Michael Caine's Height
6ft ¼ in (183.5 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 1 ¾ (187.3 cm)
British actor best known for roles in films like The Italian Job, Alfie, Get Carter, The Ipcress File, Sleuth, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, The Man Who Would Be King, Hannah and Her Sisters and The Cidar House Rules.
I put on a stone for this role. And I humped myself down so that I looked about 5ft 9ins - actually I'm 6ft 2ins
At fifteen I was nearly six feet and as skinny as a rake.
I was six feet two and weighed a hundred and seventy-five pounds.

I think Ewan McGregor, Stephen Dorff, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe and Tobey Maguire are wonderful actors. There are many other fine actors in Hollywood. But... I've never seen a tall one. It seems to me that there's a generation of very talented small people... maybe they are more ambitious because they are more angry because they are short.
To be taken to the country in the fresh air, with exercise and everything, I sprang up. By the time — I'm 6 feet, 2 [inches], but by the time I was 14, I was 6 feet tall.

Rob, is a current height necessary? Michael announced that he is retiring from the cinemas like a month ago

Green at 6ft2½ is arguable, Arch. More feasible if Caine was the full 6ft2 (still not impossible).
I think overall a weak 6ft2 for Michael and Nigel at a strong 6ft2 makes the most sense. I think The Ipcress File is an underrated classic...

A full 6 ft 2 was believable in the 1960s, but most comparisons later on it, there are some instances where it's difficult to argue over 6'1.5. 6'1.75 is OK I think, given that he could look a full 6'2 in his early years.

@Gerald, yh but Caine was basically within a hairs width of 6ft2 listed guys like Connery,Michael Gothard and David Warner. I think he had more than just a faint edge on those mentioned 6ft1 guys too. He also looked taller than Anthony Quinn in Marseille contract, so whilst 6ft1.5 isn't impossible, I think this 6ft1.75 suits him nicely. Not completely convinced he'd clear six foot today though at 90.

I actually missed the kiss between him and Reeve as I had taken a screenshot and was looking at it and missed that part of the film haha!! The question is whether Reeve had footwear advantage, if he did it wouldn't be much I think.

@Rory
Malden, Moore and potentially Gray were all 6’1” flat, so 6’1.5” for Caine’s peak still fits. Caine also looked more or less the same height as Michael Lonsdale in The Holcroft Covenant, sometimes Lonsdale even seemed taller than Caine!

Caine was actually wearing a big heel in the film with Reeve too, sent a screenshot to Rob, which he revealed near the end, so I doubt Reeve had an advantage in his boots. Definitely more than 1.5 inches between them, even accounting for footwear!

There's some pics Rampage where it does look like 6'2.5 and 6'1.75 but in the film it looked like a bigger diff between them. I think Poitier was wearing some sort of boot though so maybe he had the edge with footwear too.

I think the slight downgrade to 6'1 3/4 for Caine is perfect. A guy who fell just short of the 6'2 mark. Out of bed would have cleared it easily. Probably 183 - 184 max today.

I support the downgrade to 6ft1.75 but I wouldn't really go below that. Caine was always visibly taller than solid 6ft1 range guys like Karl Malden,Roger Moore and Charles Gray on screen.

Rob, I agree with Jtm that 6’1.5” is more appropriate for Caine’s peak. 6’2.75” Sidney Poitier did have over an inch on Caine in The Wilby Conspiracy, and 6’2” Nicol Williamson notably edged out Caine.

he was more than just 3 quarters shorter than gregory peck and this is a 70 year old peck we are talking about. i personally thought peck's 6'3 listing here was more accurate but for some reason many didn't agree with it. either way, he was most likely not over 6'2 at 70 so i think a further downgrade for Caine is necessary

