He was the same height as ben affleck in sums of all fear. Both a bit over 6'2

I love Morgan Freeman. I now know what the expression"tall drink of water"means.

The way I see it

Tanks Rob this Guy realy looked 189 up to not too long ago

In the past has appeared taller than "6'2"" Craig Ferguson, Ben Affleck and Jim Carrey. Interesting....

look at this with Ben Affleck
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Mar/15
6ft3 out of bed peak...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Mar/15
I think at peak he'd have been similar to Idris Elba.
Celebheights 6'1.5"-6'2" said on 26/Feb/15
I know that this will seem like a foolish question, but how was he only a few inches taller than Steve Carrell in Evan Almighty?
Lorne said on 25/Feb/15
Finally! This is perfect, a fraction over 6ft2 peak, a fraction under today.

I must say, however, you took so long doing it he may be 6ft1.5 by now! ;)

Seriously, though, thanks, you continue improving and expanding the site, although this one was a bit overdue.
Judd said on 13/Jan/15
For sure 6'1.75" for him today is the best guess!
Not sure about his peak height...he may have been 6'2.5"...
cole said on 13/Jan/15
@Editor Rob: Is there any reason why his picture shows up in the tumbnail but not on the actual page? It's the same with Bryan Cranston and a few others. A good current and peak height listing this.
Editor Rob
I did add a photo for him just now, some I'd done the thumb but forgot the main picture to upload.
Sam said on 9/Jan/15
Yeah, I met the man in the 1990s and he looked in the 6'2"-6'3" zone, had excellent posture.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Jan/15
The full 6ft2½ is a better fit. I won't argue with his current height. He does look that
Njp said on 6/Jan/15
Looks about 2.5 to 3 inches taller than Christian Bale
Mike said on 30/Dec/14
No less than this, and probably more likely to be a full 6ft 2.5.
6ft 2.25-2.5in 189 peak
6ft 1.5-1.75in 187 today
Mike said on 16/Dec/14
If he's not 6ft 2 today, he's pretty close to it. 6ft 1.5-1.75in today and 6ft 2.5in peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Dec/14
Comparisons w/h Connery are illogical because A) they're aren't photos of the two veteran actors together and B) Freeman is a good 7 years younger than Connery.

Rob, could Freeman be rounding down?
Editor Rob
he might have been a little over 6ft 2, I know at times he can pass for a 189 in the 80's and 90's
Mike said on 9/Dec/14
No photo for him Rob?
Editor Rob
I will later this month
pedriscovery said on 8/Dec/14
If you looks the film outbreak,have a scene with donald sutherland face to face,and sutherland hace almost two inches on freeman look this movie the diference of heigth is notable
Mike said on 6/Dec/14
In fact he actually gives a taller impression than 6ft 2 Sean Connery! He really needs an upgrade to a full 6ft 2.5 thats what he generally looked. He can even give 6ft 3 impressions. He looked the same height as 6ft 2.5 Affleck also.
cole said on 23/Nov/14
He should have a 6'2.25 or 6'2.5 peak height, he still looks 6'2 or at worst 6'1.75 today.
Arch Stanton said on 9/Nov/14
Rob can you add a photo and The Dark Knight Trilogy, Million Dollar Baby, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Bruce Almighty, and Deep Impact?

6 ft? Looks pretty near 6'2" in comparison still.
mike said on 6/Nov/14
Yeah Rob can you add a photo, add The Dark Knight trilogy and upgrade him to 6ft 2.5 peak?
Arch Stanton said on 2/Nov/14
Rob can you add a photo?

Watch The Dark Night Rises people. He looked 6'3" next to Bale, about an inch shorter than how Neeson looks in Begins and clearly taller than Michael Caine in comparison. Honestly I generally get a weak 6'3 impression of him in his films. But I don't think he looked it next to Tim Robbins who had him by about 3 inches.

Judd said on 13/Oct/14
Yeah, I watched a couple of his movies, recently and then I admitt he was taller than a flat 6'2" one.
Maybe he brushed 6'2.5" when he was young and today I wouldn't put him below 6'1.75"...
Although he got older he didn't lose a big amount...he's still a tall guy and great actor, too.

Danimal says on 1/Oct/14
At almost 80 years old, he's still taller than 6'2" (yes, he's 6'2") Craig Ferguson.
_____________

ferguson was 2 inches shorter than the rock a couple of years ago..
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Oct/14
He did look around 6ft3 in Se7en and Shawshank Redemption.

"Peak height was 6ft 2.5in (189cm)"

In his 20s-30s possibly 190cm even. Remember he was late to the party in terms of success
mike said on 1/Oct/14
Rob, when will you give Morgan 189 peak?
Danimal said on 1/Oct/14
At almost 80 years old, he's still taller than 6'2" (yes, he's 6'2") Craig Ferguson.

