As an Australian, Ledger's untimely death had even more of an impact..terrific actor. I think he was 6ft1.5 out of bed and 6ft0.75 at the end of the day. So 6ft0.75 or 6ft1 in my opinion. He towered Plummer in Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I very much doubt Plummer is as tall as the listed 5ft9 though nowadays. In this film he looked 5ft8 flat.

AndrewS said on 8/Jun/11
Looked slightly taller than Bale (182 cm), Heath Ledger was probably 183-184 cm tall, not quite 185 cm, alltough he could look it at times. May he R.I.P.

factmaster said on 22/May/11
5'11" peak at best, fact...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Apr/11
I'd say in shoes Heath Ledger was 186-187cm, not quite 6"2
mel said on 27/Apr/11
I worked on the crew of BBM. Mr. Ledger himself said he was 6.2". In shoes closer 6.3" :) May he RIP. He was an awesome man.
Lenad said on 25/Apr/11
I doubt he was over 6ft1. I'd still say 6'0 min but
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Apr/11
He was great in 10 Things I Hate About You and of course in The Dark Knight.

Looked taller than 6"1 because he was so skinny
James said on 14/Apr/11
Its sad that he is dead but never the less looked 6ft to me.
4heathy said on 16/Mar/11
6,1" definately, heath was tall. But u know what? does it really matter the poor guy is deceased now.....rip heath x
Toby said on 15/Feb/11
He looked like a giant on screen next to his shrimpy co stars. R.I.P mate.
SAK said on 8/Feb/11
He was 185cm,

185cm seems to be the overall best height for a guy imo, everything seems to be in proportion,
Rodger said on 7/Feb/11
6'1" definatly
Spence said on 15/Jan/11
I think he was 6'1 even...weak 6'1
T.J. said on 13/Jan/11
Was no more than 6'1"
no less than 6'
Tallish, but not too tall
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Jan/11
Bale is 183cm..
Ledger was 184cm
jean0 said on 1/Jan/11
definite 185cm in the evening, bale is a strong 181cm with the batsuit 188cm+ and he wasnt that much shorter.
gui said on 22/Dec/10
did he stand next to christian bale at the dark knight?
i don't remember that
Lenad said on 15/Dec/10
I doubt he was taller than 6'1
Chuck said on 1/Dec/10
Jake is 6 ft and Heath is 6'1". Those heights are both right. Jake looked 6 ft in Brothers and Prince of Persia, and Heath looked a solid 6'1" in A Knight's Tale and The Dark Knight. There was only an inch difference in height between Heath and Jake as well in the movie Brokeback Mountain.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Nov/10
6"1(185cm) Morning
6"0.75(185cm) Mid-Morning
6"0.5(184cm) Afternoon
6"0.25(184cm) evening
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Nov/10
6"0.5 it is then.
James said on 28/Oct/10
not really rampage and he hardly ever really stood next to bale properly.
Henkka said on 8/Jul/09
By the pics I've seen, he looks like a weak 6'1 like me.
irma said on 26/Jun/09
he was around 6'1 and 6'3,i say so,because a very good source,close to heath,told me so..he grew a bit,plus he was fit,so he looked taller,that was very sexy about him..
Hugh 190cm said on 22/Jun/09
185-187cm was his range.
Rusty said on 15/Jun/09
The Dark Knight wasnt accurate with height portrayls. Joker is supposed to be 6'3" and 191 pounds and Batman at 6'2" and 210 pounds. So Batman is supposed to be a big guy. Bale is 6'0" and Ledger is 6'1".
santiago said on 11/Jun/09
1.85 or the same 6,1
James said on 10/Jun/09
185-186cm out of bed.
Hugh 190cm said on 8/Jun/09
By that picture I estimate Ledger to have been around 187cm.

