Tommy Tiny Lister's Height
6ft 5 (195.6 cm)
American actor and wrestler, best remembered for films like The Fifth Element and Friday. On Dove.org, it once mentioned "I'm six-five, two-seventy-five," Tommy 'Tiny' Lister told me in a recent interview with The Dove Foundation"

@Rampage: yea definition of a legit 6’5”lunchtime I’d elect 6’5 1/8” and a straight 6’5” afternoon/evening as a worst case. Possible he was even 6’5.25 lunch and 6’5 1/8 afternoon/evening. But I wouldn’t go any higher. Not sure he was quite a strong 6’5 though (6’5.25 afternoon) but I think the avg guess while not far off, is a little too low if people guess him under 6’5 peak. They may have seen pics later in life of him where he may have begun to lose height

6ft5 and change peak is possible for Tiny....Hogan peak I think might still have the edge though

@Ian: my definition of a peak Hogan is in the pics with Taker where he’s 1.5-2” shorter and with Trump when he’s 3 or so inches taller. I could see Hogan falling into one of three categories or somewhere in between them
I think this is most likely scenario
6’6 out of bed
6’5 5/8 after an hour
6’5 1/2 after 2
6’5 3/8 lunchtime
6’5 1/4 afternoon evening
Or 1/8” taller on each and being a 6’5 1/2” lunchtime and 6’5 3/8 afternoon or 1/4” taller and a 6’5 5/8 and 6’5 1/2”. Other possibility is he was 6’5 flat afternoon and 6’5 1/8 lunch. I can’t see over 6’5 1/2” afternoon and really that seems a bit high to me. I’d say more of a 6’5 1/4” range guy. But a 6’5 1/2” listing here on Celebheights solves the problem.
Tiny Lister on the other hand was a straight 6’5 guy maybe even a hair over at lunchtime 6’5 1/8” or 6’5 1/4” if he fell to 6’5 1/8” afternoon. I can’t see Lister below 6’5 flat even at night unless an extreme low kicked in

@Canson i agree, he's a solid 6'5, but hogan's peak isn't when he wrestling Sid Eudy, Undertaker, etc, if you count that period as his peak then he maybe even worse than 6'5, maybe even just 6'4 for him at that time

the most legit 6´5 on the site. this guy was clearly taller than a guy like vincea vaughn. I think 197 isnt impossible. he was always taller than hogan in early 90s and hogan was maybe 195 cm at that time.

Couldn’t have been only 6’4 at his peak. He was around the same as Hogan. Hulk was over listed so 6’5 flat for Tiny and 6’5-6’5.5 Hulk make sense

Honestly believe he was 6-4. The boots he wore had 2.5 min heels. Hence why he looked a bit taller than hogan

Editor RobTiny might have best chance of having measured slightly taller, but both Tony/Ken I think likely have lost an inch nowadays from near 6ft 5 10-20 years ago.

I don’t think he was ever an afternoon 6’5.5” more than likely a solid 6’5” guy (6’5.75 out of bed and 6’5 afternoon height) but I doubt he was ever as low as 6’4 even when he passed. Still likely at least 6’4.5” at the end of his life

He looks 6'2-6'5 a strong 6'5 to me though a weak 6'2-6'4.
That makes no sense. Your range is too much. Tiny was a legit 6’5 peak.

@RP: not so sure he’s that low today. Maybe not the full 6’5” today but it’s hard to say. I think a peak Lister May have been the full 196cm 6’5 1/8 though. He definitely looked about as legit a 6’5” as you get and certainly at his peak not less than 6’5” flat.

A 6'5" person (Lister) wearing 2 inch lifts and therefore being an inch taller than another person (Hogan) would make that person (Hogan) 6'6", not 6'7". You need to improve basic math skills before calling others "idiots" lol.

Lister said in an interview, in which you can watch on Youtube, that for the Movie No Holds Barred, that he wore 2 inch lifts in the movie to appear about an inch taller then Hogan as an intimidation factor. This movie was made in 1989, Hogan at his peak in the late 70's early 80's was a legit 6'7". You idiots need to do your research before you start judging height by it's cover, literally!

Hey Rob what about Tommy 'Tiny' Lister? You know that muscley tall guy from the movie Friday and the President? guy from the 5th Element. I've seen 6-7, and also saw on a message board that 6-4 would be generous. So I'm not sure 6-5 may be right though.
[Editor Rob: I think someone mentioned this guy a while ago, and they had come up with the 6ft 7 guess, which from Univeral Soldier seems likely...I will add this guy soon ;-)]
Of course its hard to guess at the beginning but when you meet and have more actors with known height or actors with close guesses its easier to compare.
Did you have him at 6ft7 in 2006 or it was just a guess?

Editor RobCompared to Dolph who claimed 6ft 5 and 6 he could *look* 6ft 7 ;) Doesn't mean he is. He claimed 6ft 5 in October 2006 and has been on that mark a long time. He could look taller than the 6ft 5 claim, at one point his website described him as 6ft 7 before lowering it to 6ft 5.

