Sylvester Stallone's Height
5ft 8 ¼ (173.4 cm)
Peak height was 5ft 9 (175.3 cm)
American actor best known for The Rocky, Rambo and Expendable series, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd and Cobra. In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he said "I'm 5'10" and in a 1993 edition of the New York Times added a fraction, saying "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches", although he once pushed his luck in a 1978 Playboy article claiming to stand "Five feet ten and three quarters tall."
Cinema.com, on meeting him, said "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight", which he even mentioned himself: "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". His footwear has always been a source of contention and in a 1990 Chicago Times article, the journalist mentioned "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist Italian shoemaker once commented that he "made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!". Sly's penchant for lifts dates back to the 1970's, with fellow actor Kevin Conway remarking that Sly was only 5ft 9 and "wears lifts all the time". Sly himself even joked about it once, when commenting upon the size of Rocky IV co-star Dolph Lundgren:"I'm fighting with elevator shoes on, this is ridiculous." There are definitely several tricks to looking taller, one of which was highlighted by Expendables 3 co-star Kelsey Grammar, who said Sly was a great guy, "Except when he changed the camera angle a little bit to make me look shorter."
In the screenwriter William Goldman's book 'About Lies Stars Tell', he offered his own estimation of Sly's stature, saying "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches," revealing his source to be a jogger of similar stature to Sly. Goldman described how he ventured into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and 10 minutes later, "He got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet." That estimate is shared by Hulk Hogan, who casually called Sly "Five Six/Five Seven" and also by an Amateur Boxer who worked on Rocky V, saying he was stunned at the shortness of Stallone and towered above him: "I always pictured him as being a big guy. But I'm 5-foot-9 and I was two-three inches taller than him."
An ex-partner of Sly - Supermodel Janice Dickenson - claimed in her book 'Everything about me is fake' that when Sly was trying to pick her up, she recalled "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also that "I couldn't believe how short he was". Another actress, Melinda Dillon - from F.I.S.T - commented in The Chicago Tribune that "I'm taller than Sly and that bothers him and we kid about it so I take off my shoes in some scenes. I can't slouch or I wouldn't be Anna. She's very upright."
Fellow action stars have even chimed in on his hard-to-pin-down height, most notably Jean Claude Van Damme, who once said "I'm 5-foot-10, a good size for movies. If you're too big a guy, it's hard to find good villains. That's why Stallone always has good villains. He's short."

Sly Stallone is 5-foot-7, I believe. Shorter than you think - and not just short on talent. Anyway, he only hires actors his height or shorter, unless they're playing some kind of freakish villain. So I'll never work with Stallone unless I let him shoot me, and I'll never let myself get that desperate.

Like his namesake, the man is sly when it comes to his height. 5'8 flat peak. Due to his age, could be anywhere between 5'6 to 5'7 now.
Most likely uses lifts extensively in any manner he can.

has anyone seen Rocky 5? Richard Gant is apparently 6'3 and stallone looked fairly short next to him despite the fact he's most likely even wearing lifts. more convince than ever that he is and has always been 5'7.

Stallone has always been a shortish guy. 5'9" range sounds believable when he was younger.

@Legend 177 cm: Stallone's footwear looks similar to those 2" Hogan sneakers he wore a lot around the mid-2000s, but Statham could not have been any taller then. I think Sly was still 5'8.5" from at least 2015-2019 and looked it on video even when wearing dress shoes into 2017 at age 70 and was pulling off looking about 5'10" at that event assuming Statham is also about 5'8.5". Notice Statham is going up on his toes on his left foot, which can give you about 1 cm and he still didn't look like he could be any taller than Stallone barefoot yet.
One thing about Sly is that he's still managed to maintain perfect posture so if he's shrunk any more since then, I don't think it's more than a fraction. He didn't look to have lost a fraction until at least 2013-2014 and I don't think he'd have lost more than 1/4" yet by then since it still seemed likely he edged Statham. Only by 2015 did it seem Stallone had lost a full cm. We can safely say Sly was somewhere between 174-175 cm peak with Brigitte Nielsen confirming that height on that reality show in the 2000s. Arguably more 5'9" since I believe Nielsen has also given that figure for Stallone more recently, but most likely a weak 5'9" or 5'8.75" with Statham likely a small fraction shorter at just 5'8.5" peak.

Back in 2002 I saw a website that said that in the movie First Blood, John Rambo was five nine and 167 pounds. So I believe Stallone was five nine when he was younger.

Stallone makes Jason Statham look tiny! I think Stallone hasn't shrunk much. Statham looks 5'7" max. Stallone has to be at least 5'8.5" now. He was definitely around 5'9" when he was younger.

