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.

It's funny that Charlie Cox looks relatively tall with that lineup, you know all these guys are shrinking, Jim Broadbent might be the only to still straighten up past six feet.

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?

Editor RobHe is getting closer to 6ft flat, but even not that long ago look at him with Gambon at about 5 ft9, cox at 5ft 10, he still seemed a bit more than 6ft there.

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 would place Sir Michael at a genuine 6'2" in his prime. I couldn't say what he is today. In Deathtrap, his co-star Christopher Reeve, who stood 6'4", was definitely about two inches taller.

next to connery can look misleading as Connery still has big shoulders and they are higher than Caine's but when look at each other you can see pretty much eye to eye level in the 1989 clip

I think the lowest you could argue is 6ft1.5 for Caine. Even that would do him an injustice I think, peak he'd be in that 6ft1.75-2 area. Didn't look as low as 6ft1 range.

Hawkins was in the 5'11-6 range. He was only taller than otoole when they have different footwear. At the beginning of the movie, when otoole was also wearing military uniform and boots, otoole was clearly taller than hawkins.
And proof to search in google pictures with otoole and hawkins in real life. You could see that otoole was clearly taller

Arch, I think 6ft2 is still an okay listing because he did look it more often than 6ft1. But the chances are higher that he might've dipped under it slightly at worst compared to someone like Connery who could look over it and probably held that mark at his low.
I do agree that today he's heading toward 6ft

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!

Of course, S.J.H. Height loss varies greatly among different individuals just as height itself, aging and every other physical characteristic varies greatly. Morgan Freeman is only 4 years younger than Caine and doesn't even seem to have lost an inch.

Shrinking 2' may be true but not for all old folks depends how well they holding their posture and health status. My granduncle (grandfather older brother) now at 91 and he only lost a full inch the last time since last year i met him he still standing pretty straight and look legit 6'1 like the past 17 years i could remember he didn't lost a single height at peak 6'2 in his 20s to late early 70s of age start losing an inch according to my grandfather. One example Sean Connery keep it quite well i saw few picture of him taken in 2013/2014 in his 83,84 of age look like he only loss half inch or max 2cm if he was 6'2 peak.

He seems 188 cm when he was younger, 187 cm when he passed his 50 years old. And 184 cm nowadays. He lost 4 cm. He is an old man 183/184 cm is very credible for him nowadays. Good actor.

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.

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.

@ 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.

A lot of the younger actors are totally infatuated with themselves and think they're god's gift. It's so clear to me that some of them are in it for the money and the fame. Others...they're anger with the media intruding their privacy is understandable. From the moment they step out the door of their homes to the moment they step back in, they get swept up by an ocean of cameras. It gets nauseating after awhile and some just snap. Alec Baldwin is a prime example.

[Editor Rob: when you go to a shopping mall and people from say a Utility or Credit card company tries to stop and get you to sign up for something...for a well-known actor, in public that's what it probably feels like a lot of the time. You can develop a thick skin and really ignore most of it, but many do react, naturally of course...

Rob I don't think Caine is the nicest of actors is he in real life judging by stories of his fierce temper on set and seeing him in interviews. Not a man you would want to upset and just by him giving you that 'look' you don't want to cross the line with him.
Seeing him play Alfred you'd think he was the sweetest man in the world. Leslie Grantham said actors are the worst people in the world and indeed they are paid to deceive us.

[Editor Rob: sometimes with films maybe it is best not knowing about personal lives of actors.
I don't envy though, the personal intrusion that actors have to endure. I can understand the nature of the business, the people involved, the 'yes men' and adulation. Over time actors can let it 'get to their heads' and it changes them, sometimes for the worse, but maybe in a lot of cases for the better; they realise the influence they have and use it for doing great things.]

Yeah I think you're right Rampage it was a tough call really but both around that 6 ft 2 mark. Connery in some scenes in Goldfinger and Dr. No in particular yeah he could seem a 189-90 guy at times. Walking down the hotel corridor in Goldfinger and Dr. No (with Ursula) he could look near 6 ft 3, but he was a good 2 inches shorter than 6'4" Rik van Nutter in Thunderball and didn't seem that much taller than Jack Lord in Dr. No really.

Arch, I'd go w/h Connery since he was bald and was in sandals while Caine was in military boots. But then again one could argue 187cm for the latter's peak. They were probably both around the 6ft2 mark in all honesty give or take.If were gonna be precise, looking at other films all evidence points towards 6ft1½-2 or "weak" 6ft2 for Caine (he could look just 6ft1 at times also). I'd go more in the opposite direction for Connery and guess anywhere between 6ft2-2½ or "strong" 6ft2 for his peak since he could pull off looking 6ft3 in early Bond and was considerably taller than other legit 6ft1 men (Gert Frobe, Jack Lord and even a young Kevin Costner later on)

I can't decide who edged who in The Man Who Would Be King. Just when you think Caine edged him out Connery could seem a bit taller. I think they were very close.

