Colin Firth Height
Colin Firth height: 6 ft 1.5 in (187 cm)

Many people don't imagine English actor Firth as being tall, maybe because he isn't totally slim. But when you compare him beside 5ft 11er Hugh Grant there is 2 inches difference. In his own words [I think he's rounding up a tad here ;) ] : "Funnily enough, I don’t usually feel like the short one — I’m 6ft 2 in and it’s not often I’m looking up to someone and feeling like the little guy. But I swear Rupert’s [everett] grown in 18 years". She magazine says on meeting him, "Colin Firth is well over 6ft and makes you feel like Tinkerbell.. The Sunday Telegraph quote him: "I'm fortunate enough to be the height I am [six-foot-one-and-a-half, he says]"

But I do think he should have won that oscar!
Hugh 190-192cm says on 6/Mar/10
out of bed Firth could be 187cm though.
Hugh (191cm/252lbs) says on 18/Feb/10
Lenad I think Carrey could be more 6ft 1.5-6ft 2

It should be: Colin Firth 6 ft 1.25 in (186cm) and Jim Carrey 6 ft 1.75 in (187cm)
Lenad says on 16/Feb/10
Definitly not taller than Jim Carrey in photos. Probably if anything was a hair shorter. And Carrey might only be 186cm himself
Christian says on 21/Jan/10
The comment section of this site is bizarre. Hugh made easily 95% of all comments on this site and is saying the same all the time. Rob, did you delete some comments or is Hugh really monologizing?

[Editor Rob: maybe hugh is more interested in the height of firth than other celebs]
Hugh 190-192cm says on 20/Jan/10
Solid 6"1 no more or less
Hugh 190-192cm says on 6/Jan/10
Looks 184-185cm next to Hoult.
Jake says on 6/Jan/10
he looks like 185-186 cm next to Nicholas Hoult
Hugh 190-192cm says on 29/Dec/09
186cm max. I think 6"1 flat is closer. I also think Brosnan should be given 187cm as he looked slightly taller than Firth at the premiere of Mamma Mia
Lenad says on 28/Dec/09
186cm is more accurate
Lenad says on 28/Dec/09
He looked the same height as Jim Carrey when Carrey had poorer posture. There is no way in hell Firth is over Rob's listing
Hugh 191cm says on 25/Nov/09
6ft 1in min and 6ft 1.5in max.
Hugh 191cm says on 22/Nov/09
Colin Frth: 6 ft 1.25 in (186cm)

Pierce Brosnan: 6 ft 1.75 in (187cm)
Hugh 190cm says on 20/Nov/09
Firth is 185-186cm, Brosnan is 187-188cm, Hoult is 188-189cm.
Hugh 190cm says on 20/Nov/09
Could not agree with you more, Shaun. 185cm Rob
Shaun says on 18/Nov/09
Mamma Mia premiere pics Brosnan looks at least an inch taller and is wearing flat shoes while Firth has clumpier footwear and still looks shorter. Rob you might want to look into this as there is no way Firth is taller.
Shaun says on 18/Nov/09
Brosnan is around an inch taller. Firth 185m and Brosnan 187cm seems about right.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Nov/09
Firth looks 6ft0.5 next to Hoult.
Hugh 191cm says on 12/Nov/09
Actually no he's near enough to 6ft2. 186cm
Hugh 191cm says on 11/Nov/09
Looks barely 6ft beside Hoult. Proves he's nowhere near 6ft2.
Moke says on 7/Nov/09
How`s this dude supposed to be 6 ft. 1.5 when Nicholas Hoult (6`2..?) has like 1 inch on him? Click Here
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Nov/09
Thank you mick
Mick says on 1/Nov/09
Maybe a downgrade to 186cm would be good.
Hugh 191cm says on 25/Oct/09
185-186cm
Hugh 191cm says on 21/Oct/09
A solid 6ft1. No taller
Hugh 191cm says on 15/Oct/09
more 186cm to my eye.
Xdan says on 13/Oct/09
I saw him very nearly in Genova, Italy, and, in my opinion, the tall of 187 cm is accurate, 'cause I'm 180 cm and he was about two inches over me.
Hugh 191cm says on 8/Oct/09
185cm/6ft1 for Firth and 187-188cm for Brosnan.
Hugh 191cm says on 3/Oct/09
185cm minimum and 187cm max.
Hugh 191cm says on 1/Oct/09
Shorter than both brosnan and jim carrey who are both a shade under the 6ft2 mark so 186cm should be accurate.
Hugh 191cm says on 30/Sep/09
6 ft 1.25 in (186cm)
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Sep/09
186cm max.
Hugh 191cm says on 23/Sep/09
186cm.
Hugh 191cm says on 5/Sep/09
Sorry gonzalo but I saw brosnan as the taller of the 2.
Gonzalo says on 31/Aug/09
I disagree with Hugh. Firth looked taller than Brosnan in Mamma mia
Hugh 191cm says on 12/Aug/09
other way around. Brosnan has 2cm on Colin.
yoyo says on 9/Aug/09
Colin looks a cool 2cm on Brosnan. Colin quite a solid 6ft1 guy. 185 ~ 186 sounds better for him
Hugh 191cm says on 10/Jul/09
Please downgrade.
Hugh 191cm says on 7/Jul/09
A 'fake' 6ft2.
Hugh 190cm says on 29/Jun/09
186cm MAX. Maybe 187cm in the Morning.
Hugh 190cm says on 25/Jun/09
He's 186cm. No taller.
g says on 24/Jun/09
Colin Firth is well over 6ft and makes you feel like Tinkerbell..