Danimal said on 1/Oct/14
There should really be a before and after height listing for Morgan. He's almost 80 years old (most men will have lost 2" by then) and he still looks like a strong 6'2" + guy (taller than Ben Affleck). In his younger days, was easily over 6'3". I used to read 6'3.5" and 6'4" for him when he was young. Legit tall man who has aged very well, but has lost height nonetheless.
mike said on 25/Sep/14
There's actually a chance he could've dipped to a flat 6ft 2 at night he could look sometimes a full 3 inches shorter than legit 6ft 5 actors, like Tim Robbins other times he could look 6ft 3 (or really close to it). so this listening is pretty accurate maybe a slight upgrade to 189 he's similar to Sean Connery both 6ft 2-2.5 peak.
judd said on 13/Sep/14
i read an article which said he was 6'2 and he always looked a full 6'2ish...
Dejavu said on 20/Aug/14
Looks the same height as 6'2.5 Ben Affleck in Sums of All Fears. 189cm peak is a possibility.
mike said on 19/Aug/14
Morgan Freeman's height 6ft 1.5in (187 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 2.25in (189 cm)

nothing under 188 in his prime.
James B said on 16/Aug/14
Taller than Clancy brown
Miiiiiiighty_- said on 17/Jul/14
I'd say he is 6'2 nowadays ( 188 cm ), maybe still 189 if he postures up.
Probably a strong 189 and maybe even 190cm in his prime.
He still looks considerably taller than Bale in the Batman series, and slightly taller than Michael Caine.
berta said on 15/Jul/14
i cant se morgan freeman be just 3 cm taller than a guy like harrison ford 30 years ago more lika 5 cm difference
Arch Stanton said on 13/Jul/14
Honestly, even now he still gives a 6 ft 3 impression in films. I find it hard to believe he was low as 6 ft 2 pealk. He doesn't look much shorter than Paul Bettany in Transcendence.
177cmGuy said on 9/Jul/14
Morgan Freeman was probably a strong 6'2 (189cm) at his peak today he is likeley a weak 6'2 (187cm).
cole said on 18/Jun/14
He's held up pretty well. About 6'1.75 today, can still look 6'2 at times, and 6'2.25 in his prime I'd say.
Dmeyer said on 3/Jun/14
Rob to me he looked taller than Affleck and near 4in on pitt nothing under 6'2.25-2.5 peak
mike said on 2/Jun/14
6ft 1.25 today
6ft 2 flat peak
d said on 30/Apr/14
rob do you think morgan hasn't lost any height at all?
Editor Rob
I think a fraction is quite probable, he could have passed for 189 20-25 years ago.
Banshee said on 3/Apr/14
People who think that all men shrink around 1 inch or more during the course of their life needs some biology classes.
Btw, Nikolaj Coster Waldau ( Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones ), also listed here at 6'1.5'', is undoubtedly towered by Freeman in all possible pictures by at least 5 cm.
Something is wrong here or Freeman is above 192 cm tall.
James B said on 20/Mar/14
6'2.5 peak
6'1.5 today
Hypado said on 15/Mar/14
188 looks right
James B said on 15/Mar/14
If bale is 6ft then I think in batman begins he looked 6'2-6'3 but then his hairstyle is very thick
pedriscovery said on 22/Jan/14
IN A FINAL SCENE IN THE FILM "OUTBREAK" DONALD SUTHERLAND IS CLEARY MORE TALL THAN MORGAN 4 OR 5 CM
berta said on 17/Jan/14
there is no way he was just 188 at peak even now in last vegas he looks 188-189. And peak was probably weak 190 ore stron 189. The dude looks 189 most of the time even now if he would stand well. If he was 188 at peak he was a very strong one and have grew to 188,6 at the age of 76 :P hahaa
Arch Stanton said on 2/Jan/14
Robbins did look about 3 inches taller in Shawshank though and if you also consider his 6'4.5" claim... Poitier was a leggy dude with a smallish torso in his prime, he had the legs of a 6'4"-6'5" guy I think but I'm not sure he looked taller than Freeman.
Arch Stanton said on 2/Jan/14
Rob the thing is I find it hard to believe he'd have been shorter at peak than Sidney Poitier. I've seen about five of Poitier's 60s films and honestly I don't think he'd have been taller than Freeman. Freeman to me looked more likely to be over the 6'2" mark than Poitier.
Arch Stanton said on 1/Jan/14
With 189cm Sidney Poitier: Click Here
Arch Stanton said on 1/Jan/14
Here's a front shot Click Here That's not even close to 3 inches surely?
Editor Rob
he's managed to maintain height well...maybe Robbins is approaching an age were his posture isn't as good as it used to be.

