Crikey, Zach those are sum VERY revealing pics and a LOT more credible than the 'denzel' or even glenn pics above where he's undoubtedly wearing lifts.
Rob you have got to lower this guy to a more accurate height.
tgri, I think there comes an end to ur mission to get sly tall, he barely passes for 5'8, more likely 5'7.

I think those pics I posted prove beyond doubt Sly is 5'7-5'8, and that was 13 years ago too.
Love to hear your thoughts on them Rob. Sly's height for some mysterious reason seems to only go up on this website...

Editor Rob I think its hard to compare this scene. I've seen it...although may watch it again, but just can't say how foot position and adoptive posture (i.e. Stallone getting stuck into Stone) affects both their heights.
s***, imagine you in place of the Sly - the last thing on the mind is gonna be military posture...

You'd be surprised how many male stars have had expensive hair transplants. In the good old days they'd just slap a rug on them and be done with it. In the past many stars such as John Wayne could care less how they looked in public. Today it's all changed. And the methods they use today in transplant surgery is almost undetectable, even standing up close. Jack Nicholson has had one...or two....or three...he just seems to be getting more hair as he gets older! I knew Arnold had one when I saw him in person and could see up close that his hairline wasn't quite normal. It's hard to explain. With Travolta they actually did slap a wig on him. I watched The Punisher and he's wearing a full-frontal hairpiece. His hair had been thinning and I guess it finally got to the point where paint couldn't help. And yes, they do use paint!

Glenn, i was just joking when i said Stallone looked Huge in Death Race 2000 and towered a couple of inches over the 5'6 Henry Winkler. Have a look at the Herman Munster biker boots he was wearing in the Lords of Flatbush. sf, thanx for those pics, as it confirms what many of us in here have been saying all along. I am looking forward to tgri and nolifts reply on the latest pics and information.

The picture with Agassi reveals Sly's height! Agassi is 5'10 barefoot and 5'11 in shoes! With his 4/4.5 inch shoes, Sly becomes 5'11 or 5'11.5...also that shower scene with Sharon Stone who is at most 5'7.5 actually PROVES that sly is 5'7 max barefoot....not 5'8!!
Also that picture (Gettyimages) with Burt Young in the first Rocky, shows Sly to be shorter than the 5'8 Burt Young!! The guy is plain short and not even average!!.....I knew he was 5'7 barefoot...but there is now enough evidence to show him to be 5'7 barefoot! Sly and DeNiro are both 5'7 (in Copland)...also Frank2 has seen Sly without his lifts/shoes and says max 5'7....and the many others who work in the industry!!

If you people could be on a film set and watch how they routinely cheat a scene so actors appear taller or shorter you'd be amazed. Next time you're watching a movie, notice that in wide shots where two actors are standing and one is taller, when the close up's cut in, suddenly the two are closer to the same height. This is done mainly to keep the actors within the wide horizontal frame. They'd do this when love scenes were shots where the actor and actress are standing. In the past most actresses were much shorter than their leading men so they'd stick them on a box for the close up's. Today with so many female behemoths it's the other way around.

If I sould wear 4 inches lift, I would also be 5'11''. Theese pictures Zach posted when Sly and Sharon Stone are in the shower clearly show that Stallone is no more than 5'7'', max 5'8''. What so difficult to understand. He wears elevatorshoes!!!

Great pic's Zach!
I have been saying it all along that he is 5'8" and those picture prove my point again. Standing next to Sharon Stone in shower scene he does not look 5'10 or 6'1 barfooted but more like his real height 5'8". Yes he can look close to 6' b/c we all know he wears lifts to appear 5'11".
Now, if people still want to remain fooled like nolifts81 that is your choice.

It's an expensive transplant job. That and a lot of dye. Arnold also has one. On the other hand Travolta now wears a full-frontal hairpiece. So for that matter does Steven Seagal. In Seagal's early films you could easily see he was losing all his hair on top. And Sly is no more than 5'7" barefoot.

Rob - please dont stop these going up, I purposely took these so that no 'bits' are showing.
Ok guys explain these. When I first came onto this board a couple of years back I made a mention for this being part of the basis that Sly is no more than 5'8 but I think some of you actually need visual convincing. Sharon Stone is surprisingly 5'8 on this website but do a google search and you'll see almost all of the stats coming up at 5'7. But even if she is 5'8 Sly is SHORTER in the shower scene, no joke. I know some of you might find this as comfortable to swallow as Sly experiences wearing his monster elevators but take a look:

I have not 'handpicked' these shots, go watch the film yourself she's taller throughout the whole, erm, activity that they're participating in. If you watch the full scene you can clearly see both are barefeet.
As I mentioned in my previous post in the next scene where they're scrubbing up Sly appears to have half an inch:
Click Here
But you cant see their feet and I'd bet any amount Sly is on some sort of platform given that she was taller than him for a good few minutes in the preceding scenes.
Rob, I suppose this means Sharon Stone's height goes up, just like Frank Stallones and Sugar Ray's did right? ;) Cos of course, Sly's 5'9 height is unlowerable.
Sylvester Stallone is, as Hulk Hogan confirmed, maximum 5'8.

I've considered Sly being more than 5'8 having read all the comments. However I think we all agree that there is a huge question mark over Sly's footwear and the only true way of analysing his height is on the once in a bluemoon occasion he's barefeet.
Guys - go and watch specialist where he is barefeet with Stone (and concentrated on height nothing else ;). Sly is actually shorter than Stone. I've got some screenshots and I'll post them up soon but from whichever angle you look at it Sharon superfit Stone has got a cm or two on him. In the next scene where you cant see their feet surprise suprise Sly is slightly taller, I'd be willing to bet money that he's standing on some platform.
Anyway I'll get the pics up soon.

Glenn- Is not strange for him to appear 6'1": He is 5'10" barefeet + 3 inches shoes=6'1". In certain situation he appeared to be 6'2" with shoes on. But for to appear 6'1" or 6'2" he has to be for sure 5'10" barefeet.

