Antonio is NOT wearing Lifts to appear taller. He is perfectly comfortable with his height, and so am I.

5'8.5" is a good listing. 5'8.75" doesn't seem impossible, he could look close to 5'9" in some of his earlier films. However, 5'7" feels far too low; he’s definitely at least 5'8.25" at a minimum.

a inch smaller that the Gary oldman"s 172cm in the Landromat" movie (where they wear same costum and shoes) , and an inch taller for the promotion show with Gary Oldman.
About 5'7 for banderas in real life and looks 5.8-5.9 for tv show.
It means he has got barely 4-5 cm heel for tv appearence show. U can also notice that for tv show, he always wear the sale shoes or boots with heels.

How can anyone go after a little ginger tomcat? This is what happens in the opening scene of ‘Puss In Boots’. Okay, so he is a bit of a vagabond, but even so…… 😡
The artwork in the ‘Shrek’ movies is quite stunning, and the humour is heavily disguised when it gets rude. 😂👌🏼
Wow - Puss’s friends are playing in a band now, one using a fish skeleton as a musical instrument! This is MAGIC!
The gato-loving Antonio gets 5ft8.5. 🐈😹🐈⬛

Antonio was never more than 5'8" flat without lifts or heels. Stallone was always clearly taller, even in 2014. Or look at Antonio and Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.

Rob have you seen the new photos of him and Tom Holland?Even with Tom in heeled boots and him in vans type sneakers he is still taller, he’s a strong 5’8 like you no doubt.

This scene shows a wide shot of a 67 year old Stallone and a 53 year old Banderas at 2:50: Click Here It's very clear Banderas is smaller than Stallone. I was surprised at how obvious the difference is.
Are we certain these shoes are normal and not small elevators? Click Here Click Here Because a 68 year old Stallone still seemed at least 1 cm taller than a 54 year old Banderas and his shoes appeared to be normal. Or certainly more normal than Antonio's shoes: Click Here Click Here
@Sinclair You are correct that Banderas definitely appeared smaller than Stallone in Assassins as well. Look at the scene at 9:25: Click Here Antonio has looser posture, but it's clear he's not as tall as Stallone. The scene at 6:25 shows a good shot of their footwear and I'd guess both were wearing elevator shoes.
Here's several shots of a 54 year old Banderas and a 52 year old Wesley Snipes, whom Rob lists at 5'9", but has also said is more likely a weak 5'9" range: Click Here Click Here Click Here Antonio clearly looks more 5'8" than 5'9" with Snipes and I'm not certain his shoes are normal there. At the very least, he seems to have a fraction thicker heel than Snipes. Earlier that day: Click Here
Antonio can look 5'9" in elevator shoes and heeled boots, or somewhere in the 5'8.5"-5'9" range, but I don't think he wore lifts in his early films and you could see he looked 5'8" max next to Tom Hanks and Armand Assante.

5'8" flat without the elevator shoes he's wearing in the pic above or the big heels he wears on other occasions. He was clearly shorter than a 67-68 year old Stallone on and off screen.

5’8.25” could be a safe guess. Definitely not much over 5’8”, I feel Sylvester Stallone had at least one inch on Banderas at the time of Assassins and Stallone couldn’t have been much over 5’9” at peak. Both men like to wear enhancing footwear, so I doubt one ever had a significant footwear advantage over the other.

Here's Antonio at age 55 with Edward James Olmos who was probably a flat 5'8" himself by near 70 having only been 5'8.5" a decade earlier with Rob: Click Here Notice they're almost identical in height and compare the angle of Antonio's dress shoes around the laces to what EJO is wearing. Speaking of the year Rob met EJO, here's Antonio looking shorter than him at that same year: Click Here Same height as ex-wife Melanie peak and probably now down to 172 cm range when he's not wearing the 2" type elevators such as the pic above or the thick heels he's worn many times over the years.

5'8" flat peak, no taller. He was always quite obviously shorter than Sly, who was a weak 5'9" or 5'8.75" range. This was still clearly true when Sly was 67-68 filming and promoting the Expendables 3. Then he was noticeably shorter than solid 5'9"-5'9.5" Armand Assante back in the early 90s again struggling with 5'8" with him, just as weak 6' or 182 cm Tom Hanks had a good 4" on him in Philadelphia. An aged 5'8.5" range Anthony Hopkins was also taller than him in The Mask of Zorro over 20 years ago. Just look at how short Hopkins looked with Brad Pitt around the same time in Meet Joe Black and I don't believe Pitt was even 5'11". Even if he was, Hopkins himself was not looking taller than 5'8" with him.
Also, Melanie Griffith had been listed 5'8.5" for years here before getting downgraded to 5'8". The same should be done for Banderas, who has always seemed about the same height as Griffith, but not taller. Banderas is very similar in height to Tom Cruise and I'd guess Cruise is/was 5'7.5", though even if he were a weak 5'8"/172 cm, Banderas did not really look taller: Click Here Cruise looks to be wearing elevator shoes to me, but Banderas is wearing cowboy boots himself. I'm going to give Antonio the benefit of the doubt and say he doesn't have an extra lift inside, but Banderas has worn obvious elevator shoes for years himself, such as the picture above.
Having just turned 60, I wouldn't guess him above 172 cm these days and I think 5'8" peak and 5'7.5" current is as good a guess as any.

