He’s been a user of lifts for years. The 2.5” - 3” boost is useful for a 5-8.5 guy.

Owning Mr. T.....he musta had mega munsters that day.
RR said on 19/Apr/21
Most likely he's always been a lift wearer.

That last one is really something. Even though Sly's older, he either grew or Mr. T shrunk. You be the judge.

What are the brand of trainers that SLy is wearing in that famous pic of him at some...game I think. It's on here somewhere. Aha, a scroll down says there are Hogans!
Duhon said on 14/Apr/21
So was Stallone wearing massive lifts here with 5'9" Michael Jackson? Click Here

A bit over 5-8 peak. Now I’d say bit under 5-8
RR said on 3/Apr/21
How in the world has Sylvester Stallone ever been 5 ft 9? Mr. T who played Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 was 5 ft 10. Pretty sure everybody's seen the Rocky films. Guess, being a wacko in Hollywood means, "you gotta do what you gotta do." Lol

I've met stallone. I'm 5,8 and towered over him. He's very small which I quite obvious in his films to.

Rob, I had read an article about sly weight in various movies. I remember about 180 in the first rocky, about 200 in the second, while in the 90s nothing is known, at the time of demolition man, cliffhanger, in your opinion what altitude was it? I believe around 180 with a very good definition.
Editor Rob
It is harder estimating weight than height...185 pounds in that movie is a possibility.
John Diamond said on 11/Mar/21
5'7.5", he doesn't seem very tall against some of the actors and actresses of movies he is in. He appears to be around height as 5'7" celebrities listed on here.
Covvvid1984. said on 3/Mar/21
Hollywood’s greatest height magician. Apart from vin diesel. Peak 5-8.75. Now 5-8.
Lynn Meyers said on 21/Feb/21
Compare work not statistics.Just because Goldie is 75 doesnt mean she has lost height. At 76 still 5'6 1/2" tall. I don't lean.

Here seems to be wearing normal shoes, strong 5'8 for Sly
Jtm said on 16/Feb/21
I agree with Bernie and Stacy. Never been over 5’8 in his life and most likely shorter.
Genau 5ft9 7/8 said on 14/Feb/21
@bernie camera angles also 176.5 - 177 (5ft9 5/8 out of bed Peak means that at his Peak the height he was for most of the day was 175-175.5 and a little below 175.0 (maybe like 174.8-174.9) at his normal Peak Evening low
Genau 5ft9 7/8 said on 13/Feb/21
Peak 5ft9 but a bit below 5ft8 nowadays maybe 5ft7 3/4 now Rob?
slim 6'1 said on 12/Feb/21
175.5-176cm for peak 👍
Stacy said on 9/Feb/21
Look at the femur and the width of shoulders. 5'8" maximum. He has fusions in the neck and he has very good posture, which makes him appear taller and reach average height for men. I find that men put down their desired height rather than the actual height. They look ridiculous and you have to wonder what is up with their ego or confidence, to feel they need to lie about it. I'm a tall woman and have been told my entire life "men are bigger and stronger than women" and was forced to shrink down as much as possible. Embrace your height. Hug a tall woman, you feel better instantly for 2 main reasons...lol
bernie said on 7/Feb/21
@ Genau - 176.5 - 177 out of bed peak ? So why then is he the same height as 5'8" Paulie in the early rocky movies when wearing regular shoes? Can you explain?
Rising174cm said on 7/Feb/21
If you look at this on set pic or ending scene of the film, 50 year old Sly was just slightly taller than 53 year old De Niro: Click Here I don't know if De Niro had already lost a small fraction, though I lean towards both him and Sly being about 5'8.75" peak. De Niro is weird, he looked maybe that height in The Last Tycoon yet he looked an easy 5'9" in Mean Streets and I doubt he wore lifts in that film.

By 2013, a 67 year Stallone was more like 1.5" taller than a 70 year old De Niro: Click Here I would say that's because Stallone hadn't really lost height yet while De Niro had lost an inch. Rob lists De Niro at 5'7.5" current, but I think that was more his height at the time that photo was taken 7 years ago. Having seen De Niro walking about 10 feet away about a year and a half ago, I'd have said he's not over 5'7" anymore. On the other hand, I do think Sly finally succumbed to a half inch loss over the last 5 or 6 years, but judging by all of the most recent comparisons in 2018 and 2019, he still looks more 5'8.5" than 5'8" flat to me. It doesn't hurt that he clearly still makes an effort to stand tall.

