Mel Gibson's ABSOLUTE PEAK height (perhaps in his earlier days) I'd say would be: Morning - 5ft9, Afternoon - 5ft8.75, Evening - 5ft8.5, Before Bed - 5ft8.25. On other, not so good days, (still keeping to when he was younger) it's likely he would have been around quarter of an inch shorter, making him 5ft8.75 out of bed and 5ft8 before bed. He may have lost a tiny bit of his peak height through age but not much. Now, on a GOOD day, I'd say he's a little under 5ft9 out of bed and a little over 5ft8 before bed. Again, at his age now, on a NOT SO GOOD day, he maybe 5ft8.5 in the morning and a little under 5ft8 before bed. I don't think he's as short as some people say he is. I think one of the reasons some are surprised by his height when they see him is because they have an image of him being 6ft+ which sometimes seems to be the expected height of the 'strong' action-type movie stars.

True Story!
Few years ago there was a long interview in an Israeli news paper with the current defence minister and previous priminister Ehud Barak, in this article he was asked among other things if he watches movies etc and said he barely has time for it, and rarely gets a chance to watch a movie, as an example he mentioned that in a shop in the usa (if i remember well he said it was in new york) he met the very popular at that time Mel Gibson and he didn't recognize him!! His body guards told him who it was and introduced between them, he said that Mel was really kind and the only thing that surprised him was how short Mel was (much shorter than him), Mr. Barak by the was is about 5"9=175cm barefoot.

Pitt was 40 in 'Troy'. try weightlifting when you're 40 w/o juice. you'll see your 15 pounds in 6 months. you've trained for 4 years to have 10kg more muscle mass than it's usual for a 5ft9er. usual 5t9er weight is 70kg. that's exactly what I said, 2.5kg of lean muscle mass per year Clay. and you're suggesting that Pitt at the age of 40 gained 15pounds (of what mucle/fat ratio) in 6 months? he achieved in 6 months what has taken you 2-3 years to do it. right.

No he isn't today. But in 1997 at the age of 55 he still was. When Pitt comes to his house in that movie 'The Devil's Own', Pitt is as tall if not a cm taller. The rest of the movie...Pitt looks a cm or 2 shorter. And Ford in Star Wars is as legit 6ft1 flatas it can ever get.
@Clay says on 10/Jan/11
Clay, have you ever trained for muscle mass? Do you know anything about gaining muscle? Do you know how much does a man's testosterone level decrease after the age of 30? U still have it enough, but not enough to look like Pitt looked in 'Troy' even after 6 months. If you're 20-28/9 years old u can get about 2.5kg lean muscle mass per year. Up to 5kg if you're Arnie or such guys, but Pitt clearly isn't one of those easy-gainers. 6 moths would give him 1.25 kg o lean muscle mass on his entire body, not to mention the fat which goes as well...However on juice you can get 5kg of lean muscle mass in 6 moths. If he got that much and say 1-2kg fat that's 70-80% more muscular look.
For Craig I'm not sure, but in the new 'Cowboys and Aliens' trailer he looks very skinny. Either he went so skinny on purpose or he's naturally that skinny, like Clooney, and just took juice for 'Casino Royale'.

Actually I never noticed how short were Gibson and Damon, what I noticed was the inconsistency of Clooney and Pitt's listed height: 6', Brad always looks 1.5" taller, and Clooney looks like a 5'11-5'10.5 guy, Pitt probably around there, maybe even shorter without his customs. I'd say Damon is a strong 5'9, there's a picture of him and Clooney on sandals, and the height difference was minimum. Gibson does indeed look short on Mad Max, but maybe that's because most australian actors are taller than average, anyways, based on his earlier films he looks around 5'9. A 5'8 could be possible, altough he's great in hiding that.

