Legitimately this height. Would've guessed him taller than this in Jumanji though, looked physically average height. Either way, not a bad height at all.

Solid 5’7 guy. Has longer legs to prove it, he could’ve definitely proved Tom cruises 5’7 claim wrong. If they stood together

Robin Williams' at 5'7 for his peak height seems reasonable. He was just a bit on the short side. He was barely an inch taller than Billy Crystal in his prime. Later in life I believe that Robin Williams was probably a strong 5'6. Height certainly didn't stand in the way of his immense talent.

In his prime Robin Williams actually looked pretty hearty for a 5’7” with thick arms, boxy shoulders and relatively powerful looking hands. It’s a point in Good Will Hunting that he is convincingly more powerful than Matt Damon’s character.

5ft7 small statured ? really dude I even felt angus young was to big to be a little person by some inches, and he was 5ft2 and this guy I met was 5ft3 and he was to tall to be a little person. So not 5ft7.

Editor RobWas almost 39. Yeah a small fraction by then for some men is possible. G was on the streets since 18 chasing after signatures...
also he was claiming disability benefits, so maybe he had some physical ailments that may well have caused him some postural issues.

5'7. It's weird how the media attack some people about their size like Tom cruise but leave others like robin alone. Maybe it's because he has worn massive lifts in the past but then again so has RDJ and he doesn't get mocked.

In 'One Hour Photo', the Police have him chalked up as 5ft9. Definitely only with 2" heels in this excellent psychological thriller!
Yup, glad to see you corrected yourself! An infatuation with Charlize Theron is understandable, but a WALMART-type store "offering" a full day to develop disposable camera film most certainly is not! 😂
Did you know that Jack Nicholson was originally set to play 'Sy the Photo Guy'?
And if you think the 5'9" booking in that movie is unrealistic, know that he was listed as 5'11" in 'Hook'!
Williams' fate hit me harder than any other celebrity death - even that of Michael Jackson, who I'm a pretty big fan of(hence my username).
And it's always great reading your posts, Sandy! I'll try to catch you in 'Sookie's Den'! 🙂

I have just walked into a film called 'License to Wed', and had every intention of turning it off in favour of a DVD until I saw that Robin Williams is in it!
It has a couple of revolting-looking, but hilarious mechanical babies in it, which pass gas, pee in people's faces and have blue excrement! What fun it must have been to know Robin; it's such a shame that he suffered from depression, bless his soul.
He looks no more than 5ft7 in this 2007 film. His smiling face makes my day every time I see it, and like many funnymen, he didn't need to be tall. He could do serious films every bit as well as comedy, however, and I was particularly awestruck by the one he made with Charlize Theron called, I think, 24 Hour Photo, in which he has an unhealthy obsession with Charlize and her perfect family life, duplicating photographs of hers while he is working as a photo developer. He is popular with the customers and has an outwardly respectably appearance and, of course, job. He keeps collages of his obsessions on a wall in his home. Yes, I think it's high time I see this film again! Everyone I've shown it too has been most impressed.
I will give this legend of a man 5ft7, and, Zach Hull, I don't half miss him too. 😿 You took the words right out of my mouth!

Here's a 5'8" claim from him from the recent biography by Dave Itzkoff:
"Robin had never been depicted in [a billboard], and it ate at him. “They’re fifty feet tall and I’m only five foot eight ... I’m nothing.”"
I think 5'7" is probably the best listing for him though. At times when he was younger he could look anywhere from 5'6.75" to 5'7.25"

Robin was much more than just 2" shorter than 5'9" Kurt Russell in The Best of Times, which was made when both men were 34 years old. I'd say it was more like a 3"-4" difference depending on the scene, but Robin looked absolutely no taller next to Kurt than Martin Short did in Captain Ron.

Slim, saying 5'7" is very short for a man, which is only 2 inches below average height, is like saying 5'11" is very tall considering it's 2 above average. Think about that one.

@Slim: It's a reference to the former poster here Glenn who measured below 5'7" yet insisted he was 5'8".
@MJKoP: Thanks, there ya go. Williams may have been closer to 5'7", but he wasn't old. Certainly not old enough to lose 2" without some medical explanation.
@Mister lennon: Then it must have been footwear or Williams giving a taller impression on screen back then. It'd typically be safe to assume he was at his peak height or very close to it in the 90's and he was looking somewhere in the 5'6"-5'7" range.
I posted a 60 year old Robin not much taller than 5'5" Elijah Wood, but the same is true for a 55 year old Robin: Click Here Click Here
I'm not saying Robin was never taller than that, but how much height would he lose by 55? Or by his 40s in the pic I posted below where Arnold towers Robin by 7" in 1998? Coupled with Robin's own claims of 5'7" and then 5'6" and I just can't see the possibility he was anything over 5'7". I don't think he was less than 5'6.5"-5'7" range, though as he was clearly taller than 5'6" Henry Winkler.

It really surprises me people think he was taller than 5'7" after he admitted it, or even close to 5'8". I'm pretty sure Williams even said he was 5'6" towards the end of his life. Arnold had a good 7" on him back in 1998: Click Here If Arnold was 186-187 cm range at that time then Williams was about 169 cm, which is bad news for Matt Damon.

Maybe as tall as a weak 5'7" peak - around 169-169.5 cm - and a flat 5'6" in his 50s when you see him not looking much taller than Elijah Wood and Michael J. Fox or see him with Ben Stiller, Elton John, a shrunken John Travolta or when he guest starred on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Robin Williams was about an inch shorter than Ben Stiller in the Night at the Museum films. In an old picture with Steven Spielberg Robin looks about the same height. I would say that 171cm (5'7.5") peak and later years 166cm (5'4.25").

