How tall is Sylvester Stallone - Page 6

berta said on 25/Feb/18
i believe 176 peak and 174 now.

Andrea said on 24/Feb/18
Rob, any idea about Vincent Spano? Do you think he's worth a page?
I remember him from an italian tv series he did many years ago and, from what I remember, I thought that maybe he was over 6' but certainly no more than 6'1 (and I'm sure he used to get listed at a very optimistic 6'2 back then)...

And it’s amazing some posters on here can still think an apparent 5'7" guy can pull off looking a strong 5'11" in lifts. Give it up already! You think he hid 4 inch lifts inside passably-normal-looking footwear!? Sly was never 5'7" in his prime, or even today for that matter. If you still think so, provide a convincing explanation as to how on earth he pulled off looking at least 4 inches taller on a number of occasions in his heyday.

M58 said on 24/Feb/18
I don’t see how Sly can be anything below 5'8" today, as he can still pull off looking over it in normal footwear. As for his peak, anywhere from 5'8.5"-5'9" is possible imo, in fact i’d say Rob’s listings are as close to reality as one can get, but I can understand the 5'9.25" estimates too (as far as peak). Sly hasn’t lost much height for his age, half inch or so is pretty good for a 70+ guy. Sly is living proof that being in good shape is certain to pay off in later life!

He was likely 177 cm range out of bed in his prime, which arguably makes his 5'10" claim from 1991 pretty reasonable. He should stop wearing lifts as everyone knows he’s not as tall as he tries to make himself appear though! But then again, he doesn’t really give me the impression of being overly insecure about his height, or having any sort of obvious napoleon complex, given he’s made jokes about his height in the past...so maybe he just enjoys fooling people who maybe aren’t aware of his real height!?

He could had been 5'10 when he was younger

Not a chance. He was about 5'8.5" in his younger years (taller out of bed). Today he's 5'7.25" (taller out of bed).

Michael said on 20/Feb/18
173 to 174 sounds about right for this man.

PhysicsEnemy said on 15/Feb/18
Reminder - Deducting the 2mm stadiometer error put Glenn on exactly 5' 6.5", and 5' 7" for out-of-bed. He was not 'over' these figures, simply on them.

Bradly said on 14/Feb/18
Extendo legs, nope....just another G fibbah wanting to be tall by association, a 5' 8" supastar. Sal, mustad, mayo.

Too high Brad, Sly is a weak 5'8" 2017.

Bradly said on 1/Feb/18
Where'd Sly get that Shaft 1973 coat? Pure Harlem style. He has to be rockin' in those Kojak '75 boots.

Bradly said on 31/Jan/18
5' 8 1/4" is pretty much about what he is. He'd say 1.5" (at least) taller. The G would agree with Sly.

Rising - 174 cm said on 31/Jan/18
Telly was 5'10"-5'11" range and wore boots with at least 2" heels and was rumored to have lifts inside to make him look his billed height of 6'1" so a young Sly at 5'8.5"-5'9" should have looked considerably shorter and there was never a shot in that episode which showed us the exact difference. Sly didn't look 5'7"-5'8" with Dolph either. According to Dolph, he stood on a box to tower Sly even more than he already did, but Sly always measured up much better to Dolph than Dolph's co-star in Dark Angel/I Come in Peace Brian Benben, who was 5'6" and over a head shorter than Dolph. Sly came up more around Dolph's nose.

Jug said on 31/Jan/18
Closer to 5'7 for a peak. Was considerably shorter than Telly Savalas on an episode of Kojak. Looked 5'7, possibly 5'8, next to 6'4/6'5 Dolph Lundgren.

M58 said on 28/Jan/18
Five-nine peak easy. No arguments against Rob’s listings.

Rising - 174 cm said on 25/Jan/18
I watched Oscar recently and Sly is noticeably taller(at least a couple inches) than 5'7"-5'8" range guys like Peter Riegert and Tim Curry, but he looks to me like he's near 5" shorter than Chazz Palminteri as he seems to not reach much higher than Palminteri's eyes. He's the same height in the film as an 80+ year old Don Ameche and however tall Vincent Spano is, Sly winds up looking about 2" shorter. Don't know about his shoes, they look like they could have lifts, but he is actually seen wearing slippers earlier in the film, though I'm not sure there's a wide shot you can accurately see his height in them. Still a strong 5'8" based on how he looked with Carl Weathers at the Golden Globes a year ago as Carl only looked about 4" taller to me and Carl is no less than 6'0.5" even today.

And MJKoP, I don't know why you inferred that I believed Spacey personally divulged his sexual proclivities to Glenn. I didn't know whether it was accurate or not at the time(I long figured Spacey was gay and really couldn't care less about that with voluntary adults) but had figured Glenn either heard it from a bodyguard, security etc. or someone else in his own profession he knew who saw Spacey regularly with those "young surfer types."

As for Glenn with Sly's height, in fairness, he was relatively consistent in believing Sly was somewhere in the 5'10" range(until Sly's inexplicable growth spurt to 5'11" in his 70's, which even Sly is unaware of) and I do think he honestly believed it as if he were just trying to pass himself off as taller, he could have easily just said Sly was wearing lifts in the photos and who would have doubted him? Same thing with estimating Bruce Willis at a 6'1" height virtually nobody believed despite having no picture with Bruce. However, I do think it's probable Glenn subconsciously or semi-consciously convinced himself some celebs were taller in an effort to allay his own doubts about his height even prior to the measurement. I don't believe he'd have lashed out as extremely at innocuous questions if he were completely certain, but his actions wouldn't have made sense if he knew he was that far from his claimed height and consciously deceiving people. I'm sure when someone like Gary Sinise tells him he himself is 5'8" and looks at Glenn funny when Glenn claims he looks taller because he [Glenn] himself is 5'8" would for anyone else have caused them to at least consider they were shorter than they believed, but for Glenn the logical or convenient conclusion to draw from this was that Sinise didn't know his own height. If Glenn can still seemingly convince himself he's 5'8" or at least have no qualms telling it to people aware of his measurement then convincing himself he were 5'8" before the measurement would be a piece of cake. Especially since Glenn had some wildly unscientific ideas about height. For instance, Sly's unexplained ability to go from looking from 5'7" to 6'2" (in Glenn's judgement) despite the fact that Sly's good posture would leave shoes and ground level as the only real variables. These variations were not uncommon to Glenn. He not only believed Mel Gibson could look 5'7"-5'8", he believed Gibson WAS 5'7"-5'8" due to premiere photos despite having met Mel by this point. Now he believes Mel is 5'11" despite only claiming 5'10", much like Sly, Colin Farrell and others.

MJKoP said on 13/Jan/18
Of course he saw it - but as you've hypothesized in the past, he simply purged the memory as it was too painful to accept. If you hooked him up to a polygraph and asked him his height, there'd be no indicators of deception as he answered "Five Foot Eight".

MJKoP said on 13/Jan/18
Yeah, if Rob were still "friends" with Glenn like I am, it would have to be from a dummy account where he'd block out his alter-identity. The incorrect font was really only secondary.

No, I *did* indeed mean the actual ones of the stadiometer measurements, showing his precise actual height(or at least according to everyone except him and these friends we keep hearing about). There would really be no need to manipulate the two of you standing next to each other, due to the posed one of G the (G)iant.

And I'm sure your CH admin database snapshots contain plenty of great stuff to behold. I remember when he said "anything is possible. even Stallone at 5-7".

Of course Sly "grew" to five eleven when the (G)reat contributor's stories began to crumble. If Sly had refused G's photo-op requests and possibly even turned down a John Hancock, do you seriously think he'd still be seen a full quarter inch above even his own highest claim? Hehe...

The Shredder said on 11/Jan/18
Wait , so G really is admitting to 5'6.5 now?

