His model girlfriend, who is ALWAYS taller than Di Caprio ( importantly, not wearing heels whatsover ), is 5'11.5. And all the pictures out there prove one thing: she is taller than Di Caprio.

About mid way in the article it says: "At 5 ft. 11 in. and 175 lbs., he claims he can bench-press 205 lbs."

How tall is his model girlfriend she looks taller then him

If you're a big A-lister you add 4-5cm to your height. Leo can't be taller than 181cm but most of his career he was talked about as if he was 185
James B said on 11/Oct/14
These days leo is not that lean yet he still looks taller than 5'11 flat. When I first saw the beach thought he looked 6'1 in that film.
rockitbaby said on 7/Oct/14
This is Leo next to Guillaume Canet, who is listed 1,76m. Leo is the classic 1,80m guy.

Rob i use to think leo was 5'11.5-11.75 now i think 5'11-11.25 dinner time
Editor Rob
11.25 is always a real possibility
Judd said on 7/Oct/14
I think Leo is 5'11.25" and Chris Nolan 5'11"
jtm said on 7/Oct/14
he would look shorter than nolan if nolan stood up straight.
Jack said on 6/Oct/14
I agree watterbottle. Not only that but Leo looks to be a bit shorter in some pics. Also Christopher is definetly not a lift wearer
waterbottle said on 6/Oct/14
Funny how Leo is listed at 6'0" nearly everywhere, but he he looks the same exact height as Christopher Nolan (great director btw), who is listed at 5'11" everywhere. I even think 5'11.5" is a bit generous. I would give him 5'10.75"-5'11", especially if we are factoring in NO footwear and if his hair was flattened down or shaven. There is obviously not a difference at all betweem Nolan and Leo:

beau, agencies have been known to downgrade heights as well as upgrade them to fit the ideal. They might say she is 180cm but she may be even taller, which is not desirable for clothing companies chasing the perfect 5'10 female model.
rockitbaby said on 5/Oct/14
@beau I've read a lot of websites that list her as 1,81m. But if she is this height then Leo is under 1,80m...
184.3cm said on 5/Oct/14
Classic 180cm guy. Look at that film, The Beach. He never looks Tallish only slightly above average. Didnt Tower his co-star either in Shutter Island and that guys what? 170cm? Ruffalo.
beau said on 4/Oct/14
I suggest you guys look at every single picture with his current model-girlfriend. She is ( as her modelling agency lists her ) 180 cm tall, and every time she looks taller than DiCaprio. Every. Single. Time.
PS Barefoot, to be precise.
rockitbaby said on 2/Oct/14
I think he's 1,80m or 1,81m. And he probably did grew up until his twenties =)
cole said on 2/Oct/14
According to Madame Tussauds Beijing, Leo is 4-5 inches taller than Depp: Click Here lol...
But it's not unlikely that he filled in a little after 18/19, however I very much doubt he grew more than an inch. Age 18/19: 5'10, fully grown: 5'11.
John86 said on 1/Oct/14
And might I say, Leo at 18 years old in What's Eating Gilbert Grape is an amazing example of a very late bloomer. He looks an inch shorter than 5'9 Depp and has the face of a 15 year old. He must have grown until he was about 23. He looked full adult height in Titanic, at 24.
John86 said on 1/Oct/14
Ah the classic 'my man has to be taller than me', but she forgot to mention the '...in heels' part at the end. :-) Typical example of a girl thinking her heel height is her actual height. Leo was taller than her/same height, no doubt about it.

5'11 for Leo is fair, no less than that.
rockitbaby said on 30/Sep/14
This picture was taken in 1993 and Leo was like 18,19. He's slightly taller than Depp and Depp is listed as 1,75m. Is it possible that Leo grew up 7cm after turning 18? I don't think so. He's 1,81 tops!

Dmeyer said on 29/Sep/14
Évén thaugh he fooled me for about 6ft in person i think 5'11.25 is closer
jasperwazup said on 29/Sep/14
Leo is 181cm tops maybe 182 out of bed. I'm 178cm and people used to tell me I looked 182,183. Leo has a bigger forehead than me and slightly longer legs. I have a 30'' pant and was generally 28''-29'' at 13. about 5'7''-5'7.5''.
rockitbaby said on 28/Sep/14
@Jack hahahaha I agree, Leo is not 1,82m. Like, EVER. Correct this Rob! =) Some people say that Bradley is actually taller than 1,84m. How tall is Ben Affleck? Around 1,91m? Bradley seems to be 5cm shorter than Ben. That Makes Leo 1,80 tops!

Downgrade him Rob for the love of god. Get him to 179. Or at least 180. I mean look at all these evidence pics
Jack said on 25/Sep/14
rockitbaby
In that pic Leo looks around 6 cms shorter/ I would give him around 178 based on that pic alone. But Bradley likes lifts so I dont know for sure
cole said on 25/Sep/14
@rockitbaby: More like 179 or 180 in that pic, but no visible footwear.
Tyler said on 25/Sep/14

If Bradley Cooper is really 1,84m, then Leo is 1,81m or 1,80m.

rockitbaby said on 19/Sep/14
@lelman same picture by another angle. Leo is a little bit taller than Johnny. He's definitely 1,81 tops. Depp is like 1,78m.

Click Here
lelman said on 19/Sep/14
@rockitbaby Leo was what 18-19 there? It's possible he got an extra inch or so after that (not likely, but don't rule it out.) Depp might also be wearing lifts or something.

I think Leo is in the 180cm range for sure, and Depp is probably around 176.
rockitbaby said on 18/Sep/14
@Jason oh but I mean his actual height in the morning. Because during the day our heights usually get shorter. I think Leo is 1,80 or 1,81. But it's weird because Johnny Depp is listed as 5'10 in lots of places and he's as height as Leo here:

From that video Jean looks taller than Leo. So im going to say that hes 179. Definetly doesnt drop below that. But, he may early in the morning go above 180.
rockitbaby said on 17/Sep/14
Jean Dujardin claims he's 1,81m and they look pretty much the same height in the video below. I think Leo is 1,81m or 1,80m. I was exagerating by saying he was 1,83m.

Jason said on 16/Sep/14
The only question is when are we going to get the downgrade. I would say a 3cm. downgrade. But 2 would also be appropriate from what I see.
Thoughts Rob?
Editor Rob
181 is a perfectly reasonable argument for Leo, he can look 5ft 11-11.5 generally.
rockitbaby said on 15/Sep/14
@Marty Yeah, he's close to 6'0 in this pic but he's wearing shoes so he's probably around 5'11, tops.

