How tall is Bill Murray

Bill Murray's Height

6ft 1 (185.4 cm)

American actor best known for roles in Ghostbusters, GroundHog Day, Scrooged, Caddyshack, Stripes, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Rushmore and Lost in Translation. A 1990 article mentioned Murray "Isn't exactly svelte himself at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds" and Bill - when talking about the NBA in 1995 - said "I'm 6 foot 3 in my boots". Lucy Liu made Bill out to be enormous, claiming in Maxim Magazine "He's tall, like, 6'4", and I'm 5'3."

berta, Marlon is actually down here as 6ft0½
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Aug/23
At times 6ft1½ looked arguable. I suppose if we tweak Ramis and Tobolowski to just over 6ft2, it's somewhat more feasible.


Peak should definitely be listed 6ft1¼ and currently 6ft0¾. Done better than most 70+
5'7 and a fraction said on 22/May/23
Probably 184 today. Still looks like he's around the 6'0 range.
Matt6'4.5 said on 26/Mar/23
Consistently seemed an inch under Harold Ramis in “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters ”. Given that he’s almost 73 now, I’d say half inc to an inch loss is possible.
Jtm said on 25/Feb/23
he doesn't look taller to me at all. still believe 6'1 peak and 6'0ish now.
berta said on 24/Feb/23
Click Here check out from 1 minute mark. He clearly is still taller than guys like marlon wayans. Maybe wayans is not mutch over 6 foot?
Leighton Tang said on 17/Sep/22
Who do you think would measure taller between Bill Murray in his prime and Cristiano Ronaldo?
Editor Rob
Both are guys who unlikely fall below 6ft 1.
berta said on 3/Aug/22
186 peak legit and just under 185 today. need a peak height and current. clearyl little shorter today.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Jun/22
@viper: well you and I both know that's ridiculous...
viper said on 18/May/22
Matthew Fox was described as just being 6-0 in Party of five
JordanG said on 17/May/22
In the movie The Man Who Knew Too Little, his character is described as being 6'0. When reading the script, don't you guys think he'd ask to have it change to 6'1 or even 6'2 as some of you claim him to be?
Also, wasn't there an early SNL promotional piece that listed Bill as 6'0?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jan/22
I think he’s still roughly 185cm
J.Blaze said on 8/Jan/22
6'1.25 in his peak. He seemed to slightly edge out 6'1 Aykroyd in Ghostbusters.
V for 1984 said on 27/Dec/21
6-1 max peak. Now sub 6-0.
Henry G said on 24/Nov/21
I stood in line for a flight at MSP behind Bill Murray, I'm 6ft even and I was looking down at the top of his head. 5.8 to 5.9 max.
MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 said on 24/Nov/21
At least 6'1 peak, I wouldn't rule out 6'1.25. 6'1.5 is too much though.
berta said on 16/Nov/21
adam driver is not really under 189 and Murray 184,5 ( maybe 184,7 ish) today. there is almost 4,5 cm beetween them today and that is what it looked in the movie. Murray 6´1 1/4 peak and 6 3/4 today.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Oct/21
184.5-185cm today looks likely
Wayne Fan said on 4/Oct/21
6'1 now with peak a bit over 6'2.
berta said on 25/Sep/21
Just over 186 peak and could pull of 6'1 1/2 often but i Belize 186 was his real height. Today almost 185. Lost little over 1 cm in height.

🎂🎈🎊🎁 Happy Birthday Bill! 🎁🎊🎈🎂

Wishing Bill Murray, who shone so brightly when he starred with Scarlett Johansson in 'Lost In Translation', and looked so huge next to her, a wonderful 71st Birthday today!

6ft1.5. 😉👌🍻😁👍 XXX

186cm peak is long overdue, today likely 184-185cm

If anyone was 6'1 it was Bill Murray. He has looked consistently tall in all his films. Very well proportioned guy.
Eric W Tam said on 19/May/21
if Bill is 6'4 I'm also 6'4 in good ol' Cowboy boots yee haw
Jamie 1998 said on 18/May/21
He held onto his height very well. He made it to like 65 without losing anything noticeable. I think now at 70 years old he has lost at most half an inch, but maybe even less.
simon L said on 20/Mar/21
@Sulu2021 I don't know where you're getting your data from but 6'1 is definitely not the 70th percentile for American males. It is somewhere around the 90th percentile.
Sulu2021 said on 18/Mar/21
6ft 1 is the 69th to 70th percentile for American adult males. This site has about 30% of celebrity males listed at 6ft 1 or taller in terms of their peak height. This makes me think that at least 30% of American adult males are 6ft 1 or taller.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Mar/21
Looks under 6ft with Adam Driver!


Don't think he's really that short but he could be heading under 6ft1 now...
QM6'1QM said on 6/Feb/21
6'1" peak!
gobaboba said on 17/Dec/20
Is this really a 1.25 inch difference between Adam Driver (listed 6'2.25) and Bill Murray? Click Here
Editor Rob
murray could be 184cm nowadays.
viper said on 10/Dec/20
Just because Murray looked 6-2 in that pic doesn't make it so.

