Yeah looking back at that video when Ben calls him short he says he 5'10.5". I think it's pretty funny how so many 5'9-10" guys claim 5'10.5", do they like that half inch because it puts them slightly above national average? Sly, LeBlanc, Damon, Tyson. It seems like such arbitrary addition.

He looked an inch or so shorter than McCanaughey in Interstellar. I agree with most of the posters here, weak 5'10".

You are supposed to measure your height with shoes off in the morning, when you are slightly taller. I am 6'0.5" tall when I get out of bed, but I am 6' in the evening. This is my measurement without shoes.
Actors tend to give their heights in shoes. Athletes usually give their heights without shoes but not always.
Darren510 said on 26/Nov/14
He probably is about 5'10. Affleck is 6'2-6'2.5. They did 3 movies together, plus loads of other pics of them hanging out.Affleck really never towers Damon
@Bob said on 25/Nov/14
You're supposed to measure yourself with your shoes off barefoot on a solid floor.
Bob said on 23/Nov/14
Hey guys. I'm 6'2.75 in shoes. Would that be my height or am I supposed to measure it with shoes off?
Tim1.79 said on 20/Nov/14
@ Joe He wasn't two inches shorter than him, and McConaughey is not 5'11.5" or 182cm.
My best estimate for Damon will be 177cm
Joe said on 18/Nov/14
Matt Damon is probably 5-9, during Interstellar he stood about two inches shorter than 5'11.5" Matthew McConaughey.
Can't Stop Addicted said on 10/Nov/14
Rob, would you consider a slight adjustment to 5' 9.75"? I think people could live with that. He does appear 5' 10" but can often look noticeably shorter.
xi said on 6/Nov/14
5'9. Watch the Bourne filma and School Ties. He's average height but he was reporred 5'11 in the late 90s
One Seventy-Six said on 5/Nov/14
I think this listing is out, but only by half an inch. I think he'd measure 5' 9.5" barefoot, by the evening. Doesn't strike me as a solid 5' 10". He can look 5' 10"+ at times. But he appears below 5' 10" too often to ignore, in my opinion.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Nov/14
Watched The Departed again the other night and I was surprised how much taller Alec Baldwin looked next to him, oddly looked easily 6 ft in comparison. He made Damon look barely 5 ft 9.
Prince said on 29/Oct/14
Matt Damon at best is 5'9 1/2 barefoot. He's probably 5'9 1/4" for first few hours of the day and drops to 5'9" barefoot after standing for 5 or 6 hours.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Oct/14
Rob, could 5ft10½ be early morning for Damon?
Editor Rob
a chance he dips a little bit shy of 5ft 10 so 5ft 10.5 morning could be a good shout.
He - man Bran said on 26/Oct/14
Why does this site have him at 5'10"? I actually find this site very credible and accurate but this is simply wrong. We all know he is no taller than 5'9".
lelman said on 25/Oct/14
Rob, do you think it's possible he is just shy this? The amount of downgrading he gets is hard to ignore.
Editor Rob
you can argue a 1/4 inch under this mark yes, but as low as 5ft 9 I wouldn't want to argue that.
keith said on 12/Oct/14
5 foot 8.5 to 9
184.3cm said on 9/Oct/14
He always looks shorter than George Clooney whos around 179cm so id guess him 176-177cm.
The Truth said on 8/Oct/14
Matt Damon is 5'9".
Vibram said on 5/Oct/14
He is 176cm at daybreak
Carter said on 29/Sep/14
A guy I work with said he walked right by Matt in a gym and said he was "a couple of inches shorter than me...but really jacked....solid with big shoulders, etc." He also said he gave off a kind of "approach with caution" presence because of his very muscular build. And my buddy claims 6 feet even, but is really a bit under. So, my guess is that five-ten for Matt is a tiny bit generous...and that he's really around 5'9.5. I just saw him in that Liberace movie too...and he looks pretty tall in the scene by the pool. Legs seem way too long for someone under five-nine.
SAK said on 20/Sep/14
It difficult to give a estimate for this guy. 177cm seems a good bet. But Damons has stumpy building so will appear short.
Pete said on 18/Sep/14
Yeah, he does look like 5ft 10 but that's because of his footwear. To me, Matt has always seemed to be about 5'8. If he really was 5'10 he'd look (at least) 6 ft because he's always wearing massive boots and/or lifts.
Arch Stanton said on 14/Sep/14
He can look 5'9" range but I think he'd be near 5 ft 10. The big prominent toothy grin is at least explainable though, both his parents have a particularly wider grin and wide teeth! Click Here Click Here
blink said on 11/Sep/14
He does not look 5'10 like Kevin Bacon. I would say he's in the 5'9 range
true33 said on 9/Sep/14
What is wrong with some people here? Is like you need him to be tall. Damon is about 5.8 1/2. He is the farthest from tall than u can get. Pitt has 3 inches on him. Watch the Informant and tell me he is 5 10
Clay said on 8/Sep/14
Rob's 5'10'' is too high, as always Viper's 5'8'' flat is too low. He's 5'9'' evening guy.
Julian said on 7/Sep/14
I agree with @evil; he does look 5' 9.25" or 176 cm to me as well.
cole said on 29/Aug/14
@truth: Yeah, he looks like he could measure right between those marks (176 and 177). 176,5 cm - 5ft 9.5in.
Wouldn't completely rule out 177 cm flat though (5'9.75), but I can't see him pushing 178 cm at his low, no way.
truth said on 28/Aug/14
yeah something like 176-177cm range is most beleivable (he would measure a few mm above 176cm but a few mm below 177cm).
The Horse of FUNK said on 26/Aug/14
I get the feeling his recent claim of 5'10.5" is probably a morning measurement, hence why he's only now starting to claim it. I've always pegged him to be a weak 5'10", like 5'9.5" - 5'9.75", and that would corroborate with my guesstimate.

