A good 173 cm is likely for Andy. He looks slightly shorter than Jackie Chan and taller than Donnie yen.

@Editor Rob How tall do you think Nicholas Tse is? On google it says 175cm but on some photos he's as tall as Donnie Yen and some photos as tall as Andy Lau.

I don't think there's any reason to think he is shorter than 5'8 particularly if you compare him to say Matt Damon. Asian celebrities are generally taller than average. They are less likely to 6'4, but the 5'8 to 5'10 range is normal for leading men. Heightism is a thing in Asia! I think Aaron Kwok is more 5'7...Leon Lai is easily 5'10 or 5'11

Actually Felix Is correct.
Andy lau is max 1.7m, 5.7' max, my wife seen him before.
One of HK big 4, li Ming (Leon Lai) is around 1.75m, I have seen him in person.
With him standing with Andy Lau, they are indeed 2 inches apart.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 11/Jan/19
Maybe he really is 5'8 although i previously thinking of 172cm. Kind of possible still closer to 5'8 1/2 when Lau was younger in those decades ago HK movies.

@Rob,
With Donnie Yen's height having been brought closer to his actual height, there can't be any way this listing for Andy's right. They are REALLY close in height from what I've seen. He can't be nearly two-inches taller than Donnie Yen.

Editor Rob I still would put Lau taller, but yeah he might be just 1 inch taller, I think the maximum I could argue is 173, but will have a look at him again at some point.

@whatever, I, too, think he's at least an inch smaller than currently listed. You do have to realize, though, that you're going to have to provide more evidence than "I have studied his height for years" to get the listing changed. Simply stating such a thing is not how you get heights lowered, here. If you can find some photographic or video evidence, then you can negoitated with Rob to bring the listing more in line with reality. Barring that, providing what you have (basically nothing) isn't going to merit a change.

He was in Flushing, NY around 1998, when he released a new CD. His hair was blond. I am 5'8" and he is shorter than me by about 1.5-2". Look at him in movies. He wears shoes that have high lifts.

Anon did a good job with the photos of Aaron Kwok and Zhang Ziyi. It's clear Aaron does not make it 170cms or 5'7" for sure. From the photos it's clear Aaron should be 2-3cms taller than Zhang Ziyi. Around 5'6" should be where Aaron is. May be 166 - 168 in cms. What do you guys say?

I saw Aaron Kwok three times in person. I am 168 cm tall with shoes on maybe close to 170cm. Aaron Kwok appear to be same height as me maybe not more than an inch taller. So I am guessing he is 171 cm with LIFT on...........
However, he appear to be taller on stage because of his proportional body. He even admit himself in an interview that he is half a head shorter than those TVB SIU SANG during his decade........so I think he stand around 165 cm.....as barefoot height.
Consider the facts that 170cm will probably average height for people who born in 60s. I think that Aaron Kwok is not as short as people thought. He is probably 2 inches shorter.

andy lau definitely doesnt stand at 5'8(173cm)
in my opinion n judging from pictures n movies of him standing wif others , he solidly stands at 5'7(170cm)....claims of 170cm or more could b n most probably due to his shoes or elevator wateva u can think of tht lift his height by any means...
n yes, i do agree with those earlier comments where asian stars tend to list their height more than wat they actually stand at.

Annon, if you look at the ground level, you can see that aaron is standing on a slightly lower ground. If Zhang ziyi is 5-4 to 5-5 on this site, Aaron kwok is somewhere around 5'6.

Dont know if you guys know this actor, but his name is Alex Fong Chung Sun. He is 182cm and that is a guaranteed truth. But other actors/actresses eh.... I agree with Yoyo that most of them are shorter than what they claim to be.

Can some body go home take a tape measure and pull it out until it says 5'10 (178cm) or 5'11(180cm) and put the tape against the wall, use your sense and try to realize how tall it is. I've read a lot of threads in this forum and most of them really crack me up when I see Nicholas is 175cm, Louis Koo is 181cm. And better yet, all Hong Kong TVB's actors are listed 180cm. I mean, come on, we're Asian and you think Ron Ng or Raymond Lam is as tall as Brad Pitt (180cm). Dream on people.