The guy is probably very similar in height to Gibson, 176-7 works as morning height. I don't know about his shoework in Bourne, it doesn't matter really, we know he wears lifts. He had to have them in 'Dogma' next to Affleck, even in 'Rounders' with Norton. Actually, 'Rounders' is a good movie to observe both Norton's and Damon's height. I've seen it on tv the other day. Famke Jansen is in that movie and Norton standing beside her. She is over 180cm I'd bet(and listed as such here) but very good proportions. Watch 'The Talented Mr. Ripley', he's barefoot in more than enough scenes and tall enough for a legit 5ft9. More than that is questionable. Those guys are on the shorter side of average.
I believe he's your height exactly and an inch taller than me. I'm 172.6 after 20 hours awake and 173.5 mid-day.

but Brad insists that one inch IS a BIG difference. I agree with him on that, there is a big difference between 5ft8 and 5ft9. At 5ft7, 5ft7.5, 5ft7.75, 5ft8 and 5ft8.5 ure in the 'grey zone' between short and average. Nobody sees you as short(except 5ft7 flat), but people don't concider you average either. 175cm is the first height where you're concidered average. Everything under that is seen as under average/short. No way Gibson or Damon are 177 or 178 because then they'd always be higher than Kurt Russel in Gibson's case, and Gwyneth Paltrow in Damon's case. Brad insists on 'the box' in Year of Living Dangerously, he isn't serious really. I've seen the movie last week. 180cm Sigourney Weaver is barefoot or in balerina shoes most of the time, Gibson is in lifts and voila, they look the same height. In the 'by the pool scene' when they meet, Gibson even seems slightly taller, but probably the camera angle. Brad places 'Tequila Sunrise' as corpus delicti, although Gibson has the flattest sneakers possible, it's clearly visible. Russell is suited and wears normal shoes. His 175+2-3cm shoe make him look 5t10. Gibson is in flats and he's 2-3 cm taller = 5ft9 flat.
About Damon...no way could he look as tall he looked in 'Dogma' or 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' if he was 5ft8...Furtheron next to Franka Potente in 'The Bourne Identity'...dude I haven't seen Damon or Gibson ever, but I have seen Franka Potente, and she's 5ft9, and a strong one. So...do the math.

He doesn't look 5ft10 as he is listed here. Jude Law looks 5ft10-5ft11, but Damon does indeed look 5ft9 flat.

You don't have me convinced in Damon's/Gibson's 5ft8. I still think that both Damon and Gibson are 5ft9(a weak 5ft9 is possible) guys who wear lifts and achieve a strong 5ft11 impression.

He had a funny story about Mel, way back in the 1980s, when Mel was a rising star in Hollywood, he met him at a dinner party at his sister's house (she knew big people in Hollywood) and for some reason he was being cold towards Barry. He then asked him how tall he was. "Just over 6 foot" replied Barry "No, you're not." said Mel, who was several inches shorter (about 5'9" or 5'10" Barry said) So they stood back to back and got someone else there (some Hollywood producer) to compare them. Barry could feel Mel raising himself by standing on tiptoes and the other guy very diplomatically said they were the same height. Finally Mel was satisfied.

Mel at 2.5" over a heeled total height Russo at 5' 11'? He'd never be called short, ever. Mel owned a young G (5' 6") in NYC airport paparazzi customs coming in at 5' 11". Mel is like Damon, struggling with customs to be like Pitt/Clooney/Redford etc..

At 5' 10" with 3" customs he'd be 6' 1" in films, he never is, he's like Matt Damon, always short even with 5' 10" guys.
What are you talking about? He had a clear height advantage over Renee Russo and she was in heels! Let's say Mel was 5'8" and had on 3 inch customs(even though his footwear looked normal). That puts Mel at 5'11". Now Russo is 5'8" and had on normal heels which gave her at least 3 inches. That would make them the same height....but Mel is always clearly taller by 2-3 inches.
That makes for a 5'10" minimum Gibson.
And that's just one small example...he almost always looks at least average height- oh wait, that's because he IS!
A 5'8" Mel Gibson would make a lot of people really short.

5'9.5" seems like it may be somewhat accurate. I've stood close to him a few times, and he was a few inches shorter than me, and I am around 6'1" Granted I never looked at his shoes so who knows if he was wearing lifts or something. This was back in 1995.

