Jackie was never anywhere near 5'10. Even if you go back and watch his older films from the 1970s, he barely looked over 5ft 7.5. Even now he doesn't look 5'8.
I think 5ft 8.5 might be a bit of a stretch.

No shorter than 174 cm, maybe 175 cm on a good day. This listing is spot on. Jackie look the listed height next to Chris Tucker, Jonathan Ross and Will Smith, if not slightly more

I think the 5'8.5 is spot on, Owen Wilson (5'11) looks a solid 2 inches taller if not a tad more than Jackie.

I've actually met him (no picutres) in an audition for his new film Chinese Zodiac. I was suprised actually not just by how tall he was, but how big he was. He had about 1-1.5 inch shoes on, large hands and head. Incredibly nice guy. I'm 5'11 and there wasn't that much difference between us is all I can say. He only stood up to shake my hand then sat back down, but I was expecting short and tiny, and I met large and quite tall. I wouldn't say 5'8-5'8.5 is out of the question at all

I doubt he was ever 5'10.5 hes always looked kind of short. I'd say 5'9 in his peak probably around 5'7 - 5'8 nowadays.

I would say that Chan is a little over 5'8". He is more like 5'8 1/4". Chan never looked much taller than 5'9".

It appears that Jackie was about 5'10" back in his earlier films. After he had a lot of stunt injuries and surgeries, he probably is now 5'8.5" which is not bad at all.

gotta agree with benny. I can't understand how Jennifer Love Hewitt and him are almost eye to eye in "the tuxedo". if she's really 5'2" and he's really 5'8.5" that's 6.5 inches. he's in dress shoes (about 1.5 inches?) so how does jennifer get almost 8 inches out of her heels? is she taller than 5'2" or is he shorter than 5'8.5" or am i missing something here?

I've met him and took a picture with him (he stood beside me) in the TV station I worked for, then stayed in the meeting room where he was waiting to be interviewed. I observed him for a few minutes and can say that he is around 170-172 cm.

Met him at Rush Hour 2 premier. Shook his hand. I was right next to him, with 1.5-inch shoes. I'm 5'9.5 (176cm). Had my back straight. We were eye-to-eye. He didn't seem to wear big shoes so I guess he's the same height as me (5'9.5)
I would like to know where the sources of 5'6 are coming from. He has a big head by the way so he looks short.

Is he really as short as 5'7" now Phil? Those injuries must have taken their toll on his height, I am sure he was over 5'10" at his peak height.

maybe chan shrunk to 5-8ish now.cause owen is no way taller than 5-11.but chan was 5-10.5 in the 70s.the man broke every bone in his body and had many surgeries.not inconceivable that he lost height.

im not sure what shoe lift he wore in hollywood... but im sure he wore lift that hiddenly gives 2 - 3inch. in late 90s on vacation to Hongkong i was shock to have saw him stand no bigger than 5ft8 with trainers. Which means his about 5ft6.75 barefoot. nowadays hes injured so many times that might be lost a little more , so less at 5ft6 or 5ft6.5 for him. 5ft8.5 was in hollywoood..

thanks Doug, i think you spot on 5-9 is defnitely not short. Chan has an average height for a guy, he just has a bad slouch and this might give an impression that he's shorter.

Sometimes gives a short impression, I used to think he was around 5'7" but then I saw him looking at least two inches taller than 5'7" listed people so the man has to be 5'9" maybe a little more. Utter bull that 5'8" is "short" in general. Its bang on average around the world. Walk down most streets in the world at 5'8" and you will definately not be noticeably short overall, unless nearly every other guy is over 6 foot and how many places in the world do you think this to be true?. People really need to get some sense of reality on here. 5'8"-5'9" like Chan is a regular guy, short compared to some but very average compared to a higher number.

No he's not 5'10.5"....right now, but he may have been when he was younger. With all of his injuries/surgeries shrinking from 5'10.5" to 5'9" by age 54 is not hard to believe at all. Arnold Schwarzenegger was measured at 6'1.5" in the evening in 1969 meaning 6'2" morning height. Yet by Terminator 3 in 2003 when Arnold was 55, it's obvious that Arnie was 6'0" at best.
Chan looks atleast 5'9" next to 6-1 Chris Tucker at premieres even when Chan has very flat sneakers as well. Look at the pictures of Chan with Schwarzenegger and Jet Li below. Jackie is between 5'9" and 5'9.5".

