How tall elvis

Forgot to add Height above easily could've been his outta bed height. Elvis costumes would fit me I have a similar build to his but I have a With shoes he most likely hit 6'1. BTW I have 42 chest and have hit the six foot mark without shoes if I don't slouch. But his costume designer Bill Belew said in an interview that Elvis always wore a size 9 US shoe so that solves that.

No idea why it says on google that Elvis was a size His personal costume designer stated he was a size 9, what more proof do we need?

Over the years I've had many people comment on how similar I am in size and height to Elvis. I am 6'1" Many of these people have told me that they knew Elvis, and he appeared to be just a shade over 6 feet. Anyway, after Aloha from Hawaii Elvis played Vegas straight away, and then continued to tour the US, as well as playing Vegas twice a year until In he played Vegas once only and this was his final time there, however he continued to tour the large arenas.

He was still very popular and was one of the biggest concert artists, certainly up there with other big acts, such as the Stones and Led Zep. Really he was touring too much and this showed in some of his shows, but he could still pull off great ones. Check out on YouTube Birmingham in Dec 76 to get an idea. The film quality is poor but you can still see that Elvis was in great shape and was still capable of putting on a great show.

Hope this helps. Just tell after the show in hawai i , was Elvis forgotten in USA? Elvis im the 70 was like sinatra or no? Bronson was between 5'8. Overall, 5' Was it an under measurement? From pictures of the time and accounts I've read, Elvis seemed to be probably a slim but solid 6' tall man at his peak height as a young man maybe another inch for his famous hair and probably held close to that throughout most of his life.

He might've shrunk slightly near the end of his life with all of the weight he put on and the rough shape he was in but even then he likely didn't go much below 5'11" without shoes. He was not a small person. Not massive but solidly built. That little zinger of yours on the Jerry Seinfeld page was pretty sharp.

My own posts are a little, um, indulgent. I try and I try to stick to the subject of height, but I often fly off on tangents relating to other aspects of various celebrities' personalities and careers. This can get out of hand. I have a near-psychotic scorn for Bob Dylan, for example. But height is such a striking personal attribute. People who are unusually tall or short are aware of it all the time, and people who are just midrange in height often want to be taller, especially if they are public figures.

My favourite category of post here is, "I met him and there's no way he's five foot eleven. It's not everyday I get praised for being a sarcastic grouch. And I'm a sarcastic grouch everyday. Do a search I'm usually the resident sarcastic grouch.

A news anchor once offhandedly mused about Elvis' recent string of car gift-giving by saying "And if you're listening Elvis, I wouldn't mind a new car, too! Oddly, I don't really like a lot of Elvis's songs, and you'd need a shotgun to get me to sit through one of his movies.

He interests me because he was an unusually decent man. I think I read somewhere that half of all the records sold in the United States in were by Elvis. Or maybe it was half of all the records sold by RCA. The thing is, he was not just a man but the principal capital asset of an entire industry. Elvis, by dint of a strangely compelling personal appeal, was paying the salaries and wages of thousands of people. He could have been an appalling swine to everybody as Frank Sinatra sometimes was and people would have just put up with it.

Instead he was compulsively kind and generous to everyone he met, and this was when he was in his early twenties, when many people are barging around doing all kinds of damage because, for the first time in their lives, they can exert power. A U2 spy plane was used to take an overhead photograph of him in August of In the photograph he is standing next to a Cadillac Eldorado, whose dimensions are exactly known.

The resolution of the photograph was so good that it is evident from it that Presley was barefoot at the time it was taken. The exact time of day is known, as well as the latitude at which Presley was standing. Strategic Air Command technicians compared the length of Presley's shadow in the photograph to measured dimensions on the Cadillac and determined that Elvis Presley was exactly six foot and a quarter of an inch tall.

The source for this story is my cousin Murray, who has been sober for five days now. Now I don't want to hear any more of this five foot eleven and three-quarters nonsense. That might actually be the best celebheights. He's been around. There is a pic in film that Elvis and Ursula are in brefeet. In that pic you can have an idea how tall Elvis was , The film was in Acapulco.

I'd imagine he'd be in shoes probably dress shoes or boots that would give a solid inch or 1. Is it possible he was just 5'11 flat? He looks like my build and I'm a weak 6'0. In shoes I'm definitely over 6 foot.

Something doenst add up here. Also I saw a picture next to Lorne Greene. They look same height. Maybe both were strong 5'11 guys barefoot? I read somewhere Greene was 5' Maybe he was by late s. He probably lost. The King needs a.

