Peak 6' or just over 6' and today 5'10.5 or 179 cm. He never looked even 6'1 in his prime. I think people have a wrong concept about height


Well, I agree with you on that last sentence. :P
CDS said on 4/Jan/18
@Pierre! Thank you! I saw the shot you mentioned -- full-body, and Bridges edged Arnie out by an inch at best, and had shoes on, and Arnie was barefooted; makes a BIG difference. So I am just about now a convert to yes, Arnie could have indeed been measured 6'1.5" barefoot in the '70s. My only question now for that email -- was it a measurement taken up against a wall -OR- stadiometer, free-standing...LOL Would make about 1/2 inch difference...

Arnold never was a 6'2 guy. Nobody is posting that.
What is clear is that he was in the 6'1 range minimum. He looked every bit of it, althougth he could look 6 at times.
Cole said on 2/Jan/18
Let’s just end it he was never 6,2 in he’s prime I would say pushing it to 6ft if that today 5,10 u can’t see this by looking at him with guys that are 6,2 then and 6,2 now u
Doc said on 2/Jan/18
Hi everybody yes its me im back again! I would say as I have pribably stated before I think he is now 178.5cm because the average head height of a man with a medium to large manly head is roughly 24cm / 9 1/4 inches and then deduct is 3.25cm shoes with extra lift you get 178.5cm by dividing his head unit into the kength of his body using ratio scales and a calculator! In his hey day is height was approx 182cm slightly under 6ft!
mister_lennon said on 2/Jan/18
arnold was clear a strong 6'1 peak. no less tan 186.
less tan 186 for him is what is fake.
Alex 6'3 said on 2/Jan/18
I'm glad that many people realizing what I always seid. Arnold never was 187, but no more than 183.5-184 cm. Very likely he wore lifts in movies and he lied about his height all the time.

Over 185 is just the most fake ever. So I think he was 183'5 max.

rob i believe the 181 listing is good for him today but he cant really have been 187 cm peak. he looks shorter next to eddie murphy than nick nolte did in boots. But there is no way nick noltes boots give him 4-5 cm extra height than arnolds shoes. i still believe 186 cm arnold peak. barely 184 nolte peak.
The Shredder said on 2/Jan/18
Yea he seems about this nowadays , really no taller. I question his peak , I think he was more a flat 6'1er and his measurements were dodgy. He was giving 6'1 at age 19. I really don't think he lost over 2 inches.

I think it is clear that he was between 6'1 (185) and 6'2 (188), nobody can say exactly where, probably 187 in his 20ies and 186 in 30ies and 40ies. The false fan who is downgrading him is just pathetic like his false veneration to Arnold.

@Pierre I remember a newspaper interview with Robert in the early 90s after he got the role and he said Im 5.11" and slim ,Arnie is about an 1" taller but way much more wider but I can fight him easy in the movie. Question is was he really 5-11" to start with. Maybe a strong 5-10" guy in truth.
Pierre said on 30/Dec/17
Click Here = Robert Patrick next to Rob = By the scale only his very straight hairs are 5"11'.Look at the postures=Rob slouch more than Robert imo.His head tilt a little bit more.So the scale is low imo.And Robert had a little bit advantageous shoes....Rob can be sometimes a little bit generous which is natural=It's very very hard to gauge a guy standing a short time next to you with 1 inch precision.Me too when i try to guess a height of friends standing next to me(or the contrary) i make mistakes and my friends too.

JB S said on 29/Dec/17
I think one big factor is that people have a larger-than-life expectation of Arnold and when they meet him and he is "only" 6 feet tall they are underwhelmed! My opinion is that he was maybe 6 feet and a 1/2 inch as a young man and now about 5' 11"

Rob, I also think bringing him down his peak to 6'1 or '.25" from 6'1.5" would be a reasonable compromise too for 2018. What do you think? Mayority average think he was a legit 6'1 .
Arnoldlfan4ever said on 29/Dec/17
More evidence Arnold was a strong 6 footer and a great example of a real 6 footer: 184 cm at morning. I do not really see Arnold never over 6'0.25/0.5 in his prime. Just said I'm his biggest fan here and seen all his movies and hundreds of pictures. I also love bodybuilding and in the 70's was max 183.5 cm

Fascinating, hard to figure out what is going on.
We have Robert Patrick pictured next to Rob, and clearly standing at 5'11".
You won't find a picture where Arnold does not look 2 inches taller than Patrick.
But also, 6'2" James Cameron seems to tower over Arnold. Maybe Cameron is listed too short? Arnold looks a height between the two of them.
Here's a 1994 appearance with 6'1.5" Letterman, there are a couple others. Arnold's in regular dress shoes. They look the same.
Click Here#
Maybe James Cameron 6'3". Arnold 6'1" (prime), and Robert Patrick 5'11"

Rob, are you going to lower him to 5'11" for the New Year? There's an overwhelming majority of people (myself included) that strongly feel he has dipped below 5'11" and bringing him down to 5'11" from 5'11.5" would be a reasonable compromise, don't you think?

