I think he is straight 170 cm. He looks at least 5 cm shorter than RDJr in marvel movies. But I assume RDJr is using lifts also in role cause in some scenes he looks almost same Height as Chris Evans.

Looks to be the exact same height as Robert Downey Jr. if not maybe even a little taller. Textbook 5'7 ½ imo.

actually reminds me a lot of my dad, similar proportions and whatnot. He measured 173 cm at age 19, and didn't measure again until age 56 in which it said 171.5 cm.

Funny seeing him face off against Lebron in Space Jam (definitely not my jam but I’m not someone who remembers the original as a quality film either), even my son noted Don’s comparative lack of stature, although most in Hollywood would get quite towered over by King James.

Cheadle always looks an inch shorter then Downey and he’s in lifts if RDJ is listed as 5’7 3/4 without his lifts then Cheadle should be 5’6 3/4 without lifts still think Howard is a better Rhodey tho

Rule of 3, if he claims 5'8.5" then he's really 5'5.5", so let's go with 5'6" or about 168cm.

Damon is a bit closer to the camera, but possibly leaning more. I'd bet Damon is 5'9.5" and Cheadle 5'7.5". A legitimate 5'10" man like Guy Pearce definitely looked taller next to Cheadle than Damon does.

Damon's footwear looks suspicious and he's closer to the camera. I think cheadle is a solid 5'7 and Damon closer to 5'8 than 5'10.

It was interesting to see Don at only 171cm...he's one actor that I never really considered on the shorter side until The Avengers when he seemed to be in line with Mark Ruffalo, another 171cm guy. I found this picture of Don and Matt Damon, Click Here, a 177-178cm guy, and you can see that there are about 6-7cm difference between the two of them in similar footwear. Don is just under Matt's hairline. I think 5-7.25 is a good estimate for Don at night.

I had a good look at Don in the film 'Reign Over Me'. He looks quite tall next to his screen wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, but I didn't know at the time of watching it that she's under 5ft! Next to Liv Tyler, however, you can see he isn't terribly tall! Liv plays his therapist and he tries to enlist her help when he bumps into an old friend who has lost his entire family in the 9/11 attacks.
The film is gut-wrenchingly sad and shows a completely different side to actor Adam Sandler, who plays his friend.
I will settle for 5ft7.25 for Don Cheadle, bearing in mind the comments below. Otherwise, I would have gone for 5ft7.75

Rob, I understand that entirely. It's just that Cruise and RDJ are notorious lift wearers, whereas a guy like Ben Stiller, who I actually think is closer to 169 cms, is not. I just don't think it would be an issue if you "overstepped your boundaries" a tad and took their reputation for lift-wearing into account when listing their heights. That's all.

Editor Rob sometimes we don't know if somebody does wear a half inch or 3/4 inch lift. It is difficult to tell for the majority. When you push it to an inch lift it can start to look more obvious.

Why is there a tendency for a lot of celebs to be laughably overlisted in the 5'8 range by Rob (e.g. Marky Mark, Tom Cruise, RDJ, Cheadle, etc.) Sure you're not getting paid off Rob? ;-)

169-170 cm flat Rob. 5'7.5 is probably Wahlbergs height. Joaquin is clearly taller than Cheadle by 3-4 cm. I think you should look this guy up.
Another doubt Rob,
Rob 171 is 5'7.25 and 5'7.5 similary 177 is 5'9.5 and 5'9.75. How do you distinguish ?

Editor Rob well 171 is 5ft 7.32, and 172 is 5ft 7.72. So 5ft 7.5 is 171.45cm, that's why it gets rounded to the 171, if it was 171.55, then the 172 would be shown, the site is showing the closest cm to the feet/inch mark.

Rob would you consider a downgrade to 5'7.5"? 5'8.5" is probably a shoe measurement. He really looked shorter than Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights. I think 5'7.5" might be more accurate.

He looked 5-9ish minimum next to Tommy Lee Jones in Volcando and he was about the same height as Adam Sandler in that movie they did together. I think he was in socks several times in the latter movie.

5'7, J.Phoenix (5'8) is taller than him and even stated in extras of Hotel Rawanda that Cheadle was only 5'7. Fantastic actor though, he's great in all his movies. I hear he's taking Howard's spot in Iron Man 2, not sure what happened with all that stuff. Both are awesome though..

If you've watched the movie "Crash" and looked at Don's shoe's it's clearly obvious that he is wearing elevator shoes in the movie, yet he still appears short. I'd say he's 5'6" max... which doesn't detract from his ability as an actor in anyway.