Arch, I think 6ft1¾ is the sweet spot for Caine with 6ft1½ as an all-time low (reluctant to give it to him as he edged out Brosnan and Moore who were arguably that mark themselves in their heyday). Poitier maybe had a shot at 6ft2¾, not below 6ft2½ anyway. Could be some shoe action there because he certainly did not look that in other films.
I mean here he is struggling with 6ft2 next to an older, frailer Clark Gable in Band of Angels Click Here
Probably a more realistic difference between him and Caine
Click Here
Nicol Williamson I'd rate as a more robust 6ft2er than Caine, not under it and might've been a little over. Not sure about there being near 2in between them though! He was looked 6ft2-3 range in Excalibur with Neeson (strong 6ft4 then)
This is more like it Click Here
I think the verdict is that Caine was most likely an almost 6ft2 guy whilst Williamson, Nigel Green and Connery were more solid-to-strong 6ft2 since they edged him out

Rob, could Caine please get a downgrade from 6’2”?
I completely agree with Arch; there was more than an inch between Caine and Poitier in The Wilby Conspiracy, and Poitier was mostly under 6’3”. Caine was also shorter than 6’2” listed Nicol Williamson. 6’2” goes out the window for a peak Caine.

No chance of just half an inch between Caine and Poitier in the Wilby Conspiracy. If Caine was 6 ft 2, Poitier was 6'3.5!! Seriously there looked 1.25-1.5 inches between them, diffs at 17 minutes and 1 h 09. Caine barefoot was also 1.5-2 inches shorter than 6'2 listed Nicol Williamson in shoes (who looks a legit 6 ft 2 with Pleasence in The Jerusalem File). I never thought Poitier looked 6 ft 3 but he actually looks it with Caine, unless Caine was struggling with even 6'1.5 or he had footwear advantage..

I very much doubt Caine said he was only 6ft1 in his autobiography because A, he literally never looked as low as 6ft1 peak,even 6ft1.5 I'm doubtful of and B, he's repeatedly claimed 6ft2 throughout the years. 6ft1.75 is very possible but 6ft1 ? Zero chance. If he was 6ft1 then Roger Moore was 6ft0.25,Sidney Poitier was 6ft1.5,Sean Connery was 6ft1.25,Karl Malden was 6ft0.5 tops and on and on we could go.

hackman is taller than caine in most pictures in 2003 and I have seen a picture of those 2 together in the 1970s and Hackman still looked slightly taller. Hackman and Connery wee both closer to 6'2 peak than Caine imo and again Caine even mentioned in his autobiography that the 6'2 was not accurate and he was really 6'1.

Just a genius actor and brought the best out in Connery. Two A stars. If he is still over 6ft, then at his peak he would have been 6 2. Easy to drop two inches at his age.

Perhaps the quote was from late 90s or early 2000s.

Yes, no chance of just 6 ft 1 peak. He looked the full 6'2 in numerous films, including Alfie. The average guess is arguable though.

I wouldn't go any less than 6'1.75 for Caine. He could look a weak 6'2 often (187) but not as low as 6'1 1/2 imo. He could definitely pass for 6'2 in a Muppet's Christmas Carol though.

In the film Without a clue he's barefoot next to Jeffrey Jones and Nigel Davenport who are in shoes, and he looks no less than 6ft1 in comparison so you can rule out that range,certainly nearer 6ft2 than 1. Peak Caine..189.5 out of bed,187 at his worst,so weakish 6ft2 guy.

I suspect he was closer to 187cm than 188. Like 6'1.5-6'1.75 would be bang on for him when younger. If he was a legit 6'2 that means steve martin was between 6'0 and 6'1 as caine looked definitley not more than 2 inches taller than him. Martin was surely a weak 6'0 so I think caine was a good 187cm at peak.

Always a weak 6'2, hard to see him as over 2 inches taller than Steve Martin.

I just walked into an interesting programme on Sky Arts about Michael Caine.
I’m now close to buying some more of his films….,
6ft2 peak, and 6ft1.5 for today hit.
💰hit! He’ll be familiar with the same music that I like!

