I think Mel's peak height was 5'9 and now he's probably shrunk to 5'8.

in the photo robert used shoes with high heels and I suposse elevator inside the shoes , he always used that shoes in events to look 1.80 meters, so it seems higher than mel gibson, gibson even make a joke because robert looks taller than he in the event. robert measured 1.73 meters.

Editor Rob or just that shot is one that shows a bit more difference than it is, since Glover is standing at his tallest and maybe angle helps a little...

Editor Rob in that shot I'd argue there looked more like a 7 inch difference! Although, I don't know if the camera is adding height, it shows the difference you can get from a film still to a portrait vertical shot at times.

Editor Rob it would be interesting seeing stills of them side by side on the set, Glover's posture is up and down in those films, at times he looks a genuine 6ft 3, other times you think maybe not.

i agree. i mean when i say 5 foot 9 flat i meant to say as in what he is overall in the day. in the morning of course taller that. night shorter or possibly around that height. and around 5 foot 9.5 when he wakes up is my guess.

Actually, Mel looked about the same height as Sly to me on video at Cannes. Click Here At 0:55, 1:30 and 1:36. The most I could see Mel taller is maybe half an inch.
Mel usually looks more 5'9.5"-5'10" to me, but wears cowboy boots a lot. Like a lot of actors, he looked shorter earlier in his career, and is definitely under 5'10" and 5'9" flat wouldn't surprise me, but I can't see him below that.

yea Pesci is a lift wearer , same height as Marty yet behind the scenes in Goodfellas he was 2 " or 3 " more. Mel did pass for 5 '11 going by a peak 6 '3 Glover. So he'd measure 6 ft in cowboy boots , for him to be 5 '8 than he is getting 4 inches of footwear or Danny's peak was 6'2.

shredder, I know it's a regular cowboy boot, not an elevator shoe or an extra big heel, though the heel is the larger style of cowboy heel, but I'm wondering if the area where his foot is looks too bulky, which could suggest lifts. I'm going to try my cowboy boots and see how my foot looks in it with and without lifts. 5'9" flat is possible for Mel, but I honestly think 5'9.5" is still the best guess, and he doesn't look shorter today, imo. Remember, he was still looking taller than Richard Gere a year or 2 ago and wasn't wearing boots. I'm not nearly as sure Mel wears lifts as I am with Stallone and Cruise, but I am suspicious he has for a few reasons. I remember him looking similar height to Jimmy Kimmel while promoting Edge Of Darkness while wearing a fairly suspcious pair of cowboy boots, different than the Lethal Weapon ones. Though I think he was liftless at the Lethal Weapon 4 premiere. Click Here I think Pesci was wearing lifts, though. Mel towers over Jet Li, but it's clear that Glover is at least 5 inches taller than Mel, possibly more with good posture, and Glover was 52 so he could have been down to 6'2.5". I remember the difference in Lethal Weapon being just 4" at times, which would mean Mel was passing for 5'11", but more 5" at times as well, iirc.

A person's height is in bare feet, not wearing shoes of any description!..In the lethal Weapon movies Mel wore Riding Boots, which gave him over two inches of extra height.He wear elevator shoes, as Tom Cruise does, which gives him at least 2 inches of height.Before mel was famous I met him on a few occasions, as I worked with one of his brothers. I am 5-8" in bare feet, Mel was slightly shorter, and probably 5-7"

Rising , Those boots look like normal cowboy boots , a good 1.75 , Mel if not in lifts should be appearing an inch taller than his barefoot height in them , He was a good 4 inches under Glover in them but Glover peak is a debate going on.

Here's a couple of close ups of Mel's cowboy boots from the first Lethal Weapon. Click Here For reference, here's a couple of full shots. Click Here People can make up their own minds over whether he has lifts in them, but I figured those pictures will be helpful in that, and once you have an idea of how much Mel was getting from his boots, you can compare to Glover in the movie since there were some full shots.

