The difference between Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan is less than the difference between Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. If we assume the others are correctly listed, as I think we justifiably can, then the 5'11¾" listing for Bale makes a lot of sense. He can look a full six feet sometimes because he is slim and because ¼ inches are small and difficult to detect.
Overall 182cm seems like a good fit.

I would be be very shocked if bale was a 5'11.6 guy, he doesn't strike me as the type of guy who is, and claims his morning height.

More proof here as he holds his own against Bradley cooper who is standing closer to the camera if you look at Bradley's feet: Click Here
It's a real shame there's no decent snap of bale and ledger together, if so bale would have imo his 6' listing.

6ft, the guy held his own against 6'2 listed Jackman in "the prestige". And would so with other 6'2-6'3 guys. While also being much taller than Russell Crowe in "3:10 to Yuma".

In Shaft he looks about what Rob has him listed next to Jackson. 5'11.5 worst case a best case of 6'0 like Mark said below. Was about a 5cm difference. I think Jackson was a peak height closer to 6'2" tho and probably nearer that in 1999 than his 6'1" listing.

Hans Meiser,
You likely have narrow shoulders and a naturally small frame. 143lbs is Very Light for a 6'0 Adult Male ( Despite what those BullSh!t BMI Calculators say). Guys on the High School Football team that appeared to be very skinny ( JV) weighed around 150 at 160 around age 15 ( they got thrown around quite easily fyi).
You may feel comfortable but Christian Didn't and his comment makes sense to me. Again, You may be naturally small framed which is fine. Everybodies body I different.

I can't see how he could be 6' if Natalie Portman is really 5'3".
In this video, even if we assume those heels are a full 3", that only puts her at 5'6" and he's no more than 2-3 inches taller than her—regardless what might be going on in his shoes (maybe 4" taller than her if we're being really generous). I think he prob has proportionately long legs and looks like he's 6'. At any rate, one of the two needs to be corrected.

He was about 3" Shorter than Brandon Routh who is at least 6'2 with Rob. Bale may not be 6'0 but I doubt he is much under it, and def not as low as 5'10". I'd put him at around 5'11 to 5'11-1/2 right now.

It's premature to start talking about height loss. Bale is still a young guy in his early 40s. At most, we're probably talking a 1/4" and if he's even lost that, he was probably always near 182 range and simply dropped from 5'11.75" to 5'11.5". But with exceptions of wrestlers or major surgeries, height loss is really not an issue for most until they get into their 50s or sometimes 60s and when someone looks noticeably shorter, not a 1/4" tops, which is easy to account for with posture, regular differences in footwear, slight ground differences etc.

I think 6'0" makes sense for when Bale was younger but now a days closer to 5'11.5"
His weight shifts have without a doubt taken a hit on his body and spine and would contribute that to being the reason he's lost any height if any.

Editor Rob berta, a 5ft 11.75 listing for Bale may well be the best guess based on all we've seen of him over the years...it would fit quite well...
but he may have been taller by a tiny amount 10-15 years ago, I do think the filming of American Hustle did cause him some issue with his back, not as bad as the director made it out to be though.

How on earth hasn't this guy been downgraded already? he looks .5-.75 inches shorter than ryan gosling who's 6'.25 AND you just downgraded 50 cent who looks the same height as christian bale and in some pictures even seems to edge him out. on top of that the average guess from 95 votes is 5ft 11.75 which is pretty much what he looks like which is a weak 6 footer.

Yeah he hardly looks a full 6'0"/183 cm but 5'11.5"/180 cm is slightly too low. 5'11.5"/181-182 cm would be the best fit for him IMHO.

@ Heightcritique He does look a little taller than Arnie in fact,maybe 1cm and i would say they had similar footwear there as Arnie's sneakers and his sandals look close.Still i wouldn't argue over 181cm for Bale with 180 a low-guess.

He's tall, but he's not exactly at 6'foot. He's clearly shorter than Jackman and Freeman by a full couple of inches, to my opinion he's more 182cm than 183. And he's just slightly taller than Eckhart in The Dark Knight. But who care 182 or 183 cm, 1cm that doesn't deserve that we quarrel! ^^

@ James B - Hello James! I'm sorry about the delay in answering your question, but I've only this minute found it!
It is a really good question actually because I thought initially that he was a bit of a d***head when I saw him in 'American Psycho', but then when I saw him interviewed on the 'extras' about the role, I found him instantly likeable!
He doesn't take himself too seriously either, which I find attractive.
The answer to your question has to be a "yes" as he has grown on me, but I didn't think so at first. So many attributes have to be taken into consideration when coming to such a decision. I don't reckon much on what is deemed conventionally good-looking unless the fellow has other, far more important qualities to back his looks up!
So have a very merry Christmas James and a happy new year too!