Drunken Master is early 80's or late 70's film, at that time HK adult average height is only about 5'4 or 5'5(162-165). Therefore 5'9 Chan looks very tall and strong! I met him recently in Beijing in Olympic games. He is max 5'7, even shorter!

By the way Glenn I got the original Drunken Master DVD not long ago. Great movie and I'm not sure how tall Chan looked in it, but I think he may have been the tallest guy in the movie, if not he was one of them. I had actually seen the movie a long time ago, but I had forgotten most of it.

Chan always looks anywhere from 5'9" to 5'10.5" in premiere pictures next to Chris Tucker, although Tucker slouches a lot, so more 5'9" in those pictures.
Chan did look atleast 5-9 in almost every premiere picture with Jet Li, 5-10ish in a lot too.
I don't find 5'10.5" peak(before all of those injuries) that hard to believe. He still isn't under 5'9" and I've never seen him in suspicious shoes.

Met Jackie Chan and took group pics with him when he came to San Francisco for the opening of an elderly center he sponsored a few years ago. I'm 5'9 and my co-worker is about 5'11. When Jackie stood next to us, he was looking up at us and laughed that we were too tall. He jumped on the window sill and leaned on us for the pics. Very funny moment. I would guess his height at about 5'7.

I met him in Hong Kong in the summer of 2007. Back then, I was 5.8 and he was definetively shorter than me. I assume then that he is 5.7 or something around. He probably lost a couple of inches due to age and accidents. He was probably 5.10 once, but a long while ago.

5-8.5 prime for chan? i guess everyone forgot what i saw in person and what is fact on film.he claims 5-10.5 and i believe him.had many injuries in his career.looks a legit 5-9 most of his career,closer to 5-10 in the 70s and early 80s.

Look, Jackie is owning Chen Guan's height almost, and you can't tell a big difference in 2cm. If Chen Guan would be standing in the same position like Jackie they would be the same height.. So if it shows him as a 172cm he can still also be a 174cm. But 172 i still nice to know.^^

Better pic with 172cm(Offical data) Xu Zhi An -> Jackie stands straight = He ownt Xu Zhi with 1-2cm.
With Andy Lau (174cm) -> Both not in any good position = Still shows a quite familiar height.
Really nice that you put all these pictures on here, but they are mostly not good to tell heights, still appreciated!
He still looks 174~ on the pictures, I have mentioned above.

He still looks 174~ on the pictures, I have mentioned above.

By the mid 90's he looked 5-9 flat. In probable lifts Sly towered over him and even when he was liftless(probably) Sly had a good inch and a half on him.

much better pics.but i still see him taller than you claim.maybe not what i claim.push him back in that line.and straighten him more.he would be taller.the man injured himself many times over the years.its possible he lost height and maybe alot of it.hulk hogan went from 6-7 to 6-3.5.i think in his youth chan was the height he claims.5-10.5.he looked 5-10 in his late 70s,early 80s films.5-9 as he got older.

Man Felix you really like downgraded Asian actors. Asian actors of today is much taller than the ones back in the day. Nicholas Tse is 174cm, not your claim of being 168-170. When he stands next to Shawn Yue or Edison Chen (who are both 178cm) I have never saw a drastic difference between their height. Tian Liang is 172cm tall. And also, Jackie Chan was a good 178cm back in his old days, he had at least 2 inches on Bruce Lee, who is about 171cm tall as listed on this site. I highly doubt that he had lost 3 inches in height even with all of the injuries that he had suffer. He has never appeared short in Asian Films starring THE YOUNG GENERATION of ASIAN ACTORS. So my guess is he is a minimal 173cm tall. Your 170cm claim is absolutely incorrect.

Standing together with Xie Ting Feng, he is almost the same with Xie. Xie claims he is 174cm, but he is shorter than 172cm's Lin Jun Jie, almost the same with 168cm's Tian Liang (Olympic Games Diving Champion.) Tian is a sportsman, his height is true, therefore Xie is about 168-170, Chan (Cheng Long) is 170 Max!

watch him wheels on meals, he's taller than lola forner' who is listed as 5'6. and also she was wearing heals. this movie came out in da 80s so its safe to assume that he was 5'10-5'11 in his prime days.