Can’t imagine him over 5-8 now. Peak is difficult to gauge with him a lover of camera angles etc and suspicious footwear. Probably 5-9 max peak.

I guess the listing is spot on. Recent pics where Sly and his wife are next to each other barefoot show that he should be around 5'8 by now. His wife is listed 5'9:

I'd be thinking 5'8.5" - 5'8.75" range peak rather than the full 5'9". Maybe 5'8.75" would be the safest bet.

Don't think he was under 5'9" in his prime. Rewatched the first 2 Rocky films recently and he passed for 5'10"+ I'm sure the the camera angles were accommodating but did not look on the short side at all at that time.

i always thought Mr.T was 5'9.5-5'10 but not too sure. If he was 5'10.5 peak then stallone looks 5'8 . i doubt he was ever above it and still think 5'7 is closer.

They're all of similar height there. I'd estimate Snipes at 5'8.5" to maybe 5'9" max, ditto Statham. Bandares is listed here at 5'8.5" and Sly appears to edge him by at least a fraction, though its arguable Bandares is more 5'8" flat, which would still make Sly near 174 cm in comparison. Imo, he also has an edge on Snipes and Statham, both whom are most likely 5'8.5" guys, possibly a little over, with Snipes having a somewhat fair chance of 5'9". This would make Sly at LEAST 5'8.5", and possibly a 1/4" over that in '14. His shoes are clearly liftless here, and they appear to be normal low-heeled dress shoes. Its arguable Sly is the tallest out of all the guys, though they are all fairly close. Sly has never been 5'7". If you even assume he was, then you'd have to explain his ability to pull off a strong 5'11" with a good pair of lifts/elevator shoes back when he regularly wore bigger footwear. Remember, 5'7" + 4" over standard 1" shoes = 6'. Its ridiculous and impossible for Sly to have been that short, or under 5'8.5" to be able to pull off the height he did in the observable footwear we've seen him in over the years. His shoes should have looked like stilts and he should have walked like a clown had that been the case! Again, remain objective and leave personal bias out the way!
I'm reposting this to demonstrate Sly is not in lifts literally 100% of the time, though he is for the majority of public events and professional photo shoots.

Hey Rob, I'm 23 and I've been wearing 2 inch lifts with boots that have a thick sole for almost 4 years now. My legs sometimes ache but ive not noticed any problems in joints. Was just wondering if this could cause height loss (I haven't noticed any yet).

Editor RobIt will increase the chances of some problems, much like how women who wear high heels might run the risk of an increased chance of foot or ankle/ligament issues.
Maybe if you take care and do some stretches with legs it might reduce risks.

I think it was about 185 pounds with a low percentage of fat mass. in the various films his weight has varied from the lowest in Rocky III (165) to I believe the highest in Get Carter (200 lbs)

there are weird pictures of melinda dillon and keifer sutherland. maybe age and sutherland's footwear played a part. i was thinking maybe 5'8 comparing her with john lithgow. either way, i take her quote more seriously than the likes of hogan or jean claude van damme since she didn't seem like someone that would say something like that if it wasn't true. this sure would have been fun to talk about when his height was one of the most popular here especially 2009-2010 lol.

i could never believe anything under 175 cm peak and never over 177. 176 is very possible. He did look same or taller than kurt russel in their shower scene. both barefoot and both with good posture. I guess the only time stallone did pulled of almost 5´10. Stallone is a guy that peole always called a dwars and arnold is called giant back in the day but in reality there really was at most 4 inches beetween them. Sly legit 176 and arnold weakish 186. But of course with all the heavy weight arnold did lift he was always walking around 1 cm shorter than if hew wouldnt lift. Today stallone still can look close to 5´9. legit 176 down to legit 174. ( but not a single person will be with me on that :P)

@5'7 and a fraction. Read above. Many actors described him as a short guy. Hulk Hogan said 5-7. I apologise for all you 5-7 5-8 guys for me thinking you’re short. Being tall I see 5-8 short for a guy.

Not less than 5'8.5-5'9'', for sure
That's just the way he's always looked, proportions and height-wise, throughout his life and career, I'd say. Anything lesser than 173.5-4 is bs for prime Sly, I think. Today? Not so sure, but to me, he'd still clear about 5'8'' barefoot.
A truly charismatic and just great guy.
Plenty of great films, both action-wise and leading thought(-s)-wise.
Not less than 5'8.5-5'9'', for sure
That's just the way he's always looked, proportions and height-wise, throughout his life and career, I'd say. Anything lesser than 173.5-4 is bs for prime Sly, I think. Today? Not so sure, but to me, he'd still clear about 5'8'' barefoot.
A truly charismatic and just great guy.

@MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 5-8 range is short for a guy. 5-8 for a Hollywood action hero who claimed 5-11 is definitely short. Hope that clears up everything

How is a guy who's peak was likely to be 5'9 short? Sly was average, now he's a little under at 5'8 maybe 5'8.25.

Nowadays 5'8.5, peak height was definitely 176cm, he's barefoot in Tango and Cash with Kurt Russel and he looks about the same height, if not a lil bit taller actually. And in Rambo first blood at the police station he looked 176cm next to the rest of the cast.

Its obvious to me Stallone is top 5'7 tall.
I have seen hundreds of photos
Its also obvious to me that there are very clever, intelligent valid people here like frank2 and they seem very professional.
Frank2 claims Stallone is 5'7
His own sister (Stallone's not franks) says he is way below 5'9
Multiple other people on this very long thread who met Stallone never give him more than 5'8
Then there is this excuse my language ****** who got banned thank god, who is selling stalline signed gifts etc (no conflict of interest there) and he claims Stallone is 5'11
This man is a laughing stock of this thread
Thank you frank2 for addressing this
Its obvious to me that Stallone is 5'6-5'7
Also Stallone's behavior is insulting
400 USD for a photo? Or sending obviously paid hit men like the banned guy? Or fake "fans" who saw Stallone being 10 feet tall on a beach?
Stallone has too much cash it seems
Man up Stallone, frank2 exposed ur childishness well

He’s a shortish guy. Barefoot peak I doubt he was a full 5-9. Imo he’s probably closer to 5-8 peak. His 2.5 heels gave him the 5-10 range illusion.

@Rob To correct myself, i think actually he looks taller there. Nielsen is slouching and bending her one foot down, but Stallone is standing at his best there and really looks around 5'9.5 to me there, but may not be quite that tall.

@Rob Do you agree that 175 or 176 peak is more likely than 174? I personally think that because the picture of him and Nielsen in Boxing shoes convinced me. He really looks solid 5'9 range there to me.
The recent picture with Glenn was interesting, maybe the angle helped him look a bit taller there. Could almost pull of near 5'9 there i guess, but he is more in the 5'8 range today i guess.

That new Glenn pick is a little bit surprising. Sly looks to be standing 5’9 1/2” (if it was a perfect comparison with a 5’6.5” Glenn), less his obvious footwear advantage and camera/pavement advantage= still looks in the vicinity of 5’9”. If the difference between them is less than 2” then the footwear difference must be more than it appears.

💥💥 Sly is weak 5.9 flat and about 5.10 on shoes. Stars like Stallone, Richard Gere, Alain Delon, Wesley Snipes are about 5.10 with shoes on and at most 5.9 or weak 5.9 flat. Stantham is 1 cm shorter and Mel Gibson 1 cm taller. Stars like them that are icons of masculinity or beauty don’t wear lifts, but they usally wear 3 cm shoes. They don’t lie about their height but they give their best height on shoes when they are asked. Personally I am 5.8 flat and 5.9 plus (or 5.9 1/2 in the middle of the day wearing suit shoes. Antonio Banderas is as tall as I or 1 cm shorter and Tom Cruise about 1 cm shorter than Banderas. (Only stars like Robert Downey or Marky Mark wear lifts or lie because they make fun and although they are good looking they are not exactly icons of masculinity or beauty). ALSO THE STARS DONT LOSE HEIGHT BY AGE (UNTIL THEY ARE 70) BECAUSE THEY WORK OUT AND THEY ARE ATHLETIC.

Even if Glenn was 5'6 in the photograph Sly still looks 3 inches taller. OK, camera advantage etc could lessen the gap, but he still looks as listed or even a fraction taller. Falls between the average guess current and peak heights.

Based on his latest pictures, such as for example the one with Glenn, overall, i feel it's more likely he has lost between 1-2 cm than a full inch of height, although, i personally wouldn't rule that out.
He has very good posture and a build which suggests he still works and literally has worked his whole life at his physique and fitness, which is why he has such a good stance at 75.

@MJKop. Arnie wears a cowboy boot most of the time or a nice thick sports shoes most likely air filled type. So its still a fact the difference isn’t massive and never was. Both inflated the height by 1-2 “ and sly perhaps a tiny bit more. 6.0.75 peak arnie. Sly 5-8.5 peak
Nope. Arnold was easily 6'1.5"(at minimum) during his peak. Sly was a strong 5'9", IMO. So barefoot, Arnie towered over Sly during their peaks. Today, the difference is definitely a bit less, what with Arnie having shrunk more. And Sly was/is a far bigger offender in the footwear department than Arnie ever was(which kinda makes sense since Arnie was already tall).