Could you beef up his credits? "best known for roles in films like Zulu, The Ipcress File, Alfie, The Italian Job, Sleuth, The Man Who Would Be King, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Cidar House Rules, The Prestige and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series".
I preferred The Quiet American to Cidar House Rules but he won an Oscar for the latter so I deferred. Also tough to leave off Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, A Bridge Too Far, Dressed to Kill, Educating Rita, Mona Lisa, Little Voice, Quills, Children of Men, Inception and on and on! Despite slumming in a bit of dreck here and there, Caine truly has had a career to be proud of.

Six-one in his younger days.
Just over six feet today.
It's amazing to see some of these actors in person because hardly any are the height they claim.
Almost every actor I've seen in the flesh was shorter than their bio claimed.
There were a handful,of exceptions.
John Wayne was definitely six-four.
Rock Hudson was six-five.
Steve McQueen was close to, if not five-ten.
George Segal was five-eleven as he claims.

Caine looked not much more than 6'1" in Hannah and Her Sisters, as both Max Von Sydow and Daniel Stern seemed several inches taller (close to 3 than 2 in)...on the other hand, in almost all of his early British movies he seems to tower over others like an easily 6'2" guy. Connery and Caine are similar, though I think Connery might a slightly stronger 6'2" than Caine is based on the comparison.

Thanks. I really thought Caine looked 6'2" range in Get Carter. Although the camera angle in a lot of scenes was looking up which made him look even taller. Of course none of males like films like Get Carter and The Wicker Man because of Britt Ekland's nudity, such a put off ;-]. The Italian Job is on TV later, haven't seen the original for quite a few years...

Rob why haven't you listed Alfie and The Ipcress File, he was nominated for an Oscar for Alfie and a BAFTA for Ipcress, they're among his signature roles I think, certainly iconic in British cinema. Looks a full 6'2" in the Ipcress File. He looks about 3 inches taller than Guy Doleman who you might remember in the clinic as "Count Lippe" in Bond's Thunderball opposite Sean Connery. He was about 5 ft 11. Nigel Green looks 4 inches taller than Doleman in Ipcress and about an inch on Caine. He was listed at 6'4", I guessed him at 6'3" which would seem more likely.

To be fair Rob I think He must have been six two because when I met him a year or so ago we were eye to eye and he seemed a good 6'1 so common sense would say that taking into account height loss he would have been minimum 6'2 in his younger day. Maybe the army measured him at night and he came out as 187 lol. But he is very tall for an older guy and has quiet good posture.

NO. 6'2". He was always a long-limbed guy, but his heavy build is deceptive and sometimes makes him look shorter than what he is. 6'2" is correct for him--like his friend Sean Connery, he hits 6'3" in shoes. Even today he looks close to 6'2"--he hasn't lost much.
"Looks 6'0" just like Jim Carrey?" What are you smoking? He has 2" on Carrey, FFS!

Both men have kept most of their height; in recent photos they still look to be minimum 6'1" in older age, and still close to 6'2".

all you stupid men who obviously have massive complexes about your height need to get over the fact that he's 6ft 2, which means he's tall. he's not 5ft 9. he's not 4ft 11. he's taller than 6ft, get over it, it doesnt make that much difference

Maybe 6'2 or 6'1.75 peak.
In 2004 michale caine was 186cm. just look at him next too Christian bale in batman begins.
Michale Caine did look just a fraction shorter than connery so possibly 187cm peak?

Not over 188cm peak and today he's still over 6ft. Like Sean Connery he's not lost the amount you would expect at his age.

A true legend--the original GET CARTER immortalized him. Just watched him in a low-key--albeit gritty & brutal--film from 2010 titled HARRY BROWN. Although he was 77 at the time, he still looks to have maintained that height. He's at least 6'1" today, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was still hitting the 6'2" mark, at least in the morning hours. He was a tall man when he was young, and now in older age, he's still tall. Great actor.

Actually after watching The Italian Job and Alfie I think 6"2(188cm) is sensible for his peak...
even in the 90s he still looked that tall...beside 6"0(183cm) Christian Bale he looks near 6"2 aswell.
Today he still looks a little over 6"1

In sweet liberty, Alda was a little bit tallere than Caine, almost the same. Same that Connery with Caine. So,i think that both Alda and Connery are true 6'2 footers and Caine was close to 6'2 at peak, but not a true 6'2. Like a strong 6'1.

Just a dumb question everyone, but if Sean Connery is now agreed on this site to have been 6'2" peak, and in 1975's "The Man who would be King" he was (consistently) slightly taller than Caine, then how is it that Caine can also be 6'2"?? Was Caine 6'1.5"?, or 6'1"?. In 1986's "Sweet Liberty", Caine is in scenes with legit 6'2" Alan Alda, so what height does Caine seem to be there, compared to Alda?

I don't upgrade everyone, Anonymous...For instance I think Caine was almost 6"2 at peak but not quite but today I still think he may be a fraction over 6"1
