Hi @Rob, there's a recent picture on Joe Mangiello's instagram with Johnny and Morgan Freeman. I'd say he's struggling to look above 5ft8 there. What do you think?
Editor Rob
Click Here - he could be 5ft 8-9 range there, no more, although I can't make out what size of heel Joe has, but I doubt it's much more than depp's which are decent boots.

I still can't absorb the "only 5'7" Depp by the quote from random interviewer mention. That would leave Tom Cruise down to 5'5 and 3/4 base on Rob listing. The worst low i wouldn't think of under 5'8 for Depp and not below 5'6 3/4 for Tom.
Preeme said on 30/Oct/19
Funny thing is that both Mr. Cruise and Mr. Depp are probably wearing lifts in this picture above

It's amazing that an interviewer thought he was 5'7"!

My dad has a resemblance with him. I can't upload pics here idk how. Seeing him in old movies he looks 5'9-5'10

any guess about his regular weight

5'8" straight
Johan 185 cm said on 9/Aug/19
He isn't any less than 5'8.5" and 5'9" is a good shout. Just annoys me when people say " I am just xxx" and its complete and utter nonsense. A true 5'11" barefoot can look pretty tall at times and especially in a country with a 5'9.5" average like the USA.
luke archer said on 6/Aug/19
he is 5'7. I shave seen him several times and he wears very suspect footwear. once he was wearing cowboy hoots with 2+ inch heals on them and my gf at the time who is 5'9 was wearing sandals and they were the same height only his wild blow combed hair was a few inches over her head. this wa sin Hollywood..later I was a t a table next too thin in New York and he was wearing a suit with clunky shoes and was at best 5'8.5 minus the 1.5 inch heels

Well, LupeLuna, I care how tall or short people are, which is why I come to this site. In fact I tend to think it slightly immoral when a man lies about his height, especially since the lie is so easily exposed.

Anyway, name a movie where Depp played a character who should have been tall. I can't think of any myself (unless John Dillinger was tall), so it's not as if he's trying to put one over on his fans. And, if you want to tell people that you're big, don't call yourself "Johnny." That wouldn't have worked for Johnny Wayne.
LupeLuna said on 27/Jul/19
It’s amazing to me how many people are concerned with a man’s height? Who cares how tall or short you are? I seen Johnny Depp in person a few years ago, I was face to face with him I’m 5’6 I had on flat sandals and he was wearing those ugly worn out boots so he is 5’5. Although he is a shorty he still has a giant presence! Women wear heels 👠 all the time. Get over it! So what if he’s 5’5 or 5’10 we’re not paying his bills!

🎁🎂🎈 Happy Birthday Johnny!🎈🎂🎁

Wishing one of the best and most adaptable actors of today a truly fantastic 56th Birthday. He SO doesn't look his age! This guy, with a sense of humour which shows through in a great many of his roles, (when necessary), is the star of many of my all time firm favourite films, including 'Donnie Brasco', in which he stars with Al Pacino.

Johnny gets a Birthday guess of 5ft9.25.

I hate to break it to you guys in the comment section...but Johnny definitely not 5’9 not even 5’7. I met him at a London premiere for one of his movies..let’s just say i’m 5’7 and was pretty much looking down on him lol. My guess is 5’6! Great actor though.

@tree: I've seen some memorable battle of the lifts/big heels before. Often times Robert Downey Jr. is involved one way or the other. Cruise always wears lifts these days, but I think Depp is a bit more of a thick shoe/boot guy rather than internal lifts. He's probably worn them for some film roles, though.
tree said on 13/Dec/18
Imagine Depp thinking hard should i wear my 2 or 3inch boosters,i have the 4 incher big don boots i am in the mood today.

Rising - 174 cm said on 8/Dec/18
He does have about 2 cm or an inch on Cruise in the photo above, but cowboy boots do not add 3". A typical cowboy heel would be about 1.75". Tom's elevator boots probably add a little over 2" there.

Funny comment i mean we compare how much height there in lifts,big boots,incorprated fake heels etc give lol

It could be a game show there shoes have hiden heels,or lifts,gues swho has more 'stacked' footwear xddd

Johny dep always wearing clown shoes but still same height as tom cruise

To be honest he's 170cm morning and that's generous.
Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Nov/18
@Peter: Tom has elevator boots there so I'm fairly certain they add more than Johnny's cowboy boots. For one, Tom's knees are higher. Also, you can see the angle from the side and they appear to have that bulge around the laces: Click Here and notice the illusion he's tip-toeing in some shots when he's really not: Click Here That design is pretty typical for a moderate elevator boot. I'd guess he gets somewhere around 5.5 to 6 cm actual height. With that said, I tend to agree Johnny is probably a bit shy of 5'9" and we can compare to Jerry Bruckheimer who is a solid 5'7" and wearing normal shoes. Or, look at Johnny with 5'3.5" Heather Langenkamp: Click Here Click Here Both wore sneakers in the film and was Johnny any more than 5" taller? Also, it would be useful to know Jsu Garcia's height. He seemed quite a bit bigger than Johnny, but I think he's above average height.
Peter175 said on 16/Nov/18
He's barely over an inch on tom with a bigger boot

C'mon this guy is the weakest 5'9 of all time. Leonardo dwarves him even when he was still growing