@Jason you're right, Leo is probably 1,80 =)
Arch Stanton said on 15/Sep/14
Rob you might want to mention that in Catch Me If You Can (which is worth adding BTW as is The Aviator, Gangs of New York and Revolutionary Road) that his character was described as 6 ft and 160 pounds.
Jason said on 15/Sep/14
@Marty
While I do believe the guy is somewhere between 178-179 we cant say for certain whether or not he is in lifts. But, even if he isnt he is still slightly below 180. Because in that pic he is a bit lower and then those shoes lessen the heel a bit more than 1 inch.
Marty said on 14/Sep/14
@Rob, His chin is at the 5-0 mark & the top of his head is 6-0. This pic shows it.But he is wearing a 1 inch lift & a 1 inch thick sole so he is 5-10 in socks

Nope I stood next to his effigy at Sydney Darling Harbour madame tussauds.. he was also on a platform and was 2 inches shorter than me I am 6 ft. dicaprio is 5.9 at most if the wax works was accurate
Jason said on 14/Sep/14
@rockitbaby You cant take a pic like that for reference
Gisele is prolly 178-9 But the way they are walking sweks perception.
Look at her head her hips her shoes
all of them are slightly less than Leo i nthat pic she is down to 175. Leo doesnt look much taller than a 5'9 guy in that pic because of how much she drops.
177cmGuy said on 14/Sep/14
If he is 182cm he's closer to 6'0 then 5'11
rockitbaby said on 13/Sep/14
I think it's weird because Gisele is like 1,79m and she is more than 1cm shorter than Leo. Unless she's shorter than that.

so..dicaprio is taller than beckham?
dante said on 10/Sep/14
All the pictures below me show clearly DiCaprio is nowhere above 180 cm early morning. Too much evidence of that + the confessions of all the modesl he was with, who clearly stated they were taller than he was ( for example Gisele Bundchen who claims 180 cm ).

i would say dicaprio is in the 179-180cm range.
Marty said on 8/Sep/14
@Rockitbaby Leo's head measures nearly 12 inches which is above average compared to the standard 9 inches. This makes him look taller.
Editor Rob
Leo must be brothers with Maurice Tillet or Nicolai Valuev if his head is anywhere near that :)
cole said on 7/Sep/14
@Red183: Yeah, I mean from chin to top of head when you look straight forward.
I would say 5'11 flat is the absolute most he looks with Waltz and Foxx in that particular shot.
I don't think this one with JGL and Cillian Murphy has been linked before: Click Here
Again he looks nothing over 5'11.
rockitbaby said on 6/Sep/14
@cole great picture to compare! If Robbie is 1,66m as it's listed here, I would say that Leo is definitely slightly above 1,80m. She's in the same height as his nose practically...there would be around 14 or 15cm of difference?
rockitbaby said on 5/Sep/14
@Marty yeah, he's like 1,81m, very close to 1,83m as this pic shows.
Marty said on 4/Sep/14
DiCaprio is 5-10 flat foot. In this pick he is wearing a 1 inch lift in his dress shoes that have a 1 inch sole.

cole said on 4/Sep/14
@Red183: Do you know your head lenght and eyeline? I'm near enough 180 cm (within 1-2mm) at my usual low and have a 24 cm / 9.5in long head, and an eyeline of 12 cm or so / 4.75in. 170 cm is pretty much bang on my eyebrows. I think Leo has an average sized head - somewhere in 9in range and seemingly 4.5in or so eyeline. I can't see how he'd measure much more than myself at his low unless he's dropping a little posture in most pics he's appeared 180 cm, which based on what I've seen seems to be in the majority.
Paul said on 3/Sep/14
@rockitbaby : no doubt , Leo height is around 180 cm at midday (barefoot) .
Marty said on 2/Sep/14
@Cole: That shot is from the actual movie. He has 1 inch soles on his dress shoes so he definitely is not 6 foot flat footed. With shoes he barely makes the 6 foot mark by a hair. Now if he is wearing a standard 1 inch lift, he is only 5-10 flat foot.
rockitbaby said on 2/Sep/14
@Paul I agree Paul! When I watched Gilbert Grape they were the same height and Leo was already older back then.

I don't know how tall is Joseph Gordon-Levitt but he seems to be 1,76m and Leo is at least 5cm taller.

Paul said on 2/Sep/14
@cole : yeah , 182 is impossible ! but the thing that impress me about Leo height ; when he was 19 years look 178 cm max with Deep !
Paul said on 2/Sep/14
@dante : right he's max 181 cm in the morning , midday around 180 cm ( barefoot)
dante said on 2/Sep/14
Guys, he is visibly shorter than Tom Hanks in "Catch me if you can", approx. 2-3 cm difference. With that in mind, I don't think you could find a better guess. He is definitely 180 cm.
Out of the context of standing near other people, seriously, he doesn't look when standing alone anything more than that. He simply doesn't even give an impression of someone taller than 180cm. Take, for example, Robert Pattinson who is 184 cm tall. Take him alone, again. He looks much taller than DiCaprio, which would again justify 180cm for DiCaprio.
There's too much evidence to suggest that DiCaprio is nowhere above 180cm ( ok, 181 at the max max most in the very morning, straight out of bed ).
cole said on 1/Sep/14
@Paul: Yeah I know. It's still nearer 182 cm than 181 cm though - hence why I think a 5'11.5 listing is too much.
rockitbaby said on 31/Aug/14
Jean Dujardin claims he's 1,81m and Leo is exactly his height...
Paul said on 31/Aug/14
@cole : 5ft 11.5in = 181.61 cm not 182 ;)
Paul said on 30/Aug/14
@cole : right , i think he could be [ 179.5 cm - 181 cm ] barefoot at midday .
cole said on 30/Aug/14
@Paul: I've seen 178, 179, 180 and 181 cm mentions on various sites. Some have him at 183 or 185 cm, the highest I've seen is 187 cm, but I haven't seen 182 cm on any other site than this. Personally I do think he can look in the upper 179 cm range at times, like 5'10.75, which is something he could measure late in the evening - but 5'10 flat is too low a guess. Mostly it looks like he hovers around 5'11 flat.
TJE said on 29/Aug/14
Never looked like he would pass for 6'0. 180-181/ strong 5'11.
cole said on 29/Aug/14
@Marty: Never seen it from that angle before, interesting. Is it from 'behind the scenes'? Maybe they shot that scene in a way that he would look a little over the 6ft mark, which he looked in the movie - but not in this shot. Another addition to the flat 5'11 case. Nice.

