This dude is a specimen, but is he really 6' 4' tall?

I know athletes' stats are regularly inflated for whatever reason, and it seems Bautista is doing the same. If you check out the link to the picture of the cast, you can see Vin Deisel who claims to be 5'11 3/4" tall (every little bit counts I guess) and he is almost as tall as Bautista. I don't think Bautista is over four inches taller.

Michael Rooker is about 5'10". Now look at the difference in height between them. Vin has nearly 2" on him. Look at the F&F films with him and 6'4" Rock. He's almost as tall. The reason, his footwear have thicker soles. Bautista is wearing flats in that picture.
I don't think Bautista5b4 is 6'4.5". Athletes and Actors do inflate their hieghts, sometimes actors will list their heights as being much lower(Lee Pace lists himself as 6'3" but is clearly 6'5") the reason being that taller actors don't get as many acting jobs and are usually given roles that suit their heights not their range.
Bautista is probably closer to 6'3". There's not a large hieght difference with him and 6'2" Pratt.Join us

I think he's 6'2, possibly 6'2 1/2. Check out this picture, you can clearly see that Lee Pace is significantly taller than him at 6'5; at least a couple of inches taller. He's not wearing flats in this picture either.

Funny picture. I've stood a foot away from both Djimon and Benicio, with them in dress shoes, and I estimated that they were around 6'2 1/2'', and I'm a very good judge of height, never off by more than an inch tops, usually down to a half inch. Batista is around the same height as them in that picture, maybe slightly taller by an inch, but he does have thick soled boots on though.
I think the perspective is off, as Lee actually looks over 6'5'' in that picture.
My guess is Batista is around 6'1'' to 6'1 1/2'' in socks. He towers over Daniel Craig in Spectre, only because Daniel is 5'8''. -

I just asked a friend that knew him back in the day and he says that he was indeed a VERY tall guy. He looks taller than 6'4 in real life, but yes he is 6'4" not 6'1 or under 6 ft.

I agree with the poster who said that Vin Diesel is wearing lifts. -

When he had his MMA fight a few years ago his height and weight were documented at 6'3" and around 260 lbs, that's as official as it gets. He had slimmed down a bit at that point, I would guess that he weighed closer 300 lbs when he was in his prime in the mid 2000's.

He came to see Dr Andrews in Birmingham, Al several years ago, and for some reason he didn't fly back to Tampa. My dad runs a car service and has a good relationship with t16d0he WWE, so he drove him, Bautista, from here to Lutz, Fl - to his front door.
My dad says he is every bit of 6'4" and 300+ lbs. -

The dude is likely around 6 foot 3. The 6 ft 4 from Sports Illustrated was probably just a rough estimate as I highly doubt the writer of that article actually got Dave next to a tape measure.
The dude was always about a inch shorter than Randy Orton (list himself on his official site as 6 ft 4), Dwayne Johnson (worked with him twice, can confirm 6 ft 4) and most recently Chris Hemsworth (known to downplay his height, but both him and his brother are the same height as Jeff Goldblum and he's taller than every 6'3 actor he's ever worked with, so 6'4 makes sense), so that already rules out Dave being 6'4.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Dave is leaning closer to 6'2 these days since he and Chris Pratt are pretty close in height these days. Though I guess we do have to take into consideration one has hair and the other doesn't, and the one with hair often looks taller as a result.
