Thank you Hellokitty.no question the man wears lifts.but a 5-7 or 5-8 man would look and walk funny to hit over 6ft.had I not known any better,if I read he was 6ft,Id believe it.the guy is HUGE when I see him.the man is 5-10 and wears lifts to be 6ft,6ft.5.on occasion liftless,looking short next to a liftwearing Mel Gibson,who is between 5-7 and 5-9 himself.or its just a weird pic.we dont know what they are standing on.a step? lets not forget the weirdest Mel photo I saw was him as tall as 6-2 Jim Carrey at an event.obviously Mel was on a step or 2!

Mean height for males in the USA is 5'9.1". For females it's 5'3.8". I know people think it's higher, but those are the latest statistics. "Average" height is more like a range of heights & involves a judgement call. :-)

i once read in an article on a website slysgym.com not sure if the website still exists, but in the article sly stated that for the rocky films he was 178 in the 1st, then 201, 163, and 173 for the following movies. in my opinion, myself being 5 9, i doubt sly can look that bulky, especially in rocky 4 at 173, when i am 175 at 5 9 and don't look close to slys bulkiness.

Glenn - In the pictures from Stallones 60's party you'll see that Sly is the same height as Arnold, Arnold on the same party is 1,5 inch taller than John Travolta, John Travolta is towering Sly in flats while Sly is wearing Cowboy boots, strange isn't it? The guy isn't more than 5,8 that's for sure.

5'10" isn't actually pretty tall or above average height HelloKitty. Average height for a man is between 5'9" and 5'10" nowadays. So, IF he is that tall, then he is "average".

I'm confused. A lot of pictures show stallone varying in height from short to towering over everyone. If he's 5'10 he is actually pretty tall above average height. That guy from the Italian Job who said he was the real napster looked like he is 5'7, and if he wore special shoes making him 4 inches taller, it would be obvious and he would look like a short guy with long legs, fat feet and short arms. Stallone doesn't look like that standing next to other six foot celebrities, he looks well proportioned, even with his supposed "lifts." As I never met him, I am inclined to believe Glenn.

HelloKitty, Stallone's footwear these days are extremely well designed, not like in previous decades where he braved blocky heels to compensate for his short stature Click Here
Look at the picture above and the trainers he's wearing Click Here - just looking at them alone wont make you suspect much, maybe an inch or inch and a half extra than normal shoes, BUT when you compare them to regular 1.5inch shoes on the bald guy next to him, only then do you realise how large they really are, almost three times the size.
His trainers are very well and proportionately made to serve the dual purpose of significantly boosting his small stature and at the same time disguising themselves as being relatively normal. And credit to Sly and his millions, he seems to have achieved that.

I think that Dennis Hopper is about 5'8" or 5'7.5 now. Sly is and was 5'9.5(176cm) but with about 3 inches, in total, of lifts, in that pic he looks 6ft+(with shoes on).

That post from Ziggy is another mystery...hmmmmm. Stallone's footwear looks normal without a "high" heel and doesn't look like what others have dubbed "Munster". If there is lifts in them maybe an inch or two. Stallone looks tall, towering over Johnny Brendan and Dennis Hopper, looks like a solid 5'11" or 6'0" in those normal flat sneakers. Hmmmm?

Chris - you can't. Mine are custom-made, the only way to go! There is nothing available commercially that will give more than a net height increase of about 3" without severe modifications.

Hopper is now 5-7.Sly is no shorter than 5-9 now with a peak of 5-10.not cause I love him,which I do,but cause I met him many times which none of you did.and he always looks 6ft! 5-7 guys cant pull that off walking down the street in low cut casual or dress shoes.

Interestingly, Hulk Hogan who was 6'7 at his peak during Rocky III was said to be 7' as "Thunderlips" and sure looks it here:
Click Here
Either The Hulkster was standing on a box, or supposedly 5'11 Rocky was really only 5'7. BTW, I once read somewhere that Sly trimmed down to as low as 160lbs in Rocky III to look extra cut:
Click Here
Just goes to show never trust movie shots for height references. I've always been in the 5'8.5 / "weak" 5'9 camp for Sly, although don't deny he could have once been a little taller in his prime. Not shorter though, because no one would have ever casted a 5'7 dude to play the heavyweight champion of the world, even Sly himself and those funding Rocky wouldn't have agreed to that (they probably would have instead portrayed himself as a middleweight a la "Raging Bull" DeNiro). I've noticed 3 kinds of people on this thread and a recurring trend: obvious "Sly fans" who say he's 5'9.5 or more, "Sly haters" who say he's shorter than 5'8 and those who've shown an open mind to sway their opinions to whatever is apparently the truth. And those folks seem to all end up saying 5'8.5. Here's an interesting photo from a long-time forgotten oldie with Sly: "Lords of Flatbush":
Click Here
This movie was made in 1974 "pre-Rocky" and I'm betting "pre-lifts" as Sly was a relative unknown back then. He was probably at his peak height too. The fellow in the foreground is Henry "The Fonz" Winkler who's only 5'6 according to this site but he's too far in the foreground from sly to gauge them from that photo. The fellow to to the left of Sly may provide us with some clues though (although he is slightly closer to the foreground than Sly). Hmmmmm.........??????????

Mike, Arnold is no longer 220 pounds today. He's Max 210. The last time he stated he was 215 was in 1991. He is nowhere near as large as that today. He no longer has any real muscle to speak of. He's fairly lean. He very well could way 190 or less today. I read reports that he was down to 180 pounds in the mid to late 90's. Not sure if I believe that though. I'd like to see this guy gob back up to 230-250 pounds. I wonder if he could even do it nowadays?

I will go on record on first had sighting that Sly definitely is wearing his custom sneakers with at least 4" lifts in this because I personally know Johnny Brendan who's about 5-10. I wear 4.75" lifts and am perhaps an inch taller than Johnny with them and I'm 5-7. There's no way Sly would tower over him or 5-9 Dennis Hopper without lifts! He is a master at hiding them though with the jeans covering them. This is an art! Check it out:

in regards to stallone's weight, his body image does change alot from movie to movie depending on his role, but his current weight would depend on his actual true height,..... if sly is really only 5'7 to 5'8 then i'd guess he weighs somewhere in the 170's,if he's 5'8 to 5'9 low 180's, if he's 5'9 to 5'10 id say 185 to 195, the same thing is true for schwarzenegger, ive seen the youtube clips with him on letterman always claiming he's 215-220, well one thing is for sure he's def at least 3 inches taller then stallone, and his body mass is alot bigger/wider, arnold is one of the few people whos over 6 feet and has that much muscle while only supposively weighing 220, but arnold's height is more clear/closer then stallone's, for stallone' height i can honestly see him being barely 5'8 up to 5'9.5 currently, i couldnt take a guess for him, no way, especially after hearing frank and glenns estimates, regardless of sly's height, lifts have made him taller for pictures

I sincerely doubt that Sly is 200 pounds today. He averaged between 160-177 during his career (with exception to Copland, where he went up to 212, from 172 before filming). He could be up to about 190 pounds now, but I doubt that much. In Rocky 1 they listed him as 190 (he looked it). He had A LOT more mass without the cuts. In Rocky II they listed him at like 201-202, which was B.S. Guaranteed he was under 180 for that movie. For Rocky 3 he was maybe 170-175 and the same for Rocky 4. Rocky 5, which came out in 1990 (not 1991) he was a bit heavier again.

