Danny Glover's Height
6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 3 (190.5 cm)
American actor best known for The Lethal Weapon series, Predator 2 and SAW. He once described himself as "someone that's 6'3" or 6'4" and in an IndieLondon article said "I'm like 6ft 3ins or something like that".
5ft 8 Rob and Danny (age 67) @ LFCC 2013
When you're tall, lanky and a little bit awkward, you don't want to draw attention to yourself. A lot of my life has been spent trying not to attract attention to my physical self. I admit that's pretty hard when you're 6-feet-4.

I was wondering why the average Danny is only 5ft8.66; then I remembered that we have the 4ft10 Danny de Vito, but even smaller than DeVito is a guy called Danny Woodburn. He is a minuscule 3ft11, unless Iβm much mistaken.
Iβll be back if I have this fact wrong.
Danny, who was a knock-out in the Lethal Weapon franchise, the first two of which I saw at the pictures, where I was able to marvel at his 6ft3 height, gets exactly that for his peak and 6ft1.25 for todayβs height. I enjoyed the scene wherein his young son is rapping at the dinner table, and by the looks of him, so did Mel Gibson!

Having just read an old comment of mine, I fancy picking about on a Christmas dinner right now! π
I have a craving for sage and onion stuffing and Brussels sprouts, and the rest wouldnβt go a miss either!
The fantastic Danny gets 6ft3 for his peak and 1.75β less today.

If ROb would meet him today then i think he would be listed at 6 foot. He shrinks faster than Eastwood. Peak seemed around 190 cm. I think he could look under it sometimes but in predator 2 he ralla had a good amount of height on Bill paxton and gary busey: hard to argue under 6Β΄3 beside them ( at the same time adam baldwin did look more than 1 inch taller but i guess he had big boots on and military posture. In reality there was 1 inch. Also i have mentioned this before but my my 194 cm firend meet him on a con maybe close to 10 years back and he thought " at best 184".

He was one of the most legit solid 6β3β actors IMO at peak. He may have shrunk considerably but itβs not as severe as Clint Eastwood.

He was one of the tallest actors in Predator 2. Glover wasn't 6'2.75" in 2013. Rob knows it. At age 67 I won't be 6'4".

he is probably down to 183 now. he was shorter than bill murray in a zombiemovie from 1-2 years ago. An bill murray ha probably went from 186 to 184,5-85 now.

Peak height, I can see being 6'3 and still looked 6'1 with Rob.
These days however he looks like he's lost a little more height and can even struggle to
look over 6'0 1/2 at times. 6'0 3/4 might be likely these days.

Danny Glover has lost a lot of height for sure. Around 6'3 is reasonable for his peak height. The only film I've seen him in is "The Royal Tenenbaums" and he is indeed noticeably tall in that film.

@BalticGuy: I think Glover's eye level is more like 5".
He was never 6'4", but he could have been reasonably close to 6'3". Gibson wore cowboy boots in the first 3 Lethal Weapon films and he was the bigger star and main action hero of the films, which explains why they wanted to minimize the difference. Glover had a habit of slouching a lot next to Mel and others as well. You can see at the Lethal Weapon 4 premiere that Glover never stands remotely straight, but still towered over the entire cast in his early 50s. He had to have still been at least 6'2.5" at that time.
You have Mel Gibson right at 5'9" peak and on the rare occasion Mel wore regular dress shoes, Glover did indeed tower over him at the 1988 Oscar's. Here's how Glover looked standing tall next to Mel onstage: Click Here That's definitely a 6" difference. And in this wider shot off from the 1988 Oscars, Glover looks 7" taller! Click Here
He wasn't 6'4", but I'd say he was reasonably close to 6'3". I'd guess 6'2.75" based on how he looked with 6'4" Adam Baldwin in Predator 2. Clint Eastwood was probably 6'2.75" range in 1992 and Danny Glover looks similar: Click Here

did look 190 cm peak but maybe he could have been the full 6Β΄3 peak. Today i think he is under 6Β΄1. My 194 cm firned meet him at a convention couple years ago and hedidnt think he was over 184 cm, maybe just bad posture but at the same time current Bill Murray did look 1 icnh taller than him also. I tink he was 190 and now 184 and west with early morning height or shoe height and rounded up.