🎁🎊🎈🎂 Happy 6️⃣0️⃣th Birthday 🎂🎈🎊🎁
A belated Happy Birthday to Antonio Banderas who turned 6️⃣0️⃣ on Monday, 10th August. One of my fave raves of his simply HAS to be his part as the talking ginger cat 🐱 in the 'Shrek' movies, and he proved so popular that he had a film all to himself; I love the opening scene where you see loads of differently coloured cats looking so, so humourous.😹 In fact, I feel like watching that very scene once I've finished 'Poltergeist II'.
Antonio's Birthday guess is 5ft8.5.😄👍

171-172 range, but I don't think that Banderas lie about their height, use lift( often not always) for fashion statement, not also. Comment that criticize man who wear lift are very provincial and stupid. I classified shoes in "nice and elegant shoes" and ridicolous shoes, as Rdj shoes or Berlusconi shoes, very bad

Antonio is DEFINITELY not wearing lifts in 'Interview With The Vampire'. He's walking along with Brad Pitt and you can see the 2.5"-3" difference between the two men. I guess he's at peace with his height - and so he should be; he's a striking looking man AND he voices Puss in the 'Shrek' films! 🐱👍

@ meezemaker, page cannot be found. In any case, he is an actor. He’s not a cheater. These people dye their hair, wear lifts, plastic surgeries, hair implants, wigs, fake teeth etc etc etc it’s part of the game. Remember John Wayne wig? He hated it. These people are obligued by contract to look a certain way. Most women wear heels too, make up and so and so....so with women it’s ok?
You think Pitt doesn’t wear lifts or elevators?
Antonio is the coolest guy possible, so down to earth. In some roles he doesn’t need to wear lifts and in some others he is obliged to look taller. The director has a word on this. Simple as that. When he is walking around in Málaga he’s not wearing any lifts, believe me.

Watch on the photo Banderas using his secret visible heel to appear taller than Oldman...who is supposed to be smaller if I follow celeb height data.
Whereas banderas appeared a bit smaller than oldman in the laudromat movie where both are dressed with the same costume..
Click Here
Height cheater ... Banderas. How many inch heel hidden in? MaKe a zoom on his shoes? SPECIALLY le front of the shoe, which got a Escarpin style allowing foot to be on heel. Very funny if you compare with the flat Oldman shoes.
Once again, 171cm max for banderas..

I can back Tellem on that. I recently watched Mask of Zorro for the first time in years and there are multiple scenes of Banderas and Hopkins face to face that show Hopkins taller by about an inch. I had previously assumed Hopkins had shrunk to no more than 5'8.5" by then due to Meet Joe Black, but either way, Antonio didn't look over 5'8" with him.

Your sarcastic remark about nobody checking it implies it's easy to find. I doubt he ever claimed 171 cm. That first pic is bad for judging height because not only are they walking, but they're also on the beach, which is probably the least solid, even ground. Nicole might be taller in heels if she weren't arching her back and bending her knees, but Antonio is definitely not wearing 3" shoes there. They look like smaller elevator shoes to me -- perhaps 2". Nobody doubts Antonio wears lifts either, but that doesn't make him 171 cm and we don't know how tall Nicole Kimpel is. The Trejo pic is taken outdoors so the ground could be uneven, Antonio is slouching and we don't know what shoes they're wearing. You can see Antonio looking down at Danny in other photos: Click Here Click Here We still can't see their shoes, but at least they're indoors. Also, I agree Antonio is not as tall as Statham, Snipes and Stallone. He's shorter than 174, but taller than 171. He's 172-173 range. His ex-wife Melanie Griffith is listed at 5'8" here and they were the same height. Notice she's an inch taller here with high heels around 3" and Antonio in heeled boots close to 2": Click Here

Editor RobIt's not so easy magically finding quotes. If anybody ever sees one (for any actor), do try saving/screengrabbing/photographing it. This site is a long-running resource, so it's useful adding them.
That's actually one of the reasons this site came into existence - from doing a few sites devoted to quotations, I was accumulating a lot, and saving the height ones to another file in the event they might come in handy one day on another site...

