So Rob, you never answered my question. What will it take for you to lower his height to 5'11"? You can't have him the same height as Jimmy Fallon when he was clearly shorter than him by a noticeable amount.
Editor Rob
maybe this year
Tomy181 said on 23/May/17
You can see pictures with James Cameron who's height was 187 cm he is 1, 1'5 inch taller. So Arnold maybe in a good day hit 184'5 cm
AlexItaly said on 23/May/17
Willy4400, 6'2 guys can have all kind of proportions. They can be with low, medium or high baricentre, long hips or short hips in relation with the body. For example Ibrahimovic is 195 cm tall but still has a long torso and short legs and arms in comparison to his height and torso. Arnold was a classic between 6'1 and 6'2 guy. The only thing to discuss is if he was 186 or 187
jervis said on 23/May/17
Brody looks taller an he is not even a strong 6ft imo.
luntis said on 23/May/17
those who think Arnold was over 6'05 must be under 5'9 haha. You guys are blind and do not really know how a 6'2" guy looks! Arnold was never over 183 cm which means he was 185 cm with his shoes on! Never over please! Wake up and see the reality!
luntis said on 23/May/17
We just have to wait for Rob change his height at least 1'5 cm (Arnold height)
Hoppy said on 23/May/17
There's a lot of people throwing their toys out of their prams here lately, insisting that ARNOLD WAS NEVER OVER 6 FOOT GODDAMMIT! You guys don't know for certain, and are closing your eyes to the huge amount of evidence that actually he almost certainly was. Pull in your bottom lip fellows and if you don't like what you're seeing here, don't keep on visiting.
luntis said on 22/May/17
Rob is 174 cm and at that height u can't be as good as a 5'11 6 foot guy to guess Arnold height even if we met him. That's why thare are a lot of actors listed taller than they really are. And if Arnold still is listed 187 cm in this page I'm going to start thinking this page is a joke. Again any claim over 6'05 for Arnold is the biggest joke i've heard
luntis said on 22/May/17
that's too short ali. I also think he was never 6'2 but a strong 5'11'5 6 foot no more! over 183 cm is a joke as willy4400 said
Original said on 22/May/17
5'11 max for Arnold Peak WTF????? Too low, he was more about 6' to 6'1. I would guess something like 6'0.5". Now he is around 5'11 or even 5'10.75/5".
ali said on 21/May/17
you guys are hilarious. arnold was never over 6 feet. he was tiptoeing to look taller tham 5 10 rolando dantes. "independent verification by Vince Basille" . Haha what a joke. Arnold was a couple of inches shorter than legit 6'2 george bush senior. the latter is older than Arnold so shrinking excuses dont work. arnold peak height 180cm max. probably shorter. I cant even choose a peak height below 5'11 Rob.

My cousin is a well known CBBF legend. She has met him many times before and after he started dating Maria Shriver as her mum had a place on MV and knew other Kennedys. I read through these comments and am totally bewildered by how much people buy PR hype. Arnold has never been taller than 180cm. He wears lifts and now has shrunk to 177cm. He was never tall just custom footwear and good posture.

