I'm 5-foot-9 and wear Rockport shoes that make me 5-foot-9 1/2. They're not lifts - I deny that - but they do set off the airport metal detector.

[Billy's tip on dressing up as a woman] Lose some weight. A man who is 5 foot 9 and 160 pounds is close to average, even a little light. But a 160-pound woman who's that height is considered heavy. [Men's] frames are different. And without losing weight, don't even think about getting into a corset.

The early comments on this page are priceless lol. Glenn saying "oh he was taller than me, but he isn't actually taller than me, because he decided to tiptoe the second we took the photo. My buddy saw it as well and said it to me". How were people buying anything that guy even said?
Nonetheless, decent enough 5'8 in everything I've seen him in, he's not under 172/5'7.75
Probably 172.5 and definitely the definition of "handsome", even or especially as he's getting older

Rob, do you think he could be any shorter
He looked similar and also a fraction shorter than Joaquin phoenix in inventing the Abotts.

🎂🕯️🎉🎁 Happy Birthday Billy! 🎁🎉🕯️🎂
Many Happy Returns of the Day to Billy Crudup, who turns 51 today.
Billy was in 'Sleepers', 'Public Enemies' and the little-known movie 'Inventing the Abbotts', with Liv Tyler, which is one of three Liv Tyler films I had to stick on order with HMV; those days, I didn't have the internet!
Have a great year Billy!

Interesting quote. Those shoes take him from 5'9" to 5'9.5". This means his first height is in regular shoes. And is probably exaggerated.

I use to think he was 5'9 or even 5'9.45 , but a 5'8 seems right on the money.

I didn't know about the tip toeing. That explains the pictures with Mary Louise parker. I doubt he's 5'8 now. 5'7.5 at the very most. 5'6.5-5'7 is probably closer to the truth.

So I found this picture of Ian McKellan, Billy, and Patrick Stewart, Click Here. It seems like Billy is about 172-173cm, and this picture shows that he's pretty close to Patrick Stewart, who is 174-175cm these days IMO. So assuming similar footwear, I think it's safe to assume that Billy is a weak 173cm, and Patrick is a strong 174cm.

Based on the pics that have been posted, he's a bit of a chameleon. With Patrick Stewart he looks 171cm, with Philip Seymor Hoffman he looks 173cm, with Zack Snyder he looks 174cm. I'm comfortable with his listing at 173cm, but I wouldn't be surprised he is actually a 171-172cm guy.

Rob people are right, i don't know in reality but in Blood Ties he looks very small, he is more like 5'7.25. He is about the same as his former partner Mary Louise Parker, not much taller than Claire Danes either. 171 (5'7.25). But he does beat up Clive Owen.

I'd say 5'8" is pretty close to perfect for him- he is about an inch shorter than 5'9" Justin Theroux, and looked about an inch, inch and a half shorter than 5'9.5" Greg Kinnear. I don't see where all the 5'6" comments are coming from - he looks to be at least two inches taller Ben Stiller.

Why would anyone bother putting lifts in a pair of trainers?? its diferent angles of the way they are walking, he looks about the same in both pics to me.

they don't look like lifts to me on the second picture. i still believe he is 5'8. i could be wrong. i used think stallone was 5'9 or 5'10 then i saw a pictures proving he is actually 5'7 so this could be the same for crudup but i still have not seen real evidence that he is under 5'8 or if he is a lift wearer.

he was at least 2 inches taller than jennifer connelly in inventing the abbotts and i doubt he was wearing lifts. too bad there wasn't any good scenes with phoenix to compare height.

This sounds about right.
Most of the films I have seen him in, he is markedly shorter than the majority of the cast. In 'Too Big to Fail', he was pretty much dwarfed by everyone except for Paul Giamantti.

Here's billy standing next to 5'5" jackie earl haley who appears to be in some decently healed shoes: Click Here
I'd say there's about a 2 1/2-3 inch height difference taking into account jackie's shoes.

Alright, I'll let the cat out of the bag. I KNOW he's only 5'6.5. This is not a lie. Hint, he injured himself in 98...for about a dozen people to see.

never mind about him being considered for batman. there was one actor that is 5'6 was considered for batman but i still think crudup is 5'8. if he wears lifts then he could be 5'7.

