Danny Trejo's Height
5ft 5 ¾ (167 cm)
American actor best known for roles in movies like Machete, Con Air, Bad Ass and Spy Kids. He's an actor who exudes a bigger presence in movies than his actual height suggests. In this convention photo Danny had a little bit more sneaker than me.

Maybe it's his stance, but he looks shorter than 5'5.75" Francis Capra looks taller in his picture. What's that about?

Editor RobIn person both those guys closer to 5ft 6 than 5, although with Danny's age I think there's always a chance he had lost a 1/4 inch by then.

He does have a big head for his height, not only length wise but overall surface area and volume.

Okay. This one moved into first place for the most surprising result on the site yet. I had absolutely no idea until I saw the thumbnail. But I never even thought about his height and came in looking for Moon Bloodgood.

Somewhere in high 5'5 range makes sense, but yeah, he's not a guy you'd mess with at any height, he looks the real deal, Mexican cartel sort of thing.

Just a very broad strong guy. He looks to easily physically handle Charles Bronson in one of the Death Wish sequels, Bronson has to escape by throwing a drink in his face. Bronson kept his physique into old age as well, but Trejo looked much broader. It's rare but 5'5 guys can be tough. I was in juvie years ago and this guy around 6'4 was harassing this Cuban dude who was about 5'5. Suddenly the shorter guy had enough and seemed to get the best of him in a couple of seconds. Most shorter guys are built smaller than their taller counterparts which is why you don't see this too often.

Weak 5 ft 5 would be perfect listing for his height as of today 2020 because he mustve shrunken more heights as he aged....
BTW, Happy belated 76th Birthday to Danny!!! Btw, you dont really look 70s at all. Still looking like around 60 in my eyes Danny..

You should add that he's been in Halloween (2007). He had a minor role of course, but he played the janitor at Smiths Grove Sanitarium who was always nice to Michael but then gets killed by him because Mike's priorities are screwed up.

Yes he could have lost a cm or so, I think his peak was close to 5ft 6, today in his 70's he might be nearing 5ft 5.
@Rob here's a picture of him with 6ft nicholas cage in the 90's Click Here looks like a solid 6 inch difference to me. I don't think Trejo has seen 5'7 a day in his life.

Seems that he always used to play intimidating characters.Maybe a good example of how personality could erase some realities.I mean it's really someone I've never perceived as small despite the fact that he's.To think this dude is roughly similar to Sarkozy or Hoffmann is just strange.

I saw Danny last night in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and he has such screen presence that any lack of height is the last thing on your mind...
The same applies in the film 'Machete', and the girls overlook his below-average height in that too. And they are beauties!
Danny gets 5ft5.75 and a round of applause for being so entertaining!👏

Ok very short actor obviously sorry folks he could at times just look 5 6 or 7 clearly less than banderas who is not tall.
In his 40s he was quite fit making an imposing figure onscreen and being a boxing champ in prison no less.
Proof yet again height is not needed if you exude an alpha or even rabid vibe.

When you see Danny standing at the bar in the film 'From Dusk Till Dawn', you take in that he is extremely well-built, threatening to those he doesn't like and probably just a touch below average height! However, in his 'Machete' films, you are forced to be that much more finicky because he is surrounded and adored by good-looking women, and you expect to see at least an 8 out of 10 on the looks front overall in order for him to be worthy of such success! Yet his success is about as likely as the storylines themselves! But he CAN fight, and as I have seen myself, you don't need to be tall to do that! These stories demonstrate that, but usually, a bit of youth comes in handy as well! Machete doesn't even seem to need that, making the plots comical and far-fetched!
Danny gets 5ft5.5 from me! 👹

Danny Trejo is the real deal. He looks mean and tough, he portrays a mean and tough character, but he can not hide the fact he has a heart of pure gold. He is just a good man - and in many ways is symbolic of the USA ... a rough exterior, but kind-hearted at his core.

Looks about 5ft 5.25 or 5ft 5.5 with Rob. I'm judging this mostly on Rob's photo with Marshall Allman who is a 5.25 guy. They look about the same. However, I do agree with a near 5ft 6 peak.

Editor Rob I think his peak is this listing, he had a fraction more footwear that day so I can see him having dropped maybe a fraction, but not like an inch...20 years ago he didn't look much different

Billed 5'11" in Machete - well not himself, the nominal character. He does look shorter than that, even in those big military boots he is seen wearing most of the time.
Funny how 5'11" is considered average-short in American movies...

5'6-ish isn't exactly surprising him for him. Latino Americans are on average 5'7-ish, and Trejo's pretty old now.

He looks various heights in Robert Rodriguez films, usually taller like in Once Upon A Time In Mexico they make him look taller than 5'9 Johnny Depp! The magic of cinema I tell you, but that badassery is ALL Danny, that ain't no Hollywood magic!

@goal height: The average man's wingspan is 3 inches greater than his height. "Huge wingspan" is 5 or more.
He does seem to have very broad shoulders. Small, but tough and strong as nails. Pretty fat though; looks like he eats lots of menudo.

It is not an aspersion on his character that he is short. He is awesome regardless of his height. That being said, my friends and I met him at Wizard World in Arlington, TX 2008, and he is below 5' 5". I know that for a fact. I have a friend measured at 5'5 1/2". Danny Trejo is shorter than him. Maybe 5' 3", maybe 5' 3 1/2". Absolutely certain. Sorry I don't have a pic of them side by side, but this is fact.
