6ft2 looked believeable in Alfie
Z187 said on 21/Nov/15
Barely taller (if not shorter) than bale, Nolan and dicaprio.. Can't believe he was ever 188 on this evidence.
grizz said on 2/Oct/15
Jwwjr.,I think they downplayed his height a bit. As a 6'1.5 guy at his prime,he could be classified both 6'1 and 6'2 (former extremely rarely,though).
jwwjr. said on 29/Sep/15
In his autobiography, it shows a photo of one of his early head shots and description .it says hisname and height 6ft.1 in
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Aug/15
I think 6ft2 is still acceptable. There's just a good chance he dipped a little below it at the end of the day. 6ft1 flat is low for his peak.
grizz said on 12/Aug/15
In Bewitched (2004 movie) he really held its own next to cast that included then-6'3 Ferrell and 5'10.5 Kidman. I bet my cheese sandwich he was strong 6'1 back then.

Autographs aren't as valuable these days as photos
Chase Witherspoon said on 3/Aug/15
In one of his autos he mentions being "around six-foot" about the time he enlisted, sort of implies to me an inch or so either way, but not 6'2".... 186cm would be my shout..
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Aug/15
A lot of the younger actors are totally infatuated with themselves and think they're god's gift. It's so clear to me that some of them are in it for the money and the fame. Others...they're anger with the media intruding their privacy is understandable. From the moment they step out the door of their homes to the moment they step back in, they get swept up by an ocean of cameras. It gets nauseating after awhile and some just snap. Alec Baldwin is a prime example.
Editor Rob
when you go to a shopping mall and people from say a Utility or Credit card company tries to stop and get you to sign up for something...for a well-known actor, in public that's what it probably feels like a lot of the time. You can develop a thick skin and really ignore most of it, but many do react, naturally of course...
Unfortunately that is part of the package of becoming quite famous. If it's not the paparazzi, it's the professional autograph hounds and in the last decade the rise of 'selfie hounds'.
James B said on 22/Jul/15
Yeah rob a lot of actors think there larger than life
James B said on 21/Jul/15
Rob I don't think Caine is the nicest of actors is he in real life judging by stories of his fierce temper on set and seeing him in interviews. Not a man you would want to upset and just by him giving you that 'look' you don't want to cross the line with him.
Seeing him play Alfred you'd think he was the sweetest man in the world. Leslie Grantham said actors are the worst people in the world and indeed they are paid to deceive us.
Editor Rob
sometimes with films maybe it is best not knowing about personal lives of actors.
I don't envy though, the personal intrusion that actors have to endure. I can understand the nature of the business, the people involved, the 'yes men' and adulation. Over time actors can let it 'get to their heads' and it changes them, sometimes for the worse, but maybe in a lot of cases for the better; they realise the influence they have and use it for doing great things.
Arch Stanton said on 10/Jun/15

There are scenes in Interstellar where he look shorter than 5'11 3/4" Matthew McConaughey. He us 81 years old Rob. The average man will have lost 2" by then. I think he's max 6'0", but can look 5'11" these days. 6'1" is definitely out of the question.
Are you joking?!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/15
Rob, who do you think was taller peak Connery or Caine?
Editor Rob
can be hard to tell in their film together, depending on angles, either could look at times an edge.

