on, I didn't put it on, to watch, over and over). Since we're basing Eastwood's height on other actor's listed heights, if Harry Guardino was a legit 5'10, yeah...Eastwood was alot taller...but not by 6 inches. More like by 4 or 5, tops. If Guardino was 5'10, and Eastwood a legit 6'4, he'd have MORE than towered over Guardino. At 6 inches taller, your eyes are well over a 5'10 guys' head. Looking over past posts, it's true; Guys like Chuck Connors looked "big" and "lean". Eastwood looks tall and skinny. I really have to move on from this. lol
James said on 17/Sep/11
Would u guys agree that clint eastwood looked an easy 6'4 with donald sutehrland in kellys hearoes?
Sutherland can't be under 193cm when you see him next too 188cm sean Connery.
in the pic with then 194cm liam neeson clint eastwood looks 6'2.75 (190cm) or maybe a bit more if he stood better.
Maybe theres a chance that morgan freeman might be more 187cm today?

james said some time ago that there is a small chanse that clint could be 6ft 2 if he forces posture as much he can, well, the last photo is from this year, and clint for a big part of the pictures is not forcing posture and actually looking shorter than morgan freeman, but in this one clint look just .5 less than freeman and in match with sidney poiter, so, i not say that 6ft 2 is sure, but 6ft 1.5 is posible.

i chose this 2 pictures bacause we see a clear shot of clint full back. Notice that is one of the few, if no the only times were clint have a gut,also, notice that his back, is very straight in the top, his rib cage is very straight looking, but look close tho the lower back, it looks "colapsed" wich let me with the irony that he is losing height like charlton heston, if you notice heston, he losed height like his hips and lower back just fused togeter and crumble at the same time, same with clint, if clint have done streching exercises and ab workouts this could have been avoided.

1973's MAGNUM FORCE should put to rest any of this "peak 6'2"/peak 6'3"" crap regarding Eastwood. He had several 6'2" actors by 2"; likewise, in '74 and '75 he did THUNDERBOLT & LIGHTFOOT and THE EIGER SANCTION back to back. He looked the same height as legit 6'4" actors George Kennedy and Gregory Walcott. He was a tall, lanky guy in his younger days.

Thank you, Danimal. Finally, some sanity regarding Eastwood's weight. Danimal, what's your opinion of David Soul's height, as that seems to be the standardbearer around here upon which to base Eastwood's. None of any of this really matters, but it's good for kicks. Soul, to me, was never 6'1...unless in his platform shoes.

@James: Good work on the shots of Clint with Carl Lewis. Too bad we can't tell if the ground the men are standing on is level, or what kind of shoes they're wearing. Lewis has better posture; Clint's a bit more loose with legs slightly spread. I think if he was standing at military attention--as Lewis basically is--I'd give Clint no more than 6'1" flat today in 2011 at age 81.

Mike! lean, not skinny dumbass. with a 12% bodyfat I'm 240-260lbs, because I've a much thicker torso and hips the clint ,I would be heavier, but clint was packin some decent guns in his day so 215 -220lbs would not be out of line, and a toothpick like you ot a base wiegt of under 170 wouldn't have a clue what those extra inches would weigh
Clint was not 215-220 pounds back in the day. He was 190 pounds soaking wet.
Mike said on 14/Sep/11
Well, now. It appears we have the group that insists Eastwood was at least 6'5, peak, if not 7 foot, and we have the 6'3.5 peak, with a lighter weight (more reasonable), and then the 365 pound, oversensitive types who can't control their anger.lol All this over an 81 year old's former height. The guy was tall and skinny. Even with big arms for a couple of movies, his legs were pencils. And he's got those long, veiny arms that "look" muscular, but aren't as big as you think.
Mark said on 14/Sep/11
Uhm, Havok, is it? Thanks for the kind, mature words. Maybe you didn't read my post, clearly; "How the heck can a 365 pound guy know that his "lean" self is the same as Eastwood's "lean" self?" It still stands. Eastwood has always been "sknny", lean or not. I'm currently 205. Next to a 365 pound, fat man, everyone is a toothpick. As for my not having a clue, I've been working out longer than you've been alive, likely, have a degree in exercise nutrition and can still press over 300. You clearly didn't like my reaction in a previous post, to your absurd assumption, because your recent post is just a series of name calling over-reactions.lol Eastwood was aways "skinny", even when his arms were bigger. Alot of hero worship here, with the guy. That could be due to any number of problems with feeling inadequate. I just like his movies, and USED to think he was a solid 6'4.

Mike! lean, not skinny dumbass. with a 12% bodyfat I'm 240-260lbs, because I've a much thicker torso and hips the clint ,I would be heavier, but clint was packin some decent guns in his day so 215 -220lbs would not be out of line, and a toothpick like you ot a base wiegt of under 170 wouldn't have a clue what those extra inches would weigh
James said on 13/Sep/11
Shaun maybe 6'0 (183cm) now in 2011?
I know its remarkable how he's lost so many inches because he was a legit 6'4 up untill the mid 1970's.
Shaun said on 13/Sep/11
The Carl Lewis photo has at least convinced he aint anyway near 6'2" any longer even with immaculate posture. Its crazy how much height he has lost.
Shaun said on 13/Sep/11
Jusging by the background there is a slope and Lewis is on higher ground. Still though Eastwoo'd legs are 2-3 inches longer than Lewis's If Eastwood had Lewis's torso he'd be 6'6" range. I am yet to see anybody photographed with Clint with longer legs.
Shaun said on 13/Sep/11
Clint comes across as more grumpy on screen than bad ass I'd say.

