He's 5'11 next to 6'1 ( measured) NFL Player Dewayne Robertson.

I always thought he was Sub- 6'0".

5'7 and a fraction said on 14/May/23
I would stick with 6'0 1/4 peak.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/May/23
Easily looked 6ft0½ peak

RoyzDaBoi said on 20/Apr/23
Sorry, I meant Zel would have been in the 184 range NOT 174cms lol.

RoyzDaBoi said on 15/Apr/23
Looked a couple of inches taller than Ethan Hawke in Training Day (2001). If Hawke is around 179cms then Zel was likely in the 174cms range. I'd go around 182cms nowadays with age.

Ricardo juarez said on 25/Mar/23
Reynolds le saca poquito mas de 5 centimetros en la foto de arriba le saca 6 en mi opinion pero denzel esta algo encorvado eso le resta altura, le doy 6 pies aun siento que tiene esa altura

1.83

5'7" Heaven said on 6/Mar/23
@rob Do you know how tall Rubin Carter likely was? Was he really the listed 5'8"?

Abdulrahman said on 27/Dec/22
Peak / 183

Today / 181

Joe Ponce said on 17/Nov/22
Could he be upgraded to a 6'½", Rob? I think it's possible.

Okidoki said on 16/Oct/22
One of the greatest, phenomenal actor, one of my personal favorites. Movies like Training day, good memories.

@Rob He and Marton Csokas can look really close at times, did Denzel have a noticeable footwear advantage in the Equalizer? Through his career until his 60s, he has maintained a really good posture.

Peter 180cm said on 29/Sep/22
181.5cm nowadays and 183cm peak, with a chance of a fraction less at worst.

Slim1.75m said on 19/Sep/22
Rob could 5'11½ be argued now

Joe Ponce said on 24/Aug/22
His peak should really be 6'½"

Slim1.75m said on 20/Aug/22
Rob has he lost a another fraction maybe 5'11½

Jawilder said on 31/Jul/22
Prob half inch taller than 5’11.75 Tom Hanks peak height.

Slim1.75m said on 30/Jul/22
Hey Rob would Denzel Washington & Wentworth Miller measure similar in height range maybe 6'0⅜

Eli Shahar said on 9/Jul/22
Right now I think 5’11.5, and back then 6’0.5 for sure for him. Was a tall guy! Good listing as always Rob 👍

Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 8/Jan/22
Peak 6'0,5
Current is 181,5-182,5

181.6cm guy said on 28/Dec/21
Peak - 6'0-6'0.25 - 183-183.5cm
Current - 5'11.5 - 181-182cm

Truthteller27 said on 7/Dec/21
Peak Denzel was 6'1 now he might be a little under 6'0.

Canson said on 16/Nov/21
5’11.5 is safe

lemon said on 13/Nov/21
Hi Rob, don't you think Denzel is shorter than that nowadays? Take a look at him with Harry Melling Click Here

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Oct/21
Hanks at 6ft flat and Washington & Travolta nudging 6ft0½ a possibility Rob?



Out of all of them John has lost the most height though

Crixus said on 21/Oct/21
He's lost a decent bit since Training Day from 20 years ago. 6'.5" peak and struggles to maintain 5'11 now.

Dongofsong said on 25/Sep/21
No way ethan hawke is 5.10 if denzi was over 6ft!!

recapa said on 15/Sep/21
183-183.5 peak ,181-182 nowdays.

Slim 6'1.5" said on 18/Aug/21
184 peak is entirely possible

James B 171.5 said on 12/Aug/21
rob John lithgow made denzel look 5ft11.5 in pelican brief

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 16/Jul/21
I'm wondering whether I've seen 'American Gangster'.....🤔

If not, I think I SHOULD! 😁👍

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 16/Jul/21
I mentioned how good his film 'Déjà Vu' is in an earlier comment. Well, 'Training Day' is another blinding film of Denzel's, and just one more reason I happen to be a fan!

6ft0.5 peak and 6ft exactly for today's height.

😁👍🎬

You could definitely argue 6ft0½ for Denzel in this photo if not even 6ft1. I don't see a full 2in between him and Fairbrass...

pov said on 22/May/21
I'd give him 184cm peak, 182cm today

Sonny Black said on 2/May/21
I think Denzel is a tall 5’11. He never looks like a true 6ft in any of his movies imo.

