Matt Damon wishes he was 5'10 like his buddys brad pitt and george clooney.

strange here how damon looks 6ft next too jude law
Click Here

he must have either borrowed a pair of robert downeys elevators or its a very very dodgy camera angle.

He looks strangely taller than you'd think at times. I mean he looked 5'11" next to Freeman and Eastwood at the premiere. ANy proof he is a lift wearer? I must admit from what I've seen his shoes look normal, unlike Pitt's which are usually sus.

Just watched him in "Forever After" with Jay Mohr (listed at 5-9 on this site). Jay was an 1"+ taller that Matt.
fuzzblaster said on 4/Aug/11
I think Damon is 5'9 1/2" REASON: Dicaprio is just slightly taller than him.

yeah I've revised my opinion about Matt. Scott at 5'5" and Matt at 5'8" makes sense. I used to think he was shorter probably because of 1st impression seeing him next to Big Ben haha
also his body proportions make him look smaller than he really is (big head, short arms, thick torso, waist and lower back) specially standing next to the more ectomorphic Brad and Clooney...
He was hilarious in his last appearance on Leno! what a great story teller :-)
jtm said on 1/Aug/11
he had 3 inches on scott caan.

That barefoot picture of him in a bathing suit in the informer movie...someone posted it here last month, I think. Wow. That did it for me. NO WAY does he look 5'10. I now think he's under 5'9.
adz said on 31/Jul/11
@Rich Hall if you truly think Damon is 5ft 6 theres no point changing your mind. Scott Caan is 5ft 5 and Damon has much more than a inch on him. And no Caan is not 5ft 2.
tell-em said on 29/Jul/11
jude law has claimed 5'9" before.
jtm said on 29/Jul/11
damon has never looked a strong 5'10 and does not look it next to leno.he actually looks 5'6 next to law if law is 5'9 but law is most likely on a higher ground or he is actually 2 inches taller than he claims.
Godred said on 29/Jul/11
@Reality - Your really not good at this. Pitt - 5`10, clooney 5`9,Damon 5`8,maybe 5`8.5.
Voiceless dental fricative said on 28/Jul/11
The shot with Jude Law is one of the few times he does look in the 5'8 range as most here seem to want him. Most of the time Damon looks at least 5'9, and can often pull off looking a strong 5'10. Earlier this year with Leno:

btw brad pitt is 5'11,clooney is 5'10.5.but i think damon is 5'9,no less.

The Jude Law photo is killer. Damon is 5' 8"....he's the shorter guy with the Pitt & Clooney crew heisting the casino.

@ are you crazy?that kind of logic doesn't work at all.my brother is 5'11 and if someone asks his height he says 5'11.i'm 5'10 before i go to sleep and i always call myself 5'10 because i'm not 6'0,5'11 or whatever else.don't say that silly thing anymore.

Hollywood my man. Films. And I'm personally 5'11 barefoot at night and Girls and Guys claim I'm 6'3 once I have my Jordans on and Hair. On screen a Barefoot 5'10 LOOKS 6' which is leading man material and why actors want to get to the "Magical" 6' height. (I Live in LA and know a lot of actors and have done some work myself). You're crazy if you think no one has EVER called you 6'. YOU may be honest about your height and your Brother (Just as I am) about height. But in Hollywood Actors and Models and NBA players NEED to exaggerate their height to seem "larger than life" or "The Perfect Size" for the sake of their careers.

Again, this is Hollywood we're talking about. On a resume for a film leading man, As close as you can get to 6'2 looks good. Don't be delusional for the sake of an argument. I think you understand where I'm coming with my logic. Everybody else; chime in too. FOR THE RECORD I think out of Bed IN BOOTS or Timberlands, Damon is a LEGIT 5'10 and change or 5'11. Barefoot at NIGHT, Strong 5'8
@ stoodnext2 said on 27/Jul/11
"if he was 5'10 barefoot at night he would EASILY Claim 6' to 6'1"

I have to agree, if he was 5'10 barefoot at night he would EASILY Claim 6' to 6'1. Strong 5'8 barefoot is my guess, maybe 5'9 out of bed

Very strong 5'8 guy but sorry i don't buy 5'10.

Jude Law is actually 5'9. He admitted it. I guess Damon really is a short guy.
Rich Hall said on 24/Jul/11
@Delta, yeah I agree on Damon's heels, they're pretty standard. It would be cool to know Emily's real height and just add an inch to get Matt's...
@Sam, is there a pic from the same event showing their shoes? Looking at their knee levels, there is a 2" difference which indicates they're the same height.
Next, looking at Sir Elton's arms, that guy is borderline "sushi" dwarfish.

Rich Hall, its all about camera angles some pics they are slouching sometimes there standing straight. When your with someone shorter than you and getting your photo taken do you stand up straight as possible? Just be realistic and stop taken one picture as 'prove'. If Matt Damon is 5ft 6 and you look at Ben's pics then how tall is De Niro 5ft 4/5??
Sam said on 22/Jul/11
For those who claim that Emily Blunt looking shorter than Elton John is proof of Matt Damon being 5'6", here's a more evenly posed picture of John and Blunt:

@RichHall Lol!!! Brad is wearing high heels for men. Okay you win Rich. Only problem, Angela Jolie is wearing heels in that picture. Lastly in the first picture it doesn't look like Damon is packing big heels, maybe lifts though if he were to stoop that low as those dress shoes look pretty standard.

Cruise would only need 2.25 inches to look 5'9 if he was 5'6.75. I think Cruise is 5'7. 5'6.75 is my low estimate. My absolute highest estimate is 5'7.5...

