Looks like a stong 6'3" dude. paddy says on 11/Feb/10
im not sure whether the others guy know it, but in the picture that has been already posted hear quite a few times, levi is leaning against that computer. there has been numerous cases in "Chuck" Season 3 episodes where it was quite obvious to anyone watching carefully that levi and mr awesome, as well as casey are a good inch or inch and a half taller than routh.

Tall, handsome young man. I'm pretty jealous actually.

I saw Brandon in a Bollywood movie(Kambakt Ishq).His co-star Akshay is 5'11' and Brandon was about 3 inches taller than him.He must be about 6'2". hs2009 says on 30/Nov/09
Danimal says on 22/Nov/09
At least 6'3".
Agreed, he looks legit 6'3" IMO. Moke says on 24/Nov/09
A shade under 6'3" - like 6'2.75". Danimal says on 22/Nov/09
At least 6'3". RobertJ says on 19/Nov/09
Yeah 6'4'' is too high. He may be a weak 6'3'' but nothing over that. TNTinCA says on 13/Nov/09
I am thinking Brandon is being shortchanged a bit here. He looks easily 6'3" and maybe even close to 6'4".
Moke says on 9/Nov/09
...190 cm is better. Patrick says on 3/Nov/09
Minimum 6'3 and tops 63/5 on the picture as anywhere else! steve says on 2/Nov/09
i dunno man this guy looks maybe even '6"4 Daveyy says on 25/Oct/09
a legit 6'3 rob89 says on 4/Oct/09
He's certainly nothing under 6'2, but 6'2.5 is probably accurate. Same height or at worst a half inch shorter than The Rock, who is about 6'3. Also towered over 5'11-6' Christian Bale. Anonymous says on 1/Oct/09
if you were to put a foot long ruler on top of rob's head it wouldn't reach but a little higher than the top of brandon's head. looks at least 6'4 here. big pimpim says on 29/Sep/09
Brandon is without a doubt 6ft 3inches tall. A very big guy.. quite suprised with how big he was. clark says on 20/Sep/09
Brandon looks very close to 6'3".... jon says on 11/Sep/09
no wonder rob used to cover his eyes-scary. looks at least 6'3" minimum Josh.J says on 27/Jul/09
wow this pic shows exactly what i've been saying to people. rob's eyes are very very blue!
p.s oh and routh looks 189~190cm. Tipjar says on 8/Jul/09
Looks like a SOLID 6'2.5", probably peaks at 6'3" Hugh 191cm says on 7/Jul/09
6ft3 minimum after a good nights sleep maximus says on 5/Jul/09
He is definetly not a short person and definetly in the 6'2.5 to 6'3 range....its kinda of obvious. One of the few legit tall guys without lifts. Lenad says on 4/Jul/09
189-190cm. He's way bigger than Christian Bale J.J. says on 2/Jul/09
'Rob' a solid 6'2.5" guy who can easily get away with 6'3" or a little over. But he is not even a 6'3" yet. A rock solid 6'2.5". How come somepeople get measured properly & some don't get measure properly. Doug says on 30/Jun/09
Looks roughly the same height as Tom Welling 6'2.5". sprint84 says on 30/Jun/09
Same photographic evidence as Zachary Levi, so I'll just repost a message from his page (replacing Levi's name with Routh's of course)..........
Actually, wowuguys, that would make his head 12+ inches, which is impossible given that it is the same height as Rob's head (approx. 9.75") in the photo.
Routh has 2/3 of his head height over Rob meaning he is 6.5" taller in the pic (2/3 x 9.75 = 6.5). If Rob is 5'8-8.25", Routh is 6'2.5-2.75".
I know it's just one photo, but my best guesses...
6'4" in shoes, 6'3" in the morning, 6'2.5" mid-day. J.J. says on 24/Jun/09
solid 189cm guy exactly 6'2.5" in this photo wowuguys says on 16/Jun/09
actually he has rob by more than 6 inch its more like 7 or 8 inch for a guy if it was 6 rob almost reach his eyeline which he doesnt Hugh 190cm says on 13/Apr/09
A very solid 6ft2 guy. approx 189-190cm. Emile says on 11/Apr/09
He has Rob by no more than 6 inches. He is a sure 6'-2. Not a full 6'3. Lenad says on 3/Apr/09
Looks at least 15cm taller than Rob. Solid 6'2 guy. rob89 says on 25/Jan/09
Looks a solid 6'2. victor says on 17/Jan/09
People say routh has short legs. Does he have abigger ionseam than 32 inches in his trousers? fghgffhg says on 12/Jan/09
DUDE HES THE BEST 6'3 YOUR GONNA GET I SAW HIM ON THE SET OF ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO THIS GUY IS ATLEAST 6'2 3/4 TRUST ME IM 6'2 HE HAD ID SAY NEERLY A INCH AND MY COUSINS ARE 5'11 AND 6'0 AND HE WAS QUITE ABIT TALLER THEN THEM AND VERY WEIRD BUT WE ALL HAD ON CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR WHICH I CUM 2 NOTICE LOL SO NO ONE HAD SNEEKER ADVANTAGE RobertJ says on 7/Jan/09
MarcustheSwede- Footwear could easily explain that discrepancy but regardless, Routh is absolutely minimum 6'2'' and no one here disagrees with that. MarcustheSwede says on 27/Dec/08
He cant be 189 centimeters. In the movie Zac And Mari Makes a porno he is CLEARLY not 14 centimeters taller then co actor Justin Long who is 175 centimeters.Not as tall as 189 watch the move and you will see for youre self.
