John Travolta's Height
5ft 11 (180.3 cm)
Peak height was 6ft ¼ in (183.5 cm)
American Actor best known for films such as Pulp Fiction, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Face/Off, Blow Out, The Look Who's Talking Trilogy, Swordfish, Hairspray and Get Shorty. He spoke honestly about his misreported height on Larry King when talking about Princess Diana, saying that "I'm six, a little over six [feet]."

It was clearly planned. I knew it would be an attention-grabbing moment and I had three hours to sweat.
I’m six feet tall. I think with heels she’s probably my height. Tall woman, and slender – so the illusion is tall.

I'd buy a strong 6 feet or a smigde over when younger. Still a strong 5'11 nowadays.

In the first episode of Welcome Back, Kotter, Travolta is discernibly taller than Gabe Kaplan. Moreover, Kaplan is at least 2 inches taller than James Woods (who appeared in that episode). Of course, who knows the footwear situation, but I think we reasonably assume they all had "70s" shoes or boots on. I would put Travolta at at least 6 feet, Kaplan at 5'10.5" and Woods at 5'8.5"

I like his little ponytail in Pulp Fiction! He had long hair in Carrie too. It suits him!
6ft0.5 peak and an inch less today. I distinctly remember back in the 70s that he said he was 6ft.

The recent commercial with the "scrubs " stars, zach braff (6') and donald faison (5'11"), john looked comfortably shorter than both actors. That leads me to think he was more 5'11.5"-5'11.75" at his peak (he did look very close height wise to his 5'11" "welcome back kotter " costar gabe Kaplan, and that "just over 6' claim could've been in-shoes?), and maybe around 5'10.5"-5'10.75" (barefoot, end of day) today.

"I'm six, a little over six [feet]." - it's so honest claim, wow.
In "Pulp fiction" i thought he was the same height as Bill Hicks (R.I.P) and has similar aura and proportions. Long dark hair is only forcing this feel, lol)

He claimed both 6' and 6' and change. Never 6'1 or 6'2 which sound very exaggetated. He might have been just under 6ft in his peak, I'm betting 182-182.5 is right on the money and he just claimed his morning height-not a bad lie at all.

Travolta is another actor who has been able to boost his own height claims to as high as 6ft 2 because of the many short actors around in Hollywood during his peak years who were boosting there own 5ft 7/8 inches to 5ft 10 and more when asked. He is not short but his peak height was only ever just about 5ft 11 but next to those guys 6ft 2 looked reasonable. You can see this in Pulp Fiction where he is a good 2 inches shorter than Samuel Jackson. He is slightly taller than 5ft 10 Uma Thurman, who has herself been able to boost her height to 5ft 11 in the same circumstances.

I’d like to recommend John’s movie entitled ‘The Fanatic’. I came across it on Amazon, read the write-up and decided to give it a go. He excelled my expectations in every way. We usually see John playing suave, sexy roles, but he’s almost unrecognisable in this, right down to the way he walks, his facial expressions and his unkempt appearance.
He plays an obsessed fan called Moose, who is seething with anger after the object of his affections, an actor called Hunter Dunbar, fails to give him an autograph. Things spiral out of control, as Moose refers back to Dunbar’s movies to enact his revenge. He’s one seriously disturbed guy, and this 2019 film is well deserving of its ‘18’ certificate.
What an incredible actor! 👌🏼😁
6ft0.25 peak and 5ft11.5 today. ‘The Fanatic’ is not the best flick from which to judge John’s height nowadays! 🙊

There was a question on The Chase just now as to which film John Travolta first starred in. The options were Carrie, Grease and Saturday Night Fever.
Of course, the answer was Carrie, but what foxed me was how surprised Bradley Walsh was. Chaser Mark got it right, but not because he knew it but because he realised it was the earliest film. The female contestants DID know this, including the fact that John had long hair. The male contestant being asked got it wrong.
BRADDERS - YOU ARE OLDER THAN ME! 😂😂😂

I really can’t see him over 6’0.25 peak with Samuel Jackson, especially that one scene in Pulp Fiction when they were side by side. 6’0.25 is good. Maybe 6 flat at worst.

Yep certainly but I could understand if he would claim 184 or 185 cm as most likely he could measure 185 cm early in the morning but then 188 cm that is certainly not feasible for him.

The first film of John's I saw was the original 'Carrie', which was in 1977 at the pictures. He had long hair then and looked tall.
He did feature in my teenage magazines, but not as a result of making 'Carrie'! 😂😂😂 Oh no, that was after 'Saturday Night Fever', and he was frequently chalked up in the mags as 6ft.
I'm going with 6ft0.25 for John's peak and 5ft11.5 for today.

