I didn't realise he was this tall!! Nick Cave had a similar sort of build and look, I would have thought they were about the same height. Nick could give the illusion of 6'4 too. His wife is very beautiful!

Decent 6ft4 peak

6'4 seems about right. Rick Ocasek was tall and his slim build can make him appear even taller if you ask me.

I just watched the video to his song โ€˜Magicโ€™. Loads of people were touching him! Iโ€™d have liked to touch him too, but I never got the opportunity. However, I did touch all three members of the group Budgie!!

He was a gorgeous geezer, 1984here, and he seemed more pensive than the type to worry about his height! Leave that to me - Iโ€™m down to 5ft, with a spinal condition, but at least Iโ€™m alive. Poor Ric died from a heart condition, heart disease if I remember rightly.

I think his nature was reflected in the songs he wrote and co-wrote.

Looked more 6-3 to me. Maybe a bit over.

@ Hamburger Eater - Yet another autograph Ric could have got away with! ๐Ÿ”

I thought Rob finally added Marky Ramone for a second.

Really, really tall looking 6-4 with how skinny he was

โญ๏ธ Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and David Bowie - in no uncertain terms! - became actors, and I think Ric Ocasek would have made a BLINDING actor himself. Oh yes, Roger Daltrey took
to acting like a duck to the splashy stuff; once you stand onstage and perform in front of ginormous crowds, acting is all too often a natural progression.

Ric would have made an extra, extra huge Alice! ๐Ÿ

@ Rob and Jackie - How incredibly funny! Ric must have had a great sense of humour. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

His quote was: "Yeah, I could play Howard Stern or maybe Alice Cooper. That's who people think I am on the street. I sign autographs as Howard Stern and Alice Cooper. Whatever people want."

I thought this guy was howard stern for a moment
Editor Rob
He once said he used to sign autographs for folk who thought he was Stern!

Wow what a tall couple, sheโ€™s pretty to look at too, they probly had behemoths for children. Haha, lastnight I shรฎt you not rob I saw about 5 women in the 6โ€™1-6โ€™4 catergory I thought I was in Asgard or Olympus

Is he probably down to nearly 6'3 when aged?
Editor Rob
It's likely he lost at least that.

Finding that this great and gorgeous guy has a page made my week. Iโ€™ve been playing The Cars frequently ever since; my, they were a great band, who formed back in 1976., in Boston, USA.

I remember them performing โ€˜Driveโ€™ at the Live Aid concert back in the Summer of 1985. The official video for this song is well worth checking out. At the end, you see all the members of the band standing perfectly still, so taking in their heights is easy. They were rather a tall band.

I gave Ric 6ft4. He did say so, after all! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
