No way is Stallone under 5'7". He is at least a 5'8" minimum.
Will said on 1/Sep/12
Stallone stands 5'8". Whatever. End of story.

Sly looks an inch taller than DeNiro and is about 2 inches shorter than Liotta in CopLand, so 5'9 sounds right.

I remember that his ex wife, Nielsen, says he's 175 cm. Got it from a commentor not too long ago
RisingForce said on 31/Aug/12
Yeah, there's no doubt he's put lifts in those shoes, Zach. Either that, or he had them made with lifts in them. Those are definitely shoes he wore quite a bit around Rocky Balboa and Rambo when he looked his tallest and seemed to never go without lifts. The question is what are the biggest lifts that will fit in Hogan shoes.

I'm surprised at how tall he looks there with Couture. He hasn't really looked as tall as he did 4+ years ago recently, but there he looks as tall as ever. I do have some doubts about Couture being 6'0", Sly seems to generally not look that much shorter than him even in normal looking shoes. He looks a bit taller in that picture actually, though it could be the angle or some illusion.

Danimal, when did Sly's ex wife say he was 5'8"? There was a German video posted where I think Briggite Nielsen said 174-175 cm (5'8.5"-5'9") and an 80's video where she said 5'10"-5'10.5", but I've never seen her say 5'8" flat.

@Vegas

Yeah 1993, he had lost height by then. 1993-1995 he was looking 6'2.5", see him next to Arnie and others. But he was around 6'4" peak. Hogan said Stallone was 5 ft 8 I think.

So did his ex wife say he was 5'8".

@Shredder and Vegas

Google image Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland. Sutherland (6'3.5 peak) had an easy 2 inches on Connery and Eastwood still edged out Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes.. And 6 ft 2 full is still believable for Connery. To think Eastwood only had half an inch on Connery is wrong, sorry.

6'2.5" peak for Clint Eastwood? I don't see a chance of that. Maybe by the late 80's/early 90's. I could swear he was a bit shorter than Liam Neeson in the Dead Pool, but he was already close to 60 and seeing how much height he had dropped by his 70's. I don't think late 80's/early 90's Clint is representative of how tall he was in the 60's and 70's.

Eastwood was 6'4", anybody on his height page who has looked into it long enough agree, even the ex 6'2" believers. Taller than Donald Sutherland, an inch shorter than Rock Hudson in his 1956 film. In E F Alcatraz in 79 he still looked 6'4" next to his costars. He was about an inch shorter than Neeson by 88 and had begun losing height I think.

1992 "Passenger 57" premier with 5'9" listed Wesley Snipes. Either Wesley is trying out a pair of NYC sandals, or Sly forgot his.

Listed here. Snipes is MAX 5'8".

stallone is superb and looks like a little bit of mukesh khanna.
Zach said on 29/Aug/12
Couldnt see any mention of how much actual height they gave. Here's a pair Stallone actually wore and was auctioned off: Click Here allegedly anyway. I thought Stallone was getting super secret custom elevator footwear made but very surprised to see that he's apparently wearing footwear available to the public, albeit on the expensive side.

He must still stuff extra lifts in them or something, cos the heights he reaches with them on can at times be staggering: Click Here

Those hogan shoes could give 1.4-1.5 in or 1.6-1.7 if they a 3-4mm insole

Zach, does it say anywhere on the page how much height those are supposed to give? I couldn't see any claims about how much height they give in the description, but I'd agree that those look identical to shoes Sly was wearing out around Rocky Balboa/Rambo and a few times more recently.
Zach said on 28/Aug/12
Rob - are these Stallone's munsters? Click Here They look identical. Would be a worthwhile addition to your elevator shoes review page, and to finally find out how much height they actually give...
Editor Rob
they are the kind of sneakers Stallone would approve of, he's worn Hogan ones before, they look expensive for your average joe though.
Dmeyer said on 28/Aug/12
Rob do you think sly will manage to drop just 1cm by 70
Editor Rob
it could depend on how much punishment his back has taken, he's still doing remarkably well at his age managing to make physical action movies...

today...he's fighting it, he's going to try not to lose height, but maybe as he gets near 70 the fight will be lost.

