1.77 cm listed Woody Harrelson looks 2cm or more taller than Bale. Out of Furnace movie. Maybe because Woody Harrelson uses boots with lifts. Bale is 1.79 barefoot maybe i say maybe 1.80 in the mourning. Be REALISTIC PEOPLE

Solid 6'0". No more no less.
6 foot guys always get mistaken for 5-11 the same way 5-11 guys get mistaken for 5-10.
If you want to see what a 5-11 guy looks like, look at DiCaprio.
Bale's wife is also 5'8".
Bale's father was reported to be 6 foot 5, so it's not surprising that he is at least 6 feet tall.
He's also very health concious and knows how to maintain his weight so there is a strong chance that he will be 6 foot until he's in his mid 50's before he starts going down to the 5-11 or 5-10 range.

"Christian Bale's height is 5ft11.75in"
A big 6 footer just doesn't look the way he looks with other people.
I mean Joseph Gordon Levitt can look barely 176 at times, yet bale looks maybe 2.5 inces taller. At least 2 inches shorter than guys like Freeman and Caine, and with Jackman's downgrade it becomes even more apperant this guy dips under 6ft...
Finally, he was viably a tad shorter than Robert Sean Leonard, who's lucky if he's 6ft himself.
I mean, does anyone here think Bale would be the same height as a David Duchovny? With that said, 5'11(and some saying even less) is silly, but I do maintain he is a fraction under 6 feet. He's close enough to honestly claim 6ft though...
One day that'll be his listing. He could be as low as 5ft11.5, but 11.75 is just fine.
i agree, too

Bale seems like a legit six footer and Cooper seems like a legit six one. And these are the heights they claim, so there shouldn't be a wide divergence of opinion on the matter.

Wrong. Cooper is very height conscious and is always trying to appear taller whether that be by his posture or the fact that he's a chronic lift wearer. In the hangover helms and cooper seem to be about the same height, give or take 1cm. Bale doesn't seem very height conscious and often has poor posture. He's a solid 6 footer, if cooper is taller at all its not by more than a cm.

Bale is playing Travis McGee, a famous literary character who is six four and 205. Bale is probably going to be very good it in, he starts with peter Dinklage as Meyer, his buddy. I think they are still calling the film Deep Blue Goodbye but it looks like its about to go into production.

I personally think that there's not much difference between a 182 and 183 guy...I am telling you only that between Bale and Cooper there're at least 2 cms...Cooper in the most of the pictures does look taller than Bale by 0,75-1"...
If actually Bale is 6' and Cooper 6'0.5" that's mean that there won't be much relevant difference between they.
It's the same topic between Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms: in the 90% of the pictures Ed Helms appears 1" shorter than Bradley Cooper...
IMO Chris Bale is a proper 5'11.5-11.75" guy (or 182 cms) so he's "almost 6'" but not a full one...I don't believe that he's as tall as legit 6' guys like Duchovny, Hayden Christensen or others...

Models are people who can NEVER lie about their height and weight because their job relies on their appearance and ability to wear
clothes and convey a look.
Well that's false for a start, a lot of models lie about their height. Cara Delevingne claims 5'9.5 I think and is barely 5 ft 7. Modelling agencies tamper with listings all the time, especially if they're over 6 ft. Quite common for a 6'1 range lady to be listed at 182 and a 6'4" guy to be listed at 6'2-6'2.5. 182 is possible for Bale but I agree that he generally pretty much looks a proper 6' guy.

Modeling agencies tend to be very serious about two things, a model's height and their weight, and they measure them barefoot with measuring tape, not on a doctor's scale, but usually against a wall using a tape measure. Models are people who can NEVER lie about their height and weight because their job relies on their appearance and ability to wear clothes and convey a look.
The current Superman actor was a male model for a while, and was measured at 184cm which is 6 feet and 4/10ths of an inch in American terms.
never heard them! In Fact there's a lot of models who have more height listings, distant 1" or more one from each other!

