Hey guys. Check this out. Clint Eastwood is 85 years old! He is an old man!
Clint is like 5'11 nowadays. 6'2.5 peak. 189cm in hollywood is very tall and perhaps in the past even more so. Definitely lost quite a bit of height.
His back looks very weak and of course he is old. Clint is somebody who has very obviously become shorter. His whole abdominal area has collapsed. Even when I look at his younger pictures, it seems his abdominal area looks weaker, slightly compressed.
Hollywood heights are always exaggerated. Clint was tall, but never had the body of a 6'4 guy. He has the classic look of a 6'2 guy, just a bit taller.
I'd take 6'2.5 over 6'4 any day. 6'4 is too tall.
By the way, Clint looks to me as a person who definitely needs hormone replacement.

I think he was probably just under 6'4''. Pondered a lot on this one but he just doesn't look quite as big as genuine 6'4'' guys. There is a photo of Clint with 6'4'' John Gavin and Clint looks shorter. Has lost a heck of a lot of height with age though although I guess most famous people his age have long since retired from the spotlight so hard to compare with others.

Yes Skarsgard and Goldblum do look taller on screen than Clint did.Clint was more like Donald Sutherlands height when young.If you look at the body snachers movie you can see that Goldblum has a least 1inch in height over Sutherland.IMO he would have the same over a young Clint.If Clint was any less than 6ft3 peak it would mean a lot of downgrades from Lee Marvin to George kennedy Greg Walcoot,Rock Hudson,and many more,all downgradeing by around 1.5inches.I can belive that there was a little bit of exaggerating of peoples heights in the old days,but now it is more difficult to get away with it.

I don't know, jervis. I just saw 2-3 western movies (the most famous) with him and he really never gave me a "particularly tall" impression to me! You got guys like Alexander Skarsgard, Jared Padalecki, Jeff Goldblum or Boris Kodjoe, who are supposed to be 6'4 range too, and they always look very tall, always! I mean, even if you're not a person who pays attention to height, you will always notice how (very) tall these people are! Clint never really gave me that "impression", but again i've seen only a few movies so maybe they made him look shorter, i don't know...

My own opinion is that Dillman was not ever 6 ft. Ben Jones (a super nice guy) is often listed as 6'3, and I met him a decade or more ago. He was easily under 6 ft.(my own height). Heights are exaggerated in Hollywood, even if not by the celebrities themselves.

If you really watch his 60s and 70s films 6'4" does look right in most comparisons, but with some like Gregory Walcott in Joe Kidd and Larry Hankin in Escape from Alcatraz he could look a bit under it. He did seem to edge out Donald Sutherland though who with Elliot Gould was nothing under 6'3.5. I've always seen him as the same height as Wayne, so you could argue 6'3.75 too I think.

Andrea what height do you think a peak Clint was?If he was say 6ft2 how did he manage to look the same as George Kennedy,was it with the help of lifts,or do you belive Kennedy was 6ft2 also?I think he was more 6ft3 myself,6ft4.5 in cowboy boots.

Rob do you think 6'3.75 like John Wayne might be the best overall shout? I can well believe he got measured at 6'4 but it might have been a morning measurement. I think most of us think more weak 6'4, with Volonte he didn't look 6'4 but I think Volonte had some boost in his footwear. In most comparisons peak he really did look around 6'4". He certainly looked it with Rock Hudson. He did look to edge out Sutherland but not easy to tell. I think you could argue 6'3.5-6'4 range, perhaps 6'3.75 makes the most sense overall?
Editor Rob
I think from all the evidence of Clint in younger years, he might have fallen into the same as Wayne. It might make sense, Wayne was unique in that one time he actually gave the 3.75 mark. Clint has always went with 6ft 4.

He looked his most intimidating in Heartbreak Ridge in 1986 IMO.
Intimidating? You mean personality wise? Height wise? Not sure if physically he looked his most largest if anything he looked quite thin in that movie. In films like dead pool and pink Cadillac that's the bulkiest he's ever looked to me.
Granted often a crew cut/short hair makes you look taller and skinnier.
Size doesn't always equate to intimidating. It was the crew cut and if anything being less bulky in it and more toned made him look tougher.

Peak height 192 cm range, 6'3.5" is likely with a chance of 6'3.75". Current height... Hard to say if he could straighten up for a measurement at all, but he doesn't look over 6'0" to me.