@Rising174cm It's not easy ofcourse to see accurately heights because of angles, positions and posture. But i really think that full body pictures barefoot, there is no tricks anymore and you can see both body proportions and height more easily too. Yeah, i agree with you, his legs don't look short for his height too. Sly is really well built too, which makes him appear like a bigger person which can alter the perception too. His wife surely seems max 5'9 in those pictures atleast.
It's not easy always ofcourse, such as for example the old barefoot picture of Keitel and De Niro, where Keitel is closer to the camera, which could possibly reduce the real difference.

In recent pictures with Schwarzenegger the difference is really not much?? Either one of them is lying a lot or one was never what they claimed. Or both. 5-8/9 range peak. Now I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s 5-7.5 barefoot now.
Sly is still over 5'8", and he's shrunk barely an inch. Arnie has shrunk almost, if not three inches - far more than Sly has. Sly wears bigger shoes than Arnie, so the height difference looks far less drastic than in reality.
It's pretty simple, actually.

I can understand Sly isn't standing perfectly straight here but it will be hard to me to imagine him as tall as Eusebio with the same posture
Here is what type of shoe was wearing young Sylvester in the movie "Escape to Victory" next to Pelé = do pause at 19:09 /19:10 (possibility also to chose a low speed) .So you can see that even for training football he was wearing this shoes. Click Here .

@Okidoki: Yeah, in 2nd pic she has worse posture while in the first they both kind of have their head down. With barefoot photos you'll rarely get perfect pics so these are just to give us an idea, particularly regarding proportions. But as of 2013-2014, they were really close in height and as I said, Sly's legs surprisingly aren't too short. In the 2022 photo of Sly in dress shoes, Jennifer's dress covers her shoes so we can't see whether she's wearing heels as is typical when dress formally, but it's notable that Sly still maintains excellent posture and that could help him minimize height loss. Based on this and photos last year, I'd guess he's still about 5'8.5". The limited evidence we have of Sly's wife with other celebrities suggests she's about 5'9". As Sly himself was 5'9" max(either peak or 2013-2014) I don't believe she was quite 5'9.5" as her modeling height and the NY Times listed her.
Pierre, I am familiar with the type of photos you'll use and I believe you make up your mind ahead of time so as I said I'm not going to bother trying to convince you. A good example is that photo you use of James Corden visibly slouching where you claim he's tip-toeing even though it can't be seen whether he is from that angle. Most people agree that Van Damme had lost height over the last 10 years. As expected I can't tell that much from JCVD and Corden. Maybe an actual video shows the height difference. JCVD is probably 5'8.5" max these days, maybe shorter. I could believe JCVD was either 5'8.75" or 5'9" 10 years ago and at his peak.
When Van Damme was pictured with Stallone in 2012, JCVD was taller than Mario Lopez(probably 5'8.5" rather than 5'9" he's listed here) in 2 separate videos that year and seemed slightly taller than Statham who might be the 5'8.75" he's listed here as Statham also has looked taller than Mario Lopez, but Statham also looked shorter than 5'8.75" Robert Knepper whom Rob has met 15 years ago and Statham still doesn't look taller than Stallone in his 70s so I think Statham is also 5'8.5".
Here's Van Damme and Stallone from another 2012 event in dress shoes: Click Here Click Here and here's another event where Sly's model of shoes were identified and Rob said they add about 1.75": Click Here Click Here Click Here
It's pretty clear to me that Stallone was at least as tall as Van Damme at peak and in 2012 when they were possibly still peak height or close enough.

No disrespect to some of the guys under here who think Stallone was well under 5'9 peak, everyone is allowed to have their opinions of course. I just ask, is it realistic that Rob, a guy who has worked with this topic and hobby for 20+ years probably, who knows almost every single detail about height, posture, tricks etc is going to be off by a full inch or even a bit over an inch? I don't see how that is realistic.
I think upto 1.5 cm of his listings is possible, i just can't see Rob being off by a full 2 cm or a full inch. He has worked for so long with this topic that he knows how 5'9, 5'8, 6'0, 6'1 and the others height's look like.
I don't know if in the beginning of the site, he changed listings from full inches possibly, but when it passed a few years, i doubt any more than around half inches. I saw him change Lewis Hamilton from 5'8-5'7.5 for example once.
I can possibly see him being off by a full 2 cm at max, but i think it's rare that he would be off by that much with the amount of experience he has now.

