How tall was Carl Weathers

Sonnecker said on 22/Sep/23
Always looked a strong 6'1", so I'd give him 186 cm. He's been holding up his height very well so far, great physical shape for a 75!! He didn't lose much since his youth.

Mike tosch said on 27/Feb/23
You should find the pic of rocky and apollo talking in the door way in rocky 3 stallones in flip flops so I believe weathers when he said 5'10" 1/2

QM6'1.5"QM said on 24/Feb/23
Doesn't look taller than Mark Gatiss, but on these Rob's photos 184.5cms is better.
Anyway ~6'1" peak, today 6'0.5" probably.

Rocky 2&3 is such brilliant, raw and classic movies!!)

Paul Chana said on 7/Aug/22
Wow! Brings back memories! I watched their movies when I was in college.

Very nice to see how these actors look today. Thanks for the memories!

Vibram said on 27/Jun/22
Carl looked a flat 6'1 (185.6cm) peak, 6'0¼ (184) next to Rob in 2015.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Jun/22
Editor Rob: A peak of 6ft 1.5 for Carl too isn't impossible, I think if you go back to something like Navarone he could look 4 inches taller than Robert Shaw and taller than Ford.

Click Here I actually think Carl pulls off 6ft2 with those guys...and that's prime Ford he's standing next to who was at least 6ft0½ (2in+ on Shaw)

Tech noir said on 12/May/22
6-1 peak.

V for 1984 said on 24/Jan/22
The reason I don’t think he’s 6-2 is he said sly is 5-10.5. 6-1 max for Carl

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Jan/22
I agree berta, 186cm peak and 184-185cm today Sam goes for Murray

berta said on 9/Jan/22
yeah rob i think most would agree if he got the 186 cm listing he always have looked. Very similar to bill murray went from 186 down to almost 185.

Rising174cm said on 9/Dec/21
@Rob: Interesting. Shaw was taller than Redford in a wide shot in The Sting so he must have been a solid 5'10", too. Though that likely means Redford could have been more 177-178 range than 179 cm. I haven't seen Death Hunt in years either, but I don't think the ground in the film would allow for good comparisons. He was in Semi-Tough with Burt Reynolds, but iirc, there's no scene to compare them. I do remember Carl having a solid 2" on Billy Dee Williams in a late 80s/early 90s film.

Ford was only 6'0.25" peak, imo so I wouldn't be surprised at all if Carl had a good inch on him and was 6'1.25". In recent years, I'm sure the difference could be more like 2.5" even though Carl is only 5-6 years younger.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Nov/21
6ft2 morning peak is believable.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Nov/21
Him and Arnold could have been similar peak

Tall Sam said on 20/Nov/21
Yeah haven’t seen that old film for a long time but Weathers stood out as a big dude in a way he didn’t in Predator near Ford and Shaw.

Rising174cm said on 20/Nov/21
Just under 6'2" likely means 6'1.75" range. It's possible he measured that with the Raiders in the early 70s, but athletes can be measured early or even within an hour of waking up. Arnold also once claimed 6'1.75" and this was probably an early measurement. It's possible Carl was 186 cm, but Arnold did appear to be just a hair taller in Predator and 6'4" Dolph Lundgren had to be at least 3" taller based on how noticeable the difference was in the ring.

As for Stallone, he was certainly looked 5'10.5" or even 5'11" at times, but his lifts are well-documented and he's even joked about his footwear on occasion. Brigitte Nielsen said Sly was 174-175 cm years after their divorce and she would know. So imo, he had to be somewhere in that range. I say 174.5 cm or about 5'8.75". She apparently said he was 5'9" on another occasion so maybe he was more 5'9" than 5'8.5", but anything in that range. Back when they were married, she used to insist Sly was 5'10"-5'10.5", much like Carl saying he was 5'10.5" during Rocky 2 or Dolph saying 5'10" during Rocky 4. They weren't going to risk challenging his claim while they were appearing in his movies! But after the divorce, Brigitte had no reason to lie anymore.

berta said on 1/Nov/21
Rob i can believe he have been measured 6´1 1/2. i have a feeling htat is what he mean with just under 6´2. But probably earlier in the day and was 186 in the afternoon. I feell shorterst he ever could have been at peak was 185 cm flat and at best 186,5. Thats why i give the guy 185,8 ish peak.

Rounak Singh said on 3/Aug/21
He is looking more younger in 2015 pic.

UndertakerFrank said on 9/Jul/21
Sly was 5ft 10 1/2 IN Lifts !!!! Sly was about 5ft 8 I even heard rumors of 5ft 7

David Tang said on 3/Jul/21
6'1

Richie said on 4/May/21
I would peg Weathers at 6'1", he had at least three inches on Stallone, who was roughly 5'9.5" back in the day & was slightly shorter than Arnie in Predator, if you watch the opening scene where both actors walk together, Arnie has close to an inch on him, presuming Schwarzenegger's peak height of 6'1.75" reads true, Weathers would be 6'1".

Canson said on 21/Apr/21
@Viper: I don’t rule out peak 6’1.25” or 6’1.25-.5 range. I doubt a full 6’1.5 though. He could’ve been one of those guys who measured earlier in the day at 6’1 5/8 or 6’1.75” and used it. Essentially it would be a disjointed 6’2”

ALEXIZ/180cm said on 20/Apr/21
185 cm

viper said on 19/Apr/21
He's never been taller than 6-1

He's still at his peak

JamesFreakingBond said on 17/Apr/21
Overall 6'1.5-6'2 seems perfect for him in his peak, Stallone always looked 2-3 inches shorter than him, give or take since Stallone was known to wear lifts. If Arnie was 6'1.5 in his peak, then Carl looked just about the exact same height as him in Predator.

Ben Bell said on 18/Feb/21
Carl just stated 14 mins ago on Twitter that his highest measured peak height was just under 6’2.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Feb/21
I'd still give Arnold the edge though

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Feb/21
He was only 47 in Happy Gilmore so probably at peak

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Feb/21
He still looked a solid 6ft1 in Happy Gilmore. In fact the difference between him and Sandler compared to McDonald was hardly noticeable

FanzWrestler said on 27/Jan/21
@Rob time to put a peak height for Weathers. Looked 187 in his prime and 185/184 in his later age. Recently saw Happy Gilmore again and Sandler in Timberlands (5'10) held up well with him.

