Sorry to keep saying this but use the search function at the top please :)

Everyone beat me to it!!!

[Imbrie]

to be fair though, the man's question hasn't been answered by that thread.

5 foot 7 inches TOPS

[Dave]

where is Kewpie? She would post a link to one of the previous threads about this subject. ;)

No way, I'm 5ft 7inches, I'm either taller than I think, therefore I am not a midget or you're bang off the mark.

[duchess_of_fork]

I'm a girl and I just found out I'm 5"6....I was 5"4 until recently. It must be all that soy calcium....
if he's 5"7 I'd feel like a giant. I doubt he's that short. I've heard from people who have met him/hugged him that he's about 5"8/ 5"9
and maybe he wears shoes with semi-heels (what are those high soles called on mens shoes? they're not heels as in...high-heels on ladies shoes, but that'd still look cool on Moz.....red shiny high heels...like Rocky Horror Picture Show style...yaaaah!)

I was once in a pub in Ashton-Under-Lyne where i lived (which is very close to Manchester for those of you not familiar with the area.)
It must have been the very very early eighties and who should walk in one day but a very tall young man with a large quiff...

This is very confusing! :confused: :confused: :confused:

That must have been his weight in 1983 or 1984. I'm sure he used to weigh more than 64 kg in the late 80s and certainly more in the early 90s.

What magazine and what year does that come from? "Favourite groups: none really"? LOL

One thing I don't understand: if Morrissey is under 180 cm, why did so many interviewers describe him as tall?? I can think of at least 3 interviews where I read that.

And a few other answers are quite funny:


SELF DESCRIPTION Unprepossessing
Hmmm??



MOST IMPORTANT POSSESSION Common Sense
ROTFL :D :D

I think he looks tall, because of his presence. 5" 11 I'd say

[Kitty3780]

I'm glad chlow posted this thread - I'm not too fussed how tall he is really, if I saw him in real life, in the street, not behind a security barrier, it wouldn't matter how tall he was when I only intend to shake his hand (followed by a bear hug and a peck on the cheek, which I am sure I could manage by standing on tip toe), but I was really thrilled to see that pic with the mini questionaire things beneath them all. I really liked that and have never seen it before.

And it just makes me chuckle. I can just imagine his parents reading stuff like that, or the parents of the others, and going "That young Steven is so strange... why doesn't he just go and get a nice girlfriend like the rest of you?"

Ah, bless him.

[nightandday]

That seems to be most probable. It can't be more than that, because he said he was 'virtually 6 feet'.

[Spicer]

No way, I'm 5ft 7inches, I'm either taller than I think, therefore I am not a midget or you're bang off the mark.

I've stood next to him, I'm 5ft 8, and he was shorter than me. I'll bring my tape measure the next time.

[Gin N Tonic Jil]

Someone shoot me over Julias address so I can send her a tape measure.

Anywho, hes about 5'10 if not taller but, then again he could be shrinking already with age an all.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

i towered over him @ my 5'10"

[lottie]

here we go again....
he is 5 foot 10-11 inches

trust me i KNOW
(gets everyone imagining that she got up close and whipped out a tape measure. LOL)

^A reliable source? No idea.

[sweetadeline]

he's taller than me.. but not by more than 5 inches. i'm 5'5 or thereabouts.

[lilybett]

Most people seem to agree on 5'10-5'11

Which, I have to say is disappointing, being 5'11 myself

But on this occasion, I am willing to make an exception

He's looked shorter as he's got older.

[elsberry]

I'm 1,77 m (wich is 5'8'' some funny conversion tool tells me) and I had the pleasure of huggin him onstage. Thankfully I've got picture evidence to help my blurred memory and he's the same height as me, possibly a tad smaller.

lucky one !!! :)

Im 5'5(1.68) and I took this picture in may in Kings Lynn. I was surprised how
"small" he is, possibly 5'7( 1,76 m)

[the more you explore me!]

he is 'way' taller then 5.8

1999, Limerick, Ireland. And it was dead-easy. Security was veeery relaxed, stage was 50 cm high, and he was quite welcoming.... I'll never forget the look he gave me :o
bad thing about it: you get addicted. there's never been a morrissey-show afterwards where I didn't think about the possibillities of getting on stage... :D

In Amsterdam last December some guy got to the stage and ran across it with a guard jogging behind him. And the guy hugged Morrissey, it was really sweet and I'd love to see a pic of it but obviously nobody has any..

[Danny]

He looks shorter than he is because he's stocky and has a big head. He's between 5'10"-5'11" according to an interview with Alain.

It's impossible to judge someone's height just by standing next to them. You always overestimate your own height for some reason.
