You're one lucky guy, Glenn. I wish I could meet him or at least see him in person. Grouchy or not, he's one hell of a hero for us ol' folk..just kidding, 60 is not old, it's just not young. On my computer I'm able to scroll down and view what others have said or contributed...check out Gonzalo on the Wayne page, I think in early May.

But slim, if your about 6'3'' that still makes Clint about 6'4'' which is what he has always claimed. Of course he's not gigantic but still big to say the least.

in 1975, waiting on line to see a hot new comic named steve martin in san francisco, i stood right next to The Man With No Name, aka clint eastwood. i am (or was)a hair under 6'3" and clint was indeed about 1" taller. somehow i was disappointed- i wanted him to be huge and he was barely taller than me. he was a regular guy who didn't ask for star treament.

Looked about the same height as Jeff Daniels in Bloodwork. Daniels is supposed to be 6'3'' so may be Clint hasn't shrunk much. What I don't understand is why Clint is dwarfed in photos with Tim Robbins at the time Mystic River was released where there looks a good 4 inch height difference. If Robbins is 6'5'' Clint looks 6'1''. Look on google and check it out.

Clint lost 3 inches in height over the years? That's gotta be kidding. We are talking about almost 10cm difference!!! Although he is aging still there is no way he's shrinked by that much.

Kevin T that's ridiculous. Clint was not short by any stretch of the imagination; and that had nothing to do with him starring in Westerns.

Clint was a beloved actor in western movies, which means he has automatically grown at least 2" in the popular imagination. Name three actors who starred in western films who are dubbed "that short guy".

Clint Eastwood is a legend. He was a very tall and handsome man in his prime. Hollywood celebrities are not like your average man in the street they have special qualities that most of us don't possess. You or I could not have been films stars if only we'd had the breaks. We just aren't talented or attractive enough. Making out that Clint wasn't that tall is a load of crap.

I met Clint Eastwood twice when he was filming in San Francisco. The first time was around '86 or '87. The next time was a couple of years later at Washington Square in front of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. I was 6'1" at the time, and as I stood within 5 to 6 feet of him, he towered over me. I was shocked at his height and broad shoulders. He would have been about 57 to 60 at those times. I can easily believe he was definitely 6'4" if not an inch taller. I was 37 to 40 at those times and now I am only a little over 6'. We do lose height with age.

Yes, he's lost about 3+" from his 6'4" peak. Medical issues have obviously played a role in his shrinkage.

Anthony, I've watched The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly several times, Clint did look tall, about 6'4" considering he would have been in his prime height from the 60s - 70s, this movie was made around 66' or 67' I think, but I don't think Clint looked 6'5", let alone 6'6"!

i think that clint was about 6'3 barefoot in his prime. to someone lose 3 inches is incredible. most men shrink between 1 and 2 inches. my father is 74 years old and shrunk only half, he is now 5'11. his peak height is 5'11.5.
maybe some men when they get that age shink 3 inches but is hard to me imagine that massive lost of height of a normal man that wasnt in sports, wresting etc.

6'2" at most? No. If you think he is 6'0"-6'1" in the pic with Glenn, you believe that he was only 1" taller in other pics with men who were 5'8" as Glenn is? Clint towered over 6'0" men, let alone 5'8" guys like Glenn (no offence Glenn ;)).

Sutherland was 6'4". I have an old black and white British horror movie from 1965 with him and Christopher Lee, who was 6'5" and they appeared the same height. Sutherland was a solid 6'4" and that's what he was listed at in his day.

Well, the Biography Channel said he grew to be "six foot" in his late teens, and never elaborated further. Clint looks old in this picture, but he's in good shaped and probably not as slumped as people image. Here, he looks 6-0, maybe 6-1. I'd think he was, at most, 6-2 in his prime.

Sutherland was a solid 6'4" in his younger days. If Goldblum had an inch on him, it's because Sutherland lost an inch since his younger days. Either that, or Goldblum was 6'5" and not his claimed 6'4".

6' 4" in the early seventies. Hard to tell in the Spaghetti Westerns since he was working with almost all Italian/Spanish cast members who he dwarfed. Leone loved to put the camera very low looking up to make him really big.

AAAA, I think it's called "The Hunchback of Carmel." Seriously though, Clint has lost at least three inches from his peak 6'4" in the past 20 years or so, especially the last 5-10. Don't know the cause, but I'm sure he knows. BTW, "kyphosis" is the medical term for that hump back.

dude was 6'4 when younger, I think we established that. He has had some major shrinkage, but as rob has pointed out time and time again, he now has terrible posture and is developing one of those humps. That takes even more height away, as he can't really stand up straight anymore. Rob, what are those humps called again. You said it once before.

He looked very tall to me when he was young, around 6`4. I thought he was taller than Sutherland in Kelly. And Sutherland was a little bit shorter than Jeff Goldblum. That would make Eastwood as tall as Goldblum. Does anybody here think Goldblum is not 6`4? No? I thought so

The 28 Feb entry below with the link to Revenge Of The Creature shows a young Clint that is just an inch or so taller than 6'1" John AGAR. That would lead me to believe that Clint was likely 6'2" TO 6'3" in his prime. Take a look.

If I compare 6-4 David Hasselhoff with Estwood's height as a young man, Hasselhoff looks taller and more than just a little bit.
He is still in good shape for his age.So, how can he have shrunk that much?
Did they knock with a hammer on his head in order to make him shorter?

