I'll say it again. You CAN'T always just look at someone's body type and tell they are short. Unless they are a dwarf. Not if they are proportionate. I am barely over 5'6". A friend in college, who was a little over 5'9", thought I was taller than he was. MANY people say I don't have a short build. It's all relative. I think Sly looks short a lot. Many times not, too. Hell, I used to swear he had to be 5'10", til I started reading and hearing more and more. I will take the word of someone who has seen SLY come out of a pool than just about anybody else who has seen SLY in public with his specially-crafted from alien technology shoes. I will also take the word of my friend, who, like Glenn, stood right next to Stallone, only before Stallone was such an established star, a time when Stallone probably wasn't as much into lifts, etc. My friend said no taller than 5'8". Again, Sly surrounded himself with short people in the first Rocky - Burt Young, Burgess Meredith, Talia Shire - why? I don't believe Sly can look over 6 feet. On any show I've every seen him on (not photograph), I have never seen Sly look 6 ft. Never. I don't trust photographs of Stallone. Too much can be done with perception, tricks, staging, etc. Stallone is one person who will make sure every photograph is taken to minimize his shorter height or maximize the perception he is taller. The most I would say I've ever seen Stallone look on tv or movies is 5'10". In the shower seen with Sharon Stone he looks at most 5'8" - whether he looks shorter or taller, he doesn't look any taller than Stone who I don't believe is over 5'7". I don't believe any over 6 ft sightings. Sorry. Stallone, with 3 inch lifts = 5'10" to 5'11".

All I can say is if Sly is truly 5'7 he is the master of illusion. you can see his feet in one of the photos posted by Zach, in which he looks taller than Tom Jones with Jones nearer the camera. As such the shoes he has on must be giving him 5 to 6 inches if he is truly 5'7...aren't they called stilts?

stallone is like 5'9 i'd say with his increase in footwear i believe glenn in saying he can look 6 feet, but frank has seen him shorter and at 5'11 frank's a good comparision to sly, wish we could get a post of frank/sly, anyways in the 3rd pic with sly arnie and willis, where stallone isnt stretching, arnold is 3 inches taller then both of them, that 2nd pic wow i dont know what to say, sly looks the tallest but if anyone is saying look arnold's only 5'10, whats willis 5'8?? arnold is 2-3 inches taller in every arnold/willis pic ive seen, theres some sly pics with himself and carl weathers (6'1), where carl towers over him, and 1 or 2 where stallone is actually almost as tall as him, and the more i see that glenn pic sly looks closer to 5'11 instead of 5'10, but if he claims 5'10 thats his MAX height, prolly shorter, frnak2 good reminder of the early pics of bruce/sly/arnie where sly is definetely the shortest, i wonder if stallone pays bruce and arnie to wear smaller footwear then him so he can look taller, and i appreciate glenn and franks honesty for giving accurate height estimates, i must say sly is the MOST unique person for height on this website by a long shot, someone should ask arnie and willis how stallone grew, and get their opinions

Frank, I have to say I can't quite accept that Sly would stand on a box at a public outing, the press would have a field day! In films yeah we all know that all sorts are done to manipulate height, but not in public.
And if you look at the pics from Sly's 60th bday he's standing in different positions, first Arnies to the right, then he's to the right, yet in all the pics he's the tallest.
Freaky how he goes from half a foot shorter than Arnie Click Here
to actually taller than the Terminator Click Here

Zach, loved your post regarding footwear because it shows the extent of the crazy thoughts some people here have regarding lifts. I have actual experience with lifts because I occassionally wear them to give me a little bit of extra height. The truth is that lifts only give a slight boost to height, the actual difference between regular shoes and lifts is usually 1.5

I remember seeing Stallone on an Arsenio Hall show years ago and when he sat down and crossed his left leg to rest his ankle on his right knee, I was SHOCKED at the 3-4 inch heel that was on his shoe. Add a "lift" and he could certainly add 5 inches to his overall height. Look at the film Cliffhanger where he is on a cliff with the bad guys. All of them, (not just the very tall John Lithgow) TOWER over him. You can see at the beginning of the movie it that long shot with Janine Turner when they are standing against a fence the raised heels on his workboots.

Sly is 5-9 to 5-10 in my opinion.and when is he witnessed at 5-7 besides 2 stories? SLY can look over 6ft and most of you know that.dont trust sightings of over that? please,thats being ignorant.now TOM CRUISE,THATS a short guy.he ALWAYS looks 5-7 to 5-8.and now is wearing the occasional lifts more to be a hair under 5-10 we see in pics of him with Katie.how come we never see him at over 5-10? cause he is truly 5-7.lifts dont make you 5-11 or over when your 5-7.and you can tell he is short.Sly rarely looks short.nor does his body frame.when you look at my legs and cruises,you can tell we are short.funny ,I guess no one remembers I was at the first Planet Hollywood opening in 1991 and Sly wasnt standing on a box.Arnie was 6-2,Sly and Willis were 6ft.standing on boxes at public events,body doubles,walking around barefoot for others amusement,this is too much.

Frank, I've met both Willis and Travolta, believe me Willis is 6ft and Travolta 6'1". Yes I agree with you about Arnie's height(about 6'2"). According to you how is possible for a 5'7" man to reach the 6'1"(with his shoes on)? How you explain those pics ( Sly 60

stalonne look 5'11 in this pics and travolta is shorter than arnie be 4 cm so arnie might steel be close to 187 cm and travolta is no more than 6 ft when i met him he looked 6'0.75" he might had small lifts on and also i think arnie is aleast 6'1" even nowadays and was like 6'1.75" at peak

What you're forgetting is that on top of using four inch lifts, Sly will stand on a box. A friend of mne saw this when they opened Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and Willis, Sly and Arnold were there.

Glenn can I ask you what height you think Sylvester Stallone is? Sure you've mentioned a range of heights that he can LOOK and a range of heights that you may consider him to be, but if someone asked you to give your best estimate of his exact height, what would it be?
Frank2 has said 5'7. What is your best estimate?
p.s. Rob, stretching exercises to increase height by atleast 5 inches?! At the age of 60 too! lol. Shoe stretching more like ;)
Even if Sly is 5'10 he claimed (20 years ago) to be he'd have to wear AT LEAST 4 inches to get above Stallone and Travolta (6'1 with shoes). And if he's 5'7, thats 7 inches from the bottom of his shoes to his insole. This is mind boggling, I know I've campaigned for Sly being around 5'8 but I just cant accept him or anyone wearing 7 inches...is that possible? Do women wear 7 inches? And then theres the pics of him being shorter than 5'7/8 Sharon Stone and the same height as 5'8.5 Robert DeNiro. I'm starting to believe Rob's push button get taller Sly theory =s lol cos nothing makes sense when it comes to this guys height.
I'm a big fan of Sly but the guys a freak when it comes to footwear.

If that's truly James Caan in the last shot then something is very strange indeed. Caan is now about 5'9". The last time I saw him I was at least two inches taller.

I suppose that according to you, a perfectly realistic person who's unbiased is someone who agrees with you. I'm no fan nor am I some anti-fan with an agenda. I'm just an observer who's had a chance to be closer to may of these people than most of you. I don't usually over-estimate 'cause 99% of the time I see these people exactly as they are.
As for being taller, I just might be, considering all the fudging that goes on to get some of these clebs to be as tall as they're suppose to be. And it's not that I see everyone as being shorer. There are some tall celebs. And I'm the first to agree. David Hasslehoff is very tall. So is Christopher Lee. Arnold Schwarzenneger is tall. I've taken heat for defending his height as I have for defending the heights of other famous people such as Steve McQueen.
"just saying "look how short stallone is next to willis" isn't good enough"
I must say that if someone is considerably shorter then they must be shorter!
"you've gotta actually measure them"
If no comments are to be accepted without first getting permission to measure each celeb, then we all might as well spend out time doing something other than visting this site.

This whole thing is not about Frank2 or Glenn being right or wrong. I think most of us in here agree with both of them at different times. Bottom line is that both these guys have great information and i respect both of them equally. When it comes to Sly's height, i am going to agree with Frank2 on this one. Sly is 5'8 max

Frank2 is objective only to a point in providing evidence unlike lots of people but he also has a tendency to skew it to his favor and not be open to any alternatives other than his fixation at 5-7. just saying "look how short stallone is next to willis" isn't good enough - you've gotta actually measure them. and sf, yeah frank is not a star struck fan but that doesn't mean nuttin cos it could me the opposite: an anti-fan. a perfectly objective and realistic person has no bias, their predictions go both ways - over or under. i think nolifts mentioned that all over this site most of franks estimates lower celeb's heights rather than raise them, that doesn't seem unbiased to me. what i've read supports this, i've never seen frank overestimate anywhere. Frank, any chance you may actually be taller than you always thought?

Then so am I as well as is President Bush. Now why would both Bush and I claim be shorter than we are? Come on!

James Woods is 5'10" and Fox is or was 5'4". I've met both.
"Frank says Sharon Stone is 5'7"(Ok if she is 5'7" then Ellen Degeneres is 5'5.5,and not 5'7")"
So? Ellen isn't 5'7". Your point being? It seems you automatically believe what publicity puts out by these people as being the truth with no possible way to disprove it. If so, you're a publicists dream come true!
"Frank says that Stallone is 5'7" and Scwarzenegger is 6'2"(I think too that Scwarzenegger is close to 6'2")"
Well, at least you agree about Arnold. I've seen both men on several occasions and my judgment is accurate on both of them. Sly wears huge lifts, usually boosting him by several inches. Then when photo sessions are taken of him standing with really tall guys like Arnold, the taller men purposely don't stand up straight making him look taller. Did you see the photos of Arnold next to Sallone that I posted where they were standing on a platform and Arnold was half a head taller?
Here it is for those who forgot: Click Here
Here's a shot where Arnold stood up straight next to both Stallone and 5'11' Bruce Willis: Click Here
Willis isn't wearing lifts and is several inches shorter than Arnold. Sly is wearing lifts and is still several inches shorter.