He's 6-1
Jtm said on 8/Dec/20
I just watched the dead don’t die and really 6’0 flat is the most he is now and still not buying he was over 6’1 peak like many other posters
Height_Master said on 5/Dec/20
My uncle who is a tad over 5’ 9.5” meet Bill Murray 4 years ago at the World Series. I saw pictures of him with Murray and Murray looked 6’ 2” standing next to him. I’m guessing his peak was 6’ 2.5”.
TJE said on 4/Nov/20
Rob, how big would you say is his eye level?
Editor Rob
maybe 4.75-4.9 range
berta said on 23/Oct/20
looked the average guess at peak. strong 186 guy. today just under 185.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 21/Sep/20
🎁🎂🎈🎉 Happy 70th Birthday! 🎉🎈🎂🎁

Wishing Bill Murray a Happy Big 7-0 today! My favourite of his films has to be 'Lost In Translation'; he looks enormous next to 5ft3 Scarlett Johansson.

6ft1.5 😁

Almost 180cm guy said on 21/Sep/20
Bill just turned 70! I think now is a good time to give hin a peak height and a current height. Rob, do you give him a peak height 6ft 1.25 and a current height 6ft 0.75 now? It seems a loss of half an inch is very likely for Bill today.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Sep/20
Dunno about Murray edging Arnold peak. People on here just have it in for Arnie and deliberately downplay his height that it was all hype.

They have been close at peak but I still put my chips on the Austrian Oak having the edge on Bill
viper said on 13/Sep/20
Arnold was 186cm as well IMO
viper said on 9/Sep/20
He had 3 inches minimum on Matt Dillon in Wild Things

Dillon isn't 5-10 3/4

He's MAX 5-10
viper said on 9/Sep/20
IMO definitely 186cm minimum
Dmeyer said on 8/Sep/20
he deserves 186cm peak height , but rob seem to think otherwize , it wouldnt shok me if if was 1/8 in over Arnold peak
Bazza said on 1/Aug/20
187 is plausible in the early 80s when he was around 30 but later on 6'1 flat is about right.
Hulk23 said on 25/Jul/20
6’1/185cm when he was young for sure I’d say. Today maybe he has lost something but really a small amount maybe even less than a quarter of an inche...
Jtm said on 14/Jul/20
He was once listed 6'0. I doubt that was his peak height but that seems about right for his current height at nearly 70. He was actually shorter than Richard Jenkins in Olive kitteridge but again not sure about the foot wear.
viper said on 13/Jul/20
186cm

I think 187cm may be pushing it a bit imo
Spencer said on 11/Jul/20
187 cm peak
pov said on 16/Jun/20
Rob he looks a solid 6”1. I’d give him 6”1.5 peak. He’s listed as 187cm on google. I’d say he looks around 186cm at least in his prime. Definitely would have measured over 185cm IMO
berta said on 2/Jun/20
nah he havent lost 1 inch he almost still looks same height still. i think went from 186 ( and measured 190,5 in big boots like he say) and today is excatly 185, weak 6´1. Held up very well. will turn 70 years and only lost 1 cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/May/20
Chris, has he dropped a full inch though?

I don't know if he really has lost more than 1-2cm.

Maybe 6ft1½ peak, 6ft0¾ today
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 19/May/20
We could make a case that Bill is 6'1 1/2 peak and 6'3 with boots like he claim, at age 69 already lost 1" now at 6'0 1/2 although he look 2" shorter than Adam Driver who wasn't 6'3 for sure.

Yeah he could pass for a six footer.

I stand by 186-187cm peak. Right between Aykroyd and Ramis
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 25/Mar/20
He look 2" shorter than 6'2 1/4 Adam Driver now. Even 6'0 1/2 could say is impossible for him now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Mar/20
he was looking a solid 6ft1 up to fairly recently. I think he may still measure it or very close to it. I don’t he’s just 184cm now.



I’m giving him 186cm range peak
Nearly 180cm guy said on 1/Mar/20
This is another Murray photo next to Costner from 1999: Click Here
I'm sure Murray was taller than Costner. And now Rob, look at Murray's photos with Neve Campbell from 1998: Click Here Click Here Click Here
You can also look at her heels: Click Here Click Here
Murray was a very legit 186 cm guy, in my opinion he deserves this estimate.
MBR said on 4/Feb/20
I'm 6'5 and towered over him, but I say weak 6'1.

Peak 185 cm, now 184

Prolly always been 6’ 1.5”

He had 3 inches at least on Matt Dillon In Wild Things who is listed almost 5-11 here.

I think Dillon is 5-10 and Murray 6-1
Spencer Dobkin said on 13/Nov/19
187 peak 185 today
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Nov/19
189cm would push Chevy Chase up past 6ft5!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Nov/19
Watching Groundhog Day Tobolowski is clearly at least an inch taller than Murray
Kime said on 3/Nov/19
Check up the documentary "Der fantastische Mr. Murray" by ARTE. Stephen Tobolowsky says at 33:16 that Murray was taller than him back in the 90s. So when Tobolowsky was 188 cm tall in his prime then Murray was at least 189 cm.
Editor Rob
He said the same thing on stage at the event I attended...but if you watch Stephen and Bill indoors on flat ground, Stephen looks the one who is taller, so I'm not sure how he concluded Bill was taller.
Ian555 said on 20/Oct/19
Rob do you have the link to where Murray was mentioned at 6' 1"?
Editor Rob
Behind a paywall, you'd need a newspapers subscription to find it.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Sep/19
I think a very strong 186cm in his prime and today 185cm flat.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 23/Sep/19
More like peak 6'1 1/4 and 6'0 1/2 now with 189cm Adam Driver.
179cm guy said on 29/Aug/19
I would go for the average guess as to his peak height.
Peak: 186.4cm
Current: 185.4cm
Halb said on 26/Aug/19
Would have never guessed he was so tall
KaziSh said on 18/Aug/19
For Some reason if you look at pictures with Bill and Larry Bird there is a 6" difference between the 2 which makes Bill look 6'3 odd?
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 4/Aug/19
Rob, do you think Murray is possible more 6'1.25" peak and 6'0.5" now?
Editor Rob
6ft 0.5 might be his height now...the vast majority of people would not guess him less than 6ft 1 peak, which is why a good chunk give him the 6ft 1.25 peak....
MrTBlack said on 26/Jul/19
@Canson

