He was never 180. Hes fit sure but even that height with how lean he was at peak he'd be bigger. Even if slightly. I'm that exacwheight so its easy to compare
Mat said on 18/May/16
@Editor Rob: in some photos it can look near enough it.

So, is there a chance of a 5'10 or 5'10.5 range for Mcconaughey?
Editor Rob
yes of 5ft 10.5, I'm not so sure he'd be just 5ft 10 though.
Mat said on 16/May/16

Sure, because it's quite normal in this world that people wake up and measure themselves... :)
His claim, 5'11.75, probably comes from a shoe measurement! The question is how thick "the shoes" are? The full 5'11 is a bit optimistic, 5'10.75 would probably be fairer, if you consider the "classic 1 inch shoes" :)
But you can argue he doesn't look much over 5'10 at times, that' sure!

I agree with this 100%. Most people give a shoes on height and the vast majority won't bat an eye at the claim.

His bathrobe height is most likely his out of bed height
Editor Rob
instead of a warning label he has an 'Out of Bed' label...

I think he is somewhere in 5'10.25-0.5" range, same with Jake. And 5'9" Leto here is having cowboy boots or something.
LM said on 16/Mar/16
I met and spoke to him face to face at the SXSW festival in Texas a couple of years ago. I am 6'2 and I was looking down on him, I would say at best he's 5'10. I have mates who are 5'11 who are taller than him.

"If he's really over 180 pounds, then there's no way that he's under 5'11". He looks so skinny on average to where it makes him appear to as if he's lanky. "

You've obviously not looked at him pre Dallas Buyer's. He looked easily 180 pounds. Since he dropped the weight for Dallas though he seems to have failed to regain his former build and still has that gaunt look last time I saw him. Last I saw of him he looked in 165-170 range. I really don't think he would have 5'11.75 on his robe if he wasn't actually measured at exactly that. But it has to be in dress shoes or his out of bed measurement.

that's a good point. I think he said in the infamous letterman interview (where David Letterman said MM was 5'10) that his weight was 182. If he really were a flat 5'10, I would say he has the build of a 170 lb guy. He could be 5'11 if he really weights 182 lb.

5'10.5". Nolan edges him out by a bit.
Mat said on 1/Feb/16
@Wow

Well, he has already lied about how he recovered from his hairloss with that Regenix crap, why wouldn't he lie about his height? If he really were 5'11 3/4, he would have said 6'. But he is quite shorter than that for sure. 5'10.5-11 is his range and he wears lifts
Wow said on 28/Jan/16
Can't believe the bathrobe thing but I guess it has to be right. Surprised that isn't given as his height on the site. McConaughey would surely say he was 6ft if he had any inclination to stretch the truth.
Aaron zamora said on 28/Jan/16
Rob, what if 5'11.75 was a shoe measurement? I feel like McConaughey is a 5'10.5-5'10.75 guy. Most likely a 5'10.75 guy that's if Jimmy Kimmel is actually 5'11.25 as listed.
Editor Rob
a lot of the time I have thought he could fall a fraction under 5ft 11, then other times I think the guy could hold the 5ft 11 mark.
Dmeyer said on 21/Jan/16

Rob, isn't that at least a 0.5 inch difference in all of the pics? Either Nolan is 5'11.5 or Matthew is a weak 5'11. Right? In the last photo it looks like 1.5 in difference, although he doesn't have the best posture...
Editor Rob
depends on posture, that can be harder to tell with small differences

5'11" might be a stretch, imo. Didn't he look shorter than 5'10.7" measured Clinton Portis on video? And I don't remember him looking that much taller than 5'9" Lance Armstrong.


yes.....i remember seeing that video almost 10 years ago but can't find it now. Clinton Portis was measured at 5'10-7/8" at the combine. that is a very early morning height as i know they measure and weigh these guys early in the morning. Clinton Portis would probalby be listed at 5'10-1/2 on this site as I would imagine he would be closer to that in the evening.

I've always thought that MM's 5'11-3/4" claim is a shoes on height, putting him somewhere around 5'10-1/2 barefoot. easy enough to pass for 5'10 or 5'11.