Yes, overall I DO think Frank is more objective and realistic. Frank isn't coming from the point of a star struck fan who sees these people larger than life. No, he's coming from someone who has been IN the industry for a long time, knows/has met lots of these people, knows the tricks used in the industry (lifts, angles, boxes, trenches, etc.)and has probably seen many of these people at many different times, different situations and probably has had the chance to see many different types of footwear. No, I don't thank Frank's word is the end-all, be-all. And, I know that Glenn has met lots of these people too, But, overall, I do trust Frank's word more. He doesn't want to seem to want to build these people up. There are many others who just always seem to HAVE to have someone taller, they HAVE to build them up for some reason...

Why do we assume if these guys wear lifts, that they are going to walk funny? Why/how is that proof? "If he doesn't walk funny - he must not be wearing lifts." Look at your average woman who has been wearing heels since she was in her teens. Does she walk funny? No, she's used to wearing heels. So, are these guys who wear 2 and 3 inch lifts in their shoes. Just like heels, they can get used to them and walk just fine, I'm sure. Not "funny." Stallone is no taller than 5'8".

Just like heels, they can get used to them and walk just fine, I'm sure. Not "funny." Stallone is no taller than 5'8".

Glenn, Sly doesnt walk funny around you and nor does he walk funny elsewhere. He has perfected the art of using, walking in, running about in and doing pretty much everything in his elevators.
A reminder of his elevators in Demolition Man: Click Here
Yet we all know he walked, ran, fought, did everything in them in the film.
Going back to Tango and Cash, Stallone and Russel were pretty much the same height in the film, sometimes Russel looked fractionally taller, sometimes Stallone, but look at the size of Stallone's elevators in this clip (keep you're eyes on his shoes when he drops his bullets and again when the baddies come flying out onto the floor): Click Here

Sure I can be wrong about Willis.but Im not wrong 100% on Colin ,and Im 90% Sly isnt 5-7.Sly is 5-9 minimum.love ya too SF,but Sly never walks funny around me and in dress shoes can look over 6ft alot of times.keep in mind,especially with Willis and Colin Farrel,I SEE these people in the FLESH all the time and recent too.not 10-30 year old stories.and dont you think I can tell 5-7,5-11 or 6-1 apart?

Sf- and all here- Can I ask you one thing? If you compares Glenn estimations to Frank estimations, you think that frank is more obiective and realistic? With all the respect for Frank I think that Glenn is really close to the truth. Frank says that Bruce Willis is 5'11 and I've met willis last september at "Miss Italia 2005": he is at least 6ft, more 6ft+; Frank says that James Woods is 5'10"(if he is 5'10 than Micheal j Fox is 5'2"!!! and not 5'4",0,0); Frank says Sharon Stone is 5'7"(Ok if she is 5'7" then Ellen Degeneres is 5'5.5,and not 5'7",0,0); Frank says that Stallone is 5'7" and Scwarzenegger is 6'2"(I think too that Scwarzenegger is close to 6'2"): you think that Arnold has 7 inches on sly? I think he has 4 inches on Sly and no more!And in conclusion Frank says that Banderas is 5'9"(I agree) but Don Johnson is 5'8" and Stallone 5'7".You think that little Antonio is 1 inch taller than Don Johnson and 2 inchs taller than Sylvester Stallone? It sounds so strange. You still think that Frank is more believable and accurate than Glenn?P.S.I esteem Frank for the person that he is, I am only not agree with him about the height estimations.I agree with Leonari: Sylvester Stallone and Steve Reeves are the best bodies in the history of cinema.

So Glenn, with all due respect, if Willis is 6'1" then please explain how he and I are the same height and also please explain how he's the same height as President Bush. Then if you have the chance, please watch an old episode of Moonlighting and tell me why he doesn't tower over 5'8" Cybil Shepherd. If he was indeed 6'1" he would most assuredly look a lot taller. He doesn't. I actually watched them film some of it and in many situations Cybil wore no shoes at all! I mean this is getting to be somewhat ridiculous. Glenn, on this one I know you're wrong . Somehow what you thought you saw just wasn't the case. Occasionally I've been fooled. I've seen celebs like Stallone who at first I thought was the height advertised. Then I got a big shock seeing him without shoes.

Many say Sly can look as tall as 6'1" so now I am comparing him to someone who is 6' or 6'1". Sly even with his high heel boots is not even close. Now image him standing to Travolta with out his boots then you will get the 5'8" sightens.
If Sly was really 5'10" barefooted ,in those high heel boots it would make him at least as tall as John. But he only looks about 5'10" with his girlly boots.

Real anonymous: You have nothing in your head man. Very sad. SLY had one of the 2-3 best bodies in the history of cinema and television. He had 2.8 % body fat in ROCKY III. He is 5'7" by you. I am 5'7". I have 4 % body fat. So what you are saying samrt ass is that you were as big as Sly when you were 12. Should that be a joke? Your humor is bad. Your nick on this site is stupid and your comments and claims lack evidence... Guy like you has one thing going for him: you have your brain in your legs...Got it: in your legs!!!LOL. you tall mf.

Glenn - I love ya, but I think you always overestimate many of these stars' heights, especially when you like them. You've seen Stallone at heights that even Stallone doesn't dream of! The man is not more than 5'8". And, no, most of the time, you can't tell how short someone is, unless you have something to compare them to. And, I'm talking about on TV. That picture of Stallone next to Glenn, to me, makes Stallone look about 5'11". Take away 3 inch lifts....

My basis on Sly shrinking is that Hulk Hogan shrank at least 2 inches if not more from his prime and he's not 60. I'm not a height speciliast but I don't think its impossible. Hulk was on steriods at one point, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Frank2, i am going to disagree with you about a 2 inch heel on those boots .I believe they are at a minimum of 2.5' inches. Check out the length of his leg, it just does not jive with his upper body. Take four inches off the leg and it will fit his upper torso better, in other words have him take off the boots.

Thanks Rob,
That is the picture I was talking about, well compare to a true 6' he does not look like 6' or 6'1 as many claim with his 2"or 3" heel boots more like 5'10" now does he?
I know what may are going to say that Travolta is 6'1" but he is 6' or 6'1" Sly still is shorter in his large cowboy boots maybe even a lift inside, even his body seems short compared to John.
Can you image if Sly took his boots off and stood next to Travolta, now can you none believers see were all the short sightings come from?

Stallone in his boots is still about three inches shorter than 6' Travolta. Those cowboy boots have a two inch heel and are built up inside to give Sly another inch. So if he's 5'7" which I believe he is then in those boots he's around 5'10".

Does anyone have the picture with Sly in cowboy boots directing John Travolta in Staying Alive? In that picture you can clearly see Sly in 2"-3" cowboy boots next to a real 6'footer. And Sly's body does look small compared to Johns.

"Frank you have a great influence on this site. You try to convince peoples that that a lot of Hollywood's Stars are about 2 inches shorter than they really are."
Not always. when I defend a star's height or try to convince people that they were in fact taller, I get s*** for it. If you don't believe me, just go over to either McQueen's thread or the one for Richard Burton.
"I don't know if you do this only for having some fun or because you have some problem with heights estimation."
I do it in order to pass on some knowledge I have gathered from first-hand experiences. But just as in politics, some people will still refuse to believe anything that varies from their own hardened-in-stone beliefs.
"According to you Frank: Stallone is 5'7"(out of imagination)"
Who's imagination?
"James Woods is 5'10"(absurd! this guy is really close to 6ft)"
Oh, and your proof? Have you met him? Have you stood next to him? Have you seen him standing next to true six footers like I have?
"Sharon Stone is 5'7"(no way! she is at least 5'8" or a little more)"
Again, where's your proof? Have you met her?
"Don Johnson is 5'8"(impossible: if he is 5'8",Melanie Griffith is 5'6.5 barefoot and is very difficult;"
Melanie is about 5'6.5" and when she puts on four-inchers she's nearly 5'10". So what? In most photos of the two, Melanie is taller.
"Excuse me but I have to say this. P.S. Don't post again that Horrible pic where Travolta appears almost 2 inches taller than Woods because is not fair(Travolta is in Camera favour)."
You mean this "horrible" picture?: Click Here
Sorry. I couldn't resit it.
"And consider that Travolta is a solid 6'1"(I've seen him this year in Italy at "Sanremo Festival" and he is exactly the same height of my brother 6'1".Travolta is only 1 or 1.25 inch taller than 5'11.75 Woods."
You measured your bro recently? I mean are you really sure he's 6'1"? I mean why should we take your word on it? I've heard he's only 6'.

Whatever-there are so many people on tv you have NO idea how tall they are- short, tall, whatever. You can not always tells when someone is short - most people don't have a "short" build. They are every bit as proportionate as someon taller. Put them on tv with angle, lifts, etc - you have no idea. Glenn - you have the benefit of meeting many of these guys, so I'm not referring to you. But, why can't Stallone have on 3 inch lifts whenever you see him? That picture of Stallone in tennis shoes says is it all. Those shoe are monstrous and very well could have 2 or 3 extra inches in them. I wonder if he has lifts in his slippers?

My personal estimation of Stallone's height has risen to 5'8 1/2'' so far. I used to think 5'7 1/2'' but Glenn, amongst other things, changed my mind.

