188-189cm in shoes. Lenad says on 26/Jan/10
189cm with dress shoes Lenad says on 26/Jan/10
189cm with dress shoes probably. And Kate Hudson was likely 179cm with those heels in the pics filip says on 20/Jan/10
6"2 guy for me Lenad says on 2/Jan/10
I think he is a solid 186cm. 187cm out of bed most likely Hugh 190-192cm says on 31/Dec/09
I think he's a solid 6"1.5. 6"2 out of bed is likely Lenad says on 29/Dec/09
Daniel is most likely a solid 187cm out of bed. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of 188cm out of bed either. 189cm is pushing it john says on 27/Dec/09
@hugh- he's half irish half jewish, grew up in UK and i think he's 6-2. he's such a good actor & has so much presence that he looks 6-6 as bill the butcher Mr. R says on 27/Dec/09
Sometimes listed at 6-2. fabiano says on 6/Nov/09
A strong 6ft2inch man for me. Hugh 191cm says on 16/Aug/09
He claims to be Irish. Hes near 6ft2. Ray says on 12/Aug/09
Lenad, technically you are correct. He was born in England. However, he has an Irish passport and has lived in Ireland for the past 20 years or so. His father was Irish. Its a bit like Pierce Brosnan, Peter O'Toole, Kenneth Brannagh, among others. All were born in Ireland and grew up there but are considered British by many. Lenad says on 11/Aug/09
Rob he's English Hugh 191cm says on 16/Jul/09
A weak 6ft2 (187-188cm). Lenad says on 10/Jul/09
Yeah I saw 6ft1 min in Gangs of New York Hugh 190cm says on 7/Jun/09
Did look close to 6ft2 in Gangs of New York. He's quite slim so that might give a taller illusion. Still, the guy's no less than 6ft1. 187cm is very possible. Maybe even 188cm peak? Lenad says on 6/Jun/09
Strong 6ft1. I personally think 186-187cm vikr09 says on 6/Jun/09
A strong 6'1 seems about right. And yeah, definitely the greatest actor in the world on his day/in his film! 1.85 m -1.87 m was my guess to begin with, just from watching him in his movies. Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
70 dollars on a strong 6'1 30 dollars on a weak 6'2 yoyo says on 3/Jun/09
The Ballad of Jack and Rose he looks everywhere from 6ft1 range.. Lenad says on 1/Jun/09
186-187cm is what I saw in gangs of New York Lenad says on 29/May/09
I'd go for at least 6ft1 from watching Gangs of New York. Lenad says on 20/Apr/09
Looks 186cm maybe 187 thekiddd says on 3/Apr/09
claimed 6 foot 1 and 1/2 inch. Can't be 6 foot 1 if that's his claim. D says on 22/Mar/09
He looked about 6'1" in TWBB. Rani says on 16/Mar/09
I'm pretty sure Daniel's height is 6 feet 1.25 inches. Zach #2 says on 23/Feb/09
Rex says on 15/Feb/09
in there will be blood he doesnt look that tall at all....I thought he looked around 5'10"
are you serious?..........DDL looked a solid 6'2 in TWBB Rex says on 15/Feb/09
in there will be blood he doesnt look that tall at all....I thought he looked around 5'10" talldude says on 11/Feb/09
He looked very tall in gangs of new york Hugh says on 2/Feb/09
I thought he looked like 6ft2-6ft3 in Gangs of New York. Lenad says on 31/Jan/09
In gangs of new york he looks a solid 6ft1. sam says on 7/Dec/08
shrunk, nah. I'll bet he's always been 6'1.5 Zach says on 2/Aug/08
i'd say Day-Lewis is a good 6ft 1.5" maybe 6ft 2", but i know in "my beautiful laundrette" he looked very tall, almost 6ft 3/4" if thats true, my guess he has shrunk as he's gotten older.
the best actor alive! sam says on 1/Aug/08
Aime, you bumped into daniel plainview at the deli, lol Aimie says on 31/May/08
he is my neighbor here in soho (nyc) and he certainly looks 6'2" when i bump into him at the deli. Kathy says on 2/May/08
Daniel is at least 6'2". Here is an excerpt from the man who helped train him load and shoot his rifle in LOTM.
***Watching Daniel work with his trainer that morning only confirmed what I has suspected. Daniel takes his training very seriously. Besides his build (6'2" or so and sinewy) which promotes athletic agility, he was, at the time of the movie, a very compulsive runner--averaging 9-15 miles at a time. And he took his training for the woodsman role with the same determination which he approached his running.
