Hey @Hong, just a heads up, that was a movie prop for The Blues Brothers. It also shows John Belushi's character as being 5'9 with his character's driver's license.

He might be dipping below 6'0 by a bit these days. Peak height looked around 6'1, although I would definitely give Murray the edge.

Decent enough 6ft1 in the 80's-90's, Murray likely had a centimeter or so on him though

peak legit 185 cm probably about 185,5 and today i think he is not down to 183 already but maybe little under 184.

I think Dan is actually more likely a bit under six foot these days. Recently Bill Murray looked taller than him by a bit but back in their younger days they looked pretty much the same height.

Aykroyd ooked all of 6ft1 in the 80's. I'm more inclined to place Murray at 186-187cm and Ramis 188-189cm can downgrade Dan

I think he was a weak 6'1 (more like 6'0.75), Murray was a strong 6'1 (6'1.25) and Ramis around 6'1.5.

6ft peak is too low. That brings Murray down to a similar mark, Ramis at 6ft1 and pushes Tom Hanks to 5ft11
There’s a fair argument that he wasn’t as strong 6ft1 as Murray though who really should be given 186cm peak

Hi again! I must change my guess about Mr Aykroyd. Last night I was watching the movie "Trading" and next to Eddie Murphy and other actors like jamie Lee Curtis , Dan looks 183cm not more, so 183cm or 6feet was his height in prime time.
Nowadays maybe 181cm strong 180 cm. Excelent actor Mr Aykroyd in comedy roles.

Dan might fall into the same just about 6ft 1 range.

Aykroyd never looked 6 ft ONE in Ghostbusters (neither did Murray, or Hudson or anyone except Ramis really). Even 6 foot flat is a bit of a stretch for Aykroyd as I think he's a tiny bit shorter than Murray.
Would not surprise me one bit if it turned out he's 5'11".
BTW I wonder if there's a statistic somewhere of how many male actors/celebrities say they're "6 foot" (or more)? Got to be 90% of them.

He did look the same height as Bill Murray in Ghostbusters and towered over Eddie Murphy in Trading Places. Chevy Chase looked three inches taller in Spies Like Us. Morgan Freeman looked about two inches taller in Driving Miss Daisy, but Aykroyd was playing an older man and had to slouch a little. I would say a pretty solid 6'1 at peak. I actually saw him once in New York. He was a pretty big guy.

I wouldn't rule out 186cm peakfor Aykroyd who looks pretty even with Murray here, and Ernie Hudson looks a minimum of 183 cm or possibly even 184cm in his ghostbusting days. And yes, 182 cm for Dan in his youth is definitely a joke!

I was watching Ghostbuster movie yesterday night. And depending on angle camera Murray seems a bit taller than Aykroyd but in others angles they looked similar. Who is clearly more taller than Aykroyd and Murray is Harold Ramis.
So Aykroyd's height was very close than Murray's height. Aykroyd has a bad posture if you walking with bad posture you seems shorter than other people similar you.
I see to Aykroyd in 185-186 zone
Murray was a strong 186 cm 187 in peak

In the movie "Into the Night" he stars alongside Jeff Goldblum, who've I've met and know to be 6'3 and some change, and he looks 5'11 next to Goldblum. Among other movies I've seen him in I think his peak is 6'0 and his current is 5'11.

Bill 185cm today.. 187cm peak
Dan 183cm today.. 185cm peak
Also Dan Akroyd has a short role in the Spielberg's movie Indiana Jones and the temple of doom.
He was "Weaber" the Indy's assistant.He
Seems a bit taller than Harrison.
You can see this after scene in obi wan's Club. Dan Akroyd is wait at the airport.

I could see an argument for 186cm peak. Him and Murray could pass for 6ft2 at times because they both had great posture. Aykroyd's gotten heavy over the years which may have affected his height

I have hard time to imagine him as tall as other 6'1 guys like Obama, Josh Holloway, Jim Caviezel but again i've seen only this movie of his... I remember he didn't look that much taller than 5'7 listed Jamie Lee Curtis in some scenes (and she didn't wear particularly big heels)...

Yeah he's a hefty dude but he has good posture and is most likely still a solid 6fter today. Back in the 80's he was quite slim and could give a 6ft2 impression at times. Definitely not under 6ft1 at peak and possibly was a fraction over like Murray. I think I heard him claim 6ft2 elsewhere.

I've hung out with Dan Akroyd and used to hand out with John Candy back in the Toronto days and both guys were bigger than average thats for sure. Dan is easily 6,1" and Candy was id say a bit taller around 6' 2". Never met Murry but I did know Chevy when I lived in LA and he was tallest of that group around 6'4".