Glenn,
you are fooled, in the picture with you an Sly he is only 2" taller than you am I know he has lifts on. Use your common sense if you had lifts as well you also would be his height, how hard is that to believe?
And do not tell me that is his height without lifts because than there would not be so many sightings of him as 5'8".
With his Munster trainers or shoes he is no more than 5'11".

nolifts - how old are you? Were you alive and old enough to watch Happy Days in its prime? I was and never thought he was short, especially since he wore boots and was surrounded by other actors who were shorter. People today have the benefit of knowing Winkler is short and that can skew their perception. I don't think Stallone's body style looks any "taller" than Winkler or many people. My friend, who personally stood next to Stallone in the 70's, probably before Stallone went to such great lengths to always look taller, says Stallone is no taller than 5'8". People just can't seem to except that stars, whom they have idolized and always thought were larger than life, may not actually be larger than life. People just don't want to accept that many of these stars are shorter than they think or want them to be. Especially men, especially when it comes to someone you really like. Especially since it is commonly known that most stars and press agencies Do exaggerate stars' heights. that's what Frank knows having been in the business for many, many years. So many stars always exaggerate their heights cause people just like you, etc. just think they HAVE to be taller. They just won't accept it. Sure, Don Johnson can be 5'8" and with lifts 5'10" making Cheech still 5'6". I saw a spot on a tv program recently where Paul Newman was standing next to Julia Roberts or Sharon Stone. I can't remember which. By now, it is commonly thought that he might be 5'8" or so. whatever the case, he was taller than the Sharon or Julia by two inches. Easily. Two women almost always regarded as 5'8"...really watch a lot of these shows and take a good look at how they film people. They do everything to conceal heights or minimize, heights, always shooting slightly up, etc. or at other angles so you don't notice the difference. And, of course, lifts, strenches, boxes, etc. They've been doing this since motion pictures began...

Having proportionately short/long legs is not an indication of height. Stallone is an ectomorph, with a small bone structure and long limbs which helps his appearance of not appearing squat.
Nolifts81 if Frank degrades everyone by 2 inches, why does he insist Arnold is 6'2 when so many say that he is infact only 5'10??

sf- When I saw Henry Winkler for the first time in "Happy Days" I realized very soon that he was short:no more than 5'6". He has short legs!The same is for other actors like Pacino or Hoffmann: they have short legs. But, when you see Stallone's body structure you can't imagine that he is short.He hasn't short legs or short arms(like Tom Cruise). He has an average height. He is close to 5'10" or at least 5'9.5.Frank you have a great influence on this site. You try to convince peoples that a lot of Hollywood's Stars are about 2 inches shorter than they really are.I don't know if you do this only for having some fun or because you have some problem with heights estimation.Glenn is more realistic!!!. According to you Frank: Stallone is 5'7"(out of imagination,0,0);James Woods is 5'10"(absurd! this guy is really close to 6ft,0,0);Sharon Stone is 5'7"(no way! she is at least 5'8" or a little more,0,0); Don Johnson is 5'8"(impossible: if he is 5'8",Melanie Griffith is 5'6.5 barefoot and is very difficult; and it means that Cheech Marin in "Nash Bridges" is not 5'6" but 5'4"?)Come on Frank be serious for one time. Excuse me but I have to say this. P.S. Don't post again that Horrible pic where Travolta appears almost 2 inches taller than Woods because is not fair(Travolta is in Camera favour). And consider that Travolta is a solid 6'1"(I've seen him this year in Italy at "Sanremo Festival" and he is exactly the same height of my brother 6'1".Travolta is only 1 or 1.25 inch taller than 5'11.75 Woods.

They looked SMALLER compared to me (well, about 5'9" barefoot) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
I WONDER HOW PEOPLE (SPECIALLY MEN) FEEL WHEN THEY REMOVE THEIR CHUNKS AT NIGHT...AND FACE REALITY...

So when was his prime? I saw him at 5'7" when he did Nighthawks which was when he was just 35. Maybe he was six feet when he became an adult and then shrank down to 5'7" by the time he was 35.

KingNick: To shrink 3 inches by age 60 is ridiculous. Especially for a healthy, still in great shape guy like Sly. Maybe he shrunk 0.5 inch but sorry your claim or assumption or whatever you wann call it is nothing but: RIDICULOUS. PLUS : in public Sly appears more 5'11 than 5'10...thats why he wears lifts. He wants to be 6 feet like everybody else. OK? Please stop the non-sense. Body doubles, losing 3 inches. People start to lose it when it comes to SLY and it's truly anoying to read these absurd idiotic claims...

Editor Rob I don't think sly will have lost more than a few millimeteres, in fact as hulk shrinks, by the time he and sly are 80 they'll probably look same height!

absolutely right Glenn. First it's clear that it's SLY walking with Kurt and no stunt double. Yes SLY wears a lot of lifts in private and often in movies. But he is and always was 5'10". MAybe 5'9.5". I like your stories Frank 2 but I am 5'7" myself, I have a similar built to Sylvester and I am involved in body building. But when I look at pictures of Sly the major difference is in the legs. My legs are rather short and Sly has these 3 inches more in the legs...

nolifts - why is it unrealistic for someone to be 5'7" or 5'8? When Henry Winkler was a huge star as Fonzie, harldy anybody knew he was only 5'6". People were always very surprised to find out how short he was. When he was on Tv, he played the coolest, toughest guy there was. Alan ladd was only 5'5" or 5'6" but was a huge (forgive the pun) star.
Why is it unrealistic for Stallone or Johnson to be only 5'8"? TV shows, ovies, can make anyone look shorter, taller, etc. etc. the go to great lengths to minimize or disguise heights.

I am a big Sly fan and respect him as a person an as an actor if he was tall or short, but I am not fooled by his fake height.
You know it is weird how people who know him best all say he is short for example his sister is 5'9" and she said he is shorter than her. Who do you think I believe more his sister or Glenn who is obviously fooled by his shoes who says sometimes he wears normal shoes. Come on people get real what does Sly say when he wakes up I guess I will be taller today and tomorrow I will be shorter,than that would be deafting the purpose in wearing elevator shoes.
Espesialy someone who has been wearing them for a least 30 years.
I have already compared him to his 5'9" wife in her 3" heels and Sly in his 3" Munster trainers and she is still taller than him and many people still choose not to accept that he is 5'8".
Wake up people he is not tall how do you explain all the short sightings?

I think Stallone was 5'10" in his prime but may have shrank to about the 5'7" mark now so in public he makes up for it and wears lifts/boots waht not to make him closer to 5'10".

Stallone is never 5'7 in public, and we all know why.I agree with Frank2 and Vaj regarding these heights.So Vaj according to Nolifts81, you are a solid 5'10.:)Why would we try to under estimate Sly's height? I like his movies and the image he potrays in public.If he is 5'7 or '8 its cool, if he is 5'10 it's fine with me as well.

Glenn,
You are not the only one who has met actors. I have met Don he was my height exactly, you may see him taller since you are shorter. Many people think I am 5'11" but I am only 5'10.25" or 5'10.5" in shoes and 5'9" barfooted.
And the funny thing is in Ten Cup Don's double was 6' tall. There were certain scence they would use his double for a distance shot they or when his back is turned and many watching the movie would think he is tall with so many tricks they use. I guess that is why many people a so shocked to see how short actors really are in person like Don, Sly, Banderas etc.

Frank you have seen both these men who is the tallest between the 2? Johnson or Stallone?

Frank2- Philip Micheal Thomas is a solid 5'10". I've seen him in a lot of italian television programs, because he was, several years ago, in a tv series called"Big man" with Bud Spencer.He was costantly about 5 inches shorter than 6'3" Bud Spencer. Also he was the same height of "Corrado", the most famous italian anchorman. Corrado was 5'10"(178cm).Come on Frank, you see people always 2 inches shorter than they really are.I am not adamant, I try to be realistic. Stallone can't be 5'7"like you say, is unrealistic, and Don Johnson isn't 5'8", if Don is 5'8" he should appeares 2 inches shorter than 5'10"(for sure)Philip Micheal Thomas in Miami Vice, instead he is about 0.5 inch shorter than Thomas.

You guys should be comedians. funny,everytime I saw Don (and you will see pic one day),he was 5-11.another lift wearer EVERY time he is in public I guess.so maybe Don is short,but to say Sly has a stunt double JUST to look an inch taller than 5-9 Kurt is just too much and its making me sick to my stomach.and nobody sees this as outlandish? come on,this is disgustingly getting out of hand.

The pic with Sly and Russell is obviously a double or some sort of trick with Sly.With Sly you can never tell what sort of tricks he has up his feet.

Here is another pic of Sly and Russell, this time no double.Hemmm..that's funny Russell seems a little taller and Sly does not seem so tall like in the shower scene does he?

Sly is 5'11" in his 3" Munster trainers, 5'10" in regular 2"elevators shoes or sandles, 5'9" in regular shoes without lifts and 5'8" barefooted that's it!

2Cents, I'm in agreement with most of what you're saying. I mentioned the high-low point walking aspect below too.
Nice work from your calculations (although I wouldnt 100% trust that photo) so his height from that analysis is 5'7.9
This height does actually make sense, people ofcourse will make slight errors in estimation and hence the 5'7 reports, maybe late in the day maybe without any of his heels.

My cousin Alessandro is 6'2". Many years ago he was in Rome for the opening of "Planet Hollywood". He said to me a lot of time that Stallone was a lot shorter than him and was very surprised, but he said also that Sly was the same exact height of Don Johnson, a lot of time they stand one besides one. Both they weared jeans and sneakers in that occasion.

