Colin had atleast 2 inches on Glenn and Glenn isn't 5'6.5". He never measured that low and I still don't understand this thing some people have here with using your lowest height. Brad, you go with Glenn's lowest height(actually a bit below his lowest measurement), yet you claim Arnold Schwarzenegger was a half inch taller than his measurement. Talk about a double standard, atleast be consistent.
Farrell is somewhere in the 5'9" range. I'm fine with either 5'9" or 5'9.5" for him, but anything below 5'9" is a joke. If you want to make a case for him being tbelow 5'9" then find some good pictures where he looks it.

I'd say 5-9 for Colin. Anonymous says on 18/Nov/09
G would go bezerk if you'd utter the words "5'7"" as his height. I still member when viper spewed.... "glenn, your 5'7" and glenn blew a head gasket. Comical stuff. And speaking of comical, 5'11" colin fits right into that category. Yes aleks, 5'8" colin next to the Gster. Brad says on 18/Nov/09
Look at him with a 5' 6.5" G. The G. Aleks says on 17/Nov/09
He does look 5'8" next to Glenn. RisingForce says on 17/Nov/09
Ok, when does Colin look 5'8"? Never. Nothing under 5'9" should even be discussed for Colin. He clearly isn't under 5'9". Brad says on 17/Nov/09
G posts about Colin being 5' 11" in "mocassins" is a riot. This guy was such an inflater to support his 5' 8" farce. Colin is tough as he wears custom boots. Rising's March 30th post is hilarious. As I said for years: G was under 5' 7" in photos and if you believe that 5' 8" G garbage about his height you got fooled. G spewed the "see, he's 5' 11" next to me, see!" in a Donald Duck voice. Site height wrecker. Anonymous says on 16/Nov/09
5'8" is reality. 5'10" is a full tank of laughing gas. RisingForce says on 16/Nov/09
I was still closer on that estimate you idiotic downgraders are on a 5'8" Colin Farrell or 5'8" Matt Damon. And why do you post under Anonymous instead of your former name? Were you banned? Anonymous says on 15/Nov/09
Your estimates ARE ridiculous risingforce, including your posts. There all filled with ASSumptions, stubborness and silly myths. You were fighting a 5'10.75" Stallone war for ages and then....*KABOOM!* you were proven wrong. RisingForce says on 13/Nov/09
Unless you want to make yourself look even dumber and argue that actors can basically fit large women's heels in their shoes then yes 3" or just over is about the limit unless you go with the Robert Downey Jr. or Marlon Brando platforms.
Once you stop blaming celebs for your own shortcomings then you'll realize my estimates are not ridiculous. Anonymous says on 13/Nov/09
Don't listen to risingforce. He ignores evidence and magically slaps "3 inch heels" in every actor's footwear just to solidify his ridiculous height estimates, as if he knows how much lifts actor's are packing. burby says on 13/Nov/09
Colin is 5'9", 2" inflate by Glenn. RisingForce says on 13/Nov/09
You might as well choose a name, Anonymous because it seems you've become a regular with your downgrading.
Mel Gibson at 5'8" is a popular myth among downgraders yet there's very little evidence to support it and countless other celebs would have to be downgraded.
Damon at 5'8" is even worse because there's no photographic or visual evidence to support it and very few reports of him being thta short. Farrell at 5'8" is almost as bad.
Gotta love these downgraders. They have to believe that Hollywood is full of men who are below average height to make themselves feel better. Anonymous says on 11/Nov/09
rising's favorite number is 5'9.5" like Mel Gibson, Sly, Matt Damon and Colin when in reality they are all 5'8 men. RisingForce says on 8/Nov/09
I'd say those are more like 2.5" heels. I'm basing that on the fact that i have dress boots with 2.25" heels and they're barely smaller.
I'll stick to 5'9.5" for Colin, but I'm suspicious. He really did seem to be the same height as 5'9" Jamie Foxx when both were in dress shoes and Colin in boots only seemed an inch taller than Foxx in sneakers. But I think Foxx is a very solid 5'9" based on how he looked next to Robert Downey Jr. Mickey says on 6/Nov/09
The pics with Daly make Colin look real short, and thats without factoring his large large heels(3 inch heels?!). I think maybe 5'9" flat for him, or there abouts, no less though. Bo says on 3/Nov/09
WOW! That actually makes me happy haha. I thought he was at LEAST 6 foot, 5'11" minimum, he just seems to be one of the tall, skinny, semi-studly types. Original says on 24/Oct/09
5'9'.25" for me. burby says on 23/Oct/09

