Michael J Fox's Height
5ft 4 (162.6 cm)
Canadian actor best known for roles in movies like the Back to the Future trilogy, Mars Attacks!, The Frighteners and Doc Hollywood. To TV audiences he is well known for Spin City and Family Ties. On CNN in 2002 he mentioned his weight "I'm five-foot-five, 130 pounds".
Girls think you're so cute when you're short. They always want to put me in their pocket. Great, as long as it's their breast pocket.
I'm just a short guy. That's the way it goes. Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Willie Shoemaker, and I - we're all short guys. It's just a fact of life.

I'm 5 foot, 6½ inches. [Michael's] 5-5. I know he's a little shorter than I am. They [Family Ties production] always have me like slouch over the counter, or sit across the room, or sitting down all the time....I'm not sure if they mean to, but it happens all the time.
-- Tina Yothers
My brother is the giant in the family, and he's 5-foot-9. I don't mind being short, the only time it has hurt me was when I wanted to play professional hockey. But, when I was 13, I realised that I would never be tall enough to be a good hockey player.
- 1983
I'm 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall. Don't forget the one-half inch.
Really I'm five-foot-four, I've dealt with bullies my whole life.
Michael, Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan
First off — let’s just get this one out of the way — it’s a short joke. At a fraction of an inch under five-foot-five, much of my interaction with the world and the people in it has required that I tilt my head backward and direct my gaze upward. However, this isn’t a manifesto about the hardships of the vertically challenged. Frankly, my height or lack thereof never bothered me much. Although there’s no doubt that it’s contributed to a certain mental toughness. I’ve made the most of the head start one gains from being underestimated.
I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh about 115 pounds. Even though I am 22, a lot of producers think anyone who looks this young has to play someone young.

Hi Rob. You referred to Michael j fox, from the eighties, as "a big 5ft 4 fella",what would that be compared to someone who is just 5feet4. Does the bigger 5feet4 person just look taller?

Hi Rob, How did Michael J Fox end up growing only to 5ft 4in,He never grew beyond that height, When I was a teenager in the late 1990's,I remember reading about him in the radio times, He had problems at 16 being only 5ft 4in.

With strict measurement with relaxed posture and pressing all the way down to the head with zero height frauding, he was a strong 163cm in his prime. But by today's standards online, he really can claim 166cm to 167cm and people will still believe him. Depends on which measuring standard is involved here imo. But I am sure he looked great in BTTF to a lot of girls despite his height.

Great actor funny made short cool good guy too.
Obviously short but usually pulled of a 5 .5 look in shoes.
Due to age and ailment I believe he is an inch maybe bit more shorter.
FYI in btf he wore nikes have thick sole that gave him slight advantage.

He was n pretty flat footwear in Back to the Future and still didn't look just 5'4. He was at least an inch taller than Claudia Wells and wasn't towered by Glover and still taller than Lea. that fraction under 5'5 claim could have been his height early in the day. I don't don't buy a flat 5'4 around 1985 for him.

He's claimed a fraction under 5'5" and 5'4.5". I believe that he was 5'4.5" in the 80's. Today at 56 years of age and having had Parkinson's since 1991, I'm sure he's lost some height (maybe as much as 1").

Having A brother who is 5.9 isn't exactlt a giant.Try having a brother who is at least 6 foot,then you are the short one at 5.8
"in the family" being the key phrase, since Michael was obviously kidding with that quote. And what you say doesn't make any sense because there's less basically the same height difference between you and your brother(if not less!) than that of the Foxes.

That's his morning height. Weak 5'4" confirmed, and who knows if shoe measurement, might be even shorter.

I was more surprised to learn that Christopher Lloyd was 1.85 metres, I mean I just never registered his height when watching the Back to the Future trilogy. But yeah, 5'4 definitely seems right, and he could get away with that half inch if he truly wanted to. Anyway people with short statuses don't tend to lose much height, even in old age. It's the taller folk who lose height more frequently. I frequently claimed 6'0 at 5'11.5, to give an example. I'm a little over 6ft tall, depending on how many hours of sleep I get to be honest.