Do no try to make something true. If Senior Bush was 189 cm people would guess him at 6'3 and himself would say he is 6'3 and always woulbe be described as 6'3. Bush was 6'2 max Arnold 6'0.5 max. Do not try to convinced because you don't have idea

Those are not good pics , in red heat Laurence was younger than he's in your pics with matt Damon , he is almost the same height as keanu reeves
Arnoldlfan4ever said on 26/Dec/17
I'm his biggest fan and I've always been since I was a kid. Also I'm bodybuilding lover and watched all his movies. As a good height gessr too I'm pretty convinced he was the best example of a real 183 cm man / 6'0.25 and maybe 0.5 at morning in his prime. The thing here is: he is the kind of man always trying to be the the best, the strongest, number 1, and he has exaggearete and trying to win always and be the best.
I love Arnold but I can tell you he was 183 cm 184 at morning in his prime. Today he is 179.5 cm 180 (weak 5'11 guy)
186-187 cm is a big hoax ( hollywood= lie)
Michael Blanchard said on 26/Dec/17
Bush senior was a very solid 6'2, lets say 189 cm, Arnold was a very solid 6'1, never reaching full 6'2, at 186 187. Here's their difference in height explained.
Jim Hopper said on 25/Dec/17
Heres arnie with a legit 6-2" George Bush snr. All pretty good shots imo. I do not think he was over 6-1" peak. And one full body picture with 6-2 " Bill Clinton which is hard to say Arnie was over 6-1". You decide. Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
hambubger said on 25/Dec/17
The Vince Basile comments highlight how silly it is to nail yourself down to a feet and inches height alone when you are almost an inch shorter when you go to bed from when you wake up. If he'd measured in the morning he'd have got a very different measurement to both lunchtime and evening. This also makes half inches silly. Much better to go with strong, solid and weak. Peak Arnold was a solid 6'1", morning 187, night 185. Could also have been a weak 6'1" (morning 186, night 184) but no shorter.
Albert said on 25/Dec/17
santgr said on 25/Dec/17
Yep I also agree. Rob is right. Starting to believe it.. The reason was stretching like a mofo to get that 6ft1.5 measurement:
He was 6'1 in a relax measurement and maybe 6'1.25 max
santgr said on 25/Dec/17
@Pierre Yeah no problem I get what you are trying to say. I fully agree with Rob on Arnold's peak height. He cleared out the full 6ft1 with ease and maybe he was stretching like a mofo to get that 6ft1.5 measurement when Vince measured him that day.

@CDS = Click Here = make a pause at around 0:51 when Arnold and Robert Englund are looking in the same direction of Jeff Bridges.
********************************************************************************************************************************


Good point

Rob, what do you think? Robert Englund in flat shoes 5´10.25", Arnie clearly not 3.25" taller barefoot, 2.5 maybe.
6´0.75"-6´1" flat for peak Arnie. Maybe measured at 6´1 3/8" while Busting a Gut and 1-2/8" extra from a not so accurate device?

btw I don´t think Jeff was peak 6´1.5" too, he hasn´t 4" on Englund in the vid, only 3-3.25"
Editor Rob
he didn't seem like he'd be 6ft 1 with Englund, though I can't say whether Arnie was at his tallest, or could stretch up.
Pierre said on 24/Dec/17
@Santgr(comment 17 Dec on the pictures Pierre 16 Dec) =i agree we can not see the floor and the shoes, imo there is a little probability Ralf Moeller was in cow boy boots,the turf in the picture seem to be regular even if we can not see all the turf,and in the other picture the two other actors are looking about their respective height one to another which can make me think the floor is regular and the shoes are the same.Let's say there is some coincidences.
Albert said on 24/Dec/17
Hi rob, where do you think Arnold would stadiometre in the 70's (evening measurement) ?

A:181-182
B:182-183
C:183-184
D:184-185
E:185-186
Editor Rob
can't see how he'd be under E.
miko said on 24/Dec/17
6'0.75/6'1 prime. Never ever looked a full 6'2.