Robert, I think your wrong. Cromwell was 6'7'' so of course Eastwood was shorter. I do think Eastwood was 6'4'' when young though. He was a big man. I think people who say Eastwood was 6'2'' at best are nuts. How come he towered over Lee Marvin in Paint your Wagon? Marvin was a big 6'2'' or maybe 6'3''.

Well Robert, Clint never claimed more than 6'4" and Cromwell is currently around 6'5". So yes, you are right that Cromwell is taller now than Clint ever was. However, I personally think that Clint's bare minimum height when he stood barefoot as a young man was 6'3". I refuse to believe anything under 6'3" for Eastwood at his peak and 6'4" seems possible to me.

On a side note....I believe Clint was a legit 6'4 in his youth and was still close as early as 4 or 5 years ago. Now he is a 6'0-6'.25 guy. I was watching one of the Dirty Harry's and I noticed that in the 60's he did have a brushed back Ben Affleck type cut, and it was even bigger in the 70's. And this to the fact that he was a lean legit 6'4 and that is where these giant sitings from years ago come in. I am too lazy to use tiny url, but seriously. He had big hair along with being 6'4.

2003??? Uhhhh, no. That was defintely the 1990's. A 2003 Clint looked MUCH older than that! Hogan has been promoting his show since the late 80's.

Because, Danimal, that would support Arnold still being a big guy in the 6'1 - 6'2 range. And we can't have that, now can we? Like I've said before, people on here can be very selective with what they use as 'evidence'.

Thanks, mike c. J-Dog's pic is great, as Jackson is listed here as 5'9" and Tyson as 5'9.5". It looks like there is at LEAST 8" difference between Jackson and Clint. Although this would place Clint at 6'5" (not at all likely), it clearly puts him around 6'4" anyway, even in his late 50s.

Thanks, Mike C. I haven`t posted lately in John Wayne`s page. I`ve focused myself in other people. I don`t have anything new to say about Wayne.
Eastwood, by the way, looked shorter than president Jacques Chirac, who must be a little bit over 6`1 these days. Eastwood has lost four inches, as Glenn has told us.

I am a back specialist in the UK & have recently come across this excellent site. I thought I could explain what has actually happened to Mr Eastwood over the years. Clint suffers with a curvature of the lower spine. If you look closely in films when he has his torso on view, eg the "Clyde" films & even as far back as Coogan's Bluff, there is a marked slanting of his lower spine to the right hand side. You can clearly see this when he is walking in many of his films, particularly in his later ones (mid eighties onwards). This can easily cause a significant height reduction. Try it yourself by bending your lower spine to one side to artificially create this condition & record the drop in height. 3 inches is easily achieved. This is a version of scoliosis (lumbar scoliosis) & explains why he has shrunk. Looking at pictures of him in the 60's & 70's you can see he is his listed height of 6'4", particularly when standing next to other equally tall actors. One can think of people like George kennedy, Rock Hudson, Gregg Walcott et al & he is easily their height. I hope this explains to all his fans out there. He was very tall & has certainly shrunk but this is a medical condition & not as uncommon as many of you may think. Kind regards, Dr Ed Michaels.

I was waiting to see if a sort of consensus formed regarding Clint Eastwood's height loss, and the prevailing viewpoint seems to have hardened into an acceptance of four full inches. I think the photo of him with Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson creates a devastating perspective when compared to the recent one with Glenn. I, too, would be interested in hearing what Glenn thinks, as he was standing right there. Though camera angles can vary endlessly, if the photo is accurate, I agree with Danimal - the man is clearly struggling with an
even six feet. To put it in stark relief, go to the earlier photo and place Glenn in it at about an inch-and-a-half below Mike Tyson (which I think would be dead-on), then move him to the left so he's standing in front of Eastwood. Glenn's eyes will rest on top of Clint's bow tie. Now look at the recent photo - Glenn's eyes are above the base of Eastwood's nose. I measured that anatomical difference on myself and got over five inches. If nothing else,
this proves retrospectively that in his early days, Clint Eastwood was
indeed a genuine six-four. But it also proves that he is not now 6'1.5" to
6'2", as some posit, because that would have made his top height 6'6" or very near it, something I don't think anyone is now claiming or ever has claimed. Interesting calculations.

It's amazing how M.J. and Tyson were practically just below Clint's nose in that pic and they are both about 2" taller than Glenn, yet Glenn is 3-4" above the bottom of Clint's nose now. The man is struggling with 6'0" today. He's lost what would appear to be about 4".

It's a bit unusual I think for guys rather than women to shrink 3 inches. Guys usually lose about an inch and women 2 or more I guess. I don't buy into Clint being a 6'2'' guy when young, he was genuinely very tall I believe. Bigger in person than on film unlike most actors.

He does look older but don't be too misled by the graying temples - Michael Jackson still looks human, and Mike Tyson wears a goofy, charming grin that seems to predate the beginning of his long and tragic downward spiral. I would guess the photo to have been taken around 1988. Comparing his height in this photo with the recent one above is an exercise in shock. The poor guy is falling apart generally - there's an extreme close-up of him making the rounds lately on billboards at bus stops in L.A., and his face looks like the skins of fifty lizards stitched together.

