Rob, do you know the average height for males and females in both UK and US as of recently?

Editor Rob the real average is between 5ft 9 and 10.
Studies show that, but studies don't include the immigration that is undocumented.

RDJ is definetely between 5"8 or 5"9. The reason I'm saying this is because I met him back in 2002 at an NYC pub and we were all hanging out. My friends and I just happen to walk into the same bar he was in. I'm a female and 5 "9" ,my true height. I had on boots that had a two inch heel but I was taller than him but not by much. He was wearing sneakers but they were normal sneakers, not lifts, you know, flat bottoms like Nikes. BTW, even though he was still dealing with a few demons back than, he was one of the most nicest and awesome (not just celeb) guy I had ever met. He is definetely taller than 5"7".

looking back from previous comments its safe to say he is most likely around the 171-172 mark barefoot but with lifts 5 ft 8.. he does need a downgrade.
I measured myself today im a good 5 ft 7, my friend is 5 ft 8. looking at roberts leg span of him and his wife on the beach it seems he looks a 5 ft 7..

Rob, who do you think is taller... Robert Downey Jr. or Mark Ruffalo? Or do you believe they are the same height?

Editor Rob mark's the guy with worse posture, downey's the guy with decent posture (by virtue of his elevators), they got to be pretty close barefoot though

Well prison shoes at best and he looks 5'8 to 5'9 , under 5'7 is epic fail .
shoes+low camera angle, i'm not saying under 168 evening, and that still means around 170 in the morning

no matter what he is still going to be in the 5'7 range easy if he would have stood barefoot next to it .
And what if he was in shoes?
He looks 2in under macdowell on few photos
He is no more than 170

"It depends on my mood, really. I'm five nine, and some days I only feel five nine. But if I'm feeling tall, I say six feet!"
To me it's clear he claims 5'9
And i expected you to left out that part of quote where he says i'm 5'9

@the shredder
Jude Law claims 5'9 and has 2in on RDJ
No way jude law will downgrade himself
Everybod here thinks rdj is worst lift wearer(except me)
And to fit your estimate for rdj you said jude is 5'10 or 5'11
So 2in over what he claims, that is ridiculous

He doesn't look full 5'9 on mugshot
Angle isn' great
Looking him with malcolm mcdowell no way 173, he looks 170 max
So he wasn't barefoot on mugshot
I think mugshot isn't great to guess height
I go with 168
I looked at some photos and mcdowell isn't lift wearer

There's an interview on him on Craig Ferguson and proportionally he looks the same height as Tom Cruise. 172cm I think would be about right.

Excelsior: So a 47 year old male who smokes has already lost close to an inch? Tell me: Where do these ideas come from?? Do you dream this BS at night or?? You have to do real bad physical work to lose height at 47 and smoking does many things but not shrink people during middle age. Maybe you are a kid and think 47 is old. Well wake up call my friend: It's not!!

I've seen RDJ in person a few times. The one time I actually spoke to he and the Mrs. I noticed he was at eye level and was not wearing lifts like he often does. A couple of more reasons he appears taller at times is because of how his hair is styled and how he holds his chin up (especially on interviews). Another fact is that he has a bit of a sway back and therefore he has very good posture. I am 5'7"... So I would agree he is 5'7" or 5' 8". Definitely not 5'9". Mrs. Downey is around 5'2", so he towers over her. No matter his height, he is an amazing actor, person, husband and humanitarian.

Peak Height: maybe 5'8"
Today: weak 5'7"
The only thing that makes me doubt 5'6.5" is the fact that he is clearly taller than Zach Galifianakis in Due Date. In that movie he is only wearing normal dress shoes as far as I saw.
Keep in mind this guy smokes cigarettes like it's going out of style, and that may have contributed to an obvious shrinking.
Also keep in mind that the those big tennis shoes that he is seen wearing while standing next to Jude Law have more of a lift that meets the eye. The white heel on the sneaker looks about 2-2.5 inches, but he's probably standing on 4-5 inches in reality to match well to 6'0" Jude.

Downey is actually Six foot 2 and a half. His new zapatero makes Marilyn Manson type goth boots with 5 inch platforms, WITH inside hidden 2 inch lift. The reason? Anybody who calls him for wearing 5 inch platforms he can say "these only give me 5 inches, I'm virtually 5 ft 10"!

Danimal is right. I watched a few of those snl's and he is towered over by the cast. Dennis miller is listed at 5'9" and has at least three inches over RDJ. I'll tell you this, he was not over 5'8" in those years. More like 5'6". He must have went through a growth spurt.

