Jim’s more like 5’ 10.5”.
Gives off a ‘big guy vibe’, but isn’t quite that.

He easily edged out 5'6.5 Martin Short and 5'7.75 Tim Curry on "No Stone Unturned" BTS of The Pebble and the Penguin. Solid 5'11

Ther guy himself claim he was 5'11. Why do you try to upgrade his claim saying he is 5'11. when he said 5'11. Nonone claim a lower height. Maybe he was 5'1'-5'10.5. Arnold below 6'1

thats a very interesting photo rampage. I would never guess Justin taller than 183 at best and probably is in the 181,5 range . James looked 182 guy in the 80s but i agree on this listing. He is a well buit guy, big boned and maybe that made him give a bigger impression than he was.

I believe he was a solid 5'11'' in 1982, yes. These days, I'd say more like a weak 5'11''; maybe around 5'10.75 give or take.

He can look close to 5 11 but doubtfully that tall.
In red heat he was close to 4 inches under roids.
He was also shorter than Larry fish by a good deal.
I'd say he's 5 11 in shoes and two inches of hair.
Don't get the 5 8 claims he is taller than James Caan.
I would put him a strong 5 9 to weak 5 10.

About two inches shorter than Arnie in Red Heat, though had an fair footwear I think. I was thinking strong 5'11.

Huh, I always thought he was taller, like a legit 6 footer. I'm usually pretty good guessing actors heights but Belushi fooled me.

here belushi with Jerry O'Connell:Click Here
Clear pic, same ground, same camera angle, no excuses. O'connell is listed here at 6'2"(188cm) and he is clearly 4-5 inches taller than belushi. Belushi struggles with 5'10"(177cm). Everybody (serious) knows belushi was max max max 5'10" to be extra generous. This pic proves how many people have no idea how a legit 5'11" really is, how a legit 6'2" really is, how a legit 6'3" really is, etc... belushi was in the 5'9"(175-176cm)range, maybe a top of 5'10" when he was in his 20ies. Stop!

Peaked at 5ft11.5(182cm), I'm certain. Check him out in Red Heat opposite Arnold Scharzenegger who was probably near 6ft2. Looks no more than 2in shorter. Around 5ft11(180cm) today at 58.

Dan Aykroid (6'1) and Tom Arnold (6'1) appeared both in "According to Jim" and were nearly eye to eye with him.
Maybe he is 6'0.5 but not under that,5'11 is too low for this guy.

Time for an upgrade.

Anthony by Jim's left seems to be slouching a little bit, losing about 1/2 inch. Jim does look 5'11", but not much more than that.

Taking a look at cover of Jim`s new book i`d say his arms are at least 17 1/2 to 18 inches . He`s a very big thick muscleman . Have you seen the size of him when he takes his shirt off or when he has on a tight t-shirt ?? 5'11 AND 240 LBS OF MUSCLES

Tom Arnold (supposedly 6'1") was on According to Jim and he looked EXACTLY the same height as James Belushi.
Who's lying?

Looks around 1-2 inches shorter than 6ft4 Louis Gosset Junior in "the principal", maybe he was wearing lifts in that movie, or he could in fact be 6ft1?

I met James Belushi (standing) in a restaurant in LA. I am 5'7" and he wasn't that much taller. Guess this 5'11" is 'men measurement.'

In 2001, I danced onstage with Jim. I am nearly 5'10 and was wearing heals (so about 6'1) - I was just slightly taller - so 5'11 sounds about right (if not taller).