@oliviadare: I believe your sighting, but if this is the London premiere you attended then Johnny was actually wearing boots: Click Here Those look to add at least 3 cm range to me or 1.2"-1.4" so probably more 5'8.75" barefoot. I have heard he's a nice guy in person and I'm sure he'd measure over 5'9" earlier in the day.
QM6'1QM said on 28/Jun/18
Oh, 5'11 is too tall for him. I think even the ardent fans understand this. No doubt, he is not more than 175 cm.
oliviadare said on 23/Jun/18
I think this listing is pretty spot on. I’d guess he’s in the 5’8.75”-5’9.25” range. I met him back in 2011 at the Rum Diary premiere in London. He’s such a nice guy, he talked to each fan for at least a few minutes. When he was talking to me, I noticed we were almost the exact same height. I consider myself usually 5’9” on the dot, but have measured 5’9.25” in the morning and 5’8.75” at night before. He was maybe half an inch to an inch taller than me tops. He was in dress shoes with an estimated 1 inch heel and I was in flat boots with a half an inch heel. The premiere was in the evening. I’d say he’s also 5’9” on the dot but could measure over or under depending on the time of day.
Canson said on 9/Jun/18
Agreed Rising. Strong 5’8 probably
Rising - 174 cm said on 6/Jun/18
He does look anywhere from 5'9"-5'9.5" in those 2 photos if Benedict is 5'11.5", but he definitely looks to have thicker shoes as they appear to have a platform like the shoes he's wearing in the photo to the right at the top of the page. But 181 cm does sound possible for Benedict as well since Rob has seen him looking around 5'11" so that would make Depp 176 cm max even with the footwear advantage. I doubt Depp has lost height too. He could look 5'8" range with Pacino in the 90's and he looked 5-8ish with my friend in the 90's. I'd expect him to be more of a 5'8.75", maybe 5'8.5" guy without the thicker footwear.
Tunman said on 4/Jun/18
If anything he looks 176 with Benedict but his shoes are like a solid 1cm thicker so about 175,perhaps 174-5at worst if Benedict is more 181
Actually he always looked around 175 although there are many instances where he was pushing over 5'9 especially in Pirates of the Caribbean.I think he's the kind of actor who likes to wear thicker shoes.Obviously his 5'11 claim is unrealistic.
Celebs are shorter than you think said on 2/Jun/18
Here’s some recent photos of him with women he met in Russua. Most women are 5’4” right? Caucasian women, so I’d say 5’7 or 5’8” tops.

Tom Cruise is listed at 5’ 7.5”. If you look at the photo above of them standing side by side Depp looks only about an inch taller than Tom. However, if you take a closer look Depp is wearing heels that are about an inch or more higher than Tom’s. I say Depp is a bout 5’ 7”.
Isaac 5'10 said on 28/Jan/18
Bad posture and small head definitely make him seem shorter, I wouldn't rule out 176-177cm. But a full 5'11" is out of the question.
Jake94 (5'9 said on 10/Jan/18
Solid 5'9", bad posture can make him look shorter at times.
Bobby said on 7/Jan/18
In the first Pirates of the Caribbean, he's as tall as Orlando Bloom, but he was probably wearing big boots to appear that tall. From his proportions though, he didn't strike me as being particularly tall. I thought perhaps he'd be 5'8-5'9 in stature.

Doug Stanhope (far left in the white shirt) is 5’7 and he looks no shorter than Johnny Depp in this photo. I’d honestly give Johnny 5’8 max.

Journalists are known for under exaggerating height especially when the person is small like Depp 5'8 and 145 to 165 is what I would give him

@Dublin guy: I agree completely. I don't understand how he can stand next to Tom Cruise who everyone knows is quite short and comfortably claim 5'11. I would honest guess him around 5'8.5 max if Cruise is around 5'7.5-75.

Strong 5'8-weak 5'9. About 174-175.

Rising - 174 cm said on 20/Nov/17
Nino: Cruise should get about 2.3" out of those boots with the lift inside and he looks like a roughly 5'8.5" man in them compared to 171 cm Jerry Bruckheimer who has typical 1" type shoes as Cruise is 1"-1.5" taller than Bruckheimer at most. So at most Cruise would measure 177 cm in them and that may be generous, especially since he's likely standing better than Bruckheimer. As for Depp, if he were 5'9.5" then with cowboy boots like that which add 1.6" then he'd be over 5'11" and that's clearly not the case as it'd make him 3" taller than Bruckheimer. In reality, Depp only looks about 2" taller than Bruckheimer at best meaning Depp would probably measure around 5'10" IN cowboy boots. Definitely not barefoot. Johnny is closer to 5'8.5" barefoot, imo. Maybe just under 5'9".
Nino said on 14/Nov/17
BTW cruise lifts up to 174 maybe 175 even176 is possible Jonny should be 5.11 with those boots. I'd go with 5.10 barefoot or at least 5.9.5

Rising - 174 cm said on 2/Oct/17
Depp probably is 174 cm, but he could be 174.5 cm as well. Pine at 184 cm makes sense. If you look at Pine next to Colin Farrell, he looks 3" taller, which suggests Pine rounded down from 6'0.5" to 6' while Colin rounded up from 5'9.5" to 5'10". it's interesting to see what two people rounding can do to throw off a height difference. Both were being relatively honest with their claims yet it made a 3" difference sound like 2".