Clint had a bad/relaxed posture even when he was young. He rarely stood up to his full 6ft4 . Nowadays his back is so bad that he cannot straighten up. I think this estimate is very accurate. Maybe with some stretching/yoga he might still hit 6ft1.

Rob, with all due respect, but 10 cm of height loss seems excessive to me for Clint, then everything is possible, for Heaven's sake, but 10 cm does not seem realistic.

I saw Clint up close directing "The Garden of Good and Evil" in Savannah, about 15 years ago. He looked pretty good back then and was easily in the 6'2" to 6'4" range. Definitely taller than everyone around him--camera guys, security, guys, etc.

It's a no brainer that obviously there going to make clint seem very intimidating for a role as a lieutenant. Because that's the character he plays........ In his prime though he was a tough guy though for sure not someone you would want to get into a fight with. I think he very much played himself in a lot of his movies.

...just watched True Crime (1999), and to me, Eastwood never looked more than 6'1. Dennis Leary is listed as 6'2, and James Woods as 5'11. Whether those heights are valid, I don't know. One photo has Clint edging out Leary by an inch, which would make him 6'3. But was Leary really 6'2? One thing is for certain...to me, in that by 1999 and in this movie, no way Eastwood look 6'4...or even 6'3. I've always thought that Eastwood actually looked his most intimidating in The Dead Pool...as he looked more filled out....perhaps from working out more for various 80's movies. In this movie, 11 years later, he looks scrawny.

@James, I think the worst you could argue for Hudson is 6'4.5, If you watch The Bend of The River Hudson looked about 1.5 inches taller than Jimmy Stewart who was a very solid 6'3". 195cm for Hudson is possible, but definitely around 6'5 if you see a lot of his films.

Two pretty awful examples you use there to justify Clint being 6'3..firstly bridges was 6'1.5 and eastwood had him by 2 inches whilst holding some pretty loose posture..and secondly Eastwood was 57/58 when acting with neeson,and had probs lost half an inch meanwhile arguably neeson was 6'4.25...so yh based on what your saying 6'3.75 peak for Eastwood..which i think fits him perfectly.

6ft3 peak for Clint seems more real it would explain why he looked 1inch short of Neeson and max 2 taller than Bridges rather than he shrank 4inches.

Without splitting hairs id say 6'4 in the 50s and 60s is more the equivalent of 6'5.5 today rather than 6'6...6'6 would mean on average we're getting about a third of an inch taller per decade which seems slightly inflated.

Rob could be have been 6'4 in the 50s and shrunk slightly to 6'3.5-6'3.75 by the 1960s?

In the 50's he could look a very solid 6ft4

Physically I dont think Clint ever looked quite as tall as say, Vincent Price who everyone agrees was a legit 6'4 guy.
Doesnt mean he was never 6'4 peak though.
And about Nick Faldo, Ive seen him up close and hes easily 6'3.

@James B..not sure what you disagree with then lol because i agree with what youve said which is what I put basically.. Think it is possible tall actors were recruited to play parts in his westerns...if they just selected average range guys at the time so say 5'9 ish then the story line would be a bit rubbish as Clint at 192/193 would look like hed dispose of them at ease..hiring people over 6 ft though, those people seem like meaner opponents and make for a better film.

I disagree Rory since I think he didn't give 2 ****s about his height he would have carelessly just said 6'4 for the the sake of it even if hes just under it. If height was important to him he would have claimed 6'5

6'4 was so tall for his generation? I would have said the opposite from looking at him in those western movies, he looked very normal height to be fair... That's why i asked you if the average actor was 6' and over at that time. As i said, look at Jared Padalecki with a couple of 5'8 guys: Click Here
Now imagine how a 5'7 guy would look next to him! It's hard to believe Clint would have been so much taller than Eli, really!

Yh I certainly think Clint wouldn't have knowingly lied about his height, he wasn't the sort..id say in his 60s westerns prime out of bed 6'4.25, last thing at night 6'3.5..so in essence he stood near and around the 6'4 mark to claim it..Clint strikes me as the no nonsense type so adding things like "and a half" or worse "and three quarters" wouldn't have been his thing,he would have just said 6'4.

