btw Ibraimovic Click Here never looks two inches (5cm) taller than (in all the pic found on the www) 187cm listed Alessandro Nesta, and is barely 1cm taller than Abbiati Milan ac goalkeeper who is listed at 191cm. Hence he can be 192cm no more, therefore Skarskard is around the same at 191/192cm sure he is quite tall.

I don't understand how some people on this claim to know more about the celebrity's height than the celebrities do themselves! Whatever people say... Alexander is tall! George says on 23/Jan/12
Jean: I'm really into these height debates, and since I'm obsessed with this, trust me when I say Alexander is around 194-95cm. Same goes for Ibra. Check out Ibra with 1.86-87 Ronaldo
Ronaldo has never been over 185. Jean says on 17/Jan/12

i think he is 194, i have a friend who i measured 194,2 and they look exactly the same. He also said that he was that height in an interview.. He looks in the 6`4 size. But if someone hold a knife against you and sad that only way to survive was to guess his height right. then i think the most would say 194 some would say 193 and a few 192 and mayby 195. Rob dont you think he ned a little upgrade 6`4.25 Sorry for my bad english :) Nick says on 8/Dec/11

Rob, look at him here near Ibrahimovic...

they look about the same! Could Ibrahimovic be only 6'4 or is more probable Alexander is more than 6'4? You said that Ibrahimovic is about 6'5!
[Editor Rob: Ibrahimovic could be near 6ft 5.]
BTW Ibrahimovic is listed 192cm everywhere online.. LAN Jiao says on 10/Nov/11
you made it im sure i could also put on another 20-30lbs. i"ll try out your weight gaining guide. thank you Sam. Sam says on 1/Nov/11
At the time I weighed up to 210 pounds, I was just very large meals three times a day and was gaining more fat than I wanted and then I dieted for a bit. I found a healthier weight gain was when I watched my calories more and exercised regularly, eating more than 2000 (preferably more than 2500) calories a day in 6 smaller, low-fat and protein or carb-rich meals plus protein supplements two times a day. Not everybody gains weight the same way and even if you stay a bit thinner than you'd like, remember that many people find being tall and thin quite enviable. LAN Jiao says on 31/Oct/11
Sam , any guide to gain weight? im min 6'5.25 and 161pounds currently, i use to be 152pounds and i look superb skinny. im curious how you get to reach 210pounds heaviest? since you are so ever thin as me now.. i have been try out some supplements but did't held at all and was not healthy with long term consume. my target was 195-200pounds as i build up with a little muscular upper body but very thin frame thin limbs like peter crouch. Sam says on 21/Oct/11
I am just over 195 cm at mid-day and I weighed around 160 pounds when I first got to my full height and looking back at photos I look grossly emaciated at that weight. At my highest, I've weighed around 210 pounds and feel I look my best at 200 pounds. I have a similar build to Skarsgard. Balthier says on 20/Oct/11

Exactly, according to official statistics, there are less than 10 % of the population that are 190 or taller...

Zlatan is somewhat of a narcissist so it is highly possible that he is exaggerating, yes. ANDREA[ITA] says on 14/Oct/11
Yeah but again my question is another one!
Can alexander be close to 6'5? He looks the same of ibra! Can ibra be 194 or is it isnt much for him?
[Editor Rob: alexander claims 193 and I think he looks that range, I think you'd need better photos to be able to tell and know their footwear aswell.] wingnut says on 14/Oct/11
if this guys 6'4" then he's 205- 210 no problem ANDREA[ITA] says on 14/Oct/11
Rob, ibra said hes 197! I think thats a bit exagerate, in shoes he can be it off course! Is 194 for him fair or more like over it? You say ibra could be near 6ft5, so also alexander is near it? My question was clear. They look about the same!

Fredrik Johansson:
No, the Norwegian 182cm (you wrote 1.81, though) does not apply for 17 year olds. It's for adults in the age range 20-29. The average height for Norwegian military recruits (age 18-19) is 1.795m or 5'10.5".
What many seem to not have realised here is that height studies on the Dutch are mostly self-reported, not measured.
I find this whole Scandinavian height to be quite exaggerated, but I suppose that many who speak so highly about us have never even been here. "We" are rather tall, but we're not all 6'4" and up giants. I'm 6'2" myself and while I'm not really considered tall in general, I am normally the tallest or among the tallest in a somewhat crowded room. I would say that it's rare to find men over 6'3" where I live and those who are 6'4" are seen as huge. Sweed says on 2/Sep/11
roxanne, just because you happend to be 187 and you have a norwegian girl who is short, doesnt mean that People in the North Europe are among the tallest in the world, beacause they are! Dutch average height is now 1.84, swedes 1.82, not sure about Norwegian and Danes but they sure are somewhere around there to! Fredrik Johansson says on 1/Sep/11
Swedes might be the 4th tallest nation in the world. The dutch are officially the tallest with 1.83, but norwegian 17 year olds are on average 1.81.. wich means they'd be taller at a more mature age. I'm sure Icelandics are taller than the swedes too, as they are the most nordic blooded of all the nordics Fredrik Johansson says on 1/Sep/11

