I was six feet tall, my voice had dropped. I had facial hair, and I wasn’t young and black and cute no more. I was tall, and dark and handsome—and threatening.-- Bomb Magazine, 1992

Average Guess (112 Votes)Peak: 5ft 11.58in (181.8cm) Current: 5ft 11in (180.3cm) Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Sep/25Yeah he can look this today but always a possibility he may still creep a little over the 5ft11 mark if measured, like Travolta or Hanks….. 6ft peak is indisputable though and still can see the argument for a strong one in the 90’s. josh b said on 11/Aug/25Click Here My pic with Laurence, was a little taller than myself but has either lost quite a bit or was not a solid 6 footer to start with. Similar footwear, was struggling with Sean Pertwee this weekend. Think there are some photos of the two of them together.Editor RobAt his age he probably has shrunk an inch now. Slim1.75m said on 26/Aug/23I think Fishburne's lost height now Theodora said on 17/May/23It's funny watching him in Nightmare on Elm Street 3, because aside from 5'8 and a half Jennifer Rubin, everyone else in that movie is so much shorter than him: you got 5'3 and a half Heather Langenkamp, 5'1 and a half Patricia Arquette, and Craig Wasson, whom is not listed here, but I would guess is in the 5'6 to 5'7 range. So even though Laurence Fishburne is slouching through that whole movie, he still looks like a giant! Looking at his other movies, he's got a good two inches on Cuba Gooding, Jr. in Boyz N the Hood, closer to three on Kenneth Branagh in Othello, and is no more than an inch shorter than Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, so I'm comfortable calling him a strong 6'. Valeri said on 13/Apr/23looks much shorter than Keanu Reeves by nearly 3 inches nowadays. Sandy Cowell said on 9/Apr/23Laurence has starred in some fabulous stuff, Event Horizon and the TV series Hannibal among his highly commendable credits. What a star! 🌟 No less than 6ft. 🐇🐣 Abdulrahman said on 18/Feb/23182 cm. Heir of Darkness said on 19/Jan/23He looked like a solid 6 ft guy in Boyz n The Hood Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Aug/22Jake, in stuff like Boyz in The Hood, King of New York, Hoodlum etc. could pass for strong 6ft range more than weak. Nowadays looks a bit below this for sure, could be 5ft11½. I used to think he was Sam Jackson's height! Jake: 1.84 m- 1.85 m said on 7/Aug/22He could actually push for 6ft and a quarter in films like Event Horizon but looks 182 cm today. Miss Sandy Cowell said on 8/Apr/22That’s the height I guessed for Larry, or possibly a fraction less. When Mads and Larry have a ground-breaking fight, in which the whole room seems to shake, there is very little height difference. 6ft. Truthteller27 said on 8/Jan/22He was easily 6'0.5 in his prime but nowadays he's 5'11.5 out of bed on a good day. ADAM VARCO said on 5/Jul/216'.05" peak height 5'11.75" current height. He looks only slightly shorter than Keanu Reeves in the first 3 Matrix movies. Dom5'11.5 said on 21/May/21I always thought he was 183.5cm peak and current 181.6cm @alexiz/180cm All your guesses are overly downplayed majority of them are over that max range ALEXIZ/180cm said on 12/Apr/21181 cm max Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Mar/21Looked a decent enough 6ft in the 90's but today is looking a bit under it Eusebiu (185 cm) said on 22/Mar/21Since he is 60 years old, I believe some height loss might have occurred by now. Rob, what do you think, would this reflect the truth ? Peak: 183 cm Current: 182 cm Editor Robonce it gets to half inch loss I would think about current height, which for Laurence seems like it's possible... Patm said on 20/Mar/21Peak: 5ft11.75 Today: 5ft11 on the nose Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Jan/21I'm not sure if it's the weight gain but he's looking noticeably shorter Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Jan/21Rob, surely he's a bit less than this now? Editor Rob5ft 11.5 is probably last couple of years slim 6'1 said on 22/Jan/21Solid 182 Luci paura said on 18/Jan/21182cm exact. slim 6'1 said on 13/Jan/21Not the full 6’, reeves had him by about an inch who was 184.5 Canson said on 1/Jan/21His height is tough to determine. He did look 6’ in Boys in the Hood Slim 6'1" said on 31/Dec/20Probably same height as grant gustin peak 182.5 Slim 6'1" said on 24/Dec/20182cm keanu edged him by an inch putting him at 184.5 Fishburne is a weak 6’ weather as reeves is a weak 6’1” Slim 6'1" said on 19/Dec/20Agree below Fishburne is 182, reeves is 184 and weaving is 187 QM6'1QM said on 14/Dec/20I don't know, there is the solid