173 cm is pushing it for Depp, though. He did look around that with my friend and Pacino, but Johnny can slouch at times.
Slim said on 26/Sep/17

Rising - 174 cm said on 16/Sep/17
Donnie Brasco is my favorite, but then Al Pacino is the greatest actor to me and is the outstanding performance of the film, imo, but Depp is great as well with a more subtle performance and less eccentric character than many of his others. Blow was very good as well and Edward Scissorhands is a classic. While it's certainly one of Depp's least challenging roles and not among his best performances, if we're speaking more of the film than his acting, Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the true classics of its genre so he can at least stake claim to a big role in another great film. The most recent Depp film I've seen was The Tourist, which from what I hear is more indicative of where his career has gone as opposed to a pretty stellar career prior. Other than that, the only other of the films he starred in during the last decade I've seen was Public Enemies, which I saw once in theaters. That was certainly much better than The Tourist. I only saw the first Pirates film and I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow, but in general, I'd say he had a solid first 20-25 years with the occasional turkey.

As for height, 5'8.75" is more the higher end I'd guess him at. Between platforms like this: Click Here and boots like this: Click Here Depp is fond of footwear in the 1.5"-1.75" range, which could account for him looking a more solid 5'9" or even 5'9.5" at times. But when you see him looking not even 3" taller than a weak 5'6" Al Pacino at times, it's difficult to rule out 5'8.5", imo: Click Here

Jay da 5'9 said on 3/Sep/17
Wow, thought this guy was a lot taller! In movies he looked at least 5'11 but when I see pictures of him on the red carpet he doesn't look near that height. That's the illusion of movies I guess.
Rising - 174 cm said on 31/Aug/17
That's actually a good pic, but look at Cohen's head. He's not standing as straight as Depp above the waist. He looks 6" taller there, but I'd give Cohen the 6'3" he claims as he looked shorter than Conan O'Brien who I assume is about 6'3.5". So Depp looks 5'9" there to me if we consider posture a wash, but look at Depp's boots -- thick with a big heel.

But look at this event where Depp's thick boots give him a clear advantage over Cohen's sneakers: Click Here Click Here

SBC clearly has worse posture there, but even with his lean and less footwear, he still makes Depp look about 174 cm, imo, or the average guess(174.5) if SBC is 191 cm as Rob has him. Depp looked 175 cm with Cohen at the People's Choice Awards -- at least in this pic: Click Here -- but had boot advantage again: Click Here

In general, I'm not as confident trying to peg exact differences between people 6-7 inches apart since the taller man can drop more height than you'd think, but I'll try to look up videos when I have time, which may tell us just how much SBC toweras Depp. Regardless, I'm convinced Depp is 5'8.5", or at best, 5'8.75" and his fondness for thick boots would have people insisting he was 5'7" max if they applied the standard they do with Brad Pitt. But in all seriousness, the type of boots he's worn in these pictures will give him at least a fraction advantage over a lot of other shoes and boots.

Tyler Durden said on 2/Aug/17
Anyone have an idea what size head Johnny depp has? Like he appears to have a small head, yes? I was trying to get his glasses, the MOSCOT Lemtosh, he wears 44mm, but I think his head is significantly smaller than mine (I have a 22 & 1/2 inch head which is right between MEDIUM and LARGE for hat sizes). Seems like he has a small head/hat size with even smaller facial features, so 44mm glasses like his might look too tiny on my bigger head/facial features.
Rising - 174 cm said on 1/Aug/17
@Slim: Yeah, I think he just happened to put his foot on its side for some reason. I caught myself a few times going up on my toes for pictures and it honestly wasn't to try to look taller, it was just a nervous habit standing still waiting for a photo to be taken. And yeah, Cruise isn't 173 cm. Those boots probably give Tom 6 cm with the lifts inside - about as big as I've seen him wear - and you can also note Cruise still has only 1"-1.5" on 171 cm Jerry Bruckheimer who was normal flat shoes. But Depp's boots will give him a minimum 4 cm, so Tom would probably look about as tall as Depp in normal shoes. Tom can look like a 174-175 cm guy at times, but then again, a 70 year old Sly Stallone can still look a good 178, possibly 179 cm when he wears lifts and he's 174 cm these days, imo, arguably even a strong 173 so Tom isn't that tall.

@Anthony: I agree, he looks 174. 175 is going to look taller with Pacino, who is lucky if he scraped 5'6".
Anthony said on 29/Jul/17
Always gives me a 174cm impression. Certainly not more.
Slim 182 cm said on 29/Jul/17
@Risingg, I incorrectly guessed his brown boots were stuffed with internal heels. Hence the weird position of the leg, it's likely he stood on the side of his foot for more height or some weird reason, overall, he's just a boot wearer, no internal/external heels like others.

Yes, weak 5'9 is a decent guess for Depp. so is 5'9.

That 5'11 claim makes me wanna 🤢

I've come to the conclusion that celebs in 5'9-5'10 range claim 5'11 and celebs in the 5'11 range claim 6' or 6'1.

Rise, if Depp is 174.5 then cruise in lifts failed to edge out Depp ruling out 173 impossible for cruise.
Rising - 174 cm said on 28/Jul/17
@Slim: Which photo? I don't see any lifts, just 1.7" cowboy boots with Cruise and Bruckheimer and platforms with Amber Heard that probably add at least that much. Now Cruise fits your description as those lifts are basically pushing him up on his toes (i.e., the Diesel effect).