Ye I've also read he's been in bar fights fighting guys twice his size, and came on Mad Max audition after one such fight. 5ft9 or 5ft8, who cares, we all know he is among shorter men. Gibson is a maniac, but you've gotta luv that guy. I h8 when they cut his scenes of violence on my national TV. He's just great what that 'lil tomahawk in Patriot, making a f...ng mess out of those redcoats(although the movie is historically incorect, same as Braveheart) and he has real life Sly for breakfast any day that's true. And ye, he owns Malibu. lol

Holy baloney! Look what I found: Click Here
In the beginning Mel stands next to Letterman and looks a healthy 5-11 or so. Then later in the interview Mel takes his weird boots of and all of a sudden looks almost a head shorter than Letterman! Pause at 4:33. Unfortunately the two gents do not stand straight side by side at any time in their socks only but even with the bad camera angles it is OBVIOUS how Mel is wearing lifts on this occasion. He looks VERY short in those socks.
Maybe the only footage ever shot on nationwide television of a MAJOR lift monger in his friggin socks only!
Imagine the same thing happening with Sly. There would be stilts sticking out of his shoes if he took them off. STILTS!
BTW Mel INVENTED the word testosterone. In "Edge of darkness" he looks like he could John Rambo for breakfeast. Also he has been in many crazy bar fights in real life when he was younger. He is a maniac. I sure as hell wouldn´t wan´t to fight him.

One thing because of which I hardly can buy him at 5'9 is his movement. He has an an unusually naturally agile movement for a guy that's supposed to be 5ft9+.
I've seen such movement frequency at guys that are barely 5'6.
Mely Mel is probably strong 5'7 on a good day, and not much if any over that at peak.

Mel didn't look short in Lethal Weapon if Glover was 6'3.5". In the full body shots, I guess I could see as much as 5 inches between them with Mel in cowboy boots with 2 inch heels, but he still looked in the 5'10"-5'11" range in those movies.

the Braveheart star's size has caused some problems on set in the past. When Mel was filming The Year Of Living Dangerously with 5ft 11in Sigourney Weaver, he had to wear built-up shoes and even stand on a box for some scenes to be eye level with his co-star."

Isn't it Weaver's height that is causing the problem here, rather than Gibson's?!!!

so how tall is Gibson in his customs? lets say we don't have a clue about his real height(well we don't...lol). but let's say so. and I'm asking u guys how tall is he when he's lifted, customized, elevated, etc.? what height does he hit?
my guess is that he hits 1,81m in 2.5 inch lifts and that's he's 1,75m barefoot.

I don't think Cruise is below 5ft7. it's just the media and what they did to him after he claimed 5ft9. it's impossible to hide 2 inches of height, but an inch or an inch and a half, it could be pulled of. so if Gibson and say... Sam Worthington claim 5ft10 it's not absurd and they can hide it. to hide more than that - I can't see how it could possibly be done. lifts that could give someone 3 inches? maybe cowboy boots with 'packed wedge' inside hehehe, but then it's already obvious. lifts give those guys in Hollywood around 5-6cm. Gibson never looks 6ft, the tallest he ever looks is 181cm, so Rob, I think you should downgrade him to 5t9 flat, and Cruise could even be 5ft7.75, that's ok.

I know it is not that height related - but did ever someone notice that Mel has massive forearms? He does look like a strong guy.

I've seen Gibson and without the aid of lifts. I'm telling you, he's no more than 5'8". Add lifts and he's 5'11".
Then how do you explain "at least 5-foot-10 in flat sandals"??????

We can't assume that Antonio because Mel could have a 2 inch cowboy heel/1 inch lift combo which would put his footwear about even with Sly's if Sly was in elevators. In the early 90's Mel almost always wore cowoboy boots, if he had something in them is something nobody knows.
I'm personally not convinced that Mel wears lifts outside of movies, but you never know.

Antonio, sly looking up, mel's got him by 2cm, further away from the camera. Also you can not run properly as he did in lethal weopean movies in lifts. I would bet more money he is 5'10 than sly or matt damon. Think Rob's spot on, on mel.

Glenn was correct in that Gibson is very hard to pin down and is all over the place in height. He must have wild custom boots & shoes. He's worth near a billion so he can get the best stealth there is.

After watching The Year of Living Dangerously(1982) last night, I'm really thinking Gibson is more like 5ft8-5ft8.5 tops. Sigourney Weaver(5ft11) while wearing flat soled sandals was still taller then him by a good inch, and Gibson wore cowboy boots with what looked like 2" heels throughout the whole movie.
I'd say he might be in the 5ft10 range with his boots, but is more like 5ft8 without them.

