Arnold in an early lineup barefoot with a bunch of other bodybuilders from the golden era. Next to him is 6'0" Dave Draper, in the middle is 6'0" Ric Drasin, and the far side is 6'0" Ken Waller. Just measure from the top of the their heads to the top of the border. Arnold was easily 6'1.5"-6'1.75" at that time of his life. Remember, they are all barefoot.

To be honest I think we've done fairly well on the subject of Arnold overall, on this page. Most of us agree on 6 to 6'1 peak, and around about 5'11 now (either just under or just over). As far as we can be certain, we've pretty much got him pinned down.
Barry Fl said on 28/Mar/18
From what I remember, Arnold wasn’t happy about the Vince Basille measurement, as he was insistent that he was 6’2. When the measurement came out lower he asked to be measured again, stretched and strained and stood up as straight as possible – and the measurement was exactly the same – 6’1.5. I think if Vince’s stadiometer was incorrect then Arnold would have been more than happy with the result. The fact that he wasn’t, and demanded to be measured again, is worth keeping in mind.
Jim Hopper said on 27/Mar/18
If he WAS an approx 6-2 peak barefoot guy he would of looked 6-3 to 6-4 in the Terminator films wearing biker books which give you a height boost from 1" to 2" inches. {my boots give me well over an inch increase}. So its not rocket science to say he was never ever looking 6-3 6-4" in any films!!!!!!! Ever!!! So the truth is he was 6-0.5" peak and looked {6-2" in boots} in Terminator etc. Sorry fanboys Today looks 5-11" max

Solid 6ft1 for peak Arnold.Today he is just below 5ft11.
Barry Fl said on 27/Mar/18
You really think nobody would have noticed Arnold standing on tiptoe as he was having his height measured?

Richardhero said on 26/Mar/18
This is the truth: Young Arnie was a solid 184(6'0.5) and maybe could cheat to hit the "famous" 6'1.5 measured from Vince Basille ,standing very tall stretching his neck and elevating his toe hidden on the floor nobody would see that down there.
EthanCouch said on 26/Mar/18
Probably around 5’10 even Rob.
Richardhero said on 26/Mar/18
I meant elevating heels is easy to hide them when you get measured. If you elevate your heels and stretchig your neck he could add 1 inch to hit 6'1.5 from Vince Basille, but the truth he would measure 6'0.5 on an apprpiate medical height test (184 cm)

Arnold himself said a couple years ago on ana interview sound on height measurement like he cheats talking about hoe to hit the highest height measurement stretchin his neck, etc. Also knowing in bodybuilding inflated heights and his personality.. Looks like he was a a 184 guy on an proopiate measurement
Richardhero said on 25/Mar/18
Rob do you believe he was 186'7 cm? I really like this site but I can't go with this lie. Too many pics out there and people testimonies saying he was never over 6'1. I also believe he was close to 6'1 closer to 6'0.5. Arnold is my favorite actor adn he is the best but enough saying he was a big muscular guy 184 cm or 6 1/2 dude

Who is seeing a 186'7 cm Arnold?? The highest mark I found on Arnold is 6'0.5 and lowest 6 footer. 6'1.5 is a big lie. Honesty please
Editor Rob
Arnold is the only actor in Hollywood who offered to paint shoes on his feet so that he wouldn't look 6ft 1.5 in films...

Ok, now that's a lie!

Was the guy who measured Arnold lying about it? I don't think he was...but it's not impossible for the stadiometer to have been off slightly. That might support the argument of 6ft 1 max for him.

@Andy6footer

Hi Andy,

To be honest I met him briefly and I did not play any attention to his footwear, so I can't say who had the footwear advantage. I can also say that I am about 181.cm in the morning and 179.5cm at night(give or take a few mm) and on the picture he seems to be slightly shorter.

I think that at this point Arnold is 180.5cm in the morning and 178.5 at night. And at his peak he was probably around 184-185cm.

On the other hand, I met some strongmen and I have pictures with some such as Zydrunas and Brian Shaw and they are definitely huge and I would say that they are as tall as they claim to be, or even taller (I thought that Zydrunas was taller than 191cm)
Hank917 said on 25/Mar/18
In this photo from 1983 Arnold is holding his citizenship certificate. It is difficult to read but I think the certificate states his height as 6ft2 and his weight as 215 pounds. I guess he did not get measured for his citizenship certificate and they just asked Mr. Schwarzenegger.

Franco Colombu was probably 5'4 peak. So just take a look of all the barefoot photos of Arnold and Franco..
As I see it he is probably more like a 6'1 kind of guy. This explaines more the height loss, losing 4-5 cm is more reasonable then 6 cm.

