Correct me if I'm wrong but save for the argument that he wasn't perhaps exactly 6'4" I don't think Eastwood's height was brought into question back in the day. Certainly, it seemed everyone accepted that Clint was in the 6'3" to 6'4" range - a very tall guy of proportionally limbs. No pointing to "lifts" or excessive heels etc because there simply wasn't and still isn't any real indication that Eastwood "cheated" or enhanced his height in any way. Check Eastwood's height at his peak relative to other celebrities, check and compare his foot wear - there is nothing suspiciously advantageous and it all adds up well for Eastwood.
I think Clint Peak height has ONLY NOW been questioned in more recent times due to the apparent height loss that has followed over the years. That has lead to retroactive address and judgment of Eastwood's previously unquestioned peak height. If you can't accept the height loss being due to natural aging/deterioration then you will default to the belief that peak Eastwood imply could not have been as tall as he appeared and as he was advertised - just because you can't believe a man could lose that much height.
The purported average height loss over a life time (1-3 inches) is just that, an average and there are still less common but completely possible extremes either side of that. And, after all, a person who hits a genuine 6'4" at peak has already well transcended the boundaries of the so called average in today's world, let alone Eastwood's adult world some 60 odd years ago (PS - just looked it up and the average male height in 1960 was just over 5'8").
I will admit that Eastwood's marked height loss has made me a bit skeptical but I have remained open minded. Important to note is that the height loss was not sudden but has been gradual (see Jervis' Rob Reiner example - and there are many other similar examples). The man is 87 yo and somehow I think that is not properly accounted for. Certainly, I don't think many of us view Clint Eastwood as we might our own grandfather of similar age. In all respects (including height) we hold them up to a different, less than realistic light.
In a previous post I put a genuine call out for a male celebrity/high profile person who has suffered similar height loss and one who we can reasonably say has lost that height through natural aging/deterioration.
By chance I saw a recent pic of Prince Phillip with Barack and Michelles Obama. Respectfully, I would say 94 yo Phillip now appears to be tiny without too much of pronounced slouch or the like - though there are some tell tale kinks in the posture. Like Clint, Phillip appears to have a truncated torso - at least from the front view and the side view might reveal more obvious spinal curvature. From the Obama pics I might guess Phillip to be barely 5'7" if that. Now this was a man who was listed as 6ft in his prime and that height can be well corroborated against the multitude of high profile people Phillip has met with over many years - including 6ft John F Kennedy (who Phillip appeared to edge) and 6 ft Gerald Ford (who Phillip appeared to equal) to name just two. IMO, this is a genuine height loss of at least 4" and perhaps up to 5".
Point being, I wouldn't deny Clint his peak height SIMPLY because one does not think a height loss of 4 " is possible. I think Prince Phillip is a sterling example that such a height loss (and them some) is very much possible.

Google Clint Eastwood and Rob Reiner,there you will see Clint standing next to Reiner from a few years ago,in it Reiner is taller,but there is another pic of Reiner and Clint,Neil Jordan is also in it,I dont know when it was taken,it looks like early 90s,but in this one Clint is the taller of the two.lf Reiner was between 6ft1 and 2 that would make Clint 6ft3 in that photo and around 6ft.5 in the later pic.So in the 20 or so years between the two pics Clint lost about 2.5 inches.

As I've stated on others' pages, I stood face to face with James Coburn in 1983. I was 17, and 5'11.75. He edged me out, but no way by 2 inches. He was an inch, maybe an inch and a half taller than me, at the very most(I lean towards the inch, as he "just" edged me out). Eastwood was taller, but I still say more like 6'3 ish.

If you look at Clints posture he never had a hunch,what he did have and still does,and is what I think has led to his height loss is called SWAY,if you look at examples of this on line you will notice this type of posture in Clint in photos and during his long career.This type of posture will make you appear shorter,make you drop a couple of inches so as not too look to tall in the company of shorter people.In Clints youth like a lot of taller people ,he was IMO self conscious of his height and tried to hide it by slouching,and developed a habit of standing this way.His hight claim of 6ft4 could have been a morning measurement.Looking at him in his early movies and Rawhide compered to his costars listed heights ,he looks in the 6ft3 too 6ft4 range.With Coburn he looks a good 2 inches taller,so if Coburn was 6ft1.5 that would make Clint 6ft3.5 peak.

Checked out the clip and have to agree Eastwood has a couple of inches on Coburn. Clint must have been close to 6'4'' as Coburn was tall.

