I worked as a "Cater Waiter" for Daniel Boulud's restaurant Daniel. I served at Martin Scorcese's grandchild's christening at his Upper East side townhouse near Bloomingdales in N.Y.C. I did serve Mr Deniro some wine & hors'doevres & he spoke to me about things. He was exactly my height, which is 172 cm/5'7 and a half

Today seems 171 cm I agree with this website. But when he was young a good 176/177cm barefoot is very possible too.

De Niro was still taller than 5'6" Bridget Fonda, who had big 3"+ wedge sandals in this scene in Jackie Brown: Click Here But looked more 5'8" range with 5'5"-5'5.5" Dustin Hoffman the year that film was released in 1997 at age 54: Click Here Click Here

5'9" peak is possible since he could look it if Keitel was 5'7.5" and I thought he could look at least that tall(albeit in boots) with Charles Grodin in Midnight Run. But I'm not completely sure. Certainly, De Niro looks 5'7.5" max these days, possibly only 171 cm and was already looking more 5'8"-5'8.5" range by his late 50s/early 60s as 176 cm Eddie Murphy was clearly taller in Showtime(2002), 5'8" Mark Wahlberg looked similar at Tribeca in 2003 and 5'9" Philip Seymour Hoffman was clearly taller in 1999, but Michael Douglas has followed the same path as he also looks down to about 5'7.5" today and was no more than 5'8.5" by his late 50s/early 60s and I'm pretty sure he was 5'9" peak, so not impossible, but looking at earlier pics, I'm not ruling out 5'8.5" peak either. Unfortunately, there aren't many good full pics of De Niro, pre-1995.
Looks closer to 5'8" here with 6 foot Nick Nolte and other pics from the premiere: Click Here
Tony Curtis is given a peak of 5'8.75" here and an aged Curtis could still look taller than De Niro: Click Here
Strangely, De Niro looked shorter in the entire series of photos from this premiere with 5'8" Sean Penn: Click Here
Doesn't look any taller here than Rob did with 5'10" range Tom Sizemore: Click Here
Not much taller than 5'5.5"-5'6" Al Pacino in these pics: Click Here Click Here
Dwarfed by 6'2.5" Ted Danson: Click Here
I remember Frank2 mentioning The Last Tycoon to support his argument that De Niro was never taller than 5'8" peak. That's one of the few 70s De Niro movies I haven't seen, so can anyone confirm how tall he looked in it? As of now for his peak height, I think 5'8.5" minimum and 5'9" max. How long did De Niro's peak height last? Through Casino and Heat in 1995? Cop Land and Jackie Brown in 1997?

Coppola who was once at least a couple inches taller than De Niro looks about the same height, which means I believe he's lost at least 3 inches.

He looked at the movies 177cm , but I think 175cm is his right height when he was young.
175 cm in peak.
Around 172cm today.

4 cm of height loss are many, although he mistreated a little his body.
Maybe 3 cm.... He doesn't have a good posture, so I don't believe he's less thank 171 cm. Peak? A weak 175 cm in my opinion.

This guy was never 5'9". He looked only a few inches taller than Joe P did in casino. I'd say his list of 5'7 and change is accurate maybe a solid 5'8 tops

I don't think 5'8" Cybill Shepherd's heels in Taxi Driver were that much bigger than De Niro's cowboy boots and they generally looked similar in height. I even remember her looking taller in one wide shot, although it was outside, so pavement could make a difference.

Seems equally possible to me he was never taller than say 5'8.5", especially seeing him drop so noticeably into the 5'7" range.

I met him while bartending and he's 5'7 flat. Keep in mind that he had extremely poor posture so he might be a half inch taller if upright.

Editor Rob Pierric, I watched it not that long ago and he could look over 5 inches taller than Pesci, who I believe is a guy that is far more likely to wear thick heels, so comfortably in 5ft 8-9 zone.

5'5". Little Bob was a promising actor before he wrecked himself. Hasn't been relevant since the 70s.
You wrecked yourself with that comment. And you will NEVER be relevant. I guess Pacino was never over 5'2", right?

I have 18 of Robert's films from varying decades, so I don't agree with DJT that he hasn't been relevant since the 70's!
How about 'Cape Fear', 'Sleepers', 'Casino' and 'Heat'? They weren't from the 70's and they're all terrific!
I believe Robert has his own restaurant to keep himself occupied while he isn't acting!
To me, he is one of the best - on par with his friend Al Pacino.