Id say 185 MAX.not more.Watch movie you will see. victor says on 26/Dec/08
Anyone know how long Rouths legs are or what his inseam measurement is? Alex says on 13/Nov/08
6'2 1/2 max with Rob. May just be 6'2 flat, no less though. This is assuming Routh's eye level is 4.5 inches from the top of his head. unknown says on 9/Oct/08
look at this pic
Click Here
he look the same as the rock so he is 6'3 or something Smallville says on 22/Sep/08
I also met Brandon Routh in Mk in May and i noticed he was wearing boots with high backs. I am 6ft 1 and in the photo he looks a lot taller so I'm guessing in flat shoes he wouldn't be as tall. Just need to meet the Rock now and my life will be complete. Big T says on 17/Sep/08
I have a 10" long head at 5'10 1/2". Am I a freak? A monster?
I know I have a big head but I didn't realize the problem was this bad! Anthony David says on 10/Sep/08
He looks 6'2" to be precise. RobertJ says on 9/Sep/08
"ok that was totally gay...I recognize a good looking guy when I see him, but I never say or even think the word 'sexy' in regard to him, my brain just doesnt go there. Not that there is anything wrong with that."
If you believe there's nothing wrong with that, why did you comment on the guy being "totally gay." Obviously it did bother you since you replied to his comment and even explained how your "brain just doesn't go there". Dude grow up. derek d says on 28/Aug/08
I'm just curious, is a quarter of a inch really a big deal? lol Ed Kline says on 28/Aug/08
"not even being funny, he is a sexy guy (im not homo just saying) i mean look at his chin, thats a god looking chin"
ok that was totally gay...I recognize a good looking guy when I see him, but I never say or even think the word 'sexy' in regard to him, my brain just doesnt go there. Not that there is anything wrong with that. fluxboy says on 1/Aug/08
Are you guys for real?
Like ...
Naw, there's no way he's 6'2.5" ... I put him at 6'2.25"
No way man, he's 6'2.75"!
I'm just curious, is this like a fetish or something? Mike says on 29/Jul/08
6' 2.5" seems right.
not even being funny, he is a sexy guy (im not homo just saying) i mean look at his chin, thats a god looking chin clark says on 24/Jul/08
My cousin met him in L.A., my cousin is a solid 6'2"and 1/4 in flat feet. He said Brandon Routh was atleast a half inch, or more taller. The funny thing he said, is that they were both wearing black converse all stars. He said Brandon was very easy to speak to and a gentleman to all the fans. His best guess onhe height was that Brandon was atleast 6'2" and 3/4 and my cousin is not the type of guy to talk about height. But I was able to get it out of him. Guy says on 15/Jul/08
Tnx, luv ya. fr educating us abt the camera angles & the difference it makes, yes the inch is quiet big, thats why i doubt him being 6.2 and a half. Rob considering how big the inch is, are u 100% sure he is 6 and half inches taller? I think is the best pic in this whole forum, so much i visit this page first. and i always assume 6.2 or 6.2 and 1/4 max. PLs answer my query. tnx BlackRay says on 15/Jul/08
Yes with dress shoes on the Rock is about 193 cms tall, hence 6 ft 4in. Brandon Routh is then 192 cm 6ft 3.5in also in dress shoes. jack says on 13/Jul/08
the rock is 6'4'' Yaspaa says on 2/Jul/08
How do you know Rock is 6'5,he never looks it however the wrestling commentators said he was so it must be true RobertJ says on 1/Jul/08
No he isn't. Anonymous says on 30/Jun/08
The Rock is 6'5". that's definite. That I know. Marty says on 22/Jun/08
I think that the top of Rob's head is a bit above the tip of Brandon's nose. I see at least a .5 inch difference between the top of Rob's head and the tip of Brandon's nose if not .75 inch,
[Editor Rob: with that short hairstyle take away about 7-8mm (0.3 inch) to find where my skull is.] Marty says on 19/Jun/08
I kinda see a 14 cm difference between Rob and Brandon. Measuring the width of Rob's hand and assuming that it is about 3.5" you then get approximately 1.54 hand width difference in height between Rob and Brandon wich if you multiply by 3.5" gives roughly a 14cm difference, give or take .5cm wich would put Brandon at about 187cm ( rounded from 186.7 ) so in my view 6 ft 1.5 in Guy says on 14/Jun/08
I THINK brandon has 6 inches and a quarter or more likely 6 inches from his nose to the top of his head not taking his PUFFY hair into account. we can see 4only 4 inches frm his middle eye point to the tip of his head removing haie to be 110% accurate. May be 4 inch an quarter nt more. Halb says on 12/Jun/08
In those pics the Rock is taller. Routh is standing tall and straight, Rock has a slight lean, both have same shoes on flat surface and Rock is taller. RobertJ says on 10/Jun/08
Joe257 - yes, they made him about 6'4'' with thick heeled boots since, I'm assuming, they wanted to keep continuity since Reeve said he was 6'4'' in Superman the movie. Of course another may be they just wanted him to look bigger. Joe257 says on 8/Jun/08
Did they make him look 6'4" on Superman Returns? I remember him being noticeably taller than most people in the movie. He towered over Kevin Spacey. Yaspaa says on 7/Jun/08
top of the head to tip of the nose is about 6.5" making Brandon 6'2.5 big kid says on 6/Jun/08
definitely not 6' 3" Marco says on 4/Jun/08
I agree with ola, i think routh is exactly 6'3, no way less. I can see those almost 20 cm over rob. dits says on 4/Jun/08
where'd you get that picture taken,rob?
