The 5´9 claims are rubbish. At the end of the 2014 NRL Grand Final he stood next to League great, Andrew Johns and had an inch on him. Johns is listed at 5´11 but I suspect his height has always been inflated by an inch. That puts Crowe at bang on 5´11.

"Russell Crowe height: 5ft 10.75in (180cm)"
He can generally appear from 5ft10 to 6ft. The full 5ft11 isn't impossible either

Many actors who claim they are 5-11 are usually much shorter. No one says they are 5-11 or 5-11 and a half. He is probably 5-9 or maybe 5-10. Just about all men upgrade their heights, just like most women downgrade their weight. Someone who says there are 6 foot are usually 5-11, 6-1 and they are usually 6 foot even. Its an exaggeration that is considered acceptable, after all its only a inch but in Crowe's case more like two, Crowe is an action star, most action stars are around 6 feet tall or a little higher.

In a sense Russell Crowe is the shortest man in films. When someone like Robert Downey is too short for the role he's playing, they just go the obvious tricks: elevator shoes, short co-stars, tricky camera angles, etc.
But when Crowe was cast in the quasi-historical 'Cinderella Man' they had to radically alter the plot and the actual history to accommodate their stumpy little star. The real Braddock was six two and a half. That's a fairly typical height for a heavyweight boxer. But Crowe is probably only about five seven. So they changed the plot around to make it a David versus Goliath story. In the movie Baer is supposed to be a killer giant at least 6'4" and nasty. He was portrayed as the only man big enough to tackle Primo Carnera.
In fact Baer was anything but a villain. He was a clown in the ring and he emphasized his Jewish heritage as a way to show his contempt for the Nazis. He was a prince of a fellow, although not much of a boxer. But the most important fact that the movie got wrong was that he was also 6'2.5".
Braddock and Baer were exactly the same size. Watch the fight films on YouTube - it's hard to tell them apart they are very, very similar in height and weight. Both also have lousy boxing skills. Baer telegraphs everything and lets his guard drop. Braddock throws looping rights like an amateur. Neither man was very skilled but Braddock trained harder. He was also braver. Braddock was hitting Baer with arthritic hands. The two men were a closely matched in height.
But Ron Howard the director was stuck with short Russell Crowe, so he had to turn a real event into a whole other storyline.
I've not - like some here - personally met Russell Crowe. It wouldn't matter much. At 6'4" I'm too tall to estimate the heights of guys who are 5'7" or so. Why do I think he's 5'7"? Because he is almost always the shortest man in the picture. Average American men are about 5'9". If he were really 5'10.5" he would typically be the biggest man in a scene - but he isn't. He's not crazy short like Al Pacino but he's definitely shorter than average. He looks about 5'7" to me, maybe 5'8".

A friend of mine audition for Master and Commander as did many of his sailing friends from the Santa Cruz, CA area. They were all in the 6ft range. They were all turned away and told since the star, Crowe, was only around 5'6" they had to find shorter sailors to make him look tall. Even in the scene from that movie where he's teaching the midshipmen(young kids) he's only slightly taller them.

His peak height was probably just about 5'11.5". But he received numerous injuries to his back and cartilage during the filming of Gladiator. Plus he is getting older, so I would say he is closer to 5'10.75"-5'11.25" these days.

I honestly think Russell is taller than everyone says on here. He slouches alot and has a bulky frame. Maybr he has lost some height with his frequent weight fluctuation but I think he is 5'11". 5'10 1/2" is the lowest I can buy.

He's not under 5'10" c'mon. I'm undecided if he was taller than Guy Pearce in LA Confidential, in some scenes he looked taller, in others Pearce looked taller, they looked pretty similar I think though. Crowe looks 5'10.5-5'11" to me. I could buy a full 5'11 but no more.

He's probably a bit sensitive about his height implying himself that he's nearly 6'0. That's rubbish he's around 5'10, camera angles and thick soles have helped him in film. Agreed he did look tall in gladiator but camera angles were on his side and plus he had 6'6 german bobybuilder to stand with and still retain his tough image.

Ludicrous. And Oliver Reed's stature looks to have declined by 2+ inches from his alleged peak. Crowe is certainly no taller than 5'11" and that's a fact.