He's just got a very, very stocky build; very wide bone structure. And it's true, when people get wider or fatter, the shorter it makes them look.
Micky said on 26/Aug/14

Recently claimed 5'10.5, maybe 5'9.5 flat and around the 5'10.5 range footwear
5'9.5 flat and just rounds it to 5'10
5'10.5 in footwear
evil said on 24/Aug/14
looks like he is 176cm to me
cole said on 23/Aug/14
@Editor Rob: How tall do your recon Neill Blomkamp is, about the same as Sharlto - 5'11.5? You can find shots where Matt looks 2in shorter than him (he also looks 2in shorter than Sharlto in most pics for that matter): Click Here Note how much shorter Matt's legs is compared to Neill's in the pic you posted and in this one... Matt seems to be wearing lifts.
5'9.5 is a fair listing, I wouldn't go much higher than that. He's obviously taller than just 5'8, but he's never a solid 5'10 guy.
Editor Rob
it is quite possible he's a fraction over 5ft 11 yeah
Clay said on 23/Aug/14
5'7-5'8 is hate-crimeish, but I would expect nothing less from some trolls that visit here. He's in that 5'9-5'10 territory.
jtm said on 15/Aug/14
he had a footwear advantage and was still 5 inches shorter than affleck. most poeple would agree that affleck isn't taller than 6'2 but even if he is the 6'2.5 listed here that is still not enough to make damon 5'10.
Arch Stanton said on 15/Aug/14
Got a good look at him in Green Zone last night next to Brendan Gleeson and the 5'7-5'8" claims are really silly. Yes, at times he can give a 5'8"-5'9" impression because he's a stocky guy but he honestly looked around 5 ft 10. I could buy 177 but I really think he's actually near this.
lee said on 15/Aug/14
5'7 god what trolls some people are, at worst he might be 5'9.5, Good actor
groundedtv said on 14/Aug/14
Yes He is 5'7" as i worked on a movie with him and same height as me - I have to say also he is a really nice guy, no star diva , really nice to all crew
wells said on 14/Aug/14
He is NOT 5'10. I stood right nest to this guy on the subway. We got off at the same stop. W.23 St. He was in sneakers and he came up to my neck. I am 5'11. And when he exited he was on tip toes. I couldn't believe it. He is 5'7 tops!
aidan said on 5/Aug/14
His height is 5'10". What is his weight in the bourne identity??
TJE said on 29/Jul/14
*No more than a centimeter
TJE said on 28/Jul/14
He's got a short torso and movies rarely show his legs, so he can seem shorter. He could be 5'10 flat at lunch time and drop a few millimeters by nighttime. He's a good example of a weak 5'10.

Here's a good pic of him with Ben Affleck:

Click Here

I think Matt has thicker footwear, more than a centimeter though.
176,2Tunman said on 4/Jul/14
@Rhonda
177,8 is exactly a flat 5'10 so it's still possible.He could look that with 5'8 Cecile de France but it's hard to give height to the mm.I'm almost sure he wouldn't hit the 178 mark at his lowest but could be near it though.How much near is the question.177 to 177,8 is more likely than 178 to 178,5 anyways.
Josh said on 4/Jul/14
Matt Damon is definitely 5'10". While watching The Bourne Identity I noticed that when he's next to actress Franka Potente he's like one inch taller than her, and she's listed as 5'9"
nickname1 said on 17/Jun/14
177.5, not a full 5 10 but pretty darn close
Meltdown said on 15/Jun/14
The very first several comments I think were on point.