So ManKo what are yor thoughts on Arnold's height? As tall as you? Do you believe he was over 6'1?
ManKo said on 23/Mar/18
@Juby5'9 3/4

Not really, shrinking around 2 cm per day is kind of average. Your genetics and your daily activities, things like weightlifting, running, a physical job, etc it will also affect how much you shrink during the day, as far as I know.

Kostas said on 22/Mar/18
Let me break it down for you.

Arnie was around 183-184 cm at his peak height. Not a centimeter taller.

How he achieved a 187 cm measurement in 1969 can be explained easily. Human height can flactuate during the day by 1 to 1,5 cm.

Arnie probably hang himself upside down for an hour or two before getting his height measured which would increase his height temporarily plus he probably took a big breath to fill his lungs so he can maximize his height and made sure to gain any extra mm by taking the best posture possible and lifting his heels as much as possible.

Not suprising consider his is obsessed with his height.

He could easily get to 187 from 183,5 doing all that.

Now pretending to be 187 when you are 183,5 cm isnt really hard. Arnie always wore lifts and boots with high-heels so he would tower everyone.
The fact that he was so mascular & massive also added to the illusion of his towering stature.

I wouldnt be suprised if he also wore the thickest socks possible. Those celebrities are obsessed with their image.

Arnie looks to be the same height or sligthly shorter than Jeff Bridges who is 184-185 cm.

You can also find many photos of Arnie standing next to Kristanna Loken who is 180 cm and they appear to be the same height. Loken wears high heels but so does Arnie with his boots. And in some photos Loken looks taller.

There is no way in hell Arnie was taller than 184 cm in his prime. He is a liar.

Nowdays he looks like a 178-180cm guy which is a reasonable drop considering his age. There is no way he dropped from 187cm to 178-180cm. but from 183-184 cm the drop is possible.

To sum it up.

Arnie at his peak 183-184 cm.
Arnie nowdays 178-180 cm.

@ManKo
"Now I am 181,8cm out of bed and 179.8cm at my lowest."

I don't how You guys measure yourself. Last time i checked (about 2 monthsago) I was 177,5cm in the morning and 177,3cm twelve hours later. The lowest measure for me was 176,5cm. I don't know how You can shrink over 1 centimeter during the day, it's impossible.


Arnold was very close to Carl in "Predator", but we can't see them standing straight as well as we can't see their shoes. Arnold could have higher heels.

I am the guy on the pic. Just something worth mentioning, during the last month I’ve been busy, and I have not done any deadlift or squat during my trainings. I started taking glucosamine with chondroitin as well. I have noticed that I don’t lose as much height during my days as before and my morning height is also a bit higher.

Now I am 181,8cm out of bed and 179.8cm at my lowest.

Met him at the Arnold classic where I took a pic with him. I am 181.5cm morning and 179.3cm at my lowest at night and he was as told as me, or maybe 1cm taller.

Definetely no more than 182cm today.

Thx for the pic, little tilt correction :)
From this pic and regarding your more hunched posture, I can´t see Arnie at max 5´10.5" with chance of just 5´10".
IMO you would be taller if you stood as straight as him.

Is possible he is 5'10.5 I just say 5'11.25 because there's a guy who is 179 cm at night or 5'10.5 and said Arnold was his height or 1 cm more. Yes Arnold is 5'10.75 nowdays maybe a bit upgrade. 10 years ago he was 5'11.25 and in the 70's as Mr Olympia not even 6'1 more 6'075
HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 20/Mar/18
Dave5ft9 said on 20/Mar/18
Rob is right. Arnold hit 5'11.25 for a height measurement

********************************************************

Arnold is clearly shorter than Wolff who claims 181cm/ 5´11.25".... He was already shorter than him some years ago...
Maybe 5´10.5" if we say Rob is a 5´8" guy and thats a fair guess
Dave5ft9 said on 20/Mar/18
Rob is right. Arnold hit 5'11.25 for a height measurement but on his posture looks 5'10.5-5'11. On his peak I give him 1'5 inch more. 6'0.75

Saw a picture of Arnie with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. Thought Arnie looked about four to five inches shorter. Varadkar is 6'3 at most IMO. Searched the internet for any reference to Varadkar's height but could only see a journalist describe him as 6'4...which is mostly likely an overstated guess. A friend of mine was recently in a group photo standing beside Varadkar. Both were standing tall and both were about same height. My friend is a bit shorter than me, probably 190cm. it's possible Arnie is now below 5'11, maybe 5'10.5

Show me any proof you see Arnold being taller than Carl Weathers..Don't mention in Predator please. You can't even see it there. On the making of is explained how Arnold as the main character want him to appear taller and huge and the star of the movie. In others scenes they look similar. Being luck Arnold was as tall as him. Carl Weathers was 6'0.75-6'1 in his prime. Today is 6'0.5. He is a upgraded at 6'1.

