Ringo Starr's Height
5ft 6 (167.6 cm)
Peak height was 5ft 7 (170.2 cm)
British musician from The Beatles. Even a 1964 newspaper joked when someone questioned if he was 5ft 4 and wore lifts "there seems to be no reliable figure on Ringo's height, despite the efforts of statisticians and entomologists everywhere". In response to being asked "Any other Beatles myths you'd care to dispel", he said "Yes, that I'm only 5-foot-7."

Rob, how tall would you guess Billy Preston was?

He was apparently 59 years old here, barely a year before his death, so some height loss is expected
Here are some younger pics:

Maybe 5'9 in 2005 and strong 5'10 peak?

Here’s an interesting little snippet: Ringo’s son, Zak Starkey, played drums with The Who in a star-studded charity concert the Who performed, the proceeds of which went to young cancer victims.
Ringo taught his son well!

I've never seen a chubby Ringo in my entire life, JD, and you know what the tabloids are like for picking up on things like that!
@ Ian Vector - I agree a page for Harry Nilsson would be a great idea. I remember him well. I had no idea as to his height though, so I'm glad you do!
Peak - 5ft7; Today - 5ft6. 🥁😄

When/where did he imply that it was a myth that he was only 5'7? That'd be the very tallest I'd think he would've peaked at. I get a 5'6 flat impression from him now but if he dipped into the 5'5's or peaked at 5'7, seems plausible. I wouldn't be surprised. Has Ringo ever been overweight? He always looks trim to me, and that tends to make you look a little taller than you are, which makes me wonder.

There should really be a page on this site for Harry Nilsson. He was quite popular in the late 60's and early 70's. Anyways, I've heard sources say he was 6' 1", 6' 1.5", and 6' 2". As for Ringo, I'd say he was no taller than 5' 6" at his peak.

Ringo always gave me the impression of being closer to 5'7 than 5'6 at his peak, though I'm not quite sure he was solidly in 5'7 territory.

You might argue that, in his early twenties, Ringo was the most overpaid man on Earth, as he had only modest talent and was in fact a substitute in the Beatles for another man. But a charming and modest guy, who bore his good fortune with grace, good humour and a humble intelligence. You never hear any bad stories about Ringo. Even the vicious bully John Lennon seems to have liked him.
What I have heard is that Ringo got much more fan mail than the other boys. Maybe his talent was that he was personally likable.

Peak height - 5ft 6 and half
Current 2019-2020 Height - Weak 5ft 6.
Despite he has lost some height as he will become 80s grandpa next summer 2020, hasn't lost that much height as Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Bill Clinton etc.... I do know some grandpa doesnt loose that much height unlike other grandpa......
PS. The way he dressed up in a pic creates an illusion of being bit taller than as he is!!!!

Hey, I was chatting about Ringo on George's page earlier and how 'Beatley' he sounded!
Well, I have just been well and truly amazed, for it is Ringo who sings the BEAUTIFUL lullaby 'Good Night' at the end of the Beatles' White Album! Even my cats were purring! And to think - it's taken me all these years to find that out! I know it's been played at the end of at least one film, probably far more.

Wishing Beatles drummer Ringo a great 79th. His son, Zak Starkey, followed in Dad's footsteps, becoming a drummer as well. I have a DVD of Who members Townshend and Daltrey, of a charity concert they performed in aid of children with cancer. There were reams of guest stars, and Zak was just one of them. They all took part in the playing of the Who's songs, and very effective it was too. At the end, many of the children with cancer came onto the stage, without hair, which denoted that they were undergoing treatment. Well, I hope they all recovered.
Ringo was also a very successful actor.
Have a wonderful birthday, Ringo! XX 🎁

I think his peak height was probably about 5ft 6.5in. He might even have been nearer 5ft 6in. His wife Barbara Bach is still listed as 5ft 7in but I doubt she's that height now. In recent photos they both look roughly the same height so I think they're both approximately 5ft 6in. Generally speaking, women do tend to lose more height than men as they age.

I met Ringo after a concert a few years ago and I'm only 5'-8", and he was about two inches shorter than me. We were both wearing sneakers. I'd say he is 5'-6", tops. You can't believe press releases. In 1964 they had Eric Burdon at 5'-7". If you've ever seen him in person he is maybe 5"-4".