5'9" flat is definitely debatable for Mel. I'm almost on the same page with you there. Explains the difference with Joaquin, why he was a bit shorter than Kurt Russell and why Sigourney Weaver said he was 5'9". Plus as you mentioned, he may have gotten an edge with posture over Parkinson.
I'm undecided between 5'9" and 5'9.5", but I definitely don't see him shorter or taller than that range.
On a separate note, I'm very excited about his addition to the Expendables 3 cast, and it looks like he's been working hard for the part. Click Here Never seen Mel with that much size and he's 57! Impressive, though he may have had some help with some Deca, Winstrol, HGH or Testosterone. Regardless, it's clear he's really working to be ready.

When Mel was at Fort Benning Ga filming "We Were Soldiers" he attended a minor league hockey game in Columbus. The venue has a shared bar area for the VIP suites and I stood next to him and I'm 5' 11". I had at least 2" on him.

As far as Parkinson, well, I think he may have been slightly taller than 5'10" peak in fact Rob had something listed to that effect for a while on his page. And maybe been a guy who hadn't lost much by his mid 60s. I agree, he did look about an inch taller than Phoenix. I'm fine with 5'9" flat for Mel as well. I'd just be surprised if he was shorter than that. 5'9"-5'9.5" range, imo. Strange that he did look shorter than Kurt Russell, though.

shorter tan 5 foot 9 kurt Russell in TEQUILA SUNRISE. of course kurt was in casuals. hes 5 foot 9 flat. 1 inch taller tan 5 foot 8 joaquin Phoenix. he was a tad bit shorter tan Michael parkinson who was in his mid 60s at that time. doubt parkinson was a full 5 foot 10. gibsons posture also looked more forced tan parkinson. but i peg 5 foot 9 flat.

As listed, the lowest height I could see for him in the evening is 5'9". Just look at the '02 Michael Parkinson comparison, he was barely shorter at all and that adds up with how tall Mel usually looks except for when he wears cowboy boots when he could pass for a legit 5'10", sometimes even a weak 5'11".

When you see his pictures with Joaquin Phoenix he looks " slightly " taller,
Something that should make him AT THE VERY MOST 5ft9 .
But I think 174 cm it's more acceptable .

I saw Mel in a coffeeshop down the street from his ranch in Malibu in 1998. Unless he's had a latent growth spurt, the guy is 5'4" to 5'5" tops. I am just shy of 5'10" and he was much shorter. How many of you have met him in person, shackin his hand and looked him in the eyes? He was extremely pleasant and personable to all in the shop.

It's amazing how short an actor can look relative to other actors. Danny Glover and Heath Ledger both dwarfed him. He looked average-sized in Maverick next to 5'3" Jodie Foster. Then again, next to Downey in Air America and Joaquin Phoenix in Signs, 5'10" or thereabout is entirely believable because he had at least 2 inches on both of them.

I once saw a programme where a number of Gibson's co-stars revealed just how small he was. There were stories, including one where one of his female co-stars said he had to stand on a box in order to kiss her and a tall male, who said he personally had to part his legs by about three feet in order to get into a top-half shot with him. Another story had it that he wore heels of about three inches. Anyhow, 5ft7 wouldn't be far wrong.

indeed, but we don't know how tall was Parkinson at the time, we're just guessing. the postures were also a lot different, I remember Parkinson having a really loose posture compared to Gibson's military posture. however, Gibson had no lifts. he proved it.

Gibson projects a global impression of strength, confidence and manliness. In "Edge of darkness", he appears clearly as much shorter that other actors, for instance Danny Huston (as the villain, Bennett) or the one who plays the senator, and the other one who plays the lawyer called Sanderman, I don't know their names. Despite that, he looks tough and isn't dwarfed (no pun intended) by these characters.