I am 192 cm/6.3-6.4 and 210-220 pounds usually, kind of a big guy, and neither Arnold och Carl is small in anyway from my point of view. Carl weathers almost as tall as me and wider then me and i shook his hand and he had a strong grip, Arnold is about 6 feet and more heavily built then me. It differs around a forehead with arnold and me in height on the picture i have.


When? In their primes, Arnie was 100% taller.

Rob, are you sure young Arnold, young Will Smith and young Jim Carrey had the same height? In my opinion, Arnold could be really 6'1.25" but I would not put it under 186 cm. Maybe Smith's list is good, but I'm afraid that he and Carrey may already need a peak height and current height... As for Carrey, I think he could be weak 6'2 "(6'1.75") when he was younger. What is your opinion Rob?
Editor Rob
All 3 could be argued from 6ft 1 up to 1.5 I'd say...I can see the arguments for anywhere amongst that range.

Most lifters are not too shortened their when they get older. Because they still use low dose anabolizan and they continue to lift weight. And they lost muscles and bones density slowly,not rapidly. But when Arnold was thrown into politics and suddenly left the sport and anabolizan, his muscles and bones dramatically eroded. His condition is like in postmenopausal women. Estrogen is rapidly decreasing, muscle and bone era starts.
George said on 6/Mar/18

I'd roughly agree with Sly Gemini below. I've been close enough to Arnold to judge his height on three occasions (2014, 2016 and 2017) and each time put him at either 5'11 or 6 foot (even accounting for footwear). The man is no giant, but he's really not as short as some people would like to have you believe.

Bale is not standing straight (neither do Arnold, but he is 'more straight' than Bale anyway) & has disadvantage in shoes, and still looks taller than Schwarzenegger in my opinion (eye level). Bale is 182-183 cm and Arnold was shorter than him 10 years ago! No, when he is 70, he looks even shorter!! 180 cm is absolute max nowadays for Arnold.

Arnold Governator is ONLY FIVE FEET EIGHT AND 1/2. He wear 2" lifts inside 2" inch heeled shoes to 'look' approximately '6 feet'. His fake height is the biggest lie ever perpetuated in Hollywood. Lou Ferigno towers over him barefoot by a full head and he's only 6'4". I've met him and I'm six foot 1/2 and I'm inch taller than him in his heels. Look up photos of him standing with Ferrigno in 1970s bodybuilding cmpetitions, barefoot

Wow.. Buddy, you have to look at recent pics and video of poor Arnold. He has lost many inches in height. Rob is being EXTREMELY generous with his 5'11.25" present day height. That is at least 1" too high for his present height. Imo, he has now officially lost 3.5" since his prime and I AM a HUGE fan of Arnold. This is not a knock against him by any means. It's a completely objective estimate based on what my eyes SEE and not what I WANT THEM TO.

Bill Kazmeier's body has been through far more wear and tear and he hasnt lost much height. Strongman bodies get absolutely hammered but they don't lose as much as these guys apparently have.

Oh YES HE HAS lost height. Are you kidding me? Look how he measures up to legit 6'5"-6'6" guys today compared to when he was in his prime. They DWARF him today. He used to measure 6'2.5"-6'3" and Geoff Capes at his peak was 6'5"-6'6" and Kaz did not look to be towered by him by any means. He stood the same height as other legit 6'3" guys like Lars Hedlund and Jon Pall Sigmarson. Today you have Kaz looking to be in the 6'0" range with guys of that height. YES, his posture is great, but he is the same height as Derek Poundstone and Laurence Shahlei today who are both around 6'0" legit (yes I know, they are billed at 6'1", but are not that height). He is also edged out by LEGIT 6'1" Eddie Hall (no he is not 6'3"). He is 65 this year and I promise you, he has lost at least 2" but because of his good posture it's difficult to notice until he stands next to other people of known height. the height loss is easily in his upper torso and neck. It is NOT curved over, but it is compressed.
Canson said on 2/Mar/18
@Original: 5’10 range looks small for him imho. But when you say
fan, I never take personal opinions into consideration when guaging height. I think he looked 184-185 range next to most people he was next to at his peak. Maybe a strong 6’ but no less than that and today still prob a solid 5’11 imho
George said on 2/Mar/18
Cole, that's right..That guy in hat is listed as 6'2 and is towering Arnold for atleast 3 inches..Curious thing I noticed is, in Commando Arnold is looking as a 5'11, medium sized guy(though muscular) but in Predator he looks much heavier, massive guy and easily a 6 footer..In Commando when that 6'2 listed guy towers Arnie, in Predator Arnie stands equal to or taller than 6'2 listed Carl Weathers and Sonny..I guess that's largely cos of camera tricks as you can see in some scene we can see Arnold standing as tall as that big Jesse Ventura..