179 cm before bed
Allie said on 18/Dec/15
I guess if it was a half inch then you could say it, but it is easier to round or say almost 6ft or something.
Anyways I bet more on 178-179 then 180-181.

One thing that's always bugged me is how his wife a model gets listed as 5'9, yet if you google her pics with Adriana Lima whose somewhere in the 5'10 range, there's no way she's just an inch shorter. She also never looks 5'9 range with Matthew in similar footwear.
Chris said on 13/Dec/15
He said on letter he was "five eleven, three quarters, i've never been 6ft" which letterman dismissed and said "no way, 5'10!." Usually, if a guy was 182cm, they'd just say 6ft, not be that specific, 180cm is the highest i'd go for him, not to mention jimmy fallon was taller than him.
HB183 said on 29/Nov/15
Great actor, looks a decent 5'10".
Darren510 said on 21/Oct/15
The 5'11.75 comment was odd. Most guys would just say 6'0. He is hard to pin down. He can look near 6'0 at times. I say minimum 5'10.5 and 5'11.25 tops
amaterasu said on 19/Oct/15
Another 5'10" range guy, but listed as 5'11" here. His 5'11" and three quarters claim dosent even makes sense, as someone who is genuinely 5'11.75" will never claim himself as ,,5'11" and something" , but just will say 6ft. Maybe he meant hes 5'10.75" ? Which still can be just his morning height, because next to someone who is 180-1 guy like Nolan, MM looks 1in shorter.
Andrea said on 14/Oct/15
Rob, how much difference you see here? Click Here
The other guy is an italian actor i've already shown you... With James Marsden and Javier Bardem you said he could pull off 6'1 but I also told you he said 183 and 184 in the past! He recently came out with 183 again on Twitter so I doubt he's any taller than that! You can argue he's a bit over 183 but no more!
Editor Rob
in the photo there can look 2 inches. I don't know if the Italian chap's head is slightly nearer though.
Bugsy said on 22/Sep/15
I saw him on TV standing next to Jimmy Fallon (who is claimed as "a solid 6' guy" here). On the show, McConaughey actually looked a slight bit taller than Fallon. Something doesn't add up. In my opinion that is the fact that Jimmy Fallon is absolutely not 6 feet tall, around 5'11" would seem about right for him as well.
pauly e said on 14/Sep/15
I've always thought the same thing Mike: that the 5'11.75" claim is a shoes on height.
Mike said on 11/Sep/15
He claimed 5'11.75 in a Letterman interview, which letterman immediately dismissed, guessing "5'10" as mcconaughey's actual height. My guess would be 5'11.75 is his morning height with shoes on. Around 5'10.5 seems realistic.
juan said on 11/Aug/15
he is the same height as jared leto so he is 5 9.5 at best
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Aug/15
Rob, you should add The Wedding Planner, Dazed & Confused, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Amistad, True Detective (TV series), Magic Mike, Killer Joe and The Lincoln Lawyer to that line. Far better known than some of the ones up there
Sam said on 21/Jul/15
Always had him down as 179cm. Solid-average/slighty above, but nothing more. I assume Letterman was probably just guessing McConaughey the lowest possible end of his range, which is not impossible to do if you're right in the middle of said heights, but I think he could measure a fraction or so above 5ft10. Nothing over 5ft11, which is a bit of a generous listing for him.
hijopotamus said on 3/Jul/15
Zyzz, did you watch the Letterman interview? I guess not.

My gf met him in the gym and she's five eight. She told me that he's around five seven if he's lucky. Since he was a few inches shorter than her, he's a little guy.

sometimes he looks taller than Lance Armstrong, sometimes they look the same height, Lance is 5'8.5 max so Matthew must be around 5'9/5'9.5