one inch difference between Laurence and Reeves. Slim 6'1@ said on 3/Nov/20Legit 182cm like Patrick I adams FriedChicken said on 25/Oct/206 ft 0 in peak. 5 ft 11.5 in today maybe. Perhaps a peak and current listing now? He looks a smidge shorter compared to when he was younger. He's almost 60 years old. Slim 6'1" said on 3/Oct/20Averaging guess has him 182-182.5 prime Tall Sam said on 16/Sep/20Rob, possible that he has lost a little height? I think one could see him with maybe 0.5 inches less for him as he approaches 60. It's actually shocking how young he is, he has seemed like an older authority figure since way back in Boyz in da Hood and certainly so in The Matrix. Editor Rob5ft 11.5 today could be possible, I think a 1/4 inch lost anyway Slim 6'1" said on 7/Aug/20at least give him a grant gustin treatment 182.5 Slim 6'1" said on 7/Aug/20sam neill was 1-2mm under 183 yet underlisted at 5 11 75 yet laurence who was just 5 11 3/4 gets the full 6' listing. Slim 6'1" said on 5/Aug/20Another 182 listed at 6’ Slim 6'1" said on 5/Aug/20Same deal as Evans, nothing above 182cm Slim 6'1" said on 2/Aug/20Not 6’ more 181-182 Miss Sandy Cowell said on 30/Jul/20🎁🎊😄🎂 Happy Birthday Larry! 🎂😄🎊🎁 Wishing Laurence Fishburne a wonderful 59th Birthday. He must have been very young when he starred in 'Apocalypse Now'; it must have been one of his first films. One Christmas, I chased all over the place to find my boyfriend a copy of 'Event Horizon'. I was so impressed that I bought a copy for myself. I enjoyed his part in 'Hannibal', and remember the violent fight he had with Mads Mikkelsen. Both are powerfully- built men, and the sound effects on my boyfriend's big TV shook the whole living room! It's that fight which showed that Larry is a tiddly bit taller than Mads. My Birthday Guess for this fabulous actor is 6ft. 😁👍 ⭐ Talk about funny, fishy names, how about this one? 😀🐟 Among today's Birthdays, I came across a fellow called Stink Fisher, 🤦‍♂️ who celebrates his 50th birthday today. 😂🤣😂 I didn't half laugh....! 🎁🎊😄🎂🎁🎊😄🎂🎁🎊😄🎂🎁🎊😄🎂 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Jul/20Strong 6ft peak is possible. Kebapsever said on 12/Jul/20Strong 6’0 guy even in this day and age. Miss Sandy Cowell said on 20/Jun/20My word - that fight between Laurence and Mads in 'Hannibal'! 🤯 You could feel the room shaking simply by looking at your television, though I must add that I saw it on my bloke's large TV with speakers, so it was in stereo. It's quite frightening to see two large men having a fight, and these two meant business. They inflicted serious damage to one another. I'd say Larry is a 6-footer, and a strong one at that in more ways than one! 🤭🤕😤😡 heighteval said on 9/May/20Looks closer to 5'19-5'11 now. He's about the same height as Anthony Anderson in the show, "black-ish" Nik Ashton said on 20/Apr/20It’s interesting that he claimed to be 6’0” when he was in early adulthood! Jkiller said on 5/Mar/20Very close to 6'0, 182.5cm I'd say Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 9/Oct/19Rob, so current height how tall do you think Fishburne could be? Editor Rob5ft 11.5 today might well be what he measured... Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 18/Sep/19Cage is still a legit 6'0 guy but strange that Fishburne didn't seem quite shorter than Cage. Maybe Fishburne loosing posture nowadays plus some weight gain make him look close to 5'11 nowadays. Stand straight i guess he could be able to hit 5'11 3/4 max. Click Here Click Here Click Here berta said on 27/Jul/19he looked shorter than bill paxton in some b movie. But i cant really see him shorter than at worst 182,5 peak. he looked 6 feet. today he can sometimes look only 181 but that could be posture Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 20/Jul/19Click Here 3" shorter than 6'2 1/2 Lance Reddick. Peak 6'0 is fine but i never not think of he lost height since a deacade ago, because in the late 2000s he already began to look 5'11 1/2. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jul/19In the early 90’s looked 183-184cm Importer said on 15/Jul/19Peak Keanu Reeves : 184-185cm Peak Laurence Fishburne : 182-183cm Current Keanu Reeves : 183-184cm Current Laurence Fishburne : 181-182cm RichardSpain said on 21/May/19In my opinion he is 181 now maybe 182 young. But not six footer like he said...and claimed Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 25/Apr/19Maybe its time Rob need to decide a downgrade for Fishburne current height - 5'11.5". robson said on 7/Mar/19He is typical so-so 6'0 feet. He has tough build so he usaually looks bigger and taller but reality is he is the best case of strong 5'11 who wants to be claimed 6'0. Ps. Maybe in his youth he was full 6'0. Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 28/Oct/18Sorry for my previous comment. I mean Fishburne need a current and peak height. Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 24/Oct/18Rob, don't you think its time to downgrade Fishburne? Pierre said on 3/Sep/18Imo he looks easily 3 inches shorter than Samuel L.Jackson(listed 6"2') in the movie "School Daze".There is a scene "School Daze are you black?"inwhich they are very close one to the other.Don't know the shoes. In 2011 event(68 th Venice film) ,pictures "Laurence Fishburne/Matt Damon"=He looks just a little bit taller than Matt(1 inch?)or same height as Matt. Seb Thomas said on 5/Jul/18Rob - Check out the cast photo at the bottom of the article here: Click Here Not sure who is wearing lifts in the pic, but whatever the case he is sized up around Michael Douglas. Definitely needs a downgrade Editor RobFishburne can look at times 5ft 11, but 5 years ago he still looked 5ft 11.5 at least. Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 10/May/18I bet Gabriel Macht would look a full 184cm next to 182cm Fisburne and strange they're both listed at 6'0 everywhere. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Apr/18Peak: 183.4cm Today: 182.1cm berta said on 10/Apr/18strong 184 weak 185 keanu reeves had 2 cm on him on all photos. he wasnt more than at best 183 peak.. today i dont really think he look taller than at most 182. could be legit 181 today Patrick01 said on 26/Mar/18How come Laurence Fishburne and Gabriel Macht are both listed at 6ft, when Gina Torres can look noticeably taller in heels next to Fishburne. Gabriel Macht looks always a bit taller next to Gina Torres when she is even in big heels. Editor RobFishburne's posture is a bit looser, but I think he probably has lost a bit of height by now. Junior Hernandez said on 2/Feb/18I think Fishburne already began to stand no taller than 5'11 7/8 on the PR photo with wife Torres. Gnaw said on 23/Oct/17My boy Morpheus losin height. Peak was definitely 6 foot now he shrink half inch. No longer 6 foot club. Morpheus took an L. Slim said on 4/Sep/17Rob, he's 56, you should put 6' glory days and 5'11.7" today. A quarter inch loss is even being generous tbh. Editor Rob he probably has lost a small fraction... Spencer said on 28/Aug/17He looked 6'0.5 in Mystic River. 6'0.25 peak maybe Slim 181 cm said on 12/Jul/17Strong 6'0 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Jun/17Peak: 183.8cm Today: 182.3cm Valhalla said on 8/Jun/17One of the only actors who are honest about their heights however do you think he would've looked 27 at 17? That's a pretty far fetch say huh rob? Editor Rob he could have looked in his mid 20's at 18 Mark(5'9.25") said on 3/May/17I would rule out 185 cm. He was edged out by Keanu Reeves and Henry Cavill. Click Here Click Here Richardspain said on 1/May/17He is 183 cm or 6 ft but he looks 185cm even more. Mark(5'9.25 said on 30/Apr/17Strong 6 footer like 6'0.25" peak. heading to 5'11.5" now. However, sub 5'11' is a fantasy. Flyin said on 21/Apr/17Just seen passengers, might be down to 5'11 and change?, thoughts Rob?. Editor Rob yeah 5ft 11.5 range today is entirely believable. berta said on 19/Apr/17i thought he looked like a almost 184 guy in the 90`s but in reality i think he was barely 6 foot and today he was half inch shorter than paxton for example. i think he could be donw to 181. 2 cm loss already probably GP said on 12/Apr/17I'm posting here 2nd time within a week and hopefully Rob lets this post show since my posts don't show up lot of times for some reason. He can't be 6" when he was over an inch shorter than Mikkelsen in Hannibal. He has possibly lost a cm, and I think he was closer to 5'11" at peak than 6". During Matrix premieres he always looked 1.5" shorter than Keanu who looked close to 2" shorter than Weaving who is a legit 6'2". S.J.H said on 20/Mar/17@Jason If you were telling truth then keanu reeves would be low as 5'11. I did think fishburne was at least 5'10.5 to claim 6'0 and keanu reeves maybe 5'11.5 but 5'9 for fisburne that would make reeves 5'10 it sounds like a complete joke. Jason said on 18/Feb/17I met him and was around him for quite a while when he was in town around 2005ish. He bought some stuff from my friends store. I was actually shocked how short he is as he is always shot in films looking taller. I am 5'11' he was no taller than 5' 10" my friends all had a conversation about it at the time. Really nice guy at first impression. But if I made a guess i would say 5'9" according to memory. Sam said on 15/Feb/17Rob, could you add Apocalypse Now, The King of New York, Othello, Mystic River and the TV show Black-ish to his credits? Sandy Cowell said on 14/Feb/17This guy is in some fantastic stuff! I should think he's a very interesting person to meet. I knew he was around the 6ft mark because he's the same height as Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal and when they fight, you can see that neither has a height advantage. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jan/17I think 183/184cm peak. berta said on 21/Jan/17a guy that in opld movies could look strong 6 footer but today looks 182 at best. i think peak 6 foot and a weak 182 guy now Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Dec/16Need to add more to that line...What's Love Got To Do With It, Mystic River, Apocalypse Now, 21, Hoodlum, Othello and Assault on Precinct 13 Flyin said on 7/Dec/16I'm thinking a mighty 182cm as well. Seems the proportion of the strong 5'11 or about 6ft type Scott said on 22/Nov/16I'd say he definitely was 6' tall in his youth. These days, I would put him at a shade under: 5'111/2'' to be specific. Ajax said on 11/Nov/16No way he ia 6ft anymore... watch the latest episode of Blackish, and you'll see he has maybe an inch on 5 ft 9 Anthony Anderson. Even giving him another generous inch for bad posture, I just don't see him hitting the 6ft mark these days. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Oct/16He had a leaner look in the 80's-90's. Looked a strong 6fter. Can look barely 5ft11 these days josh jeffords said on 11/Oct/16Larry must have shrunk and gained weight he had a completeley different build in the 80s he looked much taller. I forget Apoc but King of NY he has lots of time on camera in his prime or at least youth. He looked big in dress shoes in assault on precinct coulda been inflated.. berta said on 8/Oct/16was he really taller than bill paxton, hm mayhbe he was 183 when he was young but i feel that he is maybe a weak 182 guy these days? Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Jul/16He looked a good few inches shorter than Jackson Shredder said on 29/Jun/16He didn't look 5'9 I always thought 5'11 ish for him. Mike said on 27/Jun/16He's too high, he looked no more than 5'9" in the movie "School Daze" compared to peak 6'2" Samuel L Jackson. Nev said on 27/Jun/16Laurence appeared to be only 3 inches taller than Tika Sumpter (5'6.5") in the movie Ride Along. So he definitely under 5'10". Heylo said on 21/Jun/16Brad Pitt looked 2 inches taller than him in 1996 on some kind of Award show... k said on 12/Jun/16I'm 5 ft 9 inches tall. Ran into Fishbourne 2 years ago in toronto and he's shorter than me. Had a face to face conversation with him. There is no way he's 6 ft. Just saying. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/May/16Rob, which of these would Fishburne have measured at peak? A) 186cm/184cm B) 185.5cm/183.5cm C) 185cm/183cm D) 184.5cm/182.5cm E) 184cm/182cm Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Apr/16Agreed. He's not quite looking 6ft these days. james said on 25/Apr/16He needs to be downgraded to 5'11.5 today johnp said on 29/Nov/15Saw Laurence on the Jay Leno's Garage Show November 29, 2015, same height as Jay, probably 5' 10 or what ever Jay is. James Edward Crowley Maximus Meridius said on 8/Oct/15Hey Rob i have heard the filming of Apocalypse Now started in 1976 is this true Laurence Fishburne must have been a late bloomer he could have gone through a growth spurt around 1978 when he was 17 he was 14 when filming started and 18 when filming ended is it possible the filming could have been put on hold for 3 years Laurence Fishburne was going through a period of time where his body was changing very quickly he must have had a big growth spurt during the filming of Apocalypse Now he must went from 5ft 3in too 6ft 0in in like 1 year is it possible too grow 9 inches in 1 year. Editor Rob not sure how tall Laurence was in the film, been a long while since I watched it or can even remember if you could compare height in it. But a lot of guys in 17-18 range can still grow a bit...it is no surprise actors in that range grow... Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jul/15Rob, could you ban Andrea? 184.3cm (Night) said on 15/Jul/15I actually thought he was 5'11 range (181-182). Must be quite a broad guy. Andrea said on 14/Jul/15The story of your life, Rampage... Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Jul/15He's a lot shorter than I had imagined... james said on 3/Apr/15In man of steel .6'1 henry cavill looked about 2 inches taller than "6'0" fishburne..I'd say hes 5'11.5 CDS said on 5/Mar/15On last night's episode of TV's "Black-ish", looked only about an inch taller than 5'10" Beau Bridges. As I had always suspected- Fishburne is not quite 6'; closer to 5'11" (actually, in the Beau Bridges thread, I had him at 5'8"-9"; but now am thinking of upgrading him! LOL) Tim1.79 said on 22/Feb/15Looked about 1 inch shorter than 6'1" Keanu Reeves. Accurate listing Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jan/15Rob, in this interview he more or less claims 6ft1. Specifically how at 16 when shooting Apocalypse Now, he was almost his full height Click Here Editor Rob tricky one because sometimes an interview will just have put a height after the bit saying 'full height', I'm not sure he'd have stopped mid sentence and said the six foot one. Mike said on 3/Dec/14I doubt he lost more than 1/2. 6ft 0-0.25 peak and 5ft 11.75 today. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Nov/14He could be very well be on his way down toward 5ft11½(182cm) now at 53 but sub-5ft11 you can definitely throw out the window. He wasn't under 6ft in the 90's. Boyz in The Hood, What's Love Got To Do With It and Fled are movies where I'd argue closer to 6ft0½(184cm). GP said on 10/Nov/14Rob, the 6'0" listing doesn't make sense at all. He looked 1-2 inches shorter than Mikkelsen in Hannibal, the tv show. I'm not sure on his peak height but nowadays he isn't more than 179, most likely lower Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Nov/14He's terribly hunched nowadays and he's heavier but straightened out he can still look near 6ft. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Oct/14Rob, maybe a hair over 6ft in his 20s-30s? Editor Rob it is possible, looking at him today he does seem like he is a candidate for a bit of loss in the upper back area. Judd said on 11/Oct/14Not sure about him. In the first chapter of matrix there's a scene where he fight against Keanu reeves. They're both barefeet and Fishburne doesn't look more than 1" below Keanu' s height. He looks 6' also next to sean connery, but in mystic river he doesn't look a full 6' next to Kevin bacon (5'10-10.5") in few scenes... I think he was 6'0" in 90's and in the first years of 00's, but today 5'11.5" is likely... mike said on 5/Oct/14LOL I meant to say Mads can look a little taller sometimes. Editor Rob I was watching a recent b movie with laurence, 'colony', in a few scenes with bill paxton he could look near and then under his height! mike said on 2/Oct/14Rob, can you add his role in Hannibal? really good show! He looks about the same height as Mads Mikkelsen maybe a little bit tallet? Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Sep/14Looked 184-185cm in Boyz N The Hood and What's Love Got To Do With It berta said on 31/Jul/14my father same age as fishbournehasnt shrunk a mm my uncle is 62 hastn shrunk anything my mother 59 hasnt shrunk anything my grandmother 90 years have shrunk 5 cm. Hard to believe fushburne have shrunk anything . He is an actor that hastn used his body at all he probably shrink when he is 60 mike said on 28/Jun/14Laurence Fishburne height's is 5ft 11.75in (182 cm) Peak height was 6ft 0.25in (184 cm) he looks identical with Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal, but in his early career he did look 6ft 0-6ft 0.5. Hypado said on 26/Jun/14Laurence Fishburne PEAK: 183/184cm NOW: 182/183cm mike said on 18/Jun/14maybe he's 5ft 11.75 now? Arch Stanton said on 30/Apr/14Has he lost any? He's knocking on now isn't he. It's difficult to believe under 6 ft peak anyway. Editor Rob he seems like he might have shed a bit, definitely has a kind of hunchier appearance. BoboAshanty said on 30/Apr/14181-182cm maybe right Sam said on 19/Mar/14Actually, though they generally seem about the same, Fishburne sometimes seems to get edged out by Mikkelsen. It's possible that Fishburne's more 5'11.5" than the full six foot. Click Here cole said on 10/Mar/14I'd say 182 cm is fine after watching Hannibal recently. Seemed more or less equal to Mads Mikkelsen. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/14Reeves is 6ft1 or thereabouts roughly. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Aug/13Jeff Goldblum was a solid 6ft4.5 peak and could pass for 6ft5 often. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Aug/13Looking in the 5ft11 range a lot because he put on so much weight. Must be about 230lbs minimum. But, in the 90s when he was leaner, he looked a strong 6ft "Peak height was 6ft 0.5in (184cm)" "Laurence Fishburne's height is 6ft 0in (183cm)" He didn't look over 6ft with Keanu Reeves, I will admit. But, I think he began to bulk up around that time. Jiminy said on 1/Aug/13Just walked past him in downtown Toronto. He's about 5'10". Phantom said on 21/Jul/13No more than 5'11" today. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Jun/13Might've been 6"0.25'(184cm) in his 20s and 30s. Didn't he claim 6"1'? I don't know. He's definitely not an average height man. QB said on 22/Jun/13He's probably under 5'10" barefoot. Check out this pic with Gina Torres who is listed at 178 cm. Scroll down for the full-res pic, you can clearly tell that both of them are wearing flats and Torres is noticeably taller: Click Here Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jun/13Reeves isn't 186cm except maybe in the morning. But this guy could look a strong 6"0' when he was younger. Since he's heavier now, maybe he can look closer to 5"11'? nick said on 8/Apr/13i think keanu reeves is 6ft flat lawerence fishbourne is 5"11 and a half Ud190.5cm said on 7/Apr/13hey rob, I saw deep cover the other night and what i've noticed that jeff goldblum towered over this guy if he's 6 then jeff was definitely looking 6'5. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Dec/12What made you downgrade him? Editor Rob i think 6 foot on the nose was near enough Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Dec/12Ok, minimum 182cm. But Rob, didn't he originally start out here at 184cm? Editor Rob in 2006 6ft 0.25 yeah cabMANiac said on 16/Nov/12His wife is always taller than him and she says she is 5'11" but is more like 6'3-4" especially in heels James said on 10/Nov/12More chance he is 182cm than 184cm. Keanu reeves who us 184-185cm had a good 1 lunch on him. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Oct/12Is 184cm possible, Rob? Editor Rob doubt it Silent d said on 22/Oct/12CaptainSpaulding the movie is just cause. 181cm. Shaun said on 29/Sep/12Walken looked a bit taller than Fishburne in that film I think. Something is wrong as they didn't all look the same height. Shaun said on 29/Sep/12Odd but in Kings of New York Walken, Caruso and Fishburne really don't look the exact same height. I think Caruso looked taller than both. Walken can look more 5 ft 11 even with his high hair. I vaguely recall Keanu Reeves edged him out though. Jake: 1.82 m-- 1.83 m-- 1.84 m said on 30/Aug/12Rob, is 5ft 11.5 possible? Editor Rob possibly today he can look that range Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Aug/12I thought he could maybe look just over 6ft in Boyz in Da Hood. Cranberries said on 17/Aug/12Watching this guy next to Kevin Bacon in Mystic River... Laurence looks about an inch taller, but he is MUCH larger framed. Fishburne's arms are several inches longer than Bacon's and Fishburne's shoulders are a few inches wider. I would wager Fishburne is 5'11.5", 230, but with a massive frame. CaptainSpaulding said on 12/Aug/12I seen him looking at least 3 inches shorter then 6'2" Sean Connery in some mid 90s movie. I don't think he's 6 feet. BigT said on 30/Jul/12No more than 180 cm today, sometimes appears closer to 178-179 cm. obvious said on 13/Jun/12keanu is 6'1 steven said on 19/Jan/12he look 5'11. Hugo Weaving no way 6'2 but a strong 6'1 and Keanu Reeves 5'11.5 Giraffe said on 2/Nov/11Click Here Click Here Hugo 6'2 Keanu 5'11.5 Laurence 5'10.5 bowel said on 1/Nov/116ft 2 thats crazy then reeves mustebe 6ft3and weaving 6fft4 he loooks like 5ft11. 25 next to damon ali said on 7/Sep/11he look me 6'1-6'2 in matrix gary said on 23/Aug/11he looks 5ft 11 next to keanu reeves whos 6ft Dmeyer said on 18/Aug/11In pics hé CAN look 5'10 but i steel think 6' NYCGuy said on 29/Jul/11Met him and had a 10 minute conversation with him. Really nice guy, no shorter than 5'11" Josh B said on 1/Jun/11Listed at 6"1 in CSI. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/May/11Is there a chance he's that talk, Rob? Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/May/11Rob what was FishbUrne originally listed here as? Editor Rob in 2005-6 6ft 0.25 I think SolidSnake said on 21/Mar/11Yeh he's pretty solid. Looks like a good 220 Pounds in CSI. Makes the others appear real small heightwise and sizewise Aaron said on 9/Mar/11He's "squashed in appearance" because he has a short neck. I've noticed West and Central African people tend to have shorter necks as well, which creates the illusion of broadness and robustness. I'd say 6ft, 230 lbs at his heaviest, 200 lbs in Event Horizon and 210 in The Matrix. JackD said on 25/Feb/11I pased him on the street several years ago in NYC and was surprised to see he was 5'10 at most. SolidSnake said on 17/Feb/11wasnt he listed as 6'0.5' here once if i remember correctly. 