6ft4 is absouloutly ridiculos. Really hes a strong 6ft0 but possibly a weak 6ft1.
Hugh 190cm said on 24/May/09
He was 1.5 inches taller than Christian Bale so between 185cm-187cm is spot on.
Clay said on 20/May/09
In TDK he was doing a hunched over posture for The Joker character. If he stood up straight he would be a legit 6'1, or at the minimum 6 foot and a half.
glenn said on 15/May/09
pic was taken in 2001.
James said on 14/May/09
Yeah I guess Heaths posture was poor next to glenn. Well with the slouch he had going on in the pic he looked 5'11. Wasn't glenns pic like 10 years old? So he would have been 20 in the picture so he may have not done all his growing when that photo was taken?
Hugh 190cm said on 13/May/09
Rob is your opinion on Heath's height.
Hugh 190cm said on 13/May/09
Ah come on James he looked at least 6ft1 next to Glenn. I buy a strong 6ft1 for this guy. I've read 187cm for this guy and I've occasionally seen a couple of 6ft2 listings but that is a little too high. 6ft1 looks good but 186cm sounds better. Maybe was 187cm in the morning. He was over one inch taller than Bale.
James said on 11/May/09
Didn't look 6'1 at all next to glenn.
unknown said on 10/May/09
No less than 6 ft 1...always slouches alot and is a tad more than an inch taller than bale in dark knight. 6 feet and less is just being naive, never appeared short on screen ever...God rest his soul!
jf said on 10/May/09
6'1" shocks me. I would have credited Ledger for 5'10" or so. He isn't much taller than his supershort co-stars in 10 Things I Hate About You. Unless he actually grea after the age of 19 which would be very rare. Or if his co-stars utilized platform shoes in his scenes. 6'6" is absurd for Heath. No way is he 6'6" tall, I can't believe that is being cited as a truth. 6'1" is one thing, 6'6" is like...craziness.

6ft1.25/186cm was is height I'm sure.
Hugh 190cm said on 1/May/09
6ft3-6ft4 is ridiculous. A solid 6ft1+ is possible. 185cm/187cm.
Ricardo said on 29/Apr/09
6'3" or 6'4" is not remotely possible.
sam said on 26/Apr/09
he's solid 186cm
Lenad said on 18/Apr/09
Strong 6'0 like 183-184cm
Sam said on 8/Apr/09
He was listed as 6'3" early on in his career, which is ridiculous of course. 6'1" is just right.
Hugh 190cm said on 5/Apr/09
6ft4 is ridiculous. 6ft1 to 6ft1.5.
david said on 4/Apr/09
in brothers grimm he doesn't look much taller than damon, and damon can't be 6 ft 1.
me said on 3/Apr/09
he is at least 6ft1
Mr. R said on 3/Apr/09
He is listed as 6-4 in the May 2001 People.
Ricardo said on 1/Apr/09
He was taller then Bale. He was slouching and bending his knees alot in TDK, 6"1 is certaintly a correct hieght for him.
Hugh 190cm said on 31/Mar/09
186-187cm is more accurate. Watch the Dark Knight. He's 1.5 inches taller than Christian Bale.
Lenad said on 28/Mar/09
182cm isnt ridiculos. 183-184cm is bang on. 180cm is ridiculos.
Hugh2 said on 21/Mar/09
Rob whats your opinion on Heath?
Family said on 10/Mar/09
I don't know why, when i saw him i thought he was 5ft8
_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ said on 7/Mar/09
182cm is ridiculous. Ledger always struck me as a genuine 6ft1 guy and most likely a little taller.
Lenad said on 6/Mar/09
I can buy a solid 182cm at the lowest. But I'm sorry Hugh anything over this listing is overdoing it.
\_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ said on 3/Mar/09
Even when slouching he looked a good inch or so taller than Christian Bale.
Joe said on 27/Feb/09
Victor, IN Dark Knight Ledger was slouching because he wanted Joker to have bad posture. You can even see scenes where he is really slouching.
\ -_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 25/Feb/09
I'll admit that he looked 6ft tops next to Matt Damon. But the reality is that he was 6ft1 minimum. He was 1.5 inches taller than Bale and an inch taller than 184-185cm Bryan Brown.
-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 24/Feb/09
He was about 1.5 inches taller than Bale whose 6ft. 187cm for Heath.

well they did on purpose in the dark knight cause it wouldnt feel right if batman was shorter, he is 1.85 definatly i stood facing him in the premiere the brothers grimm and he was taller than i am and iam 6ft. 5.
Victor Hexum said on 21/Feb/09
No way he is 6"1 in the dark knight he was shorter then bale and he's 5'11
Tim said on 21/Feb/09
I saw him at the beach once in Perth (his home town). He's about 6'1 but he was really skinny so looks taller than he is. And he had lots of tattoos.
U turn said on 8/Feb/09
Strong 185cm.
Lenad said on 6/Feb/09
Probably a strong 183 maybe a weak 184.
random mood said on 6/Feb/09
no he's not...no way he's 6'1!! he's maybe 5'10 which is tall
RisingForce said on 4/Feb/09
From a July 2000 interview.