What do you think guys? :)
Marty said on 29/Aug/14
DiCaprio in this mug shot from his Wall Street flick is 6-0. Assume he is in standard 1 inch thick dress shoes with a 1 inch lift, so he might be 5-10 flat footed. https://twitter.com/martyX25/status/505219657800773634/photo/1
rockitbaby said on 26/Aug/14
It's complicated because we always base on other people's height. If their heights are not correct, then Leo is taller or shorter. It also depends on the angle, the shoes they're wearing, etc. Leo is taller than Cate in this picture but maybe she isn't 5'8 but shorter than that. Or he's as tall as Jean Dujardin and Jean is not 6'0 but 5'11. Anyway...I've read Jean saying that he's always been 1,81m.
Dmeyer said on 26/Aug/14
I agree leo with hill , cooper , macguire can look a 180.5cm/5'11 Guy no more
Jason said on 26/Aug/14
I agree with Cole. But he can look even only 11cms taller than Jonah. He does generall tower him, but Leo also has better posture, weighs less, uses more lifts, and all around has a head that gravitates everything. Also, with all pics of Jami Foxx and him, Foxx for some reason bends down like he deadlifted 150 kilos. So, Leo is only like 179.
cole said on 25/Aug/14
I'm not usually a big fan of these rants that go on forever, and I tend to divert from doing them, but I want to ask a few questions, and speak my mind a bit.
It might be a little unnecessary, because I might already know the various answers, but here it goes...

@rockitbaby: You're right in that Leo mostly looks 12 cm taller than Jonah - who's listed, and looks 168 cm. Personally I think one of the ways that people are trying to rationalise Leo being a 182 cm guy, is by upgrading guys like Jonah to 170 cm. In my opinion - he's not. As far as I can tell he looks about 168 cm with every single person I've seen him with in decent shots. With Seth Rogen and Michael Fassbender for example, they look about the same height as Leo compared to Jonah. Seth's not 182 cm, Michael's not 182 cm - that's clear when stacking them up against many other celebs. On Blanchett I've said this before: her claim is "about 5'8" - isn't it more likely that she's 173 cm or under, rather than over? I haven't seen too much of her to be sure, but I feel like that's the consensus when someone is using the word "about" when referring to their height.

To everyone (please give your two cents on this picture as well @editor rob): I've posted it before, but it's definitely worth posting again, as most people sadly just kind of neglected it the first time: Click Here Frankly I'm a little stunned that it hasn't been mentioned at all - as I think it's one of the few good shots to argue Leo's height relative to others' - and one where I think it's hard to argue much over 180 cm, due to the reasons I am about to mention.

This is what I'm thinking. Feel free to explain why you agree/disagree, by posting better evidence, for example.
Going by the picture with Foxx, Waltz and Jackson alone, if Leo's in fact a legit 181-182 cm guy - it would mean both Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz are claiming 1-2 cm under their real height. Is it just me or is it more likely that Leonardo DiCaprio - a beloved Hollywood-star of many, many years is the one upgrading himself/being upgraded, rather than two (compared to Leo) relatively new Hollywood-faces downgrading themselves? Then there's a 187 cm (ish) - loosly standing Samuel L. Jackson, in less footwear - still looking about 5 cm taller than Leo. I understand that this is just one picture, and that there might be higher res pics from this event, from better angles - but this is the best I have to go on at the moment.

I feel like I'm being quite reasonable here - but then some might say I'm just deluded and insecure.
Let the record show: I'm not. I honestly believe 5'11 is an all around better shout than 5'11.5. I don't care more about what height Leo is listed at than anyone else, to me it just feels as though it's one of the more stand-out listings that examplifies a 0.5in generosity, when compared to others.

I guess my main questions are: how do you decide which people to give the benefit of the doubt, if you're guessing them between two marks, like say 5'11 and 5'11.5. Why go with the highest arguable height? Especially when personally you claim your lowest measured height. If we're talking about a morning measurement, then sure, I can see Leo measuring 5'11.5 or thereabouts, but it's not something he looks consistantly when actual pictures are being taken at events, premieres etc. Tell me if I'm wrong here, but aren't those events/premieres usually taking place in the evening?
Also I get that it's not possible to be 100% accurate, and say "he/she looks this and that much shorter/taller than him/her", when the people in question are wearing different footwear, having a different stance, different hair styles as well as the camera-angle could be questionable - but what makes you decide to go with 182 cm for DiCaprio and 170 cm for Christoph Waltz (for example) - when in nearly every picture, you couldn't really argue there being more than 10 cm between them?
dadang said on 25/Aug/14
He's only 5'9.5" (175cm) without shoes and 5'11.5" (181cm) with elevated shoes. End of the story.
rockitbaby said on 24/Aug/14
@cole It's true. But check this picture of him and Cate Blanchett in this page. She's very tall, around 1,74cm, and even with high heels she's shorter than Leo. Of course his shoes have at least 3cm of heels but he seems to be 1,82. And assuming Jonah Hill is like 1,70cm, I can see a 12cm difference in the link below and in the one you posted.

Click Here
cole said on 23/Aug/14
@rockitbaby: Garrn looks at least 3 cm taller there, but the photo is no good. In fact there are no good pictures of Leo and Toni Garrn to argue Leo's height to the cm, but have a look at the ones I posted on the 24th of June - in stature, Garrn appears noticably taller.
rockitbaby said on 21/Aug/14
In this picture she doesn't seem to be very taller than Leo. He's probably something between 1,81 and 1,83.

