How tall shatner

IT was an experience I will never forget. And I do have a picture. Elevator customs on Star Trek. DiFabrizio is correct. I mean come on the man will be 82 in march!

Lost substantial height. He didn't look that much taller than Alfonso Ribeiro who is probably between 5'5"-5'6", and Will Smith, who I think is 6'1" had at least 5 inches on him. Also, in the scene between Koenig and Falk, Koenig is at least 1.

I've tried hard to look out for Shatner's shoes, but haven't seen any good shots. I don't know what any of this means, except that Falk must've been pretty short which, in my opinion, just makes him even cooler if Koenig was 5' 5" And Shatner must be at least 5' 6".

I was with him at a movie premiere. Either Shatner is taller or Sadowski is much shorter than cm. How tall would you say Sadowski is? Maybe a cm out of bed kind of guy. So whatever his peak height WAS, he is 2" shorter today. Not necessarily, that's juat what the average loses. Some will lose mess, and some like Clint Eastwood will lose significantly more than the average 80 year old man. I'm not saying Shatner hasn't lost 2 inches, but I'm not sure he has either.

He's definitely lost some height. He was 5'8. It seems in the lates, Shatner was still trying to look as tall as 5'11". He is wearing around 2. The rest of the male cast including 5'6" Walter Koenig are wearing boots with normal heels, while all the females including 5'8" Persis Khambatta are wearing wedges with around 3" heels. One extra a short girl can be seen wearing ca. Well, I must say, I can accept miniskirts, but wearing these in space Oh, well, it was the '70s Shatner is 5'7.

It means Shatner is around 5'6. Althought, at the age of 80, it's not surprising. His peak height was around 5'8. I believe he peaked cm, maybe cm. He can confirm this from the costume designers. Shatner 5'8. I see 5'7. Harlan Ellison gets creamed by Shatner cause he's 5' 4" tops. When he wear lifts, they look natural because it balances out. When people like Downey Jr or Bieber wear them, they don't look right. The taller ones were used in season 1, while in the rest they sometimes appeared alongside the new, short versions.

Shatner also used this advantage occasionally. See my comparison of Shatner's Cuban heels vs. Ricardo Montalban's flat boots in Space Seed. I've read Justman and Solow's book about his lifts and claimed 5'11" height.

If the shoemaker is correct, and Shatner gained 3 inches, then he was 5'8" without his footwear. Doubt it. They said the lifts he wore to achieve that height were so high that they distorted his posture and made his stomach stick out. Joan Collins said she didn't even recognise him outside of the studio without the massive lifts and hair pieces!

He's a known lift wearer. In costuming, he was listed as 5'9" and lbs. Today, I'd say about 5'8" and about Shatner looks short next to Kelley 5ft10 - 5ft Was he really 5'9"?? Click Here Click Here Click Here shatner has a big posture advantage in the first 2 pictures which is why the difference seems barely 2 inches.

In the first season all the male and female crewmembers wore a taller, 2-inch heels version, while they changed to a smaller, 1-inch or less version in the latter two seasons. However most of Shatner's girlfriends not those who served on the Enterprise, but the "alien babes" wore ballet slippers or gladiator sandals or barefoot! And, although mainly all the main Enterprise crewmembers wore the 2-inch boots in season 1, they used this "trickery" on some guest stars.

See my previous post, you can see Montalban wearing flat boots next to Shatner's 2-inch heeled ones. The first time involved an audience, and I was able to speak with him backstage. He seemed about an inch shorter than my 5'9. The second time was when I literally ran into him in the lobby of a studio, where there was no chance of an audience.

That time he seemed about three inches shorter than my 5'9. I leave the implications to any who wishes to contemplate them. You're either cocky because you're tall, or parinoid because you consider your self short. If everyone was 6'2, and exactly the same, this world would be a boring place. Get a life. His height will depend on which leg he is standing on. I know this because it can be seen when he is walking on camera.

An old friend, who met him verified this. She told me she would guess for him. Looks quite stocky these days too. Looked 5'9" on Jonathan Ross max. Regards Mamun. Looks like he could be under 5'8" here.

Hard to say, though. William is atleast 5'8" still and he was atleast 5'9" in his prime. Shatner is at least your height and possibly with change, therefore your 5.

I also remember leaning forward to show him some pictures! Look at him next to Leonard Nimoy in sandals. Do you by any chance have X-Ray vission? Mamun at a legit 5'8 looks around the same height as him while he's bending a bit, but if he stood as straight as Shatner he'd definitely be a good 1 inch taller if not slightly more.

Also mr. R thought he was between 5''7 as well. As Brad said those boots were quite big on Star Trek. In a lot of episodes Shatner actually wore bigger heels than some other actors like Ricardo Montalban to make him look taller.