This is Morgan with a guy who is supposed to have had an early (i.e. not long after waking) measurement of 6ft 2 3/8ths.
Arch Stanton said on 1/Jan/14
Rob do you think he looks a bit taller than this here Click Here ?
Arch Stanton said on 1/Jan/14
If you consider that guys like Ryan Reynolds have the same height listing on here I think you're undercutting his peak height slightly Rob. I think at peak he'd never had dropped under this mark and I think 6'2.5" would be a fair listing.. I don't think he's lost much at all today even at 76, he honestly looked near 6'3" next to Kline in Last Vegas.
Lenad said on 1/Jan/14
188cm min peak
Arch Stanton said on 31/Dec/13
Actually looks 6 ft 3 in Last Vegas. Has easily 2 inches on Kevin Kline.
avi said on 30/Dec/13
Yeah 6'2.25 peak and 6'2 now he barely lost anything.
Lenad said on 15/Dec/13
187cm now 189cm peak. Or maybe 190cm peak and 188cm now.
dmeyer said on 12/Dec/13
Rob He was defenetly over 6'2 peak
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Dec/13
"Peak height was 6ft 2.5in (189cm)"

188cm peak seems a little low. In Street Smarts (his best performance, IMO) he looked only 1in under Steve Reeves. He was 51 at that point. Could he have been 6ft3?
pedriscovery said on 17/Nov/13
in "disclosure"he have a scene face to face with donald sutherland an looks cleary shorter than donald two inches.
jtm said on 5/Nov/13
he definitely looked more than 2 inches shorter than robbins to me.
Sam said on 4/Nov/13
Almost 15 years ago, that's the impression Freeman gave me in person as well, very strong 6'2", near 6'3".
brotha said on 2/Nov/13
I saw morgan about six years ago at a hotel I worked in. I'm 5'11.5" and I promis was 6'2.5" minimum. He was wearing freaking loafers too. Probably 6'3" peak at least.
Lenad said on 19/Oct/13
I don't think hes over 6'2 now. I doubt under it when younger though. He was still a good inch taller than Jim Carrey back in 2003
Emil said on 3/Oct/13
Nah, Freeman didn't look more than 2 inches shorter than Robbins to me
jtm said on 1/Oct/13
3 inches shorter than tim robbins in the shawshank redemption. a lot of people on robbins page are now claiming he is 6'4-6'4.5. that would mean freeman was 6'1 range at his prime but i think robbins is 6'5 and freeman's peak height was 6'2 flat.
Nenninn said on 25/Sep/13
agree with Lorne
Lorne said on 22/Sep/13
Morgan Freemans height is 6ft1.75/187cm. Peak height was 6ft2.25in/189cm
Rusty said on 5/Sep/13
I think a legit 6'2.5" is good for his peak but he is looking more a weak 6'2" these days.
Anon said on 30/Aug/13
6'2 seems right.
Lo sgozzatore said on 27/Aug/13
So you agree that Morgan is not looking over 184-185 in this pic (not saying he really is this low)?
Editor Rob
Morgan at times can look anywhere in 6ft 1-2 range last few years
Lo sgozzatore said on 26/Aug/13
Rob, what about this pic? Click Here
Freeman barely reaches Kobe's eyelevel. Once again Kobe looks taller than his 6'4.75 measurement, but then again he doesnt look taller than Michael Jordan, who could be slightly shorter than 6'5...
Editor Rob
he can appear taller in a lot of photos, 6ft 5.5 is what he can pull off looking at times. It helps that he doesn't have a low eyelevel and if he raises it slightly his eyelevel would be no more than 4 inches.
pedriscovery said on 23/Aug/13
in a movie "estallido" wiht donald shuterland an dustin hoffman morgan is 2" more short than donald sutherland if sutherland is 6"4 morgan is 6"2
cole said on 22/Aug/13
Maybe a current height vs peak height is in order for Mr. Freeman these days, Rob? He is 76 after all! Personally I'd say 6'2.25 (189 cm) peak, and 6'1.75 (187 cm) today.
DaveC said on 14/Aug/13
Always looked about 6'3" or 6'4" to me. Taller than Clint in both films
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jul/13
No way did this guy have 3in on Dan Aykroyd. 1-1.5in maybe.

I think 6"2" on the dot now. Has more height over Christian Bale than Michael Caine. 6"1.75"/187cm at worst today.