Today his height is in the 5'11 range but its harder to pinpoint as he can look anywhere from 5'10.5 to 5'11.5 in any given photo. He has even looked 5'10 flat on occasion in the last year but I don't think he's that short surely.

Some on here think Stallone was 5'8/9 peak so find a picture of him with 5/6 inches on Stallone. They don't exist. The most I've ever seen was him having around 4 inches on him when they were both in normal footwear in the late 70's/early 80's.

I don't think Arnold has ever used lifts, only cowboy boots occasionally IMO.

the height of young Arnold really was something around 1.83cm, see this photo with Bruno Sammartino measuring something around 1.77cm.
jeffrey5'11 said on 22/Dec/17
I can't really see a 6'1.5 peak Arnold. Is a joke
Look at him guys. He maybe was 6' in his prime. Let's add a quarter inch over 6' if you want. 6'range is more realistic. 183 cm range. Any mark over is a hoax. I have seen a lot of pictures of him and all his movies. I'm sure in a relax measurement at the nurse he would be very far from that 6'1.5 mark. Lucky if he could hit 6'0.25
Watch him here. Even in some clips and photos sometimes looked 5'11

Jonnny said on 22/Dec/17
Editor Rob: I will say Arnie may well have burst a gut to reach the 6ft 1.5 that he was measured, so I understand an estimate of 6ft 1.25 for him
That makes more sense and I agree a 6'1 measurement would be more his real height in his peak but not over.
Pierre said on 22/Dec/17
@CDS = Click Here = make a pause at around 0:51 when Arnold and Robert Englund are looking in the same direction of Jeff Bridges.Robert Englund is in a picture next to Rob(probably around the years 2007/2009).He was about the same height as Rob in this picture and Rob give him 5"9.5' at his peak,which is maybe one hair generous imo.Arnold is barefoot,Robert is in slim soles imo(flat sneakers like Converse around 0.6 inch).Robert's eyes are comfortably the same height as Arnold's mouth for me(arnold is a little closer to the camera and look a little more upward with his head than Robert imo).Jeff wear flat sneakers;At around 0:33 in the video,with a pause you can see the height of Jeff next to Arnold (always barefoot) in another angle of camera.

With Gould in that clip 100% proves he was never over 6-1"
CDS said on 20/Dec/17
I know it's been mentioned to death, about Arnie looking a tad shorter than Jeff Bridges in the film from the '70s, "Stay Hungry", and it was mentioned Arnie was in barefeet, but Bridges was in shoes. I went back and watched that movie again recently but couldn't find definitive proof. Does anyone have a FULL-BODY shot of Bridges looking taller than Arnie in that movie, where you can see Bridges has shoes on and Arnie is in barefeet? I've only seen the one picture of Arnie standing up and Bridges laying on the weightlifting bench. And the only shots of the 2 of them standing next to each other (again, where Bridges looks around an inch taller), I can't see their feet. If someone were to produce a FULL-BODY shot where you can make out their footwear (or lack thereof), and the 2 of them standing, I would be much more convinced of that 6'1.5" barefoot peak height measurement...

yes, I still think he did clear 6ft 1 flat and at least 186cm in his early 20's...now I think he is looking like 181cm might be the most he will measure.
Unsub 5' 10 said on 20/Dec/17
That's right, 6'0" at his peak. Elliot Gould was listed as 6'2, there's a chance he might be 6'2.5. The more reason to believe Arnie was under 6'1. He looked like 3" shorter than Elliot
Editor Rob
arnold takes his shoes off and has bodybuilder hunch, like he's been pumping iron to look as big as possible for his scene.

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

She claimed 1,82m wich is 5´11.75" on german TV and that Sly was 1,74-1,75m when they were married.
She also said she had "fun" with Arnie, Sly on the other side was "like a rabbit"

The heightchart pic clearly proves that at this point she was only 6ft in footwear.

So peak 1,82m and today 1,80m
santgr said on 17/Dec/17
@Pierre In the photo I posted both are barefeet while we don't know what kind of footwear they wear or how flat the floor/ground is in your photos. I can't see Arnold below 186-187 cm during his prime days.
Real Cavill said on 17/Dec/17
6'0.5" in his prime.

@LordHumongous.....Muscle does make people appear shorter from a distance, but that's not an issue for someone as famous as Arnold. We have zillions of pics of him with other people. Zillions of people have met him and he's done bodybuilding barefoot next to other guys. His height can be accurately guessed with little error. The muscle illusion is only a problem when you don't have enough reference points and you have to eyeball it.