A little above 6 ft is spot on, one of the honest celebs when it comes to height claim, tho i would say he's closer to 184 than 183 cm, so the average guess is just right, and for today, he's still 5'11,5

Standing by himself in the 80's with big hair and a lanky build, he did look a 6'1/6'2 guy, when in reality the highest he likely ever hit was 6'1 fresh out of bed.

They were both at their peaks in Pulp fiction Rampage. I’d say 2 inches is about right. I think Samuel l Jackson was a solid 6’2”, but maybe there he could be argued 6’2” and change.

Nah, he's no less than 215lbs in Pulp Fiction. I'd say he's like 22% body fat (obviously a rough estimate) and he's a broad-shouldered, reasonably well-muscled guy, so he's definitely quite a bit above 200lbs. Here's a picture of his upper body in PF: Click Here

This poor man has been through so much tragedy during his life, and now he's lost his wife, Kelly. and wants to be there for his two remaining children.
I've been reading what his 20-year-old daughter, Ella, has been writing about her Mama and Daddy. John must be so proud of her. It moved me to tears.
Thoughts and prayers for the whole family and their friends. XXX 💐

183.5cm peak is probably right. What I always noticed about him was that his head just seemed to increase in size at one point in time.

Rob, who do you think would measure tallest out of Ford, Travolta, Washington and Lee Jones peak?

Under 6ft peak is out the window. Clearly edges Willis and a heeled Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

I'm awaiting a copy of a very young John Tavolta's film, 'The Devil's Rain'. It also stars William Shatner and Ernest Borgnine and is a true (very scary!) classic from the '70s.
That will show John at his peak without a shadow of a doubt!
I'll leave the box blank until it arrives.

Like He said, he was definitely around 6 footer in my eyes standing with Emma Thompson with my height range in late 1990s even before his daughter Ella was born... of course, it's safe to guess that his height as of 2019 is now 5ft 11 quarter range... plus surprised for me to know that his daughter is 5ft 9 half range tall which is considerably much taller than average girls and women with 5ft 4.5 range... his daughter Ella is definitely not taller than Nicole Kidman, Jane Lynch, Michelle Wie etc...

No, James but there have been occasions where he’s worn lifts to look at least that tall. Obviously Fever but also he appeared on Jonathan Ross about 12 years ago and was easily more than 1in taller when they shook hands. He actually looked about 6ft3!

Hi Rob! I still think that the current Travolta height needs downgrade. As for his peak height, I don't completely rule out the 6'0.5" mark, but I think someone like Denzel Washington may have more chances in his prime to measure it than Travolta. Denzel and John met in 2017: Click Here
Denzel looks taller than Travolta, moreover John had thicker shoes than Denzel: Click Here Click Here
Now look at the photos of Travolta next to Pitbull in 2018, I really don't see a four inch difference between them: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Pitbull is bald while Travolta has thick hair. Similarly, when Travolta met 50 Cent in 2018, it is another situation in which Travolta has much denser hair: Click Here
Even with Travolta's hair he looks much shorter than 50 Cent today. Besides, when John met Lady Gaga in 2017, I know that she was wearing huge heels but even then she should not look so tall next to him if John is really 5'11.5": Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Perhaps during the measurement, Travolta is still able to beat the 5'11" by 1/4 inch, but I doubt that he will still be able to measure 1/2 inch over 5'11". Rob, I think it's time to you should give him a downgrade to 181 cm.

Maybe a quarter inch off instead then Rob, maybe 5'11.25 and an inch loss from his prime, I think he probably just clears 5'11 but his posture and times can make him appear a weak 5'11.

Anything from 178-181 is out of the question. He looks 182 today at age 63. In his prime he was easily 183-184 but was slim so could easily pass for 185. And in boots was 187-188 which is probably why he is listed at 6’2” on google

I think the 6ft2 reports only started to come out in the 90's when he had his resurgence.
Editor Rob in his early career he was regularly described 6ft, usually this stuff is from the actor's bio. I believe Travolta was honest back then and as we see, he said 6ft or a little over, a couple of decades later.
Here is a clipping From 1976, also I didn't realise he got into Scientology about age 21!

i think his current height is no taller than 181 he never looks tall anymore. peak i think he could have been over 6 foot early in the day but maybe fall down to 6 foot flat in the late afternon. in movies he could look 184-185 sometimes but thats is in the movies. he is probably honest with his claim but this is max.

John Travolta was the same height as actor Tim Allen who is 5'9. John Travolta looked 5'9 in Wild Hogs. I saw him in Hairspray where he plays a Woman wear he wears a fat suit to look very huge.He also had high heels on and he was the same height as the male dancers who wore dress shoes. Travolta wore heels that would give him 3 inches more height and still he stood the same height as the male dancers and actors in the movie. He looked shorter than Christopher Walken as well. Travolta was 5'9 at most when he did Hairspray and Wild Hogs.