189cm peak for definite. Looked 6"3" in Seven with Brad Pitt
Larc 74in said on 8/Jul/13
He's lucky, he lost barely nothing at 76y.
He still looks about 6'2 today, although a weak 6'2, at peak he was for sure a strong one.
Connor 184cm said on 5/Jul/13
189cm peak for morgan rob?
Editor Rob
it's not improbable
Connor 184cm said on 1/Jul/13
Suprisingly morgan does still look like a genuine 6ft 2 man how has he not lost height yet rob? hes 76 years old i think.
Editor Rob
I think now he has lost a bit, he could have been a fraction over 6ft 2 and now a fraction under it.
Mr. R said on 28/Jun/13
This is right. I saw him at the Oblivion premiere.
cole said on 27/Jun/13
A genuine 189 cm man at peak, at 76 he's likely to have dropped 1 or 2 cm. With Craig Ferguson he looked roughly the same height, and in Lucky Number Slevin, he was wearing some kind of sandals, and was still a bit shorter than 189 cm barefoot Josh Hartnett. 187 cm today, 6'1.75.
Sam said on 26/Jun/13
I saw him in the late 1990s and Freeman had impeccable posture and NYC side walk advantage but managed to look close to 6'3" range to my 6'5" eyes (don't know if I was fully-grown then but pretty close). I think 6'2.5" would be a fair peak estimate for him. Bizarrely, I saw Paul Rudd (who was in the play Freeman and I were coming out of, The Last Night at Ballyhoo) moments later on the street and he looked, with a side walk disadvantage (closer to the road), around 5'8".
Silent d said on 23/Jun/13
He is still a tall man at his age. 187cm.
Man said on 18/Jun/13
I am not sure what video Danimal was watching, but Craig Ferguson is not taller than Freeman.
Terry said on 17/Jun/13
Very tall guy and top actor to boot.
Lorne said on 16/Jun/13
He was 6ft2.25 peak, no way a flat 6'2, dm is onto something. And I believe Sean Connery is the oldest living person w/out a peak, and ironically he was WITOUT a doubt 6ft2.25 peak, whereas there is a chance Freeman could have hit 6'2 flat at night.
Balrog said on 11/Jun/13
Damon wears lifts.
Sam said on 10/Jun/13
If you take a look at all the photos, you can see that Damon is at least 3 inches shorter than the aged Freeman and Eastwood. Both of those gentlemen still clear six feet, though not by a huge margin.

Has he really not lost height yet? Almost 76yo without a peak height listing, is he the oldest living person on the site with this distinction Rob?
Dmeyer said on 28/Apr/13
Rob i insist morgan was over 6 ft 2 peak as he looked 1cm taller than ben aflleck and 8cm taller than 183cm Bâle and That at 70s also aleast 9cm on Pitt , now hé might 6'1.75-6'2 but peak 6'2.5
Lenad said on 26/Apr/13
looks at most 3 inches shorter than tim robbins and I think 2.5 is more like it. still 6'2ish
Daniele said on 20/Apr/13
He looks the same of Quentin Tarantino. Here he is with Kobe (Click Here). Assuming Kobe is 6'4.75, and considering that Morgan Freeman barely reaches Kobe eyelevel (notice that Kobe isn't perfectly straight in this photo), I'd say he's 185cm at the best hypotesis. According to me 6'2 is way too generous. Maybe it's the photo, I dunno...
vtec said on 12/Apr/13

That's because Ben Affleck is more like 6'2 flats, Bale is indeed 6'0", IMO Freeman was 190cm tall peak and 188cm tall nowadays.
Lorne! said on 7/Apr/13
6ft2.25 peak , around 189 cm. still looked 6ft2 in his 60's, no way he didn't lose height! Around 189cm at peak, bet on it

I always thought he looked 6 ft 3. 6 ft 2 sounds right as well. By the way is 5 ft 8 tall or short in england.
Connor 183cm said on 6/Jan/13
Morgan freeman is still 6ft 2 he doesnt look like hes lost height at all christian bale looks 6ft as he claims could drop to 5ft 11.75 in the evening. Why i think people believe christian is shorter than micheal caine who is 6ft 1 is because maybe he wears high platform shoes that make him look taller perhaps that can fool a lot of people what do you think rob?

Well demyer next 6'2.5-6'3 Clint Eastwood in the 90s and 6'4 liam neeson he looked very close too 6'3.

Doubt this guy was shorter than 189cm peak.
Larc-186.7-188.6cm said on 9/Oct/12
Is 186-187 possible for him today, Rob? I saw The Dark Knight Rises, and he looked 3-4cm over 183 Bale.
Ajax said on 28/Sep/12
All though he did say 6'2", I think he could have been 6'2.5" when he was younger since sometimes when people are a height plus a half inch, they downplay the half inch.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Sep/12
Still looks 6ft2 in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with Christian Bale. Haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises yet. In 2012 it wouldn't be suprising of he's maybe 187cm. But I wouldn't go lower than that.

