He said he is like 5-10 now look like he on steroids got super big since that movie the longest yard kaka22 says on 31/Jul/08
Man, he looks huge because he's so muscular(steroids?). I met him a couple of years ago, im 5'10, and he looked about 2 inches shorter. So he's probably 5'8.
Gus says on 29/Jul/08
i though he was about 6ft i didnt think he was that small Bj25492008 says on 28/Jul/08
I think people always say he looks about 5'7" is , because of his build. It's really large. Just like slim people usually look taller, people with large build's almost always look shorter than they are. yam 507 says on 28/Jul/08
ciara has been used heel thats the reason. Davey says on 24/Jul/08
Hes 5`7 rob,You are way offffffff on this one. Davey says on 24/Jul/08
Hes 5`7 rob,You are way offffffff on this one. john says on 23/Jul/08
I think he's shorter than that. On the "Stepped on my J's" video, Ciara seemed like she was much taller than Nelly and JD. If she's 5'8", then Nelly has to be about 5'6". Courtney says on 5/Jul/08
He performed a hip hop performance honoring LL Cool J. Busta Rhymes told Nelly that he thought he was LL when he first appeared on stage. Nelly told him, "LL Cool J is over 6 feet and I'm only 5'9" ". Those were the words that came out of Nelly's mouth on National TV. Obviously people have met him and determined that's not true. Why does he continue to lie about his height? Is it really that big of a deal? Max says on 28/Jun/08
im 6'5" and i was about my chest level, so at max he's 5'10" MD says on 26/Jun/08
He is definitely not 5'8.5". BTW, anyone notice how buff he's gotten over the past few years? jefferson steelflex says on 26/Jun/08
nelly is 5'8.5 ????
that's bulls**t.
i met him in atlanta last year.i am 6'2 and i had a head over him.
he is 5'7 max mike says on 19/Jun/08
i think he should be downgraded to 5'8" as i just saw making the video for ushers new song make love in this club and he and usher and kanye west where all the same height and usher and kanye are listed at 5'8" which i think is right. Davey says on 5/May/08
sweetchari i agree with what tommy said your stupid.nelly is 5'7 max. ben says on 17/Apr/08
in the video dilema, kelly rowland looks substantially taller than nelly, yet accroding to this, nelly is taller than her at 5"9/7 wheras kelly rowland is 5"7
what does this say? that nelly is at most 5"5 inches sweetchari says on 7/Apr/08
to tommyy not only is your comment racist its plain stupid... Andre says on 13/Oct/07
I guess he is still 5'7 flat, adding 2inches from his shoes, outsidesole 1 inch and insole 1 inch makes 2 inch makin him 5'9 max tommyy says on 12/Sep/07
these american rappers where ther pants/trousers low to represent their relatives from about 100 years ago who where slaves and had their belts conviscated by their owners due to them maybe being used as a weapon and so their clothes naturally were baggy Lmeister says on 12/Jun/07
Guys like Nelly wear the thickest sneakers/boots all the time. For instance Nike Air Force 1 Mids have thick heels. I usually wear Nike Tennis Classic or similar low cut retro sneakers. Last weekend I tried Nike Air Force 1 Mids. While wearing them I looked easily 5'9'' eventhough I am 5'8''. + U can easily add one inch insole. Brad says on 25/Apr/07
Rocks with cubic zirconia ice. 50Cent said his bling is too clean. Ripped him a new one. glenn says on 8/Apr/07
why do some of these clowns have their pants falling off their ass? MD says on 8/Apr/07
He doesn't wear it, anymore. It was originally worn to show support for his brother who was in prison. prolificaspects001 says on 7/Apr/07
Why does he have a band-aid on his face all the time? glenn says on 18/Mar/07
im bad at guessing weight.in that pic im in my 160s.now im in my 180s.though i looked way worse in my 180s 12 years ago.my weight fluctuates.i was as low as 117 in 1988,5-7.look my best at 160.friends of mine tell me ridiculous weight claims and sometimes its there chicken legs or mega fat thick legs and ass that throws me off in weight.i have muscular legs.nelly must be 165-170? muscle also ways more than fat. ryan says on 8/Jan/07
i have been almost face to face with nelly and im 5 ft 10 exact accordin to the doc, he not that big he is around 5 f 8, how ever he is pretty built pimp juice says on 30/Nov/06
when i met nelly in times square at the espn zone, he was like around 5'8 or 5'9 deff Tanemah says on 22/Sep/06
I meet nelly in hershey pa and im 5'2 i would say he is defnity like 5'9 cuz my mother is 5'8 and he is taller then her gems says on 14/Sep/06
i met nelly backstage in manchester an i am 5´4 an he is defanetly 4 inches biger than me x Matt says on 20/Jul/06
I met nelly when he was here in sydney... since I'm right on 5'7 he's no more than 5'8 since he was a little taller than me. He is BIG though lol ripped up MD says on 8/Jul/06
Editor Rob,
It's time to take the half inch off, now. Glenn says on 5/Jun/06
He is 5-8. 5\'10chick says on 4/Jun/06
he is like 5'9 to 5'10 because kelly rowland is 5'8 and in the "dillema" video she had on like 2 to 3 inch heels and he had on timberlands and they were the same height ashley hernandez says on 23/May/06
nelly looks to be 5'8' an inche taller then the guy beside him , and nelly is so fine Ball-A-Hallic says on 21/Apr/06
well also Jake thats with spikes on which gives u like an inch so adam's probally 5'9 and nelly's like 5'8.5
Matt says on 10/Feb/06
In an interview for the movie The Longest Yard (or whatever the recent football movie Nelly was in was called), Nelly comments that he felt tiny among the cast at 5'10", or 5'11 "in Timberlands."
