He can still look 6'1" range at times even today.

I read up earlier in this article that princess diana met clint eastwood at the fugetive premier in 1993 and before attending the premier after party with clint eastwood she joked about his height, and said roughly along the lines off "I will not have too look hard too find you since you will be the tallest man at the party"

I will have too upload the article sometime.

A strong 6'4 peak like 6'4.25 is fair. maybe not quite a proper 6'4.5.

6'4.25 (194cm) peak it is no more and no less.

And you claimed he was 6'2" peak at one point kid. You exaggerate in both directions kid.
James said on 2/Sep/11
looks a good 6'2 if clint eastwood was 6'1 in 08.

This was taken in 2008. Clint is a little nearer to the camera but no way is Kyle 6'4". 6'2" looks the max he could possibly be.

Kyle Eastwood Clint's son is also listed at 6'4" but he does not look it. Looks 6'2".

@James: I'm using the first two photos as reference. The third photo is a bit weird, especially with the lens being right on top of Sean Penn. If Robbins is 6'5"--which I believe him to be--Clint looks about 3" shorter to my eye, so I'm going to stick with roughly 6'2" at that time. Today, 6'1" for Clint.

Maybe more 6'1 1/2 in 2005?

Legend and that is why most people don't picture clint eastwood as a big 6'4 man because he was only briefly that height. esspecially th younger generation.

his film carrier only really properly took off in the late 1950's and even then people were not that familiar with him. he only became a househould name and very well known in 1964 when he did a fistul off dollars and became even better known when he did the good the bad and the ugly.

this could be hte reason why people see clint eastwood as being 6'2 or 6'3.
Legend said on 30/Aug/11
He peaked very briefly at 6'4. It went downhill pretty fast though and he now stands 5'11.5 range as he has lost an abnormal amount of height throughout the years.

@James: That clip you posted is from 1978's EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. No, that's not George Kennedy.

As for 2005, yes: roughly 6'2". He was about the same, or just a fraction shorter than Morgan Freeman. But if we differ on that, we differ.

Well he dosen't look it with tim robbins

looks too the same height as kennedy though.

in the clip i uploaded of clint eastwood in that film i estimate eastwood would have been 6'3 by that stage.

I suport james in the fact that clint was at one time a broad guy(when he workout enought) first let see one interesthing video:
Click Here
that is charlton heston at 1:22, charlton hesto was neither skinny nor small, in fact heston was legendary for his heroic build with massive chest and shoulders, wich are very noticeable in the planet of the apes were he is nearly the full movie shirtless and easily looking like twice as broad as the whole cast:
Click Here
the ground i awful, wich makes hesto look like he is the same height as roddy mcdowall, but just looking at heston proporcions and build make one realize that the guy was huge. Look the video, clint nearly mach heston in muscular level, and he looks abaut 1 to 1.5 inch taller, heston at the lowest that i imagine him is at 6ft 2.5 maybe more like 6ft 2.75, and the higest at 6ft 3.25, in fact there are alot of curius shots of heston and george kennedy, a guy who cant be argue that he was anything less than 6ft 4
Click Here
heston and kennedy are walking side by side in airport and they look nearly matched in size.
Click Here
in this shot from earthquake he and kennedy are nearly the same in height(kennedy with a edge in heston by maybe an 1, skip to 9:20 to see it)
clint shows the same height diference between george and heston, george is a legit 6ft 4 or at last he was that height for a very long time and he dont drop that height until very recent times, but in the 70s he was still a trong 6ft4, and it shows in how little heigh diference there is between him and heston( a guy who i belive was 6ft 3), the central point in this is george kennedy, a guy who was build like john wayne(they boot have alot of phisical similaritys and oddly they both used to be football players), they boot show th same height diference from heston, the only thing that dont match is clint body who is
complety diferen of the 2 who are big and broad.
Click Here
that last clip is from lightfoot and thunderbolt, clint fights george kennedy and they are match in height but they look complety the opositive in body tipes.

@James: You're correct about Eastwood in BLOOD WORK. He looked to be about 6'2" in that film, and he looked to be about 6'2" a few years later in MILLION DOLLAR BABY. For his last acting gig--to date--in GRAN TORINO, he looked just a bit under 6'2". Today, about 6'1" for an 81 year old Eastwood.

Eastwood was unique in the sense that he played tough guys that carried these layers of emotional baggage--his characters either suffer a terrible loss, or they are plagued by guilt and placed into a situation where they are given a chance to redeem themselves. No doubt--his characters are tough, and self-reliant. Also, they have a sense of right from wrong--they will play dirty if necessary, but they never go out of their way to hurt innocents, and I've always liked that about the Eastwood persona. I disagree completely with the idea of John Wayne playing Harry Callahan. First of all, Wayne was too old for the role--never mind the fact that the original Harry Callahan was meant to be a man in his late 50/early 60s. Second, Clint brought that emotional complexity to the Harry Callahan character and made him a real person--not some unrealistic, cartoonish, invincible Superman. You'll see this especially in the first film when he speaks to Chico Gonzalez' (Reni Santoni) wife about how he lost his wife to a drunk driver and how Chico ought to quit the force as it's no life for them--a young and in love married couple. The sadness that Clint projects from behind those Ray Ban Baloramas is complete--and a testament to his ability as an actor. So, no--Clint Eastwood IS Harry Callahan, and nobody else could have done it better.

As a young man, there's no doubt Eastwood was tall, and 6'4" sounds right for him. Not 6'4 1/2" or 6'5"--just plain ol' flat 6'4" for most of the day. In fact, his body type back then reminds me of Liam Neeson--himself a 6'4" man. Just look at his work in the '60s: he has strong 6'2" Lee Van Cleef by a inch and some change; likewise, in the '70s, he looked exactly the same height as George Kennedy and Gregory Walcott, both of whom were 6'4" as well. By '92, he looked to be a strong 6'3"--he was noticeably taller than legit 6'2" actors Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman in UNFORGIVEN. By 2005, he looked to be hovering around 6'2"--about the same or just a hair shorter than Freeman. Today, he looks to be about 6'1".

Clint looks skinny on James photos. And nowhere near 6'5. He doesn't give me impression of a big guy like Jared Padalecki or Adam Baldwin does

Could pass for 6'5 in the photos i posted. i don't think clint eastwood is 6'5 by the way.

Clint Eastwood and Steven Seagal were probably the same height.

adam2 says on 27/Aug/11
James, you are delusional. Six foot five is for people like Steven Seagal and Tim Robbins.

Im now watching Machete. Seagal, at the age of 57 and about 300lbs still looks huge. In his opening scene he looks much more towering than Eastwood ever did. And he is also listed at 6-4. To me it is obvious that Seagal in his prime was at least an inch taller than Eastwood. And Seagal is listed as 6-4. He could be more.

Tim Robbins looked huge in Shawshank Redemption. MUCH more taller than Clinton ever did. And he is supposedly "only" 6-4½. He looks about two inches taller than Clint ever did.

6-4 I can buy. 6-5 is ridiculous. Mike and Terryman, I agree with you.

Seagal was never a proper 6'5. Robbins is virtually around the 6'5 mark and at least 194cm. Difference is Seagal and Robbins have much better posture than eastwood because there proud of being so tall.

...ok, took a break, but nothing new to sway me one way or the other. I'm 6 even, and can see over the top of the head of someone 5'7. So, if Eastwood was 6'4...for most of the time and not just out of bed, his eyes would be over anyone 5'11. I do not see that tall a man in him, ever. He's tall, but not 6'4 tall. Over 6'4 is ludicrous. I don't know why, because I've been an Eastwood fan for decades. But the more I watch other tough guy movies, like John Wayne ones or The Rifleman TV series, the less I care for the type of character Eastwood always played. I still like his movies, but, like Mike said, there's a certain degree of character missing from his characters. Just my opinion.
James said on 27/Aug/11
Nonsense Clint Eastwood was a very big guy (not in terms of broadness) vertically.

