Cindy on Keeley Hazell
Only 5'6" That's not exactly short, being 2 inches above average.
Cindy on Nina Dobrev
She is so not 5'7". 5'6" on a good day maybe. And Eveline, Ian is definietly 175cm, not 178cm, but yes, even in heels she is still shorter than his 5'9".
Cindy on Luke Mitchell
Most people here in Oz dont have a clue when it comes to inches and feet, so the height he said in cm would be correct.
Cindy on General Height
@xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms)-
see the thing about girls is, they can be hot at almost any height. But when you get to the ones that are below 5ft and those above 5'9" (assuming average is approx. 5'4.5") then I think it could be a problem when it comes to dating.
Ive mentioned that I have a 4'11" friend, who always gets 'cute' comments and finds it hard to be taken seriously because people treat her like a kid (she's 20years old though). She never leaves the house without at least 3inch heels on because she wants to minimize the difference between her and everyone else, especially the guys. She's quite pretty though, and has had far more boyfriends than I have, but she's never been with anyone taller than 5'10".
One of my other friends, on the other hand, is 5'11", and because she is really skinny (we are almost the same weight at 135 pounds), she sort of hunches her back to try and minimize her height and avoids heels at all costs. She too has a boyfriend though, although I have not met him in person so I dont know his height.
So while height does not matter too much is girls are within that range (5inches above and below average height), I think it is an issue for those who are in the bottom few percent, like above 6ft tall, or Snooki's height.
Those who are really tall can feel manly and giant, while the really short ones would feel tiny and child-like. I guess it depends on the guys' opninions :)
anon on Aishwarya Rai
@Amit: We were discussing the strenght and size of only the Bollywood heroines. I agree with u that down South there are plenty of actresses who are much bigger and stronger than the Bollywood girls. Two girls who stand out are Namtha who at 5'9" & 90 kg with huge shoulders and hips and Anushka Shetty who is 5'10" & 75 kgs and has a small waist, massive hips and is very strong also.
Mike on Hulk Hogan
Current height fully streched 6"3.5 and peak 6"5.5.
Chrissy on Kiefer Sutherland
Beside William Devane, he looks about an inch taller. So if Devane is 5'10 then Kiefer is 5'11. But I'd say that he is a perfect 5'9. Excellent actor.
Mr. R on Novak Djokovic
Also, Dolgopolov is not quite 5-11. Maybe a half inch below that.
Mr. R on Novak Djokovic
@SAK John is right. Just before the match begins,they list the player's statistics on the screen. The whole tournament he was listed at 6-3. I also think that he grew a little after he started playing. He is 6-2.5
jaypee on Dave Batista
all this claims about Batista as 6'5 is hogwash. he is barely taller than triple H. We all know as a fact that triple H is 6'2
Mr. R on Viola Davis
Saw Viola last night at The Help screening. Still just below 5-5.
Jake T. on Leona Lewis
I saw a photo of her and Rita Wilson who I think is 170 or 171 cm and they seemed practically the same. Leona is 5'7 for sure.
xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms) on Rob Paul
@rob..Is there any problem in the amitabh bachchan page..i made a post today and it did not appear..and moreover craneberries's as well as salman's post were also deleted..before that all the previous post by different users were also deleted..??
bam on Matt Bomer
holds his own near dekay, it defnitely doesn't look like a 3 inch difference.
Haze on Giancarlo Esposito
I agree, I think Breaking Bad is EASILY his most known role. His height is all over the place in BB in a few scenes looking very close to Cranston. Camera magic for ya.
At events he looks slightly taller then Aaron (Jesse) so I think that his listing here is right on the money.
Haze on Aaron Paul
Not 5'8 for sure. 5'7 is nearer. Evidence clearly shows that.
MD on Jimmy Fallon
Ok, Jimmy had on Saints quarterback Drew Brees on, tonight, and they were also the same height. After seeing him compared with how he compared to Tebow, Tebow maybe was an inch taller than Jimmy instead of exactly the same height.
Either way, Drew Brees was measured EXACTLY at 6'0", so there is absolutely no way that Tim Tebow measured 6'3", which makes sense given the "two-inch rule".
runt on Justin Bieber
@Brad
Lawl. But they do look better than some of Robert Downey's contraptions.
Salman on Rob Paul
Rob, would you advise on using a shaving cream aerosol can or an aerosol spray can when measuring? Does a hard back book work just as well? Also, do I push down on my head all the way or should it barely touch my head? Thanks.
Haze on Carlos Bernard
He doesn't look to happy to be there. Was he unpleasant Rob?
[Editor Rob: I don't think the signing area was that great - he looked a bit bored at times]
xyz.reg on Hrithik Roshan
@vinn I agree with your logic perfectly..I m going to upload some pics again as my comment was deleted along with the other comments...maybe rob got pieced off with the same thing being posted again and again by some people..
1)Here is Kunal kapoor with Hrithik Roshan
Click Here
Since hrithik is 5ft 10 max..u proved that with your pic..he could be 5ft 9.5 also..in that pic kunal kapoor is 2.5in max taller than hrithik ..so that puts Kunal at 6ft to 6ft 0.5in.
2)Here is Abhishekh Bachchan with Kunal Kapoor..abhishekh looks 1.5-2in shorter than Kunal kapoor
Click Here
So abhishekh can be 5ft 11 max also..but he does look taller than his father only when he has footwear advantage...for amitabh bachchan i don't think he is more than 5ft 11.5-6ft today..i think the pic with mamun was taken way back when may be he was in his mid 50's..that's not a recent pic..u and i can make that out..but craneberries won't because he is less aware about this legend..today at 69 he is different looking than he was at that time with mamun..may be he has lost some more height because of age..whereas he lost his initial height in his surgery..when he was shooting for the movie coolie in the 1980's..You must be knowing this..but not craneberries..!!
2 February
xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms) on Ryan Reynolds
@Rob Since u agree that the eye-level of legit 5ft 8 should be below the chin of a 6ft 2 guy..and your eyebrows touching his chin level..but this is not the case with ryan reynolds..so ryan could be 6ft 2 in the morning and could dip down to 6ft 1.25in..because with mamun in that pic he doesn't look more than 6ft 0.5.It could be possible that he was caught in moment where he may not be at his tallest..Onscreen he looks a legit 6ft 2..!!
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP on General Height
@Pete Procrastinator
No need to apologize mate :-) .The languages that are spoken in Belgium are Dutch, German and French. 'Flemish' is the term used to describe the form of Dutch spoken by the people in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. But Flemish and Dutch are essentially the same, apart from some differences in pronunciation. A person from Flanders will always understand a person from Holland and vice versa.
I've been to Ypres loads of times on school trips, visiting the world war sites. I think the people of Belgium should be grateful to the other countries who sent their troops to save our country. It's our duty to show respect to the fallen. It shows that there are more important things to worry about in life than height lol!
CK on Jean Reno
How is it that there's no photo with Jean Reno and Rob? There's too much resemblance to let that opportunity go.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m on Novak Djokovic
What do you estimate for Swiss No. 2 player Stanislas Wawrinka? To me he does look the height he's billed at -- 6ft. 1.83 m is on his official site. He appeared a bit taller than Marcos Baghdatis.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m on Anthony Mackie
He seems slightly strong/above average in films. Solid 178 cm (5" 10.25) for him.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP on Ryan Gosling
Md says on 1/Feb/12
No he's not. If that was the case, Gyllenhaal would be nothing more than 5'9", which is patently ridiculous. Try again.