He is almost the same height with his son Fang Zu Ming whose offical height is about 175cm-178cm. But in smae films, Fang is at least 1 inch shorter than 174cm's Yu Wen Le and 175cm's Huang Qiu Sheng! Only a little taller than 169cm's Xie Ting Feng. I estimate Chan is only 170cm now!

In an Asian movie I watched I think it was Police Story and he said he was 175cm. I thought he was shorter but maybe because he's so built and he looks short.

That he was ~5.10 in his 20's is just true, since he and his old movies absolutely agree with it. It's said that a man loses 4-5cm height from age 30-70, and he's 54, plus count all his injuries. Lost about 2inch, ~5ft8 is ok, Absolutely Acceptable!

OK....saw a clip on youtube jackie chan on the ellen degeneres show. And i was in shock to see how short chan was. Ellen is liested here as 5'7". Chan looked that height or maybe half an inch taller. And ellen doesn't wear heels or anything, jsut normal flat causal shoes. So i'm saying Jackie Chan (one of my heroes) is 5'7.5"-5'8" tall now and was 5'10" at his peak. I truly believe that this is jackie chan's height before and after.

Not only that (countless injuries through the years in dozens of films), but count his age in too. The guy is in his 50's now. Perhaps he was 5' 10 and 1/2" as a 20 year old but age and accidents have taken its toll on his body.

He could have been 5.10 in his youth; Everybody knows that you lose bit of a height when you get old, and looking at his age he probably lost his 1 inch lol xD And all the injuries he had in the past 28 years (just guessing now haha xD) make problems in the height too, lol lol lol lol. He won't be under 5.8, but I believe he was about 5.10 in his youth. Anyways... I hate my 5.10(bit less) height hihihi xD
And to the guy who said he looks like 5.7 next to bhachan 6.0, bhachan is more than 6.2 ;/

He's HUGE! compared to Jet Li and that white kid on FK.
well ok not huge. 2 or 3 inches isn't much.
so 5'8-5'9.
ive seen him in Rotarua afew times =D and hes not exactly small. he actually looks 5'11 from afar.
same place Johnny Depp was and even he appeared taller from afar. i think i saw 5'10 with him.
Chain is one of the taller Martial arts actors.
most martial artist around the world dont even make the 6 foot mark. or get anywhere near it.

Jackie is definitely above 5.6 sinces he stands at least 2-3 inches taller than Jet in some recent shots and Jet Li does look like a typical 5.6ish Asian. In fact, Jet is often smaller than his other Asian co-stars. Jackie has never come across as being particularly short, and i always thought it was funny how Chris Tucker brings up his height when he's probably only 3 inches taller and is obviously a pretty tall guy...

To glenn perhaps the height 5'10.5 was him with his shoes on, it's pretty easy for people to add an inch to their barefoot height because almost everyone is doing it, but he does seem a legit 5'8.5 these days, he wasn't dwarfed by letterman, and he stands almost head to toe with stefan raab who's about 5'10 with pretty flat soles.

I've also seen several of his really old films and he does look easily 5'10" or so. Considering that he's broken so many bones and had so many injuries, I think it's pretty possible to lose a significant amount of height. He looks around 5'9" to me.

If you'll refer to the pics I posted months ago (don' know if they're still here) with actors Woody Harrelson and Kane Kosugi on the set of RH3, Chan looked at least 5'8.5 - even 5'9 w/ Harrelson. And if we take his injuries and age into account, 5'9.5 - 5'10 is very possible for peak height.

also if you follow this link Click Here that was jackie before he wrecked himself with injuries, and he seems to have a rather long and lean torso, and looks proportionate from top to bottom, unlike how he looks now(a dominantly large skull), which leads me to believe he had lost height since.

to be funny than accurate... if you do the math snoop dogg is 6-3.5 this would then make chan 5-9.5.. he does look short in this film but in Rush Hour 1 he definitely looked 5-10 agian gets the flak for his height by chris tucker who deos't tower him dramtically. chan in reality is 5-9 at most

Jackie has never looked 5'6". Ever. He's always looked 5'8", possibly 5'9". Goodness. Now, as for his comment about being 5'10 1/2" it's with his occasional lifts, lol.
@ Leonari: Yeah, he was quite tall for his generation at the time. It's pretty obvious that he was taller than Bruce (and Jet for that matter), so the 5'6" is just nonsense.

