leonari said on 6/Nov/08
pacino never was 5'6.5 in the first place. Depp is minimum 5'9. If taller not by much

i was an extra.the pic shows me and depp in costume that was up originally.

glenn really you was on donnie brasco?What office have you done?

did i see donnie brasco? i was in the movie.no you cant see me.depp was taller than that next to pacino.
miser said on 5/Nov/08
they are about the same height, 'exactly' is hard to tell. what i found most interesting is that casper's internet listing's are the same as depp's, 5-9, 5-9.5 and 5-10, 5-9.5 being perhaps the most reliable, since it looks like it is the most common, and why would one insert half an inch there if it was not accurate? i think Rob had Casper van Dien listed at more than 5-9 a while ago. depp is almost certainly 1.77m as I have been saying.

how come Casper van Dien (who is 5-9) looked shorter than depp in sleepy hollow?
glenn said on 2/Nov/08
reading comprehension helps and avoids arguments.i never said he was 5-11. 5-10 is maximum and very possible.
anonymous said on 2/Nov/08
there is no doubt that johnny depp is 5 9.. perhaps 5 9 1/2 AT MOST! regardless... cool guy and great actor.. but glenn youre way off the mark this guy is nowehere near 5 11
miser said on 31/Oct/08
glenn have you ever seen Casper Van Dien? he looked shorter than depp in sleepy hollow and nowhere is he listed under 5-9, in some websites he is listed at 5-10 or 5-9.5. i think rob recently downgraded him, lol.
glenn said on 31/Oct/08
hmm.depp,jagger,damon,stallone,colin farrell,patrick stewart,steve mcqueen etc,the list can go on and on,are celebs that are mentioned at 5-8 or less,when they are around 5-10. 5-10 celebs are the basis of all arguments on the site or in the world in general.5-10 is the magic height.look 6ft in the right footwear or 5-8ish,5-9 with a hunch or terrible posture.
el toppo said on 30/Oct/08
hi friends, I saw this video that made me think. About a 1/3 of the way through depp is standing by roberto rodriguez. Rodriguez has mentioned numerous times that he is 6 foot 2, yet here he is dwarfing depp. granted rodriguez's is prob wearing cowboy boots (as he always does) but depp also appears to be sporting some mean boots also.

why would he be called short if hes 5'10? look at his thiness. i mean if he was stocky or had short legs then i'd understand, but hes always looked thin. a thin 5'10 guy would not be called short

100% agreed

my uncle is 5'10 and i saw him at a far distance, and he looked 6'0...hes thin by the way...the most depp is 5'9

look,depp is 5-9 to 5-10.not more,not less.stallone is pegged at 5-7,5-8 as well and he is very possibly taller than depp.people exaggerate.people cant tell height plenty of 5-10 celebs get pegged at 5-8.even my 5-11 friends i peg at 5-9ish until they straighten out.fat and skinny.
Anonymous said on 28/Oct/08
It is not just recently that this has come up. Maybe it is just recently that this has come to your attention. His first big film was Sleepy Hollow. Pirates brought his career into the limelight. If one is 5'10" and is mistaken to be 5'7" or 5'8" than one must not be 5'10". There is a very noticeable difference between those heights and anyone I know 5'10" with boots on surely does not look 5'7" or 5'8". I know someone in the music industry and they said absolutely many celebs are not as tall as they are said to be. The only reason Depp may have appeared taller to Glenn is because of large heels and lifts.

miser said on 27/Oct/08
anonymous - how about you get a clue already? yes it's only recently that he's been called 5-7 or 5-8. but i agree with glenn, 5-10 men do get pegged at being short all the time, so its possible that he has been called short - he is shorter than other male stars like brad pitt - but not in the tom cruise league of shortness(5-8 or 5-7)! the public enemies casting people don't have to obey any scientific standard, and depp at 5-9 is not completely absurd, he is at the most 5-10 and very thin today even though i think he might have been a little over that when young. as for him being out of the limelight up until his 40's: i don't know what planet you are from but i don't even live in the USA or am a big fan or anything but have known who that guy was since at least the late 80s/early 90s.
Anonymous said on 27/Oct/08
First of all Miser the guy was out of the limelight up until his 40's. No, this hasn't just come up. There were many fan encounters before the guy was forty. I said ABOUT 5'9". They wouldn't cast people at ABOUT 5'9" if the guy was ABOUT 5'10". Can you not read?
glenn said on 27/Oct/08
depp was never overly friendly,and would turn me down for photo with alot in the early 90s.now he wasnt a jerk however.then he became this shy,quiet guy that he always was i guess that signed and posed up a storm.loved posing with people for 10 years.now reports have him as trying to get away from you if he can.phony nice if you catch him.waved over my friends on a film set 6 months ago and cops threatened my friends with arrest if they came over.couldnt depp step in? weird.he did for me years ago with film security.he said about me "he's ok,he stays".he never looked taller than 5-11 and usually looked 5-10.
glenn said on 26/Oct/08
miser is correct.though he was mentioned as short for 20 years though.i heard it discussed throughout my life from girls.5-10 men get pegged at being short all the time.and he doesnt wear boots all the time.i brought up the bodyguard video to show 5-7,5-8 is impossible,and that higher than 5-9 is possible.i never saw morrow or that movie.is it even on dvd? ill check it on youtube when i get to a computer and or remember.lol.

