Kevin is the same height as Kiefer Sutherland, who is 5’ 8.5” and stood next to our own Rob.

Bacon looked 5’9 in the Guardians Holiday Special. I’m guessing he was 5’10 at his peak and lost a bit of height currently

I popped along to Amazon a few minutes ago and a film entitled ‘You Should Have Left’ was advertised. It has an exciting write-up, and stars Amanda Seyfried with Kev.
When I saw that there was only one copy left, I simply had to buy it. What could I do? 🤷♀️💿
Amazon knows me TOO WELL! 😂🤣😂

@Vick Jane Moretti this is a low camera angle which reduces the difference. Rob is well aware of liars and can spot height-enhancing shoes reliably; he isn't going to list a 5ft 8.5 guy as 5ft 10

Kevin looks TALL in the above picture! Is it new, Rob?
I’ve come along to Kevin’s page to tell you guys about the movie ‘Cop Car’, in which Kev plays a thoroughly bent ‘n’ boozy killer Sheriff. A couple of little boys pinch his car, with the intention of having a game of ‘Cops’! They’re so young that you think, “How can their little legs reach the pedals?”
Anyway, Kevin’s Sheriff has a badly beaten crook in the boot. It isn’t long before the kids discover him, and he cons the boys into thinking that he’s a good guy, so they let him go. He isn’t, but the film hasn’t finished yet, so there’s no telling what will happen.
Kevin’s found his car and the boys and he’s asking them if they’ve opened the boot! I’ve never seen Mr Bacon playing a drunken, slobbish, violent. psycho-cop before, and it’s funny. II think it’s meant to be a comedy. Kevin sure looks like he’s enjoying the role, and I bet a pound to a pinch of 💩 that any write-ups I come across verify this.
Now I’m going to enjoy the rest…..
5ft10, despite being in his 60s.

Hoorah! My film 'Black Mass' has arrived today and it'll be very exciting to compare Kevin with Johnny Depp.
I don't know whether the movie is actually about the subject of black masses; I bought it because it has an interesting cast, including Benedict Cumberbatch, who will be taller than Kevin and Johnny.
Ah - I read a bit of the write-up and it doesn't seem to cover anything supernatural at all.
Another film I received this week is 'The Darkness'; it looked interesting when I saw a bit of it on the Horror Channel last week. With Mr Bacon starring, it's a guarantee to me that it won't disappoint! 😉
I'll be back later with this exciting actor's height....

I'm watching Kevin's film 'Tremors', which I haven't seen in years. It's quite funny really because the burrowing, underground, blood-thirsty worm-like monsters stink! 😷
As well as his and Kyra''s daughter, Sosie, the couple have a hunky, long-haired 5ft10 son called Travis. He plays in a group called Black Anvil, and acts as well, so he's taken after his singing Dad. I've seen Kyra sing too - and she's really good and thoroughly professional.
Kev gets 5ft10. 😄🎶🎵🎧🎸🎬

Rob have you seen the video of Kevin kissing Diane Keaton on the Graham Norton Show? Graham also kisses her and looks an inch smaller than her (Keaton was wearing heels) then Kevin kissed her and looked 2-3 inches taller than her. I think he at least deserves 5’10.5

The Woodsman is a fairly unknown film of his. Dark subject matter but fantastically acted by Bacon. He looked 5'10 in it as he does in other films.

Kevin has another new advert with bigger, bouncier hair. It probably adds at least another inch to his perceived height.

Many Happy Returns to Kevin Bacon, who is today celebrating his 62nd Birthday. I saw his first ever film, 'Friday The Thirteenth', at the cinema, and poor Kevin suffered a really horrible demise. That film was really pushing the boundaries for 1980!
Kevin so richly deserves his success, and two of my favourite films of his are 'Flatliners' and 'Hollow Man', both of which are highly original. I haven't seen 'Apollo 13' yet, or 'A Few Good Men', but I will definitely be doing so in the coming year.
This fantastic actor gets 5ft10. He has a fit, lean physique and I was surprised he wasn't nearer the 5ft11/11.5 mark when I first came here and checked him out.
🥂 Have a very enjoyable family Birthday, Kevin! 🍻😄👍

A typical 5'10 guy who could arguably pull off a solid 178 cm range with guys like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Bomer and Matthew Morrison in 2012 (age 53): Click Here, Click Here, though maybe with a slight footwear advantage?
He still looks taller than someone like Woody Harrelson (without knowing footwear): Click Here, Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. I guess 178 cm flat in his prime and 177 today at 61 is possible, but he might not have lost much at all.

178cm for Bacon, who is on some of the most annoying adverts in UK television history, almost as annoying as that "together forever" tetley tea advert.

Maybe his posture can be real poor? Would explain 5-9 estimates but 5-8?
Always thought he was the most solid

Also it's interesting how he's been guessed at 6-0.

