How tall is Kiefer Sutherland

Sandy Cowell said on 3/Feb/23
⭐️ Kiefer’s fascinating horror film ‘Mirrors’ is GREAT, as is the follow up film, and as for ‘The Vanishing’, that’s amazing too!

The actor doesn’t look 56 AT ALL! I’m liking Donald’s offspring, that’s for sure. Kiefer has a twin sister called Rachel. 👧👦 They have siblings called Roeg and Angus too.

Sandy Cowell said on 2/Feb/23
I read an article once on how tall Kiefer said his male family members are, and I’ve inadvertently come across Rossif, playing the father in ‘Orphan - First Kill’.

Kiefer looks like Dad Donald, but without the very tall height. Rossif probably looks like Mum, and is mega tall. I’m so excited to have discovered another acting Sutherland! Kiefer has been in some fantastic things. Now I’m going to look forward to finding out about the whole family.

5ft8.75 😄👍🏼

I am confident I would beat this guy out in a measurement showdown.

Michael Cera is someone who would edge me out for sure.

Sandy C said on 20/Jul/22
Kiefer feels he missed out on the height front because his Dad and his brothers are all so tall, but Kiefer has made some EXCELLENT films, as indeed has his father.

His tall brothers can’t say that!

5ft8.5.

Rob, you're 5'8" and have tennis shoes on that give you 1/2 of an inch. Kiefer has absolutely flat footwear. He appears to be a half of an inch to an inch taller than you, which would make him at least 5'9". 5'8.5" is too short.

Abdulrahman176 said on 22/May/22
Thanks for the respond, Rob

Abdulrahman176 said on 22/May/22
He edges you out, Rob it’s noticeable, I’d say a smidge taller than 174 cm in the picture,

Sweorfan said on 21/Apr/22
Rob, how about hosting a measuring event, where celebs may attend — BARE FEET, NO SOCKS — and be measured BY YOU properly? Some celebs, of course, would avoid it like the plague… scheduling conflicts, no doubt, but celebs who want to prove their height and ones that are not ashamed will show., and you’d have a huge audience.

Jackie Lee said on 4/Apr/22
Lol rob how would you react to this video of people measuring with shoes on? Even one girl with high beanie on was measured 6 foot LOL! Height inflation is insane these days

174 cm at lunchtime.

khaled taban 5ft9 said on 19/Feb/22
Well maybe he was 174 at his peak, but today he is 173 at most!

Rising174cm said on 25/Dec/21
Mr. R deserves credit again. Imo, his estimate of 5'8" for Kiefer was spot on. I believe Kiefer looked 5'8" and change in motorcycle boots as he said, much like Rob confirmed Mr. R's estimate of 5'8.5" for Eric Roberts.

Rising174cm said on 6/Nov/21
Most likely, he was always closer to 5'8" and claimed 5'9". Take away boots and hair and you'd see it with Rob. He's not that old so maybe he was 5'8.25" peak and 5'8" current.

Kenneth Hardeman said on 10/Oct/21
Lmao look at Freddie hating, Kieffer was probably weak 5’9 in his prime now 5’8.5

Hey Rob I ran into the rapper Too Short last night and noticed he wasn’t listed. I would say he’s not “too short” seems taller than 5’7

Lorne??? said on 21/Jul/21
I am trying my best to.make it Rob, am having some personal and health problems

I started having seizures a few years back and lost a cm or so due to arthritis and mild -moderate scioilois

Yeah have been a fan of the site since the first time I encountered it

About Kiefer, may be you should give him a peak and current, cuz I can buy 174cm 20.years ago, yet he appears no taller than you if you take his 1cm.footwear advantage away. You are solid 173cm so.he could have been 5ft8.25-5ft8.5, and dropped.nearer 5'8 flat

Just my 10 cents, my 2 cents is free!

Keep.doing well Rob

Lorne??? said on 16/Jul/21
5ft8.25-5ft8.5

Rob, it us great to be back on the site; I have been coming here since I was 18 in 2008/2009

Tell me, I know.Jenny lost a couple mm, yet women lose height faster than men. So, are you still 5ft81/8th-5ft8.25 afternoon evening, or have you began losing mm?

And I am.sorry about contacting you, it just was not letting me post

Hope things are going well in Scotland, Rob

And I am guessing 174cm, though I think he has likely dropped a cm

People use to say my father looked like Kiefer Sutherland, miss ya papa

Rising174cm said on 9/Feb/21
Yeah, consider the boots and the hair, I'd definitely think more 5'8" flat than 5'8.5". Normally, I wouldn't assume height loss at his age, but he did look clearly taller than a 64 year old Michael Douglas: Click Here and about the same height as a 60 year old Douglas: Click Here Click Here So I can buy 5'8.25" peak and 5'8" current because I assume Douglas was still 5'8" flat at 64 and 5'8.5" at 60.