[Editor Rob: that was at a collectormania event in Milton Keynes, England.] Yaspaa says on 21/May/08
No Rob page so Routh's will have to do,thanks a lot mate. Yaspaa says on 20/May/08
About 6.5 inches to the tip of the nose so 6'2.5 looks right,6'3 for Rock. Vegas says on 19/May/08
it is you viper, rock is slightly further from the camera but it doesn't matter either way, routh is taller up to the waist too so higher ground/bigger footwear advantage holds no water Click Here guy says on 19/May/08
I am happy viper belives me. I belive You have great talent in recognising precise dude buddy. I observed u comments many times. They seem almost perfect in etimates. guy says on 19/May/08
Pic 1- Click Here
Bro. Is nt the floor higher marginally where rock is standing. The floor is nt 100% flat.
Vegas, the debate with rock being taller is not dead.
[Editor Rob: there is 2 pics were they are same distance and those pics actually make it hard to see much difference between the two of them. If Rock is 6ft 4 routh to me looks like he'd have to be close to that aswell...] Da Man says on 18/May/08
In the last two pics the camera is tilted heavily in Rouths favor. guy says on 18/May/08
I think there might be exactly 4.5 inch difference so he indeed acurately 6.2 and a half. guy says on 18/May/08
Guys do u think Routh's head from middle of eye line to tip of his head is 4 inches ??, 4.5 inches?? or 5 inches?.
There may be 5 inches. If there is 5 inches he is no doubt 6.3 inches. guy says on 18/May/08
Hi Viper, there are also some pics which i would show u to please vegas & others. Vegas posted them previously. he posted them to prove previously rock is taller.
Pic 1- Click Here
Pic 1- Analysis-
This is similar to Pic 2- I posted in my previous post having routh & rock analysis. Rocks appears taller. why???
Ans- I belive Rock shoe heel is marginally bigger than routh heel as shown clearly in Pic2 of my previous analysis. Secondly, The floor on which rock is standing is little higher than the floor on which routh is standing. Once feel with you heart and imagine routh coming into rock's position ( on the little higher floor) with the head held high like that , wearing rocks foot wear.
Wouldn't he also look tall like rock did.
Pic 2- Click Here
Pic2- Same feeling like pic 1, Here rock is more closer to the camera.
Conclusion- There are pics rock taller, routh look taller, but routh has more disadvantage. Hope my analysis saw the whole picture to prove they are indeed 100% equal. or atleast 99.99999% so rock shud be down graded to 6.2 and a half. tnx. guy says on 18/May/08
I am assuming Hulk hogan is 6.3 presently, seeing their fight on youtube if he stood straight next to 6.2 and a halh rock. I am aiming 100% accuracy, though.
Hogan looks 100% similar to Lou ferringo in pics, This proves it. For visitors visit lou ferringo page which shows both are similar in height like routh & rock. guy says on 18/May/08
I Got an excellent pic1. Click Here
Pls bro, study my following case points carefully.
Pic1.Here routh looks 1 mm taller than rock, even though we imagine routh is as bald as rock.
Click Here
Pic2- here we can prove rocks shoe soles are marginally bigger than routh. You might think rock as disadvantage as he is standing in a slightly lower floor, but only 1 leg is on the higher floor. But there are many many pics posted by bro vegas, ray & others down below frm 9 april 2007 or so, where rock stands on a little higher level & closer to the camera. I think u ll agree the floor is not 100 % flat.
Click Here
Pic3-Despite rock being close to camera, having bigger heal, standing on a slightly higher floor. he looks equal routh in this pic. Just imagine once by heart he went little back to stand right next to routh would he be equal??
Click Here
pic 4- what does it say?///? I just want respected folks like rob, danimal, viper, glen , vegas to think he is equal to rock if not taller.
Click Here
pic5.This is just fr fun.
