If you need a lift, watch Christopher Walken in the Fat Boy Slim video ‘Weaspon of Choice’. His dancing is brilliant AND HE CAN FLY!

One thing that mystifies me about Christopher’s gold watch story from Pulp Fiction is wouldn’t the watch have fallen out when he and his grandfather went to the toilet?

What happened to Christopher’s Nick in The Deer Hunter was so cruel and unnecessary. Why do such horrors as Russian Roulette even get ‘played’?
The boys are so happy and optimistic at the start of the film….
Surely a movie which reflects the true atrocities of war.

There’s nothing quite like kicking the day off than with Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice, with Christopher Walken doing the choreography.
Three days to go until Christopher turns 80. He gets his guesses then!

Come to think of it, Christopher Walken looked over 6ft in 'The Prophecy' film franchise. I'm quite adamant about the first two movies from 1995 and 1998. When I saw him with Brittany Murphy, (Part 2) who stood 5ft2.5-5ft3, and she sat on his knee, I realized just how tall Chris really was! (I hadn't been to Celebheights back then and didn't know his height).
The third one, from 2005, I have only seen the once, so I can't report back with any certainty, but in the first two, I'd say he was a strong 6ft and half-an-inch.

Chris looked over six foot in 'The Sentinel', a mid-Seventies film in which the actor was in his early thirties.
I'm agreeing with the average of 6ft and half-an-inch and this massively likeable actor will have an inch deducted for today's height. Anyone who can dance with such agility as Christopher did to Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice' at the age of 58 can't have lost much height some 20 years on - unless he'd had a horrible accident, and that would be news to me if he had. 😍

I would have pegged Walken at 6'1" but admittedly he was just 6'. He certainly had a good three inches on DeNiro in The Deer Hunter, maybe it was his hair & slim build giving you the impression he was taller.

I've counted a definite 14 films of Christopher's in my collection but the correct figure is likely to be much higher.
⭐ I found a funny squirt of information when I went through Chris's films. He starred in a version of 'Puss In Boots', from 1988, and his character is called, simply, 'Puss'! 😸
Well, it figures!
⭐ How about this as an amusing little film title? 'The Affair of the Necklace' is another on his film credits!

When I eventually woke up this evening, I was absolutely beaming to see that the brilliant Stephen King film 'The Dead Zone' was on. I'd missed the first half-hour, but I know the film pretty well, having first seen it at the cinema - twice, and numerous times since.
From a height perspective, I'd never really digested how tall Christopher is and tonight it occured to me why. The guy has such a beautiful, warm smile and big, expressive blue eyes that I'd have been too distracted to even bother looking! It wasn't to I saw him in comparison to Brittany Murphy in 'Prophecy II' that I took in his tall height.
He is such a fantastic actor and one day, I'll have a count up of how many of his films I own. I don't know off hand, but if Christopher Walken is in something, I know it's worth buying, and buy it I do! 🤗

Even in a film made as late as 2012, when Christopher was 69, he still looks six foot tall. In a line-up which includes the three other main stars (Colin Farrell, written up as 5ft10, Woody Harrelson, 5ft9.5 and Sam Rockwell, 5ft8), Chris looks BY FAR the tallest. He stands bang in the middle, with perhaps two others either side of him, and he simply HAS to be 6ft+.
I'm in agreement with FrankR1's comment from the 23rd September last, that this actor was in excess of 6ft in his youth. We can see how fit he was well into his fifties by watching him dance in Fatboy Slim's video for 'Weapon of Choice'. I'm sure this shows that his impressive level of fitness has helped prevent him from suffering 'normal' shrinkage rates.
5ft11.75 now and 6ft1 peak. 😁👏

I’d put Walken’s peak height at 6’0.5”. Walken and Roger Moore were indeed similar in height in A View To a Kill. Walken even looked similar in height to Sean Connery at the time of The Anderson Tapes.

Had anybody listened to Fatboy Slim's song "Weapon of Choice", with Christopher Walken dancing? It's absolutely hilarious, and shows how fit the actor was still in his fifties. He'd had no dancing lessons and volunteered to take part in the video my boyfriend tells me.
Consequently, I think the fact of how lithe he was then will have delayed his shrinkage rate.

Peak would be in his debut in the Anderson Tapes, where Walken seems to be 6'2'' next to Connery. Christopher was a strapping young man, and I think he has lost an awful lot since 1971.

At peak, Walken and Denzel Washington would be pretty close to even, maybe Denzel could take it barely with ramrod straight posture. I thought back in The King of New York, Walken may have had a margin of edge on Laurence Fishburne.

@Rob whether or not Christopher was six feet or a fraction over it at his peak is not the main issue here. There's no way that he's still 5'11.5 Rob, you said yourself recently and I quote "Today he can barely look 5ft 11, he might be at 5ft 10.5 range." Rob will you give Walken 5'11 for his current height I think that it's safe to say that he's not over that mark at this point.

Rob, 50 votes now have Walken's peak height placed comfortably above the six-foot mark. Will you give him the quarter inch upgrade for his peak height now? I personally think that after turning seventy-six this year 6'0.25 peak and 5'10.75 for his current listing would suit him just fine.