Rob, Caine could use a downgrade to 6’1.5” peak and Sidney Poitier an upgrade to 6’2.75” (like he claimed; why else would he bother with a 3/4 figure?).

Interestingly enough he was Peter O'Toole's understudy in the late 50's and by Caine's admission they socialized regularly....but there's not single photo of them together over the years!
I'd probably give O'Toole the edge judging by how he's appeared with co-stars that they've shared....

I'd rule out 6ft1.5 for prime Caine,I think that's undercutting him slightly,I think 6ft1.75/6ft2 was his range. He's done very well though at 89,still working,still walking and still no less than 6ft.

Weak 6'2 peak, I still think he would clear 6'0 today (183 - 184).
Also i really don't think John Cena would look any different.
You would literally be comparing a WRESTLER who gives that "larger than life" impression to a man in his 80s. Of course it would be easier to assume the former was taller than the latter, doesn't always make it so when it comes down to heright.

It should be quite clear that a picture of a celeb at an acute angle, draped down a wall without footwear/ground in the shot, probably isn't the best one for guessing their height.
Of course there might be some pictures out there of Caine looking 6ft1 or even less, but I think anyone who has seen half a dozen or more of Caines films from the 60s and 70s will know he was easily over 6ft1. I think 6ft1.5 is the least you could sensibly argue and 6ft2 the most. I've always thought 6ft1.75 might be a decent fit for peak Caine.

I saw Michael at the pictures in a film called 'Dressed to Kill'. He was indeed very tall on-screen, and as he had to dress as a women, his height kind of gave his little 'secret' away; 🤭 it's not often that you see 6-foot-something women cavorting around in blonde wigs -very suspect indeed! I was only a teenager, but I sussed him right out. I'd like to see it again some time....
My favourite movie of Michael's is definitely the revenge thriller, 'Harry Brown'. If you haven't seen it yet, I thoroughly recommend it. It's an essential film to add to your collection, of that I can assure you. Last time I watched it was on TV and when it had finished, I went straight upstairs to retrieve my own copy and I watched it again - twice!

In the film silver bears from the 70s, he looked 187cm with Louis Jordan, Joss Ackland, Jay Leno and Charles Grey but then looked at least 189cm with 188cm David Warner, so go figure. David Warners posture wasnt so good though which might explain it.
Id say he could potentially have been a height twin with Andy murray, 187.5.

6ft peak? Way, way off. Even at 88 now id say hed have a shot at clearing 6ft still. Id rule out 186 too, its not an outrageous guess but I cant rly think of too many instances of a 60s/70s Caine looking that low. 187-188cm guy peak I think is very fair. 6ft2 at say 11am,but around 187 after a long day of filming. Similar to guys like Hackman,Lazenby and Dalton.

Caine was noticeably taller than Sean Connery and Roger Moore at the 1989 Oscars when they all appeared together on stage to present an award. Connery may have lost a little height by then. I think Caine and Connery looked the exact same height in The Man Who Would Be King. I would say 6’1.5 for a peak is accurate.

Michael still looked well in excess of 6ft in the brilliant movie 'Harry Brown', which I saw on the 5Star channel on Friday night. 📺😁🚬 I compared Michael to the 5ft10+ Sean Harris, and Sean was definitely looking up to Michael in this 2009 film. I've looked at Sean and compared him to others before and sworn he was over 5ft10, so let's say he's at least a strong 5ft10.
Back in 2009, I'd say Michael was 6ft1 or slightly less. I saw him at the pictures in 'Dressed To Kill' 👗 decades ago, it being one of my first 'X'-rated movies, (so I was probably underage, wearing 4.5" heels and stuffing my bra out!) and, yes, he did look very tall. I remember thinking that to this day. ⏳

The strange thing with that clip is that Connery looks taller when they walk in and out of the room, but then when standing still if anything Caine looks a bit taller, perhaps due to the camera angle. I think both men were roughly 6ft2,who was a bit over or under it is harder to say exactly, I still think its more likely Caine was a weaker 6ft2 than young Connery but without measuring them its hard to say.