Anything over 6'3 is very big. At 6'4 you can look massive if you have an impsosing build. if your fat at 6'3 1/2 or 6'4 you will look really big but not massive.

anything less than 6'4 for clint eastwood is out off the quesiton
Mike said on 26/Aug/11
...Not 6'2 barefoot, but not a full 6'4, either, unless right out of bed. Again, 6'3.5. As an aside, I read John Wayne was considered for Dirty Harry, but turned it down. I never thought I'd say this, even though I like Wayne and have liked Eastwood movies, but I wish Wayne had done it. Maybe not with that 70's toupee, but his 1960 one, and he'd have brought a certain degree of character to the role, that Eastwood did not. Back to Eastwood's height; Anyone who's ever met any stars in person, knows that 90% of them are not qute as tall or big as they look on screen. That aside, all the comparisons to other actors (Soul was never 6'1) show Eastwood to be tall, but not big, big guy tall. 6'4 P-E-A-K....barely scraping.

he looks 6'4-6'5 range too me in these photos.

6'5 or maybe more in the morning depending on if he lost more than average in height during the day?

he would have been considered a borderline giant back in his day.
James said on 26/Aug/11
just look how tall he looks in these photos from the 1950's.


too me he looks like a guy who is a strong 6'4 in these pics. 6'5 is always up for debate even though its more likely he was 6'4 1/2. so probably nothing over 194cm in his prime.

6'4.5 peak could be on the money.

In 77 he was 6'3.
thebad7 said on 26/Aug/11
@AZMink: Right. Eastwood at 6'2" barefoot in his younger days? That's as good as the tripe you posted on John Wayne's page about The Duke being 6'1" barefoot. You must be trolling.

In '77 when Eastwood did THE GAUNTLET, he was more muscular than what he was ten years earlier, but he still had that lanky look. He was still about 6'4" at the time.

Rob, why do people lose height as they age..I've heard of old people losing 1inch but 3inches? Why does that happen..and can one prevent it? I mean Eastwood is a very healthy man?
Editor Rob
bone loss, spine discs deterioration.
James said on 25/Aug/11
A 1973 clint eastwood would have been identical in height too guys like jeff goldblum and liam neeson. he would have been only a fraction shorter than guys like tim robbins and vince vaughn. difference is guys like vince and tim hold good posture and have a different build.

at peak only 1-2cm shorter than tim robbins and 2-3cm shorter than vince vaughn.

In the pics with hackman by that time would have already a good 1 inch in height in height for sure.

Legit very tall man in his day.

Well, all this really sounds good, but not to burst your bubble, I was working in Phoenix across the street from where he was filming Gauntlet, he knocked me over and picked up my books and said I'm sorry. The guy is not over 6'2" in tennis shoes. I have seen him 7 times at the Monterey Jazz Festiful as well. The all say they are teller than they are.

OK Eastwood 6'2", Donald Sutherland 6'1.5" and Sean Connery 5'11.5" then. And I highly doubt you'd travel from Phoenix to Monterey seven times and have bumped into him that many times.

He was a strong 6'3.
Looked always taller than legit 6'2 Gene Hackman in the pics posted by James, he was 63y at that time so he might have still losed a small fraction.

6'3.5 at peak isn't out of question, he was a very tall man indeed, he towered over pretty much everyone in his old movies, but I don't buy the full 6'4.
He looked even taller than 6'3.5 because of his lanky frame, I have his same build so I know what I'm talking about.

6'3.5 peak
6'0.5 now
adam2 said on 24/Aug/11
Chuck Connors had about half a foot on Garner. Garner was about 6-1 and maybe some change prime. Clinton at the age of 65 was a couple of inches shorter than Seagal.

In The Dollar flicks he was pretty much even with Lee Van Cleef. Maybe an inch taller, I cant remember any signicant difference. In Escape From Alcatraz Clinton was the same height as the 6-3 listed Wolf.

Clinton was clearly a tall tall man in his prime. At least six foot three and probably an inch or so more. But forget James that dumb praise talk. This man is a colossal egotist and a lousy @@shole.
Mike said on 23/Aug/11
I've seen that Eastwood/Garner footage, before. No good comparisan shots. And, like others here, I think Garner was 6'1 to 6'1.5...and that's based on his 1960's movies. In the above-mentioned clip, Eastwood may edge out garner, but looks like a twig.
James said on 23/Aug/11
he shrunk a good 1 inch in his mid too late 40's. then lost half an inch in 1994.
James said on 23/Aug/11
Shaun says on 23/Aug/11
James, and I'm sure Rob can vouch for this is is rare to lose any height at all under the age of 50. A few mm is possible in your forties but Eastwood seriously did not begin to lose height until his early fifties. I mean he was still a strong 6'3" even ten years later.

well clint eastwoods height loss is remarkable so its very much possible that he started shrinking in his 40's. he did manage too hang on too 6'3 range for almost 20 years.
Shaun said on 23/Aug/11

Even accounting for hair I think Clint looks minimum 1.5" inches taller than Hackman who I suspect was 6'1.5" at that time from a peak 6'2".

in the early 90's i presume gene hackman was in his early 60's. so would have been 187cm by that time right?

adam 2 says on 20/Aug/11 James, give it up. Theres no need to go to the big five section with Clinton. That goes for guys like Vince Vaughn, Christopher Lee and Tim Robbins. In 1967 (or so) article Clint was described as "lanky six foot three" or so. Yes, he was most likely taller by about an inch but lets leave it there. A lean, long-limbed 6-3½ - 6-4 guy can easily give an illusion of a much taller man. Have you seen him with david soul in the video i posted? And so what if he was described as 6'3. If I recall Vince Vaugh was described as 6'3 once as well.

Closer too 6'5 than 6'3 peak. And NO i don't mean he was 'litterally' 6'5 becasue he probably was not but you get the picture? Defenintly 6'5 in the morning in his younger days. 6'4 morning in 1988.

Sorry shaun but he was a strong 6'4 throughout the 50's 60's and early 70's and then his ostreoporis kinda started in 1974 or 1975 where he shrunk down too 6'3 range. his height loss did begin in the early too mid 70's. In thunderbolt and lightfoot his posture was very bad but there is a chance eastwood might have dipped down from 193cm too 194cm by the time off that movie. He was a 6'4 range for only 2-3 decades really. can i point out as well that after 35 you start too kinda lose bone mass and its all downhill from there. 35 is when you reach your peak off bone mass. hence why clint eastwood looked at his peak off fitness and strength in the good the bad and the ugly and for a few dollars more. clint eastwood was obviously quite prone too ostreoporis so its not unreasnable at all the idea off him losing height in his mid 40's In the enforcer possibly 6'3 1/2 (192cm) on the nose. In Sudden Impact and Deadpool 6'3.25 (191-192cm). Overall at his peak he was a 194cm guy who could look no higher than 190cm because off posture and proportions. Stand a peak liam neeson and clint eastwood next too each other and i assure you they would been identical in height. when you see clint eastwood next too neeson in deadpool that gives you a good idea off how much height he already lost by 1988.
Mike said on 19/Aug/11
Jmaes Garner, though I love him in most things, is not a good judge of height, regarding Eastwood. Garner claimed, on the Tonight Show, he used to be 6'4, but was down to 6'2 or less, in the 70's. If he was 6'4, then not only did he only work with giants, but Carson had to have been 6'2, which is crazy. Garner and Carson were shown together many times, particularly on a Laugh-In installment, and Garner looked maybe an inch and a half or two inches taller than the 5'10 to 5'11 Carson. Back to Garner, he's a good 3 to 4 inches shorter than 6'5 Chuck Connors in Move Over Darling (1963), and a good 3 to 4 inches shorter than Tom Selleck in Rockford Files. No way he was ever 6'4, and clearly not a good judge of height,as truly is the case with most people. When I see my reflection outside of a store window, I look really bulky and muscular. Once inside, say in a mirror, it's like I lose 30 pounds. Lighting, being on film, etc, all twist things around a bit. I wish we could all go back in time and go up to Eastwood and just measure the guy barefoot. Solve alot of trivial problems.

