Canopus said on 2/Jan/11
He is about an inch taller than 5'4" (5'3.5" on here) Amy Adams in Night at the Museum 2. She has maybe a slight shoe advantage in the movie of 0.5". Usually movies aren't great judges of height but the height difference is pretty consistant through out. I will be generous and say 5'6".
Chris said on 15/Dec/10
Robert Downey Jr = 5'8
Tom Cruise = 5'8 (seems more like 5'7)
Jack Black = 5'5
He looks around an inch shorter than Tom, an inch taller than Jack, and between 2 to 3 inches shorter than Rob, I'd say 5'6.

Stiller is 5'6" at best
Ed T. said on 24/Jun/09
For anyobody on this page to suggest that Stiller might be 5'8" or anything close to it is absurd. Ben Stiller is a short guy! I would not be surprised at all if Stiller is below 5'6". No way is he above 5'6" barefoot. 5'8" is within the "average" range of height. How can anybody actually watch a Ben Stiller movie annd come away thinking he is of average or close to average height? As Rising Force has stated, Tom Cruise appears to have a good 1.5" on Stiller. Even if you want to believe that Cruise is 5'8" ( personally, I don't believe Cruise is one bit over 5'7")than the maximum Stiller could possibly be is 5'6.5"
Ejel Khan said on 24/Jun/09
Ben Stiller is a notorious short-arse. Few years ago, he appeared on Jonathan Ross's show to promote Starsly & Hutch with Owen Wilson. He was 7" shorter than 6'1" Ross, but Wilson appeared a legit 5'11".

Ricky gervais says he's 5'8" and I believe that. And he's the same exact as But there's some stupid people on this page..
Seb said on 12/Jun/09
Just saw him in Museum 2. I love the work he does, and the ability he has at having fun at himself. There's a scene where there is constant fun been made at his being not only short, in terms of "honest Abe" the gigantic animated statute that picks him up, but also in terms of being small even for a normal human male. He's cool with humour, cool with his size.. hey... he's just cool.

Parker says on 27/Apr/09
Yes I saw that Mike. Really can't understand why Cruise gets so much crap about his height when he is easily 1.5 inches taller than Stiller, maybe even 2.No press publication would ever give Cruise 5'8.
Not only that but Stiller only claims 5'7" himself! But yet they give him 5'8"? Tom's lack of height is so exaggerated that it's ridiculous. Some act like he's Pacino's height or Hoffman's height. Hell, some even claim he's 5'4" which would make him the same height as Joe Pesci or Michael J. Fox!

Clay, you are wrong again. The average american male is 5-9.1 exactly, not 5-9.5
Clay said on 23/May/09
"Clay you're completely wrong. The average man height is 5"9(1.759cm) so 5"11 is more than just, 5"11 is confortably above average".
Juandi, The average height for a male in America is 5'9.5. I'm 6'4 myself so I would not consider anything uder 6 foot to be tall. 5'11 is at best on the tall side of above average.

Coco said on 14/May/09
Did anyone see Stiller on American Idol last night? He is teeny tiny! And thin! He's smaller than Seacrest. If I had to fathom as guess, I'd say 5'3" or so.
jf said on 12/May/09
5'6" sounds right on. He is legitimately short. I don't even know if I buy 5'6.5" for him. He may even be just under 5'6". His dad is probably about 5'3". I know leading actors are short but it's pretty amazing that he's had so many major roles in films at his diminutive height.
Chris said on 8/May/09
Ben Stiller is way, way shorter then 5'6.5"! I met him and his wife in Vegas and they are both tiny. I would guess her to be around 5'3" and he was noticeably shorter. Just google pictures of the two of them side by side and you can see that she is a little taller then him in most of the images. Even if she was wearing 3" heels, which is doubtful, he would be 5'4" to 5'5" max. But in reality he is closer to 5'1" or 5'2"

yes.. finally ben stiller frame has drop on this site.. i always suspect his this small at 5ft6 range. in Dodge Ball he even looks no way more than 5ft5.5(166cm) beside 6ft5 Vince Vaughn in that film. But i"ll gave him a little lower at 5ft6.0 i bet in reality.

