Christian Bale's Height
5ft 11 ¾ (182.2 cm)
British Actor best known for playing Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy. Other memorable films include American Hustle, The Machinist, The Fighter, The Prestige, Empire of the Sun and American Psycho. In a WWD interview (October 2010) he commented on his height and weight loss for The Machinist: "I just assumed that I would be around 145. But then I just decided I was going to go for it. It's just an extra nine pounds, and I can drop that in a week or so. But I'm 6 foot - it's just not healthy." He has consistently claimed that height, listing himself in the 1990's at Height 6 feet tall.

We have no idea about their footwear but that's more than 8cm that looks about 4 inches.

I liked his Batman portrayal a lot tbh, it’s funny rob i have very fond memories of bales Batman in primary. Batman is a very interesting character to me, there’s very few people whom I consider my Batman…. Bale is number 2. Keaton, number 1.

Not any less than this, can pass for a 6 foot guy at times. Clearly taller than 5'11" guys.

You pick pictures with bad/unclear angles. Watch Reign of Fire, he definitely edges out McConaughey.

Next to Matthew McConaughey they seem to be the same height. I think he deserves a downgrade to 180cm.

Next to Ryan Gosling (which I believe he's 182 or 83) he seems to be at least 2cm shorter than him in this pic. Don't you think Mr bale is only 5'11?

I personally think he's a smidge under this listing, at 5'11.5. Heath seemed to be an inch taller than him, which would either mean Heath is as tall as 6'0.75 (which could be the case), or more likely, Bale is probably 5'11.5. I am willing to bed that earlier in his career, he was probably the full 6'

i think this is th ebest listing for him overall, guys lke henry cavill, chris pine and john cena would look taller than just 1 cm. But all of them could be 184,5 if they are lucky. I really think bale could have lost height early. I saw two of his little older movies, one movie where they had problems with dragons and another where he was a soldier that where captured, i guess the movies were made around 2004-2006? Something like that, he was 100 procent at peak is what im trying to say and he could pull of 6 foot. These days he always look like a almost 6 footer, back in the day he could look like a guy that manage to measure 6 foot. I can believe that he was 5´11 7/8 and now is 182 cm flat. But at the same time he may always have been this height. Under 181,5 feels impossible and same with over 6 foot. Anything in that range is possible.

To me, he looks about 6'1" (1.85m-1.86m) in the picture with Reese Witherspoon, who's about 5'1" barefoot, with another 3 inches in high heels. The heel on Christian Bale's shoes might add another 2cm (1 and ¾ inches), so barefoot, I reckon he's 183cm (a solid 6ft) in the morning.

His height is so inconsistent. If I had just seen American Psycho alone, I would have thought he was easily 6’. Or maybe it was because of Bateman’s ego that made him seem taller.
Either way..

Bale looks ~5'11" there. Solid 4inches difference.
Probably the same height as Benedict Cumberbatch.

Maybe 1/2inch between Bale and McConaughey.
Bale is 181cms tall with good chance to have 5'11.5".
Matthew McConaughey is just as Rob listed him.

He’s definitely 6ft+ probably even closer to 6’1 with shoes on. My brother stands at 178cm 5’10 and Bale looks a good 2-2.5 inches taller than him. Both with sneakers on (Bale - Adidas Gazelle).

He's not 2.5 inches taller than Casey Affleck. Watch "Out of the Furnace." So Bale's likely 179-180 cm. Great actor.

I suspect Bale wears lifts and is actually 5'10 range. Sometimes he barely looks shorter in photos with Michael Caine and Hugh Jackman. Other times he looks more than 3 inches shorter than 2005 Morgan Freeman and Brandon Routh. Roughly the same height as McConnaughey and Aaron Eckhart, all of which claim 6 foot but are actually under 5'11

Rob, would you ever consider the full 6’ for Bale? He’s certainly not taller than Pattinson, but I would assume there’s barely even a half inch between them (let alone a full one @Duhon). I think he falls in that 182-183 range, but would seem an honest 6ft if not for just a few millimeters.

There are times when he’s looked at max the listed height near Bradley Cooper and Christopher Nolan, and pushing into the zone of at least 4 inches under Liam Neeson. However, he could certainly pass for six foot even in earlier roles like opposite William Fitchner and Gerard Butler.

They may look the same in the film in some instances but Bale is still noticeably taller than Damon, usually looks around 1.25-1.5 taller, in several stills together.
Bale doesn't seem particularly height or fashion conscious and will show up to premieres in low sneakers and slouch a lot, beyond whatever potential injuries he's done to his vertebrate. He's a guy who might've actually lost some height while still in his 40s.

