I went to school with Vinnie, as I knew him. I almost hate to bring it up, because he's a decent enough guy, but he's not as tall as I am, and I'm a shade over 5'8'.
So for what it's worth, I'm not guessing he's shorter than me, I know he is.
5'7.5".

I gotta agree with Junior31. If you look at his pics with Johnny Depp, Depp looks marginally taller than him. In some pics they both look the exact same height though.
At this point I honestly think he's no more than 5'9" and the reason why he can sometimes look shorter than Depp is his posture, he's a sloucher kind of guy.

Rob, you should create an archival page for old comments and old heights.
Id say it would be a great laugh to see what you're views were back in like 2004!

Stood next to him at a cafe a few months back. I'm solid 5'11" he was in boot with huge heels and looked 5'9". I say 5'7". Just a real life opinion.

People love to hate him because he's so outspoken and opinionated--he calls things the way they are. I personally like him as an actor, but I like him best as a musician--he plays vintage-style lounge jazz.
I saw him play a gig at The North Star Bar in Philadelphia on 13 November 2010 with his band RRIICCEE. He & the band came through the front door of the bar about an hour before showtime--he hunched his shoulders, and zipped briskly through the bar without making eye contact with anybody. His posture was reminiscent of his character's neurotic style in BUFFALO '66. He wore an old fashioned 19th Century frock coat--crimson in color. What I remember most was his footwear: he was sporting a pair of white, vintage platform shoes with about a 3" heel. With the boots on, he was about 5'11". He passed by me in the bar where I was standing. I'm 6'3" barefoot, but I was wearing cowboy boots with a 1 1/4" heel, and in light of this, he still looked considerably shorter even with his platforms. 5'9" sounds right for him--even in those giant platforms he still didn't hit 6'.
One other detail: when he played the gig, he played with his back to the audience. I wasn't wild about that, but he more than made up for with his wild attire, his smooth guitar playing, and the fact that he is Vincent Gallo.

I have met him, talked to him face to face. I am 5'9" barefoot, and was wearing tennis shoes. He was at LEAST an inch shorter than I am. I was shocked. My guess is 5'7".

He was in an episode of Dirt. Next to Courtney Cox he seemed 5tft7-5ft9 range. Gotta find that episode. There was a lot good scenes to estimate height and Vincent was wearing sneakers not boots.

I ran into Gallo at a concert in LA, and there is no way he's 5'11. I'm not even sure about 5'9.5, cause I'm about 5'6-5'7 and he didn't seem more than an inch taller. And, as I remember, he was wearing flat shoes at the time.

You're right Rob. I heard that movie was the worst the Cannes Film festival had ever seen until Southland Tales in 2006.

He's pretty lengthy, I doubt he's 5'7". Glenn in shoes is probably 5'9" and Gallo looks 2 inches taller. So without Gallo's close to 2inch(my guess) shoes he is 5'9" unless in this pic his shoes are only 1 inch and when he wears his big shoes he reaches 6 feet. In conclusion he is between 5'9" and 5'10". He's very interesting because he gave people impressions of being in a range of 5 inches. Let's call him the man who almost reaches 5'10".

Heels give amazing illusions I stand at around the 5ftish mark yet with heels people mistake me for being around 5'5 mark and are shocked at how short I am! Mostly I run around in flats as I am useless in heels,I often end up chucking them off at the end of a night out. Glenn I am giving you a task ;o) somehow you have got to get Vinnie to raise his trousers so you can see those heels! Tell him you love the shoes and are thinking about getting a pair hee hee. Then you will nail his height. Another question is he a nice person and who is the nicest celeb you have met? :o)

Got to hear more about these stilletto boots, I nearly wet myself crying with laughter. Glenn next time you see him get a look at those feet! He is probably 5'7. Maybe he has a shoe fetish, from what I have read in his interviews he seems well how can I put this... eccentric is probably the nicest word.

Wouldn't be suprised if Glenn is right. Seen some of his movies and he always strikes me as a small guy. Not just vertically, but build wise, too. He looks to have the build of a 5'7" - 5'8" guy.
By the way, am I the only who thinks Gallo looks totally creepy and freaky in this pic? Looks like he's trying to suck the life out of the cameraman with his eyes and expression. Glenn almost looks a bit uneasy as well.

He is in no way 5-11. Id say 5-8 stretching it. He is thin and wears big boots alot of the time. That can give the illusion of being taller. But sorry Vince.

I know of one guy who met him who's 5'10 1/2", and he said: "5'11? No way! 5'7" standing on his wallet, maybe."
Gallo seems like a guy who has a large ego, so I'm kind of willing to believe that he's inflating his height considerably.