Also it is not common at all for people to lose 2.5 inches by the time they are 70 unless they have vertebrae problems. Reading I have done says about 2" by age 80 and 1" by age 70. A lot of that is due to fallen arches, bone density problems, etc. and not joint compression. Arnold looks upright to me.

Here's a link to some of what Vince said. You'll see he was no Arnold fan. But he was fairly certain of the big man's height.
THE REAL ANNONYMOUS said on 14/Dec/17
Vince Basile

When I measured Arnold's height in January 1968 he was 1/2 inch shorter than the 6-2 claimed. Paul Graham and Bob Bruce were also 1/2 inch shorter than claimed.

I was 5-9.5 as claimed.

Many bodybuilders exaggerate height, weight, measurements, strength, and IQ! Some claim to be younger than they actually are. Albert Beckles did the opposite.

This is what Vince Basile posted at the bodybuilding site Getbig on a topic about bodybuilders lying about their heights and weights. He has no love for Arnold and I believe the 6'1.5 measurement
Jim Hopper said on 14/Dec/17
If Arnie was 6-2" George Bush Snr was 6-4" at 66 years old. Go google them together. Arnie was just over 6-0" prime. Now just under 5-11"

LordHumongous said on 13/Dec/17
I think he was 6 1.5" at his peak but he just rounded it off to 6'2 as it sounds better. Also his muscle bulk made him look shorter than his actual height so that's where all the confusion and conflicting views are.

Looks a solid 5'11 now and with those heels a 6 footer.
Barry Fl said on 13/Dec/17
That's at least three of us here now who say we've met Arnold in recent years and put him at between 5'11 and 6. Of course you've only got our word for it, but it's got to better than the word of the many who've never even seen him in real life.

@Kane
I found the segment you mentioned.

Arnold looks around 6'1range age 52. I don't get the 6' prime either. hehe
Mister lennon said on 11/Dec/17
Bridges was a solid 6'1 guy at peak. Only compare his heigt with other 6'1-6'2 guys.
Kane said on 10/Dec/17
Look up the WWF segment where we see Arnold face to face with Vince, Austin, and Rock. Anything below 6’ prime is a LIE.
sid said on 10/Dec/17
I'll assure you Arnold isnt 6'2 he's 6'1 but thats in his prime. He's probably shorter now.
jervis said on 10/Dec/17
Pierre there is know absolute proof that Bridges was 6ft1,or any absolute proof of any other of the celeb's heights here,you just take a guess and decide weather to believe them when they say what height they are.

where are the absolute proofs Jeff Bridges was really a full 6"1'

He's the same height or slightly shorter than Jeff Bridges in Stay Hungry

Obviously 186-187 at his peak and around 182 today

Click Here Arnold with Duncan Regehr who’s listed at 6,3 Duncan ain’t standing straight I would say if he was he would have 3 inches or a little more
jervis said on 8/Dec/17
The way her right foot is raised still looks a bit odd too me Pierre,but maybe its just a bad photo.I believe Arnold was around 6ft.5. and 6ft1 peak,because he looked a bit shorter than 6ft1 Jeff bridges .Bridges had very flat shoes on Arnold was bare foot and Bridges looked about 1 inch taller,Bridges footwear was about half an inch tick.

jervis said on 6/Dec/17
Pierre, that black and white pic of Brigitte and Arnold is slightly misleading,if you look at her right foot you can see its raised it looks to me that she and the others in the pic are on higher ground than Arnold.

That would make a certain sense - Brigitte was the star of the show and Arnold's role was only a glorified cameo. It would be natural for the filmmakers and still photographers to play up the Amazonian stature of their new discovery and not allow Arnold to steal *too* much of the limelight. There are pictures of Arnold and Brigitte when they were promoting the movie and just hanging out together where he does look a few inches taller.
Boba Fett said on 6/Dec/17
We'll most likely never know how tall peak Arnold was for definite, but I think it's safe to assume he was between 6 feet tall and 6'1" range.
Slimeball said on 6/Dec/17
Arnold was 6.1 at peak, at most 186 cm. We have pictures from the 80s proving he was 185-186 and there is no picture where he looks 6.2.
In early 2000s he looked 6 feet, especially with Tony blair.

Normal heightloss for a 70 year old man is 3 cm accoridng to science.
So the most accurate guees based on that and photo evidence is that he is 182 cm, at least 181 cm.

