I may be a weaker 6'5" than Stern and that is similar to how I look next to 6'1" range guys.

With 6'5.25" Howard Stern. Stern seems to make everyone look lower than their stated heights.

@Editor Rob: Is the plan to give him 6'1.25 peak and 6'0.75 current when he looks to be dipping under 6'1 a bit? Surely he could have dropped at least a fraction by 64.

The original Ghost Busters is a film where he looks to be barely hitting the 6'1" mark, a solid inch under Ramis and no taller than Aykroyd. Something like The Spy Who Knew Too Little, he can look near 6'2". There's a good chance he be 6'1.25" at peak still.

It must be stated that with the Ghostbusters, Murray looked as listed, definitely no taller than Akroyd and edged out by Ramis.

I agree he generally looked more 186-187cm than 185cm at peak, but Rob is right, he was never 6'2 range, look at him with Chevy Chase who has now said he was "like 6ft3.5" at the time.
I do think we should bring him up to 186, though. Rob says he might have occasionally wore lifts, which, if true would explain him looking closer to 6'2 at times. I've always thought he looked 186-7, Rob had him 6'1, but you could argue 6ft1.5, the 1.25 would be a good compromise. He was marginally taller than Akroyd, who certainly wasn't under 185.(If he was, that is bad news for Jimmy Fallon!)

@Editor Rob: Besides the fact that he has looked 186 cm, a 64 year old man is likely to have lost a little height, so maybe you should just give him the 186 cm peak height as he still to this day pulls off 185 cm.

He looked about 3 cm taller than Edward Norton in 2012, both wearing regular dress shoes. Bruce Willis in comparison looked at least 6 cm shorter than Bill and 3 cm shorter than Norton. I'd guess them at 185, 182 and 179 respectively. Norton stood a little behind in a few shots though, so near 183 is possible.

I wonder if age is finally starting to catch up to Murray, near Frances McDormand recently in Olive Kittridge, he could seem a bit sub-6'1" in some scenes.
I'd bet his body weight was 180 lbs. range in younger years, 185-200 range the last 15 years or so. Looked a bit heavier in Rushmore, slenderer in Broken Flowers.

I have to concede that Bill and Dan are the same height, or that the minimal difference is indistinguishable. I am satisfied with the evidence in the SNL Superhero video.
So now that we know that Bill and Dan were near-enough the same height, how come Bill looks over 6'1" nowadays with Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, John Goodman, George Clooney and Matt Damon? Well, Rob's comment to Sam could possibly be the answer.

It is true, in both Ghosbusters and SNL, there's no height difference between Murray and Dan Aykroyd. Also, I thought Ramis clearly edged out Murray by almost an inch in Ghostbusters..its only recently that Murray has started to pull off seeming taller, from Rushmore to The Monuments Men, he can seem 186-187 cm, 185 cm-ish back 30 years ago...weird.

@mcfan: The first video with Aykroyd, yeah, they do look pretty similar in that. But in the heckler video with Letterman, he only looks shorter than Letterman because Letterman is closer to the camera. The same rule applies to videos at it does with photos. If someone is close to the camera it will make them appear taller.

He is 63 years old he is clearly taller than john goodman who is listed 185. Looks about 2-3 cm taller. But goodman because of his weight is probalb yonly 184 now but that makes murray 186,5 and if goddman is 185 then murray is almost 188. At the age of 63 he may have lost 1 cm. I think Peak height should be 187. Not a full 188 but close to it and now strong 186. There is something with his posture in the neck that makes me think about the alexander technice. SO he probably havent lost more than 1 cm if he even have lsot anything. But eitherway. Lowest i can see os 186. And on a good day 187 For now!! In peak maybe 0,7 cm taller ore something like that

Rob, what convinced to downgrade Murray? Back in Ghostbusters, I really think he comes off as no more than 6'1", he is shorter than Ramis and no taller than Akyroyd or Hudson. However, I don't know if he's worked on improving his posture, but he just seems taller on screen and in pictures more recently (Rushmore/Lost in Translation onward). Also, I have a family friend who met him and noted how much taller he seemed in person, 6'2" or 6'3" they thought. Strange that he gets sighted as taller than he seems, the opposite of the usual that celebs are often shorter than one thinks in person.

Strange that he gets sighted as taller than he seems, the opposite of the usual that celebs are often shorter than one thinks in person.

I would say there is 4 or so cm between him and Norton. In my mind Norton is a 182 cm guy, and Willis can look 178-179 cmrange these days. Murray could actually be 186 cm. I don't see a 2 cm difference between Norton and Murray. So if Murray is really 185, Norton is 181 cm range.