MD said on 19/Aug/12
Kind of off topic, but I've seen interviews with the guy in the last few months, and he's looking VERY thin. I mean, it's not like he was ever a bodybuilder or anything, but he's looking small, these days. BTW, there is no way he's 5'11", either.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Aug/12
Honest 5ft11er. Same range as Hugh Grant, Alec Baldwin and Brad Pitt
kevin said on 15/Aug/12
at the absolute minimum this guy is 177cm. more likely 179-180cm. often he wears flip flops and doesnt look short at all.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 2/Aug/12
Rob, you had him at a weak 5'11? Why you changed him? Don't you think that 5'10-5'10.5 is closer for him? I saw some pics of him with Matthew Fox, who doesnt look a full 6'2, and he was at least 3 inches shorter...
Editor Rob
5ft 10.5 to 11 range is likely, maybe I put him at the top end as at times I think he looks near enough it.
Mateo said on 24/Jul/12
He is almost exactly 5'11''. I have known him for about 20 years, and we stand eye to eye. I am 5'10.75"
Penguinboy25 said on 13/Jun/12
Not convinced he's 5'11. Barefoot I am 182 cm and there is no way this guy is in the 180's. Maybe in running shoes or dress shoes, but I'd say he is 177 - 178 cm. Don't know what the big deal is. At 177 or 178 cm he would be considered the same height as the average man.
pauly e said on 12/Jun/12
He looks 5'10 onscreen to me as well, but I read somewhere that he weighs 186 lbs. He is very low in bodyfat, so if he really is 186 lbs then he is definitely taller than 5'10.
Mr. R said on 7/Jun/12
He is closer to 5-10.

Bill Paxton is listed as 5-11 and in U-571 him and Matthew are standing next to each other, both in Navy dress uniforms and Paxton is a 2 or 3 inches taller.
Anon said on 21/Jan/12
I was next to him in a Fox & Hound Bar in Austin for about 5 hours in 2005 for the UT football game against Ohio state. I am 5' 11". I would put him about an inch shorter than me. He's certainly not less than 5'9" or more than 5' 10.5".

Rob, you should downgrade him, looks 177-178 cm max. next to Ryan Philippe.

I met Mathew while I was getting take out and he was making a movie in the restaurant beside the take out joint. I'm 5'3 and I had running shoes on. He stands as tall as my brother when I was talking to him. About 5'8. Seriously he is not a tall man.
michael said on 26/Dec/11
I was in a bar near him when he was in my town filming We are Marshall. I'm 5'9and3/4 he had on chunky boots and remember telling my friends he was the same height and build as me. I was no more than 10 feet away from him.
Silent d said on 15/Nov/11
He is a hard person to judge. In ed tv he looks 180cm. In sahara 178cm. He always wear big heavy boots in some movies. I heard that he is a 6 footer but i strongly doubt it. In the wedding planner he looks short compared to 165cm jennifer lopez. I can live with 180cm but he looked short in tropic thunder.

Yeah Powers Booth had a solid 3 inches on McConaughey in Frailty. Rob I think the original 179 cm listing for McConaughey was more accurate.

George Lopez is VERY substantiated at 5'10, as he looked it with Peter Facinelli, Tom Felton and Mike Tyson.

I'm a girl, and I'm exactly 5'9" in flats. I jog at Town Lake in Austin and have seen and spoken to McConaughey on the trail several times. In running shoes, he's exactly my height. The last time I saw him, my running partner commented that he was considerably smaller than he appears on screen. I guess that's common, being fooled by the camera. He's definitely not a big guy.
TruebloodFan said on 29/Aug/11

McConaughey was listed 184cm during Sahara filmed , but look right 179-180cm.
Grey Ghost said on 19/Aug/11
He was just a barely discernible smidge taller than 5'10'' Woody Harrelson in ED TV. So this listed height is about on target. 5'10.5''.
Chuck said on 18/Aug/11
McConaughey works out in our Austin gym when he's in town. Barefoot he's 5'9" max if you don't count his fluffed up hair. Numerous reports below confirm the 5'9" height. I don't see how all these accounts can be ignored and still have him listed at 5'10.75" unless that's intended to be his height in shoes with heels, which would be almost correct.
James said on 17/Aug/11

I wonder how much he weighs? He looks about 170 pounds usually.

I would guess about 170 as well, although they said 186 in Men's Fitness a few months ago. He's built, but not muscled up enough to be 186 at 5'10 considering his bodyfat, which I would guess to be somewhere around 6-8%.