6ft2.5(189cm) peak, 6ft1.75(187cm)
zero said on 10/Sep/12
Bale is 6'0'' or close to it and almost same height that Michael Caine who is looking under 6'1'' these days.

Rob why haven't you added peak height for Freeman. He's 75 and he was a legit 6'2'' maybe more at his peak but right now looks under 6'2''.

Also some people must remember that in The Dark Knight Rises Bale was wearing a cane in some scenes next to Freeman.
Justin said on 30/Aug/12
In The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale and Michael Caine, who are both said to be 6'2" were the same height. Freeman was noticeably taller than both of them. He looked 6'4 in that film.

hollywood and all other film industries add 2 to 2 1/2 inches off height to all actors and actresses.
Rick said on 23/Jul/12
In recent photos during 'rises' red carpet events, he looks to be shorter than 6'2" jonathan nolan (chris nolan's younger brother. Morgan seems to be a strong 6'1" these days. 186cm also sounds right.
SIlent d said on 25/Jan/12

no matter how tall at peak. freeman is 6'0 nowadays.
supes78 said on 12/Jan/12
Freeman maybe 6ft 2 now but in his prime, I'd say he was 6ft. 2.5in easy. If you've seen his early film work, he was very tall looking.
steven said on 11/Jan/12
peak freeman look every bite tallish 6'1-6'2. nowadays he look as short as 5'11.5 to 6'0 max.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m said on 6/Jan/12
Pitt is a weak 5" 11, Freeman was likely a strong 6" 2 at peak, perhaps 189 cm. I think Freeman has lost 2 cm at 74 though and now stands 6" 1.5 (1.87 m).
maio said on 6/Jan/12
I'm sure he was a little over six-feet-two...I think 6 ft 2.25 in/189 cm during his youth.
Today i think he's in the 186-187 cm range...that's my guess, however 6 ft 1.5 in/187 it's my choice!
Shaun said on 28/Dec/11
I think he had about 4 inches on Brad Pitt in Seven...
Shaun said on 28/Dec/11
Freeman in his 20s in my opinion was somewhere near 190, surely at least 6'2.5". I think he hovering just under 6'2" today but still close to it.

6ft 1.5 now, 6ft 2.25 peak.

peak 6'2. today 6'1.25
LAN JIAO said on 18/Nov/11
i think morgan is 185-186cm stand straight up now and 6'0 stand alone with hunch. peak 6'2 he does't lost much height at 70plus of age now.
Silent d said on 11/Nov/11
He is an anomily. He is still freakishly tall. Jordan always looked short to me compared to other basketball players. He only looked 6 foot in the eighties. He probably grew a lot since then. They wear basketball shoes which gives them nearly two inch advantage. At least morgan freeman should be 187cm. Lan jiao no way he is 6'0.75. He is taller than craig ferguson and much taller than christian bale who i think is 182cm. If he has lost height. How tall was he in his prime? I heard that when you reach your seventies, you lose close to two inches. I want what he is having. He is ageless. 188cm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Nov/11
He's a hard guy to pin down. Can look anywhere from 6ft1 to 6ft3
LAN Jiao said on 2/Nov/11
DeJAVU, I never implied freeman 6'0 or lower. he can be at least 6'0.5 stand straight or taller he is 6'0.75 now i believe , but not a chance his over 185cm because next to both 194-195cm kobe and michael jordan he look a full 4in shorter. he lost a tad bit of posture nowadays and could easily look only 6'0 or under in picture don tell me you think his still 6'2 easily? impossible. unless kobe and jordan are really 6'6 i can shut..
Silent D said on 25/Oct/11
Never doubted it. He is six foot two. Craig ferguson is not 188cm as he claims. He's shorter than 188cm david letterman. Morgan freeman is an awesome actor and a freak of nature. He is still really tall today as he was 30 years ago. Clint eastwood and david letterman really age well height wise.
DejaVu said on 18/Oct/11
Freeman at 6'0 or under. I don't know what you are smoking LAN Jiao.
truthman said on 17/Oct/11
Really?
He looks even taller than 6'2 with decent posture and camera advantage

If freeman is 6'2 i did see 6'6.5 for kobe bryant.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 11/Oct/11
Omg, 6ft3 at peak james would make tim robbins at least a solid 6ft6! Stop upgrading everyone, please!
jake, 1.82 m said on 29/Sep/11
Ferguson might be 186 cm. Freeman is 187 cm today.
the shredder said on 26/Sep/11
Sure he is 6'3 , thats why he says 6'2 and looks 6'1.5 lol .
James said on 25/Sep/11
not sure about 6'3 (191cm) peak?
Larc 6 ft 1.75 in said on 25/Sep/11
Strangely 2 years ago, he still looked taller than Craig Ferguson (listed at 6'1.5) on his Late Show, maybe Ferguson is just 6'1.