Jackie was taller than Bruce. almost 2 inches.Guys here saying 5'6" for Jackie are fools. The man has a huge head and weird proportions but for an asian of his generation he is quite a tall guy..especially in his youth before he broke every single bone of his body...

Take a look at this clip which slow-mo's the part in ETD where Bruce Lee snaps Jackie Chan's neck..
Click Here
It's hard to tell since they both aren't in the best standing position as Jackie grabs Bruce from behind, but you can tell Jackie is probably a few inches taller than Bruce. If Bruce was 5-7.5, Jackie was definitely over 5-9+ in his prime.

I think Jackie was exaggerating his height when saying 5ft10.5, but his peak height was probably over 5ft9. He is not as short as ppl think. His body structure just makes him look shorter.

Simple explanation Tim. Chan has a gigantic head. In every photo I have seen of him, he always has a bigger head than everyone around him.
That is what makes him look short. People who meet him then realize he is taller than he looks in a photo.

Chan's height must be one of the biggest controversies. Some people say he is or was at his peak, as tall as 5'10.5" others say he could be as short as 5'7". He always looks short to me in his films, however, the majority of people who have met him say he is at least 5'9". Difficult one this.

I disagree, I believe this guy is around 178cm. I saw him in early 90's, even shake hands with him when he performed a football exhibition game in our country. I was suprised he is huge in person contrary to what we see in his movies. He is kind and a nice man man too. I say Jacky Chan is 5'10".

My friend managed to get a photo with him a few years back. My friend is about 5'9.5" and with average posture he was about 1"-1.5" taller then Chan in the picture. So I guess a minimum of 5'8" for Chan is about right.

chan looks a weak 5'10 if not 5'10 near Chris Tucker. I just think its a combination of posture, and Chan's stocky proportions which give him an appearance of a 5'8ish man. If i'm not mistaken, I think Steve Carell was listed at 5'8 on this site, and this was due to his posture and stocky proportions.

In the Rush Hour 2 clip where Chan & Tucker are both barefoot & standing side by side Chan only looks about 2 inches shorter than Tucker, and Tucker is 6' & so Chan stands 5'8" to 5'10".

yeah, people often forget just how broken down Chan is. i'm surprised he isn't in a wheelchair after decades of crazy stunts.
i'll stick to a little above 5'8 nowadays.

Hey, look at Hulk Hogan, he used 2 be around 6'7", but b/c of so many surgeries he's now a little over 6'4"(barely 1/2"taller than me). Age and/or injuries can be a factor. Jackie Chan obviously made a mistake stating one too many inches to his original height! He probably used 2 be 5'9 1/2" or 5'10"!
HE IS NOW 5'9" OR SLIGHTLY SHORTER! From my own experience, if a person is at your eye level or below(and you are a full grown person), he is at least 5" OR MORE shorter than you.
Chris Tucker IS BELIEVABLE AT EXACTLY 6'1" TALL, SO JACKIE IS DEFINITELY LESS THAN 5 INCHES SHORTER!!! CHRIS TUCKER CAN NOT SEE OVER JACKIE'S HEAD!! Think about it, and look at yourself in the mirror with a tape-measure! Take my word for it...my word's always Gold!!

How can one loose 5cm from injuries and still be in top athletic shape is beyond me. I saw am asian movie with Jet Li and he looked average. I'd say 5'8-9. Maybe the movies of Chan that Glenn saw were also asian movies. Not only are asians a little shorter than western people, but their older generation was very poor and much shorter than the new one. Plus martial artists (acrobats) tend to be even shorter.
I'm sure of the relation of economy & height because in my country, after the throw of the communist regime, height has increased 2 inches in 3 years and another inch the next years. At 5'10.5 for its generation, Chan would have to be one bloody tall chinese. Even 174 is probably too much for him.

I am not really a Jackie Chan fan but it makes me mad whenever he was made fun of his height in his own movie. It doesn't matter if he is 5-8 or 5-10 because these heights are not really considered short in American standard. He is simply not THAT short comparing to many American movie stars, probably about the same height as Johnny Depp (who I believe is about 5-8, not 5-10 as he claims - I shaked hand with him once) and Tom Cruise. Jackie Chan probably looks shorter than he really is because of his stocky build. In reality, I simply NEVER met any guy under 6ft don't boose up their height..... It is just a guy thing.