Sly is looking right around 2oolbs these days. I really think he looks best in the high 170's or low 180's. I think he prolly looked best in Rambo III. The body type he is sporting in Rocky 6 looks a little to roided up for my liking. It is amazing how his body changes from one movie to another.

Muscle weighs considerably more than fat, so even though one individual may look slimmer than the next, its quite possible he weighs more as he has more muscle.
The weight (or more technically correct mass) of an individual is also influenced by quite an extent by bone density, hence again two individuals who might look the same size may show considerable weight differences.
Basically, weight is really a very poor indicator/estimator of height.
btw, Sly said in a recent interview he was 'holding steady at 196'.

The thing is, Sly's weight is comprised of lean muscle, with probably a very low bodyfat count, which would contribute to him not weighing so much on the scale. I'm great at guessing one's weight.

I think that Sly was 5'9.5 and now is still 5'9.5. He didn't shrink. Some dress shoes that Stallone wears can increase his height of about 2.5 inchs, no more!!! 1.25 exterior heel and 1.25 interior.They are low cut!!! I say this because finally, today, I know for sure who is his shoemaker and I have also recognised the shoes!

Editor Rob height is hard enough, weight is so fluctuating that I'd have no time for such a thing...
year+ ago in that 'height proof' pic I think I was hovering somewhere in 175lbs region...
Now in july 2006 - see tyson page for recent full pic (although you can't tell really) - I am at 11st 2lbs, or 156lbs.

See the thing is guys, its frustrating cause I never see him munster shoes,and I keep telling you this.dress or casual shoes.looking between 5-11 and 6ft.5.cause he is 5-10 in his youth, possibly smaller now.I guess when he is in his munsters he must be over 6ft.a few of you have this annoying fixation on these munster shoes when I see him near 6ft in casual low cut shoes.its like a broken record repeating this.a couple of you are downright ignorant.

No vendetta, he is one of my favorite actors. I have much respect for what he has made out of his life. Sly is in great shape and looks amazing for a sixty year old man. I just happen to believe he is 5'8. I am not a 5'8 guy trying to mke myself feel better with this claim, i'm 6'2 and weigh 225lbs. Looking forward to Rocky 6.

Glenn, Vaj is right actually, throughout the entire series one of the Contender there wasnt a single occasion where Sly wasnt wearing either the black or brown versions of the Munster trainers Rob has pointed out above.

I will say this in the rockys Stallone is for sure 174/175cm range IMO. But now with the (LIFTS) out he now appears to be around the 180cm region. But this is due to the shoes not becuase he is that tall. That IMO has confused people on how tall he is. In the rockys he doesnt even look near 5,10. Due to big shoes and a well trained posture he now looks as tall as 5,11 IMO.

Sorry her dad did not come over this weekend, but he is coming over during the week. He did say he would bring the picture and I will post it on here as soon as I get it.
By the way I was watching the Contender marthon this weekend on espn. Sly wore huge black shoe which were obvious that they were lifts. I can not believe he is not embarresed wearing those ridiculous shoes.

so, both brigit Nielsen and Jenifer Flavin said Sly is 5.9.
no need to have more proof
the Man is definiteley NOT Short
he can appear short for tall people or because he's Bulky, big chest but he's truly not short.

If that picture with stallone and jennifer is accurate, than it looks like stallone is 5'8" to 5'9". For arguments sake, let's say stallone was 5'10" in his prime and shrunk as much as 1.0 to 1.5 inch, maximum 2 inch shrinkage with age. If Glenn were to take a picture today with stallone wearing flats, they both should be the same or close in height. However, if a 5'8" to 5'9" Stallone wearing flats still appear to be two inches taller than Glenn, then Glenn is not really 5'8" but rather 5'6" and all the other celebrities he has taken pictures with would have to have their heights re-adjusted. Just something to think about.

Vaj I have to agree with you. also take into account that although stallone's leg is slightly bent, he is closer to the camera, as jennifer is to his left and a step behind.......and would make stallone appear a fraction taller in the picture.

vaj - Sly wears minimum the exact same heel/lifts as his wife in that pic I think even bigger, he is standing taller on the road than her too. So if his wife is 5'9, Sly is 5'7 in that pic. But it isn't a good pic som he could be taller if the picture was in front of them.

megatron,
That pic with his wife is a great comparison.

Sly barefooted is 5'8" with those shoes 5'9.25"
Wife barefooted is 5'9" with 2" heels 5'11". take an 1" from her heel to compare with Slys shoes she is 5'10" still taller than him.
I am not fooled by flavin smaller head or leaner body. Slys leg is little bent but so is hers. Don't try to make any excuses she is clearly at least 2" taller or more.
I can see by that pic why many people are so surprised about how short he is in person.
My girlfriends father is bring the picture of him and Sly this weekend which I will post. My girlfriends father stands 5'7" barefooted and 5'8.25" in shoes. He met Sly in Mexico and say Sly was the same height or a little shorter.
I do not believe he shorter but around 5'8". I will also take a picture with my girlfriends father to compare and post it as well.

"Anthony-you do realise he can appear to be 6ft or more in public pretty often.easy for a man thats 5-9,5-10.not under."
Yes I do realize that. I can see him being 5'9. Certainly looks it with you.
BTW, I read somewhere that in "Rocky IV", they did in some scenes make Dolph look even bigger than he really was because the film was supposed to have David & Goliath kind of theme going on. Even so, in real life, Dolph would pretty much tower of Stallone, no matter how tall Stallone really is.
I think he was, as someone said, 5'9 when he was younger. 5'8 1/2 now. Of

Nolifts81,
This is starting to get ridiculous, Cindy Crawford said her self she is 5'8" on Jay Leno.You do not think she knows her own height?. Richard Gere maybe 5'10" I am just repeating what she said on the Tonight Show that she is 5'8" and Gere is not that much taller than her repeat that is what she said NOT ME!
Most people when are measured usually include their shoes in height for example someone who is 5'8" barfooted and in shoes are 5'9" will say they are 5'9".
I am not hear trying to downsize celeb's height I am just trying to point out their real heights.