LOL (Tennis player who has claim his self 6'1 3/4 height) and I know he really is 187 cm because I met him ( I'm a spport reporter in Spain) Rafael Nadal is a weak 6 foot more or less my height maybe 1/4 inch shorter than me (182,8 cm). Nadal look exact same height as was Arnold in his peak who has never been over 183 cm!
willy4400 said on 18/May/17
I agree 6'1-6'1.5 I'm a great height gusser and I've been a movie fan my whole life. Arnold has never ben 187 cm in his life! His proportions are far away of 6'2 guys. People do not have any idea what is a real 6'2 guy barefoot. I guarantee 6'2 is very tall for man. I'm 6 foot barefoot and I am tall. People always think I'm at least 6'1. I used to see a lot of movies of Arnold and I know he was beteween 181-183 cm (peak height) at most. Today 178-179 cm. His militar hair cut maybe heels or even shoes could even looked him 6'1 any time. But he was never more than a strong 6 foot guy. Thank you! And I'M A BIG FAN!
Sven Bjarkensson said on 18/May/17
My dad knew him in his prime because he run heavy iron gym. 182cm is peak height he is shorter now. My dad is 190cm now and was 193cm and he towered over him and I can remember being very young child when he came home and was shocked how short he was and he noted his "special shoes".
6'1-6'1.5 Guy said on 17/May/17
This person has never been 187 or 188 cm in his life.
It was below the Reg Park (which was measured as 6'1, most likely in the morning).
Consequently, the growth of 6 feet at the peak is most plausible.
In addition, its proportions are not as great as those of 6'2 people.
Now he is lower than his son by an inch or slightly more (2.5-3 cm), about 180 cm will be equal to his height and not more than six feet at the peak. He did not lose more than 3 cm, because he will only be 70 years old.
Thank you.
BillisaLefty said on 17/May/17
Yeah, he seems the type to exaggerate his height. Probably a strong 5'1'' maybe 6' in his youth, strong 5'10'' today.
RisingForce said on 16/May/17
Arnold looked very close to Jimmy Fallon in that clip 3 years ago, certainly not an inch shorter:
Click Here I think you've seen the still too often, but you need to see the video to judge. Height will vary as their posture changes in the video, but they're very close. If necessary, I can take my own still to prove my point. Arnold only looks 180 cm or a weak 5'11" max with St-Pierre, but I think he could be dropping height in his lower back looking at his posture, plus, I'm not sure what each of that footwear adds. Also, these were both around spring 2014 when Arnold was promoting Sabotage so he was looking 182 cm with Joe Manganiello or 6 feet when he had more footwear, and as I showed a while back, Arnold could still pass for a 6 footer at times with Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney more than a year later when Terminator Genisys came out. If Rob were to downgrade him, I'd say 181 cm would be better(and that also happens to be the exact guess with 301 votes), but I still think 5'11.5" is fine until Arnold's next film comes out and we can see if he's shrunk more during the promo appearances, but yes 5'11" flat is arguable, though I think he can straighten up past it.

Rob, what's it going to take for you to lower Arnold to at least 5'11" (even though I think 5'10.5" would be more accurate)?
Editor Rob: danimal, I'd be stunned if he was under 5ft 11 although 5ft 11 flat is very possible.
Even next to guys like 5'9"-5'10" George St. Pierre, 5'11"-5'11.5" Jimmy Fallon and the 5'11" barefoot bodybuilder Dennis Wolf? What will it take for you to lower him to 5'11" flat?
RisingForce said on 14/May/17
Canson, I was referring to Vince Basille measuring Arnold in '69, so yes, that is independent verification. Doesn't mean it's proof as we never saw the measurement, but it adds up well. I actually don't believe the daughter measurement in '08, unless it was in shoes as there's no way Arnold was still 6'1" barefoot. I don't take Barkley serious because he looks significantly taller outside of maybe 1 or 2 pictures, but why don't you take his word when he says 6'5.5"? Of course, he contradicts himself so he must be wrong about one. But the accusation I'm making people taller is ridiculous. Barkley is one of the few I argue is taller than his listing. In most cases these days, I'm actually arguing someone is a bit shorter. But let's keep our Barkley argument to the Barkley page and avoid discussing me personally as I'm irrelevant to the evidence I post. Incidentally, Barkley with looser posture had 5" on Arnold who was looking up and had at least 1 cm advantage with his cowboy boots at the 2007 all-star game.
Canson said on 14/May/17
@Rising Force: hmm where is there "independent verificati N" of an "evening" measurement? Other than him "claiming" his daughter measured or that he was measured. Why do you take his claim seriously but not Charles Barkley? Seems you only take the people who make themselves taller

NFL nerd said on 26/Apr/17
Throughout his career he has been reported to be either 5'10-5'11 or 6'1-6'2 depending on who you ask. I'm inclined to go for the middle. I think he was 6 foot in his heyday. He's certainly lost at least an inch so he's 5'11 at best today. Perhaps a bit more which makes sense to him occasionaly appearing 5'10 today.
Peak about 183 or 84, today 179 or 180, more like 179.
RisingForce said on 13/May/17
Since we have independent verification of a 6'1.5" evening measurement for Arnold, then I have to believe he was a strong 187 cm peak and I have to believe his 6'1.75" since it adds up perfectly as an early afternoon or lunch time height with the evening measurement. Jani, that's not completely impossible about his current height as he could still look nearly as tall as his 184-185 cm Terminator Genisys co-stars, but then he certainly doesn't look over 5'11.5" here with 5'10" max J.K. Simmons:
Click Here And the difference with Jai Courtney seems greater here:
Click Here If Courtney is roughly 6'2" in those shoes, Arnold looks like he may fall short of 6'1" in those boots, which would make him no more than 181 cm as he's really not looking taller than Bruce Willis does with Courtney, especially considering footwear. I think 181 cm is entirely possible now, but I'll stick to 5'11.5" now myself as Arnold could certainly look a bit shorter if he's not standing as well, or at a camera disadvantage. If you look at Arnold in Eraser, or even as late as 1998 looking about 3 inches taller than 5'10.5" George Clooney promoting Batman & Robin, Arnold may have been at or near his peak height until around the 6th day. That's when I noticed him looking shorter and if you see all the injuries and surgeries he had in the 2000s, it makes sense.