Rob that pic you put up with him and his wife at the basketball I presume, proves the guy is a lift wearer. Not only can you see his ankle is high out of the shoe (very high out for that matter), but look at the distance between his ankle and his knee, it is particularily short, its so obvious the guy wears big shoes, I mean, hes famous for being short, so why are we bothering to carry on here. My good friend Clark is 199-200cm (like 6'6.5" tall, and the top of my head is just above his eye level close to his eyebrows, now if you consider the 6'6" hulk whoes dwarfing Stallone, he could no doubt, if he stood up, put his chin on stallones botox overdosed head. So if im 6'1", and theres say a 5.5 inch gap between the bottom of that guys chin to near his eyebrows, and that guy is probably half an inch shorter then my friend, Sly could be 5-6 inches shorter then me, and could be a good 10 inches shorter then the big guy, so it makes perfect sense that Sly is looking 5'8" or 5'9" max in the shot, and we still dont know what footwear he has on.

Glenn, next time you see Sly, tell him to take off his shoes and jump on your shoulder so that you can take a pic with him. Maybe ask him who is the great shoemaker who makes his lifts. If he comes at you take the fight to the ground as he is better on his feet because of some of the boxing training he has had. Put him in a triangle and choke him out, then take off his shoes and take pics of the lifts. I bet the national Enquier will pay big bucs for those ones, don't forget the wig. tgri, Sly is five eight barefoot, Vaj talk some sence into this boy.

stallones gotta be 5'9 i mean he has to wear the biggest lifts money can buy. He can be taller by an inch or 4 inches shorter then 6'1??? carl weathers. In the hogan vince mcmahon pic he "looks" taller then mcmahon whose at least 6 if not 6'1 to 6'2. If they went barefoot i gaurantee vince is taller. The pic where the 6'3 guy is with him, banderas, and arnold stallone looks 5'9 to 510 tops. but with his lifts well never know his true height

tgri,
The photo with Sly and Claudia is altered in my opionion and I am not comparing him to 6'4" Hogan or 5'11" Claudia just his wife who is around 5'8" or 5'9". When she wears her 3" heels (as shown in the pic's) she is taller than him even in his magic trainers. Now use your common sense. Sorry to disapoint you Sly is not tall.

lol glenn , you should have pushed him back . it would have been funny if he would fall out his lifts and you would be taller then him lol. all jokes aside ....that barefoot pic with him and clauida proves that he really is between 5'9 and 5'10 . ok , say hulk hogan is 6'4 in flats and a little under barefoot? sly's 5'9-5'10 plus 1.5 trainers plus 2-2.5 inch lifts inside them ....you get a 6'1-6'2 guy next to a nearly 6'4 guy. the only way he is 5'8 is if the pic with him and clauida is fake or if he was standing on a box next to hulk hogan? ill give him 5'9.5 untill i see a barefoot pic where he looks 5'8 . btw after glenn's story ....i can care less if i ever met him or not .

Put 5'8 Glenn in the same shoes Sly is wearing and they will be very very close in height. Sly will never ever leave home without some type of lift.Cmon guys, look at those trainers,just imagine what he is packing in his boots and other footwear. Once again Vaj, you have done a commendable job proving Sly can be 5'8. The Real Anonynous.

Compare Sly's trainers to his wife's 3" heel shoes in the first picture.In the second picture they are standing up and if she staightens her head she is taller than Sly.
If you think Sly is not wearing his ridiculous trainers in pictures with Agassi you are fooling yourself. What does Sly think on one game I wear my 3" trainers and the next game I won't. Why do you think he has the pair in so many differnt colors,wouldn't that defeat the purpose of wearing elevator shoes one day your tall next game short, espesially if he is going to the game with 5'11" Agassi.
I am certain Sly is 5'8" or 5'8.5", I know for a fact that Agassi is 5'11.5" in shoes I met him face to face and he was an 1" taller than me like I already said. Unlike Leung I do not wear elevator shoes and if I would of worn Sly's trainers I would have been taller than Agassi.
I think I will stick to the sources that know him best(his family) all claim he is 5'8" or 5'9".
Sly is exposed with his trainers(sole 1.5" hidden lift 1.5" =3" trainers)!

Only for to be Honest: Agassi is a solid 5'11". When Stallone wears very normal dress shoes he appear to be a real 5'10" man.(It means that with this shoes on he is 5'11"). He is not a short man!.

Last night I had a terrible dream! I dreamt that Sylvester Stallone called a Press Conference and had himself measured by Medical Doctors for his correct, accurate, pure and pristine barefoot height! Oh NOOOO!!! There goes my fun, my Celebheights, Glenn! Rob!....then I woke up......whew! Only a dream.....

True for the most part that lifts dont always add 4.5 inches.but in rare cases,yes.and in stallones case,he might be liftless here,since he can look a ridiculous 6ft sometimes.

Lots of people here are constantly stating lifts as the reasoning for someone being taller, but the reality is that in comparison to regular shoes they will only give an additional 2

Editor Rob yes, at one time I thought that might be possible, but looking at it as a whole I would be surprised if he was this height barefoot now...one thing Sly has managed is to consistantly appear like a 5ft 10 guy

In those agassi pictures, Stallone's obviously got his elevator trainers again and yet he still falls over an inch short than 5'11 Andre. 5'10-2inch elevators = 5'8. As shown by pics next to DeNiro and Burt Young.

Agassi is 5'10" barefooted and 5'11" with shoes.I know b/c I am 5'9" barefooted and 5'10 in shoes and he was an 1" taller than me when I met him.
That is why I am convinced Sly is 5'8" and with his 3" lifts expains him 5'11" and his short sightings without shoes.
Leung if his trainers still does not answer the questions about his height
than you can still remain fooled about his height.

Here's Stallone with Arnold, Bruce Willis and Demi: Click Here The shoes Sly is wearing are boosting him by about three inches. As you can see, Willis is clearly wearing flip-flops and isn't that much shorter than 6'2" Arnold. I've met Willis and he's exactly my height which is 5'11". Demi is really tiny in person. I'd say no more than 5'3". Sly is closest to the camera so if he were to be right next to Willis he'd still be shorter.