No way Cindy Crawford is 5'8"!!! She is 5.9.5 (176cm). She is listed anywhere at 176 cm. She starred in an Italian movie called"Bodyguards" with actor Massimo Boldi. In 2 scenes they were both barefeet and she was a little bit taller than Boldi, about 0.5 inch. Massimo Boldi is for sure 5'9". So I am sure that Cindy Crawford is 5'9.5. Beetween Sly and Claudia Schiffer there is the same exact difference than Claudia Shiffer and Cindy Crawford. So Sly is 5'9.5 (176cm). I'm saying this from years!P.S. No way Richard Gere is 5'9". He is 5'10.5 or nearly 5'11".He hasn't lose height with the age!

HelloKitty,
Great pic's, if Sly's wife is listed as 5'9" on her website Sly looks 5'8".
Sly is not looking so tall as 5'11" or 6' more like his height of 5'8".
That is why he is so famous of being short.

You have a good point there My2Cents, with that picture with the high heels, the designer also added thickness to the toe area to add inches to the heel and not create any necessary pain or discomfort when standing and walking, still a sore to wear. It is unlikely to have a shoe-maker create "special shoes" to be even equivalent or close to height enhancing as those high heels do without having the "stealth" effect. Three inch lifts + heels sounds about right.

MY2Cents,
Cindy Crawford said herself that she is 5'8" on Jay Leno talkshow. They were talking about her ex-husband Richard Gere (actor) and she said I am 5'8" and he is about 1" taller than me.
Why would she lie about her height?
That makes sense that Sly is around her height.

A few random things:
o Just realized something important: the "bent/compressed spine". Notice in Avedon's photo how Sly's spine "bends" more than Schiffer's:
Click Here
That could even bolster Sly's height by another 1", but Claudia's not straightened out either, so they may even out, or Sly may have a net-gain of 0.5" at most since he's a little more bent than Claudia. But I'd also like to take this back to the photo with DeNiro:
Click Here
Notice Sly's left side is lowered quite a bit? It's a little tricky to tell, but I suspect he's in a very "leaned/bent" stance to his left side just as he was in the Avedon photo, with spine bent to one side and left-leg possibly bent/relaxed too. His stooped neck alone could account for another 1" or so. DeNiro probably also has the same disadvantages, but this all adds up to an inaccurate photo to use for height comparison to begin with, if not seeing their feet and legs wasn't bad enough ...
o Anthony, keep in mind Dolph Lundgren is 6'5". Even at the non-flattering camera-angle, a 5'7" Sly would be under Dolph's chin with a 10" difference, just look at 6'1" Arnie with 6'11" Andre The Giant:

Hey Felix,
thanks for that tip on the Rocky extra footage, I'll check it out when I purchase the Rocky DVD collection one day .. but you may wanna take a look at some movie footage from Rocky on youtube.com also (Sly's account of Weathers' audition was pretty funny):

In the fighting footage, both men looked every bit their height to me. Remember, if Sly was 5'9.5" in his peak and Carl Weathers was 6'1.5", that's a *4 INCH DIFFERENCE* and that's HUGE! But it certainly doesn't mean Sly is short!

HelloKitty,
I know what you're getting at in saying "anything's possible". But Unlike Shakira, Sly wants to "stealthily" increase his height without being detected. I think Shakira already openly admits to being tiny, her 7" heels would look something like this:
Click Here
and she wouldn't wear them so discretely and wouldn't care if anyone notices.
Sly's lifts on the other hand, are about "hiding" the fact that he's wearing lifts, which would mean 3" lifts + 1.5" heel max!

My 5'10 uncle says he saw Stallone and says he's 5'7. He didn't get a picture with him (I'm not sure if he even talked to him).
In reality, I think Stallone is a litte taller than that.
I'm going to state something similar to what someone said about 5'11 Brad Pitt on his page:
Stallone boosts his height with lifts and elevator shoes, much like Tom Cruise and other actors who are said to be short.. However, I personally think Stallone can pass as a taller man much easier than most because as stated his posture is excellent and he has a pretty good physique.
His height does fluctuate between movies, though. Seeing him with Dolph Lundgren in "Rocky IV", I would've guessed him to be even lower than 5'7.
Click Here
But if anything, the camera angle is probably in Dolph's favor.
Stallone comes up to Lundgren's nose in this shot:

Personally, I think 5'8 1/2 is bang on for Sly.

Those shots prove nothing, they are promo pics and can be subjected to digital edition, special footwear, camera angles...such crap.
If Crawford is 5'8" (Wich i don't rule out) she looks taller compared to 5'11" Claudia Schiffer (Some say 181 or 182cm for her), so not proven point via those pics.
That picture of your girlfriend's father with him would be fine here.
Other than that Glenn sounds to me as honest man, he normally is accurate and if he says Sly looked a certain height doesn't imply he's that, but that he takes good care of his image.

Leung,
If I was insecure about my height I would turn to wearing lifts which I don't. You do not have to be famous to look short either you are or not. I am not tall but I am comfortable with my height,I am average in shoes at 5'10.25" many think I am 5'11".
I am a huge fan of Sly's and I am not trying to down size him to boost my own self esteem. Many people who have seen him usually see him with his shoes on and trust me he has some type of lifts if he is either wearing his low cut shoes or huge trainers.
The reason I am so convinced he is 5'8" barefooted b/c the people who know him best all claim he is. His own sister who is 5'9" says he is shorter than her, my own friend who lived with Sly and seen him barefooted many times claimes he is 5'8". How do you explain all those short sight come as low as 5'7"?
My girlfriends father is 5'7" and met Sly in Mexico and claims he was the same height as him. He took a picture with Sly which I will ask him if I can post it on this site and I will take one with him too and also post it on this site to compare heights.
Megatron,
Nice pic's!
By the way Cindy Crawford is 5'8" she said so on Jay Leno talk show.

The THING I keep coming back to in my own mind is HOW the heck could someone do more than "shamble" in 4-5 inch lifts, elevators, or whatever? :-) In the Universal Monster Classics they increased the height of the actors by 6", but LOOK at how they moved. And (in any long shots) the big boots were obvious. Glenn Strange BROKE his ankle while they were filming Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein DUE to those boots. Maybe I'm missing something here.