Looool, Chuck can be 8 foot if he wants!
Dmeyer said on 27/Aug/12
To me sly today when in normal dress shoes looks 5'8.5-9 in range when in his elevator sneakers that to me give nô more than 2.5 hé looks 5'10-10.5 range and through the whole ex2 film hé looks 5'9.75 in range like 1-2cm on statham and just 1 in under 5'11 Willis in some pics you CAN see his boots they look in the 1.3 in range and considering his foot pose hé might have just 1 in lift , i am sure on many occasion sly wears 1 in lifts inside hogan shoe type or thick boots wish give him 2.2-2.3 in on rare occasion hé might have shoes that give 2.75 ,
Vegas said on 26/Aug/12
eastwood looking no more than 6'2 in those shots from 1993 if stone is his listed 6ft, eastwood also looked 6'2 range with magic johnson in 1989 and on carson circa 1990
RisingForce said on 26/Aug/12
I didn't say either was a good picture, in fact I said the opposite. But the second one is better because there isn't the massive camera advantage. I said about 2 inches because Snipes eye level seems to be about at Sly's nose.
runt said on 26/Aug/12
@Risingforce

Where are you getting 2"? And sly's pose is not good for comparison in that second pic.
jtm said on 26/Aug/12
that's interesting norris was taller than syl. there was actually someone who claimed to met norris and he said norris told him he was 5'7. look for is syl stallone 5'7 tall thread and you will see what i mean but he was probably lying.
RisingForce said on 26/Aug/12
Runt, Wesley isn't really looking taller than Sly there even with a significant camera advantage. Look at the other picture on the page where the camera advantage isn't distorting things as much. Click Here

Sly looks to have him by a good 2 inches in that second pic. Doesn't mean he was, neither of these pictures are ideal. They're probably around the same height, but there's a good chance Sly was standing taller that night because he usually worse cowboy boots in the early 90's.
the shredder said on 26/Aug/12
Rob , what kind of shoes does he have and how much do they add ?

Click Here
Editor Rob
from that angle hard to say, they don't look huge or anything
RisingForce said on 25/Aug/12
Thanks, Zach, I'll try to find it. Planning on seeing the Expendables 2 ASAP and Chuck looking taller than Sly would definitely surprise me. Although they apparently both went to that DiFabrizio guy for lifts.

Haven't found any good premiere videos, though I haven't looked in about a weak. But these full body shots are pretty interesting to me. Several variables in all of them, mostly a tilt.
Click Here

Sly is no taller than Statham(listed 5'9" here), perhaps a hair shorter, but I see a max of 5 inches between Sly and Lundgren(listed 6'3.5" here, but I Guess 6'3") and also imo, between 2 and 3 inches shorter than Arnie.

Decent pics of Arnie and Sly.
Click Here
Click Here

Arnold's shoes actually seem to have bigger heels to me, and I see just 2-3 inches between them. So what's the verdict? Dolph and Arnold being shorter than 6'3" and 6'0", Statham being taller than 5'9" or these pictures just being deceptive?

@Zach:
That's happened probably because Chuck Norris chooses the height he wishes to be.
Brad said on 25/Aug/12
Norris taller than Sly '11? 5' 8" flat in '11 filming. That reporter cut scene in Rocky shot has always been a fave. Take a look at all the 5' 6" and less behind Rocky, "put some small guys behind me". Got caught with Weathers there.
the shredder said on 25/Aug/12
I think strong 5'9 range peak
ANDREA[ITA] said on 25/Aug/12
How did he look 5'8, if he's supposed to be 5'9 with great posture and lifts on even when he sleeps?
Zach said on 24/Aug/12
@RF - if you go to torrent and type in Leno Stallone you can download the whole episode. The YouTube versions that I watched left out the meet and greet parts anyway.