Conclusion- My goal was to prove Both are equal 100% and pray rock be brought back to 6.2 and a half. I love both of them. Yaspaa says on 15/May/08
Da Man, it looks like there is no more than around 1.5" difference in circumference and head height for most normal guys,it's funny because my mate's head is tiny ,like a grape,I couldn't believe his 22.5" around measurement. I had the same friend over last night aswell as another friend (5'11 190lbs),his head height was approximately 9" and 23.4" around. They both think I'm nuts lol. Da Man says on 13/May/08
23 3/16" head circumference here. My head was actually 8.95" long, so really 9". Yaspaa says on 6/May/08
Yes,my friend has only a 8.3" head but his circumference is 22.5. Yaspaa says on 5/May/08
I have a friend coming over tonight who is 5'9 but has a small build (135lbs ,33 years old). I'll see what his head sizes are. Yaspaa says on 30/Apr/08
I can only find one site on the net that gives average male head height and according to them its 7.76",where do they get this lame information? Just measured the 'circumference' of my head and it is 23.5" average is a more believable 22.7". footballed28 says on 27/Mar/08
honestly, I see a 7 inch difference there...and keep in mind that even at night, Rob is a good 5'8....so assuming this pic was taken at night...that would make Routh between 6'2 3/4 and 6'3 Anonymous says on 20/Mar/08
Gary you are right perhaps 6'2.5 in morning and a legit 6'2 later a day. Anonymous king says on 10/Mar/08
yeah this guy does look a solid 189 beside 173 rob.. Gary says on 28/Feb/08
Im 6'2 and 5'9.5 is at my eye level and 5'8 at the tip of my nose, i think he is 6'2, I think he is 6'2 even Gary says on 27/Feb/08
5.8 comes to my mouth and im 6'2 without shoes and about 6'3 and a half with shoes Markus says on 27/Feb/08
6ft 2.5, is this his morning height or what? kalel says on 26/Feb/08
well, in a promotion on E! for superman Returns he said he was 6"2 so I guess that he is. Josh says on 23/Feb/08
Yeah looks about 6'2 , 6'4 is a joke. Slim THugga says on 23/Feb/08
Now way he looks 6 foot 4 Anonymous says on 20/Feb/08
6'1'' is a RIDICULOUS claim! I mean look at how tall he looks??! I have 5'8' friends, and know the difference! This man is obviously 6'2'' or 6'3''! but when yiou're that tall, what's the difference???? RobertJ says on 19/Feb/08
yeah Routh's 6'1''...please the dude is minimum 6'2'', all evidence supports this. Anonymous says on 19/Feb/08
he looks only 5 inches taller than rob. Johnny Boy says on 19/Feb/08
6'1 or 6'1.5 (mathematically) by this photo. Anonymous says on 19/Feb/08
he looks 6'2 flat to me lol. Markus says on 19/Feb/08
Why does rob has his eyes and nose cut out? I hate pics like this, they creep me out!
[Editor Rob: imagine if you had to put up with seeing my whole ugly mug, you'd be even more creeped out!
no, it's all about the "celeb heights" on here, folk really only need to know I'm 5ft 8 and my head is "9 and a 1/3 inch" in most pics. If they want they can figure out height differences from that or from using the celeb's head.] RobertJ says on 13/Feb/08
Yes but he could very well be close to 6'3'' flat but I think the current listing is most accurate. Korben says on 11/Feb/08
Rob, in these pics how tall is the cameraman / or how high is the camera stand, and how far back is it about?
Thanks
[Editor Rob: this guy is around 6 foot, although sometimes I see him with cowboy sized heel.
Usually these guys are 3.5-4 foot using a decent wide angle.
Better explanation: - if the celeb is tall it's likelier the photographer will stay tall so the lense is maybe eyeline-hairline zone. If the celeb is my height or shorter, he usually shoots with poorer stance, so the lense could be in mouth-eyeline zone.
] venus says on 16/Jan/08
Sry 2 say, but he's 6'2, he seems to be stretching his neck next to Rob. The top of Rob's head is up to his nose. His hair is high also, great height disguise.
[Editor Rob: visually he really comes in at 188cm mark.] Robbie H says on 12/Jan/08
he looks at least 6'3 to me in this pic AAAA says on 8/Jan/08
I had no idea who Molale was, but the photo was pretty good and when I looked him up his height was consistently listed at 6'4, and all the sites made a pretty big deal about his height, so it seemed plausablie he was 6'4. Who is he anyway TNTinCA says on 4/Jan/08
Might even have a bit more height. I don't think he is quite 6'3", but very close.
He was a good choice for the Superman role. Although the movie was a little underwhelming, I thought he did a good performance. Alex2 says on 4/Jan/08
He loks gigantic there with Rob, like 6'5 just look lol Sam says on 4/Jan/08
he does have the superman look. :P i'd say brandon is a good 6'3 flat. JohnP says on 4/Jan/08
It looks like Molale would be a good 5 inches shorter than Mane actually if both stood straight (Mane is bending much more than Molale, as you can see).
Where is that guy who straightens up people in pictures when he is needed? lol Vegas says on 3/Jan/08
its also debatable whether molale is a full 6'4, i suspect he is not because 6'8 tyler mane has approx 5 inches on him Click Here patrick says on 3/Jan/08
AAAA's pic shows a noticeable difference between the 6'4 man and Brandon Routh. Still remains to know what shoes the first one was wearing! I am taller than "taller people" depending my shoes...