I would say he was a weak 6'2" peak and probably more 184 cm today.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Dec/14
@Arch: That scene in Dr. No where Jack Lord frisks Connery...easily 1-2in in Connery's favour.
Mike said on 7/Dec/14
Him and Connery could look close in height but I think its clear Connery was more of a 188 guy than Caine.
Arch Stanton said on 7/Dec/14
I can play Alfie on the guitar in a jazz style, in fact it's one of my favourite songs to play. I nicked some of the chords from Burt Bacharach LOL!!
Arch Stanton said on 7/Dec/14
Rob can you add a photo from Alfie/Get Carter days?
Arch Stanton said on 7/Dec/14
Yeah I think you're right Rampage it was a tough call really but both around that 6 ft 2 mark. Connery in some scenes in Goldfinger and Dr. No in particular yeah he could seem a 189-90 guy at times. Walking down the hotel corridor in Goldfinger and Dr. No (with Ursula) he could look near 6 ft 3, but he was a good 2 inches shorter than 6'4" Rik van Nutter in Thunderball and didn't seem that much taller than Jack Lord in Dr. No really.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Dec/14
Arch, I'd go w/h Connery since he was bald and was in sandals while Caine was in military boots. But then again one could argue 187cm for the latter's peak. They were probably both around the 6ft2 mark in all honesty give or take.If were gonna be precise, looking at other films all evidence points towards 6ft1½-2 or "weak" 6ft2 for Caine (he could look just 6ft1 at times also). I'd go more in the opposite direction for Connery and guess anywhere between 6ft2-2½ or "strong" 6ft2 for his peak since he could pull off looking 6ft3 in early Bond and was considerably taller than other legit 6ft1 men (Gert Frobe, Jack Lord and even a young Kevin Costner later on)
Arch Stanton said on 21/Nov/14
I can't decide who edged who in The Man Who Would Be King. Just when you think Caine edged him out Connery could seem a bit taller. I think they were very close.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Nov/14
His role in Inception is very minor.But Educating Rita should definitely be in there (he was nominated for best actor that year)
Sam said on 6/Nov/14
Could you beef up his credits? "best known for roles in films like Zulu, The Ipcress File, Alfie, The Italian Job, Sleuth, The Man Who Would Be King, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Cidar House Rules, The Prestige and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series".
I preferred The Quiet American to Cidar House Rules but he won an Oscar for the latter so I deferred. Also tough to leave off Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, A Bridge Too Far, Dressed to Kill, Educating Rita, Mona Lisa, Little Voice, Quills, Children of Men, Inception and on and on! Despite slumming in a bit of dreck here and there, Caine truly has had a career to be proud of.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Oct/14
The 6ft1¾ could be a better fit but I wouldn't go lower than 6ft1½ though. He's still 6ft1 today and agree he's hasn't lost as much height as Connery through the years.
mike said on 9/Oct/14
If you're gonna have Connery 6ft 2 flat 6ft 1.5 will be spot on for Caine.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Sep/14
A weak 6ft2 might be more plausible for his peak
mike said on 19/Aug/14
Rob, i think you should downgrade his peak to atleast 6ft1.75in 187 cm he didn't look a full 6ft 2next to Connery downgrade Rob?
mike said on 18/Aug/14
Michael Caine's height is 6ft 0.75in (185 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 1.75in (187 cm)

At peak height I would give Michael Caine 187cm but today I think he is a strong 6'0 or 184cm.

Six-one in his younger days.
Just over six feet today.
It's amazing to see some of these actors in person because hardly any are the height they claim.
Almost every actor I've seen in the flesh was shorter than their bio claimed.
There were a handful,of exceptions.
John Wayne was definitely six-four.
Rock Hudson was six-five.
Steve McQueen was close to, if not five-ten.
George Segal was five-eleven as he claims.

We both frequent the same shop on Oxford Street and I have, on numerous occasions stood next to him. He's 6'1" dead on.

I think 187-188 cm range at peak, he can look more 184-185 cm today.
Sam said on 9/Jan/14
Caine looked not much more than 6'1" in Hannah and Her Sisters, as both Max Von Sydow and Daniel Stern seemed several inches taller (close to 3 than 2 in)...on the other hand, in almost all of his early British movies he seems to tower over others like an easily 6'2" guy. Connery and Caine are similar, though I think Connery might a slightly stronger 6'2" than Caine is based on the comparison.
Lenad said on 4/Jan/14
weak 187cm guy prime