188-189 peak
187 now
LAN Jiao said on 22/Sep/11
at peak he does look 6ft2. but i think he is 6ft1 today, can look under 6ft without straight posture.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Sep/11
6"3(191cm) at his peak.
jake, 1.82 m said on 17/Sep/11
6ft2-2.5in peak, 6ft1.75 now. He doesn't look as if he's lost much height.
James said on 12/Sep/11
i think theres a very good chance he was a shade over 6'2 in his 20's.
lan jiao said on 7/Sep/11
what i knew i saw few picture 6ft4.75 kobe bryant with freeman looks 4inch under kobe. maybe 6ft1 flat today. 6ft1.75-2 prime days?
James said on 6/Sep/11
he didn't look under 6'2 next too tim robbins recently.
the shredder said on 31/Aug/11
Rob , do you think 6'1.5 is possible ? He looked same height or a hair taller then 6'1 Costner in Robin Hood .
Editor Rob
today he might be dipping under 6ft 2, but I think 90's he always looked 6ft 2

187 now, strong 188 at peak! no more!

He still looks at least 187cm even today at 74y, he was for sure 189cm at his peak, don't know how but black people seems to lose less height with age.

The average man by 80 lose 2" in height. He's 100% lost height seeing he is in his mid 70's. 6'2" today and 6'3.5-6'4" peak.

Sam said on 10/Aug/11
Will, was Freeman's dwarf twin nice? I've seen Freeman in person and you saw somebody else.
Will said on 9/Aug/11
I happened to meet Freeman in 2005, I was 14 at the time and stood at 6'4 and Freeman was a good foot and a half shorter than I was so I would put his height at about 5'1
James said on 1/Aug/11
had 4.5 on 5'10 brad pitt in the 90's
thebad7 said on 1/Aug/11
My favorite role of his is Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris from MILLION DOLLAR BABY. I'm very glad he's been working with another legend in Clint Eastwood. As a young man, I think Freeman was an easy 6'3"--or 6'2 1/2" at the bare minimum. Today, I think he still hits 6'2" for most of the day. I saw him recently in pictures taken alongside Eastwood and Poitier. Poitier and Freeman both look about 6'2", and Eastwood looks about 6'1". Today, I think Freeman is 6'2".

Sam said on 28/Jul/11
I did see him in person in 90s and he did look pretty tall. Had impeccable posture and sidewalk advantage that gave him a 6'3"ish impression but he probably was a strong 6'2".
James said on 27/Jul/11
was shorter than clint eastwood in Unforgiven who was 6'3 or 6'3.5 at the time of that film.

maybe somewhere between 6'2-6'3 in his 20's and 30's?
James said on 25/Jul/11
6'2 (188cm) today
6'2.75 (190cm) peak
Sam said on 19/Jul/11
Rob, do you think he could have been over 6'2" at his peak? I suspect at one time he may have brushed 6'3" in the morning.
Editor Rob
it's possible he was 6ft 2.5 range yes, maybe he had been measured about 6ft 2 when he said his claim and hasn't lost that much height.
Mario said on 18/Jul/11
Could he have been 6 ft 3 when he was younger, and that the 6ft2 of 2008 was his current height at that time? Tim Robbin himself said he was about 6 ft 3.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 29/Jun/11
ok! he's 6ft2! but SERIOUSLY talking, in invictus where do you see ten cms difference between him and matt damon(admitting that damon is really 178 because in my opinion he could easily be 175)! in that movie, freeman is max 6 cms taller than him and also in photos of both! that would make morgan freeman max 6ft! which is the actual height he looked in comparison with 194 tim robbins (i mean in the shawshank redemption)... bah
James said on 27/Jun/11
Morgan Freeman is no less than 188cm today cause he was only 2.5 or so inches shorter than tim robbins recently.

Bale looks more 5'11ish too me.

I agree though in the batman films he looks a legit 6'2. Probably close too 6'3 in his 20's.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Jun/11
Not over 6ft2 today...but at peak he was for sure on his way to the 6ft3 mark.

I think 190cm peak or bare minimum 189cm
rafa said on 14/May/11
A bit over 6'2" peak , like 6'2.3" or 6'2.4". I think he looks about 6'1.5" these days. Whats your opnion Rob?
Andrea [ITA] said on 7/May/11
In shawshank redemption he looks minimum 8-9 cms shorter than tim robbins... So if robbins was 195 in that movie, he was no more than 186-187 at that time!
Robert said on 6/May/11
he looked noticeably taller than around 1,83 Christian Bale... he was definetely 1,90 in his prime, gotta be 1,88-1,89 now. Liam Neeson looked an inch taller and he is 1,93

Yeah Freemans tall but he still looked shorter than robbins.