Nicky, 150-160 lbs. is the perfect weight for a 6'1" woman. It's light enough so that you aren't big and masculine, but heavy enough so that you have some junk in the trunk :). I believe that's probably about Sharapova's weight, and pretty much the same as Ana Ivanovic's... If you haven't seen Ana Ivanovic, she is a very nice gal :). Martin says on 28/Aug/11
Well, the swedes are actually the second tallest men in the world at 182 cm in general height. I'm myself almost 190 cm tall. But I were at this sailing camp this summer in a group of 17 people 2 of them were 205 cm, one of them could had been maybe 210 cm but his posture was really really bad. And the other one was 17 years old so he could maybe grow a little bit taller. But generally Swedes are tall but not so many are over 2m. And if you grow very rapidly and over 2m they get a hormone to stop growing. Nickycox says on 26/Aug/11
I am 24 years (woman) old and have allways been tall I'm 6ft 1 in about (1.82 cm) and weigh 154 pounds and I look normal more on the thin side but I am a woman so I guess itīs not the same ...... my boyfriend is tall too hi's 6 ft 3 in but he weighs 189 pounds issuetall says on 8/Aug/11

My boyfriend is 200cm (6'7") and literally weighs soaking wet 150 lbs ( I dunno the weight in kgs, I just know the 200cm because he talks about it all the time) And his waist is DEFINITELY around 28". He's all bones!!! Skarsgard looks very proportionate, I'd say he's around 34-36" waist and close to 200 lbs.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
SO, both you and your boyfriend are Swedish? Sandy says on 6/Aug/11
I just met him in NYC a couple days ago, he is no less than 6'4" MAYBE a bit more. As for his weight, he has thin legs and a tiny waist but a bigger upper body. ibangaczech says on 31/Jul/11

yea most scandinavians are quiet tall but who gives a **** about height... im 5'10 not short but not that tall but im italian/german nd i might not be tall but i have looks and im built and honestly id much rather be attractive and average height than be tall and not attractive sooo if your attractive, women really could care less how tall you are just look at taylor lautner at 5'8 but gets girls off the wazzoo lol Sam says on 18/Jul/11
I think he is healthy weight range for his weight range, and couldn't describes as "so skinny" appearing. I am of similar dimensions and height as him. He looked a little bit more heavily muscled back in True Blood's 2nd season and looks skinner now but is far from emaciated or anything. Scotch German says on 13/Jun/11
I'm 6'6". 300 pounds. thebad7 says on 13/Jun/11
He will ALWAYS be Sheriff Northman. With only one or two exceptions, he towers everybody in TRUE BLOOD. I think 6'4" is right for him. It's his frame that makes him appear even taller than what he is--he's been looking rail thin as of late, and I doubt he's anymore than 185-190 lbs. He's an awesome performer--he's going to be in the upcoming retread of STRAW DOGS alongside Kate Bosworth.

roxanne, nothing sexier than a good looking girl over 6'. As a 6'5" guy I can say that
a - hunching sucks
b - we miss out on the real feeling of equality when out and about with shorter girls, the feeling short guys take for granted and don't even notice it Cranberries says on 8/Jun/11
Brittany, people are talking about ethnic background as much as they are nationality. "White" has nothing to do with ethnic background nor nationality. brittany says on 14/May/11
he's heigth is fine and it really doesnt have to do with his nationality i mean look at Shaq he's american and black. I know a guy that was 6'3 at the age of 14 he's 19 and 6'5 american and white. its genes ppl not race nor nationality grow up. thats some irony for ya Mat says on 10/May/11
@Jacob: Id reckon Skarsgard is more in the 215-220 range, he's a big man! Cranberries says on 8/May/11
The exception doesn't break the trend, Roxanne. Also, if you are a girl, 187cm = almost 6'2", which is extraordinarily tall for a woman; you yourself are the exception.
Also, Northern Europeans have more sexual dimorphism, meaning the women are shorter and smaller and the men are bigger and taller in comparison. I've seen plenty of very short Dutch girls (from tall families). Andrea [ITA] says on 7/May/11
He's very very tall! 193 194 for sure... No less! He could be around 195 in the morning... roxanne says on 27/Apr/11
I disagree with the fact that the people from North Europe are very tall. I'm Greek and I am 187cm tall. The shortest girl in my class is 165 cm and the shortest boy 175 cm. We have a Norwegian girl in our school which is 162 and she is 17 years old. Menace 195cm says on 5/Apr/11
This guy is quite tall. I am 195cm myself and I am the tallest of my friends. One of them is 192cm, two are 190cm and one is 189cm. We are all tall guys and we walk tall like rob paul MD says on 23/Mar/11
Show a pic, then. I'm 5'11" and 140 lbs (which is skinnier than you are at your height) with the same size waist. I simply don't believe it. Aaron says on 21/Mar/11
I am quite slight. It's more like 28.5" after a meal. I'm built like Sharapova and I have similar proportions to Klum. All my fat is in my butt/thighs.
Hopefully I fill out more... 180 lbs., btw, is quite thin for an evening 6'4". Skarsgard is built differently than me so maybe I just can't tell? I can show a pic btw.... MD says on 20/Mar/11
Jacob,
At your height and weight, there is no way your waist is 27.5 inches unless you'r sucking in or doing a stomach vacuum. 27.5 inches is tiny even for really short and slight guys. Jacob says on 19/Mar/11
I have a hard time believing this guy weighs 175-185 lbs. Even if he's super skinny, the guy's 6'4". I'm 6'4" (also Swedish) and I have a 27.5" waist circumference, which is very small, and I weigh 180. I believe Skarsgard is around 190, maybe more. issuetall says on 10/Mar/11