Shaun says on 19/Aug/11 James says on 17/Aug/11 He fell down from 193-194cm too 191-192cm between 1973-1977. Would u guys not agree that clint looked broad and muscular in the good the bad and the ugly? In a fistful of dollars still looked quite skinny and lanky. he was probably 6'4 flat if not a fraction more in his prime. 191cm in 1979? Sorry James you're wrong. See him next to the door frame in the Sudden Impact in 1983. Was a STRONG 6'3" in the early 80s 6'3.5" possible. Hell he even looked 6'3"-6'3.5" in 1988. I really do not think he dipped under 6'4" until his early 50s. 1980-1982 period. I think he was the full 6'4" throughout the entire 50s, 60s and 70s. In 79 6'3.25 (191cm) which is pushing 192cm.

Thats what you keep saying, James. But theres no proof for 6-4½ other than that he was taller than Donald Sutherland who was by the way about two inches shorter than Jeff Goldblum and who looked about 6-3 most of his career. 6-5: Robbins, Vaughn, Hudson, Hayden 6-4½: Goldblum, Seagal, Neeson, O`Brien 6-4: Eastwood, Baldwin, Ryan

Legend and Adam2 have it as close to reality as you'll get. Regarding my confusing things, I'm sorry, but I've confused nothing. Today, I saw a guy outside, sun on him, and his arms looked super muscular. Once in the store and up close, he didn't look nearly as big, or muscular. Outdoor lighting and being on film add size and make muscle stand out, as was the case with Eastwood in alot of his bare arms scenes. I bulked up to 205 (around 6 feet), benching 275, last year, and a pic my wife took of me outside made me look like I was this huge, stocky guy, around 250. I don't dispute Eastwood's muscle or strength, but even in High Plains Drifter, he looked skinny as a rail, with or without a coat on, shoulders included. Alot of guys I know claim 6 feet. Some are taller than me, some are shorter. It's the same with 6'4. Eastwood was a weak 6'4, effected by hair and maybe a body stretched out by a night's sleep. Generally 6'3 to 6'3.5, in the day. If you want to dispute all the 70's and 80's move magazines that I read that said weight 190, no sweat. But, those claims ar as legit as anything else in print. Look up what a skinny guy of 6'3 to 6'4 should weigh, with no body fat, and toss in a few pounds for muscle, depending on time of career.
James said on 17/Aug/11
He fell down from 193-194cm too 191-192cm between 1973-1977. Would u guys not agree that clint looked broad and muscular in the good the bad and the ugly? In a fistful of dollars still looked quite skinny and lanky. he was probably 6'4 flat if not a fraction more in his prime.
Legend said on 17/Aug/11
He was 6'4 flat peak. But his peak ended quickly and he has lost a lot of height. He was 6'3 for most of his career as a result and is about 5'11.5 now days.
EdgarHernandez said on 17/Aug/11
Mike, you are confusing things, first, muscle is havier and ocupes less espace than fat, for example, my father is for all person who know him a slim guy, wears 34 waist pants(and some times that is to big for him) and weights 178 pounds. Lets see, acording to what i search clint peaked in weight in every wich you can but lose, in this clip he ended shirtless and looking the broadest that i have ever see him, also he looks pretty tall(6ft 3.5 i am stimate): Click Here have little to no fat, the only thing that he dont got is abs but for any other thing he looks ripped. Know the duke, is listend as 225 at his peak(i think when he was a star football player) and during big part of his carer, before he gained to much weight. The reason is that most people asume big weight eaquals being fat or being arnold huge, wich is not the case, because alot of persons have to deal with small bone structure, just compare their phics in their very very yount: clint eastwood: Click Here this is john wayne in his very yount: Click Here you can see, clint is proportioned very diferent from John wayne, clint have very long legs(wich have avoid to him for the moment to drop below his actual height) while john wayne have proportional legs, also clint have a very small bone structure, so for him to look the way he looks he need to work hard to put muscle over him, while john wayne just have to exersice once a while and keep his weight low. John wayne no matter the weight or the time always have a very big bone structure wich could have been a big part of his weight, clint is one of the perfects example of an extomorph who work hard to get his mucles, john wayne is an mesomorph who gained weight for age and normal self idulgence. If you want to put a kinny example of a tall guy go with jimmy stewart who have one of the scrawniest bodies i ever seen, he even was aware of this: Click Here

Eastwood had a sinewy, lanky build--this is especially evident in the '50s & '60s--as a Universal contract player, then through his first success with RAWHIDE, and on to his breakouts in the Dollars Films. Even in the early '70s, Clint retained that lanky look. To my eye, it wasn't until about the mid 1970s that Clint really started to bulk up--you can see it in his arms, chest, and shoulders. I think he really got serious about heavy weight training at this time--though he'd been doing weight training for years; there are pictures of him in the '50s working with archaic cable machines available on the Internet. If you look at him in 1975's THE EIGER SANCTION, the two "Clyde" films from 1978 and 1980, and 1979's ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, there is a noticeable, marked difference in him then compared to the beginning of that decade--by the end of the '70s he had a thicker build. This continued well into the 1980s and 1990s. Just last night HEARTBREAK RIDGE was on Encore, and last week, 1990's THE ROOKIE--he was lean, but noticeably muscular in those films. For a man then in his late 50s/early 60s, Clint was in terrific shape, and even today at 81, he's still looking very good. @Shaun: You're spot on with your comment on Clint's body weight. I can buy Clint at 190 - 200 lbs. circa 1967 and THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. Fast forward ten years to 1977, I can see Clint at 210 - 220 lbs. and very convincingly on a (then) 6'4" frame. And yes--muscle weighs more than fat. tb7
James said on 17/Aug/11
In Hearbreak Ridge and the Deadpool robbins would have been 1-1.5 inches taller than clint eastwood. you have too admit in the good, the ugly and the ugly clint eastwood looked rather broad shouldered in that film. he defenintly quite big but then again i think his clothing might have made him look bigger?
adam2 said on 17/Aug/11
Clinton never weighed 225lbs. That is rubbish. He has narrowish shoulders and zero fat. He was about 6-3½ of sinew. In Playboy Interview 1973 he is described as 6-4 and 197 lbs which certainly sounds bang on. He was never over 6-4. Nor did he have huge shoulders. Nor did he weigh well over 200 lbs. John Wayne was often listed as 6-4 and 225lbs and he looked FAR more bigger and broader than Clinton.
jervis said on 16/Aug/11
I dont think Everett Mcgill was 6ft5 i find it hard to belive that Mcgill was the same hight as John Cleese and Tim Robbins.Clint was the same hight as him in Heart Break Ridge,but if you look at Clint with Robbins its hard to belive that if you put the current hight Clint next to the Clint in 1985 there would be such a big hight difference of up to 4 inches.If you watch the film White Hunter Black Hart i think its from 1990,there is an english actor called Clive Mantel in it,he is listed as 6ft5 and a half and has at least 3 inches on Clint,he also towers Jeff Fathy who is listed at 6ft by a lot more than Clint in that film.Clint in the film aged 60 looks about 6ft2 and a half max.3 inches on Burt in City Heat 4 inches on Sheen in the Rookie.I also notice with Clint he looks a very tall man on his own in sceans and you expect him to tower average hight actors such as Sheen but he never seems to look 6 or 7 inches taller as he should he only looks 4 or 5 inches,not convincing as 6ft4 to me.As for Wolcott and Kennedy 6ft3 max for both.Kennedy in Bonanza with Blocker same hight, Blocker 3 inches shorter than Clint Walker in photo i saw on this sight befor.Kennedy 1 inch taller than 6ft2 Lee Van Cleef in clip i saw on this sight when they were face to face.This also leaves the chance that Clint was 6ft2 and a half peak because he could have been half an inch shorter than both Wolcott and Kennedy.So Clint has lost about 1 or 1 and ahalf inches from his peak is now 6ft1ish and can look shorter or taller depending on posture it makes a lot more sence than a loss of 4inches.
James said on 16/Aug/11
He was a 6'4.25 (194cm) ectomorph. He's no dolph lundgren or Hugh Jackman in terms of muscle.
Shaun said on 16/Aug/11
Sorry Mike but you are underestimating how much muscle weighs. A guy who is as high as 6 ft 4 inches with broad shoulders and muscle tone will easily weigh 210. OK, Eastwood didn't have an ounce of fat on him but muscle weighs more than fat. I personally would have estimated him 200-210.
Mike said on 15/Aug/11
... I was a firm believer in 6'4 for Eastwood, up until like a year ago (in his prime). But, seriously, based on many comments here, I believe there is a "desire" for Eastwood to be at least 6'4, if not impossibly taller. Terry; You can't look at one scene to compare heights. You have to look at as many scenes as possible, with the same two actors, and from as many movies as possible. In both Joe Kidd and The Eiger Sanction, Wolcott is generally bigger and slightly taller looking than Eastwood. As for Eastwood's weight, Eastwood at 215 in '73 is absurd. I doubt he weighed 200, soaking wet. I always read 190, long before the internet. Others can go with numbers they find, but I go with 190 average, "maybe" 200 to 210 peak. Not a pound more. Hardly a rail? Are we watching the same movies?