"5'11'' is just barely above average, lol."
Clay you're completely wrong. The average man height is 5"9(1.759cm) so 5"11 is more than just, 5"11 is confortably above average.

Ben Stiller is a solid 5ft 7 without shoes (arround 1.72cm)

Donatello said on 9/Jan/09
I'd say Stiller is right around my height. Slightly over 5'6" in the evening. I don't see him ever going lower then 5'6" but I also don't see him being any higher then 5'7" even if it is first thing in the morning. Rob has it pretty much spot on.
RisingForce said on 16/Dec/08
I think he's 5-6 out of bed. He always looks short, it's funny how people say he's 5-8 when he's never looked it and claims 5-7 himself.
People have to get it into their head that 5-8 guys don't look that short and usually look about average. Stiller has always appeared like a 5-6 guy on screen to me. Even long before I came to this site or even thought much about celebrities heights I would have guessed around 5-6.
truth said on 16/Dec/08
met him he's 5'6, maybe a little less. He's very short, but a nice guy

He's 5-6 and probably not any taller. He's shorter than 5-6 1/2 Jon Stewart.

RICHARD said on 24/Nov/08
Just watched Tropic Thunder and Stiller looked a solid 5'6 guy to me even next to Downey,Jr. and Black,who aren't much taller than him. He was also very ripped in this film to so maybe that made him look shorter due to all that weight. 5'6 sounds good for him now,and I thought he looked 5'11 in one movie.HA
Jenny said on 20/Nov/08
Nah! Its kinda cheesy....Unless, Zoolander himself would ask me to =) I think the reason why he seem short yet taller is that he has bigger head (kinda long forehead)..and yes, he "might" be wearing special shoes that makes him taller. But this guy is cool and cute =)
leonari said on 19/Nov/08
Jenny: Please send the pic. All evidence is good
jess said on 18/Nov/08
i saw him at disney land and that man is SHORT!!! haha
im 5'7 1/2 and he was like to my mouth or nose.. haha so i would say hes around 5'4 or 5'5
leonari said on 18/Nov/08
I always hear that he is soo much shorter than people expect him to be. Rob has him probably spot on. He had him 170 cm 1 year ago and that was without a doubt a bit to much. Never is he below 5'6" but he ain't no 171 likeyou anonymous say either. I watched Tropic Thunder yesterday (man that cracked me up-funniest movie I have seen in a loooong time) and there are certain scenes where he looks very short. Jack Black is a guy who is not as short as he seems on screen. His frame make him look 5'5" when in reality he is Stillers height or very very close to it. But one thing is for sure: Ben Stiller was in crazy ass shape for that movie. Bad ass for a guy over 40. Hell I say his arms look better than Matthew McConaugheys arms who is a fitness buff. Impressive.
anonymous said on 18/Nov/08
I hear interviews that he is taller than people think. Next to chris rock, he looked 7 cm shorter. I would say he's 171cm max and rove is 173cm, he said it himself in one of his episodes.

Ben Stiller was 1

Tellem: I agree. I would bet a lot of cash that he is a flat 168 cm. TAnonymous: Tom Cruise always looks taller than Stiller.With or without lifts. Toms limbs look longer. Everything looks bigger...except for his head. man...Stiller would be 5'5" if he wouldn't have this huge head.

He looks the same height as 170cm tom cruise. I thought he was shorter. In starsky and hutch, he looked tall. Maybe camera effects.

I ws right next to Ben recently - I'm 5'-8" - he was TALLER! He obviously has lifts in his shoes. Thus, difficult to tell his height.

problem with that is,ive seen stewart look 5-6 and 5-7.and he claims both heights.i never printed a 5-7 pic of stewart and i from 2 years ago.i dont think.then i have one from 1993 where he looks 5-6 next to me.
leonari said on 26/Oct/08
Just found a great picture on gettyimages.com where you see Ben Stiller and Jon Stewart next to each other. Same posture. Looks like same footwear. Regular dress shoes. Jon Stewart is taller by 2 cm. Or at least 1.5 cm.There is no way Ben Stiller is 170 cm. i do think Jon Stewart is exactly the height you have him listed at which is 169. Just go to getty and type in" Jon Stewart Stiller "and it will pop up. Btw: Chris Rock is in the same pic. Also good for comparison.
ROB: you changed his height??Right?? You shaved off a cm if I am not mistaken.By looking at recent pics i came to the conclusion there is a good chance he is 168 cm. What is your opinion? Please reply. I appeciate it. Thanks.