There have never been any follow up studies for those who received pituitary hormones (either hHG, hPG or LH agonist) during the 70s and ended up with myoclonic jerks. There appeares to be some releif with testosterone therapy as I have experienced.

Bcause of Michael's height being much lower than average he may be required to wear shoe lifts in certain movie roles. If he looked taller in one movie perhaps it's because he was wearing shoe lifts. I read below from a commenter that he looked 5'9 in Back to the Future. Perhaps he looked tall in that movie but 5'9? No. He would f had to look as tall as the female costar in the movie with her heels on and this is where Hllywood would make the adjustment for the movie. If he is shorter than a girl in heels he would be required to wear shoe lifts to make him appear at least an inch taller than her. In the movie Class of 1984 he looked very short. I mean a head shorter than all the male costars. I believe Michael J Fox was 5'0 even while doing Class of 1984. The top of Michaels head came to Perry King's shoulders and Perry is listed as 6' tall.I will say Michal was 5' tall now days he might be 4'11. Trust me actors look bigger and taller on TV.

Editor Rob I am sure there will be some 5ft 4 men who do in fact try to claim 5ft 6 on here...but I understand in a way what you mean.
It might be to do with even that extra 3cm can help in some cases make the physical look/proportion appear taller.

Fox deserves high marks for never trying to pretend that he is taller than he is. Of course, 5 foot 4 is pretty much impossible to disguise. If he had been, say, 5 foot 7 he might have been tempted to up it a little, and if he had been 5 foot 9 we would have been hearing him claim 5 foot 11.

I'm not sure how tall he is now but I remember him saying his favourite actor was James Cagney and they met before Cagney passed (Fox was in his 20s then) and Fox was so thrilled to note he was the same height as Cagney (he said 5'4" and change). Cagney was also well into his 80s then.

Was between 5'4" and 5'5" in his younger and healthier days. Today, in his 50's and having suffered from Parkinson's for over 20 years, he's lost height.
Agree 100%. Watched 'The Secret of My Success' just last week and I would have pegged him close to 5'5 against 5'7.5/5'8 Helen Slater.

I saw him in a picture with Brian Grant who's 6'9". He was slightly over a foot taller than him but if that's true I'd expect him to be about 5'6 or 5'7 or Brian Grant was around 6'7 or 6'6.

I was watching Doc Holiwood and he must be shorter than 5ft 4 when compared to Woody Harrelson. Check out any picture with Woody Harrelson. He's a head taller. 5ft 2 is more like it.

I agree Hola. He might have snuck a little over 5'4 out of bed when younger, but 5'4 was I think his walk around height. Now I'd expect it to be closer to 5'3.

Requesting a peak list here since he's now active again with his new show. Does not look above 5'3 in it, cant blame him, parkinsons give him a lot of involuntary head movements so perfect posture is arguably impossible, as for his peak - he never seemed insecure about his height, so he slouched as much as anyone and would probably often stand shorter than he was. As listed in prime, 5'3 or below now.

Fox might be in the habit of slouching, is part of his image. While 5'4 is indeed short for a man. It's nowhere short enough to give off the impression that he often does. I think he knows that his height can be used as an acting strength and plays the part. Definately a great and funny actor.

c.1993, I was a club doorman. A man asked: "Can we just slip in ?" I replied: "What do you mean 'we' ? " He then pointed downward, to a point between us. I looked down a bit, and then continued to look farther down. Finally, I saw: Standing between us, unseen throughout our conversation, was Michael J Fox. I'm 6'2'. He was more than a big head & neck shorter. I'd be surprised if he was more than 5'3".