Your opinion please. RobertJ says on 3/Jan/08
Routh is wearing basketball shoes so he'll have slight advantage but we don't Molale's footwear. I've always said 6'2.5'' minimum for Routh, I think 6'3'' is more accurate though. AAAA says on 2/Jan/08

With 6'4 Brandon Molale Anonymous says on 20/Dec/07
compared to other 6'3 celebs like Billy Corogan and Tony Hawk. Measuring Head to nose. Routh looks to be 6'3 and then some. patrick says on 3/Dec/07
There are 16.5 to 17 inches between them; Brandon has a long head. That puts him at 6'2.5 to 6'3. Take a right scale please! supes78 says on 30/Nov/07
Well considering Rob met the man and verified that he is 6'2.5" tall, any more photographic evidence to dispute that seems like a moot point. patrick says on 30/Nov/07
Sorry supes78, but "no", in any case! I repeat that you have no idea of how deceptive is a tiny change of angle and the use of a wide angle! Nothing is easier than making believe someone is taller or shorter than cinema shooting or photography (even easier!). Until you observe it yourself, you won't be convinced and that is why I will not still insist about it.
Ask anybody knowing that stuff better than you and you will see.
That pic is not the best, this is the worst ever to gauge each of tese men! supes78 says on 29/Nov/07
Well, considering the photo with Beckham was taken during a charity soccer match that both of them played in, it's a safe bet the footwear was similar. I'm not saying it's an ideal shot, but a 6'3" person should look taller, telephoto lens or not. patrick says on 29/Nov/07
Guys: that pic is typically the kind of one not being able to be taken as a proof! The other guy could even be shorter, I assure you I can make appear him taller than Brandon and for one simple reason: they use a telephoto lenses!
Any photographer, even an amateur, will be able to confirm it! I confess I am surprised in seeing people caught out like that with a so simple and commong normal thing, not even a "trick"; just a way of shooting people!
By the way I pratice photography for 40 years. RobertJ says on 28/Nov/07
your right he doesn't BUT we can't see footwear or the ground. supes78 says on 25/Nov/07

Guys! Wow, you, AAAA as DaMan, impress me once more! So may I add something? Tyson as all those natural very big guys we all meet from time to time, is indeed mesomorphic but mesomorphic does not mean Tyson type.
I mean, mesomorphic defines a type of people having the ability to gain (or loose) a lot of muscle and also, fat BUT not in the same proportion and never as an endomorphic one would do it. (I mean “fat”).
Example: Arnold is much more a mesomorph than Sly Stallone while they probably were about the same frame when very young. Sly never could get that muscle mass Arnold succeeded to do, by far!
And those who think he did not take “the same things” as Arnold would be disappointed…
Charles Bronson was for me, the more athletic man, natural one, I ever saw. I met him in the early 70ies and was like a rock! Even then, I could not see his “ham-arms”! He was “so” and I remember Arnold talking about him and saying he was a “phenomenon” and I think he was a specialist.
So, some men are very muscular but “fat around”: Oliver Hardy was both a mesomorph and endomorph. His arms were huge and it is known he was very strong. Burl Yves or Ed Asner and so many others like Rod Steiger or even better, Bonanza’s star Dan Blocker are or were meso and endomorphic.
A simple fat man, without real muscle (which is quite rare) would be a pure endomorphic.
You’re right, Tom and Brandon are a mixture of those types but Tom is definitely more mesomorph than ectomorph. If he ever was, that is above all because of his model status.
I always said he could easily get fat as John Wayne did without ever appearing really fat!
John Wayne was lean but muscled when around 20 and though he did not really practice a sport, he got weight whose a good part was thick muscles: he had the structure for that!
Look at the neck of those guys and you will see quickly whether they can really become big or just temporarily.
Chris Reeve became for a time very muscled but never like Tom. Brandon would be that type more than Tom.
How do you think monster as the current strugglers as Kane or so were when children?
I’ll finish in saying that YET, a good lean young mesomorph as Tom or Arnold when very young can grow much bigger than a natural bulky endomorph one.
We all have a “certain” potential as we have a clock which determines how muscle we can get and how long we have to live.
Arnold and Sly example again!
I hate that Tom’s pic and NEVER will show it to my wife! Be careful Tom, after SV if you let you go this way… AAAA says on 16/Oct/07
Yeah.... he was insanly musclar with so little bodyfat. I think in his prime he was 225 lbs of solid muscle on his 6'1 frame. That is quite large anyway, but he had almost no fat Blackmax says on 16/Oct/07
Tom Welling and Brandon Routh look exactly the same height, but Welling maybe a bit taller or visa versa. They both do look 6ft 2 1/2ins. Da Man says on 16/Oct/07
Bo Jackson, that's definitely a good example of a true meso. Remember those Black and Blue posters? AAAA says on 15/Oct/07
Excellent Point Daman. I remeber reading somewhere that he was already 200 lbs at the age of 13 and could bech over his own body weight. Now that you got me thinking, Bo jackson is pretty close to a true meso then. I read that he didn't even start to work out until after his hip injury, and he was a an outstanding physical specimen, same as tyson, at a real young age. And he looks even bigger now Da Man says on 15/Oct/07
AAAA, you're thinking of the ectomorph somatype. Endomorph is the larger, heavier, rounder body type. I agree with you that both Welling and Routh are combinations of mesomorph and ectomorph body types, with Welling leaning more towards mesomorph than Routh. Mike Tyson I think is probably a good example of something close to a true mesomorph. AAAA says on 13/Oct/07
LOL....Tom looks like a Lumberjack in that photo Da Man. I could see welling maybe being a bit shorter, but I tend to believe they are the same height.