Here between two 174-175 guys with normal shoes apparence. In the middle, Antonio with big heel boots, same height the three. If he was same height as them , he should tower them. Strangely...still a bit shorter... How can u explain that??

174 is too high, imo, but 171 is too low. Banderas has always been a 5'8" guy and he actually doesn't look to have lost height now that I see him without lifts. He looked close to Edward James Olmos in 2015 even with less footwear: Click Here Click Here He surprisingly didn't look to have any lifts or extra heels: Click Here Olmos was 173-174 range at 60 so probably 172-173 by 68 meaning Banderas must still be 172-173 himself. Antonio has always been shorter than he looks on screen and people would expect, but he's not THAT short. Good proportions and elevators help him look a completely average 5'9"-5'10".

@Michael: Antonio could look a good height on screen by that point with his proportions dressed in black, but most importantly he regularly wore big heels and/or lifts by the time of Once Upon A Time in Mexico. But he looked much shorter early in his career, such as with a 6'0" max guy like Tom Hanks: Click Here You can see there that Antonio isn't anywhere close to 5'11" and looks more like 5'8". Incidentally, I agree 100% with downgrading Melanie Griffith to a flat 5'8" and she and Antonio always looked about the same height to me.

Rob, in Once upon a time in Mexico Antonio and Enrique Iglesias (6'1) appeared virtually the same height, maybe a 0.5 inch difference between, which is strange because according to their billed heights there is over a 4 inch difference which would be significantMy ...My guess is Antonia Banderas is 5 '11 (1.80) here is a pic for evidence Click Here

Editor RobWhen they are on flatter ground there is more difference between them, although he still managed to look over 5ft 9 with Enrique in the film, how big his heels were I can't remember, they look a decent cowboy heel.

@Lawrence. Definitely..looks like 2 inch heels and then another lift inside the shoe making the top of the shoes very high. Could be a 3-4 inch lift total.

He's clearly wearing thicker than normal footwear in the photo Rob provided and consistently seems weak average. I'm going to go with 171/172 range for him. 5'7 flat is too low though.

@Slim: Actually, Antonio was wearing thick heels and lifts before RDJ, but I get your point. I'm never sure when this guy is wearing normal shoes. He's definitely shorter than Statham, Sly and Snipes, all of whom are somewhere in the 174-175 cm range.

Antonio pulls off 174-175 range or a weak 5'9" with weak 5'11"(listed 5'10.75" here) Michael Fassbender:
Click Here
Click Here
More 5'9" in the 1st pic with better posture and more 5'8.5" in the 2nd while possibly at a camera disadvantage. But I believe Antonio has moderate elevator shoes -- the type that add 1.8"-2" over barefoot height. These might be better pics to judge whether or not he's wearing them: Click Here Click Here Click Here Whenever Antonio has roughly 2" elevators give or take such as with King Felipe where he wore the ones in the photo above, he seems to look roughly a weak 5'9". But if you look at Antonio's shoes at the Expendables 3 World Premiere in London from my post on 27/Jul/17, it looks possible he has the same type and he really only looked 5'8", maybe 5'8.25" then. Certainly, he doesn't look taller than 5'8"-5'8.25" again with weak 5'9" Wesley Snipes at Cannes: Click Here Especially since Snipes could be 174 himself so I must assume Banderas has had normal shoes on some of these occasions, but he's a guy I'm almost never certain has them.

I also haven't seen that film in many years now so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Anthony Hopkins taller than Banderas in it? I really don't think Hopkins was taller than 5'8" or maybe 5'8.5" by that time , but then Banderas did manage to pull off noticeably taller than Hopkins at the announcement for that film. Hopkins is one of the trickiest heights listed on this site.

Back around 1994 - apparently before Banderas started wearing lifts - 5'9" Andy Garcia looked at least an inch taller: Click Here
A dozen years later, Banderas had his black boots: Click Here
Btw, in that pic with Melanie Griffith, I have doubts she's any more than a flat 5'8" seeing her in heels with Andy Garcia, unless, Andy took the early career advice and got lifts!
Btw, seeing The Expendables 3 World premiere pics again: Click Here Click Here with the obvious exception of Lutz, Stallone looks the tallest at near 175 cm or maybe 5'8.75", then Statham, who is likely in the same 5'8.5"-5'8.75" range as Sly and Snipes and then Banderas looks closer to 5'8" than 5'9", but he's the only person there whose shoes I'm not certain are normal. I noticed the back seemed a bit more raised and then looked at other pics: Click Here Click Here Click Here It doesn't seem impossible he has a small elevator and if that's the case, he'd be under 5'8" barefoot.
Here's a scene with Sly and Antonio Banderas back in Assassins: Click Here A guy like Stallone who actually was 5'9" or close to it has been obviously physically larger and taller every time they've stood next to each other for 20 years, both on screen and off. So to the poster who said Banderas was 5'9" in the 90s and 5'8.25" now. He was never 5'9", as seen when he stands next to guys around 5'9" like Stallone and Andy Garcia in the mid 90s, but 5'8.25" is possible both peak and current, though I see him at a flat 5'8", possibly a guy like Rob who holds 5'8" at his low or a small amount over, but no taller.