I watched again some of his movies and I have to change my mind, the guy seems to be a bit above 6'1 in truth.
He looked pretty tall in Scrooged, definitely 6'1.25, clearly taller than legit 6'0 John Glover.
He was an hair taller than 6'1 Aykroid but not quite as tall as 6'1.5 Ramis in Ghostbusters.
Plus, he seems to hold his own very well also next to the huge Tim Robbins (who is nothing less than 195cm).
What do you think Rob, is 6'1.25 possible? He seems to be a very strong 6'1.

I don't know about the peak of 6'1.5. I suppose it's possible, if Letterman was a full 6'2. If he was 6'1.5 as he's listed though, then Murray must have been around 6'.5 - 6'1.
Click Here
If you pause that clip at 1:11, you can see Letterman and Murray both with straight posture looking right at each other and the difference is clearly at least 1/2". Of course, maybe one of them had slightly more shoe or had gotten up later or something, but it certainly casts doubt on the 6'1.5 thing and shows that the people saying he was only 6'.5 could be onto something. Still, 6'1.5 does seem possible.

Since she is very petite, Lucy Liu probably perceives people over 6 feet as pretty gigantic I'd venture to guess, especially someone with good posture like Murray. I took 6'4" to be a bit of a deliberate exaggeration.

Y would lucy liu lie about his height? Like 6 foot 4 and he is only 6 foot 1. There is something wrong here. He must wear crazy lifts. Letterman is definitely taller. 6 foot 1.

What I'm saying and have been saying for over a year now is, how can Murray be 6'1.5 when he is clearly an inch shorter than Dave Letterman (stated as 6'1.5 here), arguably the same height as 6'1 Aykroyd, an inch shorter than 6'2 John Candy, 3 inches shorter than Chevy Chase, and an inch shorter than 6'2 Harold Ramis? Wouldn't it be common sense that this guy was only a max of 6'1?
Rob, I just watched an old episode of SNL now available on Netflix where Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Dan Aykroyd are all standing side by side playing singers of a fictitiouos 50s , musical group. Again, my memory is pretty darn accurate: Murray and Aykroyd looked/look the same height. There are however times when Aykroyd stands straight, and I don't know, but maybe there is some truth to SNL's logging of Dan as 6'1 and Bill 6'0.5...it's close. I view Aykroyd and Murray the same way as I view Lennon and McCartney as where you have two guys with good posture (McCartney and Murray) and two guys with bad posture (Lennon and Aykroyd). Bill Murray was never over 6'1. If he was then David Letterman was indeed 6'2.5, John Candy 6'2.5, Chevy 6'4, and Dan Aykroyd 6'1.5.
I have never seen a single photograph of Bill Murray looking 6'2. He is 6'0.5...6'1 range.

My memory is that Letterman was 1 inch taller than Murray...going back to the 80s and 90s when I watched his show. Whether Dave has shrunk, I don't know. Dave did stand back to back with Carl Reiner and they were the same height. Dave stated 6'2.5 as his height. That's probably with his loafers.

Bill Murray's heights are:
---PEAK---
Morning (out of bed)= 6'1.25" (1.86 m)
After 1,5-3 hrs= 6'0.75" (1.85 m)
After 5-10 hrs= 6'0.5" (1.84 m)
Today he's in the 1.82-1.84 range! I don't think he has ever been 6'1.5" (1.87 m), also at his peak!

For SNL to list that, Bill must have told them he was only 6'0.5 and Dan 6'1. To me they look the same height at about 6'1.

I agree with MsKitty. Remember, their heights as per SNL in 1980 were Bill 6'0.5 and Dan Aykroyd 6'1. That picture shows Dan's head a hair above Bill's, but to the uncareful observer, you could get the misimpression that Dan is shorter because his head is tilted down and eyes below Bill's. My argument here is with the peak claim of 6'1.5, which is clearly wrong.

Bill Murray was not taller than Dan Aykroyd during any of the Ghostbusters, nor is he. They're the same height. John Candy was 1-inch taller than both of them as was Harold Ramis.

OK, if John Candy is 6'2 then why does Bill Murray look at least an inch shorter than him in "Stripes?" Check out the scene where John Candy and him are with the mud wrestling women. Even when John steps into the ring barefoot, he looks a hair taller than the shoe-wearing Murray. Bill Murray was never 6'1.5 and why was he listed as 6'0.5 by SNL in '80'?