No, I've never met him. Time will tell if I'm right. We'll sit back and just watch. In public he is a 5'8 guy...but that is only when he's wearing lifts. He's slipped up on occasion and he's not even close to 5'8...more like 5'6.5.

If you watch Too Big to Fail, Billy's character (who portrays Tim Guitner) looks about 5'8" relative to other characters. There is a scene where he is walking adjacent to William Hurt (who I believe is around 6'2") and he looks about 6 inches shorter.

He just forgot to mention that he is 5ft9 in shoes and Rockports give some extra compared to normal casual shoes. Never seen Rockports with 1/2 (casual shoes) with inch heel LOL...

Saw him in that movie with Woody Harrelson and I must say the man looks short. Rob you have Woody at 178 cm and Crudup at 173 but in that movie their was more then 2 inches between them more like 3 inches. Rob I think Glenn is right about him he is 170 cm trust me just watch that movie it's the only movie the two of them did together but I just can't remember the name.

in Jesus Son he looks shorter than 5'8''. I just tried some Rockport shoes the whole collection had rather thick insoles and outsoles. They look like normal modern shoes since there really isn't heels, but especially the insoles are thicker than normal. I noticed the same insole thing with the models of Timberland shoes which have the Smart Comfort insoles.

Looked a pretty similar height to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 3. I think they did something to make him look less handsome than usual in that movie though. Weird.

There is no doubt that Billy Crudup is 5'7, has anyone stoped and thought about the fact that he has gained and lost weight for his roles which effects how tall he looks? He's still hot no matter how tall though.

Thanks for the info Glenn. Perhaps he stood on his tiptoes because he could see into the future and see that this photo would be used on the world's leading height site. :)
It's a shame that he feels pressured into boosting his height. 5'7" is not really 'short' ... yet there is a growing number of people who see anything under 6 feet as short. I think part of the reason is that high profile actors (including Mr. Crudup) project a much taller image on-screen (and on paper), so that people never see a true representation of height in movies. I'm sure his true fans (including female admirers) would still love this guy no matter what his height.

I think he thought I wouldnt notice,and I didnt.until my friends told me and I got the photo back.sneaky.I mean why would I make that up? Tom Cruise would be a good fib.not this loser.he caught attitude with me shortly after.he is overall a nice guy,despite this incident.and people were wispering about how short he was.

Was he standing on his tiptoes as a joke? Or was he doing it sneakily in the hopes you wouldn't notice. Kind of creeps me out a bit to be honest.

pffft 5'9"? Not a chance. Stood next to him after a Pillowman performance (which was terrific) - he was shorter than me. 5'7" is right. Ivanek is 5'5".
He must be wearing KISS boots in this photo.

consider that tipping ones toes adds 3in if the shoe size is anywhere from 8-10.
glenn: 5'9 w/ shoes
Crudup: 5'10 w/ shoes + 3 in of tiptoes = 5'7 max barefoot
Billy has got really slender shoulders despite his very toned build

His quote gives it all away. First, Glenn swears he was stepping on his toes - why would Glenn lie? Also, the guy makes a special point in his quote to say he wears shoes that only make him 1/2 inch taller than his normal height? This doesn't make sense. I mean 5'9" (he says that's how tall he is) to 5'9" and 1/2? The inference from his quote is that the shoes give him a little extra height and I'm sure he's talking about more than a half inch! What he's probably saying is he's 5'9" in shoes, and with these particular shoes, he's 5'9" and 1/2. Which means he's probably really 5'7" or 5'8".

I will stick to 5'7, because he is highly variable. In Sleepers(watch it), he truly looks like a huge muscular 6footer; but in Jesus' son this guy is about 1 inch over Jack Black both wearing nurses shoes

Yes, Rob pay attention to this dude, he is tricky. You have got to watch Jesus' Son its a great movie, it also reveals his true height. He is only a bit taller than samantha morton, who is about 5'5. Leary dwarfs him, and the best comparison is to Jack Black whom we all know is 5'6 at best.

No way is he 5'9. In the movie 'Waking the Dead' he's pretty much the same height as Jennifer Connelly.
