Here’s a few pics of Michael’s footwear from that day: Click Here Click Here Click Here
As you can see, he’s wearing what appears to be cuban heel style boots with close to a 2" boost. Not sure if this explains the 5'11" report, because as far as I can tell there’s no height chart behind Jack...just a wall: Click Here
Is it possible he was measured at the police station Rob?

I will say 5'11 because I've seen videos of Michael and he seems extremely taller than people that are 5'8. Personally I would even go to 6'0, but with this limit, I will have to keep it at 5'11. Many people think he is short just because he is at a normal height, but extremely skinny, but from my experience with being skinny, it only adds about 1/4 of an inch. His police report also says 5'11 too.

Editor RobUnfortunately on a portion of more popular pages, a purge of comments was done a couple of years ago, which I've been unable to recover.
But still, there's about 5% of pages on the site that now have all their comments from the past viewable now.

Must be 172cm max. On stage you only see him dancing way closer than to other dancers who can be only 170-175cm by standarts of him (Who’s choosing) + He had long legs and wearing shoulder pads.

@Michael Kostelac: Thanks for the link. She mentioned he maybe had a 29" inseam, but Michael Bush claimed it was a 32": Click Here
Bush was obviously Jackson’s personal costume designer, and did claim 5'10", and though I’m not convinced he was that tall, I’d think there would at least be more validity to that, given these were actual measurements (according to him) and he’d worked for Jackson for a good 30 years (1984/5-2009)
However, back to the video...She did state Jackson was only 5'6" or so prior to what she said in the video you posted (in a Sony magazine article), and also claimed he had a 26" waist and on another occasion, 28" waist. So I’ll conclude they’re mostly just rough estimates, if anything. George H.W. Bush would have to have been a 5'11"-6' tops guy, and Oprah no more than 5'3" range at best, if we suppose Deborah Landis’ guesses have any validity to it. Only adds to the confusion really....*scratches head*
What’s your take, Rob?

@Cameron: Doubt he would have shrank considering he was 51 when he died. If he lost any height at all it probably would have been around a quarter of an inch, if that. I think 175/176cm is reasonable.
He was just a bit more than two months away from his 51st birthday on 6/25/09.

MJ’s height was never consistent so I still get lost on where to pinpoint him sometimes. I definitely couldn’t see him being only 5'7" though. 5'9" still seems fairly reasonable to me, but he could appear shorter or even taller at times. I’ll always be puzzled by how so many notable people who’d met the guy were able to think he appeared over six feet in person! Even solid 2" cuban heels would only at best make a 5'9" dude appear 5'10"...and he never looked taller than his claim either imo, if taking footwear into account.
He does arguably look taller than 174 cm Lenny Kravitz in this photo, given the slouch, but not by much: Click Here

I do wonder how Frank2's estimate for Jackson changed so drastically over the years. He always struck me as being one of the most somewhat reliable and interesting members on the site. He claimed the meeting took place in 1988 - and we're talking back in 2006...that's near 20 years he stuck with one estimate...what sparked a change like that? A good 2-3 inch variation. He was therefore either lying in '06 or lying later on. Makes me wonder how sincere he was about on the heights of other celebrities he claimed to have met on here too. I could even recall him saying Sly was only 5'7" at one point!
I have been saying this for quite some time now. You don't just get a random epiphany decades later and remember someone as being 5'7" or 5'8" max instead of 5'9", after consistently claiming 5'9" for years. Frank2 may have been lying about the entire meeting/encounter to begin with....either that, or he'd amend his previous estimates due realizing how insane they sounded(because they usually were). He upgraded Sly from 5'7" to 5'8" when it dawned upon him that 5'7" was an utterly lost cause.
But with MJ, Frank2 downgraded him over time, starting with the death of MJ in 2009. He let his true colors show nicely, so it became extremely obvious as to why MJ went from 5'9" to 5'7" in Frank2's eyes.
"The only ones I feel sorry for are all those kids he raped" -Frank2/KnowItAll/Steve/Tom/*insert his other aliases here*(This was shortly after the death, when he still went by 'Frank2')
Brad would always praise Frank2 for his very accurate estimates.....except for when they didn't coincide with his own. Mel Gibson at 5'8"? Since they both agreed on that, Brad would mention how trustworthy Frank2 was when trying to argue 5'8" for Mel. But with the likes of MJ, Brad tried to rationalize 'F2 would downgrade his hates'. LOL....kinda a weak argument, IMO - but w/e. As a side note, Brad always seemed quite intent on upgrading what I could only assume to be his crushes. So many of the glamorous and 'hot' women would get a good extra inch if not two(sometimes even more!) from Brad. Never saw him blatantly upgrading any woman who wasn't considered to be attractive - or any man AT ALL, for that matter. Mariah, Britney, Katie Perry, Miley Cyrus, etc.....