Go back and look at the extensive spine injury/laminectomy/disc surgery material that got posted from June 06 through August 06. I wasted years doing demand letters to insurance companies for clients with back injuries. I've studied hundreds of MRIs and read countless reports from orthopedic surgeons
describing various types of trauma to the spine and the medical outcomes. The height shrinkage from reparative surgery (when it occurs) is irreverible. Organic deterioration from osteoporosis and changes in the curvature of the spine also cause height loss that can rarely be gained back. This appears to be what's happened to Clint Eastwood - it fits perfectly and nothing else does - there's just no other way to explain the loss of three solid inches, which the above photograph with Glenn clearly indicates.

Clint was 6'4'' or thereabouts when younger. If you look at old photos the guy is very tall. He was noticeably taller than Lee Marvin who was at least 6'2'', check out Paint Your Wagon. He was also taller than 6'2'' Lee Van Cleef. Nowadays he looks about 6'1'' to 6'2'' so he has lost height but this occasionally happens with males in older age.

Delphonic, you're right, a shrinkage of even three inches seems colossal and
thus highly unlikely. For me personally to go from 5'11.5" to 5'9" has an aura of the unreal about it. Years ago an article in Life Magazine put Kirk Douglas at six feet, but when he and Woody Strode fight to the death in "Spartacus"(a death temporarily aborted for both of them) the 6'4" Strode looks nearly a foot taller than Kirk Douglas. In some of the scenes in "Unforgiven" I thought Morgan Freeman was slightly taller than Clint Eastwood, but I thought Freeman was 6'5" based on his dwarfing Brad Pitt in "Se7en". However, someone had fed me an erroneously tall height for Brad Pitt - give him 5'10" and everything falls into place. It's amazing how often changing the height of one person can make the controversy regarding three or four other people evaporate.

FWIW, just saw the repeat from about a month ago of Clint on Letterman and when he first walked out, they appeared to be almost dead even in height - I would wager on about 6'1.5", as the concensus on Letterman seems to be a little off his claimed 6'2".

Firstly, thank you, Delphonic, you owe me no apology - I bit back at you harder than I should have the first time. Yes, it's quite droll that you assumed I was a woman and I definitely take it in good fun. But speaking of poor Clint Eastwood, an iconic figure who I can't imagine not always being with us, I practically fell out of my chair laughing when Glenn revealed that he was developing a dowager's hump - it's so hilariously contrary to the image of total
masculinity and raw physical power he still exudes from every pore. But looking at the new photo, I agree with everyone else - it's difficult to give him anything over six feet if there are no angle distortions at work. In fact, he's struggling to hold three inches over Glenn - look at the top of Clint's forehead, not his hair, as the flash has rendered Glenn's hair invisible but has artificially heightened Eastwood's locks. I had a thought, and I'd be interested in what some you think of it: my dad was a fine athlete, but only jogged during the last decade of his life. I saw him go from 5'10.5" to at most 5'9" in eight or ten years. I know Clint jogs regularly. I think all that pounding on the pavement, stretched out over half a lifetime, gives the legs, knees and back a terrible crunching. I calculated it and we're talking about coming down hard, often on asphalt or concrete, millions of times. Not only do the joints in your legs begin to compress, the numerous vertebrae that run from the top of the cervical spine down to your coccyx (tail bone) also compress, perhaps significantly. I've always been aware of this, and hence have stuck to cycling to avoid that pounding down of the musculoskeletal system. In a guy with a long torso like Clint Eastwood, forget the legs, I say his spine alone could have shrunk a full two inches. Lastly, there could have been a spinal surgery that was kept from the general public. I'm not a rumor monger, I'm just saying his height loss has clearly been dramatic, so all of us are looking for reasonable explanations. I couldn't possibly give him less than 6'3" as a younger man, and can easily accept the standard 6'4" as his maximum. Lastly, it's a little sad to see such a great guy cling so tenaciously to his original imposing stature by stating the old 6'4" as recently as 2003 - clearly he himself is having trouble dealing with the loss of height.
Firstly, thank you, Delphonic, you owe me no apology - I bit back at you harder than I should have the first time. Yes, it's quite droll that you assumed I was a woman and I definitely take it in good fun. But speaking of poor Clint Eastwood, an iconic figure who I can't imagine not always being with us, I practically fell out of my chair laughing when Glenn revealed that he was developing a dowager's hump - it's so hilariously contrary to the image of total
masculinity and raw physical power he still exudes from every pore. But looking at the new photo, I agree with everyone else - it's difficult to give him anything over six feet if there are no angle distortions at work. In fact, he's struggling to hold three inches over Glenn - look at the top of Clint's forehead, not his hair, as the flash has rendered Glenn's hair invisible but has artificially heightened Eastwood's locks. I had a thought, and I'd be interested in what some you think of it: my dad was a fine athlete, but only jogged during the last decade of his life. I saw him go from 5'10.5" to at most 5'9" in eight or ten years. I know Clint jogs regularly. I think all that pounding on the pavement, stretched out over half a lifetime, gives the legs, knees and back a terrible crunching. I calculated it and we're talking about coming down hard, often on asphalt or concrete, millions of times. Not only do the joints in your legs begin to compress, the numerous vertebrae that run from the top of the cervical spine down to your coccyx (tail bone) also compress, perhaps significantly. I've always been aware of this, and hence have stuck to cycling to avoid that pounding down of the musculoskeletal system. In a guy with a long torso like Clint Eastwood, forget the legs, I say his spine alone could have shrunk a full two inches. Lastly, there could have been a spinal surgery that was kept from the general public. I'm not a rumor monger, I'm just saying his height loss has clearly been dramatic, so all of us are looking for reasonable explanations. I couldn't possibly give him less than 6'3" as a younger man, and can easily accept the standard 6'4" as his maximum.

