Bale is at least 6'1. Worked with him on a film. Bigger guy (larger upper body) than expected. A solid 6'1, maybe even reaches 6'2.

well batman.. I was in berlin and they just did'nt strike me as tall from memory (not saying there weren't any).. that's why I was shocked to hear tallest in europe.. but like I said, I'm wrong.. moving on :)

mID, no, most statistic evidence refers to people of the Netherlands as the tallest (by nation, as JesperBlomqvist pointed out). But there are also sources which claim the German people are taller. The Nilotic peoples of Sudan such as the Dinka have been described as the tallest in the world, with the males in some communities having average heights of 1.9 m (6 ft 3) and females at 1.8 m (5 ft 11) but this does not refer to a nation. Nevertheless it is simply nonsense that you were in Germany for a couple of days and nobody was taller than 5'10. Even in the 8th grade you find kids who tower over 5'10 there. I know that because my cousins live there.

I'm not joking with what I said. if someone told me germans were tall in general I would'nt belive it because they did'nt strike me as tall from memory.. I belive I was there for a couple of days.. 2-4. but I'm not trying to argue with anybody.. I must be wrong since statistics and people from germany say so.. I just said I found it very strange that they were supposed to be tall on avergare because I just never seen them as a tall country. netherlands on the other hand I did. sorry if I offended anyone? why would you lie, so I guess they are tall and I just did'nt notice it when I was there. I know there are some tall germans (famous people) but I just never figured they were tall in general. but I admit I must be wrong then. would be funny if I found some old photos from the trip and people around on all photos were like 5'10.. then you would know where I'm coming from ;) but like I said.. I can't be right then and memory must be playing tricks with me. Are they really supposed to be taller in average than holland too in europe? I'm sorry, I just find that hard to belive.. statistics really show that?

mId: joking right? Germans are really big. Even taller than austrians who are also fairly tall. But if you were in restaurant for an hour your statement is possible. If you spend a week there you would realize they are tall

and JesperBlomqvist.. of course there are short people in sweden too.. I said that.. but I said that I would say that the average here is 6 feet.. like I said.. I'm not tall in sweden at all.. I'm considered average.. And I bet good money your'e not 6 feet.. because if you were measured in the military you can take away 2 cm from that measurement.. I measurerd myself correctly and were 2 cm shorter than what they said. And don't tell me you are The Goju kai Jesper.. in wich case you are 5'10 tops hehe :)

about the germany thing.. I said I did'nt remember anyone over 5'10.. ofcourse there has to be.. I just pointed out that when I was there.. yes it was a couple of years ago now.. I don't remember them as being tall.. and they would have to be if they were supposeed to be the tallest in europe.

Well, it depends which source you refer to. This one claims 181 cm average for German men which would be more than the 180.1 cm of the Netherlands: Click Here
And I have also read scientific articles claiming 184cm average height for German men. But I know most data suggests that people from the Netherlands are the tallest. But mID, I don't know what you mean. I'm 6'3, and the majority of my German friends is taller than me, one is 6'8. Are you sure you weren't in the kindergarten?

By the way, the tallest people in Europe are as follows:
By nation - The Netherlands (average height 180.1 cm)
(second is not Germany - not by far - but Norway).
By ethnic group - Croatia (Dinaproesk Mountains - Average height 181 cm)
By social group - Norwegian Conscripts (ages 16-21, average height 180.4 cm)
Norway is the up and coming country to look out for where tall people are concerned. Old Norwegians are actually much shorter than old Danes and old Swedes, but they started growing tall one generation ago, along with Holland, whereas we are growing tall now, in this generation. In other words, when the currently old people die and the current 40 and 50 year olds become old, Norway will be the tallest in Europe, beating even the Netherlands. For a while, they may even be the tallest in the world, but that will be shortlived, because genetic studies have shown that, in 30 yrs time, the tallest people in the world will hail from South Korea, the tallest Asians who are already 10 cm taller than they were only two decades ago, and 8 cm taller than their North Korean counterparts (who are the same genetic stock). Interesting stuff!