But the 176 cm stuff is generous for Sly. Imo, he must have been a minimum 174 and a maximum 175 as ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen said he was 174-175 and that does look about right in the rare photo of them with Sly in flat shoes: tinyurl.com/3bcnx47t Elsewhere, I think she's referred to Sly as 5'9" as well, but her previous comment makes it clear she meant more of a weak 5'9" than a strong 5'9". I think Brigitte herself was a bit over 6 ft peak and now a bit under that in her late 50s.

Just a nibble over 5’9 like a solid 176 is arguable

5'9" peak same as De Niro

I really doubt Robert's peak is 5"9'.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Jan/21
I think that mark peak is likely, Rob.

From there, he'd easily hit his claim in shoes
Spencer said on 17/Jan/21
5'9" peak same as De Niro
Rising174cm said on 13/Jan/21
I can't see Sly measuring above 5'10" peak in the dress shoes he's wearing back to back with Frank. He does look barely an inch shorter: Click Here and as you can see in another shot of their footwear: Click Here Sly's dress shoes are fairly flat and more of a standard heel model than big. Frank is wearing loafers, which typically add less than dress shoes, but though the heel difference doesn't look too noticeable. Maybe Sly still hadn't lost anything noticeable by 2014, but Frank may have because even if Sly was still 5'8.75" to a weak 5'9" as I believe was his peak height, Frank is not looking above 5'10" flat with Sly at the Expendables 3 premiere.

Here they are with similar dress shoes two years earlier at the Expendables 2 premiere: Click Here Only an inch or so difference. It's even more likely Sly hadn't lost anything noticeable as of 2012, but if Frank was 5'10.5" peak then he must have already lost near half an inch by his early 60s.

But more recently, in 2017 Sly looked taller than Frank wearing some kind of thick sneakers or boots with lifts: Click Here Click Here

Sly probably pulled off 5'10" range in the 2017 photos with Frank since his shoes look like the ones he wore with Brad Pitt in 2019, but still, Frank must struggle to hit 5'10" these days. Since I give Sly 175 cm peak and 174 cm current, I'll give Frank 179 cm peak and 177 cm current.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Jan/21
The shoes he's wearing in the photo above...put those on prime Stallone (5ft9¼ is my vote) and he's easily hitting 5ft11
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Jan/21
Rob, how likely is 5ft10 out of bed peak?
Editor Rob
a chance, if you were of the opinion he was more 5ft 9.25 for a chunk of the day.
ALEXIZ/180cm said on 10/Jan/21
175 cm max young.
173 cm max Today.
Rising174cm said on 10/Jan/21
Rob confirmed that Hogan Interactive sneakers add 2", but since Sly could often look 5'10.5" or even 5'11" in them, I wonder how much height they could give with additional lifts inside. 2.5" to 2.75" range? Also, the photos where Sly looked surprisingly close to Brad Pitt's height were less than 2 years ago, which also suggests to me that Sly may have only lost half an inch.
Editor Rob
I think it would be tricky to try to fit more than 1cm extra lift in Hogan sneakers.
slim 6'1 said on 7/Jan/21
178cm out of bed 👍
The5'11Dude said on 6/Jan/21
Despite him wearing lifts a lot when he was younger, I still think Sly was 5'9 barefoot in his peak, and easily 5-10-5'11 range in lifts. Today, I'd say he's a solid 5'8. If he's a barefoot 5'8.25, then I'd imagine in shoes Stallone is 5'8.5-5'8.75.
Pierre said on 5/Jan/21
Weak 5"8' peak.Now around 5"7'.Thats what I guess in all the pics I have posted here
Rising174cm said on 4/Jan/21
Still held 5'8.5" until at least 2017: Click Here Click Here He was clearly a bit taller than Rob was with Weathers and in the full pic, you see Sly reaching Carl's eyebrows in in similar dress shoes and posture so 4" shorter and Rob didn't think Carl looked less than 6'0.75" range.

It's gotten trickier since Sly went back to wearing thick shoes most of the time, but he was pulling off near 2" taller in lifts than Statham in August 2018: Click Here Click Here I don't think Statham is taller than 5'8.5", but I still can't see Sly was any shorter barefoot at that point, especially with Statham going up on one foot.

As recent as August 2019, Sly held up better than expected with solid 5'9" Jamie Foxx: Click Here Click Here Many would say Jamie is 176 cm. It wouldn't surprise me if Sly managed lifts in his sneakers, but they're not huge like the Hogans and I wouldn't guess less than 174 cm for a then-73 year old Sly.