I think that Clint was about 6'3" in his prime. You have to remember that he's in his late 70's now and will have naturally lost some height. I have seen a ton of his movies, including all of the Dirty Harry's. He always towered everyone in his earlier films, and his shoes looked very flat and not suspect. He is also probably one of my favorite actors and a legend.

Delphonic, you have a point there, I've always thought Eastwood looked about 6ft2-6ft3, but based on all of the 6ft4 claims, I bought it. Especially after seeing The Dead Pool, in which he was about an inch or more shorter than Liam Neeson. It's very possible Eastwood was only about 6ft2 or a bit more in his hey day, and based on all of the westerns he did wearing cowboy boots, giving him 2 inches on a already tall and lanky frame, the 6ft4 listing worked. His 3 inch height loss without any known ailment seems a bit much, maybe it's more like 1.5 inches.

Could it be that Clint was one of those naturally tall guys (6' 1" to 6' 2") who wore big boots/lifts to look crazy tall (6' 4") in his youth? Kinda like John Wayne supposedly did? Just a theory, as it seems unlikely that he's shrunk like 4 inches, even at his age.

Glenn, thank you for your kind words (I have to keep that part of it short so Delphonic doesn't find more material to augment his accusation that I'm acting like an obsequious groveling sycophant toward you). I studied over a hundred photos of Bruce Willis, and can easliy give him 5'11" based on the impression of height that he projected in those photos. So your low end and my high end are really only half an inch apart, close enough to reach out and shake hands in a truce. There's just one single photo that's preventing our closing the book on the Willis controversy, and it's among those on his own section in this site, the photo where he's standing next to Justin Long. There's a consensus that Justin is 5'9" - I will now buy even six feet for Bruce Willis. But look carefully at their footwear, which is clearly in evidence for both of them. Justin is wearing what used to be called "deck shoes". These are very low-cut canvas shoes that have almost no heel on them. As the white strip wrapping around the toes flares back to the heel there's practically no lift upward. On the other hand, Bruce is wearing leather dress shoes that have boot-like properties: as they flare along the bottom of the sole back toward the heel, it is very obvious that an elevation gain of at least a solid inch is obtained, and since the sole is fastened to the shoe above the heel, the wearer will also gain whatever the thickness of the sole is, in additional to the build-up of material inside the shoe right at the heel that we can't see. The point is, Bruce is just very slightly taller than Justin in the photo, really about the same height, and is clearly gaining more additional stature from his shoes than Justin is from the ones he's wearing. Glenn, I'm not trying to knock the beehive over again, I am just honestly trying to make sense of this photo, because it is very puzzling. What do you think is going on here?

Misha - So let me get this straight, you can politely and eloquently present your theories of personal doubt about the elaborate range of heights different people claim to have seen certain celebs at and that's fine. But if anyone else has the audacity to express their doubts (based on photos or any other "supposed" sightings other than Glenn's verifiable sightings), then they are reduced to aggravating nitwits and their opinions totally dismissed??
Obviously, Glenn's contributions have made the site, whether you agree with all of his subjective perceptions of those encounters or not. While there is no reason to disrespect him (even if you disagree), that does not mean that schmoozing him makes your disagreements anymore credible. However, it is possible to appease Glen (your apparent goal) without belittling everyone else who happens to disagree with him on a couple of celebs. Disagreement is not disrespect, but name calling is.
You seem like an articulate, tall and most likely attractive woman who is probably used to quickly and easily bonding with those at the top of the totem pole in any situation in order to improve your own standing. But this isn't a corporate boardroom or social climbing cocktail party where there may be publishers or producers present. It's simply a discussion board about the vain and essentially meaningless (although intriguing and entertaining) topic of celeb's height. Feel free to relax and have fun with it ;-)

Lest we forget the 5-5,5-6 claims of film crew that worked with Stallone.even the non believers of 5-10.5 agree thats insanity.people are plain stupid.thats all.means that Sly was 5-9 in his then 50s posture and they were expecting a 6-2 superhero.the tall film hand downplays him to feel better.the 5-5 stagehand pegs Sly at his height.its all psychological.

Glenn, Sorry, I chose Willis at random before seeing all the grief you've gone through with some of these nitwits on major stars - rather than metamorphose into one of these aggravating perpetual naysayers, I'm won't check back with
comments until I have some personal "in the flesh" sightings to contribute. But please explain something to me - I'm pretty much between 5'11" and 6'0" - I don't sit around obsessing about height, but the times it has come up as I have interacted with people up close face-to face, my height has generally been estimated at six even (because I'm wearing shoes) or 5'11" - the point is,
no one has ever thought I was 5'10", even a mere inch-and-a-half shorter than I am, or for that matter 6'1", an inch-and-a-half taller - maybe a few times
people who are poor judges of height or innate flatterers have guessed
6'1" because I have long thin features and can look taller than I am from a near distance. So my question is, why would a film professional at arm's length from Bruce Willis be nearly a half-a-foot off in his estimation of Willis' height? Going in the other direction, would anyone ever mistake this actor for 6-6 or 6-7? Do you see my point? I'm not trying to stir up controversy that nevers ends like some of these guys, I'm just honestly curious how this could happen and am interested in getting your expert opinion.
Thanks again for your site.