Rising174cm said on 27/Dec/20
I saw Death Hint years ago, but don't remember how tall Carl looked in it. I do remember that Carl was easily a full 2" taller than Billy Dee Williams in a film they did together in the late 80s. Carl's height isn't too much of a mystery. He was around 6'1" flat, maybe as tall as 186 cm, but he's almost 73 now so it's hard for me to believe he hasn't shrunk half an inch by now.

Also, smart move by Carl saying Sly is 5'10.5" in 1979. He had only done 2 sequels by that point, but I'm sure that didn't hurt when Sly was deciding on Rocky 3 and 4! It seems that people around Sly have always assumed they better not contradict his height claim for their own sake! Dolph was calling Sly 5'10" when Rocky 4 came out and Brigitte Nielsen was also calling him 5'10"-5'10.5" back in the 80s only to reveal after their marriage that Sly was actually 174-175 cm.

berta said on 12/Dec/20
i saw a old movie fcalled death hunt with him in it from 1981 or 1982 and i must say he looked atleast 185 and max 187 in it. i still feel 186 is best listing for him peak and weak 185 today. Just think him and harrison ford back to back in 1970 there is 2 cm difference maybe a little more.

TheDon1528 said on 25/Sep/20
just a quarter of an inch under 6'1"

Daycringeothon said on 24/Sep/20
Carl Weathers is pretty well proportioned for a legit 6’1”. Arnold Schwarzenegger while a former Mr. Universe may have been 6’1.25” when he had all the extra body mass. He may have lost a bit while filming Predator maybe a centimetre. Weathers head size edges out Schwarzenegger’s. Arnold has a higher forehead but weathers head is larger.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Sep/20
Rob, would you say Arnold had the edge over Carl in Predator?

OriginalAnon said on 28/Aug/20
6'1'' prime seems reasonable. I never got the impression he was anything over that. I can't even remember thinking that he was at all "tall". Of course, that means nothing in an objective sense but it's strange that a well-built guy who is 6'1'' doesn't come across as tall to me.

Rising174cm said on 24/Aug/20
There doesn't seem to be much doubt he was 185-186 cm range peak and probably maintained 185 range until fairly recently, but he's now 71 and it's difficult for me to believe he hasn't lost 1 cm by now. I think 184 cm range is likely now. I could also believe he dropped from a solid 6'1" range to weak 6'1" range, but it's now been 5 years since Rob's picture with him and it's been 3+ years since he looked Philip Winchester's height. For all we know, Winchester could be more like 6'0.5"-6'0.75" himself and he really didn't have more than 4" max on Sly at the 2017 Golden Globes and Sly was not taller than 5'8.5" max by that point.

Tall Sam said on 22/Jun/20
6'3" is too much but I think theres a good chance Weathers was more 6'1" and change than 6'1" flat. I think in Predator he was standing a bit downhill in a lot of the shots and there wasn't much different height than Schwarzenegger. Unlike Arnold, Carl still looks to loom over six feet still today.

Canson said on 21/Jun/20
@Viper: and many of us here have Gaspard at weak 6’5”

viper said on 20/Jun/20
He looks 6-3 with 6-5 Shad Gaspard

Click Here

Richie said on 4/Jun/20
I would say Weathers was 6'1", he had between three and four inches on Stallone in Rocky, depending on Sly's footwear and was close to an inch shorter than Arnie in Predator who was just shy of 6'2" peak, Weathers 6'1" seems about right.

Jam Cherry said on 4/May/20
Solid 185 cm now, seems like peak could be about 186 cm

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 13/Mar/20
The surname 'Weathers' would be rather apt for my brother - because he's so interested in it! 🌞🌧️🌤️⛈️🌈

Carl is weathering well at the height of 6ft1! 😁👍

Halb said on 18/Feb/20
He looks good here!

Jkiller said on 25/Jan/20
Looked around 6'1 in the rocky movies and predator.

Johnny G said on 22/Nov/19
6' to 6'1" ... When he played football he weighed 220lbs. Tops .. Apollo Creed 195 to 200lbs less

kurt franklin said on 5/Nov/19
I’m saying 6ft even today at best. The guy is in his 70’s. Probably list 1-2 inches of height. As someone else said Carl claimed to be 6’2” and put Stallone at 5’10.5” which means he and Stallone are an inch shorter than that. So if he was 6’1” in his prime he’s probably 5’11” now. If you look at him in rocky 3 and 4 he looks very tall. But in that film they made dolph look taller than he was. Not to say he wasn’t a legit 6’4” at the time. But they had to be tricky to make him look a lot taller that Carl, given there was only a 3 in height difference between them.

Janito said on 11/Sep/19
@Rampage you are wrong dude.
Pierre said on 10/Sep/19 (Arnold's page)
@Janito = Predator is one thing = arnold was the hero here = angles of the camera etc favour Arnold watch again the scène when they do arm wrestling = the camera is never in a neutral angle or maybe one second or two when the postures are in favour to Arnold...Random? Hum...
Curiously in pics out of the movie Arnold looks clearly shorter than Carl = Click Here Click Here Click Here strange no?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Sep/19
Arnold edged him in Predator

Charlie said on 1/Sep/19
Impossible to judge Arnold vs Carl with these pictures. Whats obvious though is that Carl barely has lost any height while Arnold has lost alot. Arnold however was taller, measured at 6ft 1.5 inches, then he cant be 184 cm.

stylus said on 31/Aug/19
@Rob If you have to choose do yu think Carl was 6'1 peak on the nose or 6'1.25?
I agree maybe Arnold and Carl were 6'1 guys or somewhere 6'0.75-6'1 overall I think Arnold was 1 cm shorter than Carl

stylus said on 30/Aug/19
@Rob do you think he has lost height? Maybe half an inch or quarter ?He looks impresive at 71.

Dmeyer said on 7/Jul/19
Interesting quote 6'2 him and Sly 5'10,5 wich means 6'1 and 5'9ish

Delvin chung said on 21/May/19
Is 184 cm the lowest he can be ?

'Annonymous' said on 24/Apr/19
Rob, I noticed that you've recently given a downgrade peak height to Richard Roundtree, to tell the truth, I wouldn't guess Carl was shortet than Richard in their prime. Rob, is there a chance that in the 80's they both could be 186 cm guys?

ulaix said on 11/Apr/19
@Rob Safe to say both were at least strong 185 guys and max 186. Good guess Rob and I agree you!

ulaix said on 10/Apr/19
So Rob this is a record. Carl probably just lost 1 cm! That's 0.5 inch. He is 71 amazing....

ulaix said on 10/Apr/19
Rob do you think he was as tall as Arnie. If Carl is 185 cm these days do you guess his peak could be 186.5 cm?