Also, most of his female co-stars in the show wore ballet slippers or flat sandals. High heels were forbidden for Captain Kirk's love interests. Shatner was desperately trying to look at least 5ft11 in those days. Man, he almost exploded in rage. Had 3. Vindication at last! I said several years ago that Shatner was only about to when I met him at a movie premiere. Remember that Rob? Kind regards Supermun.

I bet liked being with Joan Collins who isn't very tall. He was always looking up to Spock. Looks shorter with the added weight. Kinda nasty guy, but funny.

This guy has always looked like a short pudgy guy to me. Monster heeled boots on "Star Trek". How tall was he when you met him? Please reply. This is an excellent picture to have considering how many different stories you hear about Shatner's height. How tall did he look to you? Also, Shatner looks a bit like Eric Clapton from the side. In a short take you see both of them standing straight next to each other and Shatner seems much shorter next to 6ft0.

He was probably 5ft8 or 5ft9 in the s without the heels and lifts? When he fights Sulu, they almost appear the same height. Takei was about 5'6", so was Koenig. Shatner doesn't appear more than a few hairs taller than either of them. Bones, get Jim on a diet. I am 5'6" and stood next to him -- he is as tall as my 5'9" father. I'd give more credence to the thought of him wearing a girdle, not lifts. Shatner, an unknown quantity and possible lift wearer, is shorter than James Spader, another unknown quantity and possible lift wearer.

What does that prove? And, since Shatner, legtimately isn't taller than to , is well known to be a lift wearer, etc. How anyone can watch Boston Legal, see Shatner many times inches shorter than Spade, and smaller than everyone in the cast, and still think he's 5'8", is beyond me.

He isn't 5' 6". He was at least inches taller than Heather Locklear. A lot of ppl like to shorten male celebs to the under region and they don't have the presence of mind to realize that under is 'chick height' because they are not thinking about females as they chip away at male celebs inch by inch. There are numerous comparisons with female celebs that can be made to prove a male celeb is not in that region. Whenever someone estimates under , I turn my attention away from male vs male comparisons.

Maybe taller ten years ago. William Shatner was the guest star on this particular episode. Although Shatner looked to be a couple of inches taller than Falk, he did joking say that he was wearing lifts.

It's just seems obvious to me. Someone who knows that Kirk aint that tall! Glenn what do you think? Nimoy is the one that really shrunk. He was tall when he was on Columbo with long limbs. He might be shorter than 5'8" but as far as the lbs - Absolutely! According to the costume crew, at 24 he was "slightly over 5'9" and about In Star Trek - about He's in excellent shape for a septagenerian.

Hence I don't think he's lost much height over time--he was medium height in Star Trek, and he still is medium height. I give him around 5'10", maybe 5'11".. The first season version had higher ca. Click Here This is an early image episode 6 in production order with both Shatner and Kelley wearing the season 1-type boots.

Kelley was 5'10" and those boots made him 6' tall. They are roughtly the same height which means Shatner is also 6' there. If DiFabrizio is correct which doesn't mean that he put 3" lifts into Shatner's boots, but that Shatner was overall 3" taller on the show then he is certainly 5'9" 6' minus 3 inches.

Or at least he was in those days. I dont know - I think he's 5'6" now, he's just too damn short on the show. My father being a physcian-- did guess Mr. Shatner's height at about 5'9" as he spoke to my 5'10 dad. Four decades have passed and Shatner is NOT 5'6"--maybe yoy want him to be I am sure we can have a good laugh Keep on Trekkin Don't forget, that he looks "bulky" and may appear shorter than he is.

NEVER 5'6 cm! He's always in sandals? Clark - think about your post. You're the one who told me to leave out his quirks, so I detailed they were more than quirks.

And, not just quirks, they lead to evidence of the guy wanting to be the biggest star on the show, and adding to the credibility that he wore lifts, just like DiFabrizio said. Why are you so adamant to defend his height?

He doesn't look taller than 5'6" on Boston Legal, half the time. That being said, I don't like him, but I think he is good on the show. So what if nobody liked him on the set, and that his behavior was un-menche, it still has nothing to do with his height. There is no denying that lately, he has been gaining a great deal of weight.

So is William Shatner fat and has he always been considered to be fat? During the shooting of the original Star Trek series, his weight ranged from pounds to pounds 77 Kg Kg.

After playing Hooker, William Shatner's went up and reached pounds Kg.

He had to exercise vigorously each time that he had to reprise his role in the Star Trek movies. While Willam Shatner is very successful now and he could afford a comfortable home, that was not always the case. After Star Trek was canceled there was a period when he could not find any good role and he had to settle for anything that comes his way. During that period, money was hard to come by and he lost his home. During that period, he had to live in a truck bed camper. It was not until he was able to land better roles that he was able to move out to a more comfortable place.