James B said on 21/Aug/14
181cm is spot on. He's not small at the very upper end of average.
ikura said on 15/Aug/14
Toni Garrn is practically the same height as Karlie Kloss and Frida Gustavsson, who both seem to be 6'2. These three always tower over the majority of models. I bet shes at least 185.
Emil 182.5 cm said on 11/Aug/14
Aaaarghhh I doubt Toni Garrn is 6'1 barefoot. Might be 5'11 but with same floor level she aint taller than Leo
Clement said on 6/Aug/14
Toni Garrn is a tall girl. She is 6’1” tall. This is according to her page on theFashionSpot where it was mentioned her height as 6'1" by people who have worked with her directly.
Ron said on 5/Aug/14
She broke up with him for not being tall enough...that is ridiculous. The dude is like 6 feet!?
Loeparen said on 5/Aug/14
It's hard to determine the height of someone when you don't know the exact heights of the people you compare the person with. My guess, however, is that Leo is 180 cm tall (midday).
Goose said on 4/Aug/14
DMeyer, could you look at the Letterman appearance - especially part where he is standing next to Dave's desk. Lot of first hand accounts that Dave is 6'1 +. Curious as to your POV. Also, DeCaprio doesn't seem like a lift wearer but I could be wrong. Thnks..
Dmeyer said on 2/Aug/14
Rob do you agree he can look 181cm alot i think a true 181cm that dont dip under 180.9-181.1 cm at very low 5'11.25 can defenetly claim 5'11.5 or get listed that , once you are 180.6-180.7 cm then 5'11-11.25 is closer , at oftenly 181.3-181.7cm it possible i am a few MM taller than him
Editor Rob
181 is quite arguable for him
Dmeyer said on 2/Aug/14
Considering he is 5'11.25-11.5 plus he is thin and thick footwear its normal people see him 6'0-6'1
Goose said on 24/Jul/14
My accountant used to live in LA and she said she met DiCaprio at a wedding for an agent. She said unprompted - "he's taller than I thought." She's about 5'71/2 & I'm a weak 5'10. I asked if he was at least 6'. She said 'definitely' . Second person (though second-hand whose told me he was at least six and 'tall.' Also, saw him on early letterman (his only appearance - and when he gets to Dave's desk he's standing right next to him and has close to an inch on him . Hard guy to figure out...
rockitbaby said on 22/Jul/14
He's around 6'0. Below that never! He dated Gisele Bundchen and she's 1,79m. In this picture he's at least 5cm taller than her Click Here
Emil 182.5 cm said on 12/Jul/14
He's a bit of a sloucher, I think thats why he trends to look 5'10.5-5'11.
I find him no less than 5'11.25
cole said on 12/Jul/14
Well Blanchett has claimed "about 5'8 - I think", meaning she's more likely to be under it than over. I'm just wondering here, but is it to justify guys like Leo having a 5'11.5 listing that you give Blanchett 0.5in over her own claim? I mean, even in solid heels she can look a tad shorter than 5'10 listed Matt Damon in dress shoes/boots, so that should tell you something.
Dmeyer said on 5/Jul/14
Blanchet is 5'11-11.25 shoes on leo looks aleast 6'0.25 flat shoes on 5' 11.5 is fair
Jackie said on 29/Jun/14
In really any of the scenarios outside of live events or the red carpets he looks 5'11 or slightly under. I think Leo is one of the people that we should take into consideration only in real life scenarios and not on events.
Doug said on 29/Jun/14
Rob, if you look at any pics of Leo and Toni Garrn outside he always looks 3-4 cms shorter. This is even to his advantage as this is taking into consideration slippers and flip flops on both of them. So, if he truly is 182, then why is there a noticeable difference between the two if she is 183. Thoughts on this too Rob?
Two Pump Jump said on 28/Jun/14
he looks 5'11"
Doug said on 26/Jun/14
Also, Rob what do you think of the pics of Leo and Toni Garrn at the beach. She is a definite 6'. But, he looks about 3-4 cms shorter. So, what do you think? I think his sneaky ift wearing can make him appear taller than the 179 that he is. Thoughts?
Editor Rob
they make him look barely 5ft 11 but I don't know about how they'd look if posing on known flat ground
Doug said on 25/Jun/14
If Chiwetel Ejiofor isnt a lift wearer which I dont think he is, then Leo is 179. But, I do think Leo is a lift wearer and really good at concealing it. In the above pic his shoes have no open arc. Why do you think that is? its because he has lifts in them.

There are loads of pictures of Leo on some of his vk.com fansites (one contained over 7500 pics). Here's a couple more I found with Garrn on that. Just in pure stature it's fair to assume he's a bit shorter. His legs also looks quite a bit shorter than hers.

Throwing in some more I found where I just can't see him over 5'11:

With 5'7 listed Christoph Waltz

Click Here

With 5'6 listed Bono (who's most likely in massive elevators)
Click Here

With 5'3 listed Martin Scorsese
Click Here

With 5'6.25 listed Jonah Hill

No good comparison-wise, but looking pretty much eye to eye with (imo) 5'9.5 - 5'9.75 (5'10 listed) Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Doug said on 23/Jun/14
Yeah Cole I completely agree and he always stands closer to the camera when with Toni Garrn. Yet, even then his scalp line reaches below hers. Also, he looks closer when they are shoulder to shoulder. If he were 183, then there would be no difference. But, there really is a difference of 3-4 cms with his 6' or 182-183 gf. Maybe Toni Garrn is below 6' but I doubt it. Maybe she is above it. But, all in all, I see him as a 179 guy. He even looksed 4 cms shorter than a slouching Jon Bernthal, who was in 4 cms heels. Albeit Leo might have been slouching a bit too but not as much as Jon Bernthal. Also Leo was in .5cm slippers. So, I really think he cant be over 179.
cole said on 23/Jun/14
Standing closer to the camera has that effect of making you look taller.
Plus Bloom isn't 5'11.
Doug said on 20/Jun/14
Seahawkfan you do have to remember that Leonardo is quite possible a lift wearer. I mean look at pictures of him with actualy 183 people or 6' people like his gf. He always looks a good 3-4 cms shorter. So, I still stand by my estimate of 179.
anonymous said on 11/Jun/14
Dmeyer, i don't think he's taller than you!
You met Hanks and you said he was 0,5" taller than you?
Aswell, in catch me if you can Leo is 0,5" shorter than Tommy Hanks, at least...
french guy said on 10/Jun/14
he is a solid 5'11", 181 and 182 cm is too much.

i agree cole from wath i met him , its not enaugh to judge
Goose said on 1/Jun/14
I met a few people who have been in proximity & they all thought 6' but you guys are right that 'proximity' in not necessarily an accurate indicator.
Anon said on 1/Jun/14
He's an inch to an inch-and-a-half shorter than bald, 6'0.5"(?) Billy Zane. This based on red carpet shots of them together in similar formal shoes. I judge by difference in eye levels as well as the top of their heads to get an estimate. No less than 5'11"
Dejavu said on 30/May/14
I think 180cm min. He can look taller than 5'11.
Dmeyer said on 29/May/14
Goose the other dmeyer is not me i steel think min 181cm for him
cole said on 28/May/14
Dmeyer says he's seen Leo twice, once walking by him and once from a distance. It's very hard to tell his height to the tiniest fraction by being in his proximity for a couple of seconds like that. To do that you need to see him standing with people you know the exact height of, or stand right next to him for a bit yourself. And you need to know how much of a factor the footwear/headwear has on his and your appearance. Getting a good photo next to him on even ground, preferably full body makes it easier. If that's the case, then you could start arguing his height quite accurately down to the fraction. Dmeyer thinks he's a 181-182 cm guy, but rules out 180 cm flat. Personally I think that's a bold statement given the circumstances of which he saw him, and even a little laughable that he keeps dismissing this and that height purely based on the brief moments he saw him.