I'll still guess 5'8.5" until I see him clearly shorter than that, but now at 74, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him 5'8"-5'8.25". For peak, I'd guess he was as likely to have fallen just shy of 5'9" by maybe 1/8" to 1/4" as he was to measure the full 5'9", but in the barefoot candids with his (presumably 5'9") wife from 2013 and 2014, he didn't look much shorter than that, if at all: Click Here Click Here The most interesting thing is that his legs didn't look as short as I'd have thought. In any event, it's clear there was nowhere close to a 2" difference.

Here’s an experiment for all people with cowboy boots. Put in a mild wedge boost insert. Any 5-7 guys will soon look and feel 5-10.
slim 6'1 said on 1/Jan/21
I reckon an eighth or even a quarter inch over 5’9”
Bradley said on 26/Dec/20
You got the thick heeled cowboy boots correct....you forgot the custom wedge inside. Yes, the behind the scenes footage of Sly in standard boxing footwear is a very important figure in his 5' 8.5" peak height.
Mightyman said on 24/Dec/20
Rob first off I watched a few of your videos, nicely presented. I would suggest thou u buy a green screen off ebay so u can put a more professional background, it would just look so much better. Theres loads of software on iphone or android for u to place a background behind u so it looks better.


Sly has always been 5'7 never a cm more. Watch the behind the scenes sparring videos while making rocky. He stands next to Carl weathers, who towers over him. U can clearly see Stallone is at best 5'7. It looked exactly like a 5'7 guy standing next to a 6'1 guy. A well built 5'7 guy can look good with the right shoes and posture even without lifts. It's that grey area,not short and not tall. But with a alittle lift help can look just fine in Hollyweird. Met him at Planet Hollywood opening in London in the 90's. He had on thick heeled cowboy boots and looked 5'9, amazing build, women loved him. But alot shorter in person but not midget short. 5'7 is what he is barefoot. See van damme too who was really broad, with big permed hair at the time. Lastly, saw Arnold too,he was a hell of a lot bigger looking in the 90's, hes clearly shrank alot since then.This all happened in London Picadilly Trocadero in approx 1992
Editor Rob

Sly's height is one of the most widely guessed celebrities, with people seeing him 5ft 6 to 6ft.

Greenscreens are great too. I did like making videos from my living room 😎
Sean95 said on 21/Dec/20
There's no underestimating him when you'd meet him in person and mistake him for appearing "5'6", that posture is titanium and would refuse to stoop a inch with 100mph of wind and storm coming towards him
Slim 6'1" said on 9/Dec/20
I think a strong 5’9” like 176cm
Rocky_1776 said on 5/Dec/20
Just a tad under 5’ 9” peak but now is a tad under 5’ 8”.
Bradley said on 4/Dec/20
The 5-11 figure was to validate the G's 5-9 claim in the header photo above this column years ago of Sly owning "I'm 5-9" G with an "In sandals" claim Sly. All a joke. G was 5' 6.5" in his photos as I said a hundred times on this forum before he got measured witch (G moment) prooved (G moment) I was correct. Sly was 5' 8.5" peak. He has lied for years like his brother.
MJKoP said on 1/Dec/20
I remember Glenn's "logic" insisted that Stallone must be 5'10 3/4" because it was such a precise figure. "If you're going to lie, why not just round up to 5-11?" he vehemently argued. Of course later on, Glenn insisted Stallone WAS 5'11" - when even Sly himself never claimed that high.

Btw, I know I've been pretty scarce around these parts - lots going on with my personal life. Just recently inherited a cool $999,999,975.00 and I've been tied up with enjoying my newfound fortune. Y'all know I'm telling the truth...because if I were lying, I'd just fabricate and claim a cool and even one billion. Duh.

Camera angles, lifts in his boxing shoes. Massive heeled boots. He knew how to add the height. In Rambo his boots were custom made with gigantic wedge inside.
OriginalAnon said on 28/Oct/20
Random height thought: When I was young, I used to think Stallone looked kind of tall in Rocky (the first). I haven't seen it in years and I have no idea why I thought that. Was he part of a relatively short cast? In Rocky 3, I thought he looked a lot shorter, but not in Rocky 2.

The standard boxing footwear he was filmed in training with Carl really is an important height shot. They had no wedge or heel. He's in customs with heel and wedge in most anything with Carl outside of the training ring footage.

