6' 4" for a few decades. Put the boots on and you get a real deal 6' 6", now add the hat and he looks even taller. I wonder who he votes for president?
adam said on 4/Sep/08
James, and now he`s fat? Nope. Eastwood has always been slender. Thin is a wrong word. He`s always been a tall, slender and definitely a muscular man. Jimmy Stewart was thin: He didn

Frank2, did you ever meet George Kennedy?
I am not Frank2, but George was a legit 6'4" man, seeing he had at least 2-3" on O.J. Simpson in the Naked Gun movies and this was him as an old man at this point.
adam said on 31/Aug/08
Frank2, did you ever meet George Kennedy?
adam said on 30/Aug/08
JW, I dont believe either that John Wayne was 6-4. But come on buddy: Arnold isn`t 5-10. He was a close 6-2 peak, and still six feet. Eastwood was a legit 6-4 prime... and George Kennedy under 6-4! Jesus... If anything, the man was closer to 6-5.
JW said on 29/Aug/08
Mike--The picture proves nothing. Clint Eastwood is closer to the camera so he appears taller. The surface they are on is not visible and neither are their shoes. Arnie is only 5'10" or 5'11" anyway, so Eastwood would definitely appear taller at 6'1".
For those who insist that Clint Eastwood was 6'4" consider that with cowboy boots he would be 6'6". If he wore a hat, that would add another 3 or 4 inches making his total length about 6'9" or 6'10". He would not be able to walk through a standard sized door. Eastwood never appeared that tall.
I have already pointed out that Clint Eastwood and Buddy Ebsen were the same height. In the photo I mentioned, they are right together and their shoulders are even. Clint is wearing cowboy boots and Ebsen is wearing shoes. Fess Parker has on moccasin boots which probably have almost no heel and he still towers over both of them. There is no way that a person 6'4" would look so small next to a person who is 6'5" as Fess Parker is.
People seem amazed about Clint Eastwood's current height or lack of it. The truth is he never was that tall to begin with. Some of the other actors who were billed as being 6'4" but were actually less include John Wayne, George Kennedy, Dan Blocker, Denny Miller, and Max Baer, Jr.
Hugh said on 28/Aug/08
Clint was 6ft4 up till about 20 years ago. He shrunk gradually from there. Today he's 187-188cm.
Mike said on 27/Aug/08
With regards to the Dead Pool with Neeson, there are scenes where he is standing next to Neeson on level ground (such as the warehouse scene, about 20 minutes or so in) & he is exactly the same height. Yet, when walking next to Neeson, Clint looks noticeably shorter. I`ve seen this in several of his films & his posture is dreadful when walking. I remember some back doctor writing about it on here a while back. Similar scenes are in Eiger Sanction, where walking next to 6'4" George Kennedy he is slouching badly and thus shorter, but standing next to him he is the same height. Unless Kennedy, Neeson & lots of other actors are all lying about being 6'4" or 6'3" (highly unlikely), then Eastwood is a legit 6'4".
adam said on 27/Aug/08
Neeson could be taller than 6-4. I`d say a solid 6-4
Bob H. said on 26/Aug/08
On the TV series Rawhide, Eric Flemming always appeared taller than Rowdy/Clint.
Flemming's bio lists him as having been 6'4". I too believe Clint was close but not 6'4".
adam said on 26/Aug/08
Yes that photo isnt very reliable - Clint looks like 5 inches taller which isnt the case. But I sure believe that he was a legit 6-4 prime. No doubts.
Mike said on 25/Aug/08
Click on this link & see the height difference between Clint & Arnie. This looks like it is from the 70's. Tell me, JW, that Clint is not 6'4".