He's a tough one because he has every bit the proportions of a 6ft'er (183cm) or lanky 5ft11 guy, especially in 'The Woodsman' (2003). Def. a couple of inches taller than a weak 5f9 Fred Ward in Tremors. I'd say Bacon was 5ft10.8/179cm peak and 177.5 178cm today at age 60.

Great actor hero creep funny anything he does it better than most.
Good posture most time very thin makes him look even taller than he is.
If the guy claim 5 10 I doubt he is 5 11 probably another very strong 5 10.
He does measure up with 6ers better than most so at peak a good half over the mark.

I was an extra in Patriot's Day. Kevin Bacon was standing next to me. I was within arms reach for a couple of minutes. I'm exactly 5'10" (with a large build, FWIW. 240 lb. bodybuilder). I put him at 6' 0". He is/was VERY thin. Of course I don't know what was in his shoes, such as lifts, but he was significantly taller than me, and I had gauging his height on my mind. 6' even, I say. And Mark Wahlberg looked my height exactly - 5'10". I don't know what he might have had in his shoes either, of course. His page says 5'8".

I thought Kevin Bacon was at least 5ft11 and as I have ownership of 10 of his films and seen far more than that, I feel that my estimates don't seem to account for much! I've come to the conclusion that my eye is NOT a trained one!
Anyway, what with Kevin in so many adverts at the moment, I have noticed that he is very lean, hence the likelihood of being fooled is greater. I am sure he was more muscly for his part in 'Hollow Man' than he is in the skin-tight red outfit he wears in his latest ad!
I rate him as an actor and was very impressed when I saw him play guitar and sing with his brother some years back. They were introduced as 'The Bacon Brothers!'

@Dmeyer: He also said that Sean Penn was 5ft6-7 so you'd be wise to take any of his estimates with a strong pinch of salt.
But I do think he could look 179-80cm range in the 80's-90's. Not much shorter than Alec Baldwin in She's Having A Baby

6'1 for Kevin Bacon is crazy the last film I Saw him in was the Woodsman and he looked 3.5 - 4 inches shorter than Benjamin bratt.
his definitely somewhere around 5 ft 10...both 5 ft 9.75 and 5 ft 10.25 wouldn't shock me.

I'd have thought a strong 5ft10 range when watching Mystic River. Easily 2in on Penn if not a bit more.

Rob, Kevin had way more than 2" on Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men.

That's minimum 3" (look at the top of their heads). Cruise is under 5'7" as I've been saying for years.
And another pic of 5'10" Kevin Bacon and Cruise.

He has been estimated between 5ft8-6ft1 in comments. The mean of that would be 5ft10.5", the picture of Jamie Oliver and him he looks a little taller, I've heard Jamie Oliver say he was 5ft10.

Very often on The Following he appeared 2-3in shorter than 5'11 Shawn Ashmore. Not saying Kevin is 5'8-9, as there may have been thicker footwear on Shawn and some crafty camera-work involved, but I do think 5'9.5 / 5'9.75 is more believable for Kevin. He can look closer to Shawn in some premiere-pics, but then he's the one having a footwear advantage. His hair also helps.

And Rob would you please have another look at James Purefoy, surely 6'1 is a bit much for him?

I'm having a hard time with this listing. Here he is with 5'9"(ish) Iam Somerhalder:

And, here are Somerhalder's boots, which are rather regular looking:

Even if we are to entertain Kevin is in flat shoes (and I don't see any reason to just assume that, but let's just for the scenario), it would seem that had Ian straightened up, we'd be talking a more than an inch difference. I don't see a full 5'10" in any kind of scenario in these pictures, but since we can't see his footwear, this can't be good evidence.

I think 5ft10.25 would be closer; actually I thought the 179cm was believable but he is slender which can make him appear taller. But I do think he's a solid 5'10; Look at him with Michael Fassbender who is listed at 5'11, but is likely a fraction under, and also he is comfortably taller than Charlize Theron; actually if I recall they we're barefoot, and he looked 2cm taller! And he was 2.5in taller than Cruise. He definently pulled off 179cm at times, I give him 5ft10.25...

I've met him at a party in CT. Talked for a while. He is 5'9" max, probably 5'8 1/2". I'm watching Stir of Echos now, and you notice that they don't cast any tall guys with him and many of the women are as tall as the guys. The one tall guy in a scene was carrying a kid and was stooped over, obvious direction. Real regular guy, very normal, not 5'10".

He is taller than 5 foot 10 or six foot, I do not know where some had came up with 5 foot 10 as the man's height and you can clearly see is taller than that. And in the other photo he's the tallest one in the group of the x man cast.