Most Hollywood types add 1 to 1.5 inches to their "official" heights for their reputation. Matt Damon might be a weak 5'9, but he has the body of a 5'7.5 guy and a slightly larger head. I'd say 174-175 cm. I know a guy with the exact same body proportions and he was a good inch shorter than me. I am 5'10 morning, 5'9.25 night.
Rhonda said on 10/Jun/14
176,2Tunman said
Again 5'10 is possible but the more I see the more I'm convinced he's rather 177 than 78.=======How about 177.8cm? I am thinking 177.8cm could be his height and it is not quite the 178cm but under it by 2mm. I think this could be the height he is. You with me?
Daniel said on 8/Jun/14
This whole :I saw his height in a passport in a movie or anything like that" does not mean much....In the movie Sudden Death, there is a screen shot of Van Damme's information which show him as 5"11...obviously not accurate
the shredder said on 28/May/14
The " He is shorter than Clooney/Pitt , he has to be 5'8 " argument is the lamest , it means nothing because their heights vary and Matt at most likely 5'9.5 is shorter than both to begin with. He is not Rob's height.
176,2Tunman said on 27/May/14
Rob,in Monuments Men,he seemed a little shorter than Clooney like 0.75".You have Clooney at 5'10.75 and he was definitely 5'10.5-10.75 in his heydays but I think he's likely to be closer to 5'10 than 11 today somewhere between 5'10.25 and 10.5 so Damon rather 5'9.5-9.75.
Again 5'10 is possible but the more I see the more I'm convinced he's rather 177 than 78.
hammer said on 25/May/14
He's 5' 8" at most. Look at any movie he's in with Pitt and Clooney who are both DEFINITELY under 6 ft. They both have at least 2-3 inches on him. He is a little man.
RisingForce said on 25/May/14
Has to be taller than just 5'9", imo since he usually looks it and is consistently taller than guys thought to be about 5'9" themselves. Look at the picture at the top of the Heath Ledger page, looks unlikely he has lifts yet looks about 5'10" if Heath was 6'1", though did look more 5'9"-5'9.5" in a couple of other pics from that day in all fairness. I think 5'10" possible, but he also could have taken his recent claim in shoes and simply rounded up for his initial, lower claim.
nick said on 16/May/14
at one part in The Bourne Identity it said this,about jason bourne:

Height:5'9"

Weight:165

Hair:Light brown

Eyes:blue


is this true about matt damon?

He might not be 5 '10 but he is not 5'8 also.

This Guy CAN look Anywere 177-179cm
Hypado said on 30/Apr/14
Ben Afleck - 189cm
Matt Damon - 177cm
RisingForce said on 30/Apr/14
Thanks, Lorne, appreciate it. SAK, I never said a full 5'11", I said he can look near it, as far as examples, well, if Ben Affleck is really 6'2.5", then as I said, I usually see 4" between the two such as here where I see 4" max. Click Here He actually looks 5'11" there to me if Affleck is 6'2.5", and Affleck is at least 6'2" so he's passing for his 5'10.5" claim there at worst. Damon could also look 5'10.5"-5'11" range if Norton is really 6 foot, looked similar to Brad Pitt in Rome in 2004 and Pitt is minimum 5'10.5", max 5'11", imo and there was a series of full body pics where I'm not sure I saw a full 2 inch difference with 6 foot Tom Hanks, though Hanks was probably dropping posture. Plus, Damon can look more than just an inch taller than 5-9ish Andy Garcia at times, imo.

