Have you ever thought about doing a peak height for MJ, Rob? He clearly looked shorter in his later years and started wearing heeled boots, and as his autopsy stated that he had spine degeneration and osteoarthritis its very possible that he lost some height, maybe half an inch or so.

I doubt he was ever any taller than 5-9. Very thin guy which made him appear taller.
I hope he's resting in peace. What a tortured life he led.

A lot of reputable celebrities who have met him peg him at over six feet tall. With a proper stance, he could've been very close to six feet tall in his flat(1 inch) penny loafers.

You can easily determine someone's height simply with their eye level. A 6'1" person would have an eye level of 5'8". A 6'2" person would have an eye level of 5'9". A 6'3" person would have an eye level of 5'10" and so on.Bill clinton(6"2) has an eye level on Michael Jackson...

I visited Madame Tussaud's and stood next to Michaels statue, I was taken by surprise how much taller he was than I thought, I am close to 5'8" and even with slightly heeled shoes on it felt like he still was taller than me by a few more inches, odd. I still don't think he was over 5'10" though, a strong 5'9" would have been his tallest I think.

he's been described as everything from 5'4 to 6'2
One girl described meeting Michael and said he was slightly shorter than her and that she's only 5'5, she estimated him as between 5'4 and 5'4.5
On the other hand, Howard Stern described meeting Michael and said he looked 6'2 to him
I'd say both of those estimations are WAAAY off, and that he was around 5'9, more or less around that.

According to Madame Tussauds, they accurately measure each part of the body, here's an example Click Here
He was reportedly measured by them in November, 1984, so his height would have been taken during his peak of age 26. He definitely wasn't 5'11, he looked exactly 5'9, not under or over. Exactly an inch taller than me at 5'8.

I've just been to Madame Tussauds a few days ago, he looked around 5'9, maybe slightly over. I'm 5'8 and he owned me by at least an inch. His head looked quite big, 9 inches ish. He's as average as average can get really.

Didn't he claim 5'10" in his autobiography from the 80's? In any case, I think he's 5'8" or 5'8.5" max, since that looks more believable in comparisons. I agree his build can give him a 5'10" impression, but he can look just 5'7" in comparisons due to his posture. Remember, he was shorter in cowboy boots in full body pics and a video than a 5'9" range Eddie Murphy was in flatter looking shoes.

Michael Jackson was stated to have rigor mortis all over his body in his autopsy. Rigor Mortis would shorten height with tightening of muscles, and he was measured at 5ft 9, meaning its very likely he was taller than this.
Not to forget, he was stated to also have degenerative osteoarthritis in his spine. Again, that would shorten height.

I think he could have been 176cm judging by the photos with Eddie Murphy.
Before I read about his height I thought he was 6ft or something, To me, he looked tall but now when you look back at photos you can see that he looked very average. It was just his slim figure and build. He had long legs, big hands and wide shoulders which is all stereotype characteristic of a tall man.

Steve, actually there is a photo of Michael and Dick Clark in 1988. Michael looked almost 2 inches taller than him! And they both were in line!
So either Michael shrunk a whole lot by 2002 or it was camera angles.
I would post the photo but I'm not exactly sure how to shorten links.

Rob you might want to read this. Here's all info gathered on his height
• He was measured 5'9 on his autopsy but the report also states he had spine degeneration and osteoarthritis which shortens height and causes it lose its water
• Staff said his dancers had to range from 5'9 to 5'11, which she said is around his barefoot height
• He claimed he had a massive growth spurt as a teenager and went from 5ft to 5ft 10 and felt uncomfortable with the sudden change, he said this in his book, Moonwalk. His sister Latoya confirmed this.
• He was billed at 5'11 on his mugshot, but likely wore shoes with a heel
• Howard Stern described Michael as 6'2, others such as Bo Jackson, Adam Curry, Raymone Bayne, Carson Daly, Mary Hart, Bruce Springsteen and David Gest have also described Michael as being 6'+
Michael was a solid 5'9, but I wouldn't rule out 5'9.5 for him. He looks slightly above average height.

I think the reason he looked so tall was because of his thin, lanky build and long legs.

I'm a lifelong fan of MJ but I'm going to post the following pics just to show how he could have easily been under 5'9. I've been to this site frequently in the past so I understand some people won't even look at these and just continue to say "he was 5'10". One thing that posters below have been saying is how tall he looked. Long arms, long torso, huge hands and a perfectly proportioned (although incredibly skinny) body gave him that imposing figure when standing by himself.

