Apparently you already hinted at it before, Rob, but if you want to add a more direct claim, he does state his "estatura" as 170 here Click Here , which is certainly not that surprising, given the amount of 5'5-5'6 people who just round up to that in metric countries!

Editor RobI'll mention that, it could be from him as the weight and shoes were also included!

Met Gabriel at a concession at a beach; both of us ere barefooted and I had a brief conversation with him and our eyes were at the same level. I'm 5'5 so he would be the same. Like many "shorter" men he has short legs.

In shoes or in bare feet? All depends. ie 5'6 in shoes; 5'5 1/2" in barefeet.

No taller than 5ft5.
Had to stand on a box in OLD (2021) in a beach scene with Thomason McKenzie (5ft5). There is a bonus piece on the Bluray which shows this. Since all characters on the beach were shoeless throughout the film, it makes it easier to gauge their heights. He has a brief scene with Abbey Lee (5ft11) and she easily looks 6-7 inches taller than Gael.
Definitely not a 5ft7 guy,

I would say that 5 foot 5 inches is a very good guess. What's interesting is that Lola Kirke's published height is 5 foot 3 while she clearly towers above him onscreen. What is she, wearing 9 inch heels? Obviously that makes no sense. I think her height is being publicized as shorter (thought elsewhere I've seen it as 5 foot 7) to comply with his being stated as taller. I have first-hand knowledge of how this works in Hollywood. For example, it is still on the public record that Mel Gibson is 5 foot 10 and it even used to be said he was taller. I met him when I was 18 or so and he was definitely shorter than me. I am a female of 5 foot 8. Short Hollywood actors typically add 2 inches to their actual height. I guess because this is an easy amount to get away with and to fake, with footwear, without it being too obvious you are wearing womping frikkin heals. The fact that Garcia looks short and slight of frame on film, yet claims to be 5 foot 7 means that he is for sure 5 foot 5 or LESS by my own knowledge of Hollywood height math. I have also stood next to supermodels whose published statistics claimed they were 5 foot 10 or more who were definitely shorter than I am. In general, most actors/models/politicians are lying about their height, their weight, their age, their hair color, their eye color, their grade point average in high school, and often even their name and many other personal facts. I went to a famous high school that has bred a lot of famous performers/public figures and I sometimes am astonished to see former classmates who have "made it" to the degree of being profiled in the media, and who will publicly shave up to a decade off their age when I know for sure that I did not go to 11th grade with a 5 year old!
So, I like this actor, Garcia, to a degree, but he also reminds me of a lot of short egomaniacs I've known who reacted to their shortness with a very big, cocks-at-dawn, kind of macho attitude. Garcia, emphasized by his Mexican heritage, definitely works this vein. I'd prefer to see a short actor admit his height and not try to overcompensate for it by being a raging shaft of testosterone. I understand that evolutionarily speaking, short dudes would have had to max out on the braggadacio in order to compete with taller, stronger dudes. But nowadays, I wish short guys would be advocates for more subtle arts like verbal communication. Let's face it, civilized society is about people agreeing to have rational discussions and not just settle things by who is bigger and stronger. I mean, rape could potentially happen any time a female and male are together, assuming superior strength and size of male, as is usual. Or depending on the perps proclivities, the short guy could also end up the rape victim.
So to pretend that a short guy can still physically best bigger guys, by faking his height, actually really sucks. It reaffirms the "might is right" amoral, forceful rule of oppression and further belittles the little guy by telling him that it is not just OK but right, to lie about his height.
As if we can't see how big someone is for ourselves! Jayzus people - just own yourselves. Wear brown contact lenses if it turns you on but don't pretend you're eyes aint green if they is - you get me???!

5'4, really? Personally, I thought he looked anywhere from 165-167 in Y Tu Mama Tambien. And in that movie he did with Michelle Williams (can't remember what it's called) I thought he looked 5'5.

I'm 5'6 flat, and I was an extra on Mozart in the Jungle. Lola Kirke is somewhere around 5'5 and I would give Gael Garcia 5'4-5'4.5 TOPS. He always has boots on, but as you can see here (Click Here) they both have normal tennis shoes on in this scene.
Also see here:
See the next 2 photos from the golden globes. Lola Kirke is barefoot and Gael has footwear with lifts on. She is bending over in the first photo, and the second she is standing up straight.

He wears boots with probable lifts very, very consistently, despite being open about his shortness.

168 is a sufficient listing, although I think he's closer to 5'5 barefoot.

