Vin Diesel's height is one of the greatest mysteries of Hollywood.
One moment Vin stands shoulder to shoulder with The Rock who is 6'5" (oh, wait he isn't) but the next moment our dear old Vinnie seems struggling to even look 6 feet tall with ruler straight posture and Diesel-boots® (pole dancer heels which makes you look very tall!)
So what is truth and what isn't? Just how tall Vin Diesel really is?
The truth might shock you. This is Hollywood's dirty little secret. Celebrities are a lot shorter than they are advertised to be.
The Rock isn't 6'5" which was his "billed" height in WWE. As it happens, he isn't even 6'4 as he claims to be. Truth is The Rock was really "just" 6'3" and now is even shorter -- around 6'2½" -- probably because of his upper back curvature developed due to extreme bodybuilding.
Vin Diesel is even shorter. He is known as a symbol of masculinity but not for his height...
Now don't get us wrong, Vin Diesel is shorter than The Rock but he is not exactly short. He is height-conscious -- which simply means that he is aware of his height and would like to look just a bit taller than he really is. Consider his big boots and upright posture most of the time.
Vin Diesel has been described as a 6'1" to 6'4" tall muscular bald guy most of his life but he once claimed the height of a modest 6 feet 1 inch.
Is he really that tall? Unfortunately no.
Most trusted online sources and our own research make it clear that Vin is just below 6 feet tall. Not convinced? Check out Vin's photos with a 6 feet 2 inches tall Paul Walker. Vin was a lot shorter than him even in his special diesel-boots®.
Vin also looked around an inch shorter than John Cena who is 6 feet ½ inch tall.
If anything Vin is actually closer in height to his Fast and Furious co-star Tyrese Gibson who is around 5'10½". We think Vin Diesel is just as tall as someone like Leonardo DiCaprio.
The real height of Vin Diesel is
5 ft 11½ in (182 cm)

The Rock