My Dad is 5’10 3/4” now and claims he was 6’1.5” at peak(which is dubious, he was probably 6’0.5” though since I’m only an inch and a half taller than him.). He’s 72 now.
179cm guy said on 22/Jul/19
Peak: 6'1.25-1.5
Current: 6'0.75-1
Canson said on 18/Jul/19
@Badman: maybe 185-186 peak and 183.5-184 today. Probably was a legit 6’1” peak
Badman said on 16/Jul/19
186 peak, 184 now. He is almost 70 so 2cm loss is possible.

He was around the same as Arnold Schwarzenegger at peak, but always carried himself much better and still has good posture.
Gotta say hd did a good job preserving his height, unlike Arnold, who looks like a dwarf nowdays, and not because of his current height but because of his shrank torso.
berta said on 11/Jul/19
i think he went from 186 to 185
viper said on 5/Jul/19
My 6-0 72 year old dad has lost ZERO height. Not a cm

He measured 6-0.25 recently. He's not a thin guy either.

My 5-8 80 year old Uncle is a solid 5-8, like he's always been.
Alex 6'3.25 said on 5/Jul/19
I agree shrinkage is overrated on this site, there are studies showing that a average person lose 2 cm during his 70 years old, but many users here are used to downgrade a 50 years old man even a full cm
Canson said on 5/Jul/19
@Viper: case by case. My father has lost maybe 1cm whereas others have lost 1-2”
viper said on 3/Jul/19
I don't find it impressive when my dad and other family members have been the same height over 70.

I think shrinkage is overrated here
Canson said on 3/Jul/19
@MrTBlack: my dad even at turning 70 this year is still just a fraction under 6’4. Probably 6’3.75 as I’m half inch taller than him when he stands straight. Peak height he was maybe a smidge shorter than I currently am. He was likely 6’4-6’4.25 whereas at my peak I may have been around 6’4 3/8 at a low. I’m 6’4.25-.3 today. But the my one uncle one of his brothers was 6’2 and is now 6’0.5 the other 6’3 (I think) now is 6’2” and change. And I’ve seen some guys who do lose 2” when they hit that age you mentioned so I do agree

@Canson

He’s 6’0.5” at almost 70 which is pretty impressive since most dudes at that age lose an inch. He was shorter than Glover and Driver(6’1” and 6’2” respectfully) in the dead don’t die. I think he could have been a hair over 6’1” at peak but didn’t bother mentioning the fraction like some dudes but he’s definitely not 6’1” anymore.
Canson said on 1/Jul/19
@MrTBlack: yea he may have been like President Obama a solid 6’1” peak and 6’0.5 today although I think Obama would be 6’0.75 perhaps today
MrTBlack said on 1/Jul/19
He’s 6’0.5” now. He held on to his 6’1” frame for long though.
179cm guy said on 2/Jun/19
Rob, I think that a 6'1.25 peak listing and 6'0.75 current listing would be best for Murray. I think that he made it through his early-to-mid-sixties without having lost anything noticeable but would now a fraction under 6'1.

I really think that 186cm is the best listing for Murray's peak height given that he consistently edged out guys like Dan Aykroyd and Kevin Costner and could appear anywhere within the strong 6'1-1.5 range.
You recently said Rob that Bill could be 6'0.5 range now which is why I'm proposing the 6'0.75 listing for his current height given that I think a fraction under 6'1 is likely for him nowadays although maybe not as low as 184cm. What do you think Rob?
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 30/May/19
Bill simply TOWERED over Scarlett Johansson in 'Lost in Translation. I actually thought he was taller than 6ft1, but he can have it anyway! 😁
'Annonymous' said on 11/May/19
Hi Rob! I recently asked you who could be taller (Murray or Costner) for which you answered that you feel that Murray has a better chance of being 186 cm than Costner(in peak height). Now I want to say that you have not made a mistake and you are right because Costner and Murray met in 1999:

Murray really looked taller than Costner! Rob, I think peak height 6'1.25" is suitable for Murray.
viper said on 30/Apr/19
6-2 is pushing it.

Maybe as high as 186-187
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 30/Apr/19
He look over 1.5" shorter than Adam Driver. 6'1 is peak and 6'0.5" now.