Q: You're really tall ... did you tower over Mel?
A: I'm 6 feet 1, but he has such a large presence on-screen that you don't notice it.
Hugh said on 23/Jan/09
186cm seems on target.
Lenad said on 21/Jan/09
I can buy a strong 182cm at the lowest
Josh.J said on 14/Jan/09

perhaps a better picture for height comparison. assuming bowie is now 5-9, there is about 3 inches (maybe slightly more) between them. charlize theron seems to be slouching but cant really comment on her height because her footware is unknown. ledger looks close to 6-1.
Josh.J said on 13/Jan/09

Eckhart on this site is 180cm. i see about 3-4 cm difference between him and heath. i have say though, ledger's posture is always loose. i'd say 185cm in the morning and 184 in the evening.
joe said on 8/Jan/09
i saw heath ledger at a restaurant a few years back, and im 5'10. he looked about 3 inches taller than me. so id say a solid 6 footer. hes also thin which can give the appearance of being taller. people think im a bit taller than 5'10, but i have really long arms and legs which make me look a bit taller than i am, same thing with heath.
linebacker40 said on 7/Jan/09
He didn't look really different from Bale in The Dark Knight. I suppose anything in between 6'-6'1".
Lenad said on 5/Jan/09
Looked more like 5ft11.5 than 6ft1. 6ft2 is laughable and 6ft4 is freaking insane.
Lenad said on 4/Jan/09
6ft3 is way way way too high
T.J. said on 22/Dec/08
seems more like a really strong 6'0"
Josh said on 22/Dec/08
In his biography it said he was 6ft 3. Above he says 6ft 1 which is probarbly his true height. In Ned kelly he looked about 2 inches or so taller than orlando bloom.
Hugh said on 13/Dec/08
He was tall. 6ft1-6ft1.5. 6ft4 is a joke, likewise with 6ft3, 6ft2 is overestimating a bit. 6ft1.5 is reasonably accurate. 186cm is spot on.
Spence said on 12/Dec/08
A pic with Monica B. , Matt Damon and Ledger. I think Damon might be 177 cm barefoot but wears lifts. Ledger is slouching a little bit and still has about 2 inches on him. He could be 184 or a very weak 6'1.

187cm seems a bit exaggerated for this guy!

Jake's a solid 6ft to me.
Hugh said on 16/Nov/08
At least 6ft1. I'd guess between 185-187cm.

A good 6ft1.

How tall is Andrew Keegan?

Heath is 6'1''

What a great actor and awesome he his 6'1 because in 10 Things I hate About You Heath is alot taller then Julia Styles and shes about 5'6 5'7 and he's taller then Christian Bale in the Dark Knight(6'0) RIP Heath Ledger:( :)
mr archibald said on 27/Oct/08
so, that makes heath ledger at 6', beacuse he looked 2 inches shorter than djimoun...

he could be 6'0.4, he is tall
Anonymous said on 24/Oct/08
he is at least 6' he can look 6'1 too and if he was I wouldn't be surprises, he looke two inches shorter than djimoun

he is a strong 6' or a weak 6'1...
Lenad said on 20/Oct/08
I'd give him a strong 182cm to a weak 183cm.
andrea said on 11/Oct/08
Heath seemed like an average tall man. 6'1" seems perfect. His shoulder width and well basically his whole body is that of a good sized man. Anyways, I just can't picture him having lied about height. I notice people on the cusp of being shorter tend to lie about their height, while people of more of an averagish to tall height tell the truth.
howie day said on 8/Oct/08
you think?..I see himm as 5'10 barefoot!
and 6'1 on his lifts..anyway..ledger in everymovie look on a different heigth..6'0 most likely
howie day said on 7/Oct/08
I saw 10 things I hate about you last night and he looke quite tall...but maybe beacuse the rest of the cast nobody reaches 5'11..well he looked like a full 6'1 in that film..but he was wearing cowboy boots..anyway..ledger is not shorter than 6'0
howie day said on 6/Oct/08
I think they both are about the same..but I guess we'll never know...

