About Woody Allen's Real Height
Anyone who has seen Woody Allen in one of his fascinating films knows that he is not a tall guy -- in fact, you can say that he is below average -- he was often shorter than the leading ladies in his films.
Now Woody's height is listed as 5 feet 5 inches all over the internet. From what we have seen of Woody, we think this listing is correct -- but not anymore...
Now close to his 90s, Woody is shorter than he used to be. Height loss happens with age, and not only because of the worsening body posture -- compression and dehydration of spinal discs also play a part in it.
Still, Woody Allen was around as tall as actors like Dustin Hoffman (5'5½" in his prime), Daniel Radcliffe (5'4½"), Elijah Wood (5'5"), and Al Pacino (5'6" in his prime)
The height of Woody Allen in his prime was
5 ft 5 in (165 cm)
