Looks a inch between Chandler and Joey in the 3rd picture taking account of the raised hair style of Chandler there. Draw a line top from Joeys head it matches to chandlers hair. Joey's hair is flat. The other 2 didn't show for me.

There does look to be 4 inches between schwimmer and leblanc (assuming schwimmer straightens up: Click Here
Also, "Joey has the most relaxed posture in friends" Anonymous, how do you figure leblanc always slouches?

By the way, a 5`10-5`10.5 matt leblanc is virtually impossible.

Rob G. In that pictures Joey (5ft9) looks taller than (6ft1) Schwimmer. I think there is no way a 6ft 1 guy could look smaller than a 5ft9 guy even with the way they are standing in that picture. I think a lot of people are going to have to revise their height estimates. There isn't a great deal between these 3 guys. I've watch friends for years and Joey sometimes looks as tall as Chandler and Chandler looks as tall as Ross. In some cases Joey looks as tall as Ross. So they is not 4inches between these guys. My theory is 5ft 10"-10.5" (Joey), 5ft 10.75-5ft11.25" (Chandler). 5ft 11.5-6ft0 (Ross). Thus depending on footwear and posture they can all look around the same. Ross has the best posture of all 3 in friends. He is always standing so straight that would gain him an inch over the other guys who regularly slouch and Joey has the most relaxed posture in friends. In that photo Joey is standing so straight, I've never seen him like that in friends.

Is Simon Pegg 5'9 though,he doesn't quite look it with 5'8.5 Kevin Smith Click Here

He does have about 4 inches on 5`9 simon pegg: Click Here
Matt says on 4/Jul/08
I think you're plucking some pretty wild numbers out of the air to fit your argument, anonymous! Schwimmer's pose is far from optimal, but there is no way he is losing 4 inches. And it is all very well and good saying that Le Blanc is closer to the camera, but at least be balanced enough to admit that Perry's shoulder is only significantly higher because he is tilting it (i.e. look how low his *right* shoulder is)

Look at this photo of Perry: Click Here

He is beaten by the lax and 5'11" Bradley Whitford, putting Perry at around 5'10.5" tops. So if you're saying that Schwimmer is missing 4" in that picture -- where he and Perry are already pretty much level -- then you are saying that Schwimmer is nearer 6'2.5"!

Le Blanc: 5'9.75 - 5'10"; Perry 5'10.5"; Schwimmer 5'11.75" - 6'

If you need even more proof of this, check out the Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes where David Schwimmer guest stars alongside 5'11" Larry David. There are scenes where they are literally back-to-back, and Schwimmer has no more than an inch on LD.

The 6'1"+ claims are wild. Schwimmer has a small head on a broad, muscular body. He is a TALL six feet -- which will beat most men, especially in Hollywood -- but no more.
anonymous says on 3/Jul/08
Leblanc is closer to the camera. Perry's shoulder height appears a good deal higher than leblanc's which should give some idea of how much taller he would be if he straightened out. Also, schwimmer, who is leaning his neck and in a walking position, could be losing as much as 4 inches of height.
I always felt the schwimmer was about 6`2... til i came to this site and evidence showed that he was 6`1. I don't think he is as low as 6`0 matt. Most evidence does point more towards a 6`0.5-6`1.25 range. A weak 6`1 to a strong 6`1.
anonymous says on 3/Jul/08
What do you make of this rob: Click Here
It would appear that while leaning, the top of his head is around the 6`1 mark. Is it legit?

[Editor Rob: it's not great really.]
Matt says on 30/Jun/08
Good spot Rob G.

It is a little difficult to gauge the accuracy of that picture. Obviously Le Blanc has impeccable posture in comparison to Schwimmer and Perry, as well as possibly being a touch nearer the camera.

But this photo alone -- if genuine -- ought to blow out of the water all those who reckon Perry is 5'11.5"+, or that Schwimmer is 6'2" (or even 6'1"). I've said all along that I *know for a fact* that Perry is no more than 5'10.5", and Schwimmer has never looked much more than a strong six footer.

I really do think that one of our main problems on this site is that people now equate "big" with starting at 6'1", 6'2". People see a guy like Schwimmer beating five castmates and figure "Yeah, he's a solid 6'2"" or whatever. People just aren't giving enough credit to just how tall a true six footer is, or even somebody who is 5'11.5"+
Rob G says on 28/Jun/08
Now that's interesting Click Here look at around 1.01 min in this video. Schwimmer,Perry and LeBlack all barefeet, I know that only Le Blanck has great posture there, but still it seems that they are all close in height
Matt says on 23/Jun/08
little one & Jeff, I agree with the pair of you.

Incidentally, I was watching Curb Your Enthusiasm the other day, and Schwimmer was guest starring. He was *no more* than an inch taller than 5'11" Larry David and, if I'm honest, the gap looked a little smaller than that.

Schwimmer is a strong six foot, which is a genuinely tall height; we just underestimate it. He got owned by genuine monsters Selleck and Gould on Friends, he barely beats 5'11" Larry David, and he never looked like he had Matthew Perry badly beaten.