Dmeyer said on 2/Feb/21
Hé has 1cm more shoes and looks exact same height at best 0,5cm t'aller could bé 172,5cm looking 173,5cm could have Lost 0,25 in , 5-8 flat looks nearer today

slim 6'1 said on 12/Jan/21
I take back that 174 guess, 173 seems nearer to the truth

Rising174cm said on 8/Jan/21
If anything, 5'8.25" Jeremy Renner looks taller next to Rob without quite as much of a footwear advantage. Without the extra hair, there's barely any difference here so barefoot, I doubt he's taller than Rob. Maybe 5'8.25" peak, but it's not a certainly he lost anything by this age.

slim 6'1 said on 8/Jan/21
174cm peak is reasonable 👍

Vincent Caleb said on 28/Dec/20
5’8” today, maybe this listing is good for peak height.

Nik J Ashton said on 5/Dec/20
@ Don Esq. - How tall are you?

Pierre said on 5/Dec/20
Shorter than Rob by considering his advantageous heels.Around 5"7.5' to me

Don Esq. said on 27/Nov/20
what on your pants Rob??

Yharnamman said on 25/Nov/20
Haha Rob, looking at this photo you must have had an easy time estimating his height. Theres probably only like a 1/2 cm of difference between you two.

MaskDeMasque said on 21/Nov/20
Rob, he looks slightly taller than you but has a third of an inch more boot so wouldn't that equal out to him being the same as you at about 5'8.25? He looks 5'8.5 in 24 though, so do you think he might have shrunk .25 of an inch?

Sergey C said on 20/Nov/20
I don't think he has anything on you Rob. Those boots Keifer was wearing look like riding boots (1-5/8 inches). Also, the shape of his head and his hair advantage creates kind of an optical illusion that gives Keifer and edge. I actually think in this picture you are both about the same height and with his heel advantage I would give him 5'7.5.

Slim 6'1@ said on 4/Nov/20
Somewhere between 173.5-174cm robs listing is close enough to the truth

Vibram said on 3/Nov/20
He looks a flat 5'9 next to you Rob. Looked average height in Renegades (1989). His co-star Lou diamond Phillips wore 3" cowboys in that movie.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Nov/20
Rob, could Tim get a page here?



I think maybe close to 6ft2 at a push. He's slouching in that scene with Jeff and may edge him. Over 6ft1 for sure

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Nov/20
Tim Parati is his name. Another guy whose face you'd recognize immediately. Played a real nasty piece of work in A Time To Kill. I think he could be 6ft1½ range. Lanky guy at that height could easily get mistaken for 6ft3. Might've just edged Jeff on WD

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Oct/20
Rob, how tall would you say this guy is?

He's been listed 6ft3 but I struggle to see it. Standing tall I think he can be similar to JDM on Walking Dead. Maybe 6ft1 range.

Slim 6'1" said on 24/Oct/20
173cm range

okbymeman said on 23/Oct/20
174 is spot on, I wouldn't go under that even considering the footwear advantage.

Jkiller said on 22/Oct/20
He looked right below 5'9 in 24. He looks 5'8.5 here so the listing is spot on I'd say. I don't see him any lower than 5'8.5 though

Duhon said on 20/Oct/20
Based on the photo with Rob here I'm not sure why people are still guessing him as less than 5'8"? Rob acknowledged his slight shoe advantage but 5'8" flat would be the lowest, as Rob is a strong 5'8" himself.

Eric W Tam said on 20/Oct/20
I thought Kiefer was a tall guy like pushing 6'3, especially after seeing him replace David Hayter as Big Boss. Surprised to see he was only 5'8-9, and even more surprise dto see that he actually could have been a giant had he not been unlucky with genetics.

Arch Stanton said on 18/Oct/20
Must be weird having a father who was close to 6 ft 4, a 6 ft 5 brother and being 5 ft 8 range! Talk about being hard done by! It's bad enough Scott being 5 ft 10 range with Clint as a dad.

Josh Jeffords said on 16/Oct/20
From what I see here and dozens of movies and tv hes been in, he is more 5 7.5 than anything over 5 8.
Especially once he got older and gained weight looks pretty stumpy and small to rotund.
I am five foot seven and one half measured by a fitness pro, in boots I can look over 5 9.

6'3 Julian said on 13/Oct/20
Given that you said he had footwear advantage, I feel you two are of very similar height, so personally I can’t quite see 5’8.5

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 12/Oct/20
Rob is covering up 1/2" or 1cm on Kiefer.

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 12/Oct/20
@Trying
No, he doesn't look 175.

Trying To Be Honest said on 11/Oct/20
He looks 175cm here, so yeah he was easily 5ft9 in his prime, let's not be ridiculous.

Tunman said on 11/Oct/20
Rob,if you remember I asked you a long time ago about his head and you told me it's like 9.5-9.75.It seems definitely the case,actually not that much different from you,perhaps 24,5cm or 9.6-9.7?Still quite uncommon

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 11/Oct/20
That sounds far better, Rob. 😋👍

Now it's time to vote for Kiefer again, so he's getting 5ft8.5 - of course!

