Sylvester Stallone Height

Slamo said on 11/Mar/23
5’7 and a fraction Well those famous people above describe him as short also. You must be right and they are wrong. Imo 5-8 isn’t tall. 5-9 imo starts as average with make height. You’re short range like sly so it’s actually pretty cool.

Slamo said on 22/Dec/22
What a very silly thing to say. 5’8 is just below average and I come across hundreds of guys 5’8 out in the town, so that’s hardly “short”. “Big” Rob is 5’8 so …
You must live in a world where the average height is 6 feet tall.

MareZ said on 28/Feb/23
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)

Slamo said on 16/Feb/23
Barefoot he would surprise many people. 5-7.75 barefoot imo. In his favourite footwear 5-9 + range.

Jtm said on 11/Feb/23
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 think tulsa king is worth adding to his bio Rob, it’s a big show ATM

Bradley said on 22/Jan/23
Time to get rid of the 1/4″.

Dmeyer said on 22/Jan/23
Sly boots will give 1,8 in thé Nike air force on thé 5-9,25 Guy give 1,2in so 0,6in more shoes and better posture Sly will apear 1in taller than reality he has to bé 5-8,25 still

berta said on 15/Jan/23
just saw the interview with him on jimmy fallon. he actually did not look over 5´8 in it. i must agree with robs 173,5 listing he propably is that height. could still be 174 but not a mm more.

MaskDeMasque 5’9.5 said on 30/Dec/22
Hes probably down to a flat 5’8 now from watching him in his new show, Tulsa king.

berta said on 28/Dec/22
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)

Slamo said on 22/Dec/22
@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.

5’7 and a fraction said on 21/Dec/22
Slamo said on 11/Dec/22
In reality he’s a pretty short guy. 5-8 or maybe under barefoot today
I’ve heard Stallone been called many things but “short” has not been one of them…

Yehor said on 20/Dec/22
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.

MaskDeMasque 5’9.5 said on 17/Dec/22
@Slamo
But he was 5’9….
5’8 isn’t short either.

Slamo said on 16/Dec/22
@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

MaskDeMasque 5’9.5 said on 12/Dec/22
@Slamo
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.

Slamo said on 11/Dec/22

Sh0ckeh said on 18/Nov/22
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.

Bradley said on 17/Oct/22
The tricks used in the Rocky movies to not look 5′ 8.5″ are legendary…..his Rambo boots were massive customs….huge wedge inside.

Usykfan said on 13/Oct/22
What about his reach? His reach looks over 5’11 in the Rocky movies

1984here said on 4/Oct/22
Struggling with 5-8 barefoot imo. 5-7.5. Max today.

berta said on 27/Sep/22
i still think he pull o 5´9 alot of the time. I think 176 peak and 174 now.

Bradley said on 3/Sep/22
Dats wight, 5 fweet 7 and a quartah might be right now after da baitin’ he’s taken n dee press recently. Sal, another hotdog and more napkins, I’m due to see da Scot upstairs in 2 hours and I can’t leave da Volvo backseat bed to lose even 1/2 of one inch. Frank2 please tell us why 5-7 is real.

burby said on 24/Aug/22
5’7″ peak is silly, but add “twee quartahs of an’ inch” (NYC G speak) and you’ve got yer 2022 Sly height.

Bradley said on 23/Aug/22
Frank2, there’s a name from the G-zuss years. I miss his posts. He said 5-7? Ridiculous. Stallone was 5′ 8.5″ peak, around 5′ 8″ now.

Becheese said on 21/Aug/22
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.

Okidoki said on 12/Aug/22
@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.

Bradley said on 10/Aug/22
Saw it. At a flat 5′ 6″ and a 5′ 8″ Sly in customs you get the picture.

Alex 6’0 said on 8/Aug/22
Would been interesting if i met G. Both in ny so still possibe. Hed definitely say I’m 6’2! Or at least 6’1.5

Big T said on 8/Aug/22
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.

Alex 6’0 said on 6/Aug/22
5’8.5 peak i think. Looked near 2 inches less than 5’10 Mr T

??? GEORGE LAWYER said on 6/Aug/22
💥💥 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.