I also think it's hilarious how many pictures of Sly and his brother in the past show Sly to be noticeably shorter. However, nowadays many pictures show him the same height or taller. Did he miraculously grow or is he getting "lifted?"

Rob, thanks for the picture of Sly & Agassi.
I never met Sly,but I have met Agassi, I stand 5'9" barefooted 5'10.5" in shoes. I met Agassi at a resturant and he was 1" taller than me I know now for a fact Sly is 5-8 b/c in those trainer shoes with sole and lift 3" (5'8" + 3"=5'11").
Just look at the picture with his trainers on. Look how far up his ankle bone is from the floor. His trainers are higher than his wife's high heels.
To me Sly can not fool me b/c if I would of worn Sly's riduclous trainers when I met Agassi I would have been taller than him.

Frank2, we all know he wears the best custom elevator shoes that money can buy, but i think 5'7 would be all but impossible to pull off even for him. I am curious to know if you have some inside info that could prove your theory. How do you account for the height difference between 5'8 Glenn and Sly? No problem nolifts, i understand.

Frank2 - 5'7" for Stallone is out of any kind of imagination. The guy is in the 5'9.5/5'10" range. I am agree with Elio when he says that is impossible wearing shoes bigger than 4" without being pointed at and laughed at.I know this for my experience with lifts and elevator shoes. Is impossible to walk with shoes that put your feet up to 4.5/5 inches, because for having a real height increase of 4 inches you have to wear shoes that put your feet at almost 5 inches(4.75), because is necessary for create the right axis point.However, I think that Sly has used this kind of shoes but in very rare occasions , where he had not to walk a lot: ceremonies(Hogan Hall of fame),marriages(with Brigitte Nielsen) and in other very rare occasion. Sometimes he wears dress shoes: I've seen a lot of time his dress shoes(are very stilish) and I don't think there are rooms in them for accomodate lifts.When he wears this kind of normal dress shoes he appears to be a solid 5'11" with shoes on, without them he is very close to 5'10".

My opinion is that he is 5'9" and wears shoes ranging from 2" - 4" , which would explain why (in shoes) he seems to vary between 5'11" and 6'1".
The idea of the guy wearing shoes any bigger than 4" and being able to walk in them without being pointed at and laughed at is impossible in my mind.
As for Carl Weathers appearing about 4 inches taller than him, I suspect Carl is around the 6'1" mark and wore some decent shoes himself on that occasion (2"+), leaving a 5'11" - 6'0" (in shoes) Stallone appearing noticeably shorter than the 6'3" - 6'4" (in shoes) Carl Weathers. Just my guess.
Notice I always make sure I state 'in shoes' now, because the moment I forget people flame me, thinking that I mean barefoot.

Bridgit Nelsen recently said that he was 5.9 on a radio station.

5.9 is a good height (especially for an italo american born in the 40's !) and the man can look short for some people because he's massive...but he's 5.9 at least.
for me it's evidence...if he uses Lifts, they only give 2 inch (with shoes) so he can appear 5.11...

I Stood within a few feet of Stallone on the set of Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot back in early 1991. I am a solid 5'10 without shoes, and i was wearing dress shoes that day. My shoes had about a 1/2" to 3/4" heel. Stallone surprisingly was 1.5 inches or so taller than me wearing a "Timerland" type of work boot. That would put him at 6'0" maybe 6'0 1/2" in work boots. If Stallone wasnt wearing lifts on that movie set, then id say he is around 5'10 1/2 - 5'11 inches tall with no shoes on. Taller than I and most people would think,,,,Unless he was wearing lifts on that set,,,,,,,,If he was, then id say he is more like 5'9-5'9 1/2 without shoes on.

What are you talking about? Weak up!!! Jennifer Flavin (sly's wife) is 5'9". She is listed at 5'9" everywhere. She was a famous model and on internet and in all model's magazines of the 90'she was listed at 5'9". You are forcing your mind to think that Sylvester Stallone is less than 5'10". This guy is very close to 5'10".Is evident, what else do you want to see. Personally I think that Glenn is a fair man. He is one of them that have really seen Stallone in person. Why he should lie about Stallone's height? Very often you are agree with him when he posts comments about the height of other actors, but, when he posts comments about Stallone you are disagree. I'm starting to think that you have something against this Guy (SLY Stallone). P.S. Tgri you're right, don't be influenced by what other peoples here say. You think that Stallone is close to 5'10", why you are downgrading him at 5'9"+? My bet is always 5'9.75.(177cm).

Perhaps Carl Weathers stopped by at Stallone's house before the event, and stumbled into Stallone's shoe cupboard?
Carl: 'Holy crap... Sly , these are great, you've got to let me borrow a pair!!
Sly : 'Er... sure, but I'd prefer it if you picked one that's under 4"'
END RESULT : stallone 5'11", Weathers 6'4". :)

Okay, lets say that Sly's wife is 5'7 and she is wearing 3 inch heels., the pics that Vaj has posted have her abit taller than Sly. Why is this so. In one of the pics it looks like she is actually slouching so she does not appear taller than him.I t looks like Sly is not wearing his 4 inchers that day, but i bet he has a minimum of a 2.5 in lift in height with those dress shoes on. I don't think he would ever go to a premier in anything but a 2-3 inch enhancement of some kind. So you take his 5'7 wife and ad 3 inch heels, that takes her to 5'10 or just abit under. Why is he not 2 inches taller than her if he is 5'9? Glen, in the new pics with Carl Weathers, there is a pretty big difference in height there, and i don't think Sly is wearing his flats or sandals in that pic either.