I can't see any pronounced hunch for Eastwood - and more particularly not one that lends itself to a loss of up to 4 " in height. However, I do see perhaps a shortening of the torso over years. I wonder if it is possible to have the spine shorten without necessarily having a pronounced curvature.
Could anyone point me to online sources detailing Eastwood having issues with Osteoporosis, Scoliosis or the like? I haven't been able to find any.
Also, what other celebrities can we faithfully point to who have similar depreciation in height as Clint? Women's height generally depreciate more than that of men so best to go apples to apples and cite male examples.
I saw Ali lose height over the years but, IMO, Ali's posture wasn't perfect and there was a clear and progressive bowing of Muhammad's neck/head which justified the height loss. At peak, I think Ali was a true 6' 2 1/2" with the oft reported 6'3" being a mere round-up. The orig. tale of the tape for the Liston fight with Ali at age 22 indicated 6' 2 1/2" for Ali but this was later modified to 6'3" with all other attributes remaining the same.
Prior to fighting 6'6" Terrell, Ali's trainer Angelo Dundee talked Ali's height up to 6'4" and Angelo also stated that his "man" (Ali) was "still growing" to dilute the upcoming opponent's height advantage. By the time of the Terrell Ali was already 25 Yo so further growth was unlikely. It didn't matter. Ali fought "tall" and constantly bounced on his feet which exaggerated his height and so Terrell didn't appear to have the 3 1/2" pull that he actually held.
So, I think at the end of the day Ali lost a combined 1/2" by way of overstated height and about 2" by way of bowing of his neck/head.
This all wheels me back to the David Frost show. You can clearly see Eastwood's footwear both when sitting in his seat and when standing and the shoes appear standard with a standard heel. Clint does appear to have about 1/2" on Ali so I think 6'3" is reasonable "no lower than mark" if not right on the money when measured relative to Ali's 6' 2 1/2". There is another guest on the show - Harve Presnell - a Howard Keel style of man and performer. He is clearly taller than Clint and Ali by maybe 1 ". Harve himself kinda throws the cat among the pigeons so to speak because he has been listed at both 6'4" and 6'5". On the Frost show, Clint, Harve and Ali are reasonably close together when they leave their chairs, step down and stand on even ground to have their go on the speed bag - so it's a fair moment to make some reasonable estimates.
With a gun to my head I might put Presnell somewhere between 6'4" and 6'5" but not the full 6'5". Clint and Ali are certainly not dwarfed by him. Just based on the vision of the Frost show, with Ali locked in at 6'2 1/2", I would be perfectly comfortable to give Clint 6'3".

The rawhide episode with James Couburn in it is called Hostage child.lf you pause at 24.13 min you will see that Clint looks about 2 inches taller than Couburn. If Clint was as low as 6ft2 peak that would make Couburn 6ft flat max.Clint was a strong 6ft3 peak or maybe 6ft3.5 in his youth compered to Couburn.

Haven't seen many of his films but watched Dirty Harry ealrier. I thought he looked somewhere in the 6'3-6'3.5 range. I'm not seeing a 6'4/weak 6'4 prime.
I'm glad your eyes can tell the difference between 6'3.5" and 6'4" of a guy in a movie. There is NO WAY you can tell .5" onscreen, even when you're comparing him to people of known height.

Most days of the week I see older men hunched right over in like a lower case "r" shape...and you can't possibly tell me those men haven't lost a hell of a lot if height. There's no law saying you can't lose X amount if height, I can believe people Losing 10 inches or more even in worst cases.

The early 90s was not Clints peak,he was in his early 60s by then and was about 6ft2.5 by that stage when you judge his height compared to others at that time.IMO Clint was a strong 6ft3 peak,6ft1.5 or 6ft2 does not add up if you compare him to other stars at his peak.By the way I have never heard of that rumour before about him being 6ft1.5 peak,if he was he must have had lifts in his shoes.But then again its Hollywood so anything is possible.
Even the early 80's wasn't his peak anymore. He was at his tallest until the late 1970's and then his spine began to curve. The last time he appeared to be at his peak was in 1979's Escape From Alcatraz. I haven't seen the 4 movies he made between that one and 1983's Sudden Impact, so I don't know when the height loss first began, but by Sudden Impact he no longer looked as tall as he did in Escape From Alcatraz. So, until around 48 years old (the age he was when he filmed Escape From Alcatraz, he still looked to be his peak height, or if anything, his height loss by then was so minimal that it wasn't noticeable. By the early 80's when he was starting his 50's the height lost became more and more noticeable. The last time he looked TALL was in the early 1990's imo (early 60's).

I mean I doubt even I could reach 90 years old and still clear 5ft 7 for instance...internally our bodies wear down, the bone mass decreases.

Haven't seen many of his films but watched Dirty Harry ealrier. I thought he looked somewhere in the 6'3-6'3.5 range. I'm not seeing a 6'4/weak 6'4 prime.

The early 90s was not Clints peak,he was in his early 60s by then and was about 6ft2.5 by that stage when you judge his height compared to others at that time.IMO Clint was a strong 6ft3 peak,6ft1.5 or 6ft2 does not add up if you compare him to other stars at his peak.By the way I have never heard of that rumour before about him being 6ft1.5 peak,if he was he must have had lifts in his shoes.But then again its Hollywood so anything is possible.

There's a lot of rumours /speculation that Clint was 6'1.5"ins tall in his hey day and at peak. I've had order relatives who were lucky to actually see him walking around when they visited Carmel. One was my Father and he is a solid 6'2" without shoes. Bearing in mind this was in the early 90's. My father and assorted relatives all judged him to be around the same height 6'1 -6'2. You couldn't just go up to him or ask for a selfie like to day. My Father said that he was around 10 feet way from him and did take some photos of him. Obviously from a distance. Apparently the locals and certain residents were very protective of him. You just didn't go up to Clint or bother him.

From 192 to 183. Why he has shrunk so much? I wouldn't expect a reduction of more than 5 cm in height unless the person is seriously hunchback or has developed a distorted back bone.

Now he is 6 weak.