I laugh at all these claims of Bale being 5'11, his wife is a model, models are measured barefoot, she is 5'10" and he has at least 2 inches and a bit more on her in every photo that they are together, Bale is a solid 6 feet tall. It was no wonder early in his adult acting career he got away with claiming to be 6'2", I recall that is what he claimed his height to be when Batman Begins was released, they said he was the first Batman actor since Adam West to stand the same height as the Batman actor but it became clear he was not that height and then he was downgraded to 6'1" and then in 2012 downgraded to 6 feet but people seem to down grade him further, but in reality it was his public relations people that were exaggerating his height, he was always 6 feet even, he even said it himself.
"models are always measured barefeet"?
are you sure about that??? the most of the models claim to be taller than their actual height! For example, Elle MacPherson, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr...
For a model height is important so i guess there're a lot of chance that they lie about their height. The only celeb who i met in my life until now is Bar Refaeli and when i met her she had heels on but i thought she was in the 5'8-8.5" range because she was very close in height with similar shoes to a girl who i know that barefeet is in the 5'8" range...
For Bar 5'8" is maybe a tad underestimate, 5'8.25-8.5" is perfect, 5'9" is overestimate...
I remeber that years ago she claimed to be in the 5'9.5" range...
Actually i think models are never measured barefeet, never...
About Chris Bale, also Hayden Christen passed at first for a 6'1.5" guy, but he's clearly shorter...For Hayden 6'0" is the best listing i guess, while for Bale 182 cms would be better...I agree he's taller than 5'11" but not a full 1"!

I don't really see 2 cms of difference between them. Seems more like 1cm of difference. But you never know with them. Both of them usually carry a loose posture.

Joe, please pay attention. At first, Bale has best posture than Cooper.
Second: look at the written "Berlin Festival"...for each written, the distance between them and the floor it's the same. Now, Cooper is as tall or maybe a tad taller than the written (considering his hairs) while Bale doesn't reach it. The distance between the camera and the two actors is the same because they are on the same line.
Here others pictures:

In the 90-95% of the picture Bradley Cooper does look VISIBLY taller than Bale, so that means that there's more than 0,5" between they.
Now if you think that Bale is a legit 6' guy, then Cooper can't be shorter than 6'0.75", with a good chance to be 6'1".
In cms i think Cooper is a legit 184 cms, while Bale is 2 cms shorter, so a legit 182 cms...IMO his perfect listing would be 5'11.75".

There is no way Bale is under 6 feet tall, by the his wife Sibi was a model and she is 5'11", and Bale appears to be over an inch taller than her. So he is definitely a good solid 6 footer. He appeared shorter than Chris Cooper in American Hustle only because he was bending and hunching over but in reality the two are roughly the same height. I really think Bale is over 6 feet tall.

I think Bale might actually be a bit bigger than 6 feet tall, if he is only 4cm shorter than Jackman who is 6'2" that translates into 1.5" inches, in other words he is 6'0.5" tall, so he would be the same height as Henry Cavill, Man of Steel Superman. Christian Bale's public relations representives listed him as 6'2" when Batman Begins was released and when it became apparent that he was not that tall, he was downgraded to 6'1" and remained there for 4 years, when Dark Knight came out he was listed as 6'1", and then when Dark Knight Rises was released he was listed as 6' feet even, but I think he might be bigger.
i am not sure and i think that the fact he was listed before at 6'2" doesn't mean anything!
In all pictures with equally conditions, Chris Bale does look a weak inche, so likely 2 cms, under Bradley Cooper.
Cooper is a legit 6'0.5" guy for sure...I think 5'11.75" would be an honest listing for Bale, not a full 6'!
Joe says on 3/Feb/15
I think Bale might actually be a bit bigger than 6 feet tall, if he is only 4cm shorter than Jackman who is 6'2" that translates into 1.5" inches, in other words he is 6'0.5" tall, so he would be the same height as Henry Cavill, Man of Steel Superman. Christian Bale's public relations representives listed him as 6'2" when Batman Begins was released and when it became apparent that he was not that tall, he was downgraded to 6'1" and remained there for 4 years, when Dark Knight came out he was listed as 6'1", and then when Dark Knight Rises was released he was listed as 6' feet even, but I think he might be bigger.

Even with bad posture you can tell he is a fair bit taller than 5'10, proportions and all. Looks 182cm to me.

Come on..he is not the same height as Henry. He has a large forehead so i can believe that people would think he is 5'11 range but he is around 6' even. I would bet on him dropping under the mark in the evening than being above it.