I think Depp is more 5'8.5" honestly. He looked a weak 5'8" in my friend's photo as I said and his posture really wasn't bad. I saw a photo of myself with this same friend and I could look taller than Depp did, though my friend was leaning with me and not with Depp. Depp honestly looked a weak 5'8" in the Donnie Brasco premiere photo I posted with Al Pacino as well. I'm not saying he's that short, but you notice that even with cowboy boots, he only looks 2" taller than Bruckheimer who is a solid 5'7" or 171 cm. That would make Johnny 5'10.25" in cowboy boots, while a 5'9" guy would be closer to 5'11" than 5'10", but a 5'8.5" guy would be a bit over 5'10" in cowboy boots. The average guess is actually exactly 174.5 cm and personally, I think that'd be better as it would put him weak 5'9" range.
Slim 182 cm said on 24/Jul/17
it's come to the point that we all agree on 5'9 for Depp, and you could disable the comments, nobody would criticise the decision.
Slim 182 cm said on 21/Jul/17
In the top left photo, his lifts were so massive, his feet fell out of the shoe.
even said on 20/Jul/17
hes exactly 175 cm .
Slim 182 cm said on 17/Jul/17
I assume when he wears normal shoes etc 2cm sole, he slips 3 cm lifts in them, so 180 in shoes, and that's why he gets away with his 5'10 claim.
Rising - 174 cm said on 16/Jul/17
Slim, I was responding to JC1994. I don't know if he knows metric or not. Perhaps he meant an extra 1.5 cm(5/8 of an inch) over normal shoes? I agree with 5'9" for Depp, though.
Slim 181 cm said on 15/Jul/17
5'9 max for Depp it is.
Slim 181 cm said on 15/Jul/17
Okay man, just say 1.5 cm from now on.
Slim 181 cm said on 14/Jul/17
Depp and pitt are wearing lifts 24/7, it's no secret, as 175-180 are not tall these days, 6'0 or 6'1+ is tall, so they feel insecure being shorter than other man and wear lifts.

I'm a nutshell they desperately want to dominate/hold their own(heightwise of course) agianst tall men.
RisingForce said on 14/Jul/17
Converse themselves only give about 5/8ths of an inch.
JC1994 said on 13/Jul/17
@slim 181cm
He was wearing work boots that have the same amount as my boot those work boots usually give 5/8ths of an inch and Leonardo dicaprio was probably wearing tennis shoes I'll tell you this I'm 5'9" myself and when I wear those boots they would make me appear 5'10" guys that I know that are 5'10" flat when wearing converses would pretty much eye to eye with me depp definitely would be appear 5'9" 1/2

Leo looked a strong 5'10 in "what's eating Gilbert grape" tbh, and yes I'm sure Depp MIGHT have worn elevating shoes in "public enemies". yes, he may of, to match up to 5'11.5-6'0 Christian bale. And in Gilbert grape he did look 5'9.5 but it MAY have been lifts.
Slim 181 cm said on 13/Jul/17
174-176 for sure. Most will agree on this.
Slim 181 cm said on 13/Jul/17
RisingForce, everything is possible, remember? 176 is higher on my chances than yours. But I do honestly believe Depp has a higher chance of being a strong 5'9 rather than being a 5'8.5 and definitely a higher chance of 177 than 173. At 17 years old, he was still taller than Depp. So as for him and machio being late bloomers I can agree on.
RisingForce said on 12/Jul/17
I'd have to go look to say for sure, but I doubt DiCaprio was even 5'11" when he made "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" since he grew late during the mid 90s, iirc, much like Ralph Macchio went from not even 5'8" to 5'8.5" in the mid to late 80s. I have little doubt DiCaprio is currently 5'11"-5'11.5"m but I don't think he was back then. I'd say Depp is 5'9" max, but could look taller with thick footwear, which he often wears.
Slim 181 cm said on 12/Jul/17
Johnny Depp is 5'9.25 max, looked it next to 5'11.5 max DiCaprio in "what's eating Gilbert grape". And he held his own compared to 5'11.75 listed Christian Bale in "public enemies"
Slim 181 cm said on 9/Jul/17
Weak 5'9 is plausible.
RisingForce said on 7/Jul/17
As for Depp and Cruise, well Depp looks anywhere from 1-2 cm taller that day depending on posture: Click Here Click Here But Tom's boots and lifts give him a noticeable advantage even over Depp's 1.7" cowboy boots so probably at least 2.3" as Tom nearly looks like he's on his toes in Rob's photo, so at worst, I think Depp has to be an inch taller than Tom, who I think is 5'7.5" barefoot. But as I said, a better reference is Bruckheimer, who doesn't have lifts or heels. I give Johnny 5'8.5" or 5'8.75". He can look a flat 5'8" with loose posture. Remember this full photo I posted a few months back of Depp and Al Pacino: Click Here Pacino likely wasn't more than a weak 5'6" and it's not impossible he had shrunk a bit by that time as he was 56-57 years old.
Slim 181 cm said on 7/Jul/17
@Lanaka, 5'9??? More like 5'8.5. 😂
No seriously if ray liota is 5'11.5 than Depp is 5'8.5 given that ray was 3 inches taller than Depp during "Blow". But he's still 5'9 in the mornings though.
Depps height during the day:

Morning 5'9
Evening 5'8.5
Night 5'8.25

@lanaka, in case you don't already know, @Editor Rob only lists afternoon heights... otherwise all celebs would be listed half inch taller.
Lanaka said on 7/Jul/17
Johnny really does look to be 5'9 range! At least to me!