james...one question...hoiw tall you think brad pitt is?
Anonymous said on 4/Oct/08
good point james...but still I dont think ledger is taller than bale..dont know why..they are about the same height..and yes gyllenhall its not a 6' footer...so james wich other celebs nobody agrees with you? I might check it out then lol
howie day said on 1/Oct/08
bale looked taller..but the angels were kinda weird...they are about the same height..but none of them are 6'1
Lenad said on 30/Sep/08
He looked 5'11-ish near Christian Bale in The Dark Knight
howie day said on 30/Sep/08
exactly james...gyllenhall doesnt look and full 6' footer
more like 5'11.05 and ledger was 6'0.5 at most..
ledger is an inch taller than gyllenhall there's no doubt about that..maybe gyllenhal its a strong 5'11 and ledger a strong 6'..ledger was great in the dar knight bye the way and with that slouch he looked 5'11
Captain Spaulding said on 21/Sep/08
Great actor, id say 6'0".
Anonymous3 said on 20/Sep/08
6'4 for Mr. Ledger is an absolute joke, How many people are ACTUALLY a legit 6'4? NOT too many. my point exactly. I have a friend I know is 6'3 and change maybe 6'3.25", who claims 6'4. Just goes to show you that even tall guys tend to try to grab more height if they see a chance.
Lenad said on 20/Sep/08
I agree James, I think he around 6'0, not the 6'1 he claimed.
Geo said on 18/Sep/08
Heath Ledger was a great actor, as far as his height, he seemed around 6'00. Watch the movie "the Patriot" where you will find several scenes where He stands side by side with Mel Gibson, if Gibson is around 5'10 this guys must have been around 6'00 since he doesn't look much taller than Gibson.
Vampiric said on 5/Sep/08
I'm just curious. Why do you people always try to make celebrities seem shorter by giving such opinions? Heath is very tall, as any person with good eyesight see. I wouldn't give him a cm under 185. He was 6'1 and if you're saying he was shorter it's because you're jealous.
Hugh said on 27/Aug/08
HEath was probably 6ft0.75 minimum and 6ft1.5 Max.
howie day said on 25/Aug/08
I agree with james...he doesnt look like a full 6'1...
in dark knight looked 5'11.05 but he had a bad posture..so tanding correctly he will be like 6'.05 close to 6'1
Lisa said on 20/Aug/08
I worked on the set of BBM in 2004 in Alberta. Mr.Ledger came in at 6" almost 6"2.He weighed at the time 187lbs. He told us he was always a little guy until about 16 then he shot up like crazy. As for anonymus saying no-one noticed his acting until after he died, You are speaking for yourself! I have been a fan since 1996 after seeing him in a tv series. He was nominated for an oscar for heavens sake! I do think that being nominated for an oscar qualifies as "being noticed". He was a very nice guy. Polite always comes to mind when I think of him. He was a lot quieter than I thought he would be.I saw him go out of his way to help others many times, just little things but still. He did move around a lot, very fidgety,like he had ADD or something.Just very normal.He needed to believe in himself more, he seemed to always doubt himself. Rest easy mate, we miss you. Mark Hammil? GOOD LORD NO!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA! Great joke that guy.
Yaspaa said on 13/Aug/08
6'1 in footwear,6'0 max barefoot.

Wow this guy had evrything going for him, good actor, great family, tall, rich! shame he died!
Lebensdorf said on 13/Aug/08
He slouched a great deal in The Dark Knight and was still rather taller than Maggie Gyllenhaal (who is five-nine), and she was wearing heels in their scene together. I would say a solid six-one was right for him. He tends to look taller in other films, though.

A great actor, who will be sorely missed.
Anonymous said on 11/Aug/08
He looked about 6'2"/6'3" in TDK to me. Probably because of his slender physique. Thin people usually appear taller than they really are.
Zach said on 9/Aug/08
he looked like a solid 6ft 1 in Dark Knight, in some scenes he looked taller but this was due to wearing boots.
howie day said on 7/Aug/08
he looked 6' at dar knight!
actually 5'11 with the slouch..but he looks 6'

Big T said on 27/Jul/08
I was watching the Heath Ledger True Hollywood Story the other day, and they had an old pic of Heath (he would've been 16 or 17) actually standing next to a HANDWRITTEN height chart. The fact that someone bothered to handwrite the chart suggests to me this pic was taken by an early agency or something like that, specifically for the purpose of measuring his height.

His height was 187cm. Assuming he stopped growing at a relatively young age, and was wearing normal shoes, I think it's safe to say 185cm/6'1" is bang on, and he was an honest dude.
happy said on 25/Jul/08
Man he was hot!, and such an awesome actor :[ still can't believe he's dead.And he was TALLL he look really tall in TDK. Which btw was Amazing and I would watch over and over again cause of him.

Blah blah blah, all these "OMG! Just saw the Dark Knight! Heath Ledger is the most amazing actor ever!!!" comments are really starting to make me sick. The man had about half as many comments on this site a few weeks before The Dark Knight came out and only one or two said anything about his acting. I love how no one made a big deal about his acting until AFTER he was dead. Was he good at the Joker? Yes (though maybe not entirely faithful to the comic book). Has he be been better in other roles? Yes. So please, stop all this mindless fauning.