[Editor Rob: yeah, he's growing again...expect him to be 5ft 11 next year barefoot] Anonymous says on 1/Feb/06
lmao funny pick of Glenn
And yeah nellyville's a solid 5'8. Ball-A-Hallic says on 28/Jan/06
He looks str8 up 5'8 maybe 5'7.5 cuz he's always wearin AF1s so yea 5'8 i'd say if Glenn's 5'8, he n Nelly look the same. PRISCILLA says on 19/Jan/06
UMMM... YOU TOALLY ROCK CAN YOU SEND ME A PICTURE OF YOUR GRILLZ? CoolJ says on 2/Jan/06
Looks 5'8 or so. Glenn says on 2/Jan/06
your right elio.easier to gauge height at 5-8. MD says on 1/Jan/06
Viper, I kind of agree. Vanessa Minnillo of MTV is 5'8" in heels, and is a good measure. She was as tall, if not a little taller. I'd still give him 5'8", but nothing more. elio says on 1/Jan/06
I wonder what these celebrities will think when they see their pics with Glenn posted on here? :) There'll be warning posters all over hollywood with Glenn's pic on.
I think the best thing about all these Glenn pics is that he's around that average height mark. Very easy to see who's standing under average and above average height than in would be if Glenn was 6'2".
[Editor Rob: Tom will be thanking Glenn! So will Sly!] Viper652 says on 1/Jan/06
Dude looked no more then 5-7 on MTV news year Eve, and that is being generous. I know he is 5-7, but he looked 5-6 in that one long camera shot of him. J. says on 31/Dec/05
Maybe it's my computer but none of Glenn's photos are appearing.
[Editor Rob: you should be able to see it now...and the other ones] Glenn says on 30/Dec/05
Im posting more now!Glad you like them!
[Editor Rob: yep, thanks man. Very interesting!] elio says on 30/Dec/05
I think all the glenn pics should be put together somewhere on this site, they're invaluable! STL Nunya says on 7/Dec/05
Nelly is No WHERE NEAR 5'10, sorry. Whoever claims to be 5'8 or 5'9 or 5'10 and alleges that Nelly is taller than them either has not seen him standing, up close, or is themself, lying about their own height. Everybody who has seen or who knows Nelly knows he is not a tall guy. If he truly is 5'9 (which is not that tall for a guy anyway) it's with timbs on! (and that still may be pushing it) But I would guess that he looks more like 5'7 1/2-5'8 CoolJ says on 7/Nov/05
A.D
Cuz celebrities never lie.. right? A.D says on 7/Nov/05
he is 5-10 he even said it in a fitness magazine. Viper652 says on 2/Nov/05
Wow, he does look shorter then 5-9 there. And Ive always questioned Quddus's height of 6-1 as well, crazy. CoolJ says on 1/Nov/05
Viper: Check out the "Quddus and Nelly" link below.. Viper652 says on 1/Nov/05
Im surprised Nelly is listed at 5-8.5. From looking at pictures he looks a solid 5-9 to me. Ball-A-Hallic says on 20/Oct/05
U can c in The Longest Yard Chris Rock who says he's 5'11 more like 5'10ish maybe smaller has like 2 inches on Nelly so if Chris is say 5'9.5 or a solid 5'10 then Nelly's like a solid 5'8 maybe brushin the 5'9 mark wit his AF1s on DERRTY. CoolJ says on 9/Oct/05
That's more like a 4.5-5" difference between Nelly and Quddus.. Quddus could see over his head angel says on 8/Oct/05
I always thought Nelly was tall but now I've seen this picture with Quddus. I believe that he 5'9''. lol CoolJ says on 4/Oct/05
Rob,
Judging from that picture you just posted, I'd say he's less than 5'9.. considering the other guy is 6'1"
[Editor Rob: Q I think is a legit 6ft 1, maybe scraping that 186cm, not a weak 6ft 1er like a 184-5 ;) Nelly can be a weak 5ft 9] psyched says on 29/Sep/05
I think Nelly looks like 5'11'' close to Kelly Rowland who is I think 5'7''-5'8''. He looks 2 inches taller than her.
