height detective: That pic, you posted is with Brad wearing his built up shoes or his famous large heeled boots! He is in the range of 5'8 to 5'9 barefoot! He is much shorter than listed!
Huey said on 5/Sep/06
Anyone claming he's below 5-10.5/5-11 is suffering tall poppy syndrome. Julia Roberts is tall for a woman, wearing huge shoes in this pic and still shorter than Brad whos in flat soles.

interesting photo Height Detective posted. Dermot Mulroney is listed at 176cm and looks taller than Pitt there.

Paltrow with close to 4" heels is around 6'. Brad wins again. Brad wins here in this post.
Brad said on 3/Sep/06
He's over 6' with ease with those Jolie photos in those boots. The guy is 5' 10". Give it a rest. Hope he and Danny Ocean take Pacino down in "13".
anonymous2 said on 2/Sep/06
Pitt never looked more than a couple inches taller than Gwyneth Paltrow, who is 170 max. (see pics frm Anonymous on 24/Aug/06) But if she is truly 5'9 as listed (which is quite unlikely given the pic evidence) then yes, he is 180 cm.

in this pics if standing taller he would be 4 inches taller but she is wearing 2.5 inches heels so like 5.5 inches taller that woulbe 6 0.5 but he might have similar heels so 5 11
asda said on 29/Aug/06
i have 2 cousins who are in the 5'11 range.Sometimes they can appear 6'1.i read an article that most humans could stand up to 2 inches taller with the correct posture. i agree with this as i am 5'8 but can sometimes reach 5'10 with a straight posture.I think this explains pitts 5'11 to 6'1 sightings.
Anonymous said on 29/Aug/06
great pic from y-man! Jolie's body does not look that tall. She just has arangatang arms and gigantic hands that give the impression she is a bigger person. And Pitt is obviously in elevator boots (what else is new). But if Glenn were present for this shot, all he would notice is another star "looking quite tall". Because if he called out Pitt, Bloom, Stallone (etc) on their elevator boots that allow them to tower over shortish Glenn, they wouldn't wanna pose for pics with him anymore. Am I the only person on this site to realize that??? Stars are aware of this site and therefore, they are aware of Glenn.

I figure when Clooney said Brad was 6-1 that was with lifts. It makes sense. Its possible that Clooney thinks Brad is a true legit 6-1 and doesnt know about lifts? How hillarious would that be.

Bloom is 5-10 at the least.saw him alot more than you.Pitt is 5-11,looking 6-1 next to 5-11 Clooney.
Brad said on 26/Aug/06
Brad walks very tall. He's lean and lean tends to add illusional height. Add those cycle boots and he walks tall compared to say such as Clooney who has a leaning posture so it seems.

I was within 5 feet of Orlando Bloom when he was promoting the movie "Elizabethtown" in my home town of Louisville, Kentucky. He ain't no 179. I'm 5' 9" barefoot and he was noticably shorter than me. I'll give him 5' 8". My sister swears he looked more 5' 7"ish. Anyhow, the point is, it would not be difficult for a 5' 10" Pitt to tower over Bloom by a few inches...especially with lifts. Bloom is just another classic example of the "2 inch rule" for shortish actors. He's about 5' 8", so claims 5' 10" and is lean enough to look it in pictures. Just as a lean 5' 10" Pitt looks 6 feet in pics and 6' 1' with the full lift package.
Val said on 25/Aug/06
Brad Pitt seems really tall actually.He's nowhere near being smaller than 180cm...On photos next to Orlando Bloom he looks much taller.And orlando is also 180cm as he claims and 179 here..Is that only a cm? Either pitt wears lifts here or...?

Martin said on 25/Aug/06
My dad was 5'11 in his 20's and he weighted about 145 pounds. I watched our photo albums and noticed that he could easily give the impression of being 6' or 6'1 with shoes on (of course no lifts) because he was so skinny. Now he's 40, weighs 240 pounds and does look more being 5'10-5'10.5. (I'm not sure whether he was taller - when you are 6' in Europe, except UK, you often downgrade your height to 180cm because it's better to say). What I wanna say is, that Brad can look taller than he is, because he's skinny.
DMeyer said on 24/Aug/06
in those pics with barfooted agelina he looks 5 feet9 since he hsa boots with fairly big heels weird becase beside clooney he can look 6 feet 1 my girlfiend is strong 5 feet 7 and if she was barefeet and i would be in boots i would tower over her i am 182 so brad gotta be less than that i have seen troy premiere he looks 3 to 3.5 inches shorter than bana so pitt is 5 11 possibly 5 10 but can look 6 feet1 in the best lifts

