I always thought Aaron Eckhart was 6'3" . To tell the truth, I was really shocked when I saw this listing. I'm not saying it's a bad height, I'm just saying I thought he was much taller. But I guess 5'11" people usually give the illusion of being taller.

DMEYER says on 17/Jan/10
this listing is good he was 1 cm or so shorter than me at 5 ft 11.25

Tom says on 18/Dec/09
Met him at the Golden Globes and he's just a little bit shorter than me, put him at exactly 5'11

He always seems fairly tall to me, but I suppose 5' 11"ish men can look tall.

That's true. I'm just under 5'11 myself and I've been told that I give off a taller appearance, that and I guess I have great posture lol.

But to Aaron, he looked about 3 inches shorter than Sam Jackson. I believe Samuel Jackson is 6'2, and is also listed that here, then yes, Aaron is right around 5'11, still a good solid height.

ballewmar - he's 5'11, which is above average, so not much of a shocker.. he looks about this height.

ballewmar says on 12/Sep/09
Wow-- only 5'11?! I'm shocked. I thought Eckhart would have been at least 6 ft. or taller. No real comparisons to share here. It's just that the 2 movies that I saw of his (Brockovich & Company of Men), he just appeared to be a tall dude. Eckhart has "tall guy features"-- long face, arms and legs-- a stretched body.
Honestly, I expected Eckhart to be 6'2 or 6'3. Guess I'm way off!

beside Josh Hartnett looks 5ft10.5

dmeyer says on 29/Jul/09
he was smaller than me by more than 0.25 in

Tom says on 28/Feb/09
I saw him at a Hollywood event. He wasn't as tall as I expected. I thought 5-10 at the time.

Christian Bale looks under 6feet more than half the time.

Gabriel says on 6/Dec/08
through out the dark knight he towered over christian bale in the bat suit and even in the dinner party scene he still looked taller i definately agree that hes close to 6 foot Christian bale looks under 6 feet to me at times

Zach # 2 says on 29/Nov/08
he was deffo wearing lifts in TDK, i thought he was 6-2" in certian scenes, dudes got great posture.

Anonymous says on 25/Nov/08
I think he's 6 ft. He's taller than both Adam Brody and Rob Lowe in Thank You for Smoking and in Dark Knight there's one scene where he and Gordon are meeting Batman on the roof and Eckhart was atleast as tall as Bale even though Bale had his Batsuit on.

thekiddd says on 5/Oct/08
He Submitted himself as 5'11". So yeah, if that was his claim he's definitely not taller than it.

Sarah says on 29/Sep/08
Maggie Gylenhaal (sp?) is 5'9", and even in heels Aaron is at least an inch taller than her (in TDK). He's also visibly taller than Gary Oldman, who is also 5'9", by at least three inches. And he's probably not lying about his height so much as he might not know for sure. So, he probably is 6ft, maybe a little taller.

In yesterday's Parade Magazine interview, Aaron is asked by author James Brady what his size is, since he used to play rugby. Aaron replied, "Normal...About 6 feet tall and a buck seventy."

Vic says on 9/Aug/08
"john
he looked taller than bale in dark knight in the scene where him, bale, and gordan were talking on the roof"

I agree. I don't know if it was the angle in which the scene was shot but he definitely looked taller to me.

yoney says on 7/Aug/08
I really believed he was taller. But in the dark knight premiere photos, he looks shorter than Christian Bale about an inch. 180 cm should be accurate.

Hello says on 4/Aug/08
No I disagree Christian Bale looks a lot taller than him watch at the part where he make him fall asleep.

Mr. R says on 1/Aug/08
There was this fantastic movie called "Thursday" with Aaron, Thomas Jane, Paulina Porozkova, Michael Jeter, and even Mickey Rourke pops up. Eckhart and Jane have numerour scenes together, and it is clear that Eckhart is at least 1.5 inches taller than Jane. When Jane's big action flick came out a few years ago, they listed him as 5-10 in the press packet, which means to me 5-9. So Aaron is 5-11 at his tallest, and probably a little shorter. This height is right.

he looked taller than bale in dark knight in the scene where him, bale, and gordan were talking on the roof.

Erica says on 27/Jul/08
Looked big enough next to 5'9" Maggie Gyllenhaal in the Dark Knight, and she was wearing heels all the time. Didn't seem an awful lot shorter than Bale, either. If not fully 6 foot I would at least give him 5'11".

Anonymous says on 9/Jul/08
jay leno is taller than him. 178-179cm no way over that.

Marco says on 12/Mar/08
I'm also surprised, i saw a picture of him standing besides Heath Ledger, who is 6'1, and he seemed to be only an inch shorter. I really gave him 6 ft.

dmeyer says on 17/Jan/08
weak 5'11 in person

dmeyer says on 7/Jan/08
looked about 5'10.5 in person but could very well be 5'11

AshnarLynx says on 23/Dec/07
I believe he's taller. 6'-6'1.