here is a comment from the Rob Morrow page:
cory says on 28/Dec/06
I just watched the 1985 movie "Private Resort" and Rob Morrow looks to be almost 2 inches shorter than Johnny Depp who is listed as 5'9" as well. Was Morrow not as tall in 1985? Either Depp is 5'11" or Morrow is 5'7". Check it out.
cory is of the same opinion as I am. Morrow is listed as 5 ft 8.75 in (175 cm)
Aratirion said on 26/Oct/08
I haven't seen that movie, but on the youtube clips, they look pretty similar in height. Johnny Depp probably is 1, 2 cm taller, maybe a full inch but nothing more if you ask me...
miser said on 26/Oct/08
"I'm telling you that 5'10" guys are not called small period."
Do you realise that he never was seen as short for most of his career? It's only now that he is in his 40's that this came up. The thing with this guy is that he floats around that 175cm-179cm gap, which is the barrier between shortness and tallness. That is why his height is so enigmatic.
miser said on 26/Oct/08
PUBLIC ENEMIES casting people chose guys at ABOUT 5'9" to fill in for Depp? That is because he really is about 5-9 genius. 5-9.75, or even a full 5-10(178cm) is not so far away from 5-9 you know, only an inch. And he IS barely taller than banderas, only about 3cm, which would make him 177cm. Also in Private Resort he looked taller than Rob Morrow by 2", Glenn have you ever seen Rob Morrow? How tall is he? Take a look at that film, youtube has some scenes.
miser said on 25/Oct/08
the bodyguard was like "skip... punch!". good tatics, lol. he figured the guy is has got the tape anyways so let me take a hit. he didn't look like a very big guy.
depp is probably 5'9".75 or something. (177cm)
Anonymous said on 25/Oct/08
I'm telling you that 5'10" guys are not called small period. Think about that. Why would so many celebs and fans call him small if he is over 5'11" with his boots on. That makes absolutely no sense. By the way, he is barely taller than Banderas. Not only that you continue to ignore that................PUBLIC ENEMIES casting people chose guys at ABOUT 5'9" to fill in for Depp.
glenn said on 25/Oct/08
i didnt notice all the posts to me guys.sorry,wasnt trying to ignore everyone.love ya all.thanks martiko.i learned my lesson.even though im not all to blame. miser-i have to see this private resort film.on youtube there is recent footage of his bodyguard punching a camera man in the face.in the minute or 2 before that,you see depp trying to pull the bodyguard away from the escalating fight.unless this bodyguard was short,depp looked 5-10.he didnt look short at all.im not saying depp cant be 5-9.
miser said on 24/Oct/08
are we still talking half of centimeters here, lol... if the guy is 173.5cm then why did he look as tall as Charlize whos about 177cm-178cm? this is nonsense. the truth is this guy is not as short as 175cm, period... i mean look at some folks who actually are 174cm: Antonio Banderas, Ryan Phillippe... Depp does look a bit taller than those, who have been known to be a little on the short side. if johnny depp were 176cm from the start he would have been picked on like tom cruise was. i think he is like mel gibson, he can look short and tall, 177cm would suit him best.
miser said on 22/Oct/08
Lol, don't forget that half of a centimeter.
Vibram said on 17/Oct/08
I'd say morning: 175cm; evening: 173.5cm. Rounded off to 174cm or 5ft8.5.
176cm morning height during the 1980's/1990's could be possible - he did look taller back then, a heavy smoker and we all know tobacco can deplete calcium.

there are some pictures of them barefoot here also if you scroll down and the "difference" in height does not appear to amount half an inch.
take a look at this scene, at the time the woman is electrocuted in the bathtub they show charlize's feet, she is wearing heels, JD comes by and still does not look noticiably shorter than her.

If you watch 'the astronauts wife' - there are some scenes on you tube where both charlize and johnny are barefoot and charlize is clearly half an inch taller. She is is around 5'9.5 - 5'9.75 meaning johnny is at the very most 5.9.25

He is not tall enough next to his wife to be 5'10" period. Glenn says 5'10" but that is nonsense. Why do public enemies casting people cast guys at about 5'9" (fill ins) if depp is 5'10". Now that makes no sense. The guy is no taller than 5'9". Glenn, the times you've seen him in person he was wearing BOOTS.

thanks guys for supporting me.depp in the early 90s looked as tall as 5-11 at times to me and others(google arrest the mark hotel 1993 or 94,the tallest i ever saw him).but obviously thats with boots or lifts.the question is whether he is 5-9 or 5-10.he isnt under that.his official height is 5-10.and its possible. and yes,colin farrell is 5-11.if im wrong he isnt a hair under 5-10.but im willing to bet $ on 5-11.
Glenn, every article I could find that mentioned Colin's height described him as 5'10" and he was described twice as that height in the film The Recruit. Maybe he is a strong 5'10"? I can't rule out him being 5'11" since I haven't met him but it is interesting that he is always described as 5'10". Maybe he's a guy who gives the impression of someone taller, I agree that he isn't under 5'10" though.
miser said on 9/Oct/08
hi glenn. i agree with you two, hes 175cm to 178cm although in some of the earlier stuff like "private resort" i thought he looked 5'10.5-5'11". if i had to pick one out right now i'd say 177cm. he has the "tall-short" type of body which hints 5-10. never a flat 5-9.
Felix said on 9/Oct/08
I agree, Depp can look 5'10, but after I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with him and Benicio Del Toro, Johnny wears low cut Converese and most of the time he has shorts so he isn't wearing any lifts. In one scene there's full body shots of both him and Del Toro, and I assume that Del Toro is 186cm, and he towers Johnny by atleast 12cm. So I would say 175cm morning height, maybe as low as 173cm night, but most of time 174cm. Yes is wearing boots and probably lifts most of times.
Also, if you watch pictures of him from his boat (not the ones with Vanessa) with a bunch of guys, he's drinking wine, he's towered by many of the guys on the boat, and isn't taller than anyone there, he come off as a short guy in those pictures, and he's barefoot. But I don't know how tall his friends are but you maybe know what I mean.
Aratirion said on 9/Oct/08
I'm glad Glenn is back! How are you?
Yes, if you are really honest, the only question is, if he's 5'9 or 5'10. That is in other words 1.75, 76, 77 or 1.78. I think he's somewhere in between. Peak height 1.77 or something like that. Everything under 1.75 is as ridiculous as everything over 1.78. Jeff, you've asked him? When and where have you had the glorious chance to do so?

jeff said on 4/Oct/08
People. He is 5'7 barefoot. I've asked him. He wears boots and hats, so it makes him appear to be much taller. But he is 5'7 and isn't afraid to admit it. Every celeb height is way overestimated. Always subtract at least 2-3 inches from each one.

johnny depp is 5'9 at very least!!!if he was 5'7 then he would be at the same height as keira knightley or even smaller!look at him with charlize theron he doesn't wears any shoes and he is almost as tall as her and she's 5'10

TELLEM, women usually have longer necks than men, men's height comes mainly from the back and legs. As I said it might have just been the way JD back and legs were standing at that moment.

Charlize Theron is listed here as 5 ft 9.75 in (177 cm), Johnny Depp is probably the same height. Notice that in this picture the top of Charlize's head is higher than Depp's (she has a longer head) but Depp's nose is at a higher level than Charlize's. We are splitting hairs here anyway, bottomline is Johnny Depp is not in the Tom Cruise league.

These pictures are a lot better, Aratirion. What we can drawn from them is that they are about the same height, as I said. I don't want to sound rude here but, may I ask if you are american? Are you familiar with the metric system? To claim that someone is 1 or 2 centimeters taller than somebody else is almost silly in my opinion, you can "gain" 1 or 2 centimeters just by stretching your back! So it might have been just the way JD is standing at that moment, or maybe Charlize's hair (Lol), you can't "clearly" tell they are 2cm apart.
Aratirion said on 24/Sep/08
Maybe not the best picture, but not entirely worthless. At least it is clearly visible that Ron Wood is taller than Johnny Depp, and Depp is clearly taller than Richards. This is a fact, no matter how bad the camera angle is.
I have posted those pictures already, but quite a time ago; Astronauts Wife; Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron; both barefoot; Theron is given 5'9.5 here;
Click HereClick HereClick HereNot the perfect pictures either, but if you ask me, you can see that he's about 1,2 cm smaller. So if Theron is 5'10 (1.78) then he's about 1.76.