Tuite - I watched ExII yesterday and was also shocked that 70-something Chuck Norris looked taller than Stallone.
Larc-186.7cm-188.6cm said on 24/Aug/12
He looked a fraction taller than Kurt Russell also in that shower scene in Tango and Cash, and they were both barefoot.
What do you think Rob, is 5'9.25 possible for his peak?
Editor Rob
i might dig out t&c, I have a house full of movies, in a disorganised fashion...so I end up with multiple copies because of this!

Rob, check these photos out, not sure if you have seen them but if so do they make you suspicious about slys height? I highly doubt Weathers is wearing any kind of elevated shoe here. Click Here

Editor Rob
I hope G put that money down on his tax return! It certainly wasn't a gift in kind...
RisingForce said on 23/Aug/12
Good find, Zach, I stand corrected. The difference in those stills seems to large for them to have been similar in height that night, in the stills, it looks like it's over 2 inches. The high angle and far shot at the end as well as possibly Leno's posture must have fooled me because I was thinking there was no more than an inch difference between them. Though admittedly, I was sitting back in my chair, and not wearing my contact lenses.

Unfortunately, I went to look at the entire video on youtube, and both uploaders who posted it had their videos removed.

As far as footwear, the heel is fairly big, my best guess is 1.25", but they are dress shoes and the ankle position does look normal, though admittedly, I'm not that confident on judging if someone is wearing lifts or not by that.
RisingForce said on 23/Aug/12
Yeah, it's terrible for someone to lose their life as young as Sage. And losing a kid like Sly and his ex wide Sasha did is about as terrible of a thing as anything.
the shredder said on 23/Aug/12
I wonder what Rob would have list him if he knew about the 5'10.75 when he made the site ?
Zach said on 23/Aug/12
Nah you're too intelligent to be fooled Rob. This guy has a first class degree in computing. But it was fun times back then with alleged actors and G-man posting here.

the shredder said on 23/Aug/12
Rob , how came you did not list him 5'10 years ago ? ( Not saying he is ) But I remember you thinking he was
Editor Rob
no doubt he could look 5ft 10 at times
Zach said on 23/Aug/12
Rob, your memory plays games with you! Lol. In 2004 Sly was listed as flat 5'8 here. Then few months later he was put up to 5'8.5. Then in 2005 a mysterious fraudster popped up on here claiming he worked on the Avenging Angelo set with Sly and that he'd measured Sly as 5'10. At this point Slys listing here went up to 5'9.75. Once Rob clocked on the guy was a hoax Sly's listing went back down to 5'9 in late 2005/early 2006 where's it's stayed ever since. Ring any bells Rob? :)

And yes Brad, some of us have been here since before 2006. "WHERE WARR Y'ALL IN 06??!!" he cries out regardless...
Editor Rob
I knew I had him 5ft 8.5 but the more I saw the more 5ft 9 was believable.

you really thought back then I was believing the who emails me using one name and has the same ip as a poster on the site but who is claiming to be a famous Italian? It is an entertainment site after all, sometimes having a bit of entertainment with a page like the odd listing change to above 5ft 9 for 1 week was fine ;)
Dmeyer said on 23/Aug/12

At Zach , He lost height as he is looking barely 5'9 with Leno ... He does have decent heels on those shoes , if you look at his placement he does not have lifts indside these shoes . He would measure under 5'10 in those shoes so now he is under 5'9 barefoot .

RisingForce said on 19/Aug/12
Looking at Expendables premiere pictures, his height varies too much for me to draw a conclusion on what he appears there which is why I've kind of given up on pictures. He looks about average there in dress shoes, but who knows what he has inside the dress shoes?

I did see Sly on Leno the other day. I turned on the interview when it was in progress so I didn't see the greeting at the beginning which is usually the best height comparison. But after they interview, they looked similar height, harder to tell since I think it was a higher angle and a farther shot, though. From what I remember he appeared to have dress shoes on, but again without x-ray vision that still leaves a question.

