Average Guess (26 Votes)5ft 8.03in (172.8cm) AshWilliams said on 19/Jan/26At 9:00 and for a couple of seconds you can see Kurt Cobain and Chris Farley talking Click Here Does this confirm or change anything height wise with either of them Rob? 20 years ago I talked to Kurt's aunt for 3 hours (two 1.5h talks) and I managed to sneakily ask her how tall he was and she said 5'8 which is her height also.Editor RobFor me, it looked like Cobain was taller than Chris. Awesomeness said on 12/Jun/25We need an image for both Chris Farley and John Candy Rob John moss said on 29/Dec/21Yeah this is right Alex 6'0 said on 27/Nov/215'8 296 he was examined at his death. 5'8 max. 225-230 during tommy boy? No way that low lol Yang (5 footer 8, 173, Aries) said on 21/May/20Big stocky and heavy dude with my height range.. R.I.P Chris Farley Matt Marsden said on 31/Oct/19Never realized Farley was this height. 5'8" and no less Rising - 174 cm said on 19/Nov/18@Daniel: Swayze was much taller than Farley, but they didn't have the same shoes. Swayze had big Cuban heels while Farley's shoes looked flat. Daniel7777 said on 22/Feb/18Just watched the SNL Chippendales skit, and I'm kinda wondering if either Patrick Swayze was much taller than 5' 10" or if Farley was closer to 5' 5"... They both appear to be wearing the same shoes, and Farley looks 4 to 5 inches shorter than Swayze. JJStyles said on 3/Jan/18yep that's chris farley alright R.I.P MIKESOWELL said on 19/Aug/17I remember writing on here years ago that around the time Farley was filming Tommy Boy, Chris looked around 225 to 230 pounds. I was told that was ridiculously low. His brother seems to verify that estimate. Chris was 296 pounds when he died, but he may have been heavier around the time he hosted SNL on October 25, 1997. Will said on 3/Aug/16His death certificate says he weighed 296 lbs. His brother speculated he weighed about 225 when he did Tommy Boy, at a time when he had been sober for at least a year. Andy said on 29/May/16Rob, don't you think he could probably be closer to 350lbs at the time of hs death? He looked morbidly obese Editor Rob I suppose it isn't impossible Eric said on 3/Apr/16I'd give him 5'7 or 5'7 1/4. But since he was husky, he looked shorter in general. But he was significantly taller than David spade in Tommy boy. So 5'7 or just above it seems about right. Matthew said on 30/Jan/16What about his brothers Kevin and John Farley? I would estimate Kevin to be about 5'10 and John around the 6'1 range. Here's a picture with them and 6'1 Tom Arnold Click Here JB said on 26/Apr/14Always wondered how tall he was. Sometimes he looked about average and other times he looked short. Made worse by the fact that he rarely if ever stood up strait and his weight. 5'8" seems to make the most sense. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Oct/13"Chris Farley's height is 5ft 7.5in (171cm)" As mentioned below, Swayze looked at least 3in taller than him on the Chippendales skit. Phil Hartman (was around 5ft10-10.5) was always about 3in taller than him. Sandler easily had more than 2in on him aswell (is 5ft10 rather than 5ft9.5). Add Chris Rock to that list aswell Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Oct/13"Chris Farley's height is 5ft 7.5in (171cm)" As mentioned below, Swayze looked at least 3in taller than him on the Chippendales skit.

He looks 4 inches shorter to 5'10 Robin Shou in Beverly Hills Ninja Shortish86 said on 13/Nov/11I thnk he was 5'7.5 at best. john said on 1/Jan/11Patrick - 5'-10" Chris - 5'-8" Bouncer said on 7/Jan/095'8 in height and 296 pounds in weight were the exact words of the medical examer after his death, why should he lie? MIKESOWELL said on 7/Jan/09Farley looked to me to be about 5 foot 8.5 inches tall and his weight in his prime (1992-96) was about 230-250 lbs with a dip in '95 to like maybe 225. Look at Farley in Billy Madison, especially when he took his shirt off. He wasn't that fat. By 1997 however he was grossly bloated and his SNL appearance he was about 290 or so. Had a dangerously large belly. A photo of him in a People's magazine in November 1997 scared me senseless. His stomach was hanging SO LOW. Dead a month later. RIP. D. Ray Morton said on 22/May/08Any word on a photo? Heightdetective said on 27/Apr/085ft 8 is just right. At the time on his death the medical examer said: "Farley was 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighed 296 pounds."Great actor, RIP chris175 said on 22/Feb/08yeah richard, i sort of thought that too, he is a strong 5-8, could have been 5-9 rip chris Chris said on 2/Jan/085'7ish hes only about an inch or 2 taller then spade in Black Sheep which i am watching right now RICHARD said on 14/Jul/07I had know idea he was only 5'8. He looked taller like 5'10 to me. RIP Chris Ancient aztec guy said on 5/Jul/07Farley had to be at least three inches taller than Spade. He Hollered a lot in his movies. That was hilarious. Anonymous said on 3/Jul/07I was watching "Tommy Boy" today. Spade must be like no more than 5'5"... glenn said on 12/Mar/07yeah,i thought i sent this. Danimal said on 11/Mar/07Glenn, you met Farley? glenn said on 11/Mar/07great guy too. Danimal said on 10/Mar/07Patrick Swayze had about 2" on him in their famous Chippendale skit on SNL and Swayze was 5'10" at that time (early 90's). It's said that died at around 300 pounds or very close to it. trueheight said on 10/Mar/07he was at least 3in taller than Spade in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep - great ensemble. Also 3in shorter than Rob Lowe in TB Anonymous said on 16/Jan/07He was a friend of mine and I don't think he was only 5'8" - I'm 5'7" and he never seemed that close to my height. I'm a girl so my heels were always taller than his, and I wasn't looking him right in the eye. Danimal said on 10/Aug/06No, he was 5'8". Viper652 said on 10/Aug/06To me he looked taller than 5-8. Glenn said on 10/Aug/06Great guy.5-8 to 5-8.5. Sam said on 9/Aug/06Yeah he was problably a good 5'8. His size in spirit though was way bigger. Matt said on 10/Jun/06Yeah, he was not very tall. He always looked a little shorter then Sandler. 5'8 sounds about right mcfan said on 25/Apr/06Last night I saw his biography on A&E and they said he was 5'9 -- Maybe with his sneakers on. Jody said on 29/Dec/05I would agree totally with this. He was a big fella too. 175cm16andgrowing said on 2/Dec/05I didn't know he died... but the 300lbs and 5'8'' seem about right.