Not quite sure how so many people think he might have been as short as 5’7? Aside from his autopsy saying he was 5’9, he generally looked average to tall when compared to other celebs and has consistently been described as people who have met him as being ‘tall’ so I doubt he was below 5’9...
It is true however that he seemed to have very bad posture and medical issues at some points in his life which may have made him look shorter or possibly lose height towards his later years.

I agree with your 5'7 statement because there is so much evidence pointing that. Actually he has long legs and wide shoulders with a good slim body and that creates some kind of illusion i think. + He's shorter than Marlon Brando that's a fact.

The most Jackson could have been was 5'8.5". Wearing a wig probably made him appear taller.
Yeah....I used to think Michael was a taller guy who fooled many into thinking he was shorter, but now I realize it was vice versa. Even Glenn claimed MJ was the same height as he was(five foot eight!), before he went into self-preservation mode as suspicions started to arise.

They probably do look about the same height there, considering Michael seems to be bending his knee at times throughout the video which might knock off some height, but Michael is wearing cowboy boots there, which could be giving him a half inch advantage. Eddie's therefore making him look a weak 5'9" at best if he's only 176 cm.

Yep, Jackson is around 5'9 because Murphy was slightly taller than him. Click Here is at the award event that Quivers was referring to when he "dwarved" Murphy. Clearly both Stern and Quivers are both blind because in the video you can clearly see that Jackson and Murphy are near the same height, in fact Murphy is about a quarter of an inch taller.

@MJKoP: That's a good point about there being no photos taken from the supposed meeting, I sort of always wondered that myself...but then again I'm inclined to believe they actually did meet, because Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (famous friend of Michael's) went on the Howard Stern Show many years ago and gave Howard a gift sent from Michael himself, who apparently had asked why Howard was so hostile to him (or about him) after they had met.

I find that Brett Ratner story hard to believe. Didn't he subsequently say it was actually a friend of Michael's after receiving a bunch of negative backlash? I heard that story years ago but can recall him backtracking on it. Either way, I must say that's a bizarre story for sure.
This video was posted before, but the guy standing between Michael and Diana Ross is Barry Manilow, listed here at six foot (peak): Click Here at 3:20 onwards, Michael could at times look almost as tall as him, but doesn't seem under 5'10" there, at least with Barry...unless Barry was shorter than his listed height, but most tend to think he's taller. But here's the clearest shot of Michael and Barry I could find from that event: Click Here Not sure how he pulled that off
He certainly edged out 5'8" Yul Brynner back in 1984: Click Here Click Here Click Here
Speaking of Brynner, I still find it hilarious he had the nerve to claim six feet! I initially thought Corey Feldman was the worst height-liar listed on the site, but Brynner and perhaps Tico Torres (who was likely below 5'6" but claimed 5'9"...even though Jon Bon Jovi himself also claimed that height, looks it and towered over Tico!)

But here's the clearest shot of Michael and Barry I could find from that event: Click Here Not sure how he pulled that off
He certainly edged out 5'8" Yul Brynner back in 1984: Click Here Click Here Click Here
Speaking of Brynner, I still find it hilarious he had the nerve to claim six feet! I initially thought Corey Feldman was the worst height-liar listed on the site, but Brynner and perhaps Tico Torres (who was likely below 5'6" but claimed 5'9"...even though Jon Bon Jovi himself also claimed that height, looks it and towered over Tico!)