Leung, I thought you said 5'9.5" for Farrell. I"ll agree on as low as 5'9", but no way is he 5'8". Anonymous says on 2/Oct/09
i have to agree that hes prob only 5ft 9 cos my girlfriend is tall shes 5ft 11 and she met colin farrell and one of the first things she said to me was that he was very short and she expected him to be taller.
definitely not 5 ft 10. Hugh 191cm says on 1/Oct/09
179cm max Bradi says on 1/Oct/09
This guy is 5'9'' maxed.
I think he needs a downgrade Rob. Jacob says on 29/Sep/09
I once saw him while he was drinking a coffee on the market of bruges (after shooting for the film 'In Bruges' - he's still the only big celebrity i've ever seen actually) and when he stood up i remember being surprised for him being so short. I had always expected him to be way taller but he looked really short. Rob G says on 28/Sep/09
Agreed with Tellem and valeri, in those pictures he looks to be exact same height as Foxx, so 5'9". TELLEM says on 27/Sep/09
farrell looks no more than 5'9 next to jamie foxx. valeri says on 27/Sep/09
risingforce. he clearly is not taller than foxx at all on any of the same footwear pics. dotn be fooeld by colins spiky hair. top of the head and eye level completely same. And seems like downey jr is 5'7.5 next to 5'9 foxx. valeri says on 27/Sep/09
imaginariium of doctor parnassus stars both depp and farrel.they have prety much the same frame.5'9 for both.Foxx was the same height with farrell in miami vice. valeri says on 27/Sep/09
burby is spot on I'm pretty sure. Farrel doesn't look 5'10 without his cowboy boots at all.5'9 yes.Just like Depp 5'9. burby says on 27/Sep/09
RisingForce says on 27/Sep/09
Right burby, so me having him half an inch higher than you is inflating? You're so confident that you can pinpoint a celeb to the EXACT half inch without meeting him with no margin for error? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?
No more ridiculous than you thinking he was 5'11". CF is 5'9" flat, dig? RisingForce says on 27/Sep/09

5'9.5" is another Rising inflate, he's 5'9" flat like Foxx. RisingForce says on 26/Sep/09
5'8" is too low for Farrell. He looks 5'9.5" to me, I'd guess that with his heeled boots he can reach atleast 6 feet. I use to believe he was taller, but check out these pictures with 5'9" Jamie Foxx.

Rob, what's the lowest you think Colin could be? He did look atleast 2 inches shorter than Carson daly even with his heels. Frank2 says on 21/Sep/09
I told everyone repeatedly he wasn't 5'10" or as Glenn described him, 5'11". Pure BS as was Glenn's own height. I mean, look at him. And you're right about him perhaps being under 5'9". He never leaves home without either lifts or high heeled boots. Anonymous says on 20/Sep/09
Click Here He's 5'8.5 5'9 max michelle says on 11/Sep/09
i think he is 5'8 or maybe 5'9, he looks the same height that tom cruise but he has a more proportional body so he can look really taller from what he really is, however he is a hot guy RisingForce says on 24/Aug/09
Well Derek, Frank did say he'd guess around 5'8.5", maybe 5'9". Farrell looks 5'9.5" to me next to Carson Daly assuming he doesn't have lifts with those 2.5" heels. I did see Colin on Jay Leno's show probably a year ago and he had big boots and he was noticeably shorter than Jay. derek d says on 23/Aug/09
I think Frank is right, 5'9 seems about right. He may even be 5'8 ish for all we know. Lifts and heels can do a lot. RisingForce says on 15/Aug/09
Apparently Colin hasn't tried to hide his big footwear. This was in GQ in November 2003
Five-foot-ten-inch Colin Farrell bends his knee, pulls up his jeans cuff and flicks one of the chunky boots he’s stolen from some wardrobe trailer.
“It’s the high heels,” he says. Explaining his newfound stature.
I think that Colin's footwear can make him look 5'11". RisingForce says on 13/Aug/09
Glenn claimed Farrell was 5'11". No disrespect to Glenn, but I never understood how Colin could be 5'11" if he was officially listed at 5'10".
I think Colin is 5'9.5" and Willis is about 2 inches taller. Colin could be wearing lifts in those pictures, his footwear often looks suspicious. somebody says on 13/Aug/09