I do often get the impression that Sly has lost a half inch to an inch, but I'm not sure how much that has to do with him seeing him to alternate between dress shoes and his trademark elevators in the Expendables era, while from probably 2004-2008, I don't think I saw him in dress shoes once. But at 66, a bit of a height loss is very likely, not a guarantee, though. Personally, I still don't think he's as low as a flat 5'8" at anytime of day.
jtm said on 19/Aug/12
no way he was only 2 inches shorter than ray liotta and liotta was the same height as sigourney weaver.

Barefoot on the boat and his 5' 10" turns into laughing gas. He's nowhere over 5' 8" there. Look at those short legs and barrel top. He's in custom built up shoes at any press event, count on it.
Danimal said on 15/Aug/12
People who claim he is 5'9" at 65 years old are just amazing. He was shorter than his 5'9" wife who had on sandals and he had on dress shoes and he was also closer to the camera. Why can't you people accept that? Do you want/need him to be taller for some reason? Accept the fact that he is not 5'9" and has never been that tall in his life (never over 5'8.5"). Today he is struggling with a flat 5'8" at best. I'm not saying this because I WANT him to be shorter, or that I dislike him. In fact, he was my hero (in Rocky) for years. I'm just unbiased and am being realistic.

Looking at the Expendables 2 publicity pics in different countries Rob's got these heights nailed on. Statham,Stallone and Van Damme all look very similar in height. I've looked at dozens in different footwear and I can't see much between them.

I couldn't access Leonari's pics but presume they were from the London premier? Slys shoes looked low cut and entirely normal.

Rob on Getty images sly CAN look as tall as Randy couture in full body shoes , sly has sneakers that give Max 2.3 in , that means hé could still be 5'9 to pull that off , a 5'9 With better posture and footwear could do that not 5'8 , if you paid attention arnie wears solid footwear and stand well near stallone so hé has almost nô disadvantage , if sly has great footwear and posture while arnie has normal 1 inches and poor posture the will look very close a friend of mine who me both told me sly looked 5'10.5 like 5'11.5 monsters on and arnie is about 182cm

i stood next him in a vegas shop while a was picking up a suit im 5'3 with 5inch heels on, he had cow boy boots on and he looked the same height as me, i was a bit star struck,he looks so much bigger in movies, mind you his body, arms, etc looked great, he was buying another pair of boots :)

Actually Shaun there used to be a respectable poster on here called Ziggy who was 5'7 and got up to 6'0 in custom made elevator footwear. He did mention they cost over a thousand dollars to get made however.
Editor Rob

now if he had posted a video showing himself 5ft 7 then 6ft it would have been remarkable as 5 inches of actual height from the boot in posted seemed a bit on the optimistic side to me.

Actually at one point I was leaning on 5'9.5" a few years back until I saw the Rome pics.
Shaun said on 12/Aug/12
@Leonari

I quite agree. 5'8.5-5'9" seems about right. A 5'7" man would never pull off 6' which Stallone has in his munsters.

In one of the première sly has funny shoes that seem to give 1.75 in range hé looks just 2 in under arnie who had 1.6-7in cuban and taller than van damme who has normal 1-1.1 in , if they had same shoes vandamme is indeed a haïr taller , for years i thaught vandamme was a bit under 5'9 while hé is 5'9 or a bit over

Rob do you think van damme is slightly taller than sly , sly is def nô more than 5'8.75 night vandamme dosnt look 0.75 in taller also van damme is Max 0.25 in over statam , how tall sly and vandamme dinner Time , answer please , Jean Claude could measure 176.5-7cm but not at dinner
Zach said on 12/Aug/12
Shredder - I've never said Sly is 5'7. IMO he is and always has been in the 5'8-5'8.5 region.
the shredder said on 12/Aug/12
5'7 is laughing gas ... and Brad and Zach , REALLY ... lifts can only add some much ... For a guy to LOOK 5'10 minimum he would have to measure about at least 181 cm in lifts ... Even if he is adding 3 inches he is still over 5'8 .
Dmeyer said on 12/Aug/12
Rob how come sly looks taller than van damme at the premiere
Editor Rob
I think they are pretty near in height
the shredder said on 11/Aug/12
Van Damme is as measured or a legit 5'9 , under is a joke ... Gibson 5'9ish is fair and Sly 5'9 is fair peak ... I can see Sly as 5'8.5 max or less now .