I think 6ft2 peak is too low,if he was 6ft2,George Kennedy a legit 6ft4 guy had about 1 inch max on him,so he could not have been 6ft2 because that would make Kennedy 6ft3.Also he had an easy 2 inches on Lee Marvin who was IMO 6ft1or maybe 6ft0.5 lowest.To me Clint always looked a solid 6ft3 guy always about an inch short of 6ft4 and an inch over 6ft2.He still looked 6 ft2 aged 70 at the time of space cowboys if you compare him to 6ft6.5 James Cromwell.Clint would have been an inch off peak by that stage.As for his current height,with his very loose posture yes he does look sub 6ft now,but I cant help but thinking if he pulled himself up to his full height,he could still be 6ft or maybe,dare I say it a little bit more?

I've looked again at images of Clint and Tim Robbins together. In some of them the height difference is not as noticeable as in the link posted below. Clint was obviously a tall man, the consensus on this site is that he just about scraped 6'4'' or was slightly under. I'd say this is likely correct.

I always doubted the 192 cm peak listing but after seeing a clip of him on a chat show with Muhammad Ali circa 1970 I can believe it. Ali mentions that Eastwood is taller than him, also when they stand up it is obvious Eastwood is the taller man. If Ali was 6'2.5 peak then Eastwood had to be 6'3.5-6'4". I think Eastwood often gets guessed as shorter because he has always had bad posture. Today he could well be under 6 ft, seems a crazy amount to lose though.

Difficult to say Jervis, I'd probably guess Clint as slightly under 6'4''. Gregory Walcott was a bit taller plus I thought Donald Sutherland edged Clint in Kelly's Heroes. It's just when you look at those photos of Tim Robbins and Eastwood the height difference is very significant, not an inch or two but several. Maybe a young Clint wouldn't have been much shorter than Robbins he must have had really significant height loss though. Some claim Robbins is really 6'7'' or so which would perhaps explain things but then others dispute this and go with 6'5''.

The photos of Tim Robbins dwarfing Clint make it hard to believe that they were supposedly similar height in their prime. I agree Clint looks to have lost height in his spine his trousers are nearly touching his chin lol. Even so it's very difficult to see how they could have similar prime heights. Women I understand can lose several inches in height through ageing but men usually lose just one or two at most.

First off... all those who claim Clint is 6ft.. You are all so freaking wrong... really wrong. How do I know this you ask? Simple... I am 6'4"& 5/8", got the medical facts since I do see my doctor once a year.. & I met Gene Simmons(bassist of KISS.. a few years ago in Las Vegas nightclub along with his now wife Shanon who is tall herself at 6ft.) and have met other "stars" as well. Met Clint once also.. about a decade ago & I was looking at him eye to eye... both of wearing tennis shoes.. I don't think he could of lost 4" inches as most claim he has!!! Maybe, maybe a 1 inch or inch & a half.. 3/4 max, but that's just slouching from age. But if all of you who believe he's 6ft.. then tell him that in person & be ready to taste a quick fistful to your smug mug!!! Ya see, only little guys claim to be tall... like Will Smith Who CLAIMA he''s 6'1" Or 6'2" depending On Which Magazine has the interview. Seen him face to face at day show of a film with his wife Jada at Universal Studios years ago... & no way is he even 6' but more like 5'10"... maybe, maybe 5'11"... no way is he over that!!!! See, small guys always claim to be bigger than they are, where as tall guys over 6' rarely, rarely claim that!!!

At least 5-7 inches taller than James Edwards and Lee J Cobb in Coogan's Bluff. Even with heels factored, they were 6' and 5'11" . Likely that he was a full 6'4" in his physical prime.

in Coogan's Bluff there are some straight forward shots (side by side) off Clint Eastwood standing full camera next to Lee J Cobb as well as James Edwards. Both of these actors were above average in height; Lee J Cobb, 5' 11" and James Edwards 6'. He appears a head taller than both. Granted that he was wearing boots and the shoes on the other actors appeared to be standard heels. Without taking into account the possibility that either or both of them could be wearing lifts and deducting the extra couple of inches for added height of boot heels, there is no question that relative to the other actors, Eastwood stood at least 6'4" if their heights are correct.

From 192 to 183 cm? It's impossible to lose so much height.

Not its not. Old people tend to lose more height as they age because of disc compression. And people with multiple spinal fusion surgeries and hip/knee replacements are at a greater risk.

...another "who knows"; I saw, on Getty Images, Eastwood with James Coburn, from 1993. Camera angles and shoe hell thickness aside, my best guess from the image is that Eastwood overshadows Coburn by maybe an inch...inch and a half. I stood face to face with Coburn in '83, and he barely edged me out...if at all. I was 5'11 and 3'4ths at that, age 17. 10 years later he was certainly no taller. Based on these Getty photos...and maybe not on reality, but based on these photos...Eastwood, in 1993, was certainly a couple inches down from 6'4.

You can't guess his peak height based on how he looks now. There's no maximum limit on how much height you can lose in old age. 6'2.5 peak is nonsense. Even 6'3 is what I'd say is improbable.

Looking at the recent photos of Tom Hanks with Obama,and the fact that Clint seems to be a similar height to Hanks,its hard to belive Clint was even 6ft1 peak because Obama looks a good 2 inches taller than Hanks,making Clint max 5ft11 now with a height loss of almost 5 inches.It would mean the young Clint would have been almost 3 inches taller than Obama.Its just too much height to lose IMO.6FT3 max peak for me but 6ft2.5 is not out of the question.As for all the height comparisons with co stars and others of Clint with these people,I would also question the accuracy of their heights too.I believe there was a lot of height inflation going on in Hollywood in Clints youth ,before and after and even today if they can get away with it.

