Christopher Reeve's Height
6ft 3 ½ (191.8 cm)
American actor best remembered for his role in the Superman films.
I was very tall and very awkward. I was six feet two inches by the time I was 13 and I wasn't well-coordinated. I had Osgood Schlatter disease, which makes the tendons grow faster than the bones.

I'm 6-foot-4 and I weighed 185 pounds. I reported to London for the picture 8 weeks early and found they had constructed a Superman costume complete with muscles. I absolutely refused to play the role that way. Instead I got an instructor, Dave Prowse who played Darth Vader in 'Star Wars,' and set out a physical regimen for myself. I spent 2 hours a day, 7 days a week working out with heavy weights in a gym.
I looked like Jimmy Stewart standing sideways. So I ate four meals a day and pumped up my muscles. By the time the picture started I weighed 221 pounds - all muscle. I did every single stunt in the picture.

Chris Reeve was closer to 6'4" than 6'3", and the evidences are in all of his films...beyond Superman. In Superman he had flat soles, like half an inch or 1 cm, but with 187/88 cm Hackman he looked 4/5 cm more with those. With 189 cm Morgan Freeman he looked more than an inch taller with same shoes...in James Ivory's movies it was the same. If not the full 6'4", he was surely a good 6'3" 3/4 inch.

6ft 3 .5 was max for Christopher..
he always had 2.5 inches on Michael Caine. who was no more than 6ft 1 in his prime.
Reeve did look about 2.5 inches taller than Caine, but Reeve had on boots, he had footwear advantage. But it again makes a full 6 '2 Caine look less likely.

i beleive this listing is the best for him. HE could at worst look 6´3 and pulled of 6´4 alot. Somewhere in the middle is good listing. I think its this or maybe 6´3 3/4. One of them. Average guess of 191,5 seems a little to low. He could have been that but i think right around 192.

Slightly under 6'4 may be spot on. He didn't tower over 6 foot plus actors like Gene Hackman in Superman or Morgan Freeman in Street Smart. He had a certain lankiness which could give the impression that he was taller. Interestingly, in Superman he says of his height, "about 6'4."

I'm surprised he's listed any less than 6'4", I'd say 6'4" for his peak height easily.

Site is becoming too stingy with the heights. 6'4 isn't like a super rare height or anything. And now that you've put him down to 6'3 1/2, the commentators want him lower. If he was less than 6'4 than what does that do to Hackman and other actors?

To be fair, I can understand 6'2-6'3 estimates, but 6'1-6'2 is BS.
Look at him with Marc McClure, that Rob has met and estimated around 5'9.5: Click Here While he certainly looks nowhere near 6'4, he doesn't look far off 6'3 (especially if his shoes aren't that thick).
The same goes for him and his stand-in Donald Standen, who gets listed at 6'4 on his agency Click Here : Click Here Clearly under 6'4, but not much less than 6'3.
He wasn't 6'4, but somewhere in 6'3 range I think is believable enough when he stood tall.

I can see an argument for 6ft 3 flat, at times he could seem that...even with Jim Belushi you could argue he's struggling with that mark.

@Editor Rob: of course he’s not 6’1-6’2”, we all know that, but had it been an upgrade to 6’4.5 from 6’4, we wouldn’t see a comment like that. Your listing for him is ok. He looked minimum 6’3” range in his prime.

It doesn’t matter how much he has been upgraded or downgraded. The important thing is accuracy and that’s what Rob prides himself on. But it’s funny that the downgrade is “enough” but had that been an upgrade, it wouldn’t be “enough”

Christopher had 3 children: William, Matthew and Alexandra. His wife Dana tragically died from lung cancer in 2006, possibly as the result of passive smoking as the lady did not smoke.
William, known as Will, is supporting his father's excellent work of research into paralysis. After losing both his parents in one-and-a-half years, he hit his all time low. After coming to terms with his massive loss at such a young age, he said, "There's nowhere to go but up..."
I wish Will and his siblings all the best. XXX

The late Christopher Reeve was born 68 years ago today.
Christopher had a horse-riding accident at the age of 42, resulting in his being paralyzed from the waist down. The poor man never walked again, but didn't give up hope, forming the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation in 1998.
Christopher passed away 10 years later at just turned 52. 😢 So terribly sad...

