With masses of information about Brad Pitt available on the Internet, you might be wondering why people are asking the question "how tall is Brad Pitt," but it's a widely searched question that really is easily answered.

So, How Tall is Brad Pitt?

Brad Pitt stands at around five feet 11 inches tall. Some sources say that he's actually just shy of that at five feet, 10 and ¾ inches tall, but what's a quarter of an inch really. Though he is under six feet tall, many say he looks much taller then his actual height. Maybe the debate about Pitt's height began as he was making the rounds on a press junket with Ocean's co-stars Matt Damon and George Clooney.

So, Damon, Clooney and Pitt were promoting the latest Ocean's film and as these things go, plenty of pictures were snapped of the impossibly good looking trio. In all the photos, Brad Pitt seemed to have at least a few inches on Matt Damon and George Clooney. This, in turn, prompted the questions about Pitt's height. It prompted these questions because Clooney and Pitt are reportedly the same height, while Matt Damon is just a bit shorter at five feet 10 inches tall. The picture of the three of them that seemed to get the most buzz was the one in which they are standing on a boat.

In this picture, both George Clooney and Matt Damon have their shoes off (proper boat etiquette as any boater will tell you) and Brad Pitt does not. Granted, he's wearing regular soled shoes (still should have taken them off, especially on such an expensive boat), but he seems to tower over the two. There is, of course, another theory as to why Brad Pitt seems taller than what he really is. His posture.

Pitt's Perfect Posture?

Most of us really never pay attention to this kind of thing, but somebody does because the Internet is full of blurbs, blogs and opinions as to why Brad Pitt seems so much taller than he actually is. The answer to all this chatter is that it's Pitt's posture. He's said to have perfect posture, nary a slouch or a rounded shoulder for this multiple winner of The Sexiest Man Alive. Nope, many people say that he seems taller because he stands up straight. Simple as that.

Perfect posture or not, Brad Pitt stands just under six feet tall. Hopefully, the story behind what all the buzz is about regarding his height has now been answered and everyone who was wondering about how tall he is, is no longer wondering.