I'd go with the ranges of:
Hanks 180 - 182 cm
Bacon 177 - 179 cm
Howard 167 - 169 cm
Harris 173 - 175 cm
I think Bacon is around 5'10" +/- a bit. There are lots of people who think Hanks is a strong 6', I give him a strong 5'11" to a weak 6' tops. Clint Howard, 5'6 +/-. Ed Harris, a weak 5'9" or strong 5'8".

6'4" for Hanks doesn't even deserve to be taken seriously. Now Kevin Bacon is up to 6'3"!

At a swedich talkshow,he was wearing a little uplifting shoes,and he was just about as tall as one of the hosts,Fillip Hammar. And Fillip is not so tall,around 175 cm maybe.

He always had cowboy boots on in Footloose and was never seen next to costar Lori Singer without those boots on....she's about 5'10 or 5'11. I'd peg him at 5'9 on a good height day!

Perhaps he is nearer 5'11 then, very surpised. Its just he was towered by the David S. bloke in The River Wild and he is listed at 5'11.5" on here. Bacon was much more than an inch smaller!!

Wow, 5 ft 10.5 in really? Can't see it. I always thought Bacon was a 5'8" guy, 5'9" max. He always struck me as a guy a little below average not a little above it.

I was in London in the fall and ran into him. I am 5'9 and he was substatially shorter than I am. I would say 5'8 is even a stretch. I am actually amazed at how many actors are short. They really do create a different perspective on the big screen!

Looks around 5'9.5 or 5'9.75 could be 5'10 but I never seen him in person. Mabey his large face and head (and head shape) add to him seeming shorter?

I just went to see "Frost/Nixon" (Great Film!) Everyone is fantastic, but Kevin Bacon gets overlooked. He was VERY good. There are many scenes when he stands close to Frank Langella as Nixon, and he doesn't look that much shorter. Yet, having met both of them, I know that Langella is about 6-2 (Met him at the same time that I met nearly 5-10ish Clooney), not the 6-4 that he used to be billed at. I know people can't accept it, but Kevin Bacon is between 5-8 and 5-9. I met him a few years ago when he was promoting his film about a child molester. Kyra his wife was there too. As we all left, they came out into the lobby, and we were all on level ground. Some people actually gasped when they saw that Kevin was not as tall as he looks on screen. But the Nixon movie proves to me how camera angles, footwear, and body posture can affect our sense of height. If you go to see the film, and I highly recommend it, note how the camera position changes to minimize height differential for several folks.

I remember seeing him in a mall when he was filming that movie "Stir of Echoes" in Chicago. I'd say his height looked to be around 5'7" to 5'8". He was wearing gym shoes from what I could tell. Factor in if he normally wears 3" healed cowboy boots that would make him 5'10" to 5'11" with ease.

Kevin's band played in Ocean City, NJ, around August of 2008. A friend of mine had his photo taken with him. My friend is 6' tall. Bacon towered over him. It made me curious, and that's why I looked on this site. Does the guy wear lifts in his shoes?

should he stand straight he can look 181-182cm in shoes this make him 177-178cm barefoot max.
he got the built of a 177-178cm guy than 179-180cm.

I saw him while he was picking up his daughter at school. He was wearing boots, I'd say he's about 5-11 (definitely below 6 foot). He actually surprised me with his height, but it could be his skinny frame and the fact that he was surrounded by young schoolgirls. Now, if we can only pin down his exact height, then all of Hollywood would be revealed!

Kevin Bacon is 5.8.5 there's no getting around it! he used to be 5.10 indeed but must've lost an inch or so thanks to aging.
100% sure he is NOW 5'8.5 i saw him at the festival in Italy he was a guest, looked 5'10 with shoes on most probably includes lifts, i stood almost shoulder to shoulder, his posture wasn't slouching while standing straight but i agree he does slouch.
1.74cm is his true height and i ask you to please downgrade the 5.10 because is completely out, if anything at least put him at 5'9 that's the tops he is now! trust me.

Whatever, Bacon had some good inches over his 5'9 Tremors co-star Fred Ward. I'd say he's probably 5'11. Maybe a little taller, wouldn't be suprised.

Kevin Bacon does appear to be 5'11", however with his poor posture it's easy to understand how some people might mistake him for 5'9"

He looked about an inch shorter than Tom Hanks. Hanks is 5'11" so 5'10" sounds about right.

The final scene in "Mystic River" has Sean Penn (in those 2" s***kickers) at about an inch shorter than Bacon.
"Kevin is EXACTLY five eleven"
Did you measure him?
5'10 3/16" - no taller.

Kevin is exactly five eleven. I've met him. In the film A Few Good Men he towers over Tom Cruise who for some reason wore normal shoes in that film. Sean Penn is a shrimp. I'd say seeing him from a distance he looked to be only five six, maybe five seven max.