Gyllenhaal needs a MAJOR downgrade. That is NOT how a 6 foot guy looks next to a 5'9" MAX guy. Gyllenhaal in the 5'9" range is not ridiculous at all, in fact, it is reality.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m on Rob Paul
Rob would you consider adding Titus Welliver? He's a pretty prolific character actor whose been in many films and TV shows. He's listed as 6' everywhere but I suspect he could be a weak 6' seeing him next to Edward Burns.
Kashfia on Taylor Momsen
@Mawissa Taylor Momsen was less than 5'0" when she was 12 years old. Taylor Momsen was 4'10" or 4'11" when she was 12 years old. Taylor Momsen was 5'0" maximum when she was 12 years old. She is standing next Jane Leeves. She is wearing boots with 3 inch wedges. Taylor was 12 years old in this picture. Click Here
chris on Robert Wadlow
@LG69... that's not possible. Robert topped out at 8 ft 11.1 inches right before his death....all of his shoes that I've seen had very small heels, the same as any man's shoe of that era...so he would have been just shy of 9 feet in shoes
RisingForce on Mike Tyson
Rob, how plausible do you find Mike's 5'10.5" claim? Obviously I know you find 5'10" flat to be more likely, but is 5'10.5" a possibility?
[Editor Rob: he measured himself 5ft 10, that's good enough for me.
10.5? I never saw that in person.]
188 cm/ 6\'2.1\" on Harold Ramis
I met Ramis in the spring of 2009 at his home (long story behind this), and based on the picture the two of us took, based on the fact that I looked about 2 inches taller than him, he being barefoot and me wearing some pretty thick running shoes, I think he's closer to 6'1" Maybe he was taller 25 years ago, but not now.
Anna on Taylor Swift
Ellen is listed here as 5'7 (and I believe that, don't think she's 5'8)
It really doesn't seem to have a 3 inches difference between them on this video

Gracien on Vincent Kartheiser
Wow, that's unexpected. Either he's understating his own height or Hamm and the rest of the cast of Mad Men need downgrades...
Click Here
Anna on Taylor Swift
@elena
Taylor Lautner DEFINITELY lies, I think he was wearing shoe lifts in that scene
I would give Swift maybe 5'9.5-5'10
Mptbaggy on Michael Clarke Duncan
My husband is 6'6.50", 475 lbs MUSCULAR, 52 yr old biker...bottom line, they are Wizard of Oz midgets compared to my husband...
MD on Jimmy Fallon
Again, I think it says a lot more about overlisting in sports than it does about Jimmy's actually height, because he's routinely never looked anything over 6'0" on his show with other guests of known height. Jimmy is not even close to 6'2"; that much is clear.
brooksy on David Beckham
As an Arsenal fan it is odd, because RVP is nearly as tall as manager Arsene Wenger who says he is 6 foot 4!And I'm not sure Wenger is 6 foot 4 so I'd guess 6 foot 2 for RVP.
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP on Tim Russ
Another 5'10" listed at 182cm.
Salman on Rob Paul
Rob, in this picture below, assuming both people are in similar footwear, I see a 1.5 inch difference. What do you think? If the person on the left is 5 ft 7.5, then that makes the person on the right 5 ft 6 right? Thanks.

dan on Brad Pitt

Click Here Sorry, there is about 4- 5 inches between seinfeld and forbes, even tho seinfeld's sneakers probably give more then forbes' shoes
denali on Hulk Hogan
a friend of mine saw hogan at grocey store swears the hulk is 6.5.
dan on Brad Pitt
just saw Michelle forbes on seinfeld.. She was wearing super flat style ballerina shoes. She was approximately 2.5" - 3" taller then Jason Alexander and about 2-3" shorter then Seinfeld, but she didnt stand directly next Jerry.. I didnt see Alexander's shoes, and dont know what he got from them.. Also, no alexander is 5-4.5 or shorter.. He's not that much shorter then Seinfeld who is minimum 5-11. Pitt is 100% no shorter then 5-9 and most possibly in the 5-9.5 - 5-10 morning height range..
MrGoodGuy on Jim Carrey
I remember G stating that Jim "was more like 6-1 and an ass." Rob do you remember this, and do you have the quote? In other words, if G himself thought 6-1, is then a downgrade imminent on this statement alone (-1.25 +/- margin of error)?
[Editor Rob:
actors have their head down signing stuff or trying to get away from the vultures - if you guess based on circumstances like that, in combination with streets which are never going to be level, god knows what estimates you could get!]
Paul-181cm on General Height
I met a tallish girl and I'm getting ready for our first date. She is nearly a full 5'10 barefoot (at least 5'9.8) I'm just 5'11.3 barefoot so I'm only about 1.5 inch taller :(
Like klem I always wished I was 184-186cm and thought that my height wasn't quite strong enough to have any chance at dating a 5'10 girl. But I was wrong I guess 181-182cm can still be seen as "good enough height" for a tallish girl.
Has any other sub-6'0 guys here had luck getting a date with a strong 5'9 or 5'10 girl?
Cranberries on Bob Sapp
This guy is more like 6'3.5" or 6'4" max. Check him next to James Thompson (big guy):