Becheese said on 5/Aug/22
Watching Rambo 2 he’s still 2” shorter than 6-1 crenna and slys in his custom boots. Sly was and is a short guy. 5-8 max

Rukmini Singh said on 28/Jul/22
Doesn’t Looks 5’8 Nowadays
Might Be 5’7.5 I Guess This Days

Bradley said on 18/Jul/22
He was over 6 feet in his custom heeled and wedged Rambo boots.

berta said on 23/Jun/22
never nder 175 peak thats just ridicolous. and never over 177 that why i go with about 176 peak. today i think he still will measure 174 ore a couple mm over.

Voorhees Myers said on 22/Jun/22
Too many people who knew him personally say he’s 5-8 barefoot. He was only tall in his crazy footwear. 5-8 peak.

Abdul177cm said on 7/Jun/22
172 cm

Parker said on 7/Jun/22
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.

Bradley said on 5/Jun/22
Stealth helps for da G wisdom. G claimed 5′ 8″ for himself for years until he was prooved, er proved, to be a height liah. He was 5′ 6.5″ in all his pictures after a long trek from the Bronx to get the evening scribbles. “Sal, remembah the mustad for my Nathan’s, it is getting hungry in dis Volvo bed to not lose height when da Scot measures me soon”. Sly has never over 5′ 8.5″ in bare feet in his life.

MJKoP said on 5/Jun/22
Pierre said on 4/Jun/22
Um… I wonder if Glenn is still 5’6.5″ these days,some guys lose height younger than other and his 5’6.5″ measurement was made around a decade and a half ago.And this stadiometer was generous for a few millimeters if memory serves(Of course Sly was in regular shoes next to him:)
Editor Rob
He’s near 50 and been workin the streets of NYC for decades. Wouldn’t rule out a small fraction by now
He IS 50. Turned it in April. Saw that recent post on his facebook and I was *soooo* tempted to chime in, especially what with the sycophants who populate his comments sections.
Also love the Glennism: “no hidden shoe lifts. I checked lol.”
Um, how can he possibly check for them if they’re hidden? Did he yank Sly’s boots off and reach in? LOL
Sly himself claims only 5’10” these days, so I can only imagine G getting into a fight with Sly(again) over what Sly’s actual height is…and then asking Sly if he’s met his postman.
G is tenacious, if nothing else. 🙂

burby said on 4/Jun/22
Sly has nice stealth on with da G.

Okidoki said on 4/Jun/22
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.

Joe Ponce said on 3/Jun/22
I’m seeing him at a peak of either 5’9 ¼” or 5’9 ½”. Rob?

Bradley said on 3/Jun/22
G was 5′ 6.5″ with Sly who was 5′ 8.5″

@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.

MJKoP said on 21/May/22
Tech noir said on 20/May/22
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.

If she was 5’9″ peak how explain in good posture she looks noticiably shorter than Sly Click Here Click Here Click Here
WOW…….for someone that uses the excuse of ‘advantageous shoes’ in nearly every post written, that really is an ironic question Pierre.
He came full circle in trying to debunk Sly being at least 5’9″ by basically conceding that Sly wears lifts to look taller than 5’9″ women in heels.

Okidoki said on 10/May/22
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.

viper said on 1/May/22
Can’t go any higher than 5-8 peak

Yehor said on 28/Apr/22
About 5’9” in his prime, maybe a little bit less )
5’8”+ – now.
Surely, average for his day ‘n’ time, could look tallish due to good proportions and smart footwear etc )
Sly, the legend )

Bradley said on 26/Apr/22
He’ll be 5-8 forever, his knees have cement in them.

Bradley said on 23/Apr/22
Vince uses an elevated ramp with The Rock and Sly uses nothing with the Dolphster and the Hulkster. Go figger.

Duhon said on 21/Apr/22
Stallone’s an odd guy he fudges his own height to claim taller but then has massive guys like Hulk Hogan and Dolph Lundgren stand on literal boxes with him.

Bradley said on 16/Apr/22
Probably money.

houss said on 16/Apr/22
I think the tallest he looked was in jadge dredd , he looked over 6′ , I don’t know what was inside those boots

Bradley said on 15/Apr/22
He’ll always say 5-10. I can hear him now “I’m 5-10, have you met your postman and knows hiz height?”. He’s about 2″ off in 2022. G-zuss.

Leighton Tang said on 15/Apr/22
If Stallone’s elevator shoes were 4.5 inches thick, then he would be 6’1.5″ when wearing them in his peak and 6’0 3/4″ today. Yet, he looks much shorter than that.