I am 73 years old. The lost height estimated by some of these statements is ridiculous. De Niro was never 5 feet 8 inches to start with. His height was probably no more than 5ft. 6in. max. and he may have lost 1/2 inch to be that height now. I was 5ft. 9 inches when I was 25 and I am 5ft. 8 1/2 inches now...To lose 2-3 inches in height you are much older than 70 something......Kirk Douglas was listed as 5ft. 9inches in his prime. He is 100 years old now and stands about 5ft. 6 inches so De Niro never was in taller than 5feet 6 1/2 I would say..........

According to the picture you posting on your net on which Al Pasino is standing shoulder by shoulder with Robert; they got a merely 2 cm difference and I suppose they both wore normal shoes without lifters, if Al is 166 cm, then Robert De niro should not over 170 cm; may be i am wrong...

I honestly believe he was a strong 5'9" at least at his peak. You could just tell he was an average height in his older movies. But today he is even struggling with 5'7". If you see him with Anne Hathaway(both in flat shoes) who is supposed to be around 5'7" she appears taller. Is it possible that De Niro has lost more than 2 inches of height? Or is Hathaway taller than we think?

I think this listing is fair. He does look 5'7.5". However, if he is 5'7.5", then that leads me to believe that Zac Efron is at least 5'9.5". I've seen the two together multiple times (even in similar footwear) and Zac looked like 2 inches taller.

Sometime in the 70s I attended a party with a friend who was connected to the film industry. It was held in a NY Hotel. Robert De Niro was talking with two other men. All three men were short and extremely well dress, casually dressed, but perfectly fitted clothes. De Niro was wearing, if I remember correctly, a leather jacket, and I noticed it because it seemed to have been custom made, as it fit him perfectly for a short man. A normal sized jacket would have been too long on him. I talked to De Niro for a moment and looked him eye to eye. I am 5' 2" and was wearing high heels, the most they could have been were three inch high heels, (which I doubt they were actually that high.) De Niro was not much taller than me...I would say only by an inch. He is a very short man. In fact, I have never dated a man as short as De Niro. Movies create illusions, using many tricks to make male stars appear taller than they are, including their co-stars wearing flat shoes. Believe me, Robert De Niro is much shorter than the average man. I think it is a joke that it's claimed De Niro is of average height...no way at all.

Devin in Taxi Driver he wore these monster size cowboy boots throughout the movie. at the end of the movie he is standing beside 5 ft 7 Harvey Keitel and they looked the exact same height and Harvey was wearing big heeled boots too. Robert De Niro was without footwear 5 ft 6.5 inches in the 1970's.Today Robert De Niro is more likely to be 5 ft 5 inches.and that goes for Harvey too. While these 2 guys are making movies no one will ever see their true height as who they are because most Short Celebrities wear shoe lifts and shoe lifts can give a person up to 5 inches in height. Robert's 5 ft 10 listing everywhere is laughable. Everyone in this blog says Robert De Niro looks 5 ft 7. So if the man looks 5 ft 7 wouldn't that mean he is 5 ft 6 without shoes? I myself live in Canada and i stand 5 ft 9.5 inches. I look in the mirror and in flat feet i look like a giant. When i go out i tower over 98% of males and all i wear are plain running shoes. People calling Tom Cruise a short 5 ft 7 if they only knew Tom was actually 5 ft 4 inches flat feet. Got to love Hollywood.

The Last Tycoon is a bit flat, it's not a "great" film but it's certainly not a bad film. Compared to similar themed greats like Barton Fink and Trumbo it falls short, but it's never the disaster that some critics make out!

@Rob, don't know if you've seen the Last Tycoon but it's an interesting one as Jack Nicholson looks an easy inch taller than De Niro, makes him look 5 ft 8 range in it. But then DeNiro looks an easy inch taller than Tony Curtis earlier in the film!! So basically if Jack Nicholson was 5'9.5 we've got De Niro at 5'8.5 and Curtis at 5'7.5". Doesn't add up! It's a really underrated film, well we know Elia Kazan was a master director but its never as bad as the critics make out!!

I think Efron might have had a boost in his shoes in Diry Grandpa just so he'd look comfortably taller than De Niro. A small lift for Efron looks possible Click Here

Editor Rob the last 3-4 years I think he began to look like he lost another cm. I think in SLPlaybook he could still pass for about 5ft 8.

