There's a picture of her and Scarlett Johanson on
Click Here (front page on 15th, something about their upcoming(?) movie, and Natalie is clearly taller than 5ft3.75 Scarlett. Either, she has bigger heels (which I doubt) or Scarlett is shorter, say 5ft2.5, or Natalie is taller, but I clearly doubt it.
By the way, that picture is so great. Natalie is adorable, and Glenn, you look real good aswell (fun, but good :) )
Anita said on 15/Feb/08
new pictures just surfaced of her with Scarlett Johansson at one of their Boylen Girls movie premires. Scarlett is in flat shoes and Natalie is in 3 inch heels. Natalie is 1 inch taller than Scarlett. So if Scarlett is 5'4, and Natalie is 5'5 and i inch taller in her in her 3 inch heels, she must be 5'2 without them! Case Solved! I'll try to find pics!

She's 5'0"/5'1"...saw her in real life
Jane doe said on 22/Jan/08
I didn't think she was 5'3" because she always looked an awfull lot shorter then her ex Gael Garcia Bernal but standing next to 5'8" Glen she doesn't look to short. Also Glen shouldn't lean so much so we can get a better idea of how tall she is.
Anonymous said on 10/Jan/08
lol 5'5 is average height for a girl
just so everyone gets a clue
5'3 isn't that much closer to average height than 5'2

"Thats a load of crap. Idiot. I saw her recently, and just because she's quite thin it doesn't make her anorexic."
Well considering I said she LOOKS anorexic, and I never said she is anorexic....get a clue and learn how to read.
And yes, she is anorexic looking in real life. I doubt you saw her. She came to UC Berkeley...where did you supposedly see her anyway,you liar.
laina said on 3/Dec/07
i'm 5'2 and when i went to get my drivers license, they put me down as 16cms or 5'3. it's because i was wearing thicker sneakers and they rounded up. i suspect the saem happened with portman - she's so petite, 5'2 MAX

Ditto, I go to UC Berkeley as well...Natalie is short and very, very thin in real life. It's amazing how the camera really does add 10 pounds. She looks anorexic in real life, and she's probably 5'1" or so.
T said on 27/Oct/07
I saw her at my university, UC BERKELEY about a month ago when she went to our campus. She's EXTREMELY thin and very short in real life. I'd say she's 5'2" WITH heels, so maybe 5' and less than 100 pounds. She's very, very skinny in real life.

To I'm what I am: "Natalie is not as short as she said (5'); she joked about her height." and you know that because...she told you?
I'm what I am said on 17/Jul/07
Yes, vandal, she's always looked tiny because her shoulders are small, her body is tiny and quite thin. But don't confuse between tiny and short. I know, the short people couldn't be too big and the tiny couldn't be too tall. However, Natalie is not as short as she said (5'); she joked about her height. Shakira's said that she's 4'11; I believe, she's honest, despite the fact that she's looked medium. Shakira's always looked muscular, strong and healthy; her body is a bit thick,( anyway, she is not fat at all and has a wonderful curve) so generally, she's looked average.
I agree with sb here; Natalie's 5'2. But 5'3 sounds "not fishy" to me.
vandal said on 25/Jun/07
5-3 is medium range. She's never looked medium

What does "short BUT beautiful" mean? Does that imply that an ugly tall girl is "tall BUT ugly"? I've met plenty of girls who are "tall AND ugly". Natalie is "short AND beautiful"
bam said on 17/Jun/07
i'm with anonomous. In the interest of accuracy, she should be downgraded
to 5'2. She is petite. I have a 5'3 friend, and she looks average in height
not short like portman regularly does. Glenn who saw her believes her listing is fishy.

Irshgrl500 said on 9/May/07
Hey Glenn, I love your photos! I know you're a solid 5'8" and you look like you've leaned in quite a bit for the photo with Nat. If she's got heels on, say 2", added to your "leaned" pose, I'd say she's 5'2" - 5'3". Anonymous submitted photos on 5/5/07 of Nat with 5'4" Bjork, both in heels. Bjork's heels appear to be lower than Nat's heels. Again, from these photos she appears to be 5'2"-5'3".
Andrea said on 7/May/07
Bjork's heels are clearly lower than Natalie's...and Nat still looks a bit smaller than her. I think 5'3 is right on the money.

