Christian I am making insane humour not being serious about 7 inch elevators.. Just making a point that If sly was 5ft7 like frankies claim he should have weared 7inch platforms thats what I am saying .)))
Cause Frankie is a marginal member of this site saying Sly was 5ft7 in his peak and I am trying him to proove that claim.
Personally I am 5ft8 - 5ft8.5 not really need big elevators. I Just sometimes wear 1inch ones in rare occasions that gives 1.8 total with the heel of my shoe..)) I am not a elevator abuser...))) I also really dont like walking in them cause making my shoes heavy..)) Generally I only try big lifts in home to test their total gain... Otherwise I generally wear normal shoes.. The point I am saying there are members quoting Sly is 5ft7 or 5ft10 and I am trying to meke them proove their claim. For example I post a photo that Nielsen has 4cm cubans making her 1.87 cm and Sly only looks 2cm shorter than her.. So how can be Sly was 5ft7 ? Concerning the fact that the most a person get with elevators are around 10cm range how can SLy be 5ft7 ? Thats the thing I am saying for 3 years... For those that guessing 5ft7 the only possibility is photoshop.

With Henry Winkler around 5'6" peak, if Sly were 5'7" max he'd look similar in size, yet you'd have to be blind to believe that: Click Here Rob has him pretty accurate. You can argue quarter inches, half inches or 1 centimeter. He looks too tall to be below that range, but can look too short to be much above it. The idea that he's not much taller than Winkler, Woody Allen, Elton John etc. should not be taken seriously.

Hey frankie do you know a site that sells 7inch - 8inch type of elevator shoes ? I am looking forward to try them since I am 5ft8.5 normally maybe I can pull of 6ft2 in weddings. I will be very glad If you send me link of the site ? I also asked allan from dons that could he make a 7inch Midsole walkable elevator shoe . He replied I could make Arthur but you cant walk with them so better buy a photoshop program to make yourself that much taller. Also I am looking forward to meet G in NYC next winter he send me a mail that he is trying to design the expendables 3 version of portmans which adds 3inches. Offered me a good price. He also said he is the same height as Rob but he is thinking Rob weared 1.2inches lifts in his socks that measurment day. So Sly can maybe be 5ft7 ıf he wears 1inch lifts in his socks 5cm heeled cowboy boots and 3inch internal lifts = 5FT7 sly appeared 5ft11 in 1980s.. Thats the only possibility that comes into my mind. But I only had one confusion Frankie how Sly could able to run in movies or jumped , punched , kicked you know that movements ? Can you explain how a person can run with 6inch elevator shoes ? I am not offensing you are a nice member of the site but nearly most of us wonders you to explain your 5ft7 claim with logic ? Also last summer you dropped your claim to 5ft6.75 range. Of course Sly is getting older everyday ıt can be also guesseble...

7-8 inches? That's insane. Trust me, you don't want to buy/order elevator shoes that thick. You'll be tripping over after every 10 steps, not to mention it'll be very noticeable, it'll look like this Click Here (and even this is only 5 inches). I would stick to 3 inches at the most.

Probably not very tall.Very good look and very good actor,one of the principal stars of action movies.Sly is the proof there is not necessity to be 5"11' to be very charismatic ,when i look at him in a movie or in a interview i forget to ask me what is your height,he's a giant!

Sly USE to wear lifts all the time. He rarely does now outside of movies. I almost only post photos with their whole bodies visible or video with rare exceptions and he consistently looked around 5'9" in normal dress shoes with no bulge during the first 2 Expendables promo appearances and at times, we even saw his ankle position, which was normal. Still looking 5'8.5" minimum or taller during Expendables 3 promo. Arnold was comfortably over 6' in his prime. 6'1.75" with an evening height of 6'1.5" and he could look it still into the 90s with 6'1" Tom Arnold, 5'11.5" Willis and 5'10.5" Clooney. It's not logical to believe Sly is under 5'8" if he never looks under it in a decent full body shot photo.

Those are cowboy boots with Arnold. You can find many pairs that look just like it, the heel would typically give about 1.75". Of course Sly could very likely have lifts in them, but to see a pair of regular cowboy boots and assume they give about 4" is why we're unlikely to have an informed discussion on footwear here. Take the lifts Sly wore at premieres for instance. His Hogan sneakers with lifts gave him less than 3". There are much bigger lifts out there. Look at John Malkovich in Of Mice and Men or even Gary Sinise on CSI NY. Sly has worn bigger in some film roles, but only occasionally on promo appearances. One was that German talk show for the last Rambo with the 192 cm host when Sly looked like a 6 footer! As for Cobra, Sly had to fit those lifts in normal looking motorcycle boots, there are close ups of them in the film and I highly doubt they're 4 inches. Trust me, I'm one of the few people who loves Cobra, I should know! Pierre, I can't speak for Dale's height, but Rob believes he's 6'2" so I'll trust Rob. Rob says in person Dolph is half an inch to an inch taller, which would currently put Dolph at 189-190 cm, which is exactly what I think Dolph is these days.

Thanks leo2001 ,, Sly on his elevators & arnold still clearly way taller ,,so if arnold is around 6' ,, how tall is sly on those boots ,, and than tell me how tall he would be next to arnie if he took those elevators off ,, plus arnold is in very average looking sneakers ,, its just logical to believe sly is under 5'8 without those boots cause he only looks maybe 5'10 in those boots !!

Sly moved around in cobra pretty well on munsters !! He runs around in rambo in massive boots !! He ran around in over the top on massive boots !! He danced on stage in rhinestone pretty good on massive lifts ! Hes fought in the ring on weged up boxing shoes !! I think i made my point ! I also never claim he wears 6-7 inch shoes !! But he does wear 3-4 inch plus ,,particually back in the day ! Ive always put him at 5'7 cause of his footwear of past & present ,,for example ,, sly & carl weathers in the rocky movies always looked 2-3 inches apart ,, but when you recently saw them at a golden globe event the height difference was very noticable ,,(and its not an age thing or sly losing height) cause theres a video of Carl & Sly practicing the fight for rocky in the 70's & carl is towering over sly .. everyone has there opinions here & so do i ,, and my belief is he is shorter than expected not taller !!!