Jervis, Hanks was never over 6ft, not even in his prime. Hanks has been nailed at 5ft11.5 / 182cm peak (1988); he's barely lost anything and looks the same at age 60. Seeing 86yo Clint the same height has Hanks proves Clint has fallen below 6ft in recent years. Clint was 6ft3 peak and 5ft11.25 today, thats my estimate. He's lost nearly 4 inches.

6ft3 flat seems unlikely to me, although not impossible. He could look that range when slouching, but in his twenties and standing tall I can't see him being below 6'3.5, with 6'3.75 likely.

I have seen lots of recent pics of Hanks and Clint together,and they both look very similar in height,sometimes Hanks looks a bit taller than Clint and sometimes Clint looks a bit taller than Hanks.IMO Clint was more 6ft3 peak and is around 6ft flat now,I also think Hanks was about 6ft.05 peak and is around 6ft flat now.I belive Clint has lost about 3 inches off peak,not 4 because he was, IMO never 6ft4 in the first place.I would say his 6ft4 measurement was in the morning with Clint standing with military posture,but in the evening in normal posture he was 6ft3 and sometimes could look 6ft2ish

Peak @ 30: 6ft3
Today @ 86: 5ft11.25 (he's shorter than 5ft11.5 Tom Hanks in his latest film, check out the scenes).
It must suck to lose 4 inches but my grandfather was the same and lost over 3 inches: 6ft0.5 prime, 5ft9 when he died at age 83. had a bad dowagers hump.

Wow. That would really be awful to be 6'4 younger and then through age be less than 6 foot.

In 92 aged 62 Clint had lost about an inch of peak,he was in the same height range as Morgan Freeman then,around 6ft2.05.Letterman was around 6ft1 IMO.I also saw that clip and did'nt notice any height differance between Mcmahon and Clint.
Letterman was at least 6'2" at his peak and claimed 6'2.5" in the morning when he was younger. NO WAY was he a flat 6'1" at his peak.

...according to an article about Eastwood, posted on an Eastwood site, he was cited as 190 during or soon after The Rookie. In another article, when he was in his early 70's, he mentioned being 205. This was in just a brief surf of the net. "If" he was 190 shortly after The Rookie...a movie where he certainly looked muscular, I don't see him as well over 200 at any other time in his tough guy movies. I could be wrong. Film is very deceiving. I have a photo of me from 15 years ago where I was out in the sun, looking ripped, cut and muscular. I was just over 145 (at 6 ft) and, in person, you could have sneezed and I'd have fallen over. But, in that photo, I looked pretty rugged. Photos..and film "can" be deceiving. To stay on topic, I still go with 6'3 ish, n general, in younger days, 6'4 out of bed.

He did slouch a lot but I would still say he was more 6ft3 than 6ft4,he looked it with Jim Davis in rawhide,also his co star in rawhide Eric Fleming is listed as 6ft3 and him and Clint look the same height.

I find the obsession with downgrading the heights of genuinely tall men very odd. Eastwood may have been a guy who was just under 6'4 and called it 6'4 because that is a sensible rounding but he was no way less than 6'3.5 when you see people he was acting against and the comparison. Plus, in spite of one person on here mentioning it, no one has EVER seriously suggested the guy wore lifts and in his early films he's wearing the same boots as everyone else. It is way too many people to downgrade to get him to 6'2 or less as some want to claim. Also the guy slouched in a way that underplayed his height, hardly the actions of a man trying to con people into believing he was taller than he was. He has definitely lost a lot of height over the years but you can see the change in pictures of him. If you compare his body in younger days to today he had a much longer torso in his younger days and that has noticeably changed as he's got older.
As for the weight debate, I could buy 215 easily for a guy in the 6'3-6'4 range looking the size he did, if anything in his bulked up phase I'd be surprised if he wasn't a bit more.

Just seen him in an episode of Rawhide with 6ft2.5 listed Jim Davis,there is a lot of scenes with both actors together,it is hard to tell or see Clint being the taller of the two,both men look the same height.I have seen 6ft3 listings for Davis and Clint my be dropping a fraction of height by slouching,both men look very similar in height.So max peak height for me is 6ft3 inches and no more.

Interesting, Rob, that you would invite your readers to guess the heights of celebrities. That is really being democratic, since you're an expert and we're not. My own method of guessing heights is to look at body shape, with particular attention to the relative size of the subject's head. I figure that a man with body that seems large in proportion to his body is probably short. Another prejudice I rely on is that a man who can move quickly is more likely to be short than tall. Tom Cruise and Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner get put in my short column, because they are so quick. Liam Neeson and Clint Eastwood must be tall, because they seem clumsy and slow.

Editor Rob Ian, visitors have been guessing heights for 12 years, it's just now there is an addition of a tally/average which makes it easier to see what an overall opinion might be.

...just saw him on an old Tonight Show with Carson, dated 1992. Letterman was also on. He was a little shorter than Ed Mcmahon, though slouching. He was definitely taller than Letterman, but was letterman the full 6'2 I've read? He looked 2 inches taller than Letterman. But if Letterman really was 6'2, that would make Eastwood 6'4 in '92. Then that would make Ed M. roughly 6'5 and 1/2, and I've never heard such a height being attributed to him. I have no idea what to make of this Tonight Show appearance.

@Jervis younger not older but yes. If you saw Matthew Kelly in the 90s he looked every bit of 6'5, in fact could look 6'6 at times. I saw him on a quiz show not long ago and the loss is really substantial, he's honest, he looks about 6'2'5 now. So it can happen.