Sure with 2.25 inches at 5'6.75 would bring him to 5'9 but he would only pull off looking 5'8 ...

ciao!
Rich Hall said on 17/Jul/11
lol na worries dudes, it's all in good fun :-)
Here is my step by step reasoning regarding Matt's height:
Matt is 1 inch taller than Emily Blunt as proven here: Click Here
2 inches vertical height - 1 inch heel advantage = 1 inch
Next, Emily Blunt is max 2 inches taller than LISTED 5'2" Lily Allen:
Here's Lily next to Elton John: Click Here
and here's Emily next to Elton John (Lily and Emily appear exactly the same height but I added 2 inches to Emily by supposing that Elton is wearing mega-lift in his pic with Em vs no lift at all with Lil. Thus Emily is 5'2" + 2" = 5'4" max
and Matt = 5'4" + 1" = 5'5"
Even supposing Elton is both godzi-lifting and godzi-heeling in the Emily pic which would add him an astronomical 5.5 inches, it would still place Emily at 5'5" and Matt at 5'6"
Cheers :-)

Cruise would only need 2.25 inches to look 5'9 if he was 5'6.75. I think Cruise is 5'7. 5'6.75 is my low estimate. My absolute highest estimate is 5'7.5...
Vanessa said on 16/Jul/11
Matty is a legit 6 footer. In my view that should be the average height for men. Any shorter is a turn off.
Clay said on 16/Jul/11
Cruise has looked 5'9 in his lifts...meaning he has reached 5'10'' in those shoes.
Shaun said on 16/Jul/11
Mmm

Footwear advantage too. I agree he can look 5'8.5" here next to Affleck
Shaun said on 16/Jul/11
If you really look at the pictures with Affleck in flipflops, no "lifts" he is only between 4-5 inches shorter. I agree he has 5'8" stamped all over him for some reason but it isn't true. I could buy 5'9.5" lowest.
Shaun said on 16/Jul/11
satchy says on 15/Jul/11
5ft 10 is a really really bad joke. Its almost 5ft 11 and under no circumstances does he look close to that estimate

Eh actually he could pull off looking only about 2 inches shorter than Clint Eastwood and 3 inches shorter than Morgan Freeman. Eastwood is a weak 6'1" and Freeman 6'2".
the shredder said on 15/Jul/11
Its rare , He did look it with Dana Carvey ... I do agree Cruise looks 5'9 more then 5'10 , But We know barefoot is a joke , also you have to factor that whatever height he looks add 1" to that and that is what he would measure in shoes because other celebs have shoes on when standing next to him , So say Cruise is your estimate 5'6.75 then he would have to be adding over 3" of footwear to pull off looking 5'9 .
Legend said on 14/Jul/11
@shredder

I don't think Tom Cruise has looked quite 5'10. We will agree to disagree :)
the shredder said on 14/Jul/11
Lengend , I admit I was wrong ... I just took him as a troll ... He can think Matt is 5'4 I don't care , which IMO is insane ... Unlike some folks on here that jump at others over 1 " estimate and shout lifts or downgrade other celebs to fit the estimate . The Fact is we don't know how tall a celeb is down to the exact ... But what is fact is that Sly has looked easily his claim and wears monsters and what is also Fact is that Cruise has Looked 5'10 range before in pics , We know he is not that thought lol . Also What is a Fact is that there is not much between Cruise and Katie Barefoot .

when I look a photo of Blunt in small heels next to legit 5ft7 James McAvoy and legit 5ft9 Patrick Stewart and then again Blunt in TAB in flat flip flops next to Damon in normal shoes, really makes me wonder how tall is Blunt. Damon seems 5ft8.75 max. I still have him at 5ft8.5.
Ka said on 7/Jul/11
Rob, to me this guy looks in the range 5'9.5-5'10 most of the time, only a few times 5'9 or slight under, esp on Adjustment Bureau. I can't explain it, though a lot of pics w/ near 5'7 Blunt they on strides, but some scene w/ them up straight looks only 3 in taller, he's in shoes and she's in flat

What do you think about Damon's height appear in Adjustment Bureau Rob, please answer ?

5'8.18758596 said on 5/Jul/11
Rob, is it even possible for him to look 6'2 next to solid 5'6 Elle Fanning in sneakers??? I mean it's pretty clear he could have as much as a 4 inches advantage with his boots and lifts but he actually looked 7" taller than her at least, which is more of a 6 inches advantage for him, which sounds really crazy even for Sly. Hailee Steinfeld is 1cm taller than Elle, and Damon never looked that huge next to her in True Grit.
Editor Rob
can Damon look that height with Elle? I've never seen anything recently of them together so i don't know, but she is growing and claimed 5ft 6 months ago.
5\'8.18758596 said on 5/Jul/11
Matt could be a weak 5'9, I think that's fair assuming Emily Blunt is almost 5'7 and she could have big feet to add to the heel level, like Laura Prepon.

Glenn was 5' 6.5" with him. Custom to Portmam cancel out equals 5' 8.5" tops. Glenn's 5' 11" claim should be thrown in the garbage with Willis & Stallone figures which would make good one liners for Seinfeld hitting the deck at Caesars.

A pretty big difference between him and his friend Ben Affleck. Click Here
He's probably a weak 5'10", but he's definitely average height. He has a large (stocky build), so it can make him look shorter than he actually is

IMO Clooney is 5'10.5" as listed on this site, with horrific posture (wich he has A LOT) he gives 5'9"ish impression. Damon looks 5'9" to me.

RisingForce says on 29/Jun/09
...We know he didn't have lifts when he was in sandals next to Ben Affleck or in socks next to George Clooney.