Excellent actor, wrongly considered only for comic movies. Many people consider Chris Reeve's height basing on him in Superman suit, but the red boots were almost without sole....in other films and real life photos, he looked a solid 6'4", sometimes maybe 194 cm...similar to Alex Skarsgård. I'do go with clean 193.

There's a chance of his being close to 6'3.25" but I not so sure on a 6'3" flat height for him. Like you said he quite often looked 1.5 inches taller than Hackman and with a young(er) Morgan Freeman still looked a solid inch taller.

Technically, Reeves would have a higher head. The hair may fool us into thinking we aren't as tall as we are. However, it depends on the hair.
Reeve's hair volume is normal. Not so thick and not so flat. The very top of our heads is usually covered our hair.
What I'm saying is that Reeves would have a higher head and would definitely look down on the Rock.

He was definitely taller than Hackman (6'2) in his Superman movies, but I don't know if he was full 6'4 (cause EVERYONE lies about their height ;D). I guess solid 6'3 (191 cm) is more probable.

Richard Donner wanted Clint Eastwood to play Super Man because he was 6’4 and had the cinematic appeal but Clint pulled out because he felt too old for the part he would have been 46 at the time , Reeve was perfect an unknown but he had everything to play the roll looks ,height, the camera loved him in that suit .

I always thought 6'4", but Chris himself saying he was just shy means he could be a quarter or half inch shy. Either way, top 1% of height for men and super tall without being freakishly tall.

I don't buy anything under 6'4 for Christopher Reeve. Never looked anything under it in Superman and was clearly taller than 6'2 Gene Hackman

It's interesting Rob i have seen a lot of films with steven seagal and too be honest christopher reeve looked at least his height in superman 3. He even gave a taller vibe than Jeff goldblum did in independance day.
Perhaps they wanted too hire a particularly short cast in the film too sell Christopher's superhero image?
There has also been a lot of discussion on celeb heights that Steven seagal would work alongside a 6ft plus cast in a lot of his movies.

Editor Rob I don't know about a small cast, but any man over 6ft 3 in film usually does look quite tall in crowd situations, but of course if you hire shorter or taller people you can create a different scenario, the 6ft 3 man could look huge or barely much above average as a result of casting.
Real Cavill said on 14/Nov/17
Cavills arms are published in Man of Steel as 16 inches and they looked about 16 inches which is not that big. Arms have to be a lot bigger than that to look short. Many big guys with huge arms like Arnold Schwarzenneger didn't have arms that looked short. Chris Reeves has long arms because he's tall.

Editor Rob the more I've seen over the years, I feel he was just shy of 6ft 4 but I suppose near enough it to look that tall to many people.

Rob,
Yes, I think Prowse would have still Edged Reeve out if they stood together since this would be 1977 And I do not think Prowse would have lost any height at that point.
A Side Note, Reeve Being 6'3 or 6'4, all of Know is his arms were extremely Long even for his height. Longer the Arms, the harder it is to put the muscle on. Cavill has those T-Rex arms, not taking away from his workout regime but Reeve now outweight cavill by nearly 20 pounds is Impressive.

Editor Rob Cavill was decent enough in the role, but Reeve was a great actor playing Superman, he hit it out the park.
I'm not sure Cavill's arms are too short, it's just he put a lot of bulk and that probably made them seem a bit shorter. If he was skinny, he probably wouldn't look as disproportionate.

Ricahrdspain,
Yeah 5'11 is out of the question for Reeve, def a error there. In the american Version he said " About 6'4" which I think could mean he was slightly shorter than 6'4. I never though he really looked over it. He actually looked shorter next to Robin Williams than Brandon Routh did. Routh is not over 6'2-1/4".

Jaime Warburton,
I have the same question you do, why? B/c Reeve did look considerably bigger in SUperman 3. I Know for a fact he got up to 212 pounds from 188 in the first Superman, But By Superman 3 it wouldn't shock me if he was around a good 10 pounds heavier than when he did the first Superman film. So around 220, maybe 225 Id say would be his weight for Supes 3. He looked the thinnest in Superman 4 as a 35 Year old man.

