You might have heard rumors that Rod is shorter than that. Some gossip columns claim he’s only 5’8” or 5’9”, but we’re here to set the record straight. The man himself once joked, “I’m 5’10” on a good day, and 5’11” if I wear my platforms.”
Let’s face it, height is a tricky business in Hollywood. Every inch gets stretched, like a pair of leather trousers after a long tour. But Rod’s official stats—and trust me, I’ve checked three sources—put him firmly at 5’10”.
Still not convinced? Picture him next to fellow rocker Mick Jagger. Mick is 5’10” too, so they’d be eye-to-eye at a party. Now imagine both of them belting out “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” in unison—that’s a mental image you didn’t know you needed.