If Charlize Theron really is 5'10 then Depp is 1,2 cm smaller than her. In "Astronauts Wife" you can clearly see that.
But still Depp looks pretty tall next to guys like Tim Burton who is 5'11+ . So I think Depp is about 5'9.5. But nothing under that.

Charlize Theron is about the same height as Johnny Depp (177 cm - 178cm). I tend to agree with Dominic, the general tendency is to UNDERestimate everyone, though some few people on this website are actually overestimated (not the case here, in my opinion.)
Anonymous said on 21/Sep/08
Depp is not 5'10" because he is not taller than Charlize Theron. Depp did not look that tall in 21 Jump Street. We've already established that it is possible Depp wore lifts in those early days. I love how these people say he is 5'10" or more on this site but don't look at the whole body of work. If the guy was truly 5'10" or more, no one would be saying he is 5'7" or 5'8" or 5'9", especially considering he wears 1.5 inch boots all the time. This site is far from grossly underestimating celeb heights. I know people in the business and I know they tell people are SMALLER in height than what they imagined.

I really approve the constant interest for the Johnny Depp page, but comments without any explanation for your opinion about him being so or so tall are completely useless.
Please base your argumentation on a personal encounter or a picture or a video or something else, but please not just "he is definitely 6'5!, and thats it".

see with getty, the big long url doesn't get converted on here properly, you need to take the last part which looks like "id=2858320" and plonk it together with the first part "http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Detail.aspx?axd=DetailPaging.Search&"
so it looks like:

Hey everyone,thanks for commenting about Depp's height.He wants me to tell you fans that he may appears to be so tall to you guys,but actually,his actually height is 5'7".Try not to be shocked over his height.He's getting really busy after the recent movie,Sweeney Todd & the barber of fleet street.By the way,our daughter Lily Rose-Depp is getting better.Thanks for the fans' concern.John Christopher-Depp,our son,is getting lively each day. :)

If Depp is a strong 5'8 then Orlando is probably a weak 5'10?
Fernando said on 14/Aug/08
If Glenn wakes up at 5'8 and stays up for 1 to 5 or 6 hours he could easily go down to 5'7.25 in that space of time, it doesn't matter if he wakes in the evening, 20 minutes later he'll have lost height already.
Depp is tricky to pin down, i suspect he wore lifts in the 90's and then just stopped caring.I'd say between 5'8 and 5'9 for him maximun.
Anonymous said on 14/Aug/08
spacechaser - What one actually encounters in boards like this one are a bunch of people who have a desperate psychological need to believe that celebrities are shorter than they claim. You know, they have fame, money, but they are short... I guess it makes their life more worthwhile.
Anon987 - Okay then ignore the evidence if that makes you happy! Have a good life.
Aratirion said on 14/Aug/08
Ok, that's possible, but all the pictures that he has taken with Johnny Depp were in the afternoon or in the evening. Means, he is awake for 1 to 5 or 6 hours. In that time he wouldn't have lost a lot. So you could say he was a legit 5'8 on the Depp pictures.
anonymous said on 13/Aug/08
If Glenn, at any time of day, wakes at 5'8", then he is atleast a half inch shorter
Editor Rob
there was one time I remember - I forget which page it was on - where glenn said he and a friend done various measurements on his bumpy wooden floor at 3am (which is his evening height since he woke afternoon). He said he got 5ft 7.75 down to 5ft 6!
that must have been some bad flooring!
spacechaser said on 13/Aug/08
Johnny Depp is 100feet tall and made of Gold.Lots of magic to you all.x
Aratirion said on 13/Aug/08
By the way; How can you say Glenn is 5'7 now? He is a clear 5'8. Read what he wrote all the time! He usually wakes in the afternoon, what means that he is 5'8 in the afternoon.
Aratirion said on 13/Aug/08
Hmm, that's strange cause in the video clip on youtube Carell looked smaller than Depp, if I remember correctly ... Have you been there or do you refer to that clip?
Anonymous said on 12/Aug/08
I saw him at this years MTV movie awards, and when he received his award he was near Steve Carell and the Rock. The rock is a big dude, but Carell looked taller than him in dress shoes but Depp had thick boots on. He doesn't seem to have a 5' 9" build imo. So id say a strong 5' 8" for Depp.
dits said on 10/Aug/08
looked somewhat tall in donnie brasco..but he also has this lean,pencil body which makes him look a little taller than what he is..in some scenes though,especially those with madsen,he looked really short (when they run into that attorney,for example).so 5'9 seems right for him..
like what i believe,a man can only be as short as he is,but can appear taller than he actually is several times.
Anon987 said on 7/Aug/08
Anonymous, I'm not going to watch Private Resort just to see this, provide pics or leave your claims to yourself. I need some evidence, thanks.
Also this Rob Marrow... his height is debatable too, you haven't measured him either. ;)

We have clearly established that he is not 5'10"
Anonymous said on 4/Aug/08
Oh sure Anon987, he probably stepped over some bricks to pose for a poster photo with Al PAcino, jeez... Again, take a look at "Private Resort", Rob Morrow and Johnny Depp are shown barefoot by the pool and Depp clearly has atleast 2 inches on Morrow... This was the 80's and they were both young... Morrow was about 5'9" at peak and Depp about 5'10" and a half or 5'11" at peak. I would agree that he looks shorter, though... JD has a bad posture, you never see him straightened in pictures.
Glenn is right, he is 5'10".
Anon987 said on 4/Aug/08
Anonymous, that picture you posted is much worse then mine. You can't even see the floor, whereas mine had the pavement. It's quite probable that Depp has a ground advantage in yours.
trueheight said on 4/Aug/08
If we were to consider that Glenn is actually 5'7, then based on the two pictures w/ Glenn, 5'9 is the absolute maximum for JD - anything beyond that is absurd.
Brad said on 4/Aug/08
Glenn said he was 5' 10" which is a joke. Just look at him with Pacino.

in that pic he was wearing Goth boots(2-3 in height)
the tallest he can be is 5'9.
Anonymous said on 2/Aug/08
Lol, what nonsense. Check this one:
Click HereNotice that Pacino is straightened out. Also check out "Private Resort", which has a couple of scenes wherein Rob Morrow and Johnny Depp are shown barefoot. Depp has atleast 2 inchens on Morrow, who is said to be 5'9". Depp is 5'10" today, maybe near 5'11" in his best day.
Anon987 said on 31/Jul/08
I think in this case it is. You can clearly see the sidewalk, and although no shoes I doubt one is wearing huge lifts. Depp should have a solid 3 inches on him, he's actually shorter though. Take into consideration the pavement slide, and we have a 5'7 Depp.
UNK said on 31/Jul/08
Anon987 - movie stills are never strong prove.
Anon987 said on 30/Jul/08
I think I've found some pretty strong proof that Johnny Depp isn't more then 5'8, I'd say about 5'7
Click HereYes you can't see their feet but see how the pavement slopes downwards towards Depp in the background? Definitely a picture worth considering. Obviously he is with Al Pacino, 5'6 on here.