In Superman 1978 Reeve responded with " About 6'4 " when asked about his height. If he is 6'3-1/2 or 6'3-3/4" I would not expect him to say exactly his height I guess.. He used the word "About 6'4", so even if he was say 6'3.5", he was still accurate with his statement there.

Reeve had extremely long arms even for his height. Honestly , Jon jones is around 6'3 or 6'4 whatever and has an 84" reach. I really think Christopher Reeve had longer arms.
Cavill is the opposite, very Short arms for his height and which makes it much easier to gain muscle mass. Reev was 225 pounds in Superman 3 FYI.
Cavill 6'0.5 203 lbs ( As Superman)
Reeve 6'3.5 225 lbs ( as Superman)
Reeve Closer to the actual Size of the Superman Character.

Maybe give him a 6'3.75 Wayne/Eastwood listing, I think it possible he was slightly under it and rounded up. I think he looked the same height as those, in fairness he had the look of a proper 6'4 guy, though at times could look shorter.

He looks 6'2 at most next to Robin Williams... Actually even Brandon Routh looked taller than him next to Robin Williams!!!

Editor Rob I think Williams did lose a bit of height, but Reeve I believe would measure taller, how much is debatable, a small fraction or 3/4 inch...

Rob could even 6'3 be possible? He a few inches shorter than 6'6 big John studd and same height as gossett jr

Editor Rob yes he could look 6ft 3, 3.5 and sometimes pull off 6ft 4. Somewhere in between at the moment I feel is fair.

He was 6'4. I doubt any less. In Superman he wore flat boots, so Hackman looked almost as tall in normal dress heels, and Margot Kidder was wearing heels in most scenes.

I am 6'4 or 1.93m and Christopher Reeve was exactly the same height as I am. We stood eye to eye, yet in the photo I had I looked taller. Due to the fact that I weigh only 65 kg. Photos can be deceiving. Christopher Reeve was and always will be the original Superman.

With the late Robin Williams, head is tilted a bit but would be in the 8 inch area if he was looking ahead i think.

I would ask the brethren on this board to YouTube Christopher Reeve on the tonight show with Johnny Carson. That is a very tall young man in Reeve....he appears to edge out Ed McMahon height at 6' 3 1/2" -6'4"....what do you think?

Wow, did not see this one coming, he was one of those guys I thought were a take for granted legit 6'4. I also thought he had two inches on Hackman, but as I've said elsewhere Hackman can also look in high 6 ft 1 range a lot.

Think this is maybe more fair, he really does look more 6'3 range when you compare him to other celebs at the time. He did look his 6'4 claim most of the time though due to his great proportions. Now we just need Eastwood brought down as well to that 6'3.5"- 6"3.75" range.
Just goes to show how tall a true 6'4 guy really is.

The G photo is at a low angle, with G closer to the camera. It's going to make him appear taller, in this case significantly so. Reeve was a legit 192 cm guy.

It has been stated by many..including Margot Kidder that Reeve would slouch all the time. If you have seen the Richard Donner's directors cut of Superman II--you can see the character of Lois Lane telling Clark to stop slouching and straighten up. The posture of Chris Reeve would change by 3 inches. It is the guys under six feet always trying to be taller and the guys well over six feet always trying to blend in...

Editor Rob it's a tough photo to say, because some of the height will be lost. How much is even harder to tell, 1 or 3 inches, could be anywhere between that amount.
Here is quick photo I took of me basically just around 6ft 4 range with Jenny, then on same box with closer shot and closer Jenny: Here

Also, look at a "late" Robin with Brandon Routh... Brandon seems taller than a Christopher Reeve, just to say! Of course, Robin was probably an inch shorter than his peak there but then again that would "match" with the one inch difference between Brandon and Christopher (6'2.5 vs 6'3.5), if you know what i mean!

Editor Rob maybe with Reeve, at times he just didn't stand that tall. I think Williams somewhere in 5ft 7 range is believable, you could say Reeve in photos didn't look over 6ft 3 with him.