As for height, didn't come off as 6'1" in The Dark Knight but just going by body proportions, did seem a big guy. Considering he was taller than Jake Gyllenhal by about an inch, I'd say 6' is the lowest you could go for him.

By the way, Mark Hammil will still always have the best interpretation of The Joker. :]

brilliant in dark knight, definitely deserves an oscar for his performance. anyways looked tall in dark knight even with a the joker slouch, so 6'1 is correct.

Yeah... about that... I'm watching it now, and Ledger is about 1.5 inches TALLER than J.G.
gfunkmoney06 said on 19/Jul/08
he looks like a 6-6'1" type guy. anyway, absolutely amazing acting in dark knight. he made joker his own and he added this sinister, psychotic side to joker that i never expected. the performance was very memorable. rest in peace.
KingNick said on 18/Jul/08
Rob I'm sure you're getting flooded with these comments but I want to at least try.

I saw "The Dark Knight" tonight and Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was easily one of the best performances I have EVER seen, period. This is coming from an actor. Someone who's striving to be a part of the business. Someone who loves acting because it's the dream God put in his heart.

My only prayer to God is that I can be HALF as good as Heath Ledger was.

I don't know why his life was cut so short. I don't know if it was accidental overdose or whatever. All I know is the acting world is a little less brighter without him.

If there's anything an actor or just any movie fan can take from this, it's to not take life for granted. A cliche phrase, but maybe the best cliche around. Heath had so much to give. All it takes is one mistake for it to be over. Maybe you're someone who has a lot to give but doesn't think so.

I'm here to tell you now, YOU HAVE A LOT TO GIVE.

Life is too short and you have no idea how many people you touch sometimes inadvertantly. The comfort I can take is that I know Heath is resting very comfortably in a place much better than this. And I know he's still using his gifts, just in a different way. Performing, making people laugh, astounding them.

Using God's gift.

Jennifer said on 28/Apr/08
Hey. It’s me again. I had something to tell Heath. First, I would ask that all the ladies who really liked Heath to not be offended, I am one of you and was luck to know him also.

Heath, remember the line you said in Roar when Keri Russell’s character Clair (your character Conor’s love) past away and you said that glorious line at her funeral? Hear I am saying the same thing to you.

“I will never…love another…as I have loved you.”
Jennifer said on 28/Apr/08
Heath was 6’1; I know that because he was my friend. He was an awesome guy, very friendly, easy to talk to, in short the best. He had rough times in his life, though, so how you see him on the screen in (Roar the TV series from 1997, Casanova, etc.) is how he was when life was good. I have seeing everything he was in except the TV appearances in Australia before 1997 (I met him that summer) and Broken Back Mountain (the storyline made me queasy).

As everyone was saying, I miss him terribly too. There is a quote from the pilot episode of Roar that comes to mind right now. It was in Gaelic and I do not have the correct spelling on it but Heath’s line was “From shel sha gidion sayon ella” with means “From this life to the next.”

Take care, everyone

Glen thanks for sharing that.A sad shame really especially if he turned unfriendly towards people at the end.....I think he had a great personality & sense of humour.Heath had a lot going for him and for myself like millions of other fans worldwide are just so devastated by his death.....there will never be another heath ledger!.....rip.
glenn said on 31/Mar/08
heath was nice but quiet.kind of like me.also suffered anxiety towards the end,like i experienced in life,that made him unfriendly towards the end.
Tracy said on 31/Mar/08
I've studied heath's height in many of his films and compared him to other actors heights and yes he was very tall.I would say he was a definate 6-1" and I also heard he had big feet.....you know what they say about a guy with big feet??......hey glen you lucky devil.What was heath like in person,was he shy?.......r.i.p. heath you were great!
glenn said on 21/Mar/08

glenn said on 20/Mar/08
gthanks mamun.i bumped into him on the street,2001 new york city.yeah chris175,i can look taller.
Donald said on 20/Mar/08
He did infact towered every cast and crew in 10 Things I Hate About You. Talk about short people in that set. When I first saw that movie I always thought he was 6'3 assuming Andrew Keegan was like 6'1 and Joseph Gordon Levett was like 5'11 then...so yeah Heath looked like a tall mother****er in that movie.
Chris175 said on 14/Mar/08
glenn you look 5-9 or 5-10 here

Bosco is right,judging from this picture he is 6',God rest his soul.