6'1"? Now in that photo. No, not these days. Maybe in his prime he might have gotten close to that but if that's a 5'8" Rob, there's no WAY the man next to him is 6'1". 5'9, 5'9.5" is about the eye level of a 6'1" man. Rob's head here is square on his eye level. I'm calling it: Current Danny Glover: maximum height of 6'0", minimum of 5'11". Call it even 5'11.5" and you're likely really close to the ballpark. PRIME Danny Glover? Maybe, I don't know. I could believe he could get almost there in his prime but DEFINITELY not a legit 6'1" in that photo.

i Think this guy lost height pretty early and about the time he was making saw he could have been down to maybe almost 189 from a peak of 6Β΄3. today i dont Think he measure 6Β΄1 anymore. my friend thought he looked about 183-184 5 years ago ( of course he measure taller than he looks with that posture) lets say he was legit 6 foot 1 5 years ago, then he really must be down to 184 today. beside Dwayne johnson he looks mutch shorter than this. if i didnt know who he was and just looked at him beside Dwayne then i would guess 183 and not a mm over.

@viper: I was a big Bonds fan so I remember that show. Wasn't it on ESPN? Unfortunately, I don't remember how he looked with Glover, but I'll definitely try to find it. Bonds is an excellent reference since he's one of the guys whose height I'm most certain of, but I am surprised Danny looked that tall with him when he was pushing 60 since I wouldn't have guessed Danny was still at his peak height. It's clear Danny was taller than just 6'1"-6'2" range. I only disagree slightly in that I think it's possible Glover was just below 6'3" because he did seem a full inch shorter than 6'4" Adam Baldwin in Predator 2 and he didn't look taller than Clint Eastwood in 1992: Click Here and I think Clint may have dropped just below 6'3" to something like 6'2.75" or 190 cm himself sometime between The Dead Pool(1988) and In The Line of Fire(1993), but it's possible Clint was still a full 6'3". I think there's a very good chance Danny was your height(6'3" midday and 6'2.75" at his low?) and if he wasn't a full 6'3", I think he was at least very close at something like 6'2.75".
How tall would a 55 year old Danny be in this 2002 pic if he weren't leaning? Click Here Mel just about reaches the bottom of Danny's eye, which would be a 5" difference based on the mugshot in Rob's photo with Danny, though I get more of a 4.5" difference between their heads in the photo. But considering Mel is standing perfectly, this photo suggests there was still more than a 5" difference between them in 2002. Interestingly, this photo of them from the same night was included in an article in The Guardian about famous men who wear lifts: Click Here The article tried to support this by pointing out that Mel looked like he was standing on his toes. I've posted quite a few shots of Mel wearing lifts and elevators over the years, but I actually think there's a good chance he didn't have any lifts in this case. Imo, the angle is inconclusive and I'd have to see more of his shoes to say one way or another, but 2002 was possibly the period of time I saw Mel wear normal dress shoes the most excluding the early part of his career. Of course, it may just be that Mel simply did go up on his toes for that photo since he's been photographed tip-toeing more than once.
@Jtm: Well then for those who share your views on Mel and Rock, I guess I unintentionally made the argument for a 6'2" max Glover and ironically, that one '88 Oscars photo does make Mel look 5'8" max. Seems I'm providing arguments against my own positions lol. But I still think 5'9" flat is the most probable guess for Mel. As for Rock, I agree with Rob's 5'10" listing partially because Rock had at least a solid inch on Mel in the Lethal Weapon 4 behind the scenes video, but also because Rock is taller than Adam Sandler, though Rock is definitely no taller than 5'10" and I think as low as 5'9.5" is possible. Either way, I agree Danny's height loss is so striking that it's obvious he's lost considerably more than the average 70 year old man.

@Jtm: Well then for those who share your views on Mel and Rock, I guess I unintentionally made the argument for a 6'2" max Glover and ironically, that one '88 Oscars photo does make Mel look 5'8" max. Seems I'm providing arguments against my own positions lol. But I still think 5'9" flat is the most probable guess for Mel. As for Rock, I agree with Rob's 5'10" listing partially because Rock had at least a solid inch on Mel in the Lethal Weapon 4 behind the scenes video, but also because Rock is taller than Adam Sandler, though Rock is definitely no taller than 5'10" and I think as low as 5'9.5" is possible. Either way, I agree Danny's height loss is so striking that it's obvious he's lost considerably more than the average 70 year old man.

If Danny was only 6'1.5"-6'2" peak, that would mean Mel Gibson was only 5'7.5"-5'8", Adam Baldwin was only a weak 6'3" peak and Chris Rock was 5'9" max.
i actually do think rock is 5'9 max and gibson 5'7.5-5'8 but i agree that glover was over 6'2 peak. he has really lost a lot of height.