Dmeyer said on 23/Mar/21
Looks much taller than Travolta and Arnold near Fallon

Patm said on 6/Feb/21
Peak was a little over 6ft and he's definitely down to 5ft11 today, I just watched his new movie "the little things" and he wasn't more than 2 inches taller than Jared leto, 5ft11 on the dot today, think he needs a downgrade

Musak said on 15/Jan/21
Almost 180cm guy, Factoring in Denzel’s mini fro compared to Hawke’s hair and both their postures he really doesn’t look over an inch taller to me. I’ll add that he never looked any taller than 5’11.5 Bruce Greenwood or Val Kilmer in Deja Vu, even though his character is described at 6’3 (!!!) at one point in the movie.

Those 1993 pics with John Singleton are interesting, never seen those before.

Vincent Caleb said on 11/Jan/21
Agree with slim 182 cm now, 184 peak is possible. Edged Tom hanks easily. Looks 182 next to 6’2” Reynolds.

Almost 180cm guy said on 10/Jan/21
Denzel might still look around 182cm today, but now he's 66, I'd say he's probably lost a little more than half an inch already. Here are a few more of his photos alongside Ethan Hawke from 2001: Click Here Click Here Click Here
Given the shoe difference, the Denzel might have looked a good two inches taller than Hawke. I am sending a few more photos of him with Will Smith and Halle Berry from 2002: Click Here Click Here Click Here
I can't see a three-centimeter height difference between Will and Denzel. Going back to the 90's then Denzel could also look comfortable at 184 cm. Here are a few more of his photos alongside Whitney Houston from 1996: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
One more photo of Denzel next to Geena Davis in 1990: Click Here
And a few photos of Denzel with Whoopi Goldberg from 1991: Click Here Click Here Click Here
And finally, one of his photos next to Deborah Kara Unger from 2000: Click Here
Obviously Halle, Whitney, Geena, Whoopi, and Deborah were wearing heels. Looking at Denzel alongside people like Will Patton and Tom Sizemore, I would say that Denzel was really 184 cm tall. I think 6ft 0.5 is a number that Denzel might have measured 20 or 30 years ago. Rob, I hope you don't rule out 6ft 0.5 for his peak height, 184cm for me seems fair to Denzel.

Mike Dupre? said on 9/Jan/21
Rob - I think he is 6 ft on the peak and weight in the 180 - 190 pounds?

slim 6'1 said on 5/Jan/21
182 current

slim 6'1 said on 5/Jan/21
184 peak is arguable

Mikester said on 4/Jan/21
i seem to remember he kinda slouches sometimes in his movies. especially when talking to people.

Jtm said on 22/Dec/20
John lithgow was well over 6’3 peak.

Linkus said on 18/Dec/20
That Denzel/Singleton pic was in 1993 apparently, which they should both be at their theoretical peak.

Rampage, what 6’3 guys has Denzel ever held up well with? He’s done two different movies with Lithgow and looked a good 5 inches shorter both times. In one of those movies, Ricochet, he also had a scene where he was face to face with Ice T and looked a half inch taller at most.

I’ve also seen multiple pics of him looking shorter than Bruce Willis but there could be lift shenanigans at play there so idk.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Dec/20
Under 6ft peak is out of the question...held his own next to 6ft3 guys

Rickie said on 10/Dec/20
He's never been a 6ft 1 guy.

Werster said on 8/Dec/20

Rob, how much taller than flat 5’6 John Singleton would you say Zel looks here?

ArchMinded said on 20/Nov/20
Never looks any more than 2 inches taller than his 5’9 son either...

ArchMinded said on 20/Nov/20
Click Here

Rob, here he is over a decade ago looking a good 2 inches (if not a tad more) shorter than 6’1 Obama. Even if he’s lost half an inch or so from his peak, I really don’t think he was ever the full 6 foot at a low.

ArchMinded said on 19/Nov/20
Rob, Denzels one of my favorite actors ever but I really don’t think he was ever over 182ish. Google “Denzel Barry Bonds” and you’d see that back in 2002 Denzel looked 2-2.5 inches shorter than Bonds who is listed everywhere at 6’1.

Aside from that he never looks legit tall in any of his movies, but solidly above average. He really didn’t look any taller than 181cm Dean Cain in Out of Time. Only about an inch taller than strong 5’10 Ethan Hawke. In The Pelican Brief he had dress shoes on the whole time while 172cm Julia Roberts wore flats and he was never over 4 inches taller. Towered by Geena Davis (who had heels on) back in in 1990 Oscars. Was absolutely towered by 6’4-6’5 Ray Allen and 6’4 John Lithgow.