Granted Carl is a little closer too the camera and the ground might be uneven compared too him Clint Eastwood looks 182 or 183cm.
Rob do you think possibly clint might be under 184cm today judging by the photos with carl? or do you think like shaun said his posture might have something too do with him not looking his tallest?

Editor Rob
he could be still near it when measured

Shaun would u not agree like steven seagal and vinnie jones clint eastwood is another badass guy who plays himself on screen?

You mean do you think Hugh Jackman looks like a young Clint Eastwood? Facially they are similar I guess, especially if he has a beard but Jackman has darker coloring and has less chiselled features than Clint had in his prime.
remember hugh jackman as wolverine in x men 1? he looked just like clint eastwood did in dirty harry esspecially when his hair was all buffed up.
anyway hugh jackman and clint eastwood are constantly on the look a likes list.
type into google "clint eastwood lookalike" and u will see what i mean.

How the heck can a 365 pound guy know that his "lean" self is the same as Eastwood's "lean" self? My "lean" self has been everything from 148, to 170, to 190, to 205. Nobody can look as narrow as Eastwood always did, and not be skinny. 6'3-ish for his prime years, and 190-plus.

Yeah i notice how long clint eastwoods legs were in the good, the bad and the ugly. also in diry harry when he's walking too a diner at the start of the film his legs looked super long.
thebad7 said on 5/Sep/11
@Shaun: I think it was you who observed just how long Eastwood's legs were/are a few months back, and I agree with you on that point. Eastwood had the legs of a 6'5" - 6'6" man, and this is especially noticeable in Sergio Leone's Dollars Films. He was a long, lanky guy.

Shaun said on 4/Sep/11
His legs give the game away that he used to be very tall. Nobody looks that out of proportion unless they've lost some seirious height form their torso. And you look at Clint's proportion in Kelly's Heroes or something walking down the street and his torso almost matches his legs. But those legs are really similar length to a legit 6'5"- 6'6" guy. If you've seen some of the side by side photos with Tim Robbins Eastwood actually has longer legs than him by an inch or two and Robbins is a legit 6'5".
Shaun said on 4/Sep/11
LThe reason why Di Caprio is not under 5'11" is because he is at least two inches taller than Gisele Bundchen in barefoot beach photos. Bundchen is NOT under 5'9".

thebad7 said on 3/Sep/11
@James: I don't have a problem with 6'1 1/2" for him in '05. The problem with him is that defined curve in his upper back. Sometimes he looks taller, and sometimes he looks shorter depending on how much he can stretch himself out. I just watched MILLION DOLLAR BABY--2004 shoot, late '04/early '05 release--and he looked about the same as 6'2" Morgan Freeman, or just a bit shorter, so I'd go for 6'1 1/2" - 6'2" range.

Shaun maybe his posture is fooling us into into thinknig he is only 6ft range?
Either that or dicaprio is 5'10 (178cm) like some say he is which unlikely.

Good grief, looks at how disproportionate his legs are to his torso. His legs still look like that of a 6'5"-6'6" guy but his torso looks like that of a 5'8" guy. That's where he's lost all his height.
Shaun said on 3/Sep/11

Even stopping here, again Clint looks a good 6'2" next to DiCaprio. Rob is there any chance that if Clint actually stood up straight today and straightened his back he could measure 6'2"? Because he can still look around that height at times.

Editor Rob
I think his spine is curved a fair bit, like some men he could always measure an inch more than he generally looks, but I'm not sure 6ft 2 though
Shaun said on 3/Sep/11

With 5'11.5" Leo di Caprio. Even accouting for road slope Eastwood actually looks 6'2" range. Looks a good 3 inches taller than DiCaprio. Perhaps we can better assess it at the Premiere for the latest movie and see how they compare.

I read up earlier in this article that princess diana met clint eastwood at the fugetive premier in 1993 and before attending the premier after party with clint eastwood she joked about his height, and said roughly along the lines off "I will not have too look hard too find you since you will be the tallest man at the party"

@James: I'm using the first two photos as reference. The third photo is a bit weird, especially with the lens being right on top of Sean Penn. If Robbins is 6'5"--which I believe him to be--Clint looks about 3" shorter to my eye, so I'm going to stick with roughly 6'2" at that time. Today, 6'1" for Clint.

Legend and that is why most people don't picture clint eastwood as a big 6'4 man because he was only briefly that height. esspecially th younger generation.
his film carrier only really properly took off in the late 1950's and even then people were not that familiar with him. he only became a househould name and very well known in 1964 when he did a fistul off dollars and became even better known when he did the good the bad and the ugly.
this could be hte reason why people see clint eastwood as being 6'2 or 6'3.

I suport james in the fact that clint was at one time a broad guy(when he workout enought) first let see one interesthing video:
Click Here
that is charlton heston at 1:22, charlton hesto was neither skinny nor small, in fact heston was legendary for his heroic build with massive chest and shoulders, wich are very noticeable in the planet of the apes were he is nearly the full movie shirtless and easily looking like twice as broad as the whole cast:
Click Here
the ground i awful, wich makes hesto look like he is the same height as roddy mcdowall, but just looking at heston proporcions and build make one realize that the guy was huge. Look the video, clint nearly mach heston in muscular level, and he looks abaut 1 to 1.5 inch taller, heston at the lowest that i imagine him is at 6ft 2.5 maybe more like 6ft 2.75, and the higest at 6ft 3.25, in fact there are alot of curius shots of heston and george kennedy, a guy who cant be argue that he was anything less than 6ft 4
Click Here
heston and kennedy are walking side by side in airport and they look nearly matched in size.
Click Here
in this shot from earthquake he and kennedy are nearly the same in height(kennedy with a edge in heston by maybe an 1, skip to 9:20 to see it)
clint shows the same height diference between george and heston, george is a legit 6ft 4 or at last he was that height for a very long time and he dont drop that height until very recent times, but in the 70s he was still a trong 6ft4, and it shows in how little heigh diference there is between him and heston( a guy who i belive was 6ft 3), the central point in this is george kennedy, a guy who was build like john wayne(they boot have alot of phisical similaritys and oddly they both used to be football players), they boot show th same height diference from heston, the only thing that dont match is clint body who is
complety diferen of the 2 who are big and broad.