Laser8 said on 10/Apr/19
@Rob So Carl Weathers and Big Lewis would be around same height nowdays?
Do you think Carl was 6'1 or 6'1.25 peak?

meli174 said on 9/Apr/19
@Rob you are lucky meeting all these actors. Carl is a fit guy do you think he shrunk? looks like he doesn't but he is 71 so I guess a small fraction. How much do you think

Laser8 said on 9/Apr/19
Hi Rob Carl was rell 6'1 next to you? Because he looks a flat 6'0.
In this video Big Lewis is 6'0.5 or 184 cm and the difference is bigger

The Ben said on 1/Apr/19
Christian 6'5 3/8"
Yes, shorter would have been a better way of putting it. Although Eddie Hall wasnt actually as bulky as I expected. He was a little taller and not quite as wide.

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Mar/19
@Ben
By "smaller", do you mean shorter?

berta said on 23/Mar/19
close to 186 peak and close to 185 now is my guess

The Ben said on 21/Mar/19
6'2.5 Brandan and Carl Weathers. Click Here

The Ben said on 21/Mar/19
@Rob
Eddie Hall I'd say 6'2.5.
I have a photo him and my 6'2.5 friend and theyre identical. Same friend has photos with Carl Weathers, Sting etc.
As you know with super wide guys you have to stand next to them to get an accurate height as their width often makes them look smaller.

Rising174cm said on 20/Mar/19
@Sotiris: Yeah, that back to back pic is a good one and once again shows no more than 4" between them as Sly reaches above Carl's eyes. Here's a full photo showing both wore dress shoes: Click Here And here's the all-important video footage showing not more than 4" between them, much like the back to back photo: Click Here You can see them together for another 40 seconds at 16:04. Actually, this is why I think Carl might be only 6'0.5" nowadays since I have Sly currently at 5'8.5" and no more, no less. And that second photo of Carl and Jordan is better, though I think the difference looks a bit less than it is because Jordan has better posture than Weathers.

But it seems Carl can still look 6'1" or very close to it, such as with Philip Winchester and he didn't seem more than 1.5" shorter than Jesse Ventura at recent conventions and I doubt ventura is much under 6'2.5". @Ben Bell: Great pic! Carl looks at least a decade younger than he is.

Btw, if David Koechner is 6'2" as listed here then Carl looked just about 6'1" with him in 2007: Click Here Click Here Click Here

6ft Peak guy maybe even strong 5'11

No Arnold edged Weathers I’m sure

Daycringeothon said on 1/Mar/19
Mr. Carl Weathers always looked 186-187cm 6’1 1/4”- 6’1 5/8”. hasn’t shrunk much either. Arnold always got unfair camera perspective advantage in Predator (the main star) . Weathers had Arnold by about 3/4” even though he looked the same height in Predator.

Sotiris Gravas said on 30/Jan/19
@Rising I made the mistake of not straightening the pic. Sorry about that. This is a more accurate representation, w/ Jordan looking shorter... Click Here

Side-by-side... Click Here Not sure about 2".

Carl and Sly back-to-back... Click Here

Rising - 174 cm said on 17/Jan/19
@Sotiris: Nope. That's just the angle and he's still not as tall in that pic. Carl was clearly taller at that event even when he wasn't standing completely straight: Click Here That'd be a minimum 2" difference with the same posture.

Sotiris Gravas said on 14/Jan/19
Looks like 5'10.5" Michael B. Jordan borrowed some of Sly's elevator shoes... Seen here w/ now 6'0.5" Carl Weathers... Click Here LOL

Rising - 174 cm said on 2/Jan/19
Dolph did say he wore lifts for some scenes in Rocky 4 depending on where the camera was. He was referring to his scenes with Stallone(who also admitted to wearing lifts for the film), but it'd stand to reason he probably did it with Weathers, who was much closer to his height. But Carl is a weak 6'1" now so he'd be more of a solid 6'1" peak and Dolph was a solid 6'4" in the 80's and 90's.

Mister lennon said on 31/Dec/18
Lundgren was 6'4 peak. Wearthers was a strong 6, weak 6'1 peak.

Martin 6'2" said on 28/Dec/18
Personally I don't think he was 6'2" in his prime, because Dolph Lundgren was 6'5" and he was more than 3 inches taller than Weathers.
Although I don't know if Lundgren was wearing lifts or not?

The Ben said on 5/Dec/18
Agree with Ron 100%, met him this weekend and had my photo taken. He had me by 1/2 an ich. 6'1. Still in great shape. Classy guy.

Rising - 174 cm said on 6/Nov/18
Carl isn't or wasn't 5" taller than Stallone: Click Here Even considering Carl is dropping at least an inch in posture, he's not going to be 5" taller there. And as Rob said, Carl wasn't taller than Arnold: Click Here You can clearly see Arnold was taller in their scene. Carl definitely could have been 186 cm, though Mr. T's peak would need to be upgraded in that case because I don't see a full 2" between them, much less nearly 3": Click Here Click Here Unless Mr. T has lifts in his cowboy boots.

Ian555 said on 4/Nov/18
Rob do you think it’s possible he shrunk to 6’ 1” and was 6’ 2” in his peak? He looked liked he was 5 inches taller than 5’ 9” Stallone and looked slightly taller than Schwarzenegger who was 6’ 1.5” peak.

berta said on 15/Sep/18
186 cm peak and 184,5 today. in movies they try to make arnold look bigger but in reality this guy was probably the excact same height as arnold peak

MAD SAM said on 31/Jul/18
6’1.25” at 186 cm

Rising - 174 cm said on 2/Jul/18
@Rob: Yeah and that's all the more remarkable because as it is, Sly has lost less height than most his age so Carl has done extremely well then. In Sly's case, I think the continued action roles might have finally won out with a back injury while filming the Expendables 3 while prior to that, his healthy, active lifestyle had limited the effects of such injuries. In Carl's case, he's not really doing stunts and action roles anymore, though I'd love to see him in Expendables 4! Btw, he looks a lot bigger than Billy Dee Williams in Dangerous Passion(1990). The difference is noticeable when they're walking side by side and could hardly be less than 2" minimum. I don't know if Billy had lost a fraction by 52, but if he was a solid 5'11" then Carl was easily a solid 6'1".

Az La said on 1/Jul/18
Not too sure why there’s so many posts saying he is 6 foot plus. I met him at a Comic Con and stood directly in front of him; I am 6’ 1” and he was easily an inch and a half maybe two shorter than me, plus he had boots on. 5’ 10 at peak.