Nah, 5'8.5" is really a stretch for Antonio in bare feet, just check out this video: Click Here
You can see Antonio clearly has about 1.7" heels and he's standing right between Wesley Snipes and Jason Statham, who we can both call weak 5'9" guys. Snipes clearly has 0.6" Converse and Statham's sneakers look roughly 0.7" to me. Even if you gave both Snipes and Statham a full 5'9" despite Rob listing Statham 5'8.75" then Banderas at 5'8.5" should look taller than both as he'd easily reach 5'10" with those boots, but you can see he looks no taller than either of them and if anything, a bit shorter. I think a flat 5'8" is most likely, but with good proportions, a slim build and his big footwear, he can fool a lot of people.

Never 5'9" without his heels or lifts. Otherwise, that would mean Sly Stallone and Armand Assante really were 5'10"-5'10.5" and Tom Hanks would have been about 6'1"! I see a possibility he was 5'8.5" peak, but no taller and I think it's likely he was always 5'8"-5'8.25".

Banderas was more than just an inch shorter than 5'9.5" Armand Assante in Mambo King. My guess is Banderas wasn't wearing lifts or bigger heels back in 1992, which also explains his shorter appearance in Philadelphia the following year.

David, I'm well aware of his heels and I've said I think he's 5'8" numerous times. He could look shorter than Anthony Hopkins at times in the Mask of Zorro and Hopkins was 174 cm max at that time. Agreed, Christian. I spotted that right away. They look like the ones he's wearing in the photo above as well. He really only looks about 175 cm wearing them too. Sometimes he just wears big heels, sometimes elevators, sometimes chunky platforms, but then other times he has big heels and lifts. You can tell with the black heeled boots he's worn over the years that are thicker all around. He measured up pretty well to Justin Timberlake in them, while other times, he doesn't look that tall wearing regular heels. That's a pretty good guess, Slim 181 cm. Very strong possibility, imo.

I think 5'8", maybe 5'8.25" is closer, but come on, under 5'7" is ridiculous. One photo where we only see them from the waist up, their shoes are unknown and they're outside potentially on uneven ground is not proof of his real height.

Even back in 1993, Banderas could look about 4 inches shorter than Tom Hanks, @ 59:25 here: Click Here And here's a still from one angle: Click Here
I'm not even sure Hanks was a full 6 feet. It's definitely possible he was always more 182 cm so Antonio if anything should have looked more 3" shorter than 4". I was thinking it was possible he had been 5'8.5" and was now 5'8"-5'8.25", but he doesn't look any different. He just started wearing huge lifts as his star power rose, but didn't have them back in his early career in a role that didn't require them and he's not really any taller with Hanks than a guy like Sinise.

Anyone know how tall Antonio's new girlfriend Nicole Kimpel is? She looked to be wearing some pretty large heels at Cannes, while Antonio closer to the camera with better posture could look 5-6 cm shorter and Antonio's shoes looked more inconspicuous than those thick monstrous black boots he's worn for years, but seemed to at least have a Cuban-type heel around the size Brad Pitt wears and possibly a lift.

I'd bet Antonio during his Hollywood career would claim either 5'9" or 5'10". Here are a few mentions of his height in newspapers I posted some years back, including a claim from 2001 that he started wearing lifts to match his taller leading ladies.
4/16/01 San Antonio Express-News: "Banderas stands around 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Antonio stands around 5 feet, 10 inches tall and couldn't get over how his leading lady towered above him when they met. Now he is wearing lifts in his shoes.
Daytona Beach News-Journal on 10/28/05: "In person, Banderas, who seems even taller than his reported 5 feet 9 inches,"
He might be more honest in an early career claim in metric, but I seriously doubt he'd ever say 171 cm because I don't see how he'd be that short.

He might be more honest in an early career claim in metric, but I seriously doubt he'd ever say 171 cm because I don't see how he'd be that short.

I'd wait for proof of a 171 cm claim by Banderas. I highly doubt it, but he's definitely not OVER 174, Sully. Stallone was probably 174 himself at the time of the Expendables 3 and consistently bigger and taller than Banderas no matter the shoes. The average guess 5'8.25" may be spot on for Banderas.

