6'1" barefoot....he is listed at 6'2" in every other site which is easy to believe as he isnt that much shorter than 6'3" samuel l jackson and is pretty much the same height as michael caine so maybe 6'1.5"
Umm, From what I've seen, Michael Caine pretty much towers over Bale...

if he's less than 6', than A. Eckhart is 5'9 and that's hard likely. I think Bale is as listed.

true height is only barefoot.everybody is wearing shoes it means everyone is getting about 1 inch (2-3 cm) so that is pointless to say somebodys height with shoes on.

I doubt he`d say he was 6 ft if he was taller, on the pics he might be wearing insole lifts, I know someone who seems to have got suspiciously taller, yet is past the age for growing.

@Chris I agree 6'2" could also definitely be a possibility.
The whole time i seen the two stand beside each other bale looked no more than an inch shorter than jackson
It says 6 foot here but other records claim 6'2" so 6'1" at peak would be accurate

Caine looks 6ft actually these days. 6'1 when younger.
bale looks 5'11 in the batman films and only in the Machinist when he was RAKE thin did he look 6ft. In the prestige as well bale looked 5'10.5. Probably just an illusion of course.

183cm(6"0) is a plausible estimate for Bale...the batman suit probably brought him to 188cm(6"2) though. At night he probably drops to 182.5cm(5"11.75) and wakes up at 184cm(6"0.5)

I personally don't believe either guy is the type or even has the diminutive stature to want to wear lifts. Camera angles, yes. I think Nolan and Bale are really just about the same height.

USYD, 184.5cm is a weak 6"1. 183.5cm is a strong 6"0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did u work that out. To be 6ft1 you have to be atleast 185.42cm, so to make life easier let's say 6ft1 is 185.5cm. So 185cm can be seen as a weak 6ft1(even though ur half a cm below the mark). Therefore 184.5cm will be 6ft0.5 or could be described as a solid 6ft that's all, not a weak 6ft1, that's would be stupid.
Bale is no lower then 183cm/6ft and this is his Iowest point, so i suspect he 6ft0.5/184cm around mid-day.

It could be that maybe they were in lifts and also it can be camera angles. Bale looks no more than 182cm(5'11.5).

Rob sorry don't mean to be annoying but are you postive that bale is actually 183cm?
I saw the Prestige last night and i thought bale looked like maybe 5'10 in that film........ he is also a few inches shorter than Ashton Kutcher who demeyer met and said he did not look over 6'2 to him.
Maybe its bale's body type that makes him look smaller than he actually is. i can't belive he was given 6'2 in the past as well.
If he is 6'0 then he is a short looking 6ft guy in my opinion.

i find 5ft11 hard to believe. go to the Aaron Eckhart article and check the photo Anonymous posted. Bale, Maggie G and Eckhart from 'Dark Knight' lined up. Eckhart seems to be 5ft10, Bale is indeed 6ft. He is taller than Maggie even when she's packed. Either that, or Bale used lifts for that event and I find that hard to believe. His height never fluctuates in movies, except TDK where he looked a tad taller than the late H. Ledger.

5'11 1/2 is not impossible given how much shorter he looks than 6'2 (188cm) Ashton Kutcher.

Well Kutcher is 189cm/6ft2.5, and if you think Bale is 2.5" shorter, that makes Bale 6ft0, like the listing above suggests.

here are some pics from the batman begins premier. 182cm is not impossible fore bale but i think he is classic 6ft guy. Liam Neeson looks 192cm a lot as well but could that be bad posture?

Yeah, I don't see a 3 inch difference between Freeman and Bale, especially in Johno's second photo. 2 inches is easier to buy. Also, there's no photo from that "3:10 to Yuma" event where the difference between Bale and Crowe appears to be less than 1.5 inches.

....Although pheonix could be as low as 5'7, he has been documented as low as 5'7 in some corners. Crowe in turn could be as low as 5'9. I'll siding with 5'10.5 for bale for now although, he could be taller but i don't think he is in the keanu reeves 6'0 category. The man is extremely proportional, long legs with symmetricall features. Very thin at times, he could pull a 6'0 off on screen quite easily but a 1.5 inch exaggeration might be in order not quite the 2-3 inch exaggerations alot of celebs pull out and not quite the 4 inch blaitent exaggerations guys like arnold and vin diesel quote..