The highest I’d ever argue for an absolute low at his peak is a hair below 6 foot. 182cm peak, 180-181 now.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 27/Oct/20
His film 'Déjà Vu' is fantastique! I ordered myself a copy before it had even finished when I first saw it on TV...

Peak - 6ft.0.25
Now - 5ft11.75

184 was possible

@Rob, is 183.8-184 arguable for peak?

184 is arguable for prime

@Rampage
Is the quote describing Denzel's hands?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Aug/20
"He offers his hand and my own disappears within his grasp, like a child's. He's 6ft 2in, weighs a good 260 pounds"

Slim 6'1" said on 9/Aug/20
182 today is good but he was 184 peak

Alex1.1 said on 8/Aug/20
I'd say a strong 5.11ft guy.

Tall Sam said on 19/Jul/20
He looked a weak six foot by Ryan Reynolds but may have both lost a smidge and was not standing his best. The quarter inch difference from Tom Hanks is believable, they looked very similar but Denzel may have had a very slim margin.

Jam Cherry said on 17/Jun/20
Peak is about 183.5 cm currently about 182 cm spot on listing

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 4/Jun/20
Click Here He still look 6'0 with Jimmy Fallon.

Nearly 180cm guy said on 11/May/20
Denzel was probably a good 184 cm guy. This is another photo of him next to Ethan Hawke from 2001: Click Here
I found a picture of Denzel from 1995 with Tom Sizemore from the movie set, Denzel looked over two inches taller than him: Click Here
Here are some other photos of Denzel with Will Smith and Halle Berry from 2002, I really don't see much of a difference in height between him and Smith: Click Here Click Here Click Here
In 2000, Denzel met Deborah Kara Unger: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here

Here are the pictures of Denzel next to Whoopi Goldberg from 1991: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Whoopi could have been 5ft 4.25 although her hair and heels help her look taller than she was. You can also see a video of them where you can see how big her heels were: Click Here
I think a upgrade to 6ft 0.5 for Denzel would be a good update. Rob, will you do it?

guythinkingaboutheight said on 19/Apr/20
Rob, how tall would you say the guy to the right of Ryan Reynolds looks?

berta said on 14/Apr/20
the only strange thin is that he didnt look a mm over 6 feet and probably just under it if reynolds is 188 flat. BUT if reynolds is 188,5-189 like i think then he was legit 6 feet back when he was 55 ish years old an dprobably had lost barely 1/4 back then

berta said on 14/Apr/20
i think the listing is very good. if i didnt saw how he looked beside tom hanks ( pretty mutch exakt same height) then i would say legit 184 peak but because he was the same height then i think weak 184 is probably right and tom hanks could have been 1/8 over 6 feet, never under it really. exapt now

OriginalAnon said on 10/Apr/20
5'11.25" peak, if he's lucky. Not one cm over 5'10.5" now.

Canson said on 15/Feb/20
I’d say peak height 6’
Current 5’11.5

MikeyO said on 12/Feb/20
@CARLOS Denzel has never been divorced. He's still married to his wife Pauletta.

Jkiller said on 8/Feb/20
Peak 183cm current 182

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Jan/20
Anywhere between 6ft and 6ft1 is arguable peak.

Carlos 1.83 CM said on 23/Jan/20
There is something I do not understand, it is assumed that Denzel Washington measures approximately one meter 83 and his ex-wife Pauletta supposedly according to what he manages to investigate about his height measures around 1.73 or 78, then getting straight to the point, as it is possible that his children John David of 1.75 and Malcolm 1.78 have come out of such short stature? when for a genetics issue they should be higher, at least measure one meter 81-85 or more and not be so vague, since you will see my Father measures 1.85 and my Mother 1.68 (almost a meter 70) and my brother and I we left a meter 81 and 83, surely if my Mother had been about three centimeters taller, my brother and I would be taller than we already were, as if I had had three centimeters less my brother and I would be as or more far away than the Washington brothers in comparison. Anyway I would like very much to clarify that doubt I have in the comment box. Regards ;).

KL7 said on 17/Dec/19
The only thing that gives me pause about an upgrade for a peak Denzel is how he looked next to Keanu in much ado about nothing, don’t tell me that’s a fractional difference at best, he could look 2 inches shy of reeves at times, and he never measured up next to Samuel L Jackson and Gandolfini as well as the similarly listed Travolta did.