What I really find funny is how lean Welling was at the start of Smallville, and what a Bear he can look like now. Routh has a really thin natural frame. outh is more of the endomorph(I think this is the skinny one but not sure, so please let me know if I am wrong), and welling seems closer to mesomorph. both men are in between meso and endo, but closer to extermes than the other. Has there ever really been a True mesomorph. I have seen plenty of pure ecto's and endo's, but I doubt I have ever met a pure meso. I also think Routh is older looking than welling. Welling easily looks like he could be Clarks age in the show now. I still can't believe he is 30 Da Man says on 10/Oct/07
Do you think Welling would be marginally shorter than Routh or something like 1" - 1.5" shorter, Viper?
I could see Welling being .25" - .5" shorter, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are the same height either. Either way, I think Welling could probably break Routh in half.

i think it's closer to 6'2, i mean editor rob's head reaches the bottom of routh's nose, so a 2 inch nose and 4 inch forehead give you 6ft2...assuming footware was the same.
what was routh wearing ? dmeyer says on 3/Oct/07
i agree could be 190 cm Cairo86 says on 3/Oct/07
He doesn't look as big in width as he did in the movie. 6ft 2.25-2.5 is what his height appears to be. Shiku says on 2/Oct/07
looks 6'3 6'3.5'' JK says on 2/Oct/07
He looks 6'2.5'' - 6'2.75'' with Rob AAAA says on 2/Oct/07
I read 6'3 215lbs at the time of superman returns, though I'd really like to hear the part where they said he was 6'2.5 in superman returns. Where was that. And Rob, I agree, I wish you could get one with welling, though it would end a lot of debate, I'd really like to see it Danimal says on 2/Oct/07
Minimum 6'3" and probably MAX 210-220 pounds. Da Man says on 2/Oct/07
Patrick, I bet he's lost about 20 lbs. of muscle since filming Superman Returns.
Click Here patrick says on 2/Oct/07
He looks minimum 6'2.5 and could easily be 6'3; bout his "muscles", even though he is not as bulky as he appears in SR, don't forget he wore a "special" suit in the movie and was working out daily. Chris Reeve was not the same out of his Superman films! Besides, look attentively at his arms: they are sinewy and that kind of Tshirt, furthermore very dark, hides all relief. He's indeed, not as he was but I cannot find him "skinny" for all that! Sure Tom is "thicker" than him but who could doubt that even before this pic? ray says on 2/Oct/07
Guys dont see the shoulder, but the head point. Nothing wrong in saying 6.3 inches for routh. Rob Thanks a Ton, Hope u get one with Josh duhammel too. ER. says on 2/Oct/07
To be totally honest he doesn't look THAT much bigger than me in that picture. I weight 165 - 170 lbs. - and me and him are the same height. I'd say he's MAX 190 lbs like Alex commented - and nothing more. 250 pounds is absurd. Bad Radio says on 2/Oct/07
he's 6'2.5 ..they even mentioned this in the superman DVD. He had to wear special boots in the movie to reach that 6'4 mark, cus Christopher Reeves was 6'4. steph says on 1/Oct/07
really? on magazines they boasted that he was 6 4. but then again, never trust those gossip magazines haha. OutBenchThis says on 1/Oct/07
189cm appears correct..could be 188cm but you could argue 189cm aswell. Finally put it up Rob! Well done mate! :p
I'd say that makes Rock no less than 189cm but I'd be having trouble buying into any bigger than 190cm for Dwayne. AAAA says on 1/Oct/07
And Rob, there was only my mental clock, which I credit to my (as I am always told) freakishly accurate memmory. And in my defense, I have no defense. I trust you, but I am incredibly OCD
[Editor Rob: maybe some thought that pic was never going up ;) Just glad routh was willing to do such an event. I only wish Welling would do one after smallville ends. I know an organiser tried to get him but he isn't considering it. I'd expect Tom to look very similar in height...] AAAA says on 1/Oct/07
On a side not, I really thought he would have a bigger frame, even if he did lose a lot of the muscle he gained. I also thought his shoulders were wider. And that is a strange haircut AAAA says on 1/Oct/07
That man has a big damn chin.....Absolutely 6'2.5 maybe 6'2.75 like before. Either way, could easily pass for 6'3 or a bit more to casual observers, unlike us 6'3.5'' JK says on 1/Oct/07
He looks pretty tall there, Rob he has more inches on you than the Phelps twins and they're listed at 6'3'' on this site?!? derek says on 1/Oct/07
he looks an easy 6'3 i mean look at the shoulder difference supes78 says on 1/Oct/07
Routh looks skinny in that photo proving once again the man was nowhere near 250lbs as was reported during the time of SR. Next to Rob, Routh looks 6'3" max, but 6'2.5" seems spot on. Don't forget that Routh has more of a 'fro than Rob's clean cut hairstyle. RobertJ says on 1/Oct/07
YES!!! It's finally here! He doesn't look less than 6'2'' so 6'2.5'' is spot on, if not slightly more. Alex says on 1/Oct/07
I am just reading the 250lbs estimates for him, LOL.