george on Rob Paul
Hi rob do you think you could do a tape measure in the mirror method video on YouTube just so we can see what it looks like doing it properly. Just to clarify you stand a couple of feet from the mirror and pull the tape measure up and put it alongside of you? Is that correct? Thanks
jwwjr on Cesar Romero
At the Star is Born premiere, telecast 1954,Caesar looks at least one or maybe two inches taller than Jack Carson.
Gaga-183.2cm-185.1cm on General Height
Correct shaun, i agree with everything you said, but the last two sentences could have been written by myself, i know exactly what you mean, everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and not thinking too much on what you havnt got or the things you dont like about yourself is the key to success, confidence make it all, we all have insecurities, everyone on earth, we are not different, those people you see as almost perfect might have some inside complexes only they can see, i do somedays feel worse than others, i even feel shorter around the same people, and thinking too much about it ruins my day. During my early teens, i used to think too much about my nose, as it was changing and growing, and i was always so worried about it that i couldnt help hiding myself from some lightening, but as i grew and time past, i have almost forgotten my nose, and i dont really think about it that much, it might not be perfect, but for sure it is worse in my mind, i do have some other complexes, that nobody can notice, but inside of one self it can hurt self esteem. Also so etime, i dont know if it happens to you but i feel so uncomfortable with my self, i dare to say i feel ugly, idk why but i have that feeling inside, but when i look in a mirror i realise it was all in my mind.
I KNOW on Jim Parsons
I know for a fact Jim Parsons is 6'. 2 inches shorter than Letterman. The same height as other 6" guys. People don't look at dimensions. Like me.
TruebloodFan on George Clooney
he looked solid height in 'The Descendants'. great acting as well. I've always appreciated Clooney more as a director than an actor, but after this that movie I had a change of heart.
Henrik on Roger Moore
My take is that he was 6'1.5" (187cm) in the morning, which he rounded up to 6'2". Solid 6'1" (186cm) in the middle of the day.
Baz on General Height
I have a question:
Is it at all possible to add 1-2 inches of height (even temporarily) by stretching everyday? Or is this just nonsense?
Alphaseti on Ryan Gosling
I went to high school with Gosling at Lester B. Pearson(Burlington, Ontario) and then he was about 5'11 or so and was quite lean and since then he's built up to now probably 180lbs and grown maybe an inch or two. So looking at some of his pics online he's more like 6' or 6'1"...
Paul on The Undertaker
I have just looked at Triple H's page and Rob has him down at 6'2 which seems fair enough. Looking at KingNick's shots, he looks about 4.5in taller at best which would make him 6'6.5. Having said that I think Triple H has the footwear advantage so a solid 6'7 for Taker is probable. I know some here will disagree but I think he has lost height...more than an inch in fact (more than average) and was a strong 6'8/weak 6'9 in the early 90's. Feel free to diagree folks. Thats what makes a good forum at the end of the day.
jtm on Amber Benson
i don't know who she is but she really does not look 5'4 in those pictures.
logan noll 1996 on The Undertaker
Look at Khali's info on his bio. His billed height is listed as 7 foot 3 and his real height is listed as 7 foot 1. If this is true, wouldn't Undertaker be 6 foot 9 if their 4 inches apart. He looks 6'8 in that picture with 6 foot Frank(who is most likely 6'0.5 - 6'1 in the kind of shoes he's probally wearing).
marky on General Height
Im about 188.5cm morning fella and just wondering how it would feel to be a little shorter. Well for me great heights as a male are 180cm-190cm. How would legit 180cm guy would feel in life. Would guess that with girls that would be a nice height to be. In public you wouldnt be noticed because of your height but you would still feel always over average or tallish. You would have this smaller guy pretty boy look without being too small. What do you 180cm guys think about your height?
Chameleon on Jonathan Ross
He stands straight with Cohen whose height we know is legit and looks noway near 187cm, same with Lineker and Paddy whose height we also know. I just cant see him at 6'1 let alone 187cm. Its just weird..
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover on Brian May
He was 1.89m(6ft2.5) prime.
Probably 6ft2 flat now or 1.87m min
Alphaseti on Scott Adkins
Scott Adkins is 5'11(1.80m), Jason Statham is a good 2inches shorter at 5'9(1.75m) and Marko Zaror is about 6'1"(1.85m). In the film Undisputed3, Zaror was made to look 3-4inches taller at 6'3-4" as to give the illusion that the match would seem uneven favoring Zaror.

Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 29/Jan/12
Ok im going to ask a question to everyone. If someone said you can pick the height you want to be, what would you pick? Say in cm's to an EXACT cm.
Mine would be - 186cm on the dot barefoot at night.
Wear 1cm plyms you'll look tall, wear chunky shoes you'll start to look solid tall or somewhat very tall. Perfect for girls, Perfect for Sports, Perfect for giving off a tall desirable impression, Perfect for not standing out and your height being what your known as, Perfect for modelling and most of all Perfect to fit into the world as a standard tall male height.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey i remember you saying a long time ago that 186.5cm was your ideal. You now fancy a smaller ideal huh?
heh back to the point. Well im like a 188.5cm or something guy in the morning. Minus couple of centimeters and then im at my evening height.
Wrote something about my ideal height a long time ago and mebbe i said 190cm then and im now talking about evening heights. Now im not that sure about that height to be the ideal one.
I agree with you what you said that my current height fit just great to a normal world.:
Use low shoes and you are looking tall.
Use thicker ones and you gonna start to stand out from the groud as a strong tall or start of very tall.
If you want you can even get away with a tallish or start of tall look by using low shoes and slouch, looking like a 183cm guys. (dont slouch btw:) Height wise this actually might be the ideal height from girls aspective. (What do you think chicks?) Now you can get away with even small girls, without looking too ankward.
I personally usually go with thick shoes. Im used to that strong tall look and i like it. With girls my height even can get too tall but with guys around i feel usually really comfortable.
So i would say that 188.5cm as an evening height would be perfect. You could use any kind of low shoes or slippers and you would appear like im now in my thick shoes. I think i said some time ago that 190cm would be my choice but i think its mebbe a notch too tall. Not with guys but with girls. I dont wanna dwarf girls i want to fit with their heights at least some kind of way. So 188.5cm
RisingForce on Rob Paul
Yeah, Rob, I'm about 5'10" in the boots, maybe a fraction over 2-3 hours after waking up without the lift. The lift is more like 1.25" until I press down on it, then it's about 1".
George Fergadiotis on The Undertaker
Undertaker is maybe 12 cm taller than 6ft 2 triple h although i think hhh is shorter than 188cm, he is exactly 200cm some claim 6ft 8 or taller there is absolutely no chance he is that tall because he is 2 meters it does't mean we have to make him a giant it is possible he has lost height after injuries. Rob is doing a good job here in this site to put them down to earth, they do not say their real height they add 3 inches in their height if they are 200cm they can't do that if they are 180cm but again they add 1 inch.
Dural on Sylvester Stallone
He was as tall as Brigitte says (174-175cm) and an inch less today.
tony t. on Shawn Michaels
Michaels can't be 5'11 because 5'11.5 - 5'11.75 cm punk had an inch on michaels when they were teaming together for survivor series 2006. Michaels is more a weak 5'11. 5'10.75
fricanman on General Height
@xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms)- Apologies for my "height imperialism" in previous post! I straight away presumed we were talking Europe/US averages, presumptuous of me. In countries with lower average height, like India, it is obviously more likely to find men under 5'. I still think they wouldn't be very common though.
In a "small" society I'd guess the insecurities would fall more on the "tall" individuals. A six footer would really stick out like a sore thumb in a nation averaging 5'5/6"
George Fergadiotis on Jean Claude Van Damme
I can't buy that his mother measured him and he was 177cm he is short 175cm fits him , it happens to me a lot of times i make a mistake when measure and suddenly i am 2cm taller.
Henkka on Justin Bieber
@Dave: You have to consider that those listings are almost always with footwear, therefore, Lil Wayne would be a bit under 5'5", or 5'5" on the rare case he was measured barefoot. That pic of him next to Floyd Mayweather (listed 5'8" in shoes, so around 5'7.25"-5'7.5" barefoot) says it all and confirms that Lil Wayne is in the 5'4.5"-5'5" range.
And the pics with Justin show they're almost the same height, being Justin a tiny bit shorter (pay attention to where his head ends, not his hat; Wayne is a bit taller, less than 0.5" but it's visible if you pay attention). It doesn't matter, anyway, it just confirms what we were already saying: Justin is still in the 5'4.5"-5'5" range, and most probably closer to the former.
Peyman on General Height
@Dmeyer , how about you type my name correctly!!! ( Paymen =pay men = LOL ) . NP , vow is the meaning of my name ,but for your height claim : you know dude I dont have that much shrink you have during my waking ours , for me its 1.9 cm but for you 2.8 cm ! so I agree with jake that 5ft 11.5in is the best claim for you (and remember anything between between 181cm-182cm seems to be fair for you , and 182cm 182.5cm is the best range for me to claim , .)

His description should be changed to say 'comedian' too. And yeah he is 5'2 I would bet.