'Britt Ekland's nudity', lol, it was a body double, Britt moaned because she herself was reed slim but the body double had a rounded bottom
Arch Stanton said on 28/Dec/13
Thanks. I really thought Caine looked 6'2" range in Get Carter. Although the camera angle in a lot of scenes was looking up which made him look even taller. Of course none of males like films like Get Carter and The Wicker Man because of Britt Ekland's nudity, such a put off ;-]. The Italian Job is on TV later, haven't seen the original for quite a few years...
Arch Stanton said on 27/Dec/13
Rob can you add Alfie and The Ipcress File?
Arch Stanton said on 27/Dec/13
Really does look about 6'2" in Get Carter.
Lenad said on 24/Dec/13
Good point rampage. I still think for the most part connery didn't seem over 6'2 but very close to it nevertheless. Caine on the other hand, while tall looked more in the 6'1 range to me.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Dec/13
Connery could very well have cleared 6ft2 in his 20s and 30s, Lenad. Watch any of his Bond movies or even The Rock and you'll know what I mean. Caine might've been 6ft2, but there's a good chance he was more 6ft1.5-6ft1.75.
Lenad said on 22/Dec/13
he looked the same if not marginally shorter than sean connery who I doubt was over 6'2. 186-187 for caine
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Nov/13
Actually, 6ft1.75in/187cm is equally possible for his peak. He looked more weak 6ft2 range in Get Carter, Sleuth and the Italian Job.
Connery was definitely the stronger 6ft2 guy in The Man Who Would Be King.
Arch Stanton said on 19/Oct/13
Rob why haven't you listed Alfie and The Ipcress File, he was nominated for an Oscar for Alfie and a BAFTA for Ipcress, they're among his signature roles I think, certainly iconic in British cinema. Looks a full 6'2" in the Ipcress File. He looks about 3 inches taller than Guy Doleman who you might remember in the clinic as "Count Lippe" in Bond's Thunderball opposite Sean Connery. He was about 5 ft 11. Nigel Green looks 4 inches taller than Doleman in Ipcress and about an inch on Caine. He was listed at 6'4", I guessed him at 6'3" which would seem more likely.
NJP said on 6/Oct/13
Seen him regularly on oxford street and stood next to him in the queue in HMV. Seemed a strong 6ft so 6ft1 standing to attention is probably correct.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jul/13
I think he looked 6ft2 range right up until the 90s. In Batman Begins and Dark Knight looked a bit shorter than Morgan Freeman but easily taller than Bale.
188cm peak, 186cm now
Sam said on 12/Jul/13
He might have had a mid-day peak of 187 cm but anything less seems unlikely to me.

Connery 6ft2.5(189cm), Caine 6ft2(188cm)
joe joe said on 6/Dec/12
To be fair Rob I think He must have been six two because when I met him a year or so ago we were eye to eye and he seemed a good 6'1 so common sense would say that taking into account height loss he would have been minimum 6'2 in his younger day. Maybe the army measured him at night and he came out as 187 lol. But he is very tall for an older guy and has quiet good posture.
joe joe said on 19/Nov/12
Just have to say it again. read his official biography again yesterday and it definitley has his height at the age of 22 on his army and acting records as 6'1 I dont think cain was ever 6'2. I have met him at at an old age he still seems 6'1 to me to it is feeseble that he was 6'2 and lost some height but i dont see why he or his agents would say he was 6'1 if he was 6'2. plus at 22 for boys you are in your last year of growth.
Editor Rob
he still thinks he's six two, he mentioned it in that book aswell.

thebad7 said on 19/Oct/11
NO. 6'2". He was always a long-limbed guy, but his heavy build is deceptive and sometimes makes him look shorter than what he is. 6'2" is correct for him--like his friend Sean Connery, he hits 6'3" in shoes. Even today he looks close to 6'2"--he hasn't lost much.
"Looks 6'0" just like Jim Carrey?" What are you smoking? He has 2" on Carrey, FFS!

@Gus: They're onstage, they're moving around a bit, but I think that both Connery and Caine are both minimum 6'2" at this event in '89--add in the dress shoes and both are 6'3" onstage. Both men have kept most of their height; in recent photos they still look to be minimum 6'1" in older age, and still close to 6'2".

Maybe 6'2 or 6'1.75 peak.
In 2004 michale caine was 186cm. just look at him next too Christian bale in batman begins.

Is it still a possibility that Caine is 186cm, Rob?
thebad7 said on 1/Jul/11
A true legend--the original GET CARTER immortalized him. Just watched him in a low-key--albeit gritty & brutal--film from 2010 titled HARRY BROWN. Although he was 77 at the time, he still looks to have maintained that height. He's at least 6'1" today, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was still hitting the 6'2" mark, at least in the morning hours. He was a tall man when he was young, and now in older age, he's still tall. Great actor.

In sweet liberty, Alda was a little bit tallere than Caine, almost the same. Same that Connery with Caine. So,i think that both Alda and Connery are true 6'2 footers and Caine was close to 6'2 at peak, but not a true 6'2. Like a strong 6'1.
Shadow2 said on 2/Jan/11
Just a dumb question everyone, but if Sean Connery is now agreed on this site to have been 6'2" peak, and in 1975's "The Man who would be King" he was (consistently) slightly taller than Caine, then how is it that Caine can also be 6'2"?? Was Caine 6'1.5"?, or 6'1"?. In 1986's "Sweet Liberty", Caine is in scenes with legit 6'2" Alan Alda, so what height does Caine seem to be there, compared to Alda?