Nearly 180cm guy said on 11/Dec/19
Thank you Rob every time you reply to my comments! I accidentally sent the wrong photos when I speak about Denzel's photos next to Julia Roberts from 1993 I meant these photos: Click Here Click Here Click Here
Although the difference between Denzel and Ethan Hawke in 2001 could really look at least 4 cm considering that Ethan had thicker shoes: Click Here Click Here Click Here
You can look at his photos and video from 1996 next to Whitney Houston and you should pay attention to her heels: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here

In general, Denzel looked definitely over 6 feet in the 90s and early 2000s. Rob, how about giving him a peak height of 6 feet and 3/8 inches?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Nov/19
Denzel and Travolta could both have been 6ft0½ peak

Nearly 180cm guy said on 24/Nov/19
Rob, did you look at Denzel's photos next to other people I sent and did you paid attention to footwear? Especially next to Will Patton, whom you met personally?

Nearly 180cm guy said on 23/Nov/19
I fully believe that Denzel was 6'0.5". Here are his photos next to Julia Roberts from 1993: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Now look at their footwear, Julia probably wore heels: Click Here Click Here
Here are his next photos next to Ethan Hawke from 2001, remember that Ethan had thicker shoes than Denzel: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Now someone you met in person! In this 2000 photo, Denzel leans over to Will Patton: Click Here
And now look at two other photos in which Denzel's posture is a bit better: Click Here Click Here
You should also always remember about footwear, it looks like Patton had much thicker shoes than Denzel: Click Here Click Here
In 2000, Denzel was 45 and Patton was 46 and both were probably still at their peak height. Chris Tucker might look 185 cm sometimes, but in 2002 he and Denzel looked like very similar height: Click Here Click Here
In addition, their footwear was similar then: Click Here Click Here
Rob, I think it's time to upgrade to 6'0.5" for peak height of Denzel.

Canson said on 17/Aug/19
He and Dean Cain look the same height in Out of Time

stephen conn said on 28/Jul/19
In 2003 I got his autograph outside his Broadway production of Julius Caesar. I'm 5'8", he was just barely taller than me. I'd say 5'9 1/2" tops.

Johan 185 cm said on 18/Jul/19
Funny seeing people say that Ryan has thicker footwear. In the pic above Denzel has thicker footwear and Ryan is losing height in his spine. I have seen the pics from that event, he isn't standing his fullest.

From another even where footwear was more equal and Ryan stood tall for one pic

Click Here Standing well

Click Here Slouching as usual

Dejavu said on 13/Jul/19
Compared to how he looks next to Chris Pratt and Ryan Reynolds, he looks under 6’0 today. Chris Pratt looked 3 inches taller with more footwear.

@Berta: I’m thinking maybe the listed height at his peak is as high as he would’ve been. Maybe even 6’0” flat and 5’11.5 today. He looks 2” shorter than Ryan Reynolds who claims 6’1/6’2”. Maybe that’s a low for Reynolds tho 6’1.5 or 6’1 5/8

berta said on 21/Jan/19
i think the listed heigh is good. i dont think he ever was the full 6 foot 1/2 inch in the afternoon. He could have been 6 foot 3/8 but also could have been 1/8

Celebheights 6'1.5" said on 19/Jan/19
Denzel Washington looked to be 185-186 CM by Morgan Freeman back in 1998, assuming that Morgan Freeman was standing at a legitimate strong 6’2” at that time. He also edged out Tom Hanks, who seemed to a solid 6’0” back in the day. While I wouldn’t go as high as the full 6’1” in his peak, I could agree with 6’0 3/8”-6’0 5/8”. He would get edged out by Stephen Amell, but would edge out Freddie Prinze Jr.

True_Height said on 31/Dec/18
Denzel is 3 1/2 inches shorter next to legit 6'1 Chris Pratt.

Gracian said on 22/Nov/18
I think that 6'0.5" looks better for his peak height. About 15 years ago Denzel still looked comfortable over 6 feet. Here are his photos with Ethan Hawke from 2001:

In the first picture they are sitting and it is clear that Ethan has a large footwear advantage over Denzel. In the other three photos, the difference between them looks like at least an inch even when Hawke has the advantage of shoes over Denzel.

Halle was wearing high heels then, and the difference between Will and Denzel did not really look like something like 1.25 inches, this is too much. Rob, can you give him an upgrade to 6ft 1/2 inch now?