5'9 - No chance

There is big possibility that toms footwear gives him more height than stillers. in the whole video you cant see their footwear when they are next to eachother, only once unclearly towards the end of the video and they see like very flat shoes. tom cruises not once. stiller is 5'5.5.

There is a video of Black, Stiller and Downey jr dancing to Gladys Knight or something on youtube, they are perfectly lined up, side by side in identical costumes.......Black only looks bout an inch to two inches shorter than Downey Jr who is listed and recognised as about 5'8". Also Ben stiller is bout and inch shorter than Downey jr and is usually refered to as about 5'6.5 - 5' 7" , but Black isnt even near an inch shorter than Stiller !!!!!!!!!!!!!! check out the video. If we take Downey jr as 5'8" that would make Stiller bout 5'6.5" and Black bout 5'6" .

Rob you really think the difference between Tom and Stiller is exactly an inch? Thats plain wrong. Sorry. Stiller is max a flat 5'6" and at least 1.5 inches shorter than TOm Cruise. Please. It's time for a downgrade.

I'm not sure Stiller has as good posture, but 5ft 6.5 might be a better figure for him.

Of course he's going to appear taller than Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman is 71 and definetly shrunk a couple of inches,while Stiller is younger and stands with good posture.
I also read a Parade Magazine article about Stiller and it labeled him as a "6 ft 0 in Funnyman".
Complex said on 10/Aug/08
Oh and Stiller is shorter than Blythe Danner!
Complex said on 10/Aug/08
He didn't have more than an inch on 5'5 something Dustin Hoffman...and Robert Dinero didn't have much on either of them. I think Dinero can't be more than 5'7-5'7.5 barefoot according to his height in that movie, and I think Stiller is more 5'6 and Hoffman 5'5. If I had to guess.

X - you'r wrong about morning and night height. You ARE taller in the morning because you're spine decompresses at night and fills with fluid. This makes you taller when you first get up. That being said, I agree Stiller's 5'6".

Ahh, he's 5'6 at the most now..have you seen his new flick "The HeartBreak Kid"..c'mon now....and as far as that "Day and Night height ****"..that's fantasy, I'm the same frickin 6'2 and a half that I am at night, in the frickin morning....wishfull thinking you guys have...maybe that extra half inch on standing on your tippy topes is helping your height in the morning?..tip-top.