His awful posture can be seen in Alcatraz where the bend in his spine is obvious, both forwards & to the side. No wonder he has lost 2-3 inches in height!

THe Eiger Sanction was, indeed, on the other day (on demand). That guy, last name Wolcott...he's listed as 6'4, and was clearly taller than Eastwood, just like he was in Joe Kidd. If we're going to go by heights listed on another site, which for whatever reason have now been limited in terms of being mentioned, and Wolcott was 6'4, Eastwood was under that by at least half an inch. Also, to look skinny..not thin, but skinny on film, do you know how thin you have to be in real life? Eastwood must have been and still be a rail.

Eastwood reportedly weighed 225 pounds in Every which way but loose and 216 pounds in 1973. Sorry I would hardly call that rail thin. His skinny legs and chiselled jawline may have given you that impression but if you actually see his physique in say High Plains Drifter in the bathtub he has surprisingly broad shoulders and muscle tone. Of course he is naturally an ecto and slender built but he had more muscle and broadness than you give him credit for. And at 6 ft 4 215 is fair, much like it was with Christopher Reeve, still slender muscle tone. A rail thin is Peter Crouch who is pushing 6 ft 8 and 170 pounds.

I think Clint Eastwodo had too work hard for his muscle. Hugh Jackman is similar in appearene tooo Clint Eastwod except he can build way easier. Don't think it has much too do with the fact he was 2 inches shorter than eastwood.

Hugh Jackman is a more mesomorphic of a young clint eastwood.

No less than 191-192cm range in Heartbreak Ridge and would have probably had nearly 1 inch on Everett McGill.

In Deadpool still 191-192cm range since he was 1 inch shorter than 194cm Neeson. Giving off a 188-189cm illusion with his arched back. his spine must have been a wreck by the time of Deadpool.

i think he may have been 194cm at his peak appearing shorter like 6'3 cause of his proportions and posture. Possibly 194cm up untill 1974 or 1975.

Only 1 inch shorter than Neeson who was a strong 6'4 back then so he was still 6'3 in 1988 and was that height up untill 1994.

James, Patricia Clarkson who appeared opposite Eastwood in the Dead Pool looked about a foot shorter than him right. She's listed on i m d b as 5'5". I think its BS. I estimate her at 5'3". No way is she 5'5", see the scene when she walks into the room and mention the charges against Callaghan. 5'2"-5'3" range. Eastwood looked a solid 6'3" I thought, 6'3"-6'3.5" compared to a 6'4.25 Neeson

AHe was the same hight as Evrett Magill in heart break ridge,and Magill is listed as 6ft2 and a half,that was in 1985 when he was 55 years old.To me he looked about max 6ft3 now about 6ft1.I also heard of George Kennedy listed at 6ft3 that would account for Clint and him looking the same hight.Also I never saw any clear clips of Clint and Sutherland in Kellys Heros to show Clint to be slightly taller,but i did see Space Cowboys and 65 year old Sutherland looked a good inch taller than 69 year old Eastwood,piticularly in the seen were they were all bear foot having a medcial.To me he looks to have lost too much hight if he was 6ft4 peak.I think the last film he was in were you can see he real peak hight was Dead Pool with Neeson in witch he looked about 1 inch shorter than 6ft4 Neeson when he was 58 years old.I think that was what height he was in his youth 6ft3.

If you think about it Donald Sutherland being 2 inches than 188-189cm Sean Connery would put Sutherland at 6'4.25 (194cm) and clint eastwood having an edge on Sutherland in Kellys Hearoes would mean Eastwood 6'4.75 (195cm) for clint eastwood.


this would be the case IF Connery was still 6'2.25 (189cm) in 1979 which he may have not been? I have a hard time seeing clint eastwood as being 195cm though. If Connery was not over 188cm in the late 70's and if sutherland was not over 193cm that would still put eastwood at 194cm.

well remember mike even though his hair was high with David Soul clint eastwood stood with a bit of a stoop next too him.

i think he was 6'4 guy that might have carried himself around at 6'3 with bad slouching posture. Tim Robbins is a 6'4-6'5 guy who is proud off being very tall and has a lot of confidence hence why he can pull off looking taller just by the way he carries himself.

6'4 guys like liam neeson and clint eastwood walk around at 6'3 because there not so secure or confident about there height. as for jeff goldblum he does not really slouch but i don't really think jeff is as tall as 194cm.
James said on 5/Aug/11
remember he was only 1 or 1.5 inches shorter than 193-194cm liam neeson in the deadpool. So either 6'3 or 6'3.5 in that film.
Mike said on 5/Aug/11
...Truthman has it better than most. More and more, and after looking at all posted photos and many not on this site, I just don't go for a 6'4 Eastwood, despite the desire, for some, to have him that height..or taller. 6'3 makes much more sense, and explains not only his height..relative to other actors, but how he could be the height he is, today. A 6'3 guy in his 40's could be measured within a few minutes of getting out of bed, or right after lounging on something like a recliner, on a movie set, and be up to an inch taller. "I'M" an inch taller in the morning. So, yeah, I'm sure at some point, Eastwood could claim 6'4. But, on average, 6'3 makes much more sense. He's super skinny. Makes him look taller, on film. Kennedy's shoulders were much higher than Eastwoods, as were Wolcott's. And I love how there is such certainty that other actors listed heights are actual, when using them to make a judgement about Eastwoods height.

the thought of eastwood wearing lifts is laughable.I read in a biography about him that he was insecure about his height when he was young hence the slouching to try and look shorter.And if you look at him when he stands still he always leans his weight on one leg again making him appear shorter and adding to his bad posture.