I was at an event recently were i was 6 meters away arnold when he stood on stage. He looked kinda wide and about 5.11-6 feet. It was the moment of my lifetime to se arnold in real life, i just sat and smiled.
Barry Fl said on 6/Dec/17
I think we can all make up our own minds on Arnold's height and allow Rob to do the same. People who've never met Arnold really should not be saying "for certain" what his real height is to the nearest quarter centimeter.
jervis said on 6/Dec/17

Rob I'd really like you met him in his prime. You would guess his height at 6ft tops. Weird you have Arnold at 6'1.5. he must be downgrade unfair height
Kurtz said on 5/Dec/17
Brigitte Nielsen was 5 11 at her prime.
Mister lennon said on 5/Dec/17
Arnold was solid 6'1 peak.
Stop the silly downgrade.
Scoobydoo said on 5/Dec/17
we have evident proofs that arnold was not taller than 6'1 in peak.

The question is; how tall is Arnold today?? strong 180 cm? 181cm? 182cm? very difficult to guess this.
Barry Fl said on 5/Dec/17
Danimal's 'comparison' pic is an interesting one, to say the least. Granted, Arnold isn't exactly posing in the 'Aftermath' screenshot, but he still hasn't kept his shape in the way that some bodybuilders his age have (Sly and Lou Ferrigno as more noticeable examples). His midsection has been very thick for a number of years (even when he was in T3, his nude scene was mostly shot from the chest up). For someone who has been in such phenomenal shape for most of his life, and prides himself on challenge and discipline, it's quite a surprise. He's not exactly an average 70 year old, but I think most people would expect a lot better.
Houss said on 5/Dec/17

His claim is very arrogant "people really LOOK UP TO ME"
Lambo said on 3/Dec/17
No way Arnold was ever 6'2" or even close. You've only got to look at him with Jeff Bridges in Stay Hungry, as others have said. Here's a pic of him right next to 6'0.5" listed Jeff Bridges. Arnold was 29 years old so prime height. Jeff is in shoes and Arnold isn't so let's assume that makes Jeff 6'1". There is at least 2 inches between them. Arnold was never more than 5'11".

Cole said on 3/Dec/17
Click Here: With Chuck Norris who is 5,8 Arnold looks about 40 odd Looks 5,11 tops
Jake said on 3/Dec/17
Arnold was definitely at least 6’1 peak. All of the heavy squatting and deadlifting he did during his competitive bodybuilding days probably contributed to his early height loss. If you read any of his bodybuilding books he talks about sqatting 500lbs and deadlifting 600lbs with pics to back it up. The discs in his spine have endured far more compression that the average person. We know that he has had at least one knee surgery, a hip surgery, a broken femur from a skiing accident when he was governor. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a vertebrae fusion surgery as well. If you look at his posture in any of his bodybuilding pics versus recent pics his whole body now looks compressed and out of proportion.

Mr6footer u are spot on with he's height mate
santgr said on 30/Nov/17
Well I don't know if Arnold was wearing lifts or high heeled boots in that Commando scene with Robert Lee Minor but one thing is for sure Robert Lee Minor was a real 6ft2 minimum maybe more likely a 6ft2.5 or 6ft3. How do I know that? Look his arms length when they both enter the airplane. These arms are definately not of a 6 foot guy or shorter.

@Mr6footer Are you some sort of conspiracy theorist? Because I can't really take you seriously with these sorts of statements.

186 cm peak 181-182 cm now. Lost slightly more than the average man his age (3 cm) due to roiding.
jervis said on 28/Nov/17
Rob what is your opinion on the Lee Minor clip?,remember this Guy is listed as 6ft2,and looks to have a least 3 inches on Arnold,making him look in the 5ft11 range just as Kevin Sorbo said he was.
Editor Rob
he certainly could make Arnold look under 6ft in their brief encounter.
Mr6footer said on 27/Nov/17
Arnold has always believed everyone he was taller. Even in this site Rob can't believe he was really a 6 footer
Jim Hopper said on 26/Nov/17
Not over 6-1 prime. Imo a solid guess from pictures and videos of him he was 6-0.5 prime. Now 5-11" max

he always looked 5ft11'5-6ft I say he was 6 ft in his prime

Some people say Arnie's 6'2'' or was when young, others 5'10''. Wider than average range for a celeb. Arnie had done extreme activity for many years and I suppose this could lead to height loss in later life as many have commented.

You guys ever read that interview with Dick Tyler back in 1969?