Editor Rob no doubt Bruce can look 6ft -6ft 1, actually sometimes I see in pics he wears cowboy type footwear, maybe I'm short changing him...although Frank2 thought he is 5ft 11ish range.
speaking of Stallone - his impecabble posture might have been 'enhanced' by his time with bridget. You can see in many pics of him and bridget he looks like he's going to snap his back trying to force himself as tall as possible

I really want to give an opinion on Sly's height but I just can't figure it out. One thing I will say though is it is very possible to stretch yourself out and stand up straight to APPEAR taller. Some people just look taller than they are. For example, I'm 5'10", but most people who meet me think I'm about 6'1". When I remember to stand up straight I appear taller, so I think it has to do with that. I think this info will also help you guys out when I'm famous, no fighting :>)

Listen nolifts81,
Some of the woman claim to be 5'10" or 5'11" usually are counting their high heels like Anna Nickole Smith. She claims to be 5'11" but as we can all see in her mug shot she only stands 5'7". Just look at Sly's wife, she does not seem short maybe 5'6-5'7 but when she wears her high heels she is taller than Sly and in every picture he is stretching a pose to try to keep up her height.
It is so funny how insecure Sly is about his height!

vaj- I've said that in certain occasion he looked 6'1" or 6'2" not always. Situation like: Hogan induction in the Hall of Fame; open of Planet Hollywood when he was with Angie everhart; marriage with Brigitte Nielsen. Sometimes he wears normal dress shoes with 1 inch heel that put him at 5'11", like in the pic with Glenn.

You can count me in there as well Vaj. Maybe 5'8 could be just under 5'9, it is amazing how he can appear to make himself 6'.If Glen were to where sly's shoes he could possibly hit that mark as well. The Real Anonynous

Hey if Glenn wore 4in cowboy heels, he would be taller than stallone. The ones that dog the bounty hunter wears. If he can afford them custom made, then Stallone definately can, and by the best shoemaker

claudia shiffer pic doesn't change anything imo. Theres a difference b/t a publicity pic and a candid pic; publicity pics are STAGED whereas candid pics are not. Hes 5'11 in candid pics, never looked taller. he's 5'11 w/ shoes posing w/ denzel as well. He's 5'8 maybe 5'8.5 w/ outstanding posture

A lot of people here haven't seen pics where Stallone with his shoes on stands at almost 6'2". On the net there are pics of Sly with Angie Everhart(5'10"-178cm) with 4/5 inches shoes on(that makes her about 6'2") where Stallone was her same height. There are pics with Hogan etc etc. I know better than most of people here,with an exeption for Ziggy, lifts and elevator shoes, and I can assure you that there is no way with lifts or elevator shoes to appear taller than 4 inches. Maybe that the top of the lift inside could stand at 4.5(like said Pasquale Di Fabrizio) or even 5 but the effective height increase is almost 4 inches. So saying that Stallone is 5'7" or 5'8" is ridicoulus. This guy is for sure around the 5'10".

Ok you guys misunderstood what I meant by " brain surgeons", its a saying used in Australia which is a subtle way of calling someone an idiot , or hinting at their lack of intelligence by using sarcasm. I wasn't enquiring about whether he had surgery on his legs, Im sure he is still the same short person hes always been, with a better shoe maker.

assuming glenn is 5'9 w/ shoes in this pic, STallone is about 5'11 w/shoes. 1.5in sole + at least 1in in liifts = 5'8.5 in real life. I mean have you guys seen his early films? He didn't have lifts in Rocky 1 he had platform heels!

well that *barefoot* pic with 5'11.25 claudia schiffer proves that sly is indeed a 5'9+ guy .... even do to the fact that he has bad posture and his nees are slightly bent.
Click Here
if sly stands up right , then he has got to be in the 5'10 range. the only way on this earth that sly is 5'8 max , is if if that pic is fake (which i do doubt) and if he stands on a ice box next to hulk hogan. after all that ive posted , if anyone sees that 5'10 is not right on ..you need bifocillos.

Next case in point is how tall is kurt russel.never met him.he looked 2 inches bigger than mel gibson in a photo I saw,which would put gibson at 5-7! My friends agree kurt looks 5-8,5-9.instead of the 5-10 he is listed at.in ESCAPE FROM L.A. a character mentions how short kurts character SNAKE is.stallone is an enigma.

Glenn,
I agree I think he is 5-10 or 5-11, but with lifts. Did he look 6'1"-6'2" next to Kurt Russell(5-9)in Tango & Cash when he wore 3"-4" heels? I do not think so.
Why do people who know him best like Hogan, ex-wife Bridgette Nelson, Sly sister and brother all claim he is between 5-8 and 5-9.
I know why b/c they have seen Sly barefooted, I am sorry to tell everyone without his lifts Sly is not tall.

Glenn, you have got to tell us about the roid raging. He always seeems to come off so well in his interviews, that it would be hard to imagine him having roid rage. It is interesting to see how his body changes from movie to movie In the latest Rocky he is looking much bigger than he ever has, and i don't think it is frome his Stone vitamin regimen.I don't know any other celebrity that seems to have gotten taller with age. Maybe there is something to the leg extension operation, i tell you if the tabloids ever got concrete information about this, it would be interesting to see how he could weather a storm like that. Tell us some stories regarding Sly, and thanx again Glenn. The Real Anonynous.

This absolut bulls***: Height increase surgery even with GUICHET is highly risky,painful and takes a year to recover(even after a year one is not 100 %) and the outcome is still uncertain. SLY would never jeopardize his health,career for a lousy 2.3 inches. Please stop this argument. SLY IS 5'9.5".Average guy with lifts can look tall . And he does.

ok something is not right . hogan was well over 6'5 at his peak and now looks as low as 6'3 today . just take one look at how small sly was with hogan in rocky 3 .... and do to the fact that hogan has lost height and the fact that sly's trainers are only giving him about 1.5 inches they still should not have such a little bit of height between sly and hogan . theres only 2 things i can think of .... hogan has lost about 6 inches of height? or , sly is atleast the 5'10 that hes claming? by the way , the pics that ive been posting proves that he can look min 6'0 in lifts .. now sly really does look an easy 5'10 next to 5'7 3/4 glenn . this does sound funny . but, really i think glenn saw sly short (out lifts) cuz the top of glenn's head goes slighly over sly's eyes . if sly had lifts on glenn's head would only go up to about sly's lips . people , what iam trying to say is that people think sly is 5'7-5'8 barefoot and 5'10-5'11 in lifts . no , what i see is a guy that * can * be an easy 5'10 and look an easy 6'0+ atleast in lifts. if you ask me i think the glenn and sly pic is about right .... but, on the other hand something really is not right with sly in hogan 's height today. maybe theres 2 hogan's and one is only 5'10 lol.