Leung says on 5/Sep/07
In terms of stature I think he looks similar to Viggo Mortensen

dmeyer says on 5/Sep/07
so look at paysheck you will see affleck tower him by 3.5 in in person he looked just shy of my height

bakariman1 says on 5/Sep/07
I've only seen Eckhart in "Erin Brokovich" and "In the Comapny of Men". I would have sworn the guy would be over 6ft at least. I am shocked he's only 5'11". I guess Eckhart just has a "towering" presence. His broad shoulders and long arms give the impression that he is a tall, lanky guy. Go figure--?? I'm really surprised by this one.

dmeyer says on 25/Jul/07
i remember my comment 3 years ago were i said eckart seemed 1 in shorter than me maybe not that mush but i doubt he is a full 5'11 to me he seemed 5'10.5 max

dmeyer says on 19/Jul/07
but actualy in pics with affleck and artnet he can look a bit over 5'11 and sometimes can look a bit under so this guy might be 5'11 but he did look 1 cm shorter than me i might have been 181 that day since i was sitting alot

dmeyer says on 19/Jul/07
2 full days he was indeed a bit shy of my height i will settle for 5'10.75 becuse i use ti think 5'11 for this guy but i thaught i was just about 6 ft so he is gotta be a bit under 5'11 because if he was he would have exactly the same as me or 0.25 in shorter we had similar shoes and he was indeed 0.5 in under i thaught i was 2 cm taller but maybe i had better posture so 5'10.5 but i could be mistaking i do make mistakes of 0.75 in sometimes i dont mistake a full in but 0.5 to 0.75 i do sometimes because of posture and footwaetr

dmeyer says on 19/Jul/07
is 179 possible for this guy since he didnt look over it

dmeyer says on 18/Jul/07
he seemed a bit over 5'10 but under 5'11

dmeyer says on 18/Jul/07
hey rob aron realy didnt look over 179 when i met him we had the same 1 in dress shoes and he looked at the very least 0.5 in shorter than me is 179 possible

Anonymous says on 12/Jul/07
I stood next to him during filming for "Bill" which has yet to be released. He has horrible slouch (which was obviously for the character). After factoring in the slouch, I doubt he is much, if at all, taller than me at 5'10".

from gawker.com, 21/Jun/07 aaron eckhart bumping into pedestrians while taking numerous photos of a building on the corner of Thompson and Spring at 6PM this evening. looked like he hadn't showered in days; scruffy but ruggedly handsome. and as per gawker stalker tradition" "he was shorter than i expected."

dmeyer says on 26/Mar/07
for some reason aron was shorter than me and we were both in 1 in dress shoes i aint sure he is a full 5'11 maybe bad posture

dmeyer says on 5/Jan/07
he is close to his claim

dmeyer says on 5/Jan/07

Paul says on 5/Jan/07
Had on inch on Thomas Jane (5-10) in Thursday.

dmeyer says on 13/Dec/06
i stood by him for a all day and he gave me the impression to be 1 to 2 cm smaller than me we both had 1 in low cut shoes maybe bad posture but no more than 5'11

dmeyer says on 23/Oct/06
i met him he lookes in the 5'10.5 to 5'11 but he had normal very low cut 1 inch heels

dmeyer says on 17/Oct/06
he looked a lidl smaller than me so no taller than 5'11

John R says on 3/Oct/06
Looks half an inch to an inch taller than Adam Brody in Thank You for Smoking

dmeyer says on 25/Sep/06
i worked for two days with him and he was 0.5 to 0.75 " smaller than me so 5'10.75 might be closer but since he is close to wah he claims its ok

Anthony says on 23/Sep/06
He was four inches shorter than 6'3 Hartnett in "The Black Dahlia". He's a legit 5'11.

Anonymous says on 20/Sep/06
he did look very mush shorter than ben affleck

dmeyer says on 20/Sep/06
he was a lithel smaller than me so no way over 180 possibly 179

dmeyer says on 20/Sep/06
hey rob since i am about 5 fr 11 aron was defenetly 2 cm smaller than me

[Editor Rob: I was even thinking this guy could appear taller than 180!]

The Horse of FUNK says on 5/May/06
Kinda shocked this guy's 5'11. Looked like he was in 6' - 6'1 range in Erin Brokovich. Must be one of those guys who looks taller than they really are.

dmeyer says on 12/Feb/06
i met him he looks close to this mark maybe 5'10.75" but he was wearing dress low cut shoes with 1 inch heel 5'11 is very possible he looks this compare to uma and ben in paycheck

Iris says on 10/Jan/06
I thought this guy was a six footer for sure... He doesn´t look remarkably taller than Paltrow but she seems tall as well ( maybe 177)