Still believe he falls inbetween 5"8 to 5"8.75
Slim 181.5 cm said on 6/Jul/17
after seeing him next to tom cruise 🚢 I'd give a 5"8.5 downgrade, even Rob admitted he'd look OVER 2 inches shorter than 5"11 listed Todd Lowe
Depp is 5"8.75 max in the evening. I knew there was something wrong about being listed 178 on google just like Jude law was 182....
even said on 5/Jul/17
hes five foot nine hes as tall as me
RisingForce said on 4/Jul/17
A good point of reference there is Bruckheimer. Depp looks 2" max taller than Bruckheimer, imo, even in 1.7" cowboy boots, while Bruckheimer seems to be in normal 2.5-3 cm shoes. Johnny Depp is actually one of the few near 5'9" guys to not only look no taller than Mario Lopez, but even a bit shorter: Click Here Even not not quite 5'9" guys like Jason Statham and a 50+ year old Jean-Claude Van Damme look taller than Mario. Funny thing is Mario and Johnny both claim 5'11" while in reality, I think both are 5'8.5". I had believed Depp was at least 5'9" too, but I swear he looked a flat 5'8" in my friends pic taken when Depp was far too young to have lost anything.
Mark(5'9.5") said on 4/Jul/17
5'11"? Rob, as much as I wouldn't claim 5'11", this isn't as bad as Chris Jericho claiming 6'0"!! 😂😂😂
Mark(5'9.25 said on 3/Jul/17
I wouldn't dare to claim 5'11" even if I was taller than Depp by a bit more than a cm.

Rob, I wouldn't go lower than 5'9", but 5'11"? Makes a solid to big 5'9"er like me puke 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Editor Rob
yeah, I'd love for Johnny Depp to meet an honest bloke like Todd Lowe in person, wearing his own cowboy like that time he met Cruise....he'd daren't say 'I'm 5ft 11 too' in Todd's presence, he'd look over 2 inches smaller probably...
RisingForce said on 1/Jul/17
"Weak" and "if that" may be the key words. He doesn't look much more than 5'8" recently with 5'7" Jerry Bruckheimer: Click Here Depp didn't have cowboy boots like above, but I think he still had boots.

He can definitely pull off over 5'9", but he's worn some seriously thick footwear at times. First time I noticed it was back at the 2009 Bahamas Film Festival: Click Here Click Here Then following year at the Berlin photocall for The Tourist: Click Here At the Tourist Madrid premiere as well: Click Here Then pretty good pair of platform shoes more recently with Amber Heard: Click Here

If he's 55 in age and close to his 60s almost chances are if you listed him at his current height maybe when he was in his younger years he could of been 176 cms this might be the case rob.
S.J.H said on 20/Jun/17
Since he was describe being atually at 5'7 then he might be just 5'7 barefoot or 5'7.5 and wear lift all the time. Should have custom made lift's from 2.25 to 3' range
Mr S said on 13/Jun/17
If anybody says "Only 5'11" chances are that they aren't. 5'11" is above average, or at least a strong average, in most Countries. Therefore a genuine 5'11" guy wouldn't say "only" as if it was a really short height.
James said on 9/Jun/17
I don't think Depp is over 5ft 8in and most likely closer to 5ft 7inches. In A nightmare on elm street john Saxon has a good two or three inches on him. Saxon was probably still in the five feet ten range at that time. Depp was wearing sneakers and being new to Hollywood probably wasn't concerned with wearing lifts as he probably does today.

I can't buy 176 cm for Depp, except maybe the morning. He didn't exactly look tall with Pacino. Just look at what a 5'9.5" guy like James Caan looked like with Pacino or even a 5'8.75" Marlon Brando. A photo I saw of Depp with my friend from the 90s made him look like a 5'8" guy! I think a 5'8.5" guy who can look taller with his build and at times, footwear, but also look a bit shorter when he slouches.

5'8 for deep
RisingForce said on 9/May/17
Seeing a friend's pic with him, I think 5'9" could be generous. When you think about it, Depp looks an inch and a half taller than 5'7" Bruckheimer above, maybe 2 inches max if he didn't have the slight lean, but Depp's cowboy boots give him a half inch advantage over Bruckheimer's shoes, so that would suggest Depp at no taller than 5'8.5", which I can buy, though I would normally expect Cruise to look at least 5'8.5", if not 5'9" with the lifts he has there and Depp does edge him by maybe near 2 cm. How tall does Depp look here with Scorsese? Click Here Click Here Is Scorsese 5'3" now or was that his peak height? I only see 5'8" range with a 171 cm or 5'7.5" max De Niro: Click Here Click Here and here: Click Here 5'8" Ice Cube was actually taller in 2 pics from that same night, but closer to the camera than Depp. I think Johnny's footwear from cowboy boots to the small platforms he wears and some years back, potential elevators with Sean Connery can maybe account for his fluctuating height.
Giorgi said on 9/May/17
"Only 5'11" from a 5'9 guy? Wow, it feels good that Johnny Depp can as well be pathetic sometimes.