5'7"...are you sure? its not that he cant be that tall but look how much taller everyone is compared to him...everyone cant be 6'5". Ben Stiller has got to be around 5'4" at best.
mark said on 29/Sep/07
He can't be any taller than 5'4" and the only good movie he has done is Zoolander, which isn't very good. I have never spent a dime on this guy's films. His father and mother are both very talented.
leonari said on 11/Sep/07
Rob: How come you don't have his father listed? JERRY STILLER. A Legend. He deserves a listing on this great site!
facts said on 2/Sep/07
I know for a fact you are taller in the morning than in the evening. That usually can explain height variations, on celebrity heights or any person for that matter. When I was in the military, I was measured barefoot twice a year for the Physical conditionating tests usually mid day at 5'7.5. I have been measured 5'8 before , usually early in the morning. Just out of curiousity I recently started measuring myself at night and minutes after waking up. I am about 5'7.80 in the morning and then I can drop to as low as 5'7.25 depending on how bad my posture is. There are plates in your spine that replenish at night.
dave said on 22/Aug/07
Glenn has .5/1 inch on him with a lean. Stiller cant be anything more than the listed 5'6.75, but nothing under 5'6 either.
glenn said on 20/Jul/07
seemed 5-6 to me too.weird angle going on in my pic.
Alex said on 19/Jul/07
Ben Stiller can come across taller like 5'8 in some of his movies but with Dmeyer this guy looks no more than 5'6.
corey said on 18/Jul/07
sorry, forgot to mention that Jack Black is said to be 5'6. so that inch that is between them is why i say that Ben Stiller is 5'7.
corey said on 18/Jul/07
i think ben is 5'7. in a scene on the movie Envy, Ben and Jsck Black are walking beside each other and you can see an inch between them.
antron said on 15/Jul/07
The pic with DMeyer is actually not so helpful because it is easier to compare things that are more similar in size than dissimilar. It is easy to be off a couple cm when judging Stiller next to a man nearly 6ft. I think a picture of Stiller with Tom Cruise, Sly and
Mel Gibson would be quite interesting no?
Alex said on 9/Jul/07
I was watching There is something about Mary last night and Cameron Diaz who is 5'9 barefoot and was 2 inches taller than Ben Stiller who was in shoes making this guy 5'6ish. But I tell you he can look taller in his movies though.
PC said on 29/Jun/07
Actually jennifer aniston is 5'5" max (that is the highest she has claimed). Was she in heels next to Stiller? That would make sense, as I strongly reckon stiller is a weak 5'6 at best. The perspective on the right pic doesnt do the difference between Glenn and Stiller justice.
david said on 29/Jun/07
In along cam poly with jennifer ainston he was shorter than her, and jennifer is 5"6 168cm. So this guy is clearly 5"5- 5"5 1/2 no way tallert than 5"6 or borderline 5"6.
Arjun said on 12/Jun/07
He could have some help in his shoes with Glenn.
Arjun said on 10/Jun/07
Exactly Aaron, Stiller is at least 5 inches shorter than Dmeyer in that pic, even the top of his wig does'nt reach Dmeyer's ears. However, his posture is'nt as good as Dmeyer's, plus Dmeyer has a little bigger footwear.
5'6" is quite possible for him IMO, but more than that is hard to argue based on this pic.
Aaron said on 2/Jun/07
Based on the pic with dmeyer, I'm leaning towards what matt said on may 31. I think we can trust dmeyer, since he is not a celeb and is more likely to be honest with his height than the 5'7 that stiller claimed in the quote above. Looks to me like dmeyer has an easy 5 inches on stiller, with six inches being very possible, so that puts Stiller in the 5'5"/5'6" range. However, he looks close in height to glenn who we know is in the 5'7.5"/5'8" range. Perhaps he was getting some help with his footwear in the pic with glenn. Glenn, do you remember what kind of shoes he had on when he took that pic with you?