Bradley said on 12/Apr/22
He was 5 foot 8 and 1/2 barefoot in all the Rambo films. Sly’s boots were custom made with huge wedge inside. He had to be up to 6 foot with the 6 foot actors.

Tech noir said on 11/Apr/22
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.

Bradley said on 27/Mar/22
Hanging at 5-8. Cement in his knees.

Mike voorhees said on 26/Mar/22
Today imo he’s sub 5-8.

Okay. Whatever you say. Opinions are opinions. Still no conclusive statements. I’m not going to reference whatever you’ve stated. Cold day in hell. Why should I? If you haven’t bothered with any of my findings. In spite of that and apart from me, it would have been helpful. Maybe we should just appreciate your “citations.” But, whatever!
Speaking of which, I don’t know who this Glenn person is your mentioning?
What are you delusional? How do you know Rob agrees with you? He may just like the back and forth and the hits it brings. In fact, I’d like to hear what Rob’s verdict is? What do you think Rob? All in all, good day to you sirs.
Dude, Rob’s assessment is literally in big bold numbers at the top of this page. Are you really trying to infer that Rob doesn’t even believe in his own listings and simply purports them for the sake of site traffic via banter? It’s pretty easy to ascertain Glenn’s identity and his role in all of this, but suffice to say even *he’d* call such a hypothesis nutty.
Good day to you, too, sir.

I’m going to assume that Sly has his legs three feet apart since he’s wearing lifts.

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.

Jared Tyler said on 2/Mar/22
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.

He really looks 5’7 ish with dolph. 5’9-10 stuff is his Hollywood height and he should have did time for his 5’11 claim lol
Dolph was standing on a platform to exaggerate the height difference, this is well documented. Sly was at least 5’9″ back then.

Bradley said on 25/Feb/22
In wedged up heeled footwear he was 5′ 11″ in Rocky.

In the movie Rocky (1976) he looked 5 “11

Ian C. said on 19/Feb/22
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.

Bradley said on 18/Feb/22
Showbiz Cheat Sheet just mentioned this site and put up the 5′ 10.5″ N.Y. Times whopper and the current height on here. I hope Sly digs getting the publicity and this site.

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.

Mike voorhees said on 6/Feb/22

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.

BoobleGooble said on 3/Feb/22
174.5-175.5cm peak and 173cm now

Bradley said on 2/Feb/22
Jason doesn’t wear the custom wedged up footwear that Sly wears, he’ll own him even at around 5′ 8″.

Mattyboy said on 31/Jan/22
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.

Omar174cm said on 30/Jan/22
He is currently i think like jason statham and jcvd around 174cm max maybe his peak was 5ft9 as he claimed 5ft10.5 back then who knows!!

Bradley said on 30/Jan/22
Nobody questioned the 5′ 10″ lie or even thought of custom wedge and lifts, they all got fooled. G-zuss, wake up in ’22.

Mattyboy said on 29/Jan/22
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.

Mike voorhees said on 29/Jan/22
Sly 5-8 peak arnie 6-0.5 peak.

RR said on 29/Jan/22
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.

Bradley said on 28/Jan/22
The Planet G…..where even after measured you lie.

Avrheighy said on 27/Jan/22
On what planet does sly think anyone would believe he’s 5’10 let alone the 1/2 lol

Mattyboy said on 21/Jan/22
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.

Bradley said on 19/Jan/22
He was 5′ 8.5″ peak, not much under now.

V for 1984 said on 19/Jan/22
Not totally convinced he was a actually 5-9 peak. Maybe just under.

Bradley said on 9/Jan/22
5 feet 10 in a pair of Portman’s available used in the Bronx. I wonder if he ever used a Bieber Board on publicity shots or a Vin ramp board with close-ups with The Rock…..both proven to be true in photographs of Biebs and Vin.

RR said on 3/Jan/22
Haha! That was priceless. The first sentence even ryhmied. Agreed, it was very noticeable he was dragging clunkers in Rambo. The arrogant attitude/character was spot-on too. Once a lift wearer, always a lift wearer.

burby said on 3/Jan/22
I saw Driven again yesterday, just laughing as Sly has to jump up in order to push Kip Pardue after that illegal street racing scene… “He’s awlmost fwive eleven, you downgradahs!!!”