I'd like to add that there's one potential problem with the Sly and Kurt Russell shower scene photo, and it's the fact that they're both "walking" and you don't see their feet. In a typical human walk-cycle, there's a high-point where you're on the ball of your feet doing a toe-roll with legs straightend, which would increase your height beyond normal, and at other points where you've "landed" after taking a step, with feet flat, which would cause your knees to buckle and bend, and thus lowering you below your normal height .. in other words, a person "bobs up and down" as they walk, some more than others depending on how they walk. This is my argument against Sly being too tall (in appearing to tower over Kurt Russell by 2 inches or so) ...
However, I'll argue against him being too short either, in that the 5'7" reported sightings of him in the media (e.g. Goldman, etc...) appear to be mostly from people who could profit from sensationalizing and over-exaggerating Sly's shortness in order to sell a few extra copies of their book on "celebrity lies" or whatever ...
Also, look at someone who's truly 5'7" like Tom Cruise standing next to 6'1" Alex Cabrera:
Click Here
If Tom wore lifts which elevates him to 6', his new hand-level and crotch-level would be near Cabrera's belt-level, which would make his arms and upper-body look ridiculously short!! Only someone 5'9"+ can consistently pull off lookin' 6'+ which is what Sly has slyly done over the years, no way he could pull that off being only 5'7"!

OK, I'm making no claim that this shall put an end to the debate, but hopefully it'll be a big step closer .. with all the discrepancies due to footware, lifts, "walking on boxes", etc.. I'll reason that the best pic to use so far, truly was the Richard Avedon photograph of Sly and Claudia Schiffer both standing (albeit not totally, but almost straight) semi-nude and barefeet next to eachother .. to refreshen your memories:
Click Here
Some of us have argued that Claudia may actually be 6' (according to an official modeling agency spec catalogue) rather than 5'11" (which is what most places list her as, just do a "Claudia Schiffer Height" search on google and see what I mean) ...
So I'm going to perform the same height-extraction exercise which I did for Arnold Schwarzenegger (using Wilt Chamberlain and Andre The Giant), but now for extracting Stallone's height from BOTH of Claudia Shiffer's reported heights. First, please refer to:
Click Here
or
Click Here
Using 5'11" = 71" and 6'0" = 72":
Sly's height based on 5'11" Claudia Schiffer
= (29.45 units / 30.8 units) * 71" = 67.89" = 5'8" (approx)
Sly's height based on 6'0" Claudia Schiffer
= (29.45 units / 30.8 units) * 72" = 68.84" = 5'9" (approx)
Now I'll be the first to point out that this is far from 100% accurate, but hopefully it should provide a "ballpark figure" of Sly's true height. Although Sly is slightly tilted in his stance, so is Schiffer. I'll also add that Sly's tilted stance lowers him on one side, but raises him on the other, which should balance out his height overall (I tried this out myself in a mirror and was right, the stance evens itself out).
My own personal conclusion from this, is that Stallone is a weak 5'9", perhaps 5'8.5" as I've always suspected. I cannot see him shorter than 5'8", nor taller than 5'9".

Slysystem..that tango and cash walking into the shower scene
firstly, thats taken clearly at an angle favouring stallone with regards to his walking stance (i.e. he's lifting his foot to step whilst russel isnt). To my distaste, I've seen that scene several times and you honestly cant tell who's taller, my guess is they're exactly the same height.
Secondly, on many stallone forums its been mentioned that that wasnt in fact stallone that he'd got a body double to do that walking into the shower scene (you cant see his face). I didnt think he'd go that far in trying to hide his height, but if you watch the film when they're all dressed up, Sly is wearing MASSIVE heels throughout (and trying to hide them with his trousers too), yet he still is the same height as Russel who appeared to wear regular shoes, nothing compared to Slys extortionate footwear anyway. If Sly and Kurt are same height whilst Sly has massive heels on then the body double is the only thing that makes sense.
Slysystem..that tango and cash walking into the shower scene
firstly, thats taken clearly at an angle favouring stallone with regards to his walking stance (i.e. he's lifting his foot to step whilst russel isnt). To my distaste, I've seen that scene several times and you honestly cant tell who's taller, my guess is they're exactly the same height.
Secondly, on many stallone forums its been mentioned that that wasnt in fact stallone that he'd got a body double to do that walking into the shower scene (you cant see his face). I didnt think he'd go that far in trying to hide his height, but if you watch the film when they're all dressed up, Sly is wearing MASSIVE heels throughout (and trying to hide them with his trousers too), yet he still is the same height as Russel who appeared to wear regular shoes, nothing compared to Slys extortionate footwear anyway.

Ive stood right next him plenty of times too.I know he wore lifts in Narc,but please he towers 5-10 Jason patric by alot.lots of running in that movie.cant run like that in lifts.and he looks more than 5-11 next to Deniro and Depp in GOODFELLAS and BLOW.Depp is 5-10 when he is filming.and I ATE with Deniro and Liotta 16 years ago.Liotta was 6-2.I guess he has an obssesion for lifts.

I've seen Liotta, stood right next to him and he's my height or 5'11". He was about three to four inches taller than Sly in Copland. Sharon Stone is no more than 5'7". We never see their feet in the shower scene so sly was elevated slightly either by standing on his tiptoes or Sharon slumping down a bit. Then they might have placed a box under him. As for the shot of Sly and Kurt Russell walking away naked, well, there is no way that Sly is two inches taller in real life. Who knows what tricks they played. They might have used a six foot body double for Sly. All I can say is that in some shots in the film Russell is taller and in other shots Sly is taller. Russell is no more than 5'9". And I've seen Sly without his lifts and I was a lot taller.

I only saw her from a distance when she was strolling on the Fox lot accompanied by director Joel Schumacher. She was wearing sneakers and looked about 5'7" but I really wasn't close enough to make an accurate judgment. She was a a lot shorter than Schumacher. At least by seven inches, maybe even eight. Schumacher's around 6'2".

In the movie "Copland" there is a scene where Stallone is at home and is shown wearing flip flop slippers standing next to 5'11 Ray Liotta. This a full scene where you can see both actor's height from head to toe. Stallone in flip flops is at least 5 to 6 inches shorter than Liotta.

Frank2- Do you know the producer and also actor Tony Munafo? I think that is possible that you have met him. According to you how tall he is? I've seen a video in an italian tv program where Tony Munafo was besides Stallone and James Woods. P.S.They had(in that occasion) very normal dress shoes(also Stallone).

In addition to referring to the Goldman quote, it also mentions that Frank DeCaro, host of a daily talk show on Sirius Satellite Radio, who is 5-feet-8, worked for several years on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". DeCaro said, "I was amazed when I was in the same room as Sylvester Stallone -- he's not very tall at all. Not that I'd want to take him on, but he's shorter than I am."

I agree with Frank. never trust what these people say about themselves, especially when it comes to their physical features. They all want to sound taller, look better, etc...and they all have a vested interest in making the celebs they work with look better, too. Of course, Stone is going to say Stallone is taller. She knows people know/think he is short, so she wants to make Sly look good. She's worked with him, they're probably friends, etc., so she helps him out. Every single one of us has probably like for/or exaggerated for, someone we know/care about. And, again, I go with Zach. In at least one photo, Sly looks shorter than Stone. And, he does surround himself with lots of shorter actors, just like Norris. Look at Rocky, Tango and Cash, and many others.

I just saw photos from Stallone's movie "The Specialist." In the shower scene with 5'8" Sharon Stone, Sly is about 2" taller. I would link the photos but they are a bit too risque for this forum.

Sharon Stone is not 5'8". REPEAT! SHARON STONE IS NOT 5'8". I stood right next to her when she wore flats and she was no more than about 5'7" at the very most and probably around 5'6.5". I could easily look over the top of her empty head. Stone may claim a lot of things such as when she claimed she suffered from cancer and was somehow miraculously cured. Later when caught in an obvious lie she recanted. Never, ever trust what a celeb says. NEVER!!

Vaj-Yes I agree with you, Sly certainly doesn't appear tall in that scene, but you have to consider that Sharon Stone is a good 5'8",maybe 5'8.5 like she says, (not 5'7"!!!)and I don't see Stallone being shorter than her in that scene. I think he is 1 or 1.25 inch taller than her.

Listen Nolifts81, it is pretty obvious that Sly is short in the shower pic's with 5'7" Sharon. Now you can choose to think he is tall barfooted, but those pictures are worth a thousand words.

Real Anonimous- I remember that she answered he is 5'10" with a great body, because the journalist asked her if Stallone was relly short or not. And she answered in that way.Was an old interwiew after the release of the "Specialist".

Nolifts81, you are correct as usual. Sly can appear to be 5'10 or even 5'11 at times. It all depends on the footwear he is wearing at the time.He has been reported to be 5'7 by a few people who have seen him in barefeet . I believe Sharon Stone would have said he has a great body, but it sounds kind of funny for her to say he is 5'10 and has a great body. Nice try Nolifts.

It's funny that when I was Watching Escape to Victory the other day, the first shot of Sly is next to a really short guy....to make himself appear taller? I wonder if this is arranged in more of his films. Tina, wife of Bobby Moore - who was also in the film, said that Sly wanted a trampoline so he could appear to be jumping higher while he was acting in his role as a goalkeeper on the football team. Also, he had to have his football kit (uniform) tailored to his body to make him look really muscly wheras everybody else had to make do with the same sizes...

Editor Rob its an 'open secret' to some folk, especially since there's not that many Rob Paul's around the town I live ;-) I guess for the last 3 years I have became more 'crazy' about height and some close to me actually laugh about it...
I had thought about doing this site back in the 90's but kept thinking of the effort involved to do it and the returns (money) and thought 'bugger that'. I actually still class this site more as a hobbyish one as opposed to it being in existance solely 'to make money'...
...then early 2004 when I had time to properly do it I done it - basically I was getting increasingly annoyed with a lot of the heights floating about the web etc...