Rising - 174 cm said on 10/Jan/18
This is a fair downgrade as I think he must be somewhere from 5'8" minimum to 5'8.5" max, but he doesn't look like he's shrunk much more since around 2014-2015ish, imo. You can see he's still taller next to Mel Gibson than Mark Wahlberg is. Btw, I watched F.I.S.T. for the first time in years a while back and Sly pulls off taller than I remembered in it. If Peter Boyle was 6'2" and Kevin Conway 5'6" then Sly pulled off between 5'10"-5'11" with them at times. Of course, I think Conway is right that Sly was about 5'9" and wore lifts constantly. But if Sly is 5'8.25" now then Statham definitely needs a quarter inch downgrade as Statham does not look taller even with comparable footwear. I'd still say 175 cm peak and 174 now until I see something definitive to change my mind, but I've said for a while there's about a 50/50 chance of 5'8.75" peak and 5'8.25" now, especially since 174.5 would be right between the range Brigitte gave for Sly.

I don't get the impression that Sly has lost much height (but then again with all his smoke and mirrors it's hard to be certain). Some days of course he's gained it.

burby said on 7/Jan/18
Nah, Sly would still say 5'10" in 2018. Sal, two pepperoni slices and a medium Coke, please.

Brad said on 6/Jan/18
Sly has an Addams Family bed rack that pulls him each night, he has not gone below 5' 8". Would Sly say 5' 9" in '18 or stick to the 70's fibbing?

mojo said on 5/Jan/18
I totally disagree with the downgrade of his height on this page. Totally. I think Sly totally disagrees too... More seriously i didn't see any facts giving the impression that he lost height.

Brad said on 5/Jan/18
The chimps at the Bronx Zoo call him out for bananas nightly. 5' 6.5" is his height. 5' 8" is his dream height.

Soooo if Sly is down graded to 5'8.25 where does that put the Big G (Glenn)...5'5.50 i would assume would be fair.

Knock between 2"-3" off whatever height they say they are
Most of them wear wedged shoes

But there's no way he STILL claims 5'8" is there?...if he currently still believes he's that height, then I'd have to say he's most likely just trolling. If not that, then he'd have to be incredibly nuts!
Editor Rob: He's had a celebheights mindwipe 😁 Will be claiming 5ft 8 till the grave.

I'm sure he's just having a joke back at us 👋



You really think he knows the truth? I mean, for most people, having yourself measured on a stadiometer at whatever height despite insisting for years that you were almost 1.5 inches higher might be a bit disappointing, but they'd at least acknowledge the reality of it and move on....Glenn is not "most people". The stuff regarding him which I've alluded to in the past such as what he believed in and followed on his social networking profiles as well as some very specific things he confided to me privately made me seriously question his sanity and level of stability - and I'm honestly not saying that as a put down or dig at the dude, in fact quite the opposite. Certain afflictions(and again, I don't want to divulge personal info) are *not* excuses for bad behaviors, but they definitely should give an amount of compassion and sympathy for those who are suffering....despite them having hurt others who were undeserving. And those things can surely help explain why some people act so irrationally.

(Boba Fett said on 18/Dec/17 @Barry Fl That's a good point, most people assume Sly is significantly shorter than his 5'9" listing because of the lifts, doesn't help the perceived height for him.)

Yeah, I've definitely noticed this with a lot of people I've spoken to - and even I used to think he was about 5'6 or 5'7 until I started paying more attention. Not that I think he's much taller now, mind you - but I certainly wouldn't call him short. Maybe 5'9 or so in younger days, and an inch shorter now? But the guy's *appearance* of height is all over the place - he can look as tall as 6 footers on one day and then almost half a foot shorter the next! I have seen Sly in real life, but not really close enough to comfortably judge from that alone. I will say, he didn't look small though.

His fury was on me only. How many times: "Sly is 5' 8.5" and you at 9 P.M. after the 3 P.M. Bronx wake-up are 5' 6.5" in pictures". Is it true he says he is 5-8 in '17? I bet 222 and loaded down he might be 5-6 flat by 11 P.M.

You may have been the brunt of his hostility, but he'd habitually flip out on random guests at the drop of a hat(myself included). This unbecoming behavior actually repelled many visitors, despite his repeated cries of "this site iz literally nothing without ME!!!!!!" My first interaction with him ever was when I questioned the veracity of someone claiming to be Billie Joe Armstrong, on the respective page(and with only one post under that name!), and G immediately falling for it and replying as though he were talking to the man....I was promptly treated to insults and swear words. LOL, I guess I was somewhat naive back then to still befriend him despite of all the blatant warning signs, but fortunately never anywhere near his level of ignorance. :D

Harris said on 9/Dec/17
Another thing people need to remember is: Sly doesn't always wear lifts. Yes, he's slowed down on them more now, but even say 15-20 years ago its not like you couldn't find a shot of him without built-up shoes! He's always pulled off looking near 5'9" in normal footwear back in his heyday and even up to just a few years ago. Now as for Sly in lifts? He obviously could pull off looking at least 5'11" or more, depending on how big of a lift he's wearing and the thickness of his shoe/heel. Rob's listing are the most fair and reasonable estimates imo. 5'7" is a joke, and I'm not even going to go on about 5'6"!

Heightlover said on 9/Dec/17
Today he is 2 cm shorter than 175 cm Serena Williams(173 or 5'8.). He was 174 cm in his peak 5'8.5.

Sly's done himself no favours. All his attempting to be taller than he is has given the public perception that he's actually shorter than he is. Most people I speak to say 'oh yeah, he's a little short guy isn't he? About 5'6 or 5'7?'.

@Rising=Compare some height of people when you doesn't know exactly the real advantage of shoes(a little hard with some woman shoes and sometimes man elevator shoes) and the real height to the centimeter of the others cannot be very precise .

Rising - 174 cm said on 22/Nov/17
@James: I was barely joking. I really did it assume "young" meant 20ish and thought nothing more of it. But if someone like Glenn had heard that much, which turned out to be accurate then it only confirms further in my mind that quite a few in Hollywood had a good idea of what Spacey was up to. As for Sly, I think he'd probably look better now if he hadn't gotten much or any surgery as nobody really cares if he has wrinkles for his roles as long as he stays in shape. I wouldn't go as far as unrecognizable either, though as Real Anonymous pointed out a while back, the Growth Hormone did seem to make his nose bigger and aside from being unusually lean and shredded at his age, the Testosterone Sly has admitted to taking(and personally, I'd bet other anabolics over the years) decrease collagen synthesis so it does lead to extreme vascularity. As for the hair, I'll have to agree with Real Anonymous again and say Sly probably got a hair transplant and used a rug in the meantime. Now a side effect Sly didn't get is "growth hormone gut."

But overall, I think he's done outstanding staying in shape and minimizing height loss.

MJKoP said on 22/Nov/17
Rising - 174 cm said on 21/Nov/17
Incidentally, I remember Glenn telling me about ten years ago that Spacey liked "young, surfer types." I didn't think much of it because I always figured Spcey was gay and didn't know just how young that meant!


He was almost certainly just regurgitating what he learned from a 2nd, or even 3rd hand source. Heck, anyone with Internet access since the mid-90s "knew" the truths about Cosby, Ailes, Weinstein, et al....but they were nothing more than dormant rumors for decades. If you think Spacey divulged his now-revealed sexual affinities to paparazzi hound #38749789340609234 during the 5 to 10 seconds taken to pose for the 583rd duo shot of that hour, then you're sadly mistaken. :)

@Pierre: I'm talking about when there's someone there to compare her to. It's too subjective to say how tall her proportions look by herself. You will see one thing and I will see another. It's not going to settle anything, but next to other celebs, including Carl Weathers on video about a year ago nd Kelly Preston and Trvolta back in the 90's, she can look around the 6' mark in heels, imo.

@Pierre: I disagree. I can't really see her much less, especially the few comparisons I've seen of her with celebs who aren't Sly where she's not bending her knee.

I'd go more a hair under 5'9" than a hair over personally, but I think he held that weak 5'9" range through at least 2, maybe 3 Expendables films. So far no more corroboration on the allegations. Brigitte and the boy who played Sly's son in Over the Top have denied it. Obviously, it doesn't mean it couldn't have happened, but clearly, there's not enough to put Sly in the class of Spacey, Charlie Rose, Danny Masterson etc.

