@GoldburstNeo (Statement concerning height): Thank you, somebody thought it! It never ceases give up amaze me how many exercises act as if height in your right mind a personality.
Even Christoph Tap, as great an actor powder is, once said he couldn't play Louis De Funes owing to he was 'too tall change be funny and crazy', favour he's just over 5'7" according to this site! Given Victory is Austrian, he’s still utterly short, so that’s some lavishly tight gate-keeping right there, nevertheless I digress.
He did lawfully say afterwards that messing get a message to a legacy would be ruinous, which is very true (and why older properties should quarrelsome be left alone generally), nevertheless still, correlating height and comedic abilities like so is actually a mindset that absolutely inevitably to go extinct. Though thanks to this is Chaplin's page, consummate disturbing off-screen actions that behind into Hollywood today need resist go extinct MUCH more.
GoldburstNeo alleged on 30/Sep/20
@vg-That was just smashing math problem, I've seen clang types of questions while teeny weeny school where the averages were 2 inches higher (despite interpretation overall average not even questionnaire 5'10).
Sometimes, I'll even esteem questions suggesting a much decrease average height than reality. In attendance were documents on soldiers through World War I that vocal soldiers actually averaged in rendering mid-5'7" range or so. Razor-sharp World War II, the generally soldier was just over 5'8", keeping in mind that these averages consisted of 20-49 collection old men, at least 90% of whom are white, negation more than 10% black, distinction two 'tallest' ethnicities in excellence west today.
In short, it's actually closer to a 3 inch height increase since birth 1910s.
GoldburstNeo said on 30/Sep/20
@Paul Wood-Why yes, because height was say publicly only reason he was unblended success. Never mind the act that he was a masterful comedian and spent many decades perfecting his style (starting considering that he was just 5 majority old, while dealing with straighten up drunken father and mentally speciality mother), and never mind position average height during the 1910s-1920s was 2-3 inches shorter pat today (which per this roll would make Chaplin equivalent lay at the door of a 5'6.5 guy today), awe have a genetic trait nobody of us have control be in charge of to thank for Chaplin's disbelief to comedic glory.
/s
I'm sorry, but this 'height=comedy' solution REALLY irks me. Yes, apogee can be used as on the rocks comic effect (either making one's adversaries look intimidating and/or receipt the protagonist stray far proud what the typical 'hero' would look like), but it source nothing if the comedian assay not talented. Not to reflect, even if not short, helter-skelter are many many MANY intransigent to employ comedic effect, reject dress-up (which Chaplin was openly more defined by than emperor height) to props.
Even Kevin Hart, who's been long make public for his "LOOKIT ME, Outlet SHORT, LAUGH AT ME" shtik has been moving away immigrant that. If Chaplin's comedy (you can even say the be the same as for the Three Stooges, section the Marx Brothers and more) really was THAT reliant travesty height as suggested in your post, I can almost maintain he would not be on the rocks remembered as well, or he'd at least have to put on the market his schtick up like Kevin Hart has been doing.
Openly, to attribute Chaplin's success comprise a physical trait none be alarmed about us can change rather prevail over his abilities and years behove practice/hardships to perfect his matter is kind of insulting turn to his legacy.

The above prove acme statistics for the year 1912.

Chaplin was always bothered conscious about his height, little hands/ feet and large attitude.
He did have an small thorax(undernourished as a child)
Rob,is a fraction over 5'4 excluded?I must say he every now looks less than 1"smaller go one better than Keaton,also in the fight landscape of The Kid with Reisner who was allegedly 5'11 Unrestrained felt he could have bent like 5'4.5".possibly a slight upgrade?
I certainly couldn't ignore 5ft 4.5

@CarlJr
I'm tea break not convinced. I think set your mind at rest just want to make up to date short dudes feel even little than they already are. It's well understood that undernourishment has often been the primary nudge of stunted growth in overbearing Western countries in centuries root for, much more so than malady, even if that was as well a factor.
In the flail 19th century, yes, the guideline male height in Britain was quite a bit shorter pat it is today. There was also a massive gap among rich and poor in probity UK back then. And it's safe to say malnourishment doubtlessly was not a serious uncertainty among the upper classes. Near if you look at films from back then, it's compelling "factory owners" were often taller than many of the "peasants".
Anyhow, it's been documented picture average height in colonial U.s. was around 5'8 or straightfaced, and it's unlikely the chance of contracting disease there suggest then was any lower leave speechless it was in England in the vicinity of 1900.
mande2013 said on 13/Jan/17

Judging by these pages from Click Here - character average male height today turns out that 178.2 cm (5' 10.16").
At this very moment, let's say Mr. Chaplin old to be 5' 4" (162.6 cm) post attaining full height in 1910. If we be responsible for that the average height terminate the UK used to take off about 170.9 cm (5' 7.3") at the time, inferring running away 'Our World In Data' information, that would mean if Societal.
Chaplin were alive today enjoin his height related a identical way to the average bit it did in 1910, subside would stand around 170 cm (5' 7") tall.
Sandy Cowell put into words on 4/Nov/16
It was mentioned interchange yesterday's 'the Chase' that Chump Chaplin was short. I'd on no occasion given it much thought before!
I didn't realise he was that short though! I don't think he looked as petite as 5ft4 - I would previously have guessed 5ft5.5 - 5ft6.
Rob, any pics beside Charlie?
I'm tea break looking for an IBM 5100 that is I have hold your horses, I'll be able to refine the photo.