@Rising174cm In you're second picture of Jennifer and Stallone, Stallone has really good posture and does really look slightly taller than Jenniffer there. She is slouching with her leg slightly there, but even if she would stand at her best, it will be very close but Sly has the slight edge in that foto. Is it a good angle? Doesn't seem too bad to me.

I always thought Stallone looked to have a proportionately long torso and short legs, but barefoot photos with his wife show his legs don't look too short in comparison since women have proportionately longer legs: Click Here Click Here First pic is 2013 and second is 2014. I'd guess he had still pretty much maintained his height and maybe lost 1 cm over the next few years after that.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but for others, she was/is definitely at least close to 5'9" and most likely a full 5'9".

A 1993 NY Times feature had her at 5'9.5" and 123 pounds. Her official modeling height was also 5'9.5", but a 1995 article had her at 5'9" so 5'9" flat is fair. She clearly looks tall like a typical female model who tend to at least be around 5'9".

Sly in March in dress shoes w/ his roughly 5'9" wife: Click Here I can actually believe he's still 5'8.5". Look at how he's maintained excellent posture. Even though the most he could have been peak was 5'9", I do believe he's maintained 5'8.5" these last 5 years. I showed a while ago how much the height difference has grown between Sly and Burt Young. Weak 5'9" peak so about 1 cm loss, which isn't impossible as Carl Weathers and Sam Neill have shown at a similar age.

@Rob The thing that is interesting is Janice saying that she had to stifle a laugh at how "short" Sly was. Do you think that Janice, from her and Naomi's perspective as 5'9-5'9.5 women were viewing a man like Sly short because he is around the same height as them and is a man? Or could maybe this be an argument that Sly was below 5'9? He looked 175-176 most of the time, but this had me thinking a bit :P Did he have bad posture or something, heheh.
I know many women that view men around the same height as them as short, some even when he is objectively not.

Editor RobMaybe because of the change in boots to barefoot, it would come as a surprise for tall women seeing sly in that manner.
Also maybe eyelevels and expectations can also throw off how tall/short somebody appears.

Just watched Rambo 2. The best part to judge his height is at the end when he’s next to troutman and Martin kove both 6,05. So even in his army boots (1.1 heel and his lifts which was confirmed) he still looks 5-10.5. So imo he was never over 5-8 peak barefoot. Recently near Lewis Hamilton he looked basically the same height.

Bring on the photographic evidence. You're still all talk. How do I know? How does anyone know if they've never seen any of those movies? Next to someone who's as tall as Dolph, Stallone is still an underdog no matter how you look at it. Forming that point was pretty needless.
If you want my sources or proof? Yes of course. You can try looking below at my argument with pictures included. Once you're done there, look at all the things real people have said who've met Sly in person, that Rob has already provided. I think it's you who needs some reading lessons guy.
I literally referenced photographic(and video) proof. You can view them for yourself. Not to belabor this point, but Dolph stood on a platform to create a more dramatic effect. Yes, he's much taller than Stallone in IRL...but to create an even more jarring height difference for the sake of making the movie more entertaining(i.e. an even bigger accomplishment when Rocky defeats him) Dolph stood on a platform, therefore rendering height comparisons useless.
And I could care less what those who claim to have met him in person say. Glenn claims Sly is 5'11", so I guess that figure also acts as "proof?"
And you are citing the fact that Rob provided quotes of "real people"(Glenn is also a "real person" who met Sly dozens of times, w/ photographic proof) to "corroborate" your guesses, yet you conveniently disregard that Rob still agrees with my estimation.

Quite sure, those photos were live stills from the movie. Again, Dolph was 6ft 4. Why would he need to stand on a box? Could be the other way around. LOL
Just because you say, he's "5'9," doesn't make it so. Any sources or proof for that would be great.
Reading comprehension, guys. I said to EXAGGERATE the height difference, i.e. make Stallone seem like even more of an underdog(David v. Goliath-esque battle).
My proof comes in the form of pretty irrefutable photographic evidence:
Him hitting over six feet in his lifts, him looking no more than three inches shorter than six foot Ray Liotta in flat shoes, and him looking no shorter than strong 5'9 Kurt Russel(both barefoot).
Just because you say, he's "under 5'9," doesn't make it so. Any sources or proof for that would be great.

In Cliffhanger, he sometimes looked shorter and sometimes looked taller than 5'9 Michael Rooker. His height really confuses me. But if I had to make a guess he's either a strong 5'8 or a weak 5'9.