DeNiro has clearly lost height, was definitely a strong 5'9" during the 70's but is closer to 5'8" these days, maybe a little shorter than that....

@Rob, there's absolutely no way he's the same height as Efton. In Dirty Grandpa he could look as low as 5'6.5 at times. In other scenes they looked close. Perhaps you'd consider 5'7.5 now?

Editor Rob he can look 5ft 7-7.5 a fair bit this year, he probably has dropped a bit more height and at age 72 looks shorter than how he looked maybe 3-4 years ago.

He's either lost a lot of height with age or he was never as tall as we thought he was. He looked dwarfted by Zack Efron who is something like 5'8"

Waltz is a selfconfessed 170cm. In these pics he looks as tall as DeNiro and taller than Keitel. We know that DeNiro is an inch taller than Keitel. Maybe DeNiro was only 5ft8.5 and Keitel 5ft7.5 in their youth. Unless both of them have lost more than an inch.

Pesci looked 5'4 at peak or very close to it and DeNiro is at least 5 inches taller in Raging Bull so I think DeNiro was at least 5'9 at peak. My guess is 5'9.5 morning and a solid 5'9.25 5'9 throughout the day at peak.

Yeah I always thought of De Niro as a "strong average" when it comes to height. You know, 5'9" in his heyday, perhaps even a strong 5'9". Not 5'10" though. Today he may be a little bit shorter, like 5'8".

I'm shocked at the amount of people that think De Niro was 5'10, He looks small to me, look at pictures of him with Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio, he looks real short. I know he has shrunk, though in his prime he looks short to me also. In Taxi Driver there is a scene where he lays flat on a bed, and from a birds eye view camera shot you can he is short and his legs look especially short and you see the large heel on his cowboy boots. Also looks short in Cape Fear. I think 5'7.5 now and 5'8.5 peak he was a skinny guy in his prime which is why people think he was taller, perhaps the illusion of a thin build and the larger footwear made him look taller to some people.

At least 5'9 peak. He towered over Pesci in Raging Bull who looked close to 5'4 in that film. He honestly looks close to 5'10 in Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and Deer Hunter. I think he was minimum 176 cm in his prime and I think 5'9.5 is a possibility. Woods who was at least 5'11 peak doesn't look more than 2 inches taller in Once Upon a Time in America and they were both in their 30s in that movie.

Hi Rob, check this out from "Dirty Grandpa" :

and check efron' shoes as well :

or De Niro shrank a lot in his age and he is more in the 169-170 now; or Zac grew a lot: he appears at least 178 if De Niro is 173 as listed on here.

I agree he can look 5'7" these days but his posture can be truly horrendous & it can make him seem even lower. I think there's enough evidence of him hitting a flat 5'9" at peak.

He's 5'7 flat. I saw him in person in 2011 along with Sam Jackson and Spike Lee. De Niro has very bad posture and looked only an inch taller than the 5'5 and a half Spike Lee. I give him an extra half inch for poor posture.

DeNiro's peak height may well have been a strong 5'9", he was just slightly shorter than John Cazale who was billed as 5'11" so i reckon during his peak he was a very strong 5'9"

Editor Rob there's a magical niche in celebrity circles - the 'non obvious lift wearer', the kind who wears a 1/2 or 3/4 inch lift for a wee boost...spotting it is very hard though.

172 cm now, 175 cm 20-25 years ago is likely. Still looked near 175 cm in 'Goodfellas' in 1990 and 10 years later around 'Meet the Parents' is when I think he started to shrink. In the next 10-15 years he could be 170 if he keeps up the slouching, not that it's easy to fix that now.

Anyone see 'Alan Davies untitled' with guest Ricky Tomlinson. He told an interesting story about meeting Robert de Niro in a club, not knowing who he was at the time, and remarked ' a little fella sitting in the corner' and even added, 'I'm only 5'8 and half myself', suggesting that Robert was indeed shorter than Ricky tomlinson, and this was apparently in his younger days.

5' 9" peak, 5'7.5 now. He's never been anything over 5'9 in his life, his wiry build in his younger years and his narrow shoulders might of gave that impression but when he hit his mid forties it became easier to make out his legit height. Slightly under average.

In some photos with Stallone who is a well known lift wearer, he looks a bit shorter. My most educated guess is that Stallone is 5'7" and nothing more, so I would guess all of Stallone's height advantage comes from his lifts, so De Niro is probably not taller than 5'7" in real life. Regardless of his height, he is an incredible actor.

Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Godfather Part II and Goodfellas are all all-time greatest movies so I'm not going to dispute those in any order in your top five, but I can't see King of Comedy of a superior film to Once Upon a Time in America. Perhaps it was a greater performance in that film, even if he was frankly a bit irritating at times!!

Well, this makes sense, in fact with stallone on the big match he was clearly shorter. I can buy that for him even though in the picture above he's wearing elevator shoes and you can tell it by the neck of the shoe. One thing's certain he can't be less than 5'7.

@Rob/Armenianboy, Nah, Once Upon a Time in America wins it hands down as his best film, a marvellous piece of cinema. Even Scorsese said something like it made him look like a amateur. Technical accomplishments of Lord of the Rings trilogy aside, that film has my vote for greatest film (currently) anyway. His best performance for me was Raging Bull, the emotions he displayed in that film. Taxi Driver is also right up there with his greatest films and performances. Obviously a lot of his films from Mean Streets onwards have been masterpieces though, and Goodfellas, Godfather II and Casino are also among my favourites. Also his performances in films like Awakenings were also incredible... All I know is that it wasn't Falling in Love :-) you put the two greatest actors on earth together (De Niro and Streep) and you get a mediocre romance!!

Here's De Niro with Francis Ford Coppola, for whom I read somewhere (can't remember where) a credit of six feet tall but looked at most 5'11" with the cast of the first Godfather (Jimmy Caan, presumably in lifts, looked a little taller & John Cazale similar range). Anyway, De Niro definitely seems 5'9" tops w/ Coppola.

He has terrible posture at premiere and stuff recently that can make him seem shorter. However, with Ben Stiller, its hard to see him anything more than an inch taller. Maybe time for a 5'7.5" current height listing?

Is he really 5 ft 9? At the Oscars he presented with Penelope Cruz and she (who is 5 ft 4) towered over him. Even with really tall heels on that seems unlikely. Now he's co-starring with Anne Hathaway (supposedly 5 ft 7) and she towers over him too. I figure he's 5 ft 6 max.

In Taxi Driver he gave off the impression of seeming taller, but I think he was wearing boots. Strong 5'9 in his peak. He could probably reach 5'10 with the right pair of shoes

Always wondered what De Niro's maximum height was. I think it could be as high as 177cm but today he looks at least 172cm. The man is a true living legend and method actor who took acting to a new level. Loved Goodfellas probably one of my favourite films and definiteley De Niro's best performance.

I just saw the majority of Mad Dog and Glory for the first time in decades on TV. They did a really masterful job minimizing the difference between De Niro and Thurman on-screen. A lot of nice camera trickery and in several scenes, he's wearing shoes and she's barefoot, anyway he looks max 1 inch shorter generally. Also Bill Murray doesn't tower him there, 3 or max 4 inches difference, and about 3 under David Caruso, so De Niro really does look a strong 5'9" there...don't know about lifts. God, Uma was gorgeous, De Niro was a lucky **** if the rumors are true that they had an off-screen tryst. Also, Caruso was pretty good there, too bad he cocked things up career-wise.

Based on all the pictures, I think at his peak, DeNiro was 174cm--he always seemed just shy of 5-9. Now, he looks like a weak 5-8, probably 172cm.

I'm convinced that De Niro peaked right near 5'9". In Taxi Driver, I truly disbelieve that he wore lifts, although his boots are generous perhaps up to 1.5 inches, which is why he looks a strong 5'10" at times in that film. These days, he slouches a lot, I think it's fair to say he generally looks 5'8" but then at times lucky to be 5'7". You have to account that, beyond age, he slouches like a man who doesn't care about looking tall.

He and Sly Stallone look pretty close in height in their upcoming boxing movie together. Also in the shot, Jon Bernthal, easily looking around the same amount over De Niro and Stallone that he looks over Rob. BTW, 80-something Alan Arkin is on hand and looks similar to or slightly taller than the slightly younger stars. At least Kevin Hart is on hand to show how towering they all are. :=)

It turns out,he was the same height as me!!! After 30 your spine starts to compress so I'm probably 5'8" now makes sense if he is =)

Sam, thanks for the photos. I didn't realize how huge Chazz Palminteri is - he dominates those guys. I happen to be the exact same height as Palminteri - 6'3" in the morning, 6'2.5" most of the day - and based on that, I can't see De Niro being much under 5'7", or any taller than 5'8". Anything shorter and his head would be below Palminteri's shoulder.