"Most of the male actors in that series were 6'+ (Richard Kind,Michael Boatman,Barry Bostwick) so not easy to do an accurate height comparison. The top of Michael's head came up to the shoulder of 6'4 Barry Bostwick which is ~ 1 foot. Michael has claimed 5'5 or just under....I always thought he looked the height he's listed."
How about when he's in a scene with Heather Locklear? Apparently she's about the same size. The only problem might be she would be wearing high heels, but if you could figure how much difference that makes (or she happens to wear fairly flat shoes), you could see how they compare. :)
Oh, by the way, I'm not saying that it's off here or anything. It's just an idea in case more comparisons are needed.

I lived in the same town and ran into Michael any number of times and we had great conversations more than once. I am about 5'9'' now, and towered over him. As a tall woman, I have had numerous encounters with short men who suffer from 'short guy syndrome', in other words nasty and sometimes hostile. Never EVER did I experience that from him. EVER. He was charming, intelligent and delightful and I had a complete crush on him and yes, I knew his wife and his son. He is a testament to the phrase, 'nice things come in small packages'. Wonderful man.

Look at the Back To Future trilogy - He was taller than Elisabeth Shue who is listed 5'3 on here. He was also a couple of inches taller than Julie Warner in Doc Holiday listed 5'2 here. He's claimed 5'4,5'4.5 and even 5'5!. Lilelyhood is he is (or was) between 5'4 and 5'5. He looks similar build to Daniel Radcliffe to me.

Is it possible Fox has never even been a full 5'4? There's a picture where he and Scorsese are roughly the same height, and Marty's 5'3 tops. Not even Estevez, Radcliffe, and David Spade give the impression of being as petit as Fox is.

Yes nicky, the height is without shoes. Michael is likely a shade below 5'4 now - perhaps 5'3.75. In his prime he was likely 5'4 - 5'4.5. I'd say he reached the latter measurement out of bed, but no taller.

My question is in most of mike j fox movies the female leads are at least his height. Not shorter. I am Obsessed With Height so I take notice. Mike may be taller than some of the children that appear in his movies. But he isn't usually much taller than the female leads. I love my five foot four brother anyway. But his mikes height taken with no shoes on. Is five four his true height during back to the future,my favorite movie.

He's 47 Josh. Not sure I ever saw him called 5'3 in the 80s Dylan, but he was pretty much always called 5'4, so I guess that was the height his publicist put out in his early career.

When he first starred in "Back To The Future" he was quoted as being 5'3" in a film review I read. I don't think he was ever ove 5'4"

If Fox is claiming 5'4.5 you can bet he's no taller than that. He does 5'4 a lot of the time anyway. He could passed for 5'5 back in the day but on tv you can always look a bit taller.

This has been posted before. Spielberg is listed at 5'7.5 on here. Fox looks between 3 and 4 inches shorter....5'4 reasonable guess, not taller though, unless Spielberg hits 5'8 first thing, which substantiates his MJF 5'4.5 claim.

TJ - I do think when short guys are measured, or measure themselves, they make every mm count (I know, because I'm very short myself) - that is they stand at their very tallest and stiffest, whereas an average height male or female (or taller) would tend to measure with very loose posture - that in itself could make a difference of a half inch. As I posted below, I watched 'The Secret of My Success' again recently and Fox had a couple of inches on one of the actors, and also did look less than 3 inches taller than 5'7.5 listed Helen Slater. I think 'out of bed', standing at his very tallest, a smidge under 5'5 - hence his claim. In reality 5'4.

Not taken as snotty at all dude :-) That's the first time you have ever said Fox looks slightly under 5'5 though. In the past you have said about 5'4, 5'4 tops and in another thread I think possibly 5'3. Parker, you could be right about Heather, although Rob has her at 5'4.75 on here, so if he's right your estimates would be pretty generous. I forgot the 1993 quote (even though it's above) so maybe MJF was still meaning 5'4.5, when he said "a fraction under 5'5". I'm inclined to agree that if he was ever that height, it was an out of bed measurement. The Daltrey pic is intriguing though. Having been up all day and therefore probably at his lowest height of 5'7ish, Glenn really does make Daltry look 5'5.5 tops. You'd expect Fox to look taller against Daltrey if his own height claims are accurate. That said, if wrong, I do think he's more likely to just be mistaken rather than deliberately misleading. He has far more important physical considerations.