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 10/Oct/20
@ Rob - It must have been worrying having Jenny's carefully hand-crafted paper items sprayed with water! 😣

That's one pretty parrot, I must say, in blue and yellow. My German Aunt Olga kept a parrot and a ginger cat. The cat never went after the parrot: 🐈🐦 they were friends! 😄👍

Johnny 181-182 cm said on 10/Oct/20
@Rob is it possible Kiefer is your height barefoot?

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 9/Oct/20
@ Rob - Was this, per chance, the same miserable convention as the one in which you met Shauna MacDonald? I remember a similarly gruesome report on her page! 😉

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 8/Oct/20
@ bobbyh3342 - I'd say Rob is a tiny bit shorter - by around a quarter inch, because it's my belief that Rob is OVER 5ft8, even at night time, except after a particularly knackering day.

Kiefer gets 5ft8.5.

Andrea said on 4/Oct/20
Rob, it's funny how you suggest that he basically looks as tall as you, WITH more footwear and better posture, yet you just say that "5ft 8-8.25 today isn't exactly ruled out"... Either you're being very conservative or he looked taller in person that the pic suggests! Based on the pic, in fact, 172 is far away from being a bad guess.

Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 4/Oct/20
Baffles my mind that some people are guessing him as 175cm next to Rob. To be fair, the 172 guesses are just as bad.

Slim 6'1" said on 2/Oct/20
Weak 5’9”

Peter 180cm said on 1/Oct/20
He looks 175-176cm here with Rob.I'd say near 175cm isn't impossible,174 is the lowest one can argue.

Andrea said on 1/Oct/20
Rob, you say that you felt eye to eye and that he looked anywhere in 5'8-5'8.5 range, which looks believable in the photo... BUT that's without taking his footwear into account. Did he actually look 5'8.5-5'9 from your point of view?

Animus said on 28/Sep/20
Not sure about his peak height but based on this picture with Rob, I'd basically guarantee that he doesn't measure 5'8½ today.

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 25/Sep/20
5'8 barefoot at best i could trust.

Almost 180cm guy said on 25/Sep/20
I'm glad you met Kiefer, Rob. I think 5ft 8.5 is good for his peak height. But Kiefer is another person who could have make Forest Whitaker really could looked like 6ft 2.25. Here are some photos of them together from 2007: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Forest might have looked about six inches taller than Kiefer. Rob, maybe it's time to peak height for Forest?

Nik Ashton said on 24/Sep/20
@ maradon - It’s very funny to see the word knobhead in your comment! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kiefer is rather average though in terms of his height!

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 24/Sep/20
@ maradon - Knobhead - that's a funny word, isn't it, and reminds me of a particular episode of 'Inspector Morse', in which a highly respected Oxford University director keeps calling people, including his badly put-upon secretary, a knobhead. When they show this episode during the daytime, before the watershed, they only cut it out! How boring is that? 😂😂😂

Cheers maradon and good to meet you!
😁👍

Dmeyer said on 23/Sep/20
not less than 5 ft 8,25 peak 5 ft 8,5

maradon said on 23/Sep/20
Wow, Freddy Prince Jr complaining about Kiefer Sutherland being unprofessional when he's shouted at fans before. What a knobhead.

Plus, how can you call someone 'unprofessional' when it seems that the casting team wanted him to simply just take his shoes off. Just give "short" lads a break.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Sep/20
Rob, I reckon he could be dead even with you if you factored out the extra shoe

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 22/Sep/20
I don't think that the popular vote of 5ft8.28 is at all fair on Kiefer. He's 5ft8.5, just as Rob maintains up top.

When I've watched him in films, he looks like a normal-heighted bloke with a good physique. I rate his films 'The Vanishing', 'Flatliners' and 'Mirrors' particularly highly, and never did it once occur to me, "Ooh - this guy is below average!"

He is a fine male height and a replica of his heart-throb Dad, Donald. He starred in 'The Vanishing' and Sandra Bullock was his girlfriend. She was wearing flat trainers, and yes you could see a height difference in Kiefer's favour.

The superbly talented Kiefer gets 5ft8.5. 😄👍

Rising174cm said on 22/Sep/20
Yeah, Kiefer's hair is why I don't think the height difference is any greater than the footwear difference. So 5'8" today and probably 5'8.25" peak.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 22/Sep/20
@ Christian - Yes, testosterone does indeed contribute to height in men and women. It is present in both male and female bodies after puberty and is responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics - the growing of hair on certain parts of the body which we did not have as children.

Low testosterone levels in women can contribute to bad memory, poor bone density and even heart disease. Too right, therefore, to say that the male sex hormone plays a huge part in maintaining both male - and female - heights. Imbalance of the sex hormone testosterone can cause unwanted facial hair in women. If a man wishes to become a woman and takes large quantities of oestrogen, one of the first things he/she will observe is the thinning of his beard and body hair.

So yes, Christian, you are indeed spot on with this theory. 😁👍

Cheers and have a nice day!
Sandy XX 👌

Rising174cm said on 19/Sep/20
Woah, it honestly doesn't look to me like Kiefer would be any taller than Rob sans hair and cowboy boots. At best, I don't see him any taller than Renner, so 5'8"-5'8.25" is my guess, which is bad news for Robert Downey Jr. if Kiefer hasn't lost much height because Kiefer was definitely taller in that film they did in the late 80s with Winona Ryder.

there is so much evidence that downey isn't over 5'7 anyway.