Dude, I wouldn't care if he was 5'3 he's a sexy beast. Not to mention I dig shorter guys (probably because I'm tiny myself).
Chunzhihao said on 29/Jul/08
5'9 would be his average sighting height
SK said on 24/Jul/08
Honestly I really don't have evidence to make any remarks about depp's height, but I would think that if glenn says he's 5'8 (exactly 172.7 cm) when he gets up, then he's not a legit 5'8. more like 171.5 cm if you ask me. That means that even if depp is taller than glenn by an inch (putting him around 174), he is still no more than 5'8.5 . I just feel like glenn makes these remarks about celebs whom he has taken pictures with with this strong assumption that he's a true 5'8 guy when in reality he's not close to it. Imo, a legit 5'8 guy gets up at 5'8.5, and ends the day around 5'7.75, which is certainly not applicable to glenn.
Smith said on 24/Jul/08
I think Depp is indeed 5 ft 9 or maybe 5 ft 8 barefoot. But these heights no longer mean something in Hollywood, cause he always wear boots of lifts like all the other actors. He seems to be 5ft10.5 - 5ft11 when you see him on the street. I saw him at a film premiere in France, and he looked 5ft10.5 with boots on.

Tim is obviously taller than Depp but in the first photo why are Depp's shins longer than Tims? Lifts?

175 cm for this guy at a good day.he needs a small downgrade. maybe 173-174.
RICHARD said on 10/Jul/08
Just watched WEGG and Depp looked like a solid 5'10-11 guy to me,and he was 30 in that. He was also thin and was close to Leonardo's height,5'9 or so. If Depp is under 5'9 I won't believe it since he looks average to me.
Brad said on 10/Jul/08
Glenn went beserk on April 23rd saying that you shouldn't ever swear word tell me he's under 5' 9". He's 5' 8" and looking every bit of it lately. I wonder who fronts Glenn in his "second coming". He told everybody he was Bronx broke and doesn't even own a computer. Hope he has some coin for one of those Italian ice's on the Grand Concourse by Yankee Stadium.

vsilzter said on 5/Jul/08
Aratirion - that would be a valid argument if there weren't several photos, at several different moments, on different parts of the boat that ALL show them to be roughly the same height. Don't you find it funny that every single photo would make him appear so much shorter? If it was just a matter of the boat rocking, surely there would be at least one image that showed him to be taller.
Aratirion said on 5/Jul/08
I haven't disappeared. I was on vacation and came back yesterday evening. Still I wonder where Glenn is. Does anybody know? Rob?
@yacht pics; Please forget them. They don't tell you anything ... I was on a boat myself last week and there was a guy who was 6'2 and another one who is proabably 5'11 and one time he was bigger the other time the 5'11 guy. This was because of the waves and therefore the constantly changing pavement height.
Editor Rob
Glenn is gone from celebheights but will have a second coming somewhere else.

Aratirion disappeared along with Glenn, strange uh??
UNK said on 2/Jul/08
I don't think Paradis is less than 5'3" and in most of the barefoot pics the ground slope looks like it's in her favor... puts Depp at 5'8", not 5'6".
If he were 5'6" Kate Moss would have towered over him in heels.. that's not the case she looked pretty even with him in heels... again putting him around 5'8" maybe slightly over on a good day.
wstat said on 2/Jul/08
UNK- I don't see why they would be angry if he was shorter. Still 5'7 and a dot over is definately right for my friend and I. Depp did seem to be a couple inches taller. If he wasn't the ground probably wasn't level (Most people don't pay attention to that really when they meet a celebrity. they're probably too astonished to see the celebrity to even care if the ground is level or not). I'd definately bet on 5 ft 9 for this man. 5 ft 10 and 5 ft 8 may both be a bit of a stretch. But I don't think he is shorter than 5 ft 9.

amanda said on 1/Jul/08
Really the pictures of him with Vanessa posted below don't show that much difference between them, but any theory of him beig under 5'8 is really hard to prove.
if there isn't much height difference between them, and she is 5'2 or 5'3, how does that put him at 5'8? a 5" difference in height is really noticeable.
even if he is slouching (which he doesn't look to be imo) there is no way he's more than 4" taller than her.
5'3 vanessa + 4" = 5'7 johnny.
5'2 (which is probably her actual height as most people add an inch) + 4" = 5'6.
Richard said on 1/Jul/08
5'6 is an exaggeration to the minimum.
I really think he's 5'8, no more than 5'8.25.
I always found Glen's height suspected since he said he was a bit more than 5'7 in the evening.
Really the pictures of him with Vanessa posted below don't show that much difference between them, but any theory of him beig under 5'8 is really hard to prove.
UNK said on 1/Jul/08
vsilzter - I saw those pics and agree, no more than 5'8" (ish) for Depp.
wstat - there is your answer as to why poeople get mad when he is called 5'10", because everyone ignores the evidence that he is probably shorter.. those are the best pics to judge Depp's height from that have been posted in a long time here.. and basically no one has commented on them.
Smith said on 1/Jul/08
How come Glenn is not on the site anymore ? I'm sorry, I didn't see that one coming ^^
vsilzter said on 30/Jun/08
Did anyone here even look at those photos a couple posts down?
Seriously, enough with the "well when I met him he was my same height and I'm 5'9" blah blah crap. He wears lifts! In those pics he is barefoot with Vanessa (who is 5'3 AT BEST, she probably exaggerates her height by an inch or so also, as most people do) and there is BARELY any height difference.
How can you look at those pics and honestly think this guy is 5'8+? You'd have to be delusional to think there's 5" of height difference between them, even if he is slouching. Again, they are both barefoot so you can see their TRUE height. This guy is 5'7 at absolute max, probably closer to 5'6. Case closed.
observer said on 30/Jun/08
In "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio look like they're the same height.
GSP said on 29/Jun/08
Depp is 5'8-5'10. I tend to think slightly closer to 5'8. Nothing in this range would surprise me. Hes probably 5'8.75 exactly. Im biased though as that is basicaly my hieght. 5'9.5 morning and as low s 5'8.5 night. I usually look fairly average but definatly a little under avarage. Around a bunch of 6 foot plus ers I start looking short. I think 5'8.5-5'9.5 is the most elusive height range. You can easily look tallish in some situation or shortish in others depending on many factors.
wstat said on 29/Jun/08
wiart- oh, I didn't know. He's not on this site anyore.
wiart said on 29/Jun/08
wstat- glenn is no more on the site.thank god.
wstat said on 28/Jun/08
UNK, well i've been measured numerous times and know my height to be indisputably 5/7 (i'm a dot over maybe) and a half inch taller when I get up. A friend of mine whose my exact height met Depp. He says he's a couple inches taller. 5.9 seems dead on and maybe a dot over (at the most), but I don't beleive he's 5.10 quite. I'd recant if he actually was though.
P.S. I find it amazing that people get angry or annoyed that Depp may possibly be 5.10 because I don't see what the big deal about admitting it if he was. I bet if he was measured in the most brutally honest unbiased way to be 5.10, I bet some people would still make up excuses for this actor being shorter. I think the editor and Glenn has his height pegged in an unbiased manner. I agree with this one.
UNK said on 27/Jun/08
I agree anonymous.. if you look ereally close on the last pic I beleive you could see her toes.. she looks barefoot... which really make him look no more than 5'8" in those pics.
anonymous said on 26/Jun/08
UNK, it is reasonable to say she is barefoot. I'm sure those shots were in succession. I'd truly be surprised if he is under 5'8" or over 5'9.
UNK said on 26/Jun/08
wsata - "any time you see him with jay leno.. blah, blah" Your input is appreciated, but you seeing him on Jay Leno does nothing to prove is heitgh one way or the other.
wstat said on 26/Jun/08
Depp is a guy that is hard to pin down in terms of height. I do think he tends to slouch and look down when he walks to which can account for this. However, every time I see him on Jay Leno he appears to be 2 inches shorter than leno (with regular sneakers). Leno is 5'11 so Depp can't be any shorter than 5'9.
UNK said on 25/Jun/08
Great pics Amanda - You really can't tell if she is barefoot though. Even if she has sandals on he is not over 5'9" in those pics.
(Where did Glenn's pics with Depp go?)
Anonymous said on 24/Jun/08
Glenn will somehow discredit those photos. I wonder if glenn is really 5'7.5", 5'8", or whatever he claims. Depp was not taller than 5'8.25" barefoot when standing next to Glenn. The logical reason why he was taller than Glenn is because in one photo he was probably wearing lifts and in the other photo he had on huge heels and maybe a lift.
Aratirion said on 24/Jun/08