Rising - 174 cm said on 13/Nov/18
Maybe, but in the photo above, it's more like 2"-2.25" and I also suspect Ryan's shoes are a fraction thicker.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 30/Oct/18
In Safe House Ryan Reynolds had 3 inches on Denzel.

Canson said on 20/Oct/18
I think at his peak he may have been 6’0” flat but is closer to 5’11” today. Probably 5’11.25 or 5’11.5. That’s why people think Ryan reynolds is taller than he actually is. He just looked taller than 6’0” due to the large amount of celebs claiming it who weren’t

6'1" in the 90s. 5'11.75" today.

I think they shot Ricochet in a way that would minimize the difference. They probably do this a lot with Lithgow, who was a legit 6'4". With that said, I don't remember a particularly clear shot of the two. Denzel didn't look that much taller than 5'11.5" listed John Amos, though. Taller, yes, but an inch tops. I don't remember how much taller he was than Ice-T in the same film, but I think there are at least one or two scenes to compare them.

R5 said on 30/May/18
Rob any guesses why he could look 5’11” range next to Lithgow in the Pelican brief but 6’ range in Ricochet?

Gracian said on 20/May/18
Rob, please answer me. You once said that 6'0.5" is possible for Denzel peak height, and he really looks taller than Travolta.

Denzel looks taller than Travolta. Here's an old photo of Denzel with Halle Berry and Will Smith: Click Here

the listing is spot one. he was close to 184 at peak but not the full 184. the looked the same as tom hanks who i personally believ was very very legit 6 footer in his prime . denzel 183,7 range and Hanks 183,2 about 0,5 cm beetween them peak

peak was probably very close to 184 at evening and before lunch he was 184,5 today i believe he is 182 in the evening. he have lost about 2 cm by now you can see it pretty clearly on his body that he have lost a little

Gracian said on 18/Feb/18
Rob, 6'0.25" in my opinion it is too low for the Denzel peak height! I watched "Cry Freedom", next to Kevin Kline (who was probably 6'1.75"), he looked really not much shorted! Just look at their shared photos on Google: Click Here
It's time to upgrade peak height Denzel, Rob, please at least 6'0.5".

A weak 6ft1 for Denzel would make Hanks a strong 6ft...which at times looked believable

Spencer said on 7/May/17
Weak 6'1 peak

sumdude said on 27/Apr/17
I'd say 182.5cm current, anything below 182cm seems silly. Seems to be ~4-5cm between him and Chris Pratt when in equal footwear(dress shoes) and same distance from camera. Chris likes to wear giant cowboy boots which atleast boost him 3-4cm in height, maybe even more at times, while Denzel usually wear vans-like shoes which probably give him 1.5 to 2cm max.

Richardspain said on 24/Apr/17
I think he is as Tom Hanks and as Harrison Ford. Classic team 183/184cm in peak.

They never weren't 185cm, maybe with shoes or boots is possible

Now Denzel is a strong 182cm sure not less.Not more.

anon said on 24/Apr/17
I was going to say wasn't that sure on him looked pretty close with Russell Hornsby who is 6'0.5 on here in that one scene, He is listed as 6'0 I saw maybe is a solid 5'11 guy more like 181cm or something, not that sure but outside of Fences haven't looked at him too much tbh

anon said on 22/Apr/17
Any Idea on Young actor Jovan Adepo height who played alongside Denzel in Fences

berta said on 12/Apr/17
rampage i dont thinkh he was almost 185 at peak. because he is no taller than 182 today. he is fit for his age and not that old. 3 cm seems alot to loose. i can belive he have lost litel over 1 cm from strong 183 guy to weak 182 guy

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Apr/17

i think denzel was the listed height he and tom hanks was pretty mutch the same height but if onew was taller then i think it would have been denzel. today with guyz like reynold and chris prat he doenst look taller than 182.

S.J.H said on 7/Mar/17
@Peter 179cm

This picture is tricky. He more like look 7cm taller than denzel washington in some clips i have seem. If you say denzel is 5'11.5 then reynolds is not under 6'2.5

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Feb/17
Rob, could the full 6ft0½ peak be fairer?

Peter 179cm said on 7/Feb/17
Around 5'11.5 now and 6'0 flat at his peak.Remember Reynolds claimed 6'1-6'2 and looks a good 6cm taller in the above picture.At his minimum he might be 181cm.

Rob, look at this...Click Here (6 sec. and after into video)

Thanks boss

Dejavu said on 4/Dec/16
I think he looks 5'11.5 next to Chris Pratt. I think he has really lost height or his posture isn't too good.