I always enjoyed the Reeve Superman films, I heard after Superman III that he was going to quit and another actor was going to replace him as Superman, I thought no one could be Superman other than Reeve. Reeve is and was Superman, and I was right, no actor since could emulate the brilliance that Reeve brought to the role, the current Superman actor, Henry Cavill is only a shadow of Reeve, his predecessor Brandon Routh came close to resembling Reeve in appearance but lacked Reev's charisma and charm. Reeve will always be Superman.

Reeve was and still is the best Superman actor ever. A few people say Cavill might have surpassed Reeve, which I find to be silly. Technology has changed film considerably since Reeve's time. Comparing film in the late 1970s to late 1980s to 2013 is not a fair comparison. Reeve still manages to be far more charismatic and likable as Superman. His movies are more entertaining despite having far less special effects.

Reeve was very honest and open about his height, he was a full 6'4", he was massive, yet outside of Superman he never got any big roles in Hollywood, but he will always be known as Superman. Cavill is much smaller, more muscular and pretty boyish, but Reeve was a more masculine Superman compared to Cavill's whiney boy Man of Steel. He packed on 40 pounds of muscle for the role in a time when he did not have the privilege of high priced personal trainers and supplements. Cavill was given carte blanche personal trainers and dieticians.

They have about a 2 inch differential I am pretty sure, anyway.

I thought Superman was 6'5 in the comics. Reeve was 6'4, but his boots in Superman must have been flats, because Gene Hackman was not much shorter, and Margot Kidder in heels looked like a tall woman next to him. He was a great looking guy all around.

I think Christopher Reeve was one of the few men in Hollywood that was actually honest about his height, he was indeed a full 6-4, and he was physically larger than the comic book Superman who was 6-3. I do not think there was ever a better choice of casting for a Superhero than Reeve, he truly embodied Superman. On an interesting note Robin Williams was his roommate while they were at Julliard. Now they are both in heaven, kind of sad that Williams passed away nearly 10 years after Reeve.

He wore completely flat boots in Superman, like if he were walking barefoot. 6'2" Gene Hackman wore cowboy boots with considerable heels and looked a little shorter than him. I'd say 6'4" is right. (They later added heels to the Superman boots in the movie Superman Returns.)

That is unless you can provide real evidence for us all to see that's any different. Simply saying something, empty of anything but, doesn't make it fact nor does it contradict proper tangible visual proof. It's obviously just someone making up whatever excuses they need because they've seen something they don't like.

Reeve towered over Arnold even back in the 80's --I don't see Arnold being being close to 6'1' or 6'2" ???? HOw can anyone believe he was ever that height?

That is unless you can provide real evidence for us all to see that's any different. Simply saying something, empty of anything but, doesn't make it fact nor does it contradict proper tangible visual proof. It's obviously just someone making up whatever excuses they need because they've seen something they don't like.
This "guy" belives the photo was made up...could someone please re-post that profile shot of Reeve and Arnold talking and Arnold looking up when speaking to the Superman. It did exist on this site and has been removed or aged out. Thanks in advance if anyone can back me up on Reeve looking down at Arnold in this photo.

6'4" or just a shade under (he said "about" 6'4") sounds correct. I doubt he was the kind of man who would lie about his height.

" a horrible actor" would not have pulled off Superman:The Movie! And bring a comic book to life. Not to mention, opened the door for superhero films today!
He fit the bill and did the job--no other actor at that time would suffice.

6'3.5" - 6'4". He was that tall. Anything less is probably just a bad camera angle, poor posture, foot ware etc.

He appears to be the same height of 6'3.5 Chevy Chase ""with a lean"" (and Chase looks also to be pushing him down), but if he stood straight he would be for sure taller.

LOL, this website is so ridiculous. It's somewhat interesting to discuss the heights of people like Tom Cruise and certainly makes all of us poorer and uglier people feel better about ourselves. But here you have Christopher Reeve, who was obviously a very tall man as there wasn't a movie he was in that he wasn't taller than everyone else, who said many times and has had said many times of him that he was exactly 6'4", who had giant-sized kids with an average sized woman, and people are arguing whether he was 6'4" or 6'3.5", as if it is humanly possible to tell 0.5 inches from pictures in which there are many variables (footwear, incline, angle, positioning, slouching - of which he was notorious for, not surprising since many people who tower over everyone else have the same tendency...), or as if it even matters at all whether he was really tall or really tall + half an inch. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Gosset Jr is 6'3.5" as was posted below in a series of pics with Christopher Reeves height. Christopher is slouching in that photo with Gosset Jr as well, you can tell if he stood up straight he'd have about at least 0.5" on Gosset Jr. He was a legit 6'4", especially considering he was measured at that height so many times!