I thought it was pretty obvious he looked 6-3 in movies.
Hell he could look even taller than that at times.

Barry Bonds had a short-lived reality show following him around in 2005.
Danny Glover shook hands with him. Bonds is 6-1 and Glover had an EASY 2 inches on him.

I just found 2 more photos of Danny at the 1988 Oscars with Mel: Click Here Click Here I've posted the video before and stills like this showing how Danny could look when he stood tall: Click Here Click Here Notice Mel consistently only reaches the lower part of Danny's nose, which the mugshot above shows is a 6"+ difference. As I've posted before, there's this full pic from those Oscars where Danny can look 7" taller! Click Here I don't think Danny was 7" taller, but this further solidifies a full 6" difference that night as shown in the other pics. This is the only time I can remember seeing Danny stand tall at times with Mel in dress shoes when they were both at their peaks and I now have to say, Danny probably was a full 6'3" or very close to it. Of course, Mel's height is a matter of debate. Some argue he's as tall as the 5'9.5" Rob lists him, others argue he's no taller than 5'8" and I personally have him at 5'9" flat meaning it makes sense for me to give Danny a full 6'3" there.
It's easy to forget how tall Danny could look with good posture in the 80's or even the 90's for that matter. When he wasn't slouching, he generally had 5" on Mel in Lethal Weapon 1, 2 and 4, especially in wider shots and I thought a 51 year old Danny could still look near 5" taller than 5'10" Chris Rock at times in Lethal Weapon 4. I don't remember a good scene for comparing Glover and Ford in Witness and I believe Ford was most likely around 6'0.25" peak myself, but I do remember Danny gave a very tall impression in that film. I'd guess there's a better chance of 190 cm than 191, but I'm coming around to the strong possibility of right in between at 190.5 or 6'3". I was skeptical, but some men simply lose a lot of height and with Danny looking increasingly hunched and even frail the last decade, he seems to be one of them. I have no doubt he's shrunk considerably more than the average man when I look at him in his prime and compare that to how he looks now.

He had to be taller than 6β3β at peak, come on Rob. I mean, watching the Lethal Weapon movies, he made the diminutive Joe Pesci look downright puny. If he was truly 6β3β peak height, then Joe Pesci couldnβt have been taller than like 5β1β-5β2β and I think Iβm being generous because Joe barely looked 5β0β next to him and Mel Gibson who is only 5β9β himself. He looked quite a bit taller than Mel Gibson in the LW movies. Itβs obvious that he lost a lot of height, but I think he looked closer to 6β4β than 6β3β at peak.

Actually If you straighten his head out to match Rob's he is about 6'0-1/2", maybe 6'0-3/4. This is of course at age 67 ( When he took this pic). He was likely around 1.25 taller in his heydey which puts him at 6'2". He only inflated his height by an inch with a 6'3 claim so thats not shocking, but he was nowhere near 6'4.

His build does give him tall look but he is shrinking and hasnt landed a decent role in a spell.
Remember he made peak harry ford look average or less in a bit part. "possibly over this mark in 30s"

He looked a good inch shorter than Baldwin to me. I can buy as tall as 6'3" in his prime as he could seem very tall in the 80s, but nothing above that. Personally, I think he was a weak 6'3" or 190 cm, exactly the average guess at the moment and shrunk down to a flat 6'1". That's a significant height loss as it is for a seemingly healthy 70 year old. I guess he was 186 cm when Rob met him at 66-67 years old.

Danny doesn't look over 6ft in the above picture, but it might just be the picture at fault!
I was chatting about his 'Lethal Weapon' co-star just the other day, (Mel Gibson) and Danny does cut a fine figure of well over 6ft in those terrific films, there's no getting away from it!
Wasn't it 1987 when the first of them came to our screens? Well, either that or 1988, and Danny's character was celebrating his 50th Birthday in the first one, moaning that he was "getting too old for this....!" (chaotic Police work!)
Whether he was a true 50 or not, I assume his height was at its optimum then; not many men have lost any appreciable height at 50, so I will go for 6ft2.5 peak and 6ft1 for today's height.