Donatello said on 3/Dec/16
No way Densel is more than 5'10-5'11.I have seen almost every of his movies and he doesnt go over any other male actor.He looks huge because he is built and weights much. I really like Densel but he aint a big guy.

Canson said on 25/Nov/16
Ehh Rob I think he's at least 6'0" flat. Maybe no more than that but don't see any less either

berta said on 22/Nov/16
just saw photos with him and chris pratt chris have maybe 1,2 cm fotwear advantage but it looks to be around 7-7,5 cm beetween them so my guess is he cant be more than 182 these days

Realist said on 10/Nov/16
He's 6 foot

Jay 184cm said on 18/Oct/16
Looks like he might just be 183cm in this photo with Reynolds, if he straightened up a bit. Saying that, Reynolds posture looks relaxed also. Looks a solid 182cm at least. I could buy 182-183cm.

xaoxio said on 29/Sep/16
Click Here Denzel is 182 nowadays, agree Rob?

PLB said on 20/Sep/16
I certainly don't believe that he's six feet tall. At this point in his career he's a little old man. I would have guessed that he was five nine. It never mattered that much before but recently he has moved into action movies. He kung fued dozens of people as a blind man in his post-apocalyptic film and then he single handedly killed hordes of bad guys with the tools he found on the racks at Home Depo. He is now continuing this bad career move in a re-make of The Magnificent Seven. He is becoming ridiculous.

xaoxio said on 20/Sep/16
Click Here Do you see six-footer here, Rob? i mean is Denzel still this tall?

xaoxio said on 13/Sep/16
Rob, take a look at Denzel with Chriss Pratt. It seems Denzel is shorter then 6'0'', agree?

Mike said on 18/Jul/16
Rob, why not just give the full 6ft 0.5 peak? I think he generally looked it in his 20s/30s, and also edged out Hanks...

Giorgi said on 9/Jul/16
Tom Hanks is said to be 183 and seemed taller than him in every scene of Philadelphia.

5'6.5 Indiana jones guy said on 30/Jun/16
At 61, could he be 182 cm?

grizz said on 30/Jun/16
Sure thing,Marian. Putting your height perception into practice - Ryan Reynolds would be 5'10ish and 99% of celebrities wouldn't hit 6' with shoes on

5'6.5 Indiana jones guy said on 29/Jun/16
I see Denzel at 181 cm he could be 186-187 cm at peak which is so ****ing impossible so I'd say 183 nowadays at peak

Marian said on 26/Jun/16
I met Denzel and talked to him standing eye to eye. I'm 5'8". He was the same height as me.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/May/16
He edged Hank.

Berta said on 23/May/16
yeah this is right shortest i can se him 183 and tallest i can se i astreong 184. Tom Hanks was about the same height and i can se him as 183 ore very weak 184

mrbobh5344 said on 20/May/16
Wonderful actor.... perhaps my current favorite. Can play any role.... but he is not tall. He is not 6 feet. He never seems taller than anyone except the women in his films. He does ot seem to have a height problem.... wore heavy boots in a few recent films... but they do not appear to 'lift' him. I think he a seriously secure 5'11" tops...

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/May/16
Rob, which is most likely at peak?

A) 187cm/185cm
B) 186.5cm/184.5cm
C) 186cm/184cm
D) 185.5cm/183.5cm
E) 185cm/183cm

Bobo said on 20/Apr/16
Check out the magnificent trailer. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo towers over him in a very short clip where they walk in a straight line. Rob - you need a listing for this actor.

Dmeyer said on 19/Apr/16
Denzel dosnt look over solid 182cm lately like with reinolds

jtm said on 12/Mar/16
he looked shorter than bill paxton to me in 2 guns.

Sonny Black said on 23/Feb/16
He's always looked like a strong 5'11 to me, especially in Malcom X next to Spike Lee.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Feb/16
I think Kip is 6ft2 or very close to it. He was definitely a good 1in or so taller than Gosling and Washington in RTT

grizz said on 31/Jan/16
How much did he weigh in Man on Fire?
He was absolutely massive in that film. Sure it was Mexico, but still - not a single guy in that movie was taller/larger than he.