MID is actually wrong - our average height here in Sweden is not 182.88cm (6 feet), it is actually 177 cm, and that is based on self-reports. As a medical doctor, I can confirm that self-reports are always a little higher than they should be, even humble people like the Swedes add a few centimeters! The problem here is perception, and that's why many people reading this would disagree. You see, the younger people would have a higher average than the real average, and everyone would be shocked to read the real average because older people are less seen, and we are surrounded by youngsters. Also, it is a proven fact that people remember tall people, whereas short people are forgotten. It has been proved in psychological tests that people who are between 174-176 cm are completely forgettable, whereas everyone remembers someone who is 190 cm, which is almost 6'3 as being notably tall. Perception affects a lot of judgements, and even more studies have shown that people are very bad at calculating things such as national averages. I was amused to read that here in Sweden, a survey showed that more than 80% of our people think the fattest people in Europe come from Italy. Again, it is a question of perception - the correct answer was our neighbours Finland, who are also the leaders in Europe for Cardiac Diseases. People just don't realise certain things, but that doesn't make them less true!
By the way, I met Christian Bale at a dinner, and he is no taller than 181 cm at most. My army papers show that when I was 18 I was 183 cm and that is what he is according to this site, but something must be wrong because standing face to face with him, he was a good inch shorter (maybe we had different heels, but still, he is no taller than 181 for sure) than me.

I recently read that the tallest people come from the Netherlands (Man average height 6), directly followed by German people (man average height 5'11.5). Some sources also say Germany has the tallest people in the world. American average height for men was 5'9.

oh, just have to add one more difference.. american football and baseball and basketball are not as big here as they are in america obviously.. I would say basketball is the most popular here out of the three. we have soccer (we call it football here) instead of american football. even though you can watch the superbowl and stuff and some people play it here.. but it is not a big sport at all here. our version of baseball is translated burn-ball.. and is not a real sport or televised.. and is played more for fun. you strike and if you don't make a homerun or are are safe you can get burned (similar to baseball) but like I said we play it more for fun sometimes (college-students) and we add drinking.. so translated we call it drunk-burn-ball.. basicly it's drunken baseball ;D later man!

I was reading further down on the page about height in sweden.. I'm a legit 6' feet. little more most of the days (this is night of course I'm 6-1 out of bed). I live in sweden and I feel short here. my father is my height. my brother is 6-1 and I am the shortest out of all my six male cousins (two of them are over 6-3). some females call me tall but men call me short ;D average anyway.. most guys here are 6 to 6-1 it feels like. you see 6-3 guys everywhere and I alone have two friends who are 6-8. I think out of my friends only two are under 6 at 5-10. of course there are short people here too but if you are 5'10 maybe even 5-11 you are considered short here. If you look at my classphoto from college I guess you would call it I'm one of the shortest.. most people are 6-1 and then of course there are some 6-2 to 6-3 people in it. I wish I was atleast 6'1 because I do a little mixed martial arts and people always have reach on me it seems. funny being 6 feet and feeling like mike tyson when it comes to reach :P /greetings from sweden

My guess for him is 5'11. In the dark knight, he does not really look like 6 in many scenes. 6'1 Heath Ledger looks clearly taller. Actually, I know nearly every movie of him but, at least to me, he always looks like 5'11. I'm a huge fan of him though.

Yep, and I would say Bale is a meso-ecto. He's not a true ectomorph, that much is obvious. A "classical ectomorph" is a bean-pole with narrow shoulders and chest and wider hips, and a near inability to put on much fat until much later in life.
Most people are mixtures of body types, and Bale is hardly your classic case of an ectomorph which is almost a caricature.

I agree with Richie, need a downsize. Bale don't look as tall as many sources say. He looks at least 5,10.5 or 1/3 at the most.

viper: yeah,thats what i mean,just cuz you have broad shoulders and chest,it doesnt mean you're a mesomorph. on the other hand, you could have medium framed shoulders and chest and still be more of a mesomorph than an ectomorph. its related to more on how you put on weight, where you put it on, how eating affects you etc.

yes i could agree to bale being a meso-ectomorph,but i wouldnt classify him as an ectomorph.i know what an exact ectomorph is like,as i was one all throughout my younger years before i did something about it. i wouldnt agree to bale being an ectomorph because he never looked like one even when he was younger.