He is not 179cm tall, he is a full 6 feet, Christopher Nolan who is the director of the Dark Knight films stands 180cm tall, and Bale stands about an inch taller, Bale actually is more than an inch taller, I think he might be more than 6 feet tall. The bare minimum for Bale is 6 feet.
joe, probably there is no a picture where Bale is just one inch taller than nolan.
On the average the look at the same level, but sometimes nolan does look an hair taller and others bale, but i never seen 1" between they!
indeed I've read past comments and also rob thought, at first, that nolan was slightly higher than a straight 6 'guy.

Bale is a solid 6 feet tall, he stands about an inch taller than Nolan who is 5'11". I have no idea why people keep downgrading his height
It's the nature of this site. Most people have an inherent desire or more so need to lower other's height as a means to make themselves feel bigger and better. It's easy to spot those types of posters. There are some people on here who are objective and just call it as they actually see it and not how they think or want it to look.

I think between Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale there're about 0,75-8", or solidly 2 cms if you prefer metric system.
If Cooper is 6'0.5" then Bale can't be taller than 5'11.75".
As Dmeyer said before, that's his perfect listing.

Affleck might be the same height as the comic book character but when you think about it, I seriously doubt he will be able to match Bale's performance as Batman. Bale is 6 feet tall, I think that is good enough to portray Batman, his muscular and athletic build also helps make him credible as a superhero. Gary Oldman told the press that Affleck has "big shoes to fill" referring to Bale's exceptional performance as Batman. I got to agree with Gary, there is no way Affleck will eclipse Bale.

Despite having at least 2 inches on Bale, I doubt Affleck in shape for the role is that much more substantial or imposing in build than Bale was in Batman Begins, admittedly Bale had a thiner look in his two subsequent Batman films. I rate Affleck's talent as a director as greater than his as an actor.

Bruce Wayne in the comics is 6'2". Ben Affleck is the new Batman and he's a little over 6'2" so I think he has more of the height and build of Batman than Christian Bale does allthough it's beyond me how someone like Michael Keaton would be considered for Batman. He has nothing that resembles Batman/Bruce Wayne in the comics.

In his early years Bale was listed as 6'2" up until Batman Begins was released, and it was said he was the only actor to stand the same height as the comic character since Adam West. Then his height was downgraded to 6'1" and then 6 feet tall. He himself interviews has said he is 6 feet tall, I would buy that. His successor Ben Affleck is an actual 6'2" but I seriously doubt that Affleck will come close to being as good a Batman as Bale.

He is 6 feet even. This is what a perfect 6 footer looks like. In Batman Begins, Liam Neeson does not really tower over him that much, no more than 4 inches. They stand next to each other and they fight. Bale is not dwarfed, the way a 5'10 guy would be. Give the guy a break, people.

Bale said he is 6 feet tall, for many years he was listed as 6'2", and when Batman Begins was released in 2005, there were articles that stated Bale stood the same height and weight as the comic book Batman which is 6'2" and 210 pounds. Then the 6'2" was downgrade to 6'1", then finally to 6 feet even. Still probably the best actor to portray Batman. Ben Affleck, his successor might be around the same weight and height as the Batman comicbook character, but Bale is the definitive on screen Batman.

I just don't buy 5'10"-5'11" range for Bale, the lowest I'd go is 5'11.5". I'd think 5'11.75"-6'0" is what he usually looks. I'd he can look pretty close in height to 5'11" range guys like Christopher Nolan, Matthew McConaughey and Joel Edgerton but I think at times he also can seem around a cm taller.

I saw him in a restaurant in Santa Monica a few years ago with his family. He was very wiry in build (not stocky at all), and although I was sitting down, he did not strike me as particularly tall--5'11" max. Ordinary looking guy in person, but he sure photographs great--saw trailer for Exodus last night. My guess is he's 5'10-1/2" to 5'11" max.

That's more to do with body type and proportions. Bale doesn't have long legs and is actually quite stocky when he's not losing insane amount of weight for certain roles. He doesn't 'seem' like a tall guy, but I can easily see him being 182~183cm.

He never seemed to me like a tall guy. He's 181-182 cm tops. A legit 6ft guy really stands out of the crowd most of the time - take a look at Bradley Cooper, David Duchovny and Channing - first thing that pops to your mind when seeing them is "tall". Looking at Bale, "average" springs to my mind.