Quite a good hogan Andre comparison pic Click Here I presume they where actually stood next to each other.
Andres feet are at a higher level than Hogans. This is them at the same level. Click Here I doubt they were standing side by side for that shot. If they were, Andre was given a little boost by the photo editor.
Dude on Beth Behrs
She probably is actually at close to 5'10" in 2 broke girls. I wouldn't be surprised if those crazy heels she wears add a good 6".
George Fergadiotis on Shawn Michaels
I can't even imagine Shawn Michaels to be a strong 5ft 11. No way he is 5ft 11,5 or 5ft 11,25. Rob nobody here considers him at that height he is clearly no more than 180cm. Maybe to change him to 5ft 11?
ANDREA[ITA] on Clive Owen
Maybe you're right, i mean if he doesnt stand as tall as possible that could be the reason why he looks max 6'1. I still think he's not a legit 6'2 but maybe he's really nearer 6'2 than 6'1 as you say.
Boss on Andre The Giant
dicksock says on 1/Feb/12
Boss: Rob isn't "fighting" here. Chaz is referring to the posters on this site. The majority of them think Andre was 6'10"-7'. Even Red just stated that he thinks Andre was a minimum of 6'10.5". Also, if you read Chaz's post carefully, he says the 7'+ guys need help. Rob has Andre listed at 7', not 7'+.
Andre was somewhere between 6'11 - 7' peak. By the time you factor his afro, footware, head size, posture and the fact that we are going by photos and video footage with factors such as, angles and positioning we will never know for sure within an inch. Andre could have measured 7' out of bed and been 6'10.5 by evening and night. Rob measured almost an inch more out of bed than in the night and Andre's situation is much more drastic than Rob's. Also, Rob runs a the most popular website on height of celebs and he seen it fit to upgrade Andre from 6'11.5 to 7' based on his own information and his perception of Andre. To me that says more than anything as he is unbiased and spends more of his time at the height game than all of us combined. Andre lost height over his life.
George Fergadiotis on Brad Pitt
There are people that they are very strong 180cm in the evening but they never reach 181cm or 5ft 11,5 maybe only in the morning and certainly Brad Pitt is not one of them. Rob you have to consider to downgrade him he is a little under 5ft 11

Great find there. Click Here The guy definitely forced Big Show to stand straight. Shave the guys head and Big Show comes out taller. Would like to see the footwear, stances, etc. The guy's higher shoulders and smaller head create the illusion that he's taller.
George Fergadiotis on Brad Pitt
Rob there is no chance Brad is 180,3 cm 5ft 10,75 would be more accurate. He is just 180cm maybe just under that. The perfect for him would be 179-180cm. Impossible for him to be strong 5ft 11 in the evening. Maybe you are very generous with him Rob?
[Editor Rob: nothing is exact, for every man who is 5ft 11 there's another 5ft 10.8 and another 10.7 etc. Add in shrinking and you can be a 5ft 11.25 man walking out the door at 9am and when you come home you are a 5ft 10.75 man! ]
ANDREA[ITA] on Will Smith
johno im not getting worked up... I'm so calm. It's just that James is getting ridicolous, insisting that he's 6'1.5 or even 6'2 when there's enough proof showing the opposite. Im wondering why Rob, that usally is very accurate, hasnt downgraded him... Power of celebrities :)

ANDREA[ITA] on Nicolas Cage
OMG, James. Now 188? Stop stop and stop, please. In the mugshot Rob posted he looked a weak 6', considering he's wearing normal shoes. But since Rob himself stated on his page that he sometimes wears big heeled boots he could be even less. I agree that he can look 6', but anything over is quite impossible.
ANDREA[ITA] on Adam Sandler
Agree with Silent d. 177 or 5'9.5 is closer. Not a legit 5'10 for sure. 5'8 is actually too low for him. 5'9 not impossible.
Ras on John Cena
Witchdoctor says on 30/Jan/12
Can someone here do a comparison of John Cena vs Barri grifiths Arm wise,I would say those two have the biggest arms in the WWE roster and are probably not far off Ronnie Coleman's flexed 21.5inch measurement.
------------------------
Take into account that Coleman is 5'10", perhaps 5'9.5", Cena is 6'0.5" and Griffiths is about 6'4", the taller you are, the harder it is to build muscle. If you would shrink Ryan down to 5'10" you would NOT get the same proportions, I think Coleman is bigger cause he has built as much as 330lbs and that's on season, Barri Griffiths weighs 290lbs tops.

Reality on Brad Pitt
2nd truth says on 31/Jan/12
since 5 10 looks tall on screen
he does not
he never looked tall on screen
That's again a stupid thing.There's no rule about how tall does 5'10 look on screen.Actors not always look taller in movies,they can look shorter as well.For example just look at Will Ferrel (5'10.5) in "Hall Pass",he looks there average.
"1.5 heal 1.5 lifts hes 6 feet"
If his footwear really gives 3 inches (and that's not a fact that it's always so) he would appear 2 inches taller because everyone else already has 1 inch footwear (at average).
You just said so many pointless things that now it's even harder to believe you.
Ras_ on Christian Bale
@Johno,please stop trolling...if you aren't ABSOLUTELY DO NOT compare him with Tom when he is "Bane" its absurd...he is wearing lifts in his boots as stated earlier in production so both "Batman" and "Bane" can look eachother eye to eye and that is not a rumour its a fact.Anything below 5'11.25 for Bale is not serious.

Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 29/Jan/12
Ok im going to ask a question to everyone. If someone said you can pick the height you want to be, what would you pick? Say in cm's to an EXACT cm.
Mine would be - 186cm on the dot barefoot at night.
Wear 1cm plyms you'll look tall, wear chunky shoes you'll start to look solid tall or somewhat very tall. Perfect for girls, Perfect for Sports, Perfect for giving off a tall desirable impression, Perfect for not standing out and your height being what your known as, Perfect for modelling and most of all Perfect to fit into the world as a standard tall male height.
yours?
i would choose 190cm at night. you are solid tall and never dip below 6'3 but at the same time you are not awkwardly tall.

Danimal on Big Show
Davis says on 24/Jan/12
Big show is a legit 7'0. When Big Show debuted as the Giant in WCW, he was billed as Andre's son and 7'4. Now, when they measure basketball players, it's always with the shoes on. Big Show was nearly anywhere near 500 pounds though, maybe 400 at his max. Ron Reis was a true giant in wrestling but never got a push, and I always wondered why.
Uhhhh, you are wrong. Big Show was FORCED to leave the WWE in 2006/2007, because he became morbidly obese (he went up to a LEGIT 550 pounds). He came back at 441 pounds a year later, claiming he lost 109 pounds.. Never above 400 pounds for him is LAUGHABLE..