The picture with DeNiro and Sly is very FAR from conclusive, we can't see their feet so no telling what they're both standing on, their footwear, maybe Deniro wears lifts too? etc... plus they both have poor hunched-over postures which really distorts height. In some of the Rocky IV footage, Rocky only looked 3 inches shorter than 6'5" Drago when both of them were in "crouching" boxing stances (when they were really 7" difference). Sorry guys, not even close to "closing the case" with that one ...
About comparing people on talk-shows, all I have to say is that I have eyes, and when two people are very close in height standing straight right next to each other shaking hands (Sly and Letterman), I (and most people) can tell to a reasonable degree that they were both almost the same height - it was a no-brainer. Maybe if there was a 3 inch or more difference it'd be trickier, but I assure you they were VERY close (within an inch). And yes, I'll acknowledge Sly probably needed "the big guns" lifts to accomplish that, but even a 5'10" guy would need to look 6'2" in shoes to look close to Dave's height = 3" lifts + 1" heel. It'd be real tough, if not impossible for a 5'7" to 5'8" guy to pull that off.
And according to Editor Rob's photo, even exceeding 2" lifts (not including 1" heel) starts get real ridiculous, which is why I speculate Sly's "big guns" are probably 4.5" and would have 3" lifts (plus 1.5" heel) max! But he'd rarely wear those, and they're probably made with Nasa technology or whatever!
I think some of you are missing the point here .. like I said, I don't think anyone is denying Sly wears lifts, it's MORE than a irrevocable FACT at this point, it's just some believe all he wears are his "munsters", where others are pointing out that he can still appear a decent height even with 1" lifts.
If he were only 5'7" and ALWAYS needed 4.5" munsters to appear 5'11.5" in shoes (and thus fooling people into thinking he's 5'10.5" barefoot):
i) He'd never be able to look taller than 6" (but has, next to Bruce Willis, Arnie, Letterman, etc...).
ii) ALL of his boxing scenes would appear like "a hobbit fighting an orc" and would require CGFX to "correct" them!

Every pic that I have posted has proven my point that he is as short as 5'8".
I am not ignorant, I just know for a sure like I have said my friend knows Sly very very well barefooted and still claims he is only 5'8".Too many short as short as 5'7" sightings proves me right.
I am 5'9" barefooted and well built and I have never been accussed of being short as 5'7" vis versa many think I am 5'10" to 5'11" in shoes.
By the way I am sorry I ran into Ahmed not Ali from the Sly's reality show The Contender.

Vaj your pics comparing stallone and deniro and then glenn and stallone are compelling evidence, hmmm.......makes one wonder stallone's true height and size of his lifts. Felix where did you find that pic with stallone wearing those dorky looking shoes? Lifts would be the least of stallone's problems, with all the billions of dollars he has wouldn't he have a shoe maker company like Ecco, Vans, Nike, Gucci, or even the O.J Bruno Magli's create his "famous footwear." Looks like he walked off with those loaner shoes from the bowling alley.

Editor Rob - This is the same type of big trainers that the picture we have on topic where he is sitting next to another guy. The shoes Sly wears are bigger than normal shoes and it's absolutley possible that it could be 3 inches there.

My2Cents,
You can not compare really someone on a show. For example on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno the comedian Howy Mendel came out and they seemed to be the same height maybe Leno a little taller. But when the were interviewed them close up on the red carpet a different time Leno was clearly 2" taller.
And yes you do have point about keeping in mind everyone else is wearing shoes so that is when he pulls out the BIG GUNS(larger lifts) he can appear taller.
Whats funny is I ran into Ali from Sly's reality show Contender and Ali claimed on his show that he was 6'1". I liked watching that show and I rutted for Ali because he lives in Houston Tx, I run into him at the mall and I was shocked because he was only 1" taller than me making him 5'11.25" in shoes. I told him about this sight and he laughed and said Sly was his height but he wore larger than normal trainers gestering he had elevator shoes.

Come on guys us your common sense. Let us use the picture above with supposably 5'8" Glenn to prove my point.
Sly above is looking tall next to 5'8" Glenn because he has at least 2" lifts.
Now Glenn standing next to Robert Deniro. Deniro is looks 1/2" taller.

Rocky's shoes look normal to me!
As for Claudia Schiffer, if there's any conclusive proof that she's 6' or very close to it, then I'll be totally sold that Sly is a solid 5'9", perhaps even 5'9.5" on a good day. I know a lot famous tall ladies often try to downgrade their heights in order not to appear too "freakishly tall". For instance, Maria Sharapova is something like 6'2" but tells the press she's only 6'. Elle MacPherson is 6' but often tells the press she's only 5'11". Speaking of Elle, since Claudia, her and a few other supermodels run their "Fashion Cafe" thing, wonder if there's any good photos with Claudia together with Elle, that would be a great chance at determining whether Claudia is infact, a solid 6-footer ...
Vaj, I know what you're saying, but if a 5'9" guy wants to convince everyone he's 5'10", he must actually ensure he appears 5'11" in shoes not just 5'10", cos you gotta keep in mind everyone else is wearing shoes too, so that's where "magic shoes" comes in.
But I've seen Sly even taller than 5'11" in shoes, I've seen him within an inch or even half an inch of 6'1.5" Dave Letterman on The Late Show .. seriously!

Glenn,
You claim you and many others are being realistic, but in fact you are just as confused about Sly's height as you are about your own height. You have claimed here that you are 5'8" but that at night you are as short as 5'7.25" and some times you are as tall as 5'10".
Man you shrink down 3/4" almost a full inch and then gain 1 3/4".
You must make appointments to your doctor early in the mornings to scrap ever cm. to record you as 5'8" but if you are as short as 5'7.25" at night then that is your real height.

I still can not believe so many people are still fooled. Wake up people if Sly claims on his website or myspace.com that he is only 5'10", why would he have to wear large platform shoes? I know because he is only 5'8" and is trying to convince people he 5'10".
If he was really 5'9" barefooted and with regular shoes would make him 5'10 .25" and if he was really 5'10" barefooted with regular shoes he would be 5'11.25" . There would be no reason for him to wear Munster shoes because he is advertising himself as 5'10" not 6' or 6'1".
This is starting to get ridiculous!

My2Cents- you are right about the heights estimations.Lundgren is 7 inches taller than Sly in boxing trainers. One thing I can assure you: those boxing trainers are 100% normal!!!. Believe me! I've seen that fight at least 20 times and I have stopped each time Sly's trainer were in evidence. I know too much well lifts and elevator shoes from many many years.There's nothing in that trainers. If there was also a little lift inside,I mean 1 inch max, his trainers should appears a little bigger than normal, instead they appears very stylish. In that match he runs costantly, and did a lot of very fast lateral movement. Is quite impossible do very fast lateral movements with lifts inside without appearing funny. Is impossible have the stability in the fast lateral movement when you wear lifts, yes I mean also 1 inch lifts. I always realize when there is a lift inside a shoe.In this case, those boxing trainer are 100% normal.P.S. Felix- Claudia Shiffer is for sure 182cm(5'11.75) and 128lbs. In that pic Stallone doesn't look 4 inches shorter than Claudia Schiffer. There are 2 good inches of difference, or max 2.5 inchs. Stallone can't be under 5'9.5. He is at least 176 cm!