Rob looked at the same height with gwyneth by end of avengers. But rob worn sneakers and gwyneth on her barefoot. Gwyneth is 5'10 (175) that ever mentioned in several webs. I thought sneakers that worn by him was such as lift shoes maybe.. So it's fair if we say Robert approximately 5'7 - 5' 7,5.

I always thought he was about 5'8" until I watched "The Avengers". There is a scene where we see a full body shot of him standing with Gwyneth Paltrow. In the scene, she was barefoot. He is wearing boots - and they were the EXACT same height. If she is 5'8", then RDJ has to be a hell of a lot shorter, like 5'6" or perhaps even less. He wears lifts and he admits it, so who knows how many inches he had stuffed into his shoes for that scene... Click Here

He can look taller than I initially thought in lifts and elevators. I think anything from 5'9"-5'10" is believable for Mel Gibson, so lets say Rob's 5'9.5" listing is accurate.

I'd like to see Downey standing next to someone in those 3 inch stripper heels.The exterior heel is certainly no less than 2.5", and I do believe he has lifts inside. I haven't seen Iron Man 2, but I liked the first one, even though I usually don't watch many superhero movies, so I'll watch it soon and try to look for a scene when Downey has those heels. As far as his wife, leonari, well I don't know how tall she is, but that'd be a good reference. However, I think Downey in movies and premieres prior to the mid 00'swould give a good idea about his height. Especially 80's and early 90's when I'm pretty sure he didn't where lifts. I remember one of his 80's movies where he was a bit shorter than Kiefer Sutherland.
Raskolinikov, I wasn't including his hair when I said he could pull off about 5'10". For example, if you include all of his hair, he's 5'10" in shoes even in his mugshot. But to pull off 5'10", Downey would have to measure about 5'11" in elevators, which is about what a 5'10" man would measure in normal shoes. If Jude Law is really 5'11" then Downey pulled off looking a solid height next to him.
Here's a good video of Law and Downey, you see them together from about 1:55 on. Click Here You can see how Law can lose posture, but even so, he doesn't look to be standing much more than an inch taller than Downey that night. This shows how big Downey's elevators were. Click Here
You cansee Downey with Jude Law at about 0:34, which shows Jude is still clearly taller. Click Here You can see how Downey's Stallone posture and elevator boots compared to Jude's posture can make them look within a half inch in height. Click Here
I do think Downey is looking close to 5'10" in these videos if Law's listing is correct. He'd have to measure at least 5'10.5" in elevators because I don't see 2 inches between them. I'm pretty set on 171-172 cm for Downey. No less than 171, imo, but definitely no more than 173, which seems a bit generous to me. At that height, he can look 5'9.5", and sometimes 5'10" in lifts and elevators.

Rising: These pics have been posted before as you know but they sure are priceless. If you look at these pics from head to toe he looks a strong 5'10 wearing these Stripper boots. I think they give a full 3 inches over barefoot height which would make sense. Downey height 5'7.25- 5'7.5" plus 3 "real" inches puts him at around 179. Robs estimation is close but a tad too high in my humble opinion. He looks below 5'8" barefoot on the beach with his wife (who is real short btw).

To make the mugshot measurement inaccurate Downey would have to either A, be wearing shoes which give him more height than what is thought, or B, be standing a little further from the chart and closer to the camera--or both at once. It's as simple as that. So since it's possible for both the mugshot to be accurate and for his 5ft8 height to be "illusory" this mugshot picture hasn't any greater authority than any other picture at all. It's interesting what Rising Force said, though: Downey can pull off 5ft10 in "big" lifts. Surely a man even 5ft7 1/2, with his hair combed/spiked up as Downey often has it, can hit the illusion of 5ft10 quite easily in normal dress shoes without such conspicuous lifts. In which case, if 5ft10 is the tallest he can achieve with those huge shoes on, then surely he must be less than 5ft7 1/2 barefoot! Who knows, I could be wrong.