5'7 is a BIG joke on all these guys , even cruise is more 5'8 and all these man would eat G in all barefoot !
Brad said on 10/Aug/12
Sly wears custom wedged footwear, Van Damme doesn't.
Zach said on 10/Aug/12
Nice pics Leonari. Only problem is that I wouldn't trust any of their footwear. Sly almost certainly in 'stealth' footwear as Brad likes to call them. Arnold being Arnold didnt really opt for subtlety, he just pulled out the big ol' snake skinned cowboy boots. Not sure about JCVD.
tuite said on 10/Aug/12

Editor Rob: Man Up!!!I think you are a big fan of Stallone. He is a short man. I lived In Philly when he filmed Rocky. In the scene when he runs with all the kids--he came over and said hello to my mom and myself. My mother is 5'4" and he was wearing blk chucks. My mother's response was that he was SO short. and that maybe he was 2-3 inches taller than her . He was very nice, but he was in her opinion a hair over 5'7", and now when she sees him on tv/movies--she understands the image he must portray. She has looked at your site and just chuckles at the listed heights. 5'9" is very inaccurate and he should be downgraded.

Lifts in his shoes with Weathers, ace camera action. Look at the training film of Sly & Weathers in the ring with Sly without his custom lifts and camera angles, he's getting creamed by 4.5".

I ran into Sly a few weeks ago at the Bloomingdales in Century City, Ca, and letme tell you i am 5'8...i stood right next to him. He had these monster elevator shoes on that gave him at least 2 inches...i say no more than 5'8 flat footed!!!

he's tried to claim five ten and a half but I don't think many believe he is five eleven
Ram said on 24/Jul/12
I always saw Stallone as 5'11" but I guess that's his build and maybe elevator shoes? :) Looking at some of his films again I would say 5'9" was spot on for him in his prime. However seeing as he is 66 now do you think he may have possibly lost some height as most do by that age?

I agree and even though he might've had lifts in his boots, he's still a minimum of 5'9 in my opinion. No way a 5'7 guy could pull that off.
Brad said on 24/Jul/12
Might be right Danimal, he looked it with his brother and Jennifer last week. In the Rambo films he has custom gigantic wedge in his boots, lots of tricky camera angles, he's a sly Sly.

excessive lifting could always have the chance of causing some damage, real big weights bigger than what you lift which puts very large stress on spine.

Nah, he was 190 pounds in Rocky 1. He was very stalky. He cut down over the year and by Rocky III he was around 155-160 pounds. He was about 5'8"-5'8.5" in his prime. Today, he is max 5'7 3/4".

In the film his weight was 190 , though Sly claimed 177 doing filming .

QUOTE: Slappy says on 9/Jun/12 "it seems like actors are getting taller now"

It just happens in cycles of who is popular at the moment and matching co-stars. In the days of John Wayne he would be cast with other tall men like Jimmy Stewart, Rock Hudson etc.
Alan Ladd, Jimmy Cagney and smaller stars would not usually be in films with men so obviously tall.
Tom Cruise, Shia LaBoeuf are modern smaller types and Jared Padelecki is tall.
Slappy said on 9/Jun/12
Sly is my height...5'8....... I used to go to a lot of boxing matches in the 80's and 90's and judged my height on a lot of actors.... it seems like actors are getting taller now. No, I know they are taller than the used to be. Back then you couldn't get a job if you were over 6'3... now you have guys like Jared Padalecki who could be the tallest person I ever saw in person, HUGE! at least 6'6, FN crazy. He would have never landed a show back in the day. I felt like a tweenage friggin girl next to him.lol

5'8 1/2 - 5'9 in his prime. 5'8 today. My guess is during Rocky 1 he was around 175lb and by Rocky 3, he was around 165lb. Van Damme was probably 5'9 in his prime and around 185lb in his films. Still though, if Stallone wore lifts and managed good posture, he could easily look 5'11.