Whether they're 6ft 2 or 5ft 2, these guys look about the same height. If anything Caine might have an extra mm or two on Connery here. Physics being the determining factor here not street cred.

I don’t think Caine was lying about the 6’2” claim, but I suspect that was his morning height and he was more 6’1.75” or 6’1.5” for the majority of the day. I think Sean Connery was slightly taller than Caine, when both men were at their peaks. I also believe Caine looked less than two inches taller than Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and that Caine was very similar in height to Michael Lonsdale in The Holcroft Covenant.

@Hong,
I think in that scene the ground Glynn Edwards was standing on was higher, sloping up slightly towards the back gate. In the previous scene where they're in the betting shop they looked close in height. I'd agree though overall in Get Carter Caine didn't give a solid 6ft2 impression, more 6ft1.5-1.75 I felt. At other times in his career though he easily looked 6ft2, I still think maybe 6ft1.75 could be a good fit for him.

This fantastic guy, as seen in 'Harry Brown', has just about had all he can take. First he loses his wife to illness and then his best friend is brutally murdered by the local hoodlums.
I don't blame him for taking the law into his own hands, after hearing that his mate had been to the police and they'd done nothing about the harassment he'd been suffering, leading him to ask Harry (Michael) whether he'd ever killed anyone, and then producing a weapon for his own self-protection.
This is a serious, humourless watch.

6ft1.75 would suit him nicely I think. He's a guy who was near enough to 6ft2 to mostly look it and claim it but probably just under. 6ft1.5 is too low though.

I really don't see a difference of 5 inches and a quarter inch between them. I think Samuel L. Jackson from the 90s could easily measure taller than Caine from the 60s and 70s. Rob, maybe downgrade to at least 6'1.75" would be fine for him?

@Rory: agreed, that solid/strong 6ft2 range (188-189cm) belongs to Connery...Caine most likely fell a little shy of it but under 187cm
Today he may be at 6ft flat

Rob, surely now that Caine is in his mid-to-late eighties he's at most six-feet at this point? Especially considering that most people on this page seem to have him pegged at a weak 6'2 rather than the full figure?

Movieguy12 - Agreed re Caine and claimed 6'2" - close but no cigar - a bit under.
However, as you said, certainly not out of order claiming 6'2" - could often look same height as Connery and even a smidge taller - I think that might've been due to Connery's less perfect posture - Caine stood pretty straight most of the time but Sean was one of those guys who would only every now and then straighten to show his full potential and true advantage - which I think was in the realm of .25"-.5" over the artist formerly known as Micklewhite.
I haven't found a lot of visual evidence to uphold Connery's advantage - but this nicely framed clip from The Man Who Would Be King does it for me:

I think Caine was a weak 6'2''. Height straight out of bed so to speak but for most of the day slightly under I'd guess. Not really lying about his height though. Now probably around 6ft even. I think his comment about short actors being angry is meant as tongue in cheek.

It's great he doesn't inflate his height (Who doesn't when they're already tall, well maybe some people). But his prejudice comment does concern me. How they got a successful acting career has nothing to do with their small (some he mentioned are pretty average) stature and with that means they automatically have a napoleon complex. They got an acting career because they worked their butts off into making that happen. It not only takes heart and spirit to become a talented actor, but they have to work with the right people to get them into that spotlight.

Mr. Caine here thinks that short people are angry because they're short. This could be one of those things that tall people imagine to be true. You know: I'm glad I'm a six-footer and I pity all those guys who are not, kind of thing.
Would you rather look like Robert Conrad (short but handsome and athletic) or Michael Caine (tall but plain). I'd take door number one on that one.
Most people learn to accept their bodies as they are once they realize that they can't change them very much. This is why being fat is such a bad handicap. If you're fat, you really can become not-fat, but at the cost of near constant effort. But if you're short, well, it's not your fault.

