How tall is Kevin Costner? Actor 'never dated at all' in high school because of his height

Kevin Costner once said he was very short in high school and 'embarrassed' to be around girls who were taller than him

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kevin Costner is reportedly 6ft 1 inch (1.85 m/ 185 cm) tall, which contributes heavily to his impressive personality.

However, once he claimed himself to be just 6ft (1.82 m/ 182 cm) tall.

The topic of Costner’s height came up in an interview in the past. According to Celeb Heights, he said, “Maybe I'm 6-feet and I'm white and I'm a leading man and have all the perks that go with that.”

Costner has gained acclaim as an actor and a director and producer. He told The Spectator in 2001, “When I was in high school, I was 5-foot-4."

He continued, “My mother promised me I would grow. By the time I was in my second year at California State University in Fullerton, I was 6-foot-1.”

He further said, “The fact that I was 5ft 2 as a sophomore didn't help. I'm 6ft 1 now but still relate to those feelings. I didn't date in high school and didn't get my growth until college. I never got over being short.”

“The reality is that I'm over 6 feet, Caucasian and I have blue eyes. I know that somewhere along the line I'll probably be cast as a romantic lead," he said, recalling his younger days.

"But I prefer to take the most interesting role possible, even if it's a smaller one,” Costner added.

The ‘Yellowstone’ star also spoke about his love life. He stated, “I never dated at all. I was a small kid, a real late bloomer, and it was embarrassing with girls who were all taller than me.”

Why did Kevin Costner quit ‘Yellowstone’?

Hello! reported in July that Costner’s reason for leaving the show was his upcoming film, ‘Horizon’.