farrell had 3 inches on her and was slouching. manamal says on 2/Aug/09
only 2 inches taller than 5"7 Ellen DeGeneres when he was on, he is in large cowboy boots and she is in flat trainers somebody says on 30/Jul/09
assuming carson daly who is 6´1 barefoot is 187 cm in those 2 cm sneakers ... then farrell seems to be 180 cm in those boots ... both in quite similar posture, farrell´s eyes come up to daly´s nose what means that there is a 7 cm difference as this is in general the difference between eye-level and nose (give or take half a cm)
to me, those boots look to have a heel of about 5 cm which means 5´9 barefoot for colin (or definately 5´9 area as it is nearly impossible to put down a height to the exact mm just looling at pictures)
i personally think that it doesn´t make sense at all to try to put down very exact heights ... it makes much more sense to agree on a certain height area ... for example farrell hovers around in the 5´9 area, while harrisson ford is in the 6´area, it is nearly impossible to pin down anything more exact than that if there´s no possiblity to put a person on a stadiometer or even measure him in an other way (even it´s just a unpresice method of measurement like put him against a wall or something) RisingForce says on 29/Jul/09
Yeah, he can defintley look 5'9", but I agree with 5'9.5". Even when he wore boots he was noticeably shorter than 5'11" Jay Leno who was wearing dress shoes. So 5'10" seems too high. Leung says on 28/Jul/09
I agree that he can often look 5’9” but I don’t think he’s that short. I’m happy with 5’9.5” for Farrell. Frank2 says on 28/Jul/09
Subtract half an inch and you've got his height. Leung says on 27/Jul/09
RisingForce,
I reckon 5’9.5” RisingForce says on 27/Jul/09
Leung, how tall do you think Colin is? Leung says on 26/Jul/09
Yeah those are some serious man heels!
But I actually think they look alright on him. RisingForce says on 26/Jul/09
Yeah, and even with those heels he was 2 inches shorter than 6'1" Carson Daly, who as you can see in the other picture was wearing sneakers. Click Here Click Here
I'd say he's no taller than 5'9.5". Maybe that's why he was about the same height as Jamie Foxx and Ewan McGregor Frank2 says on 25/Jul/09
Those heels on his boots look higher than what my wife wears! RisingForce says on 25/Jul/09
Colin surprisingly is in dress shoes rather than boots and heels with Norton. He's almost always in boots and look at some of his heels. Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Heels like those make me wonder if Colin would wear lifts. It wouldn't surprise me. Even though he hasn't been wearing heels like those lately he still usually wears boots. DejaVu says on 21/Jul/09
If Colin Farrell is 5'9 as Frank2 has mentioned, then that puts Norton at a weak 6 foot or a strong 5'11.

Glenn said he was 5' 11" in moccasins next to him. Whatta joke. Sandals, moccasins, Glenn had the best footwear at the right moments for these guys, I'm surpised Emile wasn't in Mariah Carey shoes.Rising said Glenn was 5' 8" on the left picture together and Farrell 5' 11" in it. Glenn said he was in boots on the right picture and he's barely shorter than Farrell. Pretty short next to a 5' 6.5" person. That isn't 4.5". Frank2 says on 17/Jun/09

Frank2, what's your estimate I heard you said either 5'8" or 5'9" for Colin? Which is more likely in your opinion? Did you notice his shoes? Judging from his footwear in this picture, it's something to keep in mind. Click Here Click Here
Colin looks between 5'9" and 5'10" in movies and pictures in my opinion. Judging just from that I'd think he was 5'9.5", but I also think he wears lifts. Frank2 says on 8/Jun/09
No way is he 5"10". Jasper says on 8/Jun/09
I remember him on the Oprah Winfrey show, the women were going crazy and he got to pick 3 women to interview him or something, and they just towered over him. Guy was wearing major heels as well.

Kilmer is my height or 5'11". I've stood face to face with him. Farrell is most likely 5'9". When I've seen him, he doesn't look any taller. So the two inches you see between them makes perfect sense. kristy says on 30/May/09
I don´t think so, he looks shorter Mehmet says on 28/May/09
I have seen about 10 movies from Colin and I would say him to be a height of between 5ft9.75'' (177cm) and 5ft10'' (178cm), not taller than 178cm and not shorter than 177cm. Hugh 190cm says on 22/May/09