kurp182.5 on General Height
@ Otis ;
I had a friend who was always the shortest and a late bloomer - I was the opposite. At 15 he was about 5'5 and I was 5'10. By 16 he was 5'7 and I was 5'11. 17 he was 5'11 and I was 6'0. 18 He was 6'0.5" and I was still 6'0. 19 he is now about 187 / 6'1.5" and I am still 6'0, so he has outgrown me. Being a late bloomer, it is very likely that you will grow past 17, which gives you at least another 2 years. That's easily enough time to achieve 6'1, And I'd be a bit surprised if you didn't reach 6'0. Your parents are both solid heights as well, which may help.
John on Dane Cook
He's closer to 5'11 than 6'0 imo. Lower the height to 5'11.
Shaun on Sylvester Stallone
Yeah Rising and look at Sly's torso as well in comparison to Sheen's. This is why I think the people who think he is 5 ft 7 are so absurd. He actually has the torso of a guy in the 5'11-6' range but the legs of a 5'8" guy I think.
Shaun on Ben Affleck
@Steven. Seriously you think he is as low as 6'1"? I doubt he'd measure under 6'2" at any time of the day. I think he's a 6'3" out of bed kinda guy like Challenger #5.
Ikbob on Rob Paul
Rob, when someone wears lifts, where does it normally bulge? I know a guy who think wears lifts cause he has visually become taller and always stands in an awkward way but I can't really tell if he is wearing lifts or not.
[Editor Rob: the front part of the shoe/sneaker might look a bit tight because the foot is at an angle, or his laces bulge a bit more.
it can be hard to tell though with jeans/trousers covering, but if you saw his footwear side on, his ankle might be high up which is a giveaway.]
Shaun on Ben Affleck
@ Babby
I think you've got your wires crossed. The post about 5'9.5"-5'11 being ideal was by johno who is obviously shortish by the way he downgrades everybody by two inches. My post was a response to the message saying 5'10" was silly for Beckham as he looked a few inches taller than Clooney in which I copied his message in response. For a start Beckham and Di Caprio are a solid 5'11", Keanu is around 6'1", Bale 6' and Depp 5'9" ish and I would never write people's names in lower casing!. My last post was the one about Lan Jiao I think and the one before replying how ridiculous Johno's post was. 6'2 with 5'4 does not look very freaky at all.

No way. I saw him come off a bus at a concert he was going to perform in. He's 5'5"- 5'6" max. I also have a friend who used to know him in the NYC scene in the early 70s. He hung out with Joe Namath and she said he's short. She said he's no where near 5'10".

@maio says on 1/Feb/12
@ avi
i think between Djokovic and Ana there're around 6 cm/2,25 in, so i think 182 cm is fair for her.
i think she always looked a little over 5 ft 11 in/180 cm...
i look anywhere from 5'11 (as Rob said in my photo) to weak 6'1 in pictures. doesnt mean i am 6'1 or 5'11. i fall in the middle. She looks 5'10-6'0 in photos...i would say 5'11 flat based on phots with Djokovic who could struggle with 6'2 himself...
avi on Rob Paul
@[Editor Rob: there could be near 2 inches in that photo]
even so Rob you don't seem convinced it is a real 2 inches. could be 1.75 but he claims almost 6'3!! this was a few years back where iwas weak 5'11 and he seemed 6'1. now he is 6'2 zone and im about 6'0 so the margins are the same. most "tall" people i see are shorter than him by a tad. and the ones taller are no more than an inch or 1.5 tops. I can't understand how he could claim this though height of 6'3 when im 6'0 flat. no way he has 3 inches on me even if in shoes while i'm barefoot...
[Editor Rob: I guess the question is, to you, does he look 3 inches taller in person, if not then maybe he's nearer 6ft 2.]
da_truth on Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy and Tim Tebow looked almost the same height last night on his show... I don't know, Fallon always looked 5'11" to 6', so is Tebow not really 6'3"? Tebow looked about 1 maybe 2 inches taller than Jimmy, but not much more.

They are clearly very similar in height. There is no 2" difference. That is absurd.

Nah James, he loves himself I think. I saw him on Pop Idol boasting about how many albums he would sell and his mannerisms which wreaked of a pretentious douchebag. And you can tell when he is interviewed by a female presenter he really thinks he is the s**t but he does have good reason to feel very confident I think.
Haze on Nicole Polizzi
After checking out some more photos I gotta agree that Pauly is a little taller than I previously thought. Could see him 5'8.75 so 5'9 isn't out of the question. So using him as the base I think I could add .5" to my estimates.

Obvious to you maybe. I pretty sure he was just wearing sneakers, like he always does.
Anyone check out the Aikman/Hogan links I posted? It's pretty clear they're about the same height when both have the same posture. I would bet if Hogan were measured today with perfect posture, he would be in the 6'4" range. He just comes across as being 6'3" or so because his posture is usually really bad. In his prime, he was about 6'6".
Here is the Aikman/Hogan clip again:

They are lined up with each, have similar posture, and are the same height.
Shaun on General Height
Yeah I apologise Gaga if I've come across badly to you. But I try to be as honest as possible about my appearance and situation as its good to share how you feel or think with people even if at times they don't want to hear it as it is too embarrassing to discuss with people face to face. Sometimes I can rant on about the tall dark and handsome thing a bit because I'm blond and blue eyed and far from "polished" looking and some days I feel less positive about it than others. Some days I'll be more positive about it if my skin is feeling cooler and think I look quite good but it really gets to me at times and I often wonder what things would be like if I was looking a lot different. The worst part for me is the dry skin and burning I have which never makes me feel quite right in myself, luckily I am seeing a specialist on that sometime.
Yes Tom Cruise is a very handsome guy but yeah that is his least attractive part for sure, but nobody is perfect. I can understand how people can be conscious of it because its stuck right in the middle of your face! For me my nose shape itself looks fine but the skin on it is often red and pigmented like my cheeks and I am drawn to that when I look in the mirror and I dislike that. But you are a model and stuff so you must generally have a great look and have quite sharp features to do that. And you can always aim to bulk up if you feel you are a bit skinny, you can change that!
I tend to forget at times that most people have insecurities of some kind so this is why I like posting here as I know there are people here who also have hang ups, even not solely on height. Alex is a regular poster on here and for some reason is interested in height and he's also on the higher side of '6 I think and like you or I, generally feels plenty tall enough in public. All I know is if you're anything like me its not your height that is mostly on your mind, that is a more positive thing for you really, but its some aspect of your appearance which leads you to think about how people look and be interested in things like height or physique and compare yourself to other people. I'm a bit obsessed with the idea of feeling "secure" and physically and mentally being as good and developed as you can possibly be, I'll admit that. Which I why I work out quite a bit and eat very healthily as I feel I am improving myself as I can set myself a goal with it but it bugs me that I can't change my face and colouring! I think its because there are so many people in the world its wanting to feel you are 100% as good as anybody else wherever you go. For me life is pointless if you can't strive to constantly improve yourself and achieve something. And where ever you go you'll always see a massive range of different looks and people living life from a completely different body and perspective. So that's why I tend to talk about darker people or/and very athletic and confident 6'4" guys as there are some people like that and I view that as looking more "secure" and as some sort of optimum when it comes to physical appearance and feeling very positive about it, not that their height is actually ideal compared to the general population which I'd agree with Greg on. And there are plenty of guys who are average or short in stature and good looking and should feel "secure" too and I'm sure there are a great number of average height blokes who feel very confident. It is difficult to explain but I'm sure some people here can understand a little on what I mean in regards to wanting to feel you are as good as anybody. Some things in life help put things in perspective for you and see that what you've got is actually quite good but I think for success it is vital you are overall quite comfortable in yourself and not think about it too much, even if there are certain things you wish you could change.