Matt said on 31/May/07
He looked tiny in the episode of Friends he guested in. Absolutely dominated by Schwimmer, Perry and Kudrow, and looked absolutely no taller than Aniston. Check out his final scene where he confronts them all in the hallway. Bit of a shocker, as I thought he was a solid 5'7"; after seeing that episode, I'd have him nearer 5'5".
dmeyer said on 30/May/07
i did have 1 cm more shoes and better posture but i have no hair under the cap and the cap is flat
MD said on 30/May/07
He needs to be brought down to a realistic height. Near 5'7" he's not.
Anonymous said on 30/May/07
I agree with you Drew. Dmeyer is 5'11 and he looks about 6 inches taller than Stiller there.
the shredder said on 30/May/07
I think Rob should give Stiller 5'6.5 ! ... He is at most his 5'7 claim , but looks around 5'6 a lot because of poor posture . So 5'6.5 seems to be the mark !
Drew said on 29/May/07
With Dmeyer he looks 5'5". I mean, the top of his head seems to reach dmeyer's nose. Is he barefoot there? How tall did he look Dmeyer?
Editor Rob
to be fair with glenn, glenn does have a little lean, with meyer he does look no more 169cm giving him lesser trainers+poorer posture, which he has a fair bit. He might have had 1/2 inch lift in night at the museum, they put raver in bunny shoes for one scene.
Leung said on 20/May/07
I watched Night at the Museum DVD on the weekend and I was amused at how Stiller’s height fluctuates throughout the movie. Early in the movie he appears slightly taller than Robin Williams but later in the film he is the same and other times he is shorter. Also, Stiller looks similar height to Ricky Gervias early in the film but later on he is noticeably shorter than Gervias.
Sometimes he is 5’6” and sometimes he is 5’7”
Brad said on 13/May/07
I've met Jack Black, he's dead on 5' 6". That photo of Stiller with Black makes him 5' 6" also. What kind of height enhancing shoe is he with Glenn?
Viper said on 12/May/07
There is no way in hell Stiller is 5-7.
marines said on 12/May/07
On that photo on right Ben looks exact the same hight as Glenn.
the shredder said on 12/May/07
Rob , do you think Benjamin could be just 5'6 that Glennjamin saw ?
16and5'7.25'' said on 11/May/07
glenn in your photo it looks like he's trying to push you! but yeah, i think ben's 5'6-5'7''
Brad said on 11/May/07
He's really short. He must love being next to Dustin.
janice said on 5/May/07
ben stiller hes really short & always wear big lifted shoe.. 5ft5(166cm)sounds better..
Drew said on 2/May/07
Rob I can't figure out why you're not listing 170cm as 5'7"...
Editor Rob
height is stored in feet/inches. The cm value is derived from that, hence 5ft 6.75 = 169.545. I round to nearest cm up or down
the shredder said on 23/Apr/07
I don't understand why Rob has Myers and Lawrence at 5'7 and Stiller 5'6.75 ? ... Stiller was taller then Myers at the Mtv awards in 1997 and Myers and Lawrence were both same height at the 2003 awards ! ... Myers and Lawrence both being 5'7 , would put Stiller at no smaller then 171cm or 5'7.5 ! ... He looks 5'7 max with Glenn and DMeyer , so Myers and Lawrence should be listed at most Stillers listing ! ... They are all under 5 foot 7 !
TheJerk said on 12/Apr/07
Rob, are you and Stiller good pals? I think Stiller must like you very much to have overestimated him 3/4 of an inch. Please list me at 5-11 and 3/4.
sam said on 9/Apr/07
Stewart actually says he's 5'7", but "can play 5'6"". If Robbins was to stand up in that second photo, you probably wouldn't be able to his head!