I was in Hong Kong visiting my travel agent, and there was a HK tourist cardboard duplicate of Jackie CHan. Of course, it's very possible the photo was enlarged or minimized, but it was one of those 'life-sized' posters boards, so you can take your picture with the 'star.' Anyway, the cardboard Chan was around 5'8".

Infact they were same around shoulder height, but jackie has got quite a long face and big head. I'd give Jackie 5'8'' barefoot now and probably 5'9.5'' in his peak where didn't suffer so many injuries.

i would give chan no more then 5'10 in his early years, he is 5'9 now, but there's no way he had lost over an inch in height due to injuries, he looks bout 5'10 in his old films and no more, he wasn't exactly a standout in terms of height in his hk films.

Chan looked over 5'10 in his early movies. He was markedly taller than Maggie Cheung in Police Story 1 and 2, IIRC

so rob you are saying that if someone is healthy and no back problem at 40 he shouldnt loose anything and at 50 max 0.5 to 1 cm but at 60 people might loose more

Editor Rob that's what I think. But, some discs might thin more than others, spines may curve a little more. Generally I would say by 50 if your a man and lost 1/2 inch, that would seem more than average. But, if your body has been through the ringer, maybe you've worn your cartilage in knees or damaged vertebrae you'll likely lose a bit more than average.
From 50-70 loss will be more noticeable

Yah, I agree with everything you guys Glenn, trueheight and Joe say. I was really surprised to see him listed as low as 5'8.5" here actually, as I always KNEW him to be 5'10"+ in his younger days. But with broken bones, injuries and stuff like Editor Rob said, he probablly did shrink down 1.5" or so.

he's 5'9". I've met him, he doesn't wear heels in real life that's why he looks short in real life. What you see is really how tall he is, although he will tend to wear heels in his movies.

Brad: this one is not like Sly b/c there is no verifiable evidence that Chan is any lower than 174 cm in recent years. I would believe 1.78cm in the 1970s as peak.
Check out the pics I posted of him w/ Harrelson and Kosugi...and they were shot after hours of stunt work on the set of RH3. Glenn says he saw 5'9 - he's got like 100% credibility and respect on this site b/c he actually has empirical evidence. Too many folks here claim "I met this person and..." but never substantiate w/ a photo or two.

I'd say he's around 5-8. He was a Korean show where everyone was wearing just socks, and he looked the same height, if not slightly taller, than the female host who is 5-8.

I'd say at the very least 174cm or 5'8.5 - 5'9 is quite plausible. Seeing his earlier HK films, he always appears taller than his co-stars. That was his personal RH3 diary - I wish he would post his plans beforehand so that I could go and meet him; I live around the LA/OC area and am exactly 5'9. Like alot of the places he visited, I had been to before many many times

For those who like to speculate on jackie's height being shorter then they wish must be a tad bit insecure bout themselves? if he looked short being 5'8.5-5'9 on his films, it's probably becuase most of the american actors he worked with stood in the 6 feet range. Listing chan as 5'6 is hilarious and an obvious contortion of facts, for that i will add in my own agenda saying chan is 5'11 bare footed just for good measure, and it won't matter to me anyhow since i would still be taller than him:)

i think that jackie might have been close to 5ft 10 when he was in his 20's, but because of the stunts and how they have taken a toll on his body, he has shrunken at least 1 inch since his peak height, i say he is about 5'8, maybe just a lil taller

Sammo Hung is 5'6, maybe less, which makes Jackie even smaller.
he was probably close to 5'9.5 when he was younger, until he virtually destroyed himself with stunts in the '80s/early '90s.
what was his footwear when you met him, Glenn?

If you look at pics of Jackie next to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, it's clear he's at MOST 5'8.5". Yuen Biao is listed as 5'7", as is Sammo Hung. There is no way that Jackie Chan is anywhere near 5'10", and I'd question 5'8".

The guy I was with is 5-9, and Jackie was shorter than him. I am 5-4, and I didn't have to raise my head to look him in the eye, which I would if he was 5-9. We were both wearing sneakers. I'd guess 5-7. Very nice and polite man.