Rising - 174 cm said on 29/Jun/18
@Rob: I agree with you. As I showed, Carl looked as tall as Philip Winchester(whom you list 6'1") as recent as 2016-2017. He also consistently looked about 4" taller than Stallone from late 2015 to early 2017 as you may remember from the Golden Globes. I think he could warrant a 6'1.25" peak and 6'0.75" current listing or 6'1" peak and 6'0.5" current at age 70 based on probability, but who knows? He still looks surprisingly tall and looks great for his age overall. I see that he'll be in a film next year with some known actresses like Dianne Wiest and Glenn Close so perhaps we'll be able to see if he's shrunk noticeably at some events when the film is released.

Rising - 174 cm said on 26/Jun/18
He was definitely a solid 6'1" peak and is still close, but he never looked 3" taller than Mr. T and honestly didn't even look a full 2" taller, though Mr. T wore cowboy boots for the press conference.

alanandre78 said on 19/Jun/18
Hes really very elegant and class man !!!no just in Screen !!!! An athletic medium tall man ! Easy 3 inch taller than Mr T a solid 6'1" at his peak now half inch in less . Hes never was a little man !! But never a true tall men like Foreman/ Ali .P.S for a man born in 1948 he is in tall category (all fusioned generation is a little bite upper average of men... but for ney generation hes just intermediary. (A 6 feet man use NYC metropolitan on afternoon ans meet 1000 other men in 4 hours...hes certain to cross 500 under his tall and 500 upper)....for James comey Son (7'1")...he must use 1000 times metropolitan for meet a man upper him.!!! Its funny and real

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Apr/18
He's still built like a brickhouse even today. I reckon he's at the absolute worst a sliver under 6ft1 today and in his prime a strong 6ft1

slimeballl said on 28/Mar/18
I met him in 2008 at a comicon, i was 192 cm and 200 pounds and he felt he was almost as tall as me, my guees he was 187 cm comparing to my friends in that height. He had a strong grip when we shook hands and was more heavilyt built then me. I bencpressed about 200 pounds at the moment i met him.

6'1" in his prime , because he's in great shape I say 6' 0" now ... In Rocky & Predator 200lbs ... The big screen makes ya look larger

dont think he really was shother than arnold during predator days. Both was around 186 peak. arnold 180-181 now and carl still 185 range.

Bobby said on 1/Feb/18
He's dropping height, but his eye level looks to be in the 5'8 area, I'd give him a strong 6ft but only because this photo is hard to judge his height off.

Sixone said on 22/Jan/18
I met him 10 years ago. He was definitely 6’2. I’m 6’1.5 and he was taller by about a half inch.

Rob, he did start his career off playing as a linebacker for the Raiders, give him the football tag.

Allen said on 7/Nov/17
If Alan Autry is 6'3", he looked about two inches taller than Carl Weathers in the 'Heat of the Night." I'd say he's a little over 6'.

Rising - 174 cm said on 25/Oct/17
I think he looks about 4" taller than Sly for the most part, but Sly has better posture and I think Sly is 5'8.5" these days, though 5'8.25" is about as possible the last 3 years as well. Carl, Sly and Joe Mantegna are 3 guys around 70 who haven't lost more than a half inch. Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris were two others who hadn't by that age either and 66 year old Kurt Russell seems to be heading in that direction as well. It's interesting to see such variation in height loss. In Carl's case, he can also look a good decade younger than he is as well.

Dmeyer said on 18/Oct/17
The Guy hasnt droped a mm AT near 70

Dmeyer said on 18/Oct/17
If hé is only 6'0,75 he Can make Sly look like 5'8,25

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Sep/17
He still looked it next to Sly last year....

Rising - 174 cm said on 5/Sep/17
He could still be 6'1". Either that, or there's a good chance Philip Winchester isn't that tall, but 6'0.75" may be the safest guess as I believe Rob has said Carl was somewhere from 6'0.5"-6'1" all 3 times he met him. Carl looks 6'0.5" in the more recent pic, fwiw.

Sw said on 30/Aug/17
No way he is 6-2

@ Sandy Cowell - Hi!

Rob simply had to make the decision to close down his page due to the amount of time that he spend answering questions and moderating on the page, unfortunately he doesnt have the time to devote to the page anymore due to having so many commitments but we are grateful that he still manages to do everything he does for us.

I may have some more health tips in the near future!

You did right in quoting 6'0.75" for Carl's height, if there was an option of voting for 6'0.625" then that's what I would go for!

Cheers!

Sandy Cowell said on 25/Aug/17
@ Nik - Hi again! Yes, it seems to be happening more and more now because we don't have the luxury of Rob's page any more! Yes, when I was reading up on the health tips, I saw how much work that page caused Rob! I couldn't believe it! There would be an extended reply after nearly every letter! It must have taken ages out of every one of Rob's days, so it isn't really surprising that he had to call it a day, is it?

Don't worry if I don't always reply on the correct page! I might incorporate a reply with another celebrity's comment, or direct you onto another page!

Cheers!

Nik said on 25/Aug/17
@ Sandy Cowell - Hi!

On such a big website it is sometimes easy to miss a few comments, particularly if they do not make the comments page or the comments page is not up for long. We all find them eventually, and it is worth the wait! I bet if I looked around I would find a few that I haven't answered yet from a month ago!

I think that I am still not sure whether to go for 6'0.5" or 6'0.75!, I will have to think about it! - Then make my mind up!

I am glad you like my health tips, it means a lot to me that you are putting them into practice!

I hope that you have a great weekend Sandy!

Cheers!

Sandy Cowell said on 24/Aug/17
@ Nik - Ooh look what I found, and over a month late!
I must admit that I have 'sat on' the voting process myself before and that reminds me: I've long come to a decision about Robson Green and haven't yet entered it on his page, so that's something to do later!
Cheers for that!

AND I re-read the health tips a couple of days ago!

berta said on 19/Aug/17
i think peak 186 and today 185. He is 69 years old so its 99 procent chanse that he isn ot at his peak anymore.

Nik said on 21/Jul/17
@ Sandy Cowell

Yes he has Sandy!

You know what? I am not sure whether (pardon the pun!) to give him 6'0.5" or 6'0.75", I am in a bit of a quandary!

Let's just say I am going to sit on that one, not vote, and simply say that he is 6'0.5" - 6'0.75"!

I hope you liked my health tips from Rob's page on the 20th July.

Have a great weekend Sandy!

HASN'T THIS GUY AGED WELL?