@ Slim 6'1" - 176cm peak? So why he is not taller in flat shoes than 5'8" Paulie in the early rocky movies? can you explain? Why he is 5 inches shorter than 6'1" Carl Weathers in old footage films for the Rocky movie? As we all know he wore those 3.5" - 4" ramped up wedged up Boots. So why does he never appeared in them as 6'1"? Rocky V, has those cowboy boots which add 3.5" - 4" and still is about 2.5 inches shorter than 6'1" Tommy Machine Gunn? Can you explain?

To put that pic with Travolta in perspective,Travolta would be around 6 ft1 or maybe a bit more in his boots there.Stallone at 5ft9 looks like 6ft tall in comparison,that's 3 inches gained with his boots on.

Bradley said on 14/Sep/20
Sly and Vin have had 3.5" added for years. Ramped up boots with huge wedge inside.
Hotpots said on 10/Sep/20
It’s very possibly and popular for some people to wear 3 or 4 inch custom boots. A 5-7 guy can get close to 6-0 in custom footwear. Sly or vin diesel or RDJ etc etc are all using this type of footwear. This is why we see the occasional picture that totally contradicts their claimed height.
Editor Rob
To go from 5ft 7 to 6ft would require footwear that pushes you up to your tip-toe height (about 3 inches for a 5ft 7 guy), then you'd need another 2 inches of platform on the front of the shoe to get that 5.
Bradley said on 3/Sep/20
The Escape To Victory boots are like the Rocky ones sitting on the steps: huge custom ramped up monsters. Big wedge inside like his Rambo boots. He needs to be as close to 6 feet as he can get. Only Burt Reynolds wore bigger customs.
bernie said on 2/Sep/20
Thank you Pierre/ Rising 174cm.

What to me seems kinda strange.. watched again Rocky V. The scene on the street where Adrian joins the talk with Promoter Duke, Paulie present as well & Tommy Gunn.

Ok, Sly may be taller than 5’8”” Paulie by let’s say 2 inches and obviously at least 3 inches shorter than 6’1”Tommy Gunn, but look at Sly’s heels and pretty obviously inside wedge,

So this gives him for sure 3.5”. How can he be barefeet than 5’8.5” – 5’9”? It’s mathematically not possible…To me, max. same height as Paulie, maybe even a tad below, so 5’7.5 – 5’7.75” at best.

In some scenes you can also see Paulies shoulder level is higher ( Sly without heels) , Paulie has a longer body it seems, although hes slouching most of the time..
Pierre said on 31/Aug/20
Sly in the movie"Escape To Victory" wear very probably lifts next to Pelé ,that's why I prefer the pics behind the scene.And then Sly clearly looks shorter than Eusebio 5"9' next to Pelé as we can see in my comment on 8/August.
For an example here is one of the type of shoes he wear in this movie = Click Here .There is even a hard scene in the movie inwhich he trained football with his partners and fall to the ground and he wear this type of massive heels.Then no difficult to imagine his football shoes in other softer scenes can have some lifts.Plus the angles of camera that can give him an advantage.

I have to say I have zero problem with Sly's height(or even other),just we are here to talk and to try to guess the real height of each celebrity then I try to be logical with what I see.Sly is maybe 5"7' range maybe more maybe a bit less,he's a very good actor to me no matter his height.
Hotpots said on 31/Aug/20
Probably 5-8 just peak. Now 5-7.5

In Copland(like in other movies) Sly had advantageous shoes with very probably lifts/elevator shoes as you can see in a recent pic I posted .If he wear flip flop in this movie I doubt the camera disadvantage him during this scene.
Robert De Niro around the same period as Copland looks maybe 5"8' next to Eddie Murphy (see the pic I posted recently),and a lot before Copland looks maybe 5"8' next to Robin Williams.
Some internauts here in recent or old comments posted pics inwhich you can see Sly's advantageous shoes in movies.

in lock up and over the top he has the same boot high cut 1,6in outside hell and and big bulge and lots of room for lifts like 2in that give Somewhere 1,25in plus 1,6 he will get near 2,5-2,75in over barefeet taking him from 5-8,75-9 to 5-11,5 or 11,25 looking about 5 ft 10,5 wich explains his claim he probably measured 5-11-11,75 in his best shoes whi he claims 5-10-10,75
Editor Rob
The shortest figure I've seen for Stallone in newspapers (with a straight face) is 5 foot 6.

I don't think the link to the Grudge Match premiere pic worked so here it is again: Click Here and a little bigger version: Click Here De Niro was still about 5'7.5" back in 2013-2014 at age 70 so Sly still looked 5'9" with him at age 67. Although I'd probably guess Sly was more 5'8.75" barefoot by 2013-2014, possibly just 5'8.5", though he still pretty consistently looked a little taller than that.