Nik Ashton said on 22/Sep/20
@ Rob - Is 5’7.75” possible?

Nik Ashton said on 22/Sep/20
It would be very interesting to compare him with Nik Ashton!

Peter175 said on 22/Sep/20
He looks taller than you Rob but given the footwear advantage you said he has, I don't think it would be a full half inch

6james94 said on 21/Sep/20
Well he definitely ain’t five four or a full five nine. If you guys have a similar forehead sizes you guys would be the exact same height.

Hypado said on 21/Sep/20
Finally Jack Bauer here. I trust in Rob's hunch.

Tall Sam said on 20/Sep/20
Looks like Keifer is pretty much Rob's height twin.

6'3 Julian said on 20/Sep/20
The 5’4 was probably an roast, or at least that’s how I read it. Comedic exaggeration.

Nik Ashton said on 20/Sep/20
@ Rob - Who has the better posture?

Andrea said on 20/Sep/20
Great pic, Rob! I agree with Rising that without his footwear (are you sure it only adds 3.5 cms?), hair and also posture advantage, it's hard to believe he'd be any taller than you. Are you giving him the benefit of doubt that he might have lost a fraction or do you really believe he could still measure near 174?

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 20/Sep/20
@Sandy
That's interesting, does it have to do with osteoporosis due to lack of testosterone that causes women to tend to lose height quicker?

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 20/Sep/20
@ The Bat 🦇 - That's a crazy estimate for Kiefer. Freddie's wife, Sarah Michelle Geller, is 5ft2 at her lowest point of the day, so surely he can see full well that Kiefer is half a foot taller than her?

....sounds rather spiteful to me!

Cheers Bat! 🦇😉👍

Nik Ashton said on 20/Sep/20
I’m not convinced that Rob’s posture is great!

TheBat said on 19/Sep/20
I have no idea how Freddie Prinze Jr. guessed Kiefer at 5’4” when he looked nearly 4 inches taller than Kiefer.

Rising174cm said on 19/Sep/20
Woah, it honestly doesn't look to me like Kiefer would be any taller than Rob sans hair and cowboy boots. At best, I don't see him any taller than Renner, so 5'8"-5'8.25" is my guess, which is bad news for Robert Downey Jr. if Kiefer hasn't lost much height because Kiefer was definitely taller in that film they did in the late 80s with Winona Ryder.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Sep/20
Oh choice, Rob! You've been pictured with the great Kiefer Sutherland - you lucky thing you!

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Kiefer has lost height in his 50s; perhaps a tiny bit, but height loss doesn't effect guys as badly as women.

From the photo, I conclude that Kiefer's 5ft8.5. 😃👍

Danimal 176.7cm said on 18/Sep/20
In all fairness to Kiefer, he is in his early 50's and it's possible that he has lost 0.5" since his 20's. So, considering Rob wakes up at 5'9" (or close to it), I'm sure that Kiefer was at least a 5'9" guy 30 years ago.

c-mo 176.2cm said on 18/Sep/20
my sister met him and she said he looked around 175cm and also said that he is similar to our brother heightwise and our brother is 176cm morning 174cm at night

and she said that he seemed like a very nice person and was very friendly

FiveEightJake said on 18/Sep/20
Hard to tell you apart tbh. He barely looks taller and how much thicker is his shoe? Might be same height as you rob, 5’8.25 range

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 18/Sep/20
That half inch more footwear than Rob. Hmmm... 5'8 1/2 is not happening. Kiefer hair is thicker and higher too, marks a few advantage than Rob. Not surprise if he wasn't over 172cm flat.

Leesheff85 said on 18/Sep/20
How tall would angus be rob? 6ft 3 or 6ft 4 more likely

Pierre said on 18/Sep/20
Here both are looking very similar Kiefer standing imo a hair straighter than Rob . Kiefer wear cow boy boots then I guess him around 5"7.5'/5"7.75'

Johnny 181-182 cm said on 16/Sep/20
@Rob do you have a photo with Keifer?

Allie said on 25/Aug/20
Don't know why some are shocked that Kiefer's much shorter than his father (in his peak). His mother (according to Google) is 1.58m/5'2. His tall siblings are half siblings and their own mother herself doesn't look as short as 1.58/5'2...

I'd say he does look 174cm/5'8.5.

mark thompson said on 11/Aug/20
freddie sure doesnt hold back punches

Patrick1.76 said on 4/Aug/20
Rob, i really dislike you giving freddie prinz junior a platform with his quote. He is a bully, how can you say a 5foot9 guy is 5foot4 without having bad intentions saying that? You should not have such a quote on your website.

Visitor said on 19/Jun/20
And yeah, there's no way he's "5'4". There's simply no way you could shoot around that in an ensemble cast show also with so many additional scenes with large numbers of extras (24, I mean). Rewatching it, it seems more apparent that he's a bit on the shorter side of average. Back in the day, it seemed plausible enough that he's the 5'10 he was listed. Nowadays, 5'8 seems more likely to be accurate.