that last clip is from lightfoot and thunderbolt, clint fights george kennedy and they are match in height but they look complety the opositive in body tipes.

@James: You're correct about Eastwood in BLOOD WORK. He looked to be about 6'2" in that film, and he looked to be about 6'2" a few years later in MILLION DOLLAR BABY. For his last acting gig--to date--in GRAN TORINO, he looked just a bit under 6'2". Today, about 6'1" for an 81 year old Eastwood.
Eastwood was unique in the sense that he played tough guys that carried these layers of emotional baggage--his characters either suffer a terrible loss, or they are plagued by guilt and placed into a situation where they are given a chance to redeem themselves. No doubt--his characters are tough, and self-reliant. Also, they have a sense of right from wrong--they will play dirty if necessary, but they never go out of their way to hurt innocents, and I've always liked that about the Eastwood persona. I disagree completely with the idea of John Wayne playing Harry Callahan. First of all, Wayne was too old for the role--never mind the fact that the original Harry Callahan was meant to be a man in his late 50/early 60s. Second, Clint brought that emotional complexity to the Harry Callahan character and made him a real person--not some unrealistic, cartoonish, invincible Superman. You'll see this especially in the first film when he speaks to Chico Gonzalez' (Reni Santoni) wife about how he lost his wife to a drunk driver and how Chico ought to quit the force as it's no life for them--a young and in love married couple. The sadness that Clint projects from behind those Ray Ban Baloramas is complete--and a testament to his ability as an actor. So, no--Clint Eastwood IS Harry Callahan, and nobody else could have done it better.
As a young man, there's no doubt Eastwood was tall, and 6'4" sounds right for him. Not 6'4 1/2" or 6'5"--just plain ol' flat 6'4" for most of the day. In fact, his body type back then reminds me of Liam Neeson--himself a 6'4" man. Just look at his work in the '60s: he has strong 6'2" Lee Van Cleef by a inch and some change; likewise, in the '70s, he looked exactly the same height as George Kennedy and Gregory Walcott, both of whom were 6'4" as well. By '92, he looked to be a strong 6'3"--he was noticeably taller than legit 6'2" actors Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman in UNFORGIVEN. By 2005, he looked to be hovering around 6'2"--about the same or just a hair shorter than Freeman. Today, he looks to be about 6'1".

James, you are delusional. Six foot five is for people like Steven Seagal and Tim Robbins.
Im now watching Machete. Seagal, at the age of 57 and about 300lbs still looks huge. In his opening scene he looks much more towering than Eastwood ever did. And he is also listed at 6-4. To me it is obvious that Seagal in his prime was at least an inch taller than Eastwood. And Seagal is listed as 6-4. He could be more.
Tim Robbins looked huge in Shawshank Redemption. MUCH more taller than Clinton ever did. And he is supposedly "only" 6-4½. He looks about two inches taller than Clint ever did.
6-4 I can buy. 6-5 is ridiculous. Mike and Terryman, I agree with you.
Seagal was never a proper 6'5. Robbins is virtually around the 6'5 mark and at least 194cm. Difference is Seagal and Robbins have much better posture than eastwood because there proud of being so tall.

...ok, took a break, but nothing new to sway me one way or the other. I'm 6 even, and can see over the top of the head of someone 5'7. So, if Eastwood was 6'4...for most of the time and not just out of bed, his eyes would be over anyone 5'11. I do not see that tall a man in him, ever. He's tall, but not 6'4 tall. Over 6'4 is ludicrous. I don't know why, because I've been an Eastwood fan for decades. But the more I watch other tough guy movies, like John Wayne ones or The Rifleman TV series, the less I care for the type of character Eastwood always played. I still like his movies, but, like Mike said, there's a certain degree of character missing from his characters. Just my opinion.
James said on 27/Aug/11
Nonsense Clint Eastwood was a very big guy (not in terms of broadness) vertically.
Anything over 6'3 is very big. At 6'4 you can look massive if you have an impsosing build. if your fat at 6'3 1/2 or 6'4 you will look really big but not massive.

...Not 6'2 barefoot, but not a full 6'4, either, unless right out of bed. Again, 6'3.5. As an aside, I read John Wayne was considered for Dirty Harry, but turned it down. I never thought I'd say this, even though I like Wayne and have liked Eastwood movies, but I wish Wayne had done it. Maybe not with that 70's toupee, but his 1960 one, and he'd have brought a certain degree of character to the role, that Eastwood did not. Back to Eastwood's height; Anyone who's ever met any stars in person, knows that 90% of them are not qute as tall or big as they look on screen. That aside, all the comparisons to other actors (Soul was never 6'1) show Eastwood to be tall, but not big, big guy tall. 6'4 P-E-A-K....barely scraping.