Editor Rob Ah, yes, you see, one of the reasons for doing this site was to accumulate such quotes into one place since no other websites had made available where potential heights might have came from. In other words, I have researched - used online/offline book searches, magazine searches (some paid search sites), normal web searches, agency searches, ageny requests, visitor quote submissions. It's taken a lot of time over last 2 years researching quotes, believe me!
Speaking of Will Smith, I was reading a French interview where he 'said' I'm 190cm. Of course, he probably said '6ft 2' and the interviewer screwed up the conversion to cm!

ha ha shredder, I'm still a uni student, not a qualified doc working crazy hours. I comment on Sly a lot cos I'm actually a very big Stallone fan, I've seen pretty much all his films and countless pictures of him and I just cant help but notice how in every film he uses some sort of footwear/camera angles to make him look taller than he actually is. And given the people he's stood next to and the considerable size of his footwear...I just cant see him near the 5'10 he claims.
See I'm also a big Schwarzenegger fan (bit of an 80s nostalgic moi) and I really do think he's 6ft+ so I'm not trying to belittle these action stars just to make myself feel better.
Also - Glenn and Frank2, who've both met Arnie are in agreement regarding his 6ft+ height, yet when it comes to Sly...there's a good 2-3inch difference. Like I said if both Glenn and Frank saw Sly as the same height then maybe more would accept whatever height it is they concur on.
Also, he's just such an enigma. Soo to recap, Sylvester Stallone isss...
Glenn: 5'9/10
Briggitte Neilsen: 5'9
Hulk Hogan: 5'8 max
Sly's sister: 5'7/8? (said he was shorter than her height of 5'9)
Goldberg: 5'7
Frank2: 5'7

Secondly, to say that it'd 'be fair to give him what he looks like, even if he's not' would be kinda contradictory and self defeating to what this site is all about dont you think? i.e. Cutting through all the dressing up, elevator shoes and getting to the stars' genuine heights. Crikey if Rob put Sly as to what he 'looks like' think how many adjustments would have to be made all over the site! Cruise, Gibson, every actress that wears heels...
p.s. I might study PMS (medic here) but I certainly dont suffer from it! Grr.

rob, do you ever think 175cm (5'9) is low for him ? are you really just don't trust hes footwear and thats why you keep him 5'9 ? even though my opinion meens s*** .... it is kinda funny that he always looks a solid 5'10 guy like you said . or you can give him 170cm for a week and 178cm the next . lol pointless but funny lol . now zach , for some dumb reason i always like to talk to you ( even though you seem to have p.m.s sometimes lol) . its good to here you think he could be 5'9 . well sometimes these a part of me that makes me think he really is 5'8 like you say . really if you think about the hogan pics .... sly 5'7 , vince macahon 5'8.5 and hulk hogan 5'10 lol. rob does not ever have to put sly up to 5'10 , but i think its fair to give him what he looks. even if hes not?

Saw him at my gym in London in 2001 - he's taller than his frame lets on because he's so bulky - up close he's no shorter than 5'10" and we even had almost identical Nikes on (I looked and they seems normal to me).

Well go watch the specialist scene for yourself Leonari, they're both clearly barefooted. I didnt capture stillshot with them barefooted cos there were other parts showing which I dont think Rob would allow to be shown on here.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and that picture with Stallone sitting next to his trainer says a lot. He is wearing the largest "sneakers" I have ever seen and the shoe laces are tied very loose which can only mean..........that he has very large swollen feet.

I posted this comment on the owner of WWE Vince McMahon's celeb height forum:
Here's a link with Vince, Hogan, and Stallone during Hogan's induction into WWE Hall of Fame. Picture is very peculiar, can anyone explain or have an idea as all three men look like they are in close in height. Supposedly Stallone is 5'7, Hogan 6'5 (listed at WWF at 6'8) and McMahon is 6'2.

Lifts or no lifts, the Hulkster and McMahon are still not short.

Glenn is right, Sly's height is quite freaky. I really dont think he's 5'10. There is a possiblity of 5'9, but given the barefoot pictures and sightings of both Frank2 and Goldberg who swear he's 5'7, I think he's height is more in the 5'7/8 region. More likely 5'8. Who knows man.

In the picture with you and Sly, do you think if you would of worn the same Herman the Munster trainers as Sly you would be the same height in the picture?
Of course you would be b/c he is 5'8" like you!

leonari,
Listen Sly is 5'8" & 5'11" in lifts max. With all his military poster and breaking his back stretching can appear closer to 6'.
I think you are the person that needs to take basic math. He does not need 5" lifts for Sly 5'8" to appear 5'11", have you seen his Herman the Monster trainers? Sly lifts are pretty noticeable that there are huge lifts(5'8"+ 1.5" heels + 1.5" hidden lift= 5'11") and walkable.
The reason I believe there are sighting of him 5'7" is when someone who is 5'8" barefooted and in shoes makes them 5'9.5" and if the see Sly barfooted will think they are taller than Sly and do not consider that there are in shoes and claim Sly 5'7" but in reality Sly is 5'8".
How do you explain all those sightings of him 5'7" I know how to explain the sightings of 5'11" his Monster lifts.

Anonymous: Martial arts guy...of course. I keep going to the gym don't worry (4 % body fat and ripped like hell). You are probably one of these lanky guys, extremely thin who think he can kick- ass. Well probably you can with 6 days a week of Martial Arts!! But 5'8" for Stallone still ain't right and a concept you guys don't seem to grasp is that in order to appear a full 3 inches taller when using lifts you need lifts of almost 5 inches. If you don't understand this concept...well then can't help you man. Take some geometry classes and try to figure it out. Rob explained this a while ago..So if Stallone is 5'8" and looks 5'11" regularly, he must have 5 inches of lifts,insoles. 5 inches lifts are impossible!!!!!!! Do you know how much 5 inches are??????? Thats around 13 cm if that helps. No one can walk or look normal with 5 inch lifts no one! Not even some martial Arts smart ass like you!!

**THE REAL ANONYMOUS** Leonari, maybe you should stop the crap. If some of think he is between 5'7-5'9, it is because we think he is. The guy wears some pretty big lifts. I train MMA-Mixed Martial Arts six days a week, and i have been doing so for seven years. Thanx for the workout advise Leonari, but maybe you should keep going to the gym and stick a dumbell where the sun does'nt shine. Oh yea , 5'8 max and 5'11 with his munster trainers.

Nolifts81 - Watch the picture of Sly and 190cm Ernie Els and are you still saying he's 176-177cm tall? I absolutley don't think so. There is a reason for him being claimed short and that's not just because he is wearing lifts. I think maximum 171cm sounds pretty accurate.

Hey leonari, I hear ya man .. I'm pretty new to this site, but the more topics I read, the more I see a recurring trend in how many people have a need to "downgrade" celebrity's heights, probably some way of bolstering their own egos and insecurities about themselves. I've yet to see a topic where readers have "underestimated" a celeb's true height. You should check out the "Bruce Lee" forum that have guys trying to peg Bruce down to 5'6" or even 5'5".
Like I've said so before, I think we're all convinced Sly is a little small for a Hollywood action-star, but there's no way that he's "Tom Cruise small". I'm still sticking with my own personal guesstimate of 174cm (5'8.75") with a possible morning height of 5'9" or 5'9.5". I'm reasoning that he's definitely not small, but "small enough" that people 5'9" or over are convinced that he's shorter than them, something that probably wouldn't happen to a solid 5'9"'er.
Also, Sly himself is quoted as saying he's 5'10". Now knowing how sensitive he probably is about his own height, using lifts, etc.. he probably gave himself an extra inch or so as most people do. Of course this is speculation, but if he were a true 5'10"'er, he'd probably say he's 5'11" or could maybe even get away with 6' (that's just a wild guess and opinion, I'll be the first to admit it, don't flame me please).

The guy is absolutely average. 5'9"- 5'10". Glenn said it. I analyzed every movie he played in. Yes he uses lifts in movies and private. So what?? that makes him 5'7"?? 5'8"??please guys instead of writing tons of bull go to the gym and work out if you wann look like sly. Stop the crap. at 5'8 there should be a single movie, picture of him looking tiny. Nobody came up with it so far...Look at Cruise: there are tons of pics and movies where he looks short, shorter than most guys etc...NOW thats a 5'7" guy.

Zach,
The first image was manipulated, the second one was not. I saw this pictire when it was first circulated in magazines 15 years ago, and the second one (Where Schiffer is taller) is correct. In fact, this is the first time I've seen one where Stallone is taller....The likely result of someone having fun with photoshop. I do think the original photo reflects their true height and is a good point of reference. Schiffer - who I saw and stood next to at a book signing in Century City many years ago, is easily 182-183cm and Stallone is 175-177cm.

Claudia Schiffer is not 5'11" but 5'11.75(182cm) and 128lbs. I have the famous "Elite agency" model's book with all the mesurations. Stallone is 2 inches shorter than Claudia Schiffer.I think he is 176-177cm. No less than that!

Thanks for the full pic, Zach. Now that I see their feet, this is actually working to Sly's advantage. Schiffer is 5'11" and is a bit closer to the foreground in Zach's first pic. It also throws you off because Schiffer has a leaner head-to-body proportion as would be expected with a supermodel vs. a muscleman. So it does give a bit of an illusion that she's a lot taller than Stallone .. but in reality, if they both straighten up, it would appear that Claudia Schiffer would only be about 2 inches taller than Sly Stallone. Since Schiffer's known to be a solid 5'11" from many sources, e.g.:
Then that'd make Sly Stallone a 5'9", spot-on with the Editor's guesstimate. I'll add that it's probably a "weak" 5'9" though (i.e. 174cm rather than 175-176cm), maybe on a good day when Sly catches lots of sleep he'll be a solid 5'9" .. I'm saying this since a few 5'9"-ers here have claimed to be taller than Sly after meeting him, but my guess is that they caught him on an "off" day wearing flat shoes (with maybe a combination of the viewer having a "good" sleep day with high shoes, etc...).