All the comment of Glenn you have to subtract 1,25 as glenn is 5ft 6,75 instead of 5'8 , hé was Travolta at 5'11 that means 5'9,75
Glenn has also measured at over 5'7" with Rob, so no need to hate.
Editor Rob: his second measurement was 5ft 7 1/16th, but with the 1/8th inch extra height the stadiometer gives, it was just about 5ft 7 flat.
Still 5'7" nonetheless Rob. I agree, he wasn't anywhere close to 5'8", but some people on this site like to trash talk him (not yourself) when he's not here to defend himself.

I'm only a mm or so under five-nine and even I feel bad about claiming five-nine so I don't know how Glenn who is the same amount under five-seven can claim five-eight , if your 5'6 15/16th's or 5'6 31/32nd's well then you should know your not 5'8 duh,

He's always came across as very similar in height to Samuel LOL. Jackson and Hugh Jackman as far as I'm concerned. Him & Hugh were on some show together (Saturday night live perhaps?), & were side by side with very little difference between them, perhaps an inch or 2 give or take; and with SLJ in Pulp Fiction, JT holds up very well in height with him! I'd say he still looks at least 6 feet tall.

I admire John Travolta because, although his life has been blighted with tragedy, he still holds his head up and makes films for us to enjoy! The latest of his that I bought is called 'Criminal Activities', which also stars Michael Pitt, who I'm interested in. I also have at least 6 other of his films and I would love to track down a copy of 'The Devil's Rain', from John's early career - very scary!
I know his peak height was 6ft, and I see here he was a touch over. To be 5ft11.5 is still good as it means he has only lost 3 quarters of an inch!
I wonder if that's down to the urine consumption he so famously swears by?

John is tough to guess often weird shoes big heels and hair.
I'd guess 6 ft tops in 90s just looked tall around short guys.
He did look big a few times but that was likely camera work.
You cannot judge height by arm length that's a myth some short guys got long arms vice versa.

All the comment of Glenn you have to subtract 1,25 as glenn is 5ft 6,75 instead of 5'8 , hé was Travolta at 5'11 that means 5'9,75
Glenn has also measured at over 5'7" with Rob, so no need to hate.
Editor Rob: his second measurement was 5ft 7 1/16th, but with the 1/8th inch extra height the stadiometer gives, it was just about 5ft 7 flat.
Still 5'7" nonetheless Rob. I agree, he wasn't anywhere close to 5'8", but some people on this site like to trash talk him (not yourself) when he's not here to defend himself.

@danibal,. He is not under 5'11. Anything 5'11 to 6 foot is reasonable but to say he is less is crazy.

There s no way he is 6 feet. He was 5,10" when he did Welcome Back Kotter. All his other male cast members besides Washington were 5'4" n height. The females on the show were around 5'1". Today he is 5' 8" He looks 5' 8" which is really still very tall for a male. Average male height in Canada and USA is around 5' 5".
Where are you getting your stats from? Average height for a male in the US and Canada is NOT 5'5". It's 5'9.5"-5'10" in the US and 5'9"-5'9.5" in Canada. Also, since when is 5'8" tall for a male?

If Kevin Costner is 6'1and he was taller than Ray Liotta in Field Of Dreams and Ray Liotta is taller or same height as Travolta then Travolta can't be 6'. Costner seemed bout 1.05 inches taller than Liotta.

Average male height is 5'5"? I don't live there charlie but i don't believe that for an instant. John does look 5'11" nowadays but around 6' for his peak seems fine.

He appears 181-182 on OJ, I doubt he'd measure less than a full 181cm today.
Still torn on 183.5 peak. I think his claim was honest, but maybe it was like 183.3-4 lunchtime and 183 night? It's just no less than 2 inches between him and Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction, could appear very well 2.25-2.5, plus he's dropped 2cm by late 50's? It is questionable.

good grief I see his height all over showing him to be 6 foot 2 and some sites say 6 foot 1 inch,another site said and even 6.0 and now 5 foot 11.5. I saw wild hods and hes pretty well even with Tim Allen whos listed as 5 foot 10 inches. But all these years hes been listed as 6 foot 2 inches. Its impossible to shrink 2 and a half inches with his age.

Editor Rob I think Cage hasn't really dropped much at all, whereas from early 90's to now Travolta definitely looks like he's dropped a bit. Cage may well measure a fraction taller than Travolta today, but a peak John I think was honest saying a little over six foot, very likely he measured around that mark.