come on guys! we need to go back to basics! nigglebonce - i take ur point but remember that clemence wears heels in a lot of thoses scenes so it's just crazy to take this over glenn's photos - moccassins or not... looking at the link below (thanx for this RisingForce) i'd say he's somewhere between 5'10'' and 5'10.5''. hats and his hair volume are big prob though...glenn what's your take? RisingForce says on 17/Apr/09
So moccasins in the picture on the left? He sure does seem like he could stretch to 5'11" there. I've always been suspicious based on the fact that he's officially listed at 5-10, he usually looks 5-9.5 in movies/pictures and he's always in boots sometimes with massive 2.5" heels. I believe you said that you were expecting him to be 5-9 before you met him and were shocked at how tall he was.
You've got some pretty damn good photo proof to back up your 5-11 claims since he's wearing moccasins. I'm not too familiar with moccasins since I usually wear boots myself, but from what I remember they seem too thin for lifts. Not to mention that he was described in an article once as "just short of 6 feet". nigglebonce says on 17/Apr/09
Hey guys, I'm new to the site and can't seem to see the Colin Farrell image? I'd love to get a look at those moccasins as I'm still honestly not convinced he's much more than 5ft 9in. I recently watched In Bruges and he didn't look a lot taller than Clemence Poesy and I know for a goddam fact she's 5ft 7in (170cm). glenn says on 16/Apr/09
yes,indeed.he is wearing flat moccasins where he is slouching.and im slightly on my toes.or at least stretching too much.you can notice that in me too. glenn says on 16/Apr/09
i respect that pete york.at least you stated my height with class and like a gentleman.evening was the key words. RisingForce says on 15/Apr/09
I didn't think Glenn had a picture taken on the night that Colin was wearing moccasins. I could be wrong though. If I'm wrong then that's almost as good as his photo proof with Sly and Woody in sandals each. ACG says on 14/Apr/09
i could've sworn glenn once said they were moccasins(sp?)....therefore giving Colin no height. And on top of that, I believe glenn said HE was wearing boots and standing on slight tiptoes with unnaturally stiff posture.
With Colin slouching majorly, it's easy to see him at 5'11. RisingForce says on 11/Apr/09
What kind of shoes was Colin wearing Glenn? peteyork says on 10/Apr/09
Glenn's 5'7 evening, Farrell's 5'9 1/2 glenn says on 1/Apr/09
great find risingforce.rob,please do use those colin pics.i was in boots on the right.im almost on my toes in the left. Leo says on 30/Mar/09
Thanks for the link RisingForce - tbh to me Colin looks 5ft 10 in those pictures maybe 5ft 10.5 on the left, difficult to judge with the hats. On the right there's only 1.5 inches. I think the jury is still out on this guy for most people. The 5ft 10 marker Rob put in here is tops but accurate. RisingForce says on 30/Mar/09
I don't doubt he looked 5'9.5" to you Leo because he looks that in most pictures/movies. But Glenn has met Colin more than once and in flat footwear, plus he has 2 pictures with Colin. Click Here
Glenn is 5'8" and in the picture on the left I could defintley see Colin at 5-11ish if he straightened up and atleast 5'10" in the other picture if he had Glenn's posture. Leo says on 28/Mar/09
James and Glenn - I'm from Dublin, I go to Krystle nightclub most weekends - I saw him there last summer (2008) on a Saturday night, the night before he appeared on a national tv talk show. Dublin is very small, I've seen most of Ireland's celebs at this stage somewhere, including all of U2, Westlife, Enya, Daniel Day Lewis, the Corrs, and obviously enough Colin. ACG I meant to say 5tf 11. Anyway, 5ft 9.5 barefoot for Colin Farrell. (In the shoes he has on, he looked about 5ft 10.5. JD says on 21/Mar/09

Nothing under 5'10" for Colin Farrell. Vibram says on 14/Feb/09
McGregor is 175cm tops; I could take 174cm next to 171cm Charley Boorman (U.K people would know him from a TV series). Farrell is either 175cm or 176cm comparing him next to McGregor, and no more! Thats 5ft9.25 tops not 5ft10! DejaVu says on 12/Feb/09