I really don't think Clint was sort of guy to claim he was 6 ft 4 if he hadn't have been measured at it. Also he seems pretty sure he was that height at 15 or whatever it was Andrea because he said in his biography there was only one guy taller in the school who was an inch taller at 6 ft 5. He seems sure of the figures, so quite likely he got measured that height in high school. He might have been in gym daps or something, you never know, but he was clearly around it.
Remember also that for his generation 6 ft 4 was so tall that many like Christopher Lee and Rock Hudson would downgrade. Hudson was once put at 6'3.5!
While it is true Hollywood embraced big guys even then, and Arthur Lubin was impressed with his stature when he walked into a studio, in terms of finding work in anything but a macho western it wouldn't have been easy. Rock Hudson in a way was lucky he had the romantic comedy roles he did and they found ways to address the height difference.

I don't know, Arch. As i said, it could be that most of the actors in his era were over 6 foot? Look at this: Click Here
The tall actor on the left, Larry Hankin, is listed at 6'4 on the net... I've seen him in Breaking Bad and Pain and Gain and thought he could look 6'2-6'3. Now, this guy is in his 70s, so you'd expect he's lost at least an inch, so he probably was not much far off the 6'4 mark when younger... In that clip, he looks similar to Clint, i'll give you that!

Rob do you agree that it would be a historic moment if david beckham and clint eastwood met at some awards ceremony and had a few pictures together? Clint as we all know has met face to face with hugh jackman. Beckham and jackman were on graham norton together recently too. Yet for some reason eastwood and beckham have not crossed paths YET.
It would be great if they did meet before clint eastwood dies but it may never happen :-(. Never say never though beckham I think is getting more into acting and will mixing with Hollywood big names. Odd though beckham has a lot of photos with Hollywood celebs since 2007 but he has never bumped into clint eastwood in LA where he spends most of his time.

@ Andrea I read somewhere that Clint got measured for a waxwork in his western garb for a Californian museum in the 60s and it measures 6'5.5. Cowboy boots typically give around 2 inches so think what of that as you may. I still think he'd have easily hit 6'4" early in the day anyway, but possible his lowest was 6'3" range.

But again look how huge Jared looks next to two guys listed at 5'8 (who Rob met): Click Here
I've seen like 7 seasons of Supernatural and a couple "movies" with Jared and he always looks huge compared to the others... These days i've seen 2-3 western movies with a young Clint and i'd expect him to look very tall next to the others, as a big 6'4 should, but he didn't TO ME. Maybe every actor was 6'+ in his era, i don't know, but I don't get that very tall impression I get from 6'4 tall actors like J. Padalecki, A. Skarsgard or J. Goldblum! Hell, even a Lance Reddick always strikes me as being very tall and that guy claims 6'2...

@Andrea, check out this video of Clint in 1967 with 5 ft 8 John Humphries. Click Here The height difference is similar to Rob and George Romero IMO. I really do think Clint was near than 6'4 mark, but as he said. 6'3.5-6'4 is arguable, but in most comparisons the fully 6'4" checks out back in 60s and 70s.

Clint is dropped a little more height I think than Wallach in that still, though I would admit at times that Wallach looked closer than he should to Clint's height at times in it, although a lot of uneven terrain doesn't help. There's one shot near the end where Eastwood I think looks 8+ inches taller than Wallach.

He was in great shape and had good posture back in the day. If you were to take away those injuries and subsequent surgeries he'd still be 6ft2 range at least now. Connery has lost about 1in from his peak.

Of course they're outside so it's hard to make a good comparison but if Clint was really 6'4 this guy didn't look under 5'9-5'10 to me in the movie! A 5'7 guy should be around the chin of a 6'4 guy!

today he does look 6' flat and actually i have several doubts that a person can lose (with same posture) 4" in height with age, that in this case would mean more than the 5% of his body lenght...
it's also possible he was 6'3" flat...

Clint Eastwood peak height range:6'2-6'3(most likely around 190cm flat)
Nowadays:5'11-6'0,probably about 181cm(strong 5'11),really can't see him over 182 these days,and with his terrible slouch habits,he could look as low as 180cm.Just going to show you that being tall isn't always good for your body,and especially if you have a long spine,it means you could lose more height as you age,just like Clint's case,who always seemed to be physically healthy and fit(until about 2000 probably),but has already lost a good 3 inches at 85...