I sure don't have it or remember the site. I'll believe Brad in his words.
Anonymous said on 24/Aug/06
What people fail to keep in mind is Pitt's perfect military posture (ala Stallone). Using this posture, it's easy to look an inch taller than someone who is actually the same height as you are! If someone is in typical relaxed or slouchy/bad posture mode as most people are, they will "look" shorter than someone like Pitt whose neck and back are as straight as a board. Add to that the almost 2 inch heels on most of Pitt's shoes and a 1 inch lift that is easily hidden inside his high cut dress shoes, boots or high top tennis shoes...all of a sudden a guy who is barely 5' 10" barefoot can easily "appear" 6' 1" to the average slouching on-looker.
Why is this so hard for some of you to believe? If he were a legit 6 footer or even 5' 11", he wouldn't look almost the same height as 5' 7" to 5' 8" Gweneth Paltrow in the pics with her where they're both actually in normal shoes or sandles. Look again:

Adam said on 18/Aug/06
hey brm, when you say 6 1, do you mean at that sighting he looked 6'1?
if so, then he's five eleven, unless he walked around barefoot.
if he is a natural six footer, with shoes and so called lifts on, he's easily six three.
Viper652 said on 18/Aug/06
Brad does look about 6-1 with full on lifts though. I beleive brm's sighting and estimate.
Anonymous said on 18/Aug/06
Let's not forget that alot of these 6'1 sightings depend on how honest the witness is with their own height. I'm 5'11 on the button but some of my 5'10 friends who like to think they're 6' believe I am 6'1
Anonymous said on 18/Aug/06
Are people serious with this 6'1" - 6'2" nonsense? If he is indeed over 6' BAREFOOT then there is no way he would look so short next to Hedlund in a candid pic. Also look at pics from Spy Game. There is a photo of him and Redford walking where you can see their shoes and guess what? same height, maybe a half inch in Pitt's favor. Lets not forget the pics of him strolling down the beach with Angelina and her kids in high tops. This guy isn't fooling anyone.
Anonymous said on 18/Aug/06
If he was a genuine 6'1 or 6'2 he would look huge on screen! and his publicity machine would go mad!...Mr Pitt a towering 6'1 or 6'2! he himself as stated 5'10.5 to 5'11 which means really he is no more than 5'9!
Everyone knows he uses lifts!....He is average not tall. Most likely 5'8.5 to 5'9! brm - get real, 5'9 barefoot max, in boots 5'11, with lifts around 6'