I still don’t entirely rule out 6ft1½
Damon Blank said on 27/Apr/19
I appreciate for one, that Liu is significantly shorter than him, but I don't think he's THAT tall. I don't think he's 6 ft 4. I think 6 ft 2 probably could have been his peak height. Maybe 6 ft 1 today. What do you think, Rob?
179cm guy said on 25/Apr/19
@Rampage(-_-_-)Clover I think that 6'1-1.25 peak and 6'0.5-0.75 now is likely for Bill, I don't think that he's lost more than half an inch at this point.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Apr/19
Fraction below 6ft1 today is possible but not sure if he’s low as 6ft0½
'Annonymous' said on 6/Apr/19
Rob, I do not want to upset you, but did you see all the pictures of Bill that I sent? Bill gave the impression of a bigger 6'1" guy than Dan Aykroyd, here on some old pictures Bill looked taller than Dan:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Unfortunately, you can't see their footwear in these photos, but previously I sent two pictures of Bill next to Dan, one of them was also Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis, but they had thicker shoes than Bill in these pictures. Here is a photo of Bill next to Maggie Grace from 2009:
Click Here
And here you can better take a look at Bill's shoe and heels Maggie:
Click Here Click Here
Seeing Bill next to Maggie, I would really give him not less than 186 cm. Bill probably kept his peak height well for many years, but today it looks much shorter than it used to be. Here is another photo of Bill next to Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd from 2017 (please note that Bill has thicker shoes than they):
Click Here
Rob, you said many times that 6'1.25" is a possible number for peak height Murray and you recently said that Bill can have 6'0.5" today. I doubt that Bill would have 6'2" in his peak height, but out of bed I think he could measure it. Rob, remember that you met Maggie Grace and Ernie Hudson personally, and Bill next to them could really look at least 186 cm. Are you going to give him the peak height and current height?
Editor Rob
I have a limited amount of time unfortunately.

Never rule out the chance of Bill at 6ft 1.25, I think today a fraction under 6ft 1 is seeming likelier.
179cm guy said on 3/Apr/19
Rob, based on these recent photos for an upcoming movie with solid 6'2 Adam Driver do you think that Murray might be in need of a current listing for somewhere in the six-foot range? ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here ) ( Click Here )
Editor Rob
Bill might be 6ft 0.5 today.
'Annonymous' said on 1/Apr/19
Rob, I think it's worth re-examining the height of Bill Murray. Here are the pictures of Murray next to Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd from 1984 (please note that they have thicker shoes than Bill):
Click Here Click Here
In 1996, Murray did not look 8 inches shorter than Larry Bird and 4 inches shortet than Michael Jordan:
Click Here Click Here
In 1999, Bill looked easily over four inches taller than Andy Garcia and over ten inches taller than Joe Pesci:
Click Here Click Here Click Here
Please take a look at his photos next to Sofia Coppola and Scarlett Johansson from 2003:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In addition, in 2015 Murray still looked at least 6'1" next to Conan O'Brien:
Click Here Click Here
As for his peak height to 6'1.25" would be an ideal option for him, I believe Murray could have measured 6'2" out of bed in his prime. Today, however, he looks a bit timid with 6'1", just look at his photos next to Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd from 2017 (in these pictures Bill has thicker shoes than Dan and Chevy):
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In 2018 Bill met Miley Cyrus:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Miley was wearing heels, but she had a looser posture than Murray. However, look at them next to each other when her posture is not so loose:
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
I'm not sure if Murray has only 184 cm today but he's definitely starting to look below 6'1". Rob, you said the peak height list 6'1.25" and the current height 6'0.75" could be believeble for him. I think it's time for update for him.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 1/Apr/19
Click Here 1:58 Might be down to straight 6'0 now with 6'2 1/4 Adam Driver.

Strong 6 footer peak, I think Jeff Bridges would edge him out.
Greg99 said on 10/Mar/19
I recall seeing an episode of SNL where Murray is horsing around with Eric Idle and both were roughly the same height, I though Murray a smidgeon taller, I'd have thought 6'1.5". Murray was taller than most of the old-school SNL cast members, with the exception of Chevy Chase (who had already left when Bill Murray joined) and Randy Quaid.
abcde said on 1/Jan/19
Looks tall in st.Vincent like 185 cm or even more
Jtm said on 13/Dec/18
if you watch the beginning of ghostbuster you could tell that murray isn't taller than aykroyd regardless of the posture difference.
Judd said on 11/Dec/18
I think Murray was a solid 6'1/185cm and also today he's still a legit 6'1...I think he might have lost not more than a couple of mms...
Aykroyd instead was a strong 6'0.5/184cm (6'0.75 on a good day perhaps) and today 6'0-0.25...
Tall Sam said on 29/Aug/18
Rob, do you think Murray might've had a slight advantage over Dan Aykroyd at peak? At times either can look a smidge taller but I think Aykroyd might've sometimes held better posture back then.
Editor Rob
He might have been the more solid 6ft 1 compared to Dan...though, I think overall had the better posture.
Jamie3557 said on 24/Jul/18
Still looked 6ft 1 in person, lowest I could buy today would be 6ft 0.75.

What you said about shorter/smaller people choosing to add y's in their names might be true to a degree, strangely enough. The average Charlie here is 5'8.92" but the average Charles here is 5'11.35"
Sandy Cowell said on 22/Jul/18
@ Christian 6ft5 3/8 - It might be worth adding that I knew a Bill who pretended to be 5ft8 but that was total ©®@p!

No wonder I thought that guys of that height weren't very tall for years! Then I actually went out with someone who turned out to be 5ft7.25 - and he was TALLER than that Bill! The 5ft7.25 fellow also lied about his height! He said he was 5ft10 and I believed him until I attended a medical in which he was measured. So how tall was that Bill fellow in actuality? The mind boggles!