157 lbs? That's hardly thin, even for a 5'10" dude. He was always very lean at best, and sometimes downright skeletal. You say he was never emaciated? Look at him during the trial...I'll try to pull up some pictures, but his eyes were far sunken in, his cheekbones were protruding like crazy - he literally looked like death. Incredibly gaunt at that time period(when the 92 lbs was claimed by his then-physician years later).
Howard Stern is cool, but he likes to concoct these fantastical stories and relay them in a very deadpan manner. Did the two actually even meet? Why are there no pictures from this event? Nobody had a camera to capture the two Kings(of Pop and of all media) together?? Stern loves to lead people on with his elongated rants and is known to take some liberties with the truth if he thinks there's potential entertainment value to be gained. I'm a fan of his, but know to take some of his tall tales(pun intended!) for what they are.
It's funny how Stern wasn't just saying Michael was very tall, but also quite "big" and "broad-shouldered"....however in a later rant, he called Michael "you little freak" when Brett Ratner was telling him of Jackson's escapades of chucking water balloons at a presumably homeless guy through the sunroof of a stretch limo in the suburbs of LA at 3 AM. :P

Has MJ really ever weighed that low? 92 lbs? That's even considerably underweight for a 5'4" person! I doubt he ever weighed that little.
As for his actual height, I don't think we'll ever really know. He could look tall, short or average at different periods. 5'8.5" is the lowest I'd go personally. For Jackson to be an inch below 5'9", Oprah would have to be 5'5" tops, Senior Bush 6'1" tops and Stevie Wonder 5'10" tops. But Jackson's height was definitely almost as enigmatic as Sly's, if not more so actually. I've read everything from as low as 5'6" to as much as 6'2" for him...that's a total of 8 inches!
How could a legitimate 6'5" guy like Howard Stern mistake a supposed 5'9" guy for being 6'2"? He came off sounding dead serious with that bizarro estimate at 4:55 in Click Here and even mentioned Jackson wearing penny loafers to their meeting in a non-height related text from his book. He's not the only guy who claimed to have met a tall Jackson. Many others like Pharrell Williams, Dick Zimmerman, Adam Curry, Stacy Brown and Paul Gambaccini have also shared their estimates with Howard's...what's the explanation for that? Could they have been lying? I'm not insinuating that he was anywhere near 6 feet as its obviously clear he wasn't, but its still an interesting topic that often gets dismissed.
I think his general weight throughout his lifetime fluctuated between 125 and 145 lbs, probably sitting more at around the 135-140-pound mark in his heyday. He was never "emaciated" thin, except for maybe around 1984. I did read his lowest weight was 105 lbs, so the 92-pound figure is a new one to me. He weighed 157 lbs a day before his press conference in London at the age of 50, and didn't really come off looking much heavier than he did throughout the 2005 trial.

Jackson was never any taller than 5'8". His wig, extremely thin build and special shoes made him appear taller.
You may very well be correct...during his 2005 court case, his doctor at the time(not Murray, obviously), stated that MJ was down to only 92 lbs. A 5'10"-6'2" man would likely be in a coma, or at the very minimum be bed-bound....unable to even sit through the criminal proceedings. Sure, he had lost weight and looked gaunt....but a mid-to-late 40s man with a solid to above average height at that crazy-low weight, would NOT be able to stand trial - or stand PERIOD.

Yes, but I think it has a lot to do with angles and how the camera may distort certain images or film, which usually eliminates the further a camera is from the object. Their shoulder-levels in those two caps are fairly close for instance, but their heads are almost comically obscure in size. The screenshots I posted, I feel, provide a more realistic comparison based on how far the camera is, their entire bodies being shown, with decent enough postures standing beside each other. But it does show how much comparisons can be deceptive as a whole, and in a quite significant manner.

@Harris - Only three big celebheights names I can recall who claimed to have met him.
1. Glenn - Initially steadfastly insisted Michael was no taller than himself at 5'8", after "meeting" a heavily disguised MJ in an alleyway behind a bookstore, where the security guard threatened to arrest Glenn if he made any requests, hence his explanation for no photograph. Of course it turned out Glenn was 5'6.5", and, like he did with a number of celebs, he increased his estimation as the years, from 5'9" to 5'10", even admitting that 5'11" was possible, but 5'10" was probably the safest bet.
2. Frank2/KnowItAll/Steve/Tom(?) did almost literally the exact opposite. Started out claiming MJ was 5'9" from an alleged up close and personal extended encounter inside a recording studio in 1988 and shortly after Jackson's death in 2009, changed his tune to 5'8" tops, and then down to 5'7" when he returned as KnowItAll, even saying he thought Mike could've even been as low as 5'6".
3. Self-purported 6'6" Brad spoke of Michael walking by him in a public courtroom in the year 2002(?), and for quite some time maintained MJ was "as listed" at five-foot-nine, but then boosted his guess to 5'10", subsequently adding that anything under 5'9.5" was "absolutely insane".
As you can see, at least the first two of these guys should probably be taken with a grain of salt the size of planet Jupiter. ;)

Personally I think Britney might be in the 5'4½" range but her current record is not the worst, I think she is probably 163-164 cm. Based on how Michael looks next to her, I think Jackson honestly deserves a range of 5'9¼". Really, I think 176 cm is the most honest and best for him.