According to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Bodybuilding of Encyclopedia 'narrowness in chest and shoulders' is actually a sign of an ectomorph. True there are many different combinations of body types, but Arnold himself classified himself as a meso-ectomorph. If you compare his bone structure to Bale's there's a massive difference. Too many times people just see muscles and get dazzled into thinking the individual has the classical superhero mesomorphic frame, when a lot of the times its just an illusion. I agree James, Brad Pitt is also an ectomorph. And dits, despite the masses of muscle Stallone has put on, he is also an ectomorph or at least a meso-ectomorph, he even admitted as such in an 80s interview that he doesnt have a great bone structure typical of a bodybuilder (mesomorph).

I hate to spoil all this somatotype discussion but these theories are very unreliable by today's scientific standards. Bodybuilders still use the terms as an easy way of classifying people's bodies. In reality, considering how the somatotype system is flawed and its creator was more inclined to behavioral studies than physical, most people can actually be MIXES of the three types. Like I could pass as an meso-ecto or ecto-meso.
As for Bale, I think he's a legit 184-185cm guy. He's hard to tower over. Probably 186cm 6'1" in the morning.

an ectomorph is somebody like jon heder.i could give more examples of ectomorphs but none come to mind.
bale is not an ectomorph.if you look at his younger pictures you'd know that he naturally had some build which he's added onto now.his shoulders may not be the broadest but ectomorphs and mesomorphs aren't distinguished by shoulder width,but by their natural overall body build, along with metabolism and stuff,which we cant possibly know of bale.bale keeps himself looking slim in a suit, because his waist is probably around 32 inches, and because thats what most of his roles demand. even stallone looked slim in a suit in the 80s, but he was in no way an ectomorph.

Trust me he's an ectomorph. Just because he's muscular and ripped doesnt mean he's an mesomorph. A mesomorph has broad shoulders and solid joints. Look at Bale in a suit, he's a very slim man, classical ectomorphic build.

lol bale is a mesomorph for sure,not an ectomorph.its just that he lost 60 pounds for the machinist,otherwise he has a solid build.

He does have a carefree posture and walk about him. His frame also doesn't help him. Although with some people a slim body frame makes them appear taller, Bale's very ectomorphic build combined with sloping shoulders makes him come across as a small guy.
Amazing too how they use camera angles in films. In The Dark Knight when Batman is 'interrogating' Heath Ledger (joker) it's almost as if Bale is a foot bigger than him the way that he is tossing and throwing him about, holding him up against a wall etc whereas in reality Ledger is (or was) at least an inch taller.

he acts with a lot of taller co-stars.thats why he never really looks 6'0,but really he's around that height.5'11.5 is the LOWEST he could probably be.

the lowest this guy is 5'11.75 and the highest 6'0.25. in the batman movies he has got pretty big arms and a figure that might make him look a little shorter. the guy is most likely a legit 6fter.

anonymous, BUT if you look at Bale in comparison to Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine who are both well over 6' then you should still come to the conclusion that Bale looks 6' easily in your photo.

good to see all the 6 foot supporters come out.i strongly believe he's 6 foot,dont get me wrong.my point was that he isn't 5'10 or any of the other heights being mentioned around. its weird because even with russell crowe he's definitely taller by about 1.5 inches, and i've seen crowe at a distance of a meter and he's really about 5'10.5 because im the same height. if bale was 'short' then he wouldn't be 1.5 inches taller than him.

johnny: yup that picture shows bale is a solid 5'11.5 atleast,he has about 1.5 cm over nolan.don't go by nolan's hair. your second picture is a little weird to judge by, as bale has a weird angle and is leaning forward a bit too.
i believe that the best judge for bale's height are his pictures with russell crowe.bale isn't lying about being 6'0,he may be 5'11.5, but thats about as low as i see him go.

I had this disagreement with people about Leonardo di Caprio - they constantly figured his height to be lower than 5'11 but from press junkets and interviews, I knew he looked a solid 5'11. Bale is the exact same height. Look at the pics with Crowe (who is a max of 5'10 on a good day)at the premiere and in Batman he wears huge rubber boots. Compare 5'11 Speedman to 5'8 Dafoe in Anamorph and Bale to Dafoe in American Psycho and you will agree that Bale doesn't look 6'1 standing face to face with him at all.