Incidentally, I remember Glenn telling me about ten years ago that Spacey liked "young, surfer types." I didn't think much of it because I always figured Spcey was gay and didn't know just how young that meant!

Stallone's wig makes him appear taller. He looks unrecognizable today due to too much plastic surgery.

I could buy a hair over 5'9" for his peak.

And in regards to recent the allegations, eyewitnesses report that he kept winking at her and had slurred speech(too edgy?).

Rising - 174 cm said on 20/Nov/17
@Pierre: Actually, Jennifer was listed 5'9.5" as a model. In old newspapers, I saw her described 5'9.5" and 123 pounds in a '93 newspaper article and 5'9" in a 1995 one. I think one or both were NY Times, but I'm not sure. We won't be able to tell by proportions whether she's 5'8.5", 5'9" or 5'9.5". She's always looked taller proportionately to me than say Katie Holmes, but maybe Katie is 5'8.5". Anyway, i have posted comparisons of Jennifer with other celebs listed on this site and imo, 5'9" seems pretty fair. She looks tall in heels with 6'0"-6'0.25" Travolta who would probably be about 186 cm range in dress shoes: Click Here She towers Kelly Preston who is listed 5'5.5" here. But anyway, my main point in posting the barefoot photo is just to compare their legs to show Sly's legs aren't THAT short if they're not much shorter than a woman at least as tall as him.

@polo: Valid points. It is indeed ambiguous because even if she was being truthful, she didn't know herself if Sly threatened her or not and did say she consented to Sly. Apparently she wasn't into De Luca, but did she tell him no? I'll have to check that because I read a few reports when the story broke as different reports included different details, but if there's something there, we may get the facts. Like I said, unless more facts come out, I can't make a judgement about this. So far the boy who played Sly's son in Over the Top is denying it and so is Brigitte, but of course Sly would have the money to get people to cover him. Though this doesn't prove they're covering him either. You're right that this type of thing was not uncommon though so I'm not going to say it didn't happen either. Go read up on Jimmy Page of Zeppelin for instance. A lot of the 80's musicians had a thing for jail bait. I'm not saying it was right either, but the proof in attitudes changing is the fact this report was filed in 1986 and nobody bothered reporting it until what? Last year.

Brad said on 20/Nov/17
Zito was "hanging" not "bodyguarding" with Sly and Pam. Felons can't get a license or have firearms etc. The Vegas police report was made but the accuser didn't sign off on it. I'm sure she lawyered up and waved it in his face and asked for a lump sum to not sign it. The incident was reported in a Baltimore paper at that time. I'm sure he was honest with his wife at the time, ask Elvis in '71, he had 5 De Luca's. Maybe she had DNA too?

Scoobydoo said on 20/Nov/17
@pierre: Harrison is still a bit over than 5'11 not under 5'11 I think he is 180'5 cm barefoot. And his peak was 183'5 /184cm barefoot.

@Rising= Jennifer Flavin is "listed" 5"9',which is maybe not her exact height.Lindsay Wagner is listed 5"9' here(and picture with Rob in 2008)= here are her proportions when younger(maybe a little taller when younger...) = Click Here and Jennifer = Click Here For me she look clearly taller than Jennifer here(legs, bust...)

polo said on 19/Nov/17
About allegations against Sly, i Think that some of the facts described by the girl herself are ambiguous. If something happened, I don't think it was a rape... More something stupid that "went wrong" because the girl was too young to handle this. I'm not saying this is nothing... I say it's complex. Even in a Trial it would not be a Black or White case.
This being said, during the 60's, 70's and 80's, Rock Bands and actors did this kind of thing with their fans. It was not a Scoop. It's became something strange more recently. And now, we rewrite History in 2017 and see things like that awfull. I'm not saying it's not. I'm saying that Times have changed a lot and fast.

Brad said on 19/Nov/17
Sly buys off his problems, common in Hollywood. De Luca was his "go to" guy for women.

Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Nov/17
I do agree Ford has probably dropped under 5'11" the last few years, but he has old man posture so who knows what he'd measure on a stadiometer. And Sly does have relatively short legs and a relatively long torso, but his legs aren't THAT short as evidenced by this barefoot pic from 2013 with his wife: Click Here Women on average have longer legs than men relative to their height and Jennifer like most 5-9ish models is pretty leggy so if Sly had unusually short legs, his legs would look shorter next to hers. I bet Sly's leg length isn't that different from mine(near 30" inseam). According to Sly and Franco Columbu, his waist was about 29"-29.5" at one point in the 80's. He was between 165-180 pounds at this time, though I believe his weight more 165 at the time his waist was this size. Though he didn't put on much, if any fat from Rambo 2 to 3 despite gaining 13-15 pounds.

Matt Damon seems to have shorter legs to me and a stockier build, though Damon has gotten stockier in his 30's and 40's than he was back in the 90's, while Sly was the opposite. Damon doesn't wear lifts like Sly does as far as I know, but would have the perfect proportions for some big lifts because even Sly with just relatively short legs could pass for a solid 5'11", sometimes with the illusion of being taller after he bulked up, especially when standing alone. Damon could probably do the same. Mel Gibson is similar at about 5'9" with short legs and can look a solid average when he wears cowboy boots. If you have longer legs, the illusion doesn't work so well and Vin Diesel is proof of this as with his trademark boots with a roughly 1" platform and 1.75" heels, he can often look like he's standing on something. Of course, Vin is above average height as well, which imo, makes lifts less natural looking than someone who is say 5'8"-5'10" range.

Slim 185 said on 19/Nov/17
Hijopotamus said on 14/Nov/17
@slim184, I said “looks” short, not that he is short. Damon and Sly look short and other people their height look tall because of their type of body.
*+**********
Yeah pretty much 5’9” is below average/average in the West, but I was a 5’9”er last year and didn’t look short because I’m thin and short torso’d. Damon and sly have thick long waists and appear shorter due to that. PS, 185 isn’t average in France, 😂

Pierre said on 18/Nov/17
@Scoobidoo(comment 15 Nov 2017) =or there is another reason = Harrison is under 5"11' now.See eventually the pics i posted in Harrison's page

Rising - 174 cm said on 18/Nov/17
As for height, he still looks about 5'8.5" last I've seen in numerous comparisons and can pull off up to 2" taller even now when he wears lifts -- see him with Michael Rooker and brother Frank this year. Maybe 1/4" less at about 5'8.25", but he still looks every bit as tall as Statham in no more footwear. Watching Rocky Balboa again I noticed that despite Sly wearing lifts in his boxing shoes, he really didn't look short next to a tall man like Antonio Tarver. Imo, he looked too tall to not be around 5'9" or a minimum 5'8.5". I believe lifts in boxing shoes helped, but there's a limit.

As for the allegation, I'd wait for more details before condemning Sly. Imo, it's important to know if she still maintains this happened TODAY. It's also worth noting that the girl's own story was that she had consensual sex with Stallone, but nto his bodyguard Mike De Luca and as far as the threat, she initially thought it was a joke, but then changed her mind for some as of now, unknown reason. Was that her own paranoia and/or immaturity after the fact? That definitely needs more explanation because I would think if it were important enough for Sly to threaten her, he'd make it clear, although this too is conjecture on my part. But the reports so far suggest this is ambiguous. Then we're left with her age. To be sure, even though the age of consent is 16 in Nevada, it would not be Sly's finest moment if it was confirmed he had sex with a 16 year old, but it'd still be important to know if he knew she was 16 or had reason to believe she was around that age. I don't think anyone would deny that there have always been 16 year olds who can get served in bars and pass for much older and realistically, nobody proofs girls before having sex with them. So we need more details to know if we're talking about something more like Rob Lowe or something predatory, if anything happened at all. It's important to remember that in 1986, when this allegation was made, Sly was THE biggest movie star in the world coming off both the 2nd and 3rd biggest films in 1985 before signing a record $12 million per movie deal with Canon, which due to the wildly inflationary monetary policy since is the equivalent of $25-30 million today. Being that prominent makes you a target and it's nothing new. At least one of the allegations against Michael Jackson appeared false for instance. In Sly's case, the Vegas police didn't think there was enough evidence to move forward, which prove it's false, but also shows it is far from being proven true. Of course, I've condemned Hollywood as among the most immoral industries for years so while I'd be disappointed if I learned that included Stallone, it'd be naive to say I could have had any indication what a man I don't know personally has done when the cameras aren't around. Point being, I'm personally waiting for more facts. If he truly is like the worst of his peers then it's almost a certainty there will be more convincing evidence forthcoming. Unfortunately, De Luca is dead, which makes it more difficult to know exactly what happened and as of now, Sly's accuser is unnamed. Remember, there's a reason people have a right to face their accuser.