He gets 6ft0.75 from me and an enormous pat on the back for maintaining what is clearly a very healthy lifestyle! 👍😇

RisingForce said on 14/Jul/17
He did have at least 4" on Sly and I think that was actually early this year, but Sly wasn't wearing lifts and is only 5'8.25"-5'8.5" these days, but more convincing, look at my April 19th post of Carl with Philip Winchester also this year. Rob lists Winchester 6'1" and Carl is as tall. Considering he's now 69, he's done really well to only lose a fraction at most, but it has made me suspect more that Carl could have been 186 cm peak. If I gave him a peak height then I'd go with 6'1.25" peak and 6'0.75" current, but it's possible he really hasn't lost anything yet. Chuck Norris made it to 72 before obviously losing anything and Charles Bronson seemed similar. Carl looks nearly a decade younger than he is so maybe he has really good genetics. Also, this year, he was looking down at Arnold: Click Here while back when they made Predator, Arnold was slightly taller.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Jul/17
Yeah this guy definitely needs a peak. Since he still looked 6ft1 presenting w/h Stallone at the Golden Globes last year I reckon 6ft1½ peak is more than reasonable.

bazza said on 8/Jul/17
was a solid 6'2 in rocky. probably as listed now.

RisingForce said on 7/Jul/17
Many pics also show Carl at least as tall or even edging Philip Winchester, look at my post below on 19/Apr/17.

Pierre, Carl isn't wearing lifts, he was just slouching more. Rob didn't even say Carl looked taller the second time. Iirc, he said Carl was near 6'1" both times, but maybe a weaker 6'1" the more recent time. I can't remember for sure, but he certainly didn't wear lifts. Pics aren't always accurate representations.

loka, I'm inclined to agree. If Carl is still a 185 guy at 69 years old then the chances have to be pretty good he was 186 peak.

loka said on 5/Jul/17
A lot of pics with Philip Winchester (legit 6,1) show that Carl is 1 cm shorter. Maybe Carl Weathers is more 184 cm nowadays. He was probably a strong 186 cm in the 70's and 80's.

opus said on 5/Jul/17
(Thomas Veil) I agree with you completely.

loka said on 25/Jun/17
i think he was a legit 186 cm in his prime and that he is 185 cm now...

Pierre said on 10/Jun/17
I think he has advantageous shoes(internal heels?) in the second picture =he looks one inch taller than in the first picture compared to Rob

RisingForce said on 28/May/17
Looks close to Christopher McDonald, who is given a current height of 6'1.5" here: Click Here

Loka said on 28/May/17
i believe he was really 6 ft 2 in his prime. 1m88. Now he is 6 ft 1, 1 m 85.

World Citizen said on 23/May/17
Listing seems accurate.

RisingForce said on 19/Apr/17
Agreed, Dingus, I saw the new series Chicago Justice and Weathers looked like he could have been taller than Philip Winchester who Rob lists 6'1", though it may have been pavement. They look the same height, which shows Carl can still look 6'1": Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Both can look a little taller at different times, but Winchester will wear boots with a bit bigger heel at times so Weathers is still at least as tall as Winchester.

Dingus said on 16/Apr/17
This guy most have a great neck, back and knees because I doubt he's lost an inch in his years. I'd say he is no less than 6'00.75".

RisingForce said on 8/Apr/17
He's definitely still above 6'0", Rob's 2nd picture shows that and the 1st picture shows how much Carl can lose slouching since that pic was when Carl was younger yet looks shorter in that pic. Rob confirmed he's still over 6' flat and close to 6'1". 6'0.5"-6'0.75" now and 186 cm peak.

Thomas Veil said on 4/Apr/17
Weathers was a legit 6"-6'1"

Definitely taller than Arnie was, hence why they used "strategic" shots of him anytime they are close to each other.

RisingForce said on 21/Mar/17
Carl is slouching more in the first pic, which is obvious since he looks taller in the second picture. Carl still easily clears 6 feet. Rob said in person he still seemed close to 6'1" and in the 184-185 cm range so 6'0.75" makes sense so I think it's likely he peaked at 186 cm. He looks amazing at 68. Sly looked very similar to Rob with Carl at the Golden Globes. Not any shorter, but not much taller, if at all.

Jordan87 said on 1/Mar/17
Firecracker,

You are saying he is definitely wearing lifts or high soled shoes with Rob? B/c in the second picture he is clearly a bit above 6 foot tall. And your also fine with Ignoring Carl's pictures with a Proven 5'8 MIN GUy ( Rob)?

Sly's height and Burgess's height have not been proven and Sly wears all kinds of things in his shoes. The Pictures with Rob are much better evidence than what you posted there.

He is a solid 6'0 nowadays ( Second Picture proves it ), and In his prime maybe taller unless he didn't loss any height, which is kinda rare by his age.

Pierre said on 15/Feb/17
He look about 6"0' in the first picture and about 6"1' in the picture with the scale.Maybe advantageous shoes?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jan/17
Actually, he still looked this the other night w/h Stallone (who most likely did not forget his precious heels)

firecracker said on 15/Jan/17
backstage from "rocky" 1982: Click Here

burt young, first on the left, was 5'6" (168cm),
you can see stallone is max an inch taller! MR T was max 5'10"(178cm), here he was wearing cowboy boots, 2 inches heels advantage, Mr t looks an inch taller than weathers due for cowboy boots. Close to weathers there is burgess meredith that at the time was in the 5'3"(160cm) range. Meredith looks 3-4 inches shorter than burt young. So, carl weathers is/was clearly under 6'1"(185cm). Carl weathers was/is 5'11"-5'11.5"(180-182cm), nothing more. Real world.

Shredder said on 11/Jan/17
Yeah , Sly can't be over 5'8.75 nowadays

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Dec/16
Rob, what are the chances o you meeting Dolph in the future?

richie said on 12/Dec/16
6'1" is very accurate for Weathers' peak height, today he is probably closer to 6'. I wouldn't say he has 5 inches on Rob in the photo, perhaps closer to 4 but during the 70/80's he was a strong 6'1", certainly looked it

Peter 179cm said on 13/Nov/16
He's not standing very well with Rob in both shots,thus why he looks 183cm.He is 185cm but more like 6'0.75 than a full 6'1,imo.Also Lundgren had him by 3-4cm in a couple of pics although i'm not sure of posture difference and footwear.So Dolph might be a solid/strong 188 now,likely 6'2.25 or so.