he's taller than dustin hoffman in meet the fockers.....
dmeyer said on 5/Apr/07
my girlfriend is 5'7.25 and the differance is less than between me and stiller plus stiller as a big weeg on witout it he would be under my nose but maybe his posure wasnt the best but he is clearly in the 5'6.5 to 5'6.75 range
MD said on 5/Apr/07
Rob, you how are you seeing anything over 5'6" for Stiller? Really.
5'11 guy said on 3/Apr/07
I'm 5'11.5. The difference in height between Dmeyer and Stiller is about the same as between me and my mother, who is 5'6.
PJ said on 28/Mar/07
I've bumped into Ben And Jon Stewart ... Jon's slightly taller. 5'6 for Ben, 5'6.5 for Jon.
anonymous said on 25/Feb/07
Is DMeyer wearing taller shoes than the ones of Stiller? Because that's not a difference of only 11 cms there. Yet he doesn't look much shorter than Glenn in that other picture. Or is DMeyer over a step or something there?
MD said on 13/Jan/07
Again, I think the photos I posted of him and 5'6" Jack Black are probably some of the best proof knowing that Black is almost certainly not a lift wearer, and especially in that photo.
sf said on 13/Jan/07
We're slowly whittling away at Stiller's height!!! Remember - Stillers' got a big wig on with Dmeyer too...probably adds a little to his height.
aussie bloke said on 13/Jan/07
He's gotta be shorter than 5ft7 straight outta bed, DMeyer TOWERS over him, looks around 6 inches taller, yet DMeyer is 5ft11, so Ben would have to be 5ft6 at the very most
Glenn said on 12/Jan/07
While I dont think he is 5-4,5-5.I dont think he is 5-7,5-8.5-6 suits me fine.
Evan said on 11/Jan/07
I'm 5'5" and I swear that when I talked to Stiller (at UCLA, it was a very depressing talk with him because it was before There's Something About Mary and almost no one was there) I was taller than him.
MD said on 8/Jan/07
5'6" Jon Stewart was, at most, .25 inches taller than Ben, but that still means there is no way Ben can be ANYTHING over 5'6". 5'6.75" is probably a full inch off, especially seeing him with Jack Black and Jon Stewart.
Anonymous said on 8/Jan/07
Tom Cruise looked to be at least an inch taller when they were standing side by side in that MTV awards "Tom Crooze" spoof.
Polska said on 4/Jan/07
Just saw him on the Daily Show. He and Jon Stewart stood next to each other awkwardly for a couple of secs. Jon was atleast half an inch taller. Maybe a full inch taller.
MD said on 25/Dec/06
It would be different if he were slightly taller than Stewart, but the guy was exactly as tall as Jon if not a tiny, tiny bit shorter. I guess you'd have to see it.
leonari said on 24/Dec/06
Thanks sf. So Rob? Glenn also rather sees 5'6"...Well whatever.
Editor Rob
I can see the possiblity, and knowing for instance how Kim Raver looked in person to me and seeing her standing with stiller at recent night at musuem premieres, a little can be chipped away
sf said on 22/Dec/06
leonari - I'm with you, and always have been. I just can't give Stiller 5'7"...
MD said on 22/Dec/06
He's definitely 5'6", though. I mean Jack Black and then seeing him with Jon Stewart. We can pretty well assume Jack Black wasn't wearing lifts in the photos I posted. 5'6" makes sense, too, taking into account the "two inch" rule.
Glenn said on 22/Dec/06
Im confused cause of the 5-7 claims,and he does look 5-7 in my photo.saw him twice.I couldve sworn 5-6ish.
leonari said on 22/Dec/06
Glenn: Why are you saying" guess I'm wrong" when stating that he looked 5'6ish to you ? I truly think you are spot on when it comes to Stiller !!! Since day one (when I started posting on this site) I tried to convince Rob that Stiller is 5'6"- And seeing him next to Jack Black, Jon Stewart: I'm even more convinced than ever that this guy is indeed 5'6" not a tad above nor below. Don't you agree GLENN?
Glenn said on 22/Dec/06
Thats weird about Stewart cause John is 5-6!
heightfan said on 22/Dec/06
I saw the Daily Show appearance also and Stewart def appeared taller. Jon doesn't seem to be the type og guy to wear lifts, in fact if I was to wager I would think Stiller would hve more of a reason to look taller. (being a movie star)
Glenn said on 22/Dec/06
I thought he looked 5-6ish.guess Im wrong.
sam said on 21/Dec/06
Yeah, the Daily Show with Stewart was surprising, because Stewart seemed slightly taller. This got me thinking about De Niro, because he doesn't seem to be much more than an inch taller than Stiller...what was your estimate of Stiller's height, Glenn?
MD said on 20/Dec/06
Oh, he was just on the Daily Show with 5'6" Jon Stewart and looked just as tall if not even slightly shorter than Jon. I'm convinced he's no more than 5'6".
sunbeame said on 17/Dec/06
Describes himself as 5'7 in this months 'cosmopolitan' magazine.
dmeyer said on 13/Nov/06
stiller is over 5'6 but under 5'8 he could be 5'7.25 with good posture
Del Mar said on 24/Sep/06
My 5-8 friend looks the same height next to me and I'm barely above 182 with 183, so I actually do think Stiller looks 5-8! Might sound crazy but that's how it seems to me....
kene said on 16/Sep/06
hes 5ft5(166cm) in real.. pic above his wearing lift-up standing beside glenn.. comfirm and sure he can't be tom cruise height.. tom apear in mtv video music award in 1999 stand close to ben was 2inches(5~6cm)over ben..