Pay attention to the last two. It's generally accepted Eddie Murphy is around 5'9, MJ is in heavy boots with nearly 3 inches of extra height. He's eye level with Murphy, maybe a smudge taller than him. Murphy is obviously in regular dress shoes.

After watching some videos of him I am shocked that he is this low. He looks tall honestly. I will say there is no way he is Rob's height or under that. A few guys always seem to look taller than their listing though. MJ, Andrew Garfield, Peyton Manning, Charles Barkley, and I guess James May from Top Gear. Though for MJ and Garfield it is their slim build I guess. Not sure about the others they just look taller than they are.

I've seen footage of Michael Jackson on the day he was taken to court and got his mugshot taken. He was wearing flat loafers, no more than an inch. He was measured 5'11 with them on, that would make him 5'10 or near it minimum barefoot. He even claimed 5'10. His autopsy had him at 5ft 9, but also stated spine degeneration and arthritis which would have impacted on his height. Rob, what do you think?

He looked about 5 ft 10 in during his prime. Might have gone down to 5 ft 9 in in his last years due to the numerous health problems he had during his life. The 5 ft 11 in listing by the SBSO in 2003 was obviously his height in shoes.

Rob do you not think Michael lost height? In his older years he tended to wear 1 inch heeled boots so I have a feeling he may have been wearing them to make up a half inch/inch loss in height. To me he always looked like a weak 5'10, I'm surprised he is listed as 5'9 to be honest.

The Wiz was released in 1978 when MJ was 20. Here is a photo that includes he and Nipsy Russell, of game show fame, who played the Tin Man. Russell, who is also deceased, is listed some places at 5'9"!! In this photo he is on the left and is clearly taller than MJ who can't beat Diana Ross (who played Dorothy) in heels.

Michael did a lot of things to he's body (he even admited to having a dimple created in his chin) but as a huge fan that has watched nearly every picture or video of him i can assure you that he had no more than 2 or 3 nose jobs.i agree with you though that it's hard to believe that they wheren't for cosmetic reasons.
To me the real "weird" thing about MJ are he's kids wich are by no means halfcasts
Regarding he's height i saw him from about a 4 meters distance and i think he was around 1'77 cm,i didnt look at he's footwear tough

And for the record, I'm a huge fan of his, but I DO see things realistically. He was an incredible human being of immense talent and virtue, but was by no means without flaws. His extreme naivety, foolishness, and fundamentally warped concept of reality ultimately contributed greatly to his own downfall.
Of course there were other parties and factors to blame, but it's quite apparent that he himself had at least some part in just about every incident where he found himself a "victim".
I don't believe he committed any of the crimes he was accused of, but I also think he acted in such an irresponsible manner, leaving himself vulnerable to false allegations.
Of course that doesn't give anybody the right to try and take advantage of his ignorance and innocence by concocting made-up charges against him, but you'd have to be brain-dead to believe that Michael didn't have the means necessary to have prevented such a scenario from arising(at least for the 2nd time, in '03).
Not a criminal, but just lacking some serious common sense.
And the bit about only having two surgeries on his nose(AND for non-cosmetic purposes, to boot) was probably the biggest crock of BS I've ever heard. I felt almost insulted that he'd expect anyone to believe that...
So when I say he was 5'11", don't think I'm some deluded fan who thinks he was perfect and had zero faults.

Collins- That is impossible. Nobody would call a below-average-heighted man "surprisingly tall" upon meeting him, which is exactly what I hear from every other encounter where his vertical stature is mentioned.
He was a proper 5'11" man who could give off a 5'9" impression when stooped over, whether it be in pictures or in person.
You might even be taller than 6'3" and be underestimating your own height or possibly have been standing on a higher surface. Perhaps you even had a footwear advantage, because MJ almost always wore flat loafers in public.
Any way you look at it, Jackson was easily over 5'9".

I saw Michael in Nov/Dec of 83 when I was a teenager working at Disney in the underground tunnels, I got a chance to stand directly next to him. My striking memories were; How small he was, How huge his hands where & How soft and quiet he spoke/seemed. I am 6'3" there is NO WAY he was over 5'8 - 5'9" I have a picture from that moment with him (a cherished possesion) and I am chin & head above him. Also, I remember thinking then, the comments I had later heard him say: "He was thought of as an animal in a cage" cause I along with everyone else was looking at him as though he was some type of alien, and making comments about him as though he was not there. That would have to have been a sad life on God's earth! RIP Michael...