And Sly was quite easily taller than Pele. Here's video of them side by side in a full shot on a solid surface: Click Here If Pele was 172 cm peak then Sly looks at least 176 cm with him and they have the same type of footwear: Click Here Of course, Sly was not over 175 cm peak, but he does look it with Pele and you won't find a better comparison than a wide shot on video with footwear known.
Rising174cm said on 26/Aug/20
@Brad: More or less correct, which was my point; it's pretty much impossible to tell how tall he is by how he looks the last 3 years. Now for the nitpicking, technically I think they were Hogan sneakers, which come with a thicker outer sole and removable lifts, though i doubt Sly uses that removable feature! Also, I think Pitt is more 5'10.5" range than 5'10" flat.

@bernie: Correct about De Niro being only about 5'7" these days. He did not look taller than that to me walking by from about 10 feet away last year and I wouldn't have ruled out 5'6.5"-5'7" range, though he was wearing a hat and I obviously couldn't give you an accurate estimate from those circmstances. Robin Williams was 5'7" peak, but actually shrunk to no taller than 5'6" before he died, but Sly is noticeably taller than De Niro these days.

67 year old Sly in dress shoes and 70 year old De Niro: Click Here Sly looks about 1.5" taller and De Niro did generally still seem 5'7.5" back then. As for their younger years, both Stallone and De Niro had to be somewhere in the 5'8.5"-5'9" range, imo, but I'd guess there's a better chance of Sly being the full 5'9" back then. Here's a 50 year old Sly and 53 year old De Niro on the set of Cop Land: Click Here which was a film in which Sly didn't appear to wear lifts and even wore flip flops at the beginning, plus he generally looked around 5'9" in that film as opposed to the 5'10.5"-5'11" he looked in many of his other films while wearing lifts.

Also, Sly was definitely taller than Burt Young. You could see this in the first ocky when Sly goes to punch the meat wearing Converse--which only add 5/8"--while Burt was wearing some kind of boots that had to add an inch or a little more, yet Sly still looked about an inch taller: Click Here You can see their full bodies and footwear around 1:07.

Finally, those Rocky boots are nowhere near 4": Click Here The heel is more like 1.75"-2", which is a big heel for a men's style, but quite common around that time and still similar to typical cowboy boot and cuban heel sizes. If you want to see what a 3" mens heel looks like, here's an example: Click Here A 4"+ heel would be the type of stuff you only see in 70s style platforms worn by musicians. Anyway, Sly's ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen said he was 174-175 cm on Danish Big Brother some years back, and has apparently said 5'9" at other times. I think his peak couldn't have been any shorter or taller than that range. The average guess right now is exactly 175 cn(5'8.89") right now and I think that's spot on.

Sly in his Chuck Taylors with Burt Young in the meat locker "iced" Sly at 5' 8.5" in Rocky.

@Bernie = next to Robert De Niro Sly looks sometimes a bit taller but was wearing generous shoes this time too = here floor looking regular Robert a bit closer to the camera = Click Here
Click Here Click Here =Sylvester's shoes very high hiding by his pant,his ankles are somewhere above his shoes. Click Here = here Robert's shoes looking very slim in comparison(and we cannot see the whole Sly's shoes here like the last pic)

Click Here = Robert De Niro /Eddy Murphy 5"9.25' 2002(Copland 1997) shoes looking similar this time = Click Here

1990 next to Robin Williams standing a bit closer to the camera but not perfectly straight Click Here Click Here .With same shoes Sly is to me big max same height as Robert himself around 5"8' to me.
Bradley said on 25/Aug/20
The only way Sly can measure up to a 5-10 Brad Pitt is custom whoppers.
bernie said on 25/Aug/20
@ Rising174cm : Watching pics of an younger Robert de Niro with 5'7" Robin Williams, they're pretty equal in height. Maybe de Niro a tad higher. So de Niro in his older days has shrunk for sure, lucky if he is 5'7" currently, i'd say. In some pics Sly with de Niro, Sly seems hardly taller. So this 5'9" peak i doubt very highly.
Furthermore this peak height must be around the first Rocky movies, in which he is wearing these 4" - 4.5" cowboy boots. So when calculating correctly he has to be /appear 6'1" then, which definately is not the case… I'd say even a 5'8" Burt Young, when standing straight at his tallest, is taller than him, barefeet!
Rising174cm said on 22/Aug/20
Although Sly was still looking a good 5'8.5" into early 2017 when he was wearing normal-looking dress shoes, based on probability, he probably is down to 5'8.25" now at 74 years old. It's difficult to tell, since he's started looking comfortably over 5'8.5" again the last 3 years since his fondness for thick footwear has returned. For instance, aside from Sly measuring up well to Brad Pitt, we have this recent pic with Chuck Zito: Click Here So my best guess is 5'8.75" peak, maybe just scraping 5'9" midday and 5'8.25" now. Basically from a weak 5'9" to a strong 5'8".
Bradley said on 9/Aug/20
I haven't met Willis 20 times,however; I have met my astronaut....he has a Volvo but doesn't use it as bed to get some added height in the Great Scot measure. Meat locker with Chuck Taylor's on is a nice shot.