John Doe said on 17/Aug/06
Haha. No im not associated with anything like that. And some football players (who need some extra inches) do
stretching exercises to gain height. It works. Now aside from you accusing me of selling stuff, do you see any links? Anyways im not a short guy so I wouldn't know about how lifts are made, and what they look like. But your telling me he is wearing lifts in those photos I submitted below? Those shoes are really small.
Adam said on 17/Aug/06
Anonymous,
For once we agree.
Chris said on 17/Aug/06
Interesting John Doe, although I find it hard to belive you can strech and do special programs and grow 2 inches. I still think he is 5'11''. No need to be mean Anonymous.
Anonymous said on 17/Aug/06
Hey John Doe - The most one can expect to accomplich from one of those stretching/hanging and supplement programs is to regain one's original max height previously lost by bad posture and or aging. Pitt didn't become "famous" till his late twenties. If you really believe he grew 2 inches after that, I've got some swamp land I'd like to sell you.
You are obviously affiliated with one of those online streching programs and are using this page as a way to market the product by proclaiming Pitt gained 2 inches from a similar progam. The only other explaination for why you would write such rubbish is that you aren't too bright. Any height "growth" Pitt has experinced since his late twenties could only be attributed to elevator shoes. That is unless he had the highly complicated and risky leg bone extending surgury...which I tend to doubt he would have gone through all that when at 5' 10", he is already tall enough to easily look over six feet in the right shoes.
Anonymous said on 17/Aug/06
Wow. Growing 2 inches at 35, and I thought I had heard everything. Here's another explanation: he is insecure about his height so he wears lifts to look tall.
John Doe said on 17/Aug/06
What I think about Brad's height...
Even though some people don't know it or don't believe it, you can add a few inches to your height by doing various things. I am going to tell you what I think, and if you don't believe it oh well (I don't care) because it's seems like what happened to me. And I have evidence. When Pitt became famous he was about 5-10. It says at this very site, a washington post newspaper article said he put down 5-10 on an audition form before. He also put himself down at 5-11 on one before. In his movie 'Kalifornia' he is on the run from the law and they say 5-11 in a special news bulletin. Now everybody knows when you have your drivers license made they ask you you're height and weight. Not somebody else, YOU. Now I know everybody knows alot of people lie to make themselves feel better. But Pitt said six foot. Here is a picture:
Click HereYou can look at pictures all day, say he has on lifts, whatever. But these pictures prove if you say Orlando Bloom is 5-10.5 and Eric Bana is a little over 6-2 that Pitt can't possibly be any shorter then 6 foot. They all have on the same kind of shoe.
Click HereClick HereClick HereI think (today) Pitt is 6-foot-flat without shoes, and 6-1 (or a little taller) with shoes on. Im willing to bet alot of you haven't met Brad. Well George Clooney has made a few movies with the man, and said Brad is 6-1. I think he looks shorter in older photos because he wasn't as tall as he is now. Like I said you can do various things to gain height. Stretching, hanging, take supplements. I think Brad did. Someone said below he got teased for being short as a kid, and has dated a few tall women. Aside from that he makes movies for the whole world to see. I think he wanted to look taller.
DMeyer said on 14/Aug/06
in people mag you can see the footwear of damon pitt and clooney damen and clooney in standard 1.25 to 1.5 in low cut shoes pitt with similar heels but high cut so they might be elevators since he looks taller than both of them with his slim body and some lifts he can easily look 185 cm
John said on 13/Aug/06
I have to say, I saw Clooney when he was in Middletown NY, doing Micheal Clayton, and Im 5'11.5 the .5 with shoes on HA HA, But I was a good 2 and a half inches taller then Clooney. I should know about the inches, I was standing right next to him, So Pitt may be 5'10.5 or 5'11. Cause the height diffrence in the Pitt Clooney pics, are a match to how I looked next to Clooney, So If Pitt is 5'11, a designer pair of shoes with 1.5 inch or 2 inch heels. There ya go 6'0.5 6;1
Height Detective said on 11/Aug/06
Leung im based on the heights listed on this site , if Clooney is 179 and Pitt is 1.80 it is a little difference , the think is to know if Pitt uses lifts or not ,to make him look more taller , or he is more than 5.11 , that the discussion here.
Im not saying that they use deliberate strange camera angles ,but we saw here the same photo taken in different angles and that makes a difference.

Brad could be as short as 5'10.5 but he looks over 5'10 flat to me and 5'11 is pretty possible too but nothing over 5'11.

Watch the movie 'Kalifornia',in it a police report describes his character as "five feet eleven with long brown hair", so I doubt he 6ft.
HelloKitty said on 4/Aug/06
I cant see the controversy about Brad's height, he is tall and doesn't need lifts, wether he is 5'10 or over 6'0, he is not under 5'11. Brad towered over Tom Cruise in Interview with a vampire and magazines I read said tom had lifts that made him 5'9 to 5'10, but still was obviously shorter than Brad.

If he is listed at 5'11, He is 5'9. Trust me on this I see alot of "resumes" and then the sit downs are crazy, I see on paper 6'0 and Im thinking the guy or gal is tall then he comes in and is my height.

Brad posesses all the characteristics of someone who 'appears' tall: broad shoulders, strong abs and core hence great posture and a pencil neck atop a lean ectomorph frame. All these together make him 'look' 6ft+

Robert is on target. I too believe Pitt is a solid average height (5' 9.5" to 5' 10"), but with broad square shoulders and a well proportioned and lean build, it's easy to appear 6' in pics and on film. Particularly if you're a fan of custom footwear ;-)

Brad's fluctuating height reminds me of my dad who's probably about 5'9'' - 5'10'' barefoot but with the shoes he looks near 6ft. He's got really broad shoulders so that could be a factor in the illusion which may apply to Brad.

at first i was confused about brad pitt, thought we has in the 6'3 range. i was surprised to see that he ws under the 6' mark. but when i started pay attention to him in films such as spy-game i saw that he was about the same height as redford(5'10). he wears really thick soles though, almost always in boots. in the mexican gene hackman had at least 3 inches on him if not more, so this height is accurate. i think he's underrated though, he deserved to be akcnowledged for the good actor he is.

Yeah. he looks very 5'10"ish in that pic.

He looks 5'10" maybe 5'10.5"...surely not more. Bit above average Guy...

Ive seen that pic before. At first I thought Brad only looked like a 5-8 guy there. But he actually appears more 5-10.