I cannot believe my eyes! He's only 6ft now! I always thought of him as 6ft4! Obviously, I'd expected him to be a bit shorter now but 4 inches is surely above average on the shrinkage front?

I think 6ft4 was a morning mesurement,he more 6ft3 at the end of the day,along with bad posture and slouching he could look as low as 6ft2 at times.He mainly only wore heels in westrens but so did everybody else.

The 2000s were a punishing decade for Clint in terms of height loss. In 2000 he looked still a decent 6ft2 aged 70, by 2010 though he looked 6'0.25-0.5.

He is 86 and was around John Cusacks height about 10 years ago,if you look at pics of them together. In Clints case looking almost as tall as George Kennedy,taller than Charlton Heston Lee Marvin,Hackman etc he was clearly no less than 6ft3 peak.

Editor Rob the taller, the greater chance of more loss compared to average. I think near 4 inches is like 3-3.5 inches for a 5ft 9 range man, so it is a fair amount comparatively speaking.

I suppose the best estimates come from people who have seen the celebrity's in person. However for most of us this is likely to be pretty rare. Would we have been astonished to see how big Clint actually was in his prime or would we come away thinking he wasn't as tall as we thought. The comments I like are the ones where the poster says they were surprised to see how tall so and so was but these are the exception. Mostly when celebrities are spotted there seems to be a mild disappointment expressed as to the famous actor or whatever being much smaller in real life than they look on the screen.
Over the years some people have mentioned meeting him, some seem fake, but some have seemed genuine like the "bumped into him in a coffee ship in Monterrey in 1978" etc. And most people confirm that he looked very tall in person. he wouldn't have got the reaction that Stallone and Van Damme get when people realize they're not 6'4!

There is some case of young folks at the age of 20s-30s had suffer spinal fracture losing 2.5-3.5" max of height and could imagine when they get older like clint eastwood might reach the max shrink to 4". Conclusion that clint eastwood might have suffer spinal fracture since his age of late 40s-50s losing this much at 3.75"

Thanks, the site is now exactly 12 years old.
A shame I didn't have it earlier, but then, nothing is ever too late.
Personally, I think it will be interesting over time to see what figure user-contributed averages settle towards.
Will a guy like Cruise end up under 5ft 7, over 5ft 7?
Will Bieber hit 5ft 8 etc...
Who knows!
If you are a longer term visitor, I know many will have commented on hundreds of pages and feel there's nothing more to add...but I hope some will slowly add their guesses to the site...
There's no rush though, if you added 5 guesses a day, it would take you 5 years to have guessed on every entry in the database!
Will the MEAN average of your posters influence your ultimate decision Rob to either lower or raise some people's heights? I think it should if the consensus is overwhelming. What do you think?

Editor Rob over time I hope it helps me identify listings which are further from my estimate and I can look more closely at them.
I may not always agree with a consensus though...sometimes it can be influenced even by a photo I have.
All I ask is honesty in voting to help the site :)
I'm completely impartial to the votes in that you can guess however you like...the only issue is if somebody was submitting every celeb as 2 inches taller or shorter, maybe that's not so genuine.

Clint Eastwood is 6'4". He was when he became a star and he will always be that height as far as I'm concerned. I was 6'4" from about an age of 24 to my accident at age 64. I fell off a cliff at the beach. I couldn't walk for about a year. But I'm better now. I'm shorter but I simply don't measure myself anymore. I tell people I'm six four because that's my self image. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

No I'm sorry I'm not having 6'3 flat for this guy. In the deadpool aged 58 he looked a decent 6'3 still next to Liam Neeson(6'4.25)and I'm convinced he'd have lost height by then, probably half an inch. 6'3.5-75 peak. I'd challenge anyone really to find good examples of 50s/60s/70s Clint looking 6'3 flat, and no, comparing him to 6ft listed Santoni who no one rly has any idea how tall that guy really is is not a good example.

I agree with you berta,6ft3 is more like his peak,6ft4 morning height.looked 6ft3 right up to 60,6ft1.75 by 70,6ft.75 by 80,now 6ft at 86.

my grandmother is 91 soon 92 and she was 172 peak and now a Little under 167. so she has lost Little over 5 cm Clint have lost 10 cm!!! maybe he was only 190-91 peak? i can actually see him and the rock about the same height peak. Both measured Close to 6'4 in the morning and was 6'3 evening and said they were 193 nothing wrong with that they just Went with morning height i guess.

Agreed, James. Jackman is was a relatively thin guy before X-Men. That's why he could pass for 6ft3 at times when he was younger

Santoni look taller with Clint than Lee Marvin,and Marvin is listed as 6ft1.5.So if Santoni was 6ft flat that would put Marvin in the 5ft11.5 range.If Clint was 6ft2 range aged 40 it would mean he lost little or no height up until his 70s.

Reni Santonis height has been listed as tall as 6ft3 and also I have seen 6ft1 listings for him too.Clint was 6ft3.5 peak and Santoni was between 6ft1 and 6ft2 IMO. If Santoni was 6ft,Clint was 6ft2 max.

People ask why Clint has lost so much height but he is pretty old. He's 85 years of age. I see him as weak 6'4'' guy prime who has gradually lost height over time. Height loss really kicked in his 70s. Struggles to hit 6ft these days. Maybe some guys keep their stature better with age though, a 4 inch height loss seems a lot for a man although probably not unusual in a woman. I've seen his son Kyle and his band perform live and he looks more like Clint in person than in photos, very similar build tall and lean.