176 is confusing cuz in the 80s it was solid average now below average but not short

This guy's height exactly isn't known because of he has always weared elevator. I think his peak height was maximum 176-177 cm, minimum 174-175 cm. Probably not solid 178 cm
Bradley said on 6/Aug/20
How did I miss that Big G Super Tape vid from years ago? Easy 1.5" in the bull and another 1/2" in Portman. Available in the Bronx only. Works well outside hotels against NYC Stallone sandals. G approoved, er approved. As good as Burby Pretzels sold all over NYC.

Take a Look at the pic at min. 1:00. So to all 5'9" / 5'10" Peak Claimers for Sly.. this pic must liquidate all doubts. Sly never has been near 5'10". Looks more like 5'7" in this pic with Mr. T., although he has camera advatage (stand close to it)looks significantly shorter. Guess this should clear it all.

The slaughtah (NYC accent) house scene with Burt is a beautiful shot of 5' 8.5".
bernie said on 26/Jul/20
@ Davidjr - thats why he is NOT taller than 5'8" Paulie (Burt Young) in for example Rocky I, slaughterhouse scence them walking together, Sly wearing normal shoes, sneakers.
Sly has never been over 5'8" at peak, i'd say 5'7.75" could be even more closer to the truth.
Looks short as well in Rambo I, everyone's taller than him in the police station, although he's wearing those Rambo boots....

Nash said on 20/Jul/20
Hi Rob, solve this mystery plz.
There are many photos of him with his then wife , (6ft+ without heels)Brigitte Nielsen. Brigitte is a woman who made Arnold look short at his peak height(Red Sonja),

Click Here

and compared to how she practically dwarfs her current husband whenever she wears heels,

Click Here

it’s impossible to think that without being at least 5 ft 10, any amount of shoe elevation could have helped Sly look how he did next to her, because she was wearing heels too!

Click Here

Also noting that she was at her peak height when with Sly, would you consider upgrading at least Sky’s peak?
Editor Rob
5ft 9 is probably the lowest I'd go for Stallone and I can see why 5ft 9 and change is arguable for him at times.
James B 172cm said on 20/Jul/20
rob i heard he was like over 210 lbs in the 80s rambo films
Editor Rob
I doubt he was that big
Dmeumyer said on 19/Jul/20
If you look at shoulder level ans take posture into account Iron Mike Will bé no shorter than Sly , but Mike is aleast 177cm today so Sly need 3-4cm extra shoes to look that , so Sly pulled off 5-10 at that even
Canson said on 19/Jul/20
@Viper: you mean today? Or in his prime? His peak was definitely at least 5’8” he wasn’t as low as 5’7.5 back then

Hi Rob, i have a question for you, how do you think of Stallone weight in the cult movie Cobra, in 1986.."? I think he is near the 175 lbs
Editor Rob
I'd say that was a reasonable guess, maybe pushing 180
Frankie68 said on 11/Jul/20
Recent pics of Sly & 5’9 Brother Frank has Sly looking very short (instagram pics) check them out - 5’7 max for me — I personally don’t think Sly lost any height - I simply think he doesn’t wear elevator shoes as much as he used to - He’s under 5’8 no doubt -

Doesn’t actually look even 5-8 next to 5-10 Frank stallone on his recent birthday. Imo he’s 5-7,75 now.
GrandRaw said on 1/Jul/20
I think Sly would be closer to 175 cm. Since in Wesley Snipes section on your site it seems Sly is taller than Statham. Around same height than Snipes in that photo. Though i can see Sly is wearing some thick shoes. Still if we take them away he is still Statham height in that photo. Just my opinion. What do you think? Also i love your site because it is most accurate and precise site about heights.