can you show me an example of 3 in shoes
this one is only inch Click Here:
can't imagine something thicker than this
Running shoes have 1.5"-2" heels. Also, MANY men's dress shoes have 2" heels. When I was a teen I once saw a men's dress shoe that had a 3" heel.
Dude what are you saying. Running shoes vary tremendously. Some barely ad a half inch. There's one running shoe on the market with 2 inches that's it. You been on here for over a decade but lately your posts have been bananas
Editor Rob
you need to go up to the Masai Barefoot / Skecher shape ups to get into 2 inch range.
RisingForce said on 12/May/17
I think there can be some confusion over heel height and how much a shoe actually adds. As for Cuban heels, yes the typical range can be less, but they can get up to a full 2" heel, like these:
Click Here You really don't see men's shoes with a bigger external heel than that any more, that's about the limit, but you actually gain about a 1/4" less than the external heel. Depending on the overall thickness, a cowboy boot with a slightly smaller heel could give as much height. This is a 3" heel:
Click Here You'll now only see women's boots that look like that. If you want a new man's boot like that, you have no choice but to make it custom made. Of course in the 70s, you had the platforms with the very thick front and really big heel. The only thing I'm leaving out is some of those goth boots, some of those are really big, front and back, but I don't know exactly how big. As for motorcycle boots, I have an old pair and I don't think I've measured mine, but I can tell you the heel is smaller than either of my Cuban heels or cowboy boots. Arnold's in Terminator don't look much different than my pair. I've never seen Arnold wear a shoe I thought actually gave 2" and I'm not even sure I've seen him with a full 2" external heel. Maybe you can find some event in the 70s he had them, but I can't think of a movie role. As for dress shoes, yeah those will usually be around an inch give or take. This can apply to both the heel and the gain. We're likely talking a quarter inch more or less at the most in either direction. Basketball sneakers will usually add somewhere between 1" and 1.5", 1.25" is pretty typical.

His posture hair and shoes could make him look a bit taller, but I i guarantee he is beteween 176/78 cm I'm and honest 6 foot guy (182'5 cm evening) and I was much taller he is 5'10 at most. Said Sergyvich from Australia is 5'9 but claim 5'11. In the fitness industry also rises heights a lot. Steve Cook claim 6'1 and he is 5'11 a bit shorter than me. Fake world fake height worlds man. everyone in the fitness industry adds at least 1 and and a half inch. Marc Fitt claims 5'10 and he is 5'8'5!
Jani said on 11/May/17
I think that his current height and peak height here right now are pretty accurate. I think no more than a 6 foot 1.5 inch peak maybe even slightly lower (6'1"). I would still argue that he might be slightly over 5'11.5" still (around 6 foot).
G 5'11 said on 10/May/17
Yeah would be cool if Rob listed Jeff Seid, I personally believe he is somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11. Definitely not a legit 6'0". He also lies about his weight and arm size by a bit. Next to Said Sergeyvich (aka Chest Brah) who claims 5'11 but might really be more 5'9/5'10 range.
Click Here Here is with a 6'2 miscer. He's looking barely 5'10 in that one. However his brother zyzz was a legit 6'1 I believe nearly 6'2 as he said he got measured at 187cm. And looked that height with chest Brah.

Please don't overestimate the heel on cowboy or motorcycle boots. 2 inches on either of these would be unusual - it's normally a little less. Compare this to a regular dress shoe, which will be 1 to 1 and a half inches, and you'll see that the height advantage isn't as much as you might think. So don't let people put Arnold's height down to his Terminator boots (regular bike boots, I wear similar myself as I ride) or cowboy boots. At best they'd give him an inch on a man wearing very flat shoes.
Cowboyboots vary, I have a pair that give 1.8 inches but there are indeed types that give legit 2 inches or even a small fraction more. Its the biggest non-elevator footwear that you can get as a man. A typical cuban heel is 1.5 inches so a good bit less, most running sneakers are 1-1.4 inches (1.4 is huge ones like Nike air max). Timberland Boots are also around 1.5 inches.
Dress shoes can fall between 0.75-1.25 in, better models have a thicker insole. Under that you have converse type shoes that are lucky to give 0.5 inch most of the time.
So Arnie would have had an inch on alot of guys with his boots on, still with cowboyboots on he did look over 6'1" at his peak. He would have been around 6'3" with that kind of footwear, he certainly didnt look 4 in under 6'5" Tom Hoonan filming Last action Hero.