there's been a lot of talk about loss of height through the day, I can speak of personal back problems from a car accident where on a good day 5'10" ,excellent day with stretch/inversionboard/swimming 5'11' and on horrible days 5'9"-1' (where I can't even get off the bed). point is posture we don't know the health history of celebs and their exercise/rehab habits. as such depp being in his 40's can have a big swing of hieght.
milky said on 17/Jun/08
It's been said before, but i have to agree with bruce_willis. The magical height chameleon size is 5'8.5-5'9.5ish and thin. I'm not even quite that, i'm 5.8.25 midday, 140 lbs, but when asked and i tell people i'm 5'8 most are surprised. the two i get most are "no, you're like 5'6-5'7 right?" from taller (6'2+) guy friends and "i always thought you were 5'10" from girls and average height guys. Theres just something about this height and build.
Can look short, can look relatively, in reality a bit under average. Depp city, imo, is 5.8-5.9.5.

trueheight said on 13/Jun/08
as to loss of height, I don't know if Glenn would want to measure, but if he wakes up 5'8 then he should be hovering just under 5'8 for the rest of day.
I have actually measured and have never lost more than .5in or 2cm. I have a two-hour daily commute - driving is especially hard on your lower spine. My workday typically lasts around 15hrs.

good eye aratirion.people also ignore my pic on the right.he is clearly 5-10 there too.those were the days he looked 5-11ish too.
Aratirion said on 7/Jun/08
Yeah he can appear short, but after long discussions and a lot of pics and videos I finally come to the conclusion that he is more 5'10. So 1.77/78 ... Makes a 5'11 Orlando Bloom. (who is exactly 179.5; don't know daytime)
I was too much fixed on posture, thinking that Depp is 5'9. But he never looks smaller than that but sometimes taller so anything below is ridiculous and an inch over 5'9 sounds correct.
Daniel said on 7/Jun/08
If she is 5'5'', then he is at least 5'9'' judging from that picture.
UNK said on 6/Jun/08
That's why it's "similar" in height and not "exact" in height, Daniel. A 5'5" girl never looks similar in height to a solid 5'10" guy.. like I said though, not the best pic to go on.
However, funny you bring up her boots.. "enormous" sure.. but high heel doubtful, those kid of boots don't come in 5" stiletto heels.. and of course Depp has his meaty-heeled combat boots on.
Daniel said on 6/Jun/08
Similar in height? What the hell? He is slouching and still looks clearly taller than her. Please take a look at their shoulder's level difference. Besides, these boots she wears are enormous! Again, Depp is no less than 1.75m and no more than 1.78m, but I'm more inclined on 1.75m (5'9''), because he looked this height in all the seasons of 21 Jump Street he starred in.

my father and johnny depp are the same height. 5 ' 10. however, if my dad doesn't stand and sit properly, which he does a lot, he shrinks down to about about my height, 8.5. if he stands up straight up and you were to take a picture, it would look a lot like the pic glenn is in with JD on the right (of course, JD's head is leaning in a little bit so deduct about an inch).
UNK said on 3/Jun/08

Some recent stuff; He seemed taller than Steve Carell at the MTV Movie Awards; Carell is 5'9 - 5'10, right? Depp ain't smaller than 5'9 then. More 1.77 ...
Maybe a full 5'10 is a bit too much;
glenn said on 2/Jun/08
anything less than 5-8 in appearence for depp is absurd beyond belief.he is 5-10.looking shorter like all 5-10 celebs do.
Anonymous said on 2/Jun/08
He has appeared shorter than bruckheimer.
Aratirion said on 2/Jun/08
I have never seen a picture where he was equal in height with Moss, Bruckheimer nor with any legit 5'8er. The lowest I have seen him was about 5'8, and there are very rare pics of that; Most of the time he appears 5'9 and sometimes 5'10 (but still more often than 5'8); So between 5'9 and 5'10. I tend to think he is nearer to 5'9.
Shorter than Bruckheimer? I am very interested to see that ...
max said on 2/Jun/08
The thing about Depp is that he can appear to be 5'10 at times and he can also be appear 5'6. There are photos where he is equal height with kate moss whilst he is wearing big army boots. There are also pictures where he is shorter than bruckheimer. I personally dont think anyone will ever find sufficient evidence to downgrade him, however i think its a good idea to keep in mind that much can be done to increase height, however when a picture is found where your are shorter, it is a more accurate indication of true height. Often in this section many say that he has a quirky dress sense etc etc. What i find interesting is that his 'quirky' dress sense more often than not involves relatively his heeled shoes.

