Bruno Mars Height Revealed: Just How Tall is The Musician Really?

How tall is Bruno Mars? Bruno Mars’ height is listed at 5 feet 5 inches or 1.65 m. This makes him an inch taller than his longtime girlfriend and partner, model Jessica Caban, who is 5’4″.

When it comes to his achievements in the music industry, Bruno Mars is certainly a giant who towers head and shoulders above most of his peers. The Hawaiian-born crooner is the first-ever artist to have five of his songs certified diamond.

It is, however, a different ballgame when he is performing live with his peers as he is quite literally down to earth. This has led to hilarious photos and internet reactions over the years, but Mars doesn’t seem to give a hoot. Even though he is conscious about his height and does what he can to buoy it up, he doesn’t stress too much over it. He rather focuses his time on continuing to mesmerize the world with his unstoppable creative genius in the form of chart-topping albums and unforgettable stage performances.

What Is The True Height of Bruno Mars?

The Hawaiian-born singer is 5 feet 5 inches tall (1.65 m). This means that he is about 4 inches shorter than the average American man as Data from the National Centre for Health Statistics shows that the average American male is 5 feet 9 inches tall (1.75 m). He is also only about 1.5 inches taller than the average American woman as data has it that the average American woman is about 5 feet 3.5 inches tall (1.61 m). The outlook doesn’t get any better when it comes to the music industry as many musicians are at least 5 feet 7 inches and above.

Such a fact means that Bruno Mars is more often than not the short fellow at various industry events and he tries to supplement his height by wearing elevator shoes that add about 2 inches or more to his height. His trademark hat also helps to buoy his height but there are just some occasions when even these two accessories cannot do the trick.

One of such was the 2016 edition of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Mars was one of the musicians that were chosen to serenade the models as they made their way down the catwalk.

The Uptown Funk singer was decked out in different outfits at various stages of the show. At some point, he also wore Cuban-heeled shoes which added about 4 inches to his height. Such a boost was however not enough to prevent his looking small alongside the various tall models who sashayed up and down the catwalk. The resultant pictures from the event sparked a storm on the internet as many commented on how short Mars was. Most of the comments were however positive as some praised the singer for rocking his heels with swag. Others pointed out that he will still remain the hottest dude ever even if he were only to be one foot tall!

How Does Bruno Mars Feel About His Height?

Despite how positive some of the online comments about Bruno Mars’ height have been, the fact that people are even talking about it must have definitely made some impact on the singer and he has been quite sincere about it.

According to Mars, he knows he is a short guy and that is something he has to think about often. Another thing that often weighs on his mind is height enhancement methods which date back to when he was a kid and his mom (Bernie) resorted to blow-drying his hair in hopes that his hair being higher will add some inches to his height.

Mars is all grown up now and rather than blow-drying his hair, has resorted to wearing hats. The singer has admitted that he wears hats with wide brims in order to make himself appear taller. Mars is yet to make a similar admission with regards to high-heeled shoes but it is obvious from his pictures that this is one of the methods he uses to boost his height