I saw her today. There was a delay in the standard customer check in, so they moved us up into the first class check in so we wouldn't miss our flight to New York, and after about five minutes I realized that Natalie (plus three other people) was checking in right in front of me. She had these big boots on, and even then she was only 5'2.5", 5'3", so I figure that would make her around 5'1". You really should downgrade her Rob, there's no way that she's 5'3".

She's 5'2 or shorter. I met her last year in NY and she was at least 2 inches shorter than me and I'm almost 5'4. She's very skinny though, which could make her look longer in pictures, but in person, she's very tiny.

Anonymous said on 28/Jan/07
She seems shorter than 5'3. 5'3 girls to me look nearly average in height and she looks short. 5'1 maybe 5'2. In the picture she looks 5'3 at the most if Glenn and her shoes have similar heels. If she does have any type of heel, she is shorter. No way does she look 5'5 as Alex said. If she has on the boots Anthony shows, then probably 5'1.
Anthony said on 21/Jan/07
Agreed Andy.

I've heard of 5'1-5'2 sightings of her though. I can see maybe 5'2 at the shortest but no less than that. 5'3 is possible too.
Glenn said on 15/Jan/07
Im bending alot.cant rember or notice footwear.5-3 is possible,I wouldve guessed shorter.
Alex said on 14/Jan/07
Glenn, was she wearing big heels in that picture with you? Because she looks around 5'5 with you. She could be the 5'3 she claims, 5'2 at the shortest though. What did she look to you?
Anthony said on 10/Dec/06
I've become a big Nat fan lately, and I went to one of her fanstie and was thumbing through photo galleries, and went to a section of photos of her at a basketball game, which is where you said you met her. I naturally stumbled across that picture as well as the one above.

She's 5'3. Her and Scarlett are about the same height.

actually Hmmm, she would be around 17 or 18 and most girls I know don't grow after 16 or 14. It just seems very obvious that Natalie is 5'3" max. Why else would she call herself short?
Ally said on 19/Oct/06
All I know is that all of the paparazzi pics of her show her with her jeans "cut off" at the bottom. Sure sign of a shorty. I put her at 5', tops.
Hmmm said on 30/Sep/06
Hilz, Keira's comment was made in 2004 but the movie was released in 1999. So when Natalie made the movie, she was around 16 or 17.
hilz said on 10/Sep/06
The Keira Knightley quote from 2004 is not regarding Natalie's height when she was around 16 or 17 because Natalie was born in 1981. That would make her 23 at the time of Keira mentioning her at 5'3". There is no way that Natalie is taller than 5'3" or shorter than 5'1". I just can't see it.
Katie said on 4/Sep/06
Anonymous, are you the same person as the other one? In those pics with Dustin Hoffman, she looked 5'2, maybe 5'1. Her height seems really confusing.
Anonymous said on 4/Sep/06
About Keira Knightly's quote, I saw her (and a really good long look) in LA at the IVy and she is about 5'4" MAX. That explains why she would say Portman is 5'3". My best friend went to college with Natalie and Natalie herself would joke about being only 5 feet tall.

She might be under 5'3". Here she is with Dustin Hoffman, both in tennis shoes. Dustin is one step in front of her, so she probably comes up to his eyebrow. If Hoffman is 5'5"/5'5.5", Portman would be 5'2"/5'2.5".

I think Portman is between 5"3' and 5"4'. Just look at her in her latest movies "Garden State" and "Closer", she is just a little bit taller than Zac Barrf's(sp?) or
Jude Law's shoulder.
Nicole said on 28/Jul/06
I don't get how some of you say that she "could NEVER" be 5'3. I mean I'm 5'3 and that's pretty short. When I've seen Natalie on the screen and all, I think she might be maybe an inch taller than me.. and recall people, inches aren't that big...