"colin farrell(5-11 actually)etc.they can look shorter than they are.due to posture or other reasons."
LOL how is he 5'11 when he is barely taller than you at 5'7.25 night height? He even claims 5'10 himself and is listed as such on his fansites. I dont see how/why you say all these stars are downgrading themselves by 1 inch...perhaps someone (ahem) is upgrading themselves by an inch...
UNK said on 29/May/08
He doesn't have to be 5'10" to be all over the place considering 5'11" is the tallest he's looked.. 5'9" with lifts and the "star persona" could easily get a guy to 5'11".
glenn said on 28/May/08

He will be 45 in June.. not 46.
Bogart_heel's theory is right on the money!
ACG said on 27/May/08
I personally believe Depp to be the biggest height enigma on the planet. Even more so than Sly.
I've seen a photo of him where he was visibly shorter than Jerry Bruckheimer, who is 5'6 max and gave glenn a 5'5 impression once.
Then again, I also saw a pic of him where he had at least a good couple inches on Jay Leno who is 5'11 min. and could be 6', if I'm not mistaken....
Let's be safe and say he's between 5'4 and 6'3- just kidding!!! But those two pics I speak of are nigh impossible to explain, especially when looked at side by side.
I do think Depp is most likely a full 5'10. Never a flat 5'9.
glenn said on 26/May/08
river phoenix was 5-10 as far as i know.5-11 tops.but i never saw the guy.as for your depp theory bogart heels,its possible.i agree.but i also think its possible he is 5-10,and has the typical 5-10 syndrome other actors have.stallone,colin farrell(5-11 actually)etc.they can look shorter than they are.due to posture or other reasons.

Well if you look at pictures from Finding Neverland premiere you will see that the difference between Forster and Depp is noticeably more than Forster and Craig's.
So my point is that Depp is 5ft8.5, no way he's close to 5ft10.

OK, i've got the definitive. going back a few days on your comments. glenn & aratirion have hit on it. johnny was short in jump street -real height. became a big player - mixed with river phoenix/keanu reeves etc. (both 6ftish - 1 just under 1 just over) he discovered lifts & appeared taller. hit late 30s early 40s & became more confident in himself (he's johnny depp) so, sometimes didn't wear lifts - eg. the picture i posted with noel gallagher. but, sometimes, esp. while working, he'll wear lifts - eg. the public enemy shot to give him the height/confidence. so, he's somewhere between 5ft8.5 and 5ft9 - depending on time of day. and footwear can make him approaching 5ft11 - as good as 6ft, if the 6footer is wearing flats. i'm 5ft8 and (with clever footwear) i can appear a strong 5ft10 (i've even got away with 5ft11). i'm convinced he's 5ft9 1st thing AM, then 5ft8.5 the rest of the time.