6 looks right compared to the 6'1 reeves in the matrix as there was always a slight difference NYCGuy said on 19/Dec/10Hansie: You say he was 5'6" at the Starbucks? What!? You must have been drunk that day. I've met him, talked to him for 10 minutes. he's a solid 5' 11" almost 6' Guaranteed. Will said on 20/Nov/10Fishburne is 5'11 3/4". Hugh 190cm said on 18/Jun/09Reeves 186cm, fishbourne 182-183cm and weaving 188-189cm. Lenad said on 2/Jun/09He's nothing above 6ft0 Mathew said on 17/May/09He took a picture with a friend of mine who is 5'7.5". Compared to my friend, he didn't look more than 4" taller. Lenad said on 15/May/09I'd say a weak 6ft0 yoyo said on 4/May/09Here's what I think better ans than Hugh below. :Keunu Reeves 190cm(with Big lifts in Matrix)barefoot 183cmLarry Fishburne 188cm(Smaller lifts than Keanu in Matrix)barefoot 182cmHugo Weaving 187.5cm(1inch shoe lift in Matrix)barefoot 184cm Josh.J said on 16/Apr/09keanu has an inch on him in the matrix. its lawrence's bulk that make him look bigger then he actually is. Hugh 190cm said on 24/Mar/09Jeff Goldblum is at least 6ft4 and possibly taller. And since your saying Fishbourne is 4 inches taller than puts him at 6ft-6ft0.5. Alex2401 said on 20/Mar/09I think Fishburne is 5'11 - 5'11.5'' range.In "Deep Cover" he was 4 inch shorterthan Jeff Goldblum.Solid 5'11 but not 6'0. Complex said on 10/Dec/08He was virtually the same height as Kevin Bacon in Mystic River, maybe a tad taller. Hugh said on 13/Oct/08I think Daniels has lost a little height. He's more 189cm these days. Hugh said on 12/Oct/08Here's what I thinkKeunu Reeves 186cmLarry Fishburne 183-184cmHugo Weaving 189cm Hugh said on 9/Oct/08Not sure He did look near to Keanu Reeves and was less than 2 inches shorter than Hugo Weaving. Hugh said on 13/Sep/08legit 6ft. Daii said on 6/Aug/08hes stocky, he is probably 6'0 but no more, maybe an inch less Mr. R said on 31/Jul/08He tends to hunch a lot when he stands. I have seen him several times in New York and LA, and he may be a little shorter than this. George said on 31/Jul/08Yeah No way he's 6'0. I'm 6'5 and i saw him in a play and when we stood up i was standing well below the stage and we were the same height. John said on 28/Jul/08As with my comment about Bill Murray,Fishburne is surprisingly small. I'm 6'1" and could easily see the top of his head when I stood next to next. I'd put him at no more than 5'9" Hugh said on 5/Jun/08Looks 184ish. NYC theatregoer said on 3/May/08I didn't say he was "nice," a lot of people can seem "nice" and are anything but. What I actually said was, he is a gracious gentleman..there's a big difference. I was just one of dozens of people that he saw that night and he didn't know me at all. He was still a gentleman. I've met plenty of actors, stars included, that might smile, shake your hand, pose for a picture, but still make you feel like they'd rather be anywhere else. Maybe that's your experience with Mr. Fishburne, when you're trying to pose for a picture with him on the street, but it wasn't my experience nor was it any of the people I was with. Besides, how could you possibly know how the man acts "most of the time"? Do you stalk him constantly? glenn said on 30/Apr/08in his dressing room.of course he is gonna be nice there.he isnt elsewhere most of the time. glenn said on 30/Apr/08no doubt rob.i undertstand.delete now.i might post he is a piece of ****.sorry if i stressed you.lol. NYC theatregoer said on 29/Apr/08Just met Laurence tonight after his Broadway show Thurgood (he was excellent). In fact, met him in his dressing room backstage. I chatted with him close up and shook his hand. He was wearing flat slippers, no boots, lifts, etc. and was at least 5'11", if not 6 ft. And also a true gentleman, very gracious. Jacka G said on 19/Dec/07This is a little bit of a gift, he's closer to 5'11". Another bit of info,I also meet Keanu Reeves in LA just after he finished the Replacements. We had on the same type of shoes and we were exactly the same height,I am exactly 6', hope this helps Kid-Icarus said on 29/Nov/07If you watch Deep Cover, you can see his profile and it states he is 6'. That looks pretty much it. redrum said on 11/Sep/07He wasn't taller than Sam Neil in Event Horizon. They were the same height: 6' sleuth said on 21/Dec/06The first time I ever saw Samuel L Jackson in a movie was the 1988 Spike Lee joint "school daze" in which he looks over 4" taller than Laurence Fishburne. dmeyer said on 13/Dec/06so glenn and frank both agree 6 ft so he is TNTinCA said on 19/Oct/06Look at scenes of him next to 6'1" Keanu. He is obviously close to the same height. At least 6 feet tall. theinformer said on 18/Oct/06Wow! Some of you people really get me mad...how can he be 5'8...that would make Cuba like 5'6. You really need to take care of that Napoleon complex...why are you hating on tall people? Glenn said on 21/Sep/06Laurence is 6ft.Cuba is 5-9. Derek said on 20/Sep/06He looked 6'1" in Boyz in Da Hood in 1991. That is if Cuba Gooding Jr. is 5'10". Jordan said on 19/Sep/06he was 2 inches shorter then sean connery who some clame is a solid 6'2 kenneth said on 13/Sep/06don't think his 184.. 