I could only buy 5'8.5" as a max peak height, but I actually don't think he's lost anything. He looks shorter in cowboy boots than Tom Cruise at the Interview With the Vampire premiere: Click Here Click Here Granted, Cruise looks to be wearing elevator shoes, which he did wear in the film and he has better posture and the advantage, but I do believe Banderas is only slightly taller barefoot and it doesn't look like he was standing any taller that night. This isn't the best angle pic either, but Melanie Griffith could have easily shrunk to 5'8" flat by age 55-56 yet Banderas in thick boots looks similar range to her in flats: Click Here Also, Banderas looks to have pretty good size footwear again, but looks about 1.5" shorter than 5'7" Jamie Lee Curtis who wouldn't be much more than 5'10" in heels: Click Here Rob said Banderas looks like a 5'8"-5'8.5" guy and I'd agree, but of course he'll look taller than he is because not only does he wear big heels, he wears elevator shoes and lifts as well, as you can see with these shoes that look like the same ones as the above photos: Click Here Then he walks around in footwear not always in a fashionable Spanish heel style, but simply with just a thick front and heel: Click Here Banderas reminds me a lot of Simon Cowell. I never would have thought either was only 5'8" since they just give a bigger impression and they even both wear big heels and extra long pants to cover them: Click Here It even looks like Banderas has gone up on one foot while wearing Brad Pitt style footwear: Click Here We can't see Melanie's shoes in that last picture, but she couldn't have been standing that tall using Eva Longoria as a reference since Eva isn't much over 5 feet. Even if Eva is about 5'4" in those heels, Banderas is only looking around 176 cm in pretty thick shoes since he doesn't have much more than 5" on her.

I don't remember how they looked in the movie, only that Banderas was taller at the premiere, but he probably had more footwear. If he was shorter than Hopkins by that point, it would certainly confirm Banderas at only 5'8" peak since Hopkins was no more than 174 cm by that point, possibly 173. 5'8" flat looks right early career during Philadelphia and Interview with the Vampire. He's certainly shotter than Stallone, Snipes and Statham by 2013-2014.

I don't doubt it, Rob, but of course he's a guy you always have to watch with footwear. I just think he has to be somewhat shorter barefoot than Sly, Statham and Snipes were in 2014 and all were certainly in the 174-175 cm range, but perhaps more 174. I could buy Banderas between that range barefoot at a strong 173 cm range or about 5'8.25" barefoot, basically your height and probably mine as well. Kellan Lutz certainly seems no less than 4" taller than Banderas, even when he's not going up on one foot. BTW, I'm surprised I've seen him doing that more than once!

It's possible he's hitting 5'10" there since he looks to be wearing elevators, but Wesley Snipes is certainly no more than 177 cm wearing Converse, yet looks about the same height as Banderas in heels: Click Here Kellan Lutz should hit about 187 cm in those boots and looks to have 4" on both. And Sly in 2014 was likely 177 cm in dress shoes as well and edged out Banderas in those same heels: Click Here Footwear: Click Here He looks similar to Snipes in Converse again as well. I have to say, Banderas' real height surprised me. In the 90's/early 2000s, I thought Banderas was 5'10" or 11"! In fact, I remember I tried convincing Rob he was a legit 5'9" when I first came to this site. Thankfully, he didn't listen! Of course Banderas probably doesn't have lifts with the heels so the elevators above probably give more height.

Rob, have you seen this scene from the Expendables 3? Click Here Full shot @ 2:49 and Banderas seems a good 2-3 inches shorter than Sly in their Expendables boots.

An article remarked that he looked 5'10", but only claims 5'9", though it wasn't a direct quote so you never know where they got that from. I'm sure he could look about 5'10" to some in those heels and elevators, but I'd guess no more than 5'8" at least today, although it's possible he was 5'8.5" when he was younger.

Shorter than Stallone at the other Expendable guys at the premiere and looked inches shorter than Sly in a wide shot in the Expendables 3, I know Sly probably had lifts, but even still. If Banderas was any taller than 5'8", I doubt he is today. Then again, he also looked short next to Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. His heels and elevator shoes along with good proportions are what make him look taller at times.

He was at least 1.5" shorter than Woody Harrelson in Play it to the bone. I remember before Hollywood, he did some work in Spain and I remember reading that he was 170 or 171. He has been able to fool everyone with his Cuban heels and lifts. He was always below 5'8".

I just re watched Mask of Zorro,and he looks at least an inch shorter than Anthony Hopkins(5'9) and Matt Letscher 6'0.5 ABSOLUTELY TOWERED HIM!!!
A guy just below 6'1 wouldn't tower a 5'9 guy like that maybe 5'7.