Glenn, my point is the older you get the more height you will lose. WTF do you not get about that. You don't get much do you. Weight is a factor. I'm not basing anything entirely on weight. Maybe you ought to reread what I wrote. Not to mention... you are talking about 6'1" and 5'9" guys. I am talking about 5'9" and 5'10.5" guys. You have boots that look like... who cares... that is idiotic to suggest you can compare the exterior and interior of Depp's boot without having it in front of you.
Aratirion said on 25/May/08
Please, don't base your calculation on weight. Depp is a pretty skinny guy and secondly you can't be sure that the weight is (still) correct. I know 6'1 people that are ligther than me and I'm 5'9 and have a pretty normal build.
Yes, you do lose height if you are on your feet. But you are usually taller after you wake up and smaller if you are up for a long time. But as Glenn wakes up at 3 pm he is quite at his top when meeting Depp. Height isn't affected by sun or daytime. It is just affected by how long you are on your feet. Sleeping or lying slow that process.
Boots; I have boots whose heel looks quite as the ones of Depps favourite 20 year old ones. And this heel is quite exactly 3cm. So barely over an inch. I don't think he has any lift inside those. Maybe in others.
glenn said on 25/May/08
older?? depp is 46 in june,im 36.the pics were taken in 1993 and 1996.i dont understand your point.
anonymous said on 23/May/08
Yes, you do lose atleast half of an inch because of the spine compacting due to gravity. That is only the average height lost. Glenn is older too. All you need is an hour or less on your feet and you will start shrinking. Aratirion, one can't defy gravity. I highly doubt any boots depp wears are under 1.25 inches. I still believe Depp is between 5'8" and 5'9" but not under 5'8" and not over 5'9". One reason why I don't believe he is over 5'9" is because his official weight is 155-165 lbs. or something like that. My family member is approximately 5'10.5" evening and 155lbs. max. He has much more build than Depp. It doesn't fit. My guess is that Depp is not under 5'8" but not over 5'9", and absolutely no more than 140-150lbs.
glenn said on 23/May/08
true.2 inches is too much.1.5 id say though at least.
Aratirion said on 23/May/08
Believe me, you don't loose that much height if you sleep or at least lie around somewhere during the day. So I think Glenn was a legit 5'8 on the right pic. Anyway, I don't think motor cycle boots give you that much, I'd say barely over an inch. Boots seem to give you less than you might expect. I'd say Johnnys Brasco boots gave him about 4 to 5cm. So 1 to 2cm heel advantage.
glenn said on 23/May/08
motor cycle boots.i dont know cm.so id say 2 inches at most.maybe a bit under actually.the pic on right was taken around 3pm.im 5-7.25 after midnight.i wake usually 3pm.
M.A.R.T.I.KO said on 22/May/08
unk- you make some sense . but i dont think johnny is under 5.8,5 anyway. glenn said that he was wearing boots too.
and one more thing, if glenn is 5.7 at night. that would make me think twice about what i wrotte above.so we need to ask him about that one.
glenn - what do u mean by mc boots??how many cm can they add to someones height??
glenn said on 21/May/08
you guys are all forgetting he is leaning in on both of my pics.and yes,i am wearing mc boots in the pic i believe.which i forgot about and is rare.
glenn said on 21/May/08
anonymous-assuming is the #1 cause of fights on this site.so cause depp is filming,that doesnt mean he comes to nyc on occasion on a sneak,when on a break? and furthermore depp has been filming in the states and my friends are there every step of the way.charlize is a tall women.not sure of her height but she is 5-9ish,5-10.
UNK said on 21/May/08
Glenn has said numerous times that he is 5'8" OUT of BED.. I don't care if he was laying down or not before he met Depp.. you start losing height right away.. to be fair you have to say that glenn was probably closer to 5'7.75" in the pics... Glenn has claimed that he has measured his evening height at times close to 5'7"... I thank Glenn for his honesty on that!
A lot of times people appear taller to you because you can't see the top of your own head... I am sure Johnny does appear taller than he actually is... but in these pics he is not much taller than Glenn at all! For all the "Johhny's leaning" or "Johnny's posture's bad in the pic"... I say this - Glenn certainly doesn't appear to be standing like he has a stick up his butt.. he looks pretty relaxed too.. and we know Johnny has the heel advantage.
Aratirion said on 21/May/08
Yeah, I wish it would be as easy as that. But your calculation could be quite wrong. Let's say his boots give him only 3cm (-3) and his leaning lets him appear 4cm smaller (which is possible; so +4) Then you got it like that: +4-3+3 = +4; add Glenns shoes and you have +6, which would make a 1.79 Depp.
Not that I think he is that height but theese calculations don't work as you could see with my example. Especially when we are debating about 3,4 cms in difference.
m.a.r.t.i.ko said on 21/May/08
i give johnny nothing more than 5.9 . i think glenn is not into boots(or am i wrong).while boots are favored by johnny. i think we can solve this if we :
1- noted that johnny is leaning wich gives him 2 cm .(+ev 2)
2- noted that johnny is has cowboy boots which gives him 4 more cm .(-ev 4)
3-in pics he looks taller than glenn by 3 cm.(+ev 3)
4- glenn is 5.8
so by simple math work it would look somthing like this:
johnny has only 1 posative cm(normal cm , not deu to lifts) .so johnny would be 174. and if we added that glenn might be wearing somthing that would make him taller by 2 cm.johnny might be 176 cm . which i really dont think is true.
glenn- its up to u bro. tell us what were you wearing???
Aratirion said on 21/May/08
Depp isn't 5'10 and Bloom isn't 5'11? You're so sure about that when not even Glenn, who has the most experience in height judging and has met those guys in person, is not sure about it? This is a discussion board so we discuss about heights. No one gives a 100% assurance that his opinion is the correct one.
To speak for myself; My only sources are pictures and videos. Judging from that I come to the estimate that he must be around 5'9. But another fact is, that Glenn says he and his friends see him at 5'10 or even 5'11, what is no miracle to me either. Therefore I absolutely confess that Glenn could be perfectly alright when he says Depp 5'10, Bloom 5'11. This doesn't have to mean that they are really this height. But they could be...
Anonymous said on 20/May/08
Exactly, they want to use pics when it is evidence to support their claims that Depp is 5'9" or more. Otherwise, pics are useless because Glenn has met him in person. I think it is rubbish that you laid down to get to 5'8". So immediately afterwards you were standing next to Depp? I highly doubt that. Glenn, how the hell do you have friends that see him all the time... he is constantly filming and when he isn't filming he is in France, and LA. Glenn still hasn't explained how Depp could be 5'10" if he is clearly shorter than Theron. Depp isn't 5'10" and Bloom isn't 5'11".
Aratirion said on 20/May/08
I said, that this could be the key. Meaning, this is part of the "solution". Pics are not the only source, right. That's why this comparison isn't the only thing you should base your opinion on. But it could be a part of it as there exist a lot of pics with them, standing together. But as long as we don't know Orlandos real height (I expect him to be about 5'10.5) it's just another thing that supports a 5'9.5 Depp - an important thing, but not the only key fact. If we knew his height exactly it could be the key for Depp, together with the fact that Glenn is exactly 5'8.
UNK said on 20/May/08
The "key to know Depp's height is to compare him to Orlando"???? That would be pics! When I brought up pics of other celebs to compare him to you guys pretty much ignored me and said "pics aren't the only source"... but pics with Orlando are "key"?
glenn said on 19/May/08
aratirion-that has to be the case then.
Aratirion said on 19/May/08
Glenn, I think Orlando wears boots or lifts very often. If he's wearing dress shoes I guess there's a little lift inside. The boots might be normal size. But it's not that hard to appear 6ft when you are 5'10.5.
glenn said on 19/May/08
im not sure why orlando looked 6ft to me the first couple of time s i saw him.he is 5-11 when he wakes at least.
Aratirion said on 18/May/08
Yeah, you're right, that could be the key. But I guess Bloom is about 5'10.5 and Depp 5'9.5. There's the inch difference and the middle of the debate about Depps height. Works together almost perfectly.
Cincy said on 18/May/08
Aratirion, I don't think Depp could have shrunk by the age of 45. Usually it's more in the late fifties and early sixties. Anyway, on the left pic I see a two inches difference and on the right, his shoulders are way over those of Glenn but they look almost at the same eye level. I think the key to know Depp's height is when you compare him to Bloom. I know Bloom has been measured at 179.5 cm, but I'm wondering if his agent or a relative just threw in a number like that, and they just drew a line where was the top of his head. If I refer to the newspaper articles that first appeared on this site, they said that Bloom was standing at 5'9,5''. I don't say that's his height but since the difference between him and Johnny on pictures isn't big, barely one inch, I believe that Bloom is closer to 5'10 than 5'11. I could buy 5'9,25'' for Depp and 5'10'' for Bloom.
glenn said on 17/May/08