My2Cents, that Stallone-Schiffer pic has been discussed before, I really dont think that can be used as a reference point as its been clearly manipulated. They are actually barefooted but the angles and everything about the picture has been engineered.

You make the most sense 2 cents. Vaj-thepeople who see him at 5-7 I think are really seeing a 5-9 liftless SLY,and lets face it,5-9 on a screen legend is a shock to some of its shortness.so its human nature too see that 40 foot shark that was only 20,and to see 5-8 to 5-10 actors at 5-5 to 5-7.and SLY isnt the only myth going in the actor world.

***THE REAL ANONYMOUS*** The 6' plus sightings are brutal. I don't have any other word to describe them for now. 5'11 could be possible, but only when wearing his larger lifts. 5'8 barefoot, and as for the showr scene, i don't think it would be possible to have Kurt appear taller than Sly in that scene, and we all know why.

Well Sly's wife website lists her at 5'9". And my friend knows Sly's height because he seen him without his lifts many times they lived togther for 3 years and were best friends. Lee now owns his own boxing gym in Houston Texas and still swears he is 5'8". Frank2 also has seen him shorter than 5'9" without his lifts, why do you think there are so many short sighting of Sly,how do explain that?
You have said yourself Glenn, that your friends have witness Russel at 5'8"-5'9".
I used my own common sense when I met Ahmed and relised he was not that tall and it does not surprise me that Sly has to use his Herman the Munster trainers to look as tall as Ahmed.
The only thing insane are Sly's trainers.

Do you know for sure what his wifes height is? and Kurt Russels? you met both? I never met them,and I dont know for sure and neither do you.just like nobody knows for sure Slys height.my friends tell me Kurt is 5-9.you seem to ignore the fact Sly is an inch taller in that shower scene,which would make Sly 5-9,5-10.your still on that 5-11 tip.you never mention when he can look 6ft,6ft.5,which would be insane if he was 5-7,5-8.

Nolifts81 - Stallone does look 2 inches taller than 5'8 Glenn in the picture and they are both standig up straight, Pele is shorter than Glenn and the difference between Pele and Stallone is smaller than the difference between him and Glenn. My opinion is 170 - 172cm MAXIMUM for Sylvester :)

I still believe he is 5'8" barefooted and 5'9.5 in shoes and 5'11" in Herman the Munster trainers. I have said this time after time and many still do not clearly see or do not want to believe it ,let's compare him to somone who is 5'9 his wife.
At the Lakers game they both are wearing 3" high heels. When seated you can clearly see Sly's 3" trainers and his wife 3" heels.
Click Here
Now when Sly in his 3" trainers stands looking 5'11" giving the appearance that he is a solid 5'10" barefooted. And his wife 5'9" with her 3" high heels if she strainghtens up military style like Sly she is taller at 6'.
Click Here
Also you can see that Sly has a small upper body frame. Now he wore the same pair on the Contender and next to Ahmed he was the same height with Herman the Munter trainers and funny thing is when I ran into Ahmed he was only 1/2" taller than me and I am 5'9" barfooted and if I would of worn Sly trainers I would have taller Ahmed like Sly's wife.
By the way Russel is 5'8" barefooted and 5'9.5 in shoes and Stone is 5.6.5"-5'7" barefooted 5'8" in shoes.
The problem is people include their shoes when claiming their height.
With all that said I believe he is 5'8" and maybe 5'9" max.

i believe he's 5.9.
1- Brigit nielsen said he was this height
2- he has the same height than Russel in Tango and Cash (shower scene) and Russel is 5.9 !
3- he appears to be 1/2 or inch taller than Sharon Stone again in the shower scene of The Expert (Stone is 5.8)
4- he has always said he's 5.10 he could not lie for more than 1 inch !
5- A bodybuilder of 5.9 always appears shorter than a skinny Man of 5.9...
6- In rocky III, he was 2 inch shorter than Mister T (5.11)
Results : 5.9

Mo66- Pasquale Di Fabrizio is not still in business.One thing I have to say: Stallone is taller than Kurt Russell (almost 1 inch).Stallone is taller than Sharon Stone(1.25 inch).I think that Russell is 5'9" and Sharon Stone is, like she said a lot of time, 5'8.5.

Ah, k, I see what you mean Glenn, you think he probably wears lifts to get him to 6ft, which'd be harder to detect than 4/5inch elevators, fair enough thats understandable.
I'll be honest Glenn if what you, Frank2 and Goldberg for that matter, all of whom have seen Sly in real life, were in concordance with each other that he was 5'9-10 then I'd honestly accept it. But you and the other two are a good 2-3inches apart in your estimations, I think its that plus the fact that Frank2 has seen Sly barefoot and also Sly's Herman Munster shoes that he wears that convinces some of us that he's not quite 5'9/10.
p.s. ForensicNYC, that last picture there cracked me up! Maybe thats whats under Sly's jeans! Click Here

We all can take it from Sly and use "special shoes" within our budget like this:
Click Here
But if our girlfriend came to our date with this, we're goners...
Click Here
So we raise the stakes and buy a better shoe...
Click Here
But she, like IMELDA MARCOS, has some more shoes up her sleeve...

So we seriously contemplate on buying this...

You do this all the time.I SEE him look 6ft in DRESS SHOES.of course he wears lifts.but to be 5-7 and appear 6ft in dress shoes I would think is near impossible.that shower scence I recalled SLY looking an inch bigger than possible 5-9 Kurt.I swear thats what I remembered,its been 5 years since I saw it.evidence in those 2 shower scences would put him closer to 5-9 actually at the least.

Glenn with all respect calm down you get too excited, do not take it personally. Even if you have seen him in regular shoes you can count on that Sly does have his lifts on maybe 2" making him appear 5'10". No I do not have an ego I have common sense and I am intitled to my own opioion and the people that know him the best(family and friends) back me up.
Glenn, I do not care how many times you have seen him the fact is you have seen him with shoes on and we are talking about Sly here so I am sure his sandles, shoes or trainers have some type of lifts that fool you.
Now I am 5'9" barefooted and 5'10.5" in shoes and muscluar and I have never been accused of being short. Infact many think I am 5'11" but the truth is I am 5'10.5" in shoes(no lifts). I have met Agassi 5'11.5" he was only 1" taller than me and Ahmed 5'11" which I was surprised he was 1/2" taller than me because he is listed as 6'1" in the Contender. The picture of Sly with Agassi he is wearing his Herman the Monster trainers and Sly is still alittle shorter. In the Contender with 5'11" Ahmed guess what Sly is wearing his Monster trainers throughout the show and again is the same height as Ahmed.
At the Lakers game with wife again he is wearing his Monster trainers (he has same pair in different colors) next to his wife which by the way is 5'9" and has 3" heels and is still taller than him even with his 3" trainers on.
Kurt Russell is also 5'8" barefooted and 5'9" in shoes and in Tango/Cash shower scene the are the same height.
In the shower scene with 5'6.5-5'7" Sharon Stone Sly is an 1" taller barefooted.
I think I have made my point!

Think about what you just said Glenn. Sly has said on many occasions he's 5'10, so he's obviously NOT more than 5'10. But the very fact that you see him as 6.05 AND see nothing wrong with his dress shoes means that you've already been fooled. If Sly is as he says 5'10, to get to 6.05 he'd have to wear 2.5inch shoes - i.e. elevators, yet you see them as regular dress shoes.
The maths clearly point out that whatever his real height is, he's definitely wearing lifts/elevators of some sort to get to 6.05 and the fact that you cant see them as elevators means that they could be any size whatsoever.
Personally I dont blame you or anyone else that meets him and thinks he wears regular shoes, his footwear on more occasions than not are extremely well crafted.
Look at the shoes here for example Click Here
If I didnt know about Sly and his obsession with elevators I'd say they're pretty normal trainers, yet we all know how high they take him. Its only cos we know about him n his height insecurities that we start to look at his leg length etc. Convert those trainers into shoes (which I'm sure his shoemaker can do), add black trousers, suit etc and you're a perfectly clamoufouged 'six footer'.

Vaj- many people look to a person and imagine how tall he is. Very often they are wrong! Or a lot of persons think that they are taller than they really are.I wouldn't appear like a saccent or a man that has all the answers, but I think that I am able to estimate the height of a person. In every Stallone's movie I've never seen Sly appears shorter than 5'10" and, in the movies where he had lifts on he appeared to be a good 6 footer or, depending, a good 5'11".But if you see "Get Carter" or "The specialist" where for SURE he hadn't lifts inside the shoes, you'll see his real height. He is not 5'7" or 5'8"(is absurd!). I think he is nearly 5'10". The 5'9" could be also a possibility(all is possible) but I think he is a little bit more than 175 cm. I Try to be more realistic. Vaj- I esteem you, but we have different points of wiews. Obviously I can be wrong.

The problem is,most of the time when I see him,he is wearing dress shoes or casual shoes,not those ridiculous trainers.which amazes me that some people think he wears those same trainers all the time to events, interveiws,filming or dinner,where I catch on occasion looking 6ft,6ft.5.always 5-11.5.most people cant except the fact and realise he can be 5-10.its not tall.drop the egos.I always admitted I could be wrong.you people never saw the guy,yet you know everything,and go judge,jury and executioner on his ass.I still give him no shorter than 5-9.Christ,the man could lie and say he is 6ft and get away with it a bit,cause he can look it.saying 5-10 is to me,reasonable.even if he is 5-8.cause he looks bigger than 5-10 when I see him.