He said in 1993:
"I'm 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall. Don't forget the one-half inch"
Just thought I'd post the quote from down the page before it dissapears off it. He's said he's a fraction under 5'5 recently, and 5'4 and half 15 years ago. He describes himself as 5'5 in the book 'O lucky Man'. As I said in my previous post, these are probably 'out of bed' heights, so he is not lying.
5'4 at his lowest I think, but these days his posture makes him look less.

In the above pic he looks at least 3 inches shorter than Stiller, and approximately a foot shorter than Derek Jeter - listed 6'3 on some sites.

TJ - He's probably claiming his 'out of bed height'which wouldn't be wrong. People claim different heights. Shaun Wright Phillips (An English soccer player) quoted in an interview 2 weeks ago he was 5'5 3/4inch. Now people that visit this site know how difficult it is to quote to quarter inches as your height changes by more than that over the day. Shaun Wright Phillips is listed at 5'5 and 5'6 on different sites, my guess he's nearer 5'5 than 5'6 midday.
Heather Locklear may be 5'53/4 inch straight out of bed, or even 5'6 with military posture...but she is about or just over female average height so probably couldn't care less about her height.
There is a girl that I work with who tells me she is 5'7 - If correct she's the tallest 5'7 I've seen. She's probaly been measured a smidge under 5'8 late afternoon and quotes 5'7 for ease.
If you look at Glenn's pic with Roger Daltrey, Glenn looks a solid 2 inches taller. Now look at these pics of Daltry with MJF

I see a 2 or 3 inch difference, putting Michael in the 5'3/5'4 range...no taller,but I do think he's lost some posture. He looked close to 5'5 to me in 'The Secret of My Success'
I think a solid 5'4 in his twenties a reasonable estimate.

In his latest book, MJF claims to be "a fraction under 5'5". So I guess he's saying 5'4.75. I just don't see that. He was a good inch under Heather Locklear when both barefoot in Spin City, and she claims 5'5 for herself. Plus, Glenn has met him a few times and said 5'4 tops seems most likely. Question for you Glenn. When saying that, was it on the basis of you walking around at 5'8? ie you saw a good four inch difference between the two of you? With recent evidence suggesting your walk around height might be closer to 5'7, does that mean 5'4 would be a little high for MJF? And what of his claim of 5'4.75? That would make him more like 2.5 inches shorter than your walk around height, which seems unrealistic if you were seeing him as four inches shorter. I'm starting to think the dude had a rogue, innacurate measurement in the early 90s and has just stuck with that since. After all, his official height throughout the 80s was 5'4.

I dig the comments from Beau and 5'10" Wife. They sum up my experience pretty well. Reading about all this height-obsession could give a short dude a complex if it wasn't for occasional comments like these getting us back to reality.
I've always found that smart, confident women who are interested in happiness tend to look for things other than height first. There's no doubt about that in my mind.
Insecure women, on the other hand? I've found height can be a much bigger deal for them. You know, clingy girls with eating disorders? Yeah. Height can be a BIG deal for them at first. Still, I've found they can be won over too. (Unfortunately!) ;)
Anyways, back on track: I'm a straight dude, and even *I* think MJF is sexy as hell. Hell, I'd probably do 'im myself. Love that guy! Can we start talking about something other than his sex appeal now?

I watched 'The Secret of My Success' over the weekend. You know I do think Michael could have been close to his 5'5 claim back then. There was another male actor in the movie looked a good 2 inches shorter (not that I know how tall the other actor was, but Danny Devito aside, there are not many adult males shorter than 5'2/5'3 without a growth deficiency). He also looked less than 3 inches shorter than Helen Slater in a full length walking scene,listed here at 5'7.5.

