He was seen at an airport by someone I know. She says maybe 5'7" or 5'8" without shoes or the bouffant...that's the breaks. Hey, Pacino, Cruise, Newman amd many others lacked physical stature and they all seemed to do all right. I know what you're saying now...Swayze is no Pacino, Cruise or Paul Newman and you'd be right on the money, honey!

this is really an "adam brody" type of case...they are on screen most of the time with teeny tiny women and it makes them look huge. Patrick looked well over 6 feet in Dirty Dancing...but that was next to jennifer grey, who is what? 5'2 - 3?

6-0 or 6-1 is average height? The only place on earth where that is average is the Netherlands.

He's not very tall :), but a lot of american actors aren't, so it doesnt matter :), I wonder why..6'0 or 6'1 is an average height

Hes consistently looked 5-10 in films or taller. Either he wears lifts, or something very strange is going on.

Maybe Swayze is one of those 5'8 , 5'9ers that always wanted to be 6'0 ... So grows tall hair and wears the biggest footwear ? ... Still I would say the shortest he looked in was Ghost and still looked an easy 5'10 ! ... Im taking Dmeyer's word for it though ! ... He thought 5'10 is pushing it ! ... I also think Frank2 saw him under 5'10 ? ...

When by himself, standing tall, he can look a minimum of 5-10+. It is only when he gets next to others that his true height is revealed as 5-10. He must be well proportioned (exceptions to the cranium possibly).

Im taking your word for it Dmeyer ! ... btw Rob , I remember reading that the Bio was offical ! ... mmm ... Maybe Swayze was told by fans and others that he looks 6'0 ? ... I never really tried to push the issuse of him being A barefoot 6'0 , but I think he can Give that Impression on film ! ... He does have big hair , and big footwear ... and If you guys watch Dirty Dancing he has heels on his footwear giving up to 2 inches ! ... Maybe he is just those guys who think there bigger then what they really are ? ... Well , this is not a fact yet because I did not see it ! ... Something that is a fact though is that I read an Article with Marky Mark saying 5'7.5 ! ... The only Question I have is if it was a BS Article ?????????

Rob , although I have always had the impression that he could look a 6 footer ... Do you think its too much for him to be saying ? ... Could he be more a strong 5'10er ... like 5'10.75 and just took his height in boots or something ? ... Well , If he only looks 5'10 in photos then I guess it would be closer to his true height !

Editor Rob he is shorter than busey in 1990, although 2 inch I ain't sure, he might have been 179, I mean at the promo for guys and dolls last year he looks this height with the brit actress claire sweeny, hmm

Wow . Rob , I was message board searching the other day and I over-read that Swayze said in a Bio that he was pretty much " Bang On 6 Feet " ! ... I don't know how true that is because I did not see it myself ... but it would be cool if you look into it to see if its true !!!

Editor Rob actually, there was some free dvd in the paper last week, I had it on while working, but SHOCKINGLY Swayze is walking with michael york in one scene and looks a bit taller...in a subsequent shot it showed type of footwear...

like i said and it seems strange, he looks shorter at times when he is standing next to Alison Doody in King Solomon's Mines. Maybe she is wearing high heels, I don't see her feet area, and I think it is strange that she appears taller than him by a little bit because I thought in movies (especially action movies like this when the Swayzor is a hero)they will make the man look at least as tall as his woman friend.

Jesus, anyone would think you had found out that he was a deviant or something. I'm sure the women can cope with him not being 6ft, lol. He's clearly diminished in your eyes though, which strikes me as pretty shallow.

swayze stood right next to me at a tavern in Az. on st. patty's day a few years back. I was awe struck, but not by his presence but for his lack of it. Sorry gal's. He would be "lucky" to be 5'8" i am a 6'1" female and I notice short men, he was far shorter than his famous date(wife?)whom was not wearing heels. Sorry, to all other gal fans it was a shocker and a bummer.

Here's one I don't understand. This still from Roadhouse shows Swayze a good 1" above Kelly Lynch, even though she's wearing heels. They're both supposedly the same at 5'10". Maybe it's time to upgrade Patrick?

In Point Break there is some beach scenes where Patrick is standing next to Lori(5'6'') Petty and he looks 2-3 inches taller. Both of them are barefoot during the scenes. Patrick more than 4 inches shorter than Keanu.