Borats chicken said on 28/Jan/16
Rob, What about Kip Pardue in remember the titans he looked to be a strong 185cm or 186cm in the morning

dmeyer said on 10/Jan/16
6.5cm shorter than ryan so 181,5cm and his footwear is barely 0,2in less so about 182cm

HULK said on 9/Dec/15
Denzel Look's 5'11 next to Queen latifah (5'10)

Adam 1.88 m said on 17/Nov/15
In Safe House he is listed as 6' on his CIA profile. Could be 182-183 now, I'd be more tempted to say 182 looking at the picture with Reynolds. He looks a good 1-2 cm taller than 180 cm Taylor Kitsch with Reynolds, to be honest I think either Denzel needs a downgrade to 181-182 or Ryan Reynolds needs an upgrade to 189. There appears to be more than 2 inches between them in the photo. Is it also possible that Taylor Kitsch may be closer to 179 as he is wearing boots with a bigger heel than Reynolds and the top of his head comes close to Reynolds's low eye level, suggesting around 3.5 inches between Kitsch and Reynolds. If Reynolds were 189 then that would justify Denzel and Taylor's heights. It's a tough one to judge since there's only around a cm in it, and their posture, footwear and hair and camera angles makes it very tough to distinguish between a cm or two. The real question is if Reynolds is definitely 188 and no taller when standing fully erect at his low height. On a stadiometer, do you think Reynolds would measure any taller than 188 at his low height Rob, or do you think he'd be a perfect 6'2 in the evening?

grizz said on 12/Oct/15
I stand by my claim-he's still a 6 footer. It's just he gained a lot of weight and his posture has gotten bad.
For the next couple of years he'll be safe, later on he'll dip below the 6ft mark for sure.

Spencer said on 29/Sep/15
I think 6'0.5 peak and today 5'11.75. He looked near 6'1 in Malcolm X.

ed said on 26/Aug/15
180cm ...???

In "Cry Freedom" he's about the same height as 6'2 Kevin Kline. No way Denzel has shrunk 7 - 8 cm.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Aug/15
@Tommy: 180cm is 5ft11 flat. 183cm is 6ft

180cm or 6ft tall for denzie

Celebheights 6'1.75"/187 CM said on 9/Aug/15
He looks over six feet by Tony Romo. It's either that he's over 6'0" nowadays, or Tony Romo is shorter than the 6'2" that he was measured at.

more then 3.5 cm shorter then kianu in this pic.what do u think Rob??Click Here

Dmeyer said on 6/Jun/15
Denzel and Taylor look same near reinolds but Denzel has 0.8in/2cm less shoes , Thaugh Denzel looks 6cm while has barely less shoes as Ryan boots are flat 0.8-0.9 in tops , that might suggest 182ish

NBAer said on 6/Jun/15
He doesn't look over 180 with Reynolds,Rob.Even if Ryan has footwear advantage,it probably wouldn't be over 1-1.5 cm so 181 MIGHT be possible for Denzel,since he looks 8cm shorter than Ryan,and he's 187,and looks more 179 range in the picture,so i think 180 is perfect for Denzel.As far as peak height,he may have been 181-182,since he's 60 now,and losing about 2cm at 60 is pretty common.

Darren510 said on 6/Jun/15
Denzel is one of the best examples of a legit 6'0

Sam said on 1/Jun/15
Denzel and Tom Hanks did look pretty close in height but I would say IMO in those photos that Tom has fractional advantage, like Hanks was 6'0.25" & Washington was 6'0", both could have easily measured either of those marks at peak I think.

Celebheights 6'1.75/187 CM said on 2/May/15
6 feet is accurate. There was literally nobody taller than him in the Equalizer.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Apr/15
Rob, why is there a separate picture of Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Mar/15
In 1993
Denzel Washington - 6ft0¾(185cm)
Tom Hanks - 6ft0¼(184cm)

They were both in their late 30's at that point and looked above average to weak tall

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Mar/15
Decribed as "six foot two, 180 pounds of dark sugar" in one article!

Denzel Washington's height is 6ft 0in (183 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 0.25in (184 cm)

I agree Rob.

CDS said on 26/Feb/15
One of the very rare huge Hollywood stars that I don't think actually feels the need to wear lifts- I point to 5'11"-6' Val Kilmer looking taller than him in "Deja Vu", 5'11" Russell Crowe looking equal to him in "American Gangster", and a red carpet photo of 5'9" Mel Gibson looking as tall, if not taller than him- a particularly strange pic- WTF?? LOL He looked a tad shorter than 6'1" Keanu Reeves in "Much Ado About Nothing", but a tad taller than 6' Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia", so I'll give him a peak height of 6'0.5", and a current height of 5'11.75", which is still near 6'1" in shoes.