Normally Lau's shoes is 1 inches, and lift is about 1-2 inches depends on who he will stand with, it is what my friend told me! Can you explain why in early 90's Lau is so short? Because at that time there is no lift shoes!!!
If somebody have some pics that you or your friend with Lau, please post it. "Inner Lift Lau" always cheats, it is no doubt!

Here is a picture Andy Lau with Jet Li(164.5cm) and Jin Cheng Wu(Takeshi Kaneshiro). Andy Lau and Li did not wear lift. Jin's official height is 178cm, although he accepted he was only 176. I assume his height is 178cm, Lau is at least 3-4 inches shorter than him, therefore Lau is around 168cm, Max 170. The guy who siad I am wrong, what do you think. Because Lau always wear lift, so he looks not short!

By the way, When I was in HK, a lot of people said I was 6 feet, but I am only 178cm. I think everybody there exaggrates their height, so 5,10 in their opinion is 6 feet!

Somebody does not belive me, I post more image.
Hongkong stars real height equals their claim height minus 3-7cm. Hongkong BIG Four, Andy Lau 174(168-170), Li Ming 182 (176-178), Guo Fu Cheng 171(165-166), Zhang Xue You 175(170-172).
Andy Lau is at least 3-4inches shorter than max 178cm's Li Ming, Click Here Click Here

Fake 182cm Li Ming with Real 183cm Hu Bing who from mainland. Click Here
So if anybody insist Andy Lau is 174, I have nothing to say.
Not only Hongkong stars, all the people in South exaggrate their height because they are short. When I went to Hongkong, I(178cm) was a little taller(1-2cm) than a Hongkongnese who claims himself 6 feet.

Kelly Chen (Chen Hui Lin) is not 173, he is only about 170! her height just fit s others fake height. If Lau is 174 I will eat my hat! Liang Yong Qi is not 176, she is shorter than her 174's ex boyfriend Zheng Yi Jiang. Lau's nickname is China main land is Inner lift Liu! therefore you will know why sometimes he is not short! He is less than 170 now, I am very sure! Most Hongkong stars exaggerate their height, such as Li Ming 182cm(178), Guo Fu Cheng 170cm(166), Stephen Chow(Zhou Xing Chi) 174cm(166-167), Zhang Bai Zhi 165cm(158), Chen Guan Xi 178cm(172), Wu Yan Zu 186cm (183)

Dude, Andy Lau is 174 cm AT LEAST okay? The dude has starred in many movies alongside some really tall actresses (Kelly Chen (about 173cm tall) Gigi Leung (176 cm tall) and he has never appeared short in any of those films. He might have shrunk a little now since he is older, but I dun think its a lot. Young Andy = 174cm Old Andy (Now) = 172cm

My friend worked with Lau in Beijing before, he said he is suprised Lau is shorter than him. My friend claims he is 172cm, but I guess he is only 170cm.

Click Here just pass forward to 3 minutes 11 seconds. this is an old movie of Andy lau and tony leung standing next to each other with flat shoes, and they were about the same height or tony was even a lil taller. End of discussion.

174cm is right. Andy Lau has good body proportions and therefore can give the appearance of being taller in his movies.
Someone like Jackie Chan is the exact opposite, he is also 174cm but due to his stocky body and head size he is generally regarded as a short fellow.

174cm seems a little short. He seems much taller than Aaron Kwok who is listed as 172cm and always wears lifts. In his film, Yesterday Once More, his character is implied as being 5'10" tall.

My cousin used to work as an air hostess and saw him up close on one of her flights. She's 172cm and said he "looked short", around my height (which was around 168 at the time - in 1999 approx.). Most Asian celebrities embellish their heights on so-called "official" websites + wear lifts all the time when out in public. My sister went out with a minor celebrity who "officially" listed himself as 170cm in all his promotional material but he told her he was really only 164cm - and said everyone does it.

I doubt this - his frame is similar to Tom Cruise - both with slight shoulders. My guess: 5'7.5 or 172cm is much more accurate

I think he admitted that he is 171.5 cm. But sometimes when I read the paper and see his picture with other stars, the shoes he wears make him look like 180 cm.........

In a book published in Taiwan, featuring an interview with him, his height was listed as 172 CM. But that was in 1993.