It's true Dolph looks shorter with Rob, but look at Dolph with Rob's 6'2" friend when he stands straight: Click Here Dolph doesn't look under 190 cm there and can still look 6'3", but I'm fine with 190 and can't really argue with a strong 189 either, but you have to be aware of putting too much stock into one photo. A tall man like Dolph can lose quite a bit slouching. And correct, Danimal. Brigitte has claimed 6'1" many times as well. I'd bet she's somewhere around 184 cm. You can't always assume with very tall women that they're always no taller than they're lowest claim.

Rob prooved millions of times that the most a person get with elevator shoes is 10cm. So If a person wears that 5inch ones If he is 170cm he can mostly measure 180cm in stadiometer. And just try to walk with that 5inch monsters, just try to run with them , just try to wear them in action movies... SO 5FT7 İS NO SENSE.. Just try to walk with that dons 5inch monsters you will look like a red army commander stalin. I just want all of my friends in this forum to think logically. There is no way you walk normally with these 5inch shoes that gives 10cm.. And one more point yes they give 10cm but every person has at least 2 cm shoes. So please stop this 5ft7 or 5ft10 thing.
Click Here just try to walk with 10cm shoes for 30 minutes then get foot damage.. yet try to wear these in an action movie.

Now the 5ft7 supporters biggest thing the burt young photo : Now I will explain Sly has 1cm converse yet slouching 3cm easily. Burt young has 4cm portman shoes and standing very straight adding himself 1cm with his millitary posture. What these means : This photo giving burt young 6cm of advantage and making him same as Sly.. Lets be very pessimistic Sly will be still at least 1.74 cm at his peak.. OR JUST MAKE A VİDEO AND MAKE A 170CM MAN PULL OF 6FT .. And please make him run without falling ... And look again when G weared his portmans and and Rob weard flats ROB STİLL LOOKED TALLER THAN G... Please these elevators wont make a 5ft6 man 5ft11.. Please understand that truth..

Dolph loses height slouching and he's shrunk noticeably since even the first 2 Expendables when he was still around 191 cm, possibly still near 192, while Dolph is now 190 cm max, possibly 189. Here's Sly with Dolph standing better than he did in Rob's picture: Click Here Sly's shoes look as normal as Dolph's do there and Sly looks at least 5'9". And 2 years later, Dolph is still at least a solid 6'3" and not leaning like Rob's pic: Click Here You can find the Prada shoes Sly has on there on the internet. To confirm Dolph's height at this time, here he is with 6'4" David Hasselhoff after the Expendables 2 premiere: Click Here Click Here Sly was still 174-175 2010-2012 and not less than 173 now. Still 174 during the Expendables 3 release in 2014.

1.5" is laughable...his boots are wedged custom. He catches 3"+ easy. The '75 Rocky filming heeled whoppers or Rambo boots are monsters. Look at the things he danced with Ali onstage with in '76 when the custom pants revealed the huge heels. Weak 5' 8" in '17.

Pierre, I thought Sly's boots looked like they added maybe 1.5", but no more. Woody might have 0.75" sneakers. Either way, Sly would still have to be around 5'9" there considering. Rob is 100% right, still 5'8" minimum and 5'8.5" max nowadays. He was still at least 5'8.5" in 2014 and peak was exactly as Brigitte Nielsen said - 174-175 cm. Just as Rob has Eddie Murphy spot on at 176 cm right in between Brigitte Nielsen's guess, 5'8.75" or a weak 5'9" peak is the best guess for Sly, though with his lifts, he looked taller than Murphy in the 80's: Click Here To show no less than 174 cm peak, with James Caan who was about 5'9" at 63 and Mark Wahlberg who could be a flat 5'8" or 5'7.5" minimum, all 3 in golf shoes: Click Here Click Here Stallone couldn't put big enough lifts in golf shoes to argue that he wasn't taller than Wahlberg. Of course you'd have to be blind to think Sly was no taller than Wahlberg in the first place. A 58 year old Sly was taller in golf shoes than a 60 year old Michael Douglas: Click Here Both were near 5'9" peak and got elevators from the same shoemaker, but Douglas has shrunk more and I think stopped wearing lifts earlier than Sly did.
Pierre, I thought Sly's boots looked like they added maybe 1.5", but no more. Woody might have 0.75" sneakers. Either way, Sly would still have to be around 5'9" there considering. Rob is 100% right, still 5'8" minimum and 5'8.5" max nowadays. He was still at least 5'8.5" in 2014 and peak was exactly as Brigitte Nielsen said - 174-175 cm.

Woody Allen/Sylvester Stallone= look at Sylvester's shoes at ~ 0"33'=Cow-boy's boots.Sylvester has more than 1 cm advantageous shoes compared to Woody allen who is in flat sneakers=at 0"23'=about 0.75 inch max imo.Sylvester has at least 1.25 inch more than Woody here imo.

Correct about Cop Land, he didn't look taller than 5'9" in it, imo. As for Nighthawks, Billy easily looked taller in the club scene when they're looking for Hauer and at about 5'11" peak, Billy was at least a couple inches taller than Sly, but they actually looked similar in a couple of scenes too. One was walking through the door to see Lindsay Wagner's character and another was when one of the 2 kicks a car. As for Kojak, Telly wore 2" heeled boots with lifts, presumably to look his claimed 6'1", so we're not comparing Sly to a 5'10" or 5'11" Telly. Plus, the one scene they're face to face when Sly's character is cleared of a shooting, Telly is noticeably closer to the camera making his head look abnormally large. The only other scene I can think of is when one walks by the other standing near a door in the station and the difference didn't seem like much, but comparisons with one standing and the other walking aren't good. 5'8.5" minimum and 5'9" max makes the most sense for peak though and likely a half inch shorter today. As for the 5'7" nonsense, here's a young unknown 25 year old Sly and Woody Allen: Click Here Sly has around 1 cm footwear advantage, but he literally towers over Woody and is looking right over his head. The idea that Sly is only 2" shorter is idiotic.