The Damon/Affleck sandals pics are useless because they were obviously taken through a telephoto lens. Telephoto lenses compress distance, so that they don't give an accurate perspective for judging one object's size relative to another.

Clooney is only 5'9". He is substantially shorter than every legitimate 5'11"er that he's been photographed with (think David Beckham, Gordon Brown, etc.)

In reality Damon is around 5'8.5". Remember the Damon/Glenn photo? In boots Damon only had two inches on Glenn.
Leung said on 30/Jun/09
Yes Burby,
Damon and LeBlanc are both similar in height, but they are in the 177-178cm range.
RisingForce said on 29/Jun/09
Lifts are always the most convenient excuse, but a solid 5'10" for Damon still makes sense. We know he didn't have lifts when he was in sandals next to Ben Affleck or in socks next to George Clooney. Damon always looks like he's a solid 5'10", possibly 5'11" and his shoes never look like elevators. Could he wear small lifts from time to time? Of course, but it's pointless to assume he's in lifts when his sneakers look normal.

If Damon looked 5'8" in a ton of pictures then I'd agree, but he consistently looks like a solid 5'10". With Wahlberg you see the difference between a man who is a solid 5'10" and a man who is no more than 5'8" and claims 5'10".

Wahlbergs shoes are thinner than Damons, Rising.

The "effect" is working on ya.
RisingForce said on 28/Jun/09
How do you know that Damon wears lifts, burby? His shoes never look that big. At the basketball game he was in sneakers that looked thinner than Wahlberg's. Damon just seems like he's a solid 5'10" to me, whether it be next to Clooney in socks, next to Ben Affleck in sandals or Wahlberg at the basketball game in sneakers.
Rob G said on 28/Jun/09
Burby you are so right about this. Damon is 5'8" - 5'9" range just like LeBlanc, or say, Stallone.
burby said on 27/Jun/09
Rising, Damon wears customs, but I'm willing to go up to a 5ft 8.75 range for Damon, same height as Matt LeBlanc. LeBlanc screwed himself just like Cruise by claiming a ridiculous height. LeBlanc claimed 5ft 10.5, everyone with working eyes knew that was wrong and they thought he was 5ft 8 flat, he should have claimed 5ft 9, that would have been him rouding up a quarter inch, and he would get away with it 100% of the time. Cruise should have claimed 5ft 8. See the Jeremy Piven page for more - he claimed 5ft10, and he's not even a 5ft 7 dude.
RisingForce said on 26/Jun/09
burby, Mark is 5'7.5", that I agree with but Matt had more than 2 inches on him in full body shots and Mark's shoes looked thicker if anything. Matt defintley looked 5'10" next to Mark with no footwear advantage that I could see.
DejaVu said on 26/Jun/09
Well I think he is actually in the 5'9 range. I'd admit he looked really close in height with norton.
burby said on 26/Jun/09
DejaVu, I have a theory: Damon has jeans on, and he is literally lifting the back of his feet up inside the jeans, and using Clooney as a bracing agent. Undetectable almost. There are your magic inches. Wahlberg is still 5ft 7.5 Rising, no more. Damon 5ft 8.5 plus lifted feet is 5ft 10. Does that make sense, Brad and Frank?
Dominic said on 25/Jun/09
If Norton's height is accurate. Damon is definitely 5ft 10. There is a scene in Rounders where they look face to face and Norton is just shy of 2 inches taller.
DejaVu said on 25/Jun/09
Its weird. I am a big fan of Damon being under 5'10 but he did appear a strong 5'10 in many occasions. He looked 5'10 in socks and barefoot next to Pitt and Clooney if they're both the listed height here. If Damon is downgraded that means Pitt, Clooney, Casey Affleck and many others would be downgraded. It is hard to pin him down.
Barry Langcaster said on 24/Jun/09
Seen Matt in person once in NYC I was about 10 feet or so from him, I stopped for a moment because I figured it was him and it was, he was busy looking at his cell and I got a good look at his stature he truthfully did not look any more than 5'9 I can't see the 5'10 estimate, at most 5'9.25.
RisingForce said on 24/Jun/09
I can't buy 5'8" for Matt, that would make Mark Wahlberg no more than 5'6".

Brad said on 22/Jun/09
Correct Frank2, Rob is just making Glenn's 5' 8" claim a joke as well as Jenny putting him under 5' 7" with ease, you next to Sly and Glenn in that "young Glenn" (admits to 5' 7", reality: a flat 5' 6")photo would be 5" above Glenn. He wrecked this site. You shoulda seen him with Emile 5' 5" Hirsch. He had Emile by all of 1 freaking inch. Sean Penn had Emile by 3-4 inches.

Well glenn did make up the excuse that he thought that Matt Damon was 5'11. And its strange how Matt only looked slightly shorter than Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan.
Frank2 said on 21/Jun/09
Glenn's photos are quite telling. Just look how tall Rob is next to him. I see almost a three inch difference and Rob is a legit 5'8". Now imagine me in the shot where I'm three inches taller than Rob and at least five inches taller than Glenn. And I'm only 5'11".
peteyork said on 21/Jun/09
I think Glenn old photo gave a clue, he looked nearly three inches taller. So if glenn was 5'8 he would be in the 5'10 1/2 to 5'11 range. Same applies to sly, woody harelson and colin farell they are all 5'9 to 5'10 now we know glenn is 5'7. If they wear lifts walking down the street well perhaps shorter. I would put Matt Damon at 5'9 1/2 along with woody and colin. Sly 5'9. I am exactly 10cm taller than Glenn, so I use Rob's Alex picture to gauge where i would come up to on Glenn's photo interestingly it was Leo de caprio. So may be he just a flat 5'11.