Today 187cm is a possibibility

6ft2(188cm) today

Still a legitimately tall man
James said on 22/Mar/11
With robbins looks 4 inches shorter like 184cm. In the Shawshank Redemption as well he looked not over 6'2 with robbins. With Carrey looks nothing over 188cm.
Gus said on 2/Mar/11
At his peak,before any of us fisrt saw him say in the 60s-would have been 191cm out of bed,189cm at night...in the 90s 190cm>188cm at night...these days 187cm in the morning>185cm at night.
James said on 15/Feb/11
Andrea your forgetting that in the recent pic freeman is 187 or 188cm at best so that is what 6'1.75 looks next to a 6'4.5 guy since robbins is probably still around 194cm.

In the Shawshank Reeeman was around 189cm and robbins a solid 194cm.

A 2/2.5" difference is not towering, that is ridiculous. He is just noticerably taller, towering is when some1 is 5 inches taller than u.

I don't want to say hes not around 188, but in comparison with robbins he looks so short and i don't think that a 188 guy would look that way. Sorry for my english... But i would have sworn, by watching his movies, that he was just a bit taller than 180. For example in the film seven he looks just 5 cms taller than brad pitt who's like 178-179... Btw could you help me Find the height of an italian star?
Gus said on 16/Jan/11
Yer but Andrea,your picking one film out of Morgans 30 odd,id agree in that film he looks about 6"1.25 range,but on the whole he looks about 6"2.25 range...

6'2" is right for him.
ANDREA [ITA] said on 13/Jan/11
come guys. he's never been more than 6'1. You are crazy to say he's like 1.88-1.90! -.-
he's at least 10-12 cms shorter than 1.95 max Tim Robbins!
Try to find a picture where he doesn't look that short in comparison with him...

6"2.75 when he was younger 6"0.75 now,about 188cm in 90s and most of 00s up and till about 2005 where he went from 187-186 and now 185
James said on 10/Jan/11
nah i think 6'3 or a hair less when younger. he was NEVER 6'4.
5'7.37 said on 10/Jan/11
He can look near 6'3 nowadays when standing dead straight, maybe he was 6'3.5 at his peak, most people can't say it since he got famous when he was already kinda old. My guess is that Tim Robbins is 6'5 and Morgan is 6'2.5 but can look 6'1 since he slouches a lot, btw, Clint could have been 6'4 when younger, but due to his age an extremely bad posture he can look near 6'1 nowadays too.
Master of Rolls said on 9/Jan/11
claim how much shrinking he gets now but still u gota admit hes still tall for an old guy

I agree today there is a very good chance morgan is 6'1.75. (187cm) now in early 70's. In 20's 6'2.75 (190cm).

however last decade i think he was 6'2 (188cm).
Gus said on 3/Jan/11
maybe but,clint would have had half an inch on Freeman,right the way through to the 90s
elRey said on 31/Dec/10

hey. how can you say that he's so tall? i dont really understand you! in every picture with tim robbins he looks at least 4 inches shorter! if tim robbins is really only 194, it is not possible that freeman is 6foot2! judging from the pictures, id swear he's max 6 foot!