Bill Kazmeier's body has been through far more wear and tear and he hasnt lost much height. Strongman bodies get absolutely hammered but they don't lose as much as these guys apparently have.
Original said on 2/Mar/18
I can see he being 6'0 to 6'0.5" in his peak, no more. In 2018, he is 5'10.5 - 5'10.75.
The Shredder said on 2/Mar/18
I do believe the 6'1.5 measurement but I believe it was dodgy. He was being listed at just 6'1 at 19 and was giving I think 6'1 and 3/8th before.

I can see him at just 6'1 at peak but not much under if at all
Yas said on 1/Mar/18
All bodybuilders inflate their height, ALL of them. Ferrigno was never 6'5, Moeller was never 6'8 and guess what? Arnie was never 6'1.5.

I think he still looks around 5ft 11.5. He was nearly the same height as 6ft PM David Cameron a couple of years ago.
A peak height of 6ft 1+ is conceivable.

Remember, this guys party piece in the 70s & 80s was bodybuilding. I noticed from personal experience last year that working out & running can temporarily prevent you from being peak height. I'd done strength programmes and running for most of my adult life and and when I infrequently measured myself I was always 1m83-1m84. Last summer a had an injury and had to cease training for 2 months. I just rested and did light stretching.
Anyway, measured my height a couple of times out of pure boredom and was suddenly 1m 85.3. Couldn't believe it.

Rob , he had a Heart Valve replacement , cann that make you lose height or very little if any?

How old are you Shredder? Just think about your question again. How can heart valve replacement make you lose height? Are they fusing spinal discs? Are they cutting away bone at the femur/hip/knee level? It's like asking, can laser eye surgery make you lose height? I mean really? Do you have to ask these questions to Rob? First of all, he's NOT a doctor, but more importantly, isn't this one just logical Shredder?

Problem is they aren't 6'5 or 6'4. Gus is shorter than Tom Selleck. I've seen this episode of Magnum. Tom is in white plimsoles and Gus is in football shoes. The guy is 6'3 which puts Arnie below 6'1.5, probably an inch under that.

Probably THE WORST camera angle shot to prove your point that Tom Selleck was taller than him. There is NO WAY of knowing that based on the pic you provided.

The point I'm making is that Arnie may have had height measurements that showed his true height, especially when he was younger; but the heavy training may have kept him walking around 2-3cm shorter most of the time.

Lowest arguable Peak or 80s early 90s is 6'0,5-0,75 184-185cm example if bridges was only 6'1,75 shoes on arnie looks aleast 184-5cm , Belushi was not less than 180-180,5cm so arnie near 185cm ,tom Arnold who'm i met and was 185-186cm arnie didnt look shorter , arnie bas near 5cm on Bennett in commando so near 6'1 , Clooney was aleast 179-80cm arnie looks near 6cm taller , when in equal shoes and posture arnie Can look 10cm over Sly AT Peak , around 9cm on van damme so 184-5cm i agree he rarely looked 186-7cm Peak he looked more anywere 6'0,5-6'1,25 , under 6'0,5-0,75 evening height After weight lifting is unlikely ,i think 6'2 out if bed Peak and 6'1 night and by films 6'0,75 then 6'0,5 6'0 5'11,5 and now 5'11ish

Jo said on 27/Feb/18
bottom line, In my view, as I said many times, the guy was about 186 cm (noon height), which is a very good height for a man. I cannot say for sure, I've never meet the guy, but after all the pics and movies that I've seen I can express this opinion about the guy.
About the measurements of Vince Basille, I haven't been there to see but always a small error can occur or like Rob said, additional to this small human error, maybe Arnold did a burst of gut. Overall, Arnold always has seemed above average guy. Even these days, as he's around 180cm, he's not a short guy.

Even if Sven is/was 193cm (6'4"), Arnold is still 6'1.5" in those pics. I mean they are barefoot after all. If Sven was 6'5" then Arnold was 6'2" earlier in the day and 6'1.5" at night. Either way, those pics of him with Sven rule out the ridiculous 5'10"-6'0" claims of a prime Arnold.

