I saw the behind the scenes of Beverly Cop 2 and in there was Brigitte nielsen talking about Eddie murphy being shorter than 5.10 and she said "Eddie says that im 6.2 and he is 5.10 , but in reality im 6 ft and he is 5.9 and a bit" , like 1.76 ,and then was a funny scene when the two were talking about this and murphy saying he was 5.10 to brigitte and she saying the opposite to him , that he was 1.76.

It doesn't make sense for a 5'9.5" male actor to claim 5'10". Has that ever happened in the history of Hollywood? Eddie Smurfy is a clear 5'8.5".

me too saw Eddie Murphy in the italian festival of the cinema in 2001 and i managed to speak to him for exactly 30 seconds and i told him i'm a big fan of his movies and asked him if his height made it hard for him to shoot any (THAT WAS A TRICKY QUESTION TO SEE HIS REACTION!)....
he said : i'm 5'11 and in some shots i did have problems.
that was a killer reply because since he said 5'11 that means he is 5'9 on the money!
2 inch shoes = 1 inch heel + 1 inch lift :D and a 5'9 becomes 5'11.
he did look 5'9 to me regardless.
im speaking the truth to you guys, Eddie Murphy is 100% 5'9 height.

I agree with Frank2.All the actors who say 5'11 they are 5'9" at the most(like orlando bloom) and the other actors who say that they are 5'10" they are 5'8" at the most(like jean claude van damme).That's my opinion which i believe is very true...

Here is a video of Eddie Murphy and Mike Tyson. If Eddie is 5'10, how tall does that make Mike? 5'9 perhaps (natural height)?

Remove the half an inch and you have his true height. Eddie's no more than 5'9".
Remember the golden rule: If an actor admits to being 5'10" he's most likely shorter. This is especially true if he claims to be 5'11". Then of course the fellows who cliam to be six feet are mostly under. And then a few pinheads will say they're 6'1" when they're more likely to be around 5'11". then a few who claim to be 6'2" wear huge lifts and people buy it. In other words, throw out all the official heights and go by your eyes.

I found a Murphy's photo with the 185cm Dan on the film "Trading places" and Murphy largely looks more than 7cm under Dan, I'd say at least 10cm under... So it confirms what has been said bellow, Murphy isn't over 5'9.5 !

During these last weeks I saw the film "Bowfinger" with Murphy and Steve Martin listed here as 182cm and like on Frank2's photos Murphy looks at least 5cm under on their pics of course... So 5'9.5 seemed to be a right estimation, didn't you?

Looking at that picture of the Shirek cast that Clive sent. He's taller than 5'7" Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz but shorter than 5'9" Antonio Bandares. He's not tall! 5'10" is his phony height and actors want to make people think they're their goal height instead of what they actually are and not happy about it. All of those pictures give clear evidence that he's just trying to get away with wearing shoe lifts to be taller than Glen because he does not want to be listed as 5'8". Glen do you think he's really only 5'8"?

Bill Shatner was born with a hairpiece. Going way back to his appearance on a Twilight Zone episode he wore a full carpet as he did in the 1961 feature film Judgment at Nuremberg.
Burt started wearing hairpieces sometime after the 1972 film Deliverance. There were rumors that he tried an early form of hair transplantation as did Sinatra and the result looked so much like a hairbrush that he continued to wear toupes.

You're not fools (well maybe a few ar!). You're just trying to find the truth. If you only accept as fact what the celebs claim, you'll get nowhere fast. They almost all lie. I suppose it's human nature. How many driver's licenses have bogus heights on them? How many of you have given an optimistic height? In the case of celebrities, their image is everything so they must protect it at all costs.

Frank2 : It is probably not you who are taller but the stars who are smaller ;)
As I said on Banderas' session it's easy for them to add 1 inch on their real height with the shoes they wear ! But as you had the chance to meet them face to face you could realize that there is a difference between what they PRETEND to measure and what they are in reality !!! So if it was up to me, I would take all the stars off 2cm to cancel "elevator shoes effects".

I'm beginning to think I'm taller than 5'11" since all these supposedly 5'10" guys are in fact much shorter when I meet them. Better go get measured fast!

To my opinion Rob, even if Murphy doesn't stand up straight on the photo with Steve Martin, there is much more than 1.5inch between them ! So you may list list Murphy as 5ft9.5 and Michael Jackson as 5'9 to remain logic !

And I've seen Owen Wilson from about five feet away and if he's 5'11" then I'm 6'1". He has a nose that looks like it was smashed in at one time and was never properly fixed. Murphy is no more than 5'9". Probably closer to 5'8 1/2". He wears big shoes.

I agree with J. Eddie also looked about 2 inches taller than Martin Lawrence in that film, which would make him 5'9. I would say 5'10 is a bit of an embelishment.

Eddie's 5'9" without shoes. Watch Boomerang. There's a scene of him barefoot with Halle Berry. He's easily 3 inches taller. So 5'10" is his height with shoes on. In that photo below with Singleton and Cube, he's 1 inch taller than Cube and exactly 3 inches bigger than Singelton. Don't let the high top fade fool you with that pic! :-)