One of our loveliest, funniest actors, he was capable of playing serious and comedy roles equally well. I thought the film 'One Hour Photo' was fantastic and my boyfriend had me watch 'Bicentennial Man' on Christmas Day of 2014. I loved it!
I've just been looking through some of the comments below and noticed that on the programme 'Autopsy', Robin was written up as 5ft8. This is not the first time 'Autopsy' have put a questionable height for someone. Brittany Murphy was a full 2 inches taller according to the upsetting and intrusive documentary series, which can get a bit too much for me sometimes.
RIP Robin xxx

5'7 seems about right for Williams. He looked a couple inches taller than Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, and about an inch or two shorter than Kenneth Branagh in Hamlet.

Rob, What is your favorite Film of Robin Williams? , superb talented actor May he rip, I think he hovered around the 170 range maybe tad more peak.
[Editor Rob: I liked him actually more in the serious roles like Good will hunting, insomnia, dead poets, one hour photo.]
Yes, Good Willing Hunting, but for me I think my favourite might be Awakenings. Patch Adams too I thought was a very underrated film and not sure why the critics hated it so much. He was on top of his game in Good Morning Vietnam, a classic too.

I was always stunned by his lesser stature. His very larger than life personality always added to the illusion of more height.

Consistently looked taller than a flat 5'7'' in his younger days, he likely just rounded down from 5'7.75'' but of course in his later days age, alcohol and his numerous health problems caused a more than average height loss likely putting him around 5'6.5''

I was about to say that! He looks a good few inches taller than Pacino in Insomnia, which made me think he was quite tall but in fact he wasn't when I met him as a kid he wasn't much taller than me then....

McLovin... I think you mean Pacino, DeNiro was not in Insomnia. It's well known by now that Pacino is at best 5ft 6 and most probably 5ft 5. I'll accept 5ft 6.75 for Williams.

In his younger days, he was definitely taller. His peak height was 5'9" as is attested to in the comments by those who knew him.
Even today, he's 5'9" when he wears certain shoes. The 5'7" measurement is without shoes.

If Glenn says he was 5'8 in his earlier days then hes probably lost at least an inch now, so he is about 5'7 or maybe 5'6.5 ....
He looks a decent height dressed as Mrs Doubtfire, but hes wearing heeled shoes, although he looks a lot shorter than Pierce Brosnan (6'1) in it. Probably 5'9 with the heels

Glenn, how can he be 5'8" when he said he was 5'7"? Unless of course, he is calling this height as his current height oppose to his peak height. I'm not saying your wrong, but it is very rare that celebs say they are shorter than their actual height.

definetely need an upgrade to 172 if there's any justice in this world.

one of the greatest actors of our time (in my opinion)
and to be perfectly honest i always thought he was never above 172cm, i recon his early days his true height was 172cm and then around the late 90's he looked 170-171cm and now he looks 169-170cm.
the most noticeble change is in the movie PATCH ADAMS where he looks spot on 5'7 barefoot (5'8 in shoes) earlier movies he did look slightly taller like 5'8.5-5'9 occasionally.
i think he should be Upgraded to 172cm and beneath it should add CURRENT HEIGHT = 169 or 170cm .....whatever fits, either goes well for him.
I AGREE WITH GLENN so.

i swear none of the shots he looked anywhere 5'9, he looked 5'8 with shoes.
Robin Williams (who i adore as an actor) imho was 5'7 and today is 5'6
there's no way around it. if i can post a pic of Patch Adams i will. :)
so 5'6 TODAY ......5'7 Prime. ;)

The picture with the comedian who claims to be 6'3" is very telling.I would say he's 5'4" or 5'5" at most.There is no reason for a 6'3" comedian to lie about his height.
Incidentally,many celebs have doubles who even sometimes do promos for them.I saw Williams double who looks about 5'9".Could explain some of the odd sightings for example Chuckycheese who claims to have spoken to him on the street in Singapore for a half hour ???

Williams is clearly 5'7''. He appeared that tall, too, next to Henry Winkler, who is 5'6'' in that first "Happy Days" episode when Mork shows up in Fonzi's world.

Well, don't forget Williams is wearing a cap, so he only looks shorter because his forehead is cut off. 5'7- 5'8 sounds right to me though.

Robin Williams has never ever lied about his height. I remember when he mentioned on a show one time that he's "a wee little man at 5'7" ".

nah 5'8 was my guess but I'd say 5'7 was a fair height for him... specially whilst watching the the Dead Poets Society

If Glenn is 5'8" on the nose, then williams might be in the 5'6 range. You have to consider that Glenn is leaning over a bit.

During Mork and Mindy days, he was 5-8. When I saw him after the Oscars in 2000, he was definitely closer to 5-7.

he looked about 5'6 in popeye . on the other hand.. i have seen him look 5'9ish in some movies. i say 5'6.5 to 5'8 is pretty fair and honest. i have heard people say 5'10/5'11 which is so unreal.

In Jumanji, he looks 5 foot 8 if not taller standing beside 5'7.5 Bonnie Hunt, he looks over an inch taller than her, and his legs don't look short to me.

Editor Rob outwith the film I'd say both are 5ft 7 range, the 1/2 inch for her maybe too much...

Robin and Glenn look the same height in this photo. So, 5'7 to 5'8 must be accurate. I would have guessed 5'6, but that may be because of his weight. Robin seems taller than Billy Crystal, who probably stands at 5'5.