I think he's about 5'10. In his book Moonwalker he says something about him being a teenager and being nearly 5'10 so I think he was at least that. Just look on the HIStory tour, his shoes probably give him like an inch but he looks about 5'11.

A friend of mines seen Michael in 89." She was sitting with his family in the front row seats & he was a few feet away from her on stage. She stated to me that she was shocked at how tall he was in person. He did have 1 in boots on that day So my guess would be 5'10 barefoot at age 30. With the boots on he was probably 5'11". Michael was very thin so when others that have met him say he was small they mean in weight not height. Before his death at 50 years old he was probably 5'9" since men loose about an inch after 50. No way in hell was he below 5'9." In the way you make me feel video model 5'7" Tatiana is wearing 2-3" heels & Michael wearing loafers were about the same height, He had half an inch over her.

According to Michael Jackson's autopsy report he was 69 inches. That meant he was 5' 9" and this was his correct height.

5 ft 9.5 or 176cm to 177cm. Once he said that he messured himself when he was very young nearly 5 ft 10, but he was not a clear 5 ft 10. His driving licence from the mid 80s says 5 ft 9. ( just something over 5 ft 9 )5 ft 9.5 when he was 30, 5 ft 9 when he died at age of 50. Police had him at 5 ft 11. The Day the Police had him he wore 1,5 inch boots gives him a 5 ft 11 with his shoes in 2003. so just a 5.9.5 or 176cm to 177cm barefeet, 175cm when he died

5 ft 9.5 or 176cm to 177cm. Once he said that he messured himself when he was very young nearly 5 ft 10, but he was not a clear 5 ft 10. His driving licence from the mid 80s says 5 ft 9. ( just something over 5 ft 9 )5 ft 9.5 when he was 30, 5 ft 9 when he died at age of 50. Police had him at 5 ft 11. The Day the Police had him he wore 1,5 inch boots gives him a 5 ft 11 with his shoes in 2003. so just a 5.9.5 or 176cm to 177cm barefeet, 175cm when he died

I met Michael 3 times in 2 days during his second visit in Bucharest back in 1996 and the first time he was standing right in front of me, in the hotel hall, at 50 cm, for about 2 minutes. I am 174 cm and that day I didn't wear high heels (no more than 1 cm heels) so let's say I was 175. He was like 2-3 cm taller than me with no more than 1 cm heels too. I couldn't believe he was so tall. And so thin. And so white. And so childlike looking and acting. The second time he was in a theater (inside the famous, huge, ugly, grotesque Ceausescu's People's House) sitting at 2 rows distance in front of me and the last time I saw him it was the next day. He was sitting in his car while I was the last person allowed to enter and sit with him to talk for a while, right before he left to airport. I don't have any pics because at that time a camera wasn't something one can afford in our country. I hope it helps. I apologize for not knowing the measures in ft.

Rob, what do you think is the absolute minimum you can concoct an argument for with Michael's height?
I mean 5' 9" does appear to be a 'realistic median'. But I swear I have seen him appear as low as 5' 7" in various photos!

If Michael was 5'7, how come he looked 5'9/5'10 next to 6'0 Brooke Shields in the Off The Wall Era, when he wore LOAFERS? I'll compromise and say he was 5'8 at the shortest, barefoot and up to 5'11 with "heels".

Seeing Brooke was measured at 5'10" at the age of 14 and if this picture of the two of them is from the Off The Wall era (circa 1979), then Brooke was MAX 5'10" at that time and looks to be a good 2-3" on MJ.

Michael never had the best posture, but I disagree with a lot of the comments below. Michael was not 5' 9". He must be 5' 10". However, perhaps he is a little shorter considering that his shoes were usually elevated. I am a thirteen year old female and stand at 5 11.5 currently. I am still growing. I would think to be only an inch taller than Michael. Opinions?

I always thought he was 5'10" but the truth is folks he was 5'9.5"/136 pounds according to medical record--not the 5'11"/110-120 pounds claimed. That's probably why he claimed 5'10" b/c he WAS 5'10" in loafers! He had poor posture so this is why he looks shorter. The 5'11" height on his mugshot can easily be his height in heeled boots. He mostly wore loafers and he definitely towered Oprah during her special folks maybe she'd taken off her heels. He was barely taller (in boots) than barefoot Naomi Campbell in his music video In The Closet. She is 5'9.5" (same hgt as him). Also, he doesn't look that much shorter than 6ft Brooke except for when she has on heels. He didn't always wear heels either, loafers don't give much height and aren't lifts.