JW said on 23/Aug/08
Frank2--The video proves that Buddy Ebsen was taller than Dean Martin but it doesn't prove that he was 6'3". I am not sold on Dean Martin being 5'10". He looked small on the Sons of Katie Elder and Rio Bravo. Max Baer, Jr. claims to be 6'4" but realistically he could not have been over 6'3". He was about an inch shorter than Tom Lester (6'4"). On the movie The Birdmen, Baer was about 3 inches shorter than Chuck Connors. On the Beverly Hillbillies, he was also shorter than Robert Easton (height unknown). The point is that since Max Baer, Jr. was about 2 inches taller than Buddy Ebsen on the Beverly Hillbillies, Ebsen could only have been about 6'1".
On one episode of the Beverly Hillbillies, Buddy Ebsen looks about 4 inches shorter than Robert Foulk (6'5"). On this episode, it has nothing to do with camera angle or uneven ground. Foulk may have only been 6'4" at the time because he appeared to be the same size as Tom Lester when they appeared together on Green Acres. Foulk was huge but he was not as tall as Chuck Connors or James Arness. Another actor who made Buddy Ebsen look small was Peter Whitney (height unknown).
On the first season of Barnaby Jones, the character that Buddy Ebsen portrayed was described as being 73 inches tall. Although script heights are seldom accurate, it seems unlikely that the Barnaby Jones character would be 6'1" unless there was some basis for it.
I contend that Clint Eastwood's alleged height of 6'4" is as bogus as Dean Martin being 5'10 and Buddy Ebsen being 6'3". Until someone can produce a picture of Eastwood standing next to a genuinely tall actor (not Lee Marvin), I am not convinced.
MHouillon said on 19/Aug/08
I see Eastwood as a 192cm (6'3.5) in his peak and nowadays as a 186cm (6'1.5).
Due to age and back problems has lost 6cm! (2.25 inches.)
Yaspaa said on 17/Aug/08
6'4.5.......... his heels were not that big!
Frank2 said on 17/Aug/08
No, the case ain't closed since Wayne was 6'4". Met him, shook his hand and saw him several times on the Uni lot. I saw him wearing street shoes (no lifts) and he towered over me and just about everyone else.

Napier was 6-6 to 6-7.
Arness was 6-7.
Eastwood was 6-4 to 6-4
Frank2 said on 16/Aug/08
How come 5'10" Lee J. Cobb was three inches shorter than 5'11" Bill Holden in GOLDEN BOY? Then, later on when they appeared together in THE DARK PAST, they were the exact, same height. Tell me why it is that Kirk Douglas was the same height as 5'9" Tony Curtis in SPARTACUS yet Douglas at his peak was only 5'8"? Why is it that in the TV series BATMAN, 6'2" Adam West was at least five inches shorter than Alan Napier? Why is it that in A KISS BEFORE DYING (1956), 5'11" Robert Wagner was two inches taller than 6' Jeff Hunter? Then, in the 1958 film IN LOVE AND WAR, Hunter was an inch taller.
Answer:
THESE ARE MOVIES where make believe is common place. It's not real life.
I've met Ebson. He was 6'3". No doubt in my mind that he was at least four inches taller than me.
Check him out with 5'10" Dean Martin (wearing lifts) in Martin's old variety show:
Click HereThen tell me he wasn't 6'3". Hell, he might have even been 6'4" back when he first started as a dancer in Hollywood.
Eastwood was 6'4" in his prime.
JW said on 15/Aug/08
Frank2--Since you insist that Buddy Ebsen was 6'3", how do you explain him being so much smaller than the actors that I mentioned? For your claim to be valid, Tom Lester would have to be 6'7"; Fess Parker and Alan Napier 6'8"; and James Arness 6'9".
Getting back to Clint Eastwood. On an episode of Maverick he did not appear very tall. He was slightly taller than Eric Fleming on Rawhide but that doesn't prove anything. Clint Eastwood and Buddy Ebsen were the same height and neither of them were 6'4".
Yaspaa said on 15/Aug/08
So you did measure him?
adam said on 14/Aug/08
Yes, that`s true. Eastwood surely was a legit 6-4 peak, no question about that. But John Wayne.. I dont believe he hit 6-4 in his prime.
Frank2 said on 13/Aug/08
I dion't know about Adam, but when I've seen Eastwood he's always towered over most everyone. I don't carry a tape measure with me. I go by what I see. He was tall enough that composer John Williams who's 5'10" came up to Eastwood's nose.
Yaspaa said on 13/Aug/08
You measured him did you Adam?
Frank2 said on 12/Aug/08
Well, Buddy WAS 6'3". I met him and he towered over me. Just look how tall he is next to Dean Martin on his variety show which there are clips available on youtube. Martin was 5'10", wore lifts and Ebson still towers over him.
adam said on 12/Aug/08
Eastwood was a legit 6-4 prime. No doubts. He didn`t/doesn`t wear any kinds of lifts or anything like that... unlike our dear buddy, mr. Duke.
Eastwood: 6-4 to 6-4
Frank2 said on 11/Aug/08
Buddy Ebsen was 6'3". I saw him several times, once on the set of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. No way was he 6'1". Fess was closer to 6'6" in his prime. Met him too. Now, he's one of the nicest people, period.
JW said on 10/Aug/08
Clint Eastwood and Buddy Ebsen were the same height. There is a photograph of them when they appeared on the Danny Kaye show during the 1960s. Fess Parker (6'5") is in the same picture and is a few inches taller than both of them even though he is not even standing up straight. There is no way that Clint Eastwood could have ever been 6'4". About 6'1" would be a more reasonable estimate.
Yaspaa said on 9/Aug/08
I'm going to attract more scorn here but I never like John Wayne the big lumbering oaf never instigated any excitement in me whatsoever so I won't be purchasing the book. 6'4 for Wayne though.
Frank2 said on 9/Aug/08
I met Clint on the Universal scoring stage when John Williams was recording his score for THE EIGER SANCTION. Clint was a tall guy. When he walked on, he towered over everyone. He was a man of few words so he only said "hello" and that was it. And I subsequently saw Eastwood at events such as the Academy Awards. Didn't speak to him there. He just walked by me and he was at least 6'3". His claim of 6'4" is not at all out of hand.
Yaspaa said on 9/Aug/08
Thanks for the welcome mike c,I predict many arguements in the future lol,but thats what I like. Now was George Kennedy 6'4 or 6'4 in shoes,all americans give their height in shoes especially movie stars so comparing Van Cleef and Kennedy is a moot point. Marvin doesn't look 6'2 with 5'10 Keenan Wynn or with Paul Newman posted earlier.
AAAA,yeah I've seen that shot but it's not convincing enough.
Height Tracker said on 9/Aug/08
Frank2 so did you actually ever meet Clint Eastwood in person? I know you've met a lot of the stars and it would surprise me if you've never met this icon.
AAAA said on 8/Aug/08
Yassappa .....
A lot of his cowboy movies are hard to get good still off of. Leone was notorious for his setup of camera work, and those who follwed in directing followed suit. Simply put... he shot at stange angles for dramatic effect. FEw and far pictures exist and I have seen about 3 but they are HARD to find. And people had a tendency to shoot clint from low angles anyway. That, combined with his height made him absolutely looming in a lot of his early films. Look at
Click HereDaniels and Eastwood in 2002 "Bloodwork". Daniels has bad posture and Clint has definitly shrunk some by now. I think if they straightend out Daniels would be a bit taller. Rob has him at 6'3. Clint must have been at least 6'3 to shrink and still appear this tall in his early 70's at this point. My opinion. I know it isn't a full body shot, but their bodies look to matvh up to me from what is displayed. Hope to hear you all soon
Frank2 said on 8/Aug/08
Lee Marvin was most definitely 6'2". I know since I once had the pleasure of meeting him at a screening back in the mid-1970s. I looked up at him and I'm 5'11". He was at least three inches taller than me. David Carradine is now about 6' or was the last time I saw him in person which was several years ago. Don't know how tall he was when he was younger, but I suspect he was 6'1". James Mason was 5'11" in his prime and didn't appear to lose height as he got older. I saw him many times since he and my dad were good friends.
In his prime, Clint was a tall man. At least 6'3". No doubt he could have been 6'4". But these days he's lost some height. After all, he's closing in on 80.