In '77 when Eastwood did THE GAUNTLET, he was more muscular than what he was ten years earlier, but he still had that lanky look. He was still about 6'4" at the time.

at peak only 1-2cm shorter than tim robbins and 2-3cm shorter than vince vaughn.
In the pics with hackman by that time would have already a good 1 inch in height in height for sure.

Looked always taller than legit 6'2 Gene Hackman in the pics posted by James, he was 63y at that time so he might have still losed a small fraction.
6'3.5 at peak isn't out of question, he was a very tall man indeed, he towered over pretty much everyone in his old movies, but I don't buy the full 6'4.
He looked even taller than 6'3.5 because of his lanky frame, I have his same build so I know what I'm talking about.

Chuck Connors had about half a foot on Garner. Garner was about 6-1 and maybe some change prime. Clinton at the age of 65 was a couple of inches shorter than Seagal.
In The Dollar flicks he was pretty much even with Lee Van Cleef. Maybe an inch taller, I cant remember any signicant difference. In Escape From Alcatraz Clinton was the same height as the 6-3 listed Wolf.
Clinton was clearly a tall tall man in his prime. At least six foot three and probably an inch or so more. But forget James that dumb praise talk. This man is a colossal egotist and a lousy @@shole.
Mike said on 23/Aug/11
I've seen that Eastwood/Garner footage, before. No good comparisan shots. And, like others here, I think Garner was 6'1 to 6'1.5...and that's based on his 1960's movies. In the above-mentioned clip, Eastwood may edge out garner, but looks like a twig.

James, and I'm sure Rob can vouch for this is is rare to lose any height at all under the age of 50. A few mm is possible in your forties but Eastwood seriously did not begin to lose height until his early fifties. I mean he was still a strong 6'3" even ten years later.
well clint eastwoods height loss is remarkable so its very much possible that he started shrinking in his 40's. he did manage too hang on too 6'3 range for almost 20 years.

You used to. And if he was that height James in this sixties you see how absurd it is that people think he was just 6'2" in his twenties LOL.

in the early 90's i presume gene hackman was in his early 60's. so would have been 187cm by that time right?
Clint Eastwood does look a solid 6'3 in comparison

James Garner was never ever 6-2. He claimed six foot three but was in reality about 6-1 or so. Chuck Connors who was six foot six had 5-6 inches on him.

James, give it up. Theres no need to go to the big five section with Clinton. That goes for guys like Vince Vaughn, Christopher Lee and Tim Robbins. In 1967 (or so) article Clint was described as "lanky six foot three" or so. Yes, he was most likely taller by about an inch but lets leave it there. A lean, long-limbed 6-3½ - 6-4 guy can easily give an illusion of a much taller man.
Have you seen him with david soul in the video i posted? And so what if he was described as 6'3. If I recall Vince Vaugh was described as 6'3 once as well.

Closer too 6'5 than 6'3 peak. And NO i don't mean he was 'litterally' 6'5 becasue he probably was not but you get the picture?
Defenintly 6'5 in the morning in his younger days. 6'4 morning in 1988.

Sorry shaun but he was a strong 6'4 throughout the 50's 60's and early 70's and then his ostreoporis kinda started in 1974 or 1975 where he shrunk down too 6'3 range. his height loss did begin in the early too mid 70's.
In thunderbolt and lightfoot his posture was very bad but there is a chance eastwood might have dipped down from 193cm too 194cm by the time off that movie.
He was a 6'4 range for only 2-3 decades really. can i point out as well that after 35 you start too kinda lose bone mass and its all downhill from there. 35 is when you reach your peak off bone mass. hence why clint eastwood looked at his peak off fitness and strength in the good the bad and the ugly and for a few dollars more.
clint eastwood was obviously quite prone too ostreoporis so its not unreasnable at all the idea off him losing height in his mid 40's
In the enforcer possibly 6'3 1/2 (192cm) on the nose. In Sudden Impact and Deadpool 6'3.25 (191-192cm).
Overall at his peak he was a 194cm guy who could look no higher than 190cm because off posture and proportions. Stand a peak liam neeson and clint eastwood next too each other and i assure you they would been identical in height. when you see clint eastwood next too neeson in deadpool that gives you a good idea off how much height he already lost by 1988.
Mike said on 19/Aug/11
Jmaes Garner, though I love him in most things, is not a good judge of height, regarding Eastwood. Garner claimed, on the Tonight Show, he used to be 6'4, but was down to 6'2 or less, in the 70's. If he was 6'4, then not only did he only work with giants, but Carson had to have been 6'2, which is crazy. Garner and Carson were shown together many times, particularly on a Laugh-In installment, and Garner looked maybe an inch and a half or two inches taller than the 5'10 to 5'11 Carson. Back to Garner, he's a good 3 to 4 inches shorter than 6'5 Chuck Connors in Move Over Darling (1963), and a good 3 to 4 inches shorter than Tom Selleck in Rockford Files. No way he was ever 6'4, and clearly not a good judge of height,as truly is the case with most people. When I see my reflection outside of a store window, I look really bulky and muscular. Once inside, say in a mirror, it's like I lose 30 pounds. Lighting, being on film, etc, all twist things around a bit. I wish we could all go back in time and go up to Eastwood and just measure the guy barefoot. Solve alot of trivial problems.

James says on 17/Aug/11 He fell down from 193-194cm too 191-192cm between 1973-1977. Would u guys not agree that clint looked broad and muscular in the good the bad and the ugly? In a fistful of dollars still looked quite skinny and lanky. he was probably 6'4 flat if not a fraction more in his prime. 191cm in 1979? Sorry James you're wrong. See him next to the door frame in the Sudden Impact in 1983. Was a STRONG 6'3" in the early 80s 6'3.5" possible. Hell he even looked 6'3"-6'3.5" in 1988. I really do not think he dipped under 6'4" until his early 50s. 1980-1982 period. I think he was the full 6'4" throughout the entire 50s, 60s and 70s.
In 79 6'3.25 (191cm) which is pushing 192cm.