Looks anywhere from 190-200lbs. I'm 190lbs or so and I look bigger than him and I'm 2 inches shorter than him. Da Man says on 1/Oct/07
Yet another agreement, 6'2.5" almost on the dot assuming comparable footwear. Was your footwear comparable Rob?
Looks like he's lost a lot of mass since SR.
[Editor Rob: yes, I'm not going to argue he's really as big as he looks, luckily it's as close to an ideal photo I probably could have got. He had a brown shoe, I had trainers, not much difference. Many folk commented on how tall he looked at that event. I don't know what they were expecting, a 5ft 11 superman :)] lillo thomas says on 1/Oct/07
yep in the pic the diference between brandom and rob look a little over 6 inches the guy look 6-2.5 lillo thomas says on 1/Oct/07
yep in the pic the diference between brandom and rob look a little over 6 inches the guy look 6-2.5 miko says on 1/Oct/07
looks as high as 6"5 here - at least 7" taller. dmeyer says on 1/Oct/07
realy look 189 190 cm with you rob 6'3 is very arguable Ed says on 1/Oct/07
Barefoot 6ft2.5, maybe even 6ft3 is a perfect estimate for Routh! There's definitely a good 6 plus inch difference between Rob and Routh. Now when adding his big heeled Superman costume boots, you can see why he looked 6ft4ish in SR. 5'3" Aix says on 1/Oct/07
Does look like 6'2.5". Thanks for the pic, really hot guy! Alex says on 1/Oct/07
He does look a legit 6'2.5 with Rob. I see a little over 6 inches there. leonari says on 1/Oct/07
huge fella AAAA says on 1/Oct/07
It is now October 1st. Oh please don't disappoint me. I have been waiting 6 months now.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
[Editor Rob: man, have you had some sort of "Countdown till Routh day" clock ;)
always trust the Rob, well most of the time.
I said October, it is October, so Routh can now be immortalized standing tall on the site!] RobertJ says on 28/Sep/07
C'mon picture! it's close enough to October. AAAA says on 1/Sep/07
So Rob, not to be a total nudge, but I am counting down to your October promise to see your pic with routh.....I am REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO THIS vLo says on 28/Aug/07
We (my husband and I) saw him in person when we were in LA. Weird Hollywood moment when we were actually in a restaurant in LA and there was a movie star present. Anyhoooo.... He's as tall as my husband slouching around and in normal shoes which makes him just a hair under 6ft 3. RobertJ says on 8/Aug/07
yeah but if all celebs wore them than there would way less debates on height. Anonymous says on 6/Aug/07
converse shoes suck Anonymous says on 6/Aug/07
this site just goes OTT sometimes, half the people on here that are downgraded 1cm from their claim (i.e. listed here as 174 even when they say 5'9/175) I would bet my ass actually are that 1cm more
seriously, who actually walks with the perfect posture that you have when someone measures you?! I hardly believe it's even possible to tell if someone upped their height by 1cm unless they are stood right next to someone who is that 1cm more so you can see the difference. and that's IN PERSON I think it's pretty hard to tell 1cm, so debating about whether someone is 6'2.2 or 6'2 3/8 from TV and films just blows my mind
I mean I don't even believe you could tell in person if someone truly is 174 and not 175, shoes can make that difference!! and hair!! (I mean seeing where the top of their head exactly stops, not height from hair). I'm 175 myself but a couple years ago at college (I'm 19 now, it's POSSIBLE I may have grown a CM or 2 in the last couple years but I really, really doubt it, I don't think I've grown since like 15 or something, but I can't say by measurements cause I first measured at like 18 and a half or something, I'm just going on the comparison to my dad who is basically same height as me) some guy told me I wasn't 5'9 but "about 5'8", and it's like... I have bad posture for a start I know that, and I've always worn Converse!! pretty much the flatest (decent) shoe you can get, so I probably have never "looked" a full 5'9, but I know for a fact I wasn't "about 5'8" at the time, if you get where I'm coming from... I mean fair enough you do get people that just take the piss with it like that guy from the 70's show, Will something, who claim's over 5'9 and from a pic on this site looks closer (I'm not gonna say he is 5'7 for a fact or antyhing cause I'm bad at judging heights etc anyway, well, specific heights) to 5'7!
this isn't meant to be directly aimed at anyone and I'm not trying to offend anyone but seriously... Blackmax says on 25/Jul/07
You guys are taking this acurracy thing too far, come on 6ft 2 3/8 is 6ft 2 1/2. How do you know anyway, until you see him actually measured. Your talking about 0.5 cm. I say He's 189cm same height as myself. guy says on 13/Jul/07
I'm not convinced he's a 6-2.5 guy. I watched superman recently and saw him in interviews. I can't say he's anymore than 6-2 3/8. OutBenchThis says on 4/Jul/07
So Rob..about the pic with you and Routh..lol :P I'm curious to see this pic mate, cheers.
[Editor Rob: in October] Da Man says on 6/Jun/07
LOL, still no pic. When are you going to post the pic Rob?