Feel free to argue whatever you like, but Christian Bale is taller than 179 cm, and you won't get much support on a statement like that from any of the users on here with common sense and a real knack for estimating height.

I know that bending your back can cause back soreness after spending just a few hours working in my basement where I can't stand at full height but then a few weeks later I really did a number on my back stupidly using poor form while doing some deadlifts...I'd be surprised though considering Bale's was 39 when he filmed Hustle that he "damaged his spine" permanently from just slouching down, although I'm sure curving his back for days while filming would result in him needing stretching, rest and maybe some physical therapy.

But after watching Harsh Times, as he towered 5'6 Freddy Rodríguez...

He's definitely shorter than that- I make this judgement by weight: if you look at these weight change images online- such as [qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3f816be36748401a02128c7ed45d8170?convert_to_webp=true]- trust me, as a gym guy, someone with as much mass as him in batman begins@6'0 will weigh WAY more than 190. That picture for Batman begins looks like a typical jacked 5'10"-5'11" dude weighing 190 if we trust those weights.

I looked at him and bradley cooper together. He looks 1cm shorter. I think bale is a weak 6' but hes defo still a 6' guy he looks taller than 5'10-11 guys for sure. He drops to 182 before bed i think. 5'11.5-75 before bed is his low. 6'0.75 is high. Hes a 6' guy. Anything lower 5'11.5 is wrong. If you think he is 5'11 or anything lower like 5'10 range then that is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing below 182 at his low. Hes 183. Love it if rob could get a pic with him

Rob so many people think he is not 6' i cant believe it. Rob do you think he is a strong or a weak 6'? Maybe he is 184 out of bed 183 during day and 182 before bed? I cant see anything lower than 6'. Below 5'11.5 is pushing it. He has had bad posture in films but i do think he is a 6' guy.

Bale is 182cm which is close enough for 6'0. People who think that he is 5'10 forget that he had bad posture in American hustle. This guy is a method actor it doesn't surprise me that he was slouching to potray the character in a really accurate manner.

@Realist: Because neither of them look under that mark? Because Hardy is listed as 5'9" and Rob actually saw him in person years ago? Oldman is listed as 5'8.5", yes, which is the mark he's likely heading towards in the next couple of years, but back in 2012, when he and Bale were photographed together at the TDKR premiere, he was still holding onto his peak height of 5'9". There's not a chance in hell that Bale is as low as 5'11, and 5'10 is farcical. He might be a fraction under 6ft, 5'11.75 perhaps, but no less than that.

He did look 185cm in the machinist but that was only because he was rake thin for the role.

@SaveUsY2J: That's because people find no reason to doubt his claim - he (Duchovny) actually looks it consistantly. But I agree with what you're getting at. Most celebs listed around the 6ft mark get a lot of people saying 5'10-11, which in most cases is quite rediculous.
Bale I don't think would turn out to be a legit 6 footer at his low though, but I doubt he'd be just 5'11, that's too low a guess. Imo he's probably somewhere in the 181,5 - 182,5 cm range, still closer to 6ft than 5'11.

You can see plenty of premiere photos of Bale standing next to 6'0.5" Bradley Cooper, and consistently looking about an inch and a half shorter.
The exception is when Bale is standing closer to the camera in order to look taller... which he seems to do a lot, LOL. I think he worries about his height, which is silly, he's not short.

+/- 1.84m (honestly, who can tell it to the cm unless you get the measuring tape out)?
I am 1.76m (strong 5'9), my partner is 1.86m (genuine 6'1), and we both met him several times in a work-related fashion. He is almost the same height as my BF, there's next to nothing between them, it's a fraction. And he's very, very noticeably taller than me, and I'm not short for a woman.
I'd say his wife is roughly my height (between 5'9 and 5'10), definitely NOT the 1.80m/5'11 you sometimes find online. If she was, he'd be hitting 6'2 ;) But he's not.
Roundabout the 6' mark is absolutely accurate, rather slightly over than under...

If you look at all the pics with DiCaprio and Christopher Nolan, sometimes they look the same height though Nolan seems to distinctly edge DiCaprio out in others. Similarly, Bale and Nolan do seem the same range, sometimes Bale seems to have an edge, rarely does Nolan actually seem taller. Conclusion, DiCaprio is a 5'11" even guy, Nolan a strong 5'11" (a fraction over) and Bale a weak six footer, with variations in posture, they can all look about the same height, which they almost are.