Bradley said on 2/Jan/22
I cut through the G-nuts and peanuts in 0-6 here with the same lines. His Rambo boots in the film were loaded up, as were his Rocky boxing footwear with immense camera angle help. I still wonder what he’d say to his height in ’22….probably 5-10 “cantcha see, have you met your postman?”

Rising174cm said on 2/Jan/22
@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.

RR said on 1/Jan/22
@Bradley
Way to go cutting through the noise. 😄👍👌

Arch Stanton said on 1/Jan/22
Him claiming 5’10 and a half and 5’10 and 3/4 might have been the two inch Hollywood rule…. I don’t know why people think he was as short as 5 ft 7 though. 5’10 in shoes seems about right, not as short as many think.

Bradley said on 30/Dec/21
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.

Alan mctavish said on 29/Dec/21
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.

Tanguy Collineau said on 20/Dec/21
In the movie rocky 1, there is a scene with burt young’s 5’7 and usual dressing shoes and sly with boxing shoes walking in the slaughterhouse / abattoir and they are barely same height. 173 cm peak height!

Duhon said on 4/Dec/21
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.

Parker said on 30/Nov/21
Rising174cm said on 18/Nov/21
As of this past week, Burt Young has lost way more height than Sly! Click Here I know he’s 6 years older, but it’s safe to say that Sly’s height has held up much better even relative to their ages.
I would not be surprised if Sly still measured 5’8.5 lunchtime

Az said on 30/Nov/21
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?

V for 1984 said on 28/Nov/21
Haha it’s impossible to gauge. He’s looked 5-11 to 5-7. He’s the lucky dip height master. 5-8.5 peak imo

Bradley said on 22/Nov/21
Sly will never get below 5′ 8″.. Burt has lost lots.

Rising174cm said on 9/Nov/21
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.

MaskDeMasque 5’9.5 said on 7/Nov/21
Watched the final Rambo film last night. A 73 year old Stallone is still looking 5’8 maybe 5’8.25. 5’9 peak seems very likely.

Bradley said on 4/Nov/21
On Kojak he was 5′ 8.5″ barefoot with some boots to boot. He tried to beat the golden Greek but Telly pinched his cheek and showed him his customs and went “who loves ya baby, nice try”.

Gonna guess maybe 5’8⅞” for his prime

bmb said on 17/Oct/21
@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.

Frank R1 said on 16/Oct/21
In the film “Nighthawks” (1981), Stallone appears to be exactly the same height as the legit 5’9″ Lindsay Wagner.

Good Day to you

RR said on 10/Oct/21
@Cjcjcj
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.
Buona giornata amico,

I think that American have to think anout milions of died in Afghanistan, homeless, unemployment, very bad social system, very bad, health system, in these questione Americans lie

Ian C. said on 9/Oct/21
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.

Cjcjcj said on 8/Oct/21
@RR American are obsessed versus stupid things lie of 2 3 cm is not very serious. Stallone is under 5 ft 9 and with bad proportion, for this has a fame of lift wearer. But I think that everyone has a freedom to wear that he want

Westbound on Olympic said on 7/Oct/21
Shorter than you believe if you met him for real. 5-8.5 peak

RR said on 7/Oct/21
Everyone knows he’s a frequent user of lifts and a pretty bad liar. Ask yourself; why would anyone who stands 5’9 or 5’10 be wearing lifts in the first place? Sylvester “Sly Height” Stallone is half-witted as they come.

Bradley said on 6/Oct/21
He was in boots to battle the golden Greek. Telly wore custom bricks throughout the series.

MichaelMyers said on 4/Oct/21
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.

Well on Instagram he posted a pic of Hogan standing on a platform and in the comments was asked his height. He still claims 5’10” even today. Big G couldn’t contain himself and he gleefully backed him up, saying that he was 3 inches taller than his 5’8″ frame. To which he was asked, wouldnt that make you 5’7″?. nono, SLy was 5’11” in person, to which someone responded, yes and you’re 5’6″ 5/8ths in person 🙂

RR said on 26/Sep/21
Mr. Sly’s height at the peak of his life was a weak 5 ft 8 or rather 5ft 7 ¾. Now he’s currently 5 ft 6. Wears 3 inch lifts to look closer to 5 ft 9.

MichaelMyers said on 20/Sep/21
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.