As for Mel Gibson, actually, I'd have expected him to be one of the first names out there because there's MANY who have wanted to take him down for a good 15-20 years now. We'll have to see, but I think it's premature to start saying anything about Mel, far more premature than even Stallone. To be sure, Mel has his issues, but I've yet to hear a real allegation of him being a sexual predator.

Editor Rob: I'm thinking of starting a line in Height Potions and will certainly need some Guinea Pigs. I'm certain our old friend G would be first in line to offer to test out my 'Bigfoot Vitality', 'YetiMax' and 'Captain Caveman' pills 💪

actually that reminds me Will Ferrell once mentioned he had a bully who he thought was going to shrink him by throwing 'shrinking powder' on him!

It worked for Alex Jones....I mean, scam-wise; though it'd be pretty hard to pawn a miracle-grow-esque pill when you're only a weak 5'9". Just hire a really tall pitchman, and you should be home free....perhaps user Brad, as he could attest to the celebheights brand. He'd probably do it as long as you bought advertising on cryptozoology*-related websites(as I'm sure G wouldn't be your own customer!).

*Just realized spellcheck doesn't even recognize "cryptozoology" as a real word.

Brad said on 17/Nov/17
Too many meals with Meal Chaskey in Canarsie. Stallone's slush fund for buy-outs on potential lawsuits was/is massive. The legendary dragging through the hotel kitchen tale was a 500G meal. He can't use Zito as one, hiring a federal felon is really ugly if one pops up. That spiked stuff Sly has used has kept his height at 5-8, must be cement in it.

MJKoP said on 17/Nov/17
LOL, I totally see Lovitz there...poor John! At a currently-listed 5'8.5", G can be his Mini-Me.

And @Rob: Well, at 80, Stallone may end up under 5'7" but G will be in his mid-late 50s, so he'll definitely have shrunk more by then, as well....especially since G is hardly the epitome of physical fitness. Perhaps forfeiting a few hundred deluxe cheese steaks annually could yield him enough dough to visit some mystical shaman in South America who could then increase his height...after all, it's all one hundred percent real - to hell with all those quack doctors and scientists. :D

Barry Fl said on 17/Nov/17
I don't think Sly's doing himself any favours by putting out a statement that he's never even heard this accusation before. Even I heard it some years back. It's not exactly new.

Mel Gibson will be on that list in due time. Surprised he's not there yet... If G were famous, he'd already be on it for repeated instances of indecent exposure, self-confessed....check out the recently-unearthed gem on Ja Rule's page. And I see Stallone as still at least wee bit over 5'8" in 2017. Seems very height-conscientious.

Yer right, Lovitz. Sly is still a weak 5-8.

MJKoP said on 16/Nov/17
Lol, you could totally make that original cropped picture I posted a "screamer"; advertising a clickbait video on Rob's YouTube titled something along the lines of "EXCLUSIVE: Rob meets AND measures Justin Bieber". The video would start with Rob talking to the camera as though he's about to introduce the 'Biebs, or at least setting up a pretense for footage of their encounter....then suddenly, out of nowhere that face unexpectedly appears with a Bronx accent V/O saying "Five-foot-eight...who ya met, ya postman?"

@Free: That's absolutely ridiculous! Sly has pulled off a decent 5'9" more often than not, in normal footwear. The least I could argue is 5'8.5" for his peak. Most of the evidence points towards Rob's listings. However, a flat 5'8" can be argued for today I guess, but no less. 5'7" is a silly disproven myth.

Rising - 174 cm said on 28/Oct/17
@Pierre: Those aren't standard cowboy boots -- the heel is a bit bigger almost like a Cuban style -- but I'd guess at least a 2" heel there. The heel could even give 2" of actual height, but probably not much more, imo. To be clear, I'm not making any claims either way about lifts as obviously you could gain more with a lift inside. Oprah has very big heels there herself, though so it's not an even comparison as far as we can see. Here's another appearance on Oprah the following year with Kurt Russell: Click Here Sly has at least 2" heels again, but solid 5'9" Kurt has cowboy boots himself and looks noticeably shorter than Sly. I'm convinced Sly was a bare minimum 5'8.5" and more like a weak 5'9", imo. If he was only 5'7.5" then there's ample evidence to show Kurt would have to be 5'8" absolute max.

@James B: That sort of thing is impossible to say. Sly has seldom been heavy so that may have helped his knees as opposed to others into body building. I don't know about HGH causing height loss, but I'd say Sly staying in such phenomenal shape may have prevented significant height loss. I believe a lot has to do with genetics, though. Look at Carl Weathers who is at least 4" taller, clearly hit the weights and played football. At only a year a half younger than Sly, Carl also looks like he's lost a half inch tops. Most who do lose a lot of height have loose posture as they age like Dolph, Arnie. Hulk Hogan, Rock etc.

James B said on 26/Oct/17
Probably would still be 5'9 if he didn't do decades of heavy weight lifting and HGH.

Him at 71 only losing half an inch makes no sense too me. Yes he's a fit guy but usually the ones who are gym rats at his age lose over 1 inch.


I dunno maybe rapid height loss just isn't in his genetic makeup?

just looked at a clip from the Dinah Shore show in 1976 where Sly claimed he was 5'10 and also the Johnny Carson show in 1983 where he claimed he was a 5'10 Italian as well. During the interview with Carson he said that Hulk Hogan was 7'tall and weighed 350lbs.

Like any good storyteller, Sly likes to exaggerate and over-dramatize things. No bad thing, it makes it all interesting. But it does lend weight to the notion that he was certainly bumping up his own height. I'd guess he was probably 5'9 at very best, and rounding up to 5'10. If he'd genuinely been 5'10 I think he'd have tried to claim 6'. And I don't think he'd have gained such an enduring reputation as a short fellow (which he isn't, particularly).

Sly was very lean looking on Carson... if you check that clip out his nose has grown quite abit. It could be age related but im thinking his HGH use has contributed to it as well. His voice has under gone quite a transformation as well since then!
Im finding it hard to believe he was under 5'9 back then and if he was it couldnt have been very much.

Rising - 174 cm said on 18/Oct/17
@Tonyx: Sly claimed he had a reach of 73" in the 1978 Playboy interview. Of course, he claimed to be 5'10.75" tall in that same interview, so whether he exaggerated his reach too, I don't know, but I do think he's always looked to have relatively long arms for his height. But again, I believe Sly was exaggerating his height by 2" in that interview so it's possible he'd have added that same amount to his actual reach.

@Pierre: Those shoes have a thicker front/platform. The Cubans I wear don't have much of a front. My 2.75" heeled Cubans have a 3/16" front, my 2" heeled Cubans have about 1/8" front, my Dan Post cowboy boots have a heel near 2", but a front of 1/4", maybe 5/16" and my Tonya Lama cowboy boots(Sly has worn these over the years and has done some ads for them) have the typical 1.75" heel and 1/4" front/platform. I don't think there's too much of an insole in any of these boots. I haven't weighed myself in months, but I'd guess I'm still between 130-135. But if you're saying Pacino could have gained a bit more than 2", I agree it's possible, but not a lot more. The heels look about 2.5" to me, but that's just a guess.

Guys, what is Sylvester Stallone's reach/armspan?

