I doubt he's under this listing really. He does look at least an inch taller than Jennifer Lawrence all footwear considered. He tends to wear heels that make him stand at probably 5'10-11 range so he can look a bit tallish next to other celebrities. He's average height basically.

@Giusi Misuraion of stadiometro or self misuraion are more realistic than you r observations, you don't consider that you' be a very bad posture or the fact that long hair and big head feel him more short
He is almost 5 ft 7
Sandals are almost 2 3 cm
Also I'm 5 ft 9, but with bad posture can seem 5 ft 8 or so, are you ignorant to think that I'm tall 5 ft 8?

People saying 5'7" are going to low. Google has him listed as 5'9" now. Looking at pictures of him with barefoot Jennifer Lawrence, I don't think that's too far off. I'd say solid 174 cm.

The guy is VERY short. I knew that since I had seen his first video. Compare his head to the rest of his body: either he's got a gigantic head - he hasn't - or he's very short, very small. Then I chanced to meet him, some 10 years ago. I am 1.72 myself, and I recognized him while in a gelateria/restaurant in Italy. I was wearing sandals - no heels - and I still looked down on him. He had heels, and keep in mind his hairdo gifts him with 3-4 cm. Not taller than 1.66 if you ask me. Google is really giving fake data abouy celebrities. Caterina Murino, for instance, is the same height, never mind what she claims in her sites 😂

Well you know what they say....,
it's not how tall you are, it's if you can see out the window to be able to park it in the garage.
Besides, it's Lenny! I wouldn't care if I had to give him a booster seat, 💗

I am 5ft 2. 5.3 in my work boots. Had no idea who this jerk was when he tried to force his way through a secure area. I was looking DOWN on him. Literally Dude is maybe 5'2". His publicist and the radio jock came out and IDd him.
So no preconceived notions. Dude is short, end.

5'8" flat at the worst. Not sure why he's listed at 5'7" on Google. He's clearly an inch or two above that.

5.8.5 is about right. I was in an elevator with Lenny and his assistants last year in Beverly Hills. He is about an inch shorter than I am. Very nice guy. He looked at me and said "Hey what's up..."

Google "Lenny Kravitz and justin bieber palladium 2016" and look at the first image. If he is really 5'8.5, bieber is minimum 5'7.5 because he isn't even a whole inch taller than justin and looks to have a slight shoeware advantage.
Either downgrade him to 5'8" or upgrade justin to a full 5'7.5. I would think the latter since Lenny generally looks above 5'8 consistently, and justin almost always looks to be taller than 5'7.25

We can assume Lenny's in boots with the kind of outfit he has on and since he's almost always in heeled boots. Even the most generous listing, this 5'8.5" is not possible.

Rob can you can actor too and mention Precious, The Hunger Games and The Butler. The .5 is questionable. Does he really give the illusion of 5'10" Rob at least without the hair Rob? He looks short range in The Butler too me. 5'8" flat I think would be nearer.

Just saw Hunger Games Catching Fire last night and saw a full body shot Jennifer Lawrence and Lenny Kravitz facing each other. Jennifer Lawrence is 5'7", but maybe closer to 5'8" give the soles of her footwear, while Kravitz was clearly wearing 2"+ boots. This made me think he was 5'6".

I met lenny back in the '90s, and last saw him backstage in San Diego 10 years ago. I am 5ft 8 and a half. The guy is the sam size in Converse as my then girlfriend. She was 5ft 6 and a quarter. He is a short guy, but if you think about certan sneakers and tennis shoes ad 1 1/2 to 2 inches to your hight, and boots and dress shoes and a good 3 to 4 1/2 inches. Yes, Lenny is short.

There's a brief moment in Hunger Games where a full body shot of kravitz and jennifer lawrence shows Lenny as a bit taller, which he looked in the couple of other shots they were together.

No way is he taller than 5"7, I guess 5"6. I met him after a concert and All I could talk about after was how tiny he was. Its not just his height, he has a very small frame. He wears boots often that have visible heels and I am sure hidden lifts as well. Which may be why he looks taller in photos . His build is very similar to that of Prince.
similar to to Prince's.

I always thought he was supposed to be 5-11. Funny that he's the same height as Sly Stallone but more people think he's 5-10 or 5-11 than Sly. Poor Sly. LOL, Maybe Sly could learn a thing or two from Lenny, who does more conservative heightening!

I passed him in a Manchester street, way back in the 90s. Im 5,8" so i would guess about his height to be 5,6". I think his publicist has been filling up blogs with 5,8" / 5,10" cause the guy defiantly wears lifts & has an issue with his height.