6'2.5 easily at 25
brotha said on 31/Oct/10
I posted a few years back I met him face to face at a San Diego Hilton. He was 6'2.5" easily. Hollywood uses many tricks, and many star wear lifts at public events to appear larger. That would explain other guys looking tall next to Freeman, at least logically speaking.
Lenad said on 28/Jun/09
2-3cm on Jim Carrey
Lenad said on 28/Jun/09
Freeman had at least 2cm on Jim Carrey who is 6ft1 at least. Conclusion: Freeman is not shorter than 6ft2
T.J. said on 21/Jun/09
Looked almost exactly the same height as Jim Carry in Bruce Almighty.
Jim barley looked a half inch shorter
Anonymous said on 15/Jun/09
I like your accuracy Lenad, with both Freeman and Carey.
Lenad said on 5/Jun/09
I think nowadays Freeman is 188-189cm and 189-190cm at peak. In Bruce Almighty I was convinced that Carrey is 185-186cm and Freeman is 188-189cm. Minimum of an inch difference so Freeman is 6'2 minimum
Lenad said on 28/May/09
I think a weak 6ft3 at peak.
Lenad said on 4/May/09
Big King your a blind man. Freeman had minimum of an inch on Carrey
Hugh 190cm said on 13/Apr/09
Yeah 6ft3 peak is very possible. Not quite that tall nowadays except for maybe after a good nights sleep.
Big King said on 27/Mar/09
Even 6'3" is an upgraded junk for Freeman. He was about 3 inches shorter than 6'5" Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption. And in Bruce Almighty, Freeman looked only a half inch taller than Jim Carrey who is 6'1.5" at his best. So the only result is that Freeman is a clear 6'2" guy.
_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ said on 9/Mar/09
You know I think this guy could still be 190cm. Next to guys like Dan Aykroyd and Jim Carrey (6ft1 and 6ft1.5-6ft2 respectively) He looks taller than 189cm. Like he has the frame of a 6ft4 guy. His posture is not good. Up straight he's a solid 190cm guy.
anonymous said on 9/Mar/09
Next to 5 foot 8 monica potter, 6 foot 2. 189cm with bad posture.
Ange said on 22/Feb/09
I watched Se7en and Morgan did seem to have Pitt beat by a few inches. For the record, having seen both Pitt and Clooney in person (in the early 90s) I am not under the delusion these are anything but dudes of average height rocking big boots and lifts.
nick said on 5/Feb/09
i would agree that freeman would be almost that guys height but not quite. If that man was 6'3 there would be no debate
Nate said on 3/Feb/09
hes doing some major slouching, Nick. Rob has him right.
nick said on 27/Jan/09
cb and aj are correct rob, hes around 6'1 mark
Click Here here is freeman with a 6'2 man, check the site it says it in his resume. I dont think he would be 6'3.5 and say he is 6'2. There are photos with kevin costner as well, makes him around 6 feet.
AJ said on 26/Jan/09
well no one shrinks 10cm though
TELLEM said on 25/Jan/09
i think they were saying his peak height was 6'3...the man has probably been past his peak since the late 80s.
cb said on 24/Jan/09
you got AJ, I've tried to explain that several times before. Even if the angle is not the best for judging height, even a child could do the maths. There is at least a difference of 10cm (4inches). So if Jordan is even taller than 6'5", that makes Morgan FReeman no taller than 6'2". Athletes are measured mor accurately than actors, who always exaggerate. I see Freeman more in the 6'1.25" range
brotha said on 23/Jan/09
Okay CB, fine, i'll stop with the 6'3" estimate, I mean jeez you are the greatest contributor to this site, right? I mean you get your estimates by looking at pictures and I've only seen the man up close and in person, gee I must be crazy for seeing Morgan at 6'3". Any by the way you guys need to take a closer look at the Jordan pic, it's completely in Mike's favor.
AJ said on 22/Jan/09
Everyone is saying he is 6'3 or 6'2 but MAN how can he be that tall if he looks just SMALL next to Michael Jordan who is like 6'5.

adam said on 21/Jan/09
Freeman could have been 6-3 peak. James Cromwell was and still is enormous as far as height goes. 6-7 or a shade under in his prime and nowadays still close to 6-6.
Hugh said on 19/Jan/09
My guess
Cromwell 198cm.
Freeman 189cm (maybe 191cm prime).
Affleck 189cm.
Scrieber 190cm.
Travolta 185-186cm.
cb said on 8/Jan/09
My personal guess:
Cromwell: still 6ft6
Freeman: 187-188cm no taller than 6ft2
Affleck: 185-186. (compare him to hartnett in Pearl harbor and his brother 5ft8)
Schreiber: 189cm.
Travolta: I know you're gonna throw the dogs on me, but i say no more than 181cm. Probably 5'11 max today.
cb said on 8/Jan/09
And here is one pic where travolta looks barely 5.11 next to Cromwell
Click Here

cb said on 8/Jan/09
Cromwell looked at least 12cm taller than Morgan Freeman. Freeman looked the same height as Liev Schreiber.
But there was no difference in height between Affleck and Freeman in the movie.But on one pic he looks taller than affleck.
cb said on 8/Jan/09
I just watched the sum of all fears, and i paid attention to affleck, schreiber, freeman, cromwell. Cromwell looked extremely huge in this movie. I guess he's probably taller than what is listed on this site. But if the listed height of him is correct, than we need to downgrade a few people.
cb said on 6/Jan/09
Besides James, I took a look at the pics with him and Jordan again. 2-2.5 inches are about 7cm, am I right. Well, how can you see only such a bit of a difference. Just take a look at Morgan Freeman's eyes. He's looking quite up to Jordan. I see at least a difference of 3.5 inches.
cb said on 6/Jan/09
well james, I know the pics and the fact that both are standing on a ramp. But just google the internet by typing in bale routh and take a look at the pics. There is one I cannot upload to this page, but the picture is setted during the MTV Poopcorn Awards 2006. Both are standing on stage (even floor) and Routh is giving the reward to Bale. You'll see there is at least a difference of 3in if not more.
cb said on 2/Jan/09
wellthan Hugh; just take a look at bale near Brandon Routh, you'll see that even 5'11" might be just good for bale.