Mr.R's sighting of 5'10.5 might be one where Leo wasn't standing his tallest(?), but personally I think that 5'10.5 could be within the realms of possibility, but probably my lowest guess for what he's appeared. 5'11.25 is not impossible, but seems a bit unlikely from seeing him with estimated 171 cm range guys such as Oscar Isaac and Mark Ruffalo, a 168 cm guy like Jonah Hill and a 170 cm guy like Christoph Waltz. Add what he looks with 175 cm guys like Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to that, and the very fact that he at best looks the same height as 180 cm Jean Dujardin and Jon Bernthal - somewhere in/near 180 cm range is the most likely height for him. Next to the 186 cm Dom guy as well (a pic Rob posted in a response to Dmeyer), he really looks just 180 cm, maybe a shade over. 5'11 flat is overall the best bet imo.

Boy that was long...
Dmeyer said on 28/May/14
If the Guy is truly 171.5cm leo looks no taller than 179.5cm
Goose said on 27/May/14
DMeyer, previously you thought he could be 5'11 1/2 & I thought you'd been in his proximity. Why the downgrade?

How this is 5'7.5 vs 5'11.5 I will never know...
5'10 said on 19/May/14
He looks like a definite lift wearer I would put his height as still bein 5'10.5. I mean look at him with his current girlfriend. She seems to tower him at times and is never ever listed as being taller than 6'. Most of the time she is listed as 181 or 180. So, that would put him as being 178 or 179.
Dmeyer said on 19/May/14
For some reason j Hill apeared nearer 170cm , i was barefeet hé had 1.5cm shoes skate type he seemed 5'7.5 with thèm on but he does look not more than this near pitt évén counting shoes and pitt is defenetly no taller than 5'11
jtm said on 15/May/14
looks 5'10 with jonah hill.
cole said on 14/May/14
I've never seen him look more than 5'11 flat with Jonah Hill to be honest. There's a whole bunch of full body shots of them, and it's pretty clear that Jonah has to be at least scraping 170 cm / clearing it, if Leo is 5'11.5 (both very doubtful imo).

I will agree though that the 5'11.5 estimate is obviously something he's appeared a few times to get that listing by Rob, who is almost always extremely accurate with his estimates - but it's not something he looks anywhere near consistantly enough for me to agree with.

He has looked around 5'11 with a huge amount of celebs, not to mention with his various model girlfriends. With Jean Dujardin, Matt Damon, Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Mark Ruffalo, Oscar Isaac and Tom Hanks to name a few (evidence is all over the place), he looks 5'11.

Mr. R estimates him at 179 cm (Rob would likely be shocked if that turned out to be true!), I wouldn't be very surprised, but I still maintain my 5'11 flat estimate, because that is what he appears more often than not.
Andrea said on 14/May/14
Yeah, Lillo, i do agree with you... Just ignore that seahawsfan guy ;)
Lillo thomas said on 14/May/14
Guys should not take seahawsfan seriously . The dude posted some crazy things like 6'2 is a giant in the United States and his insane arnold estimates, his bad pics with terrible angles etc. And yep leo dicrapio look 5'11 max with Jonah hill. 6'1.5 is a joke.
cole said on 14/May/14
Some agencies lie, yeah, but that's usually not on the downgrading end! Doubt any model-agency would ever list someone 5'11 if they were 6'0.
Balrog said on 13/May/14
Seahawsfan, I don't know if that is a joke, but there is no way he's pulling 6'1.5'' on that pic. Solid 5'11''.
cole said on 13/May/14
@Seahawksfan: Are you actually being serious right now?? Jonah Hill is a 5'6 range guy at best, and being generous you could say there is 5 inches between them.
johnny said on 12/May/14
I just cant see over 5'10.5 I mean there is a lot of evidence suggesting that he isnt anything over it
johnny said on 12/May/14
I do get the feeling that he is a lift wearer, and I mean when he is not on the red carpet there is really a difference and change in height.
Its surprising how tall some of the women he dates are. Some seem to tower him like the current one.
Editor Rob
I heard a rumour he was caught buying lifts from a guy outside Bronx Zoo once!
Dmeyer said on 12/May/14
I steel think 5'11.25 minimum i dont Know who is the other dmeyer , hé should use another nickname Like dmeyer2 or something
cole said on 11/May/14
@Dmeyer: What happened to "5'11.25 minimum"?
Obivously I agree with johnny - at best he looks 180 cm with Ridley Scott.
cole said on 28/Apr/14
@Dmeyer: The top of his head is bang on the 6ft mark, and maybe with a wee correction in posture, he could hit 6'0.25 - 6'0.5. That's the fact of the mugshot, but it is from a movie, and a scene where we have no view of his footwear, so it's rather pointless arguing the fractions from the mugshot alone. He could be in 2 inch lifts or he could be in regular dress shoes - we just don't know. Assuming he's in regular dress shoes then yes, 5'11.25 or 5'11.5 is likely. But since it's hollywood I'd be sceptical to say anything for sure based just on the movie-mugshot.

I'd much rather argue over the scene where he in loafers looked noticably shorter than 5'11 John Bernthal who perhaps had a small advantage in footwear, or the premiere pics of Leo and 5'11 Jean Dujardin where Leo definitely didn't look taller. While in the movie Leo looked about 1 inch taller than Dujardin, so that supports the claim that he was indeed wearing lifts in some of the scenes, what's to say he didn't wear them in the mugshot-scene?
Dejavu said on 27/Apr/14
It's not like 5'11 is short though. He just dates tall women.
Dmeyer said on 27/Apr/14
cole says on 10/Jan/14
What's your take on the mugshot, Rob?