Arnie said that he was 6 foot 1 inch as a young guy when he started working out and still the same height . Its in print in the book 'West Coast Bodybuilding Scene - The Golden era'. I will see if I can get a copy from amazon.

and read the comment this site at Sarah Douglas page(just over the pictures Rob/Sarah) = she would have say in 1988 " i'm 5"9' "
Editor Rob
Douglas did say she 'grew' after fixing problems with hip, although in person isn't 5ft 10 like she claimed, I'd have said 5ft 9 still near 60 she looked, so 9.5 peak (1 inch more than she used to claim in the 70's, which was 5ft 8.5).
Cole said on 22/Nov/17
Jervis keep telling your self that then how comes with another guy last year arnold and callum Von moger is 6,2 he look the same standing next to him back then and now near a 6,2 guy then u see them stand next to guys now 5,10 he's the same height so many pics back then 6ft guys 6,,1 6,2 the queen in Conan 5,10 same height come on bro wake up
jervis said on 22/Nov/17
If Minor was 6ft2 then Arnold looks 5ft10.5 in comparison,which would make Jeff Bridges 5ft11,I think Minor had lifts to make him look much bigger than Arnold.so when Arnold beats him it makes him look more impressive,because he looks like such a big Guy.

Anonymous said on 21/Nov/17
Can I ask how it is that people can discern 1/2 inch? I believe AS was listed at 6ft until fairly recently then 'downgraded' to 5ft 11 1/2. How did you measure that?

I think nobody has been more 'transparent' about their height than AS for all sorts of reasons, not least that he was photographed for many years barefoot. That coupled with the unequivocal 6ft 1 1/2 inch measurement and his having said that he was down to a "worrying 6ft 1/2 inch". That all seems perfectly plausible and is supported by much evidence. Posting pictures with odd angles, people in the foreground, unseen footwear and the lay of the ground is pointless and misleading.

My final point is this. I met him about 8 years ago and he was dressed business smart with matching 'dress' shoes. He was comfortably 6ft 1 plus. The photo with the Queen in Conan adds further weight to the original height measurement.

Rob - have you seen him very recently? Did you measure him?
Editor Rob
no, I've not seen him, I have talked to several people who did last year and get the feeling at least in 2016 he was still within the 5ft 11 range

What if they made Bob Lee Minor looking taller for this Commando scene ? What if ?

Not only Pierre's has prove it. 've been watching a lot of pics and reading a lot of info. Comparing also Arnold next to 6'3 Lou Ferrigno( Today 6'2.5) of course he was never 6'5, but In Pumping Iron and boydibuilding years the 6'5 was comercial and fake he was 6'3 and tower Arnold for 3 inches. James Cameron not even 6'2 did and many 6'2 guys tower him. Arnold has a big bone frame and he is big but not a very tall guy. He is tall at 6' in his peak at most. In Red Sonja the girl is 5'11 to 6 and said Arnold was her same height 5'11.5. sigourney weaver also looks taller than him. No was and impossible going from 6'2 to 5'10. Arnold was 5'11.5 6 at morning, today 5'10 to 5'11.
Dany5 said on 19/Nov/17

Man dont try to convinced us or justified Arnold's height. You can clearly see those pics are not a good proof: angles? do you see flat floor?, The pic with Mike Katz is no way a proof look the bad angle. Arnold is closer to the camara and his proportions are shorter than him. You can see it man. Why you guys lie to yourself. In Pumping Iron you can see Mike was taller than him and he was 6'1. Arnold again was 6' in hi peak never over 183 cm and sometimes even he looks 5'11.75. Now adding 1 inch and with his shoes angles you can make a 6'1.5 fiction Arnold. Thanks.....

YEAH, the flat 6’1”/ 185 CM is clearly the better listing.
Some Guy said on 14/Nov/17
Rob, about Arnold's peak height back in the 80s: I never saw him taller than 6'1 even. He has a large, massive frame but he never looked like he could pass as a weak 6'1½-6'2 guy. Especially when I compare him in Conan to legit 6'2 Marc Singer in Beastmaster, I see a slight difference.
Dany5 said on 14/Nov/17

Dany5 said on 14/Nov/17
yea agree;
Kevin Sorbo also was hilarious about Arnold´s height. Arnold was tall yes, but sounds ridiculous when a 5'11.5- 6 man says he is 6'2 and that's the reason a lot of people get shocked when they meet Arnold. A lot of proofs show Arnold was 5'11.75 (6' morning height) in his 20's and 5'11 range 90's. Today strong 5'10. he lost maybe 3'5 cm max 1'5 inch loss . All 6'2 guys tower him even Cameron at a weak 6'2 did. He looks 6'1 in some movies in the 90' s with his boots. In Terminator 2 was described at 5'11.5

Love arnold massive fan but mr6footer is right 6ft in he's prime if that now without he's boots on 5,10 max now that is

At least some few believe the truth. I appreciat it Cole.
If someone thinks Arnold is 182 today in my opinion he would need glasses. 182 cm was his peak 183 with luck. Today he is a strong 5'10.