How tall are you, around 5 foot 7?" And Downey supposedly replied "Yeah, around that mark." I'm still trying to find a legit height claim from Downey. He's talked about height a number of times, but I've never found a claim from him! I'm pretty sure he'd claim 5'9", which is what he's usually been listed at, But who knows? He may own up to only being around 5'8", or he may make a wild claim like 5'10"? I've also seen him listed at that height, believe it or not. And I think the 5'10" listings were from some 80's articles when he looked much shorter and didn't wear lifts.
You're right Jack, he can pull off near 5'10" in big lifts, but lifts are an understatement.
The first time I saw Downey's shoes from Iron Man 2, the phrase that instantly came to mind was stripper heels. Click Here Click Here Not only is the heel about 3 inches, which is almost unheard of these days for a mens boot, but you can see there's even a bit of a platform in the front, which makes me think he had lifts built inside the boot in addition to massive heels. Hell, Downey's exterior heel is as big as most women's heels.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a bigger picture, but here's a shot of Downey's elevator sneakers from the first Iron Man. Click Here

He looked 5'9" in shoes to me in the mugshot, but he was standing in front so that could add some height. And I wouldn't assume Downey was in lifts in the Malcolm McDowell picture since that was from 2003, which I believe was before Downey started wearing lifts/heels/elevators. The earliest I saw Downey wear shoes like that was the 2006 pics with Keanu Reeves when Downey was literally wearing 70's style platform shoes. Downey has started wearing lifts constantly around 2007. My guess is 5'7.5", but I do think 5'8" is possible, he did look it in Us Marshals, iirc. I think Downey and Cruise would be very close in height barefoot, perhaps even the same height, though I do think Cruise could be a bit taller, maybe 1 cm.

I always said that Downey is 5'7. Probably a strong one at that but 171 is his max height and always has been. Good that people are starting to agree... Louis your estimation is way Off . Lifts or not Robert is not below 5'7". But he hasn't seen a full 5'8" barefoot during this lifetime. Probably not even morning height straight Out of bed.

I agree with Rob's range, I've thought 5'7.5"-5'8" for a while. While I'm not into guessing to the quarter inch, that's why I thought a 5'7.75" listing just like Cruise would be perfect. It sums up that he's a weak 5'8" since it's possible he's that height, but I think he's a bit under most of the day. There are times when Downey can seem even shorter such as some of his pre-lift days and sometimes looking shorter than he should in big lifts, but I doubt he's below 5'7.5".

5'8" is just laughable for Downey. I met him at Earth Day at UC Davis one time, many years back. He was tiny... maybe 5'6" at most.

Robert in his sneakers stuffed with lifts is pulling off looking like a 5'9.5", weak 5'10" guy if Don Cheadle is 5'8", imo. Click Here Their eye level makes them look even closer than that, but Downey clearly has a bigger forehead despite Cheadle being a bit closer to the camera. The typical rules of lifts don't really apply with Downey since he goes overboard to the point where he's basically falling out of his shoes, but I doubt he's getting more than 3 inches from sneakers if that.
So if Cheadle is 5'8", then I'd think Downey is at least in the strong 5'7", weak 5'8" change midday/evening. Personally, I think giving Downey a listing like Rob did for Cruise at 5'7.75" would make the most sense. He's probably more like that, or maybe 5'7.5" so I think the listing in between would be the most logical.

I found the article I mentioned earlier as a file, but I'm having trouble finding the source post I saved it from. My quote was wrong - the article lists RDJ as 162cm (5'3"), not 163cm (5'4").
I'll upload the scan to link for everyone at the first chance I get. (And has anyone else seen a recent photo where he's clinging to a hanging chain in a button-down and slacks? My first thought was of Elijah Wood, oddly. Or maybe it's not so odd. I'm positive now that, thanks to RDJ himself or folks responsible for his publicity, reports of Downey's height have been greatly exaggerated...)

I am so confused.
The first reference to Downey Jr's adult height that I saw was an article scan, originally written around the release of "Chaplin", in which the author was touting all the similarities between the two entertainers... on that page (which I'll have to scrounge around for sometime)RDJ was listed as 163cm, which, at best, equates to 5'4" or 5'5".
As a 5'6" guy myself who's been compared to "compact-bodied" public figures more times than I care to count, I really doubt it's possible, with RDJ's build, that he's over 5'6" or 5'7". A barefoot measure of 5'5" seems most likely.