Yaspaa. Welcome aboard. Do yourself a favor and buy The Duke, A Life in Pictures. It's loaded with vintage photos of the Duke. There's a picture of Clint with Marvin, Hudson, Wayne, Stewart, Borgnine, et.al ..clearly shows Clint's and Marvin's footwear. Tell us Marvin was never 6'2"..Clint was still at his best height....6'4"..Let us know. mike c ps. Saw a commercial with Van Cleef and George Kennedy (6'4") and Lee is about 2 inches shorter..
Yaspaa said on 8/Aug/08
Lee Van Cleef was never 6'2,he's a smidge taller than David Carradine and 2" taller than James Mason,6'1 max. Lee Marvin was also never 6'2 more 6'0 as the pic with a 5'10 guy shows on the Marvin page.
All this so called evidence on the net I simply can't find,footwear is obscured or the angle is no good and I'll say it again,there is no way Clint was close to 6'6 in his boots.

Thanks, Patrick. I missed your post....didn't scroll down enough. This post and that of Wayne are tough....it seems some people can't accept the obvious. Clint was at least 2" taller than Lee Van Cleef (6'2") in their movies yet people still insist Clint was not tall at all.

Guys, I've said twice before on this site. My grandfather was 6' when in his early twenties. He died at age 102 and was my height 5'6"..he had curvature of the spine and walked humped over. So, it's possible to lose more than 1 inch as you get older. Clint, 6'4" in prime and now 6'2" when he stands erect.mike c
sf said on 30/Jul/08
No, that's an "average" height lost. Some people will lose more, and some less. Many men will lose at least a few inches, because of old age and continued lack of exercise. People don't realize how important exercise is to your height, as well. Just building muscle supports and reinforces your skeletal structure. However, Clint has exercised, but always seems to have had issues with his back/posture.