Two points to keep in mind about Eastwood today:

1. The man is 81 years old: at peak, he was 6'4", and he used to tower over just about everyone in Hollywood. He held his own against tall actors like George Kennedy and Lee Van Cleef early in his career; and Liam Neeson, Kevin Cosnter and Morgan Freeman later in his career. Today, Eastwood looks at the most to be around 6'1" - 6'1 1/2". I just saw some photos recently of Eastwood together with Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier. Freeman and Poitier look to be around 6'2" today, and Eastwood looks just a bit shorter than them--perhaps a difference of 0.5" - 1". I believe the men had similar footwear (dress shoes to complement tuxedos/suits).

2. I've seen a good many recent photos of him (2007-present) and in many of these photos, he is pictured with people like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, etc. The common denominator between those three is that they are all under six feet tall, and it seems that they like elevator shoes, platforms, etc. If these actors--all of whom are in the 5'10" - 5'11" range--are wearing shoes that give them 2" or 3", then they're going to look even with non-peak Eastwood.

I don't believe that Clint Eastwood ever wore lifts in his career, and I don't think that he would start now. Even now as an older man, he's still a tall guy.

@Danimal: Wrong. He did not start losing height until the early 1990s when he was in his early 60s. Having looked at recent photos of him with Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier, 6'1" is about right for him--he does stack closely to Freeman and Poitier. 6'0" flat today? Try again. He's lost height but he's not six flat.

thebad7 on Clint Eastwood
Some people had mentioned Reni Santoni from DIRTY HARRY, and that's something that I'm curious about, too. Personally, I think that Santoni was more 6'1" than he was 6'0" flat. In '71 for DH, Eastwood was still at 6'4".

@James: I really wonder why you post so incessantly here on Eastwood's thread. As I recall, you don't even like the man as an actor: you're a Harrison Ford fan, aren't you? Also, the sudden switch from peak 6'2" Eastwood to 6'4"+ peak Eastwood is bewildering. Eastwood as a young man and at his peak stood 6'4" flat. He didn't start to lose height until the early 1990s--about 1992, after UNFORGIVEN was completed. He looked 6'3" throughout the '90s, and it was about the time of MILLION DOLLAR BABY in late 2004/early 2005 that he looked about 6'2". Today, at age 81, I'd say he's between 6'1" and 6'2" depending on time of day.

This isn't accurate. Eastwood began losing height much earlier than the 1990's and he is not between 6'1" and 6'2" today. He's barely a flat 6'0" today.

Theres absolutely no evidance of santoni being 183cm,the guys hardly famous so his height is just as debatable as anyones,you cant trust what a certain other unreliable website says as being correct,more likelt Santoni was 185cm,while Clint poor posture meant he was 190/191cm. Clint-1960s,good posture-6'4 flat,1970s normal,poor posture-6'3,also imo Eastwood was exactly the same height as Freeman(189cm) in '92 Unforgiven,having watched the film at not one point is there an accurate angle in the film of them standing together,from what we do see they look a similar height,about 6'2.5.

i m d b once had Matt Damon at 6', Vin Diesel at 6'4", Tom Cruise at 5'5" and Everett McGill at 6'5". If

i guess if David Soul was only 6'0.5 184cm peak then that would mean clint eastwood was no more than 6'4 (193cm) in comparison not 6'4.5 (194cm). 6'4.25 not impossible though?
James said on 31/Jul/11
David Souls peak height has been downgraded too 184cm now........ i guess the 'strong' 6'4 for Clint Eastwood is starting too seem a bit more improbable but still in Magnum Force maybe it could have been that clint eastwood had dodgy posture.

I think there is still a chance that david soul was 6'1 as well.

...may I please see the indisputable proff that David Soul was or is 6'1, since he seems to be who Eastwood is comapred against, so often? I wish I'd saved ever teen mag I had as a kid (for pictures of Kristy McNichol), which said, repeatedly, Soul was 5'11. He wore HUGE heels on Starsky and Hutch. I do not see a 6'1 guy in him. Just thin and average.

Well it doesnt matter how he got to 6'1,could have been 5ft in stilts to be 6'1,Eastwood was still 3 inches taller than a 6'1 figure-lifts or not.
Gus said on 30/Jul/11
Look at The moment Al wins the oscar in the crowd Clint is,along from him is tim robbins,robbins looks about 2 inches taller roughly...this is '93 I think...its between 1 minute 35 and 1 minute 40...

In Dirty Harry
Clint Eastwood 6'4.25 (194cm) Reni Santoni 6'1.5 (187cm)

Unforgiven
Clint Eastwood 6'3.5 (192cm)
Morgan Freeman 6'2.5 (189cm)?
James said on 29/Jul/11
higher chance clint eastwood was 194cm than 192cm. Between 6'5-6'6 straight out of bed in his prime after 9 hours sleep lying on his back. Probably lost more height than average throughout the day like 3 or 4cm because he was a legit very tall man and had bad posture. might have measured 193cm before bed at his peak? At his peak if clint eastwood got under 7 hours sleep would probably not meaure over 6'5 out of bed.
Gus said on 29/Jul/11
Theres absolutely no evidance of santoni being 183cm,the guys hardly famous so his height is just as debatable as anyones,you cant trust what a certain other unreliable website says as being correct,more likelt Santoni was 185cm,while Clint poor posture meant he was 190/191cm. Clint-1960s,good posture-6'4 flat,1970s normal,poor posture-6'3,also imo Eastwood was exactly the same height as Freeman(189cm) in '92 Unforgiven,having watched the film at not one point is there an accurate angle in the film of them standing together,from what we do see they look a similar height,about 6'2.5.

P.S.--You are spot on with Hudson's height. Rock Hudson was a straight-up 6'5".
James said on 28/Jul/11
Clint Eastwood started losing height in the 1970's actually where he shrunk from a legit 6'4 too 6'3 just like Dolph Lundgren. was 6'3 up untill 1994 or 1995 when he started shrinking again. By 1998 no more than 6'2 probably.

I did orginally say clint eastwood was 6'2 flat but then i thought he was more than that after seeing more evidence like him being minimum 3 inches taller than david soul.

Hudson 6'5. Clint Eastwood 6'4-6'4 1/2.
adam 2 said on 28/Jul/11
Hudson was about 6-5 and 225 peak. Eastwood 6-3½-6-4 and 210.
thebad7 said on 28/Jul/11
Some people had mentioned Reni Santoni from DIRTY HARRY, and that's something that I'm curious about, too. Personally, I think that Santoni was more 6'1" than he was 6'0" flat. In '71 for DH, Eastwood was still at 6'4".

@James: I really wonder why you post so incessantly here on Eastwood's thread. As I recall, you don't even like the man as an actor: you're a Harrison Ford fan, aren't you? Also, the sudden switch from peak 6'2" Eastwood to 6'4"+ peak Eastwood is bewildering. Eastwood as a young man and at his peak stood 6'4" flat. He didn't start to lose height until the early 1990s--about 1992, after UNFORGIVEN was completed. He looked 6'3" throughout the '90s, and it was about the time of MILLION DOLLAR BABY in late 2004/early 2005 that he looked about 6'2". Today, at age 81, I'd say he's between 6'1" and 6'2" depending on time of day.