Lieing about your height makes you the worst kind of lier, because you are lieing to yourself, and also assuming that everyone around you is so stupid that they don't know what a 6' 0" person looks like! If you are under 6 feet I am sorry if it bothers you, but adding 2 or 3 inches to your height when people ask only makes you into a boat ful of jokes when you are not around. What differrence does it make anyway, some of the hottest women in the world are with average, or shortish guys. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Stallone, Phillipe, Rob Lowe, Vin Diesel, Justin Bieber etc.

I hardly would call him short as he's nearly 5ft11. C'mon he's above average.

But I am surprised you though he was tall, because to me he looks stumpy, because of his stumpy legs.

Matthew McConaughey looks like he's seriously short in reign of fire. Being bulked up seems to give away his short body legs and arms. He moves and runs like a small guy. I believe the comments below stating he's no more than 5'9" are correct. Good movie. But he looked so short that I was prompted to find this website trying to see how tall he really is.

This is definitely wrong hes no where near 5'11. I seen him and his wife once in Texas. Im 5'11 1/2 with shoes and when i walked by i had to look down on him. My best estimate is 5'8, maybe 5'9 with shoes on.

If he is 5' 9''. What is the height of his wife Camila Alves?
meister said on 8/Dec/10
LOL - I saw him at a Dodgers/Astros game 2 years ago. He was sitting a few rows behind home plate and I was across the aisle from him. They put a camera on him to show that a celebrity was in attendance. I saw him arrive and leave and he's around 5'8 or 5'9 tops. Claiming that he is 5'10 or 5'11 is ridiculous. Believe me.

this guy wears lifts. saw him in some magazine the other day. in one photo he's on a red carpet event with that girl/wife of his. she's in heels, he's in lifts, and only 3cm taller. the other photo of them in the street, she's in flats, he's (again) in some suspicious Cruise-like sneakers, and 7 or 8 cm taller than her. 5ft10 is probably the truth, but he can pull of the 5ft10.75. and yes, he looked visibly shorter(4-5cm) than 6ft Bale in Reign of Fire fist fight scene, if I remember correctly, so one more indication of 5ft10.

He looks 5'11.5 in my opinion.

i thought he was almost 6ft. cus i just watched Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past (i know, lame... but my gf made it pretty nice lol ;) and he was like 3 inches taller than Michael Douglas at least. and he was noticeable taller than Jennifer Garner and stuff.
kevans said on 18/Jun/09
5'11 sounds right... on a bad day, b/c of his obvious "slouch" he could be 5'10 1/2

someone said earlier that 5'11 can easily pass for 6' and that is VERY true, especially if you're lean, muscular...
Midget said on 18/Jun/09
I agree with Brad on this, looks close to 5'11" in his movies and the pics of him that I have seen. His build and poor posture can be deceptive but he isn't under 5'10" that's for sure.
Anonymous said on 14/Jun/09
I would bet he is right around the height listed give or take half an inch. a weak 5'11 guy can easily pass for being 6'. especially a lean guy like Matthew McC.
Brad said on 10/Jun/09
5' 11". Dude abides bro.
kevans said on 10/Jun/09
idk i think you guys got this one, 5'10 and a half seems about right...
Matt isn't "short" obviously but he isn't "tall" which is generally considered to be 6' or taller...
For instance and having met/seen him before and i stand a solid 5'11 and a half... i measured, and 6' with boots on, and he's about BARELY(which would be an inch) shorter than me

someone said it right earlier, depending on bone structure, build, yada yada you can actually LOOK taller b/c your body is proportioned that way, Matt is like that but his arms are too short for a guy that would be "6 feet"

*bottom line: he's most likely 5'10.5, 5'11 too a little over on a good night's rest
kevin said on 1/Jun/09
i always thought he was taller than 179cm but i just watched sahara and he looks even shorter than that. i dont know why he just looked short in that movie.
leonari said on 14/May/09
I agree...Could be a real 5'11". But he has the shortest arms I have ever seen on a such a well built guy. I even read he is aware of it.
TELLEM said on 14/May/09
i think he's a lift wearer. i'd put him at 5'10.5 the same as rob has him listed at. he looks the same height as 5'10.5 woody: Click Here