The 3 front Beatles, 3 inches at least taller than Ringo. But some early photos show him close in height to John and George. Probably cause they both had bad posture at times. Maybe Ringo was 5' 7" at his peak.

Glenn swore up and down that Ringo was only 5'5"...when I challenged him on that estimate, he admitted that most people didn't believe him, but he subsequently held true to his conviction that Starr was actually a inch shorter than his current listed height upon encountering him. I think Richard Starkey might've been higher than Glenn's low-sounding estimate, but all of this really destroys the prevalent misconception that Glenn would intentionally upgrade all celebs in order to make himself seem taller.

Dear Christian. "John, Paul and George wanted to be 5'11". Why would they? They had all the world at their disposal, and they wanted another half-inch to their height? And I'd like to see a reference to the Paul's statement. The British passport for JL isn't strong enough? Take a look at the Live Peace in Toronto snap. Eric Clapton and John Lennon. Both barefooted. Same height. How tall is EC?

John, Paul and George wanted to be 5'11 but they were rounding it up. Paul has stated 5.10.5 for him and John. Although I think they were closer to 5.10. George was not taller, in fact he and John looked the same height sometimes. I would say 178 cm för Paul, 177-178 cm for John and George and 170 cm for Ringo in their youth.

I already did.
You can guess all you want. But the facts are: John, Paul and George 5'11", Ringo 5'8".
If you're a Beatles fan, you should have seen a page of John's passport which he used to enter Germany in 1960 at the age of 19. 5'11" it is. And it's a document. Ed Sullivan's pics/videos show them in uniforms, including shoes. All three are of the same height.
Now look at the Abbey Road album sleeve/cover. The tallest: George (shoes); second tallest: John (keds); followed by Paul (barefooted), and finally Ringo, who's just an inch or so shorter than Paul due to his high-heeled sneakers, of course. Everything is consistent with the 1964 Beatles' Story album.
And BTW, have you ever seen PM live?

John, Paul and George: 5'11" or 180 cm. This height is very well documented in many reliable sources. Ringo: The Beatles' Story, an American compilation album from 1964 mentions same 5'11" for John, Paul and George and 5'8" for Ringo. I was quite close to him recently (he performed in Vancouver) and I think 5'8" is more or less correct. I'm only 5'5", and he's definitely not 5'6", as some posts suggest. And he was not wearing high heel shoes, just a pair of sneakers. I stick to 5'8", at least in his youth.

if he can keep 5'6 range constantly at this age, its possible that he was at least 169 or 170 in his prime.

Seb below also says he thought Ringo could look 2-3 inches shorter than Sellers in the film. I didn't see three inches, but at times it could definitely look a 2-2.5 diff. His posture at times wasn't great though which made him look shorter.

Rob, I think Ringo might have been the same height as big G! 5'6.75 might be nearer. I dunno, do see the whole Magic Christian film if you can, I just really got more a 5 ft 6 range impression from him in it. Click Here A photo there with Sellers and Cleese. He could often look that short in it. My gut is 169cm. I see Tr27 also thinks that below. I guess like John Mills you could argue high 5'6 range peak. I'd lean more on 5'6.5-5'6.75 than the full 5'7.

Rob can you add a photo? Have you noticed that this guy doesn't seem to age?
I just noticed that he's an astounding 75 now!! Click Here No wrinkles whatsoever!! He still looks 58 like he has done since the 1990s! Even like Cliff Richard who was previously ageless has aged a lot now in 70s but Ringo still looks young enough to be the son of a guy in his 70s! I wonder what his trick is, going to bed with Barbara Bach every night I'd imagine!

Editor Rob he's aged well, hair colour helps a lot, as does the demands of Barbara probably...

Some new data has come to light. The Beatles trouser measurements from 'Help' from D. Millings who were the fabs tailor. In inces: John W32 L30 3/4, Paul W31 1/2 L31, George W31 L30 and Ringo, W29 1/2 L29. So probably pretty small guys...

Ringo was definitely short because he got ragged on about it by Beatle-hostile reporters. People would (rudely) ask him how tall he was and he'd say, four foot six, or something equally ridiculous. He probably wanted to be tall, because he got himself cast in a spaghetti western as a villain, and looked perfectly ridiculous with his Liverpool accent and small body. The least talented Beatle, but also the most stable and personally likable which, come to think of it, are very useful talents to have if you're a working class boy from Liverpool who suddenly becomes a pop culture god.