Your right.lets believe random people of claims of 5-8 for Willis.never mind that I see him once a month and that he looked 6-2 to me in his low cut sneakers and shorts.the man is no smaller than 5-11,no taller than 6-1.with 6ft the most realistic as he looks it in films.my friend just the other night said Willis was a regular at his Starbucks.my friend is 5-11 and estimated Willis at 6-3! obviously,he cant tell height.but thats close enough to the 6-1 I usually see him at.

I can't believe he's lost 3 inches over the decades! I can see bodybuilders and some atheletes losing height more rapidly after back surgeries and too much stress on muscle joints over the decades, but I can't see how an average guy can loose that much height naturally.

Misha - well put! Now if only you could get through to the people that prefer to use the "public function" pics to endlessly argue that Stallone, Clooney, Bloom and Farrell are like 5' 11" and Pitt is like 6'. They prefer to ignore the pics and sightings where they are undoubtedly shorter. Either these guys have all disappeared for 6 months at some point to have limb-lengthening surgery and the long and complicated rehab (doubtful), or they are indeed the shorter heights they have been caught at when not in "advanced footwear".

Re Misha: Wow, Misha. What an eloquent comment! And yes, for the most part it is true, though not entirely. When you write that "If someone spots a star at a swimming pool in his bare feet and he is eyeball to eyeball with the spotter's own 5'9", isn't it obvious that this is the star's true height?" you ignore the fact that people's heads/faces can have different compositions if you will. I know most about my favorite actor Warren Beatty, but he serves as a good example for this. While his "eyeballs" are significantly below the slightly taller Morgan Freeman's, the part of his head ABOVE his eyebrows takes away almost all of that height difference between the two of them, rendering it almost non-existent. So, if a shorter man than Beatty with a longer lower part of his face than top part of his face would come "eyeball to eyeball" with someone like Beatty, he could therefore say "I looked him in the eye so he must be my (lower) height" because he would not be able to judge how much difference in height exists above eyebrow level..... Just a thought.

Plaudits for a most interesting site that documents human vanity with unimpeachable evidence. Yet somehow, the most obvious principle one would apply in determining the true height of a given individual is frequently overlooked in these occasionally heated commentaries: that no one can possibly be any taller than the LOWEST height at which they have been accurately measured. If someone spots a star at a swimming pool in his bare feet and he is eyeball to eyeball with the spotter's own 5'9", isn't it obvious that this is the star's true height? I think it's okay to add an inch when stating your height, because we go through life appearing in shoes, rarely barefoot, and shoes generally add an inch to an inch and-a-half. But what puzzles me is the amount of debating that goes on if the aforementioned star is seen at a public function and appears to be 6'0". Endless speculation and argument follow. Why? The star has been measured at 5'9", and so now he is clearly wearing three inches' worth of heels. End of story. All of this needless bickering should stop. No one can be any taller than the lowest height they've been measured at. Another interesting point: camera angles can and do endlessly deceive, but overall body shots in a film where you can see a man's legs exposed, along with the general height of his torso, can be quite revealing. For example, actors like Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and even Russell Crowe have short legs and rather squat builds. This is not to say they can't be esthetically pleasing and handsome, but claims that they are 5'11' or even 6'0" are ludicrous. These three superstars are manifestly around 5'9", though Crowe could be as tall as 5'10" and Stallone could be as short as 5'7" - he walked right by me at a driving range a dozen years ago (so he could have lost even more height by now)and with golf shoes and spikes he was no more than 5'9", three inches under my "hair under" six feet. So in the name of sanity, in an effort to prevent much of the disastrous nonsense that can clog up and mar the commentaries, the shortest verified height of a given individual is obviously his maximum height - if he's never been seen in bare feet then he's even shorter than the shortest verified height. Someone can only be the lowest height they are measured at or even shorter - they can never be taller! Thus all other taller "sightings" involve shoes with lots of heel and possibly even lifts augmenting the shoes. Am I the only person who gets this? But let's also be careful not to attach too much importance to height anyway. Many of our most
gifted actors such as Kirk Douglas, Alan Ladd, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Paul Newman, Montomery Clift, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Johnny Depp were/are all 5'9" or less, and there are of course countless others. Depth of talent and physical height are (fortunately) unrelated. But in closing let me say again that this is a fascinating site - clearly there is a height patrol out there actively working to expose those celebrities who insist
on farcically exaggerating their statures!

It's strange how some people shrink more than others, but I would suspect, overall, the taller you are, the more room for shrinkage. which, physcially, is true. There is more space between your discs, etc, more body to shrink. And, gravity will take a little bit bigger toll on someone who is taller. Did I spell toll right? Still doesn't explain why Clint seems to have lost so much, while others don't seem to. I think Jimmy Stewart was still pretty tall when he died, etc.
Anyway, I agree with MHouillon who thinks clint was probably 6.3 and 1/2 and rounded up. Just lines up with a lot I've heard about Clint.