Before I got slightly sidetracked with the various forms of William, I was wondering if the taller Williams call themselves Bill and Will and the smaller ones Billy or Willy. It seems to be true that the child Williams tend to stick a "y" on the end of their shortened names. Perhaps if they maintain a dinkier adult size, they keep their "y's"!*

It might be true in the case of celebrity Williams: average celeb Bills and Wills are over 6ft; average Billy is only a touch over 5ft9!


* Excluding comedy favourite Billy Connelly, that is!
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 19/Jul/18
@Sandy

Yeah, the average height of Bill on CH certainly doesn't reflect the average height of Bill in the general population. Most Bill's here are either pro athletes or actors who tend to be taller than the average person.
Sandy Cowell said on 16/Jul/18
⭐️ The average Bill, of whom Mr Murray is a prime example, is over 6ft and half an inch.

⭐️ The average Will measures over 6ft...

⭐️ ...mind you, the average Billy is considerably less, at just over 5ft9!

But as for the average Willy, I haven't checked that out yet, and I don't think I'll go there! 😕

Bill Murray gets 6ft1.
Gracian said on 12/Jul/18
Rob, I think the time has come to update the height from Bill. Look, here are his pictures next to Conan O'Brien from 2015: Click Here
Click Here
Three years ago, Bill still looked like a good 186 cm guy. Here is one of the better photos of Bill next to Michael Jordan and Larry Bird: Click Here
Aykroyd always had an advantage of hair over Murray, he sometimes too had an advantage of shoes over him, which is why I think Murray could have been a little taller than Aykroyd. Here is one of the photos on which Aykroyd has an advantage of hair and shoes over Murray: Click Here
Murray always looked more than one inch taller than Ernie Hudson. Here is the group photo of Aykroyd, Murray, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis, in this photo all three have an shoes advantage over Murray: Click Here
Today, however, Murray looks under 6'1". Here are photos from the event in November 2017, where you can see Murray next to Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd: Click Here

Peak height 6'1.25" seems okay for him, but today he has definitely less than 6'1". Rob, will you give him updates of his height now?
Jamie3557 said on 27/May/18
I just stood next to him and he still looked 6 ft 1.
Jtm said on 22/May/18
looking at recent pictures with dan aykroyd and chevy chase. he looks around the same height as aykroyd and looks like chase has lost at least 2 inches! he is much closer to aykroyd and murray's height than he was in the 80s.
berta said on 12/May/18
i will not give upp on my argument that bill murray was at least half inch taller than Harrison ford both at peak. and it could have been even close to 1 full inch. 184 vs 186 legit
Gracian said on 28/Apr/18
Rob, will you give him peak height 6'1.25" and the current height 6'0.75"?

Editor Rob
For any 6ft 1ish actor, you could probably make a case for strong or weak with many of them.

There's many of these estimates that are reasonable and may well be possible.

I never rule out the chance someone is above or below a listing, sometimes over time you might go with a slightly higher/lower mark because you see more of them and think a slight tweaked estimate might fit better.

"Murray was 4" taller than Johnny Depp in 'Ed Wood'. Depp is only slightly taller than Tom Cruise, maybe 5'8", so Murray's clearly less than 6ft 1."

Might want to check Johnny's listing on celebheights first... he's 5'9" here - so based on your observation of the difference, 6'1" works.

Rob 6 foot 1 and 1/8 atleast only time he looks this height is now when he is puschung 70 years soon.
Junior Hernandez said on 4/Feb/18
Lol that quote i read above. Lucy Liu must be a 5'0 tall and Murray claim in 1995 he is 6'3 with boots on. A peak at 6'1.5" should be realease and still 6'1 now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Jan/18
He looked taller than 6ft1 in Lost In Translation. Really gave a 6ft2-3 impression but I think that was just because he was surrounded by Japanese people
Some Guy said on 11/Jan/18
Rob, I just recently watched Lost in Translation, what do you think of Murray's height back then? He towers over the average-sized Japanese men in the elevator scene and is a head taller than Scarlett (who is very small though). I'd say he was somewhere in 6'1½-6'2 in his prime.
Editor Rob
he still seemed a tall near 6ft 1 guy in that film.

Richard said on 26/Dec/17
Murray was 6'1" at his peak.
fisherman said on 17/Dec/17
Rampage: Whoooa! No need to get agitated like that. It's not personal, I've just happened to notice you on a couple of pages and it's struck me as odd, like I said, that you CONSISTENTLY seem to give an entire extra INCH for people that I just can't see there. Peace.

Suitable that you should mention Sigourney Weaver, I think her listing is pretty accurate, one reason actually I think Murray's listing is off. Watch Ghostbusters, is there 3 inches between Weaver and Murray? I don't think there is.