Correct, Michael. Cowboy boots for instance usually add 1.6"-1.7" while Converse sneakers would add almost exactly 1" less. My motorcycle boots add a bit less than either pair of my cowboy boots, I think. Some basketball sneakers are pretty close to that. Biggest heels you see for men, are 2" Cuban Heels, which I have, but I don't think actually add a full 2". The shoe almost always adds a bit less than the size of the herl due to the angle of your foot.

He's certainly lost at least an inch so he's 5'11 at best today. Perhaps a bit more which makes sense to him occasionaly appearing 5'10 today.
There is so much info on the web, I think once you go through it(reports of his height on both sides, his choice in footwear, shoe lifts...etc), the 6'1-6'2 narrative is just not believeable. In the bio up top we have 2 sub 6 foot claims. Even Roger Ebert claimed 5'10-5'11. No one has ever suggested he was 5'6. And I don't find the 5'10-11 camp to be haters. Celebrities typically embellish their height, same with bodybuilding.
He also shares the same build as me which can allow you to be perceived taller(short torso, long legs). Im certainly not a celebrity, but at 5'11 1/4 barefoot the shortest Ive ever been guessed at was 5'10. I'm usually guessed 5'11-6'1. Ive once been guessed 6'2. Ive never been guessed 3 inches shorter than my claimed height like Arnie has.

His current height needs to be updated. Even Rob once said on the

opus said on 21/Apr/17
Arnies lost maybe 1" to 1.5" max. Any more height loss than that and it would be because of him either looking like a hunchback or he'd need a wheelchair. in my opinion, any height loss more than 3cm is going to be extremely significant, meaning obvious curvature of the spine etc. I'd put Arnies peak at 184-183cm meaning a shoe height of anywhere from 185-188cm.
Justin said on 21/Apr/17
Danimal is spot on Arnie was 187cm tall or 6ft1.5 peak evening height as Vince Basille measured him and why would be lie. Many examples of Arnies 6ft1.5 height in his bodybuilding days then lost a little say 1 cm during the 80s but now stands around the 5ft11 mark as I really think all the heavy lifting has affected his height and old age.

One thing worth bearing in mind is how the media love to downplay celebrity statures - just look at all the interviewers and journalists who delight in revealing that Stallone "is actually much shorter than you'd imagine". And yet I don't think I've ever read an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger in which the journalist has done this - they all peg him (still) at 6 foot, and 6 foot 2 in his younger days. Yes, they may have got these figures from official publicity, but none of them ever write about him being smaller than they'd expected. Only anonymous people slagging him off on internet forums.
------
True. The media especially loves to downplay the heights of celebrities who they suspect to wear lifts or elevator shoes. This is why the media constantly portrays Tom Cruise at a ridiculous 5ft3 or 5ft4, when in reality he's easily over 5ft7. While society in general often makes fun of short guys, the short guys who wear lifts will always be the ultimate laughingstock, since it makes them look insecure. For example, a 5ft6 guy who wears 3 inch lifts to make himself appear 5ft9 will be ridiculed much worse than a 5ft6 guy who doesn't, even though the one who wears lifts will look taller.
Jordan87 said on 20/Apr/17
In that Pic I think Arnold appears taller his hair is higher than Normal and if it is the T-2 Getup he has pretty thick soled Boots on. That's around 1992 So Arnie was early to mid 40's. I think he could broken the 6 foot mark there in that pic.
In The First Terminator Arnold was Noticeably heavier. He was around 235, But by 1992 he was maybe 205-210 I'm guessing.

Arnie didn' lose 3 inches, he lost about 2, meaning 5/6 centimetres, that is perfectly logic for a 70 year old men who trained as a beast for most of his life. My dad is the same age and was an even 6 in his youth. When I reached my height of 187 cm. in 1999, he was not so much shorter than me. Now he is clearly shorter at about 5'11. If my dad lost 3 centimetres from his forties through his seventies, it's understandable that Arnie lost 5/6. His torso really looks compressed nowdays. There is no doubt he was between 6'1 and 6'2 in his youth, about 186/187 cm. It is clear from measurements and comparisons with other actors and people. Rob's listing is simply spot on.
This would be the end of every discussion if no haters existed in this world.
He's lost at least 3". He was 6'1.5"-6'1.75 and is 5'10.25"-5'10.5" today.

Arnold is 5'10- 5'10- 3/4 nowdays. Taller in his prime.