Felix, I'm not arguing that Rocky didn't wear lifts in fighting Drago in Rocky IV, in fact I agree with you and have mentioned that I'm VERY sure he did, it's just that those shoes looked pretty "normal" to me on countless frames where I paused the movie with a clear view of his feet. So I speculate maybe only 1-1.5" extra inside lifts, not including the regular running shoe heel. He did lots of rigourous lateral movements and running in many of those shots, like charging into Drago, etc.. so probably couldn't use very big "munster trainers" ...
And you've asked for the clearest pic of barefoot Sly - the best thing I've ever seen was the Richard Avedon semi-nude photo of Sly next to Claudia Schiffer:
Click Here
It's been debatable whether Claudia is 5'11" or a solid 6', so assuming she's 5'11.5" and using that photo to interpolate Sly's height from Schiffer (you can do this exercise to see for yourself) roughly yields a barefoot Sly height of 5'8.5".
Nobody is doubting you in Sly wearing lifts .. infact, if there's only ONE thing certain about this whole entire thread, it's the fact that he DOES wear lifts, the question really has been how big they are/aren't?

i think mister T have shrink since the 80's...
he was really taller than sly (about 2 inch) and was 5.11 i think. Sly is and has always been 5.9 (little more 20 years ago)

Here's Rocky and Drago's face-to-face (or "face-to-chest" rather) similar to the one with Clubber Lang / Mr. T:
Click Here
The top of Sly's head lines up with the bottom of Dolph Lundgren's nose ...
Felix - can't see Sly as short as 5'7" (10"+ difference with 6'5" Dolph), otherwise he'd only be up to Dolph's chin. To get an idea of what a 10" difference is, check out 6'1" Arnie next to 6'11" Andre The Giant:
Click Here
TheMan - I've seen Mr. T at a comic-convention before and he's not all that tall, about 5'10" I'd say. I think they may have bolstered his height in that shot with Rocky to make him look a more menacing villain. His head is as big as Sly's suggesting a heroic build, but we all know Mr. T has a stocky build, so he's probably shorter than he appears in that shot, especially seeing how short his neck is compared with Rocky's.
Nolifts81 - I agree, the face-to-face with Dolph also suggests a 7" difference (5'10" Sly), but knowing Sly and his "lifting ways" I can't possibly see him *not* wearing lifts in his boxing shoes for Rocky IV, especially in facing a 6'5" guy who was almost rejected for the casting being deemed "too tall" for the part (read Dolph Lundgren's height thread). But you're also right, in that Sly's shoes did appear pretty normal in Rocky IV, so even if there were lifts, they were pretty minimal, probably 1-1.5" or so ...

I have to agree with My2Cents. Stallone barefoot, on a good day with stretches, good posture, he is a "strong" 5'8" but a "weak" 5'9" which averages to 5'8.5".

You can see the 3cm diffrence in the pic. T isnt even standing straight and has a clear height advantage. There could even be 4.5cm diffrence if T was straight.

I don't think stallone can be shorter than 5,9 though 175-176cm id say. If he was 5,10 in he's prime he would of been just barly in the morning perhaps. See if Mr Ts 5,10 aswell T would be 179cm. Whilst stallone would be about 176/177cm he would be rounding up to 5,10 but he would still in theory be 5,9 and a half. There was 3 cm between the two for sure. Stallone is 176cm 175 most of the time. 176cm max. It's proved in the showndown in rocky 3.

that boxing shoes were 100% normal! Dolph Lundgren is about 6'5" and looks a good 7 inches taller than Sly. No way Stallone is less than 5'9.5!

Yeah, In swedish television we have a program "High Chaparall" where they in one episode interviewed Brigitte Nielsen and she had "now" then now maybe i don't know a very short boyfriend and they talked about it, then they talked about her time with Sylvester and the interviewer said: Ohh, another short-guy right? and Brigitte answers: Yeah, I just find it I'm to tall
Something like that.... I can't remember exactly but it was like that.
I say 5'8 absolutley MAX but i think a tad under...5'7-5'8 and we're right on, what do you think guys?

You are right slysystem when you talk about friend that barefoot seems to be short.It's real when you are still in shoes and one of your friend is barefoot you have the sensation that he is short!Even normal shoes can cause this sensation, try to imagine when someone take off his elevator shoes.That's why Frank had the impression that Sly was 5'7"!!!

Today, in an Italian television program "Sipario" Brigitte Nielsen (sly ex wife) has said:-"Sly is not short, this is a stupid legend, he is 5'9", all men compared to me look short!" She has said, also, that she hated Sly and his Mother for about 15 years but now things are changed. I think that Stallone is more 5'9.5 but if she say 5'9",maybe she is right.P.S. Maybe half inch is not noticeable.

Nothing Wrong. Had Drago been 5'10 it would have taken away from him being the Big red russian machine. It is the extras that are in scenes with Stallone that are selected smaller in stature. The villians are usually bigger than Sly. Who wants to see a 5'8 170lb pound "Heavyweight" beat on a 5'7 guy. It would not be Rocky then. I think Stallone weighed in anywhere from 168lbs to 175lbs in RockyIII. 5'8 max

something WRONG
I've read somewhere that Stallone cast shorter co-stars to appears taller.
It's completely FALSE...All his opponents in Rocky movies are taller than him in real life (from Roc 1 to Roc 5 and even roc 6)!
In Rambo, the sherif is taller, Trautman also and they're big Guys in every day life !
In Driven, Sly casted co stars bigger than him like Kip Pardue...
I don't understand why people like to say this kind of false Statements...

slysystem: SO what?? If Sly is really 5'10 that is 178 cm. Carl is 186 cm. Ok lets give him a full inch advantage for the heels he is wearing...So we are at 6 2 and 1/2 for which is around 189 cm for Carl. Now posture plays a role but do you see only a 11 cm difference? Come on!!!! The diffrence is at least 15 cm. So for me the probability Sly being 5'10 is near 0. The tallest he ever was and will be barefoot is 5'9". But I honestly I think the guy is 5'8.5" on the dot with amzing body proportions plus 20 years ago he had one of the best bodies on TV ever. He wears amazing lifts and special shoes plus has developed a walking and standing posture that is more than perfect. The guy is the best. Period.

