Adz, hahah, well I suppose I'm not sure who killed the page, but I thought that I probably did. I tend to ramble way too much and maybe that puts people off at times. Anyhow I've changed my tune a bit on Craig's height. I now don't see him being in the 5'10" range anymore. I got very confused for a while, because with 5'10.5" listed Diddy he looks like he might be near to 6'0", but then with 5'6" listed Fearne he doesn't even appear 5'11". So, it's a bit weird. However, it's probably true that we're more sure of Diddy's 5'10.5" (because of the images on Getty) than we are of Fearne's 5'6", so for that reason, I no longer think he's the 5'10.5" I previously estimated him at. I still don't think he's 6'0", but I wouldn't rule out this 5'11.5" listing. For now though, I'm going with 5'11.25" (181cm) for Craig. adz says on 1/Aug/11
Just seen what Rob mentioned on Getty. If Diddy is 5ft 10.5 then Craig definelty deserves 182cm possibly a upgrade to 6ft.
I don't think you killed the page Button. I think Shaun did. Button says on 21/Jul/11
Looks like I killed the page. Button says on 26/Jun/11
Hi Rob. Well that's very interesting about Craig and P. Diddy. I see the picture of the two of them, and indeed Craig looks a solid inch above Diddy, if not 1.25 inches. I notice the picture was from 2002? It's so weird because I look back at pictures of Craig from around that time, early on in his music career, and think he looked noticeably taller then than he does now. I always reckoned he looked a good 6'0" in past pictures of him, or at least very close to it, as this listing here also suggests. Nowadays though, he just looks shorter to me. I suppose that sounds insane as there's no way he should have shrunk in the last decade, but he really looks a lot taller back then than he does now. Or maybe it's just me? Who knows? Actually overall he looks really different now compared to how he used to look back then, I think it's because he's more muscular. That might be making me think he seems shorter. I don't know. It's most peculiar though.
Anyway, I would have to concede that if Diddy is indeed the 5'10.5" as listed on this site (he certainly looks pretty close to that next to 5'8" Kanye West) then Craig cannot be less than 5'11". Wow, I'm so confused now. Well, in my last post I said I believed 5'10" and 5'11" were both equally as unlikely for him. I never thought 5'10" flat was likely at all (still don't) but I must say that 5'11" now seems a fair possibility. Pictures seriously contradict one another sometimes. I mean, in that big picture with Fearne there is no way he looks 5'11.5", but then if Diddy really is 5'10.5" it won't be denied that Craig looks at least a strong inch taller, putting him at 5'11.5". But I still think we should take the Fearne picture into consideration. Maybe just a bit of downgrade to 5'11.25" (181cm) or 5'11" (180cm) would be the best thing? I'm really not too sure to be honest. The contradictory pictures are messing with my head. I'll wait and see what decision you make here. Button says on 25/Jun/11
Wow Shaun, plenty of posts from you here on this page. But I have to admit, I've been like that on the Nicole Richie page, although trying to give her an upgrade rather than a downgrade. It's quite frustrating when you feel really sure you're correct, but other people come along and have conflicting views, and you feel as if there's no way of convincing them, or if the downgrade (or upgrade) just does not happen, when you're doing all you can to prove it should happen. I don't see any problem with the amount of posts you've done by the way. I see you're trying to prove a point and make a downgrade happen, and make the website more accurate in the process. I share your view in that I want this to be the most accurate as possible height website, and I would also post multiple times to try and get the upgrade or downgrade to occur. I don't see very much wrong with that. Especially as I agree with the comments you've made on this page.
Regarding Craig David, I agree with you here. He doesn't look as high as 5'11.5" to me either. I also agree he really doesn't appear as much as 5.5 inches taller than Fearne Cotton. No way. Fearne is listed 5'6", and she does look around that to me. In that large picture you posted I can see about a 4.5 inch difference in height, but his shoes do have a thicker sole than Fearne's. However, his posture isn't great, so this probably cancels out his footwear advantage, as you said (I was thinking the very same thing even before I read your comment). Based on this picture and others I've seen too I think 5'10.5" is his most likely height. I do think 5'10" or 5'11" are still potentially possible, just not as likely. 5'11.5" does seem impossible to me and I would rule that out entirely. Somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11" seems right to me. As I said, I would go with 5'10.5" (179cm). A downgrade is really in order I think. Hopefully it will happen soon.
[Editor Rob: there is a counterpoint to five ten. On getty look at craig with diddy, then search diddy nfl and you seediddy beside 2 measured players of five ten] Shaun says on 24/Jun/11
Why, because he's listed at 185cm? Shaun says on 22/Jun/11
Rob are you going to look into this?
[Editor Rob: I can see him looking 5ft 10 with loose posture, but I would be surprised if he was that low. ] Phil says on 21/Jun/11
I take my comment back. He is 5 foot 10. Shaun says on 20/Jun/11
@MD. Well admittedly I didn't realise I posted that many times yesterday but when I believe Rob has something wrong I try to prove otherwise. It looks a bit obsessive when I really couldn't care about David's exact height, I just want this site to be as accruate as possible. I really hope Rob will look into this when he has time later in the week. MD says on 19/Jun/11
Shaun,
STOP spamming this page. You literally have 10 or 11 posts in a single day on one page. Not only is a clutter, it's creepy. If you can compose your thoughts into a few key posts, stop posting. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
I bet David is the sort of guy who claims to be 6'1" or 6'2" or something. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
Well he looks about 3 inches taller than Moyles and maybe 4.5" inches taller than Fearne Cotton, maybe his footwear advantage is cancelled out by loose posture. Maybe 5'10.5" but for sure he isn't 5'11.5" range. I would say 5'10.5" and just attribute the fact he slouches and is relaxed in posture a lot which could account for him often looking 5'9.5"-5'10". I'd put him at 179cm personally. But to me he does not look above 5'11" in sneakers. But I know a 5'10" range guy when I see one and I'm convinced he is 5'10-5'10.5" barefoot. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Another with Moyles. How could a legit 5'11.5" guy slouch that much in comparison to a 5'7" er!!! Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
I'm pretty sure based on the comparison I've highlighted you can't argue this guy is anything above 5'10.5". You should be able to get a rough estimate based on the white floor pic with Fearne Cotton. If you use your height chart comparison, accounting for footwear I seriously doubt you'll find him to be a strong 5'11"er. I'm pretty sure he's 5'10" range, 5'10.5" max. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Another one, you'll have to boost the zoom though. Looks about 3 inches taller than Chris Moyles who I have as 5'7" flat. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Heres the best photo for height comparison. Fearne Cotton is 5'6" I think and in flats. David looks about 4 inches taller to me, what do you think Rob?
[Editor Rob: in the photo he could be between 4 and 5 taller] Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Pause at 5:06. He doesn't look much taller than 5'6" Fearne Cotton whose probably in heels on the first night. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
If he measured 5'11.5" barefoot he'd be almost 6'1" in thick soled sneakers. If you watch the Feanre Cotton video does that man look anywhere near 6'1" in sneakers? Its madness. He looks bang on average height to me 5'9.5"-5'10" tops. He doesn't even look 5'11.52 in these sneakers does he if you really look at his proportions he's not above average height. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Here's more evidence. Pause at 1:13. In fact watch it all the way through. Does he really look like he has near 6' inches on 5'6" Fearne Cotton? She's wearing flat sandals and David is wearing sneakers. Barely looks more than 3 inches taller. I'm telling you this guy seriously is no more than 5'10". Can you at least consider the sources I've showed you Rob and consider a downgrade, there's no way he's 6' range. I rarely go out of my way to try to prove something unless it looks an obvious error.