I don't know if the people who've seen him in person and say 5'4 really mean that, or mean it as a joke or just to underscore their point, but I just can't see that as being possible. Especially the taller you are yourself, it's REALLY hard to say exactly how much shorter someone you see is. I'm 182 cm (early/mid day, to emphasize and counter the other marks possibly not being absolute lows) and I know two guys who are 174 and 176 cm. Both of them to my eyes, close up, seem "short" and I couldn't estimate them with any reasonable accuracy. And neither of them are actually that short in absolute terms. It's simply that even the 5 cm difference seems like it's more... if you're purely guessing. Case in point: a friend, 192 cm tall also once guessed me at "178 cm".

Visitor said on 19/Jun/20
Many scenes in 24 where he's briefing a group of SWAT guys or something similar, and he's very obviously "short" there. On the other hand, most of the main cast or otherwise regulars are closer to his height, a large part of them might even have been picked partly for that reason. Most of the women especially are very short, so that even though they are wearing obvious, regular heels (as opposed to lifts etc.) they still look substantially shorter. Same thing with Carlos Bernard. And in the majority of shots, no shoes are seen, I think the "have the taller guy take his shoes off" thing is used regularly and not only with Freddie Prinze Jr. Makes perfect sense from a photographing point of view, for example it's difficult to frame close-ups if the actors in question are 6" apart in height!

re: "not believable that he gets in fights with bigger dudes and knocks them out"... I disagree completely. Strength is not at all proportional to height in that way, I've never seen any study say that strength linearly correlates with height or ever personally seen anything to make me think that. The fact is, more or less, that men are (relatively) strong to begin with. Movies etc. make this seem like a joke to many people, but you really don't want any man to e.g. punch you full force in the head. Doesn't matter how much taller you are and whether or not he's 5'8 or 5'9. There's enough force there to cause a serious concussion or even something much worse if you're unlucky.

Canson said on 26/May/20
5’4”? No chance he’s that low

BooNow said on 25/May/20
I and MANY people I know have seen him in bars and/or been drinking with him... if my 5’6” friend was in front of him, you couldn’t see him because he REALLY is around 5’4”ish. I’m 5’9 and I’m taller than the people who were towering over him. This is the MAIN thing people who meet him IRL in flat shoes go on and on about... he’s so tiny. Nothing wrong with that. It’s Hollywood, everyone lies about age, height, or weight at some point. Any male actor I know under 5’9” puts 5’9” on their official stats if they think they can get away with it... it’s like the unofficial minimum casting height for guys, otherwise it can potentially limit how many auditions you get. The one thing I know for sure is that every guess they give in the drop down menu is too tall.

movieguy12 said on 18/May/20
Strange comment saying he's 5'4''. Bad blood there I think. Obviously taller 5'9'' isn't unrealistic.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 21/Dec/19
🎁🎂🎈 Happy Birthday Kiefer! 🎈🎂🎁

I am delighted to find that it's Kiefer Sutherland's 53rd Birthday today! While looking for any worthwhile snippets of information about his height, I came across some other exciting things instead. I mean, we know his height anyway, but I for one had no idea that Kiefer was born in St Mary's Hospital in London, England. (I've had stitches there in my big toe after walking swiftly into an empty bottle and shattering it!)
😂👟🍾😣

Then there's another amazing thing: Kiefer has FIVE 'middle' names, so his full name is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland. That's quite a mouthful, containing each and every vowel and it's easier to state which letters AREN'T in his names than the ones which are! The only letters that don't get a look-in are B, J, Q, V, X and Z.

Kiefer followed his Dad into the film world, with films of a way above average quality. 'The Vanishing', 'Flatliners' and 'Mirrors' are all films quite capable of waking a person right up after a long day's slog, as happened to me when I first saw 'The Vanishing'. I was hunting for a copy for years, but that's because I didn't have access to the Internet.

Of course, Kiefer will have been compared unfavourably to his very tall father, who is around 7" taller, but so what? The two still look identical, and I bet that many people took him for a lad who was still sprouting for many years after he'd stopped growing, expecting him to reach nearer to Dad's height than he actually did!

Have a terrific time today Kiefer - you get the usual 5ft8.5. 😁👍

⭐ It's not the best idea to size up his height when he's in that huge deserted wreck of a building in the movie 'Mirrors'; anyone would look shrimpish in that haunted heap! 🧐🐟

Very strange his height

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 7/Dec/19
What a revolting ending 'Mirrors' has! I saw it last night and thought the ending really was my idea of hell! Well, maybe not as bad as burning for eternity, but pretty grim nonetheless. 😱

Comparing Kiefer to the girl who plays his sister, Amy Smart, there looks to be about a 2.75-3" gap, yes. I shall give Kiefer 5ft8.5. What a brilliant, edge-of-your-seat performance!

I figured he’d be at least 5’9-5’10”-ish considering his dad’s a bit tall, but I can totally relate when I say he got the short end of stick (no pun intended). And especially compared to his brother’s. Big Boss, everyone! (I kid, Kiefer’s a John).