The behind the scenes footage of Sly from the Rocky films are classic. At 5' 8.5" he's getting owned all over.
Frankie68 said on 9/Jun/20
In recent days ( on instagram) theres been rare footage of behind the scenes of ROCKY 1 and Sly is much shorter than Gazzo who is 5’10 & Rocky is in his famous boots & leather coat — He can’t be over 5’7 without those elevator boots on its mathematically impossible!! 5’7 for me !!
Chinybobs said on 4/Jun/20
I cannot imagine him over 5-8 peak. Looks 2” shorter than Mr T in the behind the scenes pictures of Rocky 3. 5-9 flat is too much.

@cockstride .. I agree with you & to note Sharon Stone is 5’7 (some say 5’6) not the listed height of 5’8 .. & Sly is right with her @ 5’7 ! Watched his movie Backtrace ( horrible) theres a seen of Sly walking down a hall with 5’8 Lydia Hull who is clearly taller than him .. she had a moderate heel on but im sure Sly did as well
Cockstride said on 4/May/20
Watched the specialist last night and then the last Rambo. Love both films. Odd thing not height related is the hairline!! It’s quite receding in the the specialist and then in Rambo it’s at least an inch lower lol. As for his height Sharon Stone and him are pretty close in height. Certainly wasn’t over 5-9 peak.

@ Bradley. Yeah I honestly believe sly if you measured him barefoot he would be 5-8 or more realistically under.

That's right cob. I'd love to see somebody ask Vin or Marky what their height is. Stallone won't stop with the customs. They get exposed huge in beach shots.

@Bradley. Absolutely agree. The media angle on those height liars is now defunct. Too much photo evidence now exposing their silly claims.
Bradley said on 18/Feb/20
Hey cob, back in the day this site was buried in 5' 9" to 5' 10.5" lovers. He was only 5' 8.5" peak. Too many sites stay with the Vin and Sly figures posted by management and themselves. Vin and Marky Mark get exposed.
Bob da cob. said on 18/Feb/20
In his youth he claimed almost 5-11!!! The. 5-10 and so on going shorter lol. The reason he looks like he hasn’t lost much height is simply because he wasn’t that tall to start with. 5-8.5 peak imo. Social media has been a nightmare for these height lairs in recent years lol. Nowhere to hide now so they are getting exposed. Vin Diesel arnie etc etc.

Yet I'm supposed to believe Editor Rob that Sly wore those woman's heels b/c he was as tall as 5'9"... Gimme a break.

Sly was never 5'9" peak height. No one gets pegged as a midget if they're of average height. The fact that ppl on this site can't understand this is laughable.


@Sotiris =I beleave Sly was very probably under 5"9' too.If you read all the comments with pics I posted recently or not,I personally buy a weak 5"8' peak .Sly beeing in good shape for a 73 years old guy ,with a good musculature,I think he just lost a fraction or maybe half an inch by the years.And so I guess him around 5"7.25'/5'7.5' actually.
He looks actually clearly a bit shorter than his brother Franck. Eventually watch the comment/pics I posted in Arnold's page on 7/feb/20 if you want an idea of the real height of Franck next to Tom Sizemore and next compare him to Sly(by considering shoes of course 😉) .Rob posted a pic of Tom next to him and guess him 5"10.25' that seems to me the max he can be by this pic.I personnally guess a weak 5"10' for Tom.
Sotiris,Good find this pic with Sly in massive heels in Nighthawks !
The passionate debate continues!

Some more mighty shoes for the mighty man.

Sly has used Downey Jr. heel and wedge for years. There was an at a podium shot of him years ago where he had the same footwear. He's been doing this for decades. The people eat up his claims. He's a 5' 8.5" peak guy.
Bob da cob. said on 13/Feb/20
Imo he’s 5-9 peak. Now 5-8 or under

Check out an old pic of a maybe 5'7" guy like Robert Downey Jr. next to a maybe 5'9" guy like Mel Gibson -- but with NO lifts... Click Here

Look at that Nighthawks shot! Wow! Classic heeled and wedged custom monsters. This is what he has used for years. Sotiris with a keeper shot! Keep looking Sotiris, that one is a top five.
Pierre said on 10/Feb/20
@Sotiris= First pic = Woaw this heels are looking the same as my mother's heels!
Sotiris Gravas said on 9/Feb/20
Was going to post this a good while ago, but forgot. I only got around to seeing "Nighthawks" (1981) last year. Sly had big heels on in this scene, very big... Click Here

Billy Dee Williams footwear... Click Here

This is them nowadays (2019)... Click Here (Sly is standing on something, giving him a little height boost; mere coincidence, I'm sure... :)


I remember some guys here talking about a Sly wig. This was his wig in "Nighthawks": Click Here

The animal is correct, however; 5' 8.5" was his peak. He's still hanging at 5" 8".