1 foot from me, similar footwear: 5' 11". Hair implants is correct. His Texan accent is kinda water'd down.
anonymous said on 14/May/09
I'm a solid 5 foot 10 and he looks taller than me. His girlfriend is 5 foot 8 and he is taller by a few inches. He is taller than all his leading ladies by a conseiderable amount. The shortest costar was sarah jessica parker in family stone and he towered over her. He always looked 5 foot 11 leonari. No leonari you should get a life, he is 5 foot 11.
RisingForce said on 13/May/09
he really does look the 5-11.75 that he claims quite often. i think he might hit that out of bed.

here he's not much shorter than 6-2.5 listed ashton kutcher. Click Here though he was wearing these boots Click Here that still points to him not being a hair under 5-11.

i see less than 4 inches between matthew and brendan fraser who claims and looks 6-3.5 to me. Click Here and mcconaughey is slouching, though i couldn't find a picture of his shoes.

he's taller than 6-0 jake gyllenhaal here. Click Here though, again he was wearing boots. Click Here

for now i'll buy his 5-11.75 claim as his height out of bed.
RisingForce said on 12/May/09
he has a good 3 inches on 5-8.5 anthony hopkins. Click Here

now the question is if he wears lifts or not. i still wouldn't bet on him being under 5-11.

he looks 5'10 in stills of fools gold. But he jumps to nearly 6ft in a few premiere pics.

He is definately 5 foot 11. Who actually measures themself in the morning and before they sleep. Not everyone has a measuring tape next to their bed. Get a life. I'm just making a generalisation. He is taller than you think. I know a lot about height. That's why i'm in this forum.

He also looked 5'10 flat in U571 compared to Bill Paxon who is 5'11.5. oddly enough though he looked 5'11 in that same movie next to 5'9 Jon Bon Jovi so anything between 5'10-5'11 seems legit.

I just saw him in Vegas a couple weeks ago and I thought he was a 12-year old boy. He is small. I don't think he could possibly be over 5'10". I was standing right next to him.

Exactly Jack. There is one shot that is a full body shot and they both are in flip flops and he looks to be a flat 5'10. He has looked that height on occasion with Lance Armstrong as well.

I always thought he was 5'11 because he was shorter than 6 footers whenever I saw him on a tv show or something. But he looked REALLY 5'10 in Fool's Gold with Kate Hudson.

He's not short; I'm not trying to say that. I'm just saying his height sure does fluctuate.

Wow anonymous. I can only speak for myself, but I am 5'11 out of bed, 5'10.5 most of the day and 5'10.25 at night before bed. For the record I consider my height 5'10.5 and usually just round it to 5'11 when asked.

"He'd be the tallest looking 5'10" guy I've ever seen if he was that short."

Rising Force, what the freak are you talking about? What do you mean by "That short"? 5'10" is in no way shape or form short it's clearly average height for a male, which he basically looks. Someone who is 5'9" or 5'10" could easily look 5'11" or 6 foot based on their build and bone structure.

Glenn, what would you say is more accurate? 5'11" flat or 5'11.75"? I ask because your initial estimate from when you met him in the mid 90's I believe was 5'11.5", but I don't know if you've seen him lately.

He got downgraded when the video of him and Clinton Portis came up and he was shorter than Portis who is 5'10.5
bam said on 8/Mar/09
the weird thing with this guy is that 5'10.5 is ridiculous. But so is 5'11.75. He was listed at near 6ft at one point in time on this site (i think 5'11.5). So he either wears lifts, or has deceptive posture. 5'11 flat makes most sense.

He passed right beside me at Ipanema Beach during Carnaval last week. I'm 6'0 sharp. He's at least two inches smaller. I definitely put him at 5'10 tops.
RisingForce said on 2/Mar/09
I think you're reading too much into the bathrobe. I doubt he's trying hard top convince everyone he's that height. I think he's simply joking about not quite being 6 feet.