Yes, Hoff looks very trim at 191 pounds. In an earlier series of Baywatch he was carrying a lot more weight, in fact I thought he looked nearer 220 pounds in one of the earlier series. You'll remember that he used to suck his stomach in a lot. I don't think he's a guy who is naturally slim, his daughters are big. I think he has to work very hard to maintain it.

Perhaps clints height loss is not as uncommon as we think.
For example Vanessa Redgrave at 5'11 was the equivalent of a 6ft4 man and now at 79 she is 5'7-5'8 range.

Another poster said it before Clint was almost certainly somewhere between 6'3.25-6'3.75 in his youth. Anywhere taller or shorter than that range seems unlikely..for example he edged out James Brolin who by General consensus was a decent 6'3. Personally I think Clint was a guy who when measured would hit 6'3.75, but due to rather lax posture he'd often appear more 6'3.25-5.

I've never really bought the fact that Clint was 6'4. I think he began to lose height when he was 60..yes, he never had a good posture, but in "In the line of fire" he looked a weak 6'3 in shoes against Dylan McDermott, who looked a legit six footer, so in my opinion he was in his prime a good 6'2.5 (189cm) max and in his late 50's and early 60's he began his big slouch. Certainly, he has even nowadays a really bad posture...against 6'4.5 Armie Hammer and 5'11.75 Leonardo DiCaprio, he looks barely 6'1 in shoes, so he must be a solid 6' (183.5 cm) barefoot now max.

Imo he looked a solid inch taller than Van Cleef so probably 1.25 inches taller, but I don't think his posture was quite as good as Van Cleefs either, so if both men were measured barefoot I'd guess Eastwood would be 1.5 inches taller.

IMO he was 6ft4 in normal 1 inch shoes.Looked only 1 inch taller than Van Cleef,but could look 3 taller than Marvin,but that was more down to Marvin not been 6ft2 and more weak 6ft1.For a fit guy like Clint I dont get how he has lost so much height.

According to bmi 160 at 6ft is the healthiest weight since it's bang in the middle of the healthy weight bar so maybe it's not so bad. But if you want to put on weight in muscle simply go to the gym.
And yet wut is right James B. At 6ft around 180 pounds is when you stop looking skinny. Im not even a full inch taller and around 185 pounds I was still thin.
Around 200 pounds is perfect for me but i go as high as 210 pounds in the winter with water weight.

I was shocked he looked this tall and I even asked if something was off with the pic , like footwear or if he had a higher ground , my cousin told me they were both on even ground but Seagal was in cowboy boots. My cousin actually guessed him at 6'6 , 6'7 ( what he thought he appeared with the footwear). a 6'5 guy in cowboy boots looking 6'6 makes since. 6'4.5 minimum.

Definitely lost height compared to Donald Sutherland. In Space Cowboys looked a few inches shorter. I think Sutherland edged him Kelly's Heroes but difficult to be sure and some put Clint as looking taller in this film. Sutherland has really filled out with time whereas Clint still has the same lean frame he had as a young man albeit a little shorter.

Yh I can understand him claiming 6'4, from 18 to 50 odd he would have been that range, and stated that as his height..he most probably only measured his height once in his life. When you get to 70 odd you might know you've shrunk, but can't be bothered to measure your height and so just go with your former height.

hasslehoff at 195 looks very slim. his normal weight is closer to 210 i bet. i'm 6 foot and 160 pounds with a lanky build and get told i'm too skinny often. i think i'd have to weigh around 180 before i stopped looking thin.
According to bmi 160 at 6ft is the healthiest weight since it's bang in the middle of the healthy weight bar so maybe it's not so bad. But if you want to put on weight in muscle simply go to the gym.

...everyone's opinion is valid, and mine's just that; an opinion. But outdoor lighting, especially with the sun overhead, can play tricks on the eyes. I've seen guys from a distance, outdoors...say in a parking lot, and I think, "man...this guy is jacked". Then I'll be up close to him, like if it's at a grocery store, and he doesn't look nearly as muscular. This is my opinion on Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge, the "Loose" and "Can" movies, and others. Muscular? Sure thing. But muscular, while at the same time skinnier than you'd think. Even with western coats on (Pale Rider) or a sport coat on (Dirty Harry)...which you would think would make his shoulders look much broader, he looks totally narrow, from top to bottom. 190 until Every Which Way (He's totally skinny in the Gauntlet), and more after that...for a decade or so. So Rob doesn't get mad at me for steering this off height, the guy who played the villain (name escapes me...Andrew something) in Dirty Harry is listed as 5'11. I can only find one photo of he and Eastwood together, and I don't even think it's actually in the movie, but I could be wrong. If 5'11 is true, it would give us an indication of Clint's height if there was a good shot of them standing together.

...I find Eastwood's build hard to define. I still say he's got an extremely narrow frame, including the shoulders. His muscularity is sometimes hard for me to define, because I believe his torso, shirtless, is kind of hourglass shaped. I'm not sure if I'm seeing pecs, or just the top of the hourglass. Sure, his arms were muscular in the Every Which Way films, but they looked, at times, way out of proportion to everything else...particularly his legs. Chuck Connors was roughly 6'6 (according to his own son) and, I believe, I read he was around 215. But as lanky as he was, my opinion was that his frame, particularly shoulders was large and sturdy...more so than Eastwood's. So how was a man, potentially 2 to 3 inches taller than Eastwood and with broader shoulders and who , to my knowledge, didn't work out with weights nearly as much, be the same weight as a 1988 Eastwood? No opinion here, just stuff for conversation.