Bale often looks 6 ft but I've seen 6 3 and he claims to weigh 170...not possible with his build.
He then claims to have gained 99 pounds to make his beefy batman likely 215-225.
Then he gets fat back to 6 3 and 228 must be measuring his hair in shoes..
Kinda funny these actors either never get measured or they just like to make non sense up.
Average day look 6ft 200lbs 511 190 if he is the shortest 6 3 guy 215
I have a friend similar build when fit he weighed 200 at 511 3/4

Next to 5'1-5'2 range Witherspoon ( in big heels ofcourse so she's probably closer to 165 in them,if not 166-167cm range ) Bale looks a good 15cm taller...If he's 183 flat,that's only straight out of bed...My best guess is 181cm,just a fraction north of 5'11-at worst maybe even a flat 5'11 (180cm) after a very active day.

Do you agree rob that bales dad does not look over 6'3?
Editor Rob 6ft 3 maybe

As a matter of fact I can't take offence at Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton as Batman cause they were the two Batmans of my childhood memories though Clooney ruined it all. haha. But to be truthful Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were two of the worst Batman products ever. And Nolan's and Burton's Batman movies were the best so far. But afterall Bale was the best Batman no doubt about it.
He's 6'0 and Tom Hardy proved us that even a 5'8 guy could be Bane. so a 5'5 guy could be Batman. haha.

5'11.75 makes more sense. I personally find it not easy to picture bale at a full 6ft like I found it hard to imaginr clint Eastwood at a proper 6'4.

The Big Short is not a good one to compare Bale's height, he barely stands next to any one and actors of unknown stature when he does. Perhaps his oversized baggy shirts suggest a smaller guy.

Gosling looks a solid half inch taller than Bale but Gosling often looks only six feet himself rather than the full 6'0.5". Gosling wasn't more than an inch taller looking than Russell Crowe at the Oscars last night IMO, Bale actually seemed relatively taller than Crowe at the 3:10 to Yuma premiere than Gosling looked in that instance!

I think he could measure 183 on a good day,and closer to 181-182 evening time,maybe 181.5 cm,so 5'11.5 is fair for Bale,although he actually looked barely 180 to me in TDKR...

I'm not sure about that 6'0" claim, to me he doesn't look this tall. A lot of men starting from 5'10" will claim 6 foot and will be convinced they are really that tall. I'm not saying Bale is necessarily 5'10", but yet somehow standing at 181cm Nolan is looking as tall if not taller on almost every single picture, and I doubt Nolan is the guy who wears lifts.

He does seem more in the 182cm range.
Watching TDKR for a third time and there was a scene with Freeman where Bale looked way too short to pass for a legit 6 footer. There was a bit over 2 inches of differenccme between them. Usually the difference between a 6' and 6'2 guy isn't all too drastic, but the only though I had when looking at these 2 was :"Wow,Bale looks so short next to Freeman."
5'11.75 would be more accurate, sometimes he even gives a 5'11.5 impression.

To all Batman fans please know that Batman's 6'2 height was not given by Bob Kane or Bill Fingers.It was given by Filmation enterprises right after the live Batman series ended in 1968 and taken from Adam West's size who was the only popular Batman at the time. DC got them from Filmation.
Had Keaton been around in the 60's and chosen for the role, Batman would've had his height specs. Take Hugh Jackman for example ,he played Wolverine and he is 6'2 did you all know that Wolverine's real specs given by creator Stan Lee are 5'3" .No one seemed to complain?

Bale I think looks near 0.75 inches shorter than Ryan Gosling. To be honest a six foot flat measurement seems quite possible for Gosling and 6'0.5" is quite generous for a mid-day measurement for him IMO, which would make Bale only a strong 5'11". Sometimes Bale convinces a six footer but yeah I'm becoming a convert to the idea that he's more 5'11.75" tops in the afternoon. Bale has crappy posture sometimes, quite the opposite of their preeminently height-conscious co-star Brad Pitt.

Whenever I watch batman begins it does strike as being a bit overdone and overacted, between batman and robin and batman begins there was obviously a lot of talk about the next film. i do get the impression that nolan and the film cast did try there very best to make batman begins seem as good as possible which is evident in the acting (especially Michael Caine as Alfred) since they were under a lot of pressure to resurrect the dark night successfully after 1997s train wreck.
Nolan's batman's movies are not perfect but the comic book cult fans will always hype them up.