Yes, it is true that Cooper had 1.5-2 inches on him in American Hustle and looked 6'1.5-6'2", but as was said below, Bale's posture and physical health in that film was intended to be a shambles and was made to look shorter. I'd be interested to see premiere photographs of the two.
Well that and the fact cooper could be near 1 inch taller than bale.

He's 5'11.5-5'11.75, a legit 182cm guy. Him with Robert Sean Leanord(identical footwear and military posture) and recently with Cooper is all the proof you need. And Freeman, JGL, etc. He just isn't a big 6 footer. But he definently clears 183cm out of bed, 184cm under ideal conditions wouldn't even be a big surprise. So his claim is honest, he's just rounding up a tiny bit. But as one of my favorite actors, I really wish he could get a slight downgrade :(

@Maio: In my opinion, Bale can look between 5'11.5 and 6'0, Cooper can look between 6'0 and 6'0.5 (if we count his usual footwear-advantage over fellow celebs). I'd go with the former or perhaps the middle option of 5'11.75 for Bale and 6'0.25 for Cooper.
I think Rob has the difference of 0.5in more or less spot on. A 0.75in difference in Cooper's favour could also be possible.
Cooper can look taller than what the reality is because of stronger footwear and Bale slouching. I'd be surprised if there was 1in + between them.

Yes, it is true that Cooper had 1.5-2 inches on him in American Hustle and looked 6'1.5-6'2", but as was said below, Bale's posture and physical health in that film was intended to be a shambles and was made to look shorter. I'd be interested to see premiere photographs of the two.

He is not 6 feet. Bradley cooper has him by 1.5 inches in American Hustle. If he is 6 feet then Cooper is 6,1.5 - 6,2 and I doubt that very much, Rob.
For that role in addition to the weight gain he adopted a hunch, which actually did some damage to his back in the end after being in that position for so long.

Bale is a bit shorter than the comic book Batman, but he's the first big screen Batman I can think of to get into the kind of shape to look like he could kick one's ass. Val Kilmer might have been fit back in Batman Returns, but he didn't look imposing as Bale did in Batman Begins. Michael Keaton was too small (although he gave a really good performance) and Adam West obviously wasn't too intimidating.

Click Here Look at the heels.. In behind the scenes photos or videos you can almost always see actors today have these elevator-shoes/extra heel boots. Why would Bale feel the need to have these kind of boots if he was a legit 6'? Especially when his co-star Mark is shorter to begin with. It's not like he's playing someone like Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers where it seems the taller the better these days. I guess they wanna look taller than they really are in the general publics eyes. Click Here Doesn't look 6' to me here next to max 5'8 Wahlberg when wearing similar shoes.

It's been stated in numerous interviews of Bale and O'Russell that he had a constant slouch during filming, because Bale wanted his character to be towered by Cooper (it caused 2 slipped discs). We'll have to wait for the premiere pictures of them together before we can more accurately compare their heights. Right now though, I would guess Bale is around half an inch shorter than Cooper with normal posture.

Cooper wears big heels and maybe lifts on that movid, that guy is a chameleon on height at times while Bale is hunched most part of the movie, Bale isn't under 181cm, he probably wakes at 6feet if not over, there are a lot of pics posted here that back up his claim.

Proof is in the American Hustle Trailer. He does have a bad posture there but Bradley is clearly 1.5 in taller than him. Cooper himself is utmost a weak 6'0 when compared with Ryan Gosling. Thus the conclusion is actors like Bale and Fassbender who are the future legends are 5'9.5 to 5'10.5 range but claim to 6'0.Their heights are overlooked due to their acting.

Saw him at the screening they had a few days ago (I've seen him multiple times actually) and he is average height. I expected shorter but he is just average. Because of shoes my guess is between 5'9 and 5'11. I am 5'10 and 1/2 barefoot and my shoe height depends on heels.

Finally someone makes sense here, in the real world there's really no way of telling the difference between a 182 cm guy and a 183 cm guy, even though some people think they're 'experts'.
and there's this trend of people downgrading heights of famous celebrities in the comments, someone said 5'9"? 5'8" Really?
I also don't think that if a 182.5 cm guy says "I'm 6'", he should be put to the sword. Not everyone is as Obsessed With Height as some of us, and that half a cm really doesn't matter at all, to be honest.