There are three movies which reveal Stallone's true height and prove that his estimated stature of 5'10" is a dummy. His cameo appearance in the Kojak show with Telly Savalas, who at 5'11" was noticeably taller than Stallone by some two inches, the movie Nighthawks in which Stallone's co-star Billy Dee Williams who at 5'11", was still marginally taller than him despite Stallone's wearing of cuban heels and Copland, where we see Ray Liotta who at just 6', towered Stallone by some three inches. Taking into account Stallone was probably wearing lifts in all of those movies, his estimated height of 5'10" simply does not read true and he could be as short as 5'8", minus footwear..

Here De Niro looks between Danimal's 169-170 cm range estimate if Efron is 5'8": Click Here let's say a weak 5'7" or 5'6.75", but that's before considering De Niro is dropping a bit more height in posture and I'm not sure he has them, but looking at the back of his shoe and angle, Efron could have a half inch or inch lift. Efron also often looks taller than he use to. I think it's because he became more height conscious, but it's also possible he grew a bit after age 19. Either way, 6'1" Barry Bonds use to tower over him more Click Here than 6'2.5" Rock does today: Click Here Even if Efron is standing only 5'8" there, De Niro could still be a 171 cm man who is dropping 1 cm or so in posture. But 5'7" flat is also possible for De Niro today, but unlikely several years back in the pic with Stallone and even if he was, Sly would still look 5'8.5" there, which is all I'm arguing he was in 2014 and more likely 5'8.25", possibly even 5'8" flat today at his low, but no less. He still constantly looks at least that tall in full shots and video.

@ Harris - Yes, it isn't very nice that some people find it necessary to belittle the successful among us.
Sylvester was on the TV late last week in 2 separate films, and though I was busying myself with the TV on in the background, I couldn't help but notice what a fine physique he had well into middle age. Yesterday's film was from 1999 and called 'Universal Soldier: The Return'.
This time round, Sylvester can have an estimate of 5ft9.5 for his peak and 5ft8.5 for his height as he stands now. He looks after himself, so I don't think he's shrunk much.

If De Niro were 5'6", he'd often look even shorter than that with his old man posture. I don't think the difference with Efron was that big when De Niro's posture was decent. Even of De Niro was only 5'7" flat for Grudge Match then Sly still looked 5'8.5" there, which I think is more accurate though I don't think De Niro was act that short yet. As for Statham, he's probably 5'8.5" and can look a bit shorter because he slouches a lot as well.

Hulk Hogan also said Sly was 5'8" in his book, which is much more realistic, but Sly and Hulk were a good 8.5 or 9 inches apart in their prime, nearly a head, so not in a position to tell how tall they were exactly. As for Goldman, it could be confirmation bias, he thought it was "delicious"(his word, certainly not mine!) hearing Sly was 5'7" and set out to "prove it."

I think De Niro was around 5'8" prime and wore lifts a lot and now he is 5'6". See him with Zac Efron, he doesn't look only .75" shorter, he looks 2.5" shorter due to poor posture. 5 years ago he still managed to look about 5'7" and that was evident in the movie with Statham and Owen. And by the way, that's another evidence of Statham not being over 5'8" especially when looking at premier photos with Clive Owen.

Danimal, I'd agree that 5'7" is possible for De Niro today in 2017 at 73 years old, but Grudge Match came out when De Niro was exactly 70, you can lose noticeable height in 3 years at that age. You know the average shown by that survey better than anyone for 70 year Olds was 1.25". I'm not exactly sure how tall De Niro was peak, certainly not over 5'9", but let's say he was 5'9", even if he lost a bit more than average, he'd be the 5'7.5" I gave him in that photo with Stallone. As for De Niro's height 3+ years later, I'll have to look at him more, all I can say is old man posture can make you look about an inch shorter.
I normally subtract 1.2"/2" for a 70/80 year old man and 2"/3.25" for a 70/80 year old woman, but in De Niro's case, he appears to have lost more than the average. Look at Arnold. Imo, he's lost a full 3" since his prime and he's 4 years younger than Bobby D.

If Stallone was really 5'9" peak, or close to it at least, then why did William Goldman state that Stallone was only 5'7"? Could it have been Sly's posture? What's even stranger is I also remember reading him at 5'7" and 195 lbs in a magazine back in the late 80's - which certainly surprised me at the time, and not to forget Hogan even put Sly at 5'6"-5'7"!
Rob, what would you say is the most probable reason they'd guess him that low? I must admit, his posture just seems too great and authoritative to have played a part in that...

It'd be hard to find men's shoes that add anything less than 1 inch to your height, Arthur! Do you mean an extra 1 inch internal lift, rather than just heel & sole? Most dress shoes or boots will give a 1-1.5 boost anyway.

I thought I was a Sly fan, but Loop has me beat as I must confess, I wouldn't recognize Sly's back in a back lineup. Although the 2 photos Arthur posted aren't good for comparing height as Sly is farther from the camera with Gazarra and close with Brigitte + they're walking, I have to agree with his post 100%. There is 1 good scene for comparing Sly to Gazarra when they're face to face. They have hats on in the scene, but based on their eye level, Sly was between 1" and 1.5" shorter. He could look similar to Brigitte who mostly had flat footwear in Cobra while Sly wore biker boots with about a 1.5" heel that we can be 99% sure had lifts inside. I've suspected for a while that Brigitte told us exactly how tall Sly was since she didn't seem bitter in that 2003 video and her Eddie Murphy guess shows she has a good perception of height and nobody was in a better position to know how tall Sly was than Brigitte. If we go in between her range, we get 174.5 cm, which would be near 5'8.75", which seems most likely, even the high at 175 cm would truly be a weak 5'9" while 174 cm or exactly 5'8.5" could have been his lowest. Now at age 70, I think he could have dropped to a strong 173 cm range the last couple of years and might measure 5'8" or 5'8.25" depending on whether it's midday or evening.