I watched as much of the original Rocky as I could stand last night, and it's pretty hard to nail down Stallone's height. There can be no doubt, however that he was an extremely powerful man.
Rocky is a genuinely good movie, but much of it is unbearably sad. It is made clear that Rocky Balboa has an I.Q. of about 80, and you get a sympathetic but rather depressing look at how badly marginalized people like that really are. (There is a poignant scene where we see him rehearsing a lame joke in front of the mirror.) Adrienne is a plain, painfully shy woman, utterly crushed by her cruel and loutish brother.
Rocky is one of the few movies I can name where the plot depends on the main character being kind. Rocky is a failure as a collector for a loan shark because he flinches from hurting people. His romance with Adrienne is possible only because he is at heart a gentle man, who is willing to patiently woo her. His acceptance of Mickey as his trainer is possible only because he can forgive Mickey for cruelly abusing him at the gym.

A solid 5'9 or a hair over peak, IMO. The 5'8 range claims are just as bad as the 5'10.75(even 5'11 from Big G, which Sly himself never even claimed) nonsense.

However, my intuition says peak Sly was only 5ft 7.5. Guys like Michael Douglas, in their younger years were in the 5ft 9 range. I can't see him ever touching anywhere near that. Unless for with his lifts. He's probably really the same height as Tom Cruise.

Here’s my take — if Sly “lied” about his height by 1 inch or so that would make him a pretty typical celebrity. 1-1.5 inches over barefoot is still in that range where a person could’ve been measured at a doctor or by themselves in shoes and would’ve actually been the height they claim.
Either way — Sly at his current 5’8+ puts him in the very average range. Not bad for a guy that has lifted weights for 40+ years. Throw in the hair, thick shoes, posturing and you get the effect of him looking comfortably taller than someone like Statham as he has in many pictures.

If Sly was 5’9 I seriously doubt anyone questioned him being 5’10 for most of his life….especially with his hair, lean build and posture. And he could’ve been a fraction over 5’9 so we are talking less than one inch here. Keep in mind Sly lived 50+ years prior to the internet being very popular so places like this discussing his height didn’t exist. Now if he was 5’9 claiming 6 foot than sure random people in the 70s 80s and 90s would have took notice about something being off. The vast majority of people simply aren’t celeb height regulars trying to pin a guys height down to the 1/8 of an inch.

I can buy a flat 5ft 8 peak for Mr. Sly and that's being generous. Mr. T was 5ft 10 peak, so it's logical to see a two inch height difference. Anything more than that is ridiculous. A three inch lift wearing Sly would look a lot more taller standing next to others if he was any taller than that.

5’9 give or take even 1/2” Stallone is a solidly average height guy…especially for someone of his generation. In person with the hair, fit body, posture and wearing thicker shoes (even without lifts) he probably spent most of his life coming across as someone that was above average height.

Sly's boxing footwear didn't have lifts until apparently some scenes in Rocky 4. That's why he made that remark about having to do fight scenes in lifts with a solid 6'4" Lundgren. Although it was only noticeable to me in Rocky Balboa when his boxing footwear looked odd.
I still think Sly has to be about as tall as Jason Statham, who is listed at 5'8.75" here, but could probably use another quarter inch downgrade.
A 68 year old Stallone looked a bit taller than Statham in dress shoes 7 years ago: Click Here Click Here and a 72 year old Stallone in lifts still pulled off looking comfortably taller than Statham 3 just 3 years ago: Click Here Click Here Considering Statham is going up on one foot, Stallone could pull off near 2" taller in lifts at that event. This also makes it more believable he didn't have lifts in the earlier photos.

@Arch: 5'8.75" peak is extremely likely. He still looked that through the Expendables 3. Based on the photo above from that premiere with his brother, Sly had lost less height than Frank because the difference is closer to an inch back to back than 2".
Sly's Rambo 3 boots were confirmed to have lifts inside, but that's no real surprise because he looked 5'11" in that film. For what it's worth, First Blood author visited Sly on the set of Rambo 3 and got the impression Sly was his height, but that the "sturdy Rambo boots" made him look taller in their photos together. Morrell said he was 5'9.5" back in the 80s. As I said Sly was never taller than 5'9" flat, but it's not too surprising for a 5'9.5" man to think they're similar. Sly looked at least 5'10.5"-5'11" in Rambo 2 as well, so those boots must have had lifts.

He was in wedged up custom boxing footwear in 1976. Find the training footage from the film when he was in standard footwear...he's so short he's leaping off the canvas on his punches. In Rambo his boots had massive lifts inside.