Perhaps Whalberg refuses to wear lifts. I've seen Damon in person and no way is he 5'10".


I`d like to bother Rob here a bit. Frank here claims to have seen the fellow and says that he is a lot shorter than the listed height here. You dont think the guy is a liar, do you? I dont. I believe him. And I know it`s difficult to buy everything he says but.. he seems to know these things! What do you say? Obviously you are doubting some of his opinions and I completely understand that.

Damon usually looks 5-8 in films. LOL at 5-9-5-10
Rob G said on 20/Jun/09
If Cooney is 5'10.5" as listed here the photo with him and Damon in socks shows that Damon is about 5'9", just remove the cap and count Damon's better posture, I see 5'9" next to supposedly 5'10.5" George
Brad said on 20/Jun/09
You ever see those big tead LeBlanc things he wore in the Bournes? He wears customs. He just ate up Glenn like Jenny did. Same distance. 5' 8.5" in "effect".
James said on 19/Jun/09
Well you see the thing is Clooney could be the full 5'11. But Mr.R saw him at 5'9.5. If Clooney is the 5'10.5 he's listed as then Damon could very well be a weak 5'10.
Frank2 said on 19/Jun/09

TELLEM said on 19/Jun/09
the thing is, damon rarely appears 5'8, and mainly in the 5'9-5'10 range. Unless if hes a constant lift wearer like stallone? and yea that lakers game pic, damon looked a solid 2 inches taller than wahlberg.
leonari said on 19/Jun/09
Frank2: I am a big admirer of your height estimates and especially stories but you can't simply state Wahlberg is 5'8" and Damon is also 5'8". That doesn't make sense . Wahlberg is smaller in every pic of them together. Also in the Departed there is an obvious difference in height. There are pics of them together at a lakers game. Both in sneakers. Damon is over 2 inches taller.
Dural said on 19/Jun/09
Wahlberg 5'7.5" and Damon 5'8.5"

Frank2 said on 19/Jun/09
Wahlberg is about 5'8".
Midget said on 18/Jun/09
I agree with peteyork. Fairly accurate comments.
James said on 18/Jun/09
Well Mr.R sweared that George Clooney was only 5'9.5 when he met him. If George is that height then the 5'8 for Matt Damon makes more sense.
Anonymous said on 18/Jun/09
Frank2: If Damon is 5'8" how tall is Mark Wahlberg? He looked shorter than Damon in Departed
peteyork said on 18/Jun/09
Well in Frank's pictures he looks about 3 1/2 to 4 inches shorter. If it was 4'1/2 inches ben's eyeline would be at the top of Damon's head. So if ben is 6'2 1/2 you could argue Damon just about 5'11. However tall guys usually come down to meet you, in other words slouch, short guys come up to meet you, stand as straight as possible. So ben may well be able to see over damon's head if he stood as straight as possible. what you can say is ben is at least 4 inches taller. you need somebody Damon's height for a better reference. generally he is shorter than brad pitt and george clooney by about an inch who both claim 5'11. So no taller than 5'10 flat for me. In the bourne thing movie they had him as 5'9. i think he rounds up to 5'10 but not by much, also think brad rounds up to 5'11, again not by much.
James said on 18/Jun/09
If you go on the brad pitt page you can see that Matt Damon is close to George Clooneys height barefoot. No customs or lifts just socks.
Frank2 said on 18/Jun/09
"Frank2 you seen the Departed? Well Matt Damon did look similar in size to Mark Whalberg."

Yes, I've seen the film. Mark Whalberg is no more that 5'8".
RisingForce said on 18/Jun/09
Damon had 2.5", 3" on Mark Wahlberg at the NBA Finals and Wahlberg's shoes looked thicker.
Brad said on 18/Jun/09
Frank2 is corrrect. He wears customs.
Debbie said on 18/Jun/09
Wow!! Frank2 I always thought Matt Damon was around 5'9" maybe 5'10" but after seeing your pics especially the first and second to last picture it is SO obvious Matt is not 5'10". More like 5'9" no more.
James said on 17/Jun/09
In your second pic Frank2 he does look a 5'11er in the others yeah more 5'10 range.

Frank2 you seen the Departed? Well Matt Damon did look similar in size to Mark Whalberg.

Damon is about 5'8" which I've said all along. I also suggested that Glenn was 5'6" and took a lot of crap for it.
flash_of_eden said on 13/Jun/09
Hahaha, reading the info on Matt Damon's height up there, I have to say if I was 5'8" I would never refer to someone a few inches TALLER than me as being "rather short". Hell, I wouldn't do that no matter what my height was.
Jay said on 2/Jun/09
Thomas says : I will try to get the photo of my GF with Matt Damon 175cm if she lets me.
Paul said on 30/May/09
Yes, Blake, you are correct. Taking Glenn's height to be 5'6.75" makes Damon a weak 5'9". Factoring in footwear advantage I believe Damon's barefoot height is more 5'8.5" - 5'8.75".
Blake said on 28/May/09
PaulB, of course those calculations are based off a 5'7.25 Glenn which at that time most likely is just under 5'7...therefore making Him even without accounting footwear advantage about 5'9
Josh.J said on 28/May/09
i agree with you greg. average height of men in most countries are around 170~175 cms. however you have to remember its all relative. its about what you're used to and if your friends and family are giants at all 6ft+ then i guess 5'10 might seem rather short.
Midget said on 26/May/09
Ledger owned Damon in all shots together in Brothers Grimm. Ledger was in the range of 6'.05" to 6'1" easy. Look at him in A Knights Tale, he was taller than 6' Rufus Sewell by a solid inch.