Thats what you keep saying, James. But theres no proof for 6-4½ other than that he was taller than Donald Sutherland who was by the way about two inches shorter than Jeff Goldblum and who looked about 6-3 most of his career.
6-5: Robbins, Vaughn, Hudson, Hayden
6-4½: Goldblum, Seagal, Neeson, O`Brien
6-4: Eastwood, Baldwin, Ryan

Mike, agreed. In HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER Clinton looked very thin and flat-chested. Edgar, thanks for your post, excellent as usual.
Mike said on 17/Aug/11
Legend and Adam2 have it as close to reality as you'll get. Regarding my confusing things, I'm sorry, but I've confused nothing. Today, I saw a guy outside, sun on him, and his arms looked super muscular. Once in the store and up close, he didn't look nearly as big, or muscular. Outdoor lighting and being on film add size and make muscle stand out, as was the case with Eastwood in alot of his bare arms scenes. I bulked up to 205 (around 6 feet), benching 275, last year, and a pic my wife took of me outside made me look like I was this huge, stocky guy, around 250. I don't dispute Eastwood's muscle or strength, but even in High Plains Drifter, he looked skinny as a rail, with or without a coat on, shoulders included. Alot of guys I know claim 6 feet. Some are taller than me, some are shorter. It's the same with 6'4. Eastwood was a weak 6'4, effected by hair and maybe a body stretched out by a night's sleep. Generally 6'3 to 6'3.5, in the day. If you want to dispute all the 70's and 80's move magazines that I read that said weight 190, no sweat. But, those claims ar as legit as anything else in print. Look up what a skinny guy of 6'3 to 6'4 should weigh, with no body fat, and toss in a few pounds for muscle, depending on time of career.

He was 6'4 flat peak. But his peak ended quickly and he has lost a lot of height. He was 6'3 for most of his career as a result and is about 5'11.5 now days.
EdgarHernandez said on 17/Aug/11
Mike, you are confusing things, first, muscle is havier and ocupes less espace than fat, for example, my father is for all person who know him a slim guy, wears 34 waist pants(and some times that is to big for him) and weights 178 pounds.
Lets see, acording to what i search clint peaked in weight in every wich you can but lose, in this clip he ended shirtless and looking the broadest that i have ever see him, also he looks pretty tall(6ft 3.5 i am stimate):
Click Here have little to no fat, the only thing that he dont got is abs but for any other thing he looks ripped. Know the duke, is listend as 225 at his peak(i think when he was a star football player) and during big part of his carer, before he gained to much weight. The reason is that most people asume big weight eaquals being fat or being arnold huge, wich is not the case, because alot of persons have to deal with small bone structure, just compare their phics in their very very yount:
clint eastwood:
Click Here this is john wayne in his very yount:
Click Here you can see, clint is proportioned very diferent from John wayne, clint have very long legs(wich have avoid to him for the moment to drop below his actual height) while john wayne have proportional legs, also clint have a very small bone structure, so for him to look the way he looks he need to work hard to put muscle over him, while john wayne just have to exersice once a while and keep his weight low. John wayne no matter the weight or the time always have a very big bone structure wich could have been a big part of his weight, clint is one of the perfects example of an extomorph who work hard to get his mucles, john wayne is an mesomorph who gained weight for age and normal self idulgence.
If you want to put a kinny example of a tall guy go with jimmy stewart who have one of the scrawniest bodies i ever seen, he even was aware of this:

Eastwood had a sinewy, lanky build--this is especially evident in the '50s & '60s--as a Universal contract player, then through his first success with RAWHIDE, and on to his breakouts in the Dollars Films. Even in the early '70s, Clint retained that lanky look. To my eye, it wasn't until about the mid 1970s that Clint really started to bulk up--you can see it in his arms, chest, and shoulders. I think he really got serious about heavy weight training at this time--though he'd been doing weight training for years; there are pictures of him in the '50s working with archaic cable machines available on the Internet. If you look at him in 1975's THE EIGER SANCTION, the two "Clyde" films from 1978 and 1980, and 1979's ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, there is a noticeable, marked difference in him then compared to the beginning of that decade--by the end of the '70s he had a thicker build. This continued well into the 1980s and 1990s. Just last night HEARTBREAK RIDGE was on Encore, and last week, 1990's THE ROOKIE--he was lean, but noticeably muscular in those films. For a man then in his late 50s/early 60s, Clint was in terrific shape, and even today at 81, he's still looking very good.
@Shaun: You're spot on with your comment on Clint's body weight. I can buy Clint at 190 - 200 lbs. circa 1967 and THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. Fast forward ten years to 1977, I can see Clint at 210 - 220 lbs. and very convincingly on a (then) 6'4" frame. And yes--muscle weighs more than fat.