I also never said he was a "pathetic" 5'11.5 nor do I think it would be "pathetic" if he was that. I estimated him at close to 6' flat, and I still do (and again, that means 6' flat in the evening, NO SHOES. That's plenty tall). Some here think he's 6'2" or 6'4" (!), I've never seen anything that would even remotely indicate that much. I'd be interested to see a picture showing that.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Dec/17

Murray was a strong 6'1 peak.
Now, maybe a weak 6'1.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Dec/17
Fisherman, excuse me?...you literally are the only person arguing this figure for Murray and sorry but nobody will buy that. If he's is under 6ft then I guess George Clooney is struggling with 5ft9, Damon is maybe 5ft7 on a good day, Sigourney Weaver comes in at 5ft9...I could go on. I just know that I'll go onto another page now and find you chopping someone else's stature down by 2in...I submit estimates that I stand by and I don't upgrade everyone. Plenty of people I've felt are overlisted slightly. I don't go up or down by a huge amount ever...because Rob is usually relatively close to what I believe. But I've been proven wrong before by Rob and I've come around when I see the evidence he provides....You just pluck numbers out of thin air.

If you see Murray at a pathetic 5ft11½, so be it...but you'll be labelled a troll. Just a friendly heads up...don't make it personal like Andrea
fisherman said on 1/Dec/17
Rampage: nope. What's rubbish are claims that he was ever anything like 6'1", let alone over that mark. These are supposed to be afternoon/evening BAREFOOT heights. If you're still very close to 6' later in the day, you'll easily be 184+ cm with shoes. I consider that tall, and suitable for Murray.

I've seen you on other pages here, always pushing numbers that are consistently a full inch or sometimes more too high for the person in question. What's up with that?
Adijos said on 27/Nov/17
I think Bill and Kevin Costner had the same peak and now they look similar too! Please Rob, give them both a peak of 6'1.25" and a current height of 6'0.75".
TJE said on 26/Nov/17

6'1.25 peak and 6'0.5-0.75 today?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Nov/17
fisherman, that is absolute rubbish
fisherman said on 18/Nov/17
He was 5'11.75" to 6' flat peak (184 cm morning). Slightly taller than Aykroyd. Probably has not yet lost any height worth mentioning, but maybe during the next decade he'll drop a little.

The average guess is crazy. That's his height IN SHOES.

i still dont believe that murray and harrison ford is just couple mm apart in their listings at both peaks there was atleast 1,5 cm beetween them. and could have been even 2,5. 186,2 murray and 183,9 ford
Scoobydoo said on 26/Oct/17
He looks nearly the 6'2 mark in his movies but not a full 6'2 I think he was between 6'1.50" - 6'1.75" (187 cm) and nowadays he is a strong 185 cm barefoot not less than that.

Ghostbusters in peak and barefoot;


Harold Ramis 188'5 cm
Bill Murray 187 cm
Dan Aykroyd 185'5cm
Ernie Hudson 183 cm
Sigourney Weaver 181cm


Fantastic actor mr Murray!!!

Looked about 4.5" shorter than a 6'4.5" Michael Jordan. Click Here Can't see their footwear, but I really doubt Murray's 6'1", probably more like 6'0"-6'0.5"
James B said on 8/Oct/17
Rob- watching space jam right now and I thought Murray actually looked more 6ft compared to Jordan.

Or maybe 4 inches is a bigger difference than i think?

it can be significant, but sometimes in films it can look less or more depending on various angles or positions of actors.

Bill Murray was not quite as tall as David Letterman back in the day. Murray could appear taller than a flat 6'1, but everyone can occasionally appear taller than they really are. In his prime he would have been about 3½ inches taller than the average man - more than enough to give a tall impression.

Richardspain said on 27/Aug/17
187cm peak
185cm now

Barefoot

Great actor uncle Murray!! My favourite.
Bugsy said on 9/Aug/17
Last year, on the Jimmy Kimmel show (you can find the clip on Youtube), Murray was about the same height as Kimmel, with Murray in flats (yes, like ballet flats) and Kimmel in dress shoes... which translates to Murray being clearly taller than Kimmel. Now Kimmel's height... that's a good question. 5'10"? 6ft? (probably not the latter)

Based on that, 185 cm is the upper limit for Murray, again seeing that he was the same height as William Atherton in the early 1980's (just in case someone tries to argue "height loss"). Take a look at Atherton's page here. Both men perhaps over 6ft when they were younger, but not over 6'1".
Richardspain said on 7/Aug/17
I think Murray had same height than Gene Hackman.

187 cm barefoot.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Aug/17
He did pull off 6ft2 in Lost In Translation....
Bugsy said on 6/Aug/17
Just saw Ghostbusters (1 and 2). Around the same height as William Atherton, clearly shorter than Harold Ramis and a LOT shorter than Kurt Fuller. The comparison between him and Aykroyd is tricky, throughout both movies one looks taller in one scene and the other in the next. In any case, the difference is not more than one inch.

Also definitely not THAT much taller than Sigourney Weaver. Murray's (elsewhere) listed 6'2" is downright insane, he's definitely not over 6'1". Most probably somewhere between 5'11.5 and 6'1", the comparison with Atherton is the best proof of that so far considering there's a picture here of Atherton with Rob. Have to think about this some more before I submit a guess.
RichardSpain said on 4/Aug/17
In lost in translation Bill was next to japanese people everybody knows that japanese people is short. For example I remember elevator scene in this movie.
Murray was a solid 187 cm /188 cm in his younger days barefeet. In Lost In translation he looks still range 186/187 cm nearly 6'2.
James B said on 31/Jul/17
Rob watching lost in translation right now and I am thinking he looks a legit 6'2.