he was more like 6' to me myabe 6'1 in shoes, he only looks like a 6' footer maybe alittle below that like 5'11.05
Lisa said on 28/Feb/08
I walked past heath in new york whilst he was out shopping a while back now and he was definately tall compared to my 5 8" frame,he was wearing faded skin tight denim's which made him look very leggy,top and a wooly hat.He was a definate 6 ft-6 1"inch he looked about the same as my brother's height who is also 6 1",I recognised him straightaway and said "hello heath",he smiled back at me and said "hi,how are you? he was very polite and sweet and was very attractive even though he was dressed kinda scruffy!....rip heath you were a special person!!
RobertJ said on 21/Feb/08
I bet they'll look the same height, Heath may have an inch. Bale's Batman boots give him alteast an inch.
Anonymous said on 21/Feb/08
It'll be interesting to see if how much taller he looks with Bale in the new Batman movie.
El said on 21/Feb/08

He did seem more like 6'1".
Darkfalz said on 9/Feb/08
Next to lift enhanced Damon, who is 5'9" on a good day, I'd say 6'0" or 6'1" at most.
glenn said on 3/Feb/08
shy might be right.hard to say.he was always ok with me.but i heard mixed reports.i did see him trying to avoid people last year.
heath fan said on 2/Feb/08
glenn, what was he like in character when you met him? he seems very sincere and sweet, and very shy...was he?
glenn said on 28/Jan/08
thanks johnny.im here for you all.but its robs site i embellished with my pics.
Johnny said on 27/Jan/08
Your lukcy to meet him before his death. Now knowone can ever meet him again. The only way to is to go to his future grave in Perth, AUS. He really looks like a solid 6'1. I wish I was in that pic with'em. Tnx for making this site glenn about celebheights. Your the best man glenn. I feel bad after his death. My strenght goes for his loving daughter Matilda and wife, family.

i dont think he was 6'0. maybe at night and in the morn but not in the rest of the day.
i say 5'11. he just didnt have that build.
TNTinCA said on 24/Jan/08
Shame to see him pass on. I am looking forward to the next Batman movie to see his performance. I know he wanted to bring a different "edge" to The Joker. Pity he couldn't see the result of his work. RIP Heath. You will be missed.
Anna said on 24/Jan/08
Glenn you're so lucky you got to meet Heath before his death. He seemed like such a nice guy. He looks a solid 6'-6'2" here. RIP Heath.
hans said on 24/Jan/08
yeah,yeah...no that he is dead he grew to an amazing 6'3. This is BS. But women also think their 3 meter BMW mini does not fit into a 10 meter parking space.He was most likely 5'11, maximum 6'0. 6'1 only with cowboy boots he often liked to wear. I loved him in his movies. greetings to heaven Heath!

mac said on 24/Jan/08
this guy obviously was a deep water with lots of anxieties and problems he just kept locked inside of him. seemed nice though and like for any other young person dying this is a real tragedy.

However, this guys hight was confusing:
check this pic on time.com where he stands out from the rest due to his height and very long legs.
Click Here
And then move to the next pic with Mel Gibson in a scene from "the patriot". He is/was like a Brad Pitt guy, who could change their height magically by 3 inches = Probably was lift wearer like Pitt.

A great actor and a very impressive person. I believe his legendary status will live for generations, and his spirit will live forever.

Hi Glenn! I would say he was 6'1. What was he like when you met him Glenn? He seems like a down to earth kind of person. It's such a shame that he's gone. He had a lot of talent. R.I.P.
Robbie H said on 23/Jan/08
its a shock and a great shame he passed away
sorter said on 23/Jan/08
methinks no one's going to dispute his current height: 6ft. under.

incredible actor and a panty magnet--why he decided to off himself is beyond me.

I really enjoyed some of his movies. :(
Donald said on 11/Jan/08
In 10 Things I Hate About You he towered over every single cast member, Andrew Keegan 6'0 had to look up at him, Heath had to look down at him. You can cleary see it in the scenes where they're face to face. Heath is not 6'1 he has to be 6'3 at the most if not atleast 6'2.
Chris said on 7/Jan/08
Heath with Matt Damon, same height.