I saw Colin in the San Francisco airport yesterday arriving from LA he had a small fedora hat on and was shorter than me (5'10"). I would say he is maybe 5'9" if he was lucky. My wife said he was pretty short huh? glenn says on 7/Feb/09
anythings possible risingforce.but he looked 5-11 to me in flat moccasins.one thing is certain-he isnt shorter than 5-10. RisingForce says on 6/Feb/09
Do you think he wears lifts Glenn? He wears boots most of the time, but that obviously doesn't mean he wears lifts. I'm wondering though because I've seen his height look anywhere from a strong 5'11", pushing 6 foot down to a weak 5'9" in pictures.
At times I'm starting to lean towards 5'11" for Colin because of how tall he looked next to Val Kilmer and Katie Holmes, but then I remember him wearing boots and still being shorter than Jay Leno who is 5'11". glenn says on 6/Feb/09
thats a hell of a drop in height. glenn says on 6/Feb/09
and i dont. ACG says on 4/Feb/09
Leo- so you shrink 11.25 inches during the day??? Leo says on 2/Feb/09
Saw him in Krystle nightclub in Dublin. I'm 5ft 11.25 - at that time of night I'm 5ft - looked to me to be 5ft 9.5, had inch dark brown dress shoes on. Spikey hair but 5ft 9.5 for sure. Hugh says on 1/Feb/09
5ft11 out of bed. glenn says on 1/Feb/09
didnt know you didnt see the picture source.i know risingforce didnt.everyone ignored it regardless. RisingForce says on 1/Feb/09
I've never seen your pictures with Colin, so I won't rule out what you're saying. There was an article that described Colin as "just short of 6 feet tall" too.
I'm still skeptical of 5-11 though because of when Colin was on Jay Leno's show in boots and he was shorter than Leno was in dress shoes. I know Colin isn't under 5-10, but I'm not sure he seems as tall as 5-11. Source says on 1/Feb/09
Okay, never saw that picture so i wouldn't know... glenn says on 1/Feb/09
he isnt 5-9 cause i saw him in moccasins look 5-11.and had a photo above showing him crouching next to me.this the one page people ignored my pics the most. Source says on 31/Jan/09
I'd say he's a 5'9(175cm) because...
He looks about the same height as Ewan McGregor who's 5'9(175cm).
And on the pictures with Val Kilmer he's wearing boots, not Val.
He looks the same height as Jamie Foxx without his boots and he's also 5'9(175cm).
All this tells me he's 5'9(175cm) and with his precious boots a 5'10(178cm). glenn says on 31/Jan/09
maybe colin is somewhat under 5-11.he could be flat 5-10,but i really doubt it. RisingForce says on 31/Jan/09
Well that certainly backs up Colin at about 5-11 as they seemed to have normal dress shoes and they were full body shots.
But what about the pictures where Clooney was 3 inches taller? If Clooney is 5-11.5 then he'd have to be in 3 inch elevator shoes and Colin would have to be in Converse for Colin to be 5-11.
I don't think Colin is a hair under 5-10, but 5-10, 5-10.5 is easier for me to believe then 5-11. glenn says on 31/Jan/09
mcrgegor is 5-10.5.i was fooled by his slouch. RisingForce says on 30/Jan/09
Has 5-9.5 for Mcgregor been confirmed? That'd make Colin 5-10, but you hear 5-10.5 for Ewan and oddly even 6-0 for Ewan!
If the 5-10.5 listing for Ewan is true then that'd back up Colin at 5-11. The Horse of FUNK says on 29/Jan/09
Ewan's not exactly standing straight with Colin though, where as Colin is using good posture.
Tim, Colm Meaney can't be 5'11.5". I know, it's funky, ain't it? When I first noticed Colm Meaney I swore the guy was like 6'1", but he's a solid 5'11" flat. Why do I say solid flat 5'11" for Meaney? Watch him with Star Trek co-star Alexander Siddig who is a self-admitted 182cm, 5'11.75". Colm is clearly slightly shorter than him. So, if Colin's shorter than Meaney, then there's no way in hell Colin can be 5'11". I think 5'10" suits Colin the best. Maybe Colin Farrell is like the 5'10" version of Ed Harris. RisingForce says on 29/Jan/09
The reason why I question a full 5-11 is because I saw him on Jay Leno's show not too long ago and he was wearing boots, but he was still clearly shorter than Leno.
Here I've done my best to post a collection of pictures of Colin with well known celebrities where everyone's footwear is known.
First Colin looking 5-10.5, 5-11 next to 6-0 Val Kilmer, both are wearing cowboy boots. Looks more 5-11 than 5-10.5 in the first picture and more 5-10.5 in the second.

How tall is Ewan McGregor? Colin looks about half an inch taller and they're both in dress shoes.

Colin and 5-9 Jamie Foxx both in dress shoes both oddly looking about the same height. Foxx might actually be a little taller here.

Colin in boots looking an inch taller Foxx who is wearing sneakers.

Colin looks about 2, maybe 2 and a half inches shorter than 6-0ish Edward Norton.
Click Here
Both of them are wearing what appear to be normal shoes.