Before he was a superstar he appeared on an episode of Kojak. He was clearly a rather small fellow compared with the rest of the cast. The guy who plays Crocker towered over him. If Telly Savalas was around 5'10" in his high-heeled boots, Stallone was no more than 5'8" before he started wearing major lifts. Also, he looked about 5'8" next to Brian Dennehy in Rambo. We have to look at his early work to tell.

it is not impossible to lose only a small amount at that age if you maintain a good spine, but natural wear and tear and disc degeneration effects people differently.
RisingForce said on 14/Feb/12

He has in the past, but I really think he is liftless in these pictures or wearing extremely small lifts. Looks 5'8.75 - 5'9 tops here. Usually looks at least 5'10 ish - 5'11 in his huge lifts but seemed to tone things down for the Expendables promotions this past year.

Yeah, the picture obviously doesn't mean anything, just thought it was interesting how tall he looked, even with the favorable conditions. I'd guess that at the time of the picture, Sly and Sheen were about the same height barefoot, though Sly now may be half an inch shorter. I think he's lost a little height the last 3-4 years.
Derek d said on 9/Feb/12
In regards to the Sly/Sheen picture, Sly is standing straight as possible, in probably big lifts. Sheen is bending his legs, his back and his neck. Horrible posture. I'd bet Sheen is actually a inch/half taller than Sly barefoot.

Doubles with SS & KR in the butt scene. The wide angle lense in a master shot will always blow up the guy closest to the camera in the line-up, like huge.
leonari said on 5/Feb/12
Zach: There is a high probability that those were doubles in that butt scene with Russel. So it's useless for height comparison.

Rob how do you exPlain risingforce picture were sly looks 3.5-4 in over 5'9 Martin while sly has elevators sneakers that give nô more than 2.2-2.4 in , 1 in posture and 1.25 in more footwear and closer to camera hé looks over 3 in on a 5'9 m'en hé looks 184cm in this shot
Editor Rob
I think in this case, the photographer helped him look taller - when you shoot very close with a wide angle lense and in portrait (vertical) mode, even a couple inches nearer to the camera can make a lot of difference.

Yeah Rising and look at Sly's torso as well in comparison to Sheen's. This is why I think the people who think he is 5 ft 7 are so absurd. He actually has the torso of a guy in the 5'11-6' range but the legs of a 5'8" guy I think.

RisingForce said on 1/Feb/12
Not sure about higher ground, I think that's the photo being tilted in Sly's favor. It does show how short Sly's legs are and how long his torso is for a man his height. His legs even in his biggest elevators look similar to Sheen's while his torso looks very long compared to Sheen and Perry.

Their posture is also the polar opposite to Stallone's. Sly is like a statue while both Sheen and Perry are casually slouching.

This site is most generous to Stallone ...even though he is below 5'8" that is a fact!!!!

Dumb post like this is ... Where is THE FACTS ?
RisingForce said on 1/Feb/12
This picture really surprised me. Click Here

Posture and angle are obviously favorable, but that has to be the tallest I've ever seen Sly look in a full body shot, even with elevators. Very strange picture.

If Stallone stands 5'7"-5'8" tall. Then he is of average height.

5'7 is not average height for a white american male

Average height.

If Stallone stands 5'7"-5'8" tall. Then he is of average height. Stallone isn't a small man to me at all IMHO.

Rob, why do you not put the Birgit Nielsen quotes on the summary ?