some pictures will mask height. Did you say you had 'seen glenn' in person?
trueheight said on 22/Jul/06
theres a video on youtube i posted in the Johnny Depp thread. Stiller maintains good posture throughout but Depp is his camera-shy self. In instants when Depp straightened he had a clear 4in advantage on Stiller. The descrepancy hasta be w/ Stiller being 5'6 b/c most of the PotC2 premiere pics show Depp to be pretty average in height
Anonymous said on 20/Jul/06
I'd have to say no taller than 5'6", just look at how small he is in every movie. Not even 5'7", no way

I met him on his Reality Bites jaunt and he was shorter that I by 1 - 2 inches and I am 5'6". I would say he is 5'4" - 5'5".

Yes, he's obviously sitting, thus the intended humor of my comment...
Johnny D. said on 18/May/06
Tim Robbins is actually half leaning/sitting in that picture, right? Or are Stiller and Stewart have become the "lift masters" leaving Stallone in the dust?
Azarea said on 13/May/06
Just imagine susan sarandon next to stiller!...no but he seriously looks smaller than jon stewart.
Gonzalo said on 9/May/06
I never thought Stiller was taller than Robbins. I`m shocked! Is then Ben Stiller 6`7?

Wow! Ben Stiller's taller than Tim Robbins!
dmeyer said on 23/Apr/06
just so you guys know i have good posture in pics wish make me look taller than i am i dont think stiller is under 5'7 171 cm is verry possible
Editor Rob
yeah, this is why Stiller can look shorter sometimes...for sure in some pics he can look struggling with 5ft 7

In my humble opinion, he is just under 5'7. 5'6.75 but hey i could be wrong!

I hate to agree with Glenn, but Stiller's no taller than 5'6"!
Just kidding, Glenn.
dmeyer said on 6/Apr/06
SINCE I HAD 1 CM ADVANTAGE IN SHOES BUT HE HAD 2 CM WIG ADVANTAGE SO LETS SAY WE HAD THE SME FOOTWEAR 171 IS POSSIBLE
trueheight said on 6/Apr/06
So Dmeyer is 5'11.5 right? from the top of your head to below your ears is a good 5 inches making him 'look' 5'6.5 in this pic. any comments about footwear dmeyer?
Glenn said on 5/Apr/06
he's 5-6.but then again so is hoffman.wasnt hoffman slighly taller in some scenes? or Im a nuts?
dmeyer said on 5/Apr/06
you'r right he had a big wig on
sf said on 5/Apr/06
That's a short 5'7! yea, he's hunched a little bit but he's also got that big wig on!
dmeyer said on 5/Apr/06
from wath i remember he was in the 5'7 to 7.25 range
sf said on 5/Apr/06
Rob - that picture has Stiller looking no taller than 5'6" to me, if dmeyer is the height he says he is.
Editor Rob
yes, trying to be fair with Stiller posture though. That could be something to give him...we know he can look this short - 5ft 6 - as in meet fockers.
dmeyer said on 5/Apr/06
so rob wath do you think i think anyting from 169 to 171 is possible
Editor Rob
yes, he looks actually nearer 169-70 with you, although not sure if he has as good posture though?

"No..Noo...please don't take a photo until I put on my Zoolander make up!" Glenn, what was he really saying?
He looks 5'7.5" on the photo, Glenn would be 5'8"...
sf said on 19/Mar/06
Yes, I agree - Stiller was taller than Hoffman in the movie. Still, no taller than 5'6" and 1/2! Just 3/4ths of an inch to go, Rob!
leonari said on 19/Mar/06
Yes of course he was taller than Hoffman...but barely...He was wearing sneakers throughout the movie...Hoffman most of the time barefoot or sandals...and I firmly believe Hoffman is not a tad over 5.5" these days which makes Stiller a solid 5'6" -5'6.5 but not above that mark...Almost 5'8" is out of the question!
Parker said on 18/Mar/06
Its funny how people see different things. I've seen Meet the Fockers on numerous occasions and Stiller always looked taller than Hoffmann to me
Editor Rob
he was taller, posture wise in that film he can look short of course...
trueheight said on 16/Mar/06
what really bothers me is that he was a bit shorter than Dustin Hoffman in Meet the Fockers, and Hoffman was wearing sandals so no lifts
tgri said on 5/Mar/06
he looks 5'6 to 5'7.5 to me
dmeyer said on 22/Feb/06
hey rob i am the the celebheight reader who said he was 5'7" max but since i saw the pic i have with him again he is just under my eyes probably 11 cm diference 170 171 is possible but not 5'8" because then the differance wouldnt be that big
Parker said on 30/Jan/06
The photographs of celebs taken with Glenn confirm my thoughts, particularly on Stiller and Cruise. Stiller 5'6, 5'7 at a stretch - Cruise 5'8 tops.
trueheight said on 29/Jan/06
What is REALLY curious is in Meet the Fockers, Hoffman appeared in some shots to be as tall or even TALLER(???) than Stiller. The clincher is that Hoffman was in 1.5in(at the most) sandals and Stiller was in dress shoes...very wierd
Ball-A-Hallic said on 28/Jan/06
Even thought ben and glenn are a little tilted, Ben looks as if hes standin str8 and glenn's leanin so Ben's probally 5'7 he sure does look it.
sf said on 26/Jan/06
That's right, Glenn. I saw the same thing, or something similar, and Cruise was taller by at least an inch, standing side by side. Another reason I downgrade Stiller's height. Again, who knows about lifts, though?
Glenn said on 25/Jan/06
stiller played tom cruise on some talk show as a goof,and the real cruise got on the show and was 2 inches taller!
Anonymous said on 24/Jan/06
Ha ha, I would like to see Stiller and Tom Cruise in a movie arguing face to face, head to head because it would be funny to see two people the same height fight.