My comments don't go through on this guy?
Anyways, he seems to be wearing lifts, or atleast larger footwear, In virtually any photo I can find, always high tops or boots. Are you sure he's 5'6? I wouldnt be shocked if he was 5'5 and a half, or flat barefoot. Compare him and Elijah Wood, they look very interchangable.
Sorry if you've closed this height for consideration for whatever reason.

I just read in an interview that the perhaps sexiest women in the World, Emily Ratajowski, would like to do a kissing scene with Gael, so I guess his below average height is not a problem for him when it comes to the ladies.

If Bernal is 168 cm that is great as he is down to play my favourite boxer of all time - Roberto Duran!!! Duran, I know for sure was around 5 ft 7 inches (170 cm) when he fought in his prime, so 5 ft 6 inches Bernal is a v suitable actor, in my opinion, to play the Hands of Stone. It is cartainly a better match than when Denzel Washington played the boxer Hurrican Carter as Denzel is over 6 ft tall whilst Carter was (at the very most) around 5 ft 7.5 inches!

I volunteered at the TO film festival (2007), he was a patron at one of the movies there while I was taking ballots (lol) and... he's really short... mind you, I'm pretty short myself so I didn't mind.
My friend who's 5'6 met him three times during the week and specifically said he was about an inch shorter than her.
I'd put him around 5'5" to just under 5"6. It's not bad though. He looks much "refined" and much hotter in person. lol.

He looks short to me. I'd say he's 5'4", 5'3".

Here's an interesting pic of Rinko Kikuchi (official height 5'6.5") next to Gael:

We can't see if she's wearing heels in the last pic, but I doubt it. When she does wear heels, the difference is much greater:

That's some huge, chunky shoes.
Seriously, 5'5" max.

Editor Rob he does go toe to toe in height with 5ft 9.5 dafoe (according to i-m-d-b) I guess. I suppose he's wearing 5 inch lifts. To be fair he does wear his moonbeam boots there, but they are just big oversizers, sometimes those styles aren't as big in heel though, see side shot of other event.

Luna himself has stated that he's 5'10".
Who knows, maybe he's not bang on that mark, but pretty close.
And, as for those pics, the difference is always between 3 to 4" so Rob has made it very well, Gael is shy of 5'7". One of the few cases that can be easily tracked.

Rob,
With Diego Luna, who's given 5'9.25":

And, Bernal is given an advantage in this photo by standing further from the camera.
I don't see just a 2.75" difference in any of the photos of these, two. Either Bernal is taller, or Luna's shorter than listed if it's only a 2.75" difference.

5'6" is tops.
Doing just a general search, Jim Emerson of editor of Roger Eberts says about Bernal for his Movie "The Sleep Science" dated September 29, 2006:
"Although the diminutive (5-foot-6-inch) Bernal emanates an infectiously playful and energetic charisma, there comes a point when you just want to slap him with a big hand for being such a petulant baby."
His main fan site also gives him 5'6" (among other's)

And, if Diego Luna really is around 5'9" (I think he's a little shorter, actually)...:

5'6" is the max.

Hmm I think he really can be around 5'7'' eventhough I use to doubt it. He has a really small frame which makes him look shorter. I have a spanish friend who looks just like him 5'7'' guy with a small frame. From distance he can look hell of a lot shorter...

Drop the .5in. After seeing 4 or 5 of his films I'd not give an inch over 5'5. He's little.

My boyfriend met him when he came to one of his gigs and claims they are the same height... he also claims I am the same height as him whereas he's most definitly a couple of cms shorter, so I reckon 169cms would be pretty accurate for him because he probably had an equal misconception of both our heights... though maybe it's that my boyfriend recognised the 'special' shoes and made an informed guess on his height haha because they buy the same brand (not that I could get him to actually admit that to me). Ahhh these short ass men!!!

why did he get an extra cm? His 5'6 by about 95% of the estimates, Probably a little less barefoot, so why the 5'6.5???

In telegraph, it mentioned: "Pocket dynamo García Bernal - he says he's 170cm (5ft 7in) but looks shorter, broad, fit, a keen surfer and footballer"
Hmm, this guy can look 169cm...

he came into the restaurant that i work at last summer. I would say that 5'6" (5'6.5" tops) is very accurate. he was slightly shorter than my boss, who is around 5'7".

his officil listened as 168cm.
but, however, you know rob, he´s probably on the 5'5 barefoot, cause official listenings are always 1 or 2 inches above the right height. like many people said here before, actors who get famous seems to grown 1 or 2 inches.