I always thought sly was 5'9" peak height. Becouse i was only age 9 or 10 when i watched the rocky films in 1982 and i thought he must be big to act as a heavy weight boxer, i had no idea about him wearing 4 inch high shoes or lifts as i have learnend lol. But when i read he was 5'8" and maybe smaller i thought no surely not. Becouse in rocky i could see that his thick hair made him look at least 2 inches taller and i saw his shoes and they were at least 2 inch heels on them. So that would take him to at least 5'11" including the hair wich is tall. But carl weathers who played apollo creed was 6'2" flat footed, thats why when they stand eye to eye before there fight you will notice the camera looks up at them from near the floor to decieve apollos real height. But in rocky 3 clubber lang is 5'10" so hes really an inch or two taller and thats why the camera did show them almost eye to eye with clubber lang looking down at rocky from an inch taller becouse he is meant to be the real killing machine.

Not true. Sly wore Converse in that scene and Burt wore boots and Sly was clearly still taller. Here's a still: Click Here and here's a scene where you can see a wide shot at 1:07: Click Here and another scene with a wide shot: Click Here
Converse about 0.6" while Burt's boots are likely about 1". Burt's lousy posture can make the difference even greater, but it's still clear that Sly is taller there despite less footwear. Stallone could have been anywhere from 5'8.5" minimum to 5'9" max peak while Burt could have been anywhere from 5'7.5" minimum to 5'8" maximum. As I showed on 18/Nov/21, though, Burt has lost a lot of height while Sly doesn't appear to have lost more than half an inch.

@Parker: I actually agree after seeing this other photo from just 2 months ago: Click Here Dolph is still 6'2.5" minimum and more often looks closer to 6'3" since his 2017 hip replacements, though post-height loss Lundgren tends to look shorter when standing with people considerably shorter. Regardless, it's hard to see Sly less than 5'8.5" with him. Same with most of his 2018 and 2019 appearances.
The difference between peak Lundgren and Stallone in wide shots from the Rocky 4 set was obviously a lot greater. Dolph was at least 193 cm back then and has likely shrunk to about 190 range. It's clear Stallone hasn't shrunk anywhere near that much. He really only appeared to have lost about 1 cm between 2012 and 2015 and hasn't looked any shorter since. Based on appearance he's very likely 175 cm peak and 174 cm today.
And Van Damme has related his own height to Stallone's. It was certainly clear that a 66 year old Stallone was no shorter than a 51-52 year old Van Damme: Click Here Many have guessed Stallone at nearer 5'9" as well even if we ignore his co-stars like Weathers and Lundgren giving him 5'10"+. Brigitte Nielsen is in the best position to know and said 174-175 cm. Co-star Kevin Conway is aware of the lifts and still said 5'9". Similarly, First Blood author David Morrell said Sly seemed his height(5'9.5") back in the 80s and was also aware that his "sturdy Rambo boots" as he put it, made Sly look taller in their on set photo. Eddie Murphy also referred to Sly as 5'9".
Mel Gibson is another 5'9" action star who is also regularly called short and guessed often at 5'6"-5'8". Van Damme himself gets the same thing.

Sly is what I call "Short action star" height. Meaning his height (at peak at least) 5'9" give or take isn't particularly short among the general population but it is for the perception of how tall an action star should be. Most people associate action stars as being 6'+. So seeing Sly in person would cause most people think he is shorter than he should be.
Same with Arnold today, who is described as short-ish by some in person as he's now 5'10'-5'11" and not 6'2" like some people think he is.

Rob, you rarely see low average guys get described as this tiny by most people.
Claude Van Damme :"he's very short".
Janice Dickenson: "I couldn't believe how short he was".
Most other people also guessed him at 5'6"-5'8" in the quotes you link.
He has perfect posture, and looks lean/taller than he is, so why are people portraying him as so tiny? We know that most people guess others as taller than they are (due to exaggerating their own height) Are people exaggerating/joking when they call him so short?

5'8.75" or weak 5'9" peak into the Expendables era. Still about 5'8.5" until 2017 or so, but I'd probably guess more like 5'8" now based on probability even though he's done a good job standing tall and continuing to look over that.

@pere t. jackson Good analysis, but Carter is a bit closer to the camera than Sly is (look up forced perspective). So Sly is going to look a bit shorter. Even with the advantage Carter has in favor, Sly still looks taller in that photo. So if Carter leans back a little and we get an actual height comparison. Sly would probably be taller than him by maybe a couple of inches.

It's hard to follow you with that grammar. You must not be American. Anyhow, it's one thing to wear those lifts as you so like, but it's another thing when you're claiming it to be your actual height! That's what we're discussing on here. The true height of an individual. Not one man's freedom to be vain. That's the pure definition of being a charlatan.