James said on 17/Aug/11
In Hearbreak Ridge and the Deadpool robbins would have been 1-1.5 inches taller than clint eastwood.
you have too admit in the good, the ugly and the ugly clint eastwood looked rather broad shouldered in that film. he defenintly quite big but then again i think his clothing might have made him look bigger?
adam2 said on 17/Aug/11
Clinton never weighed 225lbs. That is rubbish. He has narrowish shoulders and zero fat. He was about 6-3½ of sinew. In Playboy Interview 1973 he is described as 6-4 and 197 lbs which certainly sounds bang on.
He was never over 6-4. Nor did he have huge shoulders. Nor did he weigh well over 200 lbs. John Wayne was often listed as 6-4 and 225lbs and he looked FAR more bigger and broader than Clinton.
jervis said on 16/Aug/11
I dont think Everett Mcgill was 6ft5 i find it hard to belive that Mcgill was the same hight as John Cleese and Tim Robbins.Clint was the same hight as him in Heart Break Ridge,but if you look at Clint with Robbins its hard to belive that if you put the current hight Clint next to the Clint in 1985 there would be such a big hight difference of up to 4 inches.If you watch the film White Hunter Black Hart i think its from 1990,there is an english actor called Clive Mantel in it,he is listed as 6ft5 and a half and has at least 3 inches on Clint,he also towers Jeff Fathy who is listed at 6ft by a lot more than Clint in that film.Clint in the film aged 60 looks about 6ft2 and a half max.3 inches on Burt in City Heat 4 inches on Sheen in the Rookie.I also notice with Clint he looks a very tall man on his own in sceans and you expect him to tower average hight actors such as Sheen but he never seems to look 6 or 7 inches taller as he should he only looks 4 or 5 inches,not convincing as 6ft4 to me.As for Wolcott and Kennedy 6ft3 max for both.Kennedy in Bonanza with Blocker same hight, Blocker 3 inches shorter than Clint Walker in photo i saw on this sight befor.Kennedy 1 inch taller than 6ft2 Lee Van Cleef in clip i saw on this sight when they were face to face.This also leaves the chance that Clint was 6ft2 and a half peak because he could have been half an inch shorter than both Wolcott and Kennedy.So Clint has lost about 1 or 1 and ahalf inches from his peak is now 6ft1ish and can look shorter or taller depending on posture it makes a lot more sence than a loss of 4inches.
James said on 16/Aug/11
He was a 6'4.25 (194cm) ectomorph. He's no dolph lundgren or Hugh Jackman in terms of muscle.
Shaun said on 16/Aug/11
Sorry Mike but you are underestimating how much muscle weighs. A guy who is as high as 6 ft 4 inches with broad shoulders and muscle tone will easily weigh 210. OK, Eastwood didn't have an ounce of fat on him but muscle weighs more than fat. I personally would have estimated him 200-210.
Mike said on 15/Aug/11
... I was a firm believer in 6'4 for Eastwood, up until like a year ago (in his prime). But, seriously, based on many comments here, I believe there is a "desire" for Eastwood to be at least 6'4, if not impossibly taller. Terry; You can't look at one scene to compare heights. You have to look at as many scenes as possible, with the same two actors, and from as many movies as possible. In both Joe Kidd and The Eiger Sanction, Wolcott is generally bigger and slightly taller looking than Eastwood. As for Eastwood's weight, Eastwood at 215 in '73 is absurd. I doubt he weighed 200, soaking wet. I always read 190, long before the internet. Others can go with numbers they find, but I go with 190 average, "maybe" 200 to 210 peak. Not a pound more. Hardly a rail? Are we watching the same movies?

THe Eiger Sanction was, indeed, on the other day (on demand). That guy, last name Wolcott...he's listed as 6'4, and was clearly taller than Eastwood, just like he was in Joe Kidd. If we're going to go by heights listed on another site, which for whatever reason have now been limited in terms of being mentioned, and Wolcott was 6'4, Eastwood was under that by at least half an inch. Also, to look skinny..not thin, but skinny on film, do you know how thin you have to be in real life? Eastwood must have been and still be a rail.
Eastwood reportedly weighed 225 pounds in Every which way but loose and 216 pounds in 1973. Sorry I would hardly call that rail thin. His skinny legs and chiselled jawline may have given you that impression but if you actually see his physique in say High Plains Drifter in the bathtub he has surprisingly broad shoulders and muscle tone. Of course he is naturally an ecto and slender built but he had more muscle and broadness than you give him credit for. And at 6 ft 4 215 is fair, much like it was with Christopher Reeve, still slender muscle tone. A rail thin is Peter Crouch who is pushing 6 ft 8 and 170 pounds.
I think Clint Eastwodo had too work hard for his muscle. Hugh Jackman is similar in appearene tooo Clint Eastwod except he can build way easier. Don't think it has much too do with the fact he was 2 inches shorter than eastwood.
Hugh Jackman is a more mesomorphic of a young clint eastwood.

No less than 191-192cm range in Heartbreak Ridge and would have probably had nearly 1 inch on Everett McGill.
In Deadpool still 191-192cm range since he was 1 inch shorter than 194cm Neeson. Giving off a 188-189cm illusion with his arched back. his spine must have been a wreck by the time of Deadpool.
i think he may have been 194cm at his peak appearing shorter like 6'3 cause of his proportions and posture. Possibly 194cm up untill 1974 or 1975.
Only 1 inch shorter than Neeson who was a strong 6'4 back then so he was still 6'3 in 1988 and was that height up untill 1994.