MaskDeMasque 5’9.5 said on 20/Sep/21
5’7 guesses are crazy. Absolute min he could be is 5’8.5 but 5’9 or 5’8.75 peak is more likely.

Pieter said on 5/Sep/21
Guess Sylvester Stalone’s actual height as 5’7”

QM6’1.5″ said on 3/Sep/21
Agreed with guys below.
Sly’s height is like “Mission impossible”.
1st picture – he’s 5’11, next one he’s 5’8″ … And we have many events both with Arnold when Sly almost the same height.
It depends from everything, but he isn’t short (not un 5’7 anyway) and def taller than RD Jr 🙂

In rocky 1 he looks 6-1 lol. He’s a ultimate magician of height!! Seen him recently on social media and looks to under 5-8 lol. I’d say it’s impossible to say. Probably a 5-8 or 5-9 approx guy.

Bradley said on 31/Aug/21
The Stinker is correct about peak, however; his height now is 5′ 8″ or as listed.

Stinky 186 cm said on 29/Aug/21
This guy is honestly impossible to pin that cause he can look 5’ 11” at times and other times he can look as short as 5’ 6” it’s honestly insane how much this guy varies in height I’m gonna average it out and say he was about 5’ 8 1/2” at peak and now is about 5’ 7 1/2”

I don’t think he had a significant edge on De Niro in Copland actually, he and Kurt Russell though can look pretty close too.

man 1 said on 13/Jul/21
I thought he was a big guy after watching Rocky 1.
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.

Dr Decker said on 12/Jul/21
Just under 5-8 peak

Sinclair said on 5/Jul/21
I’d say 5’9.5” peak, easily edges out Robert de Niro in Copland and I thought he had at least one inch on Antonio Banderas in Assassins. I would have settled for 5’9.25” had I not seen Stallone with Don Johnson, Stallone looks so much taller than DJ in photos, DJ was at least 5’9” and both men were known to regularly wear lifts so I wouldn’t count much difference in their footwear.

Hotspots said on 22/Jun/21
Hard to see over 5-9 peak. Now hard to see barefoot over 5-8.

Alex 6’0 said on 21/Jun/21
Ive seen guys 5’8 range or even between 5’7-5’8 claim 5’10 lol. If you’re 5’9 you could pass 5’10 but 5’7-5’8 claiming it is bad.

Nik Ashton said on 16/Jun/21
@ Catherine roberts – Could be, some guys of 5’8” claim to be 5’11” too and even 6’0” on occasions. Yes, 5’10” may be the start of what a lot of people think is the “Big Misters range” but “Big Misters” can be any height in my eyes, I know you will agree. 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”!

Catherine roberts said on 15/Jun/21
Why do guys that are 5ft8 or so always claim to be 5ft10? Is it because it’s the start of the tall height.

DDH said on 7/Jun/21
67 inches sounds about right.

RR said on 6/Jun/21
Someone considered to be 5 ft 9 wouldn’t be called short. Sixty-seven inches, translates to roughly 5 ft 7 give or take.
Some people call me Romeo; other people call me Romel.

Arnold at his prime really dwarfed him, I’d say 174 at best for prime. For today’s I have no idea tho.

Hotspots said on 2/Jun/21
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.

viper said on 27/May/21
He’s always been 5-7
5-9 is laughable

5’10 Dude said on 27/May/21
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.

Hotspots said on 25/May/21
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.

RR said on 3/May/21
@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.

Arch Stanton said on 2/May/21
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.

Bradley said on 1/May/21
Great shots double R. We needed you in ’06 on this Stallone forum. 5′ 8.5″ it is with T. Hotspots knows the truth.

Hotspots said on 29/Apr/21
He’s been a user of lifts for years. The 2.5” – 3” boost is useful for a 5-8.5 guy.

Stacy said on 9/Feb/21
Look at the femur and the width of shoulders. 5’8″ maximum. He has fusions in the neck and he has very good posture, which makes him appear taller and reach average height for men. I find that men put down their desired height rather than the actual height. They look ridiculous and you have to wonder what is up with their ego or confidence, to feel they need to lie about it. I’m a tall woman and have been told my entire life “men are bigger and stronger than women” and was forced to shrink down as much as possible. Embrace your height. Hug a tall woman, you feel better instantly for 2 main reasons…lol