Amanda, Mel Gibson was constantly criticized about his height in the press. Only recently when the press had other reasons to target him, did they stop targeting his height. Mel is often called 5'7" or 5'8" in the press, ocassionally, 5'6" and as low as 5'4". He was known as a short man. Throughout the 80's and 90's Mel's height was a popular topic. I actually always thought he was 5'11" because that's what he looked in movies to me and I didn't know much about lifts until the last few years.
I really don't think Mel cares about his height much. I doubt he would have taken his boots off on Letterman's show and I doubt he would gave pointed to his shoes and said there were no lifts in Parkinson's show.

I'm somewhat skeptical because Gibson has very short arms and legs for a man of 5ft9/10.Check out Lethal Weapon when he's running barefoot for the freeway. Russell looks more in proportion for a man that size, which is my argument.And Brad that ain't no assertion he "is" taller than Mel, rather he definitely "looked" it in Tequila Sunrise. Be it down to lifts, or whatever.

Uh Vibram...even with no custom wedge he'd own Phoenix with them. He has specially made boots to make him taller. Kurt & Mel are notorious lift wearers with Russell wearing blatant cowboy boots with massive heel (watch him on Arsenio with Sly with heels as big as Burt Reynolds' '78ers) a lot of the time. Uh, Cakes, if he's "a few inches taller" than Mel, then it would be Mel dissuaded. I've seen him plenty of times in stealthy LeBlancers and a touch of Jason mountain boots with Vin tread sometimes. He brings out the cowboy boots with the 6+ footers. I've never seen him in Sly/Vin Boris Karloffers or Glenn Portmans.

I watched "Signs" last night and he was 1 to 1 1/2 taller than Joaquin Phoenix, that makes Mel 5ft9.25 / 176cm in my opinion if Phoenix is 5ft8 / 173cm. He was wearing Wolverine-type boots in the movie, and Phoenix a baseball trainer-type shoe. Hard to tell if he packed lifts into those Wolverines. He doesn't look as small as people make out... certainly not in that movie.

Again I remind you, that having open-heart surgery will rob most of height. That's why Arnold & Clinton have, indeed lost height. Letterman included. The surgery causes poor posture, which in turn causes more spinal curvature over time.

He even takes them off and stands up at one point barefoot next to Letterman! Would a man wearing lifts do that??

Letterman had no more than 2 inches on Mel when Mel was wearing the boots. Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here If Letterman is listed accurately here at 6'1.5" then he'd be about 6'2.5" in those shoes meaning Mel would measure over 6 feet in those boots. They're cowboy boots with 2 inch heels. Even if he had a 1 inch lift in there, that'd still make him Rob's listing of 5'9.5", but I'm not convinced he had a 1 inch lifts in there because I have my doubts that he'd be so quick to take them off if he did.
That has made me more sure than ever about Mel being 5'10". The 5'8" stuff is just incorrect. 5'9" flat is possible but it seems a bit too low now.

RF - Mel had heeled boots on your first link. You can see them when he walks out. Last night on the "Tonight Show", it looked like he was, in fact wearing elevators. The shoes had that odd look to them. They looked a little higher than normal shoes. I thought Jay had him by 1.5-2" last night. I think Mel is very close to 5-8 or 5-8.5. Very similar to Stallone.

in 1998 they look pretty much the same height. Click Here leno may be half an inch taller.
now in 2009, mel looks about an inch shorter. Click Here

i haven't heard much about kurt russell wearing lifts, much less anything that would rival burt reynold's footwear in the 70's. i believe burt had a 2.5" heel+1 inch lift combo that almost made him fall while walking.
mel looked 5-11 throughout the lethal weapon series next to 6-3/6-3.5 danny glover. though his cowboy boots helped him that still suggests he's even the 5-9, 5-10 range to me.