In the movie Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger is obviously about two or three inches taller than Carl Weathers in their isolated scenes together....? btw, if the shoes in my picture gives a "big" difference then remember Sly wears 4 inch soles and that's alot!!! Ig he's soles were that small in the pic he would look even shorter.

to frank you said :
"I was a lot taller than him when he took off his boots? I'm 5'11" and I was wearing normal shoes when I saw him barefoot. There is no way on earth that he's anywhere near being 5'10". ""
i understand now why yoy say he was only 5. 7 !
Each time that i'm in a locker room, i'm suprised to see how short people are when they are barefoot (when i'm in shoes myself)(even those i considered tall !!).
I think that when we are in shoes we tend to underrate height of people who are barefoot.
did you notice this impression too ?
the best way to compare still to be barefoot too.

Now more than ever, I'm really starting to believe my 5'8.5" (173.5 cm) guestimate was right on:
Click Here
5'8.5" (with perhaps morning height of 5'9") seems to be the height that can support all the ultra-short 5'7"-5'8" sightings while also apeasing those in the 5'9"-5'10" camp. Plus if Carl Weathers is 6'1"-6'2", that photo looks just about right. If Sly was only 5'7" or less in that pic, there would be too many 5'-5'3" guys, which would be highly unlikely.

nolifts81 - as far as I'm aware, there isn't anything manufactured for mass market that will give men anything more than 3" net other than the obvious platform-type footwear. If there is, let us know. Again, you have to go custom. I would think there would be many good bootmakers in Italy. After all, you guys are the best when it comes to skins, designs, and old-school artisans. Anyone knows that after having custom work, nothing compares; that stuff on the net is garbage.

Weezer, it is a known fact that extras that are selected to be in Stallones movies are not to exceed 5'6 in height. The guys in that pic look very short. The little guy to the far left looks 5'2-5'3. I am pretty sure Burgess Meredeth is shorter than 5'6 in that pic. Sly does look 5'8 in that pic. Prolly wearing same footwear that made him appear slightly shorter than Paulie that were posted a while back. Good work on the chart Vaj.

That pic is very obvious that Sly is short, like my friend Lee who knows him better than anyone on this site because he lived with him 3 years and seen him many times without shoes claims he is only 5'8", as well as his on 5'9" sister claimed he is shorter than her.
Sly barefooted= 5'8"
Sly regular shoes(1.25" heel)=5'9.25"
Sly elevator shoes (1.25"heel& 1"hidden lift)= 5'10.25"
Sly Muster trainers (1.5" heel & 1.5" lift)= 5'11"
Sly with Muster trainers and stretching military poster =5'11.5"
Is it starting to make sense that in the picture he looks short because he is and now it is clear why there are so many short sightings of him.
But it is your right if you want to try to convince yourself he is taller than he really is. He does a good job fooling people but not me!

Correct slysystem. Sly is in boxing trainers with 0.5inch, Apollo is in dress shoes 1 or 1.25 inch.However Carl was almost 6'2" in his prime. So Sly can't be under 5'9.5. If you want to know who is really Nolifts81, this is my space:www.myspace.com/arcangelo81

it's not a good way to compare both height's !
apollo creed is in shoes while Rocky is in boxing trainers in that Pic. that gives an extra 1 inch to Apollo at least.
Car Weathers/Apollo is Tall, he's 6.1...so Sly can be 5.9 again even with that Pic guys !

Hey ziggy, what tipe of elevator boots(watching the most important companie's model on the net) I have to buy for put inside extra lift. I know that for to be exactly 4 inches taller the instep should be at about 4.75inchs.I won't a model with an exterior heel taller than 1.25!

I'm 5-7 in the am and 5-6.5 in the pm; the lifts in my dress boots make me as tall as my 6' friend wearing normal slip-ons. I am still perfecting my design even further. You change one millimeter of anything and you have to change everything again. This is truly a process, but worth it if it makes you feel good. I've gotten the comfort level to the point that I don't even feel I'm wearing elevated footwear, using specially-designed foam inserts with memory in conjunction with gel-based orthotics; it actually makes me stand with better posture. I wish I could mass market.

stallone gets criticized alot for his height, is he really 5'7 to 5'8 like many people claim??? Maybe but seriously how on earth can he be the same height as 6 foot denzel washington in pics, obviously he has bigger shoes then him, but he would need to have like a 3 inch shoe height advantage which would be hard to do i guess and stallone claims he's 5'10 back in the day, who knows maybe he's shrunk an inch or so, although we'll prolly never know

@ziggy: i've looked at the pictures of your custom shoes in the other section and must say that these look really good. i don't like the gator-leather (personally i think that "normal" black leather would look better but thats a personal preference as i'm more into elegant/casual wear) but the shape and all... i would never guess that there are magic lifts inside that give you 4 inches :D
maybe i'll check out my local shoemaker the next days and see if he can do something.

To answer previous questions: It would be very diffficult for me to "sell" my designs since I hire a custom shoemaker that I've been working with for now over 3 years and have done over 20 prototypes if that tells you anything. You simply cannot do mass market assembly-line crap for this sort of thing like Richlee or any of the others, as it's so highly customized if you want the max height and the shape to look fashion forward. I wish it could be otherwise.
I walk normal, as I've mastered the art of the "elevator walk" (I've been wearing lifts for 30 years), but I don't wear them daily; only for a few hours when I'm out on the town in public. When I'm on the down low, I don't wear lifts at all and my friends are friends that either don't notice, don't care, or have even said anything. My legs look normal and I wear extra wide pant bottoms to cover the thickness of the instep area. If I can do it, then the celebs with millions obviously can.

@ziggy: but is possible to walk normal and do you're daily tasks in these shoes without walking awkward? also, don't your legs look unusually long? i've noticed this on some pictures of vin "prince of elevator shoes" diesel and his arm/leg-ratio look off when he's standing next to other actors of his (lifted) height.

Yes, I know anonymous. The game was very nervous, a lot of expulsions,and the USA team were in excellent conditions. Our best player "Francesco Totti" comes from a complicate knee injuries and he cannot be in the game for 90 minutes.Other players are not in good phisichal condition too. Friday we will play much better.Ziggy why don't you sell on the net your 4"inches boots? I am the first buyer, but I can't spend $1000 or $2000 for them.