I'm think 5'11 flat at best barefoot.
[Editor Rob: it can depend, some people might stand near their measured height, but others could always be not standing as though being measured and drop 2cm]

he could have been one of the rare guys who got a bit more age 19 range
Banshee said on 26/Apr/14
All his past girlfriends, ALL of them, say clearly that "they want a man that would be taller than them". This guy is 180 cm flat. Even in "Wolf of Wall Street", when he was measures, he was barely 6'0 with suit shoes on, which usually are around at least 1-inch-heeled.
Joe said on 25/Apr/14
Look at him with his 6 foot sometimes 5-10 listed girlfriend, they are bare feet and in flip flops and she is always at least 2" taller than him... 5-10 for dicaprio
jtm said on 25/Apr/14
he looks like he is trying to look as tall as possible with blanchett and his footwear looks questionable. i still don't think he is 5'11 or 6'0.
Dejavu said on 24/Apr/14
I think he filled out and grew after 19.
cashionf said on 24/Apr/14
I know Leo personally and he's 6'0"
avery_t said on 22/Apr/14
I walked by him twice last night in TriBeCa. He looks 6ft in sneakers at 9PM. His sneakers probably give him an inch. So, I'd say 5' 11" at night.
cole said on 21/Apr/14
Really doubt he grew 1-1.5in after the age of 19.
MarkyMark said on 19/Apr/14
I think he's a legit 6'0. A least 181 cm. Cate Blanchett is 174 cm, the heels she's wearing in the pic give her at least 8 cm. So she's at least 182 cm, and Leo's shoes give him 3 cm at max and he looks 3 cm taller than Blanchett.
curious said on 15/Apr/14
Rob, don't you think that Leo has the proportions of a smaller guy? Like 5'10? I'm not saying he's that tall though. Oh, and how many inches do you think his head is?
Editor Rob
I've never thought of his proportions making him look small, but I think you can take somebody at 6ft or even 5ft 10 in single photos and get them mixed up!

His head doesn't look much more than 9 inches, it looks quite balanced (eyelevel to head equal to eyelevel to chin)
Jed said on 15/Apr/14
His girlfriend is listed at 5'10-5'11 (5'10 by her agency) yet looks taller than him a lot of the time.
Banshee said on 6/Apr/14
Exactly, 181 cm out of bed is bang on. No way is he 6'0.

@Seahawksfan: Exept he's standing several steps closer to the camera than Jay... Useless to argue anything.
176,2Tunman said on 5/Apr/14
Aged 19,he may very well have been 5'10.5" with 5'9 De Niro.
I would have thought 5'11.5" was fair for him but watching Blood Diamonds he could be a good 2-2.5" shorter than Honsou,like a good 6cm,possibly closer to 5'11 than 6',181 is perhaps bang on.
Banashee said on 5/Apr/14
He is 181 cm out of bed. No doubt about it, just read Cole's comment below.

@Editor Rob: By having Oscar Isaac at 5'7.5 and now listing Mark Ruffalo at that mark as well, to me it looks like you should be edging your way towards a flat 5'11 listing for Leo. He does not look 4 inches taller than those guys, no way. He could just about pull off looking near 182 cm if Ruffalo was 173 cm, but now that he's been put down to 171 cm, the listing Leo's currently holding makes little if no sense.
Editor Rob
181 isn't out of the question
PeteClone said on 25/Mar/14
All this talk of Leo really being 5'11" gives me that warm feeling inside when you find out you're taller than the current Hollywood heartthrob.
lulz said on 21/Mar/14
@Realist, Yea, Leo's got time for limb lengthening with all the movies and appearances he does every year throughout his career. You literally can't walk like a normal person for 6 months after starting such a surgery. You can see a million pictures of him in public not wearing these magical (invisible?) "special lifts" you say he has. He's also visibly lanky in Marvin's Room (the movie with Diane Keaton you mentioned)
Editor Rob
in 50 years there may be techniques or therapy that can somehow gain you height, or surgery which has much shorter recovery period. If Sly was around in the future, every few years I'd be upgrading his height up half an inch...
Joash said on 18/Mar/14
what! 5'11.5" if she's 5'8.5" he's definitely 6'0" from that photo - her heels are quite high. At best Leo should be 5'11.75" out of bed, this pic was probably taken at past midday. upgrade, Rob.

In movie wall street, he was measured in shoes as week 6f, but nowadays how many lifts a dress shoe can give you, as least 3cm for an ordinary one let alone celebrities wear customary shoes..

1.83, in movies say that. 1.82 is improbable
Banshee said on 6/Mar/14
Inded, in "Wolf of Wall Street" he was measured 6' ( a weak one to add ) with suit shoes on. Average suit shoes have 1' heel, so indeed, Leo, yet again, proved to be no more than 180 cm in person.
DMEYER said on 3/Mar/14
blanchet should be 5 ft 11 with those on 2.5-2.6 in type if she is 5 ft 8.25-8.5 , leo looks 6 ft shoes so 5 ft 11.25 seems right since they dont look too thick

@Zenit: Nice one! I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Carew in person, but I've met other Norwegian internationals whom I feel very sure about height-wise, and Carew doesn't look a single cm taller than 193 with any of them. I've met Morten Gamst Pedersen (former Blackburn-player) - he didn't seem any taller than me (180 cm), and he looks the same height as DiCaprio does with Carew in most pictures.

Fact: Carew is 6'4 at best, but got listed 6'5 when he started playing abroad. Fact: Pedersen is 5'11 at best, but got listed 6' when he started playing abroad.
This seems all too familiar, and not in a good way...

I think that any claim of DiCaprio standing taller than 5'11' is a joke. All the evidence suggests to the contrary.
To those people talking about 'out of bed'/'night time' height differences. As a medicine student I'll tell you something: the max height difference day/night is no more than 1.5 cm ( according to scientific data ). The average difference is 1 cm.
Thus, again, any claim for Leo at 6' is just a lie. 5'11.5 is being 'generous', while 5'11 is 'spot on'.
Tom Hanks looks taller, even now that he measures max. 5'11.5

Goose said on 15/Feb/14
Thanks DMeyer. You are usually pretty right on when I compare the celebs I've personally seen with your estimates. My only doubt is during interviews, etc next to Hanks which would put him lower unless Hanks himself warrants an upgrade. That being said, your account jibes with friend's accounts. Actually, the people I've known who have been in actual proximity to him usually put his height in the 6' - 6 1/2 range however they usually don't guess heights on a regular basis either.