RisingForce said on 13/Apr/17
Jordan87, I disagree. Rob at a solid 5'8" is about an inch below Joe's mouth, while Arnie is just below Joe's eyes, that's why I guessed just under 6 feet (i.e., 182 cm) 5'10" is below Joe's nose, while Arnold is comfortably above it. Arnold doesn't have much hair any more so that's why I see him just below Joe's eyes, but when Arnold has better posture and possibly a bit more footwear, he at least reaches Joe's eye:
Click Here As for height loss, I think Arnold has lost a solid 2", maybe slightly more.
GP said on 13/Apr/17
Bodybuilding doesn't cause 3" height loss. Ferrigno, Columbu, etc. didn't lose 3" of height. They did the same stuff as Arnold did. Logically it would make sense for Lou to lose the most height since he was taller but that's not the case. Lou is 6'2" nowadays and was most likely 6'3" + during prime. He always had 3" on Arnold. Now if Arnold had some serious health condition like Parkinson's or had a back surgery then you could maybe make an argument that he has lost lot of height. Isn't it interesting that when Arnold became governor, all of a sudden everyone started noticing that he wasn't 6'2" or near that? is it possible that he didn't have the movie magic to make him appear taller than he was? Arnold was a tall man during the 60's since that generation wasn't as tall as nowadays. Even when he got into movies, it was a different time when height wasn't an issue with studios so Arnold was the tall and massive guy.
Regarding Basille's claim, i personally don't believe him since that man has lied numerous times and fabricated lot of stories which anyone can search on the net. Van Damme's mother measured him and he yelled out 177 for everyone to hear loud and clear. Rob upgraded him immediately after than but then realized that was far off, so he went back down. There is only a small percentage of celebrities that tell the truth about their height and Arnold is no exception.
Jordan87 said on 13/Apr/17
Danimal,
I am by no means An Arnold Hater and my Favorite Sci-FI Flick of All time is : Terminator ( 1984), but you really think Arnold lost 3" of height? I'm not with the crowd that think he was 5'10, but 3" is alot of height to shrink. Even Arnold himself claims he only lost 1-1/4" ( See above comments Rob Posted about him Saying he dropped from 6'1- 3/4 to 6'0.5")
IMO I have Arnold with Big Joe Manganiello at age 66 at 5'10-3/4"( He is actually a little more than an inch under Joe's Eye level which is 6'0 in Rob's Picture with Him- Proven). In His heyday I could see 6'0- 1/2. Not quite 6'1- 3/4 though.

Chubby said on 12/Apr/17
Arnold sure hangs around a lot of big guys! Joe Manganiello, Ralf Moeller etc. Those guys are giants. It's no wonder he often looks dwarfed! I think he's about 5'11 now, at best. But I sure believe 6'1 years back.
Jordan87 said on 11/Apr/17
Rising Force,
Basically Arnold looks about 5'10.5" In your Pictures. His Head is a little under an Inch Under Joe's eye Level, which is about 6'0 in his picture with Rob. Arnold pulls off Solid 5'10.5" With Joe ( Proven Minimum 6'4-1/2") and they have the same footwear.
To me this Eliminates Arnold being a 5'10.5" In his prime since he pulls off this height in his mid 60's. He was certainly taller than That in his prime.

RisingForce said on 6/Apr/17
6'1.5" was his evening height at peak, at least according to his measurement, which adds up with his 6'1.75" claim, which was his legit height, imo. Carl Weathers is still close to 6'1", around 6'0.75" so probably a 6'1.25" guy at peak and Arnold was a bit taller. Arnold still looked about 3" taller than a 5'10.5" Clooney in the late 90's and always had 2" on 5'11.5" Bruce Willis in the 90's. He was also taller than 6'1" Tom Arnold in True Lies. As for current, the shortest he looked was a weak 5'11" or more 5'10.75" with Georges St-Pierre and 5'11" max with Jimmy Fallon, but both those were in 2014, the same year Arnold still looked 182 cm at only 5" shorter than 6'4.75" Joe Manganiello in similar footwear:
Click Here And those pics from the Terminator premiere were Arnold was still looking around 6 feet was a year later. I think he shrunk to around 182 cm sometime during the end of his 2nd term as Governor or when he was just returning to movies and has basically stayed in that 182 range at least through his last movie.

Triple H is closer to 186.5cm or 6ft1.5 in recent years, he has lost a bit of height. On top of that, Arnold is closer to the camera, giving him an advantage. If both stood at the same distance, Arnold would not look over 180cm.