I am so proud of the generall average guess statistic in here. But I was amazed even though there are lots of people saying still saying 5ft10 and 5ft7 guesses for Sly but the average guess is a victory for this site.. 175.1 CM PEAK 173 CM NOW Straight to the point and same as my guess.. I think Sly still doesnt drop to 172.7 cm or that low still in 2017. I think the worst he can drop is around 1.72.9cm - 173.2 cm range . And I am sure he still can manages to measure 175cm after 12 hours of sleep. So 174cm listing is the best for him.. And keep in mind maybe he doesnt wear lifts like past but he never wears flats thats also the fact. So his normal shoes are already thick liftless.. He never wears anything lower than 1inch. So there is no way he can be seen under 5ft8.25 in his daily life. Also I recently looked his beverly hills daily life photos he still seems to pull of a cool 5ft9 in this videos. And some people here saying Sly vs Cruise İn my opinion Sly will still win. There is a photo that statham and cruise stands face to face and Statham looks clearly 1inch taller. And taking into account that Sly never appears shorter than statham even without his lifts. Same as cruise is a joke.
Those saying 5ft7 peak : Click Here Stallone must be wearing 8 inches platforms then ...
Those saying 5ft10 peak : Click Here Glenn How was your mathematics in high school ? DD or FD ? There is no other choice. I think you managed to past this lesson by buying your teacher a pair of Miracle growth elixir or 6inch eleavtor shoes .))) Or a cool volvo ...

And I am sure he still can manages to measure 175cm after 12 hours of sleep. So 174cm listing is the best for him.. And keep in mind maybe he doesnt wear lifts like past but he never wears flats thats also the fact. So his normal shoes are already thick liftless.. He never wears anything lower than 1inch. So there is no way he can be seen under 5ft8.25 in his daily life. Also I recently looked his beverly hills daily life photos he still seems to pull of a cool 5ft9 in this videos. And some people here saying Sly vs Cruise İn my opinion Sly will still win. There is a photo that statham and cruise stands face to face and Statham looks clearly 1inch taller. And taking into account that Sly never appears shorter than statham even without his lifts. Same as cruise is a joke.
Those saying 5ft7 peak : Click Here Stallone must be wearing 8 inches platforms then ...
Those saying 5ft10 peak : Click Here Glenn How was your mathematics in high school ? DD or FD ? There is no other choice. I think you managed to past this lesson by buying your teacher a pair of Miracle growth elixir or 6inch eleavtor shoes .))) Or a cool volvo ...

He could have lifts with Arnold and Rousey, sure, but we're talking about something absolutely no bigger than a one inch lift for his shoes to look basically the same as Arnold's with no bulge. In fact, they look completely flat.

I think the problem is some are suggesting he only manages to look just 5'9" in his biggest lifts, which isn't true. From 2 1/2 years ago: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Sly is in dress shoes and looks nearly as tall as Schwarzenegger and much taller than 5'5" Ronda Rousey who is in heels.
I think not only is Sly wearing some mighty high shoes there but he's also got arm extensions to match, and forgot to pick out a jacket to cover them. :-)

Sly has lifts in The Expendables pic with Davi, but then he looks 5'11". In the pic with Shannon and Davi, Sly has modest shoes, but is still much taller than 5'7".

Jordan too: Click Here Sly might have a slight camera edge but then Jordan's dress boots are bigger than Sly's flatter dress shoes as well.

Sly usually only wears lifts in movies in recent years, but when he does, he can still look pretty tall. Looks nearly as tall as Robert Davi in costume: Click Here Rob met Davi around this same time and gave him 6'0.75" and Rob also said he drops about an inch in posture when standing so consider him a 182 cm guy there. At worst, Sly could still pass for near 5'11" with his Expendables boots in that photo. Now Sly without the boots with Davi: Click Here Davi is slouching, though positioned closer to the camera, but now look at a slouching Davi with an actual 5'7" guy Stephen Dorff: Click Here Click Here Actually, Rob gives Dorff 171 cm, I don't know if he is or if he's 5'7" flat, but clearly Sly is easily taller than Dorph. He's not 5'7". Btw, these were Sly's shoes that night: Click Here Flat with no bulge.

Danimal, I'd agree that 5'7" is possible for De Niro today in 2017 at 73 years old, but Grudge Match came out when De Niro was exactly 70, you can lose noticeable height in 3 years at that age. You know the average shown by that survey better than anyone for 70 year Olds was 1.25". I'm not exactly sure how tall De Niro was peak, certainly not over 5'9", but let's say he was 5'9", even if he lost a bit more than average, he'd be the 5'7.5" I gave him in that photo with Stallone. As for De Niro's height 3+ years later, I'll have to look at him more, all I can say is old man posture can make you look about an inch shorter.

GP, well Sly looks 181 cm there with Leonard in sneakers and lifts with his posture so I wouldn't doubt some camera advantage, but he looks about 5'11" in those same shoes other full body shots with Randy Couture. No picture is perfect, but I think those are pretty solid ones. As for Cop Land, Sly doesn't look over 5'9" in that with his weight, normal footwear and posture playing a drunk, which makes sense as I now believe 5'9" was his max peak, but likely a fraction under. I've seen the movie a number of times since it's quite a good film, but I don't remember them standing close for a good comparison in that scene. However there is the scene in the beginning where Liotta helps Sly to his car with Sly in flip flops that give almost no height and Liotta in some kind of thinner regular shoe (too dark to tell) and posture makes it impossible to tell exactly, but the difference there is 3" max since when Sly's head is up, it certainly comes above Liotta's eye brows. If Liotta was 5'11.5", and I doubt he was under that since he could look 6 feet, then Sly was 5'8.5" minimum, likely a bit taller considering footwear. As for Tango and Cash, a double used for the one scene is possible, we can't know either way, though usually they get doubles VERY close to the actor's height so not to mess up the frame. As for the shower scene, Sly CAN look taller, but you could argue that's because of Kurt's physical acting moving his height a lot. In any case, Sly definitely doesn't look shorter there. We can't see their feet so it's inconclusive, though I personally doubt Sly would wear shoes in the shower or stand on a box with another actor no more than 5'9". In any event, the scene I'm talking about is from 1:37-1:42 here: Click Here Full body shot showing Sly looking noticeably taller than Kurt. I'm sure he does have lifts, but that's my point, when Sly has lifts, he's easily taller than Kurt. I believe they were about the same height barefoot with a possibility that Kurt was maybe 1/4" taller, but they were clearly similar range.