Are you serious? Have you even seen him? Got some known friends who did. Today he is not even 180 cm. He was recently here in Spain, Barcelona, and I have heard from a dude refering to Aarnold "he is short", They say this because the thought to meet a tall Arnold and young, being 70 is of course tall but I gurantee he looks average. He is 178 today 179 if that. A lot of people say this and I believe. 182 hahaha. Do you know how mucvh is 182? He looks 179 with luck

as a tall man because my friend is 170cm

In Conan I can not see Arnold over 6 foot. Why everybody had always believed he was 6'1.75? I can't get a reason. My eyes and a lot of pics give me the truth. I know how a 6'1.5 man looks barefeet and is really tall. Arnold was maybe 6,0.25 in his 20's at morning. The funny thing here also is people believe he went from 6'1.5 to 5'10 . Are you serious? He maybe lost 2 cm 3 no more please. He wa s from 182cm to 179cm talking in cm. (Maybe he lost 1 inch , but 3 is just ridiculous from 5'11.75-6' to 5'10.5 = Reality

santgr said on 11/Nov/17
Rob do you think he would still be a strong 6 footer during the time Terminator 2 was filmed (1990) ?
Editor Rob
yeah I think in that era he still looked 6ft+ range
HeightMan said on 10/Nov/17
Someone who had met him in the early 80s told me that Arnold wasn't "very tall", he guessed him at 180 - 183cm.
Cole said on 10/Nov/17
Sorry guys there's no way he's 6ft now I think he was pushing that in he's prime looks at the picture with the black bodybuilder and callum Von moger the bodybuilder is 6ft he's taller then arnie he said to me he would say arnolds 5,10 now and callum is 6,2 and slouching arnold would have boots on and callum still looks 3 inches taller
Mr6footer said on 10/Nov/17
Arnold Schwarzenegger never was over 6'. He was a 6 footer and maybe a little chance he hit 184 cm range.
With Patrick Swayze listed 5'10 ( Patrik was 176 cm 5'9.25)

With Robert Patrick good listing 179 cm peak or (5'10.75 tops)

Shall we just go with 5ft 2 and be done with it? Arnold's height seems to decrease every week and with this approach we can get ahead of the curve.
grizz said on 10/Nov/17
6'0-6'0.5˝ today?
hahahahahahha

I'd say Arnold is more around 6'0"-6'0.5" today. I think a full 2 inches of height loss is pushing it. I mean, the guy doesn't have terrible posture or anything.

I wouldn't say his posture is that great, Bwk. Not compared to someone like Stallone, let's say, who is always very upright whether sitting or standing. Arnold can hold himself upright on occasion, but often (especially when seated) he slumps and looks a lot shorter than those around him. And similarly when he stands a little too relaxed, he appears shorter too (especially if you think everyone around him is probably saying to themselves 'oh sh*t, there's Arnold Schwarzenegger, we better stand up straight'!).

Houss must have he's lifts on in that pic with seal
Original said on 8/Nov/17
He looked 179 compared with 171 Lewis Hamilton IMO, but he must have lost between 3 and 5cm, so peak at 182-184, more around 184 if you ask me.
Barry Fl said on 7/Nov/17
You can see how much height Arnold has lost since the early 80s. If you look at the well-known picture of him, Franco Columbu and Sylvester Stallone exercising outdoors. Looks like it was around 1983/1984. Arnold is leaning back but clearly much taller than Stallone. Sly is wearing some fairly chunky shoes while Arnold has flat deck shoes on. But if you look at the two men these days, there's nowhere near as much height difference. It's a hell of a change.