Indeed Brett. My point is that for him to get so tall with lifts... it rules out him being 5'7.5" or lower. Also this is if he's wearing 4.5" mega shoes... rather than say... 3" shoes (which would also be VERY big and tricky to walk in).

It is possible for him to appear 6ft, you take his 5'8" odd frame ( maybe more maybe less), and add 4.5 inches, which that specialist shoe maker claims to have helped him achieve through the use of lifts, and voila, you get 6'0.5". Glenn , Id just ignore the brain surgeons on this site, what ever they say just gets ignored anyhow mate.

I'd say Stallone is standing around the 6'1" mark in those shoes with Hogan. Which would give him the impression of being a 5'11" - 6'0" guy.
Of course, we all know the guy wears big shoes... but the real question is 'how big?'
Could he really get a pair of walkable shoes that add 6" (half a foot!) to a 5'7" frame?
Personally I can't see him getting away with wearing shoes any larger than 4.5" . So I find it very hard to believe he is shorter than 5'8".

Editor Rob I think he's got his black elevator trainers on with Hulk, but I don't think they could add more than 1.5 inches...
Hogan could be struggling with his current height now, although he still looks for the most part near it

She said to me a lot of times that Sly Stallone in the early 90, in France,had a leg extension operation by Dr Guichet.I've not believed her but she said that to me a lot of times.A friend of my aunt had a leg extension in France at that time by Dr Guichet and he said to her that this doctor did the same operation to Sylvester Stallone. I don't believe her but all is possible.

Vaj,
That is a great pic you showed us. And FYI for everybody on this site, I have seen the full length version of that Sly, Arnie, Bruce, and Demi picture. In that picture, Stallone is wearing his regular shoes (which probably have a small lift) and Bruce is wearing flip flop sandals. I'll show you guys the picture if I find it.

We all know that Stallone wears Huge lifts (than makes him 4 inches taller),but when he wears them he can look 6'1" to 6'2" with shoes on. So I think is evident that without his special shoes he is about 5'10". I know that 5'10" for normal people is a good height,but,for an action hero like Stallone is not a good height.This is the reason because Sly wears huge lifts.

Scroll down the pictures and you will find where Sly is looking 5'8" or 5'9" next to Bruce Wills 5'11", Arnold 6" Demi Moore 5'4.5".
Like I have said many times, look at the movie (Cop Land) where Sly is clearly in sandles looking 5'8 or 5'9" next to Ray Liotta 5'11".

Like I have said many times, look at the movie (Cop Land) where Sly is clearly in sandles looking 5'8 or 5'9" next to Ray Liotta 5'11".

I think Carl Weather's is around the 6'1" mark. Stallone looks to be an inch or so shorter than him in one of the pics tgri posted. It's another Denzel moment. Where, with the help of some hefty shoes, a man of average height (5'8"-5'10") appears to stand around the 6 foot mark. Or Perhaps Sly has taken a year off work at some point and got a 2 inch leg extension operation? Regular people are having this done these days, so why not a movie star who seems to have tried everything else to appear taller?
This idea of Sly standing around the 6 foot mark (IN SHOES) is also supported with him standing only around 4" shorter than the 6'3"-6'4" Hulk Hogan in Editor Rob's posted pic.
Funny, isn't it? If Stallone had worn his v.large elevators for more of his career and there hadn't been so many sightings of him appearing shorter and barefoot, we'd be arguing whether or not he was 6 feet tall. Instead we're arguing whether or not he's 5'7".

tgri, it looks like Sly could be standing on some type of platform or stage. How the hell does a 5'8-5'10 guy look taller than a shrunken 6'4 Hogan? The Real Anonynous.

Editor Rob well, he's not really taller, the angle is beneficial...but this pic showed there wasn't that much between them. Hogan sometimes wears cowboy boots at events, that day with stallone he didn't
Other Angle. Imagine the image on the right was actually the true difference back in the day, I'd be wondering how many discs they yanked out of hulks back ;-)

You can't say Glenn looks 5' 6" if you have no clue how tall Stallone is due to his unknown lifts/elevator shoes height, hence most of us guessing. So leave Glenn alone and stop talking crap. BTW, your height at night isn't your real height, it's a shorter and compressed version. Your height when your back is straight is your true height i.e.) Morning. I might as well arch my back and call that my real height using some people's ideas.

elio, take a look at Sly's in ring footwear from a few of the pics they have released from the latest Rocky. He is wearing lifts in those boots. They are not your everyday type boxing boot. That may account for him being 3 inches taller than the 5'7-5'8 Burt Young. Parker, thanx for that pic of Sly in Victory, but i don't see his feet in that pic. When i can't see Sly's feet in a pic, i am very skeptical judging how tall he is compared to somebody else. Glen, i call it as i see it. In the pic you are standing with Stallone you seem abit heavy set, and your hair looks like it has receded, thus making you appear 5'6 in that shot. The lighting is not great in that pic and maybe that is why you appear this way to me. I won't kiss your ass or anybody elses in hear. If you want to post pics on the internet,then you should be able to understand that people are going to notice things about you or the celebreties you have pics with. In a strange way i guess you have become a celebrity as well.

Burt is 5'6 and Sly is barely an inch taller.

i think 5'9-5'10 is a pretty fair barefoot height for sly. that really what he looks next to 5'8ish burt young and 5'4ish talia shrine. rob , i say just give him 5'9.5 and call it quits . just for now.

I don't see the problem.
To me, Sly looks about 2 1/2 inches taller than Burt in those pics (taking into account sly tilting slightly and Burt's hat in the first pic , and the low camera angle of the second pic).
So 5'9" - 5'10" seems plausible judging from those pics. Obviously, in public his footwear has proved generous enough to bump him up a couple more inches.

Glen, if someone suggests you look 5'6, it means to them that you look 5'6. If someone suggests you look 5'2, then by all means call them a jerkoff. There are quite a few pics where you do look 5'6. I have nothing to gain in here by pissing you off, when i say you can look 5'6. I do think it is awesome that you post the pics you do and meet the celebreties that you do.