I just saw "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", which is basically the first old movie with Clint i've ever seen. And, to be fair, he never struck me as a big 6'4 in that movie... Also, i was very surprised to see that Eli Wallach was only 5'7 on here, i thought he was something like 5'9-5'10 with Clint! Never looked 9 big inches shorter than him! Many scenes were outside, that's true, so it is hard sometimes to tell the real difference but still 9 inches should be a huge difference, very noticeable! I know you probably will attack to me till death, Arch, but still 6'4 should be a very tall height and he didn't look very tall at all... Again, this is the first movie i see with a young Clint so it could be just this movie, i'll try to see other movies with him ;)

Watching Django, the original from 1966 and made me realize just how badass Clint was in those westerns. Although Franco Nero can look like Clint from a distance the face and the dubbed voice isn't even a tenth of badass as Clint was. Django is a great film. but would have been much better if Clint was in ir.

I think with Clint the image people have of him is still the virile guy in his 30s and 40s. He is very elderly although still at the top of his game in terms of directing. I think that it is feasible that he may have shrunk 4 inches or thereabouts given he recently turned 85 years of age. Not all men lose this much height but then again not all men live to this age.

Editor Rob it is a possibility. Everybody ultimately can't be all on even marks like 6ft 3 or 4, like Wayne he could be a guy who is a fraction under but naturally would say 6ft 4.

What could Clint have done to shrink 4 inches in height? Not even Jackie Chan who has tortured his body his entire career will shrink as much as Clint. Maybe taller people shrink more because of a larger spine? But even then... shrinking 4 inches is quite a substantial amount no matter how tall you are.
He's an 85 year old man with severe scoliosis, that's how.

I'm 73... and have lost 1 1/2" since my peak. I'm now 6' even. I volunteer with a group of men my age and older. A few of the 80 year old men have lost 3" in height since young. It happens. I believe I've lost 1/2" in just the last 3 or so years. I stand straight, still exercise with weights and have no health issues. Height just goes, like the hair line, the night vision and a few other once important things.
Thanks for posting Bob!

Arch Stanton, I thought Walcott was bigger than Clint. More stocky for sure but also slightly taller to my eyes. I've seen Walcott state that he was picked for the bad guys in some of Clint's films because he was similar size to Clint just a little bigger. I don't know for sure if he was referring to just his build or height and build but overall he was a bigger man.

mrbobh5344; You closed with the phrase, "a few other once important things". I like your attitude, as it appears that these cosmetic losses (or changes) do not matter to you, at 73. As for another poster's comment about knee surgery being partially responsable for height loss, I've read articles that say a knee replacement requires an exact fit...meaning nothing changes the length of the leg. I've lost a lot of cartilige in my right knee, but haven't lost height and nor do I sense it when I stand with my legs straight. Who knows.

He probably lost it due to old age, majority of people get some form of Osteophorsis. My uncle was 5ft 6 he now 5ft 2 at 80. My nan and her 3 sisters all lived to 93 but lost about 6 to 8 inches each.

...I really don't see eastwood as sad or frail looking, myself. Most peple change dramatically when they get old. Eastwood still looks the same to me. Just more wrinkles. But, he always had wrinkles. Dennis Weaver, to my recollection, aged the same way. The basic look never changed, only the hair got whiter and more wrinkles. If you took Eastwood, colored his hair and took a full body photo of him from 30 feet away, standing like Dirty Harry, he'd look right out of Sudden Impact...age 53. It's his height loss that perplexes me. One could argue he's lost 4 inches. It's not like he's bent over with crippling osteoporosis. 4 inches is dramatic. I just can't figure it.

Nick Faldo was 6'3" at least in the late 80s minimum. Maybe taller. Slouches pretty much as most tall golfers. He was about 3 inches taller than Ballesteros.
Rob, are there any studies that state that the taller you are the more chances of loosing height as you grow older?
For some reason that's what it seems!

...ok, back to square one. If Faldo is, indeed, 6'3 (and I'm only going by what previous posts said), no way is Eastwood anything but around 6 even. Nothing wrong with 6 even, or any height for that matter. But, if Eastwood was 6'4 peak (I think 6'3.5, myself), it's got to be a very strange feeling to be taller than even 6'2 and 6'3 guys, and then 4 inches less than you were.

