    As someone who is barely 5'8 but with long limbs, I can confirm how easy it is do to what Sly is doing. I can easily appear 6ft depending on who I'm next to, my footwear and what level ground I choose to stand on. I can also look quite short depending on these same factors.5'7-5'9 are very "flexible" heights to work with.

      Yea. It definitely matters what shoes you got on. And as you get older your height can go up or down. They say your body can still grow until your like in 23-25 or something I can't remember exactly. But Yea. I've always been 5'11 6ft at most. but stand next to someone 6'2 and they not be so tall but stand next to 5'8 or so and I'm not to much. But then I had a friend in school who was 6'6 and he was like a giant to me. That extra inch really makes a difference

      @thediesel1241 3 года назад +3

      @@taylormcgarry470 Proportions matter. If you are 6ft with rather long legs and high shoulders you will appear taller. Get some good shoes and you can look 6.1 or even 6.2 feet. But to be honest there is not such a noticable difference in the range of 5.11 to 6.1. It mostly depends on your physique how you are seen. Wide shoulders, small hips and you will look bigger than you actually are. Just look at stallone next to schwarzenegger or lundgren, he looks smaller but it's not as striking as you would expect it to be. Hit the gym and most men really don't have to worry about height as much as they do.

    The 90's were a different time, especially for body builders. Things like a couple inches or a few lbs meant the world. Guess when you've been altering your height with different footwear for so many years it's just something that you do naturally. I'd take a guess and say a solid 5'7

    Back in 2005, 2006 and 2007, I worked and lived near Los Angeles for various companies like Sportschalet, Gelson's market, Wholefoods. At one of these companies, I don't remember which one, but someone told me they had done a delivery or catering to certain celebrity mansions and that person told me they had actually met Sylvester and that he was actually a short man but very well fit and a very nice guy. Same thing with Patrick Swayze, some people here in Texas where I live, told me they had met him or came across him and he was actually short. What makes these men look taller is their fitness, body frame, and the way they carry themselves. They're frame is of an alpha and of a leader. Ofcourse, sometimes there are the shoes, the camera effects like standing on a stool, but also, exercise and certain stretches can help stretch your spine and neck to it's full length making you a bit taller. As we age, we tend to lose a bit height from these disks in our spine contracting a bit, but if we do certain stretches and exercises combined with good sleep and posture, we can regain or even expand our height by just a few inches.

    I remember watching a behind the scenes clip from the movie 'Rambo, First Blood' and it showed Sly walking on a wooden sidewalk next to his on screen friend, The Colonel, so he could seem as tall as that actor who was around 5 feet 10 inches tall. Boosting one's height for movies has been done by almost all actors at one time or another, though. The dude who played Bane in the Christian Bale Batman movie used lifts to make his villain seem more impressive and at least equal to Batman who is genuinely 6 feet 1 inch tall in real life, but the dude playing Bane was like 5 feet 11 inches tall. Joseph Gordon Levitt, also from that movie wears lift shoes and exaggerates his height by standing very stiff all the time too.

    An interesting video. Re the picture with Glenn -we could not see Stallones shoes and I can't believe that back when he was younger he would not have had any lifts or assists of any kind in that picture. As you state he still only looks 5ft 8 so I still think we can't rule our 5ft 7 which is what I think he is. Watch Rocky IV - Lundgren on a box was done for Carl Weathers who is a similar height to Lundgren and when they fight suddenly this is confirmed! There are long shots of Stallone and Lundgren in the ring with Stallone clearly in flats and there is a 7 inch difference between them so no box is needed. I think Stallone is 5ft 7 and Lundgren was only ever 6ft 2 and has only ever been 6ft 4 when wearing lifts himself. I have met him as you have and he is as short as 6ft 1 now, too big a shrinkage for a 6ft 4 man in his early 60s.

    If 5:10 and a half I feel that he would have towered over Henry Winkler in Lords of Flatbush but the height difference wasn't too pronounced if memory serves. Lifts would have also made him look very tall in this instance but I don't think he's ever looked over 6ft even in lifts. I therefore think peak height of 5'9 is probably accurate all things considered.