MD - i kind of disagree Val Kilmer did pull of quite well showing us Bruce Wayne's dark/ totured side, especially if you look at scenes in batman forever at his parents funeral. Sure Kilmer was handsome but obviously looked nothing like Bruce Wayne.
In my opinion keaton and kilmer were belivable as the dark knight, the way clooney acted as batman was an insult to fans even though he was dark and classically handsome (not that tall though) like Bruce Wayne is. Ironic he looked perfect in the part with his square jaw, but he never seemed to wipe that smug look of his face throughout that entire laughing stock of a movie. He didn't show any emotion as batman at all.
I am a little indifferent to christian bales batman/bruce wayne and not nesscessarly just because he put on that over the top voice when he whenever he wore the bat-suit. He was passable as Wayne, but like someone said on the Keaton page his enemies stole the spotlight from him. Even though it should not matter he does have a reputation in real life as being a bit of an aggressive pycho which is evident in the memorable incident where he assaulted his mother and sister at a London hotel at the UK premier of dark knight. Bales film carrier since batman has never really taken of. I think Keaton personally was a grittier more believable batman.
I could of course just have a bias towards Keaton and even val kilmer since there batman films were a bit part of my childhood film memories.
On a final note Ben affeck is the first batman actor to have the build and height of Bruce Wayne. We will have to wait and see how we'll he does when his portrayal of the batman hits the big screen.

Since we're talking about the actors to play the character, Only Keaton and Bale were believable to me, the first because Keaton was the first to play him in a feature-length film (and nostalgia since it came out when I was a kid) and Bale because he gave the first dark and really complicated personality of the character. The other actors and films were the low-point of the franchize almost to the point of being offensive for any real fan as far as I'm concerned. lol

Well Rob kilmer's batman (batman forever) is a childhood gem of mine (I was 5 when it was released) so maybe I have a bias towards it. I would say its my fave childhood action movie and it is fun to watch today today for laughs because obviously you can't take a campy film like that too seriously. Yeah I agree clooney's bat film was a train wreck lol. A real insult to bat fans and movie goers alike. Obviously as we'll burtons bat films were big part of my film buff childhood.
I thought batman begins was a a decent movie and easy to follow but seemed a bit overdone but possibly given too much praise by fans. Dark knight and Dark knight rises I feel you have to be a fan of and read a lot of batman comics to really appreciate, because I couldn't really follow the plot very well of those 2 movies.

To me C does sound like the most feasible height for Bale. On his weight, I think at times he could look 20 or so pounds lighter in The Dark Knight Rises than Batman Begins. In a more recent film like Out of the Furnace that I just recently watched where he's just supposed to look average (not jacked, a bit tubby or skeletal), I notice he looks a little more gaunt and lined than you'd expect for a guy just a bit under 40. I'd say all the weight fluctuations may have taken a tad of a toll.

I'd also say to always take weight transformation claims for Hollywood movies with a grain of salt, particularly the muscle transformation when you hear "So-and-so packed on x pounds of muscle in x months!" Even when it done unnaturally the claims are usually bogus, and done little more than to get an actor/actress publicity.
I'm not speaking specifically on Bale, who's changes are probably more obviously true than most. But the claims (particularly for the upper weight limit transformation) should be taken with skepticism. I mean, I think Tom Hardy claimed getting up to 205lbs for the same movie. While he definitely added weight, that claim doesn't look above board, especially when compared up to Bale quite a few inches taller who claimed approximately the same weight.

I read he bulked up to 100 kg/220 lb during post-Machinist weight gain but looked too chunky so leaned down to appx 200 lb, I would say he looked to not pack on as much in the Dark Knight sequels, more like 185 lb.

@Grizz
Because he stopped training and let the muscle go to flab. If you bulk yourself up you have to be very careful if you get ill/injured as you can end up fat. Plus 90 kilo is pretty heavy for 6 foot. Im 93 myself and when i get to 96 kilo even i feel it. 100 kilo is bodybuilder weight, Bale isnt that.

For anyone even with passing knowledge of body transformations or just common sense, you know that two people of the same weight (and even the same height) can look drastically different depending upon whether they are muscular or fat, and even two people of the same weight and build can look different depending on where their weight is stored. It's really not that difficult to understand. We all have examples of this in our everyday lives with people we know.

He is in the 5'11.5-6'0" range, whereas someone like Leonardo DiCaprio is in the 5'11-5'11.5" range. I think it's fair for him to claim 6'0", even if he is a little shy of that mark. If I had to give him a non-fractional height, which is how I like to look at it, it would be 6'0".

Don't think he's 6 feet tall all day long, but I wouldn't put him under a strong 5'11" range. Minimum 181cm but he's likely 182cm, weak 6footer

One of the few male actors who is totally honest about his height..6' is exactly right for Bale as his barefoot day height

He doesn't come across to me as a true 183 cm man. He looks closer to 181-182 cm. I think if Benedict Cumberbatch is really 5 ft 11.7 in (in my opinion Cumberbatch is a true 6 foot man), then I think Bale needs to be downgraded to 5 ft 11.5 in (181 cm).