He can easily look 5'10"(see the George Clooney video). But if Michael Parkinson was 5'10" at the time of that interview then 5'9"-5'9.5" looks right. But I guess Parkinson could've been taller at that time.

Short legs, To be he has the proportions of a 5'8"-5'9" guy. To me he looks the same height on screen as Sylvester Stsllone and lI had them both at 5'8"-5'8.5" range. Is this guy a lift wearer? Because 5'8" would seem laughable next to Clooney who is not under 5'10".

Not the monster they portray on tv (height or personality). He was, at least, nice to me. He was shooting one of the Lethal Weapon movies here on Clearwater Beach, FL a long time ago. I was just a kid (10 years old and 5 foot even, I think?) but remember that he was WAY taller than me but not too much taller than my 5'6" father. He was 5'9" TOPS my dad said. I believe him because he's pretty accurate about this stuff and he's my dad..

Henry is btw a bit taller than measured (by Men's Health) Thomas Jane in 'Hung'. so ye, Gibson looked a legit 5'11 in 'Payback'. he wore very weak footwear in Tequila.

You know, he just looks really short and even stumpy sometimes. I can't see him over 5'9, and my guess is more like 5'8. He's probably in between the two somewhere.

Well to be fair, Sir Parkinson is every bit of 5'10 next to a booted Will Smith. I couldn't find the video of them, but I've watched it and was pretty sure. Plus Rob did state that Sir Parkinson, at peak is taller than 5'10, so it makes sense that he's around 5'10 in his 2000s shows. 5'9-5'9.5 for Mel, no lower, because then there would be 1 in and above between Mel and Parkinson which clearly isn't, or no higher, because I also agree that he does look smaller in those movie you mention, True. To me, his frame is around 5'9-5'10, has a long upper body but shorter legs, so it might make him look shorter, plus that he's isn't slim. Watch Payback, and you get the idea. 5'9 is probably most realistic for Mel, but him looking really close in height with Sir Parkinson, IMO Mel earns the benefit of the doubt, so this listing is fine

It's sad to witness what's happened to him in recent years. His personal problems aside, he's a talented actor and director. I grew up with the Mad Max stuff and, of course, 1987's LETHAL WEAPON. He was terrific in last year's EDGE OF DARKNESS.
I think at peak he was a weak 5'9" tall--5'9" for most the day, and just a bit under by bedtime. In EDGE OF DARKNESS, 6'3" co-star Jay O. Sanders towered him by a good 6".

Gibson is 5'8" nowhere near 5'10" tall, he even said when they were casting for 007 before Brosnan got the role that Gibson would be a short 007 at 5'8", well Daniel Craig is the shortest man to portray James Bond at 5'10".

Gibson was never more than 5'8 generously speaking.

If I were an actor I would purposely underestimate my height in public statements. That way when fans see me they'll say "wow, he's tall in person!"

Dear "Danimal": With respect, the average height for an adult male in the United States doesn´t to 5'11 ". That's the average height for an adult male in some of the countries with the highest average height of the world as be Sweden, Holland and Denmark. There are, today, no more than 5 / 7 countries that hold that average height for adult male in the world.
According to scientific research (we know that this info is more important than you or myself think, unless you tell me that you are scientist or physician involved in this issue), the current average height for adult male in the United States is about . 5'9 "(to be considered all races and age ranges). What I mentioned in last place is important because the population of a country is composed of human beings, without discriminating the color of their skin, race, national origin of their ancestors, etc.).. It should say the latter, as I've seen opinions where the average height is divided by categories of "skin" and "origin."
If we consider such thinking to be correct, just to cite one example, who do not reside in the United States should consider the prevalent race, in that great nation, is the black race, because every time we see a boxing match, most fighters who represent this country are black men. And we both that´d be a big mistake.