...I'm sure there are a zillion weight rules to choose from. I grew up being aware of roughly 10 lbs for every inch of height (starting from what point, I have no idea). I would put Eastwood at 190, no more, up to and including The Gauntlet. After that, it varied. To keep it on topic, 6'4 "right" out of bed or after laying around for a nap, but more like 6'3 plus, peak.
You add 10 pounds for every inch over 6'0" and 5 pounds under 6'0".

The old quote Rob added I'm pretty sure it was originally mentioned somewhere as 216 pounds in 1973 too. Clint was supposed to have been 205 pounds during the Dollars trilogy. I doubt he was as low as 190 after his 20s.

190 pounds is slender for 6'4 not really thatt "skinny". A guy like Hasslehoff is about that, he looks slender but not skinny. Under 180 at 6'4 would probably start to look skinny. Peter Crouch is around 6'8 and 170 pounds that's skinny!!

Look at him in High Plains Drifter Anonymous, he was in the bathtub in that. Decent muscle in the chest, shoulders and arms and reasonably broad, more than a typical skinny guy, but really quite slender overall.

...never said Eastwood would be 150, now. My general point was that, based on the 10 lbs per inch rule, the equivalent of a 6'4 / 190 lb man is a 6'0 / 150 lb man. Overall point being 190 is skinny for 6'4. At just over 6 foot myself, I once got down to 148 lbs. A photo of me, shirtless and taken outside, made me look super cut and muscular. In person, I was a twig. Beyond a twig. Photos (or film) don't always tell the tale. Apparently, Rob said the 216 lb weight was from 1988. That makes sense. He was a little older, and had trained heavily for everything from Every Which Way But Loose to Heartbreak Ridge. But I know I read 190 as his weight, at other times. And I disagree about his frame. Be it film, video or photograph, you always look a bit heavier. I marvel at how narrow Eastwood looks, particularly from the waist up, in most of his films.

Arch- on the topic of clints weight this is why I think heavy weight lifting is more suited for taller folk such as clint Eastwood and Hugh Jackman etc.
I am 172cm range and 6 years ago I used to lift to stupidly heavy weights on the machines at the gym and got up to 174 pounds (without clothes in the morning) at my heaviest and it made me look really stumpy and overdeveloped. I now weigh 150 pounds and look better for it since it helps me look slimmer and taller.
It's a sad fact but tall people can carry loads of muscle and still pull of looking slim.

Rob, perhaps you could put up the 1973 216 pounds quote here from the celebweights page? Anonymous I think he was about 205 in Dollars era. 215 in the 70s and more 220-5 in 78-90 era. Today probably 185-90 range I'd guess. He was never a skinny guy like Jimmy Stewart or James Coburn. Heavier framed than you think, but because he had long legs and slender frame I guessed it made him look thinner.

...I realize this site is about heights, but weights go along with heights. To that end, I'm curious as to Eastwood's weight(s). I've read 190, and I've also read 215...which I would assume coincides with his more muscular build of '78 to '90, roughly. For arguments' sake, let's say he was 6'4 peak (and I still go with just under that, on any given day), and 190...say in 1977. I've read for every inch of height you add 10 pounds (and I could be 100% wrong on that). But if it's true and just for kicks, if Eastwood was a 6 footer and not 6'4, he'd have only been 150. I have no real point here, other than he is/was one skinny guy.

Yh but it's not like he lost 4 inches overnight in which case I'm sure you'd be pretty alarmed by it. It's a gradual loss over the last 40 years or so, which you don't really notice.

I wonder what Eastwood, himself, thinks about going from almost or equal to 6'4, and then down to 5'11 to 6'0. Nothing wrong with the latter, but that's a dramatic difference. The guy must be elusive, because it seems no one who posts here has ever run into him, recently in particular. Just watched Sudden Impact again, last night. Great Dirty Harry movie. Too bad he ended his run with Dead Pool, which I feel was far inferior.

i don't get why you guys are so shocked about his height loss. There's nothing abnormal in my opinion about a 6'3.75 guy ending up at 5'11.5 aged 86. Very tall people have longer spines hence they lose much more than the average man when they get to be very old and also lots of men who are very tall often don't live as long as clint.
It's hardly rocket science is it?
It's more than average loss, at his age you'd expect 2.5-3 inches but it's now 4 inches. 6'2.5 to his current height would be about average loss I think.
He's closer to 5'11" today, which makes it 5 inches in height loss from his peak.

Editor Rob: age is a big factor because he is quite active well into 80's...he might have lost an inch more than what you'd expect, but some people can really lose several inches by their mid 80's. The taller the more chance the loss could be greater than average.
Really Rob? You didn't mention that Clint has a form of scoliosis (curving spine) which definitely added to premature and above average height loss? He probably also has osteoperosis.

How could that be? Is it because it is only the upper-body that has shrunken so his fingers still reach the level on his legs? I would his arms would still look relative to his waist. Generally, old men to have disproportionate arm length.

Because he seems like a very fit guy for 86,people find it hard to beloved that he had lost so much height.Also if he was 6ft2 or 6ft2.5 peak,it would mean a lot of downgrades for everybody else he is being compered too.But it's not impossible that there was height exaggerating in Hollywood during Clints heyday.Today it is more difficult for celebs to get away with lying about their height because of websites like celebhights.