Mike said on 18/Oct/16
6ft 0.75 today, 6ft 1.25 peak seems good.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Oct/16
He was referred to as both 6ft1 and 6ft2 in the 70' and could look either.

berta said on 14/Oct/16
Hm he is 68 years old, but in extremely good shape so i would not guess he have lost more than 1 cm. i Think he is barely 185 today and was 186 when he was younger.

KH said on 8/Oct/16
Carl Weathers was at least 6'1 at the time of Rocky V. When he is in the ring with Doplh Lungren he was only a couple inches shorter. He is pretty old now so obviously lost some but in prime strong 6'1.

S.J.H said on 20/Sep/16
at least 6'0.75 nowadays

Arch Stanton said on 30/Aug/16
Funnily I played the Rocky IV soundtrack the other day, it's wonderful to listen to some 80s cheese every now and then!!

Jordan87 said on 21/Jul/16
Charlie,

You really have difficulty reading pictures. The Top of his head is 6'0 as shown clearly in the picture. If your going by pictures, which is what I do, Then look at the picture again carefully before posting.

Also I noticed you posted on the Arnold Boards that you thought Arnie was 5'8.5. Your either a troll or really slow. Either way this isn't my site so I could care less. In Short, look at the picture again my friend.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jul/16
Rob, maybe 186cm peak and 184-185cm today?

He looks more like 5' 10.5.The top photo he looks 5' 10. I am going to say he is 5'10.5.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Jun/16
He looks taller in the lower photo.

the Slav said on 7/Jun/16
I'd say Carl probably was 6'2 out of bed at his peak and 6'1-6'1.25 at night
Today, he looks around 6'0.25-6'0.5 at least next to Big Rob

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Jun/16
"Carl Weather's Height is 6ft 0½in (184.15cm)"
"Peak Height was 6ft 1¼in (186.055cm)"

Alternatively 6ft0¾ today and 6ft1½ peak. Not sure if he was quite a 6ft2 guy though

David said on 5/Jun/16
My dad met him n said he was way shorter than him n my dads 6'2 so I think he's barely 6 foot maybe shorter 5'11 5'10

Jordan87 said on 26/May/16
Looks exactly 6 feet tall as per his second picture with Rob.

Average man his age may loose a good inch. He was a solid 6'1 in his prime. Never over 6'2 which is his claimed height. Likely something like 6'1.25 in his prime.

Johnny said on 25/May/16
@Rob care to add 6'2" as peak height because he is listed as this on the official NFL website... and NFL heights are never wrong as they are measured barefoot by a stadiometer Click Here

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/May/16
Looked 6ft2 in some scenes w/h Stallone.

Peter 180cm said on 24/Apr/16
I cant see him as taller than 184cm,he looks about 183 with Rob.Maybe 185cm as a peak height suits him though...maybe even 186cm in the 70's-80's as he looked about 5 inches taller than Stallone in Rocky.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Apr/16
Weathers looks 184/185cm range today while Josh Holloway might be 186cm.

186cm peak, Rob?

He's very consistent w/h the 6ft2 claims

he and morgan Freeman keep their height extremely good. He hasnt lost anything :D, maybe 1 cm

Current - 6'0.5" - 184cm.

Gosh, he grew 1-inch in the latest snap and he is in exactly the same pose. Honestly, if i was a celebrity and i was doing a Comic Con, i would put a discreet wedge in my normal footwear but that is just me. I am keeping my 6'0 estimate for him.

6'0

I was up close to Carl Weathers in West Vancouver once, and was surprised at his LACK of height. I'm doubting the 6'2" by several inches.

james said on 28/Sep/15
I believe he was 6'1 back in the 1980's .he and 6'1.5 Arnold were close in height in predator

You guys, he's clearly 6'2". Look at him in American Warships, he's not getting smaller.

No they are the same age

I can see over 6 '1 peak

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Nov/14
If he's under 6ft1 now, it could only be ½in at worst.

Was for sure a 6ft1-2 guy in the 70's and 80's. Pics with Sly to prove it

Steve said on 24/Nov/14
He still has at least four inches on Rob while slouched towards him, so 6-1 is a fair listing

Judd said on 14/Nov/14
no doubt he was a real 6'1" (with a chance to be 6'1.25") in 1970's,1980's and first of 1990's, but today i am not sure...he has probably lost a little amount but he can be one of those actors who wear thicker shoes than average, to appear taller...i think he could be todày around 6'0-0.25"...

mId said on 13/Nov/14
Met him briefly at a convention here in Sweden a couple months back. My brother is 6'1 and I'm 6'(Before bed heights).. Carl was a nice guy, but 6'1.. I don't know about that. I usually study/compare the heights of the few celebs I meet(because of this site), but I was in a rush when I met Carl so I can't say for sure(He doesn't seem insecure about his height though.. Some male celebs I've met have had a little extra heel to their shoes, but Carl had rather flat shoes on). So I'm not gonna say that he isn't 6'1, but I wouldn't guess it either. If I had to guess I would say ~6'. That's the most honest estimate I can give, as I can't say for sure this time, Sorry.

Lebensdorf said on 26/Oct/14
I think 6 feet, compared to Lundgren in Rocky. I can't imagine more than 6 feet.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Oct/14
Danimal he's 6 years younger than Arnold

Danimal said on 15/Sep/14
Looks a fraction under 6'1" today (in your pic with him). Could have easily lost 1" in height at his age. Was probably just under 6'2" in his prime. All we know is that he's the same age as Arnold and has aged A LOT better. Would have 2" on Arnold today.

Concerned 181 cm said on 13/Sep/14
I could buy him being 6' to 6'0.5 if he stood his straightest, but a full 6'1? I dunno Rob. Even assuming he has really bad posture, that seems awfully generous for this picture.

the shredder said on 9/Jul/14
He is not standing at his fullest

at 5 ft 10 looks 1cm tallee than you , its a shame weathers dosnt stand military posture , you drop height as well

RisingForce says on 3/May/14-What are you going on about? I didn't say Arnold was 6'2" evening, I said 6'1.5", and Stallone around 5'9" so stop making things up. Weathers was always thought to be around 6'1" and the fact that Rob said he still looked 6'1" in 2010 at 62 and still around it in 2012, maybe a hair under it by then confirms it in my mind. That's stronger than anything you've presented considering I'd seriously doubt Rob would be off by an inch, much less 2 considering how many people he measured for that height challenge.


i just understood you are another fanboy, like fanboy31. rob is doing a great work, but with many profiles, he can be wrong. Most of listed heights here are based just on question-answer, how tall are you? i am...
few profiles have the pic with rob, in those cases the evidence takes over words. i could do many examples, i take just one: Benjamin Ayres. He said he is 6'2". Is it true? comparising his pic with rob it seems pretty fair. So at the same time, you can clearly see how ayres is at least 3 full inches taller than weathers. weathers at 6'1" is simply a joke. like arnold at 6'1.5", and Stallone around 5'9". Totally out of real.