I handed him the guides for the events and he even said thank you, which I thought was cool. He is about 5'7" barefoot and with his boots easily 5'9".. He might even wear lifts who knows... but the fact is he is about average height with shoes...I also met and handed guides to Melanie Griffith who seamed taller in heels, J lo the tramp, Fernando vargas the boxer who is listed at 5'11' but is more in the 5'9" range...I guess everyone adds a couple inches to their height. If you can find the footage from the event I'm the guy at the door wearing the (Jordan retro 4 1999 Oreo shoes)... I was put at the door by the supervisors because they thought I was good/decent looking for the event. So I was in charge of saying hello to the guests and handing them a guidebook for the event.

@Sidorakfan "but 1,74 m a acceptable height for a Spanish/Portuguese man."
Is that not acceptable for a British or a German guy? As far as I'm concerned, the average height of most countries in Europe nowadays for men is 5'9''. I would avoid nationality as something that defines short stature. Spaniards left behind the topics of being short quite a while ago.

Funny you say that... considering that there are no beaches in Madrid.
Madrid is in the centre of Spain. The nearest beach is 300km or aprox. 180 miles away in Valencia, which is as any logical thinker would guess, on the coast of Spain. Not the centre.
172-173 for Banderas. Current listing is not unfair.

Good picture, Arch. That photo shows what the video I posted shows. Sly as tall as Gibbson, and clearly taller than Antonio. Personally, I had always thought Antonio to be 5'8.5"-5'9" and with footwear that made him look taller. Now, I believe Antonio could be 5'8" flat, but Sly 5'9"(his shoes look normal there) and Gibson 5-9ish.

In Ex 3 he looks 3 inches shorter than Stallone. Click Here Clearly looks noticeably shorter than Stallone. I honestly can't see them at the same height, proportionally Stallone looks bigger, regardless of footwear.

I saw him last year in málaga (Spain), and he was about 1cm taller than me, and Im a 5ft 8in (173cm) 18 years old. I think he could be 5ft 9in at the morning and near 5ft 8in at night, typical 174cm 5ft 8.5in man. He is not tall al all here in Spain, but his height is average for a 50/55 year old male in the south of Spain. Now the average of young people (18/20) is 5ft 10in (178cm) in the north and center of Spain and 5ft 9/9.5in (175/176cm)in the south and mediterranean coast.

Absolutely true Realist.A research made between 2006 and 2008 revealed the following results.
Average male height worldwide:168,1 World average height for Young males (20-30 years old):170,6.Young Europeans:177,6 (175,3 for all ages).Young Africans:169,9.Young Asians:168,8.Young Latin Americans:171,4.Young Americans:177,6.Young Spanish are listed at 175,0.However they have Indonesia at 163,0 so a 5'6 won't look a giant,just tallish (around 70 percentile).
I think Banderas would be a strong inch shorter than Sly so more likely a flat 5'8.

Kartal, you are forgetting Asia, that means the actual average of a mans height cannot be more than 171 plus, people in southern europe are slightly "below average" as we guys say, but in places like Indonesia a 5'6 man is considered a giant in front of 5'3 men, look at Ken Jeong he must be average from where he comes. The average in Europe is probably 5'9.

A Spaniard who's measured as being 172-173 cms might just round up to 175 cms the way an American who's 5'8.25 will round up to 5'9.

Fair enough. Let's call it an even 5'9 as the average height for a male spaniard, because if the average height is self-reported rather than measured we can assume the true average is perhaps a few centimeters below what's been given since many tend to round their height up.

Average of 172cm for spaniards was true in 1970.
An extensive survey in 2000 (Enkid study) gave 176cm as national average, 177cm for those in the university age.
By the time Banderas got famous in Spain in the eighties (he was in his thirties) the average was already 174cm.
As a kid I (I'm thirty now) i remember his looks as macho and somewhat tallish, he definately got the attention of females and I was decided to be like him when I grew up :)

174 cm is actually above average height for a Spanish man! Average male height in Spain is 171-172 cm.

What is average in your opinion?.. I dont get how 174cm is considered below average when it is only 1cm short of 175 which is universially considired to be the average height..

RisingForce your pics of Banderas with Timberlake and Diaz just proved to me that both of them are wearing lifts to look 6 feet tall next to 5'9 Diaz with heels. I say 5'9 because my girlfriend met her in sandals and she said she was AT LEAST 5'9. If anything my girl usually underestimates people's heights rather than overestimate so I believe her 5'9 claim for Diaz. Many other ppl who have met her claim 5'9 for her as well. Anyway Banderas is as listed and a frequent lift wearer and Timberlake is 5'10 MAX. Its obvious they both don't want Diaz to look taller than them on the red carpet! They are both wearing their best lifts.