Bradley, not too many 73 old men who have only lost 0.5". Most men by that age have lost up to 1.5". Even if he was 5'8.5" peak, he's under between at best 5'7.5" today. He might be worth $400 million, but he's not immune to father gravity.

But Sly has not the body of many 73 old men,he's very muscular for his age ...Imo he just lost a fraction or maybe half an inch= weak 5"8' peak now around 5"7.5'.

Bradley said on 16/Jan/20
You mean da guy who says he is 6 feet one? Dat means Sly is 5 feet eleven in da photo. Da guy G must be 5 feet 8.
Mikey O' said on 15/Jan/20
And who's that handsome devil standing next to him? You guessed it.......Frank Stallone.
Bob da cob. said on 13/Jan/20
5-8 absolute max today. Under a tiny bit imo.
Michael tosch said on 12/Jan/20
Have any one ever met someone who is 5'7 or5'8 that has a build like his come on he would have to weigh 150lbs to look like he does
Jkiller said on 12/Jan/20
around 173cm now and 174.5cm peak
Pierre said on 7/Jan/20
weak 5"8' peak now strong 5"7' something like that.
Bradley said on 3/Jan/20
Still 5-8. Has cement in his body to stop going to under 5' 8". Sal, more napkins and another Nathan's dog, I'm due up with the Scot in an hour.
burby said on 2/Jan/20
5'7" is silly talk, weak 5'8" 2020.

He was 176cm
lol 176 cm u must be kidding 176 cm barefoot is above average and can look talish at times lol. He was 174.5 cm max
Danimal said on 30/Dec/19
He was never 5'9" let alone 5'10" at his peak height. He was 5'8"-5'8.5" during his prime years. Today, he's lucky if he's 5'7" barefoot at 73 years old. He has you all fooled.
Nik Ashton said on 29/Dec/19
I wonder if he will ever be my height.
RichardSpain said on 28/Dec/19
He was 176cm

Today he is 174cm
Bradley said on 26/Dec/19
5-8 but wait, he might get to 5' 7 3/4" in 20-20. I wonder what he would say himself? 5-10 is my guess.
TheBat said on 25/Dec/19
@Caldonio

I would agree with your estimate. 5'7.75" would be the lowest I see Sly at today.
Caldonio said on 23/Dec/19
He’s impossible to pin down. Wears crazy shoes at times like vin diesel so the real gauge of a flat height is impossible. Looks a lot shorter that Brian in first blood. And at that age he was peak. 5-9 maybe absolutely peak. Now could actually be under 5-8.
175cmandhappy said on 10/Dec/19
Somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10 peak, about 5'8 now.
Bradley said on 4/Dec/19
Escape to a monster heeled wedged victory.
Pierre said on 4/Dec/19
Max weak 5"8' peak now 5"7.25'/5"7.5'.Even young he had some helps in movies like here = Click Here
in this pics "behind the scenes" = Click Here Click Here Click Here inwhich he had probably only classic shoes you can see he never look as tall as 5"9'Eusebio next to Pelé = Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Bradley said on 3/Dec/19
One more movie and his height will be 5' 7 and 3/4". He'll still say 5-10.
Caldonio said on 2/Dec/19
After watching the new Rambo film he looks 5-8 max. Definitely not over it. On a side note his hair looks like a hair system too. It’s so low compared to his 40s and 50s.
Caldonio said on 2/Dec/19
The butthurt for sly fans knowing deep down he was never 5-10 peak. Hilarious. 5-9 peak now struggling with 5-8.
Bradley said on 30/Nov/19
Leroy, you are like me, very correct. I've met him 20+ times in NYC. Most of the people on this site have only met their postman. G. Sal, napkins, I'm due upstairs with the Scot next hour.

He must have stuff that makes the Rambo boot wedge look tame in that shot. They cast the guy on the right correct.

@Bradley = here are Sly's boots next to Henry winkler = Click Here = curiously when he walk fast his ankle(right ankle here) seems to be broken something like six or seven inches higher than the floor as if he had massive helps in his boots....
Caldonio said on 17/Nov/19
His hairline now compared to demolition man is 1” lower. Lol. He gets taller with age and his hair gets lower wtf hahahaha. He’s barefoot nearly 5-8.