Brad, please go to the Coey Feldman page, and let me know what your thoughts are on what I posted. I think we might have stumbled on something interesting on that page concerning Stallone's height.
burby said on 27/Jan/12
The highest I would go with JCVD peak would be 5'8.75", probably strong 5'8.5" now. Stallone has big ones on.
the shredder said on 26/Jan/12
Rob , whats wrong , where are the comments on here ... also Sly looks 5'8.5 with with JCD ?
Editor Rob
a problem with the database meant a bunch of comments were removed

What about this, Rob? Click Here
Brad said on 26/Jan/12
Look at Sly's baseball mitt hand with JCD. He's gotta lay off the juice for flicks.
Brad said on 8/Jul/09
I think he's 5' 10.75", look at him with Glenn who is 5' 8" above. Bit of '07 post action.
Frank2 said on 8/Jul/09
He's still no more than 5'8". 5'7" is still not beyond the realm of possibility. Arm length means zilch. I'm 5'11" yet I have very short legs. My height is in my torso. My father-in-law is 6'4" and when the two of us are seated, our torsos are the same height. Had I gotten legs proportional to the length of my torso, I'd probably be 6'4".
Daniel said on 7/Jul/09
I guess Clay, TNTinCa and Anon are absolutely right
derek d said on 7/Jul/09
Regarding this 5'6, 5'7 rubbish, Sly's arms would look a lot shorter and stocky if he was only 5'7. Even when he was completely huge on hgh, his arms and limbs looked in proportion to a 5'8.5 - 5'9 man's body.

Rising,

Good pictures, BUT there is no limit as to what sly could do to his footwear to make himself look taller. the following pictures, which i found from an asian website show a guy, who is listed at 178/179 cm or so, revealing the secrets behind his footwear.

Click Here

scroll down to the last two pix.

you will notice that he's wearing typical tennis shoes on his left foot with seemingly no lifts. but inside the shoes, he's sporting 3 pretty big insoles at about an inch or more each, which when stacked up together allows him to gain at least 3 inches without looking bulky.

i don't believe stallone's footwear help ends at just his lifts, which, from a naked eye, look to give 2-3 inches. combined with his lifts and big insoles like the ones from the link inside, he could easily gain 5 inches without looking absolutely clumsy. thus, even in the pics with sly wearing "tennis shoes," he could still be getting 3 inch lifts from his insoles.

even at 5'8 he could look like a legit 6'1 ish guy this way so this is why i believe judging his height with him wearing any type of footwear is pretty much pointless. dural's pic pretty much revealed that stallone wearing normal shoes (before he had a chance to make them customzied perhaps lol) is shorter than his 5'9 ish wife with sandals on, so any chance of him being taller than 5'9 is nonexistent imo.
Haze said on 7/Jul/09
i say he's 5'8 max. just look at his shoes they are rediculous. i dunno why hes so self conscience about his height. hes average. but i guess average isnt good enough
Clay said on 7/Jul/09
5'6-5'7 is impossble. When you see a larger than life figure like Sly in person and realize how short he is (lets face it a celeb who is around 5'9 comes off as short) you over-exagerate.
TNTinCA said on 6/Jul/09
VA,

I met Sly on Miami Beach about 10 years ago when I was vacationing. I stand just a little under 5'10". Sly was barefoot and so was I (it was on the beach) and my gf was observing said that he was only a little shorter than me. About an inch was her guess.

So I believe 5'9" is accurate. Unless he has internal lifts that were put in surgically. ;-)
derek d said on 6/Jul/09
VA says on 3/Jul/09 I doubt he got any surgery, because most people see Sly at 5-6-5-7 today without his lifts. Seriously guys, hes no taller than 5-7 on a good day. Sly is a short man.