Bale looks almost four inches shorter than 6'4" Liam Neeson. 6'2" is definitely a joke! Bale's peak height is 6'1". I would agree with 6'0 1/2" too.

Bale is 5-11 barefoot, end of story. Photographic evidence is overwhelming. My dad is a sold 6' and with dress shoes he goes up an inch or an inch and a half. Crowe was wearing sneakers, Bale dress shoes so Bale had an advantage, an there was still hardly a difference (maybe 1" or 1/2"), almost 6' not quite.

yeah roger he was made to be leaner to make him look like his batman life took a toll on him somewhat. in batman begins it was shown how he missed his sleep n stuff, and in dark knight it's shown that it's taking a toll on him,because no matter how much of a superhero he is,bruce wayne's still a human.

If you check out photos of him and Katie holmes at various "batman begins" events, you'll find that he, while wearing normal Adidas sneakers or regular shoes (I guess) always has at least half an inch on Katie - who wears high heels in most photos. So 6' straight - as he says of himself - seems right on the money.
Did any of you notice he appeared a little leaner - less bulky - in "The Dark Knight"?

No more than 2 inches shorter than Morgan Freeman in the Dark Knight. And, no more than an inch shorter than Caine. Look at him with Ledger? You folks that have him 5'9 to 5'11 must be reading Jonathan Swift or something. Wake up! He is six foot or slightly taller. End of discussion.

If his height is more from his spine than his legs then it would explain the variations in sightings as he'd shrink more through the day than a long legged person, surely? He also has terrible posture, I'm sure that can't help

I knew a girl who worked on 'Begins and asked her about Bale's height. What she said was a little contradictory. She stated, 'oh not too tall actually, about 5'8-9" I think, a little taller than you (at 5'10.5?)', and pointed above my head (at the 5'11" mark). I think perhaps she was a poor judge of heights. Indeed, the guy she was with was a giant (like 6'5 or 6"). Still, Bale often looks a solid 5'11-6', unless next to Freeman where he looks decidedly shorter than him (particularly in 'Begins).

@maximus: I agree. Everything from 6'0 and above is considered the tall side of mankind everywhere in the world. And I also know all these 6 - 6'1 guys that are half a head smaller than me at 6'1 barefoot. It's funny. But with women it gets even worse. Most of them think their real height has to be measured in their high heels. So they are very surprised if you ask them to take off their shoes when they get measured.

Just watched Dark Knight last night. Next to 6'2.5" Morgan Freeman and 6'2" Michael Cain, Christian Bale looked a solid 100% 6 foot guys. Although, I think he should have weighed about 15 pounds more with muscularity to make him look intimidating as Batman.
Anyway, fabulous movie. Undoubtedly, the best movie of the year and the best comic movie ever made. Definitely, one of the best movies of all times.

Guys, claims for Christian Bale being 5'11 or under are pure nonsense. Check out gettyimages.com, type in "Holmes Bale", and you'll find enough photos of Bale in flat shoes (sneakers) standing next to Katie in high heels from various "Batman Begins" premiers. He has around an inch on her. And she's almost 6 foot in heels.

When a guy says he is 6 feet, that means he's between 5'10 and 5'11.
I've seen too many guys who claim they are 6'2 or 6'3" and can't be more than 6 feet.
I tell people I am 5'10. I'm really 5'9".
Bale is a strong 5'10. He looks like it, 5'11 at the most.

I don't think 5-10 is in the conversation because true 5-10 guys always have 'short rumors' following them. In other words, there would be some 5-9 or 5-8 sightings. If 5-10 sightings are the shortest sightings, then this guy is a 6 footer. It's weird like that.

I agree with Ed(1). I believe Bale is a little under 6'. He's slim and a strong 5'11" which will give the impression of 6'+. Michael Caine is maybe a little over 6' these days. (Caine was 6'1" peak).

