I am legit 166cm under very strict measurement and she looks tall compared to me. Easily 170cm for Gong Li imho.

Not a great photo but she still looks great, definitely one of the most beautiful actresses of all time. Raise the Red Lantern & Farewell My Concubine are powerful, beautiful films but, God, I felt pretty depressed after both!

Thanks. You'd not have thought this in Raise the Red Lantern though. Seemed smaller in that film. 5'6.5 is pretty tall for a woman in China I think.

5'6" is an extraordinary height for Chinese women of Gong Li's generation. She is 167cm-tall barefoot MAX. BTW: height difference between Chinese and Caucasian male population may be still 5cm or 2", but Chinese women on average are about the same as white chicks...

even with 4 inch heels that would place her at 5'10.5. she looks that tall evebn whi;lst leaning (at least to me) in this picture she looks at least 6 foot if she had her back standing up straight, so if u give her 4 inch heels thatt woul place her at 5'8 giving glenn th benefit of the doubt on his height that seems odd.

dmeyer - don't you think she might have high heels on? Ummm..three or four inch heels would do the job. Glenn - did you forget to wear your heels that day?

Editor Rob I wouldn't blame you...I guess its hard not to half the time, even I've been doing that lately aswell, some leaning, poor posture, but some of these are on purpose for future.

Thanks eh Glenn. Miami Vice is awesome (Heat's much better even BTW ... also by Michael Mann -- similar movies in some ways) ... I haven't seen Hannibal, though. I can't watch that **** (gross stuff). lol

Viper, it sounds like a case of asian fever.
Gong Li has got a lot of fans, even the RHCP wrote a song named after her.
Throughout her career she has had to deal with people focussing on her looks rather than her acting talent. It’s bizarre how people get carried away with her looks because she’s not even that hot.

Watch Raise the red Lantern and Houzhe. That's where she really shines.
Does she also look young in real life (she's almost 42)?

Satan you fool. A chick an inch shorter than you in heels is gonna be TALLER than you (Unless you're a transvestite male/weirdo with a thing for heels yourself). Glenn pretty much always looks 5'8" in his pics, but obviously sometimes may not be standing at his tallest (maybe 1-2cm) less, which is the same for ALL of us. And believe it or not, many celebs DO wear lifts/big shoes!

It seems funny to me how in every pic with Glenn, we have an explanation as to why the celebrity in question appears taller in comparison with Glenn than their listed height (aka: boots, high heels, slope in the ground). Unless celebrities are all lift wearing freaks, then there's only one explanation for this......

I personally think that she isn't any less than 170cm.
By the way Glenn... How is Gong Li in real life?

Ziyi Zhang fanbased site lists her at 5'5". I think Gong Li is taller just because of her look from Memoirs of a Geisha. Gong Li is definitely hotter than Ziyi Zhang. At 40 years old, I dont think Ziyi Zhang would look as good. Gong Li is a breathtaking natural beauty!

She is one gorgeous aunty!!! She is already 40 years old and she still looks so FINE!! Oh my god, my role model.. haha
In Geisha, she was a bit taller than Michelle Yeoh and Zhang ZiYi, so she can be almost or about 5'7"..

Rob I think she might be slightly taller than 169. Take a look at this photo beside 5'7 Aishwarya Rai and Laetitia Casta. She clearly looks taller and her heels are average sized ones.