Listen to all who are still fooled by Sly's fake height.
He is 5'11" in his oversize trainers and by him stretching and bracking his back trying to appear taller he may look closer to 5'11.5" appear close 6'. If he was 5'10" barefooted he would be 5'11.5" in regular shoes and if he wanted to appear 6' all he would need is 1" lift to appear 6'1/2". But his trainers are obviously lager lifts than 1" more like(1.5" heel + 1.5" lift= 3") and can be walkable.
If women can adapt to walking in 3"-4" heels so can Sly, we know he has had alot practise.
I know for fact that is 5'8" after talking to someone who lived with him for 3 years and also meeting Ahmed who told me he was his height 5'11" in shoes. Ahmed is 5'10" barefooted. He also told me Sly did wear large trainers to appear his height.
Sorry but we know he uses Herman the Monster lifts to appear taller, how can you expain the 5'8 sighting or 5'9" in shoes(no lifts)?

Exactly, of course a twenty dollar lift ordered over the net will only get you up so far. But just think how much and for what reason Stallone invests in specialised elevators.

Leung- I wear lifts from more than 7 years. If you buy shoes from heightincreasingshoes.com or other companies on the net you can be only 3.5 taller but if you go to custom like me or better like Stallone or Cruise the things are different. Custom made Elevator boots can increase your height(barefoot height) of exactly 4 inches. The problem is to walk with them. You should be able to walk normal with those shoes!. I can assure you that.You think that Stallone is about 5'10" barefoot and I am agree with you!

**THE REAL ANONYMOUS** Shredder, you never asked me if it was okay to change your name, you will be known as tgri for the time being. tgri,Sly is 5'10-5'11 with his lifts on, 5'8 max. Nolifts, if Sly has a two inch heel on his boots, you can bet he has 1.5-2 inches built up inside of them. Zach, Frank2, Vag, Felix, SF etc...Should we keep Sly at 5'7 or should we upgrade him to 5'8 max ?

Many people have unrealistic expections in regards to how much extra height can be gained from lifts. In comparison to regular dress shoes or sneakers lifts will give 1.5

Thank you Glenn. I've seen and I still see a lot of different types of elevator shoes and different tipes of lifts. I have years and years of experience in this subject.Stallone is the King of the elevator shoes! He walks normal also with 4 inches lifts(for an height increase of 4 inches his feet should be at 4.75 minimun).But when he wears dress shoes (rarely) I don't think he has more than 1 inch lifts inside the shoe. Very rarely, he has no lifts in dress shoes( look at"Get CArter" or "The Specialist". Tom Cruise after Nichole Kidman wears costantly dress shoes or stylish boot with 2.5inchs lifts, for to appear a solid 5'9" guy (barefoot). In reality I think that he is 172cm, but when he was with Nichole Kidman he also weared costantly 4 inches elevator boots and he walked a little funny. Stallone I think he is 176-177 cm(barefoot) but he walks better than Cruise in 4 inches elevator boots.

He walks normal also with 4 inches lifts(for an height increase of 4 inches his feet should be at 4.75 minimun).But when he wears dress shoes (rarely) I don't think he has more than 1 inch lifts inside the shoe. Very rarely, he has no lifts in dress shoes( look at"Get CArter" or "The Specialist". Tom Cruise after Nichole Kidman wears costantly dress shoes or stylish boot with 2.5inchs lifts, for to appear a solid 5'9" guy (barefoot). In reality I think that he is 172cm, but when he was with Nichole Kidman he also weared costantly 4 inches elevator boots and he walked a little funny. Stallone I think he is 176-177 cm(barefoot) but he walks better than Cruise in 4 inches elevator boots.

By the way, if James Wood is 6' tall then why is he at least two inches shorter than Jim Belushi? Hmmmmmmm?????

I've said it before and I can prove it now, he's maximum 5'7! :)
Here's two photos of him and the famous golfplayer Ernie Els which is 190 cm for sure and that's a fact. Sly doesn't seem to wear any type of lifts in these pictures but we know he can hide them very well :P He doesn't even look 5'7 in this pictures.
Click Here
and this second photo he is standing a bit higher than Ernie and he doesn't look 5'7 at all...
Click Here
Here is also a picture beetween him and Pele (169cm?) and he does look about 170 cm if Pele would stand up straight, but he is also maybe wearing lifts? Click Here I think heights like 5'9 and 5'8 could be deleted (Bad english I know :() I Hope this will help you guys!

Nolifts, it is already known that most of those celebs you mentioned wear lifts. You must admit to us that Sly is the King of lifts, and that Mae West is a close secont.

The top disputed Heights are the heights of actors that wear lifts.I am very expert about elevator shoes or lifts inside the shoes. This is my personal list of very famous actors that wear elevator shoes or lifts:
Sylvester Stallone(the king,0,0);Tom Cruise(the prince,0,0);Burt Reynolds;Humphrey Bogart; John Wayne;Frank Sinatra;William Shatner;Dustin Hoffman;singer Elthon John;Nicholas Cage;Don Johnson;Robert Downey jr;Eric Roberts;Joe Pesci;Antonio Banderas;Kiefer Sutherland;Paul Newman(I've seen him, and his elevator shoes yesterday in an italian program,0,0);Mickey Rourke(sometimes,0,0); Michael Douglas(sometimes,0,0);George Lucas(sometimes,0,0); Mel Gibson(sometimes,0,0);Steven Seagal(sometimes he wants to appear taller than he is, and barefoot he is very tall 6'4.5, maybe is not enought for him).
I've seen accurately the shoes of them (by seeing movie or pics)and I can say that they very often wear elevator shoes or lifts inside the shoes.I know, there are a lot of other actors that wear elevator shoes or lifts.

Hey Rob - just a suggestion. Put a prominent link on your site - Top Disputed Heights - or something like that. A cool place to instantly see the top 5 or six stars who are argued about the most. I think it would be interesting to see.

nolifts81, you are correct Sly is the undisputed king of the elevator shoes. Sly has been wearing elevator shoes for more than thirty years and that is probably longer than you have been born. Maybe 5'7, but max 5'8.

If Sly wears elevator shoes that increase his stature of 4 exactly inches and he still walk normal I think that he is the king of the elevator shoes.I know well that for having an height increase of 4 inches exactly you have to wear shoes that put your feet at minimum 4.75 inchs.Last years I weared that kind of boots and is quite impossible to walk. I walked very funny (And I have the experience of 7 years in walking in elevator shoes). Maybe Sly has more experience than me and he walks normal.However I don't think the Guy is short, I think that he wears those shoes for appearing a Big Guy!. I think he is in the perfect average but wants to appears bigger.

Thank you Zach, and Vaj for the support.Yes I've noticed the camera tricks. But how tall do you think Sandra Bullock is in shoes?Consider that apparently she should wears the same Sly boots(forget the lifts inside). With "apparently" the same boots on Sly was 2 to 3 inches taller than her (only my opinion).In another Scene at "Pizza hut" Sandra (listed at 5'7") is in 3 inches heels and Stallone wears normal dress shoes with less than 1 inches heel and absolutely no room for accomodate any kind of lifts(We should be all agree about those shoes!!!)and he is a little bit taller, almost 1 inch(2cm).Stallone wears those shoes also in her apartment(the scene where they do that kind of strange sex, I think that we could do the same sex in 2020!What a horrible prospective!). However I've noticed another tricks: when Stallone should be barefoot next to Bob Gunton he was nearly 4 inches shorter than him, but when he wears those big boots the difference between the two is the same! What it means? Maybe Stallone was not barefoot in that scene?(the face to face scene).I know that in all of Stallone movies there are a lot of tricks used for let the people to think that Stallone is a Big Guy, but, still I can't imagine that Stallone is less than 5'9.5

Well like I have said he would not look 6' to me after meeting 5'11" Ahmed who did not look 6'1" as claimed on the show.Sly and Ahmed were about the same height. I was surprised that he was 1/2" taller than me. I asked him if Sly was short and Ahmed said laughing that he was short and that he wore 3" elevator trainers to appear his height.
Now people who are shorter would have seen Ahmed 6'but he was only 5'11" in shoes.

Hey nolifts, if you watched Demoltion Man yesterday you couldnt have failed to notice the crazy camera angles in that scene where he was barefooted! Throughout the whole scene as he's walking around they were using 'ground up; camera angles, until he came face to face with Bob Gunton who was towering over him.
Ofcourse once he was suited and booted in those humongous elevators, the film reverted to normal camera angles, cos Sly by then was a 'normal' height!
Click Here
Just look at those footwear! Forget internal lifts, theres a solid 3-4 inch block under there!! And trust me he was running around like crazy in full action mode in Demoltion Man! Another answer to those who say its impossible for him to walk around in 4inch footwear without toppling over or something. He runs, let alone walk, and does everything else in them in Demolition Man without ever looking like he's off-balance. This guy has clearly mastered the art of deception.

ForensicNYC - your picture is a great "study" in shoes with lifts vs normal shoes. Compare the size of Stallone's shoes to the guy's shoes sitting next to him. Stallone might actually house his own specialized shoe-maker in them to use at a moment's notice, given his shoes are the size of Rhode Island...

Those trainers and the footwear in demolition man are unreal.There is no need for a 5'10 actor to wear shoes like that unless he is in a horror movie.

I am also glad Nolifts81 is still around, we are all just sharing our thoughts on Sly fake height.
I know for a fact that Sly is around 5'8" after meeting Ahmed form the reality show called Contender. Ahmed is no more than 5'9.5 or 5'10" barefooted and 5'11" in shoes when I ran into him this past Saturday at the mall. I am 5'10.5 in shoes and 5'9" barefooted and Ahmed was only .5" taller than me. I also told him about this sight and he did confirm that Sly was his height but that Sly obviously wore shoes to make him elevate him to his height.

Yes Zach, those shoes in Demolition man looks not normal. I think he was in lifts in that movie. But I remember also the scene where he walked barefoot near Sandra Bullock (and she is in shoes)and I think he was clearly taller than her. Sandra is listed at 5'7" and with shoes on she should be a good 5'8" or 5'8.5. Sly,barefoot, was taller.I've seen "Demolition man" yesterday and I've had this impression.Maybe I'm wrong or Sandra Bullock is less than 5'7".