Jake is one those rare guys that downplays his height.he looks 6-1,6-2 when I see him.he is 6-1.some idiots on this site suggested 5-9.go figure.

i was watching the insider the other and they showed pictures of portman walking next to jake gyllenhaal on the beach, and he was like a foot taller(give or take). but i was really surprised to see her listed as this height, she looks like she's 5'1-5'2 tops. but i guess tv plays a trick on you. maybe gyllenhaal is taller?
trueheight said on 23/Jul/06
she's 5'3-5'4. I've seen all her films. she can't be shorter than 5'3, i mean look at that DeVito pic, she's almost a head taller. She's got low body fat unlike normal gals which makes her sometimes appear to have the body of a pre-pubescent boy

Omg.. there is no way she is 5'3"! I would 5'1 at the max or shorter. I'm 5'0" and believe me heels can do ALOT for you and I'm very tiny built like her. But most people believe that I'm 5'4, but I'm SO not. See? And people have PROVEN in pics that she is NOT 5'3 right here on this page. Julia Roberts is around 5'7" and so is my best friend. When I have heels on and stand next to her I'm by eye level. The same as Natalie and Juila. And in a picture.. I will try to find it she was standing next to Shakira. They were both wearing flats and they were the EXACT same height!! The truth is right there!!! Please down grade her atleast to 5'1".

Just saw a rerun of snl and she's definitely 5'1. About the same height as amy pohler and about 2 inches taller than rachel dratch in heels, plus i noticed she has excellent posture - she never slouches. It seems like she knows she's short, so therefore always standing straight. Plz downgrade her.

i think 5'3" looks pretty accurate. does anyone have a picture of keira and natalie?
bella said on 30/Mar/06
I think 5'3 seems accurate. Plus, when she was 7 or 8 she made the choice of becoming a vegetarian, so not eating proteins like meat and stuff while you are growing, can definately take inches of your potential height. That is not meant as a negative comment aout vegetarians though! I think you should do what you believe in.
Jen said on 27/Mar/06
Natalie has to be more than 5'3! I read she was 5'4 and plus if you notice in Star Wars standing near hayden christensen she looks a half head shorter than him. so obviously she is not that small as people claim to think she is. i round her height off to about 5'4 -5'6! If anyone agrees let me know. Becuz think about it. Hayden is big 6'1 tall and natalie appears a half a head shorter than him so she obviously is up there in average height.
Anonymous said on 18/Mar/06
I think Natalie seems my height since I tend to look the same as her in photos with people who are similar heights as to the other actors next to her. And I'm just under 5'3" in the morning (159.5 cm), 5'2.25" (158 cm)in the evening. I have 5'3" on my license and tell people I'm 5'3" but I do realize that most of the day, I'm exactly 5'2.5". Portman doesn't seem smaller than 5'2" so I think she's 5'2.5" like I am most of the day and that 5'3" is her morning height.
trueheight said on 13/Mar/06
well, lets stick to the most incriminating pics: Garcia+Portman. I mean, Garcia couldn't even pass for 5'7 because of his dwarfish build(short arms), so its really suspect. Both in trainers as well

I first met portman in 1994 and she looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked for photo op.other years just flat out ignored me.this was just plain sick luck as Im walking to the post office not even thinking of getting celebs,when I run into her coming out of a basketball game.she said aloud to the couple of auto dealers and photogs " I,ll do it as long as no one follows me" and the rest is history.none of my peers have it,and they were shocked.