Arnold has been generous and donates his height to a good cause. 1/3rd of an inch inch every 4 years since turning 50.


Rob - he's donating the extra height to Stallone, right? But joking aside, some people do lose extraordinary amounts of hieght. I have a friend who's just hit 70, and scraped 5'11 in his early 30s. Now he's a little over 5'8. My own father lost at least 3 inches of height by his late 60s.
Editor Rob
Some folk are surprised at height loss. Also what you do in your prime years can effect your latter years...an accumulation of wear and tear leads to surgeries needing done.

Look at Sylvester McCoy at 74 - he f**** his knees, ankles and hips in his 30's and 40's just through being an actor who was a bit more physical than others. Recently, he said he's now down to 5ft 2 (anybody who watched Dr Who in the 80's would have seen he was a minimum 5ft 5.5 range). Look at him in January 2018. At age 45 he'd have been taller than the girl he is standing beside...

Arnold looks more like 182cm next to 215cm Wilt Chamberlain and 211cm Andre the Giant. So the "T2 measurement from 1990" (5'11.75") seems legit to me.

And he definitely didn't weight 235 lbs back then. In his biography he claimed to be less than 221 lbs during Conan movies. In "The Terminator" he was 228-230 lbs and he was bigger.

Not under 1,85m peak evening, 1,86m would be a fair listing, 6´1" he was the biggest part of the day.

Can´t see him 5´11" evening today, he goes down to 5´10-10.5", big loss but not uncommon to shrink 6-7cm age 70+.

To keep height:

Don´t smoke
Don´t drink much alcohol
Don´t do roids

Do drink enough
Do sleep enough (mattress should fit you)
Do stretching Robstyle and move enough
Have fun no anger

Arnold is still taller than Leno, but his prime height is tricky. There are scenes in Stay Hungry where he can look to edge out Jeff Bridges like the one in the bathroom and when they're at the party, but then at other times Bridges can look to have the edge so I'd guess them about the same, but then in The Long Goodbye, Elliott Gould clearly looks about an inch taller to me. Arnold could have been a 186 cm man.

"@CDS = yes all the measures don't give always exactly the same results imo.For example= i personnally practice bodybuilding and my buttocks are very rounded,and so if i measure myself back to a wall i must a little bit " break" my back to be absolutely stuck in the wall and so my posture will be not very good and i will lose probably a little height when i will read the height gauge."

slimeball, The words say that you don't lose height until 50-55, not 40-45. Of course unless you suffer injuries and surgeries. Also I think the height loss is overplayed dramatically on this site. I don't think you can really lose any height until 70 if you don't suffer of any bone affection, injuries or surgeries. It has to do with bad posture after 55 if none of those are included.

For example my grandpa is 75 year old and hasn't lost 1 cm in height since he was 20 year old.

my grandma is 81 and she suffers from a bone affection and she lost in only 6 years over 7 cm of height despite measuring 152 cm for his entire adulthood until she was 75.

As Far as the Bridges Video goes, Arnold was around 1.25" Shorter when they looked at each other face to face before Arnold walked off.

That 1-1/4" is not the true Difference obviously since Arnold was barefoot. Maybe only 1/2-3/4" of a Difference assuming Bridges had on regular shoes IDK.

Nowadays Bridges may be in the 5'11.5 range since he is a bit shorter than Chris Pine ( no taller than 6'0.5"). Bridges is also in his mid to late 60's, so a Loss of around 1" is possible. Its possible Bridges was only 6'0.5-6'1" in his prime which would actually still yield a Solid 6 foot Arnold.

He makes it to about and 1-1/4" under Joe Mangeneillo's eye level in similar footwear. Look at Joe with Rob, that eye level is at 6'0, so Arnold would be around 5'10.75" still in 2014 at age 67. He was likely around 1" taller than this in his prime so 6 footish.

There was a period of time - between about '77 and 1980 (before his movie career picked up) that Arnold got relatively slender. He'd obviously gone naturally, and was promoting healthier lifestyles through seminars and books and TV appearances etc, but I guess the movies from Conan onwards demanded muscle.

Wouldn't have guessed he looked over six feet with Jai.

juby: A person dont lose height through aging before 40-45, at 50 many people have lost maximum 1 centimater and 1-1.5 inches at 70, why dont you go read medical litterature on google on this subject before you spread your nonsense?

I am 35,about 6.3 now just as i were at 20 even though i lifted since then.

HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 18/Jan/18
Rob something went wrong with the conversion, shouldn´t it be 6´1 1/4" peak?

Editor Rob
It's a figure many believe he was, that's for sure, I think half the folk would vote for 186 range.
JJStyles said on 18/Jan/18
Rob how much height does a male lose percent? and how much does a woman lose percent?
Editor Rob
You would expect a man to lose a solid inch by the time he is 70, a women closer to 2 inches by early 70's.

A man losing 2 inches by 70 is greater than average, 1/2 inch below average.
Samwells said on 17/Jan/18
Arnold's peak height taller than Roger Federer and same as Djokvic? lol
Looks on the video with Jeff Bridges Robert Englund 184 range. I can't even but 185 (which is 6'0.75) 6'0.5 Heights busted as always...
THE REAL ANNONYMOUS said on 17/Jan/18
tree!! thats awesome footage of Arnold in bare feet with Jeff Bridges and Robert Englund!!
Can we please put to rest anything shorter than a peak 6'1.5

Rob.... whats your take on this footage???
Editor Rob
I think arguing Arnie under 6ft 1 was hard with that clip.
tree said on 17/Jan/18
Arnold,Jeff Bridges and Robert Englund Click Here Arnold has no shoes
Barry Fl said on 17/Jan/18
Personally I believe Arnold could have dropped below 6'1 by T2 - if we take the 1969 measurement of 6'1.5 as a starting point. But I'm not going to accept it as a fact without any proof. And I'm pretty sure that this pre-production measurement doesn't exist.
Ferry said on 17/Jan/18
Anyway he looked 182 range barefoot in 1990-1991 T-2. I agree Juby5'9 3/4 Arnold wears big motorcycle boots (+1.5" according to arnoldheight.com article), specific haircut (another +0.5") and in the most of the scenes he is next to the young Eddie Furlong or Linda Hamilton (both short). In T2 he looks for a strong 6'2 guy (188 cm easily), but barefoot - I can buy that he was actually 182 cm.
If Arnold was 182 range at that ime at 43 years old still young healthy good posture his max could not be over 183'5 in his peak.
Barry Fl said on 17/Jan/18
Ferry - Sorry, but Robert Patrick saying he was almost the same height as Arnold is not proof of that supposed T2 pre-production measurement. It's proof of nothing except Robert Patrick trying to make himself look a bit more studly. Especially if he still says Arnold is "6 foot or 6'1" (your words - his exact quote was "I think he's about 6 foot 1"). This site allows Robert Patrick 5'11.5 at peak (which he would have been at time of filming).

And as for the constant cry of 'but Arnold was wearing boots' - so was everyone else in the film! You'd think they were all running about barefoot or in carpet slippers. Look at the start of the movie where Arnold faces off against the bikers (who were wearing boots), which he filmed in very flat deck shoes (visible in behind the scenes footage).
Juby5'9 3/4 said on 17/Jan/18
Does anyone have the link, where someone claimed that Arnold was measured 5'11.75 in 1990 (T2 pre-production) and Clint was 6'3.5 in 1980 (during production of "Any Which Way You Can" if I remember correctly)? I cannot find it. :(
Jim Hopper said on 16/Jan/18
In the video recently with Jay Leno both are stood facing each other. Arnie looks just about the same height as Jay. Proof hes not 5-11" today. Peak is 6-0.5 max.
Ferry said on 16/Jan/18
Barry Fl it's not a rumour. Is true. Robert Patrick was 5'11 at that time and on the interview the making of said: Arnie is about my size I think he is 6 or 6'1 and I'm 6'. But as you can see he exaggerate his height. You can visit his height listed here. He was 5'11 and Arnold about 6' no more
Juby5'9 3/4 said on 16/Jan/18
@Paul
"If Arnold was 182-182,5 cm in Terminator (5'11.5-.75) how can anyone can believe he was 187 cm? Over 185 cm is so hard to believe. Just listen a lot of testimonies, pics, etc. His current height is perfect but his peak was at least 1,5 shorter, mayority can't even notice 1-2 cm (1 inch) and real heights. You should learn what's a real 187 cm man barefoot."

Arnold wears big motorcycle boots (+1.5" according to arnoldheight.com article), specific haircut (another +0.5") and in the most of the scenes he is next to the young Eddie Furlong or Linda Hamilton (both short). In T2 he looks for a strong 6'2 guy (188 cm easily), but barefoot - I can buy that he was actually 182 cm.