In Alfie I saw 187-188cm, I saw 187-188cm in Cider house rules and in sleuth I saw 186-187cm in the Quiet American and Sleuth.
James said on 4/Jun/09
Yeah I am kinda with Hugh on this one to an extent. But Caine did look 187cm in Dirt Rotten Scoundrels.
Hugh 190cm said on 4/Jun/09
I also saw 188-189cm in The Cider House Rules and 187cm in Batman Begins and Dark Knight. 187-188cm in the Quiet American.
Hugh 190cm said on 4/Jun/09
I saw 189cm in Educating Rita, 188cm in Alfie and 186-187cm in Sleuth.
James said on 3/Jun/09
Yeah Lenad he did look tall in Alfie like 6'2.
Lenad said on 3/Jun/09
I now think 185cm min. I saw 185-186 in Get Carter but 187-188 in Alfie
James said on 2/Jun/09
Hugh glenn did see Michae Caine at only 6ft though.
Hugh 190cm said on 30/May/09
Maybe his posture wasn't great. I buy 6ft1.5 now.
James said on 28/May/09
I agree Lenad even back in Get Carter 6'2 seemed quite extreme.
Lenad said on 27/May/09
I'm now betting 55 dollars on a strong 6'1 and 45 dollars on a weak 6'2.
James said on 24/May/09
Hmmm well Steve Martin could have been more a weak 6footer like 5'11.5-5'11.75 at his peak. Even if Steve Martin was a full 6ft back in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Michal Caine looked 187cm in comparison.
Hugh 190cm said on 24/May/09
He looked about 2 inches taller than Martin. Steve Martin was 6ft back then. Caine began shrinking some time in the 90's. He definitely looked all of 6ft2 then aswell. In the Cider House Rules he looked at least 6ft2, more like 6ft2.5. Was only 1-1.5 inches shorter than 6ft4 Delroy Lindo.
James said on 23/May/09
Well to me he looked to be struggling with 6'2 next to Steve Martin and that was in the late 80's.
Hugh 190cm said on 17/May/09
Still looks a solid 6ft1.5 guy. He was a legit 6ft2 in the 60's,70's,80's and early 90's.
Lenad said on 16/May/09
To me Caine was a solid 6'1, MAYBE a weak 6'2
Lenad said on 15/May/09
Alright I admit it. In Alfie he looked 6ft2ish
Lenad said on 11/May/09
Anonymous must be Hugh
Anonymous said on 6/May/09
Most likely 187cm today and 188cm peak.
Lenad said on 3/May/09
I think most likely a weak 6ft1 today like 184-185cm
Anonymous said on 29/Apr/09
Anything less than 6ft1 now or even then for that matter is ridiculous. I buy 6ft1.5 now and 6ft2 peak. Alan Alda is probably a weak 6ft2 nowadays and a strong 6ft2 peak.
Lenad said on 22/Apr/09
For his youth I'd bet 80 dollars on a strong 6'1, 10 dollars on a weak 6'1 and and 10 dollars on a weak 6'2. Never been a solid 6'2 in his whole life
ikbtops said on 21/Apr/09
I've been checking out "Sweet Liberty" stills and Alan Alda is definitely taller than him. Making Caine closer to 6'1" . Alda is built kind of like the Rza and I wouldn't doubt if at his peak if he and Rza were closer to 6'3" out of bed...different beds of course.
Lenad said on 19/Apr/09
Its possible he was a hair under 6'1 at peak but thats the min. A solid 6'1 is most likely for his youth and a weak 6'1 today
adam said on 17/Apr/09
How old are you Hugh?
Caine could have been near 6-2 peak. Nowadays 6-1.
Hugh 190cm said on 10/Apr/09
6ft2 flat no more no less peak and 6ft1.5 now no more no less.
Lenad said on 10/Apr/09
I think 183cm at lowest today. Hugh its dumb to say Caine was 6'2 min at peak and 6'1.5 min now.
Hugh 190cm said on 5/Apr/09
In Alfie and say The Italian Job I see a solid 6ft2 man.
Hugh 190cm said on 4/Apr/09
Lenad how tall would you say Caine is now at the lowest?
Hugh 190cm said on 4/Apr/09
Under 6ft1 peak is outrageous. 6ft2 peak and 6ft1.5 now. Next to Christian Bale in Batman Begins and Dark Knight he still looked 6ft2. 187cm solid now.
Lenad said on 31/Mar/09
There maybe just a chance he was under 6'1 at peak. But thats the min. 184-187. Come on Hugh thats tall.
