He looks small in Man VS Wild, but I was surprised to see that he appeared to be about just 4 inches shorter than Conan O'brien, who is a towering 6'4"", so I think he is a solid 6 feet tall

He is 2 or so inches smaller than zach braff. Braff is wearing what appears to be regular dress shoes, while bear seems to be wearing shoes without a thick sole.

I suggest downgrading him to 5' 11"

Bear Grylls says on 31/Dec/09
5 ft. 11

gilipollas says on 20/Dec/09
he looked same height as johnatan ross and david letterman...strange

ComicNut says on 8/Aug/09
Most of the time we see him he is standing by himself in the wild.But he certainly seems quite tall just by looking at his build. He also seemed a good height even when standing next to Jonathan Ross. In fact in his shoes he was at least as tall as him. Then we have him on his website flat out stating he is 6 feet tall. 183 cm seems spot on for him.

i watched the episode with him and will ferrell the other night, he looked between 3 and 4 inches shorter than ferrell who is well known to be 6ft3, Grylls also seemed to be slouching though so i would hazard a guess at between 5ft11.5 and 6ft0.5 when barefoot and standing up straight. By the way this Grylls guy truly is insane very entertaining though, i recommend it!

He really doesn't look 6 ft but if you have seen his episodes in the French Foreign Legion he does look surprisingly tall next to the other recruits and barefoot, so I think hes a legit 6 ft

By the way i truly recommend the Legion show, fantastic entertainment

bigd says on 21/May/09
well, "bear" you have it. He's six foot. nuff said

I am Six Feet mates.

Rob - what happened to the comment I made on Bear?

Mark says on 23/Apr/09
He probably gave a ballpark figure for his height. Someone who is in the 5'11 range would just say "6 feet" because it's easier. I always thought of him in the 5'10-5'11 range anyhow though he does tend to sloach and crawl a lot in his shows. In one episode he was measuring out a vine in increments with his armspan which he said was exactly 6 feet. Many people's armspans tend to be a bit longer then their actual height.

Vibram says on 16/Apr/09
Do you think he has short legs and long torso? I get that 5ft10'ish impression when IRL he probably is 6ft or hair under.

Alternateuniverse says on 9/Apr/09
6'0 seems right, but more like 5-11.5. He does give an illusion of bein two or three inches shorter.

chris175 says on 7/Apr/09
thanks for putting up bear grylls rob, i believe his 6-0 claim, possibly 5-11.5 at his lowest. 5-9 claims are rediculous when he stands almost the same height as jonathan ross.

Jim says on 2/Apr/09
J
I agree

No offense to Bear I love his show I get a big kick out of watching him. But seeing many episodes I figured he was about 5-9. Maybe it has something to do with proportions and not seeing anyone else around him...or because he is so agile you figure only a shorter guy could move so effortlessly like he does.

J says on 28/Mar/09
Wow he really doesnt look that tall on T.V. i would have gussed around 5'9-5'10. I gusses its just that there no other humans to compare his height to on man vs wild lol.

Maribel says on 20/Mar/09
I think he's 5-11 barefeet, 6'0 in shoes.

Forrest 6'1.5 says on 20/Mar/09
I could buy 6'0 but no taller. He really doesnt look tall on the show and ive seen 10+ episodes

MD says on 11/Mar/09
I take it you're being sarcastic, anon, because everyone knows some of the recent controvesy surrounding the show.

Anonymous says on 11/Mar/09
I never thought he'd be that tall, always took him for an average height guy, at least that's what he looked like on his show.

But he does look kind of tall compared to the later posted Conan vid and other talk show hosts. weird.

anon says on 11/Mar/09
this is bear grylls people. he no lie. he's a real man.

Vibram says on 10/Mar/09
He does look about 180cm / 5ft11 in his survival programs.

The Horse of FUNK says on 10/Mar/09
I get this feeling that he and Gerard Butler would be awfully close in height.

"Forrest 6'1.5 says on 9/Mar/09
He doesnt even look 6'0 let alone 6'3""

What drugs are you on? Watch this video and then tell me he 'doesn't even look 6'0"'.

Click Here

I think he's taller than 6'0", but isn't stressed about his height and just says 6-feet for a simple answer. Because if he's not even 6-feet, then by god that's the tallest freaking average height guy I've ever seen. When I first saw him on TV I figured him for 6'1" - 6'3".

Anon. says on 9/Mar/09
6-0 makes sense, that's what I would have guessed. along the lines of adventure tv, anyone know how tall Phil Koeghan (Amazing Race) is?

Forrest 6'1.5 says on 9/Mar/09

Real says on 8/Mar/09
Lindsay, because most celebs are short. lol

Maribel says on 6/Mar/09
I would have guessed 5'10-5'11.

He does look about 6'0

Ed(1) says on 4/Mar/09
That's cool Rob, Bear finally got a page!

Yeah 6ft sounds pretty accurate, he definitely has that slightly above average look to him. If I didn't see the quote from him, I would have guessed 5ft11-6ft, and I'm guessing 175 lbs or so.

Me says on 4/Mar/09
Oh, and I should say that Ross is listed as 6 ft 1.5.

Me says on 4/Mar/09
Him and Ross after he has stepped from the platform; Click Here

Looks the same height.

He really doesn't look that tall; his proportions looks very average. But, I've never seen him with someone of known height to compare him with.

Lindsay says on 3/Mar/09
why does everyone think all celebrities are short? just because Tom Cruise.

Me says on 3/Mar/09
Always looked tallish to me. On Jonathan Ross looked a similar height to Ross, maybe an inch shorter.

Anonymous says on 2/Mar/09
hey i just watched man vs wild yesterday and was measuring the distance down a cliff with a rope comparing the distance with his height or something and he said he was 6'3

ZAQ says on 2/Mar/09