Re: D.L
I can kinda agree with you even though I think you are not being completely honest with yourself. However, I think people like to exaggerate things. I am a 190 cm guy from Sweden and I feel tall aswell. Ofc there are people taller but I rarely see people who are taller than 194-195 cm. I wonder were all those tall swedish guys buy their clothes? I might have tall legs but I always need 36 inches length on my jeans and usually need extra large in shirts (with a weight of 90 kgs give or take). I have also been on vaccation to Amsterdam and I did not notice any real difference in height btw dutch(Amsterdam) and swedish (Stockholm) people. The tallest were around my height or a little taller and in my unprofessional opinion I would not say I saw many 2 meter guys. Jay says on 21/Feb/11
I'm 18, 6'6" 209 lbs. and I'm Dutch and Norwegian. Both my grandfathers were 6'6" as well, which is freakishly tall for their generation, so frankly I've probably hit my max (although my dad is only 6'2"). Skarsgard has probably hit his max at 6'4" too; his kids aren't going to be taller than him if he stays with Bosworth. Hannah says on 15/Feb/11

Not the best height comparison picture, but he's clearly a bit taller than his dad:
Click Here Aaron says on 22/Jan/11
I'm Finnish and German, and I'm 6'4". A good selection of Indo-European genes can be quite a fine thing. I'm a lot bigger than Skarsgard though; 215 lbs (all skin and bones). I'm willing to bet he'd max out at 195 lbs before he started looking goofy, and he's definitely 6'4" or literally just a hair under. Neither of us have the rugby-type builds.

5'2". I am half Mexican and half white. My parents are both average size. However, my little brother is ridiculously tall. He's only 6 and is already like a head taller than everyone else, and is still growing. The doctors say he is going to be really tall when he's older. Why did that happen? Vikinghorn6 says on 3/Jan/11
I am both of Norwegian and sweedish heritage. I am 194.5 cm. I saw alexander at an airport. He is every bit of 194cm. However he is rail thin. He feels as if he is taller. I weigh 225 pounds. He may be 180 pounds. The illusion caused by his thinness is that he is taller then he appears. Also he has terrible posture, as do most tall Europeans. They tend to lower their heads when speaking to others. Watching the show from America will illustrate his neck leaning problem.

@Austrian: I agree. I'm from Croatia and I was one of the shortest girls in my class, standing at 5'8", which is above average for women in Australia, where I live now. Croatia is home to the tallest people in Europe.

I'm from sweden and 192 cm (6'3 1/2) and i tower over most people here believe me. It's completely nonsense those who claims that over 190 cm is not considered tall in our country. In my high school which had about 2000 students i was among the tallest guys, i think at least in the top 5. I can only think of 3 guys who i know were taller than me. That shows how people like to lie about both how tall they are and how tall people in general are here. You don't see a lot of people who are 2m here, it's very rare. Even people who are 195 cm really stand out. I think only 2 people were over 195 cm at our high school. Please don't take seriously those who claims to have a lot of friends who are over 2 m. Unless we are talking about professional basketball players or people from certain african tribes no one can believe in that. The average height is no more than 178 cm in Sweden. I can easily get away with being taller than i am, several people have guessed im 195 cm and some thought 198 cm. That's completely wrong and shows how difficult most people find it to judge height. You can't tell how tall a person is by meeting them. I have thought that people looked taller than me and later found at they were about 1 inch shorter than me. Many people lie about how tall they are that's why someone like me can easily get away with being taller than i am. Surprisingly few people are over 190 cm and even though i don't feel tall i often get comments about how tall i am.
My brother is 187 cm and in his class in the university which contains 80 students he said he was the second tallest guy. The tallest guy were 199 cm and he said that guy looked like a giant compared to the other guys. That's another example of how overated and exaggerated swedish height in general are being here.
I have read that Holland have the tallest people and they have an average height for men that's 182 cm.
The taller you are the taller you can get away with being. For instance a guy that's 195 cm can easily get away with being 2m because he stands out so much and towers so much over almost everyone. SAK says on 24/Nov/10