Hugh 190cm said on 28/Mar/09
187cm now.
Lenad said on 24/Mar/09
185-186cm at peak.
Misha said on 21/Mar/09
Caine just turned 76 a few days ago and has lost at least a substantial inch from his early prime. I think he is probably around 6'0.5" or perhaps 6'0.75", so that adjusting up very slightly to 6'1" is certainly acceptable.
A general observation: I think the unit of measurement at which we begin to notice differences in height seems to be about half an inch. The passionate debating one sometimes sees over a quarter of an inch (i.e., whether Brad Pitt is 5'10.5" or 5'10.75" - we're never going to know and who cares?) is surely pointless and a waste of space.
\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 22/Feb/09
Pretty Much James. 187cm it is.
Ange said on 22/Feb/09
He didn't look that much shorter than Morgan, but a hair taller than Bale in TDK. This seems legit.
-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 18/Feb/09
My mistake. I think Bale could be a little over 6ft. Clive Owen and Michael Caine looked the same height but it was a different movie. I think 187cm is right for Caine nowadays. Has lost no more than 1cm from his peak height of 6ft2. I think nowadays in the morning Caine could be 188cm.
-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 16/Feb/09
Hold on, Clive Owen was in Get Carter, right? Well maybe Caine looked as low as 6ft1 because he had lost some height anyway. But I still stand by my 187cm claim for Michael. 6ft2 in his prime and a solid 6ft1.5 now. 6ft1 is the lowest.
Hugh said on 10/Feb/09
Next to Clive Owen he could look 6ft2.
Lenad said on 10/Feb/09
He looked 6ft1ish next to Steve Martin. Caine has barely shrunken if you ask me. Look at him next to Clive Owen if you dont believe me.
Hugh said on 10/Feb/09
He's still 187cm. He dropped exactly 1cm.
Lenad said on 9/Feb/09
No less then a strong 183cm and no more than a strong 186cm today. As I said before, Caine still looks at least 6'0 today.
Hugh said on 8/Feb/09
187cm now.
mike said on 7/Feb/09
I worked on the set for batman begins and met Michael. He was 0.5inch smaller than me.I`m 6ft1inch.
Lenad said on 6/Feb/09
6'1 looks right for Caine.
Lenad said on 6/Feb/09
No less than a strong 184 and no more than a strong 187 at peak sounds right.
Lenad said on 4/Feb/09
Looked a solid 6'1 in Get Carter.
Hugh said on 3/Feb/09
6ft2 seems sensible for his peak height. Caine is still close to 6ft2. 187cm.
Hugh said on 2/Feb/09
pretty much.
Lenad said on 31/Jan/09
I'm a solid 177cm most of the day.
Hugh said on 31/Jan/09
I measured at 191.8cm this morning.
Lenad said on 30/Jan/09
Yes James I am 177cm most of the day
josh said on 29/Jan/09
Saw both Michael Caine and Sean Connery at a convention in 1985.Both were the same height 6ft1.5 inch.I was then also 6ft 1.5inch.
Hugh said on 28/Jan/09
Michael Caine 6ft2 188cm.
Sean Connery Connery 6ft2.5 189cm.
Lenad said on 28/Jan/09
I measured meself this morning I was 178.2cm.
Lenad said on 26/Jan/09
Could have been a strong 188cm out of bed. No more than that though. When he said 6'2 more than likely its in shoes or hes rounding up.
Hugh said on 23/Jan/09
It should be Connery 6ft2.5 (189cm) and Caine 6ft2 (188cm)
Josh said on 22/Jan/09
If sean connery connery is 6ft 2 then caine is about 6ft 1. In the film the man who would be king connery looked atleast half an inch to an inch taller.
Lenad said on 22/Jan/09
184cm at the lowest for peak. Likely more than that. A strong 6'1 for his younger days it is.
Hugh said on 19/Jan/09
I buy 188cm peak and 187cm now.
Lenad said on 19/Jan/09
I'm thinking Caine was at minimum a solid 184cm at peak and most likely 6ft1 on the dot. strong 187cm tops. He could have been a strong 188cm out of bed in the morning but no more. I also dont think he has shrunken.