Haha, "The Neverending Sly Story" is what I'm calling this thread .. rather than argue whether Sly is short or tall this time around, I'll just say this - to me, what Stallone pulled off in turning himself from a nobody B-movie wannabe actor/screen-writer into an Oscar-nominated/winner-multi-million-doller-movie-icon far exceeds the story of Rocky itself imho, and if he turns out to be 4'7", I'll respect him even more. It's truly mind over muscle, as there are plenty of buffed guys out there, but what Sly and Arnie show you, is there are big brains on top of all that muscle, that can overcome big odds and obstacles, height-deficiencies included. ;oP

I am able to get 3.25" of actual height in these Fila F13s (I have 2 pair) which means there's about 4" total of lifts: Click Here
As I posted some time ago, I am able to get 4" actual in my custom-made dress boots; 4.75" of total lift. I have had boots and shoes done by DiFabrizio many years back. The 4.5" he's referring to is most likely the total lift and NOT the actual net height. As I explained before, it's all about the physics and the axis point. I stretched it to the absolute limit @ 4" net; over that and your footwear starts looking like orthopedic shoes and is obvious. If you really want to do it right and go the max possible, you'll need to spend a few thousand to get it right and go 100% custom. My next venture: cowboy boots. I might just break my record!

if it sounds bogus, it probably is; theres no such thing as magic, just craftsmanship and NO i don't think 4.5in is possible; i mean ever seen actresses w/ 4-5in heels?? their footwear stand out like a sore thumb. might wanna check your sources on that shoemaker Rob. from all the evidence, i would say Stallone is 5'9 in the least. The only thing I can't reconcile is the Travolta photo. nevertheless, you have to admit this guy has EXCELLENT posture

The picture with Stallone running on the beach wearing Nike shox with other runners in the distant background could possibly show him without lifts or "special shoes" on. But.......there isn't anyone or another celebrity next to him to compare his height with. Stallone could be wearing "normal size" Nike shox knowing that he would be running with "the average joes", rather than running next to another celebrity that would give away his actual height, for example, running next to Schwarzenegger. But then again who knows, Stallone is simply amazing, in one pic looking short with cowboy boots directing Travolta, another pic very short next to Schwarzenegger & Willis at Planet Hollywood, then pictures of him at his birthday party as tall, if not taller than Arnie, Bruce, and John. In the movie Gattaca, Ethan Hawke's character had to have surgery to extend his legs to make him taller, maybe with all the millions Stallone has, he might have invested in a few hundred thousand to extend his leg bones.

Agree MM- Stallone is not short. He can't be under 5'9.5. I've seen "Judge Dredd" 2 days ago and he was 1 inch taller than Armand Assante(both they had at their feet the same boots). I've met Armand Assante in Capri last Summer(I see him each summer in Capri)and he is about 1 inch shorter than me. I am 5'10". Both wearing sandals.Assante is 5'9" so Stallone is about 5'10".

i think the simple problem is that people build him up to be this big action hero - they see him on screen beating the hell out of 10 people at a time...then they see him in real life and they are like 'oh he's not that big' and it's a bit of a shock and also it makes some people feel better to say 'I've seen Sly, he aint that big'...also any reports in the press are always gonna be people with an axe to grind to get a bit of a story; no-one wants to read 'oh Sly's actually tall'. When I saw him he honestly looked a normal 5'10'' - however I'm willing to concede that now aged 60 after all these years of lifting weights - with no shoes and late in the day, whilst slouching he may appear 5'9'1/2 - people's perceptions also a such because he has such an incredibly bulky/broad frame which detract from his height. In addition Sly has always associated with very tall women such as Brigitte and even his current wife is tall for a woman at about 5'9'1/2.

When Stallone is walking away naked next to Russell, does he turn around enough to see if it's truly him? If not then my best guess is they used a double who's around 5'11".

Maybe Rob should list Sly as a "sliding scale" from 5'7' to 5'11". Maybe he's the famous "Rubber Band Man" from the song?

leonari, take a look at this pic of tango and cash. Stallone is taller by at least 3 inches, cant see their feet but my guess is stallone is wearing his boots. Looks like you need to make an appointment with your optometrist and also your psychiatrist, don't forget to take your medications too!

**THE REAL ANONYMOUS** Zach, that is quite the strut going on there. We can probably say it is partly due to the lifts, but i think alot has to do with the mans self confidence. He is probably worth 300 million dollars or more, and beautiful wife that seems to care for him. It looks like he is in a good place right now. I think it was either leonari or Nolifts that commented that Sly had the 2nd best movie physique in Hollywood, with Steve Reeves being number 1. I agree with Steve Reeves being number one and maybe the Rambo 3 Stallone being in the top 5. I am not a big fan of the bulkier look that he has at the moment. I have heard he weighs any where from 200-206lbs. I think the weight does expose his height to be closer to 5'8 and 5'9 but who really knows. He should prolly drop some mass for Rambo. Okay since everybody is chiming in about Lift movies, how about The Lifts of Flatbush. ITALIA ITALIA ITALIA ITALIA ITALIA ITALIA

I was speaking with a friend who does independent publicity and he told me that with celebs like Stallone who are shorter than they claim, every official photo taken is scrutinized and if any show them to be the height they actually are, they're disposed of quickly. He confirms that when Stallone appeared at openings of Planet Hollywood along with Bruce Willis and Arnold, the photographer understood that he had to make Sly look taller. Angles were favored and on some occasions a box was placed so Sly could stand on it. Arnold and Bruce made themselves look shorter by slumping down while sly almost stood on his tiptoes. My friend claims this was a common practice with another shorty, Tom Cruise, but recently Cruise doesn't seem to care that much about people seeing him as short as he is.

OK finally Frank2!! I still say he is 5'9" but at least you admit that your 5'7" sighting could be wrong. There is just no way he can be 5'7". 5'8" is the minimum and I say 5'9.5 max. Never was a full 5'10" and never will be. Still the master of lifts!

Like I have said early there has been alot of sightings of him 5'10" to 5'11" and we all know why. But there has not been one, I repeat not one mention of Sly being 5'9" or 5'10" when people have witness him barefooted. And people that have seen him barefooted all claim he is 5'8" .They would know because many that have seen him barefooted are around the same rang in height of 5'8" so they would know his height.
So you see many are being fooled by Sly's fake height.

Leung I agree but I think that Sly is not a full 5'10", but a weak 5'10". He is 177cm or also 176. Stallone goes to custom and custom made elevator shoes can give to you 4 inches of height increase. This is the explanations at those Zach pics where Stallone looks only 1 inches shorter than almost 6'2"(barefeet) Arnold.

In those photos, Arnold is taller than Giuliani and they are both standing side by side, Arnold a step closer to the camera, but no optical illusion here. Whereas the other photo, Arnold towers over the police officer who looks to be only 4'5". I'm guessing that Arnold is standing on the sidewalk being escorted by the officer .