Stallone tended to cast himself as big guys. This made sense when he played Rocky Balboa, who was a heavyweight boxer, and he got away with it by casting tiny actors like Burgess Meredith and Burt Young as his supporters.
But check him out in Over the Top, where he plays an arm wrestling champion. That was a bit of a stretch. The real arm wrestling champs are quite tall. One of them, Cleve Dean, was six foot six and competed while weighing close to 400 pounds. (Dean could not walk without a cane, because his legs could not support his massive size.) Another arm wrestling champ was actor William Smith, who was six foot one. Smith looked in reality like Stallone looked in his dreams.

Changing my guess for peak height from 5'9", to 5'9.5". And I still think he's 5'7.5" now, tho he will usually look maybe 2 inches taller (5'9.5") due to his monster lifts. I think his lifts now, perhaps make him look how tall he was when he was younger. The man is 75 years old, and he's a weight lifter. He's definitely lost some height, I believe 2 inches easily.

Sly being a 75 year old guy, who's lifted weights much of his life, only losing 3 quarters of an inch? It doesn't add up to me. I'd bet anything that he's lost at least an inch lol.
5'9" for peak height, current height seems to be around 5'7.5". Tho nowadays he usually seems much taller than whatever his real height is, due to lifts and/or thick heeled shoes.

Sly is approx 5'9 which is American average, what do you think is the Indian equivalent of American average( because most of the city people, especially of our generation looks well above 5'5 for example in almost every class of 25 students there almost always 1 or 2 students above 6'2, and students below 5'7 looks very short mostly. Even some rude people say 5'8 is short. So what do you think is the 5'10 height of India.

It’s what’s in the heart that counts, not a person’s level of height! Also 5’10” may be a height that appeals to many because 10 is a two digit number and 5’10” is two inches below 6’0”!

I’m meeting mr T and seeing him at maximum 5-10 it kinda does make you think if sly was ever taller than 5-8.

He's always been 5-7
5-9 is laughable

Since Sly wears elevator shoes like all the time he probably regularly stands at around 5'10 or 5'11. A fairly strong 5'8 barefoot seems accurate and his peak in my opinion is 5'9 tops. He's not as short as some people think. He's not even really short in my opinion. His stocky build can make him look shorter than he really is.

Peak strong 5-8. Now maybe just under 5-8

Always been a 5'8 guy that wears different footwear sizes. Honestly, Italians are pretty short so not too surprising.

Not the best photo for height comparison but this was Arnie and Stallone in the late 70s when they would have both been at their physical peak heights. Even back then Stallone made sure to wear advantageous shoes haha Click Here

With or without lifts, Stallone doesn't even stand close to looking 5 ft 8 1/2 currently here with Schwarzenegger.

Which means he could be even lower than 5'7 barefoot. There's no way he was ever 5ft 8.88in peak in real life.
Why conform? Why do the same as most people?

@Bradley, thanks brother! I was like 20 in '06, different interests back then I guess.
@Arch Stanton, that photo would help the argument, if you can upload it?
6 ft 4 you say for Clint Eastwood? That could be debatable. Why waste time on someone over 6 ft tall?
Mr. T looks to be more accurately listed and closer in height. Why muddle with a good thing, right?
It's still possible that someone that was 5 ft 7 1/2 to 5 ft 8 used 2.5 to 3 inch lifts to look about 5 ft 10 and up. Since everyone who's met with Stallone has said he uses lifts.
How do you rule out Mr. T having approximately more than a 2 inch difference?
Just my estimate and 2 cents.

Saw a picture of him with Clint the other day and he was only a couple of inches shorter LOL. 6 ft 4 vs 5 ft 7 as some think I think not. Maybe the current guess 5'8.88 peak is spot on! Wisdom of the masses I've noticed tends to often look accurate, even with many underestimating.

Great shots double R. We needed you in '06 on this Stallone forum. 5' 8.5" it is with T. Hotspots knows the truth.

Rob how can stallonebe listed 175 peak and kurt russell 176 (with a chanse of 177) when they looked the same height barefoot in the shower scene in tango and cash. if one of tem was taller then it looked like stallone. i really think 176,5 is better peak. i know everyone wants him to be shorter and call him dwarf but he really was a average guy, just litte under avergae.

Editor Robthey are quite close, but from all I've seen I'd have given Kurt a greater chance of measuring taller.

Assuming both are wearing boxing boots, (giving them equal footwear) and assuming Mr T. is the full 5 ft 10 he claims to be. These photos are possibly the best out there, in comparing and analyzing Stallone's real height at the time, once and for all.

I personally believe Stallone was no more then 5 ft 7 1/2. Or just under 5 ft 8.
We need those white lines with inches. How about it Rob, please?