Federer is 6'1 but not much more...not positive about the extra quarter of an inch...Nadal is 1/2 inch shorter than Federer and a little over an inch shorter than Djokovic.
The players are all measured, usually barefoot but not always. (It should be apparent who isn't since tennis shoes usually add about an inch). Also there are cases where the measurement is clearly not accurate, disregarding whether they were measured barefoot or not. So the measurements while a good guide are not verbatim.

Djokovic did in fact get listed at 6'3 on TV, I've seen this before; I don't think it's the Australian Open, but rather ESPN's TV coverage that has him at that height. Their website has him at his correct height. It's been going for awhile now.. I noticed that last year too. It's either a mistake that no one cared to correct or he was measured in shoes for something.

It's actually not that rare for very tall people to underbill themselves. Alan Napier was 6'6", and I believe he said 6'4". Christoper Lee said 6'4", while he was 6'5". A friend of my mother is at the very least 6'6", maybe even 6'7", and he claims 6'4.5". Mom didn't believe my height because of it!

Ikbob says on 1/Feb/12
@Henrik
About the Swedish average, something that I have noticed is that most men tend to fall in the average category around 180cm (177-183) putting most at average and less being short/tall. However when it comes to women I usually get astonished by how many tall women there are even with an average of 166cm. It always feels like there are loads of women in the 174-178 range on a regular basis. I don't really understand why there is such huge variation when it comes to swedish women. Have you also noticed this or is it just me?
I have felt something similar. I feel like women most of the time either are tall or shorter (like the beginning of 160cm). More rarely do they fall into the average range. I have also seen plenty of families where there's a lot of height gap (at least 15-20 cm) between the males and females.

Brian 6ft 4in on General Height
@Henrik, Danesh appears to be 6'3.5" - 6'4.5". His weight is more difficult guess. He doesn't seem to have a particularly large frame, so I would estimate him at 170 - 180.
@fricanman, agreed, that question is not fair. Assuming an average height of 5'9.5" and a standard deviation (SD) of 2.75", three SDs below the mean is 5'1.25"; this is the bottom .25% - .3% of all men. A 5' man would, of course, be well past 3 SDs below the mean, perhaps the bottom .1% or so? (At this point, the estimations become exceedingly difficult.)

@Fricanman I not going to disagree with what u said..I would just add that it becomes very difficult for guyz below 5ft to adjust themselves in this society...In my country India u would find loads of such guys..even in urban society..overall the male average is 5ft 5 and the female is 5ft.
This goes to show that height is an important factor which can't be ignored just like a trash..but at the same it is 'not a big thing' to be worried about.If u have made a good life for yourself nobody can harm or affect u..but yes in dating n all he would be a complete flop..!!

6'6.5 is too much. He was an inch taller than 6'4.75 Cleese when they appeared together, footwear the same. I know of a guy who's 6'6 who said he taller than Jillette when they stood together. So I'd say pushing 6'6 at his peak, and around 6'5 flat today.
Haze on Bradley Cooper
xyz did you really just say that those converse add an inch? Have you ever wore converse? Complete nonsense. Obvious troll.
the shredder on Mel Gibson
Rob , did he claim 5'10 ?
[Editor Rob: I'm always looking for a direct claim.]

Brad , funny that you nailed G on the money but was awful with the height challenges next to a measured man .

@avi It would be interesting if u can merge the two pics and see how tall your taller friend is if compared with the 5ft 9 person.
New guy on Jimmy Fallon
Well, I just saw Jimmy next to Tim Tebow on his show who is listed at 6'3. He didn't look any more than 1 inch shorter than him. I'd say Jimmy is 6'2 like another poster said! But, it could be he wears heels in his dress shoes. But, Tim was also wearing dress shoes. Hmmmm
Md on Jimmy Fallon
Crazy, Tim Tebow is on Jimmy Fallon's show, right now, and I swear they are EXACTLY the same height, and both are in regular dress shoes. Tim is listed as what? 6'3"? And, Jimmy is not over 6 feet, so my head is spinning.
Visal on Jennifer Lopez
I love all about jennifer appearences. She's so cute, tall, and slim. But one thing that i want her 2 be more better is that her hair make up. Sometimes her hair make up is not fit 2 her face. I wish her more beautiful. Thanks,
MartialArtFan on Height Request
I would love to know Thailand star Tony Jaa's height. He is listed almost everywhere as 5"6 and in my opinion that looks pretty accurate. I'm a big fan and I want to know his exact height! :)
xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms) on Andy Hallett
@rob Your eyelevel is below his chin..even jenny's whereas with ryan reynolds mamuns eyelevel is 1/2 in above his chin and mamun being fractionally shorter than u..so he can be less than 6ft 2..do u agree that your eyelevel would be below the chin of a legit 6ft 2 guy..??
[Editor Rob: I don't have a picture with Andy, although with any 6ft 2 my eyes would be below their chin.
maybe Ryan was caught in a movement so might not be at his tallest,]
xyz.reg(185.4cms-186.9cms) on Height Challenge
@rob If a legit 6ft 5 can be guessed 6ft 6-7 even 6ft 8..then a 6ft guy could also be guessed 1-2in more than his height depending on his physique.
[Editor Rob:
with good posture a true 6ft man could easily fool a good proportion of people into thinking they are 6ft 1.

Silent d on Howard Stern
I remember on letterman he looked close to 2m. 6 foot 5. He just has that lanky build. Controversial but he says it as it is.
Silent d on Simon Baker
177cm but on ellen he is struggling to be 177cm. Weird. 177cm.
Silent d on Ellen DeGeneres
Next to simon baker who is at least 176cm she looked 170cm. He had dress shoes on too. I doubt simon baker is 174cm. 5 foot 6 or shorter is a joke. She is taller than her wife who is 5 foot 6. She stands her ground against jamie foxx and other celebrities who wear lifts. 170cm.
Silent d on Don Cheadle
He is short. In rush hour 2 he was shorter than jackie chan and chris tucker. In crash, he is about the same height maybe slightly taller than jennifer esposito who always looked 5 foot 7. Next to craig ferguson he looks 172cm but he was wearing a hat. 171cm is right on.
Silent d on David Letterman
I assume 187cm is right on because no one is commenting anymore.
Silent d on Bill Murray
Murray had an inch footwear advantage over letterman and they were about the same height. I think murray had an extra lift. 185cm. I think regis was wearing lifts to make him look taller next to bill and david.
Pacman on Lou Diamond Phillips
"anonymous says on 11/Feb/11
If Lou is 6' then I'm Shaq. Watch la bamba again. He looks 5'8" tops being around Mexican co-stars and Donna. And he's not even Mexican but Filipino. Believe me they don't come in 6'. Not even close."
Shut the hell up, I'm a Filipino and I'm over 6 feet. So as my friends so think before you post. And he's proud to be a Filipino and not mexican.
Pete Procrastinator on General Height
@MrKillerShrimp: Oops! Sorry mate! I think in Belgium your languages are Dutch, French and Flemish. BTW, Ieper (Ypres) is a lovely place. I visited the Flanders WW1 sites in 2008. I think we should thank the Belgians for the respect shown to 'the fallen'. Likewise in France. @Kristen: You're nearly right. The Norwegian Vikings settled in the NE Highlands, Orkneys & Shetlands. And in my experience, there are more fair-headed and tall there. The western islands I understand are predominately Gaels, but again in my experience, they're mostly a short people. There are conflicting views about the Picts, but where they were the inhabitants, there are lots of people with jet black hair, swarthy skin colour and elfin-shaped faces. Similarly Ireland has many with this appearance. My guess being that the Picts were generally very short, but with the mixing in later centuries, you will also see tall raven-haired people and short blonde people. In the south-west of Scotland were mainly Scots (who were actually from Ireland, like with the Gaels) and some Picts. In the south-east many were a mixture of Scots and Angles (ie. English). It is said that the Picts (being dark featured) are descended from the Lost Tribe of Israel (Thirteenth). Whether correct, or not, a great story.
richinkle on Madeleine Stowe
5'-6" max. Always looks at least 2" shorter than 5'-8" Emily VanCamp in Revenge.
Otis on General Height
I have a quick question guys, I'm 15 1/2 and about 179 cm tall. I really want to get to 185 but I'm not sure if I will make it.
My dad was 5'9 peak and my mum 5'7 but they both come out of rather poor families so I doubt my ancestors had ideal nutrition and grew to their potential.
I was quite a late bloomer, always the shortest, high pitched voice and so on.
Now I'm becoming manlier but I'm still behind my friends. Was anybody similiar/was the same height at my age? How tall did you end up?Do you think I'll reach 185?
Pete Procrastinator on General Height
@Cindy, and subsequently @CK, ask a valid question (IMO) about what is considered "short". And @Cindy's point (about our comments) got me thinking to be extra careful in what I state. @MD I accept your contribution re who's the tallest (Americans or Brits). I do think you might agree, that if present trends continue, the British will be the taller.
Anon on Brooke Nevin
I remember her from Animorphs and The 4400. She certainly looks a lot different now.