not a chance in hell hes 5'10" lol. go watch FOREVER YOUNG w/ 5'7" jamie lee curtis. hes 5'9" max.
I have to agree. Gibson didn't wear lifts in 'Forever Young' and he looked 5ft8 in that movie, 5ft9 at best. 5ft10 is out of the question for him, but I don't believe he was ever 5ft6 or 5ft7.anything. 5ft8 flat at least, but IMO that's also an illusion given by his stocky build.
he was an obvious 5ft9 in the 'Mad Max' movies. in 'Patriot' he looked strong 5ft11 next to the late H. Ledger who was at least 6'0.5'' barefoot.
but still, in 'Forever Young', 'Tequila Sunrise' and 'Bird on a Wire' he gave a shortish man impression. we'll never know, Mel is the trickiest. 5ft9 flat is the safest estimate IMO, and that's the height he should be listed at.

LOL. No, not at all. I have no problem believing he's around 5'10" after seeing Van Damme measure 5'9.5"/5'9.75". Gibson gives a taller impression than Van Damme and he's close to Clooney's height. A lot depends on how tall Michael Parkinson was in 2002, but Mel has never looked 5'6" or anywhere near it. He's given 5'8" illusions, but that's the shortest.

George is slouching(not stood up straight)in that video standing next to Mel. But he is the same height as him, roughly 5ft,"10 they both are or slightly under by half an inch. I have seen a picture of them stood together side by side at a premier with similar shoes on and they are both the same height.

Funny thing this morning on Sunrise (Australian morning program), they were talking about Mel Gibson turning himself in and getting his mugshot. The celebrity gossip guy says Mel Gibson reported in at 5'10" and 190lb, to which Kochie (David Koch) replies something like "wow he's short, he's really short". I found Kochie's reaction amusing.
Kochie is a douche. I bet Kochie thinks he's top **** cos he might be 6ft flat, what a loser. 5'10 isn't short by any stretch, its just average. And Mel has never looked huge onscreen so I don't get his stupid reaction.

I have watched and enjoyed Mr Gibson's movies (pre arrests, drunk driving, wife beatings) and have easily compared his height to fellow actors and Mel has always come up "short." 5'8" is considered short in America for a man and, probably in his native land of down-under, too. Regardless of his height, it's his actions in his personal life that have reduced his many charms on the big screen for me. A sad case. I wonder what his first wife endured for all those early years? Hope he gets the help he needs. Obviousily a very angry man with deep conflicts.

Listed at 5'10 and 190 lbs on his most recent arrest booking sheet, which proves this listing is most likely to be spot on and dispels any daft 5'7/8 estimates. However, we all know how inaccurate on occasions mugshot height listings can be.

I totally agree with your comment.I have observed mel myself from a very short distance when he has been out and about in malibu wearing sandals on his feet and i am 5ft8" with flats on and i could clearly see he was slightly taller than myself.He is also quite stocky looking and he does look about 5ft10" to me, maybe a fraction shorter if he was standing barefoot and that would definately put him at the listed 5ft.9.5". I also agree with RICH as well, the fact that people persieve him to be some 6ft 2" strong muscle type guy but in reality he's not, buy hey guys thats hollywood for you the land of make believe.

Mel Gibson's ABSOLUTE PEAK height (perhaps in his earlier days) I'd say would be: Morning - 5ft9, Afternoon - 5ft8.75, Evening - 5ft8.5, Before Bed - 5ft8.25. On other, not so good days, (still keeping to when he was younger) it's likely he would have been around quarter of an inch shorter, making him 5ft8.75 out of bed and 5ft8 before bed. He may have lost a tiny bit of his peak height through age but not much. Now, on a GOOD day, I'd say he's a little under 5ft9 out of bed and a little over 5ft8 before bed. Again, at his age now, on a NOT SO GOOD day, he maybe 5ft8.5 in the morning and a little under 5ft8 before bed. I don't think he's as short as some people say he is. I think one of the reasons some are surprised by his height when they see him is because they have an image of him being 6ft+ which sometimes seems to be the expected height of the 'strong' action-type movie stars.