Maz - don't know if your info is correct, but it sure backs up the video. No way is that dude 5'10".
Clint is one of the few dudes I've seen from 10 feet away, wearing tennis shoes. He was in his early 60's and 6'2" to 6'3".
Yaspaa said on 21/Jul/08
Phil tells porkies obviously. 5'8 for Humphrys,so in reality 5'7.5,that would make Clint 6'3,I wonder what footwear was being worn?
Maz said on 21/Jul/08
Phil: John Humphrys quoted himself at 5`8" in an interview a few years ago. Maybe that will solve the argument. Clint still looks very lanky in that film though

If Clint was 6'4 he would have been close to 6'6 in his cowboy boots,come on,no way.
sf said on 21/Jul/08
Well, he's not 5'10" in that video, that's all I can say. Not trying to be negative, but don't think the other guy is barely taller than 5'7" to 5'8". You must have seen him in his elevator shoes...

Holy **** Height Tracker you are right,sorry my brain fart,thats 5'11-6'0 Carmen Argenziano even so however I don't see 4-5". Clint peak 6'4 in his boots. I'm going to watch a maverick episode with Clint in tonight so I may have a different opinion later. Dan Hedaya lol

Anonymous said on 18/Jul/08
Clint towers over the guy in the interview. OK the interviewer isn't a big guy but Eastwood looks very tall. I've never really understood the debate about Clint's height in that he's always looked about 6'4''. With age he has lost some height I agree.
patrick said on 18/Jul/08
I still don't understand you don
Yaspaa said on 18/Jul/08
The top of Humphrys head is just below Clint's nose,so we are talking 7-7.5 inches which would make Clint 6'5.5 plus Humphrys doesn't look to have the frame of a 5'10 guy. I respect your opinion but I'm not convinced.
sf said on 18/Jul/08
I'm with Yaspaa - if Clint's 6'4", the other dude's only 5'8", tops...No can trust that Jon Humprys is 5'10" in that - not even close.
Phil said on 17/Jul/08
That must make me 6'1" and, as much I wish I was, I am not!! Remember, Clint has an "Elvis quiff" in that clip so he will look taller. Trust me, Jon Humphrys is a notch over 5'10", making Mr E 6'4".
Yaspaa said on 17/Jul/08
He's not 5'10 that would put Clint closer to 6'5.

clark said on 5/Jul/08
Maximum height of a male Orangutan is about five feet.
Ant said on 4/Jul/08
Apparently some chinese guys once mistook Paul Hogan for clint eastwood so Clint can't be 6ft 4!! Come on watch his films some of them are from an era when we weren't all so height obsessed and he was and is a tall man. Plus he towers over the monkey (orangutan I know) who must be at least 6ft tall!! Have you seen one of those orange blighters up close? Massive!!
Yaspaa said on 4/Jul/08
The shot is misleading ,but we aren't talking about a single inch. Lee's heels aren't visible,lucky for you guys.
Clint is at LEAST 6'4?,come on 6'4 is absolute maximum and I doubt Clint would have wanted to look small next to Rock Hudson,there's the lifts. Gregg Henry is 5'10.5,but they made him look 6'2 om Gilmore Girls next to Edward Herrmann.
Anonymous said on 4/Jul/08
Yaspaa, that phot of Lee Marvin with Paul Newman is misleading. Newman has on cowboy boots and Marvin is badly slouching to say the least. Marvin was 6'2'' without a doubt. Glenn who I believe has been barred said that he met Clint in the late 80s early 90s and he looked at least 6'4''. I've got a Clint doc on dvd in which he has a bit part in a Rock Hudson film and he is approx the same height as Hudson. Hudson was 6'4'' to 6'5''.

He's nearly 80 so it's not surprising he's a lot smaller than in his prime. Look at Paint Your Wagon. Eastwood is definitely taller than Lee Marvin and Marvin was a legit 6'2'' plus.

I'm going to stick my neck out here,hung drawn and quartered I may be, yet I feel the yearning to voice my doubt over Clint's 6'4 height. He always looked like a 6'2 guy to me. If you think of Dolph Lundgren,Clint never had that very very tall look about him. He is still capable of good posture and is able to stand up straight. Where has the height gone? He has lost an inch at most. Bring it on!

Similar in build to Hugh Jackman but Jackmans posture is better, different era but both tall well built men. Makes me sick lol
Robroy said on 23/Jun/08
I read years ago in the 80s that Clint was 6'4". I understand what you're saying about Eli Wallach, but it's common practice in movies to shoot from altered angles to make actors look taller, or use mechanical devices (heels, raised flooring, etc.,) to make two actors with divergent heights appear closer, in most cases to be able to fit them into scenes together. As for back issues, I was 6'2" all of my adult life, until 5 years ago when I had a vertebra fused. I lost a full inch in height, now having to stretch pretty hard on a good day just to hit 6'1". This is VERY common for people with severe back problems.

miko says on 30/May/08
Glenn is below 6"0 barefoot possible now? Or possible in the future?
Let me get this straight. You're asking Glenn (who of course is a licensed doctor/fortune teller), to predict whether Clint will lose even more height?
patrick said on 23/Jun/08
Dear Gonzalo, once more, you're absloutely right: Clint looks and is clearly taller by about 2 inches than Lee Van Cleef.I complain those who cannot see that! He wore cow boy boots? Yes...as all of the others!