Besides... this wasn't Arnold's peak. He was 43 back then and he could have already lost some height. The mystical "6'1.5 measurement" was in 1969, 21 years earlier. If Arnold's peak was 6'1, he could went down to 5'11.75 in 21 years. Seems legit to me.
Barry Fl said on 16/Jan/18
I occasionally see mention of this supposed T2 production measurement of 5'11.75. I've never seen any proof to back this up. Don't know where it came from but let's not start accepting it as a fact until we see any evidence to go along with it. As far as I know it's nothing better than an internet rumour started by one person and passed around since then.
Edmund said on 15/Jan/18
You guys no that if your over 183cm 6feet u can drop to 177cm at your lowest my brother is 183cm that's how I know and im way taller then him and I drop to 186cm but really am 198cm morning it all depends on what u do in the day and if u don't sleep u will continue to drop down to your lowest and thatis truth try it yourself self alot people judge way to much so Arnold is actually still 186cm in the morning the taller u are the more u drop in height especially when you're in your 20s u will lose more cause the disc in your spine can comprise up to 15cm or more like i said depends on how tall u are

If you don't believe me just search his bodybuilding years next to Frank Zane, he looks 2 inches taller 2'5 on him, Lou Ferrigno ( tower Arnold almost 3 inches at least. He was 191 cm in his peak). Legit 6'2 guys towered him. I can't buy more than 6'0.75 in his best day.

I find it sad to see that Rob is being so heavily pressured lately to change the estimate of Arnold's height because a noisy hardcore don't like it (despite never having seen the man himself in real life). We're all entitled to our opinions, and should never insist anyone change theirs - especially without concrete proof. Let Rob make his own mind up. If you don't like it, that's fine. He's not asking you to change yours. For what it's worth I roughly agree with Rob's estimate, both peak and current. And I've stood next to Arnold.
Paul said on 15/Jan/18
Well thank you for answering and I know you are doing a great job. This site is so interesting and popular actors know this page. Congratulations for all this years. Just saying It'll be better sometimes you do downgrades knowing the average guess and so many testimonies. Saying a lot of people guess him 6ft 1, 1.25 and 6ft 1.5. makes a 6'1.25 average again on those heights. Well thank you again and hope you keep working in this site.
Juby5'9 3/4 said on 15/Jan/18
Yesterday I re-watch "Raw Deal" (1986). In a lot of shots Arnold is standing next to Robert Davi (6'2 or according to Rob 6'1.75) and he is slightly, max. 0.25" shorter than Davi. Of course if You take a really close look, you might notice that Arnold almost always has advantage in shoes (wears at least 1.25" heels). Depending on how honest about his height Davi was (he claimed to be even 6'3 - LOL) Arnold's peak couldn't be less than 6'1 (185 cm). One year later, Arnold is clearly at least Carl's (Wheaters - 185 cm) height in "Predator". Based on his movies in years 1984-1987 (Terminator-Predator) I can totally buy that Arnold peak was 185 or even 186 cm! But he might overestimate himself for 1-2 cm (shoes, hair, camera angle). Arnie as a solid 6'1 guy? Yeah, he could have been that guy. ;)

@Rob - could You add to his profile info/link about measurement that Arnold had in 1990 during T2 pre-production (it was 5'11.5 or 5'11.75?)? Barefoot, evening, in his 40s, he easily could have been 182 cm, I think.
Paul said on 14/Jan/18
So Rob if you have the last word I think we doesn't mean anything here in this page.. What's the point? I think our opinions are important here. The mayority of people think Arnold was never over 185'7 cm and that's the absolute highest measurement he could ever been in his life, and some others say 186 with luck. I believe 184 cm at most. Arnold is listed at 186'7 cm which I'm not the only one who thinks is far from his peak height. So he was 189 cm with shoes? Come on..
I agree HeightcrazyRed6ft you should downgrade his peak height. 187 cm is not serious 6'1 would be realistic
Editor Rob
I allow comments and added the option for people to leave a guess. Of course it is of interest. If I didn't care for reading/replying to comments, I'd have turned them off, but I welcome them.
A lot of people guess him 6ft 1, 1.25 and 6ft 1.5.
Matt6'5 said on 14/Jan/18
Question for editor Rob, do you not consider “Busting a Gut” Part of someone’s true height then? What is the true height then, knocking off an eighth of an inch?
Editor Rob
In the UK, at least when they were taking National health survey, the guideline was in fact to ask the participant to breathe in to stand at their tallest.

But of course Millimetres matter and Busting a Gut is the tallest measure of our bodies without rising on toes or one leg.
HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 14/Jan/18
Editor Rob
While 186cm is always a distinct possibility, it would mean his measurement had some error to it...a 1/4 inch isn't impossible to believe.