I think he was 6'3 (191cm) at peak, a very tall man for sure, he looked even above 6'4 because of his lanky frame.
Today he is 6'0.5-6'0.75.
But there's a possibility that he was really 6'4 when younger, we have to remember that very tall people seems to lose more height when they age.
James said on 28/Jul/11
he's a few inches taller than 6'2 Michael Caine in the photo.
MIke said on 27/Jul/11
..those photos of Eastwood at Wayne's party, and with Nemoy, are distorted. Look at Fred McMurray...he looks utterly tiny, but wasn't. And look how large Shatner looks, with his back to us, compared to Eastwood. With the right camera and camera angle, someone standing even 2 inches closer to the camera can look taller than they are, in the final photo. Hudson was a bit taller than Wayne. This photo suggests Eastwood may have been taller than Hudson. Insanity. He'd have been huge, and wasn't. Just a tall, skinny guy. 6'3.5, now much shorter
James said on 27/Jul/11
that photo of clint eastwood and lenord might have been taken in like the late 70's or early 80's when clint eastwood was 6'3 1/2 as opposed to 6'4 perhaps?
James said on 27/Jul/11
Yeah true Andrea. Neither are really standing at there tallest in the photo.

Still though Eastwood was 3-4 inches taller than David Soul. so 193 or 194cm seems on target for his peak.

Well next to 184 cm Lenord Nemoy, counting that clint is also closer to the camera, i see no more than 7 cms!

if Santoni was only 183cm then Clint Eastwood should have been 4-5 inches taller than him.
James said on 26/Jul/11
correction he would measure at 196 or 195cm in the morning at his peak. 193cm before bed at his peak.
James said on 26/Jul/11
Even though i hate to admit, it is true goldblum still looked 1 inch taller than sutherland even with bad postuer and a slouch in a photo i have just seen of them.
James said on 26/Jul/11
yep but 3-4 inches taller than david soul in magum foce. that would indicate that he might have a hair over 6'4.
Shaun said on 26/Jul/11
Compared to most he looked a legit 6'4". Looked that height next to George Kennedy, Don Stroud, Charlton Heston etc. I admit though he didn't look 3 or 4 inches taller than Santoni in Dirty Harry, more like 2 inches.

Gus James claimed that Clint Eastwood was 6-2.5 to 6-3 at best in his peak many times .

He did yes but then I think he really that actually he was underestimating him because he realised that 6'5" Rock Hudson was barely taller, he was the same height as George Kennedy and that he was even taller than Donald Sutherland who had two inches minimum on Sean Connery who at one point in the day measured 6'2" peak. SO I think that's where his 6'4.5" is coming from. I can imagine Eastwood measuring 194cm in the morning in his prime. Certainly 6'4" in my view, although 6'3.5" at some point in the day possible. I think Rob is right that you can argue both 192 and 194 cm for his peak. 6'4" is fair.
adam 2 said on 26/Jul/11
Eastwood was never OVER 6-4. So lets clear that one up.

Sutherland has been stated 6-3 before. In many a films he looks that height. He is a sloucher, remember that.

Lee Van Cleef was 6-2 prime. Eastwood had close to two inches on him. Eastwood was maybe slightly taller than Sutherland who himself was about two inches shorter than Goldblum.

Then there is the pic where Robbins has about half a foot on Clint....
James said on 25/Jul/11
i changed my mind because i saw more phots of clint eastwood with guys like Rock Hudson.

Also i saw magnum force and he looked quite a lot taller than david soul. that is why i changed my mind on 6'2-6'3 peak for clint eastwood.

Lillo I never said tht eastwood was 6'2-6'3 at best.

I did catch a bit of The Eiger Sanction on TV the other day and its clear that George Kennedy and he are the same height: 6'4". In a hotel lobby they are on even ground and were eyeball to eyeball and much taller than the other actors.

Ridiculous estimates. Robbins would be at least an inch taller.

And dont trust on one or two films. Yes Sutherland was two inches taller than Connery and Eastwood had a slight edge on Sutherland but remember THE OTHER films.

In DR TERRORS HOUSE OF HORRORS Sutherland is two inches shorter than Christopher Lee. In INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS Sutherland is clearly close to two inches shorter than Jeff Goldblum. In THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE Sutherland looks about 6-3. In THE DIRTY DOZEN Sutherland is about four inches shorter than 6-6 Clint Walker. etc etc....

Eastwood doesnt look anything over 6-4. Never.

Guys can i also point out that in Arlington Road Jeff Bridges might have been a fraction shorter than he was in thunderbolt and lightfoot so that is why he might have a appeared a little shorter next too robbins. so in 1974 bridges might have been 187cm and in 1999 186cm.

But yeah i would agree i think there is a chance a peak tim robbins would have had an edge on a peak clint eastwood. the difference may have even looked greater if clint eastwood had posture.

In 1974 by the time of thunderbolt and lightfoot clint eastwood might have started too dip just a tiny amount under 194cm or he could have still been 6'4.25 (194cm) by the time of that film or just 6'4 (193cm). his posture in that film was starting too get worse and you could kinda notice the arch in his back more.

Was 6'3.25 or 6'3.5 from 1977 up untill 1993 maybe?

Well what does it for me is,Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Numerous great shots,whole body shots,of Clint and Bridges,Jeff Bridges who I consider a sure thing 186cm guy,with poor posture Clint looked no more than a strong 6'2 next to him,but on 2/3 occasions where he does extend his back out,possibly has as much as 3 inches on Bridges-obviously backing the 6'4 theory..IMO if you measured Eastwood during fistfull of dollars time,midday with good posture-would have been a flat 6'4,trouble was his lazy back,often hung around the 191cm mark.

James where is the evidence he began losing height in the early 70s? He didn't really look any shorter until the early 80s. He looked a strong 6'3" in the late 80s next to Neeson. And as thebad says which I 100% agree with he still looked an easy 6'3" in Unforgiven. In In the line of Fire looked a solid 6'3" and looked this height next to Arnie around this time. I don't believe he dipped under 6'3" until 1994-1995 when he appeared to be more a strong 6'2" in Bridges of Madison County, I'd have guessed 6'2.5" around that time.

not early but mid to late 70's i think he lost just about 1 inch. Maybe 6'3.75 (192cm) or 6'4 (193cm) in the Enforcer and 6'4.25 or 6'4.5 in Magnum Force?

I think by 1977 was no taller than a strong 6'3 like 192cm. so between 1973-1975 dropped from 6'4.25 (194cm) to 6'4 (193cm) and from 1975-1977 dipped down more to 6'3.5 (192cm).

6'3.5 in Any Which Way You can and could have still been 6'3 1/2 in the Deadpool.

In the early 90's i think shrunk from 6'3.5 too 6'3 flat. so around 6'3 flat by the time of line of fire. he looked very similar in height to danny glover in 1992 as well.

i agree shaun he started to go under 6'3 in 1994 or 1995.

maybe i was being a bit hastey saying clint eastwood was only a flat 6'3 in the late 70's/early 80's so probably in 1977 and 1980 6'3 1/2 (192cm).

i think in the 70's shrunk from 6'4-6'5 too 6'3-6'4.

Not sure if he was as tall as 6'3 1/2 in the deadpool? In the Line of Fire probably was not over 6'3.

his height loss became an issue in the late 70's when he shrunk to 6'3.

No taller than 6'3 flat in the Deadpool as well. He also had at least 3 inches on David Soul so he was still at least 6'4 in Magnum Force.

throughout the 70's he lost a good 1 inch in height.
thebad7 said on 20/Jul/11
6'4" is correct for Eastwood as a young man. I don't believe height loss became an issue for him until around the time he did UNFORGIVEN in 1992.