He doesn't look far off Mandela's height (listed 6') in this video: Click Here, starting from 2:00 min; note he wore cuban heels that event as can be seen here: Click Here Click Here and without heels Click Here Click Here Click Here and here's some rare pics of him with 169 cm Quincy Jones: Click Here Click Here imo Rob has his height correct, 174 cm is probably more arguable for his later years though...he apparently had lupus which commonly causes arthritis and spine degeneration; both conditions were mentioned in his autopsy, so it's more than safe to say he'd lost some height by then.
Not to forget he also pulled off looking closer to 180 cm with 6' Stevie Wonder, in heeled boots obviously: Click Here Click Here (shoes are shown in this pic) and then a couple of pics with normal footwear from '86: Click Here Click Here at 8:50 minute mark in Click Here he looks no less than a couple of inches shorter than 5'11" Lionel Richie in a full view shot for a brief 7 seconds.

A legend! The best! Great Michael!
I think he was around 175cm or nearly 175cm barefoot.
Rest in peace Michael we'll never forget you always in our hearts you'll be there

To be honest is very difficult know the M.jackson's height because usually he was wearing lifts and tall hair. But in my opinion he was between 175 and 178 cm never less than 175 but not more than 178
Exactly exactly I don't know.

Karen Faye did state she was 5'8.75" and 5'9" also. She claims to have scoliosis and reasoned with that after a fan posted a question asking why she claimed 3 different heights Click Here . She stated Michael was 5'9" in multiple tweets, and also mentioned Michael being slightly taller than herself Click Here
Here's a pic of both Karen and Jackson: Click Here even with her upright posture and Jackson's loose stance, he still looks a smidgen taller there.
Just for the record, Michael Bush stated Jackson was 5' 10" and had a 9-1/2 US shoe size in this interview: Click Here Madame Tussaud's claim of 177 cm is close to Bush's claim, though I of course couldn't be sure he was actually even that tall. Nonetheless, both claimed to have measured him in his prime. I also think Rob could do with putting a little more info in the description at the top of the page given all the public references to his height.

On that site I read like Warren said "no one can beat Michael Jackson." and RisingForce said "Michael Jackson was FAR more talented than Bieber in everything to do with performing and it's not even close." and MJKoP said "I, like many others, believe his marginal talent is far overrated." are pretty sure and Yes he is forever. although I don't think that I hate Bieber as well.
When did I ever say anything even remotely similar to that? If I were to cite MJ's top TRILLION flaws, "marginal talent" wouldn't even come close to making that list. I've always considered him to be one of the most talented people EVER, irregardless of his personal life, which I'll fully admit left a lot to be desired.

@andre, his autopsy listed his height at 5'9", not 5'7". Click Here

he can look 183cm at his single taking.
Dude, all of his shoes was custom made and actually he used to dance with heels in his teenage years. If you look more focused on his shoes you can see the feet line. + Heel and on the stage he was stand always much more close to crowd (Naturally) and his slander posture gives the illusion.

Here's a full shot of Jackson with 6'2" Bill Clinton in 2000: Click Here, he's got on dress shoes with a thick heel but can pull off looking near 5'10" there, if subtracting an inch from his height. Here's a short video of the two with Diana Ross in stiletto's: Click Here and a shot from it: Click Here. He had on Cuban heels in this event, so a solid 5'9" is probably the most reasonable based on that.
Something I have noticed is Michael's posture. It always seemed pretty loose rather than upright and erect and sometimes just plain awful. The photos with Donald Trump I posted a few months back, below display that very well I think. His height could certainly swing back and forth a bit, but I think a solid 175 cm range is more likely spot on than anything else.

Michael was 5"9 (175cm) barefoot, up to 5"10 (178cm) with shoes. Shoes throw off everyone's height. I'm 179cm but easily almost 6 feet tall in any pair of shoes.
Also his lanky 120 pound build makes him seem taller.