All of these estimates are assuming he's not wearing lifts and considering what we know about footwear.
He looks 5-10.5, 5-11 with Val Kilmer, A weak 5-9 with Jamie Foxx, 5-9.5, maybe 5-10 with Jay Leno and a weak 5-10 with Edward Norton. Plus a half inch taller than whatever Ewan McGregor's height is. tim says on 27/Jan/09
he'd be between 5-10 and 5-11, no shorter. everyone says 5'9 but why do they have to downgrade everyone. he's at least 2 centimetres taller than jamie fox. he's a bit smaller than colm meaney though in intermission, id say he's colin farrell is 5-10.5, jamie foxx is 5'9.75 and colm meaney is 5'11.5. RisingForce says on 26/Jan/09
5'9" seems low, what makes you say he's only 5'9"? Source says on 25/Jan/09
I'd say he's a 5'9(175cm). glenn says on 18/Jan/09
norton should be 6-1.next to pitt he looks it.next to me he looked 6ft.but that doesnt mean anything.maybe its posture.he doesnt like to pose with people. Hugh says on 17/Jan/09
Maybe Ed Norton is 6ft1. Ed(1) says on 13/Jan/09
Just an observation, Farrell looked to be around 1-2" shorter, then Brendan Gleeson(6ft1.5) the other night at The Globes, and this was while wearing cowboy boots. I still think he's a solid 5ft10, and could possibly be 5ft10.5 if not a bit more. He's also super skinny now which adds to the illusion of him being even taller. RisingForce says on 12/Jan/09
I think both Colin and Damon are strong 5'10" guys actually. MB says on 9/Jan/09
Thanks guys! FYI-I'm actually a "she" Anyway I don't have a height listing for her. She's really not a celebrity except for dating him, so finding her height might be kind of tough. But I did find some pics of CF with Bruce Willis. Would that help, since his height is more easily verified? I'm just not sure how to post them here. Rick says on 6/Jan/09
MB you are a wise man. Thanks for confirming my suspicions regarding the pics. RisingForce says on 6/Jan/09
Thanks MB! Hopefully someone can find some height listing for her. I've looked but I've found nothing so far. MB says on 5/Jan/09
The girl in the bathing suit with him is Murieann McDonnell. That pic was taken in Vegas, summer of 07. She's pretty tall so he's at least 5'10 barefoot. Rick says on 31/Dec/08
It does not look like the same girl. Emma is more curvy (hips especially) than the woman in the bathing suit. The facial features look different and the height difference is more than Colon's boots could create with the first woman. RisingForce says on 27/Dec/08
Thank you Lmeister. Hopefully someone can find out how tall she is. Lmeister says on 24/Dec/08
Christmas greetings from the land of Santa :) I think the lady with Colin is Emma Forrest. Funny that in shoes the height difference seems to be larger Click Here RisingForce says on 24/Dec/08
Who is this with him?

He's an inch or an inch and a half taller than her. Hopefully someone knows who she is and how tall she is. glenn says on 23/Dec/08
i agree james.but most likely 5-11.for me that is. glenn says on 21/Dec/08
good eye ed! i just met viggo for the first time last week.seemed 5-11.but he has dress boots on that were slightly suspect.extremely possible they were normal.possible he is 5-10. Ed(1) says on 20/Dec/08
I could see Colin as closing in on 5ft11, maybe around 5ft10.5. He's got that similarly deceiving look like Daniel Craig and Viggo Mortensen, both guys listed at 5ft11 but can appear shorter. In Minority Report he was still taller then Tom Cruise who was wearing his usual lifts and was probably hitting 5ft10+.
I'm with you Glenn! glenn says on 19/Dec/08
well him living in my city and me bumping into him alot and getting two pics with him,one showing he is 5-11 like i claim is not me opinion.thats fact that i always bring to the site thats ignored. Neon Genesis says on 18/Dec/08
That's like, only your opinion, RisingForce. RisingForce says on 17/Dec/08
How the hell can you guess down to the exact quarter inch? Colin isn't under 5-10. Neon Genesis says on 15/Dec/08
5' 9¼" (176 cm) barefoot, 5' 10" (178 cm) in normal shoes RisingForce says on 12/Dec/08
Craig can give illusions of 6 foot as Glenn's friends have said and he looked 5-11 to person in Glenn so that makes sense. DMEYER says on 11/Dec/08
he looked 5 ft 9.5 in person but could 5 ft 10 maybe his posture made him look shorter RisingForce says on 10/Dec/08
Years ago there were rumors about Mel Gibson being James Bond before Brosnan ended up as James Bond. Mel is probably shorter than Daniel Craig or Colin Farrell. RisingForce says on 9/Dec/08
Some interesting stuff
"Needless to say, when he walked in the door, the room suddenly started pulsing. He is taller than I expected. Not tall tall but not wee. A solid 5 ft 10."
Click Here
Roger Moore's son said Colin is too short to play James Bond. Although many said the same about Daniel Craig(listed 5'10.25" here).
Click Here
I thought they said 5-10 for Colin in The Recruit with Pacino as well though.
Most online listings have him at 5-10 but he also gets listed as 5-9 and 5-11. I don't think he's a hair under 5-10 but as of now I think more 5-10 than 5-11. If he says 5-11 and looks 5-11 to Glenn next time then I'll agree on 5-11 though. RisingForce says on 8/Dec/08
Glenn's right. Movie claims mean nothing. In the movie All The Right Moves Tom Cruise claimed to be 5-10! anonymous says on 6/Dec/08
I think it was the camera angle to make colin farrell and jamie foxx to be the same height. I'll live with 5 foot 10. glenn says on 3/Dec/08
what they state as a height in a movie means nothing.nothing.brad pitt is 5-8 as jesse james.owen wilson is 5-9 in another movie.and they said 5-9 in that movie with pacino.not 5-10. glenn says on 2/Dec/08
5-10.5 is the shortest ive seen him. RisingForce says on 1/Dec/08
That'll be good Glenn because we don't have a height claim from him. What's the shortest he's looked to you in person? Greg says on 1/Dec/08
The pic with Edward Norton is great and I think Colin is max. 5´9,5 and he´s towered by Edward Norton by 3 inch!!!!! glenn says on 30/Nov/08
i always thought he was 5-9 due to those pics.but in person he seems slightly above average.i hope he knows his own height if i do ask. RisingForce says on 30/Nov/08
I'm thinking maybe closer to 5'10", 5'10.5"
3.5" or 4" shorter than 6'2" Samuel L Jackson