Md on Ryan Gosling
No he's not. If that was the case, Gyllenhaal would be nothing more than 5'9", which is patently ridiculous. Try again.
Voiceless Dental Fricative on Richard Schiff
If Whitford is 5'10.5 he's 5'9.5. 5'9.75 is not untenable.
Cranberries on Darius Campbell
AT LEAST a VERY solid 6'3.5". Also has an enormous head...
Brazilian Fellow 5ft11.25in on General Height
@Gaga.
Agreed. We think that it plays a huge role, because in fact, if you ask women whether they'd date a short guy, 50% of them will straight out answer NO. In reality, many of them hope "Mr. Right Guy" to have a good 6in on them, more due to social pressures than to anything else. Once your 5'9" girl whom rules anyone under 6ft out of her dating pool, realize that Mr. Right Guy is actually 5'4", she'll perhaps not even realize those 5in until someone asks whether he bought his ladder to reach her mouth. A clubber mate is one those persons. Last week, I saw the whole 5'10" frame of hers, holding hands with a 5'7" boy. He's not rich I reckon. Oh, and she'd some heels.
Jacob on Ryan Seacrest
I saw him in tennis shoes at the AI auditions. I was about 2.5 inches taller than him and I am a legit 5'8.75 before bed at night.
ANDREA[ITA] on Clive Owen
Rob, you said you were gonna see him almost 2 months ago but he's still listed at 6'2. Come on, this is not the way a legit 6'2 guy should look. He looks tall but not 6'2!
[Editor Rob: I found the quote and he did go and mention he doesn't stand as tall as he can. Maybe it's quite possible he can look just 6ft 1 a lot of the time, but might measure nearer 6ft 2 than 1.]
ANDREA[ITA] on Alessandro Gassman
ROB? You really think he looks 192? I really dont know what to think about him. He can look just a bit taller than average height people but at the same time, when he's with legit tall people, he looks very tall. For example, i saw some pics of him with Kim Rossi Stuart, who i think is no less than 6'2, and he actually has at least an inch on him. He's still a mistery to me. Sorry for the question but why do you add people that you know very little? Where did you see Gassman? I mean, you could add other italian people that are surely more famous than Gassman...
[Editor Rob: I don't have enough knowledge about Italian actors, but since he claims to be this tall, maybe it's worth just listing him at it.]

johno on Will Smith
As stated at the very beginning, smith is between 5'11.5 - 6'0.5
@andrea[ITA] Why are you getting worked up for, over and over again? I think it is obvious to alot of contributors on here that smith isn't 6'1.5 or above. There are more contributors to discuss then just james. Thats just jame's opinion or maybe he doesn't really believe it either? god knows.
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m- 1.84 m on Ciaran Hinds
He was a strong 183 cm peak, maybe looking more 5ft11.75 (182 cm) in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
johno on Jonathan Ross
themotorbikeman says on 29/Jan/12
Looks 6ft to me, Pady McGuiness was the same height as someone on take me out who said he was 6ft, plus the 6 footer was barefoot for one of the rounds and looked marginely shorter than Pady in shoes ( so both barefoot i would say would be the same height). And Pady looks the same height as Jonathan Ross on 'Friday night with Jonathan Ross' So i'd say 6ft possibly 6ft 0.5 for Jonathan.

johno on Height Challenge
johno says on 19/Jan/12
I guess challenger 15 really humbled alot of people. A 6'5 is simply enormous so all these speculated 6'4-6'5 or there abouts candidates need to be downgraded ie vince vaughn, jeff goldblum, hasselhoff, the rock, jeremy clarkson, lennox lewis, vitali klitschko etc Only klitschko would compare to this guy. Rob hardly reaches his chin :-S and a true 6'4 wouldn't be much shorter .
_______________
robs already pointed out on big shows page that the way the shot was taken makes him look 1 inch taller because in truth rob "should" have reached his chin Click Here in a comparison challenger 13 Click Here would come out more than ~1.5 inches shorter even though he was measured 191.7cm
_________________________________________________________________________
As i stated earlier, robs head would reach his chin, with his head around 9 - 9.5 inches would equate to a 6'5 range fella. A 6'4 would be around the lower lip. In any angle, this guy could give off a strong 6'6 impression easily like any other 6'5 guy.
johno on Christian Bale
..................Point being, he's very far from the 6'0 mark and similary, not close to the 5'11 figure. Best he could be is 5'10.5 but could even shorter as evident by the tom hardy comparisons.
johno on Christian Bale
@chris, your first link, you can't tell wear the actors are standing and what on thus bale gains a bit of height and in your second link where the entire bodyshots becomes avaliable, bale barely has any height on the 5'9 - 5'9.5 tom hardy.
Plus, any height he does have at the top of his head is due to his rubber mask. The tip of his head is not that high thus, tom hardy and bale and nearly equals in height.
Tom hardy 5'9 - 5'9.5
Christian bale 5'9.5 - 5'10 in comparison to hardy
Jim Longie on Paul Walker
Chris and ANDREA[ITA], was that an off-the-cuff guess or a flat-out joke? Reference my 16/Oct/11 post for an explainion on Pual's listing.
WalkingTall 6 ft 3.25 on Dwayne Johnson The Rock
I just cant see him being taller than josh hartnett,ashton kutcher,ben affleck,brandon routh.....etc,and all of these guys are listed at 6 ft 2.5 inches,so i think that 'The Rock' is 189 cm tall at most,when compared to these guys mentioned before !!!
mooky on Eva Longoria
I saw a pic of Eva with her 10 year old co-star, Madison De la Garza. They are both wearing slippers. They are both the same height!! Madison is actually quite heavier than Eva, I must say. By at least 30-40 lbs!
Scot on Billy Connolly
In Scotland it is not really related to height. Many short people are called 'Big Yin' just as fat people might be called 'Slim'! It is a type of joke used as a term of endearment or respect.
BritBrat on Taylor Swift
btw pictures r kind of a weird way to judge. in that pic of her & Maggie G, she was waay shorter than her & I'm sure Maggie isn't like 6'3 or 4 :p
BritBrat on Taylor Swift
Im not calling her a liar, but walking by her, she & I should have been the same height & I swear she was 2 inches shorter than me. also, I forgot to mention was with my ex-beau, he's 6'1 or 2 idrk :P & she was significantly shorter. idk by how much in comparison because i was a little starstruck.
JohnL401985 on Pete Doherty
Pete is apparently between 6'3 and 6'3.5.....He's definitely more than 6'2 anyway as Tom Chaplin from Keane is 6'2 or thereabouts and Pete looks like he has a good inch and a half on him
miko on Rob Paul
Rob is there such thing as a 'walking height', I only ask this because I usually seem to come up shorter against people of a similar height when walking past them.
For example, I'm 6'0 and a girl in our office is 5'10, standing next to her I'm clearly taller, but walking past her I sometimes feel the same height or shorter.
[Editor Rob: maybe you have a longer stride or poorer posture/head bent down a bit when walking compared to your normal standing stance.]
haha on Mark Wahlberg
Barefoot 5'7. In the departed, he was standing on a box most scenes, and it looked it. Google image mark wahlberg the departed... Short legs+arms. Reminds me of my dad's proportions exactly, and he's 5'7.
Leticia on David Hyde Pierce
In the season 8 episode "Hooping Cranes," when Niles, Frasier, and Martin enter the apartment after Niles makes that half-court shot at the Seahawks game, Frasier says, "Now entering the apartment, a 5'9" psychiatrist from Seattle, Niles Crane!" And in the season 1 episode "You Can't Tell a Crook by His Cover," Niles says that Daphne is 5'9" and 3 quarters.
Big Mike on Ving Rhames
Yea I thought he was like 5ft11 or 6ft in like Dawn of the Dead and Pulp Fiction he looked like an inch or two shorter than 6ft1 Travolta