Josh, stop being a comedian, you know full well that in real life Ledger had 3 inches over Damon.

yeah you're right RF, damon looks about 2&1/2 inches taller. the cap kind of makes it impossible to tell where the top of his head is though. i've always thought wahlberg was 5'7 but i can buy 5'7.5
RisingForce said on 24/May/09
look at matt damon and mark wahlberg at the 2008 nba finals. mark's shoes look thicker but matt still has 2-3 inches on him. i'd guess that wahlberg is about 5-7.5.

interesting... either heath was more like 5'11 ~ 6'0 or damon is wearing some lifts.
Antonio said on 22/May/09
They look similar in some shots. There are others with Damon having a 2" advantage. Hutton is listed at 6' here. Matt does look 5-10 in the pic with Tim ... if in fact Hutton is 6'. I think DiNero is 5-8, judging by other photos with some that I am sure of. Also, take a look at the photo with the footwear showing. Robert has a flat loafer,topsider type of shoe on, while Damon is wearing a classical dress shoe. I am not use to recognizing lifts, but it does look like a steeper slope in the lace area or bridge (I guess) area of Matt's shoes.

First - A Damon / Gibson Pic - They look to be very similar in height. Of course one or both are most likely heightening. Gibson Height on this site is 5'9.5"!

Second - Damon with Jack, Mark & Leo. Damom & Jack have similar posture and look to be the same distance from camera. Leo is slouching a bit and Wahlburg looks s-m-all! Jack is 5-8 on this site, Leo 5'11.5", and Mark, 5-8. In analyzing this photo, I'm betting that both Matt & Jack are heightening here.

Lifts are probably Damon's new best friend. Still cant see him over 175cm barefoot. Never does he look tall to me which at least Clooney and Pitt can still pull off.

His similar shoes are customs. He owned an under 5' 7" Glenn clean by 3" in them.

Matt Damon looks at least 5'11 barefoot. He always looks taller than 5'10 people in similar shoes and barely shorter if at all than 6' people.

Correct anonymous & Jay. Caan I saw at Caesars Palace not long ago. He's not 5' 9".

5-10 for Damon is crazy. Hes always looked shortish at 5-8 in every movie.

Caan is not that short. 5'9" for Caan and 5'10" Damon.
Jay said on 19/May/09
Hi Thomas and Jay here. Damon is just under 5'9 in flipflops as seen by my girlfriend. As for weight, he is 155 at most. I'm 5'9.5 most of the day and at 170 lean am very obviously bigger than Damon on every bodypart so please get the idea out of your heads that he is built. Muscles look bigger in movies or under thick clothes. Bruce Lee was 130 in his last movie. Van Damme 165 in Bloodsport. Daniel Craig 155 in his famous beach scene that critics said was very muscular. Stallone 168 in Rocky 3 playing a heavyweight!
Brad said on 19/May/09
Caan is 5' 8", you can see why 5' 10" for Matt is not correct.
Antonio said on 18/May/09
Now that I believe I am correct in placing James Caan at 5.8.5, I can look at this photo and estimate Damon at 5.9 to 5-9.5 He only appears an 1.0" taller than Jimmy. If Caan stands straight-up, maybe only .5".

I've seen Matt Damon in a lot of movies and he looks 6 foot. Take rounders for example, he's an inch shorter than John Turturo and Edward Norton in that who are both 6'1. 5'10 is an average height for a guy and his height seems above average.
TELLEM said on 14/May/09
honestly antonio, i'd think there would be 1.5 inches if clooney stood straight. there looks to be a 1/2 inch between the two. 5'9 for damon and 5'10.5 for clooney in my opinion.
Antonio said on 14/May/09
Here's a photo of Damon with Clooney. I don't know if this ones been on the site yet.

Anyway, Clooney is hunching as usual, and Matt appears upright with good posture. Clooney still has him by an inch. If Clooney stand straight, the difference would be 2". I don't believe one has a shoe advantage over the other, but I believe if one did, it would be Damon.

On this site, Clooney is listed at 5-10.5 and Damon 5-10. I believe that Clooney's height is close to being correct. However, up to even with this photo, Clooney has a 1" advantage, and if he stands straight ... 2".

This would mean Damon would be 5-9.5 if you believe George is not slouching, and 5-8.5 if you, like me, believe he is.

Good info PaulB. I think you're right.
PaulB said on 13/May/09
Damon is somewhere around 5'9"; probably just a little under.

Using comparably scaled photos, and the known height difference between Rob and Glenn, it's easy to calculate the difference in height between Glenn and Matt Damon -- just over two inches: Click Here

If Glenn is 5'7.25" in the Damon photo, then Damon is just over 5'9.25". Subtract a quarter to a half an inch from Damon's height to account for his footwear advantage in the photo and he ends up somewhere around 5'8.75" or 5'9".
Antonio said on 12/May/09
Matt with DeNiro. The eyes are even, but why does Damon appear a little taller.

Click Here
Flyboy said on 12/May/09
I suspect Damon is 5'9". I say that for two main reasons: because it tallies with Glenn's picture (if Glenn is 5'7" as some on his page claim), and because he can never beat Brad Pitt or George Clooney. A third, simplistic reaosn would be that he is incapable of looking big in any of his movies (compared to, say, Clooney in The Peacemaker/From Dusk Till Dawn and Pitt in Troy/Fight Club).

