How tall is Zhang Jin? He was in Ip Man 3 and Master Z: Ip Man legacy.

I have a couple of friends who are in Singapore showbiz. I just want to share this to show how Asian actors lie about their heights even though my friends may not be as famous as Donnie or Andy. One of them is 176cm in real life but is listed as 180cm by the industry. So next time when you encounter an Asian celebrity, just subtract 4cm from his listed height.

Is it possible to add Aaron Kwok because there is controversy surrounding his height for decades? He looks pretty similar to Donnie Yen in pics.

How tall is Wu Chun?

He claims to be 180-183cm (mainly 181cm). But can look 5’11.5” tho, 11 flat is too short.

I met him once irl during his promotion for ip man 4 back in late 2019, he was well shorter than me around my eyesight level with thick shoes and I couldn't spot him among the crowd. I believe he's about 167.6cm barefeet 5'6. Notice how he always wear thick shoes

Derek Kwan said on 19/Jan/21
@Peter Sun @Rob I really take back my words about the 5'8 after seeing that pic. Its funny how Yen looks taller than me in movies and I swear I really press all the way down to get my 168cm. Relaxed posture as well.

Derek Kwan said on 19/Jan/21
Seriously I am super strict at measuring height and always make sure that I press down all the way and my height is a solid legit 168cm at night. Judging from how Donnie Yen looks in movies, I refuse to believe that he only has 1cm on me unless he has strong lifts on. My guess is 172cm to 173cm for Donnie, as I stress again, this is solely based on how I look at him in his movies. Cannot tell if he wore lifts or not, but definitely looks taller than me in his movies.

James Franco said on 9/Nov/20
I saw Donnie twice in person and he's around 5’5”.

Peter Sun said on 24/Sep/20
C'mon he's solid 5'8, he's average in those movies

Keith 5'10 said on 6/Sep/20
Legit listing!
He looked this height on Ip Man

@ Jay Tu - That's very true, it is a very common height in just about every country and even in Holland it is not an unusual height.

He’s Listed 180-2cm everywhere and also was Listed 183cm on his Agency.
183cm is a bit too much, but I think a Solid 5’11” like 181cm is more believable from all I’ve seen from him.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 11/Jan/19
Donnie wife is 5'8 and there are about 1.5" between them. Listing by Rob seem legit.

MAD SAM said on 21/Jul/18
I would give him 5’6.75” at 169.5 cm, I guess he’s kinda average height

Junior Hernandez said on 8/Feb/18
@Eric That would make him 5'2.5" max if you're telling truth. I doubt the ground you miss it. He can't be listed 4" higher than in real. He look at least 5'4.5" in proportion.

Eric said on 19/Jan/18
I saw him a few years ago in Times Square Hong Kong, when a super jacked dude walked past me and I realised it was him. I'm 5'7 and he was only up to around my eyes.

S.J.H said on 2/Jul/17
166cm not over

Reimund Chong said on 28/May/17
I had met him at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur last year 2016, I saw him in a distant approximately 10 ft away, he is at my height 5'6" and should weigh approximately 60 Kg as he is just similar to my height and size. In the Internet from many sources claims that he is 5'9" which is definitely NOT and I can confirmed.

He could look anywhere from 5’10”-5’11.25” (178-181 range) Surprisingly! He was described as “5’11” or 6’ ” in New Police Story.
But i don’t think he’s that range, more 5’10-11ish.

I thought he was 5'7 in every movie he looks 5'8 in Triple X return of Xander Cage.

172.4cm guy said on 20/Jan/17
It's interesting. When I looked at Rogue One and some premiere photos, Donnie does seem to be about 169-170cm, and seems to accept his height very well. But the average guess seems to be around 171cm. For myself, he looks just shy of 5-7, maybe 5-6.75, which is still 170cm.

Donnie yen is much shorter than listing here hes only 5'5 in real. Believe or not he wore special made lifts with taller actors during filming. Andy lau have self confess that he was only 5'7.5 when he was young and probably 5'7-5'7.25 nowadays

If andy is listed as 174cm here, then Donnie cant be 169cm

Maybe looking a bit taller here with 5'10" Mike Tyson, but probably has to do with angle and footwear:

Definitely the listing at the most. I think he might have a penchant for small lifts at a lot of premieres, and he can look slightly taller. Nothing ridiculous.

louise said on 29/Jan/16
his height is probably 172-174

Hong Kong said on 18/Dec/15
Donnie is no more than 5'6/167cm. Someone I know took a picture next to him and she's about 5'4. He looked to be an inch 1/2 taller. Tbh I think Donnie is 5'5 1/2 / 166cm.

Rob,

Admittedly, Tilda Swinton is a tall woman and she's in heels, here...

Click Here

...and you can't just judge it off this picture. But, a guy of nearly 5'8" wouldn't look consistently this short. He doesn't look like a guy just under the average western height. He routinely looks legitimately short. There is no way he' near 5'8", and I'm not even convinced he's a full 5'7", honestly.

Guy said on 13/Dec/14
Hey Bob I've did some research on him through some Chinese websites and I've come to a conclusion that he's 5'6 (168 - 169) at best and yes I do watch most of his films.

Donnie Yen looks between 170-172cm

edguy282 said on 1/Aug/14
If Keanue is 6'1" and Donnie looks about 5.5-6.0" shorter with similar footwear, I think he's more like 171cm tall. A slight downgrade is needed.

Here is a picture of Chan, Hung and Biao to give an idea of the height difference between then 176 cm Chan and the shorter Hung.

Click Here

The difference is a solid 5 cm. Which makes Hung 171 cm. Without any doubt Hung lost at least 1 cm since that photo was taken 30 years ago, which puts him nowadays at 170 cm tops. The conclusion? Donnie Yen can't be taller than 171 cm and may even be 170 cm.