I have a strong belief that Michael was probably 5'8" without shoes (and probably in the morning). My exact educated guess is that Michael is/was 5'7.5", but most of us like to round up, don't we ;). I'm a costume designer and have a good eye for measuring people and clothing just by sight. I've been doing it for years, so I think my estimates from the pictures could be fairly accurate.
At the 1984 Grammys, it appears that Michael is wearing shoes that can't have less than a 1/2inch heel on them but even considering the angle of the camera don't look to be more than 1"; it doesn't appear that he wore insoles because the sides of his shoes appear very shallow and I think his heels would've continuously slipped out if his feet were propped up inside (impo).
In this photo of him and Brooke Shields at the event, she looks about 3.5 inches taller than him. Brooke appears to be in flats, however I can't find any photos of the back of her shoes, so I'm just going to assume she's in flats. (For the record, Brooke is 18 or 19 and Michael is 25 or 26, and by that age people are usually done growing.. upwards anyway).
Brooke has widely been publicized at 6', which I don't think any woman would say they were 6' unless they really were (most women would never want to be that tall). At age 14 she was measured at 5'10". I'm going to go with the shortest she's been reported to be, so we're going to say that she is 5'10".
Click Here
So now let's break down this photo. This is how I set my minimum height for him.
Even if Brooke was in flats, she would be at least 5'10. They are both standing at the same mark on the sidewalk and the camera is about eye level with Brooke; she is standing straight and Michael is standing slightly bent to hold Emanuel. Michael, in no more than a 1" heel, looks to be about 3.5" shorter than her. So doing the math (3.5" difference + 1" of shoe = 4.5" shorter than 5'10" flat-shoed Brooke), he can't be shorter than 5'6.5", and with his child-carrying posture, I'm going to grant him a half an inch, so I have him at 5'7" (and I'm not even taking into consideration that she might actually be 6' or wearing heels).
To get his maximum height, I used another photo from the same event, where he stands side by side with Quincy Jones who is reported to be 5'6"-5'6.5". I'm going to use the maximum height reported on Quincy to find my estimated maximum height for Michael.
Click Here
Now I've scoured the internet and cannot find a full-length photo of Quincy from that night, but I'm going to assume that he was wearing shoes no more than 1" tall, because I haven't seen him wear heels any higher in any other full-lenth photos from red-carpet events. I believe they are standing almost exactly in line with each other, by comparing the size of the two Grammys they are holding and the position of their shoulders. So, with Quincy's estimated maximum height being 5'7.5" with heels, Michael stands about 1/2" taller than him, side by side. The camera is at eye level with both of them. Michael is tilting his head down to the side slightly, so I give him another 1/2" since Quincy appears to be standing straight. (Why is Michael's posture so slouchy for a professional dancer... anyway back to where I was.) So I'm going with the 1" taller for Michael. So with my estimate of Quincy's height being 5'7.5" maximum on that night with shoes, and Michael standing 1" taller maximum (and we established already that Michael was wearing a maximum of 1" heels), we do the math. (1" difference - 1" of shoe = 0" taller than the 5'7.5" heeled Quincy, making my estimated maximum height for him 5'7.5"
So with all that said, I reaffirm my belief that Michael was not 5'11" or even 5'9", but actually 5'7.5" (maybe 5'8" on a good day). That's my professional opinion and I'm sticking to it.
I have a strong belief that Michael was probably 5'8" without shoes (and probably in the morning). My exact educated guess is that Michael is/was 5'7.5", but most of us like to round up, don't we ;).

So with my estimate of Quincy's height being 5'7.5" maximum on that night with shoes, and Michael standing 1" taller maximum (and we established already that Michael was wearing a maximum of 1" heels), we do the math. (1" difference - 1" of shoe = 0" taller than the 5'7.5" heeled Quincy, making my estimated maximum height for him 5'7.5"
So with all that said, I reaffirm my belief that Michael was not 5'11" or even 5'9", but actually 5'7.5" (maybe 5'8" on a good day). That's my professional opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Again, all words, no evidence. Each time he "looks" 5'11", we don't see his footwear. On the other hand, there are many pics of him and his shoes, being dwarfed by some celebrity.

Irma, please read well and know about this site before making foolish comments. Here, when somebody writes "weak" + any height, this person means that the real height of the subject tends to be less than that estimated figure. On the other side, "strong" + any height means that the real height of the subject tends to be more than that estimated. It doesn't have anything to do with a person being strong or weak for being any given height.

