Richard Gere's Height

I once passed by him in Manhattan, in September or October 1998. I stood there briefly, just a meter away, to make absolutely sure it was him. Gere was surrounded by a large entourage who literally encircled him. I took a closer look and sure enough, it was him.

I suspect that the official info regarding his height is totally incorrect, way off the mark. I am 185 cm, and he was almost a head shorter than me. I wasn't wearing heels nor was I standing on a chair, and he wasn't slouching. My estimate is that he is around 164-167 cm. Certainly no more than 170.

Why is there a debate about how tall Richard Gere is. He had absolutely nothing to do with his height, looks, or the size of his head. Perhaps you should debate about something he can do something about.

To end all questions on Richard Gere's height, go to youtube, check out the Oscars. I forget which year (2003 I think) but Gere, Zellweger and Queen Latifha were presenting the Oscar for best picture. Gere is the same height as Renee Zellweger. 164 cm is about 5'3". He barely cleared that.

Google says he is 5' 11".
Why that matters I have no idea, but I don't think he is midget.

I’d be willing to wager Zellweger was wearing heals, so no they’re not the same height.

Exactly.

Still, I think it's typical Hollywood publicity to overestimate male actor's height and underestimate female actor's height.

Hoffman is 167 cm and he is taller than Hoffman https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/actor-richard-gere-and-actor-dustin-hoffman-arrive-at-the-news-photo/154579721