Going off memory, it typically looked 4-5 inches in the Lethal Weapon films without discriminating regarding wide shots vs close shots.
I don't fault anyone for wearing lifts(as I'd have to fault myself!) have no doubt Mel has worn lifts frequently and of course, has worn cowboy boots more than anything else for decades. If you look at 2006-2007 comments on the Steve Guttenberg and Simon Cowell pages for instance, Rob was mentioning Mel's footwear in the same vein as Sly back when Mel's page was more popular and for good reason. Not just with much taller guys either. If you look at all of Mel's appearances on the Tonight Show with Leno, when he wasn't wearing cowboy boots, he had obvious elevator shoes multiple times. Aside from Mel's big hair advantage, Gibson wore cowboy boots in the first 3 films, which alone could give Gibson as much as an inch over Glover's shoes even without a lift and a minimum 2 cm advantage. Then you consider Glover will drop a couple of inches slouching while Mel consistently stands well and finally, if we have a star of a blockbuster action franchise, whose sidekick towers over him by perhaps half a foot, they'll undoubtedly work to minimize this. It's routine practice to minimize big height differences regardless in films for aesthetic purposes. I'd take anything outside of a wide shot with a grain of salt. If you see the scene where the two are walking in the parking garage in the first film, the difference can look pretty big considering Mel's cowboy boots and hat. I'm not certain he had extra lifts inside his cowboy boots in that film, though, but I'm almost positive by the 3rd as those ones looked thick like the Burt Reynolds or Chuck Norris type: Click Here If he wore lifts in the first, then it was probably an insert as the boots themselves looked like any other cowboy boot to me. I don't think Mel became height conscious until around that time or after when he likely got tired of hearing he was 5'4", 5'6", 5'7", 5'8" etc.
The key is seeing them when Mel doesn't have his boots or other suspicious footwear. This pic from the '88 Oscars shows there's a very large difference between the two: Click Here Now I'm sure with at least a 7" difference there the picture favors Glover - perhaps the photographer on his side or Danny is slightly closer - but that does support the 6 inch difference I saw on the video from that night when Danny stood tall. If you look at the Lethal Weapon 4 premiere, I'm almost positive Mel had normal shoes with no lifts there and you can't find Danny standing halfway decently that day, but it's obvious he'd still be more than 5 inches taller than Mel so Danny doesn't seem to have lost much at all by 1998. Even as late as 2002, Mel standing perfectly struggles to reach Danny's eyes even when he's leaning noticeably: Click Here Danny must have still been over 6'2" then, but the difference between the two now 15 years ago is much smaller.

The more I think about it, regardless of why Glover has lost so much height, it's actually quite obvious he's lost significantly more than the typical 70 year old. I posted this video of Mel Gibson and Danny at the recent Richard Donner tribute on Mel's page: Click Here The difference looks 3 inches or less most of the video, except maybe when Danny stands better around 4:34, 5:03 and 6:45. Plus, a recent photo: Click Here Don't know how much Mel's boots add there, but now a 41 year old Glover with Mel: Click Here and a still of when Glover straightened up: Click Here You can see back in '88, Danny towered over Mel by what I'd say is 6 inches, but now, I don't think you could call the height difference towering. Danny has gone from a very tall man to a man who often doesn't look that tall with his posture. That's a notable characteristic of his completely changing. For another comparison, Danny was on Criminal Minds a few years ago and there didn't seem to be too much of a difference between him and Shemar Moore, who Rob has at 6 feet, but go back to the late 80s/early 90s and compare Danny to Gary Busey who Rob also has at 6 feet and there was definitely a noticeable difference between the two. 6'2.75" or 6'3" are both probably fine.

Fair enough, Rob. He could definitely look as tall as 6'3", but the 6'2.75" could look possible as well. Definitely no more or less than that range with Adam Baldwin, but even if Glover was still 186 then, losing 1.75" by that time makes me raise an eyebrow. I suppose I shouldn't assume too much without looking into his history, but I don't think a guy like Glover did enough stunts, weights etc. to account for it. His tendency to slouch a lot with shorter people may have not helped, though.

Editor Rob Almost 2 inches does seem a lot...I could understand an almost 6ft 3 listing.
RisingForce said on 6/Jun/17
Rob, Danny was only 66-67 when you met him, that type of loss seems pretty extreme for someone Danny's age without anything to explain such an usual loss. Do you think 190 cm peak might be more likely then? He doesn't seem sure of his height with either quote. He could look quite tall in the 80s, but then so could someone just under 6'3", especially on screen. I can easily see a legit 6'3" like Jimmy Smits being taller.

Editor Rob I think 6ft 3 and 1 today is believable, although that day he may well have still measured over 6ft 1.
Mike said on 23/May/17
I still think he is over 6ft 1. He has a big forehead, plus he is not standing at his tallest, up straight there would be at least 5-5.75 inches between them.