******************************************************************************************************************************************

So now with the average guess data and you sound like tending to under 6´1.5" and after years of holding the Basille measurement over everything, wouldn´t 6´1.25" be the perfect listing?
Editor Rob
Nothing is ruled out with Arnie, and 186 has always been a possibility.
Charlyman said on 12/Jan/18
Rob. I think finally his current height is clear! 180 range. 5'10.75
His peak is also clear to me 183 range.
His peak should be downgrade also. Rob you recognize he have burst a gut to reach the 6ft 1.5. A correct medical measure wouldlower the mark. A downgrade is need for 2018. 6'1 would be much better
HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 12/Jan/18
Editor Rob: Remember Crazy, I also have a convention friend who met Arnie just over a year ago.

And he didn't think Arnie was under 5ft 11 when he got a photo with him.

**********************************************************************************************

Just a bit kidding around ;)

Wasn´t it the guy you said was like 176-177cm, because in the pic it looked like max 3cm?

What´s the lowest normal eveningheight you would argue for todays Arnie?
Charlyman said on 12/Jan/18
Rob 6'1.25 listing for his peak would be more realistic you did it on his current height we are waiting 2018 at least 6'1.25 last downgrade. I'm saying this at the same time I really believe he was 6'0.5 with luck in his best day
Editor Rob
While 186cm is always a distinct possibility, it would mean his measurement had some error to it...a 1/4 inch isn't impossible to believe.
Charlyman said on 12/Jan/18
Rob not sure if he is under 5'11 nowdays , but watching the pic and reading this testimonies is safe to say he is 180-180,5 cm range 5'10.75. 5'11 max. I can't give more than a 4 cm loss so the most he could ever measure is 184 everything fits:
Peak 183,5 cm (6'0.25) evening height
Nowdays: 180 (5'10.75) evening height
santgr said on 12/Jan/18
I think Franco Columbu was lying about his height too. He claimed 5ft5 while he was 5ft3 or 5ft4 on a good day. What do you think Rob?

Thx for the pic, little tilt correction :)
From this pic and regarding your more hunched posture, I can´t see Arnie at max 5´10.5" with chance of just 5´10".
IMO you would be taller if you stood as straight as him.



Rob that 0.5" you gave him as an extra - pure fear loooollll

The guy on the right Bill Pearl is 177 cm or 5'9.75 listed 5'10 on google.
If you watch the pic he is on a lower flat angle. Arnold again strugles with 6'0.25
How is possible anybody still think he was over 186 or 6'1? He was 6'0.5 at early hours in his best day with luck. Amazing how people can't be wrong on real height and can't accept this. A lot of testimonies and photos put Arnold at a 6 footer 6'0.5 peak in his best day early measurement

In Red Heat Arnold is standing taller and stretch and Belushi is more relax, also Arnie has shoe advantage and his hair style makes him taller to look even taller.

6'1 flat peak isn't impossible as he was giving that height at 19. 6'1 peak is possible if his 6'1.5 , 6'1.75 measurements were early/morning or dodgy , even that would make him 6'0.75 - 6'1 at the very minimum and that 6'0.75 might have been a tad too low. So yes 6'0 peak is stupid talk.

6'1 flat would also mean that he lost less height. I can buy 6'1 down to 5'11.25 , not 6'1.75 to 5'10 like Danimal thinks.

I think he is over a flat 5'10". Probably 5'10.25"-5'10.5" range today.
Danimal 5'9 3/4 said on 7/Jan/18
Rob, you have Eddie Hall listed at 6'1.5" (many believe he's 6'1" flat). Here he is with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold is not 5'11.5". I'm sorry but that is at least 2.5"-3" height difference:

What's crazy is that a PRIME Arnold would have been the same height as Eddie LEGIT. If Arnold stood next to his younger self, that is how he'd compare to him. That is how much height Arnold has lost.

_____________________________________________________________________

Yeah he gave his height as 1,85m in germany when he started. 6´1" would be a fair listing as I think he would dip below like 2-3/8 peak evening.
Today he looks less than 5´11", I wouldn´t go higher than 5´10.75" eveningheight.
so he lost about 2"-2.25"

6´1.75"-5´10" is over the line in both directions - nearly 4" noway

Absolutely agree he was pushing 6' I don't see never more than 183 cm in his peak and seen thousands of photos and compare him with legut 6'2 guys. 6'1 is more than 185'4 cm. He was not even 184 cm, maybe at morning. Arnold was the best example of a 6 footer strong 6 footer if you want
