You're probably right Leung. It's just that he looks so much bigger in L.A Confidential, it's easy to overestimate.

I think Gladiator shoulders some of the responsibility for 5' 9" rumour circulation. Several of the gladiators with whom his character is aquainted are over 6, over 200 and over 44".

Whoa whats the deal with the ben foster pics? Ive heard even 5'8 for ben and crowe looks the same height as him in those pics.
Either foster had elevators or crowe forgot his. Any onther pics where we can see their shoes? Thoughts?

Hes not 5'9,But hes no 6footer either. hes either 5'10 or 5'11 max and 5'10.5 seems more or less correct I guess. Josh Brolin is 5'11.5 right,well he seemed an inch under him in american gangster,that premiere is a joke with crowe in either big boots or customized boots with lifts and washington always has relaxed posture and qurte a small heel.+ angles. He seemed 5'9.5-5'10 with bale,but hes taller thna that,but hes no 6ft,Hes not as tall as bale. His 5'11.5 that he claims,well i don't buy it,but he has no trouble looking it with help.

I know, guys, but how do you explain Crowe looking 2"+ shorter than Christian Bale in Yuma premiere pics? I bet he didn't want to be dwarfed by another six footer again (Denzel W in this case), so he had his shoes customized, if you what I mean. :)
Besides, he's no taller than his fellow Aussie Guy Pearce, who's a self-confessed 5'10".

Since Guy Pearce's definitive listing is 5'10" ("discussion closed!" - said Rob), I believe that Russell Crowe's height should also be rounded to 5'10". I've seen LA Confidential at least a million times, and the two Aussies seem to be exactly the same, at least in height (when it comes to weight Crowe beats Pearce by at least 2 stone).
And Crowe does look some 2 in. shorter than Batman.

yeah sure rane.and im brad pitt. Many times seen him in person ha. at least 5'11? well,check out christian bale next to crowe.Crowe has claimed 6ft and looks it always next to say 6'2-6'3 guys like hugh jackman and freeman.Crowe is 5'10 or maybe under I'd say.A 5'10.5 guy wouldnt look that much shorter than 6ft bale. Looked a bit taller than 5'9 foster.

Crowe seems 5'11'' to 5'11.5'' barefeet, as Glenn says. Anyway, I don't think he can be less than 5'11'', unless he slouches.

he is a weakish 5'10.5 he 178-179cm indeed is his barefoot height, 180+ in shoes, so when he said 5'11.5 he wasnt lying ,that would be his height in shoes lol
he doesnt look short, he does look bulky and his face is like melted cheese, but not short.
178-179cm is correct.

When I met him, I found him to be close to 5'10" (5'9.5-5'9.75") but not any bigger so I'd say 177cm would be on the money..I wish now I got a photo with him so I could shut the clowns up that think he is 5'11" ! He'd be 5'11"- 5'11.5" in dress shoes but barefoot 177cm (around 5'9.5"). I will acknowledge that I met him at night so the 177cm would be his 'evening hieght'.

Where do people come off with 5'9 for Crowe? He's just got wide shoulders and is broad. He might be close to 5'11.

Like I've said before 5'9.5" is what i thought he was when I met him here in Australia..the photos with Bale appear to reinforce my stance..he doesn't seem to where large shoes all the time but apparently expects people to buy into the idea that he's close to 6ft..I guess some people do..

He looks 5'11 in shoes. Never looks short or shortish (which 5'9"ers can, think Adam Sandler, Andy Garcia or Charlie Sheen). Russell is a legit 5'10" flat. Bale is 6ft and a bit (184?cm).