Jackie was never 5'10.5.
he's just like Bruce Lee, Tony Jaa and countless other martial artists: wide chest and shoulders paired with small waist and hips gives the impression of being taller.
i have this body type, and at 5'6, 120 pounds, if someone stands at 10 feet from me, i can pass for 5'8.
Chan was 5'9.5 pre Police Story/Armour of God/Project A, 5'8 now.

Chris Tucker towers over Jackie in the Rush Hour movies. I dont know if jackie wears lifts or "special shoes", maybe thick heeled shoes. And I dont know if jackie is being a comedian when he said he's 5'10 and a half, but I have to disagree with him. Jackie at 5'8 is more realistic.

HelloKitty. That is an interesting point about Tom Cruise. I recently made a remark on his page. I have never met him but I had always read years ago that he was 5'7" and one source said he was 5'6". Shortly after he was married to Nichole Kidman, I read he was 5'9" then after they divorced 5'7" againd. The wierd thing is he always looked short in his earlier movies yet he doesn't look so short now, so he is one person whose I height I haven't a clue about. My apologies for mentioning about Tom Cruise on Jackie Chan's page.

No problem guys (Earl & Tenacious). Tenacious, I'm new here, happened to stumble on this site several months ago after that whole thing with tom cruise (not his baby or katie holmes, but more about his remarks about depression and scientology. I dont want to get into his beliefs, whatever works for him. I wanted to see how tall he was listed, I've met him before, he was wearing dress boots and I would guess 5'7 to 5'8 wearing them, without them I'm sure he's shorter barefoot. I like tom and his movies but he's been acting weird especially on Oprah.

My apologies HelloKitty. I do think though you will find that Chan is at least 5'8" barefoot as trueheight says. I would have put him closer to 5'9". I could be wrong but I do not think Chan or Lee would have worn lifts because it could ruin their posture for martial arts.

Stallone is giving 6 footers a run for their money today. I'm starting to think he has had his bones lengthened, if that's even possible?

I have seen Chan's movies and I would say he is a minimum of 5'8" probably taller. I suppose the fact that he is quite stocky with broad shoulders and a large head could mislead people into thinking he is short. I have noticed that most martial arts experts adopt a stance so it is difficult to see their true height in movies.

'None of those pictures will convince me he was anymore the 5'6.5"!'
then nuttin' will!! wake up and smell da truth! UR the same guy who thinks bruce lee is 5-6 right? photographs only deceiving from bad angles when one subject closer to cam than the other....full FRONTAL shots are pretty reliable if subjects both same distance from cam from wide shot like jackie+arnie. opinions are good = freedom-of-speech....but BIASED opinions base on ASSumptions with no proof ish bad = hate-speech---

Anony: I would'nt say 5'10, not now anyways. More like 174 like estimated above.
Not just this board but TONS of others as well, the problem is ppl are making baseless inferences about celebs wearing lifts. Only when we have a suggestive photo or print source can we make such inferences like for Cruise and Stallone.
but you're right Anony, there are some unwelcome trolls in almost all popular boards making ridiculous claims without so much as a shred of evidence. But because of their lack of credibility, the estimates won't budge

those pics, 'Anony' posted does not show the feet where lifts can be. if the argument was that he isn't 5'6", then there is no need to proceed further, but for actual height, they cannot be admitted as evidence. 5'8.5", give or take a half, and i am taking the half
5'8" and shrinking

Ehh, Chris Tucker is closer to 6-0. Chan does look at the very least 5-8 5-8.5 though in that pic with him. I think 5-8 and change is his true barefoot height.

Any 5'6 guy who quotes around 5'11 would be commited to the looney bin; my theory is. he was closer the 5'10 as a youngster as most of his 70s and 80s films will show but has shrunk to just under 5'9. Hey, Clint shrunk almost 3inches due to back surgery; Have you ever seen any of his stunt documentaries? He's literally been injured hundreds of times, i wouldnt expect his spine to be in pristine condition

Editor Rob he's mentioned before he's wrecked his knees and probably has little cartilage left plus back and other numerous injuries...how much he's lost is debatable

I agree with HT, he's no more than 5-7, most likely 5-6. Anybody who thinks he's 5-9 or 5-8 is seriously disturbed. Jackie's height doesn't include the top of his hair, come on now.