Now if he's 5'10.5" or 5'11.75" I don't know, but I'd bet he's in that range. Not under 5'10.5", but not over 5'11.75".
Anonymous said on 1/Mar/09
Yeah. I mean even guys who are measured at the NFL combine at 5'11-3/4" probably claim 6'0. If i remember correctly, when he first got going he was always listed as 5'11 and then it grew to 5'11-3/4. suspicious indeed!
meister said on 1/Mar/09
I sat across the aisle from him at a Dodgers/Astros game last year. Everyone was commenting how small he was. He and his wife/gf arrived late (and left early) and although I was sitting down I'd say he's definitely no taller than 5'9. Probably closer to 5'8.
Complex said on 27/Feb/09
And inscribing it on his bathrobe is even more suspicious cuz it's like he's tryin' hard to prove he's that height!
Complex said on 27/Feb/09
very suspicious!!
Anonymous said on 26/Feb/09
Right Complex. even if if were 5'11.75 out of bed, and he was going by that, he would most likely claim 6'. when someone is that precise with their height, especially around the 6' mark, it seems really suspicious.
Complex said on 25/Feb/09
lol brad
if he were 5'11 3/4 he would claim 6'0 in my opinion..
Brad said on 24/Feb/09
Somebody ask him about the transplants up front.
RisingForce said on 23/Feb/09
Rob, here's a direct quote from him. So that 5-11 3/4 figure is what he actually claims and not just a joke on his bathrobe.

"I'm 5-feet-113/4 , not 6 feet,"

Click Here
RisingForce said on 23/Feb/09
To be fair we'd have to see his picture to say that. Matthew McConaughey is tricky, I use to think he was 5'10" but the more I hear and see 5'11" sounds more accurate. But I've also thought 5'11.75" before because in the mid 90's I believe Glenn saw him and estimated him at 5'11.5" which adds up with the 5'11.75" figure. He's certainly not under 5'10" though and he's obviously not a full 6 ft.
Complex said on 22/Feb/09

I think alot of people dont know their own height so they unintentionally exaggerate a celeb's height when they meet one. for ex, i used to think i was 6', so if i were to meet someone my height i would say they were definitely 6. when in reality i am 5'10.5. Jason, if you are 5'10 in shoes i totally buy Matt as 6' in shoes, possibly with help but possibly without. no way 6' barefoot though.
Complex said on 21/Feb/09
Jason if that's true then post it with your measured height, likely he was in lifts, if you're 5'10 you would barely see a difference between you & him barefoot, if any.

good point. I'm actually right around that height, but still growing my doctor says. The thing is that people get so uptight about half an inch that it is ridiculous.

I saw McC in the flesh just 3 weeks ago and I can honestly put an end to all this speculation and doubt. This was in London at about 7:32 in the evening but obviously if he'd just flown over he would have been on American - and therefore morning/early afternoon time. Anyway, he was no more than 3'2.5 and that is no word of a lie. I was, however, standing about 10 metres from him so that might have been to do with perspective. Hope this helps put an end to all the confusion.

Yeah Complex but the little ground advantage is why he looks about 4" taller instead of the 2-3" taller he is in reality. The ground is fairly solid so the only advantage is the slight slope.

Rising you can clearly see he's on the higher end of that sloping beach. Just look at his feet how the slant down or the board. I've seen pictures of them where he is no more than an inch taller barefoot on what appears pretty level ground, but who knows how tall she really is anyways.

Complex said on 17/Dec/08
That's right anonymous, ppl just don't know. It's not that they all inflate on purpose, they just prolly don't know. Like for instance you say 5'10.5, i'm assuming evening height, so in the morning you'd be a little over 5'11 and in decent shoes, add hair, and thin build, you'd easily look 6'0. Which is prolly why alot of ppl say you look 6. I get the same thing al the time, ppl always claiming i'm taller than I really say, sometimes I think they say that cuz some ppl look taller, but other times I think they might say it to support their own height inflation. Sometimes like "you must be 6 cuz i'm 5'10.5" when reallly they're prolly lower...
Anonymous said on 16/Dec/08
I agree with both of you complex and flippant. I really think that alot of people really believe they are the height they claim. If i hadn't measured myself I would believe my height was 1.5" more than it really is, mainly cuz people always guess my height as 6' but i am really 5'10.5. After i respond that i am 5'10.5 i always get the "no way i am such and such height so you must be 6'". People in general just dont know their true height.
Complex said on 15/Dec/08
Lol very very true flippant! Very! I mean alot do appear taller than they are, but stitching you're elevator/lift height on you're bathrobe....that's just classic, lol! I too always get ppl saying i'm taller than I actually am, consistently yet I still claim my legit height. One reason I think ppl think i'm taller than I am is I claim my evening height and i'm pretty thin, not too thin but somewhat and sometimes I wear timberlands. All of this contributes to me looking 2 inches or so taller than I am, so imagine celebs that are thin with a good build that wear elevators and lifts!! That's how ppl like Mcconaughey, Pitt, & Damon pull is off!