As for his weight, I'm inclined to agree with Thomas. Like Big T, I am also 5'10 1/2", but unlike Big T I was definitely considered to be a 'big' (read: overweight) guy at 200 lbs. My lean weight was between 160 - 168. I think I read that Daniel Craig was around 175 for Casino Royale, which makes sense based on personal experience. At 190 lbs, Damon would be 13 1/2 stone, which I think is just too heavy for a guy of his size and stature unless he's a bodybuilder...which he isn't. 175 for the Bourne flicks sounds about right, compared to probably around 160 lbs for The Talented Mr Ripley.
Big T said on 5/May/09
Thomas, I was 200lbs at 5'10 1/2" and no-one thought I was a big guy at all. 190 for a 5'10" guy is nothing amazing.
Anonymous said on 24/Apr/09
I agree with Thomas, 190 lbs is laughable.
DejaVu said on 23/Apr/09
I'd say Matt Damon is around 176 give or take a cm. If you tell by comparing Glenn's height to Jenny and Rob then to Damon.

Matt seems 177 ish. I doubt he cries himself to sleep over that 178 though.

LOL 190lbs!!!!!! I can bet anyone Matt Damon isn't over 160 pounds in the Bourne movies. 190lbs at 5ft 9 is bigger than most bodybuilders were in the early 80s. Damon has anything even close to a Frank Zane body? Be serious.
Lmeister said on 21/Apr/09

Look at Matt in movies like Dead Poets Society prior to him being an action star. He looks around 175cm and wears normal looking sneaker/shoes. Now days though his dress/formal/movie footwear certainly looks suspect.Action hero syndrome I believe. Just like Stallone,Statham,Snipes,VanDamme etc. All no more than 5'9" barefoot but pretending to be more.Im not knocking lifts btw as I have just started wearing them myself and they take me from 166cm/167cm in the morning to a shade over 174cm. no complaints from me. lol.
Thomas said on 15/Apr/09
You see that Matt Damon is the same height as Rob's GF Jenny.

My GF is a genuine 5'8 has a photo of her with Damon. He is 175cm, about little less than 5'9. Some people here say he has a big build. Not true that. Actors/muscles look big on a screen. He has wide clavicles and hips that make him look built. Damon's biceps are something like 14-15 inches, no more.

Damon is a strong 5'9 in the pic. He could not be 5'10 if glenn was measured under 5'7 would he? He would be 5'10 if Glenn was 5'8 but that is not true.

looks 176 cm on that pic but i think he is more like 175
RisingForce said on 11/Apr/09
Glenn is in no way a weak 5'7". He measured 5'7 1/8" in the evening. He wakes up at close to 5'8" so he's atleast a strong 5'7" if you don't count morning height.

Matt Damon was wearing work boots in the picture above. I believe Matt wakes at 5-10.

I agree Dural. I see atleast an inch between Clooney and Damon and Pitt is clearly getting a camera advantage.

Glenn, I don't know how to post pics, but in the meantime you can google images ... "Leonard Bush". There are a couple of photos with him and President Bush. Neither of these guys are lift user's. Nearly everyone agrees, Bush is a legit 5-11. He has a 2.5" to 3" on Ray. Like I said, when I met him we were exactly eye to eye. What I should have mentioned in my last post was that I saw him at 5-8 to 5-8.5. I was somewhere in that range at the time.
glenn said on 21/Mar/09

Burt Reynolds did admit to being under 6 feet in 1972, but I've also heard him claim just over 6 ft or 6 ft even. I can't buy anything under 5'11" peak for Burt though. He looked 6'2" at times with those boots!

Mel Gibson seems atleast 5'9"-5'10" to me. Possibly the worst claim is Jeremy Piven's 5'10" claim when Piven seems in the 5'7"-5'8" range at best.
glenn said on 20/Mar/09
sugar ray is 5-9 minumum.possibly more in his prime.5-8 is way too low.unless he shrunk alot.
Antonio said on 20/Mar/09
I don't know RisingForce, I think a few of these guys give themselves 2". Burt Reynolds, always claimed 6'or almost 6'. My cousin knew him for many years, and always said, "he's 6' alright ... with his big boots on!" My cousin said he was probably 5-10 or less. The 1950s sensation "Fabian", claims 6' on his bio, and after spending a couple of hours with him, mostly standing, I would give him 5-10. I also met Sugar Ray Leonard. He has always been listed at 5-10, but we looked eye to eye. He was about to 5-8. Mel Gibson, is probably close to 5-8, but claims 5-10. I could name more. --- You are probably correct, however, 'most' add 1-1.5".

Damon, just doesn't look 5-10. His proportions, just don't add up. By what I see, especially with his pics alongside Clooney and Pitt, I would give him 5-9.
dani said on 13/Mar/09
I went to Holland and visited Amsterdam, Utrecht and Flevoland a year ago with my family. Dickey Curtis, Im not trying to underestimate how tall dutch people. I know dutch people are tall but to be honest with ya i saw more 6"3 in Sweeden. There are really tall people in Sweeden.
dicky curtis said on 13/Mar/09
Maybe you've visited in a time with many foreign tourists and those weren't dutch people at all:) I live here and off course there are many 5.10 guys and lower. its just chance for wich tall or short people you meet. but in my office where i work am the second shortest out of 11 people. me being 5.11
I have visited a concert where my 6ft2,5 friend was consistently towered by other visitors. and y was real short there especially.
and many dutch people are not even aware of being the tallest. But maybe if we check every citizin's of every country his height than maybe there is an other outcome who knows....
dani said on 12/Mar/09
Listen Dicky Curtis. Im 5'11 and i traveled to the Netherlands and i saw MANY people between 5"10 and 6'1 so the male average in the Netherlands is 180.60cm, it makes sense. I saw it. The study was made my doctor Colomos of the University of Munich. i saw more 6"3+ in Sweeden than in the Netherlands. Dutch people brag about their height and i was in the Netherlands and i saw many people in that range(178-185).People lie about their heights and happens in American, Netherlands and in the rest of the world. Many people get measured with their shoes on, etc.
dicky curtis said on 8/Mar/09
In our passport from the netherlands, the height that is said in that document is sometimes based on people standing against a wall with some kind of tape measure and the clerk reads of the height. yet people do not take their shoes of so its not an accurate measurement. So i agree that this happens.
the average of the american male was also somewhere between 5.9 and 5.10 indeed. I'v read something like 5.9-5. there was a time when the americans had the tallest people on the planet.