yeah maybe.. hes a little bit shorter than will friedle who is said to be 5ft9
dicksock on Hulk Hogan
Vegas: Just because edge has to have another surgery, that doesn't mean he'll end up anywhere near as bad as Hogan. Only time will tell, but if he stays out of the ring, I'd bet the house that Edge will be just fine. He may be limited physically, but he went be walking around like an 90 year old man and unable to straighten his legs. Edge's problems were caused by wrestling. I think Hogan's were caused by steroid abuse.
Marc on Ben Savage
that sounds about right will friedle is little bit taller than him on this site they listen him as 5ft9 and hes not too much taller than him
dicksock on Andre The Giant
Boss: Rob isn't "fighting" here. Chaz is referring to the posters on this site. The majority of them think Andre was 6'10"-7'. Even Red just stated that he thinks Andre was a minimum of 6'10.5". Also, if you read Chaz's post carefully, he says the 7'+ guys need help. Rob has Andre listed at 7', not 7'+.
lol93 on Rob Paul
rob what is the difference about 5 ft 8.75 in and 5 feet 9 in ?aren't the same? can you explain to me the difference in cm
[Editor Rob: it's like 0.6cm]
Marc on Justin Bieber
ellen said on her show that she was 5ft9 at least i think thats what she said anyway she is a tall woman and justin was like an inch and a half shorter than her.in recent pictures he stands a little talller than selena who is i think 5ft5 and the guy probably wears thick shoes idk i dont think 5ft8 is his height in betwene 5ft6 or 7 he did grow a lot
Murdock37 on Mick Foley
I just watched Mick Foley on 'Celebrity Wife Swap'.
Throughout the episode he looked no more than 6 feet tall.
That is until he stood next to Antonio Sabato, Jr.
Mick Foley is listed on here & a 'particular movie/tv site' at 6'2".
Antonio is listed on the latter site at 6'1".
When Mick was next to Antonio he looked 1-2 inches taller.
Therefore I estimate Mick to stand 6'2"-6'3"
Thus Mick averages 6'2.5", half an inch taller than this or the other site.
Unless Antonio boosts his height then, who knows?
If I ever meet Mick I will take 2 photos with him.
1 full shot footwear and all & 1 medium close up for clarity.
Then we should finally be able to determine his true height, once and for all!
Although meeting Mick Foley is easier said than done...
Marc on Zac Efron
this chick in my class had this teen magazine listing him as 5ft7
Connor on User Heights
Hey rob, you are the best at height thanks for answering my new question, hope you dont get frustrated me asking the same questions over time, its just ive never used this site before i like it though it is very good looking. I just wonder when my new comment gets posted as i cant find it anywhere. Hope you dont get mad and im sure you understand, did you say that a new comment gets posted every 12 hours i'd really like to know because i get confused quite a lot lol
[Editor Rob: I thought your comment on this page was basically the same as the other comment I answered.]
<><> on Justin Bieber
lil wayne is listed as 5'5.5 on this site
heres pics with justin taken recently
Click Here
Click Here
(minus justins hat)
they look the same height to me, lil wayne even looks a tiny bit taller
so maybe bieber is around 5'5.5 but that is if lil wayne is really 5'5.5 because some believe hes shorter
Click Here
lil wayne and floyd mayweather whos listed as 5'8.
lil wayne doesnt look 5'5.5 to me but i'll give him the benifit of the doubt
but anyways the max height justin can be is 5'5.5 (5'5 still seems more accurate)
but just saying theres no way alfredo is 5'4 because like people have said justin has around 3 inches on him making him in the 5'2 to 5'2.5 range
if he really was 5'4 that would make justin around 5'7 which would mean lil wayne is 5'7 when we know for a fact thats impossible
cant argue with that when proooofs right in your face.
SAK on Novak Djokovic
While watching a Lleyton Hewitt match @ Australian Open 2012, a commentator said that Lleyton is 6ft but looks short because he has a long body and short legs and wears very baggy shorts. In actual fact Lleyton is 5ft10(1778cm) or 5ft9.5(177cm) @ best.
Roger on John Cleese
John was never 6ft 5 tall, I will prove it, I met him in July 2003 when I was 21 I was 6ft 5 then,and still are I was about 2 inches bigger than him. 6ft 3 today 6ft3.5 in peak
Danimal on Hulk Hogan
kobe24 says on 31/Jan/12
Hulkster seems to be the same heiggt as Aikman now. 6'4 1/4" now. 6'7 1/4" then.
Shorter than Aikman today. In his prime, probably would have had 2" on him.
Gaga-183.2cm-185.1cm on General Height
Ok, fair enough, also i would like to thank you for responding to some of my kind of agressive posts with reasonable and humble arguments ;), we all have complexes, i do, i dont like my tom cruise nose, and some little thing only i can notice about myself, also sometimes i think i am too thin, but then i also think that i would probably be doing some of the things that i do if i hadnt my physique even with the things i dont like, same applies to any other aspect of ours, little things make everyone special or not, but at least define us some way.