Jake T, you can really tell a 1cm difference in this man's height through movies and photos? No, you can't so get a life, shorty.

Josh said on 22/Sep/11
Yen has claimed many times that he's 5'9". He's pretty adamant about it. Then again, he could be lying.

Jake T. said on 11/Apr/11
I have seen some pictures of him with Jackie Chan and Jet Li and 171 cm could be a more accurate height for Donnie.

Lord Chief Justice Victor said on 18/Nov/10
in my opinion, at most he stands at 5'8, thts the highest he can claim...
but solidly barefoot, he stands at 5'7, so yeah the stated height above is quite accurate

Mateial Art fan said on 20/Jun/09
He's 170 for sure. Met him on the set of a couple of Hong Kong films.

Tomtom said on 9/Jun/09
Can some body go home take a tape measure and pull it out until it says 5'10 (178cm) or 5'11(180cm) and put the tape against the wall, use your sense and try to realize how tall it is. I've read a lot of threads in this forum and most of them really crack me up when I see Nicholas is 175cm, Louis Koo is 181cm. And better yet, all Hong Kong TVB's actors are listed 180cm. I mean, come on, we're Asian and you think Ron Ng or Raymond Lam is as tall as Brad Pitt (180cm). Dream on people.

Zhang Bai (Zhi Cecilia) cheung WAS LISTED 165, but she was ONLY 158.
My friend(In charge of light of a film) is 170.8cm barefoot(physical exam data, 100% sure), Xie Ting Feng is 1 inches shorter than him, he is 172-174? Click Here
So "Felix Incorrect Again", are you from HK? Now I know the reason why HK people improve their height a lot and so many so called 6 feet guys in the street, because your ruler is different! I am 178, 76kg. And in HK, I am a little taller than many 6 feet local guys. at that time I was 28. I growed another 2 inches within hours! So everybody who wants to be a big guy and grow another 2 inches, please go to HK! It is a fantastic place.

Felix Incorrect Again said on 11/Dec/08

Most HongKong stars exaggerate their height. Gallen Lo 179cm(176), Gu Tian Le 181cm (177), Li Ming 182cm (178). Guo Fu Cheng 170cm (166-167), Wu Yan Zu 186cm (182-183), Gu Ju Ji 178cm(174), If you know chinese, you will find all the truth. here is the link, plenty of images. Click Here

Tian Liang is 168cm in 2004 olympic games, he is 2 inches taller than his 162cm's partner, most important is they are all barefoot! do not tell me he grows again when he is 24 years! 172 is only the data when he retired and be an actor.

Edison Chen I am 100% sure is only about 172, I met him, he is at least 2-3 inches shorter than me! if he is 178, he should the same with me. look at his weight, only about 62-65kg, I am 75kg, 178 and I am mid build.

Felix Incorrect Again said on 19/Nov/08
Can't see the picture, but Francis Ng is profiled to being 178cm tall (and he certainly does appear to be of this height) and not your claim of being 175cm tall. The drama that he had appeared with Gallen Lo( who is 179cm) he appears to be of the same height as him, and Gallen Lo sometimes looks even taller than Louis Koo who is listed as a 180cm. Francis Ng = 178cm at least Nicholas Tse = the shortest he can be is 172cm, but my guess is still 174cm

felix said on 18/Nov/08

Felix Incorrect Again said on 18/Nov/08
Tian Liang is 172cm in most websites that shows his profile, and for him being 168cm that could be true but ONLY in the early stage of his career. There is a possiblity of him growing in his latest olympic appearance. And also, Nicholas Tse had dated FAYE WONG a few years ago, who is at least 170cm. I seriously doubt that a megastar like Faye Wong would date a man who was not only younger than her, but also shorter. For the Shawn Yue talk, he is the same height as Edison Chen, and he gets listed as a 178cm. In my eyes, Jackie Chan's son looks 180cm, I seriously don't know where you got that 173cm from. Please provide some pictures to prove your point because I seriously doubt Nicholas Tse and Shawn Yue is that short.

Felix said on 17/Nov/08
Do you really belive Xie Ting Feng (Nicholas Tse) is 174? He is nearly the same with Tian Liang(Olympic Diving Champion) who is offical 168cm, they two were bare foot near the swimming pool. Yu Wen Le (Shawn Yu) is even a slight shorter than Jackie Chan's son, Fang Zu Ming who is about 173. So 174 for Yu is generouis!

Felix ur Incorrect said on 3/Nov/08

Nicholas Tse is 174cm, not 169cm

He is about 172cm, In a chinese film "The gate of dragon and tiger", he and Xie TingFeng(169cm) Yu Wenle(174cm) stand together, He is about 1 inch taller than Xie and a little shorter than Yu.

artha5 said on 6/Mar/08
I don't think he's 1.63-1.65, that would make pretty much shorter than Jet Li, which i think obviously it isn't

Joe said on 10/Dec/07
If you watch Donnie with Jet Li in Once upon a time in China or Hero, Donnie's got a good two inches on Jet, so I'd say he is about 5'8 since Jet is 5'6. Donnie also appeared to be the same heigth as Jackie Chan in Shanghai Knights and Jackie is 5'8

N Spec said on 26/Sep/07
He's a solid 5'8. He may appear taller if he wears some thick soles and tight pants and clothes to make him look longer.

B-nn said on 5/Aug/07

yea, he looked 5'7 on Blade 2. Maybe under b/c his shortness relative to everyone else was distracting

Dude said on 8/May/06
He's closer to 5'5" or 5'6". With hair and thick soled shoes he could be 172 cm. With hair and thick soled shoes I'm 180 cm, without them I'm 178 cm.