I think it's acutally possible for Bascon to be 5,9 although ive heard himbeing listed as 5,10 everyway.

Bacon had at least two inches on Sean Penn (probably 2-3 inches) in Mystic River, so if Penn is the 5'8+" that everybody seems to think he is, Bacon may be about 5'10".

Rob, Rob, why do you persecute me so? H. Fry is telling the truth. I agree that Kevin Bacon LOOKS 5-10, but the truth is he is not even 5-9. When I met he and his wife, I was talking to her, and he was standing directly next to her, not slouching, but looking up, because everyone he was talking to was taller than him!

Mr. R is totally correct. Ten years ago Kevin Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, walked into a restaurant where I was singing, and I went up and shook hands and chatted with them after the show. I was standing two feet away from him, so I can tell you for certain that Kevin is ABSOLUTELY NO TALLER THAN 5'8". I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't even a little shorter than that. I am 5'4", and I felt as if I was looking him at exactly his eye level. He is really a little guy!!! He is thin, slight, short, petite, compact, whatever you wanna call it. A great actor, but a small guy. Not a millimeter above 5'8".

Editor Rob well, that's some corroboration for Mr R's belief...
I would never picture bacon as ever wearing dodgy footwear, but in films can never see him looking 5ft 8. I'm still inclined to think that Bacon's slouching may give off a shorter image?

the skinny (even though he weighs a lot more than you'd expect)can look 6' sometimes. If not 6'1''. I guess heels and his slim face make him look that tall. I'd say he'S 5'10'' and he's listed as a 5'10''er so I'm happy :D.

Dear Editor, if you recall, I was the one who said that Kevin Bacon was no taller than 5-9. This pic seems to confirm my sighting, yes?

Think Rob is right on this one with 5'10". You can really only judge this guy by his off screen pics...

I originally had him at 5'11, but I would say he is more like 5'10-5'10.5. Chris Penn was taller than him in "Footloose." He has terrible posture, though.

DjocE, I am in agreement with you that Kevin looks at least 5-10, if not 5-11 on screen. But I stood right next to him, and at 5-11.5, I was clearly more than 2 inches taller. I do think that they give him shoes in his scenes, but that he doesn't do this in his real life. I stand by my 5-8.5 sighting.

I am not agree with you Mr R even if you tell to have seen him. I really think that kevin Bacon's height was near to 5ft10, if we think that gary of oldman height was 5ft10 and I think it too, so kevin bacon is absolutely not 5ft8.5 because in the film " criminal law " kevin is taller than gary oldman 0.5, and I' m sure he doesn' t wear lift.
as Anonymous I think is height is 5ft10.5 (179cm)

Well Anonymous, again, I stood right next to Kevin Bacon on solid ground at a movie screening. I would never believe him to be under 5-10 myself, but I saw him. He was pretty much the shortest man standing in the lobby, and my 5 foot friend remarked as to how short he was. At his tallest, Kevin Bacon is 5-9, but probably closer to 5'8.5". I stand by my direct eyewitness account.

There's a pic of Kevin and 5'8.5 Paul Newman. He's towering him clearly. Even if Kevin wears Lifts (which I don't think) (if someone claimes he does, I'd say Paul Newman wears Lifts too) he's not under 5'10 for sure. 5'10-5'11.

LOL back at you Mr. Klaus. I saw Kevin last December and stood next to him. I am 5'11.5", and he was at least 2 inches and more shorter than I. My friend, who is 5'1" noted that he was pretty short. Could he have been wearing strange footwear when you met him? Soon, I will buy a digital camera so that I will have physical proof to back up my assertions!

I said it before, and I'll say it again: I met Kevin last year, and he is about 5'8.5". I know he does not look like this on screen, but I saw him on level ground with regular heeled shoes.

Oke, but that doesn't prove he is under 5.10.. Maybe Lori Singer is 6', and downgrades herself, I'm not saying that it is so, but I know Geena six foot davis did it by two inches one time... But maybe Bacon grew a little after 1984 (not likely??) and has schrunk now a bit...
I must see that movie again...

Hell that Bacon...His height varies so much maybe 'cause of slouching, camera angles, lifts?...whatever...
Maybe these pics will help to determine his height. Now I really started doubting him being 5'10''...

What do you know?! Aging movie stars and rap stars boost their height alike! :-) Kevin Bacon? 6'0"? That's funny. He's somewhere from an even 5'8" or maybe CLOSE to 5'10". He and Wycelf are the same height. I'll try to post some pictures of those two. Also, he's extremely thin and lanky which makes him seem tall at times.

Okay Rob, you knew it was coming. I saw Kevin Bacon last November at a screening of The Woodsman. On flat ground, even with spiky hair, Kevin was no taller than 5'8.5". I know its crazy, but my neighbor who was with me would confirm it.