Consider it from these perspectives:
1. The Dollars Films: As a young man (mid 30s), he starred alongside Western Legend Lee Van Cleef in the final two Dollars films. Van Cleef was a legitimate 6'2" and there are plenty of scenes in both FAFDM and GBU in which the two actors stand face-to-face with good posture. Eastwood had about 1.5"-2" on Van Cleef, pointing to 6'4" for Eastwood. Also note that both actors were wearing cowboy boots with similar heels (1"-1.5" heel).
2. MAGNUM FORCE: I always like to use this as a reference since it ought to put to bed any notions that Clint was shorter than 6'4" at peak. Clint holds his own against several 6'1"+ actors in this film: he has 6'2" actors Robert Urich and Tim Matheson by 2", and this with Urich and Matheson having footwear advantage (1" combat boots vs. flat-soled sneakers for Eastwood). Eastwood also has David Soul, Hal Holbrook, and Mitchell Ryan (all of whom are approx. 6'0"-6'1" tall) by 3".
3. THE DEAD POOL: There is a good scene in this film in which a then 58 year old Eastwood stands face-to-face with a young (early 30s) Liam Neeson. Neeson has Eastwood by a hair (hair = 1"). Assuming that Neeson is minimum 6'4", which he was, and some change to go along with it, Eastwood was at the bare minimum 6'3 1/2" tall.
4. UNFORGIVEN: Everybody is wearing cowboy boots with similar heels. Eastwood has 1"-1.5" on legit 6'2" actors Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman. Still 6'3"+ at this stage.
5. MILLION DOLLAR BABY: Standing next to Morgan Freeman, Eastwood looked about even, and in some shots, a bit shorter. 6'2" approximately at this point.

Also, Eastwood did several mid-70s pictures with legit 6'4" George Kennedy--a man who towered over practically everybody in Hollywood at that time--and in particular, in 1974's THUNDERBOLT & LIGHTFOOT, Eastwood looks to be the same height as Kennedy with no discernable difference between the two men.

Today, however, is a different story. Age catches up to everybody--even Hollywood legends. Eastwood is a great actor and a great director, and I love his films. I also admire that he's always been very health conscious, and he looks very good for an 81 year old man. At best, he's probably no taller than 6'1"-6'1 1/2" at the most today.

I met him in his pre-Dirty Harry days. I am 5'7" and I didn't come to his shoulder. He was definitely at least 6'4". And he had on golf shoes, not boots so it was all him. What really struck me however was how incredibly skinny he was.

Danimal I never said he was 6'5 but since very tall people loose more height during the day he could have measured at 6'5 out of bed or maybe 6'5.25.

A strong 6'4 he was NOT 6'5.

By the time of the Enfrocer he was between 6'3-6'4.
James said on 19/Jul/11
He was never a proper 6'5 but he might have been 194cm. I think at peak closer to 6'4 than 6'5 for sure. 6'3 with bad posture in his prime.
Shaun said on 19/Jul/11

If you look how high the top of his head is compared to everybody else and how high his head looks above the street in the following clip of The Enforcer to me he most certainly looks a solid 6'4". I can always tell the difference between a 6'2" guy and a 6'4" guy on screen .

And you used to have him at 6'2" and now he's 6'5" peak?
Mark said on 18/Jul/11
At 5 inches taller, you can just see over someone's head. Yeah, Eastwood was clearly a few inches over Guardino. But a true 6'4 guy would DWARF a 5'10-ish guy. That wasn't the case. I agree with myself when I say that Eastwood was probably 6'3 to 6'3.5 on an average day (after any extra bed height went away), and I agree with Mike when he says Eastwood "over" 6'4...at any point, barefoot, is just too hard to swallow. I'm 6 foot, and know 6'5 guys. Eastwood was never, ever 6'5. 99% of all of this is speculation. But I'd bet my life on that.
James said on 18/Jul/11
Funny how in Magnum Force and Dirty Harry Clint Eastwood might have been around 194cm and yet in those films he looked shorter than he did in the enforcer. by the time of the enforcer was starting too dip below 6'4.

He seemed a solid 6'3 in Escape Alcatraz and Any Which Way you Can and even in the line of fire still looked around the 6'3 mark.

Shaun I never said he looked 6'2.5 max in the Enforcer. I thought he actually looked around a flat 6'4 in that movie even though he might have been more like 6'3 1/2 by that stage.
James said on 18/Jul/11
By the time of the Enforcer probably was 192cm. he lost a good 1 inch of height throughout the 70's.

I also saw the Line of Fire last night and thought Clint Eastwood looked 6'3 (191cm) in that film. By 1995 he was 6'2 and change.

As I said the Connery vs Sutherland and Eastwood vs Sutherland is proof enough for me he was 6'4". I watched The Enforcer last night and I personally thought he looked like a legit 6'4". I know you've seen it James and said he looked 6'2.5" max but he did have 5 or 6 inches on 5'10" Harry Guardino.

We just seem to be going back and forth with the same posters, here, with an unreal trend among some towards suggesting Eastwood was even "taller" than 6'4, which, in itself is stretching it, to me. I'll be back on when some other opinions surface, perhaps with facts or photos to back them up. Eastwood was a tall skinny guy. But 6'3 to 6'3.5 is far more believable than bordering on 6'5. I don't know if some "want" him to have been that tall, or what. But that's no 6'5 guy walking around in the movies in the 60's and 70's. And shots with Eastwood and Rock Hudson are hardly in proportion, if that's cited as evidence to back up a taller Eastwood.

3-4 inches taller than 6'1 David Soul in Magnum Force, slightly taller than Donald Sutherland and for sure looked taller than 6'2 Lee Van Cleef. Could walk around shorter in his movies like 6'3 cause of his of his posture and proportions.

the guy has lost a remarkable amount of height from his peak cuase out of bed in 1973 could have measured a fraction over 6'5.

We just seem to be going back and forth with the same posters, here, with an unreal trend among some towards suggesting Eastwood was even "taller" than 6'4, which, in itself is stretching it, to me. I'll be back on when some other opinions surface, perhaps with facts or photos to back them up. Eastwood was a tall skinny guy. But 6'3 to 6'3.5 is far more believable than bordering on 6'5. I don't know if some "want" him to have been that tall, or what. But that's no 6'5 guy walking around in the movies in the 60's and 70's. And shots with Eastwood and Rock Hudson are hardly in proportion, if that's cited as evidence to back up a taller Eastwood.
James said on 15/Jul/11
I think clint was between 6'4-6'5 peak and started to loose height in the early to mid 70's.
Shaun said on 13/Jul/11
Eastwood was almost 12 lbs at birth. Usually babies born that weight end up being giant sized adults. Lots of the 7' basketball players are that sort of weight at birth
Gus said on 10/Jul/11
James never said Eastwood was 6'2,said he may have been 6'2.5 with bad posture,its obvious Clint wasnt 6'2,thats common sense,but definately not over 6'4,ive always thought 192cm with good posture myself.
Mike said on 9/Jul/11
Eastwood was not ever..ever, just under 6'5. Laughable.

James says on 6/Jul/11
Clint Eastwood 6'4.25 (194cm)
Donald Sutherland 6'3.75 (192cm)
Rock Hudson 6'5 (196cm)

So, you've gone from 6'2" peak to 6'4.25" for Eastwood?
James said on 8/Jul/11
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 7/Jul/11
James, Eastwood was never 194cm

Not impossible he was not a big amount shorter than 6'7 James Arness and nearly as tall as rock hudson. in the same photo with hudson looked more than 2 inches taller than Michael Caine.

Clint Eastwoods in some ways is like Keanu Reeves for example small head, kinda scrawy and not very wide shoulders so that is probably why he looked shorter. unlike robbins he was not broad shoulderd or big boned.

with his bad posture and build he would give of a 189-190cm illusion on screen in his early films. basicly he was a weak 6'4 1/2 guy so really virtually he was over the 6'4 193cm mark by only a very small fraction not even signifigant. Of course though he was not 195cm or 196cm.