Don't get me wrong, I don't actually think Damon is that tall. I think about 5'10" is a good guess, but certainly no more and 5'9.5" is also possible, but unless the listings on this site are noticeably off, I maintain that he can look near 5'11" at times, and those are the examples when I think he has.
Sam said on 30/Apr/14
Perhaps in his Jason Bourne boots, Damon hits 5'10.5", although at times he can pull off seeming 5'10" barefoot, but often looks a smidge under rather than over that mark.
Damon said on 29/Apr/14
Click Here Here's the link to one of his 5'10.5 claims about halfway through the video. I think the claim would work better if Ben Affleck were 6'3! But, I think Ben Affleck is 6'2.5, and the vid shows a decent amount of difference. Matt's eyeline seems to be just below Ben's lips. I would say 5'9.75-5'10 is a good shout. But, I that's assuming normal footwear from both parties
Lorne said on 25/Apr/14
I must say Risingforce, I am agreeing with a lot of your posts lately and they are nice and detailed. Just giving you a shout-out I guess!!!
jtm said on 25/Apr/14
3 inches shorter than alec baldwin, 2 or at least 1.5 shorter than anthony mackie, and over 4 inches shorter than bill murray. i could go on and on. he is not 5'10 or even close to it.
SAK said on 25/Apr/14
RisingForce says: Damon generally looks about 5'10", and can look close to 5'11"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry when has he ever looked 5f11. I have never seen him look 5f11. When I see him he looks below average or average (at best). To me he looks anywhere between 176-178cm. So 177cm for would be a good bet imo.
the shredder said on 25/Apr/14
I can't see 5 '8 for him or Gibson
RisingForce said on 24/Apr/14
Damon generally looks about 5'10", and can look close to 5'11", which is strange because I don't suspect he's a lift wearer, except for full body pics taken in Rome in 2004 where his shoes looked fairly bulky, his legs looked longer than usual and he looked about the same height as Brad Pitt who at other times has 2 inches on Damon, though Pitt often looks about 6 feet. The Pitt-Clooney-Damon comparisons are the one thing that makes me a bit skeptical about 5'10" because Pitt is clearly the tallest of the 3 and minimum 5'10.5", but no taller than 5'11" based on his early claim. When Clooney and Damon stand together you can see that he's only slightly taller than Damon, though he has the proportions of a taller man. Damon has relatively short legs and a fairly stocky frame which make him appear shorter, but there's no chance he's 5'8" as some think, just look at him next to guys around 5'8". The height difference with Michael Douglas could vary at the Emmys and premieres, but it was always at least an inch, and often 2 inches. Similarly, he consistently looked an inch and a half to 2 inches taller than Robert De Niro, and always looks a couple of inches taller than Mark Wahlberg. Most importantly, he's consistently taller than 5'9" range guys like Andy Garcia, Jason Patric and Casey Affleck to name a few. He also looks about 4 inches shorter than Ben Affleck rather than 5.

I use to think 5'9.5" was the best guess, but now I think that's his minimum and this listing is good. 5'10.5" is probably his morning height or possibly shoes height.
Mitch said on 23/Apr/14
Rob, Damon can't be over 5'10", he's one of those celebrities that places to much emphasize on his height. Also, the doctor said I'm 5'11" and that was barefoot, but then I was measured at 6' with shoes on... Which do I say when people ask me? I'm just asking because people have told me I look anywhere from 5'10" all the way up to 6'2" because I'm so skinny. And I'm tired of saying 5'11 and people responding, "No you're at least 6'!" Or vice versa.
Editor Rob
apparently our former GotoGuy on this site had an in depth conversation on their heights and they agreed that Matt had to be over 5ft 10 and near 5ft 11, and that of course the GotoGuy was 5ft 8....I suppose it was a mutually beneficial agreement of sorts! If you add an inch, then I can add one too!
SAK said on 10/Apr/14
I have seen quite a few films of his lately. He never seems to look a full 5f10/178cm though. I would peg him between 176-177cm. I think 177cm would be a better listing for him.
Shell said on 9/Apr/14
I saw Damon in Vegas while they were filming the first oceans movie. I was shocked at how small he looked, no way he is 5 ft 10 in , he didn't even look 5 ft 9 in. Maybe 5 ft 8 in, I'm 5 ft 9 in tall and I was westing flat shoes and he was not as tall as me. My friends saw many of the actors from that movie the week we were there and we were all surprised at how much shorter they all looked in real life.
AJ said on 5/Apr/14
In stuck on you looks about the same height as greg kinnear, a quarter inch taller at max. I think 177cm is better than 178.
SaveUsY2J said on 4/Apr/14
I'm with Shredder on this one. He doesn't look a full 5'10 but never looks as low as 5'8" either.
lelman said on 3/Apr/14
@JamesB it's obviously a joke, the whole thing is them ripping it out of each other as a joke. Although, compared to Ben Affleck, Damon IS short.
chrisssss said on 3/Apr/14
In the bourne movies, he was listed 5'9(175cm) in his passport, i'd say he's that height, cuz jimmy kimmel ISNO TALLER THAN 180CM and looks 2 inches taller, so 5'9 for damon
the shredder said on 27/Mar/14
5'9.5 , not 5'10 not 5'8

The tallest he can be is 178cm. I think he is inbetween 5'9 and 5'10
Brad said on 20/Mar/14
Now claiming 5' 10.5". This guy is a clown. He gets owned by Clooney & Pitt in every Oceans film with ease.
jtm said on 19/Mar/14
5'8 range. look at him next to bill murray.
Realist said on 18/Mar/14
About an inch taller than Walhberg. Comments like that of affleck should be taken with a pinch of salt. They think a 5'6 guy is a 5'8 guy. They're estimation is about 2 inches more always. Affleck is so big that anyone would feel small in front of him.

FM said on 13/Mar/14
He definitely wears some padded footwear. That's how he goes from this:
Click Here

To this:
Click Here

At times he looks just shy of 5'11.5" Kimmel, at other times he looks a full two inches shorter.