Food for thought; According to writer Andrew Purcell, in the article, "Straight Shooter; Jersey Boys director Clint eastwood, 84, and going strong" (The Sydney Morning Herald), Eastwood is still 6'3. Either the author felt that was his height, or Eastwood claims it. I have my doubts about 6'3, based on many comparisons. But, if either the writer or Eastwood is still claiming he's 6'3, he can't be "too" far from it. Who knows. Id have to stand next to the guy, myself, to really know. As an side, it bugs me that Eastwood alters his voice for recent movies, with all that gutteral sound. He doesn't speak like that in interviews, and...with the exception of Heartbreak Ridge (and even tht voice bugs me. I keep wanting o clear my throat when watching), didn't speak that way in movies until recent acting appearances.

Jervis...Lemmon looks to me four inches shorter than Garner, and he walked with a bad hunch by that point. I can see 5'5"-5'6" for him. Maybe Rebhorn was really over 6'3", but I challenge you to look at the difference between them and tell me it's less than 6 inches. Steve McQueen was notorious for being short and trying to look taller. I haven't seen him with Garner before but I'd be suspicious even of 5'9" for McQueen. I've never noticed bad posture on Eastwood. I'm sure I'll find more evidence supporting my claim on him, but the reason I doubt he lost more height than average is that he looks the same when standing next to people now as he did years ago. Even the 6'2" Morgan Freeman, who is about 16 or so years younger than Eastwood, looks maybe an inch taller than him today.

No, Jervis...I'm saying that many leading men whose reputations were assisted by their being tall had exaggerated height listings. George Kennedy was not leading man type so there was no reason to exaggerate his. John Wayne's definitely was exaggerated, so was James Garner's. I generally trust the heights of supporting players or heavies. Rock Hudson was obviously tall no matter who he stood next to.

I never said Eastwood lost no height, but the 4"-5" loss is plain silly especially for someone who has had no physical deformities that I know of. Look at any picture of Clint with Morgan Freeman, who is listed at 6'2"...about the same, but if there's any difference, it favors Freeman. Look at the pic I mentioned with George Kennedy. The top of their heads are about exact, certainly less than a half inch apart, yet Kennedy is easily losing three inches with his knee-bent slouch. I have yet to see a single pic where Clint is standing next to someone of known height and by comparison appears 6'4". The one and only certifiably 6'4" guy I've seen Clint next to frequently was Liam Neeson, and Clint is noticeably shorter. I don't believe a healthy, built 57 year old in 1987 would be two full inches shorter than his peak height. My father is 6'0" and hasn't lost an inch, and he's 61. I put Eastwood at a peak of 6'2" and now 6'1". Bradley Cooper, who is 6'1", appears an inch taller than Eastwood in a pic of them together, but Cooper is wearing noticeably thicker heeled shoes. Eastwood lost one inch...he is NOT the Incredible Shrinking Man.

No way, Jervis...Kennedy is giving away easily three inches in that knee bent slouch. If they were the same height, Eastwood would be substantially taller. They wouldn't be that close. Look at the top of their heads...a fraction of an inch difference. Ground looks level to me.

Im around 6ft in shoes but 5ft11 bearfoot in the morning d around 5ft10.5 by the evening.So maybe Clint was 6ft4 in shoes as a young man.Maybe all the old movie stars were measured in shoes.I would still go no lower than 6ft3 peak for Clint.I could knock 1inch to allow for shoes.

Kennedy is 5 years older than Clint.Kennedy was 50 and Clint 45 at the time of that movie.l saw the movie and there was not a clear height difference between the two.Dan what height do you think James Coburn was peak?By the way he was only 2 years older than Clint.You must remember Clint said homself he was 6ft4 so that would mean he lied about his height,and was maybe wearing some sort of lifts in his shoes in his younger days so it would look as if he wad 6ft4 next to taller co stars.

I came across an old pic of Eastwood with the legitimately 6'4" George Kennedy, and Kennedy is leaning on Eastwood with a knee bent, and he is still at Eastwood's level even though Eastwood is standing straight and tall. Kennedy is also older than him so the height loss theory won't work. If Eastwood was 6'4", in that position he'd be at least a couple inches above Kennedy.