He is an example of why there's nothing wrong with being under six foot. Handsome, handsome man! Beautiful facial features (particularly his eyes) and carries himself with incredible grace. And his skin is just gorgeous.

lowest 172 average 173cm tallest 174cm, in the movie with Adam Sandler he does look 174cm he was completely barefoot and i'm sure no camera tricks as you see him head to toe, he just walked off the screen and looked 174cm to me.
the listing on the site is correct as he appears to be 173cm about 90% of the time, perhaps he got measured in the morning 174cm or so but we don't take into account morning height but evening averages. ;)

I saw him at the premiere of Mission to Mars, and he is not much over 5-7. He is such a good actor, that he seems bigger!

Yes - he read the script, and did the acting. He didn't physically have to morph into a 5'3" man. Watch one of the Partridge Family movies that came out years ago. The guy who played Keith has to be 6 inches taller. Hollywood.

i've seen tons of movies and i can honestly say his lowest is 173cm, that image with GLENN is a very revealing image too, also in most movies while shorter than taller actors he really doesnt look that short his legs are long and got a slim body adding to his tallness.
i buy 173-174cm with eyes closed. great guy too.

Honestly, as much as I love Don Cheadle, there is no way he is 5'8. A few friends and I went to see the premier of "Ocean's 13" this summer, and my friend Topher, who is no taller than 5'6-5'7 was very clearly taller than him by an inch or more. It's hard to imagine watching so many movies with him, but he was much smaller in person.

i love this guy, his acting is great, just finished watching his latest movie with Adam Sandler called "Reign Over me" and both look the same height, he also takes off his shoes inside Adam Sandler house in a few scenes, he looked exactly 174cm no less.
so yes, Don Chandle is 174cm
and now im starting to doubt ADAM SANDLER! i think he is 175cm.

5'8.5 sound right if he said so. He's a bit taller than Glenn in the photo.

You know Don Cheadle,is not really that short. I just got through watching,an
episode of the fresh prince.He Guest Starred on that Show,way back during it's
early episodes. He not that far from Will Smith's Height. So it's really not,
(5ft8)that short. When a man is like 5ft6 and under..now thats short. Kinda
like Carlton,of the Fresh Prince. Heh heh.

The 173 cm fits in in shoes, but it's obvious that he's under 5'8" barefoot.

How can you compare him to Danny Glover. Even a guy who is 5'10'' looks short next to him. 5'7.5''-5'8.5'' range

Editor Rob, again, he's probably 5'7". Not the best angle (and Ryan Phillipe is still listed a bit to high), but here he is with Michael Pena (left):

That is, unless Michael is 5'8", which would still make Don slightly shorter than listed.

I'm not sure about the number of inches between eyes and top of head, so everyone else be the judge. Here is Don with 5'11" Matt Dillon (even likely 5'11" in shoes the more that is coming out):

With supposed 5'8.5" Ryan Phillipe, in which Don is noticably shorter.

I suspect he's actually much closer to 5'7" than 5'8".

I have a feeling that Matt Damon wore awfully big shoes in Ocean's Eleven. That or I'm 6'1". Don with whatever shoes he had on stood about 5'9" when I saw him (that's 5'9" with his shoes on which would make him 5'8" if they weren't lifts or had big heels). I have a feeling he's more like 5'6".

he's about 5'8 max; he's substantially shorter than Matt Damon and the same height as Oprah when they both appeared on the show last yr. right after Hotel Rwanda

I wonder if there are two of him or you saw a double. Don is no more than 5'8". I've stood right next to him at parties such as for the Emmys. And I din't bother to notice what shoes he was wearing. Who knows? He could have worn lifts or shoes with big heels which are all the rage these days especially among the shorter celebs.

I see him all the time in Manhattan, the man is at least 5'10 - 5-11. I'm 5'9 and he was at least 1-2 inches taller.

Um..to correct your assumption, converse all stars, aka chucks, do have heels that are approaching 1 inch, close to 7/8 of an inch.

I found his height Rob! If you go on gettyimages.com you will find a photo of him near 5.8 Sophie Okonedo! She is in Converse All Star shoes that have no heels whereas Cheadle as at least 1 inch heel shoes and he is still 1 or 2 inches shorter than her. That means that this guy is a max of 170 cm or that Sophie is taller than 173...what do you think Rob?

From OutNow "Don Cheadle isn't really tall, at least not as tall as you think he is in his movies"
From Defamer - "On the same flight as Don Cheadle...shorter than expected"
From homicide.tv newsgroup: "having actors about the same height really keeps the director from losing his/her sanity. If you want an example of what I'm talking about, check out the wierd camera angles that surounded Don Cheadle on "Picket Fences"