"I did get the impression of 5'9 after seeing Crowe in Gladiator, which he wore sandals throughout"
^ You know, I take back this comment. After watching Gladiator again, I noticed he didn't look 5 inches shorter than Djimon Hounsou. And Hounsou was in sandals, just like Russell. (I think everyone generally agrees Djimon Hounsou is a legit 6'2) A 5 inch difference would make Russell look like an infant, which he didn't.
They say it's 4 inches from the eyes to the top of the head. Based on that, I'd say Russell looked 4 inches shorter. No more than that. 5'10 flat seems more believable. I'd have a hard time believing a 5'9 man would claim 5'11.5, while a 5'10 guy with lifts can claim 6 feet easy.
Bale could be wearing lifts..never know. But Russell is 5'10.

crowe looks 3 inches under Bale and exactly same(check the top of the heads) as foster. So he is no more than 5'9,since he was wearing cowboy boots on that premiere,giving him another half an inch,so might be 5'8.5.But Bale is 6ft for sure,since if he was 5'11-5'11.5 then crowe would be 5'7.5-5'8 and he's not. Either that or Crowe is only 2 inches smaller at least as all the pics show. They seem to have similar postures as well.

Wow, Crowe looks so short next to Bale. Surprising. Definitely looks 5'9 or so. I did get the impression of 5'9 after seeing Crowe in Gladiator, which he wore sandals throughout. And the pics with Ben Foster just puts the nail in the coffin for any guys still selling Crowe as 5'11-6'0.
Because it's not just 1 picture, it's like 10 of them showing him look the same height as Foster and a lot shorter than bale. Maybe as Crowe got older he decided to ditch the lifts.

Wow. It's amazing how adamant people remain even in when presented with the latest evidence (ie 310 to Yuma pics). If RC is indeed 5'11" than Bale is at least 6'1" and we know that is NOT the case as we have seen Bale in the Batman film with Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Laim Neeson all towering over him. Bale is probably 5'11" and Crowe looks easily 2 inches shorter. He's 5'9 MAX.

I'm a little surprised at the difference, but Crowe definitely doesn't look "five eleven and a bit" there.
Also, at the premiere, Ben Foster looks taller, though he is no doubt aided by his proximity to the camera here:

Russell does give a shorter impression and so does Sly. I used to think that they are around 5'7''- 5'9''. Eventhough they really are around 5'9''- 5'11''.

He doesn't look like a lift wearer to me, from the very few photos I saw. And about people saying he's short... I'm 5'10 and people say I look between 5'6 and 5'8, never taller.
-Once, while I was complaining about something to a 5'9 guy (I was wondering how come he could do it and I couldn't), he said to me "because you're short".
-Another time a 5'4 girl told me I was about 4cm taller than her and definitely shorter then a 5'8 girlfriend of ours.
-Yet another time another 5'6 girl couldn't decide which one of us was taller.
And then they get very, very surprised when we measure up.
So don't believe people's impressions for big guys like Russell. Putting him back at 5'11 would be the very least.

I'm a big Crowe fan, and the more I see him the more he appears 5'11". He might be 181cm on a good day, but I seriously doubt he's below the 180cm mark.

Cowboy boots give anywhere from 1.75 inches all the way up to 4. The boots Crowe used to appear in were always of the highest kind between 3-4 inches. He has never looked that tall. Go watch him next to Leo in the Quick and the Dead.

melvin.what?? 5'11 person 6'2.5 in boots?

If he was 5ft 11 he would be 6ft 2.5 in cowboy boots. He has appeared at many events in cowboy boots and never touched six foot. He had cowboy boots on in The Quick and the Dead and he was still well below Leonardo DiCaprio. Dig out a copy of that movie and see for yourself. Even better rent Cinderalla Man and compare him to Giamatti who Glenn has met twice. In the boxing ring there was only an inch between Giamatti and Crowe. Giamatti's posture is the worst in the world.

I'll never believe he's 5ft 10 let alone 5ft 10.5. This man in cowboy boots can't reach 6ft. He's an inch taller than Paul Giamatti in Cinderella Man. He's much shorter than DiCaprio in The Quick and the Dead. His weight keeps going up too and his posture is not good at all.

this year in american gangster with 6ftmax washington and 6ftmax Bale.I will watch carefully how he changes his height in different movies.I bet in 3:10 to Yuma he'll be as tall as Bale but in gangster 1.5 in shorter than Washington.Didn't Washington say somewhere about his character in a movie that "he was 6'2 but I'm a bit under 6ft?".Crowe isn't 6ft ofcourse,never looked it. Hopefully these upcoming films will help decide.