@RisingForce, photo with Sugar Ray, notice the bottom and it's very obvious that camera was totally tilted towards Sly making him taller than he is.
Regarding Tango & Cash, the scene them walking into the shower, it's most likely not them. They use doubles in movies all the time. Just a simple math, Russell in cowboys and Stallone in chunky heel plus lifts only managed to be the same height. The outcome is if Stallone was 5'9" then about 2" heel plus lifts would put him easily at 6" and he never reached that. That 5'10.5"-5'10.75" claim is with 2" heel plus lifts.
Here is another one for you. Watch Cop Land and half way through the movie where there is a scene that Liotta and Stallone are running after Rappaport who goes into the woods,for few seconds you can see that Stallone is 4" shorter than Liotta.

I truly don't see De Niro much over 5'6.5"-5'7" today at 73 years old. He's lost a lot of height in recent years. The last time he looked tallish was the mid 90's in movies like Casino and Heat.

It is strange Kurt looked taller than Mel, but then again, Sly looked taller than Kurt, apparently even barefoot and Sly (presumably in lifts) looked a lot taller than Kurt in one wide shot walking to their prison cells in Tango and Cash. I think the 2 men were about the same height, a weak 5'9", possibly slightly under so 174-175 cm range while I can't see Mel any less than 5'9" and 5'9.5" does look a good guess to me, but no more. I think 176 cm like Eddie Murphy is very likely for Mel. As for Woody, I don't want to go into his height too much on Sly's page, his posture us often terrible so I think you can argue anywhere from 5'9" to 5'10", but I don't think he's any shorter than Colin Farrell.

GP, I don't know about an inch in posture, I think Sly's chest out squeezes out about half an inch. A 59 year old Sugar Ray still edged out Rob with much worse posture than he has there so he's at least standing close to 5'9". Of course he has lifts, those are the same shoes he had on in the 2010 photo I posted below where he looks Randy Couture's height, but those Hogan sneakers even with the huge lifts Sly put in them only add 2.5", maybe 2.75" compared to Leonard's normal 1" shoes, similar to Downey's elevator sneakers. You need a boot for the solid 3 or 4 inch boost. I think they're similar in height. We can safely narrow down Sugar Ray's peak height to 5'8.75"-5'9" while I'd say Sly was at least 5'8.5", but no more than 5'9" so I think there's at least a chance Sly was 1/4" or 1/2" shorter, but absolutely no more. The photo adds up with how Sly looked in the same footwear below with Couture and since I'd estimate a 1.5" footwear advantage and 0.5" posture advantage, it makes sense Sly looks 2"+ taller, perhaps the angle makes up the rest of the difference and he was slightly shorter, I don't know, I'm only arguing Sly was 5'8.5" minimum peak.

@RisingForce, Woody looked nothing more than 5'9" with McConaughey in EDtv and Matt was in converse. Regarding the photo with Sugar, being here for a while you know that Sly definitely has an inch advantage only by posture, the camera is totally on Sly's side making him look even taller and then you take into account the shoes and 99 % lifts in them and I bet you take all that out and Sly will be shorter than him. And you can't just base your judgement on movies. I will assure you that camera angles will do the trick. Gibson looked shorter than Kurt Russell in Tequila Sunrise, I know for a fact that Russell is a legit 5'9".

GP, I believe you met them, but I don't believe they're as short as you estimate them to be. Arnold is a whole separate debate himself. As for Gibson, he may very well wear lifts, but I don't believe that he's less than a solid 5'9" peak, probably 176 cm, he still looked taller than Richard Gere without boots. I also can't buy Snipes less than 5'8". If Woody Harrelson really is just 5'9" then you can make a case for a 5'8" Snipes, but Snipes looked at least as tall as Jamie Foxx who many think is taller than his own 5'9" claim (although I'm not one of them) I believe Snipes to be around 5'9" or 5'8.5" at worse.

I'm basing my statements on the fact that I have met Snipes, Gibson, Arnold. Snipes is about 172-173cm and he doesn't try to hide it since he was wearing Converse when I met him. Gibson is little trickier since he likes to wear cowboy boots and nowadays it appears that he is using lifts as it shows in photos with Garfield, but he is around 5'8" based on the fact when I met him. Arnold is 179 from seeing him in the gym couple months ago. So you make the calculations

Very silly claim BTW that Rob is inflating Weathers to avoid downgrading Sly. If Rob thought Sly was 5'7" he'd say so. He keeps Weathers 6'1" because he's met him multiple times and still thinks he's near 6'1".

GP, the weak 6'1" for Weathers current comes from Rob. I believe Weathers could have been 186 cm and have lost a half inch. De Niro might look 5'6" range hunched, but he's at least 5'7" range with decent posture, as he has there with Sly, which was also a few years ago now. Efron is also a guy who has lifts written all over him. You're assuming Sly still has small lifts, which can't be proven. If he is 5'7" then basically the whole Expendables 3 cast was as well with Banderas only in the 5'6" range. What does the reason Sly stopped wearing lifts have to do with anything? Whatever the reason, Sly still looks a solid 5'8" in normal shoes and 5'8.5"-5'9" up until Creed.
GP, the weak 6'1" for Weathers current comes from Rob. I believe Weathers could have been 186 cm and have lost a half inch. De Niro might look 5'6" range hunched, but he's at least 5'7" range with decent posture, as he has there with Sly, which was also a few years ago now.

He doesn't have lifts in all of them. My point is he doesn't look only 5'8-9 when he does have lifts. He only looks 1-1.5" shorter than Arnold with the cowboy boots, they'd need to be 4-4.5" for him to be 5'7". He consistently looked about 5'9" when he wore normal shoes until the last couple of years and now closer to 5'8". Your mathematically impossible comment makes no sense. You're acting as though it's a proven fact his elevators were always 4.5" or 5" and his dress shoes were 3", both of which actually are physically impossible.

RisingForce are you saying that Weathers at 68 hasn't lost height? That's absurd. I see him in the gym a lot, he is 6" nowadays. Most likely the only reason he is listed at 6'1" because if he is downgraded then Stallone would have to be dropped to 5'7" and bunch others. And the only reason that Stallone goes liftless nowadays is cause most likely he has developed some arthritis from wearing monster lifts for 30 years and now it is very painful in heels when you have arthritis. It is hard to believe, and I still will suspect that he is using smaller lifts these days compared to his regular 3" lifts from before.
Additionally you chose to believe that De Niro is 171 but he looked about 2" shorter than 5'8" Zac Efron. De Niro is 5'6" nowadays with a poor posture.