A decent 5'11'' man never dips below 5'11'' (180.3cm) when I said DiCaprio is a solid 5'11'' I mean he never dips below 180.5, so I really can't see him at 5'10.5'' Mr R.
Sam said on 8/Feb/14
Someone said its doubtful Leonardo's even 6ft or close to it in the morning, in which case he'd probably be dipping below 5'11 at night which I honestly can't see as he always looked solid 5'11 range to me, so he could be 6ft or just a little over in the morning, so his heightt: 181cm

Right now, he has bad and sleazy posture, that's why it makes us visualize him to be shorter than we've thought.

so if 5 ft 11-11.5 is arguable then 5 ft 11.5-6ft is less likely

yeah I wouldn't argue more than 11.5, I mean it is worth posting this photo again: Leo and Dom.

Dom in the past has talked about this site on the radio and taken a dig at our riduclous Bruno Mars listing on twitter ;)

anyway he said on the radio he's a fraction over 6ft 1...so you can argue Leo is 180-1 with him I think.

My friend is a realtor in Beverly Hills and I asked him last week if he had ever seen DeCaprio. He said he had in Barney's BH and he judged him to be his height. My friend is roughly 6 1/2 inch without shoes. Take it for what it's worth as it's a second hand account.

The absolut lowest he could be is a strong 5-10. But 5-11.5 sounds accurate. He's older now and has gained more weight and probably looks shorter sometimes. but back when he was a young guy he always looked pretty tall. Like in The Beach.
dmeyer said on 1/Feb/14
Rob from wath Mr r saw and the fact that you say 5'11" flat is arguable , Leo is defenerly no taller than a 181.3cm dinner like me ???? Answer
Editor Rob
there is a fair chance he might be around 181, 179 I wouldn't want to argue that
Mr. R said on 1/Feb/14
@Balrog Nope. I stick to my original sighting of 5-10.5 when I saw him a few weeks ago.
Dural said on 31/Jan/14
He's shorter than Hanks, 183cm is impossible dmeyer. I can see him between 5'10.25" and 5'11.25", the mugshot is reality. I'm not convinced he's taller than Bundchen, maybe on the red carpet.

That mugshot picture is AMAZING. 6 foot in shoes.

Most likely 5'11 flat
Dmeyer said on 30/Jan/14
The somallest he could be is 5'11 1/8in like almost 181cm
Dmeyer said on 30/Jan/14
Rob i have. Hard Time seing leo at 5'10.5 , when in looks similar as hanks when in Équal posture , taller than 5'10.5 bundchen , i think 183cm is more possible than 179cm best is 181-182cm 180 and 183 are unlikely , but 179cm is impossible
Editor Rob
I'd be very surprised if he was 179. It's probably at the lowest end of the guess range for him, sure he can look it sometimes, but more often he looks more than that.

rob on the subject of Mugshots, leonardo has a twelve inch head based on the photo of wolf of wall street. His eye line is at 5'6 which puts his height at 5'10 to 5'11. I am not saying he is, just the photo would indicate that. His head in reality will be 9 and 1/2 inches not 12. You need to subtract an inch from the top and an inch from the bottom.
Editor Rob
remember your head is in front of the height chart so it will look amplified in size if you are using the lines behind.

His head is very average size.
Balrog said on 30/Jan/14
Mr R any chance on full 5'11". 179cm seems a bit too low.
Mr. R said on 29/Jan/14
Stood right next to him. 5-10.5
Jordan said on 29/Jan/14
How could a Guy who is 5'11.5 TOPS in a mug shot, in shoes ( he was all Dressed up), somehow be 6 feet in height? He is lucky to be 5'10.75"!
Arch Stanton said on 29/Jan/14
@Goose

Because it looks exactly what he's measure if stood next to one. If his head was near the 6'4" mark then you'd know it was fudged.
Balrog said on 28/Jan/14
Solid 5'11" guy. 180cm. He deserves the Oscar.
Goose said on 27/Jan/14
Why would you assume the movie's mugshot is accurate? I've seen all kinds of Mugshots in movies where they make the actor look taller by fudging the measurement scale. The only mugshot height I would trust would be a real one.
Realist said on 27/Jan/14
DiCaprio-178
Damon-174-175
Wahlberg-170
Sam said on 27/Jan/14
Mel's head is so much closer to the camera that it's hard to tell the comparison. Gibson can look 5'10" easily with posture and shoes, so DiCaprio should be a solid inch taller looking.
NJP said on 27/Jan/14
Stood on the red carpet with him at Leicester Square for Revolutionary Road and shook hands with him in the foyer and had the opportunity to exchange a few words. I'm 179cm in the evening or a little over 5'10". I never felt that he was any taller than me, both of us in dress shoes. I guess that if he stood to attention he'd be around the 5'11" mark but only just.

Unless there's a major footwear advantage, he looks a little taller than 6 feet by 6'2" Morgan Freeman:

Click Here

The photograph was taken at a low angle, taken at around upper chest height, giving the impression that the difference in height is less than it is. While it appears that Leo's eyes are level with Morgan's nose, the reality is that his eye level is probably closer to Morgans top lip.
dmeyer said on 26/Jan/14
i think 5 ft 11.5 is closer than 5 ft 11
Dural said on 26/Jan/14
@Mr. R

Here's one with a better angle

Mr. R said on 24/Jan/14
Ok, not the best angle, but clearly Mel and Leo are closer in height. Leo seems to be looking Mel almost in the eye.

Arch Stanton said on 22/Jan/14
I saw his footwear in the film Cole and it looked normal. If you think he'd be wearing lifts just for that... He looks 6'0.25-5" in shoes to me, barefoot I'd say 5'11.25-5, this is about right.
Sam said on 21/Jan/14
Ah, Day-Lewis is at least 6'1" with good posture.
Sam said on 20/Jan/14
In The Wolf of Wall Street, he could look from 5'11" to six foot. Close to Kyle Chandler's height but he did not seem taller than Jon Bernthal for sure.
Adrian said on 19/Jan/14
The reason why Leo looked tall in Wolf of Wall St is because he was acting along side a short Jonah Hill. Same thing happened in 21 Jump Street with Channing Tatum; where he looked massive next to Jonah Hill.