Totally unreal for Stallones peak too???? Lol haa r u effen kidding?? Chalk it up to another classic Rockefella-Brisco downgrade. Your a professional troll

Yah rob must be doing a good job considering you downgrade 99.9 percent of the listings.

What are you going on about? I didn't say Arnold was 6'2" evening, I said 6'1.5", and Stallone around 5'9" so stop making things up. So don't go repeating the argument as if it's Arnold at 6'2" in the evening in hopes of making those arguing against you seem ridiculous. That's nowhere near 6 inches with Norton either, 5 inches max depending on posture and ground level. That camera angle isn't even as good as the first one, but what exactly does that prove anyway? Weathers is still slouching yet looks similar to Mr. T despite Mr. T also having a footwear advantage. I don't think there's a big difference between Mr. T and Weathers either since the difference wasn't that big in Rocky 3, but Weathers is obviously more than an inch taller, likely around 2 if both are barefoot and standing straight.

You're not proving anything or even making a good case. Weathers was always thought to be around 6'1" and the fact that Rob said he still looked 6'1" in 2010 at 62 and still around it in 2012, maybe a hair under it by then confirms it in my mind.

RisingForce says on 30/Apr/14 Plus, Weathers is dropping a bit of posture, he's clearly a little farther from the camera and he's still not shorter, I don't know where you got that from....

i am really tired of this....ok carl weathers is 6'1", stallone 5'10" barefoot, and of course arnold was 6'2.25" in the morning, 6'2" in the evening....ok good night.

mr t was clearly under 5'11". mr t with former heavyweight champion ken norton:Click Here

norton was in the 6'3" range, he is clearly 5-6 inches taller than mrt. you talk about posture to defend weathers and company, now i do the same. Mrt has a good posture, straight, while norton is relaxed, no good posture. He towers over mrt.
mrt was in the 5'10" range. For sure.

the camera angle is ok here?:Click Here
Carl is in the 5'11" range, a weak 6ft very young maybe.Anyway, clearly far from a legit 6'1". Oakland Raiders listed him at 6'2"? do you know eddie murphy was 6'3" when he was 21?

i do not find the right words to describe this comedy, it is sad and funny at the same time, ahahah

rockfellas said on 1/May/14
he looks max 5'11" here with rob. far from 6'1". Carl weathers is part of this big group of hollywood movie stars with overestimated heights.

pic from RockyIII behind the scenes(year 1982):Click Here

In the middle there is mr t, who is the only one with height advantage because he is wearing cowboy boots, 2 inches heels. I refuse to talk about stallone, we can't imagine which kind of lifts he had into his shoes. It has been proven mr t was in the 5'10"(177-178cm)range. Far right there is carl weathers. Close to weathers there is an old Burgess Meredith. Burgess Meredith's height was 5ft 4in-5ft5in at the time. Weathers looks 5-6 full inches taller than meredith.
Weathers looks a little bit shorter than mr t, but mr t had cowboy boots on.
THIS CLEAR PIC, SAME GROUND LEVEL, SAME CAMERA ANGLE, SHOWS CARL WEATHERS IN THE 5'11" range. He was 34, peak height. Carl weathers was in the 5'11"(179-180cm)range, a weak 6ft is acceptable as max peak height. WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, ANYTHING OVER 6FT IS OUT OF REAL FOR CARL WEATHERS.

RisingForce said on 30/Apr/14
Of course, when you downgrade everyone to suit your agenda, you can argue Weathers at 5'11". Here are the problems with that, it's never been "proven" Mr. T is 177-178 cm so don't casually toss around definitive words like proof and expect us not to notice, and in fact, I believe Mr. T is was at least the 5'10.5" peak he's given here with a good chance he was 5'11". You've acknowledged Mr. T's footwear advantage, and while I have no idea if Mr. T was in lifts, cowboy boots like that are among the easiest shoes to fit them in. Plus, Weathers is dropping a bit of posture, he's clearly a little farther from the camera and he's still not shorter, I don't know where you got that from. And where on earth did you get 5'6" peak for Burt Young? Burt was more likely in the 5'7.5"-5'8" and he's the closest to the camera of anyone. I have no idea how tall Burgess Meredith was peak or at that time, but look at his feet, they look to be at angle like he might be tip-toeing.

Of course, a 5'11" peak Carl Weathers also means the Oakland Raiders overlisted his height by 3 inches which isn't remotely plausible based on how the NFL usually lists height, a 3" height exaggeration anywhere outside of wrestling is rare, and the NFL has typically been the best of the major american sports at least when it comes to height listings. Then we have to believe Rob overestimated Carl Weathers height by 2" AND that Weathers hadn't lost any height by 62.

Sorry, but each one of these things is a stretch to say the least, but put them all together and this isn't remotely plausible, and really based on absolutely nothing other than an attempt to downgrade Arnie's peak to 6'0" max.

another one. Carl weathers is part of this big group of hollywood movie stars with overestimated heights.
above, he looks max 5'11" with you rob.

but:Click Here
pic from Rocky III behind the scenes (year 1982):

In the middle there is mr t, who is the only one with height advantage because he is wearing cowboy boots, 2 inches heels. I refuse to talk about stallone, we can't imagine which kind of lifts he had into his shoes. It has been proven mr t was in the 5'10"(177-178cm)range. far left we have burt young, he was in the 5ft 6in range.
far right there is carl weathers. Close to weathers there is an old Burgess Meredith. Burgess Meredith's height was 5ft 4in- 5ft 5in at the time. Weathers looks 5-6 full inches taller than meredith.
Weathers looks a little bit shorter than mr t, but mr t had cowboy boots on.
THIS CLEAR PIC, SAME GROUND LEVEL, SAME CAMERA ANGLE, SHOWS CARL WEATHERS IN THE 5'11"(179-180cm)range. He was 34, peak height.
Once again it is proven this 6'1" is clearly overestimated for carl weathers.
Carl weathers was in the 5'11" range, a weak 6ft is acceptable as max peak height. WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, ANYTHING OVER 6FT IS OUT OF REAL FOR CARL WEATHERS.
When this comedy will be over?