It's tough to determine his real height. I watched Due Date recently and there were some scenes where he looked indeed 5'8 while in others he looked 5'10 or even 5'11 and I have no idea if he was wearing elevator shoes in this movie. Rob, I think he perhaps needs a small upgrade.

interesting comment: He's *teeny* though. I've met him several times in and around ever Starbucks on the Westside and while he is still a hottie (and I am totally turned off by short men so that is saying something). He's barely taller than I am (5'3-4″). Nice guy, very down to earth, smiles, makes eye contact, will talk to you if you talk to him but he's teeny (he and I are usually in flip flops so he was sans lifts). The lifts may not be his idea but a matter of cinematic necessity. I would be taller than him in heels. I agree with the 5'5″ maybe 5'6″ estimate

Rob , i think 5'7.75 or so fits , 5'8 andrew mccathy was taller .
You're so off on all your estimates.
It would be a better fit then 5'8 , and your estimates are off ... 5'6.75 Cruise and 6'0 Will Smith .

5'7 no more, probably less
I agree. He was barely taller than Madonna in heels in the mid 80's when he was a cast member on Saturday Night Live and she was the musical guest performer and they stood side by side. This was PRE-lift days.

if you asked him how tall he is what would he say? would he admit to wearing lifts? he looks ridiculous next to jude law looking the same height as him but with shorter arms and long lower legs because of the lifts.

He is 5 ft 7in.
Some of you guys look at red carpet pics and suggest that women are wearing 5 inch heels and men are completely flat... Wake up, people. Those dress shoes guys are wearing have at least 1.5-2 inches high heels. Even more in some cases. It is not like guys are barefoot.
He looked same height with SJP back then when and I am sure she was wearing high heels. 5 ft 7 in is a very good estimate. The guy is handsome as it can be so who cares?

In the movie Charlie Chaplin which Robert starred in a women said to his character regarding his height "You'd be devestating if you were 6 inches taller". To be fair I think Robert Downey could be 174cm.

IMHO Douglas looked a strong 5ft10 in Wonder boys, but then again that movie was filmed 10 years ago, and while there were many footwear shots in that movie with no questionable footwear visible, editing may prove otherwise.

cb's pictures were classic: he looks as if he got those boots off of Kiss. And Da Beast is right about Downey being shorter than most average-height looking actors. Douglas is down as 5ft9 here, and he was also a couple of inches shorter than Mel Gibson in Air America. Who is also down as five-nine.

I believe that he is about 5'8 or a weak 5'9. I was watching "Tropic Thunder" last night and he looked about 5'10. I guess it was due to the fact that his co-stars, Ben Stiller and Jack Black are so short. It probably gave the illusion of him being 5'10.

Before I started really paying attention to RDJ's height, I would have never believed him to be 5'8" or under. But he has been dwarfed by actors who don't strike me as tall ie Michael Douglas (always seemed no more than 5'10 to me) and Tommy Lee Jones (could be 6' but I think he's just a shade under that). His scenes with Heather Graham in Two Girls and a Guy should prove beyond a doubt, that he's no taller than 5'8". Whenever they stood side-by-side, Graham looked just a tad taller and she's only listed as 5'8". Mind you, she was barefoot in some of those scenes.

I believe Maguire to be 5ft 7.75, he just gets sightings to be smaller because of bad posture. Douglas with bad posture looked 3 inches taller than Downey in that movie. As for Downey, I believe he is 5ft 6.75 midday military posture in a stadiometer. Why 5ft 6.75 you ask? Well for one , he cannot even hit 5ft 10 in those elevator sneakers he wore for the Iron man 1 photos with Paltrow and terrance Howard. If he was actually 5ft 7.5-5ft 8 he would hit it easy and be over 5ft 10 in those monsters.

Yeah, he looked at least a full 5 inches shorter than Lee Jones in US Marshal and about an inch shorter than both Joe Pantoliano and Wesley Snipes who are confirmed at 5'9". It was surprised to see how small (both in height and stature/frame) he looked next to Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaking of Tobey Maguire, you see that he and RDJ are pretty much the same height as they stood side-by-side in Tropic Thunder. Who knows if Downey was wearing lifts or not.

good call, Burby. What height we talking about for Maguire? Did you also notice the height difference between Michael Douglas and Downey? Da Beast was talking about Downey being noticably shorter than 5ft9 Snipes, and Douglas is estimated around the 5ft9/10 mark. If he's visibly shorter than these average-height actors, then what height we talking about for him?

Does apear to be 5'8 in height, I also was watching US marshals recently and Downey jr was a good several inches minus in comparison to tommy lee jones who tops out around 5'11, it is safe to assure robert downey is a centimeter over or under 5'8.