I think Christian is a wonderful actor but 6ft ? Surely not. Have you seen him next to 6'2" Morgan Freeman in batman. He looks considerably shorter. I was exactly 6' during the course of the day ( 3 measurements) when i was younger and my friend was exactly 6'2" ( i measured him also ), and although the difference was noticeable, i did't look up to him much at all and it really wasn't a large difference in photos.
I would say the talented Mr Bale is ~ 5ft10.5"/5'11".

I think he's a perfect example of what 6ft should look like. He's constantly bulking and cutting for roles. Looked 6ft1 in The Machinist and The Fighter because he weighed almost nothing whereas in the Batman movies could appear 5ft11ish at times because of the extra weight.

Bale is 5'8 I've talked with him I was right in front of him and I'm 5'8 and we were the same height. He wears lifts in his movies just like robert downey jr. In iron man and the guy from thor actors do it live with it anything over 5'7 is a decent height

I saw some pics of him with Renner in American Hustle and he looks fat for his new role and he also slouch a lot.

Always thought Bale was over 6', certainly appears tall in his movies. Almost the same height as Michael Caine who is still over 6'.

I agree with 182 cm. Not that you can really tell the difference between that and 183 cm/6 feet, but for whatever reason, I just get the impression he'd measure just under 6 feet, but close enough.

In the movie Equilibrium (2002) he seemed about the same height or slightly taller than 183ish William Fichtner, maybe somewhere between 3 and 5 cm taller than 179 cm listed Sean Bean and a solid bit taller than 173ish Tye Diggs. There was a scene where he stood face to face with 179 cm listed (on celebheights) Angus MacFayden, and looked about 4-5 cm taller, as well.
Still I a very strong 5'11.75 is good for Bale. But let me just add that I am starting to realize that he can look 6' flat at times as well. He's about 5 cm shorter than Hugh Jackman, so if he's a legit 188 cm guy, then it's a safe bet that Bale is 183 cm. Personally I think Hugh is a smidge under that, like 6'1.75, so that's why I think 5'11.75 is more fitting for Bale. But this is just my opinion, and they are merely fractions after all. Taller than the 181 cm I thought he could be before, but not taller than 183 cm.

No way. I do not think he is even 5'9. He was much shorter than Hugh Jackman in "The Prestige" MUCH shorter.

@Sam: That looks like a bit more than 2 inches, and Bale is leaning. Woody Harrelson has claimed 5'9 for his height, so I'll go with that for him. Bale could look 182-183 cm in that pic, but he is also closer to the camera. I think 5'11.75, just brushing 6ft, is fair for Bale.

He's around 2 inches taller than Woody Harrelson, I think. To me, he's a true 183 cm guy, maybe 182 cm by evening but I don't he's ever as low as 5'11".

Looks a strong 5'11 in American Psycho. 5'11.25-5 is my guess for Bale.

I agree with your comment, Lorne. It's an honest claim, he's rounding up a little bit.

He was 19, actually(or perhaps a few months shy during filming) so I doubt he was full grown. Of course I've wondered myself; it is possible leanord is 5ft11.75-6ft, and Bale was 5'11.5, and grew another fraction to match him. But I doubt it. I din't have an exact figure, but I would imagine 99% or close of guys are full grown at 19. And like a said, he clearly doesn't look a big 6foot guy. Look at him with Gordon-Levitt: I guess it's possible he was lifting, but then he just doesn't stack up well against Freeman and Caine. If course he can pull off 6ft at times, he is a legit 182cm guy, not less than 5'11.6-5'11.7. Remember at 5'11.75 most people will say 6ft.

I agree Bale is a 182 cm guy and he probably wakes over 6 feet or around it. But you shouldn't compare him with Robert Sean Leonard on Swingers Bale was barely 18 years old.

@Lorne: Couldn't agree more. 5ft 11.75in would be a more accurate listing for Bale.

Christian Bale's height is: 5ft11.75in(182cm) He is a fraction shorter than Robert Sean Leanord, both wearing identical footwear in military posture, standing in a gym. Also, just doesn't look a big 6ft guy. Honestly looks 5ft11.5 with 176cm Joseph Gordon Levitt. And a solid 6 footer would stack up better against guys like Freeman and Caine... So he's close to 6ft, but not quite there.