delancey said on 25/Apr/17
I think he's fallen into the 5'8 range these days. I still buy some sort of 5'9 for his youth though. To my eyes he looked 175/176 cm in his roles in the 90's.
RisingForce said on 21/Apr/17
Depp is taller than Cruise, but you're right it's an inch max, but Cruise has bigger footwear since Depp only has cowboy heels while Cruise has lifts in his boots (note how Tom's knees are higher and the angle of his foot steeper). Depp's boots add maybe 1.6" while Tom's probably add 2.3". Interestingly, 5'7" Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't measure up too poorly to them considering he has the least footwear.
The_Force_Is_Strong_With_This_One said on 19/Apr/17
He seems about level with Tom Cruise with similar boots. Maybe an inch taller at most.
RisingForce said on 13/Apr/17
He could certainly look under 5'9" with Pacino: Click Here Pacino has better posture and is a bit closer, but Depp looks surprisingly short there. He didn't really looked tall next to Pacino in Donnie Brasco the way many average height guys can. Both had similar heeled boots.

Cruise has really big elevator boots there, at least 2.25" looking at the angle of his foot and how high his knees are compared to Depp who has 1.5" heels himself. 5'7" Jerry Bruckheimer is the best reference there. I use to Depp was 5'9.5", but now I think he's a weak 5'9" max. Cruise is about 5'7.5" barefoot, almost certainly in the 171-172 cm range.

Sally (5'11 said on 28/Feb/17
I don't know Johnny Depp's height. But I do know the casting director from Public Enemies went to great lengths to give Depp the illusion of height. Public Enemies was partially filmed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which is a commutable distance from my home. The casting director put out a call for local police officers/sheriff's deputies to be extras in the movie. One requirement was the officers/deputies had to be under 5'10". This eliminated at least half of the potential extras because this region of Wisconsin has a large population of people of German, Dutch, and other northern European ethnicity.
Bobby said on 27/Feb/17
@Daniel, I am 5'10.25, but pretty much just 5'10 flat the whole day, I am hoping to grow another inch or so and plateau at 5'11, or even 5'11.5. I grew a quarter of an inch this summer, and Rob says it's perfectly natural for me to claim 5'10 even though I fall a fraction under in the evening at 5'9.75, since it's only a difference of 6 millimeters.

Funnily enough, I am perceived as being much taller than I am actually am. Like four inches taller.
Bobby said on 27/Feb/17
I am 5'10, and Depp doesn't have the presence that a 5'10 person would have, I always thought he was in reality, closer to 5'8 or thereabouts. That's how tall he appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean, very average height.

Some folk here need to calm down a bit.. Downgrading a person's (alleged or simply inflated) height should not be conflated to 'hating' or 'jealousy'-at least not within a sensible, rational, and free-speaking world. Johnny Depp simply looks-and actually is-shorter than 5ft10-6ft. Nothing more, nothing less. Live with it and 'Peace Out'. It's not as if your livelihood or income will be emended reliant upon some celebrity's high or low height/stature.. We're just here to 'kill' some time. Just chill..

BTW, Rob, since Johnny D is listed as circa 5ft9, perhaps Alan Cumming requires a downgrade as he's clearly shorter than Johnny D.

I couldn't agree more that Johnny comes over as a lot taller!
Not that it bothers me! I think he's great! I prefer him in his more sensible roles. My favourites are 'Donnie Brasco', 'the Ninth Gate', 'Dead Man', 'Sleepy Hollow' and 'Sweeney Todd', but I have at least 16 of them to choose from!
What really made me like him as a person was finding out that he was a mega-fan of 'The Fast Show' and had made many copies (even for his Mum!) and would never go away to make a film without taking his 'Fast Shows' with him to cheer himself up! I even know he said "arse!" to Paul Whitehouse, who was very amused and gave him a part in 'The Last Fast Show Ever' as a long-haired American gentleman who walks into the 'Suit You' store to be measured up for a suit! Magic! Actually, Johnny even looked tall in that sketch!

Johan, 60kg range is very skinny for a 5'9" guy (unless they're 5% bodyfat and muscular). I'm 5'9.5" (177cm) and 76-77kg (170lbs) at 16-17% bodyfat and I'm considered slim/lean by all people. Some say I'm small-built. I could buy 175cm-176cm for Depp. He's not under 5'8.5.

I know plenty of guys who are 65 kg or so and 175 cm. Yes its thin but not super thin. I have a friend who is 181 cm and 66 kg thats thin :)

I would say your in that average range yourself, not thin or overweight or anything. Most regular guys I see who are 180 cm weigh in the 82-84 kg range.

True Johnny has gained weight recently but for example in the above pic with Cruise, thats not over 70 kg.

Pics and film make people look heavier as well, how many times have you heard someone say how skinny a celeb is?

I saw a few politicians here during my work and on Tv one of them looks quite fat. In person he was overweight but not really fat and also much smaller than I expected.