Do you think that could just be because he is acting along scarlett johansson and japanese people?
Editor Rob
genuine 6ft 1 range men can look tall, Bill isn't a guy who slouches around at that height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jul/17
6ft1½ looks like the best pick for him.
Jug said on 18/Jul/17
6'1.25 is not impossible for a peak height. Harold Ramis edged him out slightly in Ghostbusters. Bill is a very strong 6'1.
Mark(5'9.5 said on 15/Jul/17
I really think this guy would fall in 6'1.5" than just 6'1" flat.
Richardspain said on 15/Jul/17
Uncle Murray always is taller than the casting. Near 6'3 with his boots is good height. Mostly the people moves between 170-180cm zone.
RisingForce said on 14/Jul/17
Yes, I understand you, Richard. Of course, subtle placement can always make the difference in a photo, but I do think they're pretty close to side by side there. Typically even big elevators don't add more than 6-7 cm, but Rob himself owns a pair that give nearly 10 cm, so it wouldn't surprise me if Burt had 8 cm elevator boots. The heels alone are big and the angle steep.
Johnny said on 14/Jul/17
Always gives a tall impression in his movies.
RichardSpain said on 13/Jul/17
Hi again Rising! I agree you, elevator shoes or lifs give max 6 -7 cm, is possible Burt was 187cm in that picture with his lifts.

The problem about that picture I see Murray is behind Burt so is possible Murray looks a bit shorter than Burt and his lifts/elevator shoes for this reason.

Is good picture curious picture! but as I say they aren't next to. They are one behind the other and sometimes photos where people are behind other people is difficult know his heights because arent't next to or face to face. I hope you understand me . Regards.
RisingForce said on 12/Jul/17
Richard, I agree Burt was likely around 180(5'10.75"-5'11"), but I'm not sure what height he was with elevator boots. Some of his elevator boots added at least 3", so he'd be 187-188 in those. He may have even worn 3.5" elevator boots on some occasions so it's possible he hit as tall as 189 cm in them as he was taller than 6-1ish Roger Moore in Cannonball Run and at least as tall as 6'1" Jonathan Ross in the early 90s, both of whom were at least 188-189 range in shoes. He actually looks about 3 cm taller than Murray there, but if Murray had normal shoes on, they'd be similar.

If you mean Burt could look like a 187 cm man max in elevators than I agree. Usually, he looked more in the 184-186 cm range in his big elevators, but Murray is almost barefoot so it skews things. Bill could have been 186, but I'm not sure about 187.
RichardSpain said on 12/Jul/17
Hi Rising !

Burt Reynolds was 180cm ( near 5,11)and I think with elevator boots not more than 187 cm similar height than Murray in peak.
RisingForce said on 11/Jul/17
Burt Reynolds in elevator boots was actually taller than Bill Murray in thin slippers: Click Here
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jul/17
He actually could be mistaken for 6ft3-4 in Lost In Translation. That's too much though. If he was that tall then Chevy Chase was 6ft5-6!

Bill Murray at his peak: 6'1.5 (186.69cm)
RichardSpain said on 30/Jun/17
6'4 is too much for him. And to me he doesn't look that height in Lost in translation.

I think he was 6'3 in peak as Murray said and with his boots. But not more. In "lost in translation "he seems 6'2 not more.
Dean said on 30/Jun/17
Easily over 6ft2 back in his prime
Sandy Cowell said on 29/Jun/17
@ Mark 5ft9.25

Hi Mark! I'm almost certain Bill was referred to as 6ft4 in 'Lost in Translation', and I did think he looked it next to 5ft3 Scarlett Johansson!
Obviously he has lost some height since then, so on this fine, grey-skied afternoon, I'll add a bit of brightness to Bill's day by giving him 6ft2.5!
Mark(5'9.25 said on 27/Jun/17
Bill Murray was easily a bit more than 6'1".

The fact he gets a lot of 6'2" billings and some times, people guess him 6'3" or 6'4". I wouldn't rule out 6'1.5".
Mark(5'9.25 said on 27/Jun/17
Bill Murray was easily a bit more than 6'1".
RichardSpain said on 27/Jun/17
Between 187 -188 cm when he was young and barefoot. It's very credible.
190 cm (6'3) as he said with his boots and when he was younger is very possible too.

Nowadays a solid 185cm barefoot. He lost maybe 2 cm respect his peak.
RichardSpain said on 21/Jun/17
Two days ago I was watching movie "St Vincent" where Murray made a fantastic role and he has still a good height, he is a strong 6'1 feet barefoot no less guys and with footwear maybe near 6'2. Big man and big actor Mr Murray.

6'3 in his boots ( 190cm) maybe when he was younger is very probable

@Rising I believe Chase was a perfect 6'3 o maybe 6'4", he is a tall man if you watch the end National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) he is taller than Candy who was a solid 188cm /6'2 "
RisingForce said on 20/Jun/17
Chase claimed 6'3.5" himself. He wasn't taller than that.

Mark(5'9.25") said on 6/Jun/17
Also, this is the first time I've seen someone mistakenly guess Murray at 6'4". I do think 6'1.5" or 186 cm could be his listing. There is no difference between him and Michael Shannon.

everyone clearly thinkh he was strong 186 guy at peak. Really think that is the best listing for him after all. With very good posture he could sometimes give almost 187 impression but 186 is probably what he was.
RichardSpain said on 29/May/17
I think uncle Murray is more taller than 185cm today. He is a strong 186 cm. And when he was young he was 188cm maybe he lost 2 cm.