But in the netherlands there are also a lot of immigrants from different countries that lower the average. this probably explains why the people in the north are about nearly half inch taller than the rest off the country. because there are less immigrants in that region. If we would take the average of the authentic dutch civilians i think the average would be like 6ft. maybe slightly under. but more than 180.6. although i know that every country has it share of immigrants
RisingForce said on 8/Mar/09
What's funny Complex is I also have a 5'10.75" friend who claims 6'1". It was funny because one morning we were playing basketball and he was messing with me about my height(I'm 5'7.75", 5'8") and I told him he didn't exactly tower over me. He replied that he was 6'1" and I told him there was no way so he said "fine measure me". When I did he measured 5'10.75" and no taller, and this was at maybe 8 in the morning at the latest.

I think that celebrities usually don't exaggerate quite that much except for Mark "I'm only 5-10" Wahlberg and a few others. Most give themselves about an inch, maybe an inch and a half at the most. The guys who give themselves 2 inches often end up looking ridiculous with their claims like Wahlberg, Seacrest ect.
dani said on 8/Mar/09
Complex, we have to take into account the fact that MANY people lie about their heights in phone surveys or when they are asked in the streets. It's not only celebrities who lie, regular people lie coz they wanna be taller. It happens not only in America but also in The netherlands. It's worlwide phenom.
Complex said on 8/Mar/09
5'9 seems to be a very common height, i've said it before but I think true average (that being the average of ppl who's heights were measured) would be 5'8-5'11 (5'8 lower end) (5'11 taller end) 5'9-5'10 (dead on average). Alot of ppl inflate their on heights which throws averages off, I have a 5'10.75 friend that claims 6'1, so just him alone would throw the average off, I know many more like this. Plus if averages is based on doctor visits, some docs measure with shoes on,last time I went I was in timbalands and asked if I should take my shoes off and she said no.

The other day I saw a sex offender list from louisiana that had height listings for each offender, the majority of ppl were 5'7 or 5'9, most out of all of them were in the 5' range, being as low as 5'2-5'11, there was prolly less than 10-15 % above 6'0. But most were listed at 5'9, I think 5'9-5'10 would be the actual true average for white american males in the united states. I don't know about canada buddy, cuz i'm not from there..

As long as ppl inflate their own heights, the averages will be off balance.

"Whatever Leonari. People have different perceptions. 5'8 is short to me. Not really short, but its below average to say the least. Complex, I dont know where you're from but 5'9 is below average in Canada and Europe. Im sure in some parts of the USA its average."

Canada's average is 5'8.5"!!!Official data (2005)

5'9" isn't below average in Canada"

The average in many mediterranean countries in Europe like Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Malta etc is between 5'8-5'9 as well as in the USA and England and Canada eventhough canadians claim 5'10. The scandinavian countries and the check republic and germany and Australia are the ones that have higher averages between 5'10-5'11.The worldwide average is like 5'675 so being 5'10+ makes tall worlwide.
The Netherlands have the tallest average for men and women being 5'11(180.60cm) and 5'6(1.67cm) as today. The average for young people in the netherlands is 6'0(184cm). For example the average for mexican men is 5'6(167cm).

Im sure every single man in Canada aged 18-45 has been measured to accuratly give the average.....
dicky curtis said on 3/Mar/09
A lot of those average heights are based on the average of males and females.
In holland the average is a shade under 5.9. But i can tell you, the average male is taller than that! woman indeed are under it. they are about 5.7 on average.
dani said on 2/Mar/09
I'd say Matt is as tall as Im(181cm-180.50cm). He looks kinda tall sometimes. He's either a 5'11(181cm) or a 5'1075(179.50cm) and 179.00cm at night.
RisingForce said on 2/Mar/09
The difference is that there's been a lot more evidence to suggest that Cruise wears elevator shoes or lifts. For all we know Damon doesn't wear lifts and is just 5'10".

themaster said on 28/Feb/09
Regardless what size Damon is, he looks normal height in movies. Even Tom Cruise looks normal height in many movies, so these guys can't be shorter than 5'7" or taller than 5'11". At these heights Tom in lifts looks average height, while DAmon in lifts can pull off looking on the taller side.

The guy seems quite a bit bigger than I would've thought.

He looked pretty buff in the Departed Glenn, lol.
Complex said on 27/Feb/09
He does have a bigger frame in this pic, normally he looks small tho...maybe it's the coat...
RisingForce said on 27/Feb/09
Damon is stockier than a lot of people realize. He probably weighs 180-185 pounds. There's no doubt he's a strong guy. He's taller than a lot of people think too. I've read numerous articles saying things like "Matt Damon in person isn't short like everyone says, he's 5-10".
glenn said on 27/Feb/09
is it me or damon has a bigger frame than you would imagine and can possibly kick my ass?
Vibram said on 27/Feb/09
glenn, how long had you been awake when you got Damon in the pic above?
Complex said on 26/Feb/09
He's a strong 5'8, 5'9 is possible, 5'10 in lifts..
Clay said on 26/Feb/09
Remove the cap and he's standing 5'9.5 there.
RisingForce said on 26/Feb/09
Thanks Rob and good idea noting his footwear advantage.
RisingForce said on 26/Feb/09
He looked 5'10.5"-5'11" in Glenn's picture with him, but Damon was closer to the camera and I believe Glenn said he was wearing work boots.

the photo is back up now.