RisingForce said on 18/May/17
190 cm peak is definitely more likely, imo if he was a 6'1" guy when Rob met him at 66-67 years old, a full 2" loss is a bit much. In fact, even the 4.5 cm I'm assuming he lost by that age is a lot. A guy like Carl Weathers, who I'd expect more injuries from has maintained around 6'1". Height loss definitely can vary a lot, but even a peak of 190 cm puts Danny well above normal height loss. With that said, he could look a solid 6'3" at times such as when he stood straight, I thought he had a solid 6 inches on 5'9" Mel Gibson when Gibson didn't have his cowboy boots at the 1988 Oscars.

Fact is he isn't much over 6'0 tall nowadays, its how tall he was in his prime that is the case. How people can look at his picture with Rob Now and still get 6'1" is very Odd to me.
Guys his age normally should loose about 1.25". Him being only 6'1.25" doesn't sound right either. I would have thought he was around 6'2.5" at least.
He certainly is not 6'1" Nowadays, Def Shorter.

Posture comes in to play. He's probably 6'1.5" range but looks much shorter because he can't hold himself up. My dad was 6'3" peak and is now 6'2"--6'2.25" range at 64 years old(I have personally and accurately measured him recently at 6'2, 6'2.25, and 6'2.5). At most he has only lost an inch but if you would walk by him you would think he is 6'0"--6'1" because he slouches hard. I think this is the case for Glover. Probably over 6'1" but under 6'2".

Yeah, and I've come to the realization that older celebrities tend to be more honest about their height, where as younger ones inflate theirs sometimes up to 2 or 3 inches. Some examples: Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Luke Hemmings (although Luke himself claims 6', some websites, including Google, has him at a ridiculous 6'4"!)

Stood next to him about 25 years ago. Remember, this was before the internet where we could research this stuff. I always thought he was tall from the movies I saw. I'm 6-3 w/o shoes -maybe 6'4 1/2 in the boots I was wearing. But I remember being surprised at how short he was. I'm sure my perspective was thrown off by my boots, but I certainly wouldn't have been surprised at how short he was if he was only an inch or so shorter than I was when in my boots. (I have no idea what of heel was in the shoes he was wearing...didn't even look. But, it was a dress-up event (which I was not apart of -thus the boots). I was looking down on him quite a bit.
I'd put him at 5-11 to 6-0, and that's being generous.
Again, that's around 1990 +/- a year or so.

His mouth is above Rob's eyelevel, so he looks 6'1... if he were to stand up a bit straighter I could see 6'1.5, so 6'3 or close to it in his prime sounds reasonable, he's getting close to 70 so about 1.5 inches' loss on average is believable.

Editor Rob yes Glover looks taller.
to be fair, Biehn was very similar that day to the photographer (who is near to 5ft 11.5 himself), he might have just edged him.

He looks 6'0 to 6'0.5 with rob , He is not losing a full inch in posture , maybe 1/2 , He is 6'1 , peak is the debate on how much he lost from . Weird how even now outside of Rob and others pics he can look 6'2 minimum. He can even look 6'4 at peak. I'd say based on his 6'1 height now that his peak was just a good 6'2.5

How can people see 6'1 or more here? Glover looks about 5'11-6' max here, nothing more... 6'3 peak? Had he some sort of serious surgeries or major problem at bones, legs, back? It's impossible to lose 2-3 inches naturally, without something serious happening to your body... 6'1 max peak, in my opinion...

Interesting pic with 7'1 Shaq and Glover and this is dated in February 2013. Not sure if its really earlier than that or not. Glover closer to the camera but if he stepped back it would be like a 10 inch difference making him look 6'3! Pic doesn't add up though.

Editor Rob I don't think it looks much, I would put his loss more down to just discs becoming thinner rather and wear and tear.
the shredder said on 7/Jun/14
Rob , is it just posture in his back or height loss from discs in his back that made him lose height? It can also be neck or nees but I agree with back , his neck and head still looks the same. I can't see him measuring over a solid 6'1 standing correct , which is why 6'3 peak seems questionable at times.

@Mugahot - according to medical stats my bum, my granny (79) has dropped about 4 inches, and i can testify to that, and she has NO back condition.... her peak was 5'7 - so you are telling me that much heavier man with a lot more strain on his back cannot loose up to 4 inches? - please. Go back to your medical stats.