aratirion-yeah,it strange how some pics on the site look different to what they really are.the scan? the crop? thanks for backing my claims that depp might be 5-10.
glenn said on 17/May/08
unk-there isnt anything to explain.celebs heights are all over the place.and you know that.
Aratirion said on 17/May/08
Because pics are not the only source to judge someones height. Glenn has met him in person, and if you look at the donnie brasco pic on glenns myspace account you can see that he looks quite a lot taller. 5'10 is not impossible. I just tend to think that he is more 1.76 or so, and has been 1.77 in earlier times and therefore rightfully claimed 5'10 (i'd do so too).
But you're right, with Moss and a lot of other celebs he looks 5'9. With Tim Burton he appears 5'10.
UNK said on 16/May/08
"Leaning in on 5'10"" - how so? Glenn ,You have said that Sean Penn and Jerry Bruck(whatever) are under 5'8"... you also have said a number of times that you think Kate Moss is 5'4" (which I don't believe)... how is Depp 5'10" when there are tons of pics of him looking the same or maybe an 1" topps of Jerry B and Sean P.. and if Moss is 5'4" - how do you explain that?
glenn said on 15/May/08
yes nate.i thought the same thing.
glenn said on 15/May/08
aratirion-yes,he looks shorter as of the last 10 years or so.could be many factors.or he was always 5-9.but im truly leaning in on 5-10 now.
UNK said on 15/May/08
He definitely appears 5'9" (if that) in the public enemy shoot.. and look at the footware they have him in...
Click HereAlso, there is no doubt that certain 5'9" guys could appear 5'11" and 5'7" (2" up or down).. if he were a true 5'10" he would have looke 6'0" with some of the footware her used to wear. I believe he wore lifts in the beginning of his movie career... he never looked more than 5'8"-5'9" on Jump street, then all of a sudden he's looking 5'10"/5'11"... then poof, right back to looking 5'8"/5'9".
JD said on 15/May/08
Why is height so important you? Height does not make a good actor. It's the passion for the art, of affecting lives. Don't place all your stock in such trivial things. JD
nate said on 14/May/08
Glenn, u think it possible that he used small lifts in the 90s then when he got older he decided he didn't care about his height anymore and stoped wearing them?
glenn said on 14/May/08
aratirion-im glad you agree with me on that.thats why i think 5-10 is possible cause he can look short and tall.which is the argument of all 5-10 men on the site.
glenn said on 14/May/08
the more i researched that poc costume guy,the less i think of him.that was my story.he was on the set,but he was not of any importance.he wanted to sound important.aratirion is right.whats the mystery? well ive seen orlando look 5-10.5 to 6ft.
Aratirion said on 14/May/08
@UNK; No, the POTC source didn't "measure" him at 5'9. He appeared 5'9 to them as he appears 5'9 most of the time to us. And, looking shorter than you actually are is extremely easy if you're 5'10.
Still I agree, I just can't see Depp being a legit 5'10er/1.78. For me 1.76 sounds most logical, 1.77 and 1.75 are two close second estimates. Everything else isn't really possible if you ask me.
UNK said on 14/May/08
I think Rob has him correct at 5'9"... with that said... let me remind you of what has been written on this board a number of times.
"You could easily make yourself taller, but it's hard to make yourself shorter"
Boots, lifts, whatever... who knows why he looked tall... but how do you explain all the pics of him looking short?
Glenn even said that he had a good source in the POTC custom design that measured him at 5'9". He looks 5'9" next to Bloom, Moss, The Stones, Theron... what's the big mystery?
Aratirion said on 14/May/08
@Glenn; Yeah, I agree; on the arrest pic he looked more than 5'11; But I still ask myself, how that was possible; I mean, he can look 5'11 also nowadays but most of the time not, back in the 90s he appeared 5'11 all the time. Boots doesn't seem to have changed, height not more than one cm. What do you think?
glenn said on 14/May/08
did everyone ignore the pic on the left? he is slouching big time.and on the right he is leaning in more than you think.
glenn said on 14/May/08
i dont agree wiht that unk.in the early 90s he looked strangely taller than usual.and i witnessed it.the arrest pic of him in nyc was my proof.
Aratirion said on 14/May/08
@UNK; Ok if Depp is 1.76 (my current favourite), then he'd be about 1.80,81 in Cuban heels. Glenn is in boots let's say 1.76. Exactly what the difference is like, if you ask me. On the left one, it's bad posture and a smaller heel, therefore Depp appears a little bit smaller. Indeed, he could be 5'10, but I think 1.75-77 is most accurate.
UNK said on 13/May/08
We know for sure that Depp was wearing 2" Cuban heels in that Brasco pic... and he really doesn't look a full 2" taller than Glenn. I know some of you will say posture, etc.. but Johnny's hair is giving him more height than Glenn's to make up for a slight difference in posture... and even if Glenn was wearing stnadard DM's Depp has a definite heel advantage.
I just don't see Depp being over 5'9" barefoot.. the times he looks tall is always due to his footware.
glenn said on 13/May/08
the more i think of it,i mightve had boots on too.which was rare.mc boots.he looked close to 5-11 that day.his boots seemed to assist him more.but ive seen him in those famous beat up boots look 5-11 as well.im not sayin he is 5-11.what im saying is he might be 5-10.
glenn said on 13/May/08
noel gallegher is in no way 5-6.i see him frequently.5-8 indeed.
UNK said on 13/May/08
That's exactly why I am asking Glenn how tall Depp appeared to him the day the Brosco pic above was taking.. he keeps takling about this 5'11" sighting, was it the Brasco day??
Aratirion said on 13/May/08
@bogart_heels; Johnny's looking pretty tall on that picture; 5'10 easily, if not more ... A great example of him appearing tall even in small shoes. But still the pic isn't good for comparison...
Aratirion said on 13/May/08
@Richard; Yeah, as I said, Johnny about 5'11 to 5'11.5, depends on the heel of the brasco boots; Glenn, in shoes, about 5'9. That's what I see too. Makes Depp 5'9 - 5'9.5 ...
Richard said on 13/May/08
I don't know what kind of shoes Glenn had on that special day (the Donnie Brasco pictures), but to me there's no more than 2 inches difference. And Johnny had cowboy boots on that day.
Aratirion said on 13/May/08
Exactly bruce_willis; That's exactly what I believe; If Depp is 1.76, then he is 1.79 in boots, which is just under 5'11. I totally agree with what you and Glenn say all the time. 5'7 is ridiculous. Still you can appear like that due to a special body, but at the same time you seem to be near 5'11.
@UNK; I guess 5'11. If he had his brasco boots on, that - I'd say - give him about 1,5 - 2 inches (bigger heel than his usual boots) he could appear 5'11 easily.
bogart_heels said on 13/May/08
don't know if this link'll work. just makes things even harder. kate moss (on here - 5ft5.75" ) noel gallagher (on here 5ft8 - though i've stood behind him and i'm certain no more than 5ft6). johnny depp's clearly taller than both, but by how much isn't clear - sloping road. what is clear is that he's got no heels on. gotta give him 5ft9. but a weird one, like jude law - people think anywhere from 5ft7-6ft.
Click Here
bruce_willis said on 12/May/08
I really do believe glenn when he says depp looked 5'11...
This might sound very weird, but my body is johnny depps body. My morning height is 5'9.6-7 and in my late evening/night height is 5'9.2, and in the middle of the day I am about 5'9.4-5. And my weight right now is 145 pounds.
90% percent of the people i talked to about my height estimates it from 5'10.5-6' and becomes really shocked when i tell them i'm about 5'9. Even my 5'7.5 ex-girlfriend who had been with be for 4 months kinda constanty everyday, didnt believe me when i told her i'm about 5'9, she said "no way, you are clearly taller, you are like 178-179 (5.10-10.5)".
The only ones who estimates my height lower than 5'9 is tall girls. There were this 2 girls in a party who were 5'9.5-5'10, we were talking and out of nowhere they said; dude you're kinda short.. youre about 5'7-5'8 right? :)
So when it comes to depp i really think he is 5'9, he just has that heightillusion type of a body just like me. He can look as short as 5'7 and as tall as 6'.
UNK said on 12/May/08
Glenn - How tall did Johnny appear to you on the set of Donnie Brasco the day the above right pic was taken?
glenn said on 10/May/08
i dont agree davey.when you have him in front of you lookin 5-11,you wonder.
Aratirion said on 10/May/08
I really welcom people posting here, but a single statement without a reason or a picture or a question or whatever in connection with your opinion isn't really interesting to read.
Davey said on 9/May/08
he is no way 5`10 comon peopel.The guy is 5`9 and pulls it off well.
glenn said on 9/May/08
girlygirl and anon v are right.and yes 5-10 is a magic height to be.you can look 6ft or 5-8.
Anon_V said on 9/May/08
5'9 - 5'10 is a very versatile height. Slump a little bit and you'll look much shorter, square your shoulders while standing tall and you'll look much taller. Johnny Depp is probably within this range. My husband is 5'10.5 and with horrible posture he looks much shorter. With athletic shoes, he looks easily 6 ft. It's a cool place to be.
Aratirion said on 9/May/08
What shoes did Johnny wear? His usual 1 - 1.5 inch heeled boots? Your husband was probably 5'11 in sandals (except they had a big sole; there are some with an inch sole), Johnny 5'10.5 in boots. Yep, the same estimate again, 5'9 - 5'9.5.