So please rob, you should downgrading carl weathers at least of an inch.

He is more 6'0.5 , 6'1 peak.

Nicks said on 14/Apr/14
Do most of the tall actors you meet have large heads and facial features? All the ones I've met have unusually large heads. Maybe the camera favors bigger faces.

1.82 said on 13/Apr/14
1.85 is correct

chucker said on 14/Feb/14
I believe Carl was a weak 6'1" at his peak. No way 6'2", not even close. I met him in the early 90s. Super nice guy!

Lorne said on 30/Jan/14
Yeah, it makes 6'1.5 for Arnie in 20's and 30's believable, along with edging out Ton Aenold, but other times, I am convinced 186cm! Arnie is a tricky one, for sure...

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jan/14
I think this guy is good evidence that Arnold could've been a weak 6ft2.

Lorne said on 20/Jan/14
He did look shorter than Arnie, a solid 6'1, but not much over, 186cm max.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Dec/13
@theshredder: I agree

the shredder said on 10/Dec/13
He looks not even 6'1 , his peak was about 6'1.5.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Dec/13
He's listed at 6ft2 and 6ft3 in college football. My deduction is that the former is a morning height that he was measured and the latter is height in football boots? Just another prime example of athletes getting overbilled.

Lenad said on 8/Dec/13
184cm up straight

George said on 30/Oct/13
184cm. Maybe 184.5

miko said on 16/Oct/13
He's a 6 footer these days.

Lorne said on 22/Sep/13
Wow, wow this guys hair isn't even gray, and just a cm or so of height loss? Time has been kind to him. Or perhaps him to time... And seeing him with lift less Stallone in training vide, I'd give him 186cn peak, today still a very solid 184cm, maybe just a fraction shy of 6ft1.

Kyuss said on 20/Sep/13
6.05 peak,,hollywood bump up again.

Yaspaa said on 7/Sep/13
You couldn't tell in Predator, they were together 2 times , in one Arnie looked taller, in the other, Weathers.

richie said on 29/Aug/13
Don't think Carl could ever have been shorter than 6'1", he had close to 3 inches on Stallone who did wear lifts I believe and was almost as tall as Arnie in Predator

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Aug/13
Looked minimum 4in taller than Stallone in Rocky through to Rocky 4.

"Peak height was 6ft 1.5in (187cm)"
"Carl Weathers height is 6ft 0.75in (185cm)"

Looked 186cm with Sandler

Yaspaa said on 7/Aug/13
The guy is fit and healthy, minimal height loss.

alan b. said on 17/Jul/13
6'1"??? another fake. This Carl Weathers (peak) was 5'11"-6ft.
people have no idea about height proportions, no idea, unbelievable. All those action movie stars, like him, schwarzenegger, stallone, willis, ferrigno, all them overestimated.---

LAMB2157 says on 5/May/13
IM 6FT TALL AND MET CARL AT THE COMISARRY AT UNVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLWOOD SOME YEARS AGO HE'S ABOUT 5'10"---------
Stark says on 23/May/13
Carl used to play football for the Oakland Raiders. Former team mate, Kenny Stabler mentioned in his biography that Carl was approximately 5'11".-----

NO NEED TO SAY MORE.

Kyuss said on 15/Jul/13
Both him and Schwarzenegger claim 6-2" which is wishful..carl 6-0.3/4 or 6-1" peak and not much less now a days,arnie good 1/2" under 6-0" now.

Rey said on 14/Jul/13
I can see 6 feet and/or .50 or .75

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jun/13
Peak height was 6"1.5"(187cm).
Today looks fractionally less than 6"1".

Connor 184cm said on 22/Jun/13
He looks awesome for a 62 year old and still looks quite young his skin is great not one wrinkle on him 184cm for this guy and of of my favourite actors.

Connor 184cm said on 21/Jun/13
Rob carl is maybe 184cm today?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jun/13
186cm peak, Rob?

Emil said on 17/Jun/13
He looks really good for 62 years old in the picture with you, Rob.

Mr. R said on 25/May/13
Carl is a surprisingly tall 6-1. I see him around Hwood.

Stark said on 23/May/13
Carl used to play football for the Oakland Raiders. Former team mate, Kenny Stabler mentioned in his biography that Carl was approximately 5'll". He went on to say that 5'll" was a tad small for an NFL linebacker.

LAMB2157 said on 5/May/13

jimmy said on 27/Mar/13
Does Apollo Rob looks taller in person than Kellan Lutz?Because look at them beside 6'5" measured former NFL player Michael Strahan:

Click Here

Apollo looks 6'.5" here.But the blond guy looks at least 6.2"(I have always suspected him as a lift-wearer).How do u explain this?

Dmeyer said on 15/Feb/13
So Rob when you met him hé didnt look as short as 6'0.5 in more like 6'0.75 in at peak hé dosnt realy look taller so 6'1 or 1.25 tops now 6'0.75

Bakura said on 17/Jan/13
187cm peak and 184 nowadays.

Stephen said on 8/Jan/13
184 in the top pic no more.

Aragorn 5'11 said on 2/Jan/13
6'0 barefoot. 183cm.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Dec/12
If he's still 6ft1(185.5cm) then I suppose even 6ft2(188cm) peak isn't out of the question. He's 64, almost 65. He looked minimum 5in taller than Stallone (probably 5ft9-5ft10) in the ring barefoot.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Dec/12
186-187cm peak, Rob?

msn87 said on 26/Nov/12
Looks 183-84 cm with Rob. Looked 185-86 cm with Arnold (187 cm) in Predator.

The Exorcist said on 11/Nov/12
Peak,
Weathers: 6'1"
Schwarzenegger: 6'1.5
Stallone: 5'9"

Today,
Weathers: 6'0.5

Stallone: 5'8.5

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Oct/12
Was 0.5.in shorter than Arnold in Predator.

Frank said on 25/Sep/12

"Carl Weather's height is 6 ft 0.5 in (184cm)"
"Peak height was 6 ft 1.25 in (186cm)"

:)

Jose said on 2/Sep/12
To be honest I see him around 184cm (6'0 1/2"). Maybe a tad taller in the morning, like 185 or 186? Who knows!

Dmeyer said on 19/Aug/12
Sly did a good job to never look 4 in under weathers or arnie

the shredder said on 15/Aug/12
rob , what would you guess his peak ?

tom said on 15/Aug/12
He looks like marcus allen w/o the mustache. He still looks a strong 6'1". Saw Rocky 3 today --they use so many odd angles when Stallone in the scene.