Russell Crowe was one of the celebs who made me realize that the infinite nuances created by camera angles make it impossible to peg an actor's height
with precision while watching him in a film. Still photos are much better, but still perilously suspect where big egos pose together unless we know everyone's footwear secrets. A classic example is the ludicrous photo on the yacht where Brad Pitt makes Matt Damon and George Clooney take off their shoes. What mystified me at the time was that the "Brad Pitt is five-eleven" contingent saw
nothing suspicious about such a farcically obvious attempt to gain a height
boost. Russell Crowe, like Bruce Willis, is very tricky to judge, but neither
of them strike me after viewing numerous sources as nearly six feet tall. Why did Jerry Bruckheimer tell Crowe years ago at a pool party after he slipped out of his shoes "Put your shoes back on - you're blowing your image!" Would he have said such a thing to a man who was legitimately near 6'0"? Sometimes such anecdotes - if they are true - tell us more than a hundred photos with their
endless variations in perspective, and hence an endless capacity to deceive.

He describes himself as 5'11.5" I think that if he was lying he would just say 6' so I think 5'11.5" is correct.

In "Man with the Iron Fists", he looked shorter than Daniel Wu(Poison Dagger) who is listed as being 6 foot - 6 foot 1. For those who don't know what character Daniel Wu was, he was the one with long white hair and long white eyebrows.

He's taller than I would've guessed, he doesn't look that tall in some of his movies. But he is still one of my favorite Actors

He's probably 5'10". But he's buff which makes him look a larger man, especially paired with the lifts he often wears.

I think Russel Crowe might actually be his claimed height of 5'11 1/2 because next to 6'2.5 Craig Bierko in Cinderella man I do not see that much of a height difference between them. Especielly in the boxing sequences, I can hardly imagine them filming Crowe in high sneakers or something xD
If he's not 5'11 1/2 I would put him at a strong 5'11 not 5'10.5

Hi rob,
Just saw Russell Crowe in East Sydney...Walked right past him ( as you know im 185-186cm) ... he was in Nike Air runners which are pretty well cushioned...probably gave him over 1.25 inches...to my 0.75 inch work shoe sole...but he was any easily looking 5'11" plus... Ive seen him a few times before, and hes always seemed around that mark...so this listing is probably pretty fair. The claims of 5'8" are just stupid, hes genuinely a solidly built guy.

Could've have something in em. But if not he's def the height Rob lists and some change. He was also with Eli Roth and they were walking side by side and looked an inch taller then him.

I watched Crowe the other night in "The Next Three Days". It isn't a very good movie. Crowe is sadly out of shape now and possibly a little shorter too. He is now a pudgy middle aged man. He is usually one of the shorter men in the film frame. I would estimate that he is about 5'8", maybe less. The average American man is about 5'9" so you should expect that walking down the street the star wearing two inch lifts should look a bit taller than most men. Crowe looks shorter.

He's never looked tall to me, if he was 5'11 (and a half, as he says), I think he could get away with fudging 6'1 or so in shoes, but he certainly couldn't get away with it...obviously camera angles can show/conceal what they wish, but he has never looked like anything but average height to me, his pic with Christian Bale confirms it.

I suspect he's in the 5'10" range. In American Gangster he appeared to be about an inch shorter than Denzel Washington who's at minimum 6' and could be 6'1". So I suspect Crowe wore lifts in that film.

He is exactly the height of my son, who is 5'11". I shook his hand in Jacksonville, Florida a couple of years ago and at 5'9" the top of my head came to about his nose, the same as it does with my son. He was wearing sneakers at the time. He's also very good looking, with a charismatic, friendly presence.

In the photos RisingForce posted Crowe looks 5'11'' max and 5'10'' minimum. I think Rob has it right, or at least very close.
@ Daii
It's really hard to judge height by that photo because there is so much height disparity between the two, and because we can't see their posture or shoes.

Here is Russell with 6'5-6'6 bodybuilder Ralf Moeller with whom he acted with in Gladiator.

If both stood straight the top of Crowes head would be up to Moellers nose. So if Moeller is 6'6 that must make Russell around 180 / 182 cm (5'11 - 5'11.75) in dress shoes?

If both stood straight the top of Crowes head would be up to Moellers nose. So if Moeller is 6'6 that must make Russell around 180 / 182 cm (5'11 - 5'11.75) in dress shoes?

5'10" or a half inch taller is fine for Russell. He's about average caucasian male adult height. He is wide-bodied with a large head though so he gives the impression of a 6-footer. But I'd doubt he is even 5'11".