Agree with Christian give maybe sans 1/4" prime. He was weak 6'1/strong 6' prime up to a full 6'1. I have a relative who measured around 6'1 barefoot (was at worst weak 6'1") who was identical when he met him. He was not "only" 5'11" peak

Arnold clearly has worn shoe lifts and big boots his entire public life. He is a shade over 5'10" Sigourney Weaver herself is taller than Arnold barefoot. This is obvious because another serial lift user Sylvester Stallone is literally the same height in some photos of the pair proving they both use lifts and are similar heights not separated by 4 inches minimum. His height is exaggerated he was a shade under 6ft peak height. His biceps were also (NEVER 22 inches but 19 inches). His peak height was 5ft 11.75in with Lou Ferrigno 6ft 2 inches real height.

Arnie does have a higher leg to torso ratio giving him the illusion of more height. But there are far to many early pictures of him with no footwear "assistance" that puts him FAR away from the 6'2 or even 6'1 claims.
GP said on 3/Apr/17
Lot of the believers of 6'1"-6'2" Arnold should watch The Running Man. Arnold was about 4" shorter than Yaphet Kotto who was 6'4". Throughout the entire movie they used lot of the camera angles to minimize the difference but there are some scenes where you can see them head to toe and Arnold looking about 4" shorter. I have always believed that he was 184cm and the measurements were in shoes.

Rob, you have met "ultimate warrior", even if the pic is disappeared. You said he was clearly far from a legit 6'3". And your 6'1.5" estimate is a little bit generous for ultimate warrior.

I personally helped clear Arnold through U.S Customs when he first moved to California, he is not as tall as he wants some to believe. Possibly 5'10 to 5'11.
With no knowledge of Mr. Universe, I was amazed on his stature, I expected someone a lot taller. Fully clothed it's apparent he was not flexing for me.
RisingForce said on 31/Mar/17
LOL, do some hate Arnold so much that they think his arms were only 18"?
Click Here As for his height, it's more than possible that Arnold WAS 6'1.75" midday and 6'1.5" evening in 1969, but only 185-186 cm 15-20 years later when he was in his late 30s/early 40s. Given Arnold's profession, a 1 cm loss by that age wouldn't be impossible. Although he could still look taller such as with Carl Weathers, but the point is, we don't know Arnold was still at his peak height in the mid to late 80's.
mister_lennon said on 31/Mar/17
Pierre,for sure. Both boyle and lloyd lost some heigth in the 80s. Boyle looked 6'2 peak and a strong 6'1 in the 80s. Lloyd, strong 6 at peak and weak 6 in the 80s. In that movie the dream team, boyle looked a little bit taller than lloyd.
BenRichards said on 30/Mar/17
Franco Columbu had 18 inch arms, but you need to remember he was only 5ft3, so 18 inch arms on a person of this height would look huge, whereas on a person of 6ft it would not look as impressive.
Arnold had 20+ inch arms in his prime no doubt about it.

Agree with Lak on the height. My arms are 17" and they look like string compared to Arnold's - even in his action movies where he'd obviously lost some serious size from his competition days (check him out in the very early 70s - even by Pumping Iron he was much lighter). I once measured a guy who had 21" arms, but he was a chubby tubster, more a powerlifter than bodybuilder. But he was just over 6 foot tall, and from looking at the size of his arms I could easily believe that 70s Arnold had 21" when he was in peak form.

You're obviously not a bodybuilder, James. 19" arms, big as they are, are pretty common around the gym. If you'd seen them, and compare to Arnold's pictures at his peak form, you'd know for sure he wa smuch bigger. Guy's arms were freaky large, and thick - well over 20".

Click Here but he could look 5'11.5" max with 5'10" J.K. Simmons:
Click Here and he'd only look 5'11.5" if Stallone was still a weak 5'9":
Click Here But since I think Stallone was 5'8.5" max by this time, Arnold looks more 5'11" flat. I guess his varying height is a mix of posture and Arnold sometimes wearing boots with pretty big heels. Does it look like he's lost any more height in these last couple of years?

How tall do you think he is today in 2017 at 70 years old? I don't seem him above 5'10.5" today.
I'd have to see good comparisons(full body shots) of Arnold in 2017 among others with known heights before I could guess since it's been almost 2 years so he could have easily shrunk more since Terminator Genisys. Even though my estimate was 5'11.5", I had seen him look as short as 5'10.75" and I could see closer to 5'11" flat as possible.

Has he lost more height since the last Terminator since I haven't really seen a good comparison since that time, but I'd have said 5'11.5" was right then, a height I believe he was down to by the Expendables 2 and Last Stand in 2012-2013. At his peak, he often looked tall enough for me to believe his claim of 6'1.75" (around noon) and Basille's 6'1.5" evening measurement, but 185-186 cm is arguable too. Anything below 184 cm peak is
trolling.