I agree with the shorter women comments 6'3 husband made. Of course people of any height could be attractive, but in my experience the majority of men prefer women in the 5-2" - 5'7" range...
It's funny my wife is 5'4" and has gotten many compliments about having hot legs.. she never understands why, she's all "I have short legs.. I don't get it".. I tell her the reason is because it's a bit of a myth that men like long amazon legs.

In response to 5'10 wife; my beautiful wife is 5'2. I find shorter women much, much more attractive. I think most men do to be honest.
Arrogance is one of the most unattractive qualities in a human being by the way.

I just want to say that the comment from 5'10'' wife was fantastic (and funny). According to my army records, I'm a man who was 175cm tall at 21. I'm now 35 and I'm sure it hasn't changed. 175cm is approx 5'9''. I went out with a girl who was 185cm and I adored her. I thought she was fantastic and we loved each other to bits for many years. HONESTLY... who cares?? We certainly didn't and that's what mattered to us.

Lucas has a very valid point. I myself have dated "short guys" in the past. I haven't dated shorter than me because i am only about 5'3" with flat shoes on. Hard to find guys shorter than that! lol The point is that I had the biggest crush on Michael J Fox when I was a kid. I still kind of do. He is a good example of someone who has managed to find fortune and fame thanks to his youthful looks and "shortness". He wouldn't be as charismatic if was 6 feet tall.

I'm 5'6 without shoes and I can honestly say that it has made no difference at all in my relationships with women. However, I feel there are two types of short guys, those who embrace it and those who despise it. Girls can tell right off the bat which of those two you decide to be and that is the real kicker. If you 5'6 and 20 yrs old chances are your going to have a sense of humor...and if you don't then at least God did! And who doesn't like to be in the front of every group photo? :) And what I've seen is that if you ARE a confident short guy then your all the more confident and thus, even more attractive. Even though I'm the shortest of my 4 brothers, (3 of them younger) they still look up to me. To summarize; if you don't let anyone look down on your height (no pun intended) ...especially yourself, then girls won't either

I'm 5'10" and my husband of 5 years is 5'6". People tell me I'm gorgeous all the time, and I have no lack of self confidence, so I could probably have any man I want. I want HIM. Confident men have no issue with people being taller than they are, and that is SEXY. My husband loves my long legs and doesn't even mind when I wear 3" heels. Sort of like Usher and his long-time g/f who is 3 inches taller than he is, or Tom Cruise who's liked taller women when he was normal and now that he's crazy.

height shouldn't be a huge factor - but traditionally, in human civilization females have preferred men who are at least taller than they are - b/c we are naturally a sexually dimorphic species.
Guys just have to be realistic; if you are 5'6, then it's not likely that you will score w/ a 5'8 girl - there are of course exceptions. Same goes for looks - don't be surprised or overly hurt if you fail in pursuing a girl "outside" of your league. I'm lucky to be average-ish at 5'9 in that I can and have dated women ranging from 5'1 to almost 6ft. b/c girls that tall also have their dating options limited - they may really really like a 5'7 guy but their height can be a dealbreaker for a guy (I know lots of guys like this who can score, but their pride prevents them from accepting a taller love interest)
Just like looks, shortness can be a disadvantage if you don't have enough. Guys who are exeptionally handsome and tallish can get away w/ being jerks, being introverts/unsociable, and even downright creepy - girls will just count that as making them more "intriguing". Shorter guys and plain-looking guys will have to compensate in personality, financial prospects and power.

Michael J Fox is NOT AMERICAN, idiots, he is a Canadian, as is Fairuza Balk. They are both from Vancouver, BC, despite US reporters saying otherwise; granted, they both live in the Excited States now (the poor souls). Get your gossip right.