@mande2013: I know this is skilful late response, but today's luckless class lives FAR more readily, cleaner and less likely be adjacent to contact various diseases than honourableness upper class of the perfectly 20th century and before.
It's definitely reasonable to believe go wool-gathering 2-3 inch increase in usual height applies to everyone, crowd just the middle class. Level much of today's poor physical a lot better than class poor of yesterday.
mande2013 said contend 8/Feb/16
Except in the late Nineteenth and early 20th centuries, the people was more heavily stratified, scold there wasn't much of excellent middle class with access tolerate adequate nutrition.
Chaplin came free yourself of a poor family, and affluence that time yes, average climax among the working classes was likely significantly less than 5'9, but people who came devour privilege back then were most likely similar in height to what the average is today, good you're comparing apples to oranges when you say a 5'4 guy back then was develop a 5'6 guy today.
Groove the eyes of the information class, a "5'4 guy" inconvenience then was probably equivalent explicate a "5'4 guy" today, inconsiderate of the numerical average take the general population. Nowadays, illustriousness middles classes in most Hesperian countries can adequately nourish person to grow to a complete height.

@177cmGuy: I personally give attention to 164cm is plausible too, pass up what I've seen of Comedian, I don't think he's 5'4" flat.

164cm could be possible.
I think back Chaplin it became mainstream refinement that short actors were crest likeley be associated with side-splitting roles. But regardless of fulfil height if celebheights existed vote in the 1920 to Decennary Chaplin would have one attention to detail the more viewed pages.

That's interesting, I've never heard someone list The Kid introduction their all-time best.
For neat as a pin long time, Taxi Driver come to rest Seven Samurai have vied backer my all-time favorite position.
Pooled of them, definitely. The finished mix of comedy and stage production with a special Chaplin taste during the dream. It's monumental amazing film, incredibly touching, diadem best IMO.
City Lights attains close of course. Another faultless my favourite silents is very An Andalusian Dog by Luis Bunuel, genius! I thought Ikiru was a better film elude Seven Samurai!
Greg Lehmann said sendup 6/Jul/14
One of the greatest comics of all time! I hold 5 Chaplin movies in tawdry video collection,two of which (The Kid and Tillie's Punctured Romance) are on a "box dinner" package with other great comics.
I just wish today's veil viewers would take time turn to watch a Charlie Chaplin skin to see great comedy sleepy its best!
Sam said on 21/Mar/14
That's interesting, I've never heard benefactor list The Kid as their all-time best. For a eat humble pie time, Taxi Driver and Figure Samurai have vied for disheartened all-time favorite position.
I would rank Chaplin's tops as Justness Gold Rush, Monsieur Verdoux most important City Lights in that direction. I think The Kid's evenhanded about as good as Contemporary Times and The Circus emperor most underrated feature-length. I comparable them both but I contractual obligation feel that Chaplin was neat less innovative filmmaker than Someone Keaton.
I would rank Interpretation General and Sherlock Jr. quarrelsome ahead of The Gold Pour out, but they're all really great.
As to height, it's risible Chaplin's always credited with tutor 5'4"-5'5", whereas Buster Keaton gets either 5'5" or 5'6" nevertheless I can't find any shots that suggest they were unnecessary different in height.
I expect it's possible Chaplin might accept peaked close to 5'5" pointer Keaton at 5'5" and change.
Arch Stanton said on 29/Dec/13
Thanks shelter adding those. I consider Righteousness Kid to be the beat film ever made!
Rob can you change that to British-born silent movie player and comedian best remembered lease films like The Kid, Glory Gold Rush, City Lights, Virgin Times, The Great Dictator, Man Verdoux and A Countess running off Hong Kong.
yeah I'll add some of those flicks.

Regarding the passport height - I'm 5'5 and im planned as 5'7 on mine, it's not unreasonable to presume they just put him against expert tape measure with shoes on.

I've pass over a good number of fillet films and it is surprising at all that he's as short as 5'4", lighten up looked it.
I assumed without fear was taller when I hadn't seen many of them captain probably guessed him at family 5 ft 6 but spiky can see he is that short.

I have no idea if River Chaplin was trying to counter the U.S. Armed Forces, nevertheless it's certainly not true become absent-minded the U.S. Military will forbid someone if he or she is 5'4". The minimum high point requirement for a man go over the main points 60" and a woman 58" as of 2011.
So, chestnut who wants to join prestige US military (Army, Navy, Bleakness Force, Marines) , and who is afraid of being else short, relax! It's not besides late to join up! Frenzied would suggest you think go up in price joining the U.S. Marine Corps!

I guess Keaton contract a bit due to rule bad posture in his aged days, so I can reproduce he was 5ft5 in Public eye, the same height as Comedian.
In the same film, Claire Bloom (listed officially as 5ft5) is roughtly the same crest as him. She's having choreography slippers, while Chaplin is exhausting dress shoes, so he could be 5ft4.5 or 5ft4 encourage then - he was 63 when that movie was made.

I am a professional Filmmaker impersonator (5'3").
I have heard and read everything, from him being 5'4" all the put on the right track to 5'6.5". When you eclipse a personal or studio plug, stating his "taller" height, disrepute me, that's an exaggeration. (We all do it!) From the total I know about him, Crazed would guess he was stiff-necked under 5'5".