I mean I pull off a taller height than I am w/o trying, so these celebs who have the power and the money to look taller (lifts, elevators, etc) can easily look 3 to 4 inches taller than they really are.

Matthew is likely in the 5'9 region, 5'11.75 is a joke!

Complex said on 10/Dec/08
Wow, I believe that too flippant, I always thought that but enough ppl argued with me that they had me convinced he might be a legit 5'10, 5'9 seems right barefoot, in lifts who knows, but barefoot 5'9 region, i'd agree with that!
Complex said on 9/Dec/08
Wierd thing is he looked a good 2.5-3 inches shorter than Bradley Cooper who's listed 6'1 although, i'm skeptical, I think Cooper is maybe more 6'0 even, he was the same height as Walken maybe a tad taller in Wedding Crashers (Alot say 5'11 for Walken) and he was shorter than 6'1 Dax Shepherd in the comebacks, so if Cooper is 6'1, 5'9 range would definately be a possibility for MM. This legit 5'11 stuff for MM is pretty insane, again I say this height here is the most I would buy although I think the tip of his head barefoot really ends up in the 5'9 range. In lifts who knows. But for those in doubt, watch Failure to Launch, Cooper who is likely 6'0 I guess had a good few inches on MM, so 5'11 or 5'11 3/4 is out, 5'10.5 is generous as well ;)

Flippant I have always thought that, like in that range, I really have, but to be a tad generous I say 5'10 max, lol! I've always figured in the 5'9 range, I mean next to Lance, Alves, Hudson, he looks no more than this. Unless thy are all taller than they claim, lol! Lance prolly falls below 5'9 if I had to guess!

There's nothing wrong with morning height Complex and I haven't been measured by a doctor in atleast 5-6 years but last time I was measured by a doctor I took off my shoes.
Complex said on 6/Dec/08
Click Here
Djimon Hounsou (listed 6'1-6'2, 6'2 max or slightly under)
Bill Clinton (Listed here @ 6'2)
And others such as Morgan Freeman, The top of Matt's head comes to Djimon's eyes and this is all assuming Matthews is not in lifts. Personally I think Djimon is 6'1.5 but even at 6'2 he's well over Mcconaughey, especially if you took out mcc's poofy hair and if he's wearing lifts that would be even more crazy, no way the almost 6'0 he as on his bathrobe, 179 is the absolute most i'd buy although I think 5'9.75-5'10 legit would be more accurate in the evening.

The thing is, alot of ppl go by their measurements at the doctor's office, here's the flaws about that, for one you generally go to the doctor in the morning, rare that your gonna go in the evening when your at your lowest and two the i've been several times when they measure with shoes on. It's almost as if it's too much of a hassle to take off your shoes and plus maybe they think itll build self-esteem if ppl are measured higher than they are. Last time I went I was getting measured and offered to take off my shoes and she was like "nah that's ok, i'll measure you as you are." Which is ultimately unaccurate!

I could buy a solid 5'10 for him assuming that he's not a lift wearer, his height is kinda hard to pin down cuz he's in shoes alot and he's also barefoot alot. But yeah, if he were 5'9 3/4 which Ikinda think, that's virtually 5'10, so I could buy a quarter to a half inch more than that, but I really think he doesn't go over the height listd here barefoot!