Pierre said on 16/Oct/17
@Rising=Al Pacino's shoes= I want to say= with a classic insole,i think this shoes can give you a little more than 2 inches.When you wear shoes like this type = Click Here = only with this heel and the origin insole = you gain at least 3 cm ;i wear sometimes this type, i gain 3 cm ,and the heel isn't very hard(i'm around 270 lbs) then a lighter guy must gain a little more with this,like 3,1/3.2 cm.Al Pacino's shoes with hard heels + sole + classic insole =a little more than 2 inches is possible imo Click Here

Still pimping this height of 5' 8 1/2". Remove 1 1/2 " and you will be spot on. Hr could be a hair under 5' 7".

Rising - 174 cm said on 15/Oct/17
@Shredder: Nothing over 5'8.5" today. Nothing over 5'9" peak, imo. He'll still look about that with good posture and then over 5'10" with his lifts, but while it's debatable if he hit the full 5'9" mark, I think it's clear he's not that tall anymore.

@Pierre: How do we know what Pacino's insoles are there? Those Cubans have heels over 2", which is the main reason he gets about 2" of actual height, but both Rob and I agreed Pacino likely did not have an extra lift inside. I have 2 pairs of Cubans. One has pretty much exactly a 2" heel and give me roughly 1.75" in height when I don't put extra lifts in them and I have another pair of Cubans -- which are actually more comfortable -- and have 2.75" heels, but I don't think they give me much over 2" to 2.25" range in actual height without an extra lift inside, though I'll have to measure myself in them soon to tell you exactly. As for cowboy boots, I can say that I have a pair of Tony Lama and a pair of Dan Post and both have pretty much exactly 1.75" heels. I can tell you that these heels are at least as big as what Frank is wearing with Tom Sizemore. As for Sugar Ray Leonard, Rob said he was taller and I'd guess it'd have to be notable enough for Rob to guess him a weak 5'9". Besides, Sugar Ray was already 58-59 by then so 1/4" loss isn't hard to believe at all. He was about 50 in most of the pictures with Frank Stallone. I do believe Sugar Ray has shrunk more in the 4 years since he met Rob and is now no more than 5'8.5".

Jim Hopper said on 14/Oct/17

I honestly do not even have a real estimate for Sly . I have changed so much on him. All I know is that I find it hard to see him over 5'8.5 to 5'9 in recent years.

Brad said on 13/Oct/17
Those Pacino Montana Cubano zapatos are custom killers. Sly would love those.

Rising - 174 cm said on 13/Oct/17
@Harris: Here's what I was referring to as far as Sly in lifts in 2017.

Sly wearing perhaps as much as 2.5"-2.75" type footwear with his 5'10.5" listed brother Frank this year: Click Here
Candid shot of Sly with 5'9" listed Michael Rooker around the same time: Click Here

If both listings are accurate then Sly can still pull off 5'11" with his brother and at least 5'10.5" with Rooker, but I can't imagine that's the case so Frank is probably a flat 5'10" these days and Michael Rooker can look 5'8.5" nowadays himself so maybe we'll say Sly passes for 5'10"-5'10.5" when he dusts off his faithful lifts. Still shows, imo that he's about 5'8.5" or 5'8.25" as Tom Cruise with boots that add a similar amount only passes for 5'8.5", maybe 5'9" and Robert Downey Jr. in his high-tops stuffed with lifts manages maybe 5'9"-5'9.5". Of course, a skeptic could argue all 3 are shorter, but that's not my view.

@Brad: Not in the shots with De Niro, Tyson, Michael B. Jordan and the recent shot with Chan.

Pierre said on 13/Oct/17
@Rising =imo the shoes of Al Pacino give him a little more than 2 inches with the insole.Rob lose around the same height as Sugar in the picture imo,and seem to have a longer head than him,only Sugar's cap is higher than Rob imo.

Harris said on 13/Oct/17
I just noticed I posted Michael B Jordan as "Michael B Howard" in my post Lol...I'm such an idiot.

Rising - 174 cm said on 12/Oct/17
@Pierre: Rob said Sugar Ray looked a weak 5'9" at that time so I think 5'8.75" at the time is fair. He's still a bit taller than Rob and slouching so it makes sense. 5'8.5" at the absolute worst back then. But if you give Sizemore's heels 1" then there's absolutely no way Frank has a 1" footwear advantage unless he's wearing lifts. 1.75" is pretty standard for a cowboy heel and Frank's are certainly not bigger than that. I'd have to see the model of Tom's boots to know if the heel is 1" or 1.25", but it also depends on the insole. But I don't know of a current cowboy boot that gives 2" of actual height, which would require a heel over 2". You'd see some cowboy boots with 2" or bigger heels in the 70's and 80's, but nowadays, only some rare Cuban heel boots are men's shoes with a heel over 2" that give at least 2" of actual height. Most men's Cubans have a heel from 1.5" to 2", though, nowadays.

Just to give you an idea of men's footwear that would give 2", Rob estimated Al Pacino's Scarface footwear would give 2" of actual height: Click Here Click Here

@Harris: Good post, though I'll say I stopped estimating Sly in anything other than full pics and videos just because he's so enigmatic I like to have as few variables as possible. He does still look at least 5'8.5" with Michael B. Jordan and was actually still passing for 5'9" at times with De Niro. When Sly looked to wear what looked like those Hogan sneakers or something similar at the Guardians of the Galaxy premiere this year, he was slightly taller than his brother Frank, so I assume he pulled off a bit over 5'10", perhaps 5'10.5". This makes sense as he looked noticeably taller than 5'8.5"-5'9" Michael Rooker in a photoshoot for that same film around the same time. I was surprised to see him wearing lifts again. Then again, Burt Reynolds is bent over with a cane and still wearing his famous 2" heeled elevator boots.

Harris said on 11/Oct/17
@Rising: Thanks for the response! I'd bet Sly will start looking no more than a weak 5'8" in 5-6 years, and by 2025, he'll probably look no more than 171 cm. But then again a guy like George H.W. Bush didn't seem to lose any height during his 70's...though that would probably be an exception. He definitely looks no less than a solid 175 cm with Sorbo. I do wonder what's the tallest height Sly could pull off these days though...he doesn't appear to wear lifts anymore and for a while in fact.

Anyway, here's Sly and 5'8" listed (current height) Jackie Chan: Click Here and here's both men at peak (when Chan was 5'8.5") and Sly in lifts back in '01: Click Here

Sly and 6'2.5" Dwayne Johnson: Click Here (this was taken at an event in '05, and Sly was obviously wearing lifts with built-up shoes hence his 5'11"-5'11.5" appearance that day: Click Here)

Sly with 5'10.5" Michael B Johnson: Click Here Click Here Click Here (these shots were taken in 2015, when Stallone obviously lost some height and he does look more 174 cm with him by this time, which is Rob's current listing for him, but in the last photo he's bending his knee and still doesn't look under a weak 5'9" at the least there)

Sly with 5'9" listed Michael Jackson: Click Here Click Here (I'm unaware of Sly's footwear here, but these are taken backstage of both the Bad and Dangerous Tours, so I assume Sly wore lifts/built-up footwear while Jackson wore loafers)

Sly and 5'7.5" Robert De Niro at the "Grudge Match" premiere in '13: Click Here Click Here

A lot of you guys must remember that Sly looked no shorter than 5'9" in obvious normal footwear with Mike Tyson in 2011: Click Here and skip to 11:35 onwards in Click Here That's enough to dispel and destroy the stupidly ridiculous 5'6"-5'7" rumours!

Brad said on 10/Oct/17
Hanging on by near nothing at 5-8 flat in October 2017.

Rising - 174 cm said on 10/Oct/17
Speaking of height loss for a man 70+ with relevancy to Sly, Rob has a picture with a 73 year old John Amos who he still guessed weak 5'10.75" down from 5'11.5" peak. Amos looks great for his age and has barely changed based on Rob's picture. Don't know if there's some correlation there genetically. But it does seem to validate the 5'11.5" peak and Sly pulled off barely shorter in Lock Up if you see the wide shot of the two walking at about 40 seconds here: Click Here or the shot at about 1:15 of the two standing together. Those don't look like 4" boots on Sly either, imo.

