Lookes exactly the same as Jamie Foxx in Miami Vice, both 5' 9" id say or not very far off...

Brad says on 2/Mar/10
Mocassins were a joke, like NYC Sly sandals. He was in 2.5's and owned a guy maybe 5' 6.5"

josh says on 2/Mar/10
who cares if he is listed 5'10 or 5'11 he is 5'9.5.

Shawn says on 2/Mar/10
To inflate his own BS height of 5'8".

ACG says on 1/Mar/10
RisingForce, when was he ever "officially" listed as 5'10? I don't think his publicists ever claimed that height for him- or any height, for that matter. I know he is frequently listed as 5'10 on the internet, but that doesn't make it true.

Rising, tell me why Glenn would swear up and down that Colin is 5'11" after multiple encounters, at least one of which with Colin in flat MOCCASINS- not those crazy boots you speak of.

Anonymous says on 26/Feb/10
farrell at 5'11" is a JOKE.

RisingForce says on 26/Feb/10
5'9"-5'9.5", always wears boots, sometimes with 2.5" heels(and god knows what inside).

ACG, if he's 5'11" then why is he listed at 5'10" officially? A 5'11" man would almost certainly be listed at 6 ft by his publicists, not an inch shorter than he is.

josh says on 26/Feb/10
lmao never 5'11.

ACG says on 25/Feb/10
Farrell is 5'11.

between 175 to 178cm thats for sure

Anonymous says on 4/Feb/10
5'9" indeed.

RisingForce says on 2/Feb/10
Definitely not a legit 5'10", IMO. Looks more 5-9ish with legit 5 ft9ers like McGregor and Foxx, and look at the massive heels with Carson Daly. Even assuming he's not in lifts there, a legit 5-10 shouldn't look that short in heels next to Daly.

5'9.5" is accurate. I'm surprised Rob hasn't downgraded him just about everyone here agreeing he's in the 5'9" range.

burby says on 29/Jan/10
Look at him next to Foxx, 5'9".

marcus says on 29/Jan/10
he's 5'10"

DMEYER says on 26/Jan/10
i met colin we both had 1.1 in shoes he seemed close to 5 ft 10 5 ft9.75 is arguable strong 177

josh says on 26/Jan/10
frank2 didn't even know his own height.in all the other threads he would say 5'11 but in the paul newman page he said he was just under 5'11 so people stop talking about frank and glenn please.

Brad says on 26/Jan/10
5 feet 9. The photo with G was enough for me. He said 5' 11". That's the kind of material Shecky Green could use on his next Vegas run. F2 was in tears.

RisingForce says on 25/Jan/10
If anything Frank2 seemed to imply Farrell was a weak 5'9".

Frank2 says on 17/Jun/09
If I had to venture a guess I'd say he around 5'8.5". Maybe 5'9" but no way is he 5'10".

josh says on 14/Jan/10
5'9.5 would be more accurate for colin.

Rob G says on 13/Jan/10
Same height or tiny bit taller than Foxx, 5'9" - 5'9.5" it is.

Dural says on 13/Jan/10
We have Frank2 who says 5'9", Mr. R and DMEYER say 5'9.5". If I had to venture a guess I would say 176cm. Most of the time wears big heeled boots so appears taller.

RisingForce says on 11/Jan/10
Rob, do you now think 5'9.5" is more likely than 5'10"?

Stockyframe says on 9/Jan/10
Looks 5'9, 5'10 with shoes.

DMEYER says on 4/Jan/10
in person seemed 5 ft 9.5 possibly 5 ft 9.75

RisingForce says on 28/Dec/09
So would you say my 5'9.5" estimate if correct, Mr. R?

Mr. R says on 27/Dec/09
Usually listed at 5-10, but I saw him after the Oscars and he is a little less.

RisingForce says on 24/Dec/09
I agree, a slight downgrade would be good. 5'9"-5'9.5" range. Most likely 5'9.5" IMO. The boots can make him look 5'10"-5'11".

PK says on 12/Dec/09
Time to downgrade him, Rob

mcfan says on 7/Dec/09
Surprised to see Farrell still listed at 5'10. He sure only looks 5'9 at the most. He barely looks over 5'10 in cowboy boots.

Rob G says on 7/Dec/09
Same height as Jamie Foxx, and Foxx ain't 5'1O". Solid 5'9" for Farrell is closer to the truth.

RisingForce says on 7/Dec/09
Look on Gettyimages there are some pictures of Colin and Peter Gallagher(listed at 5'9" here) and they're both barefoot. The pictures aren't great, but Colin clearly looks taller in every one of them.

save says on 30/Nov/09
he's 5'10 like this site says, and nothing below.. perhaps 5'9.5 at night

Anonymous says on 28/Nov/09
Nonsensical is 2 people fighting about which height is better to use, morning or night. Does it REALLY MATTER!!??? who cares! There is no wrong or right in claiming either one of the two.

Tex says on 19/Nov/09
I'd say 5-9 for Colin.

burby says on 18/Nov/09
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.

Rising is a funny guy......

Brad says on 18/Nov/09
Look at him with a 5' 6.5" G. The G.

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.

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.

definitely not 5 ft 10.

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".

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.

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?

5'9.5" is another Rising inflate, he's 5'9" flat like Foxx.

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.

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".

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.