You can see the footwear in the last picture, pretty similar. At the end of the day i dnt see much of a height difference between crowe bale, 1 inch.
Crowe is listed as 5'11.75, 6'0 virtually, this seems very far out there. He was about 2 inches taller then Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix is in the wahlberg territory of height, 5'7.5. I believe crowe is 5'9.5 and bale an inch taller then him 5'10.5

As a sidenote, i find it ironic that guys like christian bale and leonardo dicaprio are always estimated between 5'11-6'0, with the naysayers speculating a height of 5'11 minimum and the discussion of 5'10, 5'9 doesn't even come up and guys like wahlberg get hit hard, with height estimations as low as 5'6, and debates that he is between 5'7-5'9, no mention of 5'10 what so ever when he is clearly only 2-2.5 inches shorter then bale and 1.5 inch shorter then dicaprio. Thats why i believe guys like bale give a taller then reality height impression and guys like wahlberg with stumpy limbs never get estimated higher then actual heights.
Bale is 5'10-5'10.5 (brandon routh dwarfed him also, didn't look close to 6'0 at the golden globes)
Leonardo dicaprio 5'9-5'10
mark wahlberg 5'7.5

Its hard to judge the height between bale and mark wahlberg. I was aim for complete pictures including footwear. Both are wearing thick heels, with bales looking 0.7 inches thicker then wahlberg. The height difference seems 2 inches or so and deducting that 0.7 inch heel advantage bale has, i believe bale is 2-2.5 inches taller then mark wahlberg. Whatever height bale is at, deduct 2 inches for mark wahlbergs.

Saw The Fighter and it's funny, you'd never guess a 4 inch difference between Wahlberg and Bale for most of the movie (maybe a weak inch!). Bale's dodgy posture doesn't help. But when they get on an even surface like in the boxing arena scenes, the height difference becomes much more apparent.

Donchino is right , in every scene in The fighter he looks above average height and he completely towers Wahlberg so defentely not under 6 feet ,he is taller than most of his acting crew in most movies he's in so. then i think his thin but yet well built body type makes an illusion that he may be closer to 6'2 but he is not. bulkier body types makes a shorter illusion. while thin body types make a taller.

Even if he is 5'11" thats far from short. With shoes he is 6' to 6'1. He is one of the few leading actors that can hold his own in the height department. He is taller than Cruise, pacino, Deniro even Vin Diesel. If Russell Crow is 5'10.5"...then from a picture I have seen them together in... Bale is definetly right at or barely below 6'. Thats not short by Holly Wood standards.

Don forget the height a celeb states for a man is normally an inch taller than they really are. He states 6ft has his height so im guessing around 5ft11 or there abouts.
For a woman they always underestimate their height by an inch normally to appear shorter than they really are.

What's for sure, it's that Bale cannot be (clearly) taller than 6 ft. So all those estimates above are ridiculous and not worth writing. Personally I think that Bale is 5ft11 or very slightly above. Take a precise look at him near Brandon routh. There are enough pics on the web.

just rewatched equilibrium and he was very similar to sean bean who is 5'10.5" on this site. maybe had a cm or two on him but that probably was due to shots where bale was closer to the camera. couldnt see a full inch though so im going with 181cm for bale.

5ft11 flat looks right based on the recent evidence. I'm sure if he was a solid 6ft he wouldn't have possessed such massive boots in Batman, they gave him at least 2" - 3" extra. I guess they wanted him to look 6ft2 considering Ledger was 6ft1 and so probably 6ft2 in low-cut boots. The thing is with Bale is his fluctuating build: he can look 6ft2+ at first glance when bulked, but a mere 5ft10.5 looking guy when skinny in the "Machinist".
On a side note, 5f9 Michael Keaton was small for a Batman, but was convincing. I doubt a 5ft9 actor would be considered for the role again in this day and age, which is a shame.