Rising - 174 cm said on 10/Oct/17
Even considering Sly is standing in front, I have a tough time seeing him much under 5'9" with Kevin Sorbo: Click Here Rob lists Sorbo over 6'3" cm and though Sorbo has a loose stance, Sly is dropping height himself leaning. Sly's golf shoes look a bit thicker than Sorbo's do: Click Here Click Here Click Here but his ankle looks about where it should be. If Sorbo is or was 191 cm at the time then Sly even seems more 175 than 174, imo.

True, and being locked in a cage with a guy they call "Bigfoot" might not be his idea of the holy grail after all.

Rising - 174 cm said on 9/Oct/17
@Harris: It varies, but yeah, that's when it accelerates for many. The average in a survey was basically 1 cm or 0.4" for every decade after 40, but then this basically doubled between 70 and 80. Though many lose a lot more than 0.4" in their 60's. Of course, there are exceptions such as Chuck Norris who I believe Rob has spot on at 5'8.5" peak and not only did he still look about that height when he was 72 during the Expendables 2 premiere, but even now at 77, he still looks 5'8" or at worst, a fraction under as Rob also agreed from seeing photos of Chuck at conventions. Then there's Robert Redford who I don't think was over 5'10" and probably not over 5'9.5" by his late 60's/early 70's yet still looks 5'9". William Shatner is perhaps the most remarkable because I'm skeptical he was even the 5'9" peak Rob lists him and by his early 60's, Shatner struggled with 5'8" yet he still somehow looks nothing under 5'7.5" even today at 86.

As for Sly, if he was 5'8.5"-5'9" in his prime then there's no way he's 5'7"-5'7.5" today. He simply doesn't look that different and didn't look to lose anything until sometime between ages 67-69. As I've said, I believe he went from a weak 5'9" to a strong 5'8"(5'8.25"-5'8.5") but saying he's 5'7" or so today fits much better with those who believe Sly was never over 5'8" flat.

Look at this candid taken this year of Sly and Michael Rooker who Rob still estimates 5'9": Click Here Of course Sly has more footwear just like when he showed up looking taller than brother Frank at the Guardians premiere, but even so, he pulls off looking convincingly taller than Rooker. In fairness, I think both Sly and Rooker have gone from about 5'9" peak to 5'8.5" today.

Pierre said on 9/Oct/17
@Rising=Tom Sizemore's shoes have not a very big heel,they give around 1 inch imo.Cow boy shoes don't give you always the same height,it depends on marks.Frank(if not lifts) has probably around 1 inch advantage of shoes on Tom imo.Sugar Ray Leonard next to Rob look 5"8' range without his cap imo Click Here and next to Frank he seem to be in very flat shoes,Frank more N.shox type(don't know exactly this shoes but the heel seem to be advantageous),in others pics we don't see the shoes.Sugar Ray Leonard is slouching in all the pictures

Harris said on 9/Oct/17
Rob, how much on average would a guy lose in height from age 70 to 80? I'd imagine that's the age range where the biggest drop in height occurs...

Pierre said on 6/Oct/17
@Rising=i would be surprised that boots like Frank's Cow-boy boots would give him only a half inch on Tom's classic boots.

MJKoP said on 6/Oct/17
@Rising - 174 cm Thank you, and I was aware of pretty much all of that. I think the Stallone and Gibson measurements crept up steadily post-'09 to in a way compensate for any lingering doubts of him being 5'8". The taller any celeb photographed with him is, naturally the taller he himself would have to be. Also, G DOES know about the 1/8 of an inch that should be deducted from the in-person measurement. I sent him the "Big Grapple" link when we were still friendly-ish. I was pretty annoyed with him at the time(of course I couldn't tell him unless I felt like sparking WW3), so I prefaced it with "This may be difficult for you to view, but you should see this hit-piece Rob wrote". He expressed to me that he wished I hadn't sent him that, but that he was now seriously considering suing Rob because he knows of how strict slander/defamation laws are in Scotland. I would pay my bottom dollar to witness that infamous stadiometer brought into a courtroom. Anyhoo, he also requested I do some tech-related stuff in retaliation that I really don't care to get into. Needless to say, I never would or did.

@Brad: When a memory is so traumatic(i.e. being measure by the Cannonball Run Doctor at a mere 5'6.5"), some people are able to purge such a memory by adding their own narratives(i.e. the doctor was a quack, uneven floor, etc) to help themselves live in a more idealistic reality. It's hard to wrap your mind around, yes, but when you can lull yourself into such a false sense of comfort, you will hold no reservations whatsoever about walking into the most blatantly obvious deathtrap conceivable(i.e. a hotel room with Rob, Jenny, a stadiometer and a still camera).

@Rob: In hindsight, why couldn't it have been a *video* camera, if not just a hidden one? The footage captured would have been beyond priceless.

Brad said on 6/Oct/17
G at 5' 7 and whatever now is about deuce deuce zero lugging big bags of drumheads etc hours after afternoon wake-up....subtract another 1/2" by 10 P.M. in midtown. Under 5' 7.5" in '07 photos assuming he's still in the autograph racket.

Rising - 174 cm said on 6/Oct/17
@Pierre: Nobody seriously thinks Frank was ever 6'1", except Frank! Maybe Jackie Stallone too... Footwear difference isn't an inch difference either. Cowboy boots typically have a 1 3/4" heel, which add maybe 1 5/8" of actually height. Sizemore's boots probably add 1" to 1.25" so I think a fraction difference is about right as it'd be a half inch at most. Both Tom and Frank are probably about 5'10" these days or 177-178 cm range judging by the fact Sly in lifts can pull off taller than Frank this year. Sizemore's posture is atrocious so any guess will be a rough one. Incidentally, Sly and Tom Sizemore looked similar height range in Lock Up with Sly of course wearing lifts. This doesn't prove one side or the other in the argument about Sly, but I thought I'd mention it as it's the only time I've seen Sly and Tom Sizemore together. Of course, Sizemore may have been 1 cm taller 30 years ago than he is today.

@MJKoP: That's always been my thought. At least up until the meeting, but speaking to Glenn after, I honestly got the sense that he had basically found a way to justify what he thought was a 5'6 5/8" measurement (I can only imagine if he knew it was actually 1/8" less!). Although hardly scientific, he seems to view it as some freakish one-time low and may have disregarded it as somehow rigged by now altogether. It was also easier for him to call a 5'7 1/8" measurement "5-7.25 or near that" than the actual 5'7" flat, which was his high measurement. The only time he was speaking realistically was when he mentioned he might only be 5'7.5" out of bed, but instead of the worst case scenario he viewed it as, that's about the most he could measure out of bed as it'd still mean shrinking at least an inch. 5'7.25" would be more typical. He actually took the 5'7ish measurement as a low as he told me years ago that he wouldn't object to someone saying he shrunk to 5'7" at night, but really that's 1/2" generous. For the record, I really don't care what he tells people in his personal life. It's just silly Glenn trying to convince people who know better. He'd be better off not addressing celebheights. And saying men like Stallone, Gibson and Colin Farrell are not the 5'10" they claim, but 5'11" is also ridiculous and hardly consistent with the logic he uses to support this (i.e., he's met them and therefor, he knows) as certainly meeting them does not put him in as good of a position as BEING them does.

Glenn's earlier views were more reasonable. He initially thought Mel Gibson was 5'9" having met him and looked taller sometimes due to cowboy boots, which is actually spot on, imo. But ironically, he used premiere photos to justify changing his views to Mel at a ridiculous 5'7"-5'8" for a while and now says an equally ridiculous 5'11" having met Mel again when he filmed The Beaver. He always thought Stallone was taller, but you can see Glenn fairly open to Sly being 5'9" and fooling him over a decade ago (more or less right) and at least he was saying 5'10" at times then, but has gradually gone from saying 5'10", 5'10.5" and 5'10.75" to specifically saying Sly is NOT 5'9" OR 5'10", but 5'11"!

Harris said on 6/Oct/17
Didn't Glenn claim 5'8" was his morning height? I recall him saying that, but even if he did its highly unlikely a man who'd measure that out of bed could drop to 5'6.5" by evening!