Johan, 60kg range is very skinny for a 5'9" guy (unless they're 5% bodyfat and muscular). I'm 5'9.5" (177cm) and 76-77kg (170lbs) at 16-17% bodyfat and I'm considered slim/lean by all people. Some say I'm small-built. I could buy 175cm-176cm for Depp. He's not under 5'8.5.
Strong 5ft9 said on 13/Sep/16
Rob, which do you think he is most likely. A weak 5'9" or a strong 5'9"?
Editor Rob
at times I can appreciate both, hence why I've kind of kept him around 5ft 9 flat.
Koos said on 31/Aug/16
No more than 5'8 at the most. Cruise is only around 5'7.
Wipeout said on 31/Aug/16
Peak height: 5'9.25
Now (2016): 5'8.75
manny said on 6/Aug/16
All I'm gonna say is cruise is wearing elevators 2" and I mean he is supposed to be 5'7 but I would say Johnny was 5'10 seriously in the day he's getting older now and 5'9 is prob accurate but who knows only Johnny himself maybe
Felix said on 29/Jul/16
Seems to be a weak 5'9". So I'd put him around 5'8.75".
Verona Rios said on 26/Jul/16
His driver's license states 5'10 and we know he's not really that tall. Provided that, d's licenses are not a trustful source.
Pirate said on 19/Jul/16
He's got to be 5'7, in cry baby he looks the same height as Willem Dafoe where he is bare foot and he only looks 5'9 when he wears those boots with 2 inches heel

5' 9" looks accurate for Depp.
Horror said on 14/Jul/16
He looks like 5'7" next to willem dafoe
Shredder said on 13/Jul/16
It was just a height that was reported on a sheet. Doesn't mean a measurement
Wipeout said on 12/Jul/16
@ Shredder

Reference please??? I know he is actually 5'9 because I was in the same movie as him and saw the casting posts.
James c said on 9/Jul/16
I would cut him some slack, he did also he didn't know. 5'11" is an popular height too claim, when nobody knows their height. Though I'm 5'9" myself, and out of all the celebs he looks easily my height. Though i think tom hardy might edge me out, Rob said he thought Tom Hardy looked closer too 5'10" when he met him, but again I seen Hardy near inaminate objects look my height. Though the weird thing is some of the guys that are listed 5'9.25 an height I used to think I was look like they could be 5'9.75 though again it's not that far away there's guys that are 5'8" Ho look portion ally similar too someone that's 6'2"

Police report gives 5'10 175 lbs.
Johan said on 11/Jun/16
Editor Rob: I try to stick to heights on here...I don't know if Depp has put on a few pounds to take him nearer 200, I would be surprised.

Yes I can accept that for sure and its also a sensitive subject as in the US apparently a man is guilty until proven innocent!

It just was very surprising to me how people will exaggerate things like Height/Weight and other factors when it suits their purpose. I would be very surprised if Johnny is anything more than 75kilo even with weight gain.

@Mat - He probably got creeped out by big G :)
Johan said on 9/Jun/16
What do you think Rob about all the accusations flying at Depp?

I read an article today where a friend of his soon to be ex -wife describes him as being almost 90 kilogram compared to her 60 kilogram. Completely destroys the credibility of her friend's testimony as she is already grossly exaggerating the facts. At 5ft 9 he weighs probably also 60 kilo range or at most 70.

I weigh around 90 kilo and am 10 cm taller and look far bigger than Depp does.

James C said on 4/Jun/16
5'11" is an go to height when 5'9" or even 5'8" guys don't know their height. Funny thing is 5'10" claimed guys that I know look comfortably taller then a lot 5'11" claimed guys and I mean claim. Like I work in customer service their was one guy who claimed 5'11" and when I go out to the lobby he seemed perfectly eye to eye with me though I wear boots sometimes so he could be an half inch taller then me. Then one day I felt short, an older gentlemen was like I'm 5'11" then he stood next to me and he was like your 6'0" and we looked in the mirrior my eyes where over his eyebrows. I have an friend who claims he is 6'0" funny thing is when we where 16 he claimed 5'11" then without getting measured he was like I grew now I think I'm 6'0" now. He is my height and is built like me were both 5'9" I don't think he knows his height. Though who knows at an urgent care center I've been measured at 5'10" 1/2 and I know that's not my height bc I ve been measured at 5'8" 1/2 at the military entrance processing and on an school day when I was younger where I didn't do much I get measured at the doctors at 5'9" 1/2 and on an day I do a lot I get measured at 5'9" when I was in the navy for only four weeks I have hypertension. I was on an airplane for seven hours, when we landed I did laid in an recliner for an few hours at an ymca place, I woke up and two hours later we sat criss cross apple sauce for an hour or more then we get on an bus that's like maybe 15 too 30 minutes then we walked for in awhile this is evening at 7 o clock I get clocked in at 5'9" they where like 69. And I check my height a lot and help from others I'm measured between 5'9" and 5'10" all the time the lowest being 5'8" 7/8ths and the highest being about 5'10" and I had an stadiometer like robs and I was measured either at 5'9 1/4 or just bout 5'9" depending on the day.

@RZ
What you mean by "measure in a job interview"?

Are you saying the interviewers measured you?
RZ said on 1/Jun/16
@175 cm, Ah ok! People should really not go by driver's licenses by the way. A cop once asked if I was 178-180cm (he was behind a desk but still) and I could've easily just gone with yes or similar to that and he'd fill that in. Pretty weird.