Glenn - There is no doubt in my mind that Stallone is 5'10. I base that on the Film Escape To Victory, where he appeared with Mike Summerbee who also was a legit 5'10 - There is no difference in their heights in the promotional pics.

Anonymous- You're right, in the movie "Oscar" he weared lifts in his shoes is evident. I recognize when a shoe has lifts inside. In those shoes he had about 2 inches inside. But in the movie "Capone" the shoes are very normal:there is no room for accomodate lifts.For what I know, Sly started to use lifts or elevator shoes after the movie Rocky. "Capone" was filming in 1974-1975. I am agree with Glenn and TGRI Stallone with his lifts or elevator shoes can look tall.He reached the 6'2" with his shoes on at the Hall OF Fame induction for Hogan.

nolifts81, you were sayig that Sly was not wearing elevators in the movie Capone because it was set in the 30's and he appeared to be shorter than the "5'10" Ben Gazzara. What about the movie Oscar, that was set in the 30's as well. Did you see Sly's footwear in that movie. Thanx for the interesting pic Zack. I thought i would never see what Sly looks like without the lifts and camera angles.

There's a scene in Rocky 1 just before he is punching the meet at the factory and being filmed. The scene: He is standing with his Converse shoes and is talking to Paulie which isn't that tall, maybe 5'7 or something and if I can recall Sly looks even shorter than Paulie in that scene!

Two Inches Shorter than Ben Gazzara in the movie "Capone"? Frank2- you are dreaming wake up!!! At that time Ben Gazzara was a good 5'10"(178cm):I know well italian actor Ben Gazzara, he is one of my favourite actors. In that movie Stallone appeared only 0.5 inch shorter than him, they are almost the same height.

Stallone is no more tha five-eight. He goes to bed wearing lifts. He was working at Universal in the next room to mine when he did the film Nighthawks. We spoke a couple of times and I noticed he was my height with his cowboy boots on. One day he had them off and I was shocked to see how short he was. Back then I had always thought of him as being at least my height. Take a look at him in the film Capone and you'll clearly see he's at least two inches shorter than Ben Gazzara.

Take it easy Glen,i'm just telling you how i see it bro. You really do look 5'6 especially in your recent pics. There are some pics of you taken in the late eighties and early ninties where your hair was not thinning and you were not so husky, that i might give you 5'7-5'7.5 The extra weight and less coverage on the head appears to make you shorter.

Look At that pic with Claudia Schiffer. Claudia is for sure 182cm (5'11.75) and Sly looks clearly 2 inches shorter. Is evident Sly is 177cm(5'9.75). P.S. I have a book with all the measures of the 80'-90' top models and Claudia Schiffer is listed at 182cm and 128lbs.

Glenn,
the only person that is ignorant is you thinking he is 5'11".Compared to 5'11" Ray Liotta in Cop Land. He clearly looks 5'8" or 5'9" max in sandles, in the picture with you and Sly, all you have to do is add 2" lifts to be the same height.
Know, quit being naive in thinking Sly is not wearing his lifts in the picture.

Some of u need to watch that shower scene with sly and stone again. when you could clearly see both their feet Sharon Stone actually looked taller.
yes in the next scene where you could only see their faces Sly appeared an inch taller, but there's no knowing whether Sly was standing on a platform of sum sort. But like I said where you can see their feet you can see how short sly is.
Go watch it. Sly is 5'8 max.

Glenn may well be 5'8, its just a case of Sly having a 2inch+ advantage over him because of footwear. Come on guys wake up, you can get a 2-3" lifts over the net for barely

Glenn,
Okay you may be 5'8" barefooted( I think 5'7.5") and 5'9" with shoes, but if you said 5'10", must be either with boots or lifts. You claim him to look 5'11" but when standing next to 5'11" Ray Liotta in (Cop Land) he looked more like 5'8" or 5'9". When he wants to appear taller he wears his lifts.
His shoes may look normal knowing about his insecurities about his height I am sure he still wears lifts. Have you seen the pictures when he and his wife are at court side Lakers game. I hope you do not think they look like normal shoes. His shoes look to oversized and chuncky compared to the man sitting next to him with regular shoes.Including heel it looks to boost him up 3" to make him appear 5'11".
Glenn,tgri,nolifts,
I can not understand why you all do not get that Sly is not a tall man and that he uses lifts to make himself to appear 5'10" or 5'11". That is not TOP SECRET!

Glen, most of us in here do have lives, and this is just a place to escape and have some fun. No hard feelings bro, but you do look 5'6 and Sly is prolly 5'8 max.

It look more like 2 inch boots Chris. ;-)
To me he looks in Rocky 5 ft 9-10. His peak height was probably 5 ft 9.5, a height what he looked next to a barefoot (and naked) Sharon Stone in The Specialist (1994). Do the people who think that Sly is really 5-7 also think that Stone is 5 ft 5.5?

In Rocky he wore thoose big 4 inches boots. The height-diffirence is so clear. When he had the boots on, he looked like 5'10-5'11'', but it is hard to tell with cameraangels etc, but when he was out running or trained in the factory he looked like 5'8''.

I agree with him being conscioyus of his height, i;de even agree with him boosting it usin elevator shoes and lift(even at the same time!)but i wont agree with him beein less than 5'9 at the very least.
Prood: the scene from the woody allen movie where sly is in the subway,(just as an extra ofcourse)he was like a gangmember, but he wasconsidered big nexct to the fellow gangmember who was short,i'de say he is a definite 5'9.5 and has shtunk an inch increasing his efforts to look tall at any price.

tgri, Sly will never ever agree to taking a pic with Glen in barefeet. He might do it with the 5' Danny Devito, but he would never do it with a 5'6 Glen. Sly is one of my all time favorite actors, and just because he is prolly 5'8 is not going to change that. It is amazing he is able to do what he has done in movies, he sort of has his own Rocky story.