I am myself 6 feet 1, and when I talked about seven years ago with Clint Eastwood we had the same height. So I think your facts are right (Thorsten Rasmussen)

I am confused.How can Clint be 185 now? Here is a pic with him and Arnie, and Clint is no more than one inch taller, and Arnie is for sure under 6'.
Does maybe Arnie wear lifts?
How someone can shrink that much, this is really amazing.

Oh, man. I said this before ! Clint rounded up his heyday-height. He was about 6'3.5 (192cm) and has shrunk to 186cm (approx. 6'1.25) these days.

Letterman has claimed both 6'2"-6'2.5" for years and used to look it next to other stars of the same height (Joe Montana, Bill Murray, Kelsey Gramer, the late John Candy, Arnold Schwarzenneger and MANY others).

He was this height when he was 25, and he still is at 71 so obviously not everyone shrinks with age...it more has to do how healthy your body is.

Clint was barely taller than James Woods in BLOODWORK. Except for John Wayne, it appears that most men do shrink a few inches after 60 or so. I do believe that Woods wears lifts. They were clearly visible in last weeks SHARK. It appears that Clint in likely in the 6'1" range these days. Still respectably
tall for a 70 plus year old man.

Wonder what it is about him that has caused such "shrinkage?" Why do some people lose so much? Poor diet and lack of physical activity can definitely do it, even when you're younger, but that sure doesn't describe Clint. Oh, I forgot to say this, too, he worked out at my gym when he was here, but I missed him. They say he worked out pretty hard.

Yes, that's my claim to fame, seeing Clint at the local Hy-Vee supermarket in my town. Last thing you'd expect, but very cool. Of course, it was big news when he and Merryl Streep were here. The movie was filmed in a town called Winterset not too far away. Imagine seeing the guy at 11:30, shopping by himself, in your hometown. Huh? Clint Eastwood? I wanted to say something, but I left him alone.
A good friend actually had lunch with him when he was here. Long story but she met some of his crew, they invited her to lunch, and there was Clint.
Tiny Tim actually moved to Des Moines for some reason before he died, then to Minneapolis. Is saw him perform a couple of times (why not?) and got his pic and autograph (the pic was with me, him and my girlfriend at the time) which I'm sure I've since thrown away.
That's the sum total of my Celebrity spotter career.

I've said this before, but I stood 10 feet away from Clint Eastwood in one of the most innocent, unassuming times you could ever imagine. A time when he was definitely not wearing lifts, had no one to impress, and was all by himself - at a local supermarket in Des Moines, IA, at 11:30 at night, when he was grocery shopping, while filming "The Bridges of Madison County. Imagine my surprise! Wearing sweats, a white t-shirt, tennis shoes, and walking around with a shopping cart. Watched him for while, saw him leaning against his shopping cart while talking to a woman, and he looked all of 6'2" to 6'3". This was early 90's and he may have lost some height by then, since he seems to be one who has lost a lot, and he was in his early/mid 60's.
Haven't met any celebrities in my life (if you don't count Tiny Tim and seeing the Ultimate Warrior work out at my gym) but if I ever got to see one, Clint was the one I would have liked to have seen. Pretty lucky.

Why could he not have been taller than Charlton Heston, Bob? Are you both of their physicians? It's been widely agreed that Eastwood has shrunk a couple of inches, so if he is only 6'1.5" now, he should be dwarfed by Robbins.

Clint certainly has the height advantage over Heston in Anthony's photo below. Keep in mind the photo is of a young and healthy Clint Eastwood back in the early 1970s (I would guess). Certainly 35 years and health issues have pulled him down to his current 6'1" or so.

Bob, your wrong on this. Clint was about 6'4'' when young. He's clearly taller than Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon, Marvin was 6'2''. Look at old photos of Clint in biographies, he towers over people. On this page there are comments from people who were shocked to see how big he was in real life when they met.I admit that he looks shorter now, 6'2'' at most and possibly less. Glenn in comments below says he saw him looking 6'4'' in the early 90s but from recent sightings guesses 6 ft. Clint had definitely shrunk with age but it must remembered he is well into his 70s.
As for the photo with Heston which I saw linked from this sight, Eastwood looks taller than Heston by an inch or more.

Worth looking at the book by Patrick McGilligan called Clint: His Life and Legend", which is an unauthorised book. Plenty of chance for those who dislike him to have a go but the comments on his height all say what a towering bloke he was in his prime. No mention of lifts, which sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. Certainly his height is obvious in Dirty Harry & films like Eiger Sanction where he eyeballs 6'4" Greg Walcott (and he is a big guy) and the equally tall Bruce M Fischer in Alactraz and City Heat, not to mention guys like George Kennedy. Age & very poor posture, which he has always had, mean he is now 6'2" max, as highlighted when he stands by Morgan Freeman.

I remember him appearing on a chat show in the UK about 20 years back (around when Pale Rider came out) called "Aspel & Company" & he absolutely towered over host Michael Aspel. In a newspaper interview a few days later he remarked "what a very large man" Eastwood was. Aspel is 5`10" & Clint looked 6 inches taller.

