Scores of women would come up to him and tell him they wouldn't mind if he slipped a shrimp on to their barbie. Often they'd tell Paul he didn't look as tall in real life, and this disconcerted him a bit. "I'd always thought I was an average kind of height before - one hundred and seventy-five centimetres. Now I feel like a jockey."
-- Paul Hogan : a biography (Carolyn James, 1987)

I thought he would be like 5.9 and a half. Is this 5.8 peak height?

Editor RobHe might have been a bit taller like 174 range, but I couldn't imagine 5ft 9.5 peak.

This height surprises me. I'm 5'8" and he appeared to be at least three inches taller than me when I saw him during a personal appearance in the 90s. Perhaps he wore lifts.

In Crocodile Dundee he was wearing the kind of boots that would have added at least 1.5" to his height. If you factor in the hat, whadda got. Percieved height increase. Didn't come across as a tall guy, but didn't come across as a short guy either.

@ berta - Yes, I admit Paul looked rather ripped in his 'Crocodile Dundee' films, but you were a little ripped off if you thought the guy was tall!
We all make that mistake as kids though!
I'm putting 5ft7.75 for Mr Hogan.

He looks like 5'9 (175 cm) in the Crocodile Dundee-movies, but he is probably little shorter (5'8) now.

Looks fairly short even with the boots, in the crocodile movies this height seems about right.

I met him some years ago when I interviewed him, and we took some pics together. I am 5'3 1/2 and when we met I was wearing like 2 inch heels which then put me at 5'5 1/2 and Paul Hogan was only a few inches taller than me, he was wearing sneakers. He looked around 5'7-5'8. He's a lot shorter than you would think. I'll post the pics if I can remember.

I'm surprised he is this short. This blows my mind. I would have pegged him for 5'10.5 or thereabouts. TV's a helluva drug.

He is 5'8".
With Michael Caton who is about 6'0"...

[Editor Rob: I would agree, his cowboy boots could give him more. Actually,
in an edition of 1994 'The record' newspaper he was descirbed "at 5-foot-8"]