Id quite like to hear what you think Clints..well ok lets not use the words peak height with you, lets say "height" is then, 5'10 I reckon maybe 5'9 eh ? No. Peak the man was minimum 6'3, not a hair less and probably a bit more. I dunno who your comparisons are with but ive not seen a plausible one yet (and no 6'4.25 Neeson "towering" (aka having 1.5 inches max)an Eastwood nearing 60 doesnt count).

Jervis...listed heights were ALWAYS exaggerated half a century ago. James Garner ever being 6'2" is a total laugh. Everyone I've ever seen who looks a legitimate 6'2" towers over him. You should see "My Fellow Americans" where the 6'3" James Rebhorn is easily six inches taller than him. He may have lost some height from back issues but he never looked over 6'0" to me...if that.

Rory...what's laughable is your standard for measuring height. He just somehow "looked" taller in the 1960s?? What I've noticed is that when you actually compare Eastwood to various other stars, he is always equal with those billed in the 6'1"-6'2" range and ALWAYS shorter that those in the 6'3"-6'4" range. You have to have a REASON to lose substantial height.Eastwood has always been remarkably fit, and I know men his age and older and far less fit who are exactly or darn close to their peak heights. Let's not forget in the 1960s they went out of their way to make stars look tall, using small doors, buildings, or short leading ladies.

Laughable to suggest Eastwood hasn't lost any height..just look at the guy in his films from the 1960s where he looked strong tall and lean and look at him today, a shadow of his former self..if you stood a 1965 Eastwood with a 2015 Eastwood your barely be able to tell they were the same people.

Danimal...as I mentioned in an earlier post, I reject the loss of height theory. People lose height if they have things like osteoporosis or something. Eastwood remained remarkably fit and muscular throughout his 60s and had no reason to just lose height. I know people in their 70s who are still their peak heights. I met Karl Malden in 2005, and he was about an inch shorter than I am (and I'm 6'2.5"), so he was still at least 6'1" even at 93 years old while he was 6'2" at his peak.
Arch Stanton...did you see the black tie pic I mentioned? Also, look at when Clint and Liam are filmed from the back walking side by side...way more than a half inch difference.

I don't know how to add links here, but look at the picture of Eastwood and Neeson in black tie attire at the premiere for Dead Pool. Neeson is slouching and is still three inches taller than Eastwood. Even now the 6'4" D. Sutherland is noticeably taller than Clint. Funny how Eastwood magically shrinks over time when his costars don't.

In Pale Rider (1985) Eastwood looked to slightly edge out 6'3 Moriarty. However in Pink Cadillac (1989) he was looking in 6'2.5-6'3 range with 6'6.5 James Cromwell and about 6'3" with Morgan Freeman in Unforgiven (1992). He could have been around 190cm by that period.

I'd say compared to Jeff Bridges Clint looked 6'3 range but his posture was bad in thunderbolt and light foot.
I think judging by how tall he looked with David Soul, Rock Hudson and Jeff Bridges we can rule out 6'2.5 peak. Him 'looking' 6'2 1/2 at times in some of his films like Dirty Harry and Magnum Force is irrelevant.
the full 6'4 is still not certain in my opinion for Clint.

Anyone agree in Magnum Force clint looked 6'2.5 and occasionally 6'4? Again no way am i implying he was as short as 6'2.5 peak just saying 6'2-6'3 range is what he mostly 'looked' in that particular movie from what i remember. In Dirty Harry as well looked under 6'4 for most of the film and yet occasionally scene pulled of looking above 6'3.
In the Enforcer clint did not look under 6'3 range in that film and like arch pointed out there was once scene when he walked through a doorway where he looked 6'4.
Anyone agree in Magnum Force clint looked 6'2.5 and occasionally 6'4? Again no way am i implying he was as short as 6'2.5 peak just saying 6'2-6'3 range is what he mostly 'looked' in that particular movie from what i remember.

Always a chance he was 6'3.5 or 6'3.75 like Wayne claimed but really if you measure between those marks claiming 6'4 isnt really that wild. A guy that size probably shrinks round 1 inch morning to night. Probably solid 6'4.5 out of bed.

Arch we don't know Mcgills official height because he has not got a listing on this site. 6'2.5 for Mcgill is possible but then so is 6'2 as well.
I don't think clint eastwood was quite as tall as 6'3 1/2 in 1986.