Hugh said on 19/Jan/09
In Alfie, Sleuth, Educating Rita and The Cider House Rules he looked every bit of 6ft2.
Hugh said on 18/Jan/09
Nowadays Caine isn't quite 6ft2. But still close. 187cm.
Hugh said on 18/Jan/09
I think he could've been James. I'd say Big Sam was closer to 6ft3 if not 6ft3. Ben Affkeck is slap-down in between 6ft2 and 6ft3. Kutcher is possibly 190cm.
Lenad said on 15/Jan/09
Caine still looks at least 6'0 today.
Lenad said on 12/Jan/09
183cm lowest nowadays. Hugh what is the highest you can buy for his prime?
Hugh said on 12/Jan/09
Lenad what's the lowest you could buy nowadays for Caine?
Hugh said on 12/Jan/09
I think he's still 6ft1.5. 6ft2 was his peak height.
Lenad said on 11/Jan/09
He was not a full 6'2 ever. He was 187cm at the most. Nevertheless he was obviously a tall man. Likely 6ft1 on the dot. I could probably buy 184cm at the lowest for his peak. He looked like a legit 6ft1 guy in my eyes.
Lenad said on 11/Jan/09
The most he could have been is 187cm. I think 185cm prime and down to 183cm today. He looks similar height to Christian Bale who is probaly 5ft11.5.
Hugh said on 10/Jan/09
He's currently 187cm. 6ft2 in his prime is correct. He looked really tall next to Lawrence Olivier in Sleuth.
Lenad said on 10/Jan/09
187cm is the most Caine could have been. If anything 6ft1 probably is his youth height. No way a full 6ft2 but tall nevertheless.
Lenad said on 9/Jan/09
Rob downgraded his current height to 185cm from 186cm.
Marty said on 8/Jan/09
In The Dark Knight we clearly see Caine walking side-by-side with Bale and they're about the same height ( give or take 1 cm ) so I see Bale at 182 - 183 and Caine at 183 - 184 max !!!! Let's say he's a strong 6 footer while Bale is a weak 6 footer.
Hugh said on 5/Jan/09
C'mon not 185cm, 187cm nowadays.
Hugh said on 31/Dec/08
Caine 188cm peak.
Connery 189cm peak.
Hugh said on 31/Dec/08
6ft2 peak without a doubt. He towered over everyone in The Italian Job, Sleuth, Alfie etc. A solid 6ft2 up until the early-mid 90's.
Hugh said on 30/Dec/08
Currently Caine is 187cm.
Lenad said on 29/Dec/08
There are a few 187cm listings for this guy
Lenad said on 29/Dec/08
I think Caine was strong 185cm weak 186cm in his prime. But he was never a full 6ft2 thats for sure.
Hugh said on 27/Dec/08
Caine is 187cm yoyo. Bale is just over 6ft.
Hugh said on 27/Dec/08
Bale is 184cm and Caine is 187cm.
yoyo said on 24/Dec/08
Christian Bale was 180barely. Caine is only barely 183cm. Watch Children of Men you will notice some scene while 6ft2 Clive Owen with a about 0.5inch(1 to 1.5cm) flat slippers looks a solid 3cm taller than Michael Cain with a good shoe lift(2.5cm to 4cm). if Michael Caine was 6ft1 Clive would be huge like 6ft3 or 6ft3.5. If you put both Clive and Caine stands with braefoot. I truely believe you were see Clive had 2inch over Sir Caine. i"ll say 6ft for the old men.
Lenad said on 17/Dec/08
182cm is dead on for Bale. He doesnt look a strong 6feet.
Lenad said on 10/Dec/08
To tell you the truth James, 182cm for Christian Bale looks closer to the truth.
Hugh said on 8/Dec/08
No Caine was actually about 1-2 inches taller than Cage.
steve said on 8/Dec/08
If hes 186 cm why Nicolas cage quoted at 183 cm, looks the same height of him ?
Hugh said on 6/Dec/08
Caine was a legit 6ft2 at his peak. He's now 6ft1.5 (187cm).
Hugh said on 3/Dec/08
I think he's 187cm today.
anonymous said on 3/Dec/08
6 foot max.
Hugh said on 2/Dec/08
I can't see Christian Bale shorter than 6ft.
Hugh said on 27/Nov/08
I think he was 188cm peak. He towered over everyone in the Italian Job. Could've sworn I saw 6ft3 in Educating Rita! I think 187cm is his current height.
Lenad said on 25/Nov/08