I do think that Vernon was still slightly taller but not by much. I have looked through many photos from this session and in some Elvis and Ed are barefooted but in others they appear to be wearing some type of black shoewear. The one I posted I think Elvis looks taller than usual next to Ed, as when barefooted they are virtually the same, perhaps with Elvis having half an inch.

Ed Parker was obviously a true legend in the martial arts world, even helping Bruce Lee to become famous, and he was described in the martial arts world as being 6ft tall, long before his association with Elvis. All the best.

In that pic that you posted of Elvis and Parker in black outfit are they wearing shoes? Nothing on earth wrong with any of them. Okay, if you're one to talk about objectivity, you might need to take a few pages out of your own book.

But we frequently see pictures passed off as hardcore "proof" where A. Deceptive angles C. RisingForce quite frankly irritates the heck out of me when it comes to his views on world politics, as we got into a heated debate over it and I was quite appalled by what I considered flat-out ignorance of the worst type imaginable.

But I have to hand it to him - he's probably one of, if not THE, best and most comprehensive height sleuths ever to have graced this website. He backs his estimations up with rationales that actually make sense, and it more than willing to amend his guesses if he feels someone has proven him wrong.

He also never fails to humbly acknowledge where he could be mistaken, but cogently explains why he is inclined to stick to his convictions. I think we could BOTH learn from his methods of arguing about height. Whether Bronson was 5'5", 5'7", 5'9", or 6'2", he did indeed have a specific height that defined him, so it wasn't a matter of opinion how tall he was We here just try to pinpoint that specific figure as closely as we can.

Most of us like to try to look at the all of the evidence available and arrive at what we consider to be an intelligent, reasonable and educated guess concerning what a celeb's true height is or was. If you've reviewed everything pertaining to Bronson's vertical stature, and still conclude he was 5'7" or 5'6", then I respect that, as it's your personal opinion.

Just like my opinion is that you're disregarding some very glaring evidence which strongly suggests he was taller. Of course, I'm sure your rebuttal will again be that he wore lifts and I'M the one who is being fooled, which I can respect as well. I never implied that when the vast majority of a crowd has a differing opinion, the minority is wrong by default. But when it comes to the context of this site, what are the odds that one man Tom , would be the one guy who somehow is on to something, and practically everyone else is just blind to the facts?

I mean, the statistical probabilities of that being the case are fairly low, no? I definitely despise Glenn far more than Frank2 whom, incidentally I really hold no grudge against, as I stated earlier , but you felt the need to clarify that you weren't Glenn either - to which I responded that I never accused you of such I presented my case for the potential of you being Frank2, and I'll let the readers and site contributors analyze it and judge for themselves.

But for your sake, hopefully they're better at interpreting purported false identities than they are at guessing heights. I disagree with the height growth in a persons twenties, unusual yes but not never.

I have now submitted the photo of Parker with 6ft Joe Lewis and likewise they are also the same height, both towering over Bruce Lee. So what do you think now????? When Elvis entered the army he was I recently watched Tickle Me. Elvis wore height increasing boots. That made Elvis look a lot taller than him. Both Ed and Joe are wearing the same outfit so probably in the USA team and most probably the same footwear , so I am trying to find these other six footers for you!

I think someone here is in denial. Elvis grew late? Prove it. And how late? In his twenties? This is a barefoot photo and can be verified by viewing a full length shot which I submitted a few days ago. I still believe that Elvis grew late just like Johnny Cash apparently did by up to two inches when Cash went into the airforce! You can clearly see though that Elvis was tall and not an average 5ft 10in or indeed 5ft 11in. For me a definite six footer. At least now you concede that Elvis was 5'11" when before you seemed pretty adamant that he was under.

But the boxing ring shot shows nowhere near four inches between Charlie and Presley, which presents a major problem for a 5'7" Bronson. I have a right to my beliefs just as you have the right to your own. When you're in a situation where the overwhelming majority is in opposition to you, it may call for some introspection.

My last post on Bronson. Check out this photo. And Bronson is on the left. Bizarre estimates? It sadly sems to be the way of things these days. I saw a solid two inches of difference - perhaps a bit more, but perhaps not. It certainly shatters the belief that Elvis was a 6'2" guy barefooted, but Elvis is still easily a very strong 5'11", and almost unquestionable over that mark. Since Bronson and Presley's heights are therefore now dependent upon one another, you definitely went far overboard with your Bronson estimates when you say he was nothing over 5'7" and possibly 5'6".

Go to the Bronson page here. Plenty of evidence presented by RisingForce showcases a 5'9" peak Bronson. Check it all out, and report back; Rising makes some very compelling arguments.