Because the continuity was based in the same universe as the Reeve movies they wanted to keep Routh on (pardon the pun) equal footing, thats why they felt the need to boost his Height from 6ft 2.5" to Reeve's heigh of 6ft 4". Still they could have made the soles a little less obvious. Reeve's boots were actually thin soled wrestling boots, that laced up at the back.

Actaully, Brandon Routh's Superman shoes did not have huge heels. What everyone mistakes for a heel is an emblem that covers that part of the shoe where it meets the heel.

"he didn't look like 6'4" to me looked more like 6'3.5".
WTF!? How can you tell that? a person standing still could turn on there heel and come out looking 2 inches shorter. Thats so ridiculous that you're disputing an inch to half inch when the fact is you don't know and never will.
Why shouldn't he be 6'4"? why do you HAVE to dispute someones height? Especially from photos? I could pick out 100 photos of me and my dad. He's 6'1" i'm 5'10". It'll vary from picture to picture sometimes we even look the same height - in a picture!
But the fact is i'm still 5'10" and he's still 6'1" and whether a picture contradicts it or not its a fact. christopher reeve, however he looked in "some picture once", was 6'4". Nuff said

Ridiculous. He was a strong 6'4". His Superman boots had almost no soles, they were just floppy rubber things, whereas 6'2" Brandon Routh wore huge heels on his boots. His kids are giants. His son Matthew was at least a couple inches taller than Obama in a picture I saw of the two of them. And how on Earth can you tell 1/2 an inch so definitively, especially if you've never even met a person!?

What I find interesting is in Superman 1 and 2 did you see the sheer size of the soles on Jack O Hallorans boots? I would say at least 3.5"-4" I think they wanted him to look clearly taller than Reeve and not just by 2 inches. Has anyone seen the Donner Cut of Superman II?

I doubt he was 6 ft 5 because he was shorter than Tony Todd in the BlackFox Made for TV films. Though you can roughly gauge his height by comparing him to Mark Pillow (6ft 3") who played Neuclear Man in Superman IV. In several scenes Reeve clearly had at least an inch on him. I believe he was definately around the 6ft 4 mark.

Anonymous: Arnold's all time highest competition weight was at the 1971 Mr. Olympia when he weighed 251.4 pounds at the pre-judging.
Arnold was 235 pounds at the 1974 Olympia Pre-judging weigh in. After the pre-judging was over, he ate lots of carrot cake to put weight on quickly for the pose-off against 265 pounds Lou Ferigno. At the evening show, he showed up on stage at a 240 - 241 pounds.
Arnold was 225 pounds in 1975 Olympia because he lost 40 pounds (coming down from 250 pounds off-season weight to 210 pounds for the "Stay Hungry" movie, as requested by the producer). He could not regain all pure muscle mass in time and by time he finished dieting for contest, he was only 225 pounds.

When did I say Arnold was less than 225 in any other Olympia? Yes he was 225 in 1975, which is what I said. I never said he was less than that or only that in earlier ones. He was 235 in 1974 and claimed that to be his all time best.
Back to Reeve, I put him at about 6'4", and around 210 when Superman I & II were filmed. I would say he was bigger, and really around 225 for Superman III, not a good movie, but Reeve's all time biggest/best shape IMHO.
The reason Reeve was not as "BIG" looking as Arnold at the same weight is 2 reasons:
1. Arnold had an even lower bodyfat%, meaning more of his weight was muscle.
2. The height difference. ON the Ponderal scaling index (far more accurate than BMI for comparing body shapes of different heights) 225 at 6'1" would translate to 253 at a height of 6'4". So for his height, Reeve was comparatively 28 mounds lighter.
If you want to get really technical, the comic book superman is 6'3" and 225 so if Reeve was to be as thick as him, at just one inch taller, he would need to be 235 with very low bodyfat. That would still look almost 20 pounds ligher than Arnold did in 1975, if you want a reference.