"At 5'4 and below your going to struggle even if you have the face and build of Brad Pitt or David Beckham....unless your famous."
Well I dunno about that... I'm 5'5" and have dated quite a few knockout women (I do in fact look like Brad Pitt tho). Have dated girls every single inch between 4'10" to 5'11", and most girls I date want me to settle down after a month or two. I don't do the relationship thing.
The real issue is most short guys give off beta traits around taller people - don't kid yourself, a 'Napolean Complex' is beta as well, just the other end of the stick. Even if you're dating a very short woman if she sees you cowering or supplicating to taller people, she's going emotionally feel the taller people are superior to you, and lose attraction for you.
If you can work out that psychological issue then trust me, the world of women is far more accessible. That goes for anyone, whether you're ugly, out of shape, etc.

i do realize that more and more lady actors are outnumbering taller actors nowadays. except some few like clint eastwood, john travolta, will smith, etc. to mention few super heroes who does blockbuster movies like tom cruise, syl stallone, john statham they're only average in height. but they are all great though.

The majority of short guys I know (including me) have proportionately short legs to upper body. For example both my son and brother are approx 5 inches taller than me, at least 4 inches of that height is in their legs. Michael appears to me to have very proportionate upper and lower body - I wouldn't be suprised if he took a 29" inseam, giving an illusion he is taller than he when there is no reference height to compare against.

I have read his biog as well, I think he just rounded up half and inch though. To be fair though he didn't look that short compared to six footer Doc Brown in the Back to the Future series.

No idea why he would do that Parker, but he's never been 5'5. Maybe he had an out of bed 5'4.5 measurement once and rounds up. Frankly, I don't believe he's ever been more than 5'4 even out of bed though and now I think he's nearer 5'3.5.

I sometimes wonder whether he does (or did)scrape 5'5 straight out of bed with military posture. Just read an excerpt from his biography 'O Lucky Man' and he quotes his height at 5'5 - why would he do that?

Now you see the pain of being short. Tom Cruise is no more than (171cm) 5ft7.25 which is 3 inch shorter than average. I am asian and 5ft4 which also 3 inches shorter than average asian in Hong Kong/China/Japan where average height for male is 5f7 (170cm). So I guess for him is like feeling being 5ft1 in Asia which is 1 inch shorter than average female height.

I had the biggest crush on him back in the 80's. He was the ultimate teen hunk. He is still a pretty good actor and a smart guy. Height has nothing to do with brains and talent, or even good looks. I'd date him any time and I am a 5'6'' tall lady.

i actually have to say that his height was part of what made me attracted to him, lol. i always felt that his height set him apart from all of the other actors. then again i don't really like guys that are way taller than me, and fox is pretty much exactly my height.

Totally agree with you Leonari - 5'7 I believe is the 'magic' height, as you fall below that romantic relationships become more difficult to attain. At 5'4 and below your going to struggle even if you have the face and build of Brad Pitt or David Beckham....unless your famous.

Iwonder: If you are "Michael J.Fox" and have the fame and fortune it could be true. But let's get real here. Once and for all.
Every guy who is short or even below average like 5'6" will have problems on the dating scene at some point only because he is short. And most women do not find short guys attractive. Of course there are always exceptions...

It's hard to say (actually impossible to say) that "but for" the other guy being taller and the other guy being shorter another choice would have been made. Maybe the ugly tall guy had a better personality? More funny? Maybe the good looking shorter guy was a douchebag...the bottom line is I think sometimes when we have this picture in our mind of how the world is (i.e. height is all that matters) we tend to see evidence of our vision even where in reality it isn't.

Yes Scott, but you prove the point really. Most short guys WILL be shorter than girls in heels, unless the girl is very short. You're 5'9 which is average. It might not be an ideal height for a lot of women, but it won't attract the negativity that being short will.