@rising force in all the pics u show sly has lifts on so your point is mute ! Particularly the pics you show of him & arnold were you say arnold is 5'11 1/2 .. he is still a few inches taller than sly & sly is wearing cowboy boots with lifts for sure !! So i dont see 5'8 or 5'9 ,, thats nonsense & mathematically impossible . Where all entitled to our opinions whether they agree or dis agree with you .

Weathers is still close to 6'1" today in his late 60s as confirmed by Rob on multiple occasions so he could have easily been 186 cm in the 70's. Sly typically didn't look more than 4" shorter, sometimes 3". Before you automatically say lifts, I have to repost this: Click Here at 0:27 you see Sly in slippers and Weathers in sneakers. Weathers is slouching and Sly has big hair but that's not anywhere near a 6 inch height difference. Here's what Sly looked like at his peak with big lifts with Weathers in 2003: Click Here Sly had those Hogan shoes he use to wear that night. He could be as short as 5'8" flat today, but 5'7" peak is ridiculous.

Gibson isn't 2" taller than Stallone. Even during the first 2 Expendables, Sly regularly looked 175-176 cm in completely normal dress shoes. When he returned to his Hogan shoes, he could still look near 5'11", such as here with 5'11.5" Randy Couture in 2010: Click Here Click Here And with cowboy boots, he could still look at least 5'10" with Arnold who was 5'11.5" back in 2013: Click Here Click Here 5'7" is nonsense, especially for peak. At least 174-175 cm peak. And at least 5'8.5" until 2015.

And im sure Sly had some juice in his shoes (as always) .. its was very noticable how short he looked compared to the movies they done together ,which rings true all of the speculation about sly's height & obsession with camera angles !! Even if people here choose to claim THAT night Sly FORGOT his lifts ,, I dont see 5'8 or 5'9 in that pic where there is a very fair camera shot of BOTH of them standing side by side !!

I'm saying that we've seen enough of Sly and Mel together to know that there's not a big difference between the two. If Mel has big footwear and Sly has normal shoes then I'm sure the difference could look near 2 inches, or even the right angle. Here, Sly was taller: Click Here Here, Mel was taller: Click Here And Sly taller again: Click Here Now, Mel is taller again: Click Here Here's video of the event you seem to be making such a fuss about, Gibson appears around 1:17: Click Here The angle favors Sly and you can see at one point Mel is taller, but this isn't a 3 inch difference, or even 2. I'm sure you're probably referring to a picture like this: Click Here but then there's one like this as well: Click Here I could go on like this from different events. That's why I said it's silly to read too much into a single photo. What fits best is Sly going from a weak 5'9" peak to a solid 5'8" and Mel always around 5'9", perhaps from a solid one peak to a weak one now.

Johnson, he was certainly still taller than Banderas as of the Expendables 3 back in 2013/2014 considering both the promo appearances and the film, but if Banderas was ever taller, he was no taller than 5'8" by that time while I bet Sly was still at least 5'8.5". Either Banderas had lost half an inch by age 53-54, which is not unusual, or he was never taller than 5'8", which is also believeable considering Tom Hanks was much taller than him in Philadelphia.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an under 5'8" peak guess from me, better chance of 5'10"! Sly looked noticeably taller than Rob did with 5'9.75"-5'10" Mike Tyson a few years back: Click Here and Rob agreed Sly's dress shoes looked normal. You can find video of the event on youtube, which shows roughly that difference of Sly about an inch shorter, which adds up.

You're right, though. My old position was way off. I had relied too much on Glenn's estimate and what the pic he said Sly was wearing sandals for then focused too much on evidence that supported that, but the vast majority of evidence supports my current estimate of 5'8.75" peak and 5'8.25" current and some would say the peak is slightly conservative. In fact, I find it funny that technically I'm now arguing Sly was shorter than Rob is. Granted it's only a quarter inch, but nobody would have thought that would happen some 7 or 8 years ago!

GP, I said I believe Gibson is a bit taller. The photo is just an example of how they're close enough that you can find photos where either of them look taller. Video of the same event shows they looked similar in height that night. There's no reason to believe Sly is on his toes since they weren't posing for a pic. I now believe Sly was 5'8.5"-5'9", which is exactly what Brigitte Nielsen said and she was both in a position to know and had no reason to lie some 2 decades years after their divorce. When they were married, she lied and said he was 5'10.5" barefoot. As for Gibson, I believe he is or was a solid 5'9" and today could possibly have shrunk slightly to a weak 5'9", which is what I think Sly was until his mid 60s, while he now looks closer to 5'8" to me the last 2 years, or a fraction over, perhaps literally a hair taller than Rob is.

Off course Rising will pick the one photo without the ground showing to claim that Stallone doesn't look shorter. I remember the days that Rising was a backer of Glenn's 5'10" claim for Stallone. I gotta say though that it's an improvement to see that you think he was 5'8.5"-5'9". Maybe few more years then he will be at under 5'8". Oh wait but then everyone will claim that he has shrunk, lol. I have met Gibson and he isn't over 5'8", maybe 5'8.5". He always loved his cowboy boots and still does, but lately he is resorting to lifts. Stallone has always been the king of lifts, which was always impressive to me how managed to fool so many and even run in them in the movies. Take them off and these action stars will never reach 5'9".

Frankie, you're being very silly with this stuff. Sly isn't much shorter than Gibson. He could look both a bit shorter than Gibson or a bit taller, such as Cannes 2014 with dress shoes: Click Here Sly was at least 5'8.5"-5'9" peak and still at least 5'8"-5'8.5" today. There isn't the evidence to support under 5'8". Gibson is at least 5'9" himself, possibly 5'9.5" and can easily look about 5'10" in cowboy boots, such as with Tom Hardy. I'm sure Gibson is slightly taller than Sly, but not much. Only a half an inch to an inch.

No way Sly was ever 5'10. He always wanted to be, no doubt about that. He rounded himself up (way up) to this height time and time again, which is what made his height such a laughing matter - because he obviously wasn't - and made his reputation even worse.