If you Google: "Christian Bale Hugh Jackman" you will see that he is about an inch and a half shorter in height. I'd go with 6' tall at peak height. He has average legs but a big torso and fairly large head.

I figured Bale to be a solid 5'11" man. Probably my size throughout the day and a little under at night. Strong 180m and weak 182m. I probably outweigh him by 20 lbs.
Maybe hits 6ft in shoes, cause I know I don't. I'm only average. Lol

No, with good posture Bale looked 182cm with Matt Damon. People nitpick pictures, where they look close, but you can also find pictures where the difference is highly noticeable, even greater than two inches. All in all it's about a two-inch difference and that puts Bale at a weak six foot.

I think his peak was 5'11 5/8 and he is probably down to 5'11 1/4 today due to his extensive weight loss fluctuations throughout his career, he looked a little over 5'11 with Matt damon recently

Editor RobThe more I see of him the less a big six footer I thought he was, though maybe there is something to the idea through his dramatic roles (in terms of weight loss/gain) and his back issues with some films, he lost a 1/4 inch, a bit like how Ed Norton could have lost some height too.

He's constantly looked comfortably taller than other cast members who are around 5'11 so I see little reason to put him too far below 6'. I wouldn't rule out that he lost a little fom his Bateman days but it can't be much. He also doesn't strike me as someone who's too concerned about height. For the Hollywood average he's certainly in the taller bracket.

I saw Christian in a charming 1994 version of Little Women this afternoon, with a star-studded cast, including Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dundst and Samantha Mathis both as the youngest March daughter, Amy, Susan Sarandon as the girls' Mum, Eric Stoltz, 5ft11 and the second tallest and Gabriel Byrne. Christian was the tallest member of the cast, and Winona looked tiny next to him. Unfortunately, I didn't see it all, but I have a copy upstairs to watch.
It made a refreshing change to see Christian singing and dancing. What a contrast to his part in American Psycho! This guy is SUCH a great and adaptable actor, and I can certainly understand what my boyfriend was on about a few years back, when he was raving about him, resulting in my task of going from shop to shop with a list of Christian Bale films, and ticking them off when I'd bought them. Yes, it's before I had the internet and was a thoroughly satisfying way of passing the time!
Then I gave them to him for his Birthday!

I wonder if Bale has lost some height today at age 46... However, his peak height is something that also puzzles me. Sometimes he could go full six feet but at other times I think a fraction under this mark might suit him. For example, in 2011, he made Matthew McConaughey look like an easy 5'11": Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In addition, in 2000, Bale met Toni Collette, John Singleton and Samuel L. Jackson: Click Here
Bale was then 26 years old and Samuel 51 so they both were at their peak height. Samuel may have had a bit thicker shoes but Bale's hair also makes him look taller. In addition, the height difference between them looks much bigger in other photos: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
I think this is another proof that 6'2.25" is simply better for Samuel's peak height. Rob, what would you say now?

Just seen, "Ford v. Ferrari", great film, 2019s best IMHO! But a very confusing movie, when comparing heights. You had 5'11" Jon Bernthal at times being edged out by Matt Damon, You had 6' Josh Lucas looking a good 2" taller than Christian bale. THEN, in the next scene you'd have Lucas and Matt Damon looking about dead even. One thing for sure, however... Rob, you have bale listed at 5'11.75", a whole 2" taller than 5'9.75" Damon, who, as I've stated prior, did not even think was THAT tall. Damon and Bale,consistently throughout this film, looked about dead even. Granted, bales posture was lousy, and Damon may have been wearing lifts.

I've just taken a look at the Batman comparison page available to us, and Christian's 2.5" difference next to Ben Affleck looks far greater than I'd have realized before I started frequenting CH. Let's face it, Christian is a BIG guy in his own right.
I agree with the appropriately-named 'TheBat' that Mr Bale is a weak 6ft, so he gets 5ft11.75. Fresh out of bed, I bet he's over 6ft!

His posture is generally quite bad these days. He's 45, so I don't think he's lost much, but he can look a lot more like a 5'11 guy these days. He often looks no more than an 1-1.5 inches taller than Damon (so 5'11 range), but he still looks a good 2 inches taller than Chalamet. Bale is a weird case.