take a look at the Internet Movie Data Base and look for Bale's height. They list him as 1,79m. Even if I think that might be just under his actual height (and that the actor's heights are changing almost weekly on this site) you gotta admit that no agency would downgrade actors by at least 4inches. More likely they add one or two inches and push it to the extrme. Bale is not 6"2', that should be clear for everybody. 6ft is the absolute Max for this guy and he's reaching it probably with shoes on. Compare him to Christopher Nolan and Brandon Routh, Morgan Freeman. The difference is obvious.
And Hugh, please stop complaining about guys downgrading celbrities, I don't appreciate this neither, but you tend to upgrade almost every celebrity on this site. You seem to know the celebritie's height better than themselves, don't you?!
I repeat it, but Lenad's heights are just too extreme and just ridiculous.

U gotta remember that Christian is clearly taller than 5ft7-5ft9 guys in movies and also of screen, if he'd be only 5ft10-5ft11 the height difference compared to guys like Steve Zahn, Jared Leto, Taye Diggs etc...wouldn't be so obvious. About his temper, I think a lot of method actors have personal problems, because they are so devoted to acting. One good example is Mr Bales performance in the Machinist. Dropping that much weight cannot be healthy physically nor mentally.

I would guess he is probably about 5'11.5 and does have bad posture accounting for him looking shorter a lot of the time.. Weird though..

Also it would appear that Bale is leaning against a truck. I'm not sure about lifts. I wouldn't argue in the picture with Nolan that I posted that the angle gives Bale an advantage. But, to be fair, I think some of the other photos posted give Nolan an angle advantage.

I disagree with the previous opinions that Bale's too serious as Batman. Nolan gave him some witty lines in both movies. Whereas nobody has done a Bond as serious as Craig before, there have been several silly Batmans. The second that Batman gets too comedic, you're straying into Adam West-Joel Schumacher territory. It doesn't get into overt irony or campiness, and that's one reason why some people consider The Dark Knight to be the best "comic book" movie to date. Not that I'm saying Bale has a sense of humor personally, since he obviously (for whatever reasons) can be kind of a miserable ****.

I do agree james he does have bad posture in the pics. maybe this is abit better. i think eckhart is standing straight and bale is leaning slightly towards the great michael caine. I think if he straightens his posture, he'll have an inch on eckhart. i think 6'0" is correct (althought i think he is on the weakish side).

Christian Bale is very difficult to give a height on. But here are my personal observations.
- looked at least 7cm+ shorter than 6ft2 Morgan Freeman.
- 1 inch shorter than Michael Caine (i doubt he is the height listed on this site considered him next to barfooted 6ft2 Clive Owen in Children of men
- I saw at least 4in between him and Liam Neeson in Batman Begins but on the premier photos he looks at least 12 cm shorter.

- looks barely 5'11 next to Brandon Routh (for more proof just google the internet with both names you'll see 1 pic where they are both sides showing)
- didn't look taller than Aaron Eckhardt in The Dark Knight (5'11)
- and really looked 5'11 next to Morgan Freeman in The Dark Knight (scene where they are both standing in China and Bale takes a pfotograph. Just watch the movie you'll see the diufference.
- besides, he looks the same height as Christopher Nolan (not more than 5'11)
Conclusion: Bale's 181cm MAX. Can't be taller judging by movies and pics. My personal guess is 5'11.

I'd be amazed if he was a millimetre over 5.10 - even if he was stretched on a rack! Does slouch and stoop a lot though.
The Dutch 6.1 followed by Danes 6.0 are the tallest people in the world - good point about Koreans.
Interestingly Americans tallest in 19th century at 5.10 for males are now more like 5.8.

Rob, during the MMA 2006, Bale gets the award for the best superhero. When he comes to take it he stands opposite to Routh for a short time, on level ground and with no angle advantage for anyone. You can see that the height difference between them is at least that of the pics of cb. Bale can't be over 5'11.

Bale has a poor posture in that pic but he is closer to the camera, has a strong angle advantage. But I think it doesn't actually matter since they try to give him a taller look in Batman movies anyway. You won't find sequences there in which he looks short, because Batman as an intimidating superhero must be tall. It's the same with James Marsden, he mostly looks the height of Jackman in X-Men, although he is over 10cm shorter.