The passport pic below from The Bourne Identity I think is pretty accurate - I can see him at 5'9" and wears big footwear. Although, in Pineapple Express the police readout has Seth Rogen at 5'9", so heights listed in movies should be taken with a grain of salt. I do think, however, that he's about an 1.5" shorter than George Clooney.

5'9"

176,2Tunman said on 3/Mar/14
Rob,if we consider than Dicaprio is maybe a little closer to 5'11 than 6' like 181 perhaps Damon is more likely 176.5-77?In the most reliable scenes of The Departed he looked at least a good 4 cm shorter than Dicaprio.I think he dips a little under 5'10 more 177 than 178 in my opinion,perhaps his 5'10.5 is first thing out of bed,or evening height with standard 0.75-1" shoes?
Editor Rob
dicaprio maybe wore lifts in films we didn't expect? I know for Aviator he had them, but who knows what other films?

Dural said on 26/Feb/14
@MD
I said I see an inch and a half difference, not only half-an-inch. The second pic they are barefoot and it's a full body shot, that's why it's a decent pic. The third pic not so much, I admit.

@StopHijackingMyNick

Don's eyes are exactly at the tip of Matt's nose, not under his nose. Damon has a very small nose not to forget. At the very max it's a 2inch difference, but that's generous. Cheadle is listed 5'7.5" which is Rob's opinion. My guess is 5'7" for Cheadle and a weak 5'9" for Damon.
MD said on 25/Feb/14
You've got to be kidding me (and that's just on the one half-way decent pic at the end, Dural, if you only see half-an-inch difference, there. The first picture they are all out of step with one another, and the second pic you can't tell anything.
Freddy said on 24/Feb/14
big lol at the 5'10.5 claim^^
first of all a legit 5'10.5 (179cm) man in hollywood, would just claim 5'11 since its almost the same height, but 180cm sounds just so much better...damon on the other hand cant go that high because he knows nobody would buy it then

...secondly, c'mon the man can be lucky if he pulls off a weak 5'10 on a good day....5'9.5 is my bet
StopHijackingMyNick said on 24/Feb/14
Dural in first two pics he looks roughly 2 inches taller, in the last one 3 inches (must be the camera angles). Don Cheadle is 5ft7.5, Matt Damon is clearly about 5ft9.5. Dons eyes in the first pic come roughly under his nose, that is 2.5 inches, take into account his bad posture he would be 2 inches taller still. In the second pic Matt is stomping a bit, Don is standing straight and it still looks 1.5-2 inches, he would be 2+ inches taller standing straight. Last pic is a pretty bad pic, so we can exclude that one for analysing.
jtm said on 24/Feb/14
cheadle is now listed at 5'7.5(that is still questionable) and damon certainly doesn't look 2.5 taller.
Sam said on 24/Feb/14
He can look from 1.5 to 2 inches taller than 5'7.5" Don Cheadle, IMO. This supports that he might be around 5'9.5", at least after the morning.
Dural said on 23/Feb/14
He's no more than an inch and a half taller than 5'7"ish Don Cheadle. How do you explain 5'10"+ or even 5'9.5"?

JC said on 22/Feb/14
I kinda believe he would be 5'10 1/2 sometimes I claim 5'9 sometimes 5'9 1/2 and sometimes 5'10 so he could be between 5'10 and 5'11
the shredder said on 21/Feb/14
5'9.5 seems perfect. Noway 5'10.5 or 5'8. The same with Mel Gibson .
Paul177 said on 18/Feb/14
Rob, didn't Matt Damon meet Matt Dawson once? Dawson is a legit 179 cm guy. It would be interesting to see how Damon measured up to him! Unless Damon had footwear advantage.
Editor Rob
I put a link to the only photo I found of them a few weeks ago, but of course damon was nearer the camera so it wasn't of much use!
Paul177 said on 18/Feb/14
Rob, how convinced are you that he'd be (within say half a centimetre) of 5' 10", if you measured him? If not, then I think he should be altered to 5' 9.5". My estimate: 5' 9.25" (176 cm)
Editor Rob
5ft 9.5-10 I think is the range you can argue for him...
Brad said on 18/Feb/14
His 5' 10.5" claim is as bad as Wahlberg's steaming pile. He really wants to be Pitt & Clooney height, but; he's the guy shorter than them. Sorry Matt, the Bourne bricks you wore are Diesel inspired.