He is around 181 range than solid 180. Yes, He did claim he is 6 footer but that's probably his morning height like he goes with morning height (unlike you and I who go with evening height as true height) instead of evening height aka lowest height as human beings do loose height throughout the day due to the gravity makes the spinal column compress during the day like I learned from my anatomy class long long ago... yeah. 6footer is his morning height and 5ft 11 quarter range is more likely his evening height I can guess.
Plus, He is definitely taller Jack Kelly from Disney's Newsies way back in 1990s than latest Jack Kelly played by Jeremy Jordan....

I know what you mean. Bale doesn't have long arms and his legs are of a normal length. Although approximately the same height as Charlie Hunnam, there is a big difference in how tall they typically appear on screen. This shows how varying body types can impinge on one's perception of height.

I got the same range as well, if you stand well you would look a good 6 footer ; also if you wanna look a proper 6 footer just put on Nike air Forces or 4 cm boots and you would look a weak 6’1”

Never in his life was he taller than 5'11.5". It's a fact, sorry!
Just nobody wants to be 5'11.5" ... It's boring. Everyone wants 6 feet! This is also a fact!
I could not find a single photo where Bale looks 183-183.5 cm ... I'm just tired of searching :)
He's about the same height as Benedict Cumberbatch.
P.S. Only when Christian Bale is in the shoes, I think of him as a legitimate strong six foot guy. These are the facts, sorry!

Christian Bale is most likely 5'11.5 during most of the day,same as me,as given he looks really short or around same as 5'11 actors very often in evening premieres, he goes down to 5'11.25 by end of the day or when a physically demanding day like filming Batman etc. And losing 2 centimeters of height for men of average height and above is standard,with men well over 6'1 losing often even 3cm during the whole day,from getting up to going to bed. 2cm is the standard. I get measured at 183.4-183.5cm straight out of bed, but go down to 181.3-181.4 after a grueling long day. If the day is physically easier, then closer to 182cm. I can easily detect a full 6footer or a 5'11 or 5'10 flat guy much more easily than those who aren't within 1 or 1.5 inches of those heights, especially easy when the men are of a very similar build as me,like Bale or Chris Evans or Dicaprio(when he is in shape) or Chadwick Boseman,Sebastian Stan, Jake Gyllenhaal etc

I agree with Taxi Driver 101! Christian does look a strong and powerful 6ft specimen in 'American Psycho', though a mere quarter inch is hardly going to impair that image! He probably hits 5ft11.75 at night, though first thing in the morning when he bounces out of bed, I reckon he could even be an eighth of an inch over 6ft, or even a quarter.
Right, I've convinced myself! I've talked my way out of what remained of a soggy and irksome paper bag, and decided that Mr Bale is getting 6ft again from me. So there! 💥💪😛

It's so ridiculous to see how many people speak of "peak height", when 1) people don't lose any height at this age, 2) losing and gaining weight regularly has no impact on height loss. It's rather regular here on this website to speak of "peak height", while the clear evidence suggests such a scenario occurs mostly with physically active (as in working for numerous years, not working out at the gym!) people and does not include people below the age of ~60-70 years old.

He used to be a solid 6'0 before 2014 (American Hustle) since then he has gained a lot, lost and gained which clearly had an impact. I think he would be a flat 5'11 at best today. Or maybe 5'10.75. He is going the Robert De Niro way. He'll probably be 5'9.5 at 90. He is the greatest actor in mainstream cinema at the moment. Highly profession and respected. Hats off to Christian Bale for completing 31 years in the industry. Cant believe he'll be half a century old in another 5 years.

@David, IMO, it'd be fair to give him 6ft peak and 5'11.75 now. He was a legit 6foot guy in American Psycho and Batman Begins.
He did lose some height already and it's no wonder given his brutal transformations from 120 lbs in Machinist, 200 lbs of solid muscle in TDKR to 220 lbs of fat in American Hustler - that's quite a shock for your ankles and spine if he had done only that, but he's constantly going back and forth with losing drasting amount of weight and gaining massive amounts of weight for his roles. There's no denying that he lost some height after almost 15+years of torturing his body.

I think he is a genuine 6 footer, he has managed to edge out a lot of celebs on this website who are listed 5ft 11.5-.75 and is barely shorter than 184cm listed celebs such as Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper.
If he does measure shorter than 6ft, it's probably a miniscule amount, like not even a quarter inch

Spot on for Bale I think. Might touch 182.5-183 on good days. @Slim, are you me? I wake up at 185.3cm to be exact after 8 hours of sleep. I end up at somewhere between 183.5 and 183cm. I'd say 7 hours into a day is the absolute best time to take a measurement of yourself. I claim the height at 7 hours after waking up. At 7 hours I'm at 183.6/183.8 so I just claim 184cm. So should you @Slim. Or, take the average of morning, 7hours and night. Or split it into even more parts if you want. Every two hours.