Just watched US Marshals last night and he was much shorter than Tommy Lee Jones in that movie - about 4-5 inches shorter. He was even noticeably shorter than 5'9" Wesley Snipe so I think he's just a hair shorter than 5'8". About average height but short by Hollywood standards.

in Wonder Boys Downey looked about three-inches shorter than Michael Douglas, who is down as 5ft9/10 on here, but there is always the argument the latter was in lifts. I gather the film would've been from Downey's pre-height-fixation days. He was about as tall as co-star Toby Maguire.

I think Josh.J is nearer the mark: but even that might be generous, based on the pic with Keitel. As for the Mugshots: maybe Downey's publicist re-shot it in a studio with him on a box!

I believe it was "around that" when asked by the guard if he was 5'7".
He is a touch under 5'9" in 1" prison shoes which means he would be just under 5'8" barefoot HOWEVER the camera is quite low and Mugshots are deceptive depending on camera height. the camera would have to take a picture straight on his head to be accurate BUT he is around just under 5'8", 5'5" is just too low.

In the pics with Foxx(posted by leonari), Downey Jrs heels still look suspect, and Foxxs heels look low/below average. Also note that Foxx is not standing as straight as Downey is, so I'm still seeing 3 inches between them.

for now i'll stick to 5-8 morning for him, but he looks a flat 5-7 a lot. he has the proportions of a 5-7 guy. with his chunky platforms and sneakers/2 inch lifts combo he can pass for 5-9ish sometimes, just scraping 5-10. maybe with those stripper heels he'll look taller.

He is like max 2 inches shorter than Foxx but I say he wears lifts. His body screams 5'7" or just a lil bit taller.

Guys, take a look at killing jokes post/pics. The actress on the right, Catherine Keener, is listed as 5ft 7 on this site, I can't see her shoes, but even she looks 1 in-1.5 inches taller than Downey in that pic. Even next to average height people like Foxx, Downey looks substantially (3 inches) shorter. I'm beginning to think 5ft 7 MAX for Downey.

The first time I realized and said to myself: "Hey this guy is my height "was back in 1995 during the movie " ONLY YOU" with Marisa Tomei. He wore flat shoes and typical 90's attire. This is not a full 5'8" guy during the day. Like rising said: With ridiculous footwear he reaches just a real average height of probably 5'9.5". His father is huge and I guess his mother is tiny. Mothers have a bigger influence genetically when it comes to height of their siblings. He and Kiefer are prime example of this reality.

thanks leonari. he looked 5-7 in a lot of 80's movies, or atleast that was the impression he gave. i think he was shorter than kiefer sutherland by a bit in some 80's movie. you're right about his height obsession coming after his comeback. his real height is revealed in all of his movies in the 80's and 90's.
to me, he seems in the same range as guys like cruise and wahlberg. all 5-7.5 to 5-8 range imo. cruise wears lifts the right way, wahlberg usually looks his 5-7.5ish height so i doubt he wears them and downey will put anything on his feet. no celebrity is worse with footwear than robert. stripper heels, 2 inch lifts stuffed in sneakers, platform shoes ect. an even in the lifted sneakers/shoes he didn't look that tall, he looked AT BEST to be a weak 5-10.

Once again I am down with Rising. Good to have you back man. I always said that Robert is not a real 5'8" guy. Some time agao people said here: We nailed Robert Downey jr. He is 5'8". I tell you he is below that most of the day. He always looked it in the 80's. His obsession with height came after his comeback a couple of years ago. Robert Downey Jr. is oer 5'7" but not by much. The pic with Glenn above proves what 1) Lifts can do for you (especially when abusing it like Robert) and the 2) classic arm around shoulder stance. Robert in my opinion could be a cm taller than Glenn but not more in reality.

so what are we doing? has the torrent of evidence suggesting he is a weak 5'8" at best swayed our train of thought? 5'9" in prison shoes + camera tilt should have been our give away lol. Yeah I'll go with that, 5'8" morning.

yeah, he was likely getting a bit of a camera advantage in the mugshot. that often happens. he needed the most ridiculous posture and chunky platform shoes to get within 3 inches of a slouching legit 6-1 keanu reeves. jamie foxx made him look barely 5-7 as well.
i've changed my mind, defintley 5-8 morning height at the most.