Clip with Cedric Mcmillan Bodybuilder...Cedric is 6 feet 1, so Arnold should at least get the nod of 5 feet 11 3/4 inchs to 6 foot! He doesn't give the best posture at all times!
AlexItaly said on 18/Mar/17
Arnold was on level with 6'1.5 Bridges at his prime, a little taller than 6'1 Weathers and 2 inches shorter than weak 6'4 Ferrigno. So it is pretty clear he was a weak 6'2 at 187 and maybe 186 at night. Now he has shrunk, it is evident, and must be around 182. This the truth and is pretty much a no brainer. All the hype about his height is made up by haters.

Ian C said on 14/Mar/17
Well, Gregory, I do respect anyone who becomes a movie star, because that is a difficult thing to do, and there is no denying Arnold's achievements in that regard. He is also said to be a nice man, which is admirable right there. But watching him try to approximate human speech in a movie is painful. There really is no other movie actor I can think of who is consistently as bad. John Wayne, for example, was limited to playing the same character over and over, but it was an appealing character and he did it well. When you watch Wayne do his standard hero guy you never get the impression that it's just a man reciting dialogue. But you always do with Arnold. He's like a man who can't quite hit any notes singing a song. You can tell what he means, but it's still terrible.
Arnold always looks self-conscious, even in still photographs. He even looked ill at ease when he was doing posing routines as a bodybuilder. My own guess, admittedly whimsical, is that if your job involves looking at yourself in the mirror you develop an unhealthy inability to stop thinking about yourself long enough to interact normally and comfortably with anyone else. Notice, for example, how strained and uncomfortable Melania Trump always looks. She's obsessed with how she looks, and can't just shuck the habit of always thinking about her appearance. Well that's what Arnold is like.

Arnies peak was at least 6ft1 and more like 6ft1.5 in my opinion.
His height now judging by recent pictures at events against other celebrities looks about 5ft11.75

My uncle was on a security detail for him when he visited my uncles city to give a speech. He has always claimed Arnold is about 5'9. My uncle is 6'2. He saw him another time and He appeared taller. He had some height enhancing boots, my uncle claimed the thickness of the soles were "laughable".
I have to say, my uncle is a square, even by police standards. I would take his word over a major majority. Even if I just knew him and he wasn't my uncle.
But you can take it for what you will.

Ian C said on 12/Mar/17
Get a load of how Arnold is shot in the movie Escape Plan. Almost exclusively from the chest up. You see no more of Arnold in that movie than you see of a television news anchor reading the news from behind a desk. Arnold has a fight scene that is edited so that you can't see his body. It's as if he were Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, and steps were being taken to conceal that he was a paraplegic.
Why am I so (morbidly and maliciously) interested in Arnold's physical decrepitude? Part of it is a nasty schadenfreude where I'm delighted that a man who once so physically superior has now been ruined by age, but it's also the product of a visceral dislike of bodybuilding, in which men who are already physically superior deliberately torture their bodies to produce a grotesquely unnatural appearance that is essentially unhealthy, and all for the sake of a strange and slightly crazy vanity.
And besides, Arnold Schwarzenegger was always an amateurishly inept actor, who never read a line of dialogue in a realistic human tone in his life. It annoys me that a man who can't act became a major movie star. It's the same annoyance I feel that Madonna Ciccone was a successful musician.

Jeff Bridges has 1 inch over prime Arnold

Granted, you cannot see their footwear on these ones.
However...
Look at 0:49 from this video
Click Here You can clearly see them from head to toe- Jeff wearing some Converse-styled sneakers, Arnie barefoot - Bridges edges Arnold by almost 1 inch, which means, with 0.5in (my estimate) footwear Arnold was no more than 6'1 at his prime.
Smurfs said on 10/Mar/17
I still say Arnold was 6'1" way back when. But there's no doubting he's dropped enough since then for his height to surprise people. Let's say he's 5'11 now (at best). Combined with poor posture - as he often displays - and his 'bigger than life' image, people are surprised to find he doesn't tower over them. I think what we have here is a fairly significant height loss working with people's preconceived notions. He's a little more than average height.