Yeah, the 5'10.5" is definitely in shoes.
Pizzaman said on 16/Feb/14
Seems our Matt is becoming more sensitive about his height as well. He is always in bulky footwear, easily more than an inch, and now this new claim. While 5'10" could be seen as innocent rounding up (although 5'9" would be closest), this new claim is just a plain lie (no, I don't buy it that every actor who claims an inch too much, claims it in shoes, that is just naive). What he says about Northern Europe is just plain silly too, he is already a way above the world average, or maybe he means the white men average, but then he would still be very average (without Northern Europe) and not above it. Well, at least he knows where the tallest people live, he has that right.
Bryan said on 15/Feb/14
Matt Damon: if you take out northern europe then i'm way above average
Pizzaman said on 15/Feb/14
What is he saying in that video? Can't really hear him since he is turned. I am 5'10.5" and if you take out Northern Europe, then ...? Anyways, Affleck looks 5" taller there and I think he is 188.5, that would make Damon 176.

Anyways, seen him in the Monuments Men and as I stated on Clooney's page (see there), he looks very identical to him, maybe 1-2 cm shorter and also very similar to Blanchett, so maybe just 175 for Damon.

He doesn't look 5'10.5" next to Affleck, that's for sure. Weak 5'9".
Balrog said on 15/Feb/14
I know he has a stocky build but he doesn't look 5'10'', looks 5'9'' most of the time. Even in that video next to Affleck who I think is a legit 6'2'' man he looks 5'9'' range.

Yep he claims 5'10 and a half so should be at the top ... I take it that is in shoes and he is 5'9.5 .

tom said on 12/Feb/14
I don't think he's quite 5'10". If you look at the pictures on Brad Pitt's page on this site, he is 2 inches shorter than him at least, and the slippers Pitt is wearing can't be giving him that much of a lift. He looks comparable to my own build - wake up 178, go to bed 176 - if not slightly shorter. 5'10" isn't a crazy claim but he looks lower to me. Compare him to somebody like Michael C Hall and he doesn't look that tall.
jtm said on 11/Feb/14
dicaprio was barely taller than tom hardy. he is not 5'11.5.
176,2Tunman said on 7/Feb/14
He doesn't seem more than 1.75-2in shorter than Dicaprio who is a good 5'11.5 maybe 5'11.25 at worst.Possibly 5'9.5-9.75 is more likely than a full 5'10?He could even look a flat 5'9 at times .Still 176 is the lowest arguable in my opinion.Most reliable figure is 177 or 5'9.75
chrissss said on 7/Feb/14
correction, the passpoart says 175cm, so then he's a solid 5'9
Editor Rob
I wouldn't pay as great attention to that until he changes his own claim to 5ft 9, but he's been saying 5ft 10 for a while.

176 cm is closer to the truth
truth said on 6/Feb/14
Probably 5ft9.5.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Feb/14
He's not as small as you think but his stocky build makes you think he's 5 ft 8-5'8.5!. He's definitely not 5'8" range, but a case could certainly be made for 5'9" range.

Rob do you agree at times Damon can look very solid 5'10 like 178cm flirting with 5'10.25 of course can look 5'9.5 too
Editor Rob
he can look 5ft 9.5-10 generally, at times any guy can look taller yeah - you can look 6ft in photos aswell. It's a shame Here that Damon wasn't side by side with matt dawson as that guy is 179 range.

I plan on doing this site a long time, when I'm 60 we'll be talking about whether Sly is 5ft 5 and whether a 85 year old Arnie is now the heading towards 5ft 8.

The good thing though...if you are old, have lost height and then pass away, you actually end up growing back to your peak on celebheights!

Clooney is 5ft9.75 to be exact, Damon is 5ft9 or 5ft9.25
Han said on 18/Jan/14
Rob, I really think you should put 5'9.5" instead, clooney just looks more than .75" taller than him in socks.
1.25" seems perfect between the two, so if Clooney is 5'10,75", Damon has to be 5'9",

He doesn't look like he's 5'10"... All guys round their height up when they tell somebody, as it said they told him his height himself. He's probably 5'9" or so.
phamus said on 31/Dec/13
All male celeb's publicists and studios inflate their hgt. I suppose the macho, hero roles they play wouldn't be possible by someone short? Matt Damon is not tall but in some photos he's taller than Minnie Driver others he's shorter. Next to Jimmy Kimmel he is shorter but not much, lifts no lifts who knows,but why should we care? He's a fine actor and a decent human being - 5'6" or 5'10"probably in the middle.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Dec/13
179-180cm straight out of bed, I reckon.
Dmeyer is right, he doesn't fall below 177cm at night.

MD said on 24/Dec/13
Maybe they got deleted when Rob accidentially deleted my posts (though, they may be on Michael Douglas's page), but he is considerably more than an inch taller than Michael Douglas, which simply means Douglas is overlisted. It is certainly not an inch difference.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Dec/13
Damon 177-178cm, Clooney 179-180cm, Pitt 180-181cm

cole said on 22/Dec/13
Proportionally and compared to most people he just seems to come off as shorter than 5'10. He could be in the 5'9.5 range, but much over that I'm having a hard time seeing. Definitely shorter than Pitt, and probably shorter than Clooney (although they can seem similar at times, probably due to Clooney slouching a bit).