This guy is very big he towers many 6 2 claimers and better.
He is very funny but plays small parts for such a big dude..
I think he was actually a bit over this peak but who knows about footwear.
I can say with certainty the weight claim is not peak during 90s he had to be over 300.
He made John Candy look smaller than anyone else not easy to do.

Legit 6'5 barefoot, wore 2-3 inch heels to bloom bigger than Hogan.
They do a close up of his feet on the ring steps when it's Hogan vs Boss Man in a cage and the lifts are huge.

Ah.... it's the wrestler Zeus who had to wear 6 inch platform boots in his segments with Brother Love (who is Bruce Prichard in real life and whose podcast I am currently listening too). He was supposed to be another big monster for Hulk Hogan to slay, yet when they finally met at Summerslam 1989, in their face off.... Zeus literally looked barely half an inch taller than a legit 6'5 Hogan. Of course, he could not wrestle in 6 inch platforms and to be honest, could barely wrestle in general (because he was an actor), but I would never tell him that to his face! Loved the rolling eyes and unibrow!

He did look more than 6'5" in Friday but I'm sure that's because he was wearing Nike AirMax which can make you appear 2" taller than your actual height.

6 '5 rob has it right but to clear this up lister never played in the nba(internet rumor) he played minor league football briefly.

Although I think he was listed higher before I think his claimed & listed height is honest.

I'm 6'4" barefoot and 6'5 in shoes, I met him on the 4th of july, I was maybe an inch taller but I also had much thicker shoes than he did. I think he was at least 6'5 in his prime and at least 6'4.5" now.

rob you were right for the measurement. tiny could still possible be 6ft4er maybe just a fraction under. but definitely not quite over 6ft4 in prime. compare him next to solid 176-177 eric robert he does look legit 6ft4 standing straight. ;)

Appears a fraction shorter than other 6'5"ers but it could be the lean and angle of the photo. He's close if not there though.

he doesn't look under 6ft 3 when you account for Tiny's head being very long.

The thought of tiny lister being 6'2-3 gives me nightmares really,at worst he could be 1,94m even with Mamum you can tell that he is a huge giant individual who definately would not not fill the 6'2 range bill
__________
if lister was really just 6'2 that would have a massive knock on effect for loads of guys in the wwf back in the 80s, wwe billed him i believe at 6'11 or 7ft at first and then dropped him down to 6'9, but having seen him standing next to ric flair in wcw circa 1996 (and having met flair a couple of times over the last 12 years) i am 100% sure lister ain't 6'2, anyway no way he looks 6'2 with lundgren and van damme either

Hogan was a peak 6'5 at least and Tiny Lister was like an inch taller in No Holds Barred.
Yeah and Tiny Lister was in platform boots (almost Kane like boots) at that time. This was a PEAK Hogan, so if Tiny was 6'5" back then, he needed the extra padding to edge out Hogan. I'm sure if Tiny stood barefoot with a 1989 barefoot Hogan, Hogan would have been the taller of the two by a bit.

lister was never taller than Hogan..Hogan peak 6'5.5 and lister 6'5 or hogan 6'6 and lister 6'5.5.Lister was wearing thicker boots in all the matches against the hulk..hogan with his 0.5 boots makes him 6'5.5 + 0.5 = 6'6..lister 6'5 with his 1.25 - 1.5 inches boots makes him 6'6.25- 6'6.5
Agreed. Although, I think Lister could have been in a solid 6'5" with 2" heels. That would make him 6'7"-6'7.5" in his heels. I think Hogan was closer to 6'6" in .75" heels. That would make him 6'6.5" in his boots.

Lister in the No Holds Barred and his brief 14 month stay in the WWF he wore a special designed Logger boot that had 3.5" heels. At first WWF billed "Zeus" @ 6'11" & 343 pounds. However, about 3 or 4 months into his career they down graded him to 6'9". Tom has stated before that his true barefoot height was 6'5" and that he only weighed about 305-310 during his WWF career. Hogan was actually about a half inch taller than Tom, when Tom was'nt wearing his 3.5" heels. Hogan also has a larger head. And in '88-'89 was even a few pounds heavier. Even though the WWE listed Zeus anywhere from 325 to 343 & Hogan @ 302.

This guy has always been at least 2" taller than Hulk Hogan. He came to my high school in 1991-92, and was standing next to the female center of the school. He wasn't much taller than her. She claims to be 6'1", but 6'3" would be more correct. I'm being 6'0" w/sneakers, and having to look up to her. Which I hated, by the way. So, 6'5" would be about right. Maybe even 6'6". If you put 2 persons side by side with an inch difference in their height, you probably say their heights are the same.

I saw the film The Man of War already yesterday. Lister didn't seem to be taller than Lundgren, there was maybe a half inch difference between them. Lundgren could be 6'5" but Lister is over 6'5" but even not a full 6'6". Lister is exactly 6'5 1/2" in my opinion. I also saw a photo where Lister was standing beside a 6'4" actor and Lister was exactly one and a half inch taller than the 6'4er". Lundgren is 6'5" and Lister 6'5 1/2". The 6'7" claiming for Lister is definitely a joke even if he's already described as 6'6" in his wrestling websites.