3" or 3.5" shorter than LL Cool J(when considering his posture)

Next time you see him Glenn ask him how tall he is. If he says 5'11" and looks it again then I'll believe it. Otherwise I think he's a strong 5'10" or 5'10.5". He doesn't strike me as taller than 5'10.75" Sly MD says on 27/Nov/08

great find risingforce.more proof on my side. RisingForce says on 26/Nov/08
From a 2000 article in the Record about Colin
"He’s just short of 6 feet tall, slim, and for this interview, he’s got the requisite mussed hair and a few day’s growth of beard."
I don't think he's 5'11 1/2" or 5'11 3/4" like that quote suggests but he could easily be 5'11" flat. RisingForce says on 26/Nov/08
I don't know where the 5'9" stuff comes from for Colin. He's listed everywhere at 5'10" and a few places at 5'11". He looks in that range too. Tony says on 26/Nov/08
The Orig pic i saw with Collin and Glenn i Gave 5'9 to collin , people are in love with the mans looks skewing his height RisingForce says on 25/Nov/08
I'm not familiar with your pictures with Colin Glenn but others have said the same thing. Even Viper who seems to live for downgrading heights saw Colin looking like he could be 6 foot if he straightened up in your picture. glenn says on 25/Nov/08
no,not over.5-10.5 to 5-11,more on the 5-11. glenn says on 24/Nov/08
whats laughable is people ignoring when i come with the most solid proof ever-him standing next to me and he is clearly 5-11 next to me and im almost on my tip toes and he is hunching.i see 5-10ish in that leto pic.we cant see their feet. RisingForce says on 23/Nov/08
Compare him to Val Kilmer, Al Pacino and Jon Voight. He's 5'10"-5'11". Anonymous says on 22/Nov/08
I'm defintely not so sure about 5'10 minimum...

Leto: 5'8-5'9 max
I know a guy, legit 5'9, arm span of 180cm, so really doesn't make since to say he has to long of proportions to be a 5'9 guy especially when 5'10 would be a whopping 1 inch difference. Check out the pic of him and Leto.
But rising force, what you should think about, proportions aren't eveything, Pitt has short legs, mcconaughey has short arms, matt mcc's proportions definately don't add up if everyone's saying he's 5'11 3/4 cuz his arms look just about as long as that of a 5'7 guys. 5'9 is definately not laughable, maybe 5'7 for him would be laughable, to me 5'11 barefoot for him, is not only laughable...but hysterical! glenn says on 21/Nov/08
i agree james. RisingForce says on 20/Nov/08
Obviously in the 5'10"-5'11" range. He's no shorter. 5'9" is laughable, I've never seen a 5'9" man with proportions as long as Colin. glenn says on 19/Nov/08
mistaken to lower it i mean. glenn says on 19/Nov/08
was it up that high? if so,rob is mistaken.no disrespect. Anonymous says on 18/Nov/08
his height used to be 5.11 without doubt according to glenn now he is a full inch shorter, what happened to the other inch glenn??? mekia_22 says on 15/Nov/08
That's how I like them! Taller than me. 5'4 RisingForce says on 13/Nov/08
5'10" minimum. glenn says on 13/Nov/08
whahhahaha,you never met him or celebrity. anonymous says on 12/Nov/08
In miami vice he was maybe half an inch taller than 5 foot 9 jamie fox. 177cm seems right for colin farrell even though i thought he was taller. 5 foot 10 seems possible. RisingForce says on 11/Nov/08
What do you base that on Anonymous? 5'8.5" is ridiculous for Colin. glenn says on 5/Nov/08