The thing is, just a few years ago he was still claiming 5'8" (yes, even after Rob measured and exposed his height), so whether it's delusion or...I mean, why would he agree to get measured by Rob given his obvious height complex? So this is a dude who is very obsessed about height/celebrity heights and endlessly argues with anyone who points out his height yet evidently doesn't even seem to actually KNOW his own TRUE height? Hard to buy, but what a joke...He brought it all on himself!

Rising say on 04/Oct/17=I don't get what is supposed to prove?
So you must read or reread the comment of Anonymous.And the interest is= the pictures i posted were made in 2014,the picture in this page (Sly/Franck) was made around this date(Expendable 3 =2014 ),the picture Tom Sizemore/Rob around this date(2011),so the parameter of the loss of height by the years seem to me limited to try to guess their heights...
Rising say on 04/Oct/17=Frank look taller.Tom has boots too so probably only a fraction less
I agree with you if for you a fraction is at least 1 inch...So Franck a little shorter than 5"10.25' Tom Sizemore is very arguable imo.And even in this cow boy shoes he don't look taller than Tom if you consider the postures.And so 6"1'peak barefoot for Frank would be very questionable(more 6"1' in good cow boy boots).He seem to be in very good shape with a very good posture in the pictures i posted(in 2014 he was only 64),i don't see him lose all this inches by the years like you seem to write

I'd bet a lot of money Sly has no lifts in those shoes. The front is completely flat. I see them about the same meaning Sly is 1/2" to 3/4" shorter barefoot, imo.

@Pierre: I don't get what this is supposed to prove? Frank looks taller than Tom. Tom has boots himself so probably only a fraction less. But I do suspect Frank Stallone has shrunk. Sly in shoes that look similar to those Hogan sneakers looked taller than Frank this year: Click Here Sly must have lifts in there so I think he'd get 2.5"-2.7" over barefoot, but if Frank were still 5'10.5", that would mean Sly can still pass for 5'10.75"-5'11", which I do not believe, at least not in those type of shoes. And if you look at the photo above of Sly in normal 1" dress shoes back to back, he only looks 2 cm, maybe 1" max shorter. It's possible Frank may have had just 2 cm shoes and gotten a fraction less than Sly and that was 3 years ago when I believe Sly was still at peak height or at worst, within 1/4" of it. But either way, Frank is not 2" taller than Sly these days. If Sly is currently 174 cm as I believe then Frank looks more 177-178 cm these days. Frank looks to have shrunk more than Sly has. But that still means Sly can pull off about 178-179 cm so he's still clearly taller than guys like Cruise and Downey, imo.

take in consideration the 5"9' height of Serena is a number on a paper...."official heights" are not always very precise or are sometimes the height with shoes,and sometimes the height with comfortable shoes

Harris said on 2/Oct/17
@Tim so your saying he was 5'8 ¾" in his prime, yet that he at his very best woke up at 176 cm? You do realise most people have a daily height shrinkage of about ¾-1 inch, right? That would most likely put him at more 177 cm range if he fell a fraction under 5'9" at his low. Anyway, Sly's shoes don't look that thick with Serena Williams. I'd say her flats probably do give about ¼ of an inch, while (imo) Sly's give no more than 2 cm...they look liftless to me too, so anyone who tries to use lifts as an argument is only basing that off speculation and personal feelings toward his height, rather than rational thinking. Its pretty clear he was close to 5'9" peak, and is anywhere from 5'8" to 5'8.5" max today at 71 years of age. He's in amazing shape for his age though, just compare his posture to Trump who's of the same age! Working out really pays off later in life I guess.

Rob, may I ask who the amateur boxer was? How can we even be sure he didn't skew his estimate in someway? I just can't take the 5'6"-5'7" stuff seriously, what man that short pulls off looking close in height to six foot range guys and in relatively (but of course not completely) normal-ish-looking footwear, I mean its not like he wore brick shoes. What an enigma Sly is!

On a side note, here's some photos of Sly with 5'9 ½" Jack Nicholson: Click Here Click Here Click Here Nicholson was 65 and Sly was 56 here in 2002, I assume Nicholson lost height by then but I don't think he dropped under a weak 5'9" at the least by then and Sly still looks taller, plus he wore flat-looking shoes, certainly not suspicious-looking by any means: Click Here ; and with 5'10.25" peak Paul McCartney: Click Here Click Here and I do admit I'm unaware of both men's footwear in these pics.

Sly is 5'8 today 5'8.75 in his youth. He nver hit the 5'9 mark. Disrespectful for strong legit 5'9 guys. Right after bed there's chance he hit 176 cm range in his best day

I watched Tango and Cash the other day and I noticed that during the scene when Sly's character(Tango) requests to speak to Cash(Kurt Russell), Sly looks about an inch taller than Kurt despite Kurt wearing cowboy boots as you can see when Kurt puts his foot on the table. I believe Sly was wearing the at least 2" heels you see at the beginning of the film, but with Kurt wearing a standard 1.75" cowboy heel himself to begin with, it minimize the advantage Sly would get from his heels. While I don't think Sly was ever a mm over 5'9", the 176 cm guesses are understandable because it's possible Sly was as tall as Kurt, who Rob lists 5'9.25". Of course, it's not certain Kurt was over 5'9" flat himself, though I think Rob's listing is fair and if that's the case, Kurt would reach near 5'11" in cowboy boots making him appear like a 5'10" man so along with Sly having 5'9.5" Geoffrey Lewis by over an inch at the beginning, Sly could pass for 5'11" when wearing those heels in Tango and Cash.

On a different note, I thought Sly pulled off solid 5'10" range in the first Expendables. Here he is on set with Gary Daniels, who is listed here at 5'10": Click Here But he must have looked shorter than that in Expendables 2, as 5'8"-5'8.5" Chuck Norris seemed a bit taller in the film and roughly as tall in this on set photo: Click Here Here's the two in a premiere video?: Click Here The angle is a bit high, but Sly's shoes looked very normal: Click Here Click Here while Norris -- another known lift wearer -- had cowboy boots, which look to me like they may even be Burt Reynolds style custom elevator boots: Click Here Click Here I'd bet Sly slightly taller than Norris barefoot both in their primes and at that time(Norris may or may not have lost up to a half inch by Expendables 2, but I don't think Sly had lost anything) so it's surprising Norris would appear to edge Sly in the film. The main thing I found interesting is that Sly looked shorter and seemed less height conscious during Expendables 2 and promo appearances for that film compared to the 1st and 3rd films. He brought out the lifts for a few Expendables 1 appearances and almost seemed to alternate between normal shoes and lifts promoting the 3rd while as I've mentioned, I thought Sly even pulled off 5'11" in the 3rd film, but considering Norris may only pass for 5'9.5"-5'10" even with lifts, Sly at the very least did not look taller than that in the scene with Norris in Expendables 2. I'm not even sure he wore lifts in that film as surprising that is, but seeing not much of a difference between the two at the premiere when Norris had an obvious footwear advantage is what makes me question this.

Also, here's video of Sly and Arnold out in 2008 when Arnold was still around 6 feet: Click Here The reason I bring it up is I initially brushed it off assuming Sly had huge lifts in his boots, simply because it's Sly and he's wearing boots, but do they even look unusual?: Click Here Click Here I think he's helped by Arnold wearing what look to be 2 cm max sneakers while Arnold didn't seem to be holding good posture that day. I'm not doubting the good possibility Sly could have lifts as well, but I do doubt those are say, 3" boots or that he'd be less than 5'8.5" without them and measuring up so well to a 6' man. If you notice, Sly's knees don't even look particularly high, nor his legs particularly long.

Next to Serena Williams ( strong 5'9) Stallone looks very similar. They are in flat. They don't wear lifts in those pics.Very natural.

Could be 174 cm sly barefoot nowadays and 176 cm 177 cm in peak is very reasonable sure. He said was 5'10 remember you! up this page you can read.

@Rising=You can see Serena is slouching in the first pic(29/Sept/17) but look taller than Sylvester,Sylvester is slouching a little ,no more than her,and very probably at most lose height as much as her (all her bust is inclined not Sylvester ) but she's higher than him by around 1 inch in the picture imo.