James, Patricia Clarkson who appeared opposite Eastwood in the Dead Pool looked about a foot shorter than him right. She's listed on i m d b as 5'5". I think its BS. I estimate her at 5'3". No way is she 5'5", see the scene when she walks into the room and mention the charges against Callaghan. 5'2"-5'3" range. Eastwood looked a solid 6'3" I thought, 6'3"-6'3.5" compared to a 6'4.25 Neeson

If you think about it Donald Sutherland being 2 inches than 188-189cm Sean Connery would put Sutherland at 6'4.25 (194cm) and clint eastwood having an edge on Sutherland in Kellys Hearoes would mean Eastwood 6'4.75 (195cm) for clint eastwood.
this would be the case IF Connery was still 6'2.25 (189cm) in 1979 which he may have not been? I have a hard time seeing clint eastwood as being 195cm though. If Connery was not over 188cm in the late 70's and if sutherland was not over 193cm that would still put eastwood at 194cm.

well remember mike even though his hair was high with David Soul clint eastwood stood with a bit of a stoop next too him.
i think he was 6'4 guy that might have carried himself around at 6'3 with bad slouching posture. Tim Robbins is a 6'4-6'5 guy who is proud off being very tall and has a lot of confidence hence why he can pull off looking taller just by the way he carries himself.
6'4 guys like liam neeson and clint eastwood walk around at 6'3 because there not so secure or confident about there height. as for jeff goldblum he does not really slouch but i don't really think jeff is as tall as 194cm.
James said on 5/Aug/11
remember he was only 1 or 1.5 inches shorter than 193-194cm liam neeson in the deadpool. So either 6'3 or 6'3.5 in that film.
Mike said on 5/Aug/11
...Truthman has it better than most. More and more, and after looking at all posted photos and many not on this site, I just don't go for a 6'4 Eastwood, despite the desire, for some, to have him that height..or taller. 6'3 makes much more sense, and explains not only his height..relative to other actors, but how he could be the height he is, today. A 6'3 guy in his 40's could be measured within a few minutes of getting out of bed, or right after lounging on something like a recliner, on a movie set, and be up to an inch taller. "I'M" an inch taller in the morning. So, yeah, I'm sure at some point, Eastwood could claim 6'4. But, on average, 6'3 makes much more sense. He's super skinny. Makes him look taller, on film. Kennedy's shoulders were much higher than Eastwoods, as were Wolcott's. And I love how there is such certainty that other actors listed heights are actual, when using them to make a judgement about Eastwoods height.

Unsure about 3.5 inches. I watched this movie recently. It's looks like he was 6'4 with hairs, 6'3 without. 6'3 isn't silly James, take into account he was 5 inches shorter than 6'7-6'7.5 Magic Johnson in 1980
James said on 5/Aug/11
he was a legit 6'4 man. 6'3 is really silly.

Truthman, where on earth, did you see Clint as high as Marvin ? I know very well that famous picture. He looks terribly tall there! The same with tall stars as G. Kennedy.

He was never over 6'3. You fanboys don't have ANY proof of 6'4 Eastwood. All your proof is stupid photos when Clint Eastwood have huge camera advantage. Show me only 1 photo of Eastwood looks same height as 6'4 guy with normal angle and similar position from camera and i would buy 6'4 for him. Not a photo with Hudson when Eastwood clearly about foot closer to camera (on same photo he looks same height as 6'2 Lee Marvin with similar camera disadvantage as Hudson has compared to Eastwood).

In Escape from Alcatraz did not appear over 191cm.
Yer I watched that,good film,yer id say he looked 6'3 in the film,but I noticed his posture was awful,especially with his top off you could see the bend in the top of his back,would have probably taken 1.5 inches of height off him with that posture.
At times in that film just looked normal tall as opposed too very tall.

the thought of eastwood wearing lifts is laughable.I read in a biography about him that he was insecure about his height when he was young hence the slouching to try and look shorter.And if you look at him when he stands still he always leans his weight on one leg again making him appear shorter and adding to his bad posture.
James said on 2/Aug/11
yeah eastwood only looked slightly shorter than neeson
James said on 1/Aug/11
In this scene in Sudden Impact looks 6'3.5 (192cm) perhaps?

Uhm..Gus? You are still assimuning that Soul, stilts or not, was exactly 6'1 in Magnum Force, or at any other time in his life. Please cite the proof.

Two points to keep in mind about Eastwood today:
1. The man is 81 years old: at peak, he was 6'4", and he used to tower over just about everyone in Hollywood. He held his own against tall actors like George Kennedy and Lee Van Cleef early in his career; and Liam Neeson, Kevin Cosnter and Morgan Freeman later in his career. Today, Eastwood looks at the most to be around 6'1" - 6'1 1/2". I just saw some photos recently of Eastwood together with Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier. Freeman and Poitier look to be around 6'2" today, and Eastwood looks just a bit shorter than them--perhaps a difference of 0.5" - 1". I believe the men had similar footwear (dress shoes to complement tuxedos/suits).
2. I've seen a good many recent photos of him (2007-present) and in many of these photos, he is pictured with people like George Clooney, Brad Pitt,
Matt Damon, etc. The common denominator between those three is that they are all under six feet tall, and it seems that they like elevator shoes, platforms, etc. If these actors--all of whom are in the 5'10" - 5'11" range--are wearing shoes that give them 2" or 3", then they're going to look even with non-peak Eastwood.
I don't believe that Clint Eastwood ever wore lifts in his career, and I don't think that he would start now. Even now as an older man, he's still a tall guy.

Rob why would clint eastwood need a wheelchair just because off lost height?