[Editor Rob: at the rate I put them up probably not till the sequel comes out!] AAAA says on 1/Jun/07
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the pic of you and routh Rob....... I want to see so bad!!!! supes78 says on 30/May/07
Patrick, please tell me your native language is not English. RobertJ says on 25/May/07
You lost me patrick. patrick says on 25/May/07
Anyway, this guy has "the touch", something I couldn't qualify but meaning "magic"; I think as Tom Welling, the other current Superman, he doesn't care of how tall he is and accepts himself as God made him, nothing more; I feel him being bet 6'2.5 and, why not, 6'3; I really thought The Rock was 6'3 MIN. So, no more than with Smallville, we cannot use SUP. returns as a way to evaluate his height; In his caes, for sure, they did anything to make him look at least as tall as Chris Reeve, deal! I am quite sure, Chris was nevertheless taller than him but i can mistake! RobertJ says on 24/May/07
His Superman boots added about an inch when he was in the suit. l0ck n l0ad says on 23/May/07
he seems pretty tall, nothing under 6'2. could someone just explain to me how the hell did he manage to look a solid 6'4" in superman returns? before checkin his height here i was sure he's one of the skinnest 6'4"ers i've seen lol AAAA says on 13/May/07
Rob, you've got a photo with routh??!!!....Please post it soon Da Man says on 13/May/07
Pretty good story, Rob. It's good to hear that Routh is a down to earth, humble guy. We should expect no less from Superman. lol RAY says on 12/May/07
nice work , routh is just .25 inch taller than hugh jackman. but he is not shorter than rock anytime. Da Man says on 11/May/07
Editor Rob, just curious as to what Routh's response was to you mentioning the 6-4 newspaper mentions? Did he find it funny or what?
[Editor Rob: I was saying that how he'd grown from his six three to four and I expect by superman sequel he'd be six foot five. Yes he laughed a little, also at his ancient website, I told him there was no hiding from it, the archive had gobbled it up. I hinted at him he'd also better stand tall for photoshoot, you know, live up to the expected six four. I think he remembered in shot when I sais 'stand tall now'] RobertJ says on 8/May/07
He's been downsized!? RAY says on 8/May/07
the last pic of (Mr vegas) proves rock is standing on a higher surface as he is raising his head , hehe and also the school board behind them proves the floor is not even and rock has an advantage. RAY says on 8/May/07
the below photo proves rock is standing on higher surface and the after school behind them also proves it. RAY says on 8/May/07
rock's shoe's look more heeled too ( see all pics by mr vegas pls ) in addition to he standing on higher surface ( after school board behind them proves the board is slanting ) and being closer to the camera. superman is taller. RAY says on 8/May/07
VEGAS FOR GOD SAKE SEE THE FLOOR AND THE SEE 1.WHO IS CLOSER TO THE CAMERA (ROCK), 2.I MEAN U HAVE TO SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THE FLOOR IS SLANTING BY SEEING THE AFTER SCHOOL BOARD BEHIND THEMMMM. THESE two points prove rock is not taller than ROUTH irrespective of rock being quoted 6.3 here. i personally believe rock is 6.2 flat and routh is 6.2 feet.25 to 6.2 feet.5 inch flat. supes78 says on 8/May/07
Wow. So Routh has been downgraded again back to the widely publicized 6'2.5" height. I would have to agree with that, but I can see why people would think he's 6'3". He's got great posture and the fluffy hair so it's hard to gauge accurately at times.
[Editor Rob: Suffice to say original 6ft 2.5 is closer to the truth. But a proper 189cm at night time...
I may also add, on the Sunday morning I was siphoning through about 200 of the Routh photoshoot pics trying to find my saturday one and I saw a handful beside people whose height I know. He was 1.5-2 inches shorter than a guy who is a very strong 6ft 4, but he looked nearly 2 inches taller than a guy who is 6ft 1, although I don't know whether that guy was wearing hugh jackman style shoes or whatnot, routh definitely had brown shoes on which looked 1.2. 0% chance of lifts] TheJerk says on 8/May/07
Certainly a well proportioned 6-2. He doesn't seem that "buff", but more so cut. Like a well trained yoga instructor. Vegas says on 8/May/07
Ray that photo sucks
rock is taller Click Here
rock is taller Click Here
rock is taller Click Here
based simply on this photo the Routh/Rock debate is dead its a clear 0.5-1" in Rocks favour Click Here Ray if Routh is 0.5" taller than Rock i'll eat my hat. Da Man says on 8/May/07
They look very, very similar in the pics. Da Man says on 8/May/07
Ray, I think your fighting a losing battle. The Rock is not shorter than Routh.
[Editor Rob: there's a lot of shots, in a number rock is marginally closer, they are too close to call, for once though the Rock isn't really slouching like he can do] RAY says on 8/May/07
I think 6ft 2.5 is correct for routh but rock is 6.2 and not taller than routh. Editor Rob says on 8/May/07
Lol,
I was talking to Routh about earlier career and his old defunct website and stuff. Lets put it this way, some folk when I *eventually* put my pic(s), which is pretty near ideal for photo comparison, many would say 6ft 3.
When his auto queue had died down a bit monday I went up a couple times with some other guys and was joking with him about seeing his early website and about how he had grew to 6ft 4 in some newspaper, the guy is humble...put it this way, 6ft 3 would be on his resume, but like Tom welling...
If you remember when the publicist gave him 6ft 2.5, closer to the truth, but people automatically would think 6ft 3...his head is barely bigger than mine actually. |