Dan is easily 6,1" and Candy was id say a bit taller around 6' 2". Never met Murry but I did know Chevy when I lived in LA and he was tallest of that group around 6'4".

"Peak height was 6ft 1.5in (187cm)"
Wasn't much shorter than 6ft2-6ft3 range men, like John Cusack, Harold Ramis, John Candy and Morgan Freeman.

Rob he is 61 and still hasn't lost any height how is that possible men by his age would have lost height even at 55 56 57 58 59 and 60 he didn't lose any height do you think he start too lose height soon he might go down too 6ft 0in maybe even 5ft 11in maybe even in like 4 years time he start too lose height like an inch or two.

In The Great Outdoors he looks virtually the same height as John Candy, who is listed as being 6'2". At the most he looked 0.5 in shorter, Candy was a strong 6'2" so I think at his peak Aykroyd was around 6'1.5".

I got to meet him today. He was in town signing autographs for his Crystal Head vodka. I got a picture with him, but unfortunately he took them all sitting down since he was signing autographs. When he first arrived though he was standing beside my friend at one point who is 5'11 and Aykroyd looked to have about an inch and a half on him, so I would estimate him at about 6'0.5 now. This was about 1pm so he may still even be 6'1 out of bed, but he was definitely that and maybe a little more in his prime.

He'll be 60 next year, believe it or not so there is a good chance he's maybe dropped 0.5in.

The photo from Jacob Dec '09 below where he claims Murray is wearing regular shoes and Aykroyd boots is incorrect. Murray has his pants legs over his boots and Aykroyd's tucked in. Also, Aykroyd has his head tilted downward so it is obvious that they are almost the exact same height.

No way is Aykroyd 6'2. He was only 6'1 at his peak and so was Bill Murray. The difference is Bill Murray has great posture and Dan slumps a lot. If you're to believe Dan is 6'2, that would make Steve Martin over 6ft. John Candy was 6'2, although he could look shorter due to his hunched back.

Hey, Rob, I think Dan is a 6-1.25 man. He looked a smudge taller than pin-straight Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. Were they on SNL at the same time? I don't know, but they're worth comparing when they're together. I'd say 6-1.25 to be sure, especially considering these pictures with Glenn, in which he looks to be almost 6-2.

I saw Dan Aykroyd in midtown Manhattan yesterday. It's funny, I recognized him immediately, even though he was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap. He has a distinctive face. I felt he was about my height.

He always gave me the impression of a pretty tall guy. I thought he was more than 6'1 actually. At least 6'3.

Anyone got an idea for Dan's wife Donna Dixon? Looks about 5'8" to me, but gets listed at 5'9".

Probably more like 6'1.25" or 6'1.5". I think a solid 186cm is most likely the truth.

I know Dan. HE's well over 6 feet. . .so 6'1" seems accurate. Donna (his wife) is around 5'9". He's a sweet guy.

Aykroyd's an easy 6'1 IMO. Him and Murray seemed to be eye to eye in "Ghostbusters". I could believe him being taller, though. He looks 6'2 with Glenn.

He was shorter than 6'3" John Candy. Dan is probably just shy of 6'2".

He was shorter than Jeff Goldblum in Into the night, at least three inches. But you know, Jeff Goldblum towers over everybody

if he is so tall - how tall is Donna Dixon then, who seems awfully close to him in height?

In the video for "Spies Like Us" he is about three inches shorter than Chase and about three inches taller than McCartney, so 6'1 would be pretty darn accurate.

Ayckroyd is 6'1" in inch shoes and 6' no shoes. Just get Spies like us, he's a good 3 inches shorter than 6'4" chevy chase.

Dan Aykroyd's at least 6'1''. I think Bill Murray appeared taller in Ghostbusters because he wore big shoes in that film to make him appear taller than he is against the towering Sigourney Weaver.

He looks 6'1'' in height and width... :D. Sorry, since when is Aykroyd that heavy?
But yes, 6'1'' seems about right... exactly right. You know this film with those heads? I mean those plastic heads, those aliens... Aykroyd could look 6'3'' then.

From showbiz newsgroup: "I've seen him in RL at a local restaurant. It's striking how big his nose it, how beady his little eyes are and how chunk-o-rama he is. He's also quite tall: over 6'"

In "Dragnet" he was clearly taller than Tom Hanks when he stood up straight, so if Hanks was 6ft then he must have been 6'1. Him and Bill Murray were extremely close in height on SNL.