B: 180
C: 181
D: 182
E: 183
F: 184
Editor Rob the lowest I'd guess is D, the highest E, I think when standing tall he generally looks closer to 6ft than 5ft 11...but sometimes with loose posture I can see how people have guessed him 5ft 11-11.5!

He doesn't look under 6'0" here.

I agree, 6' was a better listing, it was a really unnecessary downgrade.
But bale may have lost a fraction from injuries on set and constant weight change for film roles....

Actors who are wizards at transforming their bodies from scrawny, to overweight, to muscular, to skinny fat for roles:
-Christian Bale
-Matthew Mcconaughey
-Tom Hardy
-Jonah Hill
It's actually astonishing as to how they are all able to do it, and still look healthy.

6' was the better listing, matched gosling height wise.

Bale may have dropped from a stronger 182 as listed to a weaker one. His posture may not always be the best, though. Bale is a bit out there, though as far as weight loss. Nobody told him to go to the extremes he did. Others look thin for roles, but nobody looked that sickly. If you look at when Ukrainians and peasants were forcibly starved to death in 1932-1933, Christian only looked a bit better than that. I did like the film, though.

I forgot to add his diet had tuna in it aswell for machinist, the guy destroyed his body for one of his most lowest grossing films, for no absolute reason, he was only supposed to weigh 65-68 kg, but an error was printed and he starved until he reach much lower weight, McConaughey in Dallas was very gaunt looking, but not as much as chris in machinist.
Btw I think William Fichtner should get 5'11.5 and bale should get 6': Click Here
Not sure of footwear though. There's no way those two guys are the same height, what do you think rob? Who's gonna get downgraded or upgraded?

I think McConaughey proved with Dallas Buyers Club that you can shed weight like that using much healthier methods where you don't have starve yourself and destroy your immune system to reach the desired goal.

John, I agree so much, it was an unnecessary downgrade. Except 6' flat is spot on imo.

Tho he looks shorter than 6ft 0.25 (183.5cm) Ryan Gosling. That is Odd!
Click Here even if Bale stood straight Ryan will look taller than him

Bradley Cooper might need a downgrade.

Hi Sandy and The Man
your name sounds like Sandy Cohen from The O.C, cool name btw
I think the same way you guys think and I think you could be right about him being a bit taller than this listing cause check this out
Click Here (with 6ft 0.5in (184.2cm) Bradley Cooper)
Click Here (if Bale was straight they would've stood the same IMO)
Bale is between 183 or a legit 184 but I have no clue, we might need to add @Big Rob to the convo, what do you guys think?
I'm giving him 6ft 0.25in

@ The Man - I couldn't agree more! That's what I reckoned all along!
You might be interested to know that Mr Bale was written up as 6ft when I started visiting the site, last Autumn! When I saw he was 'only' 6ft, I felt surprised that he wasn't an inch or so taller - cross my heart!
I think he should go back up to 6ft.
I shall today give the man* 6ft1, a) to push his average up and b) because that is genuinely what I used to think!
* That was a coincidence!

This guy isn't naturally a beanpole, he actually starved for "the machinist", his daily diet was of apples coffees and cigarettes, His muscles in his legs were so weak, he couldn't even run. In my humble opinion, his skinny body in "the fighter" was better, both great movies btw.
I still believe his 6' listing was fine and the downgrade was unnecessary, all because There were 4 inches between bale and Wahlberg in "the fighter" making Wahlberg 5'7.75 or bale 6'.

I'm basically somewhere in the 160 ibs range and not nearly 170 ibs.
At 145 lbs at 6'0", you would be a beanpole. Bale knew that too well and decided it wasn't healthy for him.

No, 145lbs at 6ft is not in the least bit healthy. 160-165lbs is the lowest you should be at that height to function properly. The BMI is such a rubbish measure that a lot of pro-athletes are labelled overweight. Totally leaves out things like bone structure, body fat etc.

Technically 145 pounds for 5'11.75 is not underweight just the lower end of the healthy range for his height

I do think a peak for 6'0" is fine for Bale. He looked it in the Dark Knight Trilogy.

Agree, even tom hardy had to wear elevators to match bale on TDKR, Google it if you want. Also Bale was almost towering Gary Oldman with his impressive height.