maybe a woman from 5ft 7 have said that. So that doesn't say that much, a guy from 6ft would also really tower over a woman with that height.
Hugh 190cm says on 8/Jun/09
Lenad, Pierce Brosnan was taller than him in Mamma Mia. I'd say 6ft1-6ft1.5 max for this guy. Maybe 187cm. But no taller than that. What movie was Firth in with Carrey?
Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
A strong 6'1 possibly a weak 6'2. He looks the same height as Jim Carrey
Anonymous says on 8/May/09
Everett looks more like a 6ft3 guy in that picture. But Firth is no taller than the height he's listed at.
Paul says on 23/Apr/09
I say that's about right. In the pic below he seems to be wearing shoes that give more height than Rupert Everett while Everett doesn't seem to be standing up straight.

Hugh 190cm says on 8/Apr/09
This guy I'm not sure is quite 187cm.
Hugh 190cm says on 6/Apr/09
Okay this is everyone who I think should be downgraded and upgraded.

Downgraded:Colin Firth, Harold Ramis, Alec Baldwin, Tony Hadley, Julian Glover, Barack Obama, Laurence Fishburne, Peter Stormare, James Cameron, Bill Paxton, George Peppard, Kirk Benedict and Johnathan Ross.

Upgraded: Dominic Purcell, Pierce Brosnan, Kevin Costner (peak), Richard Harris (peak), Wentworth Miller, Sean Connery (peak), Alan Alda (peak), Hugh Jackman, Josh Holloway, John Malkovich, Billy Zane, Dan Aykroyd, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Murray, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, George Clooney, Hugh Grant, John Goodman and James Cosmo.