I agree with BerryRed, Bale does look 1m79 and Brandon Routh is six two. Rob, time for a downgrade.

Editor Rob I'm not sure they are on level ground. That looks like a little joining board, and nobody knows if it is level...

I really doubt that Bale wears lifts, when he could just straighten up that posture of his instead.

I think the highest he is is at 181cm and the lowest, 180cm max(5/10.75).

Jst been watching the The Dark Knight again. (TOP MOVIE by the way). Take a look at the scene between christian bale and Morgan Freeman when they are in Hong Kong and Bale's taking some photographs.Bale looks definitely 8cm shorter than Morgan Freeman. And he also looks 3-4cm shorter than Michael Caine. You can see that when they are both going to the elevator in the Batcave.

Conclusion: he maybe wearing lifts sometimes. He's 182cm max and 179cm min.

James, take a look at crowe with 5"9' Ben Foster he looks the same height. Crowe is probably less than 179cm.

Looks more like 5"10.75, cause he and Eckhart were about the same height.

Wow. Those Routh pics certainly put to rest the 6'1"/6'2" claims for Bale. He looks a solid 5'10.5" there. Is it possible that Bale (at times) wears lifts?

you right BruceWayne, Bale doesn't lool like a full 6". It's also very possivle that he is 5"11. But I don't think that he's below that mark. Besides, the photo with Routh is a good example.

cb, on your last pic, I can't say that Bale appears taller than Eckhardt there to me. Bale is one of my favorite actors but in my opinion he doesn't look like a 6ft man at all. I think he is maximally 5'11, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was 5'10. Men around 6ft like Christopher Walken have a different stature, they look taller. Next to Brandon Routh Bale looked over 10cm shorter. Nevertheless, one of the greatest actors, I think.

Don't forget that Bale has a huge head aswell. He can look short because of that. He got a head like a halloween pumpkin.

I doubt this guy is above 182cm. He's probably 181 cm in the evening. Just take a look of Bale and Neeson background pics. you can find them on google if you look for bale/neeson. On this pic, they are both on the ice. CB is a little bit closer to the camera and neeson is not standing straight. Bale has an excellent posture on this one and there is a difference of 12 cm between both.

Because he picked up a slight American accent in real life it helps him do a convincing American accent in movies.

Bale is Six feet even, no use debating it. It's settled, he claims it and looks it.

He speaks with an American accent now because he wants to, he changes his accent at will, he is an actor, it is not difficult for him to do, he puposefully kept it after Batman because he didn't want to change back.
Here are the general heights of some places

a little bit about the german height debate,they're definitely not the tallest in Europe;height distribution in germany is more or less like the height distribution in the US.you have quite a few tall people,but there are a lot of shorter ones around too.i was in germany for 3 weeks and noticed that.similarly,my tour also included austria and sweden,and the swedes were definitely the tallest. I could be wrong statistically as I've not checked up on that,but the swedes seemed to be the tallest,with a lot of people being taller than me (im 5'10.5).i was in austria only for 5 days and don't seem to have too much of a memory of them,but in a marketplace they seemed to be similar to the germans.the germans though,seemed to be most well fed,and were quite broad and had the biggest frames out of the three.i saw a lot of fat people in germany,and a lot of well built ones too,especially unlike austria.

Yeah my Aunt lives in America and she has picked up an american accent and people she meets mistake her for an American. So living in america for a long time can change your accent.

Well, he's been in the US so long that even when you take him out of his American accent for the movies, it's still a very American-sounding English. I've seen a few interviews with him, and even his normal speech is very American, now.

Now I'm afraid I have to disagree with you James. I was shocked to find out that Bale was British due to the fact he's putting on that perfect american accent in Batman.

I would also guess that he is 180cm, 181cm max. In the dark knight, he sometimes even looks a little bit short when he wears his boots. I mean, he is not short, but in my opinion, he does not really look like 6ft. Nevertheless my favourite actor, next to Connery.