Rob, you said that Tarantino has a chance at 6'1.25" and in these pictures Walken and Pollak have a small footwear advantage over him, Tarantino next to Kevin Pollak really looks like 186 cm, but Walken with a slight advantage of shoes looked taller than Tarantino so the difference between them could not be big, here's one of their joint photo from 2004:

Here are the pictures of Walken next to Susan Sarandon from 2004:

Rob, Susan was 58 years old in 2004, in one of the comments you said that she could lose a fraction in 55-60, but Walken then looked over 6 inches taller from her.
Walken in 1995 in the movie "Nick of Time" looked easily over 3 inches taller than Johnny Depp:

Walken in this photo from 1997 really looks taller than David Duchovny:

From what I saw, Walken really lost nothing to the age of 60, he looked a little shortet when he was 65-70 years old. I think the peak height 6'0.25" looks right for Walken. Rob, can you give him a quarter inch upgrade now?

Editor RobI am not sure whether I'd give him a 1/4. I haven't ruled it out of course, either 6ft or 6ft 1/4 seems believable to me.

Rob, I think a quarter-inch over 6 feet looks more reasonable for Walken. Here is a photo of Walken next to David Duchovny from 1997, Walken looks taller than Duchovny:
Click Here
Perhaps the downgrade of the 1/8 of an inch you gave recently Duchovny was good, but Walken looked taller than him. Here is a picture of Walken next to Norman Cook from 2001, Walken looks taller than Cook:
Click Here
I think that when Walken was over 50 years old, he could sometimes hold a little worse posture, but it seems to me that he probably did not lose anything to 60 years old, until he was 65-70, he could have lost some height. I think if we measured Walken when he was 15-25 years younger he would still stretch a little over 6 feet. Rob, I think 6'0.25" would be better for him.

Oh yes, and he can have 6ft0.5 for his peak!

Rob, that peak height Walken was 6'0.25" can really be argued. Maybe he was not someone like Chris Pine who does not care about half an inch or even 3/4 inch, but he could not care about a fraction of over 6 feet. I think peak height Walken beat the peak height Tom Hanks and peak height John Malkovich, I saw many Walken movies and many photos, I think he stayed well until the mid-60s, and he only started to lose height 10 years ago. Walken really did not look much shorter alongside people like Sean Connery, Rupert Everett, Dwayne Johnson, and in the pictures with Jon Voight in 2002, he still looked strong six feet , Christopher Walken looked very much like Roger Moore, and very much like Bradley Cooper. In 2002 year he still looked taller than Leonardo DiCaprio, and Sean Penn in the 80's looked very short of him. Rob, please look at these photos: Click Here

Editor RobA little over 6ft peak is always an arguable figure for Walken, like Nick Nolte. Today he can sometimes look at most 5ft 11.
Sandy Cowell said on 17/Mar/18
I really do believe Christopher Walken's peak was 6ft, and that he is still tall and fit now. He appeared in a dance video not that long ago and was crazily good!
But there's something truly amazing and magical about this actor, the sort of something, that 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm' I wrote about on Al Pacino's page over a year ago! It's the something you can't quite put your finger on, but the more you see him, the more of it simply oozes out of his very being, out of every single delightful pore!
Today, on this snowy, Winter's evening in March, Chris gets 6ft0.5 peak, and 5ft11.5 for his today's height.

Rob, I agree with Adijos 6’0.25 peak seems to in order. In 1992 film Batman Returns he toward 5’9” Michael Keaton and he didn’t look too much shorter than 6’5” Andrew Bryniarski.
He made an appearance at 90th Academy Awards and looked his lost some height.

Rob, I think you should give Walken a 6'0.25" peak. In "A View to a Kil", I can not see even one inch difference between him and Roger Moore! and so I deserve a quarter more! In "The Comfort of Strangers" I do not see the full four inches difference between him and Rupert Everett, which is another good argument! In "Wedding Crashers" looks very similar to Bradley Cooper, another argument. You once admitted that a little over 6 feet is not impossible for him, and that his peak might have been higher than Tom Hanks' peak. Once again please Rob, here you would give Walken the peak 6'0.25".

Editor Rob where is MJKOP, I remember seeing a video he once did of short impressions and I think he could pull off a Walken impression or even do a 'height impression video' of all their claims or something.
But yeah, I think Walken has obviously lost height from the 70's and 80's. He can seem 5ft 10.5-11 range at times.

At peak, I don't see an inch, even half an inch, between Walken and Roger Moore.

A bit taller than Laurence Fishburne.

Also here with Kris Kristofferson and Jeff Bridges (dropping a bit in the foreground).

I could see more 6'0.5" at peak for Walken.

Rob can you add a photo and add A View to a Kill, Pulp Fiction, The Funeral, King of New York. Catch Me If You Can, The Dead Zone, Wedding Crashers and Seven Psychopaths?
Looks roughly 2 inches shorter than Benicio Del Torro in The Funeral.