Since you are absolutely not Frank2 at least according to you , I expect you to come around on this one, since Rising sells his case very well, and leaves little to no room for any counterarguments. Frank2, as entertaining as he was, could be one seriously stubborn S. Frank2 was known to be incredibly unreasonable when it came to budging from his initial height estimations, but since I now am willing to accept that you are not him, I'm sure you'll read the comments and view the links on Bronson's page and come back fully convinced.

Bronson still doesn't look your insistent 5'7" claim in the group photo with Crawford, Meeker and Talman either imo. And Elvis certainly didn't tower above Bronson in Kid Galahad either. Why would he lie? Borgnine admitted wearing lifts in the film in an interview I read.

He said Clift was an inch taller than him. No question. There was a two inch difference. Obviously Elvis was a lot taller than Bronson. Watch the movie. At the VERY most that's a one inch difference, most likely less. Their eye-levels and body frame are close, but of course Curtis has the longer head. And the pic with Douglas is hard to tell due to the camera angle, they look close in height there nonetheless. As for you saying Bronson could have been 5'6" -- you have got to be joking right!?

Elvis wouldn't have been over 5'8. Click Here And here in this photo taken of him with Kirk Douglas who was still recovering from his near fatal helicopter crash the men are roughly the same height. That accident compressed his spine. I've seen many Bronson films and he mostly looks like a completely average height man to me.

Including films he appeared in barefoot. Whether he wore lifts at times, he wasn't wearing Bogart's Casablanca shoes or Karloff's Frankenstein boots. I think we'll have to agree to disagree because I just don't see a possibility Bronson was under 5'8", much less 5'7". Incidentally, I can't believe Ernest Borgnine was only 5'9" in his prime. I saw him listed 5'11" in an old article and I'd bet he was closer to that than 5'9" so he was undoubtedly taller than Bronson, but not as much as that still favoring him shows.

But I can agree with you on the possibility of Elvis being 5'11" and the fact it can be tough to see an inch difference at times. Never has been me. Nor am I that other character Glenn. Nor am I anyone except who I am. I would never put my picture on the web. Nor would I ever use my own name. Anyone who does is a fool asking for trouble. The web can be entertaining, even enlightening. But lurking out there is a bevy of weirdos and crazed individuals.

I constantly chide my wife for having a social media account. All you have to do is watch his films. Such a mind blowing coincidence that you aren't Frank2, yet your height estimates mirror his like a carbon copy. Since you are a completely different person, I have to now inform you that yes, Frank2 DID consistently insist Bronson was only five foot seven, despite so many here arguing otherwise.

Hey, could do me and the others here a small favor to ease our crazy and imaginative minds? Just so we can finally have proof positive that you two are different people. Since you, as someone who isn't Frank2, and seems to be a very reasonable and rational individual would have to objectively say that our suspicions are rightfully aroused. Just humor us and put our silly little minds at ease once and for all. One quick and simple photo Elvis had white hair, dyed black and this would run into his eyes constantly under the stage lights.

Now that would have been interesting. He apparently contracted a disease from the army which led to hair loss, so it's not wrong or weird he wore a hairpiece. And what significance does it have to his height exactly?! Elvis had his own hair at least until the s when he was appearing on stage in Las Vegas. Or he could have started to suffer from male pattern baldness. Watch House of Wax. Also seeing an inch difference is difficult, especially considering camera angles.

Bronson would have to be more 5'9. There's also a scene early in Death Wish 3 where Bronson is sitting on a bench and his pant leg comes enough to see he doesn't look to be wearing lifts yet he was still not much shorter than 5'8. Keep in mind, Bronson was 63 by that point. Frank2 actually mentioned Bronson having one leg shorter than the other Frank2 was also of the opinion Bronson was only 5'7" ; and Bronson does often look to me like he has one shoe with a higher heel than the other, which actually might have mistakenly led people to believe he wore big heels when only one of his heels were big.

I've only seen a few occasions where I thought he might be wearing lifts, though, and even if he did, that'd explain why he could look his official height of 5'10", which would be almost impossible if he were 5'7".

As a man a bit over 5'8", I have a pretty good idea of how a 5'7" man looks and Bronson just doesn't have the build of a man that short. Although even if I'm right about Bronson being 5'9" or 5'8. Although I do find Tom's photo of Elvis interesting as it may substantiate some of the lift rumors. There is at least a chance, imo, that Elvis measured 5'11" barefoot and then the 6'0" were shoe measurements.

That seems much more likely than repeatedly getting measured his high and then once at his low. Though it could also be a case of an error, or some rounding. Rob: If Elvis measured 6'0. I'm sure in person he was never without them and appeared at least 6ft2. The people at Graceland described him as being just that. What do you make of this? Click Here Elvis definitely wore a black full hairpiece on stage the last few years he performed.

