![]() So, Military and Post Mortem records tell the truth and eliminate speculations many have made based on evidence not in the records of life and death. The one argument made by one of the guests here, that he grew since his intial height at entrance into the military - is well taken! But, Post Mortem shows Mcqueen at 5'7 or 5'8 - indicating quite clearly that he didn't grow anymore - which is the case in some people. In addition.thanks Antoine.but it looks like BJB did his/her homework as those were the comparisons I was trying to convey with my earlier post (when you can see the footwear) the actors are wearing in the photos - that's crucial! As Georgeclooneysmum stated - we need to re-evaluate other actor's heights which I believe are misunderstood and mistated because when you make the comparisons you have to see the actors in full length shots to see the footwear and perspective.Slope and Pyzer's arguments are convincing and appear to be right on with the majority of what people are saying.but if you ignore these convincing arguments - you cant refute facts.Military records and the Post Mortem exam. So you see, the public sees as it wants to see. So what? We know how tall he was in the military and we know how tall he was in death.why do we refute this? My own mother says I'm 5'10, I'm actually 5'8!!! Go figure my own mother. I am a bit critical of this site for the reasons that it takes what people say about one another rather than factual evidence. One can be made to be anything in hollywood even height. How do i know this? Because I have met him face to face and have seen the difference from his movies. i was once told Stephen Dorff was 5'10.he is lucky if he is even 5'8. Who we see on tv or the big screen often differs from reality. Being somewhat involved with the "business" i see and come into contact with actors/actresses quite frequently and am often surprised at their questionable footwear, height disparity in relation to this site and so on and so on. It seems that the dilemma here is that people "want" Steve McQueen to be or have been tall! Actors can look tall out in public as I myself have witnessed on many occasions. Anyway, very cool actor who starred in some timeless classics. Most likely, any variation in his height comes from his often loose posture and some co-stars who may have wore lifts such as Yul Brynner who was known to be sensitive about his height. Nothing more, nothing less.Īs for lifts, there was a photo where you could see their entire bodies and Steve in sandals with absolutely no chance of lifts did look about 5'10" next to Ali MacGraw who didn't look less than the 5'8" she's listed at here. For those that say he was only 5'8" or even less, why not post some pictures or video where he actually looks that height? I think the real argument is whether he was more 5'9" or 5'10" since he was clearly pretty average, but didn't look short. Either way, 5'6" and 5'7" are nowhere near realistic, and really nothing under 5'9" was realistic, imo. It's possible he did actually measure 5'9.5" as mentioned before and the 5'10.5" was in shoes. One of his wives also claimed 5'10.5" for Steve. This makes McQueen pretty much average and almost undoubtedly shorter than some imagine when compared to co-stars in that film alone like James Garner and James Coburn who were both at least 6'1". McQueen was supposedly measured 5'9.5"(presumably without shoes) and also apparently measured consistently 5'10.5" to 5'11" with shoes for his passports, which corroborates 5'9.5" as a measurement without shoes. There's no way Attenborough and McQueen were about the same height. Speaking of The Great Escape(which is a great film, btw), you can see McQueen standing next to Richard Attenborough, who was in the 5'6"-5'7" range himself and McQueen is significantly taller. Eli Wallach was also near 5'7" and while he may have shrunk slightly by 1980, not so much to make it plausible that McQueen would only be 5'7" standing next to him in the same film. ![]() Not much more than 2" taller, but certainly not the same height and you can see Burton standing next to Rob looking around the 5'7" range himself. ![]() As mentioned, Steve is with Levar Burton in "The Hunter" and is clearly taller. I would say that's more than fair and a good policy. The options for guesses are a range of 2" shorter and 2" taller than Rob's listings.