I don't see why people call 5'8 "weak" I've seen many stupid,hateful comments on this site,not to mention the absurd obsession with tallness or rejection towards shorter heights...are people who say 5'7 and 5'8 is weak are 6'3 or something are you? Ridiculous stop arguing about how tall MJ was he was a great artist and the idol of our era so please leave the man alone,I've been his fan for a long time also and I couldn't give a witches tit about his height.

Michael Jackson is 5' 8" (173 cm). That's what he looked next to verified 5' 10" Mike Tyson.
He could appear as high as 5' 10" (lifts) or as low as 5' 7" (slouching).

Hi Rob. Just out of curiosity, what was the maximum height Michael Jackson gave the impression of being (when wearing heels or elevator shoes for example)?
Just wondered if a celebrity as big as him was made to look a certain height by his PR etc...

I know I sound like a killjoy but this listing is incorrect. Baring in mind Michael Jackson's the biggest celebrity on here (if not, in the entire world), I find it illogical that a website attempting to pinpoint accurate height listings for celebrities should make such a basic error.
His maximum height was 5' 8". He was possibly as low as 5' 7".
Here's a photo of him with David Bowie, who was 5' 10" peak and you can see 2 inches difference between them:
Click Here
The question is whether Bowie was still at peak height when this was taken.
Compare Jackson to many true 5' 9"-5' 10" guys such as; Paul McCartney, Freddie Mercury, Prince Charles, Eddie Murphy etc... and you see that Jackson clearly falls short of 5' 9" and can appear as low as 5' 7". It really couldn't be more obvious!
Kurt Cobain's another one who's listed incorrectly (at 5' 9" funnily enough). He only ever claimed to be 5' 7" and looks it next to true 5' 9" guys.
I'm not knocking the editor by the way. He's constructed a great website with his passion, knowledge and welcoming tone. Nor am I a Jackson worshiper, nor am I trying to belittle him. I'm just a guy who's interested in accurate facts regarding my favourite celebrities. Now... time to move on to another celebrity, lol!
As Rob says, "Don't take height too seriously!"
Love and peace ;-)

Asera - I'm willing to admit he was closer to 5'7 than 5'9. Although I'm starting to think you have some kind of messed up hero worship with Jackson to the point you have convince yourself he was the same height as you..
By the way, I think it's kind of ignorant to assume a whole family is short by judging solely on the women and one male. Jermaine is an obvious 5'10 at the very least. Not very short, is he? Janet is about 5'3-5'4 which is pretty average. Joe Jackson looks like he could of peaked at about 5'10 as well. You take this height thing too serious. I mean I'm interested in celebrity heights, because a lot of them lie about it, and it's interesting. But come on dude.

It's just so hilariously innacurate and untrue when you think that in reality even in his 20's he even barely reached 5'7! Anyone can easily see he was clearly always much shorter than 5'9 if they only bother to look for the truth. It's just SO obvious it's ridiculous.I don't know...maybe they measured him wearing his 3 inch heeled boots or something! Or maybe they're just lying for some other reason. It's all very strange.

You can check the AR on "The smoking gun site". Case report say he was 69 inches tall. If I'm not wrong that's 5' 9". You can read it again on page 7.
Click Here
I also hear you loose some height after death (about 1 inch, not more), so 5' 9" - 5' 10" is about right (whichever fits your needs), he wasn't under it, because you do not grow after death, sorry.

Asera - He was 136 pounds when he died. This was confirmed by his autopsy that isn't to hard to find on the internet. He was also measured at about 5'8.
136 pounds?? You gotta be kidding me! Michael was MAYBE that weight in the late 70's.. Towards the end of his life he was a frail man (less than 110 pounds)...

I'm 5'7, hung out with Slash last January at a restaurant in LA. We were the same height. Both of us in flat shoes.

Michael has ONLY ever looked "tall" with people who are under 5'3
Like with Sheryl Crow who is only about 5'1 or 155-156 cm :

Elizabeth Taylor who was 5'2 max when she was YOUNGER! And here they're even BOTH wearing high heeled shoes :

With Janet who is also about 5'1 :

Unlike with these much shorter women, Michael was VERY close in height to 5'4-5'5 Diana Ross in We Are The World :

And everywhere else too :

and of course most importantly, he was 2 inches or about 5-6 cm smaller than the REAL 5'9 Eddie Murphy :

He was much closer in height to 5'6 - 167 cm George Lucas than 5'9 Eddie Murphy :

Michael was just about barely 5'7. This is a fact. He was near to 5'9 ONLY in high heeled boots. And no "offence" but it's SO obvious too. I really wonder about some peoples intelligence sometimes. It's time for everyone to wake up finally! 5'7 and only about 100 lbs...Just think about that for a second. This poor man had some serious eating disorders from a very young age. It's amazing he had so much energy for all that rehearsing, dancing and running around on stage!
Where the hell did he get all that energy from if he didn't eat or sleep much at all. Was it pure overpowering willpower or what.