    Yes I agree he has committed a lifetime of mystifying people from his actual height!
    Anybody who wants to challenge this is more than welcome to look up my background at Century plaza hotel in Los Angeles...
    As assistant Executive Chef back in 85 or 86, I had the security keys to the freight elevator in the towers building.
    As I was making my rounds through the fine dining kitchen in the towers, Sylvester and his Entourage of security consisting of two pretty huge guys approached the elevator as I had just started to put the key in. They wanted me to get out of the elevator, I told them if I leave my keys leave with me and they would not be able to operate it without. The bodyguards allowed Sylvester to step into the freight elevator with me, one guy kind of boxed me in the corner with his body and the other guy shielded Sylvester on the other side of the freight elevator.
    Now I had been in contact with many of celebrities in my time and it got to the point where it was no big deal to me... Never had I seen this level of protection for a celebrity coming in contact with an obvious executive of the hotel?
    Eventually when the freight elevator settled in what we called a tunnel that connected both buildings and also allowed access to the back docks where celebrities would enter and exit the hotel, things kind of chilled a little bit when they realized I had no interest in him at all.
    I want to share with you that I am 6'6"...
    Obviously I am very experienced at observing the height of other people because I'm always looking down on people.
    I can 100% assure you that Sylvester did not come to my chest height and nowhere even close?
    Later on that night in my room furnished by century plaza on terms of my employment agreement, I measured exactly how high it was to where the top of Sylvester's head was as he passed me exiting the elevator.
    With God as my witness I can share with you that saying Sylvester is 5 ft 7 is kind of generous! Being as tall as I am, it is also unusual when I meet somebody especially a man that is this short. Trust me, feel free to check my background, I was there, I know and I'm here to share that Sylvester is at best 5 ft 7 and it is my belief he is a lot shorter.
    By the way this is no intrusion on his actor and producer capabilities, he is an awesome actor and I love all of his movies...
    I don't understand why people can't just accept him the way he is because it makes him no less talented of a person?
    Sylvester if you read this, I'm sharing with you I have nothing but respect for you.

  • @joemurdoch4138
    @joemurdoch4138 3 года назад +3

    Stallone's not the first movie tough guy to hide his height. Alan Ladd didn't like to do public appearances because he was afraid his fans would be disappointed at how short he was. There are behind the scenes photos from Casablanca with Bogie having wooden blocks tied to his shoes. There's a scene where Bogart is standing next to the piano and looks normal height. But, if you ever see that Piano in person, the first thing you notice is that it is much shorter than a real piano. But, I go to movies for escape. So I don't believe Stallone is 5'10", anymore than I believe he's beating up a bad guy, or flying a plan under heavy fire.

Then he said He's searching for elevator boots because she was still taller than him. Funny article.

      I mean Italians in general get shorter than the average Western European in old age but I also agree with the other guy. He probably adds artificial height with faux shoes

    I think he is 5’7. When he was younger, maybe he was 5’8 1/2. At 5’8 1/2 it would be easier to pass for 5’10 with thick shoes or insoles. However, as he aged and got shorter, harder to maintain that elusion without some lifts.

    I remember seeing a wax figure of Stallone at Planet Hollywood. It was from a scene in Cliff Hanger, where he had fallen into the frozen water nearly naked. He was much smaller than I'd thought he was.

    I give him 5'10" on his day but assume he has shrunk alot over the years. I also think Shwarzenegger was alot taller at some stage than he is now but shrunk fast. Its a very unpopular opinion but its mine.

      @@jakelamotta2387 I reckon Stallone was a strong 5'9" peak but is closer to 5'8" these days. Arnie was a legit 6'1" no less, there's too much evidence to suggest otherwise, he shaded Carl Weathers in Predator who himself is tall.

    I personally believe that Stallone is quite short - about 5 Feet 7 inches in height. I saw him at a sports bar in Manhattan New York City during the 1990's. He was sitting at a table with a few people but then he stood up. I couldn't judge his height well because I was some distance away from him, but I saw that he was wearing shoes with GIANT heels. They were startlingly high.
    I also had spoken with an actor who I met in the early 1980's and he told me that he had been in a movie with Stallone. I think that the actor that I met would have had a small part as I
    think that he was not well known. He told me that Stallone was very short. He said that they were shooting scenes from the movie in New York's Central Park and they had a break during
    the workday. During the break, the actor told me that a few different women who were walking by, came up to Stallone and asked him for his autograph. He said that some of the women actually said to Stallone that they were surprised at how short he was. He said that at first, Stallone tried to make a joke out of it, but when a few different women commented about his
    surprising lack of height, he started to become angry.

    Just watching Copland now. One one of the early scenes Sly's wearing 'jangles', I think they're called 'flip flops' in the USA.
    So Sly's essentially flat on his feet.
    Ray liotta, who is 183cm, looks about 10cm taller at least.
    Would put sly around 175cm taking into account Ray's shoes