Mexico has a massive indigenous population. Far larger than 30%. They have a weird conception of race. If an Indian adopts Christianity and dresses in Western clothes, he'll stop identifying as "Indian" and list himself erroneously as "mestizo" on census forms--as if his race has magically changed. So Mexico's Aztec rate is ridiculously under-reported. (Interestingly, the Mexican drug cartels use the Aztec language of Nahuatl as code, and are proud of their Native American roots.) So it's silly to refer to them as "Latinos," when very few of them have actual Latin blood. It'd be like being in an Indian reservation in the United States and calling the Indians "Anglo-Saxons" because they spoke English and had adopted English surnames.) A Hopi Indian in Arizona is no more an "Anglo" than a Mexican is a "Latino" (although the Hopi and Mexican share the same dna).
Complex said on 25/Feb/09
5'9 at the most, I think if he were measured in the evening he'd be more like 5'8.5 or something, I even thought garcia was a bit taller than him, prolly before damon found out about lifts.
Comets said on 25/Feb/09
Nah, he is definitely NOT 5'10..at best 5'9, but I'll give him 5'825
Clay said on 24/Feb/09
Average for young caucasians 18-40 where I live is for sure about 5'10-5'10.5 as you will come across plenty 6'2-6'3.
TELLEM said on 24/Feb/09
i saw that movie too. he looked closer to 5'8 next to him in a fullbody shot scene after the bar scene w/ affleck when affleck stretched out to hug some girl. the top of damon's head reached the tip of affleck's nose. (thats counting his hair) but damon did look 5'9 next to 5'7 robin williams. i'm beginning to think damon is more 5'9 then 5'8. not 5'10 though.
Ed(1) said on 24/Feb/09
I caught a few minutes of Goodwill Hunting on tv last night, and honestly Damon looked to be about 4-5" shorter then Affleck(6ft2.5). Granted this was while wearing boots which he wore throughout the film, but overall he really didn't look to be anything less then a solid 5ft10+. I'd say he's somewhere in the 5ft9 range barefoot, but anything less I don't think so. with a bit of a lift in his shoes for premieres, he probably hits the 5ft11 mark.
TELLEM said on 23/Feb/09
damon did look the same height as 5'9 andy garcia in "ocean's eleven" 5'9 is the most i'll buy for damon, but not 5'10 thats too out there.
RisingForce said on 23/Feb/09
I'd say 5'6" is the average for hispanic men. I'm a weak 5'8" and I'm taller than most of them by a couple of inches, and I see a lot in my line of work(carpentry). It wouldn't surprise me if the average was even a bit under 5'6", although I could be wrong. Average for white men is probably in the 5'10"-5'11" range.
Complex said on 22/Feb/09
damon prolly had lifts on inthe premiere shots, i'm with towel on this one, although i'd say 5'8 range and possible 5'9 tops. Baldwin & Leo both had Damon by alot in the departed and Damon was max 1.5 inches over wahlberg who alot believe a flat 5'7...
FC said on 22/Feb/09
Several people have told me I could be his look a like in films and I am only 5'8". No way he is much taller than that,though he may use lifts/rising since they are pretty sophisticated an undetectable. Funny I remember reading that Michael J. Fox was always running in his films to make him appear taller and I see Matt doing the same. LOL.

Damon wasn't much shorter than DiCaprio in dress shoes because Leo is 5'11.5" and Damon is 5'10"."

And Damon is a proven lift-wearer. Check out his premiere photos with Heath Ledger.

Theres no way hes 5'10..In the Departed hes at least 3 inches shorter than Leo..Hes listed at 5'11..So that makes Damon 5'8. He does use good posture to make himself appear taller though

yet he looks 1 inch shorter than leo in the premiere photos, strange and both men are in dress shoes Click Here

I agree clay, race is a factor in average heights, i'm judging more of a white u.s. male average..
theman said on 20/Feb/09
The US national male average height is still in the 5' 9" range. Yes there are many taller than that but many shorter as well. Keep in mind nationally doesn't mean in your state or in your town. For men to look average you need to fall in the range of 5'7" to 5'11". Any shorter and you look short, any taller and you look tall. It's all relative to the company you are in of course but in this range men can all look average in pictures and movies.
The Horse of FUNK said on 20/Feb/09
Would someone please explain to me why Damon is suddenly at 6'1" on intarweb movie-database? I mean I could understand a confused or misinformed person saying he's 5'11", but 6'1"? C'mon... Who's editting these profiles on that website?
Clay said on 20/Feb/09
Complex - that looks about right to me, but I can say with 100% truth that ethnicity and race comes into play. Southern Asian males are generally shorter than Caucasians and Blacks, thats just how it is so it balances out.
RisingForce said on 20/Feb/09
5'8" isn't quite short. It's the low end of average. I'm almost 5'8" and I usually wear cowboy boots with 2 inch heels and with them I feel dead on average height and sometimes fairly tall believe it or not.
Complex said on 19/Feb/09
I'm from the us, I really think the true average of the us if everyone were properly measured would be 5'8-5'11, 5'8 (very low end of average) 5'11 (very tall end of average) 5'9-5'10 (dead on average) That's how I see it.
Clay said on 18/Feb/09
Whatever Leonari. People have different perceptions. 5'8 is short to me. Not really short, but its below average to say the least. Complex, I dont know where you're from but 5'9 is below average in Canada and Europe. Im sure in some parts of the USA its average.