Click Heredo you think he looks like a six-foot guy on this pic? taking the proportions of his bodyparts (arms, legs) in consideration he looks like an average height guy ...

In that pictures of the boots Brad used in troy , in the second photo , you can notice there are some inside the boots , if not , brad shimbone should be anormally larger to reach the inside of that thin sole boots

Ten years ago he looked 178-179. Now he looks 181-182 cough lifts cough . If I had to bet my life on it I'd say 179 barefoot of course.

Bana and Bloom are wearing sandles in Troy. Pitt is in some high top lace up boot things that are perfect for hiding lifts while still providing enough ankle support to jump around in. Oddly enough, it was reported that Pitt injured his achillies heel around the end of filming of Troy. Maybe those lifts weren't so great to jump around in??

I mean take a look at the fight scene with Eric bana in Troja!
I don't think they wear elevators,so Pitt looks 182cm minimum to me!

Well after doing some "research" of my own, I've come to the conclusion that Brad's 5'9" :-) People who've seen Brad report anywhere from 5'10" to 6'1" or even a 6'2". The main thing that works for him and completes the illusion is his built. We know that he mainly prefers to wear chunky boots/cowboy boots which come in 2" heels easy. Lifts come in anywhere from 1" to a very special extreme 4.5". He must have a veriety of these to suite every occaision. It's Hollywood baby!.. You do the Math!!! ;-)

Well, Brad has an inch over Clooney. He couldnt be any shorter then 5-10. 5-10.5 barefoot and 6-1 in his "special" shoes.

I just saw "Interwiev with a vampire" again...he's solid 5'11''...I also saw "Snatch" again and this time I really concentrated on Brad's height: He looked slightly shorter (an inch perhaps?) than Jason Flemyng, who's strong 6'1''! So he definitely wears lifts nowadays!

Truth said on 5/Jul/06
To be honest alot of tall guys are bad judges of height. I think it is
the fact that they want to be least 2-3 inches taller then other guys. I
am 6ft but some 6"3, 6"5 guys I know try to make out that I am 5"10.
When a guy is tall he wants to keep that image of being like 3" or more
taller that other guys. When I wear shoes, I am almost as tall as my 6"2
friend. Now tell me if I'm not the Truth.

Editor Rob,
Maybe you could provide some proof to Anonymous of Pitt's height of five eleven?? I've seen the guy in person and he was eye to eye with me at six one (with shoes).
Anonymous said on 30/Jun/06
Hey Adam, Bana is listed at 6' 2". In hollywood that means he's probably closer to a lean 6'1" barefoot. Norton is 6' even max. So Pitt really wouldn't have to be 5' 11" to appear close to their height in his lifts. He also gains at least an inch in pics with those guys because of his military posture. Bana stands fairly relaxed because HE IS TALL. Norton is a serious sloucher, but because he is so skinny and a legit 6', he still looks tall. Pitt just doesn't look tall, except when he is wearing lifts and forcing posture. He ain't short, he just ain't 5' 11" and up. Read what people who have seen him in person say, not what people who've seen a couple of people magazines and next thing you know they're the expert on Pitt's real height?!

@ J-dog: There is a reason that Pitt is ALWAYS in high top type footwear, he wears built up shoes. He is always in either big boots, high top dress boots or those high top white no-name (because their custom made as well) tennis shoes that are in so many shots. Take it from someone who wears lifts, There is a high arch on the top part of his foot in any of his shoes you can see (when they're not hidden under long pants).
In Troy, every character and warrior (including Bloom and Bana) wore open air sandals that would be impossible to hide lifts in. But Pitt wore some ridiculous leather lace-up high tops (perfect for hiding lifts)!! How can you say it's just speculation that Pittt wears lifts while you agree that Cruise does. It's fairly obvious they both do.
And by the way, with nice heeled boots giving you about 2 inches and a 1 inch lift inside them, you can stand a total of 3 inches taller than your barefoot height and still walk somewhat normal with the good ankle support of high top like shoes. Cruise is struggling with to reach 5' 7" barefoot, but can stand just under a respectable 5' 10" in his special shoes. I believe Pitt is 5' 10" and uses the same strategy to stand around 6' 1" in his special shoes. But since Pitt has such a lean build and broad shoulders, he makes a far more believable 6' 1" than Cruise's 5' 10". Crusie is fit, but has an odd build with sloping shoulders that don't add to the illusion of being taller like Pitt's do.
In "Interview with a Vampire", Pitt was not exactly barefoot. Watch it and see his boots had nice heels as well. He probably didn't wear lifts though as a courtesy to Cruise who was playing the lead role and was still a bigger star than Pitt at the time. Cruise had a ridiculous heel and probably a 1 inch lift inside to make up a some of the 3 inch height difference betwwen them, but he was not wearing 3 inch lifts inside his boots!!! Do you really think it is possible for anyone outside of the circus to wear stilts like that?! Lifts go inside the shoe and i have yet to see any shoes that could accomadate a 3 inch lift and still have room for feet!!