Sly's lifts just got better, lol.
redioaktiv said on 6/Jul/09
Hi Guys. Its no secret That Sly does wear lifts. Besides,many guys and girls, specialy celebrities are wearing them at the red carpet events! As far as his body he is bigger, due to the HGH he consumes which has bulked him up more than ever before in his life. You add extra inches in height to that bulky body and wualla! you get a 6' Body builder type guy. If he is even 5'6- 5'8 with these shoes he will defenitly be 5'10-6'00 tall. Click Here
Go ahead guys, look like stallone, be like stallone, but you will never be stallone......Its better to be unique, but have fun !!!
Anon said on 6/Jul/09
Under 5-7 is foolish beyond words. You guys who think so obviously never watched any of his movies. You guys who think so get out of your computer nerd lairs and meet real actual people. Specially 5-7 people and realize how small they are no matter how much muscle. The man was undoubtedly 5-9, lowest ever @ 174cm even frank2 admit it.
RisingForce said on 4/Jul/09
These pictures with Tom Jones are puzzling. Jones is listed here at a height of 5'10" with a peak height of 5'10.5" Click Here Click Here Stallone easily looks 2 inches taller without the effect.

On another night they were closer in height with Sly about an inch taller. Click Here

Stallone looked to be in his usual elevators. Click Here

Jones shoes look a bit suspicious too and he towers over 5'4.5" listed Demi Moore in heels. Click Here

Same night and he's taller than Bruce Willis. Click Here so it doesn't appear that the Tom Jones picture was an illusion.

Bruce looks like he has normal 1 inch shoes. Click Here In that picture Bruce looks close to 4 inches taller than Stephen Stills who is supposedly 5'8".

Photos like that are why I always held the belief that Stallone would measure 6'1" in elevators, particularly the first 2 where he seems to have no effect advantage. Why I've dropped that belief is because he'd probably have to be a legit 5'10" to accomplish that and photos like the liftless ones Dural posted make that seems nearly impossible.

That's why 5'9"/5'9.5" makes sense to me, you have to go by what he looks on average because Sly's height is extremely inconsistent and a mystery. The fact is that there are pictures where 5'10"+ looks impossible like Dural's pictures and pictures where 5'8" looks impossible like the ones above. I don't know how tall Sly is, but if he's 5'8" flat then how is that he looks taller than a man who is atleast 5'11" and why does he look taller than Tom Jones so easily? I don't buy that he's getting 4 plus inches of lift in his shoes. At 5'9" or 5'9.5" he'd be 6'0" or 6'0.5" in his biggest elevators and with the effect he could pass for a legit 6 footer in some pictures.
tubbs said on 4/Jul/09
Frank, do you think SLy has had the leg lengthening operations? I wouldn't be surprised because his height estimations from the 70's all are around 5'7"-8" region. There is no denying nowadays he can sometimes look 6ft+, the Joe Calzaghe pictures and Jonathan Ross interview show that. I don't think his lifts would be able to add that much height. Was there a period in the 90's where he went missing for a while, during which time he could have had such an operation undertaken, and then recovered?
Daniel said on 4/Jul/09
I've never seen Sylvester Stallone looking short, not even in the photographs posted by some guys discussing his height on this page. I don't think he's (or at least was in his prime) less than 1.75m, as Rob lists him.
Mr T-Cakes said on 4/Jul/09
incidentally, Young is 5ft8 according to info' on here.
Mr T-Cakes said on 4/Jul/09
I can believe Sly is 5ft7-ish, but then in the new Rambo and Rocky films he appears taller than he has ever been. Especially in Rocky Balboa when he's next to Burt Young. If you look at Rocky4 they're almost the same height. But in the most recent film Stallone looks a good 3 inches or so taller. Obviously Young has shrunk(but so too should've Stallone at his age). He must have stilts on these days, or something.
Doug said on 4/Jul/09
Most people see Sly at 5-6-5-7 today without his lifts. You honestly think he is shorter than Tom Cruise? LOL 5'6" or 5'7" is RIDICULOUS. That would make Glenn 5'3" as Stallone was only wearing sandals.
Brad said on 4/Jul/09
He's short but 5' 8.5" plus "effect". If he wears NYC sandals next to 5' 6" people with "full effect" he can look tall, especially if you claim your height is 5' 8" under your photo for 2 years.
VA said on 3/Jul/09