Rob, do you have a idea why everyone seems to think Michael was a clean 5'10 and sometimes above? He never looks above 5'9 to me if you pay attention to his shoes. He's definitely not a strong 5'9 but probably not as low 174 either. With Brando and his sister this is the most I can see him as.
Any idea why everyone seems to say he's 5'10 even when google lists him as 5 9?

I read somewhere that Michael Jackson was about 5 feet, 11 inches tall. He looks about an inch smaller than Princess Diana in photos, but there is no telling how high her heels were. I was going by their shoulders. I would say no less than 5 feet, 9 inches. He certainly had long legs.

One of his doctors said he was 93 pounds during his trial. Sure, he looked gaunt and seemed weak, but a six-foot-plus man at that weight would likely have been deemed unfit for a courtroom, and probably have fallen into a coma. I'm certain he was taller than Rob, though.

It's true that we can never conclude too much when footwear is unknown and it has been written Sinatra wore lifts, but I haven't seen too many examples of this compared to say, Dean Martin. Right now, I'm undecided personally on whether Michael was a 5'8" guy or 5'9" anyway having previously been convinced of 5'8". I don't actually believe he could be 5'7", so naturally we should assume Sinatra had more footwear if he looked at least as tall, or taller, although even if we assume Sinatra was still peak height and they were the same height that day, for Jackson to be 5'9", he'd have to be in his flatter dancing type shoes and Sinatra in 2" footwear. Entirely possible, though it's likely Sinatra was more a flat 5'7" by age 69 so that means he'd need footwear that adds 2.5", a little more doubtful, imo and naturally, you get into the 2.5"-3" if Sinatra was taller.

I definitely think he's far from a guy who needs an upgrade. Admittedly, one of the posts a while back did show he could look 5'9", but it's far from clear he was that tall, especially with the recent statement. There are still those puzzling comparisons like with Frank Sinatra who was never more than 5'7.5" to begin with and 69 years old. Video: Click Here (You see them with each other plenty of times from the 28 second mark until the end of the 45 second video A couple of photos: Click Here Click Here One thing is for sure, Michael wasn't standing taller than Frank during that meeting. There are also many photos of Michael with 5'6" George Lucas and he never looks more than a couple of inches taller, sometimes less. I believe it was only much later that Lucas started to wear big heels a lot. Though I don't know It's weird, you'd think Michael had a retractable spine! But I think Michael claimed 5'10" back in the 80s, so he's almost certainly not taller than that.

But I think Michael claimed 5'10" back in the 80s, so he's almost certainly not taller than that.

Rob, could be 173-174 for Michael? I'd put 174 for him these days
But yes Michael has skinny body with long legs and long arms and small a head
He has good proportions that makes him look taller than he really has

Editor Rob it's an estimate from someone who spent a fair amount of time, he thought 5ft 8ish....he's not going to be 2 inches off, but you could argue in late 40's Michael may not have stood as great as he did in his 20's.

I think he looks a lot taller in the "bad" videoclip (Click Here) probably because of his slender posture, but i'd say he's about 5'9. Mainly because of reference pictures.

Rob, here's a pretty odd medical report on Michael Jackson listing his height at 6ft!
Click Here (towards bottom of page): "Medical record from May 13, 2003: Height: 72 inches (6 feet) Weight: 140 lbs Allergy: Demerol Medications: Denied" and what makes it even stranger is all those 6ft estimates from some of those who'd met him, e.g: Stacy Brown who stated "he's 87 pounds and six foot tall" Click Here, Howard Stern, Pharrell Williams, Adam Curry (Click Here) etc.....was he the rubber-band man?

A lot of those pics are walking pics, which are bad for height comparisons. Check out the side by side pic indoors I posted of Jackson and Reagan below. Beginning of the video and then from 6:15 on Click Here Tough to tell because of ground level, but certainly 5'9" is the most I could see based on this. Michael and 5'10.5" Brooke Shields: Click Here Hopefully, someone has a better shot of Brooke's shoes, but I don't think she has any more than a low or more modest heel, but towers over Michael by nearly 4 inches.

I've always felt his childlike submissive act (high-pitched voice, shy etc...) could leave off a small impression, whereas his slim build and body proportions left off a tall impression. I believe he topped out somewhere between 5'9" and 5'9.5" in his younger years, though more realistically around the 5'9-9.25" area as that's what he generally looked, but its fascinating to me, because he could look much taller than he was in videos and concert footage!