Rob why you use the same pics from the Ryan Reynolds page?

Joe said on 4/Feb/15
Denzel is 6 feet tall, also Denzel's hair is shaven while Reynold's has mane like hair making him look taller. Also add to the fact that Reynold's wearing thick heeled shoes and Denzel is tilting his head to the floor. Denzel is over 6 feet tall, during his peak he was 6'1", he is now 6'0.5".

james said on 4/Feb/15
He was 6'0.5 at his peak ..watch "the mighty Quinn" he and 5'11 Robert Townsend are about the same height .he probably says 6'1 because hez 6'0.5 .

@Georgy: Didn't think he looked much shorter than Marton in the movie at all, and in premiere pics Marton only looks to edge Denzel in stronger footwear.

Georgy said on 21/Dec/14
In "The Equalizer" he looks approx. 4 cm shorter than 185 cm Marton Csokas. Nowadays, closer to 5'11 than 6'0 for sure.

grizz said on 19/Dec/14
Lebensdorf, lol. Well, then Reynolds must be 6ft tall based on your estimate.

Lebensdorf said on 12/Dec/14
Strong 5'11 at peak, never more.

Rob, maybe you should give him a full 6ft 0.5 peak?

@Editor Rob: Could you put the picture on the right from the Ryan Reynolds page on Denzel's page? That shot shows why he's still 6ft.

a young Denzel in Carbon Copy is no taller than 5ft10.5 George Segal. and to be honest, to me, denzel never looked taller than a strong 5ft 11in barefoot.

cole said on 15/Nov/14
Fair upgrade, he can still look 6ft. 6ft 0.5in for his peak height would also be fair imo. The page of legends like Denzel and Hanks should have a picture, Rob!

GP said on 31/Oct/14
in Safe House he looked to be about 3 inches shorter than Ryan. Rob, do you think that he has developed bad posture or he could have lost more height?

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Oct/14
Solid 6ft0½ peak with a chance of 6ft0¾. I only noticed now that Ethan Hawke is listed at 5ft11. If that's the case, Denzel easily looked 6ft1 range in Training Day if not a tad more!

Dmeyer said on 22/Oct/14

Sonny Black said on 27/Sep/14
Honestly he seems more like a tall 5'11. When he stands next to Spike Lee, who's 5'5, he's noticeably taller but doesn't dwarf Spike as you'd expect a 6ft+ tall guy would.

grizz said on 26/Sep/14
He looked identical in size next to 182 cm Jimmy Kimmel. However, Jimmy was wearing regular shoes, while Denzel was wearing some casual converse-styled sneakers, so he is 183 cm tall IMO.

Jack Spratt said on 13/Sep/14
There is a pic of him with Justin Timberlake at a basketball game and he is at least 1" taller than Timberlake. Timberlake says he was 6ft even on the Jimmy Fallon show.

cole said on 2/Sep/14
@Editor Rob: Think this is spot on, fairly recently he can still pull off looking 6ft imo.
Although giving him a solid 6'0.5 peak height wouldn't hurt.

Arch Stanyon said on 31/Aug/14
Rob have you seen The Pelican Brief? He looked 5 ft 11 next to peak 6'4 John Lithgow. Lithgow looked massive next to him. I'm trying to figure how Lithgow could have only been 9 cm taller!

tk said on 30/Jul/14
Just watched Flight again. He seemed to have at least one inch on Bruce Greenwood (5'11.5 here) and more than four on Don Cheadle (5'7.5). Probably still a six footer...

In training day was Still 6'0.25 rangr

I think he's full 6ft (183 cm) rather than 5ft11.5in.
In Pelham 123 John Travolta commebted on how big and tall Denzel is. Travolta is 182 cm tall, it kinda wouldn't make sense that someone comments on how tall that man is,even though they're equally tall :D

in Philadelphia he was at least the same height as 183cm tom hanks if not a tad taller. Hanks could have potentially been 184cm though so I wouldn't rule out 185cm for denzels peak but I think more to reality, 184cm

Could also look 6ft1 in his early career. He definitely edged out Hanks.

I'd always thought he was about a 6'2-6'3 guy. Camera angles ey? I was watching Deja Vu (good film too if you haven't seen) last night and one of his workmates describes him as "6'3" - I would have believed it too if I hadn't looked him up before on this site!