Eddie Murphy is 5-9 and maybe some change max. Just like Rob has him on this site. Somebody explain how MJ is looking close to 2 inches shorter with MJ having a footwear advtange and Murphy wearing flat shoes.

alex: How tall are you?
And MJ did NOT have an eating disorder....he was naturally a lean, albeit healthy dancer who practiced and worked his ass off to perfect his remarkable moves.
And way to buy into that asinine tabloid "MJ anorexia" garbage, Danimal. I wish I could say I was surprised, but coming from you, I'm really not.
As a matter of fact, for someone who thinks Cruise is 5'6.75 because it was written in some random article, I really wouldn't expect anything less....

ASERA: Once again you manage to prove that you're a delusional kid with no proof to sustain what you say.
Just because Michael was skinny does not necesarly mean that he was anorexic. Some cases are different.
For instance I have 49 kg (108 pounds) and I eat like a ****ing cow 5 times/day and I'm still skinny without having a eating disorder. I eat but I just don't gain weight.So when you make such accusations you beter have evidence to sustain your words cause a skinny body does not necesarly mean in all situations an eating disorder.
So you can be at least wrong with the anorexic thing in Michael's case.
It's been widely documented that MJ had an eating disorder. He was scared to get fat. He thought he was ugly in the late 70's, so he decided to diet and it became an obsession of his throughout his adult life..
BTW, if you're only 108 pounds, you really NEED to go to a gym and take some serious weight gain powder...

mj is maybe wearing heels with Janet
but with Paul of course not
that was the THRILLER era he didn't wore any lifts in those era's
the one with slash is the dangerous tour , and he didn't wore any lifts when he's on tour , just the normal black shoes that students wear in schools
mj starting wearing lifts in the bad era , mostly in the invincible era

Asera those are some really interesting pictures. Particularly him with Reagan. That was in the 1980's when he was at his peak height, and when Reagan was a good bit shorter than 6'2 Vice-President Bush, making him no more than 6'. In those MJ does look 5'7". He also looks no taller than an age Frank Sinatra who was 5'7.5" peak.

Michael often LOOKED like he was closer to 5'9 simply because he very often wore shoes with 2-3 inch heels on them if you haven't noticed! Now that will easily make a 5'6-5'7 guy look like he's closer to average height or about 5'9. Barefoot he was only 169-170 cm at his tallest.
For dancers too much height can be a disadvantage. So Michael's height was ideal for a male dancer. The weight was apparently only about 99 lbs during early to mid 80's. So he was definitely,in my opinion at least, anorexic. I wouldn't call that a healthy weight for 5'7 in no way. He just wouldn't eat much at all and would rehearse and dance until he fell down from pure exhaustion!
Basically he was always naturally very small, slender and slight physically,but the obvious eating disorder made him look even thinner.

Eddie Murphy actually really IS 5'9...and Michael is clearly much shorter even though he has on shoes that give him a lot more height advantage over Eddie's much flatter shoes! Michael was at least 5-6 cm shorter than Eddie Murphy who actually really IS 5'9, or 175 cm!
Michael was only about 5'7 or 169-170 cm MAX in his 20's and that's IT! That's also exactly the way he looked with George Lucas too. NOT 5'9, not 5'8...but just about 5'7. Barely an inch taller than a well known 167 cm guy!
And if people STILL refuse to understand this very simple and obvious fact then there's nothing I can do about it. You just go ahead and believe in lies but I'd much rather stick to the TRUTH.

i too think that michael jackson was about 5'10 - 5'11
people who met him said he was pretty tall
i think i the history era he was in his best shape
he weight was alot in the history era like 75 - 78 kg
and even his height like 5'11
when he died he still was approximately 5'11"

Probably 5"9 before his death because he slouches a lot, I think he was a full 5"11 at his peak as he got older he shrunk an inch 'til he became 5"9 in his final years. He's a smooth dancin' brother if you ask me :D

As listed a few feet from me. In decent posture and his Bad Boots he can, er could have been rockin' 6 feet easy. Anybody who thinks he was under 5' 9" is being fooled.