Poor Russ.
He is probably a bigger, built guy than many give him credit for. I suspect that any misconception of that is due to either being overshadowed by tall co-stars, or playing roles that called for a certain middle-aged sluggishness. Take a look at his most popular movies over the last decade or so:
LA Confidential: he looked tall. He had impeccable posture as Bud White, and shared the limelight with the average-sized Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce.
The Insider: only really had Al Pacino to play against, but the weight gain and sheepish character study didn't do him any favours.
Gladiator: up against the likes of Richard Harris, Djimon Honsou, Ralf Moeller. The female co-star, Connie Nielsen, was no shorty at 5'10".
Proof of Life: against the lean David Caruso and the huge David Morse. Again, the female co-star, Meg Ryan, was on the taller end of things at around 5'7".
A Beautiful Mind: the huge Paul Bettany and 5'7" Jennifer Connolly
Master & Commander: Bettany again
Cinderella Man: pwn3d by Craig Bierko
3.10 to Yuma: up against six foot Christian Bale
American Gangster: vs 6 foot+ Denzel Washington
Body of Lies: vs 5'11.5" Leonardo di Caprio, plus he was in middle-aged mode again
State of Play: up against 6'2"ish Ben Affleck.
And that's just off the top of my head...
A lot of criticism is aimed at Crowe's behaviour (rightly or wrongly), but I think one thing we can say for the man is that he isn't vain when it comes to his profession. He's not afraid to get fat, go grey, play schmucks, or be surrounded by tall co-starts. LA Confidential is probably the fairest film to judge him by, both given his posture and more of an ensemble cast to compare him with. Standing tall -- and in good shape -- he's 5'11", maybe a smidge under, but almost certainly nearer 6' than 5'10".

Looking at the photos of "State of Play" and Leo and Russell- I give Russell a strong 5'11". meaning Matt Damon is probably skimming 5'10". I'd say Leo is in the 6' range.

How can you class shoes that only give you an inch lifts? isn't the whole point to "lift" you, normal dress shoes practically do that anyway so i doubt he's using "inch" lifts lol

5'11.5" is certainly possible Glenn since DiCaprio could be 6 ft and with all of the slouching Bale, Crowe and DiCaprio do in pictures it's hard to pinpoint their exact heights. Crowe is certainly not under 5'10.5" and as Leung said not remotely short. I personally think hes's 5'10.5", maybe a weak 5'11".

I might get some laughs here,but I always thought this guy was well over 6 foot. I guess it has to do with his screen presence, which can make him appear that way. After seeing that photo with Affleck, (who is definitely in the 6 foot range), the height listed for him makes sense. Dicaprio also looks about an inch taller than him too.

I think Russell Crowe is between 5"10(1.78cm)and 5"11(1.81cm).It's difficult to differentiate between 1.78-1.81cms.He could be anywhere within that range. He might wear high lifts too. Who knows.

Finding pictures of Crowe and Bale standing relatively straight was pretty tough. So unless Leo is 6 foot or he has the best lifts in the world and unless Bale is closer to 6-1, then Crowe isn't a hair above 5'11" and he's likely a bit under.
5'10.5" or a weak 5'11". 5'10" flat is too short and his 5'11.5" claims are wishful thinking. That "5-11 1/2 and a bit" quote still makes me laugh because I'm not sure what that means. Does he mean 5'11.75", or is he trying to claim as close to 6 ft as possible?

Yeah Bam he claimed in 1997 "I'm 5-11 1/2 and a bit. In Australia, we call that a Collingwood Six-Footer"
His height varied a lot in the pictures with Bale and DiCaprio, actually his height varied a lot with Denzel as well. Crowe as well as Bale, DiCaprio and Denzel all have loose posture though so that may be why.

I agree with what you're saying Leung but this was the article I was referring to.

The article could be BS and I take that type of stuff with a grain of salt. Considering Crowe is a big movie star and has an image as a big tough guy, he'll always be the target of short rumors. Just like Sly and Arnold.
I agree Glenn on 5-11.5 morning, he seems like a pretty big guy. He doesn't force his posture either, in fact he slouches a lot. The fact that he slouches means he probably doesn't care enough about his height to wear lifts in public. Obviously movies are a different story as many actors wear them for specific parts such as Ray Liotta in that movie where he looked huge.

In almost all picture with well known celebrities he looks 5-10.5 to 5-11.5. Glenn saw him anywhere from 5-10 to 6-0. Leung said he looked 5-11 in person too.
So on average that'd mean 5-11, but I'm not sure about lifts. I've only seen him wearing somewhat suspicious shoes once or twice so even though I've heard he wears lifts, I'm not sure.
5-11 seems good but then why would a 5-11 man feel the need to lie about his height by half an inch? I could see a 5-10 or 5-10.5 man claiming 5-11.5 but it'd seem pointless for a 5-11 man to claim it. So I'd say either 5-10.5 or 5-11.5. 5-10 flat seems too short now that I think about it.