Complex said on 2/Dec/08
Instead of claiming 5-11 3/4 as his offical height on his bathrobe, he should try to save face and embarrassment and make the numbers stand for something else.
5(how old he was when he first got abs)-11(old football jersey or something) 3/4 (could mean on the scale ranging from 5 foot to 6 foot, his height is three quarters of the way to the journey of 6'0)
-----1/4=5'3-----2/4=5'6------3/4=5'9-------4/4
5'0-----------------------------------------6'0

Or max 1 inch of 3/4, I still think barefoot he's in the 5'9 region, 5'9 3/4, maybe 5'10...the height listed here max morning height for him.

Nice pics Dural, there are several of him and lance barely an inch apart, and personally I think lance is a flat 5'9.

(another with him & fox) without his hair, i'm not sure he'd even reach fox's eyes with the top of his head...

Would be funny IF the 5-11 3/4 on his bathrobe is in his lifts.
glenn said on 30/Nov/08
some of those pics are bad to judge with.one pic he looks 5-9 and thats silly.he is 5-11 min.

I watched reign of fire last night. he looked 5'10.5 compared to 6' Bale. 5'10.5 is not short. it just sounds short cuz you have lots of 5'8-5'9 guys claiming 5'10. not that 5'8-5'9 is short either.

I think 5'10"-5'11" is correct

Well Complex Those guys are shorter guys but a 5ft10-5ft10.5 guy wouldnt stand out by that much. However I will admit he does give the impression of wearing lifts at times.
glenn said on 29/Nov/08
cause he is 5-11.3/4 like he says he is.morning height.bad posture he can look under 5-11.

He didn't look much taller than Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. I'm assuming Cruise wore lifts, but Matthew still only had an inch or two at most on him.
RisingForce said on 28/Nov/08
Downey is 5'8" minimum and Cruise is about the same(maybe a hair shorter).
Complex said on 27/Nov/08
Lenad he stands out with them because those guys range from 5'5-5'7.5!

He's obviously a lift wearer - check out the pic!!!

It's been my experience that almost no one tells their true height, especially to the quarter inch. Why should we take a celeb at their word? Glenn's seen him and says 5'11. I can buy that, but 5'11.75? I'm not saying it's out of the question, but I can't see it. He looked an inch less than 6' Christian Bale in Reign of Fire as well.

Anonymous, how about all of the other pictures that show him 4-5 inches taller than her? She's probably 5'8" and he's 5'11.75".

Yeah 5'11 is way too hard to buy, i'm not sure whether is g/f is 5'7 or 5'9 but even if she's 5'9, that puts him 5'10 tops here and his sandles are thicker than hers and she's leaning. I'd put good money that his head never goes above 5'10.5 in the barefeet. Maybe that's his morning height, I dunno. But he's not a full 5'11. Most likely, he's 5'9 evening height or maybe a tad over, 5'10 at best!

thanks jon.

He did look an inch shorter than 5'11ish Bill Paxton in U571. I think he is 5'10.5"-5'11, with 5'10.5 being my guess. I can buy 5'11 too since that's what Glenn saw, but I can't get the image of him shorter than Clinton Portis out of my head. Portis was measured at 5'10-7/8 at the combine and that is early in the morning too.

If you watch his advert he looks tall. Also my sister and her friends have seen him at a premiere with penelope cruz and said he looked 6 ft and very tall next to her. Will Smith was there who they put at 6'2" The same people saw vin diesel who you have at 6ft and said he looked short so they have perspective. He is easily 5'11" and does look taller than brad pitt because of his great structure. By the way glad Glens here to stay because he makes this site.
glenn said on 19/Nov/08
how does he look the height he claims next to 5-9,5-10 jon bon jovi? if he isnt near 6ft,he is 5-11 cause i saw him a plenty.

Viper: why is it hard to buy? he was 4-5 inches taller than Kate Hudson who is 5'6"
Anonymous said on 19/Nov/08
If he is 5'11.75 than Bradley Cooper is pushing 6'3 and he didn't look close to that in Wedding Crashers. Also, there is a scene in "fool's gold" where Kate Hudson and Matt are in flip flops right after their divorce hearing, he is 4" taller than her. If he is 5'11.75, then she is 5'8.

Brad said on 19/Nov/08