Lets go back to Gangs of New York; where Leo starred opposite a genuine 6 footer; Daniel Day-Lewis. And now compare the height!

Leo is no 6 footer.

No more than 179cm in the morning for Mr Dicaprio.
cole said on 19/Jan/14
Well for one he's not standing right up against the height-markers and the 6ft 1 mark is well over the top of his hair, so he does not look 185. The top of his head wouldn't go up to the very top of his hair, it would obivously be higher than the 5'11 mark, maybe near the 6ft mark and perhaps a tiny shade over if he stood his tallest. BUT we don't know what kind of footwear he's wearing, so it basically means very little.

There could be so many things affecting what we see. He could be closer to the camera than what the markers are (as well as not standing right next to them), he could be wearing big shoes, we don't know. They shoot each scene with a purpose, how tall Leo's character seems in a mugshot we see for mere seconds, in a movie, and when there are so many things we don't know or can't see, it's frankly a rather pointless argument.
jtm said on 19/Jan/14
5'11 in shoes
Jordan said on 19/Jan/14
He only hits 6 foot in the mug shot because of Hair and shoes. Take that away he is a lucky man to be even 5'11. Look at the pic posted by Aiden. IDK how someone can look at a man that is not over 6 foot with his hair and shoes on and still claims he is a solid 6 foot.
6-4 said on 18/Jan/14
Take a good look, he is 185 in The WOLF's mugshot with shoes. No way he is under 5ft11 (you shorties :)) Why is so hard to except, that he is 5.11.5??
Dmeyer said on 18/Jan/14
Nothing under 6'0.25-0.5in shoes on , i was 5'11.8-11.9in with à 1cm trainer hé was à haïr taller in normal sneakers 2.5cm type , defenetly 6'0+ shoes on , Will hit 6'1 in big footwear 1.4-1.5in
cole said on 18/Jan/14
@Arch Stanton: You have absolutely no idea what kind of footwear he was wearing in the mugshot. It's all speculation, no need to get angry.

This is your opinion, one that you have every right to have, but I've got to say: if you honestly believe the top of his head is anywhere near the top of his hair, you may be the one who needs glasses. It's a little higher than the line drawn in the first post, sure, but it's obviously nowhere near 6'0.5 - 6'1 range, no chance.

Maybe he just about scrapes the 6ft mark, maybe he would reach a tiny fraction above 6ft if stood as tall as possible. But again, it's speculation because we have no way of knowing what kind of footwear he's wearing in that shot.

I maintain my 5'11 estimate (will never agree with 5'11.5 +) - 5'11.25 is not outragously impossible (although I wouldn't argue 5'11.25 as his low), maybe he could be around that height early in the day, but more than likely he dips a little under 180 cm in the evening, near enough 5'11 flat to claim 5'10.75 - 5'11 as his low.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jan/14
Am I the only one who thinks he looks 184 in shoes in the mugshot and that without he's likely 5'11.25-5 as listed here? Jeez.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jan/14
LOL you're undercutting his height with the line!!! His skull mark is actually near the top of his hair because he has a side partin and the hair is gelled against his scalp.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jan/14
Fellas you're wrong, watch the film and you'll see that this talk of him only being 5'11.5 in shoes is nonsense.
Arch Stanton said on 18/Jan/14
@Power you're wrong dude, you need glasses!! Towards the end of Wolf of Wall Street he is stood by the height chart for his mug shot and he's BANG ON between 6'0 and 6'1" in shoes. 5'11.5" is absolutely spot on.
cole said on 17/Jan/14
@Highland: Marsden rarely looks 5'10. He was noticably shorter than the 5'10 Jesse Tyler Ferguson on 'Modern Family' and looked barely taller than Mark Wahlberg in '2 Guns', he was also around the same height as Katherine Heigl in '27 Dresses'. He's a 5'9 flat guy in my opinion, 5'9.25 at most. It's only for a very brief moment DiCaprio is next to him, so it's not much to go by. I'd imagine Leo would look roughly the same with Marsden as 5'11 Josh Radnor did - 1.5-2in zone taller.
Highland said on 17/Jan/14
Check the video below, we can see him standing in the same angel with james marsden who is a solid 5ft10 (178). And Leo clearly has a little bit more height (So we can rule out anything below 179).

I think the author is pretty much spot on

Leo was 5'11.5 in mug shot in wolf of wallstreet IN HIS SHOES,!!!!!!he is 5'10.5 to 5'11 barefoot, not 6'0.
dmeyer said on 16/Jan/14
Realy looks barely as tall as 5'11 dujardin who claims 5'11.25
Guest1985 said on 16/Jan/14
I met him in 2006 and he looked about 6'1 to 6'2 in flip flops. He has a gigantic head so that may have skewed his height a little. Met Brad Pitt as well and he seemed a like 5'10-5'11 (normal sized head).

I think Leo height is 179cm because Jean dujardin height is 181cm
Aiden said on 15/Jan/14
@Diogo, How does it prove he's 6 feet tall? The mugshot scene (Click Here) shows him at 5'11 (most likely in shoes). If he's not standing too straight, he might still measure 5'11 barefoot but that's about the absolute most I can imagine.
As for the pictures from the 2014 Golden Globes with 6ft 0.5in listed Bradley Cooper, he looks somewhere between 5'10 and maybe 5'11.

Rob, what's your take on Leo? Perhaps he's not quite 182cm but 179/180 cm?
Editor Rob
Leo I think can be anywhere 5ft 11-11.5, above that I'd rule out. Below it? I think I'd be surprised if he dipped under 5ft 11.
Diogo said on 15/Jan/14
Wolf of Wall Street proves that he's 6ft tall or at least very close to it.
SkiP said on 14/Jan/14
In the wolf of wallstreet trailer you see leo and jon bernthal almost right next to each other ... and jon bernthal is 178cm
when you look at the picture you will see that leo is quite the same height as jon
i dont know how u all see that but for me leo is something slightly under 180cm

just type in gogle jon bernthal and leo and you will see it or watch the trailer of wolf of wallstreet
Mr. R said on 13/Jan/14
Leo seems taller in our eyes because he is so thin. He and Jonah Hill walked right past me on solid ground last month at WoWS screening. Leo was exactly one inch shorter than me. 5-10.5
anonymous said on 13/Jan/14
He REALLY looks around 5,9 next to bradely cooper even if we assume they are both wearing lifts Click Here