2 inches shorter than Lou Diamond Philips

I see Lou is listed at 5'11" but looks more 5'10.5" to me at least nowadays. Only 57 yrs old but not impossible he lost a little.

Eric W Tam said on 6/Jul/19
Dang, all his brothers are taller than 6'4 and his father is 6'4? The unlucky guy probably got the short genes from someone in the family. (I could so picture his mother being 5'0 to 5'2 max now, lol). Guess he's not so much of a BIG boss after all.

5'8 taller than cruise or Nicholson in his older years

Trish Micallef said on 12/Jan/19
I live in Toronto, Kiefer stay's with his Aunt while he's here, I can see her balcony from my balcony, and in High School, my sisters locker was right beside his locker, my sister is 5'5 1/2 and he was shorter than her at age 18, and I almost walked right into him last summer in on Queen street in Toronto, and I'm 5'6 he was shorter than me, and he was wearing shoes with a slight lift, so he's maybe 5'5 at best, and he's also TINY, in frame size, I could kick his ass..lol

He claimed 5'10" when he was arrested though.

For someone notorious for his ego, Kiefer's very honest about his height. You'd think he would insist that he's 5'10 or 5'11.

Jackson Six said on 9/Sep/18

Here we have a son who is SEVEN inches shorter than Dad! Another incredible finding to say the least! Other than that, they look exactly the same!

Kiefer gets 5ft8.5 from me this Sunday! I get a most unwelcome and rather smelly wash from ginger tomcat Pixie!

"... often called for him to fist fight with other men - men who were often bigger than he was. He looked a little silly. Action heroes need to be six feet tall."

The only thing that's silly is the above quote, PLB. Fighting has almost nothing to do with height, and it's certainly not even close to being deciding factor in who wins.

annymoud said on 15/Jan/18
rob how tall would u say kefier mom and twisn sister is in this pic I say his mom is 5 foot(probably where keifer got his height) his sister is probably 5 foot 6 or 5 foot7 .Click Here:

Seb said on 23/Oct/17
Just saw the Sentinel. Keifer and Michael Douglas looked about the same height. First Keifer looked a shade taller then Michael did. I'd say neither was ever taller than 5'8". But, hey, I never stood next either of them. Enjoyed the movie.

thing is, generally speaking... america is overweight

Well just think about it he has admitted in the past to weighing something around 140lbs. Im sorry but that is really light for an adult male that was 5'9. Average height weight in America is rougly 175lbs and 5'9.5. I doublt much more then 5'8.

Surprisingly, Kiefer does appear about the same height as Michael Douglas in a series of photos promoting Flatliners in 1991.

It's unfortunate we can't see footwear or full pics, but either man can appear taller depending on the photo, which typically suggests the difference wasn't big. Douglas was a known lift wearer and imo, about 5'9" flat. Kiefer is likely a half inch shorter and to my knowledge, doesn't wear lifts, but has liked cowboy boots. By 2005, both looked the same in normal shoes - 174 cm.

RisingForce said on 24/Jun/17
This is listing is spot on. He's clearly smaller than 5'9", but he measures up better to others than just a flat 5'8". Claiming he's "maybe" 5'9" suggests he was rounding up as well. He was slightly taller than Robert Downey Jr. in the 1988 film "1969." He can pass for his 5'9" claim, though, especially since he's worn cowboy boots, but 5'10" was really pushing it.

Theo said on 24/May/17
Watching Designated Survivor and I am wondering if hey intentionally cast all tall people to make him look small and weak early on and if they will progressively cast shorter people as his "stature" as a character grows. It the only explanation I can think of. Everyone towers over him, even minor characters that could easily be cast with just about anyone. They seem to make little effort to use camera angles o mask this either. If tou watch movies with short stars like Tom Cruise, there always shorter people around him, even if he is just walking through a crowd. Must be intentional. Great show BTW!

Bee123 said on 7/May/17
Freddie's got a right to be annoyed but I think 5'4 is a bit low lol

I am totally surprised that Kiefer and I am the same height. His comment that most people think he is taller is totally accurate, at least for me. I wonder if it is because his father is tall that I assumed Keifer is too. MAY I JUST SAY I FIND THIS WEBSITE TO BE TOTALLY FASCINATING!

I have always been more or less the same height as my Dad (171 cm) throughout my adult life. I was the same height as my Dad when I was in my late 20's even though at this time my Dad was in his 60's. Also my Dad was a flat 5'8" or maybe slightly more when he was at his peak.

Arch Stanton said on 26/Nov/16
What's with this "usually" James? I don't know many guys who are the same height as their father in fact. Some end up much taller.

Usually the Son is his father's height or an inch taller ..Donald was 6'2 at his peak

Sandy Cowell said on 22/Nov/16
I wonder if his Mum is small as Kiefer doesn't get his height from his Dad! He does get his looks from Donald though, there's no denying that! He's also in some fantastic films. I thought 'Mirrors' was excellent and so were 'Flatliners' and 'the Vanishing.'