Frank. I'll say it again - what about the Outsiders pic with Emilio? Emilio has heeled boots which would likely match Patrick's, so how could there be a 6 inch height difference if Patrick is 5'8 or 5'9. Almost every other pic posted has not been a full shot showing ground and shoes. That ones does. If Swayze is 5'8, Emilio is 5'2. If you can explain that pic, please do.

i was watching steel dawn tonight . now thats one ( and maybe a only ) film where i think anyone would get the impression that he can come off as being short.even though i always had the impression of him being a 6'footer for some dumb reason. now just say if steel dawn was the first film of his that i ever saw , i would have guessed him short, like 5'7. even though he is atleast 5'9-5'10.

If you see Swayze in Road House he is about equal in height to Terry Funk, who is a documented 6'1 (funker has no need to embelish his height). So either Swayze is pack'n some heavy duty s*** kickers or he's pulling more than 5'10.

No Frank, I don't believe I know Swayze's height. I'm really not sure of his height, but I don't think it too improbable that he's the height you think he is. Pics don't tend to support that, but pics can be unreliable. Estevez must be shorter than most think though if Swayze is really 5'9.

Forget lifts. Explain why Swayze is so short next to Driver. If he's at least 5'10" he should be her height if she's wearing flat shoes. Matt Damon is short and look how tall he is next to Driver compared to Swayze. And it's clear that Driver is wearing heels in that shot with Damon. Lets just for argument's sake say that Damon is 5'10" which is what he claims to be. That still doesn't explain why Swayze is so short next to Driver. My god! What does it take to sink in?

This isn't Damon's thread, but I don't know what makes you sooooo confident he's wearing lifts in that pic, Frank2. I mean if that guy was wearing lifts in that pic with Driver, then he must have some dwarf legs and that does not make any sense.
I'm sorry, I know some do wear them, but this whole lifts and magic shoes thing is getting carried away.

lol the bricks thing is funny, because I've actually never seen anything like that before in a photo. They could've at least made an attempt to conceal the bricks, too.
However, even without the bricks, he still always looks like a 5'10 guy in his movies. Lowest I'd give him is 5'9.5, 177cm.

Yes, 5'9" is on the mark. He was barely an inch taller than Chris Farley when he did that chippendales skit on SNL in the eighties. What made him look taller was the extra 6 inches he got from his eighties hair cut.

Even without the bricks, he looks around 6 inches taller than Emilio, which would make him around 5'11-6'0, depending on whether Emilio is 5'5 or 5'6. Now I don't think Swayze is 6'0 and would be surprised if he's 5'11, but it's tough to see how he could be shorter than 5'10 from that pic.

Anyone remember the chippendale gig on Saturday Night Live Swayze did with Chris Farley (I think that's his name). Farley in his death report listed him as 5'8 and swayze did appear quite a bit taller. Swayze is definately tough to pin down. I'd Say he is 5'10 at the least or so it seems.

Well, I've read somewhere that he was 6'. Just check one of the scenes in "Point Break" where he walks along side Keanu (who's 6'1") and he's not that much shorter than Keanu.

I saw him in roadhouse and yeah maybe he is less than the height i put him at. 5'10 seems right.

Anonymous, I can't imagine Tom Cruise growing any more after the Outsiders. He was 20/21 when it was filmed. It's possible that Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe did, as I believe both were 17 during shooting.

One thing to consider about "the outsiders" is the fact that Swayze was the only member of the cast beyond late teens, hence the only one fully grown. Lowe, Dillion and even Cruise may have grown another inch after the filming back in 1982 or whatever.

Okay, you guys, I think you are confusing tall hair with height! Remember, in the eighties, where Patrick's hair, alone, must have added 4 inches to his height. What makes me suspect Swayze is in the 5'8-9" range, at most, was an old Saturday night live skit where he played a Chippendale dancer, competing with Chris Farley (usually listed at 5'8"). I remember Swayze was barely taller, but has a big head, and had huge hair, so he looked a lot taller. As far as the Outsiders, some of those guys might have still been growing. Swayze was easily the oldest of the bunch. I think Patrick, like many Hollywood Stars, might have something inside those shoes most of the time...

From a newsgroup: "met Patrick and his wife Lisa twice in Kentucky at the Straight Egyptian Event! He is SHORT!! I am about 5' 7 1/2" and I swear I was taller than him!"

i'd say he's a bit taller than 5'10. If you look at an old movie "Red dawn" he was with charlie sheen. Charlie Sheen is at least 5'9" and Swayze was taller by 2 inches i would say so i'd say he's 5'll to 6 feet.

Okay, I was watching Ghost last night. Y'know, maybe I'm being fooled by the way the camera angles but Patrick seemed taller than 5'10" in many instances in that film. I always thought Patrick was a six footer, to be honest with you. Maybe because of this?: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00008L3TK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg.
Anyhow, I also recant the comments I made about Demi Moore being taller. She looks 5'4"-ish in that movie. Didn't realize she was that petite.