6'1.25 in his younger days, 6'1 now.

I don't think 6ft1½ peak is a stretch. He looked it in the 70's-80's. Remember, in centimetres it's actually 186.69cm, not quite 187cm
berta said on 24/Mar/17
rob the average guess is 186,5 i think it would really be fait to give him 186 peak i think there is like only 25 procent chanse of him being shorter than that peak. 187 could be to mutch peak but 186 would be perfect at peak.
Editor Rob
I still wouldn't rule out 1.25
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Mar/17
Bill strikes me as a thoroughly nice bloke actually! I thought he was about 6ft4 comparing him to Scarlett in 'Lost in Translation'.
I'll give him 6ft1.5, though I reckon he was quite a bit taller in his younger days.

today he looks like a guy who would measure about 6 foot 1 not taller. but not really shorter. edvard norton was more than 1 inch shorter for example. and at peak he was 186,5 and with good posture he could manage to look 187 with people. he is an almost 6 foot 1 1/2 guy. little littel under at peak and now 6 foot 1 ore little little under.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Jan/17
I can still see him hitting 6ft1 today when measured.

12years back bill murray was closer to 6'1.5 maybe just 6'1.25 in 2004 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou , def 186cm compare to 5'10.5 owen wilson
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Sep/16
He could actually pull off 6ft2 in Caddyshack in scenes with Chevy. Easily 6ft1½ peak
Mike said on 1/Sep/16
Spot on, Rampage.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Sep/16
I can see Murray having close to if not a full 1in on Ford when ther were both in their prime.

Bill Murray: 6ft1¼-6ft1½
Harrison Ford: 6ft0½-6ft0¾

charlie said on 12/Jul/16
He looked 5 ft 11 in Groundhog Day and that's with shoes on. Bare feet he was most likely 5 ft 10. Today he looks about 5 ft 9 due to shrinkage.
Mark said on 7/Jul/16
Rob, you think he could have lost a bit of height now that he's nearing 70?
Editor Rob
he might have lost a bit now yeah, how much? Not a big amount...
Scott said on 3/Jul/16
I'm saying just under 6' 2". He didn't have good posture.
richie said on 24/Jun/16
Yeah i think 6'1" is spot on, he was the same height as Dan Ackroyd in Ghostbusters and similiar to John Candy, strong 6'1"
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Jun/16
Still 6ft1 range today...
Bard said on 31/May/16
Seems about right.

Judd said on 30/May/16
I think he was 6'1.25" at peak and today 6'1"...
He always seemed tall to me!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/May/16
No more than 2in shorter than Chevy in Caddyshack so 187cm is very arguable peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/May/16
6ft1¼-6ft1½ at least peak.
Berta said on 15/May/16
I think he was roughly 6 foot 1 and 1/2
richie said on 27/Apr/16
Solid 6'1"..would stand 6'2" in shoes, he was exactly the same height as Dan Aykroyd in GhostBusters
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Apr/16
Well Berta, 186.69cm is exactly 6ft1½
berta said on 6/Apr/16
strong 186 ore weak 87 at peak maybe. Beside Bruce willis and Edvard Norton he really doesnt look under 6 foot one i Think he looks a Little over that with them even now
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Mar/16
I think B-C at peak. I think A puts him more in the weak 6ft2 zone which he could look occasionally but not often enough.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/Mar/16
He really did look like a 187cm guy in the 70's-80's
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/16
Rob, which range at peak?

A) 189cm/187cm
B) 188.5cm/186.5cm
C) 188cm/186cm
D) 187.5cm/185.5cm
E) 187cm/185cm
Editor Rob
D or C is possible, I wouldn't go to A
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Feb/16
Rob, is 6ft1½ still possible in his prime?
Editor Rob
186cm is quite arguable.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jan/16
"Peak height was 6ft 1½in (187cm)"

If not a weak 6ft2. Today he still looks at least 6ft1.
Gx79 said on 18/Nov/15
Rob do u think he lost any height
Editor Rob
a fraction probable. He could have went from strong 6ft 1 to just under 6ft 1
dmeyer said on 3/Nov/15
He looks 4cm taller than norton who looks 2cm taller than willis
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Nov/15
Rob, I agree w/h your post from 2005.

He does look 6ft2 in Lost in Translation
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/15
He really did look 187-188cm in Caddyshack.
Ghostbuster said on 9/Oct/15
As a lifelong Ghostbusters fan, my observations are that Ramis had in excess of inch on him minimum and it wasn't just an impression from his huge hair.

Murray was very close equal to Aykroyd in height but in some scenes looked a shade shorter. If you consider the "Nestle Crunch Bar" scene outside the New York Public Library, here Murray looks certainly shorter than both co-stars.

He was noticeably shorter than Sedgewick Hotel Manager Michael Ensign who is listed on this site at 6.1, and Murray and co are in their big paratrooper boots in this scene so speculate to your hearts content.

In Ghostbusters II, in every scene with Sigourney Weaver, Murray's considerably taller than her, whereas Aykroyd is only a little taller than Weaver who wears small heals. Bill seemed to grow two inches for scenes with Weaver. The only explanation I can conclude is Murray wore small lifts maybe an inch. He's over 6 feet maybe he was 6.1 but certainly no taller.