Subtract half an inch and you've got his height.

Yeah those are some serious man heels!

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

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.

If Colin Farrell is 5'9 as Frank2 has mentioned, then that puts Norton at a weak 6 foot or a strong 5'11.

Frank2, forget about your dodgy photos with bad angles, how on earth do you perceive Cryer as being 1 inch taller than Scheen? Watching Two and Half Men it is blatantly obvious that Scheen is the slightly taller of the two.
5’9” for Scheen is accurate.

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.

I guess it doesn't really really matter how tall you are in being a sex symbol as long as you can act and have a big dong.

Frank2 says on 5/Jun/09
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
5ft10.5 possibly.

Shakers says on 7/May/09
Farrell - 176cm. 178-179 - Effect of the tousled hair

RisingForce says on 20/Apr/09
Colin measures up well to 6 foot Val Kilmer considering they're both wearing boots. Click Here

He does look 5-10.5, 5-11 there.

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).

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.

JD says on 21/Mar/09
5-10 flat seems perfect

RisingForce says on 20/Feb/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
He looks too short next to edward norton to be a 5'11 even a legit 5'10.

Joey Belair says on 9/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?

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.

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...

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).

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.

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 looks about 2, maybe 2 and a half inches shorter than 6-0ish Edward Norton.

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).

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

That's like, only your opinion, RisingForce.

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

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.

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I think he's 5'9 max...when ever you see pictures of this guy he is always the shortest guy in them.

Jamie Fox is a solid 5’9”, I don’t know why people say 5’8”

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.

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".

beatlefan says on 14/Oct/08
Colin always wears boots which makes me suspicious. He often wears cowboy boots with big heels too. When he was on Jonathan Ross he didn't look very tall when he was sat down especially in the torso area. Remember the fashion shoes/trainers these days add hardly any height at all so guys who wear big shoes stick out like a sore thumb.

Mickey says on 13/Oct/08
Yeah Colin's posture with Caan isn't the best, i noted that. But i still can't see a 5'11". Far from it in that. 5'10" absolute tops in my opinion, 5'9" minimum.

RisingForce says on 12/Oct/08
I think a strong 5'10" fits. A 5'10" guy could give illusions of 5'11" and 5'9".

Mickey says on 12/Oct/08
Click Here

Looks 2 inches taller than 5'5"(listed on this website) Scott Caan. Caan could be in lifts, but it is a cowboy movie and Colin most likely had some form of boots on too. Colin is slouching a bit but i still don't see 5'11", no chance really, in my opinion. A genuine 5'11" would've towered a 5'5" person. Could be 5'10 but i really think 5'9".

Looks slightly shorter then Ewan Mcgregor who is listed at 5'9.5" here. Colin's shoes look slightly bigger too.

In a movie he was refered to as 5.10. i believe it was in the recruit. he was being chased and the police officer was speaking through a walkie talkie and descibed him white male 5.10 so maybe this estimate was based on true (passport)facts and used in the movie

irish passports or driving licences don't have heights on them, i be irish myself

Jim_16 says on 12/Oct/08
@ RisingForce

but Rob has Clooney an inch shorter than what you say. And olivier martinez looks to be about the same height as Colin if he wasn't slouching yet he's described as a 5'8.5'' - 5'9'' guy. I am not quite buying the 5'10''claims for Farrell...

Colin is always described as 5'10" in articles so I think that may be the height he's claimed, plus he was described as 5'10" twice in The Recruit. He looks atleast 5'10" to me.

john duffy says on 10/Oct/08
ha ha. im irish been in farrells company before he became famous called he was 5,9 glen shot me down what happened there glen? he just got knocked an inch, actual 5,9 im 5,11 he was 2" shorter than me, (been in his company remember this fact before you say im wrong and also before he was famous) .............

RisingForce says on 10/Oct/08
He does look like he could be a 5'11" guy but I think his height was always given as 5'10" which makes me doubt that.

neishow says on 8/Oct/08
glen, i was reading all the past comments and you somehow seemed annoyed by the fact that people were going against your estimated height. i respect you, and i believe the estimates of the people u have met are normally accurrate. But i must say i met colin farrell in dublin this summer and he was exactly my height 5ft10. however its true i can sometimes look a a little taller in the morning or by posture which can put me in a 5'11 and that would kinda backup your estimation

ACG says on 7/Oct/08
James says on 5/Oct/08
So ACG do u think Colin Farrell could be 5ft10 1/2?


Easily, but more likely a full 5'11.

Anonymous says on 7/Oct/08
Which is ridiculous is to compare that unique case as an assumption like you are doing.Plus only a blind person cant see the big boots he (colin)wears all the time.It doesnt add up for him to be 5.11 and looking the same height as kilmer in boots. Thats mean he is not 5.11. is a no brainer.

dicky curtis says on 1/Oct/08
I think 5.10 about does it for him. he's definitly taller than tom cruise but no 5.11 i'd say. to me he also seems like a guy who would not lie about his height if he'd be asked about it. i think he'd be genuine in that aspect

No he's probably not 5'11", he's probably 5'10" like he's listed here. Big heeled shoes can make him appear taller. In 'The Recruit' he looks 5'10" next to Al Pacino who in 2003 was a weak 5'6" or possibly 5'5.5".

5'10" seems very accurate. Does anyone know what he's claimed for his height?