During Master and Commander his weight was apparently 228lb.
The lightest Crowe has been in recent years is 180lb when he got into shape for Cinderella Man, and in that movie he looks drastically smaller than what he is usually. His usual weight does look to be 200 plus. Given that he beefed up for Master and Commander, 228lb does sound perfectly reasonable.

You´re probably right, 230 pounds is an exaggeration. Perhaps it was 230 with all that fansy captains gear on! But my point is: Crowe is a heavily built dude who can look shorter than a slim guy of the same height.

Hmmm ... I know what you mean, but I've seen Master and Commander (well, different parts of it) & can't see Crowe being that heavy and I'd be heavier than what you are. I don't know ...

Tom Cruise 203lbs? That´s just plain stupid. With Crowe it´s not stupid at all, assuming he truly is 179 cm that is. In Gladiator one could guess he was 190+ lbs and lean. In Master and Commander he´s not FAT but... fatter.
I believe people see someone in a film sporting a sixpack and swelling biceps and they think "Holy crap, that guy must be 200 pounds of pure muscle!" when in reality he is probably closer to 150 lbs. However if someone has a big back, big legs and a thick waist the scale will go up DRASTICALLY and you look shorter in pictures. I´m writing all this crap because i fall into the latter category and I sympathize. I´m 183cm/6ft and I´ve been told I look like... a square.

Just under 180 cm seems right. Another heavyweight who looks shorter because of his build. Read somewhere he weighed 230 lbs (105 kg) when he did "Master and Commander" and he wasn´t exactly fat in that one. Ofcourse he looks shorter!

Russel Crowe for me is 5'11 (180cm) flat.
maybe just maybe 5'10.5 these days since he's 40 now and all these action
movies might have lost 1 cm of something. always possible.
some people lose in the 30s some in their 60s, pretty random really but always a possibility.
but i think Russel is 180cm max and 179cm being the minimum but i vote 180cm.

Russell Crowe can't be over 5ft 9inches because DiCaprio was considerably taller in The Quick and the Dead. Then watch Cinderella Man and see Crowe never has more than an inch over Paul Giamati who has bad posture at 5ft 8in. Don't fall for Crowe's big footwear....he luvs the boots.

i have two friends who claim 5'11.5 without shoes, with a very stocky build, similar to Russel crowe. I found their claim laughable. I stood face to face and I (i'm 5'11.5) could not find any discernable height difference. Crowe is a hard one though. In american gangster both him and denzel washington(6ft) star. Maybe we can see if theres a discernable height difference.

Him with 5'7.5 Ridley Scott. Not a very good pic. as Ridley has a bad posture here. But Russell seems to be standing straight. I'd say Russell looks 5"10.5 here. Roughly a 3 inch difference. He's definitely not 6 feet.

Lots of guys with a solid build look shorter on film, especially if their legs and waist are not really lean. Michael Biehn & Russell Crowe were both taller in sand on the beach then they appear on film.

Crowe strikes me as a guy who's real barefoot height is around 5-8, and looks 5-10-5-11 in lifts. If hes really 5-10, then he might be the shortest looking 5-10 guy Ive ever seen physically. Shorter than Matt Damon even.

True, MJ, I believe he's a solid 181cm. I would argue for a full 5'11.5", but that may be pushing it. I'm not sure why he hasn't been upgraded to at least 5'11", as he's probably being sold short by about an inch.

I agree he normally gives the appearance of being shorter in film, but it's mostly due to his stocky build and the fact that he doesn't seem too concerned about his height (slouching). Watch him in Gladiator where he wears mere sandals quite a few times. Can't be any less than 5'10" or 5'10.5".