Especially considering I'm exactly 170cm. (Measured in 2010 in a job interview haha)
Orlando said on 31/May/16
"I'm not the biggest guy in the world by any means -- I'm only five-foot-eleven" -- Only 5' 11"?! That's 1.80 m and by any standards that's average tall. LOL These Hollywood stars can be quite comical and blantly insincere about their heights. No way he's 5' 11". More like 5' 8"... His legs look short. People just have to check him next to Al Pacino to get real!
Editor Rob
another time depp claimed not to know his height.
Sam said on 30/May/16
I saw him live yesterday with his band. Didn't really strike me as a tall guy. Rather short, but not very short. Maybe around 5'9 at most.
RZ said on 29/May/16
Who fills in these kind of things and how? Since they list him as 5'10* Restraining order: Click Here
realheight said on 26/May/16
5'9" peak.
5'8"-5'8.5" now.
Mat said on 23/May/16
Rob, do you think Depp could be slightly over or slightly below 5'9?
Editor Rob
at times he looks 5ft 9 plus or minus a fraction, I think around 5ft 9 is still an ok shout for him.
Mat said on 23/May/16
totally agree with truth

when a 5'9 guy lies he says '' I'm only 5'11'' (another recent example would be Wesley Snipes, exact same quote)
when a 5'10 guy lies he says ''I'm not short, I'm 5'11''
when a 5'11 guy lies he says ''I'm tall, I'm 6 feet''
truth said on 15/May/16
If a person says "only" and "5ft11" it is most likely that said person is embellishing their height by at least 2 inches.
John said on 5/May/16
Rob. I was measured with Seca Stadiometer and got 1cm taller than the wall measurement with aerosol can like you did. Which one is more precise?
Editor Rob
your wall/floor might be off by several mm if you got that much difference. If the place you put the stadiometer on looked flat and you faced it (so the rod didn't bend) then go with stadiometer (but take 1/8th inch off that).
James B said on 3/May/16
Rob Apparently depp has an estate near where I live. Rumour has it he went to my local towns carnival in disguise with a moustache LOL.
Editor Rob
to be fair, being a top a-lister brings a level of security and trickery that we don't need to bother with.

A guy like Cruise for instance on some sets would have 2 other doubles...so you have these 3 cars come to set, then after shooting the 3 cars with cruise in one and 2 doubles in other going away. Crazy, but then, maybe for some they feel it necessary.
Carl said on 4/Apr/16
So Rob, I'm a little over 5' 9.25" out of bed in the morning, and usually hit 5'9" flat before bed at night, though I can often sink a little under the 5'9" mark if my back had a hard day. Would it be more honest to claim 5'9" flat or a weak 5'9"?
Editor Rob
these questions are best suited to the rob paul page ;)
I'd just go with 5ft 9 if you only drop a little under. If you dropped to 5ft 8.5 or 8.25 and claimed 5ft 9 then a proportion of people who were quite honest themselves might realise you weren't 5ft 9.

As for Depp, at times you could argue he fell into a weak or strong 5ft 9.
MaskDeMasque said on 3/Apr/16
I think he's in the 5'8.75-5'9 zone. He looks 5'9 range in most of his films.
Wipeout said on 22/Mar/16
Ron said on 8/Feb/16

In his 20s? 150-155 lbs tops. He's a 5'9 ectomorph. What do you expect?
The_Punisher said on 17/Feb/16
He looks really short in Pirates of the Caribbean, short arms and legs. 5'8'' max.
abcdefgh said on 17/Feb/16
@Rimbaud
There is also a picture with McGowan and Depp where we can see them with shoes.
Click Here
Rimbaud said on 16/Feb/16
if you google Johnny Depp and shame McGowan there are pictures of them together where I would say McGowan looks nearly a good inch taller, he is listed here at 5ft 9.5", of course you cant see the shoes all to well, have you seen the pics Rob and what difference would say there are between the two?
Patrick 5foot9 said on 14/Feb/16
Rob, are those photos like this one from "ara" important for you? Can you work with it? He looks like the same height as the wax figure of depp.
You think Depp was meassured for the wax figure?
Editor Rob
with Wax figures we need to be aware that sometimes an actor who appears and gets dimensions taken, might have a pose he stands in and that is the height of the figure. In some cases I would say the pose was less than a 'military tall' type pose. Depp at 174cm can be arguable at times, but he also can look 5ft 9 range a lot.
NBAer said on 14/Feb/16
Looks around 173 with 170 Tom Cruise(imo Cruize is max 171).He never looked close to 180 or 178 in any of the Pirates of the Caribbean films with normal cam angles,so 175 is really the max he could pass for...Nevertheless,a great actor and personality imo!!...
Ara said on 12/Feb/16
Me (5'9; around 1.76 in the morning, 1.74 in the evening; mid-twenties) with Madame Tussaud's Johnny Depp in Las Vegas: Click Here

(note that I am a little closer to the camera, wearing sneakers with pretty thick soles; "Johnny" has standard cowboy boots and a very bad posture; still, I'd guess, with equal posture, shoes off, etc. we'd be pretty much the same height - considering Tussaud's measurements accurate; as far as I know, they were used for Orlando Bloom's estimate on this site, though?)
Ron said on 8/Feb/16
Rob, how much do you think he weighed in his prime(twenties) 165 or 170 lb?
sebs said on 4/Feb/16
shes in heels paul
Paul said on 30/Jan/16
Do you guys realize how thick and chunky Johnny's shoes are in the second pic? That's about a 2 inch thickness right there. And even then, he's the same height as 5'7" Amber Heard who is wearing 3 inch heels. (Don't let the hat and the camera angle trick you.) So I would put him at 172-173cm.
John said on 29/Jan/16
Tom Cruise is wearing obvious elevator boots in the photo above. No boot can be that thick without a hidden lift or padding inside. Cruise looks 5'9" (same as Depp) with those boots, but only 5'7.5" without them.