I have seen a picture of him next to 6' John Trovalta when he was directing him in Staying Alive and Sly had 2" boots on and John 1" heel boots and Sly was clearly 3" shorter.

the next time glenn sees sly he needs to ask him to take a pic with him in barefeet. if sly says yes and the pic comes back and sly is still 2-3 inches taller then glenn , then i would say give him 5'10 . know on the other hand .... if sly says no or looks at glenn like a fool.... THEN U KNOW SOMTHING IS UP . the thing i don't get is that sly only clamed 5'10 , but sometimes looks 6'0.

I'm sure Glenn has mentioned somewhere on this website that at times he can be 5'7.5. Either way, like I said I dont think anyone can blame him for not noticing Sly's elevators with the way they are disguised.
Rob - if you get a chance to see Tango and Cash, watch carefully the first scene when Sly shoots at the truck and the two guys come flying out. Pause it. And just have a look at the size of those heels, they go so high you cant even see where they end. And yet he's still the same height as Kurt Russel throughout the film.
Also with regards to the shower pic, there were a lot of reports at the time of Sly having a body double (you cant see his face and the guy distinctly lacks Sly's muscularity). Even if it is genuinely Sly it proves beyond doubt that there is no way he is taller than Kurt, who's own height is debatable, in the 5'8-9 range.

nolifts81,
Yes you are right, Sly is 1" taller than Kurt like I said he had at least 3" heels on his shoes. So, if Kurt wore 2" cowboy boots Sly wore 3" heels on his shoes to appear taller than Kurt.By the way Kurt is 5'9" with shoes.
Sly does not wear normal shoes,
in his early films as well as Tango & Cash he wore 3" heels shoes.Now he wears shoes that appear to be normal to look 5'10" with lifts hidden inside so his shoes will not look so obvious.
Think about it, if you met someone who is a legit 5'10" you would not consider him short.So why are so many people so surprised by Sly's height when they see him in person.

dream on to think sly is legit 5'10". Why don't you use your common sense, watch the movie (Tango & Cash). Sly wore 3" heels shoes and if he was 5'10" barefoot that would had made him 6'1" and he did not look that much taller than 5'9" Kurt Russell. So think about it, yes he is 5'10" with lifts on.

The reason that the studio cast Sly as the lead to play Rocky was that Sly used the script (he wrote and owned the copyright) as the bargain to play the lead role. The studio desired the script, but wanted a major star like Robert Redford or Burt Reynolds to play the lead. Sly turned down half a million dollars for his script, stood his ground, and finally the studio relinguished and agreed to cast Sly for the movie lead. That's how Sly got his breakthrough playing heroic characters. Like what "The Graduate" did to Dustin Hoffman (only 5'5.5" tall), the huge success of "Rocky" made Sly a super star, and he was able to play the subsequent heroic characters that he created (Sly also created Rambo characters and co-wrote the scripts). That's how short actors like Sly got his break -- Sly and Hoffman's stories have been well known in the Hollywood community.

Stallone's real height is definately shorter than 5'9" as Kurt Russell's height listed here. They both star in the movie "Tango and Cash," and Kurt Russell is taller than Sly throughout the film. If Kurt Russell is really only 5'9", then real Sly is no way taller than 5'8".

Yesterday In Italy was the TV prime of the movie "D-TOX". In the first 15 minutes of the movies, Stallone wears very normal dress shoes and he appeared to be close to 5'10". During the scenes in the "detox center", where he wears boots, Sly appeares to be at least 5'11".It's obvious: had lifts in those boots.My conclusion is that maybe Sly is not a solid 5'10" but he is close to 5'10" (177cm).I'm sure that Sly doesn't use lifts in dress shoes. I've seen very well his dress shoes(he weares them in very rare occasions) and there's no room for accomodate lifts. I am very expert about elevator shoes or lifts because I use them from about 7 years.

Editor Rob he's not afraid to run about in big heels - check escape to victory to see in the first 30 minutes there's a few shots of him jumping about with 2-inch heels on...there's also some shots inside the cabin on flatter ground beside Michael Caine...
I don't think 5ft 9.5 is unrealistic...beside Schaeffer and Stone, both barefoot, this can be possible.
Stallone's height is probably one of the widest 'estimated', people saying 5ft 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11!!!

Elevator man,
provided I haven't scared you off for good, I just want you to know that it was nothing personal. It's just that I think there's a hell of a lot of people who would/do make 'downgrade stories' up.

The nature of my reply was perhaps more of a test to see how you'd react, just in case your response might give more away. Your laid back reply means either you were telling the truth, but you're just a laid back guy and are too sensible to get caught in an argument so trivial, or that you were making it up and are withdrawing gracefully. Personally, I'm inclined to believe it was the former.
Either way, hope there's no hard feelings, as these days I seem to be unwittingly offending people a lot on here and want to break out of the pattern. :)
Elevator man,
provided I haven't scared you off for good, I just want you to know that it was nothing personal. It's just that I think there's a hell of a lot of people who would/do make 'downgrade stories' up.

props to tgri and 6' & 18 and nc. Everyone else, it's time to accept that Stallone is a legit 5'10". If Sly was only 5'7" then the Rambo and Rocky movies would have never seen the day of light.

I agree with Anonymous. Glenn seems in the 5'7" range to me. If you want further evidence, check out George Clooney's website. Glenn makes Clooney look almost like a six footer, which he is clearly not.

nc, no way is he 5'9.5. He is struggleing to make 5'9 barefoot. Alot of us in here have him pegged at 5'8. Glen, on review of all the pics you have been kind enough to offer to this site, Rob should lower your height to 5'6. There is just way to much evidence in those pics that prove this. Shania Twain, Dustin Hoffman, Woody Allen are a few of the pics that make me think you are sub 5'8.You really do look 5'6.

Editor Rob I've never heard of him claiming anything except 5ft 10.
you can still go back to Richard Avedon's photo of him and claudia schaeffer for showing he wasn't under 5ft 9...unless anybody actually believes that a renowned figure like Avedon would have photographed them separately and spliced them together...you could recreate Stallone's stance and Schaeffer's stance and come to a good conclusion

Also it's interesting...whenever judging an actor's height when looking at a photo of him next to another actor or celeb (the majority of sightings are only this), people always assume that the other celeb is wearing normal shoes and the actor is wearing huge lifts. The short sightings are with the other celeb wearing big lifts (or another of the many factors only/as well) and vice versa for surprisingly tall sightings? Think.