Although I was averaging four miles a run at the time of the movie, I would have died trying to keep the pace which Daniel did on a routine basis in his brightly colored tights and athletic shirt. He only inspired me to push my pace farther and faster. I was supposed to inspire him to handle his rifle like a woodsman, but he, in just a few minutes, inspired me to train even harder. But at the same time, I also realized, and still do, that at 5'10" I will always be handicapped to a degree against the likes of him. Plus, Daniel had no obligations except himself at the time of the movie. If one is single--training can last all afternoon if you wish.*** Anonymous says on 9/Mar/08
to me, he looks like a solid 6'2. the greatest actor of his generation Ed says on 8/Mar/08
Looks an easy 6ft1! In There Will Be Blood he looked even taller at times 6ft2-3! In Gangs of New York he wasn't too much shorter than Liam Neeson(6ft4, who's most likely now around 6ft3 or so. Gary says on 28/Feb/08
My eye level is 5'9.5 so he looks about 2 inches away from me, and im 6'2 barefoot, he would be 6'0 even, im 6'3.5 with shoes ER. says on 26/Feb/08
Looked an easy 6-1 1/4 at this years academy awards. Actually, I was quite shocked to read here that he is not taller. G-MANN says on 17/Feb/08
I'd love to meet him to see what he is really like in person, providing he isn't "in character" working on a film. I don't think he's quite as weird or unapproachable as he's generally made-out to be. But I'm talking about a proper meeting, if I saw him in the street I think I'd leave him alone (I'm not really into autographs). G-MANN says on 17/Feb/08

Daniel Day-Lewis is probably very anti-celebrity, he's certainly a very private person, he's the most hardcore, dedicated name actor around today who never does stuff for the money and never phones in a performance. Matt says on 8/Feb/08
These claims of 5'10" are ridiculous. DDL is an easy 6'1", if not 6'2". Watch Gangs of New York and you'll see him leading huge crowds of men and towering over the lot of them. There is no way somebody who is 5'10", or even 5'11" could look that lanky and dominating. G-MANN says on 15/Jan/08
"he was one of the toughest photos with to get ever.now he poses and signs up a storm.i have 2.almost 3.at least 6-1."
Is he mellowing in middle-age and no longer quite the same intense young method actor who seemed to loathe fame? Josh says on 13/Jan/08
6'1?????? He looks like 5'11 damm PaulG says on 12/Jan/08
don't see more than 6ft! sam says on 11/Jan/08
CJ, Day-Lewis is dropping more height than Di Caprio was. If you see the two in Gangs of New York, Day-Lewis is about an inch taller than Di Caprio. dmeyer says on 9/Jan/08
looks barely 6'0 but it is posture Antin says on 9/Jan/08
looks 5'10-5'11 Gago says on 9/Jan/08
Saw him at the Critic's Choice, could be 187cm, between 6'1.5-6'1.75. kolñp says on 9/Jan/08
Gleen, do you think he,s 6'1 (185 cm), because no offends, but he looks 5'11 at least in the night.
thanks. D. Ray Morton says on 9/Jan/08
IMHO he's in the top three of actors currently working. One of the very best. Looks like he could be over 6'1" if he were standing up straight (which he clearly is not). Tom says on 5/Jan/08
I'm watching "Last of the Mohicans," now. He doesn't appear taller than 5'10". Schwarzenneger is 186, there's no way he's as tall as Schwarzenneger. JohnDorian says on 1/Dec/07
I am in agreement with Anonymous - in regards to "Gangs of New York," Daniel Day Lewis looked about the same height (even smaller, at times) as Leonardo DiCaprio. I would pin him at roughly six foot or quite possibly 5'11" - assuming DiCaprio is as he seems at 5'11.5" (182cm). Nonetheless, Daniel Day Lewis is far from the 6' 1.25" Rob has him listed as. Anonymous says on 22/Oct/07
This guy doesnt look any more than 6 foot, he isnt much taller than Dicaprio in GONY, but it doesn't matter, hes the best actor ever! Anonymous says on 2/Aug/07
this guy is and irish legend and yes 186 sounds rite bikagyura says on 14/Apr/07
Would that make Eric Schweig (Last Of The Mohicans) 6' 1½" or would you still think he is 6' 2", Rob? Jason says on 25/Dec/06
Yeah, 185 or 186. Thinking again, I think I would list him at 186. Jason says on 24/Dec/06
What made you change his height? lol. Yeah, he looks 6-1. Not over it or under it.
[Editor Rob: I think 186 fitted him closer] Jason says on 26/Sep/06
Yes, because one couldn't possibly gauge the difference between an inch and half an inch when comparing him to someone else of similar height...
I'm guessing that's Danimal, Rob? Anonymous says on 25/Sep/06
Excuse me,but I find that amusing. It's just like if somebody would say after seeing a large group of people "I don't think they are 25, 24 at most".
haha I agree.
Jason says on 23/Apr/06
Ayreon: Not the same thing. :) Ed says on 22/Apr/06
I haven't seen the movie in a while, but in Gangs of new York I thought there was only a 2 inch difference between Neeson and Lewis, and I'm starting to think Neeson is more like 6ft3 these days. 6ft1 sounds right! Jason says on 3/Jan/06
6'1''/185cm would be my estimate for him. IMO he doesn't look more than this. I think he was just innocently slightly off on his height when he said 6'1 1/2''. elvoys says on 5/Nov/05
yeah but when stabbs liam neeson close up in gangs of ny he looks a good bit smaller - lucky if bigger then 6'? |