AAAA said on 29/Dec/07
Looks like a tall 6'1 in the trailer for the dark Knight. When he is standing in the street, he seems tall, and lanky
Anonymous said on 28/Oct/07
Looks 6'0 with Glenn. Going by the standard of human proportion being 4.5 to 5 inches from eyes to the top of the head, and Heath's eyes being and inch or so below the top of Glenn's head, who also looks to be straining his neck for height. Factor in the relaxed posture on top of Glenn's good, and 6'1 seems about right.
robbie h said on 12/Oct/07
looks around 6ft to 6-1
jen said on 22/Sep/07
i lived in sydney with him before he made his hollywood break.
heath is definately 185cm ... if i can ill post some pictures of
him to prove it.
glenn said on 18/Sep/07
he is close to 6-1,if not that.
Kris said on 18/Sep/07
I saw him at the LAX airport on the 24th as my mom and I were in line at Starbucks. He was with a friend and I got a good look at him and this guy is at least 5'11''. Also, he looks a lot worse in person. But then again, I never found him at all attractive. Just my two cents. He is for sure tall. But it ain't 6'1''.
guy said on 17/Sep/07
Looks 5'11" in the above pic by abosolute comparison to Glenn. His eyes are about 2 inches below the top of Glenn's head. He is very relaxed and appears to be possibly trying to match Glenn's height with a slouched posture. Standing straight would give him another inch. I would calculate his actual height at 5'11.5" to 6 given he has similar soles to Glenn.

Editor Rob
heath's eyelevel does look to have a bit more of a downtilt, so I think nearer to 4. Without knowing posture.
Piccaso said on 12/Sep/07
Between 5'11 and 6ft -- I'm almost positive!
Bad Radio said on 5/Aug/07
looks 6ft to me..not less than that...6'1 is possible.
Aaron said on 3/Aug/07
looks like a strong 5'11 in this pic
6'3'' JK said on 3/Aug/07
I don't think he is quite 6'1'', looks 6'0'' tops with Glenn
RobertJ said on 2/Aug/07
He's not shorter than 6 feet.
Victorian said on 24/Jul/07
Brokeback Mountain made me think he was 6ft. Picture the scene when he was 'dancing' with Linda Cardellini (both wore very dodgy footwear though.). He seemed nearly 6'2" with said shoes, making him 2 inches less without them IMHO.
Franco said on 23/Jul/07
he looks around 187cm in this picture so i think he is 184cm no shoes.
timber said on 18/Jul/07
must be another lift wearer...
Anonymous said on 6/Jul/07
i agree...i met him on the set of brokeback...he's no taller than 5'11...and michelle williams is definately shorter than 5'4
bushpilot99 said on 29/Jun/07
O.k. here's my little bit of info. Heath ledger is 5'10" (and thats being generous; like just got out of bed and thats the tallest I'll be all day generous) Last summer he was at the Holt Renfrew party here in Toronto during the film festival; scored tickets via an actor friend of mine and wanted to check it out. Low and behold there was Heath. Nice fella, real mellow. Had a chance to talk to him ( you know the standard stuff like I really liked your movie.....blah blah blah). I towered over him. Noticeably. I stand 6'1.25", and he only came up to my eyes. I asked my friend to confirm and he said I had to be at least 3-4 inches taller. My friend talked to him and my friend was way taller than him as well, and he tops out at 5'11.75". From my head to my eye is about 3.5", so that would put him at just under 5'10" ( I'm willing to concede a .25 inch.
Josh said on 12/Jun/07
There are some pics of Him and Michelle Williams , Hes Wearing Sandals hes a solid 6'0.
Bad Radio said on 31/May/07
he looks 6 ft in that pic...so maybe ..
Juanito said on 13/Apr/07
Hi there people.
Thats my first comment so i'll try to be accurate. :)

Heath is barely 6 ft.. if anyone watch casanovam, you will see when he was walking with the prince (the doge), the prince was at least 1 1/2 inch taller than Heath.. and Tim McInnerny who plays the doge is listed as 6'1 on all the websites i could find. I dont think any actor would be listed less than they are. So by deduction, Heath is barely 6ft tall.
He wears those special shoes very often so thats why he appaears taller.
Peet said on 10/Apr/07
He look 6'0'' in that picture and in 'Brother Grimm' he taller than Matt Damon 2.5 inchs Matt Damon is 5'9.5''.
tanoliphant said on 4/Apr/07
Yeah, I read that Heath was 6'0-6'4, I can he doesn't look over 6'0 or 6'1.
However, in Brokeback, he did look a little taller! It's hard to tell!
Gonzalo said on 18/Oct/06
Drew, who cares if Ledger or Damon wear lifts in that pic with Bellucci? She is so beautiful...
venus said on 9/Oct/06
From the pic above, I give him 5'11.2 or 6 feet, I doubt it if he is any taller.
anonymous2 said on 27/Sep/06
he looks a solid 180cm to me in the pic with Glenn
Josh said on 17/Sep/06
He doesnt look taller than 6'0
Virginia said on 23/Aug/06
I've met him recently, I'm 5'9 and he is definitely a lot taller than 6'0. I'd say at least 6'2.
Andys said on 1/Aug/06
definitively not more than 6'0 1/2
He doesn't look so taller in the pic because..e he's not strained...it's not a good pic..it's all about pose
Tom said on 31/May/06
6"1' is tall. When someone of 6"1' tall is next to a shorter person, you see a big difference. When someone of 6"1' is next to a taller person, for example 6"3', it's not very shocking.
Elio said on 13/May/06
As i said before, i thought he looked only 4 inches taller. hard to tell though.