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/May/16
No, Donald cleared 6ft3 at peak. Watch MASH. At least 1in over Gould (6ft2-2½) and Alda (6ft2). Could even pull off 6ft4 occasionally. Kiefer's mother is about 5ft tall. So I think that might explain why he's not taller. Aswell, his so-called "taller brothers" are only his half-brothers. Donald's second wife looks 5ft8ish...

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Apr/16
174/175cm range I believe

Hey rob do think it was possible that he could've been 5'9 in his prime since he has a very bad smoking habit.

Andrea said on 12/Jan/16
Rob, do you think Kiefer is height aware? He doesn't seem at all to me... He also seems very honest about his height (well, at least when he said to be around 5'9)!
I've seen a couple interviews with him and he seems a very nice guy! Don't know what happened with Freddie...

Andrea said on 22/Nov/15
Well, in that pic he must be losing 5 inches? He doesn't look much over 5'9! Can you find pictures of Donald looking more than 5 inches taller than Kiefer or he was already not over 6'1-6'1.5 when Kiefer was born?

Andrea said on 20/Nov/15
For those who say that his father is much taller than him: Click Here
They really don't look much different :)
Rob, do you think Donald might be 5'9 today?
But seriously there many pictures where he can look 3-4 inches taller, maybe closer to 5 in some but certainly not a huge difference as some said...

Andrea said on 22/Oct/15
Just started watching 24 (well, not really "just" since i'm already at season 3) and 5'8.5 seems a fair listing! He can look anywhere between 5'8 and 5'9... Wouldn't be surprised if he was just a solid 5'8, like Rob, though! Not a chance he's as low as 5'6 or 5'7, like some people tried to say or as big as 5'10-5'11... Funny how that guy Freddie Prinze called him 5'4, he must have been very angry to him!
Rob, have you watched all the seasons? Did you enjoy the show? I like it, even if it seems a bit repetitive at times and Jack becomes more and more "immortal" through the series xD

He always gave a short impression to me. Doesnt help either that Freddy Prince Jr ( 6 foot) claims that he had to remove his shoes when working with him. He also said that he was like 5ft 4 in.

In Young Guns he is shorter than 5'9 Charlie Sheen i think he is 5'8 max. Rob Would be very similar.

He get's described as 5'11" a couple times on 24, but he obviously isn't quite that tall. He also appears to edge out Carlos Bernard.

Rob, do you think it's possible he could be a flat 5'9"? I think he can look shorter than that on 24, but most of the other male actors on it do look 6'0"+ most of the time.

Great actor though, absolutely love 24.

Keifer gets his height from his mother's side of the family. His grandfather, Tommy Douglas, was a big man in a small body. He is credited with starting universal health care in Canada when he was premier (akin to Governor in US) of Saskatchewan in 1960. Amazing man!

Weird. I checked out photos of him with Julia Roberts, and in most of them he appears taller. But there's one that shows both of them from head to toe, and granted she's wearing heels and she's naturally about 5'9" I've heard, but he's MUCH shorter than she is in that photo.

PLB said on 29/Jul/14
For almost any normal profession, your height hardly matters. Does anyone choose their accountant for his height? But for movie or TV action hero you usually want a bigger guy. Small guys just look wrong when they get in a fist fight.

That's the story on Kiefer Sutherland - he's too short to play Jack Bauer.

In 24 he was always punching out someone. He was his own credibility gap. He didn't for a minute look like someone who could knock out the opposition with one blow.

They had another agent played by a full size black man - Roger R. Cross. In a couple episodes he single handedly beat up two or three bad guys. He looked plausible. I can accept that a large muscular man who is a trained agent could duke it out with several guys and prevail. But not Keifer Sutherland. Too small.

His father seldom got to play heroes and engage in fistfights, but he was big enough to be believable on those occasions when he was cast in an action part. Kiefer is just too small.

He seems to be about 5'6".

Mastro said on 29/Jul/14

Jon is RIGHT. Kiefer is 1 of thee shortest people I've ever met, next to the rapper T.I. T.I. is about 5'3-5'4. Sutherland is about 5'5-5'6. He was even wearing cowboy boots when I ran into him. I looked like a giant in front of him. I'm like 5'9-5'10. BTW he is beyond arrogant but what was I going to expect ? A nice guy named David who's the leader of the bad vampires to stand 6'0-6'2 ?

I don't see a strong resemblance Sean at all. He has a similar shaped long face type and blue eyes, unusually long for his height I'd say which more belongs on a guy Donald's height, but I was only thinking earlier than he didn't look much like Donald at all, especially in body shape.

Very strange the illusions film creates. On flatliners kiefer and kevin bacon look 5'11 or more lol. Although in the film he was wearing that tan trenchcoat, boots and had tall hair. He looked 5' 9.5ish on a few good men next to cruise. I've noticed on several appearences on the jonathan ross show he seemed the 5'8.5" you have listed here. i always thought he was taller than me, being a flat 5'10" barefoot myself i'm kinda surprised still.

Kiefer is about 5'9 to 5'10.