I don't think Banderas looks particular short, I definitely don't see 5'7" range and 5'8" flat is possible, but a bit too low, imo. I think he's either 5'8 1/2" or 5'9". In his heels, he comes close to Justin Timberlake's height. Click Here Click Here
I think he can look fairly tall at times, though his shoes have a lot to do with that. I don't think he just wears heels either, I think he'll wear elevators and lifts. Here you can see a battle of the elevators with Sly. Click Here
But I'm not the only one who thinks Banderas appears taller, here's a quote from a Daytona Beach News-Journal on 10/28/05.
"In person, Banderas, who seems even taller than his reported 5 feet 9 inches,"
It seems that Banderas is listed at 5'9", which rules out anything taller, unless that article is once again confusing an I M D B listing with an actors' official listing, which is really why that site should just list actors at their official listings.
But here's a 5'10" listing and a claim that he wears lifts from a 4/16/01 San Antonio Express-News article.
"Banderas stands around 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Antonio stands around 5 feet, 10 inches tall and couldn't get over how his leading lady towered above him when they met. Now he is wearing lifts in his shoes.

That's the nearest match I can think of to how his mother looked but not quite as polished. You might remember her as the "Cigar girl" in the red leather jacket from World is not Enough who blew up the balloon. I think she's listed at 5'10 and half too.

An old friend of mine had a 5 ft 11 mother who was really hot, everybody in my school fancied her, she looked Spanish or Italian, long dark hair, olive skin and always used to wear tight faded denim jeans and barefeet with paint nail varnish nails and a nice tight white or black t shirt. I remember drinking around his house and flirting with her at 17 or 18!! You can imagine right? But it twigged to me that she actually in some bizarre way looks a bit facially like Banderas in the 90s! She could be his sister or something. The "smouldering" looks I guess you could all it LOL.

He is at leat 5'8.5.... probably accurate. Not very tall but not the obvious short like Hoffman, Cruise, Pacino, Radcliff,etc.
I'd place a bet that Banderas wouldn't be more than an inch taller than Tom Cruise if formally measured barefoot. In fact I reckon they'd be about the same height. Cruise doesn't belong to the 5'5"-5'6" dead short category maximus and is amusing that you think Cruise looks much shorter! Banderas is in my opinion somewhere around 5 ft 8, could be a smidge under like Cruise.

I agree that new genarations may be taller in spain but i don't think its indicated by a nation's athletic team because a most atheletes are heights that make them more competitve in their sport. An example being Olympic Gymnast Shawn Johnson at 4'9" or Yao Ming at 7'6". The countries national average would be a better denominator

Good citations guys (i.e. basketball and soccer Spanish national teams) to show the sudden spur of average height in new generations in Spain. From personal experience combining north, south, and central Spain, I estimate a 1.77 meters for generations between 25 and 18 years old.
Banderas at 1.74 is average height compared to new generations and probably above average for his generation.
As a side note, the Spanish were not known for short height in the historical record. The decrease in height was to malnutrition during General Franco's facist rule. Now, the new generations enjoy the strict Spanish FDA regulations on food preservatives (very few are allowed and genetically altered foods require a label), and also the relative cheap prices on foods.

En, the average height of Spanish new generations is taller than old ones, We can draw this conclusion from the Spanish basketball and volleyball in recently years.
I know that there are more than 100 guys are over 203cm in the lowest level basketball league in Spain.Don't mention that the higher level of the league, the more the number of giant. I think the average height of the new generation who was born after 1900 is 176cm,which is not exaggeration, in Spain.

Ridiculous. I saw him in person. Walked right by me. I am 5'4" and I was most definitely looking up. My boyfriend at the time was 5'8" and Antonio was taller than him as well. He was wearing cowboy boots, so I would say with the books he was atleast 6", so I am guessing his true height is around 5'9" - 5'10"ish.

Proof that Banderas is MUCH shorter than reported here: Watch "Once Upon a Time In Mexico". Stop frame when there is a wide shot of Salma Hayek (5' maybe!)facing Banderas. You can cleary see she is wearing at least 3" heels, with a platform ,which makes them taller. Banderas, who is wearing the typical thick boots he sports in nearly ALL his films, has major heels, thick soles, yet, he is barely taller than Hayek. I would guess he's no more than 5'3" without those boots.
I remember you used to post here a few years ago, claiming Banderas was only 5'6" tops. Now you say he's 5'3"?? Banderas is nothing under 5'9", no matter what way you look at it. Stop kidding yourself.

Antonia is tiny. There's a scene in "Never Talk To Strangers" where he's in the shower, barefoot. He walks out, and Rebecca DeMorney walks up to him. She's wearing street shoes, and is clearly around 2" taller than he is in that scene. Without the shoes, she'd still be a hair taller. So, how tall is she?