As I said, I now believe Sly to have been a weak 5'9" or about 5'8.75", but it's still very easy for me to see why people think he was a solid 5'9". He regularly looked 5'10.5"-5'11" in lifts, not all of them 3+ inches according to Rob and there are instances where he could strangely look about 5'10" even without big shoes. Here's a photo of a 67 year old Sly in barefeet Click Here His wife has been put at 5'9" and 5'9.5", but let's use the low figure to be conservative. Both their heads are down, but compare Sly's frame, even his legs to his wife and he doesn't look short there. The lowest I can see him there in 2013 is 5'8.5", which I do still believe was accurate as recent as 2013.

I don't understand how anybody thinks that he is 5'9" or even worse like some claim above that mark. He always had 2-3" stuffed in his boots and the most he managed to look is close to 5'11" and that's counting his impeccable posture. I think the biggest lifts he wore were in Cobra since Nielsen was 6". He still barely hit 5'11" and that was visible next to Reni Santoni, who was 6" but had looser posture. All of the evidence leads to under 59" in his prime. Don't be fooled by lifts and camera angles.

No contradiction. I said factoring in everything, which includes shorter appearances such as when he looked no more than a weak 5'9" with 5'10" Ben Gazzara. I agree there are the times he looks surprisingly tall, even without footwear to explain it, but he could look shorter too, especially early in his career or in Cop Land, where he didn't look above 5'9".

In the first Rocky, he's barely any shorter in boxing shoes than Joe Frazier is in heels, almost eye to eye, but with that said factoring in everything, I have to amend my guess to 5'8.75" peak and 5'8.25" now to be precise. I think it makes the most sense for all the shorter and taller appearances. Give him 3 inch elevators + perfect posture and you have the 5'11" illusion he sometimes created. Plus, this aligns with Brigitte Nielsen's 174-175 cm guess.
You are basically contradicting yourself. An under 5'9" guy could not look as tall as Sly did next to Frazier.

@Rob, his hand mold at the Hard Rock is humongous. So is Wesley Snipes!
Regarding their arm lengths relative to their height, would you say they both have unusually long arms?
Which would help making them look taller on screen...
If a guy with T-Rex arms lifted, wouldn't it be plainly obvious?

Editor Rob Wrs, Sly is winding down the elevators over the last few years...Downey is still using them, so today Robert would win, but if he faced off with a 1980's sly with cowboy elevators, he'd surely be trounced.

Editor Rob if Sly ever wore Nearly 4 inch, I'd congratulate him, because trying to walk about in public in real monsters is bloody hard.
In some films it might be workable, but out and about running away from autograph trolls, man, that would be hard.
I think a solid 3 inches he'd have got on some occasions, maybe 3.5 at the most with a cowboy+internal lift, similar to what Burt Reynolds probably got at his peak, so as to pull off looking 6ft 1 at times.

His hair itsn't adding much with Hogan , Even If Hogan was just 6'3 there , no way is Sly looking under 5'11.5 and his footwear wasn't even that crazy , just a little bulk to it , 1.5 if that , so even in lifts we could still get at least a 5'9 and change Sly there.

There's no saying Carl Weathers isn't wearing some mighty footwear/lifts himself. That guy is pretty cocky and wouldn't pass up a chance to make himself look even better. But what could have been a battle (of footwear) to rival anything they ever did on screen turned out to have a very clear winner in this case.

I honestly don't think he's lost that much height. I think he might just have given up trying to conceal his real height as hard as he used to. My guess is he was just over 5'09.00" at his peak and is probably just under the 69 inch mark these days.

There's a lot more than "facials, pampering, even makeup" going on with Stallone. The guy's face gets higher and his hairline gets lower with every passing year, contrary to the natural order.

Still having mostly dark hair whether natural or at least a decent dye job gives the illusion of looking younger outside of surgery. With that said, HGH/testosterone or not, Sly has always been in genuinely impressive shape for his age, and that's what's more surprising. Many others have retained a more youthful appearance facially, but few have physically. That's probably why he only now seems to be shrinking a bit these last few years post-Expendables 2, along with maintaining great posture, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's made a conscious effort to try to avoid height loss. He was looking about 5'8" or a hair over at the Creed premiere, but typically still looks 5'8.5"-5'9" to me in most comparisons. I'm more sold on 5'8.75"-5'9" peak than current, but anywhere between 5'8" and 5'9" current is my guess.

Editor Rob Sly is fighting every day to not be 5ft 8...I can picture him increasing the time spent on the hang-bar and having each of his daughters pull his arms and legs each day...

Editor Rob when you are famous and image/looks is part of your job, you do end up spending a lot more than your average bloke.
Many of these actors get facials, pampering, even makeup.

Demi Lovato is 5'3.5 And Sly looks 5 inches taller than her! So Rob estimation is right.

Internsting video that Chris175 posted. The girl is Demi Lovato who Rob has at 5.2.5. Interesting. That would not put Sly over 5.8.5 imo. Here is the link:

There is something to that 5'11" impression. When I was younger I heard many people referring to him as 180 cm.
A friend of my father met him in person however and described him as 5'9" - 175cm. This was back in 1992.
My father didn't believe him but seems he was right after all.
He still looks to be holding 5'8" but just barely and with perfect posture.

Bernie there is only one explanation to your question. These people who are see him in real life are lying and I am pretty sure they have never seen Sly in real life. Sly has a photo with 5ft6.5 glenn this photo explains everything. And I have said millions of times I have met Sly and Eddie Murphy in hualai kaupeluhu hotel in los angeles. I also said several times both looked only 0.5cm 1cm taller than me barefeet. I am around 173.3 -1.73.6 cm in the middle of the day. Rob has the right to not to post this. I am only speaking with my heart my justice my respect to this wonderfull site. Sly has a good body veins everywhere but he is not a big guy. He is extremely fit but there is one truth the hollywood media making his 36 cm arms to 43 cm in films. And making him 165 lbs weight to 190 lbs heavyweight boxer range. If you still want to believe this 5ft10 200lbs 44 cm arms. Then continiou to believe that. I have respect everyone in this forum firstly rob then all of you.I finally needed to speak that hard. Because upgrading or downgrading a celeb non stop isnt respectfull. Ä°n my opinion Robs listing is %100 correct....