In the dark knight, Michael Caine looks the same or sometimes an inch taller than Bale. I say 6ft for Bale is a good estimate.

i was watching tmz.com the show on tv the other day and he was signing some autographs and didn't look that tall maybe 5'11 or 5'10 didn't look above average or anything like that.. maybe because he was slouching and/or was in a tallish group.
and in the dark knight he didn't look that tall, I bet he is 6' but just doesn't seem like it.

He really didn't look more then 6ft-6ft1 tops in his Batsuit in The Dark Knight! I'd personally peg Bale at closer to 5ft11 then 6ft barefoot, split the difference and say 5ft11.5. He looked the same height as Aaron Eckhart(5ft11), shorter then Micael Caine(5ft11.25) by close to 2 inches, and a good 3 inches shorter then Morgan Freeman(6ft2.5). 6ft is the max for Bale, but I'd guess he's shorter and rounds up.

In the Dark Knight Morgan Freeman looks way taller then Bale. I seriously would put him no taller than 5'11 considering that Freeman is 6'2 and looks much taller than him in the movie.

He seems almost 10 cm shorter than Freeman in the Batman movies, so 1.80m - 1.82m seems accurate for Bale.

Did he wear lifts in American Psycho? Because I got the impression he was 6'2" in that movie. In Batman, he was clearly shorter than Michael Caine so I thought 6 foot was more likely.

I dont know, I was really thinking Bale looked to be at about 5'10-5'11 after seeing both "Batman Begins" and "3:10 to Yuma". But I began to think he actually looks a bit broader in those two movies then in some of his others. Some may say otherwise, but I think when you look broader you tend to look shorter. For instance my step father is literally 1/8 of an inch taller then I am, and yet everyone I have met always acts like he is 2-3 inches taller then I am when we arent side by side. But he is fairly thin and has pretty average shoulders. I on the other hand am, at the shoulders, 14 inches larger around (measuring the shoulders all the way around that is). So from personal experience and taking note of peoples remarks I would say being a bit more filled out can actually make you look shorter. As far as average height in America goes, the lastest reports put it at 5'9 and alot of experts say that that is only going to continue to go down due to the poor diet of the average american.

I have just seen on of the trailers of the next Batman movie. In some scenes Magye Gyllenhall is standing next to Aaron Eckhart, listed here as 179, and they seem to be the same heigh, maybe because she was wearing heels or whatever. How ever in the scenes with Bale he seems tobe taller than her for at least two inches. This could mean that Bale is at least two inches taller than Eckhart, which takes us to the same place: Bale is between 6ft an 6'1''

Michael Caine migth have lost two inches as much nowadays, but anyway let's say that he's still 6ft1. I have seen a picture in which he's standing beside Bale, and yes, Bale is slightly shorter, but he isn't standing straight at all. So if we take that into consideration, we can say that they stand the same heigh, whatever it is 6ft or 6ft1.

Average height statistics tend to vary. I have a friend from Sweden who told me the average height for a grown man there is 177cm (a hair under 5' 10"). I'm not sure where he got this figure, but I shouldn't think he'd have any reason to make it up as he's 185cm (about 6' 1" I think).

Actually 6' (which is considered "tall") guys are not very common, even less so are those over that height. 6'4" and above is legitimately "very tall". It also depends on geographic area as well too.

met him at the premiere of Batman begins. i'm 5'8'' and he's quite taller than me. that's certain. i glanced down and he was wearing normal shoes. i'd say 6ft and a bit.

I saw Christian Bale in London last October and I think I agree with Johnny Boy, he does not look anything close to 6ft, I would say around 5ft 10 5ft 11 at the most.

Tough One - looks taller than Crowe in the 3:10 to Yuma Premiere red carpet pics but Crowe is wearing ridiculously casual shoes (not sneakers but similar) and Bale is wearing leather one with large heels so I don't know about those (plus the Carpet was not on concrete ground, but grass or something). I think Bale is 5'11.5 if he were put to the ruler.

I remember that sometime ago somebody posted a link to some photos of Bale and Crowe in a movie premier. Crowe looked very short. In fact, I'd say bale had at least 5 cm over Crowe, who is claimed 179. Besides, i've seen other photos of Bale and Jackman in another premier and Jackman did look taller than bale, but just for around 5 cm as well. So, 183 is perfect to me.