178tall kevin bacon stand next to him seen 3cm shorter.. i'l' gave Lawrence Fishburne 181 or maybe 182.. Val said on 31/Aug/06cmon..rob look at the photo with andy garcia...it's impossible for him to be 184...he's is nowhere near adrien brody or 185 pierce brosnan. david said on 14/Jul/06I saw Lawrence walk by on the street years ago on the upper west side of Manhattan. He was walking slowly with a beer in a paper bag. He was wearing a kind of lavender-colored leather suit and checking out a pretty girl who walked by him. he really looked like he was about 6' or thereabouts. I'm just under 6' so I was trying to gauge his height and I respected that he was truly tall not a fraud actor. Jordan said on 26/Jun/06I think he is 5'11 MIN and 6'0 1/2 MAX Mr. R said on 25/Jun/06Last week, I met Laurence for the thrid time. He does tend to slouch a bit, but he is about the same height as I, so I will give him 5'11.5". MOF said on 23/Jun/06Fishburne was an inch smaller than Sam Neill in Event Horizon, or at least about 2cm smaller and Neill is listed as 6'0 which looks right. David said on 13/Jun/06I agree with Taylor. I was SHOCKED at how "un"-tall Fishburne is in person. I am 6'1.5" and he was definitely shorter than me. I don't know if he is as short as 5"8", but he is definitely not a "tall" person. Height Detective said on 31/May/06Andy Garcia and Fishburne Click Here Taylor said on 11/May/06Okay, a random guy with the driver's license identifying himself as Laurence Fishburne? All I can tell you is what I saw and eye to eye contact wasn't it. Glenn said on 8/May/06Youll see us at war in Matrix 4.he usually ignores you. Frank2 said on 7/May/06Glenn's correct. Glenn said on 6/May/06He is 6ft. leonari said on 5/May/06TAYLOR: Thats totally absurd and ridiculous to say the least. Fishburn is a tall man. It's so obvious. You saw a random guy who has a similar face. 5'8" for Fishburn...LOL! Some people are creating their own little reality: You my friend are one of 'em Taylor said on 4/May/06This is so, so, so, not true. I'm just barely 5'10" and when I met Laurence Fishburne, I had to look down. He's about 5'8". I met him at a Circuit City, he probably didn't wear his lifts that night. Jason said on 25/Apr/06Plus as well as that. It also said he was 6 in the profile of himself on Deep Cover. andrew said on 16/Mar/06i just watched the movie Deep Cover next to 6'4" Jeff Goldblum i would say Fishburne is 6 feet tall. Height Tracker said on 7/Feb/06In Red Heat, Laurene Fishburne looked around the same height or slightly shorter than 5'11" Jim Belushi. I'd say 5'11" is the correct height for him. CelebHeights Editor said on 6/Oct/05Interview Magazine 1995: "When I came back I was six feet tall; I had been hanging out with Vietnam veterans. I was seventeen and looked twenty-seven" Mario Nariano said on 27/Sep/05That's funny bernar I watched that movie last night and fishburne looked 2 cm taller than Sam Neill. bernar said on 26/Sep/05im watching event horizont in that moment. i cant understand why 6feet sam neil is taller than 6feet 0.25inches fishburne. winona said on 6/May/05I met him many years ago (back when he was making Cadence). If I had to venture a guess I'd go with the 6 foot mark, but I'm not the best judge, I'm on 5'2" ;) Big Dave said on 8/Apr/05I would say that he is around 181-182cm tall. He looked almost as tall as Sam Neill in Event Horizon. In fact, he looked the same size in one particular scene. I think that he is about a cm shorter listed above. Chris said on 4/Apr/05A friend of mine was working on the set of Mystic River. He said Fishbourne is max 5'11''. A little bit taller than Kevin Bacon. Anonymous said on 24/Mar/05I was watching "What's Love Got To Do With It?", the other night. Fisburne truly is 5'11". He was barely taller than the petite Angela Bassett when she had her heels on. Yet another actor who knows how to manipulate his height well. Mr R said on 14/Feb/05He carries himself taller, but I saw him in New York at the Tony Awards, and I saw him in LA at the Osmosis Jones premiere, and walked past him - he is 5'11" at best.
