So I stumbled upon this website like, idk, a month ago while trying to figure out how tall Matt Damon is. Don't even remember what sparked my curiosity. Anyway, I kept the tab open thinking I'd tell you guys about this weird message board but never got around to it. Tonight's the night.
For those of you who are as passionate about height as I am and those of you who are state fair carney height guessers, you probably shouldn't even click this link because you'll just become permanent posters there, leaving no time for gE:
https://www.celebheights.com/s/Matt-Damon-134.htmlFor those of you who are recently unfrozen cavemen, Matt Damon is an American actor, best known for starring as Jason Bourne in The Bourne series, and for roles in Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Good Will Hunting and The Departed. Matt himself said of his height, "I'm 5'10." in a MoviesOnline.ca interview and in 2013 an Autograph Hunter claimed that Damon told him: "I'm 5-10.5, maybe 5-11 if I totally stretch out".
In The Sun newspaper, when talking about Courage Under Fire he did mention that height: "A doctor told me later I could have shrunk my heart permanently. I am 5ft 11in and went down to 135lbs from my usual weight, between 173lb and 176lbs. It didn't do me any good." He also mentioned in 2016 "I weigh probably 190 pounds right now, and I weighed 139 in [Courage Under Fire]."
Some of the thousands and thousands of user-submitted comments from fellow height enthusiasts, most of whom have usernames that list their own personal heights:

@TallSam
Completely agree. He's a minimum of 5'9.25 but nothing over 5'9.75. 5'9.5 seems the most likely imo.

What’s the difference between Affleck and Damon?
I think 10-10.5cm
MaximusPrime said on 16/Sep/21
If he was 177 [cm] going to sleep would he be acceptable to say 5’10 seeming it’s close enough and he’s only that short at his lowest?
Tall Sam said on 5/Sep/21
I would say the odds are he’s either 176 or 177 cm, I don’t think he’s any shorter than that, or taller.

Quite agree with 177cm.

I didn't find him short in The Talent of Mr. Ripley, but rather average. IMO, a short man is at least 5 cm shorter than the average height of a country and a tall man is at least 5 cm taller than the average height of a country. Matt Damon is 177 cm tall. If the average height for men in the USA is roughly 178 cm, and Damon is American, it means he is an American of average height.

A weak 177 cm.

Usually looks 5’9.25 - 5’9.5” but can look a full 5’10” at times. I’ll give him 5’9.5”.

179 range out of bed with 176.5-177 before bed 👍

This here is the problem to why 5’11 guys are being billed as just average or maybe even short, it’s because a lot of 5’9 and change men out there are claiming to be 5’11 and that’s what gives the perception that 5’11 is just average or short.
Take for example Brett Gardner of the Yankees some sites have him as being 5’11 I’ve seen one even as low as 5’9 but if you see him playing you can clearly see that he’s not 5’11.

175 cm max

Hi Rob,
The Average Guess has now dipped below 5' 9.5"
Time to reconsider his listing?
Or do you think the 5' 9.75" is the lowest you can see him at?

I'd agree with Rampage that 5'9" flat is too low, although he could look that short at times and even struggle with the mark next to 5'7" Christoph Waltz. I wouldn't rule out just a 1/4" over 5'9", though as Grant Heslov is listed that and Damon didn't look much different: tinyurl.com/ul70cj3q This shows they both had pretty thin sneakers: tinyurl.com/5shhtf9l Damon does look about 176 cm a lot. I'd guess there's a better chance of him measuring that over 177 though my money would still be on right in between.

Damon claiming 5'10.5" at least 3 times tells me he likely measured that in shoes meaning 5'9.25" or 5'9.5" (more likely 5'9.5".) He might be 5'10.5" if Affleck was really 6'3.5". Actually, seeing this photo, I understand why Damon upgraded Affleck to 6'4"! Click Here Or even this still from the video in which Damon claimed 5'10.5" after Affleck called him short: Click Here
Incidentally, I remember saying Damon looked 5'9.5" in this photo back when Ledger looked 6'1": Click Here Ledger is listed at 6'0.5" now. That's not the first time he looked 5'9" either. With self-proclaimed 170 cm Christoph Waltz: Click Here I'll give him 5'9" with Waltz after accounting for Damon having about 1 cm less footwear. I know that pic favors Waltz, but look up a bunch of photos from the event and you'll see what I mean.

177cm out of bed, 175cm at a normal low

Matt Damon is literally the shortest looking 5’10” guy I’ve ever seen in my life, but I must say he fares extremely well against guys like Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio and George Clooney who are all near or legit 5’11 guys. I have to give him 5’10 morning height for sure.
And then, of course, the resident troll:

If Mat Damon is 5' 10" I'll eat my hat. He's 5' 2" tops. Hollywood people are tiny. Short, little people, with big bobble-heads.
I've only read about 1/4 of 1 out of 10 pages of these comments, btw.