Bran swede was played by 6ft6 Peter kotch,Lesnar was only 9 years old in1986.l think the pictures of Sutherland andConnery show that Connery was closer to 6ft1 than 6ft2.Yes Sutherland dose look 6ft4 next to Connery if Connery was 6ft2.But he dose not look 6ft4 next to goldbloom in body snachers and goldbloom states his height as 6ft4 in that movie.As for Blocker there is a fight scean between him and Chuck Conners in rifle man Conners at6ft5.5 looks about 2 or 3 inches taller than Blocker.

Just been watching heartbreak ridge and this guy gives me no indication of a 6ft4 range guy at all. The guys i know who are 6'4 look so more stand out ish, im really confused, i mean i know Clint was 56 or something then, but the guy looks like a 6ft2 man maybe 6ft2.5
Eastwood had begun to lose height by 1986 and in that film had about 1-1.5 inches on 6'2.5 Everett McGill.

Kennedy was 50 and Clint 45 at the time of eiger sanction,I dont think Kennedy would have lost any height at 50.To me in that film I did not see any hight difference between them.I dont belive Kennedy was 6ft4 he was more 6ft3 like Clint did not look much taller than Dan Blocker in Bonanza did not tower him Like Clint Walker did.Blocker looked about 6ft2 max next to Walker but very similer to Kennedy.
The human body gradually begins to start shrinking between 30 and 40. It becomes noticeable by 50 and even more noticeable every decade after that. The average MALE will have lost 1.2" by 70. That does not happen over night. It's a gradual height loss of about .3" every decade after 30, so YES, he could have lost .5" by 50 years old.

No, not just 1.5 inches. Watch the film. Sutherland had an EASY two inches on him, there's some screenshots Click Here Eastwood and Sutherland looked very similar in Kelly's Heroes but in one scene Eastwood looked to edge him out a bit. Sutherland was a strong 6'3, looked it with Elliot Gould in MASH. The lowest you can really argue for Eastwood is 6'3.5 at peak,

Eastwood was never a legit 6'4".
I agree Judd, he had a slim wire build that made him seem taller than he really was. No way he was over 6'3" barefoot.

Connery was 6ft1.5 as he said himself,and Sutherland round 6ft3 that would make a difference of around 1.5 inches in Sutherlands favour.You must remember that goldbloom was at least 1inch taller then Sutherland in body snachers.On Kennedys height if Blocker was 6ft4 then yes him and Kennedy were the same height,but im not convinced Blocker was 6ft4,not compered to the rest of the cast members on Bonanza.l taught that German guy was 6ft6 if he wad only 6ft4 that would mean Clint and Kennedy were not 6ft4 because he had about 2 on both of them.

Arch, i've a question for you: it's likelier that a person has lost 3-4" (8-10 cms) at 70-80 years old that's the equivalent of 5-10% of his/her height (it depends by his/her prime height) or maybe that an actor/actress wore lifts when he played his/her role????
Look Sutherland next to TLJ (rob listed him at 6'0.25" and i guess that's is a good listing for his peak, also if in the end of XX century he did look more a flat 6'): Click Here
That pic was taken in 2000, so Sutherland was 65 years old and he didn't look taller than 6'1.5" ...you think that it's possible that DS had already lost 2.5" since he was young?
Same topyc for Clint Eastwood...they were both 6'3" at peak...being generous 6'3.25" IMO.

I think Kennedy was a strong 6ft4. He could look 194cm at times.
Eastwood could have been 6ft4 but most likely dropped slightly below it in the evening.

Eastwood and Kennedy were the same height in Eiger sanction. There is no doubt Kennedy was 1`93.
There was one scene i remember between the 2 in that film when they meet up with some Swedish rock climbers where clint looks at good 1 inch shorter than kennedy

There is a 6'4'' German guy in the Eiger Sanction and he looks taller than both Eastwood and Kennedy. Or at least a German guy who is given 6'4'' on the net, checked once but can't remember guy's name.

Eastwood edged out legit 6'4 Gregory Alcott in Eiger, there's a scene with them walking together. In Joe Kidd though Alcott edged out Clint. Both men were around 6'4", so was George Kennedy.

Haha, if George Kennedy was just 6'3" then James Coburn was no more than 6'1! And if anything Coburn could often pull off 189. Kennedy had an easy two inches on him in Charade.