The way I see it at the moment:
Brad Pitt: 5ft 10.5in - 5ft 11in (179-180 cm range)
George Clooney: 5ft 10in - 5ft 10.5in (178-179 cm range)
Matt Damon: 5ft 9.25in - 5ft 9.75in (176-177 cm range)

Is this someting you can agree with, Rob? Surely you must be beginning to doubt this 5'10 listing for Damon?
dmeyer said on 22/Dec/13
Damon is a strong 177cm he dosnt dipp under 177cm like 5'9.75 probably wakes 179cm , not as short as 5'9.5/176.5cm , can pull of 5'10

I have a friend who's just under 6 feet who just told me he talked to Damon at a gym in L.A. He said Damon was bigger, in terms of shoulders, muscles, etc., than he expected...and also that he was a couple of inches shorter than him. This would make him around 5'9.5.

@Paul177: I have to agree with you that Cheadle doesn't look 5'8 most of the time, especially next to Denzel Washington, in 'Flight'. Damon does look about 2-2.25in taller I'd say, so I'd go with 5'9.5 / 5'9.75 for Damon and 5'7.25 / 5'7.5 for Cheadle.

In a perfect world they'd stand within an inch or two of eachother, facing the camera, which was lined up at a perfect angle, both barefoot with equal posture, no hats, shaved heads, and standing on a perfectly straight floor. You might as well just go ahead and delete every single picture you've got with celebs so far, and re-do it in this manner, Rob! :P

I've never seen proof that he's a lift wearer but at times he can even look 5'11" which is suspicious...
Arch Stanton said on 17/Oct/13
Actually Rhonda he looks 5'9" range in that photo! Affleck is 189cm, not 191-3 cm, he was claiming his shoe height when he said 6'3.5". I agree that Damon has to be near 5'10" but he often gives a short impression because of his stocky build. For some reason he gives off a 5'8" impression at times which he isn't.
jtm said on 14/Oct/13
maybe that's because affleck doesn't wear lifts?

Frank said on 7/Oct/13
I think that this height for him is not bad, perhaps 177 cms would be closer, but not shorter.
Sometimes he has bad postures and he is not slim so perhaps he looks shorter in some moments or with rare angles in camera.
He is not tall of course but he is not short neither.
truth said on 26/Sep/13
I think he is 175cm at night flat, 177/178cm morning.
heightist said on 23/Sep/13
I don't think he's 5-10 because I've never heard of a real 5-10 guy getting called short unless it was for basketball or other sports....if he's 5-10 or close to 5-10 with big shoes on that's different

Yes the camera angles and distances vary but those two guys are listed the exact same height yet compare their proportions. Also needless to say that Damon has a minimum inch of more footwear here.

Damon is 5'9 range proportionally imo, he simply looks too stocky for 5'10

yeah those pics are in Copleys favour. Go on Sharlto Copleys page and see the pics with him. He looks 5ft8 on this page but there he looks 5ft9 since he is equally closer to the camera. And Sharlto is more 180-181cm (no lower than that) and he looks 2 inches shorter. I would give him 175-176cm, no more.

mlogan said on 27/Aug/13
By the pics with Sharlto Copley, 5ft 9inches may not be the case! With all things being equal, the shoes, lifts, a level ground surface etc. I think 5ft 8inches flat is accurate for Matt. Matt is really an average looking dude.

If he says 5'10 himself, he could be honest, and he could be 5'8-9 range (as 5'10 generally seems like the ideal height for 5'8 guys to claim). But let me be clear, I don't see him as a 5'8-er. I would say in the 5'9.5 - 5'10 range is what he generally looks next to fellow actors. So I wouldn't lable him as the worst liar out there.
Iceman said on 31/Jul/13
I do remember them listing Jason Bourne as 5'9" in the Bourne Identity. Damon barely looks taller then 5'8" Franka Potente when they are wearing similar footwear. I think 5'9" is a better listing for Damon. You can't base actors heights of how tall they look in movies. Heights can be easily manipulated with boxes and camera angles. Premiere photos are much better.
Yaspaa said on 28/Jul/13
I wonder why he was listed as 5'9 in Bourne?

I'm inclined to believe Matt Damon is 5ft 10in after seeing many pictures of him next to Michael Douglas (listed 5ft 9in here) from Behind the Candelabra, both promo pics and at the red carpet. Damon is clearly at least 1 1/2 inches taller than Douglas, if not 2 inches. So if people doubt Damon's 5ft 10in, then we should downgrade Douglas.
jtm said on 31/May/13
much closer to 5'8.