Reading all the comments so far, it seems most actors are exactly 2 inches shorter than "officially" listed. Come on guys; what are the chances that every actor has added exactly 2 inches to their height? My mate, who 6`4 1/4", has met Clint (around the mid 90`s) & says even then Clint was only a fraction shorter & clearly 6`4". Also, in the Dead Pool he is the same height as Neeson in a couple of scenes where they are standing & talking. He looks shorter when walking next to him because he does slouch & push his pelvis forward when walking. He will, at 75+ years old, have lost a few inches & this is common in tall people. My Grandad was noticeably shorter before he died.

I think in his prime, Eastwood was an easy 6'4. Watch him in "Dirty Harry", he looks it with ease.
As for shrinking as much as Clint have, it's not too uncommon. Whatabout I'm about say is truth: I have a great aunt who stood 5'4 in her youth, and nowadays is about 4'9. She had so many health problems that it shaved that many inches off her height. So if my great aunt can lose 8 inches by the time she's in her early 70s', Clint can lose nearly three by the time he's nearing 80.

That's not true Sam. There are so many factors as to why someone would shrink. Obvious reasons are: Osteoperosis, which usually takes off at least 2" and then we have back,neck and other surgeries, which can reduce more height, etc...

I just watched "Pale Rider" on AMC with Clint (age 55) and the 6'4" Michael Moriarty. Clint consistently looked close to an inch taller (both wearing western boots). While I am quite certain Clint never reached 6'5" even in his twenties, I think he was AT LEAST 6'4" in his prime, perhaps a half inch more.

I was sceptical of Clint being 6'4''. He doesn't look huge in films. In the spaghetti westerns he looks like a rangy 6'2'' guy. However when you look at Paint your Wagon, Eastwood is clearly taller than 6'2'' Lee Marvin by a good couple of inches. Also I've seen photos of him looking very tall. In one pic in a biography he looms over Roger Moore who was himself a fairly tall man of at least 6 ft. The difference is big like about 3 or 4 inches.
This Tim Robbins guy towers over Clint now. Certainly there is much more of a difference than their offical heights of 6'4'' and 6'5'' suggest.

Okay, maybe the angle makes Clint look a bit shorter. But its a much truer pic than the thumbnail Cantstop posted. And it does show there is no way Clint is even close to 6'4" now. I think he may have been 6'3" or possibly even 6'4" way back when, but he seems 6'1" now.

Just watched "Magnum Force", which I think is still taking place in Clint's "prime". To be honest: I think his peak-height was 192cm (6'3.5"), which he rounded up, 'cause you know... 6'4 sounds much better. Nowadays he is 187cm (6'1.5").

I believe that's a MUCH younger Clint if I'm not mistaken. Either that, or Tim was really bending the knees to appear that short. Thing is, Tim would have only had about an 1" on Clint when Clint was in his prime.

Just because Clint is Clint, I'll give him 6'4"....but then again, my Dad calls himself 6'4".....he's 6'2" I think being A Navy Masterchief adds an inch or two.....Evidence point that Clint was once 6'4".....Lets grandfather him in people.....

I think he's definitely down to about 6'1'' or 6'2'' at most these days.As someone had poined out he's an old man these days, well into his 70s so perhaps his height loss isn't surprising. These guys are captured on film in their prime and that's how we still think of them many years on.

How can he be 6' 1" now? That seems really short for somebody 6' 4" in Play Misty For Me. The guy owned the screen in every motion picture back then. Everybody was under his height.

Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite all time actors. I dont think that he was ever quite 6'4". He looked to be about 6'3.5" (without shoes)in his prime years. 6'1.5" is about right for his current height.

MArkus, he had had serious back problems and is very hunched over and his chest is caving in, probably due to osteoperosis, which is rare for men. Anyways, he's almost 80, which doesn't help. I guess keeping in shape his whole life didn't do much for him in his later years.

I've got a Clint Eastwood documentary in which he appears briefly in a scene with Rock Hudson. They are the same height. This I think proves that Clint was a genuine 6'4'' and also shows that Hudson was not the 6'6'' that some people think he was. I've got this doc. on dvd. Is it possible for me to get a freeze frame picture of this scene from the dvd and download this onto my computer? If I could do this I could email it to Rob to put up on the site if he so wishes. I'm not an expert on computers so I don't know how complicated this is to do.

Osteoperosis can also knock off 2 inches. My mom was 5'3" in her youger days and is now 5'1" (she's 60), due to osteoperosis. Let's hope it's stabilized.

You can lose over an inch after undergoing back surgery. That could account for his height loss from 2002 to 2004.

He actually looked a tiny bit taller than Jeff Daniels (6'3") in Blood Work (2002). Then in 2004 he was suddenly shorter than Morgan Freeman, a guy he used to be taller than. Who cares anyway, Clint is still the man.

Some people shrink, a lot. Others, though, don't. I had an uncle who died at 93 at the EXACT SAME height as in one of his driver's licences we found of when he was in his thirties! He always stood straight throughout his entire life and was physically very fit until the last two weeks of his life. He always walked at marching speed.:) and took the stairs by two steps at one time until he was approaching 90!

I see comments below about how he was never 6'4. Well, he was taller than Donald Sutherland and just about eye to eye with George Kennedy. Why is this a surprise that a man of 76 y/o has shrunk? My grandfather was 5'7 when he was 75, but was 5'9 in his younger days. Shortly before he passed away at age 87, he was less than 5'6. My grandmother, as do most women, shrunk a considerable amount. She was, I'm told, 5'6 but when she died at 93 was 5'0.