The way I see it, Glenn has dark hair and the dark background makes it look like the top of his head stops slightly sooner than it think it does. I see Glenn coming past Ledger's eyeline ... so it could be that Ledger was only 4 inches taller. However, Glenn says he looked the full 6'1" so I could be mistaken.
D.J. said on 12/May/06
There's about 4 inches difference, making Heath 6'.
Blues said on 7/Apr/06
Well Ledger got a weird and long forefront, you can't look at the eyes on the pics to know his height, I think he's really 6'1 on this picture, I've seen many 6'1 - 6'2 guys and this is not that tall, they got only 5 inches of difference after all.
Glenn said on 29/Mar/06
He isnt slouching,but you could tell by looking at his waste that he isnt standing as straight as he could.I always stand like stallone.
Gonzalo said on 29/Mar/06
If Glenn says he is 6`1 I will have to believe it, although the picture shows one different thing. I´m 5`9 and my brother is 6`1 and I can tell you that the difference between us is bigger than Glenn and Ledger. And Ledger is not slouching
iris said on 28/Mar/06
he doesn`t look 6`1 in that pic with glenn...hmmm 6 seems fairly a bit more acurate
anonymous said on 27/Mar/06
Judging from that picture I would guess him to be no taller than 6'1 and not any shorter than 5'11.
Glenn said on 27/Mar/06
He looked 6-1.
Gonzalo said on 27/Mar/06
He doesn`t look 6`1 next to Glenn. 6 feet at the most
Xhavier said on 19/Mar/06
He looks 3" taller than Glenn.
clad-in-black said on 17/Mar/06
I always thought he was 5 '11, after seeing 10 things i hate about you
JenA said on 16/Mar/06
I think he must be about 6' because there is a pic of him next to Lena Olin at the Casanova film premiere in Venice and he looks at least an inch or two taller than her, and she is known to be 5'11".
richinkle said on 22/Feb/06
Heath does not look any more than 4" taller than Glenn in this picture. He could be slouching though. I'll give him 6'-0.5"
Frank P said on 3/Feb/06
I agree with you Stiffelio. I always thougtht 6"1 was what Heath is. I didn't go by the Patriot because we don't have a set height for Mel really. He ranges from 5"6 to 5"10. I DID go by Knight's Tale, next to Bettany and the Still Standing guy. I thought Bettany was 6"4 but you know what? For an inch, so what. Unless your bald, your hair can make up the difference really.
Mr. R said on 20/Jan/06
Heath was listed at 6-3 when The Patriot came out. He did not seem to be 5 inches taller than Mel Gibson. A little more than 3 inches seems right.
Glenn said on 19/Jan/06
never seen damon.my guess is 5-9 and a half on him.heath looked 6-1 to me.he's not standing as straight as he can.
Stiffelio said on 19/Jan/06
elio, I don't think so, it's a clear 5 " difference. In an avarage head there's a 5 " distance between the eye brows and the top of the head, as is the case here. Therefore I'd say 6 ft 1" works for Ledger.

Editor Rob
I can envisage 6ft 1, maybe the posture of heath isn't just quite as same as glenn...or maybe he's in sneakers
elio said on 19/Jan/06
Looking no more than 4 inches taller than Glenn.

I'd say 6'0".
MOF said on 28/Dec/05
The top of Ledger's head just reached Paul Bettany's eyes in Knight's Tale and if Paul is 6'3 than Ledger is probably 5'11 maybe a little closer to 6'0. I'm 5'11 and I reach just over my friends eyes who is 6'3.
Viper652 said on 24/Oct/05
I actually think Matt Damon is 5-7 to 5-8. He always looks short.
Anonymous said on 24/Oct/05
I highly doubt he is that tall, he is shorter then Aussie actor Brian Brown who claims to be 6'.75" so if hes lucky hes 6ft. maybe 5'11.5"