Well done, I've been waiting for good comparisons where Michael looks at least 5'9" and he does throughout most of your pics. Although there are photos throughout the years where he looks shorter than that with Osmond. But Michael looks near 4" shorter than Reagan who was likely only 6' flat by this time, but did probably have at least a half inch shoe advantage, but Nancy was no more than 5'4", if not shorter so not above 5'6" in her low heels and Michael doesn't look much more than 3" taller to me : Click Here He could also look shorter than Cher, who at 5'6", certainly couldn't reach much more than 5'10" even in mega heels: Click Here But I'm leaning more towards 5'8.5" than 5'8" now

Yes, but again Murphy's shoes look flat with Jackson, there's no bulge and they're not boots. Meanwhile, Jackson has big heels near 2 inches so even if Murphy did sneak in lifts, that would just make his shoes similar to Michael's. It's quote the leap of faith to draw the conclusion Jackson is as tall or taller than Murphy. It's not just Murphy either. There's been no suggestions I'm aware of that 174 cm Michael Schumacher wears lifts.

Schumacher's official site only said he was 174 cm, which is why he's listed here at that height. I think the question should be whether Jackson is 5'8" or 5'9". Both the 5'9.5"-5'10" claims and 5'7" claims for him are impossible for me to believe.

I don't doubt Jackson is losing height with Schumacher, but he winds up looking at least an inch shorter and it doesn't look like Schumacher is pushing down there. I don't see Jackson stretching out above 5'8" there, but even if we're VERY generous and say he could be the same height, that's 5'8.5" and I do admit Jackson could've been that tall. Fair enough on Sly who could look 5'11", but while it's true Brando wore lifts by that point and Sinatra was said to as well, consider Brando was only 5'8.75" peak and very likely shorter when he was well into his 60s and obese and Sinatra was no more than 5'7.5" peak, very likely shorter by age 70. As for Murphy, that's a good point about Tyson, but Murphy's shoes look flat with Jackson while Jackson himself has heels. It's certainly hard to make the case Murphy has a footwear advantage there.

Based on the impression he gives, it's difficult to believe he'd be less than a slim 5'9" guy and I understand the taller guesses, but looking at the comparisons with other people, I believe he's 5'8" or at the most, 5'8.5".

I don't know if it's surprising or not...he sounds taller than he looks.

What's really bizarre is Howard Stern described meeting with Jackson in 1995 about plans for an interview (which didn't end up happening) and said in his book Miss America, "I'm sizing him up and I am surprised by how tall he is". He also said Jackson was wearing penny loafers!
Here's a long transcript from his book in relation to the above, Click Here
Furthermore, on his radio show he specifically said Jackson looked 6ft2 to him, and concluded that he (Jackson) was almost as tall as Stern himself (Stern's a legit 6ft5+)!! 😳 🤔

@jtm, Michael is only slightly closer to the camera in those photos, and Landis (in the first pic) is actually tilting his head up significantly higher than Michael's!
Michael was obviously somewhere in the 5ft9 range but it's hard to pinpoint exactly where. 5ft9.5 was passable for him at times I guess.

Considering that Rob himself met Landis, Click Here and thinks Landis may have hit 5'10.5" at peak, Jackson could look a solid to a strong 5'9" at the very least with Landis. Michael's posture could of course make him look shorter at times, whether that's dropping his weight on one leg, detracting his spine or slanting his neck and head downwards.
Michael wasn't much shorter than Landis

Michael's latest modelled wax figure at Madame Tussaud's was launched for display in Japan in 2010, and the stats that were given for it were 177 cm and 32 kg (of course this wasn't Michael's actual weight, but of the waxwork). 177 cm is between 5'9.5" and 5'10", and we must remember that Tussaud's do measure most of their portrayed celebrities in the museum, and Michael was amongst one of them.
Its specifically this figure the stats were given for,

@Johnson I agree with you, he certainly didn't look more than 5'9" with Schumacher, however i'm referring to his peak height, as it has been documented that Michael had been suffering from arthritis and other spinal problems in the last decade of his life. This most definitely would have taken a toll on his height.
On a side note, I remember Deborah Nadoolman described him at just 5'6" and 99 lbs, whereas Howard Stern described him at a whooping 6'2"!

Michael stated he was 5ft 9.5 in 1979 in a written interview with JET Magazine promoting his album Off the Wall. I think this explains why he'd sometimes claim 5'9", and other times 5'10".
I think his childlike persona can give that "little" impression that some get of him, which is probably why so many celebrities and journalists were surprised by his height when meeting him.