I've met Bill Murray here and he's about 6'3". (I'm 6'4") I was surprised and found that he has great posture. He plays a schlubby everyman (even in interviews on TV- Letterman et al.) so we see him in that personna and he seems shorter and even goofier. But he's not like that. I've also met Dan Akroyd who hosts a show on our station called the House of Blues Radio Hour. Dan is about 6'0. He makes a great Vodka (Crystal Skull)

I'm a radio show host here in San Diego. I've met Bill a couple of times. I'm 6'4" He's about 6'2.5" Probably was an easy 6'3" in 1995. He slouches in characters that we see on TV. He's actually got great posture and it surprised me that he was so tall. I noticed that he does act a bit "schlubby" when he goes into the BILL MURRAY personna we are used too and then he starts slouching and being "Mr. Everyguy"... that's why we don't see him being so tall. And on camera, he slouches in chairs to be eye-level with TALK SHOW HOSTS... (Letterman, et al.) I've met Danny Akroyd too. Danny hosts the House of Blues Radio Hour. Dan is about 6'.

How do you explain this?
Click Here
Just pause at 1:15.
We all know that Letterman was 6'1.5 at most, if Bill was 6'1.5 too then Letterman was 6'2.5, because he looks at least 1 inch taller than Bill in this video.
But 6'2.5 barefoot for Letterman is impossible.
So 6'1 max for Murray, could be as low as 6'0.75 at late night.

To be perfectly honest. Nowadays I can't see Harold Ramis as the 6ft2 that everyone thinks he is. I used to think that guy was 6ft4 due to his lanky frame. Nowadays he just doesn't look quite that tall next to other 6ft2 guys like John Cusack or Clive Owen. Peak I can see Ramis at 6ft2 but I'm not quite sure nowadays. He looked over an inch shorter than 6ft3 Brendan Fraser. But he still looks marginally taller than Bill Murray. I'd say as of today Murray is 186cm and Ramis is 187cm. I beleive Dan Aykroyd would also be in the same range as Murray heightwise.

6'5" for Murray??? Come on, he's still in the average rage of human height. He looked only 2 inches taller than Woody Harrelson who is 5'11" at his peak. So the 6'1" claim could be right for Murray. He even doesn't look tall.

6ft2-6ft3 is laughable. 6ft2 isn't impossible during his prime. I think there is a fair chance he's still between 6ft1 and 6ft2.

6'1 is accurate, just watching ghostbusters scene where sigourney is in normal flat shoes and him, and he has at least 2 inches on her standing straight

Haven't seen that film in a while James. Bill did look quite tall in it as far as I remember. I don't think he's under 6ft1 though. I think he could've been 6ft2 or very close at his peak.

Tobolowsky looked an inch taller than Bill Murray in Groundhog Day so 6'1" for Murray and 6'2" for Tobolowsky makes sense.

I was at a wee heroes event and Stephen Tobolowsky was there, he had a few good tales about Bill Murray. Anyway, he himself said that Bill is a tall man, "like me...6-3, 6-4!"
Tobolowsky himself didn't look his 6ft 3 claim, more 6ft 2 range.

5ft11.75 illusion. Always looks at least 6ft1 to me. Glenn, he probably had bad posture when you saw him last? I think 188cm is a possibility.

He didn't seem tall to me. I mean, I already thought that 6'1" was upgraded for Bill. He looked more 6' to me but Brian's statement surprizes me.

In his early movies he did look around 6ft2. Stripes, Caddy Shack, Ghostbusters. He was the same height as Harold Ramis is 6ft2 minimum. Bill Murray could've been 6ft2.

Maybe James. I wouldn't rule out 6ft2 as his peak. Not nowadays though. I hear heard he's a nasty piece of work.

In Meatballs,which was made in 1978 and released in 1979,he didn't really look over 6'1 at all. He actually looked above-average tall there and yet 2 years later he looked tall in Stripes. So he wore lifts in those combat boots,or maybe he grew some more at the age of 30.

I will confess Hugh that he did look quite tall in those movies but Murray ever being a 6'2 guy, I'm very skeptical of.

Candy was definately 6ft2 if not 6ft3. Murray I'd say was a strong 6ft1 at his peak.

During the late 70s, Murray did some stuff with Canadian comics Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty and John Candy as part of the Second City Troup in Toronto and Murray looked about the same height as Candy. I doubt Candy was quite 6'2" but maybe 6'1" and change. Flaherty looked taller but he's much thinner. Levy was at least 3 - 4 inches shorter.
If I recall, a tiny little Martin Short did some stuff with them too. They played it up by having him lie in a bed with fake legs about a foot long. Genius.

Chevy Chase was on Howard Stern the other day, and the infamous Murray/Chase fight came up. Apparently Belushi got involved in it, and Chevy listed what he considered everyone's height to be, just to prove the difference in height between the guys: Belushi at 5ft7, Murray at either 6ft or 6ft1, and himself at 6ft3.5.
I have to say that all of these heights seem spot on to me, especially if considered as barefoot heights.