I'm feeling a little crowded in on Crowe, and so will assign him 5'10.5 on a tentative basis. I believe you, Glenn - this is the kind of thing you said on Stallone that made me raise his estimate. But I still want to do more research and will report back on my findings. Until then!

Yes the film it's very good, is their problem if some people try to see it as an historical film, wich it is not. It's a great epic film.
I wouldn't blame Crowe, he's bound to his role of rough guy. He should appear as imposing, add that to the fact that Hollywood imposes "per se" a height scale system.
To me he really looks in the 5'10" range, give or take a cm.

Also, for a star of his magnitude, there are very few photographs of Russell Crowe in the company of others whose heights are more or less agreed on - and this "comparison standard" is what we must use for our height estimates because
barefoot photos are so rare. Anyone out there have any photos of Russell Crowe?
I'd be happy to raise my height estimate for this gifted actor, but many scenes
in "Gladiator" make me think he's nowhere near 5'10". I want to try to keep my posts shorter, and will look at his "body indicators" in "Gladiator" later - some might find it interesting. I just read the script all the way through last
night - it is a masterpiece, and what a film Ridley Scott turned that script into! What outstanding performances! Crowe's and everyone else's were beyond praise, with virtuoso "sunset" performaces by Oliver Reed and Richard Harris. This is a writer's prejudice showing, but a great script brings out great performances every time almost without exception.

Horse,
Russell Crowe isn't 181 cm. Ridley Scott himself is around 5'7". So to him, 5'10 could easily be mistaken for six feet. Personally, I've never seen Crowe look really tall. My initial thought of him was about 5'9 1/2. But never have I seen him look 5'11.
And I haven't got the slightest clue as to Oscar De la Hoya's height.

That was June 2005, the same day (well, it happened at 3:00 AM ) he whacked the hotel front desk clerk with the phone. Russel walked right passed me, I am 5"10, and Russel looked exactley 5'9" and I noticed he had large sole sneaks on. He sat on a park bench and I walked over to talk with him, and he was actually extremely nice. Not hot headed at all. At least at the moment.

To the guy who said he looked short in Gladiator. I find that kinda funny..
In the director's commentary of the DVD, the director (Ridley Scott) said "Russell is 6'1 is he not?" The other guy said "I'm not sure". Then Ridley said "yeah, he's 6 feet".
Now I don't think he's 6 feet at all. He looked at least 3 inches shorter than
Djimon Hounsou (who's 6'2). But for the director of Gladiator to think he's 6'1 does say something. I think 5-10.5 is the right listing

His band has toured here (GC, Australia) afew times and he always has a drink at the bar with the guys before the show, which is where I had the chance to speak to him and ask for an autograph.

Mr Crowe may look 5.11 but I reckon he would only actually measure that wearing high heels...

Heath's a solid 6'1 and I see around 1.5" difference there between Heath and Crowe. At least give Crowe 180 or 181cm.

Usually looks 5'11 to me. If Glenn says he's always 5'10 - 6', then 5'11 must be right. Besides, he did look about 181cm in Gladiator. I guess the reasoning behind those who claim he's 5'10 and even the absurd 5'8 is due to the size of the rest of the cast in Gladiator (lots of very big guys). He also has about 4 inches on Meg Ryan who is likely somewhere around 5'7 - 5'8.

But then he was about the same height as Guy Pierce and Kevin Spacey. And neither are are 5'11".
I've met Strathairn and we were about the same height. Who knows? maybe I should claim to be 6' myself. The way celebs measure themselves it would probably justify me claiming to be that tall.
Last night I ventured out to the movies with my dear wife and noticed as we stood in a very long line that I was taller than most of the people in it.

oing by the movies I don't think he looks short to me. 5'10-5"11 is reasonable.
I don't recall the actress name in Gladiator with him. She is also in The Great Raid which I just saw on DVD. She seems quite tall too. She towers over most of the cast. Now in Gladiator, their characters in ancient Rome were wearing sandals not heels. Russell still had about an inch over her. So 5"11 seems a fair guess to me.