Russell is a notorious lifts guy. He lives in boots a lot also. He had boots that you could trim trees with on during an Arsenio Hall Show with Sly. I haven't seen things like that since Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show in '78.

it is difficult to judgde Mel's height: in some films he appears taller than others. He looked bigger than Joaquin Phoenix in the picture Rising Force put up from the Signs premiere. He just looks "bigger"as a whole:a much bigger head and everything. Big Mike was right that Mel was considerably shorter than 5ft 10 Kurt Russell in Tequila Sunrise. If the latter wasn't in lifts, I'd say Mel was 5ft6/7.God knows what that'll make Phoenix!

i don't think so because mel was shorter then kurt russell
and kurt russell is suppose to be 5 ft 10 so he must be shorter then 5 ft 9

In Payback, he clearly was shorter than the two agents hunting him down (though they were well over 6 foot). I'd say he's about 5' 8 1/2"...maybe 5' 9".

5'9 flat would not surprise me. The thing is a person should never adjust an estimate based off 1-2 pictures, such as the jim carrey pic. I think 5'9 would be accurate. I'm sure 5'10+ guys would distort the small difference in height and say mel is 5'7.

mel looks 2 inches taller than 5-9 ron howard. Click Here even if he were in huge 3 inch elevators and ron was in 1 inch shoes, that'd still mean mel is 5-9 barefoot. but who knows if that's the case, that does point to mel being in the 5-9, 5-10 range though.
oddly mel looks quite a bit bigger than phoenix in this picture from that signs premiere. Click Here

He's in Lethal Weapon looking almost 6' in carefully directed angles and like a shorty on that dinky horse and running with his pack of 5' 8"ers on the countryside in Braveheart. Who is M Night? Jessica Simpson gets the award for looking the tallest through carefully shot videos/casting etc.. I swear to god I thought she was a tall Texan gal but is a shrimp.

He's the biggest mystery. He's also the richest which means means the best stealth shoes/boots. In Braveheart he looked really short on the dinky horse they had him on and running with the dinky actors screaming at their enemies.In the massive Priestley-LeBlanc's (hiking boots with lift) he can slog around in scenes at 5' 11".

Sorry ACG but i will not believe he took off his shoes in the Parky interview until i see the actual interview. Even Rob states that Mel said "and there are no lifts" while pointing to his shoes, which make it very obvious he stood up in shoes, not barefoot. But your free to believe it :)

ACG- I saw the interview with Parky and I dont recall Mel taking off his shoes but he did point to them and state "And look, there are no lifts". He was pretty close to Parky in height who I believe was around 5'10" at peak. Given Parky's age at the time of the interview, I believe he was approx 175cm-176cm or 5'9"-5'9.5" with Mel almost the same. Mel's shoes on the night were not dodgey looking and had a low cut on them with a small heel. They were dress shoes from memory.Like yourself, I cant find the interview either, it seems to be as elusive as Mel's true barefoot height. lol.

Mickey: The episode of him on Parky is rare. EXTREMELY rare. I tend to be a true expert on finding "lost" things over the internet (even by using some less than orthodox means, ehem....) and when I used all of my "resources" to try and uncover the full Gibson interview, I came up blank.
Now that's saying a lot as to how hard it is to get ahold of.
My point is, since almost nobody has seen it, several various people over a good few years have come on here and claimed that Mel DID indeed take off his shoes in the interview.
Since the details we have on the clip are vague, I see no reason why not to believe them. After all, if Mel was only 5'8 he:
A. most definitely wouldn't have brought up the issue of height himself in the first place.
B. wouldn't have made himself look like a fool by NOT taking off his shoes when they are so easy to remove, to prove his point.
So there you have it. Mel is 5'10 and, sadly for him, few people got the chance to see his hardcore proof.

ACG: Gibson can look 5-8 but I think he is more like 5-9. He is around the same height as Stallone. He stood surprisingly well against Glover in Lethal Weapon. Looked all of 5-11 in that movie but was probably due to cowboy boots and camera tricks. Back when I went to public school there was actually some guy who was convinced Gibson was 6-1 and Glover 6-7 !! Can you spell D E L U S I O N A L! Lol.

Do you seriously believe a 5'9" man would get as much flack as Cruise does in the press??? Hell no, in lifts he would reach Stallone territory of 6'0-6'1" all the time. HE DOESN'T. He is a flat 5'7". The reason he looks taller than Glenn in the pic is, yup you guessed it: Lifts. Nuff said.
