I'm 4 foot 8 and I'll be 4 foot 8 when I'm in a box. You learn to work with it, around it, and through it, and if anybody has any problem with it, tell them to go pound sand. You are you. Be proud of your height. Trust me, it's better to be short in many circumstances than to be tall.

I believe that Gary Coleman was all of 4'8". People who are under 5 feet tall who die in their early 40s, typically have not lost more than one-eighth of an inch in height.

I saw that Insider interview with him on the show. He completely flew off the handle over accusations of him assaulting his wife and he stated that he was 4'7" and his wife was 5'6" and that he couldn't possibly be capable of abusing a woman that much taller.

Wow he had a disorder which made him only 4'7 i've heard claims of 5'0 but he looks much smaller than that 4'8 most IMO R.I.P Gary.
I don't think there were any claims of 5'. There was an episone of Diff'rent Strokes where they wrote in an explanation for Arnold's growth problems and included a visit to a fictional doctor. In that episode the fictional doctor estimated that he might someday reach 5'. It sounds plausible that even a real life doctor might estimate that.

Reality-- this is a serious height guessing site, probably the best on the whole world wide internet web thing. . . Gary Coleman did great things,far example, he was a great American actor. He also was a great benefactor of numerous charities and some say a war hero. Please do not insult him. "Reality", you should be ashamed of yourself. Gary Coleman may have been one of the shortest americans ever but in my book, even at 4 feet tall he was truly a big man.

So Gary Coleman would have been almost the same height as Danny Devito. Not sure why, but Danny Devito just came across as being taller than Gary (even though they never actually stood next to each other that I know of)..

What nonsense about Pygmies. Gary Goleman has endocrine problems. Pygmies were not slaves due to their small stature. Slaves were used to work- not do little dances for slave owners. Who the hell would want to capture little tiny pygmies, they would not be worth 50 cents.
Most African Americans will have more white, native American Indian and Arab in them than any Pygmy DNA .
I know short black people and they are just short, you are trying to fit people into homogenous boxes and ignorng the specific obvious, which is his endocrine problem. Gary looks about 4ft 7 and around the same height as people who have had his problem.
Pygmy my arse. Are Danny Devito, Rhea Pearlman, Ronnie Corbett, Kylie Minogue, Estelle Getty all pygmies too!
Or is the Pygmy theory confined to anyone who is black, when a perfectly reasonable medical answer is staring you in the face.
Aram x you are certainly no scientist although you may be a bit of a meglomaniac with scietific delusion tendencies.
Africa is also a continent and not all short africans are Pygmies, height is varied as in the European Races. The fact pygmies are the only short ethnic blacks you personally know is an indication of your ignorance, not factual evidence of the people of Africa.
It is a futile argument the man has endocrine problems, and if you think otherwise, write up your 'theories' refuting the obvious in a medical journal.

I like it's more likely that Coleman has pygmy hertiage rather than suffering from the lack of GH secretion during his growing age. I know a few African Americans at my former high school who were ridiculously short (but for the most part, well proportioned) like Coleman who were only around 5' if that. Pygmies have been basically absorbed into the larger Niger-Congo population, so every once in a while your going to have a really short black dude.

aram x I like the way you think. Coleman reaks of pygmy heritage as Mamun shows clear signs of a thyroid disfunction. Funny how people with strange afflictions are attracted to each other.

maybe this might just be a crack pot theory, but it could be possible that Gary's shortness could be the result of African Pygmy heritage.

But keep in mind Mamun is also standing closer to the camera. Nevertheless, Gary looks extremely small but proportional (so he definitely doesn't have achondroplasia).

G man, you are too kind. I am with you man. The crazy thing is that these little guys, Coleman, Mamun, Tom Cruise, John Mccain and the likes are very popular with the ladies. I say embrace you littleness. Besides, they say that a lack of overall height makes all your appendages look longer. This, a 4' tall Gary Coleman allegedly has to strap "little Gary" to is knee.

I think mamun may be telling fibs about his height. He and garys hands are virtually the exact same size. Plus he is standing two feet in front of gary as well as having a giant head. The purportions are all wrong. Mamun 5'5" gary 4'2".

Lol unless you get a measuring tape and measure him there is no way any 5'9 person can accurately tell his height! besides people always think I'm shorter than I really am and I know for a fact that I am 5'4.I get really confused when a person just as little as 1 inch taller than me walks by people will stare at me and go "he's so tiny" when so is the other guy,I can't beleive an inch really is that big of a deal???and ya wonder why men where lifts!

I met Gary in April 07 in Florida and he is definitely not 4'8. I'm 5'9 without shoes and the top of his head was at the bottom of my rib cage. I'm sad to say he is really is closer to 4'3. He wants to be 4'8 so, if it makes him feel better to think taller that's great. He seemed like a nice guy though so, i guess his real height is his business.

you have to admire a person like Gary Coleman, take a look at all the ignorants around you saying Tom Cruise (5'7") is short!
Tom Cruise should tell everyone to go pound sand (in Coleman's words) :-D
i'm 1.93 cm and when i read coleman saying: "Trust Me, It's Better To Be Short In Many Circumstances"
i had to agree, i bang my head in the bathroom door which is 1.90 cm and i have to bend in many cases, also in the street i notice how a 1.75cm guy is a lot more agile and snappy. gotta agree with Coleman.
i won't comment on his 4'8" .....i believe him.

I liked his comments and I doubt anyone is really going to question his height even if he does wear inserts and elevator shoes. There's a guy who's comfortable with who he is even though he's had it rough after the cancellation of his hit show in the early 80's. He went through so much in the way of legal problems, bankruptsy, being used, and everything else that goes along with being a former child star. Kudos.

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
Other vital statistics like weight or shoe size measurements have been sourced from newspapers, books, resumes or social media.