Well 15% is pretty good for a normal person but for someone who works out a lot its only fair. Also this depends on your body weight. Even if Hogan was 15% in the 80's. He was that % at 300lbs or so which is very good compared to someone say 200lbs at 15% where its only fair.

Lister and Hogan were identicle in 1989. There is a video of them having a stare down and they're both the same height.

He was 6'6+ 300+ when he was young. He was a little taller and heavier than Hogan. They both really shrunk up when they got into their late 40's. Maybe they had to get off their energy drinks.

Is lister 6'5 now or just when he was younger? Because if he's 6'5 now he was probably 6'6 when he was younger.

The average young man has 15 percent body fat, not man in general. 15% is in good shape by everyday standards - the average 40 y/o man isn't.

The average man has 15 percent body fat. I know Hogan wasn't the most ripped person, but he was obviously in much better shape than the average man, so I doubt his bodyfat level was 15 percent in his prime or even now.

LOL at anyone thinking Hulk was actually 6% bodyfat at any point in his life. Hogan at his absolute fittest was about 270 pounds (billed as 310) and about 15% body fat.

I saw a 1987 episode of HBO 1st & ten and Lister, O.J. and John Matuszak were having an altercation in the bathroom over something, Lister & Matuszak locked up and it did look like Lister was only maybe 2 inches shorter than Matuszak and about the same weight, so I would absolutely say that Lister was 6'6 and 300 way back when in his prime. Hogan, 6'5 285 at the same time.

Hogan was definitely in double digit body fat. YES, he did lose weight in the late 80's for No Holds Barred. I read an article that he went from 310 pounds in 1986 to 294 in 1987 to in 287 in 1988/1989. He was maybe 12-14% bodyfat at that time. During his WCW reign he appeared to be lower in bodyfat, along with a lower bodyweight of 255-270 pounds. He began gaining back some weight in 1999-2000 (280-290).

Sorry, Hogan was not 6% body fat or even close. 6% is freaking shredded. Takes ridiculus discipline to get their, and even harder to maintain.

saw him vs hogan, hulk was 6ft 6 and 285 tiny was 6 ft 6 and a half in boots and 306 pounds, hulk had 21.5 inch arms as aposed to the 24 inch arms they claimed! zeus lister had about 21 inch arms but was bigger than hulk in his whole body except for his arms. lister was huge and had approximently 9 pct body fat! hulk had about 6 pct fat, lister was a powerhouse and if he wanted to could have played lineman in the nfl.

Lister was about 6'6 1/2 and about 310 back in his First and Ten days in the mid to late 80's. He was huge, he would stand next to O.J. Simpson who was about 6'1+ back then and about 210+ and he just towered over him. However like so many in the wrestling biz, he really shrunk up. He's no more than 6'5 now and maybe 275.

Lister could be 6'6.5" or even 6'6.75". Not fully 6'7" but a snitch over 6'6". 6'5" is definitely wrong.

Lister has been legitimately listed taller than 6'5 (NOT talking about in wrestling). That is very true Danimal. But Kevin Federline is legitimately listed 6'0 almost everywhere expect here where Rob has him at 5'11 yet he looks 4" shorter than John Cena Click Here
Lister was max 6'5

I'm not sure Zeus's boots are any bigger than Hogan's. The soles of Hogan's boots are white and blend in with the canvas there. Zeus is also leaning more than Hogan.
There may be basketball heights for Zeus hidden away somewhere out there -- he had a brief stint in the NBA.

Here is Hogan with legit 6'5 Zeus who has at least 2 to 2 1/2 inch heels on his boots and is standing on his tip toes. Hogan's knees are bent and Hogan would be taller than Zeus if he straightened up.

Maybe Lister was 6'6 and that makes Hogan 6'5 in his prime which I can't see Hogan under. On Friday he looked 6'5-6'6 compared to 6'1 Chris Tucker who he towered over.

I think he was more 197 or nearly 6'6. Easily 300lbs in the last 1980's.

I take the Globe's word for it. It is my paper after all. 6-5? Maybe a bit less, looked about 3 inches on Will Smith. Let's say Will is 6-1 then Lister is 6-4. When did you add this name? I remember requesting this a LONG time back!

Hogan wore lifts too though, and he had years of experience at it. I'd like to see some good pics of Hogan and Lister together where we can see they're feet.

Tiny only appeared 1" taller than Hogan because Tiny wore MASSIVE platform boots that he could barely keep his balance in. Rob him of those boots and Hogan would have had an inch on him back then (1990 and before).

I worked on "One Night With the King" in which Lister was a co-star and got to meet him. I'm exactly a legit 6-5 and he was no taller than me. But he was huge: I'm 215-220 and he was probably pushing 300. Extremely nice guy and very personable.

I use to think this guy was 6'9 LOL. Thats because I remember he had an inch on Hogan in the late 80's and I thought Hogan was 6'8. Tiny Lister does look 6'6 most of the time though. Seen a few pics where he appears more 6'5 though.

Now, this is a guy whose height and weight listings are all over the place. I've read everywhere from 6'4" to 6'8" for this dude. I'd say 6'5" and possibly some change would be correct. He didn't look as high as 6'6" in the 'Friday' series.