What a load of utter rubbish you get from the papers! I remember back in 2005, there were concerns for his health as he had lost an alarming amount of weight and some journalist was guessing at his weight and added '...which is very low considering he's a 6ft guy!'
Up until then, I had only read
that he was 5ft10, and I was fairly surprised at even that!
But 5ft9 on his driving licence?
What's the point of so much drivel? Bigging him up hardly made him a better singer and if he'd been 6ft for his type of reported weight (again variable but I did read 105!) I doubt if he'd have had the energy to dance!

It's weird that R. Kelly (who's 6'1) described Michael as a "tall avatar". Michael couldn't in any normal looking footwear look tall to a 6'1 guy unless the 6'1 guy had very low standards for what tall really means.

Anyone who has properly functioning vision could easily conclude that 5'9" and 157 lbs was an impossibility at any point in his life. He either weighed much less than that, or was significantly taller.

Michael's manager, Tohme stated he weighed Jackson at 157 pounds! This was apparently a day before his London announcement in 2009.
This information was published in the book Untitled: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson.
It was also reported he stood slightly under 5'10" and that his weight dropped to 130 from 157 within a month!

Thanks for the reply, Rob, but it perplexes me to this day why you didn't set up a straight-out-of-bed measurement during your meeting. Every time he was on the stadiometer it was at either undeniably at his very lowest point of the day, or there were unknown factors at play such as his immediate prior activities. He only claimed to be 5'8" in the morning, so why not get him then and eliminate any room for dispute? From your "Grapple" article, you made it abundantly clear that from the get go you had no intention of treating fairly and that the primary goal of your visit was to catch him in a lie. I believe that you didn't want Glenn on your site anymore irregardless of what his true height was, and did everything within your power to ensure he'd be as far from the 68 inch notch as possible. And needless to say, yes, I'm still friends with him. He's an amazing guy in my eyes, and I know many others would agree! :)
PS. I was basically just joking around in my last entry. Him returning is a non-issue, as far as I'm concerned...with everything that's been written and posted about him, I'm pretty positive he wants nothing to do with CH, even if you were to beg him.

Editor Rob I offered him a third chance to get an earlier measurement, but he never managed to return...though his second measurement was 1/3rd of an inch taller than the first, so he had some form of recuperation.
The primary goal was to show visitors his barefoot height, something many were curious about. He turned up of his own free will...seen me at my low height and I seen him at a couple of heights...the highest of which was still an inch away from 5ft 8.
I personally wouldn't claim 5ft 8 to people if I shrank under 5ft 7.
I think you need honesty in height, especially if you are a major part of a website which is comparing celebrity heights.
As for Michael's height, somewhere in 5ft 9-9.5 range is a common guess for him...

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME when that KnowItAll/Frank2 character insisted Michael was only 5'7"? I know opinions on height aren't always BLACK OR WHITE, but with such DANGEROUSly low estimates, I'm glad that contributor decided to BEAT IT. If the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office clocked The Gloved One in at 5'11", then I guess THIS IS IT. I'd personally be THRILLED if the master of measurements himself were allowed to post on this site again. I know some of his antics drove people OFF THE WALL, but he wasn't a BAD guy and will always be an important part of celebheights HISTORY. Hey, Glenn - I WANT YOU BACK!!!

people can change of course and I know folk from 6-7 years ago might have different attitudes or accept things differently.
You are still friends with G I presume, so how could a guy like Glenn ever return a changed man and either accept or go with 5ft 7, or simply avoid the topic of his own height completely and stick to posting and talking only about celebs heights...
I don't know if that could ever be done...it would though be the only way to avoid conflict/arguments and would need on my end, moderating completely any mentions about his height....not an easy task.

Jackson has stated both 5'9" and 5'10" throughout the 80s up until 2009. The 5'11" report on his mugshot isn't realistic since he was shorter than a 179 cm peak John Landis!
All those 6 foot plus reports are completely unrealistic! He never looked that tall. 5'10" at the most (most likely in the morning) and 5'9" ish at night.
Just because he looked tall by frame and build doesn't mean he actually was.

Jackson had his height written as 5'9" and weight 127 pounds on his psychical medical report back in February, 2009 (his last psychical while alive). This means he gained 9 pounds by the time he had his autopsy done!