5'3'' seems right... look up Natalie and Britney Spears on Getty Images. Portman seems only 1'' shorter than Spears.
Anonymous Girl of Glitter said on 28/Feb/06
IMPORTANT NOTICE (okay, not really...)
Natalie said herself she is "Five Three" in the folling interview, and I doubt the interviewer just made up the quote, unless it's a conspiracy *looks around*. You WOULD think a driver's lisense on national telivision would convince people of her 'real' height anyway, but, eh.
"http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14931-2052147,00.html"
Oh and her exact quote, if you don't want to read the whole article: “Five three,” she says. “I think it’s exaggerated because I’m physically small, too” Which explains why sometimes she looks shorter/more petite.
She goes on to talk about heels a bit, why she usually wears them (publically) which explains why she sometimes can also look taller.
I'm sure this STILL will not end the argument, but thought I would share the tidbit anyway.
Editor Rob
nice one!
the heel quote is actually interesting:
"I actually am starting to feel I should start a revolution against heels, even though that wouldn’t be a dramatic revolution. Everyone around me says, ‘You have to wear heels.’ It’s based on some silly concept that longer legs are more beautiful"
ester said on 16/Feb/06
may be the reason why they say she's tiny is not so much that she's short as she is thin. so may be she is 5"3, which, of course is on the short side, but she's a slight girl, so of course she's gunna look tiny. i mean, i am seen as tiny too and i am the same height and build
Anonymous said on 11/Feb/06
there is a pic of her on gettysimages in front of 6'5" tim robbins and in 3-4 inch heels, she barely scrapes his shoulder! Doing the math, she is one foot shorter than him in 3-4 inch heels, and he's wearing one inch shoes, so she should be anywhere between 5'1"-5'3". I really think she's 5'2".

I see her listed at 5'3 everywhere and I've heard his driver's licence said 5'3 but it could be with shoes on. I hear her described as shorter than 5'3 by people who have met her. I'd say 5'2 for her looks about right.

She looks a lot shorter than 5'3" here!! That woman next to her looks a lot like Shannen Doherty http://www.thesuperficial.com/images/2006/02/natalie_portman1.jpg

I saw her in a picture around a group of people, and she was in flats, and she was ALOT shorter than all of them, even the girls in the group. But, height doesn't equal beauty, so...

5'4 seems more fitting, unless Brody really is smaller than 6'1 :/

I stood near Natalie Portman at the backstage entrance when she appeared in "The Seagull" in Central Park, NYC, August 2001. She was wearing sandals. I am 5'6" and I have many friends who are petite figure skaters, 4'11" to 5'3". Natalie is definitely no taller than 5'3" and she seemed smaller, around 5'1".
She projects the appearance of being taller because she is thin and has long limbs, and a dancer's posture and grace.

I think Natalie is 5'1", but looks taller because she's slender.
She looks about 2 inches shorter
here than George Lucas (5'6"ish with shoes). It looks like she has about 3 inch
heels on making her about 5'1".

well in the morning i'm 1.61 and in the night i'm 1.59, so yes u can shrink that much
ester said on 21/Dec/05
i also think that there is a good chance that natalie could be 1.62. but you're forgetting that we're always taller in the morning, so may be she truly is 5"3 (though i'm willing to add on a couple of cm) but as the day passes she shrinks to 5"2, which is why people may find it so hard to believe that she is as tall as 5"3
ester said on 21/Dec/05
u can have long legs even if you're short, it's all about proportion, and tall doesn't necessarily mean long legs, i mean, look at mischa barton, she's 5"8 and her legs aren't long at all
Anonymous said on 15/Dec/05
i have long legs and i'm 5'2.5" exactly. you can have long legs and be short.
ann said on 13/Dec/05
5-3 is tiny for a woman if your bones are slight, which hers are and you are slim, which she is.
her legs are longer than a super short (less than 5-3) girl would have, i think.
Bleemo said on 30/Nov/05
Yeah she is shorter then this, everyone describes her as tiny and 5'3 isn't tiny for a woman. I would definately agree on 5'-5'1 and maybe even less.

check out these pics of Natalie and Oprah in 2000:

The height between Natalie and Oprah does look slightly even in that pic, but Oprah has probably lost an inch since her 5'7" days. Some people say she is actually 5'6" or even 5'5". So let's say Oprah is 5'5.5".
Oprah's height of 5'5.5" with 3" heels = 5'8.5" (-1" for slouching) = 5'7.5"
Natalie's height of 5'3" with 4" heels = 5'7".
Thus resulting in a .5" difference in eye level and shoulder level.
I say Natalie's 5'3".

i think that the pics of her make her look taller....but when you see her in person, she looks taller. probably about 5ft 4in.