Back in the days of Dirty Harry he was very very tall, he was taller than everyone in that movie even bystanders! As people may of mentioned on here he is suffering from one chronic back ache and has taken him down to abot 6"1 or 2. There is a notable difference in Million Dollar Baby.

I don't know, he does look around 6'4" in a lot of old pics, or at least 6'3". There is no doubt he has shrunk. I can't see him being as tall as 6'4" John Wayne, though.

Unlike some physically big stars such as John Wayne or Charlton Heston, Clint Eastwood doesn't give an impression of huge size when on screen. You'd guess he's tall but 6'2'' say. This I think is deceiving. I think his good looks and fine features distract from his size. Not only was he sickeningly handsome when young he was also extremely tall. Most of us would settle for one of those qualities which is why we're not movie stars.

Jake, I think your wrong about Clint never being 6'4''. I've seen lots of photos of Clint where he towers over guys like Roger Moore who was 6' to 6'1'' in his prime. Also he was definitely taller than Lee Marvin in Paint your Wagon and Marvin was 6'2'' without a doubt. I also seen a clip with him in a scene with Rock Hudson and they were approx. the same height. Yeah he's smaller today 6'2'' at most I think.

Gramps- I belive you, besides i think that Larry has said a similar shrunkment for his mom too. But let's not forget that women loss mor height than man in average, also tend to suffer osteoporosis in a bigger % than men.
Larry has pointed out to a clue that might be right, if Clint has a slight hump can be due to bone tissue problems, wich are more frecuent in slight build guys
(less bone thickness). That is Clint profile, and some years back he started to
lossing weight/bulk too.

i heard women shrink more than men in their old age..ecspecially if they suffer from osteoperosis. i think its very common for a lot of men to only shrink an inch when they get older even though results can vary.
I think Clint might have been more 6'3ish in his youth, then again if he was 6'4 and lost a lot of height from back surgeries i guess that could be possible

People don't shrink more than 2", unless there is some sort of serious medical condition. My mother is middle aged and has had a lot of back problems, even back surgery but is still as tall as ever, for example.

Does anyone know if Eastwood has admitted to any health problems that could cause such a loss in height. I think 6ft3 to 6ft3.5 would be accurate for Clint back in the good old days, but now he can look just a little over 6ft. I've seen info on osteoporosis at the doc's office, and have read Larry's comments, but does Clint really show these signs. He still seems to have great posture, is in great shape for his age, doesn't seem too hunched, but seems 3 inches shorter, what gives?

Thanks Gotxo! :-) Calcification can occur in any vertebrate (even reptiles) and is caused by (usually): injury forming a protective SITE, arthritis, or a misaligned joint. The spinal colume IS a very complex hinged joint. Your friend's case IS typical. Loss of one vertebrate in most locations on the spine CAN result in the loss of an inch. It COULD occur in less time than 6 years. A vertebrae CAN be replaced with a "place-keeper" made from a spongy "block".
Sam - You say Clint has a hump? Hmmm, THAT's a sign of osteoperosis. That condition IS more common in females of European extraction who are of slight build. BUT, it DOES hit males too. Clint's been pretty skinny most of his life, but he bulked up in the 80's. Now he's skinny again & has a "caved in" look to his torsoe; that can be a sign of osteoperosis as well. I had an 80 year old aunt who had lost 5"! So, maybe...???

Larry:
I like your opinions, you show why you think something and leave space to people to form their own opinion. Yes 2'5" it's excessive, one of my frineds had to be taken several intervertebral disks and has decreased to 184-185cm from his former 187cm, this has happened continously in a slow shrinkage during a 6 year time-span. He lost at least one disk and some parts of others, the cause was calcification.Is that normal?

I must admit I resisted believing Clint had shrunk 2.5 inches in height, but these photos are "wearing me down". He DOES look 2-3 inches shorter than in his glory days as an actor. From the angle of a developmental biologist I can tell you that the MAJOR cause of height-loss in bipedal mammals is osteoporosis, followed by several varieties of spinal curvature. Sculiosis could do it, but is normally a condition that manifests in childhood. Spinal injuries that require a fusion or a removal can cause height loss. I recently had a hip replacement (& femur) due to a crash & they have been very attentive to the length of my affected limb. Part of the therapy is stretching the muscles & tendons out manually by the therapist. So, I wonder if Clint has suffered spinal problems?

The pic with Daniels is taking in a boat, so it is not the best place to compare people heights.
Eastwood was 6`4 in his prime but he looks much shorter nowadays. Around 6`1 at the most

Funny thing is although he looks a good 2 or 3 inches shorter than in his prime his posture seems unaffected. He stills stand straight and upright.

Hmm but if Tim really is 6'5 I'd say Clin is about 3 inches shorter still making him 6'2ish in his 70's. I've watched the fistfull trilogy lately and one thing that dawned on me is this, he's most famous for cowboy roles i.e. Gunsmoke, fistfull trilogy, Josey Wells, Pale Rider, Unforgiven.
Put a lean, 6'2 inch man in cowboy boots and a hat and he will appear like a 6'4 man easily. I'm not saying that he WAS only 6'2 at his peak, but I'm not totally counting it out, this is Hollywood we're talking about afterall. Personally I think this guy was atleast 6'3 though, he was a lanky dude.