All the Beatles' height were exaggerated in the '60s when they were superstars. Plus they wore 2-inch Cuban heels. Ringo was advertised as 5'8" back in the day. I guess he was 5'6" in his peak.

Just watched Ringo in the Magic Christian and he looks 2-3 inches shorter than Sellers. So once again even then, about 5'5", unless Sellers is wearing lifts. There is also as scene with Richard Attenborough who seems even shorter that Ringo.

I also heard somewhere that John was measured to be 5'9.5", although I don't remember where. But it seems pretty believable, I've always thought John, Paul, and George looked in the 5'9"/5'10" range just by their figures. So that would put Ringo at 5'6" for sure.

Next to Dhani Harrison (5'6 1/2'') Ringo is just a bit taller. So maybe 5'7'' is most accurate.

There is not way John and George was only 5.8. I think John was about 5.10 and George was 5.9.5. Their frame just doesn't suggest 5.8. You have no idea how short 5.8 is.
5'8 is extremely short now? LOL. While I do agree they were over 5'8, seeing someone's frame on TV isn't always a good indicator of height.

Why does everybody think George was shorter than paul and john.
He wore converse sneekers all the time after 1967 ( only half inch heels)
He was definitely their height. call it 5-11 or 5-10.
Ringo definitely 5-6 ish.

Ringo's wife Barbara Bach is 5'6". If you look at their wedding photos from 1981 they are about the same height however she is wearing heels and it he is wearing dress shoes. So I would say he has to at least 5'7" or 5'8". I have heard that in a 1963 Beatles' bio he was listed as 5'8" and 134 pounds. Of course now that he's 70 years old he's probably closer to 5'6" now. In the end it doesn't really matter how tall he is, what matters is that he's a rock-n-roll icon and has lived an extraordinary life! As MrsRStarkey said Good Things Come in Small Packages!!!

All the Beatles books/magazines concerning Ringo's height states 5'8". Max Weinberg's book "The Big Beat" has an interview with Ringo where the man himself lists himself as 5'7". That's the one I'll go with.

If there's only 3 inches from your eyes to the top of your head Tim, you have a very small head :-) And snoopy, Ringo was never 5'8. He has said himself that they gave his height as 5'8 in the 60s but that he was in fact only really 5'6 1/2. Now I would expect he is 5'6 maximum.

Not only shorter but noticably smaller frame and head than the other Beatles. At only an inch shorter than 5-9ish George Harrison, he wouldn't stick out like a soar thumb. 5'5"-5'6' + 'techniques' is a good guess.

Most of me and my friends give our height in feet and inches. Metres and centimetres are becoming more used but most people still say feet and inches (or I do anyway) lol. Most sources I go say Ringo was listed as 5'8 but I always thought he seemed shorter than that even in the 60's. I've noticed he's always been the butt of height jokes within the Beatles but 5'8 isn't really that small. I'd say 5'6 is the safest guess.

I must have read the same article as Chris, which listed Ringo as 5'8" and the others as 5'11". In the sixties though, no male pop star ever seemed to be listed as under 5'8" and there were some very short ones around. Apart from Ringo there was also Eric Burdon listed as 5'8" and amazingly Keith Hopwood of Hermans Hermits who seemed tiny was always listed as 5'9".

They're hard to pin down, but most people do agree on Lennon being 5'10 and I as well as Glenn think Paul was about 5'11 at his peak. There's a great pic of John with 6'2-6'3 Peter Boyle in which he looks 5'10 in comparison.

Re. Beatles, I always thought Lennon was a little taller than Macca. Seems not. Actually, Macca's brother Mike is over 6', I believe. He was in The Scaffold as Mike McGear.

I never realized Ringo was my height. Alawys pictured 5'8 or so, but, of course, always has on big heels.

Ringo has been on record as saying that his official 5'8 height of the 60s was false. He says that he was actually 5'6.5. If going to the bother of debunking the official height, it would be weird to replace it with another false height, so I guess he was 5'6.5 in the 60s and maybe a little shorter now.

5'6 for his peak and 5'5 now looks to be right for Ringo.