I'm sorry is went off on you. But you insisted that Woods was six feet tall. He's not. I mean it's like someone telling me it's night out when I can clearly see the sun's still up. I was probably venting more fury at Parker who for some reason couldn't see that Woods is shorter than Harrison Ford in the photo I published. I apologize to all.
By the way, I was in Italy last November with my wife and we both fell in love with your country and its people.

Also to those wanting to know why he doesnt walk funny, remember that this guy has been wearing elevators/lifts for a MINIMUM of 30 years (Rocky was made in 1976 and he was wearing massive elevators in those), he visibly ran at full pace in Tango and Cash again wearing large heels, and like I mentioned before he even FAUGHT in them at the end of Rocky V! I remember even Rob was saying that at the start of a film (was it Escape to Victory) that Sly was running about allsorts with his elevators on.
Sly has clearly mastered the art of LOOKING tall. In posture, heavily elevated but disguised elevators and in walking, running or even fighting in them.

Editor Rob he was running about with larger than normal heels 'playing' soccer, but I'm not so sure if they were elevators now...

Yeah Ahmed and Sly were around the same height. Those trainers add a MINIMUM 3 inches (since they're three times the size of regular ones AND have lifts in them) more like 4+inches, so again the 5'7-8 range is the most plausible one.
I watched all of Contender by the way, I found it to be really good, but I did notice there was not a single scene where Sly didnt have his elevator trainers on, more often than not he had on the black ones.

It is funny how people think they are taller than they really are. I met Ahmed form Sly's reality show Contender at the mall this weekend. He was a contender on that show and he is listed as being 6'1", but the funny thing is he was only about 1/2" taller than me making him 5'11" in shoes and very skinny. I stand 5'10.5" in shoes and 5'9" barefooted, and I told him about this sight and he told me Sly was about his height but he did notice his trainers were larger than normal.
It make sense that when he wears his Herman the Monster trainers he is 5'11" like Ahmed said and without them he is only 5'8".

I appreciate your words Zach.I am aware that silly sly can be 5-7.but it doesnt makes sense to what I saw.you could usually tell when someone has a 5-7 body,stumbling with MUNSTER lifts.I say he can LOOK 5-10 to 6ft.but I think in bare feet 5-9 minimum.what about the person who worked with him that agreed he is 5-10.5 barefoot?

Hey Nolifts81, both Frank2 and Glenn have stated their experience of seeing sly over and over again, I think we should all respect them for their opinions and trust that their viewings are a lot more accurate than our internet found pictures.
Frank2: Sly 5'7
Goldberg: Sly 5'7
Glenn: Sly 5'10-6ft
Funnily enough this does actually make sense - Frank2 and Goldberg both saw Stallone barefeet and we all know the extortionate size of Stallone's shoes to get him up and above the 5'9/10 mark. Although Glenn also saw Sly in sandals and still tall. Sly is sly as a very sly Sly.

**THE REAL ANONYMOUS** Frank2, some people are never going to get it no matter what you say, but there are alot more people in here who do get it.Those trainers are unreal, i don't think a 5'10 would where such a shoe to add some height. I could see a 5'7 guy where them if he wanted to be 5'11 though.

Well, first off, did you check out the shots of Woods? He's about as much six feet as I'm 6'2"! I'm absolutely amazed at the ignorance exhibited by some on this forum. Are you his agent? What do you have to gain by proving something that simply isn't true? I'm just curious. I find it fascinating when I end up arguing subjects with people and realize they just don't have a clue as to what they're discussing. When Stallone walked by me he was several inches shorter. He was short enough that I could almost look over the top of his head. How's that for being short? Did you see how small he looked in the photos I published of him next to Arnold? He came up to Arnold's nose! And he wore lifts! My God almighty!! Who are you, Blanche DuBois? "I don't want realism. I want magic!"

James Woods is 182 cm! Stallone is 2 inches shorter than Woods. So Stallone is 177 cm. Frank2- When Stallone walked barefoot near you, how many inches, you think, he was shorter than you? You claim to be 5'11" so with normal shoes on you are 6ft. He was more than 2 good inches shorter than you? I don't think so.

Nonsense. First off, the photo is slightly tilted to give Woods more height. By arranging it back so the horizontal line is perfectly perpendicular to the sides of the frame you'll clearly see that Woods is shorter. And I've not only seen Woods, I've stood right next to him. We once spoke about his claim he saw some of the 9/11 hijackers on a rehearsal flight, something that the FBI later questioned him about. At no time was he my height. Not unless I slouched down. He's the type who stands erect all the time so he'll look as tall as possible. I can't explain why Fox looked a full head shorter. Maybe Woods wore lifts.
Rob, that shot of Woods makes him look like one of the aliens in This Island Earth!

"In the photograph you posted, if you put a ruler across the photograph Woods looks the same height as Ford?"
You're kidding? Right?
Look, I've seen Woods. He's not six feet. I have two actor friends who've worked with him who agree with me. He's 5'10". Sharon Stone could be 5'7", but not a centimeter taller. Stallone is no more than 5'7". At least that's how short he appeared when he walked past me and then back againg in his stocking feet.

Shredder (your new name sends trembles down my spine by the way;) take a look at Sly's trainers, they are seriously THREE TIMES the size of regular shoes
Click Here
The guy to the right is wearing standard shoes which everyone seems to agree is 1.5", which would make Sly's overall heel around the 4.5" mark. AND he's obviously got lifts in there on top as Rob and Vaj have pointed out his ankle bone's way out of position. Seriously just compare the size of those two footwear and see.
Funny thing is if Sly was alone in that picture (i.e. no other footwear to compare to) I wouldnt think twice, his shoemaker has done a REALLY good job of trying to make them conspicious. My guess is the black version of his trainers (the ones his wearing next to Hogan and in most places) are even bigger or at least better at hiding their elevator status simply cos they're black and so naturally look smaller.
Sly is a very...sly guy.

Editor Rob yes, the bald guy's footwear and ankle is lower down noticeably...most of the time the trousers are going to drape over such shoes so you'd never suspect...they are oversized to accomodate a lift, the only conclusion I can come to.

Thats your opinion nolifts81, I've also seen the stallone/stone shower scene numerous times and to me Stone is marginally, but still clearly, taller.
Remember there are two scenes - the first where they're making out you can see everything including their feet and its obvious she's taller. In the second scene they're scrubbing up and you can only see their upper bodies, and Stallone stays on the same spot the whole time whilst Stone is the one moving about, I bet you the size of Stallone's trainers that he's standing on some sort of platform there (and thats a BIG bet).

That photo should clear things up for those who claim Stone is nearly 5'9". I've met both women and I tower over both of them when they're wearing low heels and I'm just 5'11".
Vaj, the trouble here is that the big Hollywood publity machine has done a number on people's heads. They feel that since it's official it must be the truth. Just like in politics, what's official it turns out to be utter BS!

There is no getting through you guys that Sly is 5'8" barefooted. He is not 6' he is 5'11" with his Herman the Monster trainers which we have seen many time.
Sharon Stone is 5'6"- 5'7" barefooted and 5'8" in sneakers and 5'10" in heels. So if Stone is 5'7" then Sly is 5'8" barefooted.
Here is a picuture of Stone and Ellen who is 5'5.1/2-5'6".
Click Here
Nolifts81, here is a mug shot of Eric Roberts standing 5'10" in shoes so 5'9" without shoes and don't let his big hair fool you.
The problem is that people include there shoes when claimming there height. According to my friend Lee Continito, he claims Armand Assante is 5'9" and Sly is 5'8" and I believe him because he co-stared with them as the 3rd brother in Paradise Alley and he has seen them all barefooted.
Sure Sly somethimes is seen 5'9" in shoes or 5'10" (1"hidden lift) or 5'11" (Herman the Monster trainers) because is 5'8" barefooted.
Lee laughs and says that it is obvious reason that Sly wears oversize shoes to appear taller, because he is short.

Thank you Glenn! we are agree about a lot of celeb heights.Rob- I don't think that Armand Assante wears lifts. When I've met him, always in summer time, (August, in Capri)he weared sandals and he was a good inch shorter than me. I am a solid 5'10"(178cm). I am sure that he is 5'9".P.S. 2 years ago, in August in Capri, Assante wasn't the only actor there, with him there was Jean Claude Van Damme(I think they are great friends)and I can assure you that they are about the same height or Van Damme looked 0.5 inch taller than him, but I remember that Van Damme weared Nike Shox(1.5 inch sole).

If he says that Sharon Stone is 5'7" or James Woods 5'10" or Eric Roberts 5'9", I'll never believe to him. Sharon Stone is 5'8.5, she is not a liar. She said that in a lot of tv programs. She was, fews weeks ago, guest star in a lot of Italian TV programs.I've seen her beside famous Italian Anchormans(I know their height) and she looks that height!(5'8.5).James Woods can't be under the 5'11.5. If he is only 5'10", Al Pacino is 5'4" and is impossible.I'm referring at the movie "Any given Sunday" (I have the DVD). Eric Roberts is about 5'10.5. I've seen a lot of movie of him. Look at the movie "Ulisse". In that movie Ulisse was the actor Armand Assante(5'9")(I saw him in person 2 times in Capri), he always was 1 inch shorter than me and I am 5'10". Eric Roberts in that movie was in sandals and looked 1.5 taller than 5'9" Assante.Come on guys you have to be more realistic!

Oh, and the shot of Stone next to Woods where he's about an inch and a half taller, remember that Sharon is wearing a wicked pair of black high heel pumps with at least four inch heels. In the shower she's barefoot. Sly's wearing her pumps! (just kidding)