Pause at 3:55. Picture quality is poor but the stage is even obviously and is a good indicator. Bieber is 5'4.5". David looks about 5'10" ish? Excluding the cap Bieber is just underneath David's eye level. Say 4 inches from eyes to top of head. He's roughly 5 inches taller than Bieber. I'd put him at 5'10" max. Plus the Hay pics indicate he is nearer 5'10" than 6' surely? Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

I would based on all of the comparisons I've seen 5'10" looks more accurate. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11

Rob do you honestly think he looks near 6' next to 5'4.5" Justin Bieber? He is slouching but he just looks no more than 5'10" to me. Viper and co remark about Damon's being the worst listing but I think this is one of them. Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
About four inches on 5'6" Fearne Cotton too in their Miami interview, both wearing sneakers. This man is 5'10"!!! Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
James see how Joe Calzaghe compares to Haye. Now look at Craig David. Do you only see ha;f an inch difference? Calzaghe looks a good 2 inches taller than Craig David who looks no more than 5'10" seriously. Rob you have this wrong. How can he possibly be only half an inch shorter than Joe Calzaghe?? The comparison to David Haye is obvious.
[Editor Rob: yeah he can look shorter, I can take a look at him soon and see if I agree he is an inch shorter.] James says on 10/Jun/11
actually i think he is a legit 5'11 (180cm) but no more. James says on 3/Jun/11
6'2 if he stood on a pile of books Phil says on 30/May/11
I agree with you kathryn. I think he is 5 foot 11 or 6 foot 0 James says on 29/May/11
I agree Shaun he loooks 5'9.5 compared to Haye. Maybe 5'11.5 in a pair of robert downey jr's elevators. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/May/11
5ft11 is closer...mega lmfao at 6ft2 Shaun says on 20/Apr/11
5'11.5" seriously Rob is a joke. Everything about his body screams 5'10 ish Shaun says on 24/Mar/11
In fact I'd estimate him at 5'9.5" based on the Haye pics. Shaun says on 24/Mar/11
Used to think he was pretty tall for some reason. However see Click Here He's struggling with 5'10". Rob check out the pics with David Haye, he needs a downgrade. anon says on 23/Mar/11
He does not look this tall next to David Haye, who I don't even think reaches 6'3''.