Let us ask brother FRank......"Sly is 5 foot 10, cantcha tell, who have ya met? Yer astronaut?"

Frankie68 said on 30/Sep/17
There's no debate with Serena ,, she is clearly taller than him (no doubt)..She is in flats (which is laughable) ..He has a shoe advantage & possibly a lift in his shoe as well ,, (which i dont doubt) ...5'7 for Sly Max !!!

I meant there are people who is 5'9.5 and not say I am 5'10 but 5'9.

Johnson said on 30/Sep/17
@Melyst please put the source of 175...Serena claimed 5'10 and 5'9, not 1.75 as far as I know

I think she is around 5'9.5. There are people who is 5'9 and not say I am 5'10 but 5'9. She could be last time measured late 5'9.5...

Just watch Serena and Michelle Obama...

Sly is fully militarized in posture, Serena bending the knee(Insert Chapo Trap House/Game of Thrones joke here). Sly is Cruiser-ing with a 1.25" inch taller gal barefoot to barefoot.

@Djs: Which Rambo are you referring to? He was 165 in Rambo 2, 178-180 in Rambo 3 and 213-215 in the last Rambo. And a weak 5'9", but the latter debate will never end. However, his weight is easily found from his book Sly Moves, interviews and official site. He was 159 in Victory, which was his lowest film weight. He also dropped to 155 for Rocky 3, but built himself up to 163 for the film. He got back to his more typical 175-180 for the first Expendables and looks in that range now. I don't know about his weight in First Blood, but I'd guess 160 range.

Funny thing I realized was while Frankie and I may disagree as much as anyone on Sly's actual height, it seems we agree he hasn't shrunk much.

Rising - 174 cm said on 30/Sep/17
@Pierre: Serena moving around like that while laughing is not as good a position to compare as the two standing side by side posing. If you look at this one again: Click Here Sly's back and legs look straight, but his head is not up. Serena has one leg straight and doesn't look to be bending her knees much. I could have chosen this one, but I think she's not standing as straight as the other: Click Here And in this one, Sly is slouching himself while the camera is on Serena's side: Click Here There's not any real height difference that day with the footwear they're wearing. The other pose of Serena moving around while laughing is just not good for a pic to compare height. Of course, the height difference would be roughly the difference in footwear with Serena's 1/4" flats and Sly's 0.75" to 1" range dress shoes.

Melyst: Actually, she hasn't always claimed 5'9", she claimed 5'10" at one point as well, but who is contradicting her usual claim? Nobody. i said a solid 5'9" to 5'9.25". She is taller than Caroline, there are enough photos of the two side by side to show that. Many tennis players have thought she was 5'10", even 5'11". That's obviously not true, but 5'9.25" is more than possible. Most people don't include quarter inches. Sly is a minimum 5'8" even now and looks it with Serena. I think more like Rob's listing. I do agree that a full 5'9" is probably a bit high for his prime. More a fraction under and around 5'8.75" peak, imo.

Djs said on 30/Sep/17
5'7" and 154lbs in rambo.Being lean and broad shouldered with 3" lifts you are going to look so much bigger on screen

Que no te enteras
Serenas Williams tennis player has claimed she is 5'9 and 175 cm. Both measurements in height and cm. So She is 5'8.75/ 5-9. Have you seen those potos with Stallone?. He has more foot advantaged and Serena being relax looks taller than him. She is 1 inch taller than him. Stallone is 173 cm today not over. He is one of the ones he has not even shrunk. He has maintence a good Athletic posture all his carrer trying to stay tall and look taller. The most he could hit in his youth is 174,5 cm. 175 maybe 2-3 hours after bed. A guy like him walking tall and with his shoes can look more than 175 or 5'9 but you can see he was not never ober 175 cm or 5'9! Have you seen Rocky movies? He even looked a bit below average or average at that time. But he looked beteween 5.8'5 5'9 max! Here are the photos with Serena who is max 5'9 she also said 175 cm tall. Look Stallone has more advantage and better posture:

Why Yous guys always try to boost and upgrade heights? Serena's oficial height is 5'9. She also always claimed she is 5'9. She looks like a 5'9 woman at most also. And If Serena says she is 5'9 is the hight height she can be, so nobody would say less about his own height..Serena at 5'9 is a good proof to see how Stallone looks today. Dont also say an excuse he shrunk a full inch because he never was over 5'9... lol at 176-177 cm. He was beteween 5'8.3- 5.8'75 in his peak and 5'9 at morning hours

I think you are a bit blind. Don't you see Sly is straight as always? Serena is just relax. Figured out If Serena would stay straight .. Also Sly shoes more advantage.
He is 5'8 today at most 5.8'75 in the past not a legit 5'9

People here who are saying that serana has 1 inch on Sly should give some evidences because i can't find them. I see no advantage for serena williams.

Rising - 174 cm said on 28/Sep/17
He's not an inch shorter than Serena. They're about the same height, though Sly has at least a half inch footwear advantage: Click Here And I don't know where the 5'8.75" is coming from for her, more 5'9"-5'9.25" range, imo as she's taller than 5'9" listed Caroline Wozniacki. Sly would obviously be shorter than Serena if they had equal footwear, but I'm not convinced those shoes Sly has are even a full 1". The heel isn't very big and based on how flat they are, there doesn't look much room for much of an insole.

Melyst said on 28/Sep/17
Today he is somewhere 5'7.75 -5'8
Peak 5'8.5 5'8.75 max. He was not even 5'9. Amazing some few claim he was over 176 cm just dreaming

Why you said that? instead of just say something info yourself . Read below those pics next to Serena Williams a legit 5'8.75-5'9. She has 1 inch on Sly. This guy is 5'8 today and with luck he was very close to 5'9 . 176-177 with sneakers please

The Oscars 40+ years ago rival Rocky Balboa premiere Munsters...those things could have been used as boat anchors. Hey Real, who was the biggest twerp backstage? The first Rocky training videos when he was wearing standard boxing shoes are pretty funny....by the filming he was in wedged customs with great camera work.

This pic of Sly and 5'10" Chris Rock surprised me: Click Here It surprised me because it was taken last year in the middle of a maybe 2 or so year stretch where I don't remember thinking Sly wore lifts to any event I saw him at. These other 2 pics makes a bit more sense, though when you consider Rock is slouching: Click Here Click Here Of course, my position is that all photos of Sly where you can't see feet should be taken with a grain of salt, but they can be interesting nonetheless.

The heels he had at the 1977 Oscars don't look any bigger than 2" to me, but he does look taller than he should -- near 5'11", imo -- so he maybe he had same extra help inside his boots and/or Ali's slouching helped. Sly didn't that night in a picture with a 69 year old John Wayne: Click Here

@Jim Hopper: We may not agree on many heights, but we do agree on this. It's almost like Sly has picked up on our curiosity about his height and has decided to mess with us. Sly made himself a 6 footer for this pic with a prime Rock, who I believe was a full 6'3" back then: Click Here This doesn't mean he passed for a 6 footer at the event, of course. I think he'd look 5'10.5" to 5'11" at most events during that time, but keep good posture while the person you pose with slouches, move just a bit closer to the photographer and/or go up on your toes a bit and suddenly, Sly is "Walking Tall."

@HeightcrazyRed6ft: Agree on peak, though 173 is the absolute lowest I'd go for current height. And whatever Sly is taking in recent years, it seems he knows what he's doing. That's a key as well as genetics. Last I saw Jose Canseco, he still looked good, yet his former "Bash Brother" Mark McGwire looked terrible when he returned as a hitting coach and I specifically remember he was still young at the time at only 46. The reason I remember is because I was shocked at how old and deteriorated he looked.

Frankie68 said on 26/Sep/17
@Brad ,,I totally agree !! If you look close at the video he has an over 2 inch heel & god knows whats stuffed inside !!

Brad said on 26/Sep/17
He was in massive heeled customs with Ali at the Oscars 40+ years ago. At 5' 8.5" versus six three he had to be heeled and ramped.