I have just started watching for, say, the fifth or sixth time, the fantastic 2009 movie, 'Harry Brown'.
Michael plays the title role and has just received the dreadful news that his only remaining friend has been murdered, a fate which the friend has feared would be very shortly on the cards.
I can feel my eyes welling up already; I know what is to follow and it is far from pleasant.
It's full of swearing, but absolutely none of it is gratuitous. It boasts a top-notch cast, but the acting acolade goes to the well-seasoned actor, Michael Caine.
If you haven't already guessed, there is a 'take the law into your own hands' theme in this, but until you see it, only then will the time be right to agree or otherwise with how the elderly Harry decides to deal with what has happened to today's society and the country he fought for decades ago.
I started watching this film to see how much height Michael might have lost since the 8 years it was made. He looks a good 6ft0.75 - 6ft1, but I have noticed so, so much more than that!
This fine actor has always managed to put real emotion into his performance and, more so than ever now, has continued to do so. Many examples are among my DVD collection - not bad for someone who told her boyfriend in reply to being told that he used to live next door to Mr Caine's cat-loving half-sister, "Oh, I like him, but I'm not really a fan!"
Peak height? A good 6ft2, and today's height can't be much more or less than 6ft1, so that's where I will settle!

He looked a good deal shorter than Morgan Freeman in the intro to the Graham Norton show, would've thought hes under 6 ft now. But he does still have an inch on Zach Braff and doesn't look much shorter than Freeman at the premiere of Going in Style (Click Here) so may well be 6 ft 0.5.

Actually no I take that back. I still think when stood well today he can look the full 6 foot and peak I think he looked roughly 6ft 2 I don't think there's any concrete evidence to speak of to warrant a downgrade to 6'1.75 even though it's possible. I think 6ft flat today and peak 6ft 2 would be very fair.

Rob, surely he isn't anywhere near 6ft 1 today ? He struggles to look 6ft I think today as of 2017. I'd wager 6'1.75 peak and 5'11.75 today I think. 2 inch loss age 84.

I would normally have said someone like Caine in '88 aged 55, a smoker and slightly overweight, would have lost a good cm. The problem is though is generally he's been a guy who has done well holding on to his height, even today aged 83 he still looks at least 6ft and could 15 yrs back still look 6'1-2 range, which makes it seem unlikely he'd have lost anything much by his mid fifties. 187.5 peak and 187 flat in the late 1980s. 184 today. I think he looked about 2 inches taller than Steve Martin in dirty rotten scoundrels.

35-55 is middle age so yeah around 35 is the start of middle age therefore early middle age. I'd say being young stops at about 33, 31 i still young but at the end of it IMHO. Caine looked 6'1.5"-6'2" in movies peak to me, now due to shrinkage looks like a solid 6'0" to me.

Of course 34 is early middle age. Once you're in your late twenties you know you're not young any more. Caine and Connery were both middle-aged when they became famous.

@ Rory. I couldn't agree more with you that a 31-year-old is no way in early middle-age! Whoever said that must come from an incredibly old-minded family! 31 is a fantastic age, as you still have your looks and you have the added bonus of confidence, which is pretty thin on the ground at, say, 20!
Michael Caine starting his acting career at 31 is by no means late by today's standards or those of his day. Look at Dustin Hoffman - 30 when he played the title role in 'The Graduate'! Michael Caine had, and still has, height on his side; Dustin Hoffman is a short 5ft6, but both actors have had staying power because they are so good! This is one example where talent really has been prevalent.

problem I've always had with Caine isn't so much believing he's 6'2 as his posture is generally so poor that he never looks his height and I could believe he was every bit 6'2 and maybe a bit more. Generally you see very few photos where the floor, footwear etc can be verified, with other actors where he doesn't have a slight slouch of shoulders/neck/head. I do find it laughable that some are taking his appearance next to the likes of Bale, when Caine is in his 80s and saying barely taller so never 6'2.