gyllenhaalic823 said on 12/Dec/05
He looks quite short in Dodgeball, although I think that he was SUPPOSED to be short because it makes his part funnier; I am curious if they made the other people taller so that he looked shorter or if he is acutally that short; he does look around the 5'7" range.
kenneth said on 24/Nov/05
if u watch dodge ball,u were about to realise ben is a shoulder height shorter than vince.. for my estimate ben is 1.65 n vinceis about 1.94..1.95 tall..
Gabriel1 said on 20/Nov/05
On what used to be MTV's The John Stewart Show, (I think it was that one...) Ben Stiller was asked his height and he said 5'7".
dmeyer said on 19/Nov/05
hey i am the extra who is 182 cm 171 is possible
TNTinCA said on 9/Oct/05
The closing portion of Dodgeball has Ben Stiller standing on that podium right next to William Shatner. Shatner is at least a 1/2 taller and thats taking into account Ben's funky hair for that movie. Celebheights has Shatner at 5'7 1/2" tall. I think Stiller is scraping the 5'7" height level if not just under it a tad.
CoolJ said on 29/Aug/05
Sticks.. where did you dig up that 2.36in figure for pupillary distance?
Mine is 2.48in
Most places use 63-65mm (2.48in-2.56in) as an average for a North American adult male.
sf said on 29/Aug/05
Parker - I'm with you. Everything I've ever seen has me put Stiller in the 5'6" to 5'7" range. Even many of Stick's pictures. Sticks - why are you making it your life's work to try to convince everyone that Ben Stiller is as short as you want him to be? Since I believe Rock is probably 5'9" to 5'10", your picture proves to me that Sandler is in the 5'6" to 5'7" range. People's definition of diminutive can vary. Some may use the word to refer to short, others to refer to slight of build. Others who might just have expected Rock to be taller, might have referred to him as diminutive because he jut wasn't as tall as they thought he would be. One person's definition of diminutive doesn't make it another's. I have people tell me I'm short and others who tell me I'm not. Same word, "short", but two different standards. You made a point below about thinking someone is shorter than you and then realizing they are taller. You say that can't happen (the example about the boots). Of course, it can happen. I had a friend in college who was 5'9" who thought I was taller than him. I'm 5'6"! Yet, the guy actually thought I was taller than he was. People's perception of heights suck! My friend at work thought she was 5'8" and thought she was taller than me. No, we stood back to back and were the same height. Because somebody says something, doens't make it so. The guy who thinks he's 5'6" and towers over Stiller might actually be 5'8" since so many people really don't seem to know their true height. or, he could just be saying it to bolser his own ego. Wow, what a surprise- would someone actually distort the truth to make themselves feel better????
Another example - a girl I dated swore she was 5'8" but we were the exact same height, back to back. She just wouldn't accept she was only 5'6". I am measured at the doctor at 5'6" and 1/4 - I know my height. Because Stiller jokes about being 5'3", doesn't mean he is. I've said this before - everything is not black and white. I've jokingly said I'm 6'3" but I'm not. I've also jokingly said I'm 5 feet, but I'm not. don't take everything so literally and realize that people have different ways of thinking, and perceiving, etc.