I think he's probably a just little bit shorter than MJ though. Like 168-170 cm. But they are defnitely in the same height range. MJ,Quincy Jones,Lenny Kravitz and George Lucas.

I saw this guyand what I saw was a really ripped guy with average height, unlike most guys his height he's really thin and has great posture, so myself standing at 5'10" stand eye to ye with him but only because he has an insanely straight back and no extra weight to hold him down with extremely tight legs to keep perfect lengthy form. In conclusion his height would be 174 cms maybe 175.

There's a funny article in the new Spin magazine where the journalist says he had from numerous people that Lenny was only 5-7 (he was mentioning this because, at 6-0, he at least had one advantage over Lenny, since Lenny had looks and money and women, etc.) But when he meets Lenny for the interview, Lenny shows up in boots and appears taller than him. How could this be? It doesn't look like there are lifts in his boots, he thinks to himself. The journalist admits that his own low self-esteem makes him always feel shorter around people with a big presence, even though he's towering over them. Good little article.

I'm 5-7 (170 cm), took a photo and talked a little bit with him on the backstage of a concert he gave in Chile. He was in sandals, I was with regular shoes. He's at most 5-8.5 (174 cm)

I'm thinking that Kravitz is another height Zelig, though not in the heavyweight category like Pitt and Jagger and DMX. I've only seen him in concert, but friends of mine have reported sightings that range between 5-7 and 5-11. I'm sure they didn't take into account footwear and the slope of the sidewalk, etc. Of course, these sighting were mostly by women (and no offense, but women usually aren't the greatest at gaging height.) I said "usually," so nobody jumps on that quote, and of course there are exceptions, etc...

Yeah, Arthur was as moody and complicated and tortured as they come. On a good night, he was undoubtedly the most powerful stage presence I've ever witnessed. I regret never getting a photo with him. Mad props, glenn.

Ok, Glenn. Can you tell us about his health too? I think he's not been a very healthy man, unfortunately. Too bad! Great musician and I bet a very cool fellow, isn't he?

A question for Editor Rob (or Glenn): Why do some names disappear from this site, like Ben Harper and the late, great Arthur Lee?

A question for Editor Rob (or Glenn): Why do some names disappear from this site, like Ben Harper and the late, great Arthur Lee?
Editor Rob I ran a "cull" recently of the bottom 150 visited pages, something I done last year to replace with more well known names. The cull includes an exclusion clause whereby the page id is not reassigned if there is a photo associated with the id.
unfortunately, I hadn't changed the photo field in a lot of pages yet, so the 150 deletions included about 40 pages that had photos associated. I've no idea when or if I'll have time to fix it.

I posted on the Mick Jagger forum that there are vids of Jagger and Kravitz standing next to each other looking the same height. Not sure about their footwear, though. I think it was a super-casual setting, so I don't think Lenny was wearing his heels. Of course, Jagger's true height still seems a bit of a mystery.

This may have to keep getting posted, but for adult males (both black and white) between the ages of 20 and 39, the average height is exactly 5'10". 5'9" is the average height taking into account all adults (including elderly) and all ethnicities.

Yeah, I've been pushing for 5'7.5"-5'8" for a while now. Years ago articles/sightings described in the 5'7" range. He never looks taller than that to me. You have to look thru his costumes which make him look taller.
Glad to see you bringing him under 5'9", Rob.

I go with 5'8" he is VERY thin and must only scrape a buck forty five in weight his hair definitely increases his PERCEIVED height though.

Besides Nick Lachey. That proves that he is at most 1.75...My question is : He was wearing boots or lift that day ? May be he is shorter... and second question. He is slouching a little , that may be prove that Lachey is short than 1,75 ?
I believe that in that time he forgot his boots.
In this photo , you see that he almost reach the 5.11 ft with boots besides 5.11 Lionel Ritchie.

Actually, Mick looks quite taller than Lenny in the pic Lmeister posted. If Mick is 5'10", you have to get Lenny down to 5'8". My guess is 5'7.5", but untill we get total proof, I would say 5'8" or at at least 5'8.5"... the guy's is not 5'9".

Lenny is under 5'9" (and that is obvious with his footwear), but I doubt any shorter than 5'7". I too think 5'8" would be a good compromise. He is an obviously under average guy.

I glimpsed a picture of this guy beside a fan when he was wearing trainers...hmm, I'm starting to think this guy not only has big heels, but something else inside his boots! Under 5ft 9 seems more plausible!

5' 9,5" ??? Are you kidding? The guy is never in less than 3 inch heels, and still manages to just look average height compared to others! Lenny is the man, but is undeniably short, 5' 8" max.