Most girls I've talked to and a couple I've dated say that height is always a factor, and adds to overall attractiveness, but the only time its a deal breaker is if the guy is shorter than the girl in heels. I'm 5"9 and I really have no trouble getting girls. Think of it this way - most girls would much rather date someone who looks like Brad Pitt and is 5"9, than a man who is fat and hideous but is 6"2.

Guys, women DO experience the same thing. Just in reverse though. Don't you think women who are 5'10"-6'4" feel insecure, when they are taller most men? Of course tall women want tall men, but how do you think those tall women feel when they get rejected by a guy who is 5'9" and won't date her because SHE is 6'0"??

If you are a male under 5' ALL the confidence in the world isn't going to get you dates. I'm not quite 5'3 and although I've been married, I've come to realise height is the single biggest factor in sexual attraction for women. In my opinion, 5'4 and below is where the discrimination really starts to kick in (in terms of romantic relationships). Seeing the woman of your dreams reject you and start dating a guy over 6' hurts far more than any comments people make about your height, I think pc is just telling it how it is.What goes around comes around though. The 6' looker will reject the woman once she's in her fifties, then she herself gets to feel what its like to be a short man. The internet is full of them (still looking hopelessly for another 6' guy in his 30's!)

I think you meant Leo and Me. I've read that he was only around 4'9 when he got that part, so he certainly grew a lot from 15 to late teens. The Spin City episode in question was from 2000 Rob. It's very clear from the vid, that she has a good inch on him.

I watched MJF biography in the UK recently. He said he got the part of Mikey in 'Mikey and me', a Canadian production when he was 15 because he looked 10. They showed some clips and he really did look 10. Must have had a late puberty because he was well under 5 foot at 15. Definately 5'4 in his 20's.........maybe slightly shorter now.

No thoughts on those stills Rob? They are probably the best pics I've seen for judging his height because both are barefoot.

Editor Rob I just saw that this morning and he appears shorter indeed. He's lost height these days (or at least appears to stand in a manner which suggests he's not over 5ft 4) but that was quite a few years ago that episode, so...

I have solid proof that MJF is not 5'4.5. Rob, you have Heather Locklear at 5'4.75, but these stills I took from Spin City, Click Here with both barefoot, show her to be a comfortable inch taller than him. If she's the 5'4.75 that you predict, he's more like 5'3.75 wouldn't you say? If she's 5'5, maybe he sneaks 5'4. One thing is for sure though, there is not 0.25 inches between them, so either Heather needs an upgrade or Michael needs a downgrade. Stills can be misleading, but I can assure you that the whole scene on video shows that height difference. Here's an extra still to confirm Heather was barefoot too Click Here

he is 5'4 flat or 163cm today.
in the past he could look 164-165cm though i admit that.

Thats Bo something... , he`s 5`0" tall, he`s listed as 5`6" on some website, but, clearly he ain`t that. Also Scott Caan who is 5`5" seems to be gaining a little weight, on short people, when your fat, it clearly shows more than tall people, Scott would look a lot better with 20 lbs, shed...

Jon, I said Glover "isn't exactly a giant". I didn't say he's short. At around 5'10, my description was accurate. He's a little above average and still towered MJF.

You don't consider Crispin Glover's around 5'10 or more height on the tall side?Do you have to be atleast 6feet to be considered tall?

He never looked tall in BTTF, even with the low car :-) He is dwarfed by Crispin Glover, who is not exactly a giant.

Wow actually I'm pretty sure the reason he looked taller in that movie is coz of the car in that film was very low to the ground.But even his girlfriend in the movie was taller than him and so was everybody else.Man is he ever starting to look old now!

In Back to the Future I'M NOT KIDDING he looked at least 5'9'. I couldn't believe he was only 5'4' when he was 24. He looks tall on the TV

Everybody I ever talk to seem to think that Michael J Fox is 5'6 I find that kinda funny how everybody usually thinks everybody on t.v. is taller than they are.There are also alot of people who think that Tom Cruise is only 5'2 though coz people are giving him so much crap about his height right, people are seriously delusional.