J-Dog said on 23/Jun/06
I think with the scar thing, people are just looking for something to make him imperfect, but a las we all have imperfections. They aren't very noticible.
To Annoyamous, everyone's opinions are still opinions even yours. You can post the select photos of him looking shorter than average, while there are just as many pictures of him looking 6' and 6'1".
About the lifts, does anyone have any evidence that he is wearing lifts? Do you know with certainity that he actually goes out and meets up with Stallone to trade lifts? That is an assumption you are making.
To say that he couldn't possibly be even 5'11" is a stretch, the guy is certainly not 5'9" 5'7.75" Tom Cruise wore 3 inch lifts which would make him 5'10.75" and still looked shorter than Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire.
You are telling me Brad Pitt is only 5'9"? Seriously?

Del Mar said on 23/Jun/06
To Sarah and leonari: What I read about how Pitt got his scar (Below left eye I think?) was a football or basketball tossed hardly into his face when he was a youth. His skin chapped or something, therefore got a characteristic scar. Sounds a bit strange, but shall not doubt it. ;)

Hey Leonari...
ask all your female friends and see whether they think 5 9 for a man is not small. if you read carefully, I'm saying five nine is tiny in terms of what Pitt's height is. I was not talking about the population...

Yesterday on CNN (in Europe) an inside story about heights and influence on career and life etc. Also on growth hormones given to children and stuff, some sh*tty things being mentioned there.
Poor Tom was said to be only 5'7 and
Mel Gibson 'only' 5'10. So basically the item was about how people make lack of height into a decease. But in the end...they listed a 5'10 guy as short!
@my own growth, I think I reached 183 at age 18 and took the last cm in about a year after it. After reading the shoelifts item (I had never heard about those things) I tried on different pairs of shoes that I have: appears there is this huge difference, I discovered only 1/4 an inch already made me feel a lot taller. Weird huh?

Adam said on 20/Jun/06
Five nine is tiny. Tom Cruise is five seven. My ex girlfriend met him in person. In Interview with the Vampire, Tom wore publicized three inch heels, and made himself slightly shorter, but roughly the same height as Pitt. Pitt is still slightly taller if you watch the movie. That makes Pitt five eleven. I also saw him at the Fight Club premiere, and could not make out exactly his height since he was far away, but he looked six one. Five eleven with an inch and a quarter heels, makes him six one.
J-Dog said on 20/Jun/06
He isn't 5'9", but how would 95% of the men here wish it to be true.

Let's not forget the importance posture plays in some of the pics we see of Brad. A typical 6'1" guy isn't always standing military style and usually won't reach close to that when standing relaxed, instead he may only reach 5'11.5". Brad is always aware of his posture. That, coupled with lifts, could be a big reason why he appeared taller than notorious sloucher Edward Norton in Fight Club even though Norton has him by 2 inches probably. Also could be why he appeard close to Eric Bana's height in premiere pics for Troy.

@ Rob, well you know more about this subject than me of course, but the Tussaud used to claim that all the people they 'clone', had come to them to be measured (if alive at the time). But who knows, you could be right since the real Pitt seems to be wearing lifts once and a while.
@Wasa: thanks, I just thought it was quite ok and normal to wine here since all everybody talks about here is height issues ;) I would feel very embarassed to get caught or questioned by anyone about wearing shoelifts, but I imagine I could wear them one day to an application or formal sitation (where nobody knows you that well) just to feel 'extra' confindent, towering over the major part of the crowd :)

@Tyler: i don't see the problem, you're 184cm, in my opinion thats pretty near to a perfect height, if not the perfect height, work out if you feel "lesser" then taller, but i don't see why you should feel that way, there is no real "merit" in height, it's mostly just a matter of luck/genes. And about the dutch getting to a 190cm average, i sincerely doubt this, the average of most countries seems to stabilize at around 181cm, i dont think the dutch will get much further then 185cm average, even if they drink growth-hormone rich milk all the time. I'm 173 myself and have to deal with a younger generation of Belgians where most are around or over 180, and there's lots of people like me or shorter. So quit your whining and be thankful for what you got. :)

Tyler ,related to your comments , Eduard Norton is a big sloucher ,that means he can look shorter than Pitt , because he is never in good posture , plus if Pitt is wearing lifts that put him near 6.1 but if you see him on older movies when he wasnt famous , he look really short , for example look the photos I have posted from Thelma and Louise and you can see that brad using boots is still short than Geena Davis who is 6 ft and was barefeet in that scenes , so is impossible he is at least 6 because with boots he must be towered over barefeet Geena Davis.