The camera always makes actors look much taller than they are. Raquel Welch was working on a film in my area. I dropped by to watch. There was a short, attractive, but rather plain woman standing next to me. I turned to a guy on the other side of me and asked him, "Where is Raquel Welch?" He looked at me dumbfounded. I asked again and he muttered under his breath, "Right next to you." I was floored that she was standing right next to me. I always thought of Raquel as a very statuesque woman, but she was much, much shorter and more slender in person.

I saw Matt Damon in Vegas while they were filming the first Oceans movie and I was surprised at how short he was. I'm a 5 ft 9 in woman and though I wasn't standing right next to him there is no way he is close to my height. I would say more like 5ft 7in and that is being generous. My friends and I saw many of the actors from that movie and they are all very short. I stood right next to Andy Garcia and I towered over him and I had flats on. Everytime I see an actor I'm always shocked at how short they are in real life. Everyone lies about their height, especially men. My son is 6ft 3in tall and he has stood next to men who claim to be 6ft 4in or 6ft 5in and he is taller than them.

Sorry guys, met him in Malibu on the sand in California, no hidden shoe lifts. He is 5'8", if that. I'm 5'10", my son who is 5' recognized him. easily 2 inches shorter than me. Looks good for his height.

I happened to walk past Matt in Tribeca a few years ago when he was shooting the third Bourne film, within three feet of him on a flat road surface. We stood exactly eye to eye and I had the wherewithal at the time to look back and spot-check his shoes. Our soles were comparable. He's 5'9.5"

Bourne Booties, the chunky bricks to make him taller. As I've said so many times: look at him with Clooney & Pitt, at 5' 10" you don't owned like that.

In The Talented Mr. Ripley he sometimes looked as tall as Gwyneth Paltrow (who's listed as 5'10) and sometimes a bit taller, but that was due to camera angles, i think they wanted him to appear at least a little taller than the lady.

5'10 is overly generous. 5'9 range: 5'8.75 - 5'9.25.
truth said on 28/Dec/12
from 5ft8.25 to 5ft9 is fair.
Mathew said on 27/Dec/12
I see Damon as 175 - 176 cm range.
Lars said on 21/Dec/12
You are right shredder. 5'8 and 5'10 are garbage. Matt Damon is closer to 5'9. I'd say he's somewhere in the range 5'8.75 - 5'9.25.

176cm at most.
Mr. R said on 13/Dec/12
I saw Matt the other night in Hwood at a screening of his new movie Promised Land. I could not get close to him, but comparing him to others who did, he is about 5-9.

I don't know sometimes he looks tall, sometimes he doesn't. 176cm is a safe bet.

No surprise, dale. I caught Jon Stewart on TV standing next to the Today Show staff and he was barely shorter than Matt Lauer.
The Exorcist said on 4/Dec/12
Here he is looking 5 inches shorter than (the debatable) 6'2.5 Ben Affleck. Note that Damon has a significant shoe advantage in this picture, also.

I think he's 5'9"-5'9.5 range.

I agree with 2cm difference between jude and matt, but i don't agree with 180 and 178
If celebrity claims 175 that is max
I can't imagine male celebrity downgrading himself
In my opinion jude is 175 max damon 173 max

Damon has much shorter limbs than Law and is much stockier even without bulking up. I can see why some think he is shorter than he actually is. I bet his wingspan is as much as 2 inches shorter than Law's.
Sam said on 29/Nov/12
You could also have posted these with Jude Law where Damon and Law look pretty much the same height:

5'6 is not ridiculous at all, 5'10 is
leonari said on 28/Nov/12
It's exactly stories like this user "Departing" posts that ticks me off (and yeah sometimes I lose it-forgive me) . A pure average guy like Damon being described near 5'6"...I mean come on this BS has to stop at some point.
Departing said on 26/Nov/12
I somehow stumbled upon this site and it seems like the perfect place to get this off my chest. It's guys like Matt that give me the impression that the industry suffers from inflated stats! Having stood next to him while shuffling out of a theatre at the conclusion of a film at TIFF (Solitary Man - he wasn't in the film, but he was there to watch it), I, a mere 6'0" with shoes off, was struck by how short he was. My impression at the time was that he seemed no taller than my sister (5'6"), who shuffled by ahead of me. If he were to stretch that to 5'8", with shoes on, I might believe it, but 5'10" is a con. Like all anecdotal evidence, take it with a grain of salt, but I concur with the anonymous fan in the blurb: "Real short"
SAK said on 22/Nov/12
After watching Departed, he looks noticebly shorter then Baldwin(182cm) and DiCaprio(181cm). I think he is 176cm.
Kartal said on 22/Nov/12
This listing is a joke. No way this guy is over 175

real 5-10 guys don't battle 'short' rumors.