Yeah, I heard that originally, Leo was going to star in American Psycho but turned it down to star in The Beach (dumb move imo) and Bale was going to cast as Jack in Titanic but was turned down because Cameron didn't want 2 british actors portraying American characters
American Psycho with DiCaprio in the lead would be horrible as would Bale in Titanic. I'm sure they'll get together eventually. I thought The Beach was quite good. Great OST!

Reportedly there has been a history of tension between Bale and DiCaprio over competition for parts, with Bale rumored to be vindictive towards DiCaprio in the 90s over DiCaprio's success. IMO Bale is the superior actor despite being a difficult sort, DiCaprio's anchored several good-to-great films but at times he smacks of effort in more dramatic scenes. DiCaprio's produced a few films starring Bale now so anything's possible.

While I do believe Bale to be a genuine 6 footer, I would love to see DiCaprio and Bale in a movie together to see the height difference betweem them
I'd love to see those two have at it on screen. Not just to gauge height but chemistry. Anyway, I reckon Bale would edge Leo.

He might measure 5ft 11.75 after a hard day at the gym. I would be very surprised if he measured lower than that.
mmmm i am not sure...i think after an hard day he can be closer to 5'11.5" and averagely is close to 5'11.75" so in the 182,0 cms range...someone who's at his/her absolute lowest 5'11.75" (so 182,245 cms) is assumed to be 182,5-6 cms on average low and maybe close to 6' on a good day and this make him a "weak 6'"...i think he's more a 182 cms guy than a 183 cms one...

Rob, how tall do you think his wife Sibi is? A google search says she's listed as 5'11 but photos show that this is obviously an overbilling. I have a feeling that Sibi may be actually like Arnie's wife Maria in terms of height haha.

[Editor Rob: I wouldn't assume he was standing at his tallest, there are instances of Bale looking 5ft 11...in American Psycho he looks taller than he does there with her, I'm sure he had nearly 3 inches on Jared Leto in that film, at least 2.5 anyway.]

Rob, sorry if i insist, but how do you explain how a 5'1.5 girl looks so tall next to a guy who's supposed to be 6'? She really does look near 5'7 if he's 6 foot or near that mark! You think she's wearing almost 6 inches heels (which actually give near that amount)?
[Editor Rob: he can look 5ft 11 with her I think...whether he really is that I doubt, but 5ft 11.5 isn't something I would be shocked about.]
If that's the case, list him 182cm. He really never looks a big 6 footer... A David Duchovny would be noticeably taller.

Well, if she's wearing 3.25 inches, she's about 5'4.75 (basing on your listing), so she appears like a 5'3.75 woman... Are you telling me this is an example of a 5'11 man vs a 5'3.75 woman? Then he must have what? A nearly 11 inches head? Come on :)

[Editor Rob: I would have said they were roughly 3.25 of height and him 1 inch...I think he can appear like a 5ft 11 guy, but I don't know if he is dropping more height.]
actually rob, i don't think he's a flat 6' guy.
i admit that he seems taller than a flat 5'11 but i am sure that if he will meet an honest 6' guy, like Duchovny, he would be a tad shorter...
i can't buy that between him and Cooper there is just 0,5"...maybe not a full 1" but for sure 0,75".
i think 5'11.75" would be much better, because he's a "182 cms guy".
i think it's likelier that he was measured (if measured) just a bit under 6' and then he round up to 6'.

You mean 5'11 in shoes? I've managed to see her footwear from the event and her heels really seem to give 3.5 inches "at best" (possibly more 3)... Now, Bale looks what? 6 inches taller at best? That really would make him max 5'10, if you see the picture above!

William Ficthner didn't look over 5'11.5 with Michael Rapaport in PB... His 6'0.5 claim probably comes from a shoe measurement, so i don't think he's over 5'11.5... Again, how can a 5'1.5 girl look so tall next to a 6' man? Is she standing on a box?

It's odd that he claims only 6' I always thought he was at least 6'1 based on movies where he appears next to famously tall actors. For instance Liam Neeson in Batman Begins with his 6'3-6'4 should tower over him if he were only 6' but he doesn't

Yeah, I've seen enough evidence recently to suggest to me that Bale can be a 5'11.75" guy. Pretty close to six feet, it's hard to determine a quarter inch but does look maybe 0.75 shorter than Bradley Cooper and not anything more than an inch over Joel Edgerton.

Also, can you explain why does he look so "short" here with Reese Witherspoon? She doesn't look more than 5.5 inches shorter than him... If he's 6', he's gotta be around 6'1 in shoes, making her 5'7.5 range in whatever heels! You think she's wearing a pair of heels which ACTUALLY give her 6 inches???

I always thought he was like 5'9-5'10 because of his body structure, he's so sturdy and bulky. He just doesn't look anywhere near a 6 footer when he's alone! Of course, you can see that he must be at least close to that when standing next to Morgan Freeman in the Batman movies but still...
I suppose he's 6' tall alright.