Didn't he live in a special room (low ceiling) because of preparing for his role of a tall cop in L.A. Confidential? I heard that on a TV show. But the question is what is tall. The one says 6'4 is tall, the other one says 5'11.

Editor Rob you got to remember that in many celebrity encounters the mind can play tricks ;=)
And the eye-levels can play even further tricks. One person lowering their gaze, the other raising the gaze can de-emphasise what the difference is...so I understand some people saying 'eye to eye' etc

He's a solid 5'10.5-5'11. His smaller appearance is due to his large head, neck and broad shoulders. Guys with larger features tend to look shorter than what they are. He's built like Sean Penn but a couple of inches taller.

I spoke to a trainer who works around him, im leaving him anonymous for now, and he claims russel is under 6ft but around the 5'11" mark that he claims, he sees him in training gear, so hes obviously not going to be in lifts, and ruled out the chance of him being 5'5" ( which i know personally is absurd and stupid) as he is 5'8.5". But to list between 5'10.5" and 5'11" is fair, as Im sure for premieres he would wear chunkier shoes to hit the 5'11.5" that he claims all the time. the trainer also said that Russel is a solid guy, and carrys some muscle and bulk on him , and is nowhere near a small man. He also appears on the footy show in Australia alots, and is not more then a couple inches shorter then players like gordon tallis , and interviewers mario fenech, who are like 187cm and around 183-184 odd cm respectively ( infact is really maybe one inch max smaller then fenech if that). So atm 5'10.5 is not that unfair, but anything under 5'10 is stupid, and inaccruate, so those claiming so, stop, because your way off.

Have any of you guys seeing the Australian film Romper Stomper, one of Crowes first films. There's a fairly long scene in it where he doesn't have shoes on and no camera tricks, tilts etc are used. I was surprised at how much smaller he seemed. I always had him at 5'11", but in this scene he looked about 5'9", however, I'm afraid to say no smaller than that. Check it.

Renee Zellwegger is about 5'3" (says she is 5'3 even tho she is listed at 5'4 here). In those pics she has decent heels on 3" or so while Crowe and Giamatti have similar shoes on that don't really look suspect.. 1" heel maybe.
Judging from where they are standing, and how they are standing, I'd venture to say Crowe is 5'10 even. Giamatti about 5'7 1/2"

Sean, this is the best pic I have seen of Russell Crowe. I met Giamatti last year, and he is about 5'5" tall - MUCH shorter than they say he is. Therefore, unless Giamatti is wearing lifts, this makes our "Cinderella Man" about 5'8" at best.

I think that everyone needs to leave Russell alone. He gets totally bad press for everything he does and this is even worse to diss his height. I think he is an amazing actor whether he is 5'8, 5'9 or 5'10. I don't think height is the end all be all. I've known a lot of men who thought that height would get them everywhere and it got them shown to the door.

I gotta find Russell and measure him = )Again I will comment on Gladiator. Everytime Russell is standing next to Richard Harris, Djimon Hounsou or Connie Nielsen the camera angles, sloping ground and shoes favour him. For instance when he is standing next to Richard Harris in the first battle scene the sloping ground gives him a huge advantage. While he is talking to Connie Nielsen before Marcus Aurelius(Richard Harris)is killed Russell looks at least one inch shorte than Nielsen who is wearing sandals??? In scenes with Honsou he is always standing either closer to the camera or the camera angles made so that the height difference wouldn't be so noticeable. Once he passes Honsou inside a building before their first fight and he is obviously more than 6 inhces shorter, 5 inch (12,7 cm) difference isn't still that huge, but in some scenes Honsou is towering over him...I think 5'9'' is reality for Russell...

Have you ever heard of Crowe wearing lifts? Well it's true. Apparently in one outing he went to, he took off his shoes, and inside them was lifts. He is 5ft 10 with lifts. Probably 5ft 8 without.