Russel Crowe is very difficult to give a height on, because his height seems to vary from 6ft - 5"9'. Next to DENZEL W: (listed 6ft. on this page)he looks the same height or even taller.
But next to Ben Foster (5"9')he looks the same height. Christian bale looks at least 5cm taller than him at the yuma premiere. But we know that bale is not the 6ft he claims.
Conclusion: Christian Bale, Russel Crowe wear lnifts sometimes. Baut Russel can't be taller than 5"10'.

Kind of hard to tell to the exact half inch there, Leo could stand a bit straighter. I agree that 5'11.5" does fit well there but I'm not sure that rules out 6 foot. Leo could be more like 5'11"-5'11.5" since Glenn said he saw him look 5'11" once. I think it's safe to say he's in the 5'11"-6'0" range, no shorter and no taller.
As far as Crowe well I've heard he wears lifts so maybe that's why he's difficult to estimate.

I looked at the picture again. The height between Crow and Denzel varies a lot. 5'10.5" is possible but it's also possible that DiCaprio is a full 6 foot.

This seems to be the best picture to judge the difference between Crowe and Denzel.

I'd say Crowe is 1.5" shorter actually, no more. Maybe Denzel and Crowe are both telling the truth. That'd fit Denzel's 6'1" figure and Crowe's 5'11.5" figure. If not then they seem to be exaggerating by about the same amount.

Yeah 5'11.5" is very possible but I've heard he wears lifts so who knows, have you ever seen him look about 6-1 Glenn?

On average he looks about 3" shorter than Denzel. I'd say he looks about 5'10" but maybe in lifts can look 6 ft.

Well I've seen Body of Lies (I got tickets to a special screening) already, and I can definitely say that Crowe looks about 1.5 inches shorter than DiCaprio, who is 5'11.

Russell Crowe looks like a very weak 5'10 to me, he really cant be 5'11. A genuine 5'11 guy would look tall on screen.

Saying that, he looks tall wearing jeans in American Gangster, and hes not much under 6'0-6'1 Denzel Washington, probably 5'11 or a bit under

Looked short at times in Gladiators compared to some of the other actors , but Gladiators had a tall cast i.e. Richard Harris ( 6' 1") , Djimon Hounsou ( 6'2" / 6'2.5) , Ralf Moeller ( 6' 6" bodybuilder). I'd say 5' 10.5 - 5' 11" is spot on for Russell.

In gladiator there is a scene where Richard Harris (6'1) is telling Russell that he will be his successor for the empire. Richard Harris being lanky looked at least 3 inches taller than him so perhaps he is 5'10?

seemed quite short in 'a beautiful mind',but did look fairly tall in '3:10 to yuma', so i guess 5'10-5'11 is true.
in the last scene of american gangster,he looks about an inch shorter than denzel washington,but the directors always try to keep the height of protagonists as similar as possible,but look closely at their shoes and you'd see that russell has much thicker soles.

That's the biggest nonsense ever. If he says he's 5'11 1/2" then he is so tall. He looked just 6 inches shorter than Kevin Durand in Wild Hogs.

I wonder if he uses 2.50 cm inches? Click Here (I know for a fact that metric units are in use in Australia, since my sister spent 10 months there) Or maybe this site was used as the source :-) Though I'd bet against that.

5'10 - 5'10.5" seems just about right. He put in a good showing against six feet David Strathairn in LA Confidential, without having to fight for it (like a Tom Cruise would have to). When it comes to comparisons with Pearce, and many other actors for that matter, keep in mind the misdirection of body proportions. Bale is a very lean individual, whereas Crowe is very stocky. Crowe is also an individual with pretty poor posture. Six feet is a little unrealistic, otherwise he would dominate in movies an awful lot more than he does.

By my considered account, Crowe is most definately taller than 5' 9", but certainly less than 6' 0".

If I am next to a person who is 175-177 then I'm 10cm taller and they feel short to me, that's all I mean. I know plenty of people who make me look short.

I have seen Crowe in person at a football game, struck me as very short but didn't get real close. I'd estimate 175-177 - same height as my brother.

He is much shorter than Bale. Bale is a 6 footer so we are not talking 5 11 or even 5 10. He may well be 5.9 Talk of 6ft is just plain daft given the photographic evidence. Bale would have to be 6 ft 3 and he clearly isn't.
