I've stood facing Mr eccleston when he was playing Hamlet at Leeds Yorkshire Playhouse in the restaurant he was significantly below 6' - 5'10.5" is more on the money. I should know being 6'2" my self.

He was a inch or two taller than daniel Craig in a British Tv series of the 90s

If I came over to L.A. people would think I'm 6ft5 lol.

Daii says on 15/Aug/08
I would say he is 6'0 with no shoes on, 6'1 with shoes. Hes a tall skinny kind of guy, hes definitely over 5'11

Jara says on 5/Aug/08
I think he looked taller to me... who knows.. somebody should measure him without shoes on. It would be nice. I could said he's 6'2 but didn't matter... someone should put him and david without shoes to see who's taller.

I have met him more than a few times and he is taller than my one friend, who is just over six feet. I'd put Christopher at 6'2".

I gotta say 6'2" from everything I've seen and read.

EX-TER-MI-NATE!!!!!

i was watching topgear the other day and he stood toe - toe with clarkson and he was easy the same height as him and he is supposedly a 6'5ish guy!!!!!!

Mr Mayfair says on 13/Nov/07

dmeyer says on 11/Apr/07

Cat Stevens says on 9/Apr/07

He's 6'2". It was this height that was one of the factors in him being cast as Derek Bentley.

shorter then nic cage by 1inch in gone in 60 seconds.If cage is 6ft, then eccleston is 5ft11

Anon says on 14/Oct/06
He is very tall - I have met him on three occasions in the last year. His hands are BIG when signing autographs!!! But he is the most gentle of all giants, an extremely charming and shy guy.

I agree with "The Guv'nor." He can't be only 6foot. It's definately 6'1 - 6'2.

The Guv'nor says on 29/May/06
I think this one is definitely wrong. Ive seen this fella at a football match in England and I found him a very imposing guy indeed. I am 6'1" without shoes and he was definitely taller than me. I would say 6'2" at very least, no way is he only 6ft.

Phil says on 14/May/06
He's definately taller than David Tennant, because he towers over Billie Piper in Doctor Who far more than David Tennant. And Tennant is listed as 6ft 1.

[Editor Rob: Tennant can be a weak 6ft 1, I think Stuart Head looked a tad taller in one doctor who ep, but then he wears trainers that might have shorter heel size...]

was smaller than robbie coltrane in cracker, and coltrane is listed as 6'1". incidently how tall is british character actor edward peel, who played ecclestons boss in a few episodes?

John says on 6/Dec/05
He was the same height as Peter Vaughan, who played his father in "Our Friends in the North". Granted, Vaughan was 72 at the time and may have lost some height but if you can find out how tall he is then that will confirm whether Eccleston is 6'0 or 6'2.

[Editor Rob: I just added vaughn...he was 6ft, no idea how much he shrunk now though.]

Big Dave says on 12/Jul/05
I think that 6ft is spot on. He looks about 3-4 inches taller than Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later. He's definitely not over 6ft.

Biffy says on 6/Jul/05
That last picture from Jude could easily be misleading: they don't appear to be on even ground, and it's possible he could be in the low point of his stride. I think 6' is bang on. Lined up with 6'1" John Barrowman in Doctor Who you can just about discern a one inch difference at times, and both certainly tower equally over 5'4/5" Billie Piper (the perspective could be better, but you can just about see it, and Billie is obviously stood on something, of course):

well, in doctor who, he certainly looks tall to me... and I don't think he's wearing platforms... could be 6 feet... could be 6 foot 2... either way, he's lanky enough for me.