5'7/5'8 sounds right, I think he shrank over the year. He is getting older, anyhow...just watched Red Lights, he is clearly shorter than Cillian Murphy ( whos listed at 5'8 here, but 5'9 in every other sites)

Around 5' 9" at peak, but gave a 5' 7" - 5' 8" impression at a glance when he was younger due to his meek build. In Taxi Driver, he looked really really thin -- weight probably around 135-140. However, he was about even with Cybill Shepherd and that surprised me. He wasn't well-built and tall-looking like Brandooo. He was more like Michael Jackson.
Look guys. He's clearly quite a bit taller than 5' 7" Bob Dylan:

I think he was 5' 9" peak, yes. Today he looks 5' 7.5" though. The fact he was 5' 9" peak pretty much proves Stallone wasn't over 5' 7.5" peak, because De Niro was noteably the taller of the two.

I worked as an extra for several days on A Bronx Tale in the Fall of 1992. I was in close proximity to Mr. De Niro a number of times and at one point we stood side by side. I'd say he was 5'9 at that point. I don't remember anything about his shoes but nothing about them struck me as having lifts. He wasn't acting in any of the scenes, just directing, so there'd be no reason from an acting standpoint for him to wear lifts.

He is 5 foot 8. Clearly taller than al pacino by a couple of inches. Clearly taller than ben stiller and dustin hoffman. In show time he was shorter than 176cm eddie murphy. He definitive wore lifts in goodfellas to look tall next to 6 foot ray liotta.

rob looked 5ft8-9 in midnight run I dont think he was wearing lifts I think he was minimum 5ft 8. if you guys remember I used to say onscreen guys were 4-10 inches smaller it is actually confusing cause they dont look anything like their height in real life and Im not talking about when their sometimes under their height Im talking in general their body looks different the TV doesent appreciate the height they are in real life for instance if you saw with just yr eyes and not through TV then you'll see they're taller and bigger.

I met Robert De Niro around 1978 thereabouts. Warren Beatty gave a party for his film REDS for the staff of Gulf & Western/Paramount in NYC. I was 5'2" wearing not quite 3" heels. I was shocked...De Niro is Short! Very Short. I would say about 5'7" tops. He was wearing a leather jacked that was obviously custom made. I noticed it because is was so short. In perportion to his short statue. He must definitly wears lifts in film. I am surprised that he even got an opportunity to get in films, being so short. There must be a lot of trick photography happening in his films. Sorta like Alan Ladd.

I don't think DeNiro was ever over 5'8''. He probably wore lifts in some films. He seems like he would, especially for roles, as he is a true method actor. Christopher Walken, who was an even 6 feet, looked at least four inches taller than him in 'The Deer Hunter,' so did Charles Grodin in 'Midnight Run.'
Walken was at least 6'0.5"-6'1" in his younger days.

In Goodfellas he looks 5'10'' next to Ray Liotta's 5'11.5'' frame, and he is even almost eye to eye with him in a few bar scenes. Yet at the recent Spike TV Man awards they were both on stage side by side and Liotta looked 5 inches taller, and De Niro had shoes on too. It's called LIFTS. He used a lot of them in his older movies. I'd say he is the same height as Mark Wahlberg (5'7.5'' - 5'8'', though due to his lean thin frame (older movies) and lifts he appears taller.

De Niro looked a solid 5'9 in GF II and looked 5'9 in Raging Bull. He was slightly taller than Cathy Moriarty who was 5'8.5 minimum. I agree with Jake I think he was slightly over 5'9 at peak and is today about 5'8.

There is so much nonsense on the internet. For example, the above (presumably), statement that lifts made him taller: what is a rumour? - essentially nothing; fundamentally though, if he did wear them they did not make him taller, but they would have made him look taller!; lastly, correct grammar please? (exasperation) - "to make himSELF taller". I do despair for the human race, in some quarters of the globe more than others I might add!
I couldn't stand the irony of THIS paragraph telling someone to correct grammar.

Busted??? A 5'11" woman in high heels can be 6'3"... 6'3" minus 6" is 5'9" which is what your logic states Deniro was at in shoes, which would put him at 5'8" barefoot. How is that busted??? Even if the heels only gave her 3" and put her up to only 6'2", Deniro barefoot would still be 5'7", which is accurate his his height today...