sighting: saw natalie portman today (3/20), during the protest, on madison around 23rd st. she was walking uptown (against the flow of the march). really pretty (even though she didn’t have a spot of makeup on - lucky bitch) and was so incredibly tiny (must’ve been around 5ft) she was walking with some other girl, and only a few people recognized her as she passed.

waiting tables at a cafe in harvard square i saw her a few times and she is noticably small person.
Beth said on 26/Sep/05
Natalie is anywhere from 5'2" to 5'3" tall. I don't think that she's any taller than that.
heightgirl said on 17/Sep/05
In an article in Vogue UK, she is described as 'teeny tiny', at 5'2.

i think that pic of her next to rosie perez proves that natalie is under 5'3". Probably 5'2".
Hk said on 3/Jul/05
Do keep in mind that even if they look like standard boots, they most likely could have lifts in them. Hilary Duff has talked about having three inch lifts inside her boots and trainers so she could be taller than her 5'1" height.
Ricardo said on 23/Jun/05
I don't think her saying she is short tells us anything about her height. Their are girls i know who are 5'6" and 5'9" and they think they are short and want to be to be taller. But i think she is about 5'3" she does look about the average height of a woman.
leonari said on 22/Jun/05
Please!! Beaner!!! I think Rob pitched her down right...Jennifer Aniston is maybe 5'5" but Natalie Portman??? Come on Personally I think she is 5'3.5 max. She is an israeli girl and many many girls are around that height in Israel, I know that from personal experience so a guy like BEANER who says she is 5'5" is on the worng path for sure!!!
CelebHeights Editor said on 22/Jun/05
Age 17 she did say "I'm short" in an interview...hmm.
Natasha said on 18/May/05
She is 5' 3". In July 2004 Natalie was 23, not 16/17!
Libby said on 17/May/05
Natalie is definitely petite . . . I'd say she is around 5'2" tall. There is no way she's over 5'4"!
Anonymous said on 4/May/05
Since it's common that in the movies, they give celebs the height they are in heels or shoes, I don't believe Natalie is almost 5'5". She would look taller and honestly, she always looks tiny. Almost every place has her at 5'3" and she's that height max. Even next to Gael Garcia Bernal, if you say he's 169 and she's at the least 3 inches shorter, than she's 161. The girl's 5'3".

Natalie is 5ft2-3 MAX.!!Lucas is 168cm !!!
Smoke said on 30/Apr/05
Haha yeah but look at her with Clive Owen (6'2"), does she honestly look like a 5'4"-5'5" girl next to him? He would be bare a head taller than her if this was the case, also look at the height, there is a solid 11 inches of difference there. Anonymous you will have to do a better job to prove your point, I still think there's no way she's 5'5", or even 5'4" for that matter, she looks closer to 5'2" to me than to 5'4"-5'5".
Smoke said on 29/Apr/05
If Keira (whom I doubt is a full 5'7") has Natalie at 5'3", and Natalie was indeed 16/17 years old at the time, then there is little chance of her growing into a 5'4" frame. 90% of girls simply don't grow into their late teens, it's a fact of science, I doubt Natalie is one of the rare few females to grow after the age of 16/17, and not only grow, but to add a full inch to her 5'3" frame. She has never looked more than 5'3", but I also haven't seen the Oprah interview. Again, her driver's license says 5'3", Keira Knightley says 5'3", and her photos with people like Clive Owen say 5'2"-5'3". :)
Ricardo said on 28/Apr/05
Her driver's license said 5'3" ? I heard somewhere that the driver's license height is usually incorrect by 1 inch... guess that would make her 5'2"
@anonymous said on 28/Apr/05
explain her height?? heels!! and alot of them. Watch the movie "Closer". She is teeny tiny compared to julia roberts and jude law.....even with her stripper heels on. I'd wager 5' 3 as max.
Anonymous said on 23/Apr/05
When she stood next to Rob Lowe she was 3 inches shorter than him but she was on 3 inches heels and if he is 5'11 she is atleast 5'5
HK said on 2/Apr/05
Yeah, I've talked to people who've met her and they said she's about 5'1" without the heels.