Here everyone, a little present :)
Colin with 5'9 MAX Jared Leto! Sarah says on 4/Nov/08
I'm gonna have to side with Glenn on this one. I thought he was 5'8-5'9 for a long time till I saw him on Ellen the other day (who's 5'7) and with his boots he looked 6'1 next to her so he can't be anything less then 5'10 and most likely he's 5'10.5+
Check out -> Click Here & Fast forward to 2:32 right before he makes out with Ellen! Bad Radio says on 30/Oct/08
I think he's 5'9 max...when ever you see pictures of this guy he is always the shortest guy in them. glenn says on 29/Oct/08
i wouldnt be surprised if fox was 5-9.25,5-9.5. Leung says on 27/Oct/08
Jamie Fox is a solid 5’9”, I don’t know why people say 5’8” glenn says on 27/Oct/08
i can agree with that risingforce as possible. RisingForce says on 27/Oct/08
I can easily buy 5'10.5" for Colin. I'm not yet convinced he's a full 5'11" but he does seem like a guy taller than 5'10" flat to me.
Compare the difference between Colin and Angelina Jolie to the difference between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Click Here
When you factor in posture, that's atleast a 4" difference. Colin is in big 2" boots but Jolie is in heels. Maybe Jolie is just under 5'7" as she's listed here and Colin is 5'10.5"?
Complex, there are also plenty of pictures that show Colin taller than Jamie. I will say that Colin does usually look 5'9.5" max with Jamie but he also looks 5'11" a lot of the time. glenn says on 27/Oct/08
he was 5-11 in moccasins when i saw him the first time.foxx is 5-9ish.maybe,maybe 5-10.i never saw him,but he is at least 5-9ish. Complex says on 26/Oct/08

Colin w/Jamie Foxx (5'9 although alot think he's a flat 5'8 or 5'8.5), Check out eye levels and subtract Farrell's huge spiked up hair. I'm leaning towards 5'8.5-5'9 for Farrell! Vibram says on 23/Oct/08
Check gettyimages... type in this: "Farrell, Gleeson". Editoral image number #80600582 - 18 Jan 2008. You'll see that 6ft2 Brendan Gleeson (6ft1.5 listing here) towers him by well over 4 inches, more like 5, making Farrell more in the 5ft9 (175cm) range and not 5ft10 (178cm). A big, old fat man like Gleeson wouldn't wear lifts, Farrell might, so we have to take that into account as well.
Thus I think Colin is in all reality a 5ft9.25 guy at absolute most (176cm) and def. a lift wearer. 5ft9.25 + 1.5" soles + 1.25" inserts = 6ft (183cm); which he can look in premiers etc. RisingForce says on 20/Oct/08
That's true James. Most of the time they aren't good when the angle is odd and you don't know what's in the actors shoes. Only when they're barefoot, in flat Converse, slippers or sandals and the angle is good can you really use that. The Horse of FUNK says on 20/Oct/08
Actually in the Bridget Moynahan pics she looks taller by at least an inch or more. If she's wearing 3 or 4 inch heels then that puts him comfortably in the 5'10"-5'10.5" range. Colin is probably close to 5'11" out of bed. He's probably 5'10" and flirts with 5'10.5", but doesn't feel it's enough to claim a full and steady 5'10.5". 5'10.25" suits him best. RisingForce says on 20/Oct/08
Then one has to ask the question, how come Colin looks so tall compared to Katie, but didn't tower by much Tom Cruise in Minority Report and Tom is shorter than Katie? I'm gonna go with Colin's suspicious footwear.
Tom also could have worn lifts. He wore lifts next to Pitt in that movie they did and looked barely shorter. Mickey says on 19/Oct/08
Good pics there RF. The one with Katie Holmes is preplexing. He is wearing those MASSIVE cowboy boots with the 2 inch visable heel you posted a while ago though(where he is on the couch, legs crossed over). I dont really see a pavement advantage either. This is probably the only picture i've seen him look 6ft(in shoes). Either Katie isn't 5'9" or Colin is packing massive lifts in his already huge cowboy boots. Or maybe both. Or maybe he is 5'11" but i doubt it in my opinion.

Looks 5'11" or taller with Bruce Willis

I give Bruce 5'11 3/4" and Colin is about the same height in the first picture and not much shorter in the second. However you hear anything from 5-11 to 6-1, that being said he isn't under 5-10 in either picture so depending on which height you believe for Bruce he's still easily looking his listing here.
Colin seems about the same height as 6 foot Val Kilmer and he seems convincingly taller than 5-7ish Angelina Jolie in heels

So as you can see 5'11" is very possible for Colin. He is one the trickiest on the site though as he can look anywhere from 5'9" to 6'0". While he wears really big heeled boots at times he often slouches as well which can take away as much height as big heeled footwear gives.
With 5'6ish Al Pacino(in suspicious footwear) and 5'9.5" Bridget Moynahan in heels

Colin looks atleast 5'11" again, if not more. Pacino is struggling to not look like a dwarf there and not succeeding! Being taller than a thin 5'9.5" woman in heels is also pretty good proof he's atleast 5'10", maybe taller. The Horse of FUNK says on 17/Oct/08
Cheeses, he's wearing boots in virtually every pic. He's sporting some heels in the Katie Holmes pic. Colin might be a strong 5'10", like 5'10.25". I dunno, this guy is tricky.
Btw, Holmes is more 5'8" than 5'9". |