Mark, Eastwood looked 4-5 cms taller than Van Cleef in Leone
glenn said on 17/Jun/08
he was 6-4.enough bull.
Mark said on 12/Jun/08
I'm not convinced that Clint was ever 6'4 at his peak. He certainly didn't look a whopping 9 inches taller then 5'7 Eli Wallach in "The Good the Bad and the Ugly." Likewise I didn't notice much difference between him and 6'2 Lee Van Cleef. Also I find it hard to believe someone could lose 3 inches in height through age unless through major spinal deformation or severe hunchback. In the picture above however his posture seems quite solid and straight for a man in his 70's. My guess is that Clint Eastwood's current height is around 6'1, and peak height was around 6'2 1/2.
Daniel said on 5/Jun/08
For Clint Eastwood, 6'4'' peak and 6'+ now sounds very reasonable to me. As some of the guys said before, he looked visibly shorter than Freeman in Million Dollar Baby. Yes, I think it's possible he lost 3 inches or even a bit more. Even a not so tall guy, like US bluesman Johnny Winter (who I think wasn't less than 6 feet in his youth), looks 5'8'' nowadays at 60+ years old, because of a very bad health condition and weakness, I guess.

I agree with anonymous, I think he was 6-3 tops on his prime. He was very thin so he can looks even taller than he really was. Today he looks the same height as Schwarzenegger (6-0), and 1 inch over Brad Pitt. Or he had terrible back issues.

clint is 6'4" tall & it goes well with his personality. It is like a brand logo or symbol that is pasted with his name.

clint is no taller than 6 ft 1 in today and he looks 1.5 to 2 in taller than pitt in cannes festival pics and brad has high cut footwear 99 percent elevator wish means he dosnt even look 6 ft with elevators on that could give estimates of 5 ft 10 to 5 ft 10.5 for him

Chris 175...yes people can lose a lot of height with age and illness. Rock Hudson was close to 6'5" at his peak and had lost over 3-4 inches in height with his illness. He died weighing about 120 pounds.

James, I've got a book in which a young Clint stands next to a young Roger Moore. Clint is a fair bit taller. Moore was 6ft plus. Eastwood was about 6'4'' in his youth.

He is 6ft1 and no less. I find that very hard to beleive thant anyone could lose 4 inches.
clark said on 8/May/08
I will see if I can find out about height loss. It can vary with diff ethnic groups ,bone density, lifestyle, etc. But as a general rule: you can start to notice about the age of 60. The human body is a marvel of engineering, but cannot maintain that optimum physique forever. Interesting how some shorter people have a better posture even when they start to lose height.
Anonymous said on 5/May/08
Eastwood must be well into his 70s. Give the guy a break. There's no way he can be the superb physical specimen he was in his younger days.

He looked less than 2 inches taller than Jay Leno (5'11")on the Space cowboys DVD extras. I'd say nowadays he's 6'1" at best. Losing 3 inches in height still amazes me though...

I think Clint Eastwood was a solid 193cm in his youth and his now around 6ft2.

James - 6'4 is pretty giant to me at 5'7. The different between 6'6 and 6'4 is unnoticeable to us 5'10 and under crowd, and Clint was definitely considered a giant by most in his hay day when the average height of Americans was close to mine.

He was at least as tall if not taller than Freeman in "Unforgiven" .

easily 6'3 or 6'4 in his prime.he towers over everyone in his movies from the 60s,and more so because he had a 'twig' like figure (shoulder and waist the same width lol), which made him look even taller.cool guy.the western movies couldnt have had a better icon.

Definately 6ft4 at his peak. A giant infact. I think he's around the 6ft2 range nowadays.