Editor Rob
his back if he loses 2 more inches might be in a state where he needs one to get around in!
thebad7 said on 1/Aug/11
@Danimal: Wrong. He did not start losing height until the early 1990s when he was in his early 60s. Having looked at recent photos of him with Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier, 6'1" is about right for him--he does stack closely to Freeman and Poitier. 6'0" flat today? Try again. He's lost height but he's not six flat.

thebad7 on Clint Eastwood
Some people had mentioned Reni Santoni from DIRTY HARRY, and that's something that I'm curious about, too. Personally, I think that Santoni was more 6'1" than he was 6'0" flat. In '71 for DH, Eastwood was still at 6'4".
@James: I really wonder why you post so incessantly here on Eastwood's thread. As I recall, you don't even like the man as an actor: you're a Harrison Ford fan, aren't you? Also, the sudden switch from peak 6'2" Eastwood to 6'4"+ peak Eastwood is bewildering. Eastwood as a young man and at his peak stood 6'4" flat. He didn't start to lose height until the early 1990s--about 1992, after UNFORGIVEN was completed. He looked 6'3" throughout the '90s, and it was about the time of MILLION DOLLAR BABY in late 2004/early 2005 that he looked about 6'2". Today, at age 81, I'd say he's between 6'1" and 6'2" depending on time of day.
This isn't accurate. Eastwood began losing height much earlier than the 1990's and he is not between 6'1" and 6'2" today. He's barely a flat 6'0" today.

Theres absolutely no evidance of santoni being 183cm,the guys hardly famous so his height is just as debatable as anyones,you cant trust what a certain other unreliable website says as being correct,more likelt Santoni was 185cm,while Clint poor posture meant he was 190/191cm. Clint-1960s,good posture-6'4 flat,1970s normal,poor posture-6'3,also imo Eastwood was exactly the same height as Freeman(189cm) in '92 Unforgiven,having watched the film at not one point is there an accurate angle in the film of them standing together,from what we do see they look a similar height,about 6'2.5.
i m d b once had
Matt Damon at 6',
Vin Diesel at 6'4", Tom Cruise at 5'5" and Everett McGill at 6'5". If
Maximus Meridius said on 31/Jul/11
Rob is there a chance Clint Eastwood will go down to the 5ft 10in mark anytime soon.

Editor Rob
if he reaches 95 and loses more height he'll probably need a wheelchair to get around.
James said on 31/Jul/11
i guess if David Soul was only 6'0.5 184cm peak then that would mean clint eastwood was no more than 6'4 (193cm) in comparison not 6'4.5 (194cm). 6'4.25 not impossible though?
James said on 31/Jul/11
David Souls peak height has been downgraded too 184cm now........ i guess the 'strong' 6'4 for Clint Eastwood is starting too seem a bit more improbable but still in Magnum Force maybe it could have been that clint eastwood had dodgy posture.
I think there is still a chance that david soul was 6'1 as well.
Gus said on 31/Jul/11

...may I please see the indisputable proff that David Soul was or is 6'1, since he seems to be who Eastwood is comapred against, so often? I wish I'd saved ever teen mag I had as a kid (for pictures of Kristy McNichol), which said, repeatedly, Soul was 5'11. He wore HUGE heels on Starsky and Hutch. I do not see a 6'1 guy in him. Just thin and average.
Well it doesnt matter how he got to 6'1,could have been 5ft in stilts to be 6'1,Eastwood was still 3 inches taller than a 6'1 figure-lifts or not.
Gus said on 30/Jul/11
Look at The moment Al wins the oscar in the crowd Clint is,along from him is tim robbins,robbins looks about 2 inches taller roughly...this is '93 I think...its between 1 minute 35 and 1 minute 40...

In Dirty Harry
Clint Eastwood 6'4.25 (194cm) Reni Santoni 6'1.5 (187cm)
Unforgiven
Clint Eastwood 6'3.5 (192cm)
Morgan Freeman 6'2.5 (189cm)?
James said on 29/Jul/11
higher chance clint eastwood was 194cm than 192cm. Between 6'5-6'6 straight out of bed in his prime after 9 hours sleep lying on his back. Probably lost more height than average throughout the day like 3 or 4cm because he was a legit very tall man and had bad posture. might have measured 193cm before bed at his peak? At his peak if clint eastwood got under 7 hours sleep would probably not meaure over 6'5 out of bed.

P.S.--You are spot on with Hudson's height. Rock Hudson was a straight-up 6'5".
James said on 28/Jul/11
Clint Eastwood started losing height in the 1970's actually where he shrunk from a legit 6'4 too 6'3 just like Dolph Lundgren. was 6'3 up untill 1994 or 1995 when he started shrinking again. By 1998 no more than 6'2 probably.
I did orginally say clint eastwood was 6'2 flat but then i thought he was more than that after seeing more evidence like him being minimum 3 inches taller than david soul.
Hudson 6'5. Clint Eastwood 6'4-6'4 1/2.

I think he was 6'3 (191cm) at peak, a very tall man for sure, he looked even above 6'4 because of his lanky frame.
Today he is 6'0.5-6'0.75.
But there's a possibility that he was really 6'4 when younger, we have to remember that very tall people seems to lose more height when they age.
James said on 28/Jul/11
he's a few inches taller than 6'2 Michael Caine in the photo.

..those photos of Eastwood at Wayne's party, and with Nemoy, are distorted. Look at Fred McMurray...he looks utterly tiny, but wasn't. And look how large Shatner looks, with his back to us, compared to Eastwood. With the right camera and camera angle, someone standing even 2 inches closer to the camera can look taller than they are, in the final photo. Hudson was a bit taller than Wayne. This photo suggests Eastwood may have been taller than Hudson. Insanity. He'd have been huge, and wasn't. Just a tall, skinny guy. 6'3.5, now much shorter
James said on 27/Jul/11
that photo of clint eastwood and lenord might have been taken in like the late 70's or early 80's when clint eastwood was 6'3 1/2 as opposed to 6'4 perhaps?