Beside William Devane, he looks about an inch taller. So if Devane is 5'10 then Kiefer is 5'11. But I'd say that he is a perfect 5'9. Excellent actor.

he mostly looks 5 ft 8.25-8.75 on 24 , one thing about him on the shoes he mostly wears 1 in boots if you look closely his heels arent even i the 1.2-1.3 range more like 1 in he dosnt look shorter than 174cm bernard the guy is 174cm

Still, for a guy with a 6'4" father 5'8" range is very short. Even if his mother is 5'2". I've know a lot of guys with very tall fathers and short mothers and they have all been over 6' except for one. Most of them were in the very tall range like the father. Even with a short mother you'd have expected Kiefer to reach 6' at least.

Anon said on 6/Sep/11
Met him last week, he seems short, I figured 5ft 6 maybe 5 7 at the time but looking back at the photos he is a good 4 inches talller than me which would put him at least 5 8 if not more.

Ethan said on 19/Aug/11
Lork, Please stop BS'ing, he's 5'9, have you ever watched 24? No lifts can make you 4 inches taller and not be noticeable, his body looks it. He's 175cm aka 5'9, not less. You're probably some silly loser who is obsessed with Kiefer, get a life.

lork said on 19/Aug/11
Dealt with him on several occasions (as a police officer.. don't ask)... at best, he's 5'5"-5'6". Probably about 145-150 lbs tops. A surprisingly little guy.

Donald Sutherland is 6' 4" and Shirley Douglas is 5' 2.5", which would then have the children of an average 6' 0", with a deviation of +/- 4 inches. This can range from 5'8" to 6'4". 95% of their children goes within this range. So it's not surprising that Kiefer Sutherland is 5'8.5"

Guy Who Normally Comments with Anonymous says on 2/Feb/11
The average height of a male is 5'9ish. Humans are supposed to be between 5 and roughly 6'1. The reason Kiefer is shorter is because he did not inherit his father's gene. Plus DNA or some genetic mutations may have played a role in Donald's excessive height (more human growth hormone released that just happens randomly). These things aren't a 100% blueprinted out. Just cause one has a tall parent doesn't mean he or she will be tall.

It depends. If a person has one tall parent and the other short, very likely the person will be in between. it can also be nutrition. Kiefer didn't inherit his dad's height is because he has a short mother and it could possibly be that he didn't eat well.

he looks more 172-3 range on 24

Joe said on 16/May/09
5'10 with shoes, 5'9 without. How do you get these precise 5'8.5 estimates i wonder?

i don't know anything to do with genetics or DNA or stuck like that. But maybe because hes a twin, his twin sister got some of the tall gene? lol

Dani lots of the huge 6'4"er guys only produced average height sons, James Brolin's son is struggling with 5'10" too as is Hogan's son. Funny thing is although Kiefer is so much shorter he definately resembles Donald facially more than Rossif does. They definately have similar eyes and a long pointy face shape, you can definately see its his father even though he towers above Kiefer.

What went wrong with Kiefer? He's only 5"8 meanwhile his dad is 6"4

Comets said on 9/Mar/09
His father is over 6'2, he didn't get his Genes unfortunately

Kiefer Sutherland trick is similar like me, hehe. i am a 5'10 guy but with straight back posture and chest out oh and a good shoes hill (i wear for a good 2 cm), i look a good 6'!

Kiefer is 5'8, same like Johny depp.

When he is wearing formal shoes, his pair with the highest heals, and he straightens his backand puffs his chest out, then he starts getting closer to the high he claims :-)

He looked about 2-3 inches taller than robert carlyle on 24 redemption. I say 5ft 9 atleast for sutherland.

With Christian Slater (5'-8.25" or lower) and Martin Sheen (5'6"). Martin is most likely in lifts:

He really seems more 5'8", to me, than anything above that, though, he's able to pull off more than that.

Keiffer is about 5'7". I am 5'9" and interviewed him for a show I did when he was in my city on a movie shoot with his then love interest, Julia Roberts. My recollection is Julia was maybe half an inch taller than him in whatever shoes she was wearing. Kieffer was wearing tennis shoes when I met him. And he weighed MAYBE 150lbs...

woody has 5-9 on his license yet i saw him for a week in sandals and have a proof pic of it(not the sandals)and he is pushing 5-11.

Woody Harrelson looked at least two inches taller than Kiefer in The Cowboy Way. It's the tallest I've ever seen Woody look and the shortest I've ever seen Kiefer look. Either Kiefer is 5'8" or or Woody is pushing 5'11".

DG said on 25/Nov/08
Just walked past him in NYC. 5'8.5"is a good estimate. I'm 5'10" and seemed to have a good inch and a half on him.

He was once described as 5'11" on 24.

This is perfect! I see Kiefer around LA and he is between 5-8 and 5-9. Also, that is WITH big motorcycle boots that he loves to wear!

Steve said on 19/Jul/08
I think his morning measure is 176,5 cm and his daily measure a little under 175 cm.

Makes sense what you say, A_D

Kiefer Sutherland is 5-8 165 not 5-10 150 he looks shorter and a little stocky to be that tall