Well said, Kevint, but I refer you to John Wayne, A Life in Pictures....has a full length shot of Clint and Lee Marvin (both dressed in suits and dress shoes) with Wayne, Hudson, and of course Stewart...buy the book or at least look at the photo and then we'll talk about Clint never being 6'4". Go to the Wayne page and see the album put together by my buddy Gonzalo...it has this classic photo..trust me, the discussion is over on Clint. No doubt 6'4". Mike C ps. I course you would have to know that Stewart was 6'3", Hudson was 6'5", and Wayne, at that time, was down a tad from his 6'4.5 in prime...
Kevint said on 24/Mar/08
Very few actors in Hollywood have ever been 6' 4", although many have claimed that as a publicity height. In my opinion, only James Arness and Clint Walker were 6' 4" or taller, at least among real movie stars (sports stars who made movies, like
Michael Jordan, being disqualified).
So I don't buy Clint as 6' 4" even in his youthful prime; most actors are well under six feet, and any actor that height would loom over most cast members, something that Eastwood rarely did.
Comparing his height to other actors who were also supposedly the same size doesn't make any difference.
I think there's less "height upgrading" in modern Hollywood but in the classic 20th century cinema, with publicists, no actor was under six feet tall and no actress was over 125 pounds.
Jim said on 22/Mar/08
Just been watching "Joe Kidd". Clint is the same height as 6'4" Greg Walcott in several scenes on flat floors. Mr E also has 2" on 6'2" Don Stroud in one scene. He was easily 6'4" in his prime. He is very "slouchy" even then, though. Hence, his shrunke look now.

NO Height Tracker, but I saw and heard the interview.I'm not talking 1970, I'm talking last year, maybe a tad longer. I wish I could have recorded it, but it took me by surprise. Both he and Bill are seated...wide camera view...a blind man can see they're both around the same height. Maybe someone has it or has at least a picture of both Bill and Clint. I don't need a measuring tape to use common sense and see what's in front of me...two very tall guys, albeit Clint on the decline....respect your opinion, though.

Tim: two thoughts: 1) Perhaps the scoliosis has taken away that 3/4". My sister has it and she had to have major surgery to straighten her spine, along with steel rods for a while; and 2) If your recent doctor visit came later in the day, your spine had probably settled some. I suppose you don't really remember now just what time of day your volleyball measurement was.
tim said on 21/Feb/08
when i was 18 i was marked at exactly 6'4 3/4 in the doctors office for a physical required for highschool volleyball. 6'5 was an assumption of others and myself. i have had lower back problems and scoliosis since the age of 16. 3 months ago i was measured at 6'4 flat at the doctors office for another physical for a job. BUT i completely understand your doubt.
TNTinCA said on 21/Feb/08
Is it possible Clint had some vertebrae fused or something? A loss of height of that magnitude is usually not attributed to simply age. 3 inches?
And I don't think his 6'4" height at his peak is inaccurate. He ALWAYS looked that tall in his movies.
G-MANN said on 21/Feb/08
Perhaps Tim overestimated his height when he was younger. People don't normally lose height that young, unless something is wrong with them.
Gramps said on 21/Feb/08
Tim: Wow! Losing an inch by age 33 is VERY unusual barring medical issues. I would venture a guess that one of the two measurements was performed incorrectly, and maybe both. Unless you yourself have specifically noticed getting that much shorter (like versus a brother or best friend), I can't believe you could have lost an inch. I turned 60 last year and have lost no more than 1/4 inch, despite 40 years of lower back problems. I'm not doubting YOU, just the underlying facts.
tim said on 21/Feb/08
i agree with patrick, clint stands at least 2 or 3 inches taller than the 6'2 don stroud. Unfortainly he is wearing cowboy boots the entire movie which can add at least 2 or 3 inches. I say clint is 6'4 in this movie.
I reached the height of 6'5 at the age of 19, and i am now right at 6'4 at the age of 33. Although i am not exactly sure when i came down one inch.

Manitobaboy said on 18/Feb/08
George H:
I believe that not everyone loses (significant) height but it is more obvious in those who are taller. Both Garner and Eastwood lived active lives and were hard on their frames.
The human spine shrinks as one gets older: anatomy and physiology 101. Whether it shrinks by an inch or four inches is going to depend on the depth of cushioning between the vertebrae and the person's original height... along with individual factors like diet and general health. Some people begin to lose height in their 60's, others not til they're 80 but everyone loses some height.
patrick said on 18/Feb/08
I agree Anonymous. In Coogan's bluff, the very good 6'2 Don Stroud, 13 year younger, always looks visibly more than 2 inches shorter than Clint; I would say 3 inches. As for the dead pool, Liam looks taller, that is true. I remember having been surprised!

TJ I agree. Eastwood was slightly shorter than Neeson in the Dead Pool. I don't know why there is any argument about Estwood's height though. Until the last few year he has always looked about 6'4''.

He didn't look taller than Liam Neeson in the Dead Pool. If anything, he looked the same or slightly shorter. In any case, I remember an interview from the time where Neeson said he had been asked to slouch a little in shorts to ensure the hero of the movie wasn't shorter.

Manitobaboy, not everybody shrinks as they get older. I know plenty of older guys in real life, the oldest one reached the awesome age of 93, who barely
lost 1 inch over the course of their lives. Eastwood may have some medical condition or injury effects that caused his relatively big height loss.