In the Video from Chris175 you can't judge his height, only that hes taller than 5'5"..., but how much..no way...
Another thing...Really astonishing and interesting at the same time that two people who have seen him live & barefoot are soo far apart from each other in estimating Stallones height.. MJKoP as well known is strongly convinced about at least 5'10" and John B whom Stallone also walked by says 5'7"... I mean we're talking about barefoot.. how can one man be so wrong in judging his height? (I don't say you're the one, John B.. but quite interesting to me.. No bad feelings against anyone, but i can differentiate between 5'7" and 5'10"..keeping in mind this person walks you by barefoot..!! No magic skills necessary...Regards

Met Mr Stallone when I was working in Jury's Hotel in Ireland (limerick) 2003 He stayed a few nights, he used the Hotels Pool and Gym, he was nice guy and I got to meet him 3 or 4 times. The Hotel closed off the pool for him and a few friends between 6am and 7am one morning and I had to make sure no one would enter between these times. I'm dead on 5'9 and Mr Stallone who walked by me barefoot to the changing area was shorter then me he was around 5'7 - 5'7 and a half - other times I saw him he was looking 5'9 to 5'10 with footware. This had been a running theme with other staff who joked about his height as one moment he looked short next he was taller.

There has been so much debating as to Stallone's height over the years. His must be one person everybody expects to be taller, because he has the sort of exceptional physique associated with Mr Universe-style contests. I admit that I would have believed him to be well over the 6ft mark. He also used a small and dainty actress to play his wife Adrian in the 'Rocky' films, giving us all the impression that he was tall!
But whatever height he is, he isn't jealous and nasty about tall actors; it was Sylvester Stallone who worked with the 6ft John Travolta to get him fit and buff for the film 'Saturday Night Fever' and John said he was incredibly patient and devoted to helping him lose his surplus poundage and turning him into a muscle machine!
He also writes such touching films that nobody can dispute that this man's heart is in the right place!
Editor Rob: Sandy, for me Sly Stallone is a 6ft 2 man stuck in a 5ft 9 man's body.
I can't believe you think he's 5'9" Rob? I promise you that barefoot, you would be taller than him.

It's a matter of perception I guess, I always thought of Stallne as quite stocky actually, I thought about 5 ft 8. When you really look at him in films though he can often look nearer 5 ft 10. 5 ft 9 peak is reasonable.

I always thought he was tall. He tends to give off a 6' impression at times (to me), but there have been some people estimating him at 5'7" when meeting him in his prime. I couldn't see any less than 5'8.5" at his peak at the very lowest.
I'd say he stood in a solid 5'9" range, as there's plenty of evidence supporting that.

The angles make it almost impossible to tell anything from that video. Downright horrible for the sake of comparison.

Rob,Is a solid 173cm a good possibility ?Or You think 174 -175 cm range is more accurate ? I keep viewing pics where He stands with other celebrities that fall in the 5 9 range and i see that Sly is able to keep on them with his footwear.Elevator shoes and a tremendous posture are two remarkable boosts for comparison shots with him

Editor Rob today he might fall somewhere in 173-4 zone, he has reached an age that his body will be finding it much harder to repair itself and that natural age related degeneration of cells will be occurring more frequently.
I think he's done well staying somewhere in 5ft 8 range at 70, he's had a lot of action roles over 40 years.

Woke up 5'9 in his peak. Walked around at 5'8.75-5'8.5 during the day. These days 5'8.25 and drops a hair under 5'8. Roughly 1 inch height loss. Why should he be any different then anyone his age.

I think these numbers are way off. I saw Sly in person at the Arnold classic I'm thinking in 2010. I'm 5'7" & walked out of the restroom almost into one of his bodyguards. When he walked by me, I'm guessing that he was 5'3" tops...
Women never take into account that they wear 3-6" stiletto heals.
Even if she had half a foot(the very maximum of the range you gave) of heel height added to her natural 5'7", he'd still be nowhere near as much as four inches shorter than her, and that's with him in completely flat shoes.

@Rob..Hi Rob cheers for acknowledging my previous post, yes i agree with yourself and several of the guys on this site regarding Stallone's height, i don't think any of us are looking to purposely downgrade the star but it stands to reason, if he was a genuine 5'10" barefoot, what with the lifts he wears, he's be coming in at around 6'1" and he's nowhere near that. Recent photos of himself and Carl Weathers show a difference of some 3 inches and Carl is probably closer to 6' these days, he's 5'8" at a push...

Editor Rob with 50 guesses on Sly that's a good indication the typical estimate is around 5ft 9...
today 5ft 8.25 may well be possible.

Funnily he had a prison number and it was '510'...only Sly would get a prison number to be the height he claimed!

hahaha that's him subliminally trying to get people to believe his claim!

Stallones true height is 5'7 !!! With his generous footwear he hits the 5'10 mark !!! The lady who playd his wife in FIST said sly was shorter than her & she is 5'8 & further stated she was asked to wear flats the entire movie so he could appear taller than her !!!

Editor Rob yeah, in films you just aren't sure what he was wearing inside shoes.

Stallone definitely isn't 5'10", a guy of that stature would be 5'11"ish with flat shoes or trainers and Stallone barely reaches that height with lifts, i'm not looking to purposely downgrade but i would suspect he's around the 5'8" mark and the lifts boost him to 5'10/11" , which is the height he appears in most of his movies

Editor Rob I think someone mentioned Lock Up and he really could look pretty close to John Amos, although he had thick boots on, you can see them in one scene, like a 1.5-1.6 style.

He is taller. How you can estimate height from a picture to the 1 cm? It is ridiculous.

The Glenn was under 5' 7", more like 5 foot 6.5". Sly wore his New York footwear: elevated. Barefoot the difference would have been 2".

Rob, in the (albeit flawed) photo of Glenn with Sly, what would you estimate for the height difference disregarding footwear, camera angle, and floor flatness?

Editor Rob if he was 5ft 7 that moment you can argue 5ft 9 for sly...

I agree with the peak listing of flat 5'9" but his current height needs to be tweaked just like Arnold.
Both men are nearer 5'8" flat and 5'11" flat respectively.

In Tango and Cash Stallone looked 2 cm taller than 176 cm Russell in the shower sceen. I know we discussed this before and with camera angels etc. But could it have been double or was Sly 5.9.5 in his younger days?