Today he may only be 5'11 but prime no way. He was easily at least a strong 6' and I've verified with a cousin who met him that also claimed 6'1". Of course my cousin (my mom's cousin) is much older so I never saw him prime and he may have been a strong 6' or weak 6'1" but nothing less as they were identical

I noticed the sneakers Jeff Bridges was wearing in Stay Hungry when he was talking to a barefoot Arnold had a thin sole, a 2cm sole possibly or even less, Jeff was 1.87m with sneakers on, so Arnold was most likely 1.84-85m, we might also say he was 1.85m,( 6'0.75") in order to round up a bit. Like I said, 1.84-85m could've been close to his real height.

Considering he stated on camera during the filming of running man in 1986 that he stands 186cm and Guinness listed him at 185cm in 1982 there is a very strong chance he was not 6'2
He also doesn't look 4 inches taller than ~5'10 Bruno sammartino in the 1970s and looks shorter than George Bush senior on the campaign trail in 1987/88

I would believe the peak height of 6'2" but no taller, he has shrunk now around the 6'0" mark
Bob said on 4/Mar/17
I stood next to him on numerous occasions in the late 1970s. My guess is that he was about 6'1". I doubt if I could be off by more than an inch, so I find claims that he was 6'3" or 5'10" to both be out of the question.

I find believing Arnie a flat 5ft11 equally hard to swallow! No apologies necessary in my opinion! He's got to still be a good 5ft11.5 - 5ft11.75! The picture above does him no favours whatsoever. It should be flushed down the toilet. I thought it was crap as soon as I saw it!
Criss said on 2/Mar/17
Hi guys,
I have some pics for you and I leave you judge them. If Rob has time, he can comment.
I can say that Arnold comparing to 6.2 people looks shorter (of course depends on what kind of shoes they wear and if they are really 6.2)
Example:
Ronny Cox (6ft 2in total recall)
Click Here
Bush senior (6ft 2in)
Click Here
Click Here
Or shorter than Lou Ferrigno (6ft 4in)
Click Here
Click Here
Taller than 5ft 11in.5 Robert Patrick:

These are few examples I can give you. I have more.

In Stay Hungry there is a clear full-body shot of a barefoot Arnold standing next to Jeff Bridges who is wearing shoes. Arnold is barely shorter than Jeff, who is 6'1" and would be 6'2" or more in shoes. Thus we can conclude that Arnold was indeed around 6'1" in his youth.
You can tell just by looking at Arnold's proportions today that his torso is collapsing into itself, his arms and legs look too long for his body.
You're absolutely right, look in this pic how longe are his armes comparing to his body

Not sure if I posted here before but some pretty fun claims on here.
Anything from an average Arnie to obvious retouched and fake photos making him look even bigger.
Everybody take a breath he competed and performed "Barefoot" there is no way he was anything less than 6 1 prime.
Next he has shrunk almost disturbingly height and size due to over training and then not at all.
The guy is very old two decades past 50 even Sean C, Moore and Brosnan dropped noticeably after 60.
He looks as listed now last I saw, do not compare to sly or mel they get taller with age dubiously so...
The fact is he is over 5 10 now and was never over 6 2 the most likely is exactly as listed.
firecracker said on 25/Feb/17
serious people know he was never 6'1.5"(187cm). Pure fake. 6'1.5" is just an inch and half shorter than 6'3". ahahah, you really don't know how tall is a legit 6'3" (190cm). he looked clearly taller than most bodybuilders of his era (excluding lou ferrigno) because most of them were 5'5"-5'8"(165-173cm). Arnold schwarzenegger was max 5'11.5"(182cm) barefoot, nothing more. And today he struggles with 5'10"(177cm)

At least 50% of people are actually 2 inches shorter than their claimed height. arnold claimed 6'1.5"(187cm) but he was 5'11.5"(182cm). lou ferrigno claimed a fake 6'4"(193cm), but he was 6'2"(188cm). Stallone claimed a fake 5'9"(175cm), but he was 5'7"(170cm). There is a fake world and a real world.

I think you've a point here. Arnold is the kind of guy who hates anything slowing him down, and he's spoken in past interviews about his disgust of ageing. He's had many injuries and operations over the years, and rarely spoken about them. The guy even tried to keep his heart surgery secret from people closest to him.
Ian C said on 12/Feb/17
Yet more evidence that Arnold has bad legs: He recently appeared on a late night talk show, and he was wearing one of those plastic boot casts on one of his feet, and claiming that he had suffered an unspecified injury while working out. I suspect that he is badly arthritic (because he's on the cusp of 70) and can't bear to admit that he is now an old man with an old man's health problems. So he's trying to camouflage his mobility problems by claiming an injury.
Paul said on 13/Feb/17
I can't believe you guys are so fiercely determined over the matter of 2cm in the height of a man you have never even seen in real life. Let's face it, none of you KNOW.