The taller you are, the more likely you will lose significant height as the cushioned spaces between your vertebrae will shrink more. Clint, James Garner, Jimmy Stewart - all tall guys who shrank a lot. My father was a hair over 6'1" for most of his adult life - he died at 80 and was barely 5'11".

Hey Doc- I've always noticed Clint's extremly curved spine (even in earlier movies) and wondered about it. Makes sense why he could lose so much height.
Dr Ed Michaels, UK said on 15/Nov/07
Hi Tubbs. Mr Eastwood could, if he "stood tall", still conceivably reach 6`3" or so. However, at the age of 77 & an almost lifelong problem of postural defects, he would find it too painful. Remember, his whole musculature has adapted to his spinal curvature over the years. The condition is certainly not as uncommon as people think. Having it for years from a young age, as Mr Eastwood clearly has, will naturaly cause problems with posture.
Danimal said on 15/Nov/07
He doesn't look 6'2" anymore. Dream on.
tubbs said on 15/Nov/07
I doubt that he's lost 4", and I doubt someone Clint's age is that bothered about his height anymore, either way he's still a tall guy. With decent posture, considering his condition he still looks near 6'2".
glenn said on 15/Nov/07
he is 77 years old.what does one expect in the elderly? hercules?
Danimal said on 15/Nov/07
Do you think this 4" height loss has hit the man's confidence at all? After all, he was known for his tough guy image and now he's looking like a feather can blow him over.

Curvature of the spine, scroll down and read the comments from Dr Ed Michaels, he's a back specialist, pretty informative stuff.

I think he was about 6'4 still in Heartbreak Ridge '85, Bo Svenson who was about 6'6+, was only about 2.5 inches taller than Mario Van Peeples than Clint was, so Clint was real close to 6'4. Also the big Swedish guy he beats up was 6'4 and Clint was all but the same height as him.
tubbs said on 8/Nov/07
I find what Dr Ed has to say very interesting. I have a friend who has the same condition as Clint with regards to scoliosis. He is a 6'1 guy ,who describes how the lower lumbar region 'collapses' on occassion, and tells me how it bends like a banana (sorry for the non technical terms) and when it does he looks around 5'11.5 at the most. However, when his back is in good shape, and he stands tall he is no doubt 6'1". My question is Dr Ed, could Clint still look 6'3", 6'4" if he stood straight, albeit in some considerable discomfort, or are there too many factors contributing to his loss of height to get up in the 6'4" region. Personally Clint still looks 6'1.5" to me.

Watching the Dollars Trilogy films, Eastwood was between 34 - 36 years old. Take into factor that in every scene he's wearing big thick boots, he looked me somewhere between 6'3" and 6'4". I don't think he could been anything under 6'3" in his prime, not a chance.

clint was 6'4 but with all the back problems and getting older he has shrunk now to like 6'1.5 or 6'2 nowadays
Dr Ed Michaels, UK said on 13/Oct/07
Hi Catsman - The pelvis problem he appears to be suffering from will cause some shrinkage and he also has curvature of the spine. Both of these will contribute to Mr Eastwood`s significant height loss. His postural problems have been evident from his youth. If you are able to see old episodes of Rawhide it is a problem even then and it will be exacerbated by old age.
sam said on 11/Oct/07
Warren Beatty actually looks slightly taller than Eastwood in Rob's photo, but Clint has clearly lost all those inches. Back in the 60s, I would guess that Warren would have been looking up at Clint.
Catsman said on 9/Oct/07
Dr Ed - are you saying that the angle of the pelvis results in a curved upper spine? That is interesting. Who else have you seen with that posture?
patrick said on 9/Oct/07
Ed. Rob: what "Kurt" on the pic? "Kirk" yes, but Kurt...
Anyway, that feels bizarre to see them so...
I am sure what Dr Ed syas about Clint is right all th emore since because I always saw what he is talking about: scoliosis and "bad posture" du to a back problem. He pelvis is very wide and fortunately, Clint is broad shouldered or else...
He is not the same man than before for sure and that is normal! Look at my so dear Kirk Douglas! I find him great in that picture, above all considering he is 91!!!

They dragged out all the old legends recently. Kurt is around Billy Crystal height now, Beatty looks tall there actually...