Wow, all the pictures/videos of comparison in this forum regarding Stallone's "mystery" height is like looking at pictures/videos trying to figure out if photos/videos of bigfoot or the loch ness monster are real or hoax. I think most of us would agree from photos/videos that Stallone wears large shoes or boots with high heels. In the video clips of Stallone in Tango & Cash it looks like he wears boots with high heels and looks about the same height as Kurt Russell, but in the shower scene where they walk together, Russell is 3 to 4 inches shorter. Did Stallone insist on wearing his boots in the shower?

I think the REAL question is, whether Sly is 5'8" or 5'9"?
I'm going with 5'8.5" and a morning height of 5'9", since that's the only way he can realistically pass for 6'+ with lifts.

Well - I was always on the page of Stallone being 5'10, but must admit starting to question that after the photo's Zach posted. I've seen Stallone appear on chat shows with Arnold, and he's always looked several inches shorter. In the photo's he actually lookes taller than Arnie...so there's something strange going on - If he was a true 5'10 I doubt he'd bother. I could never see him as short as 5'7, but maybe 5'8/5'9....Rob may have him spot on!

dmeyer-On internet some companies sell 3.5 inchs elevator shoes and are not expensive. So everybody can buy shoes that add about 2 inches at their barefoot heights.Example: if you are 5'10"(barefoot)and buy a 3.5 inchs model on internet you are 6'1.25 with shoes on, because you get about 3.25 not all the 3.5 inchs.So you increase your barefoot's height of about 2 inches, because normal shoes have an exterior heel of about 1 or 1.25 inch.You have not to be rich for doing this. If you want 3 real inches more on your barefoot height you have to go to custom. They can make 4 inches boots(3 inches of real increase at your barefoot's height, because normal shoes have 1 inch of exterior heel)) without losing stile.But, in this case you have to spend at least $1000.Is obvious that Stallone and Cruise go to custom.But believe me, more than 4 inches(so 3 inches of barefoot's height increase) is impossible!!!

Glenn do not be naive this is Sly we are talking about. Even his custom shoe maker has admitted he has made many shoes to elevate Sly's height.
Now, even you have said you have seen him as tall as 5'10" in shoes well there are shoes that have 1.5" heel and 1" at least build up inside and do look normal and would make someone who is 5'8" appear 5'10" easily. And if someone who is 5'8" wants to look taller like 5'11" that is when you pull out the Musnter trainers. If the bald man was not sitting next to him with regular shoes to compare Sly's trainers you would not be able to tell because they are very well proportion, they can fool many especially with his pants drapping over them.
The only reason I am so adamant about Sly being 5'8" barefooted b/c many who have seen Sly barefooted all claim Sly is short as 5'8". I have not hear not one post of someone that have seen him barefooted say he is 5'9" or 5'10". All sighting without the help of lifts are in 5'8" rang.
By the way I am starting to think that Bruce is 5'10" barefooted and 5'11" in shoes. He does not seem that much taller than Cybill 5'8".

Editor Rob yes, they would have custom made elevator's, but there is an inherent limit as to what you can get. Never forget though that Stallone in photo opps is rarely not standing near measurable height, whereas other people might stand 1,2cm lesser.

There is no MUNSTER lifts in casual or dress shoes which is what I always saw him in.in sandles with lifts the smallest he can be is 5-9 by what he looked to me.

Having read everyones views and looked at all the pictures I have to side with the school of thought that says he is 5'8". Some of his footwear is ridiculous and all the BEST pictures, that show his entire body and footwear, suggest he is 5'8" to me. Particularly the one with travolta where he has his big cowboy boots on and the one with Bruce and Arnie where they are digging. One thing is for sure, your footwear can make you taller but it can't make you shrink!! We have all seen the Rocky films, we have all seen a lot of Sly over the years. 5'10" is a real no way for me. I think he should be downgraded to the 5'8" that sensible people know he really is!!

For what it's worth, I know a fellow who works security for celebs. He's worked for Stallone on many occasions. He swears Sly is 5'8". My friend is 6'1" and he's seen Sly by the pool barefoot and told me he's no way 5'10". Now when I saw Stallone he didn't even look 5'8", but I could have been wrong. My friend who I tend to believe has been around him far more than I have so perhaps he's right. Anyway, it still says Sly is not the 5'10" he claims to be.

I must say, anyone who denies 6' Sly sightings must be in denial .. also, I should mention I've seen Sly within an inch or more of 6'1.5" David Letterman on The Late Show (and remember being quite shocked by it) ...

By the way, while you're at it, check out Arnold with former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani in one of those photos. Rudy is about 5'10". Notice that Arnold towers over him?

"Frank, I've met both Willis and Travolta, believe me Willis is 6ft and Travolta 6'1"."
Then President Bush is 6' and so am I.
"According to you how is possible for a 5'7" man to reach the 6'1"(with his shoes on)?"
Stallone has NEVER been 6'1". I've seen him many times and the tallest he was was my height (6' in shoes). For a comparison let's take another actor who's shorter than he appears and that's Burt Reynolds. He's no more than 5'10", but with his lifts as well as big-heeled boots he appeared 6'2" in most of his earlier films. I worked on one of then and saw him with his boots off and believe me, he was 5'10". Those boots boosted him by four inches. With four inch lifts, Stallone becomes 6'.

Oh, and I should mention to .. what's the average of 5'7" and 5'10"? = 5'8.5" right? And that's what was extracted from 5'11"/6' Claudia Schiffer, remember?

Just food for thought .. if a fresh set of eyes were reading this thread to see that Sly's height guesstimates range from 5'7" to 5'10" and so many people adamantly justifying their claims with all their hard-evidence, wouldn't it then be STUPID of them to claim that Sly's either 5'7" or 5'10"? Just a thought ...

One of the lessons we've learned from the Arnold Scharzenegger thread, is that we can't trust pics, especially ones where the figures aren't standing excatly on the same picture plane, and recede into the distance. The laws of perspective dictate that objects closer to the camera appear larger, those further are smaller (also known as "foreshortening" to the artist-types). As miniscule as the differences are, they can be huge in measring something like height, which is something that needs to be within inches or even centimeters to be correct.
Look how Arnie, Chris Draper and Reg Park may vary in size between photos, Arnie bigger than Reg bigger than Draper in one, the total opposite in the other:

Based on that fact, that explains why Sly looks tiny in Frank's photo, he's furthest away:
Click Here
Also notice Bruce Willis is also gigantic in comparison to Arnold, and we all know Arnold is taller than Bruce.
Depending on the camera lens focal-length, the differences can be pretty huge even if one figure is "slightly' closer/further than another.
And if you haven't already checked out this optical illusion (which figure is tallest/shortest?) ...