Like Brad said "Legit/strong 6'4 guy peak"

I am off too New York for one week so looking forward to debating more with you guys when i get back :)

Yeah i agree he didn't look 6'4 but he really was though there is evidense to suppourt it. that and in the 1960's and early 70's films were not shot in the same way they are today making the actors not look taller then they really are perhaps.

matt damon is 5'8 but i agree that eric fleming was 6'3.
Terryman said on 5/Jul/11
in the pic by vegas eric fleming looks as though he could edge eastwood if he were to stand at his tallest! Again just shows that 193cm is bull for clint eastwood peak.
Terryman said on 5/Jul/11
1,91-2 meters peak,6'4 is madness for his peak he just never ever looked over 6'3 no matter how thin he was at times!
Vegas said on 4/Jul/11
photos... i watched multiple episodes and they looked the same height, look same height in this shot too Click Here
Shaun said on 4/Jul/11
@Vegas, no Eastwood was a good inch taller than Fleming, see the photos.
Shaun said on 4/Jul/11
Actually Eric Fleming was once listed as 6' on i m d b as was Matt Damon! In reality Fleming was 6'3" and Matt Damon 5'9".5"
James said on 3/Jul/11
193-194cm barefoot peak and over 6'5 in a decent pair of cow boy boots.

In the late 70's 191cm.
Danimal said on 3/Jul/11
Shaun says on 2/Jul/11
The shower scene. I believe he was the same height as another 6'4" without clothes James.

Again, that actor has also been listed at 6'3" on i m d b, as well as 6'3". Safe to say that Clint was somewhere between those 2 heights in the late 70's.

Like Eastwood (maybe 6'4 at the extreme peak, in my opinion), most guys who I know who are 6'3 to 6'5, hunch a bit more every year. One guy, about age 57, always claimed 6'4, but between his slouch and my good posture, his 6'4 is barely over my 6 foot. If memory serves, he appeared taller 10 years ago.
James said on 30/Jun/11
a possibily clint shrunk from 6'4 to 6'3 between 1973-1977. a lot can happen in 4 years since its a long time.

True Lillo Thomas

Shaun Brad said on this page that in 1977 clint eastwood was 6'3. clint i think began losing height in the mid to late 70's.
lillo thomas said on 29/Jun/11
James you can spot 6-2 and 6-4 guys easy in large crowds like concerts , malls etc. 2 inches isn't a big difference . Big diference is anything over 4 inches . 6-6 6-7 guys are rare even in large crowds ; concerts malls . etc. At best I see 1 6-7 guy in malls very few times a year.

WTF??

How about

1973 - 6'4"
1975 -6'4"
1977-6'4"
1980 -6'4"

He didn't begin to lose height until the 80s.

1,92 meters peak!

LOL Shaun I never claimed for 'years' that eastwood 6'3.5 max.

lillo thomas yeah will smith might be over 6'1 but its only by a fraction. and also i do think some guys are or were 6'4 such as....

Liam Neeson
David Hasselhoff
Tim Robbins
Jim Parrack (maybe?)
Clint Eastwood
John Corbett
Dennis Haysbert
Dolph Lundgren
Stephen Fry
Bill O'Reily

guys who i think may be under 6'4 just by how tall they look and watching more of there films are.

Conan O'Brien
Steven Seagal
Bob Saget
Jeff Goldblum
Randy Orton

James something seems to have persuaded you Eastwood was an easy 6'4" peak when for years you've claimed he was 6'3.5" MAX. May I ask what changed your mind? All I know is if you compare Connery to Sutherland and then compare Sutherland to Eastwood he was not under 6'4" peak. He was the same height as George Kennedy I think, and Kennedy was supposed to have been 6'4.5" peak. Rob, I recall you saying you;ve met George Kennedy. Do you think 6'4.5" unlikely for his peak given that you said he's barely above 6' ?

because connery was suppoused to be a strong 6'2 and sutherland was 2 inches taller and eastwood was a fraction taller than sutherland.

lillo thomas 6'2 guys look tall and are not that common and 6'4 is 2 inches over the 6'2 mark and 2 inches is a lot by the way. that is why i think 6'4 is quite rare.
EdgarHernandez said on 28/Jun/11
I have a theory of why clint lost height, first lets see the early and child clint:
Click Here
already had his "crazy long legs, and a unquep posture.
Click Here
i think clint was very predisposed to have back problems in his life time, (look the second picture)
This text is very very good, in this one it saids that clint reached his full height at 16 years old, and for that he was forced to play basket ball(much like john wayne was forced to sports, in his case for his build was football)
Click Here
Lets analize this clint begean in the bascket ball team, an sport for tall people(he was put in the sport for that), but he prefer ultimately weight training, if he just stick for bascked ball and athletic sport( not lifthing weights) maybe he would keep his height more. On top of that notice the posture of clint in his exercise with dumbells:
Click Here
now with a barbell:
Click Here
I notice how his posture is always not complety straight wich should be if he want to dont injure his back or cause a bend of it. Second lets analize this, if he train with weights alot of you ask, why he never looked big?
Click Here
if you read the article you discover that clint usual workout is 3 to 4 hours at for 3 or four days at week, when he wants to bulk, he simple quite his cardio workout and begin to do one hour at day for a full week, he trains his back legs and chest, but it saids nothing abaut his abs(who i suspect that he train normal to little), it also mentions his weird sleep abits, it said that even he sleep well(so maybe is not fault of dayly spine compresion for lack of sleep), but while filming he said to sleep at 6 am, and wake to 3 pm, wich i find, unseting and just after wake up he goes stright to the gym wich i dont find to normal.

One thing they point point out is the obsecion of clint with fitness, and how he train "like a demon" wich could lead to bad results.
In resumen the evidence shows very bad back(even in early age), exesive weight training since the age of 19, wich is now 61 years lifthing weights(he should lighted up after he was 50)and looks like clint never train his abs in the way it should have done(he is reporte for most of his life to had 10% of body fat or less, wich is for his body very posible, so if he train his abs it should be visible easily) his abs would have done better to keep his posture correct, at last for more time.

I met Mr Eastwood on 12/23/1978. My living hero on screen. Please please please get this message to him to make the second half of Grapes of Wrath and or Doomfarers of Coramonde which would make for a 4 movies in a row......epic like Lord of the Rings and of that style..........................

1973-6'4.25 (194cm)
1975-6'3.75 (192cm)
1977-6'3.25 (191cm)
1980-6'3 (191cm)
1995-6'2.5 (189cm)
1997-6'2 (188cm)
2000-6'1.5 (187cm)
2005-6'1 (185cm)
2011-6'0.25 (184cm)

only a matter of time before he hits 183cm...... its strange with clint eastwood it seems during the 1974-1977 era he dropped from a strong 6'4 to 6'3 and he remained the 191cm mark for 17 years then all off a sudden droped down to 189cm in the mid 90's and his height loss seemd too speed up a lot from there on. In the Enforcer which came out in 1976 he seemed 192cm them just 1 year later probably shrunk to 191cm.
lillo thomas said on 27/Jun/11
James insist that Will Smith is over 6-1 , when clearly he is not but downgrade some legit ( peak and current height) 6-4 guys. That's strange . It seems James believe that the 6-4 height is a very strange phenomenon . 6-4 guys are rare but is very easy to spot 6-4 guys in large crowds . I would say that 6-6 6-7 and plus are really the VERY RARE heights.

James said on 26/Jun/11
looking at some clips of clint eastwood in heartbreak ridge on youtube but i don't know why cause even with good posture in that movie did not look over 6'2 (188cm).

Presumably in 1986 when that film came out clint eastwood stood at 6'3 (191cm)? Defenintly looked a detectable amount under 6'4 by the time of that movie. a 1-1.5 inch height loss at 56 is quite impressive.

Sure Connery could have been measured at 6'2.4. But I'm sure that if that's true, it was his out of bed or up from a nap height. "I'm" almost an inch taller in the morning. This would make Connery, once settled, 6'1.5, which is what I'd say he was.