Peak. I think 6'1.25 should be his peak height.In the man who would be king I remember him being marginally shorter than Sean Connery. But Michael Caine was never a full 6'2 thats for sure.
Hugh said on 23/Nov/08
Lenad, Peak or now.
Lenad said on 22/Nov/08
I can buy 187cm at the highest.
Hugh said on 6/Nov/08
Caine always looked like a legit 6ft2 guy to me when he was younger. These days he is shorter. Say 187cm?
Tubbs said on 27/Oct/08
I think Caine is about 6'1" these days.....in a show he did with Roger Moore a couple of weeks back, Roger looked to edge him in all the shots they had together.
Lenad said on 17/Oct/08
He was more 6'1 than 6'2.
nicole said on 14/Oct/08
Think too that Frazier is tall guy 191cm is possible.
Ray said on 14/Oct/08
Someone held a measuring tape up against him....hardly very accurate
Ray said on 13/Oct/08
Well Hugh, Fraser admitted to being 6'2". So Rob says. Also, I have a feeling Caine is the type to wear lifts.
Hugh said on 12/Oct/08
Caine did only look an inch at the most shorter than Brendan Fraser (6ft3) in The Quiet American. He towered over everyone in the Italian Job and Sleuth.
Hugh said on 10/Oct/08
I think 187cm is Caine's height nowadays. He looked half an inch shorter than Morgan Freeman in Batman Begins. I can definately buy 6ft2 for Caine in his prime. No more than that though.
Ray said on 10/Oct/08
I agree James on Connery but Caine in my opinion was a flat 6'1" peak. Possibly 187 cm straight out of bed.
Hugh said on 9/Oct/08
6ft2 was his height without a doubt.
ozzy osborne said on 7/Oct/08
well ime a bout 5'11" and when i met him once we were about the same hieght but i was wearing
Air Force ones so hes probly about 6'0"-6'1" but hes lost a lot of hieght
Hugh said on 6/Oct/08
True but that doesn't mean he's talking about his peak height. He could be talking about his height nowadays. Aswell you don't need to be freakishly tall to downplay your height. For example Josh Holloway of Lost claims 6ft1 as his height and is listed as 6ft1 here but is clearly the same height as Matthew Fox whose a legit 6ft2. Hugh Jackman is another guy who downplays his height.
Hugh said on 5/Oct/08
I think he was nearer to 6ft3 when he was younger. He's probably just downplaying his height a bit.
Hugh said on 4/Oct/08
Actually James there is a source on
Click Here where Connery says he's 6ft2 then pauses and admits he's 'actually' 6ft1.5.
Hugh said on 25/Sep/08
But was measured barefoot at 6ft2.5 during his bodybuilding years.
Ray said on 23/Sep/08
Sorry to go on about Sean on Caine's page but Sean has said himself he was 6'1.5" (in his prime). Why can't people accept that ?
Hugh said on 10/Sep/08
If Connery is under 6ft2 then so is Julian Glover and Hackman. He was taller than them.
Hugh said on 9/Sep/08
If you're 6ft1 and up you don't need to wear lifts.
Hugh said on 8/Sep/08
I know. It's stupid. Michael is still a tall guy. He doesn't need to wear lifts. He still looks near 6ft2. About 6ft1.5 now.
nicole said on 4/Sep/08
Yes, in this scene he looked 5ft11.Funny James, thougt also in this direction cause the slight lifts in case of Michael.
nicole said on 3/Sep/08
That`s really a good point, James. Hm, with Christian Bale`s height i`m not sure.Sometimes in photos and films he looks 5ft11inch, than 6ft or more. Really difficult case.Maybe Caine was in his youth 187cm and yet 184cm ? In Sean Connerys case was i evertime sure he was near 189cm peak height, but Frank2 and my goodfather Ben saw this men and the and i trust them because the came to the same result.
Gonzalo said on 3/Sep/08
Frank2, did you work in Get Carter? How was that possible since that movie was shot in the UK? What did you do exactly?
I guess Tubbs is interested in that too, aren