To Bon and other: It's true: the average height in USA is 165 because that measured Woody Allen. Ignorant!. In 1500 Spain was a power vastly greater than it is America today. The soldiers were fed in abundance providing America. They were by far much higher than the rest of the other Europeans. In 1936 the war brought famine for decades. So in Spain is a big difference in height between generations. Do not offend with your ignorance, please.

Well, the dictatorship may be a good explanation for unreaching genetic potential, but i still find it hard to believe that any generation in Spain could have anything over 175 as average. One guy from Croatia who visited Spain said that people there struck him as 'extremely short',although he is 6'6 - 6'7, and whatever that means it doesn't sound like 5'10 to me.
I could buy 176 cm for men aged 18-40 MAXIMUM.

Spain had a dictatorship that lasted for 40 years. Most people didn't have enough food to eat for around 2 decades. After the 60s, with the economic boom in Spain, Spaniards started to consume milk and other dairy products on a general basis. It is normal, due to this change, the Spaniards of the new generations are much taller (5-7 cm.) than what their parents were at the same age. Americans, Dutch and other Caucasians didn't suffer this lack of basic products and it is normal that the generational change hasn't been as big as in Spain in height terms.

'I said it, he looks a bit shorter than Hopkings in The Mask of the Zorro "La mascara del Zorro" in spanish. I give him 1,71/72m. Under average but in my opinion in many countries a man of 1,70m can´t be really short.' Agreed. But still, 174 is a fair listing, due to how tall some celebs are listed here, when they're obviously not. If Cruise can be 172 instead of 170, than Banderas can easily be even 175. 5ft8 barefoot is my estimate. Short guy, but not rly short.

Under average but in my opinion in many countries a man of 1,70m can´t be really short. Remenber that people many times add cm to his height. I have friends about 1,82/3 that claim be 1,90. My father say that he is 1,69 but i´m sure that he is more 1,64/65. My uncle say that he is 1,76 but he is shorter than me (1,74) but in never say nothing (obiously). Average height in Spain for young gen must be 1,77 + or -. I´m 21 and i can garranted you. With my real 1,74 i must be shoter than the 60% of young men and taller than 40%. With this numbers i think that i´m average althought i´m a bit below. And think that only 3 cm is no much diference betwen two persons but in percentile can be the diferen of 50 to 60. Ex: 1,77 perc 50 and 1,80 is perc 62 (taller than 62% and shorter than 38%).

Antonio is 5'9". He doesn't have the proportions of a 5'9" guy and he usually looks atleast that height. In some pictures he looked close to Justin Timberlake's height. That was when he was wearing big heels, but a 5'8" guy couldn't pull that off.

Anything under 5'9" in Spain is on the short shide.
The national avg is 176cm, but for young people it's 177cm-178cm (universitarians age range). That's what science says.
Banderas is 5'9", that was an average height for his time (indeed even slightly taller than average) but many things have changed since 80's. Spain wealth indicators were still recovering from post war recesion, so no surprise.

Hi all
Interesting seeing all the speculation. Been lucky enough to meet or at least see several up close. Would vouch for Nick Cage at 5-10, but I'm 5 10.5 and Sly is shorter than me. Swarzenegger is under six feet, looked him right in the eye. Burt Reynolds seemed 6ft, shook hands with him but it was quick. U guys should read William Goldman's "More Adventures in the Screen Trade" He waited at a pool in Beverly Hills for Sly to get out from swimming since no way he could wear lifts then. Goldman claims he's 5'7 and having taken a directing class with him years ago would agree. Just my 2 cents.

For sure Banderas is at 5'8"- 5'9" range, no way only at 5'6" range as was argued some time ago. Hello Brian, everything's right? we are back home since 04/2008, God is great and give my family a new chance, a rebirth for my son. Facing death so close of us is a chance to learn the worth of life and change our priorities. I've read Anticancer, written by David Servan-Schreiber, a french doctor that had a brain tumor and found out the definitive healing only after changing old habits, like fooding, sedentarism and way of facing the life. I think the needing of these changes should be advertised by all oncologists, but it usually don't happen. Brian, Bandera's outfits you got can give us some idea of his height?
For sure Banderas is at 5'8"- 5'9" range, no way only at 5'6" range as was argued some time ago. Hello Brian, everything's right? we are back home since 04/2008, God is great and give my family a new chance, a rebirth for my son.

While discussing what race is tallest, ya'll forgot who's coolest. Pacino-Italian, Banderas-Spanish, Deniro-half Italian, Bardem-Spanish. Godfather, Goodfellas, Bronx tale, Desperado... The list goes on. Can't remember last time I heard a conversation about who the coolest Nordic movie star is, can you?

The only evidence so far places Jackie at 5'6". Sly is probably atleast 5'10".

Jackie Stallone is 5' 4", Sly is 5' 8.5". Antonio wears ridiculous heeled boots but then again from where he comes from, these are common.