Watched Pink Cadillac and Eastwood looked pretty beefed up in this particularly in the arms, guessing he was doing a fair bit of weight lifting at this point. If you watch his films you can notice his torso getting shorter over the years which I suppose isn't uncommon. Most of us will lose height as we age but it won't be widely noticed because we aren't movie stars. I don't agree with those who suggest he was 6'2'' peak I think the height given on this site is more accurate.

@bobbyh3342, have you got any evidence to back that up ? No of course not. Anything under 6'3 peak is garbage.

How do you think he managed to look similar to 6ft4 guys like George Kennedy and Greg wallcot?Had about 2.5 to 3 inches on Lee Marvin.If he was 6ft2.5 peak that would put Marvin at 6ft flat peak if you can prove he was then your right.

If he did not lose almost 4 inches from peak,the only way he could have pulled of looking so tall is shoe lifts.Could this be a possibility?

How is it possible to shrink 9 cm!?!
He's actually lost closer to 13cm. HOW? Easy. He's almost 90 years old and most men will have lost 3"+ by then naturally. NOW, Clint has suffered from scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and osteoporosis for years. My 91 year old grandmother used to be 5'2" and today is 4'10". Her mother was 5'11" and down to 5'5" by 90.

6-4 prime. I was just under 6' 8" in cowboy boots so he looks like a building in them with Sergio's camera angles on top of his prime height.
Dog the Bounty Hunter said he's 5'7" and in his custom made cowboy boots he reaches 5'10", so some cowboy boots can add as much as 3", but I suppose 2" is the standard norm?

You know my grandpa just visited me recently for an occasion and he saw my grand who he hasn't seen in over 30 years. They divorced by the way. Anyway I ask him how tall she was when she was younger and he said she was the same height. Also my mom says my grandma was a bit taller. Now she is about 166 cm at best late. My grandpa is about 173 cm standing at his best. My grandma claimed 175 when she was younger and my grandpa claimed 178 cm. Kind of strange huh? So Rob can you believe that? Both are just under 80 years old.

Editor Rob some can lose different amounts...if you are a women, nearly 80 and 2-3 inches lost is very common. If you make it to that age with 1 inch you've done remarkably well based against the average. For a man, 1 inch lost by then is also excellent...if somebody offered me 80 and 5ft 7 I'd bite their hand off!

Watch him in films like Play Misty for Me, The Gauntlet and Magnum Force. I think it's pretty obvious he was near 6'4. Always looked inches taller than 6'1-6'2 guys. His legs and frame are typical of a 6'4 guy, just too lanky for just 6'2-6'3. If you watch Thunderball Rik Van Nutter had an almost identical build, he was 6'4. Him next to Connery in that film is exactly how Clint would have looked to a guy that height in his prime.

Yeah I'd say he was easily closing in on 6ft6 in boots. Add the hat and probably clearing 6ft6...

More like 6ft5 in boots in Coogans Bluff.The scene where he is in just socks with Susan Clarke,who's 5ft9 he looks max 6ft 3 in comparison.

6'3 peak is too low, 6'3.5 is possible, but just 6'3 seems unlikely...he looked 6'3 to me in the 80s, but by then he was in his fifties and especially someone like him would have lost height. 6'3.75 peak is accurate.

There is another photo taken at the same time as that one,were their stance is slightly different on borsari images.And IMO Hudson is at least 1.5 inches taller but I still think 2.Clint was maybe 6ft 3.5 peak,but I still feel more comfortable with 6ft 3 peak height

I can see more than an inch,Hudson is also a but hunched.Standing with the same posture as Clint I can see a clear 2 inch difference in Hudsons favour.

An inch to inch and a half for Hudson over Eastwood in that photo. 6'5'' Hudson, Eastwood round about 6'4'' maybe just under.

jervis, are you talking about this shot? Click Here
I have a hard time seeing 2 inches between them there, you could say a strong inch advantage for Hudson though.

6ft2.75 is the max in that movie James B.Sometimes looked no more than 6ft2.Did you check out that photo with Rock Hudson?,just google Susan Anton Clint Eastwood images it shows that Hudson is about 2 inches taller.There are more of thease photos on Bursaries images.There is also a photo of Susan Anton with David Soul that's entreating.

I think he'd have measured 6 ft 4 in the morning peak. Near enough 6'4 to claim it, probably just under overall is the best shout. Down to 6'3 by late 80s.
Out of bed clint would have been 6'4.75 and by lunchtime down to a flat 6'4.
He made David soul look under 6'0.5 didn't he arch?

6ft3½-6ft3¾ at worst peak if not 6ft4. He was head and shoulders above almost everyone in Dirty Harry. A 6ft2 guy can't pull that off.

Gene Hackman was about the same height as Sean Connery in Bridge to Far.The lowest peak height I've heard for Connery is 6ft1.5.Clint had about 2 inches on Hackman.So if Clint was 6ft2 peak that would make Connery about 6ft flat peak and Hackman the same.Also if Clint was 6ft2 peak that would make Forest Whitaker 6ft flat because Clint had about 2inches on him.IMO Hackman was more 6ft1 peak,Whitaker 6ft1,Connery 6ft1.5.Making Clint 6ft3 not 6ft2.By the way if my memory serves me well,I'm sure Connery said he was 6ft1.5,back in 1985 on the Wogan show.