I added a comment on hear a few months ago about Mr Eastwood`s posture. For those newcomers, I have seen examples of his type of posture before in my role as a back specialist. Even in his younger days, you can see his pelvic girdle "leaning" or "slanting" to the right as he is standing or walking. This becomes more pronounced in his later films; for example, you can really notice it in the fims with the orang-utan, when he has his top off. Also, note the way he walks & you will clearly see this effect. This type of postural defect is a form of scoliosis and I can tell you from my experiences that this can cause a significant reduction in height. One of you mentioned Heartbreak Ridge and, funnily enough, this was on in the UK a few weeks ago. I noticed that Mr Eastwood had to "stand tall & straight" in playing a military officer and he looked close to the height of the officer played by Everett Martin who, I have read, is 6`5" tall. In his regular, everyday life, he would not be able to keep that "stand tall" posture up as it would produce some discomfort and, with his advanced years, he will clearly be shorter than in his prime by quite a surprising margin. I hope this is of interest to his fans & everyone who is contributing to this very entertaining site. Kind regards Dr Ed Michaels

I didn't mean anything with my comment about obsession. I know it's all for fun. That's why I came back ;)
glenn said on 1/Oct/07
he was 6-4 in the early 90s.i witnessed a freakishly tall man walking about at parties and events, taller than anyone in the crowd.by far.
mike c said on 1/Oct/07
Russ, it isn't an obsession...it good clean dialogue/fun...better than all the crap that's out there. Respect your opinion.
dmeyer said on 1/Oct/07
i agree too i aint sure he was a full 6'4 at peak more like 6'3
Height Tracker said on 1/Oct/07
I agree with Russ's 6'3" estimate. Clint always looked a tall guy in his early films but he never seemed quite the towering 6'4". 6'3" prime height fits well for him.
Viper said on 1/Oct/07
You can tell sometimes that 6-4 could be a stretch, If you really know how tall 6-4 looks.
Russ said on 30/Sep/07
It was the early 80's. Probably 1981 when I held the door open for Clint Eastwood and his gal pal. If you want to beleive that Clint was 6'4" at that time, then so be it. Maybe he was. I was 5'9" at the time and he was considerably taller than me. But, 7 inches taller? It's hard to tell at a glance. I stumbled across this site by accident. It's amusing how people can be obsessed by a person's height. Oh well. Have fun.

Russ, you do realize that 1 inch is the thickness of a man's thumb....how could you say that 6'4" is stretching it?
Height Tracker said on 28/Sep/07
What year was this Russ?
Russ said on 27/Sep/07
When I was on a camping trip in California, I held the door open for Clint as he and his female companian were walking out of a sporting goods store. He was quite tall. My guess: 6' 3". 6 feet four is stretching it.
mike c said on 26/Sep/07
Yes, Viper..he's lost about 1.5 inches in height. Given the age of the man, the way he holds his head with the shoulders hunched, and curvature of the spine I would say 1.5...if he were to straighten up 6'2.5"/.25" easily. I think I've said it abot three times in the last yr and a half..my grandfather was 6' in his youth..at 90, when I last saw him he was my height...5'6"...hunched over,bad curvature of the spine, etc. Just look at Clint's stance and walk in movies like Hearbreak Ridge..by the way, I think Stan is correct. Great action movie, I saw it again last night and Stan is right on the money...Viper, let's see who among the contributors has the balls to ask Clint to strip so we can get a good look at his back.....and yes, he can't help his poor posture.
Viper said on 26/Sep/07
So Mike, If thats the case then Clint has only lost a little over an inch in height.
stan said on 24/Sep/07
He was 6'4 in heartbreak ridge, that swede guy that he beats up in the begining was a tight end for the kc cheifs and was measured at the NFL combine at 6'3 1/2 257. When he stands right next to clint, clint is just a little taller, about a half inch. I think clint might have been pushing about 220 also.
Bad Radio said on 22/Sep/07
wow ..he lost 3 inches..is that possible?
l0ck n l0ad said on 22/Sep/07
Years ago, about 5 or 6, I read in a few articles that Eastwood was already 6 feet by the time he was 13 and fully grown to 6'4" at 15! Did anyone else hear about this? Being 6'4" at the age of 15 must have been a darn giant for his time.
mike c said on 5/Sep/07
AAAA, I believe that if Clint were to straighten out completely, he would be 6'2.5 at the very least. Just study pics of him with Hackman and other co-stars...I don't think he can help the poor posture....
AAAA said on 5/Sep/07
Thats what I meant. I wonder how much he has actually shrunk, and how much is just an old man with horrendous posture
J.R. Ewing said on 4/Sep/07
Height always made Eastwood a mysterious figure in many of his films. His thin weight along with his height - good combination in his earlier films.
mike c said on 28/Aug/07
AAAA, sooooo that would put CE at ~ 6'2" now or a tad taller!!!I don't think Clint is down to 6'+ now...look at your great pic.!!! Always heard SP was 6'3"+.
AAAA said on 26/Aug/07
I think he is around 6'2.5-6'3. Hell he could have been 6'3 and a bit when he was younger. I thik he is pushing 80 now, so he may have lost an inch
