Yeap I'd say that is right I stood next to him, I'm 5 6" and he seemed to tower over me!!!

Hrmm, I'm surprised aswell. He's quite thin, and so looks more vertical (hehe) than he maybe is. I guessed about 5'9"! But, apparently, he scrapes six foot. Jude Law is also somewhat slight, and so gave me a similar impression, but he's also listed at 5'11". Ah, shucks! The music's great, anyway

Met him, he's about a centimete taller than me, and I'm just over 5'10, so 5'11 makes sense. I thought he'd be taller but the rest of the band, it seems, are just short.

Are there any good comparison pics out there?

Celo says on 3/Jan/07
I think this guy's taller than that. Well that's based on some footage from him standing next to Tara Reid..But then again..she's really short. I think that impression must be due to his thin build. Anyway, he's a tall guy.

MD says on 12/Sep/06
I'm very surprised at this listing. I never suspected him anything over 5'10". I think his incredibly thin/skinny build can give off the apperance of being taller. I always figured he looked so much taller in his band, because the other members always looked so short.

Just saw these guys in concert and Alex looked really small I'd say he is 170 but who cares? heee isss hooot

how tall is the lovely paul thomson? its hard 2 tell since he is sitting down most of the time.

Stella says on 13/Apr/06
Somewhere around 5'11" is I'd say about right. I had the lucky opportunity to get autographs and standing next to him he appears to be about the same height as my dad and my dad is not quite six feet tall, more like 5'11".

was at a franz ferdinand concert yesterday, got pretty close. he looks to be pretty similar to my height and build and im 178.5cm thats like 5'10"? GO FRANZ!

Never really met him but from my point of view I think he's like 6 ft. and he's the tallest fom the band. So I think he's pretty tall.

Lydia says on 12/Nov/05
From what I've heard he's 5'10"-5'11". That's based on people's first-hand accounts, but not mine however.

[Editor Rob: this guy does appear to sometimes wear larger heely footwear, but yes looking at some fan pics...he can be downgraded.]

183 cm......are you sure?
i meet Alex.... I believed he was high 175 cm

[Editor Rob: nope, I ain't sure on this guy - can't find much to compare him against, so your estimate could be closer to the truth...]