Tyler there is a Tussuand in NYC, I've been there. The Pitt statue there is about 5'10.5. Im 5'11 and was just a bit taller then it. I have a pic of it. Im getting a scanner this week and will put it on this site. That guy is no 6'1. His publisist may have said 6'1.

Still, nonody comes up with an explanation for the Madam Tussaud's exact body doubles. It must have occured to anybody then that all the statues were made in oversize? I don't believe that. The other night I was checking out some Ed Norton pics and in most of the pics that have him and Pitt, Brad is the taller. It seems a lot of people seem to want to make Brad Pitt shorter than he is. I'm sure he's at least 6'.
Looking at my own miserable situation, I never ever wear lifts and I have many pics in which I look as tall as a 6'2 friend of mine. In others, he towers over me. Then I have pics of me and a friend who's 5'10 and he can look exactly my height as well. Look at yourself in the mirror on an certain moment and then focus on standing up totally straight. There can be a 4-5 cm difference between a bad posture and standing up straight.
So who has wisdom on these statues (given the fact that I just don't lie about my own height).

tyler do you have a pic of him standing beside his statue? If they're the same height, he could be be wearing lifts and the statue could be wearing normal shoes.
who says that these big wig actors don't have a say in exactly how their statues have to look. I think they do. Their image is their marketing, and they're very aware of their look, and likely obsessed.

Over 6'? Not a chance. Older pictures and now this article point to 5'10.5". No more no less and please dont tell me he could have grown since he was 30

I could see Brad at 5'11, but nothing more than that. He is a couple inches taller than Angelina who I see at 5'7ish.

Hey Tyler, Tussands makes a mold of their face and neck. They don't mold their whole body dude. They just sculpt the body to "appear" the same size/shape as the celeb appears in person. News Flash: Pitt wears shoes with built-in and well disguised lifts. Therefore, he "appears" the height of his statue. But the guy is 5' 10.5" max barefoot. We're talking Hollywood, not Holland. People aren't near as tall or as honest about their height in Hollywood than they are where you're from. Don't be so naive Tyler.

The article said "of about 5'11" So that means 5'10.5 There is no way he is 6ft or 6'1.

What I simply don't get is how on earth Brad Pitt's statue in Madame Tussaud's London can stand at 186 cm, maybe close to 187 cm. I know this for a fact. I am 184 cm myself, that is barefooted. I am Dutch and particularly short with this height, certainly at the age of 25, I realize that within 10-20 years, the average dutch male will be well over 190 cm, which makes it even 'worse' I guess you could say I have some height issue or at least a slight obsession, so I know what my exact height is (before 12 am!) But I shouldn't complain cause things could have been worse, since I was 172 cm at the age of 16. I never wanted to put down a fake height, even when I got my new passport, they measured me at 186.5 cm, but I said 'take the 2.5 cm off please' (I was wearing shoes of course, with 3 cm heals).
So on Brad Pitt, I stood next to this statue and he was slightly taller than me, both of us wearing normal shoes. In a pic that was made, I fully stretched and maybe just made it even.
I just cannot believe his statue would have been made 5 cm taller than him. I mean, they always do these photoshoots with the celebrity and his Tussaud double, both wearing exactly the same clothing AND shoes. How weird must that have looked then?
I just think he is 183.5 cm at least. How the hell is he going to be 186 cm otherwise? No way Tussaud's is going to make the statues any inches taller than the real life person.
It occurs to me that heightwatchers usually tend to rate celebrities shorter. In Pitt's case, the height you rate him is just not correct I think.

So MD, would you say an exact height of 5-10 1/2 for Brad?
Anonymous said on 20/May/06
I agree. about 5'11" usually means slightly under 5'11"....
MD said on 19/May/06
He definitely seem somewhere in between 5'10" and 5'11", but we all know "about" 5'11" is slightly ambiguous. I wouldn't take that as irrefutable proof.