Chris Bale may be 6 feet tall but I don't think he's any taller than that. In all the films I've seen him in, he seems to be average height. One thing that I notice is that his upper body seems short, so that may make him appear to be shorter than his height. He could very well be 6 feet but not any taller. Also, Michael Cane and Morgan Freeman are pretty tall guys, so even a 6 foot tall guy would be a shorty around them. None-the-less Chris is hot hot hot. My other questions is: what color is his hair? It seems darker these days but I always thought his hair was a lighter brown in past films.

A good actor (excluding Laurel Canyon, Newsies et. al). I only began thinking about his height when I saw Batman Begins, I was very suprised he got the role but then again, Batman Begins was mostly made in Britain and Chris Nolan is British himself. Anyway, in most scenes by himself, Bale seems 5'11 to 6'. But what I have the most problems with is his footwear in the film. In his Bat-suit he has massive rubber boots (see behind the scenes documentary). I don't know how many inches this adds but it seems like more than 1.5. Yet when Bale interacts with other males in the movie he seems short. The fact that he put on so much weight for the role doesn't help his height perception either. If I were to make a bet, I'd say 5'11 barefoot, maybe 5'11.5 with normal shoes.

You can't go by what you see in films. Camera angles and other techniques are used to minimise any noticeable height differences between the actors, and also to add height to the leading man. I say Bale is 6ft max, probably 5'11.

If you guys watch 3:10 To Yuma, there are many scenes where Bale and Crowe are standing next to each other, and they're pretty much the exact same height. If Crowe's listed as 5'10", then Bale must be a tad closer to that than 6'0". I'd say he's 5'11" max. Every time I watch The Prestige, he just doesn't stand up to Jackman as a 6'0" dude would.

I've met Christian Bale. I have brothers who are 6'1" to 6'-3". Mr. Bale is definitely without a doubt 6'-2".
He refers to himself as 6 foot, because it is the British way to generalize, I know. It also made many Batman fans happy that he was actually the height of the Batman from mythos. So, argue all you want, your perceptions are off if you think or assume else.

Sorry folks, he is 6 ft 0 max, probably more like 5 ft 10. I've seen him in a film premiere in London last year, and he's noticeably shorter than me, and I am 6 ft. In most of his movies, the director of photography tries desperately to film the scenes in such a way that would make Christian look taller (you will notice this in many movies with Tom Cruise as well: the cameraman simply avoids shooting from afar without zooming and shooting from above), but unfortunately that rarely worked.

fair point perhaps. i concede that CB towers over the actors in rescue dawn but who says steve zahn is 5 ft 8inch? he seems much shorter. closer to 5ft 6in in other films, namely the one where he plays an escaped convict that teaches the kids a dance routine. Happy Texas is the title maybe? his co-star jeremy northam towers over him in every scene and illeana douglas, his love interest, seems taller than him. check it out.

I had already accepted that his heigh wasmore like 5'11 than taller but then i saw the Today show clip where he is shown in a scene with Aaron Eckerd (aka Harvey Dent) inthe new Dark Knight previews. And he appears to be shorter than Eckerd who is listed on this site as 5'11. I predict one year from now Bale will be downgraded to 5'10. Nothing wrong with that in my book but 6'0 seems too high. I do respect those that have met him but I can't reconcile those anecdotes with the pictures of him seeminly dwarfed by other actors. Sorry folks.

In Rescue Dawn, a barefoot Bale is standing in next to 5'9.5" Greg Quiyum(who I knew well in Chicago). GQ is wearing pretty big army boots and is probably hitting 5'11" with the boots on. It looks like Bale is still an inch taller than GQ. So, I'd say 6'0" barefoot is right.

Editor Rob it's an annoyance yes, but just put the url into the box on tinyurl.com to get a shorter link to it. There's a reason I had to do this I won't explain, but I might have killed all links otherwise, put it that way...a necessary evil.

I'd say 6'1.25", 186 cm, but he has bad posture, so he looks 5'10", look at this picture where he's stand up strait next to Liam Neeson.

He is nowhere near 5'9-5'10. I can't see Bale below 5'11 1/2 minimum.