I have seen Robert a few times and once stood face to face for a brief conversation. I am 5'1" so most people are bigger than me. There is no doubt in my mind that Robert is a tiny guy. I don't think there is an ounce of fat on his body and he is well proportioned. His hair sticks up on top which adds height. Most people think I am taller as my hair is naturally curly which adds height. My husband is 5'10 and he seemed to tower over Robert. I would guess Robert's height to be no more than 5'8" but he really could be 5'6".
I don't get why height or lack of bothers guys. Wearing lifts is like wearing a toupee. A bald guy with confidence is much more attractive than one with a bad toupee or a comb over.
Robert is such a smart guy but he is blind or doesn't care how he looks in those ridiculous shoes. At the very least, they are entertaining as they make me laugh.

Glenn doesnt pick the heights but i actually think Dwoney is a flat 5'8" midday and 5'8.5" morning and about 5'7.75" MAYBE 5'7.5" evening. I know he is never out of lifts and his antics are just poor at times but i doubt he is as low as 5'6" barefoot, remember he was just under 5'9" in prison shoes, doubt they were lifted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha it's funny how you have him on here as 5'8! Maybe he is that tall with his super huge lift shoes, but that isn't his height Glen. I've actually had the pleasure of meeting and having a good conversation with him just last week. During the conversation I looked down and noticed his shoes. They looked stuffed and funky looking so I started to wonder why. I'm 5'8 and he was the same height as me or even slightly taller and I'm sure he was wearing lifts, and by the way his shoes looked, I would say he had a good 2inch lift on there. I would say his real height with out shoes would be 5'6. Nothing wrong with that since he is an awesome actor. That's just how tall he is. Glen I don't have physical proof, but I can honestly tell you that 5'8 for Robert is way too generous of you.

Believe me Annoyed, he is too concerned about his height to say "about that" and be anything taller than that. by saying "about that", I would believe he is "that" (5-7)tops, and probably even less.

the prison guard story has been floating about for 3 or 4 years maybe more, i believe it was the guard asked if he was about 5'7" and downey said "about that" , so he admitted he was about 5'7" but that can mean 5'8" or also 5'6" lol ! He aknowledges he is shorter than 5'9" Paltrow but thats the only reference ive ever heard him actually make to his height.

I totally agree with you D.Ray Morton, but the thing is that he will look ridiculous in the movie 'cause his legs will look out of proportion eventhough they definitely won't show his shoes in the movie. He could have worn Sherlock Holmes shoes in Ironman 2 those shoes had more moderate heels. BTW no matter he is wearing thick heeled shoes in Sherlock Holmes he still looks shorter than Jude Law and Guy Richie (both are 5ft11). I think 5ft8 is Roberts morning height.

I can't think of another actor who would wear those these days. And it's not like he's that short, just a little below average. He doesn't need those.

Robert Downey could be a strong 5'7" without heels and lifts. Think about it. I need a drink after those pics...

I think it is a bit silly to wear lifts, but it also seems an abundant practice in films throughout history. Humphrey Bogart acutally had to stand on a box during Casablanca because Ingrid Bergman was too tall for him to even wear lifts. Even though extreme lifts are, well, extreme, I don't think he's a pioneer in that aspect.

I shouldn't be surprised after his 2 inch lifts in normal sneakers or his platform shoes but Robert has outdone himself. Imagine what he'll wear in the 3rd Iron Man movie. Maybe he's still hoping to reach 6 feet.
Now Robert and Bono are in the finals for the title of most ridiculous footwear.

Yeah the pics that make Downey look shorter outweigh any other pics 10 - 1 . He s a cool 2 inches clean shorter than Stallone and struggles to even hit 5'11" with monster lifts , even 5'10" is usually a stretch!
But what Rising contributes is solid and gives us a wide spectrum, yes, OWNEY can LOOK 5'7" BUT USUALLY he is a comfortable 5'8" ala the MUGSHOT ! WE KNOW HIS HEIGHT IN PRISON SHOES THAT ARE NO MORE THAN 1" !
But Rising stick with it mate !

No sodapop you don't make any sense. He looks 5'8" compared to other men with fairly well known heights. They're all in shoes. I'm not comparing him to guys and using their in shoes heights as references.

You make no sense sodapop. They look 5'8" compared to other people who also wear shoes. Your statement would make sense if everyone aside from Downey and Cruise walked around barefoot.

Ok guys you are being fooled, Robert and Tom Cruise are not 5'8" or 5'9" barefoot. If they look 5'8" with shoes they are 5'7"!!! Think people!

Wasim you are Wrong!! Robert is not 5'8", hes more like 5'7". I'm pretty good a judging height. Go back and watch the movie Weird Science you will see his real height. I'm 5'9.5" and he doesn't look close to my height