Rob, anybody state your opinion on what you think about my suggestions or even better state your own. Your choice.
Hugh 190cm says on 6/Apr/09
Well Firth doesn't look his claimed height next to 186cm listed Pierce Brosnan. But I personally beleive Brosnan stands 6ft1.75.
Mr. R says on 3/Apr/09
He is listed at 6-1.5 in the May 2001 issue of People.
Hugh 190cm says on 27/Mar/09
Thank you Doug. Brosnan always looks taller than Firth.
Doug says on 23/Mar/09
I agree with Hugh Firth is 6ft1.25 and Brosnan is 6ft1.75. Brosnan always looks very close to 6'2" in all honesty.
Ali says on 18/Mar/09
I stood next to Colin Firth last week in London, when he gave a Q&A at the Curzon cinema after his new film 'Genova'. He is 6'1". I really scrutinised him because my husband is 6'2" so I know how it feels when I'm looking up at someone. He was only slightly shorter than my husband. I was suprised that he had a slim build, not at all "beefy". He seemed very nice, posed for lots of pics and signed loads of autographs. Very low-key. Many people walked past him in the street and didn't even notice him. Not at all starry
\_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 3/Mar/09
Firth simply doesn't look his claimed height.
\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 18/Feb/09
Okay this what I really think. Brosnan, Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, David Boreanaz, Kevin Costner and even Billy Zane are all taller than this guy. Why do I say this. Because I personally think Colin Firth is no taller than 6ft1 flat. There I said it. I want my opinion heard. Thank you.
\\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 18/Feb/09
true. But Brosnan is a tad closer to the 6ft2 mark than Firth. I'd say Firth is 187cm and Brosnan 187.5cm.
Hugh says on 6/Feb/09
I agree Lenad. Brosnan was slightly taller than him.
Lenad says on 5/Feb/09
A solid 6ft1
Hugh says on 1/Feb/09
Well he doesn't appear over 6ft1 next to Pierce Brosnan. I'd say Firth is 6ft1.25 and Brosnan is 6ft1.75.
Hugh says on 18/Jan/09
I disagree James. He looked quite wiry when he was younger. You might be confusing him with say Chris Noth or maybe Billy Zane. They have tall builds. He doesn't come across as very imposing. He looked short next to Liam Neeson.
Hugh says on 9/Jan/09
Yeah he's no less than 6ft1. But I'm not sure if he's 187cm.
Lenad says on 8/Jan/09
Hes listed at 6'1 on a few sites
Chris says on 7/Jan/09
I've stood next to him and he is definitely at least 6ft1.
Hugh says on 3/Jan/09
I'm really getting skeptical about this guy actually being 187cm. In Mamma Mia he looks 6ft1 tops, likewise in Bridget Jones 2. He looked no taller than 6ft1 listed Alan Rickman in Love Actually, Looked short next to Liam Neeson.
Hugh says on 26/Dec/08
I would've thought Pierce was thinner. Colin looks quite beefy. I'd say Pierce is taller though.
Hugh says on 14/Dec/08
That sounds fair James. I still think he's taller than Firth.
Hugh says on 13/Dec/08
No more than 187cm. Probably 186cm though.
Hugh says on 10/Dec/08
Do you think taht in the morning Brosnan could be 6ft2 or close?
Hugh says on 10/Dec/08
That sounds fair James. What about 185-186cm for Firth?
Hugh says on 9/Dec/08
Okay maybe not now. I think just 6ft1.5 now. I think he could be a little taller than Firth and Strong.
Hugh says on 7/Dec/08
Mark Strong 6ft1.5
Colin Firth 6ft1.25
Pierce Brosnan 6ft1.75
Hugh says on 4/Dec/08
Mark Strong who is listed here as 6ft1 was taller than Colin in that movie.
Hugh says on 30/Nov/08
Looks no more than 186cm.
Hugh says on 25/Nov/08
Razz you're right. But I really think he's under 6ft1. But I don't think he's 6ft1.5 either. Perhaps 6ft1.25.
Razz says on 24/Nov/08
He seems about 6'0 to 6'1 here next to uma, who seems to be slouching: Click Here
Hugh says on 21/Oct/08
Oh and Viper I'm suprised that you think every celeb on this site is like 5 inches shorter than their listed lol.
Hugh says on 20/Oct/08
Never looked in a million years looked 6ft3!
Ange says on 19/Oct/08
Whoa, I would've put him up there with the 6'3 crowd. In "Love Actually" he seemed as tall as Neeson (can't remember if they had any scenes together). That said, the listed height seems accurate.
Hugh says on 16/Oct/08
'ish' means maybe a tad less. Anyway Firth doesn't look 6ft1.5 next to Brosnan.
Hugh says on 13/Oct/08
No 187cm is 6ft1.5 and 6ft1ish is like almost 6ft1. 6ft0.75 is 6ft1ish. Weak 6ft1.
Hugh says on 11/Oct/08
Next to Pierce he's not looking 187cm. More 6ft1ish.
Hugh says on 5/Oct/08
This guy 186cm tops.
Hugh says on 13/Sep/08
Ok James but no taller than that.
Hugh says on 8/Sep/08
He's 186cm.
Hugh says on 30/Aug/08
No. I've already stated that.
Hugh says on 28/Aug/08
Colin can look 6ft2 which is strange. He always gets described as 6ft1 or 6ft1.5. But I know for a fact he is not 6ft2.
Hugh says on 28/Aug/08
Colin isn't quite that tall James. Never met the guy but I can tell. Evidence is in BJ's diary.
Hugh says on 28/Aug/08
Fine James, But then Brosnan is 6ft1.75.
Hugh says on 26/Aug/08
6ft1.25 tops.
Hugh says on 17/Jul/08
Valerie pierce had this guy by at least an inch. 'way taller' lol.
Valerie says on 16/Jul/08
I don't know what version of Mamma Mia you watched Hugh but Colin was way taller than Pierce.
Hugh says on 4/Jul/08
watched mamma mia yesterday. Firth appeared no taller than pierce brosnan (listed 6ft1.25). Either Firth should be downgraded or Brosnan should be upgraded.
Hugh says on 29/Apr/08
He's tall but he's not 6ft2 rnage.
Anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
This man is definitely tall. I watched Briget Jones this evening and Renee Zellweger only came a but above his shoulder even in heels. She is reportedly around 5'4..so he must be at LEAST 6 foot.
Gonzalo says on 27/Aug/07
In an interview in spanish newspaper ABC last Friday he said he is 1`87.
Cathy says on 24/Feb/07
When I saw him in Pride and Prejudice, I thought he looked only 5 foot 10 or 11! Thanks for the info.
CelebHeights Editor says on 3/Dec/05
From Daily Mail, Dec 2005: "In the flesh he is impressively tall, standing 6ft 2in"
l0ck n l0ad says on 17/Nov/05
funny! having watched bridget's diary and another movie he starred in i thought the guy was in the 6'3 - 6'4 range he actually did look tall there... oh well if he admits himself to be 6'1.5 i guess seems reasonable imho...