Walken towered over Batman Michael Keaton in Batman Returns. Keaton is known to be 5-9 peak. My guess he was 6-1 or maybe 6 feet even.

I think I read some where that Chris walken suffers from some spinal disease or something that's why his posture is terrible. Do correct me though as I'm not certain.
One does not simply Walken to Morodor.

Looked an inch shorter than Roger Moore in A View To A Kill. Moore at that time certainly wasn't over 6'0.75'', so 5'11.75'' seems natural for Walken. 6' flat when waking up at peak, but never over it. Well, 6'1'' with the hair.

Just watched him opposite Sean Connery in 1971's THE ANDERSON TAPES. He is tall now as an older man, and he was tall as a young man. He was 28 when he did TAPES, and standing next to strong 6'2" Connery, Walken looked to be a inch & change shorter. I can buy 6'1" for him as a young man. Today, he still looks close to the mark--maybe more six flat than 6'1", but he's still fairly tall.
Likewise, in 1997's EXCESS BAGGAGE and in 1996's THE FUNERAL next to legit 6'2" co-star Benicio Del Toro, Walken looked 1" - 1 1/2" shorter than Del Toro. Love to watch Walken--he makes good films great, and he makes otherwise dull affairs enjoyable experiences.

Rob you need to change his peak height to 184. There is just too much evidence he was between 6 and 6'1 at peak. He looks almost 4 inches taller than De Niro in Deer Hunter. He has lost about 3/4 of an inch of height.

The most he could have been was possibly 6ft.25 (184cm) in his 20's maybe on a good day? But I still think 183cm is closer for his peak.
In View to a kill was only in his early 40's and was clearly 1.5 under Roger Moore so unless he sustained some bad inury he was 185 or even 184cm at his peak and he looked more than just 2cm under Moore.
the guy is 67 so i doubt he would have lost 2 inches from his peak. more like 2-3cm.

Rob any chance of giving him a downgrade to 5'11 or 5'11.5? The more I look at this pic if you compare the levels between thier hairlines he looks quite a bit under 6ft considering he was wearing dress shoes and had footware advantage over glenn.
If you photoshoped this pic and removed Christophers hair I think there would look 3.5 inches between them. If Christopher was wearing the same type of footware as glenn there would probably look barely 3 inches between them. I don't even think glenn is standing at his absolute straightest in this pic either compared to Walken who is standing very straight. But at the of the day its only a picture.

Yeah glenn did he have footware advantage was the ground even? With his hairsyle in this pic he would only reach like 181-182cm. I think his peak height was probably 183cm though. You could argue though glenn that your slightly closer to the camera.

Yeah risingforce, but that movie came out quite a few years back. In my view he's 5'11.5" now. But he probablly peaked 6'1" maybe 6'1.5"

Lived in my old neighborhood, Astoria Queens. Mom owned a bakery and brother had a photo store. Chris was a solid 6' in his youth.

He may have been 6'1" risingforce, but he looks more 5'11"/5'11.5" now. He's old, and when you get old, sometimes you shrink a couple of inches. But he was tall once. I also think his hair makes him look taller than he actually is

6ft flat nowadays and possibly close to the 6ft1 mark out of bed. In his prime he may very well have stood 6ft1.

Lenad, you are correct. In the film he was rake thin and looked tall. Over six feet, yes. I`d say it is possible that Walken could have been around 6-1 peak.

I'd say he's 6ft if he straightens up next to Glenn. Closer to 6ft1 in his prime. He could look 6ft2 at times!

u guys always get these wrong. yes, christopher walken is 6'0, but because of his posture, he looks around 5'10, but u guys put meat loaf height as 5'10 when he's slouching, when he straightens up, he's 6'0.

I think Walken is about 5'10.
I stepped in to the elevator at the Chateau Marmont a few years ago.
As is my nature, if I get in an elevator and its just me and another other person in there, I say hello.
That's what I did when I stepped in to the small elevator at the CM.
Anyway, as I walk in and say hello and turn and hit the first floor button (which was already lit.,) I simultaneously get this waft of bodacious body odor and realize that the guy in the elevator is Walken (who was looking really, really bad physically).
He says nothing and hits the lit first floor button and I don't say a thing because I figure the guy is an asshat if he can't give some body a fricking hello and I just ignore him.
The elevator goes down a floor and a hotel employee gets in the elevator. He says hello, I say hello back, and he hits the lit 1st floor button and Walken says nothing, living what might have been a Leaving Las Vegas moment because he hits the 1st floor button that he originally lit and has hit three times that I whitnessed.
Presumably, he must of thought repeatedly hitting it would get him out of such a close proximity of us little people.
He stuck me as a very small 5'10" man.
True story.

BN

Hugh, I agree with you. Hugh seems to be pretty much dead on with his estimates. I pretty much agree most of them. Viper is on the other side who probably thinks that Walken is in the 5-9 -range because some basketball player looked taller.
Walken looks pretty tall in all of his movies. In Batman Returns he is clearly taller than Keaton and in the Deer Hunter towered over De Niro. Deer Hunter is by the way (along with Godfather and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest) one of the most over-rated films of all time! In my opinion, of course.