Just look at it. Click Here Nobody has natural hair like that. It looks like a helmet. Why would they list him that low? He was measured at 6'1''. His true height was slightly over 5'11''. Never trust the government! Only the short ones or those who were of medium height who wanted to look tall. I never saw Richard Widmark wear lifts yet he was no more than 5'10''. Perhaps even 5'9''. I never saw lifts on Jack Lemmon who was reportedly 5'9''. Nor on many actors under six feet.

But that was the only feature I spotted them in. And we have no proof of anyone's height. Think about it. Unless measured and recorded by an irrefutable source such as during an autopsy, everything is pure speculation. And official heights with celebrities are always suspect.

He was obviously not that bothered about his height. The person he is training with was I believe his stepbrother David and he is a bit taller than Elvis.

Towards the end of the film when you see Elvis enter the lesson he is followed by Rick Stanley who has the blonde hair and he was six foot, the same height as Elvis. Could u go YouTube and watch Elvis presely - karate 6! In this video Elvis is praticsing karate with a tall guy , for me seem to be his stepbrother Bill or Rick. Do u know how tall they are? Definitely lifts. They gave Elvis an extra inch. That said, I hardly see much of a difference. How do you know Hebler is exactly 5'10"? Hebler is in the first photo linked by me.

Scroll down to the third to see the boots Elvis wore. If Bronson really was never over 5'8. Considering the fact there was a height listing of 5'11" flat on his medical record, and a 5' Elvis wasn't under 5'11". He also had one leg shorter than the other so perhaps without shoes he was 5'7'' on one leg and 5'8'' on the other.

He was more like 5'8''. Peter Sellers' wife Brit Ekland claimed Sellers was 5'11''. Sellers was more like 5'8''. Tyrone power claimed he was 6' yet it's obvious watching his films he was around 5'10". My point is people inflate heights. I guess it's human nature. Nobody wants to be known as being short except really short people. For them there's no reason to lie. If Danny Devito claimed he was 5'6'' we'd all have a good chuckle. Tom: I can't see the 5'7" stuff for Bronson.

On my first trip to Graceland in the tour guides were saying he was 5'11", so who really knows, but i would have to go with Nudie on Elvis true measurements according to this chart. Post by Graeme » Tue Oct 06, pm I'd never go by a tailors measurement as he was never likely to have measured Elvis' height instead he was more likely to have asked him for the sake of "filling in the form".

Why would a tailor need to know Elvis' height? Well, not just Elvis' - anyones? Shoulder height might be a good one to know from a tailors point of view. His build was very close to mine. Most of his costumes would fit me. Post by Mountain Mist » Sun Oct 02, am elvislady wrote: John wrote: This suggests he was 6'1" without shoes. Medical Exam.

I think it was either 6,1 or 6, It has recently received critical acclaim. When The Beatles came to America in there was only one person they wanted to meet: Elvis. On Friday, August 27, , they got their wish and, according to John Lennon, spent an entirely enjoyable evening at the Presley home in Bel Air, California, talking, singing and laughing with each other.

Through the s, Elvis settled in Hollywood, where he starred in the majority of his thirty-three movies, mainly musicals, acting alongside some of the most well known actors in Hollywood. In , Elvis was drafted into the military, and relocated to Bad Nauheim, Germany.

There he met year old army damsel Priscilla Ann Wagner Priscilla Presley , whom he would eventually marry after an eight-year courtship, and by whom he had his only child, Lisa Marie Presley. He bought Graceland mansion on Tuesday, March 19, , from Mrs. The mansion, built of tan Tennessee limestone, consists of 23 rooms and The Music Gates were installed in April of The name "Graceland" came with the mansion, from the days when it was originally used as a church.

In , following his six television appearances on The Dorsey Brothers' "Stage Show", Elvis was cast in his first acting role, in a supporting part in Love Me Tender , the first of 33 movies he starred in.

He began singing locally as "The Hillbilly Cat", then signed with a local recording company, and then with RCA in Elvis did much to establish early rock and roll music. He began his career as a performer of rockabilly, an up-tempo fusion of country music and rhythm and blues, with a strong backbeat.

His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog" later embodying the style.

Presley had a versatile voice and had unusually wide success encompassing other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop music. Teenage girls became hysterical over his blatantly sexual gyrations, particularly the one that got him nicknamed "Elvis the Pelvis" television cameras were not permitted to film below his waist.

In , he attended the senior prom with the current girl he was courting, Regis Wilson. After graduating from high school in Memphis, Elvis took odd jobs working as a movie theater usher and a truck driver for Crown Electric Company. His mother, Gladys Presley, gave him his first guitar in , when he was 12 years old, as a birthday present.