[Editor Rob: Nelly is not a millimetre more than what he says he is '5ft 9', and even then there is some doubt he might be rounding up a fraction ;)] clipse says on 20/Sep/05
I read an article in a magazine about beyonce, she says that she met nelly and he was short. She said he was about 5'6 J. says on 27/Aug/05
Ah hah! At last, the press gets his height in the right range: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/312961p-267727c.html.
'The sports angle appealed to Nelly, too. "When I was little, I thought about playing pro football," he says. "Unfortunately, I just grew to this size." He gestures at his trim 5-foot-8 frame.'
J. says on 27/Aug/05
Nelly comfirms his height: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7955824/
"I’m not very big. ... I’m about 5-foot-9, 175 pounds. I used to be about 5-foot-7, 150 pounds."
Based on my eyewitness account of seeing Nelly, I take it that he meant to say 'I'm STILL 5-foot-7'. Another example of the 'Add 2 inch' method in action.
[Editor Rob: good find J. At least all those 5ft 10 listings should eventually vanish into thin air...] MHouillon says on 23/Jul/05
I´d say Nelly is a definitely 5'8.5". Absolutely. sean says on 2/Jul/05
Just saw tonight show with leno, russell crowe was also on the show, after nelly's performance, handshakes all around. Crowe looked at least an inch shorter than leno, but crowe was at least 2 inches taller than nelly. since leno is probably the most accurately listed among the 3, at 5'11, that puts crowe at 5.9-10, and nelly at 5.7-8. This show is july 1st/2nd. Ball-A-Hallic says on 20/Jun/05
After c-in parts in THE LONGEST YARD Nell looks about Sandler's height possiblly 5'8.5 if Adam's 5'9.5 Mr. R says on 3/Jun/05
Ricko, NELLY IS LYING! He's barely 5-9 if that! ricko says on 3/Jun/05
read in a mag.. nelly had said he is a 5'10, n for the first time in 4 years he cld dunk.. have my doubts on him being a full 178cm.. in an mtv with kelly rowland, their height seemed very close.. JS says on 29/May/05
Looks 173cm or so Mr. R says on 27/May/05
Did anyone see him on Leno's show the other night? He was definitely shorter than Leno. Maybe even 5-9 is too high. JS says on 27/May/05
Good point Mr. R, the NFL is USUALLY great with listing actual heights. Only on the shortest of players do the listed heights differ up to an inch. Mr. R says on 21/May/05
Nelly is one of the stars of The Longest Yard, opening next weekend. Maybe we can figure out him, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds , and others. Michael Irvin was definitely 6-2 during his playing days with the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe we can use him as our standard of measurement. But beware the camera angles, and the shoes! Anonymous says on 20/May/05
On Wire Image, there's a recent thumb of photos of Nelly standing next to Russell Simmons and his wife Kimora Lee. In the photos next to Russell, Nelly is noticably a couple inches shorter. Russell gets listed as 5'8" much of the time yet I peg him at 5'10". So, either way, Nelly is either way, is smaller than 5'9". Ball-A-Hallic says on 19/May/05
so Quddus is 6'1 ans nelly's 5'9, damn i thought he was at least 5'11 Lmeister says on 18/Apr/05
Either Nelly is really 5'9'' or there is something dodgy about his shoes. Sometimes he really looks almost as tall as PDiddy or what ever U wanna call him and sometimes he looks 2 inches shorter. Also when he is playing football he doesn't look 5'9''(kinda hard to fit lifts inside football shoes), but when he is playing basketball he appears at least 1 inch taller = ) A-Bomb says on 17/Apr/05
I can't stand Nelly, but i did read in an interview with him on the net somewhere, i think maybe at one of the hip hop websites, and Nelly flat out said in it that he was 5'8 1/2" in his sneakers and i thought nah that can't be right they must have heard wrong, but with this guy claiming he saw him upfront it wouldn't surprise me if he is only 5'7" - 5'8". J. says on 17/Apr/05
Rob, Rob, Rob ... I told you, man, I saw the guy up front and he was 5'7"- 5'8". Nothing more, nothing less. J. says on 26/Mar/05
Okay, I'm here checking out some photos from this Grammys ceremony ... alright, even though I've seen Nelly up front and I'm certain he was in the 5'7"- 5'8" range, in some of the photos on Getty Images, he's looking 5'9"+, taller than I remember him to be. So, I'm like, "Maybe I underestimated him" BUT ... then I see an intresting photo, of that Sandler moment referenced below and Nelly's a clear 1- 1.5 inch shorter. So, Nelly's 5'8" and a half then? I think that may be more accurate than 5'9". I'm telling you, he was much smaller than I would have imagined back when I saw him nearly three years ... CelebHeights Editor says on 14/Feb/05
He looked a little bit shorter than Adam Sandler when presenting a Grammy the other night. |