Barry Fl said on 7/Nov/17
Also I think many actors liked to say things like 'yeah, he's not that much bigger than me/we're about the same size' etc, because it made them look and sound good. I think Robert Patrick said something like this when they were filming T2, but he was playing a bit fast & lose with his idea of their sizes there. To say the least.
Barry Fl said on 7/Nov/17
I think whatever it is, Arnold never quite reached the full 6'2 and started losing height relatively early (hence didn't always look his billed height in movies). Combined with a poor posture and people's superhuman expectations of him, many thought him even shorter than he actually was. But since then he's lost further height, for whatever reason, and it really shows.
jervis said on 7/Nov/17
If Arnold was in the 6ft1 to two range in his youth,the pic with Butler is a good example of how tall the young Arnold would compare with the old height wise .

@Cole
This whole thing disturbs me , when he was young he looked so tall , and know he's only 5'10" , I still think he was a tall guy , but his current height is really a mysterious case

It is odd. I'm one of the few inclined to believe Vince Basille's measurement, but Arnold has sure lost noticeable height over the years. I've seen Arnold in person on three occasions. Twice I was close enough to have a good guess and compare him to my own height (5'10). The first time I guessed him at 6 foot, but he was wearing his cowboy boots. The last time he was wearing more regular footwear and I guessed him at 5'11 (but definitely no more than that). He looks shorter from a distance, though - his proportions have definitely altered. I don't know if it's just that he's thickened out as he got older and so looks more 'squat', or if there's something else. But yes, he's definitely got to that point where most people are surprised by - and comment on - his changed height.
Loka said on 7/Nov/17
Very strange this pic of Arnold with this bodybuilder... he really doesnt look like more than 5,10 today. He seems to have a disadvantage with the shoes though.
Cole said on 7/Nov/17
Houss yep but surely u can't lose that much height thething is even back in the day u see him with 6,2 guys James Cameron George bush sr the guy from running man with the glasses or even the queen in Conan and Bennett in commando said on interviews he wasn't much taller then them u read up on line loads of people who say they met him years ago at film premiers or they no people who worked on films with him all say they was shocked how short he was

So at time of Conan He was 210 pounds.
Almost natty!!!

He piled on some pounds for both Conan movies, but undoubtedly in the early 80s he was looking (at times) almost slim. It was a good healthy look and worked for him at the time while he was away from competitive bodybuilding and before he really dug into the movie roles.
Pierre said on 7/Nov/17
I think Vince Basile's height gauge could be a little generous by some milimeters and Arnold could have forced a little his posture during the measurement ,which is natural.I think he was more 6"1' after a good nap(so a good 6"1' after a good night rounded up to 6"2'),and so a strong 6"0' during the day.And Lou around 6"3' or strong 6"3'during the day(a good 6"4' after a good night rounded up to 6"5'),Frank Zane more a weak 5"9' or 5"9',Dave Drapper more a strong 5"11'(so 6"0' after a good night),Rick Wayne a strong 5"8'or 5"8'.This is my guess for this day...

Houss the guy got back to me today he said arnold is 5,10
Cole said on 6/Nov/17
Pierre's yea your right for me he's shorter then 5,11 he's 5,10 now or lower easy
Houss said on 6/Nov/17
Cole
In this pic the other guy is closer to the camera than Arnie this's so easy to see , and Arnie is slouching a little bit , in the pic with Gerard butler he look around 183/182 if butler is really 6'2"
Pierre said on 6/Nov/17
@Cole=Around 2.5 maybe 3 inches difference is that i see in the pic you posted with the 6"0' guy.The guy is closer to the camera but slouch a little,he has a long head(see the peak of their heads).Maybe advantageous shoes like Air max or Shox(around 1.25 inch),Arnold wear flat shoes like 0.6/0.7 inches imo.
Nice picture.
Cole said on 6/Nov/17
Grizz yea don't get me wrong I think he's in great shape for he's age just saying I don't think he was ever 6,2 I'm going 6 foot tops in he's prime
Kurtz said on 6/Nov/17

Grizz, in my opinion it is not a problem of age, but it is at all how long a human can maintain an unaturally mass of muscle.
On about 6'1" 240 pounds are not good and not healthy and not attainable without something.

Now the same do lot of nfl players that decreas their weight at beginning of their end carreer(see Ray Lewis for sample).
grizz said on 6/Nov/17
@Cole, regardless of his claims on the show,he gave a sound advice there: with age, you should slowly decrease your body weight, no matter how muscular/athletic you are. And he listened to his advice - he's now far leaner than during his prime days. I think he isn't over 190-200 lbs nowadays.
@HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 6/Nov/17
Rob, do you agree that he looks 5´10.75" at his low today?
Editor Rob
sometimes Arnie might look barely 5ft 11, it will become more apparent in the next 3 years, we will be having 5ft 10 estimates regularly.

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