Look at the pic with Glenn. 5' 10" is a very fair height for stallone, as I said. Glenn noticed nothing weird about his shoes, so to not give him 5' 10" is ridiculous. Yes, people generally have a feeling of a 5' 7" - 5'8" for Stallone, but that's not when looking at such a clear-cut picture as above with someone who judged his shoes as well...come on now guys! 5' 10" all the way.

Well I realize it was my first post and everything, but it does actually happen to be true. I would wildly rush to my own defense and everything, but I don't really remember why I ended up here to begin with. It's not like I'm trying to elect myself Pope, I'm just telling you what happened: In 1991 I was on the elevator in the then nearly bankrupt Carolco Pictures on much more boring business than making movies. Stallone walks on with some other guy. We give the "hey, you're Stallone" nod, and he gives the "hey, I'm Stallone" nod, and then he gets off the elevator a few floors down. Very much like I'm getting off this one, thanks to the friendly reception I recieved.

Okay folks, here's my contribution. I have actually stood in an elevator next to Sylvester Stallone at Carolco Pictures. I didn't notice shoes, as in lifts or no lifts, but this wasn't a press day or anything, he was just there to work. What I did notice is that there is *no way,* as in *zero way* he is over 5'8". In that picture in the link, if Denzel is really six feet tall then Stallone is standing on something (his assistant?), or wearing the largest cowboy boot lifts ever. Sorry if that changes anything for anybody (it shouldn't, he's still the nicest guy ever) but there is no way that shoes + legs + torso + head in that particular elevator on that particular day added up to more than 5'8"

Yeah he's heights probably about right now. He probably is 5,11 maybe even 6,0 in lifts who knows what he's preferred height is but i have no problem beliving he's 5,9 though at max. 5,10 is just to much to belive.

They seem very high at the top of the foot area .Why do those boots look so high? You know and we all know that he has a minimum 3 inches hidden in there. Those were big ass boots. 5'8 max

I still can not beleive so many people are fooled by Sly's height.He is obviously taller than Glenn, but we all know he wears lifts and not just 1" at least 2". I am positive he never leaves the house without his lifts.I am sorry to tell everyone that I am not fooled, he is 5'8" or 5'9" barefooted max.If he is 5'11" why is he shorter than Ray Liatta who is 5'11" and John Travolta 6'.His height is closer to De Niro 5'9" or Jack Nickson 5'9, Wesly Snipes 5'9"or Kurt Russel.He may appear 1" taller but keep in mind he does not go anywhere without his lifts.So people stop being fooled by Sly's fake height!

From that picture I can easily see 5'10" - Easily taller than glenn. If he was only 5'9" like you've posted there is probably no way you'd be able to tell a height difference from the pic. Assuming shoes don't give him any sort of advantage.

Editor Rob the thing with Stallone...he stands in most photos at what looks like 'measurable height'. Elevator shoes, to a certain extent, can force or maximise a posture. Sly, like Cruise, is rarely caught short in photos with a Giammati or Billy Bob Thornton type posture. There's no doubting Sly can sometimes look 5ft 11 tall...
sf said on 20/Feb/06
Long lets don't mean anything. Some people have shorter torsos, or longer torsos. Vice Verca - some people have longer legs or shorter legs. You can have shorter legs than someone else and still be as tall as they are. Or, if you have longer legs and a relatively taller torso, you can be taller. We're not all built proportionately the same.

Glenn,
I have an idea, why don't you buy a pair of 2" lifts and next time you run into Sly take a picture and you will see you will be the same height, or tell him about the debate about his height on this forum and if he could take a picture with you, both without shoes on to end all rumors of his height.
He is so vain I know he would not do it because he does not want everyone to know that he is only 5'8".
I the picture of you and Sly if he removed his lifts he would be the same height as you Glenn, but we all know he does not go anywhere without them!

Wait a second, if that Italian shoemaker that claims that he made Stallone 4 - 5 inches taller, then by the laws of subtraction , Stallone at 5'10 - 5'11 is actually only 5'6 - 5'7 without those shoes.

Glen all you need to do is put on a pair of Sly's "shoes", alter your pants and you will have long legs as compared to torso like Sly has. Glen, if you were to wear a pair of handcrafted 31/2 inch elevator shoes from the very best shoemaker in California, how tall would you be?

Others just continue 2 be fooled by Sly's footwear.

stallone has no reason to lie about he's hieght but they stll do like in real life and this is a classic case IMO. In he's comment he's says he's 5,10 and 177 pounds im happy now it's almost like he's trying to self belive he's 5,10 when he's probably struggling with 5.9. With lifts he's 5,11 he's prefered height without is 5,9. Floors also change perspectives allowing certain people to appear taller than others even the same height or taller like by 3 inchesor something.

I agree that Sly looked shorter than ussual in Cop Land, but there no way that he is shorter than 5 ft 9. De Niro was in 1997 still at his peak wich was 5 ft 9, Liotta is 5 ft 11, and Keitel was 5 ft 7.5 to 5 ft 8 in the 90s.
People who think that Sly is 5 ft 7, should remove 2 inches of the actors that I have mentioned here above, and let be honest? Does Keitel look 5 ft 5.5 or does Liotta look 5 ft 9?

Zach if you see more accurately that famous picture of Sly and De Niro in Copland you will see that De Niro is on a taller street zone. Personally I've seen De Niro in Milan some years ago and I was very close to him: he was about 1 inch shorter than me. I am 5'10" so I think he is 5'9".On Internet there are fews pics of Stallone besides De Niro(Cannes film festival 1997) but If you look at those you'll see that Stallone is always 1 inch taller than him.At Cannes Film Festival 1997 Sly was clearly 1 inch taller than De Niro wearing very normal dress shoes with no room for accomodate lifts. I think Sly is really 5'10".