Schwimmer is a strong-looking guy with a good physique, *impeccable* posture and, for a while, had hair which looked like it was 4" in height! He miiiight be a shade over 6 feet at 6'0.25" or something, but that's it. I think if he was genuinely 6'1" plus, then he'd have a much better track record against other actors.
little one says on 20/Jun/08
i was an extra on RUN FAT BOY RUN. scwhimmer is no way 6'2. i am 5'11 and he did not tower over me. i wouldn't put him any taller than 6'0.
Midnite says on 11/Jun/08
Saw him at a popular Chicago nite club, this guy is a legit 6'1, but not taller.
Ian says on 4/Jun/08
Yeah but the mad angles are in the backdrop draw the line on the head of them both it's easy as it is already there. See that line in the background. He 6ft 1 tops.
Clay says on 3/Jun/08
Ian notice how Schwimmer is standing behind both Jen and Prinze there? Ypu cant judge based off pics like that - there is mad camera angles going on.
Random Person says on 1/Jun/08
I'm not sure how people are seeing 6' here. He really does look 6'1" if you take into account he's further back than Glenn. I really am not buying 6'2" though. I don't recall him ever looking that tall on Friends except maybe against Brad Pitt whose height will be debateable for the ages. He seems a weak 6'1" to me. There's a barefoot scene in Friends between jennifer Aniston and him where he doesn't look more than 7 inches tall. I've yet to figure that one out. Anyway, 6'1" seems right.
Anonymous says on 26/May/08
To me in the pic he looks about 6 foot, judging him as looking taller from the pic of him standing next to the smallest man in the world is hardly fair.

I need to look at him next to matt perry....I just watched the episode of scrubs with matthew perry and he was exactly the same height as 5'11 Zach Braff..but David being 6'2 would put Matthew Perry at almost 6'1, which I know is not true.
xyzblast says on 25/May/08
that pic with the dude will back up even a 6'5 claim lol.
clark says on 24/May/08
His face looks tall or lean too, but I say he is about 6'1"....now if his hair was part of his skull you could throw on another 3 inches......
Clay says on 23/May/08
With Glenn its obvious he is 6'1/6'2.
glenn says on 23/May/08
well,that certainly backs my 6-2 claim.others dont want to hear it.
ACG says on 23/May/08
hehe, no problem...be glad to back you up any day, especially when I have photographic proof like I did this time!!

Rob, will you please consider an upgrade?
Viper says on 22/May/08
Yeah, Schwimmer looks closer to 6-4 If that dude is really 5-5.
Clay says on 22/May/08
He looks a foot taller than your 5'5'' friend, lol.
glenn says on 21/May/08
see,when real proof comes,we get the truth.amazing job acg.i see a solid 6-2 there,if not a hair more.thanks for coming through.people here assume too much without actually meeting the celeb.they should take my word more.
Ian says on 21/May/08
To be honest with you ACG comparing him with a 5ft 5 guy don't really say much. Well it does it says he towers over him but so does a 6ft guy I appear this much taller than my dad and my girlfriend' dad who are both 5ft 8. You need to get a certified 6ft guy standing next to Schwimmer to compare. He is certainly smaller than Jason Lee 6ft 1.5 and Freddy prince jr who is 6ft 1. I could give David 6ft 1 at his stretching tallest including hair a push but no more.

Click Here
ACG says on 21/May/08
I whole heartedly agree with glenn on the 6'2....in fact I wouldn't cut out the possibility of David being taller.

This is a pic of my friend with Mr. Schwimmer. In the picture he is 5'5 and I know this for a fact because the last time I saw him I was also 5'5 and we were exactly the same height.


Click Here

So you can see that Schwimmer really can't be under 6'2....to say he is less than 9 inches taller than my friend in the picture is unrealistic.
glenn says on 16/May/08
exactly davey.though here in new york city i have seen plenty of 1.5 inchers.but i mean on average,to even say 2 inches is ridiculous.
Davey says on 15/May/08
Dress shoes dont even give an inch these days.1cm i have found with the news syles,You really have to look hard to find ones that give an inch these days.
glenn says on 14/May/08
thank you dmeyer.
glenn says on 14/May/08
exactly anonymous.usually one inch.
anonymous says on 14/May/08
dress shoes giving 2 inches? Usually it is about an inch or so.
dmeyer says on 14/May/08
i agree with glenn he is aleast 6 ft 1 maybe 6 ft 2 but by that mark perry is 6 ft 0.5 in
glenn says on 14/May/08
i forgot ian.you met him like i did.6-4 in dress shoes? what kind of dress shoes are those? even your shoe estimates are wrong.
Ian says on 13/May/08
I've watching Kissing a fool on the ITV2 right now and Schwimmer is about 1.5" smaller than Jason Lee in that film in several scenes. No way is that guy any way close to 6ft2. He'd be 6ft 4" in dress shoes and 2" inches of the top of a door frame and he's like 6" off the top of a door frame in that film and in friends.
glenn says on 12/May/08
are you kidding me? he looked 6-2.
Ivan 6'2.25 says on 12/May/08
Looks 5'11 next to Glenn
mark says on 3/May/08
I think he is 6'05
doesnty really look a full 6'1
glenn says on 29/Apr/08
he seemed 6-2 without the help of shoes,so dmeyers 6-1.5 claim is close.
dmeyer says on 29/Apr/08
he looked a solid 5 cm taller than 5 ft 11.5 azaria so either he is 6 ft 1.5 or azaria is 5 ft 11 flat
Jed says on 28/Apr/08
I happen to see these to guys together and dave is slightly behind him about 3". And standing behind someone would make you appear shorter. According to the 5'8" Glenn Dave is at max 6'2" which is in shoes in shoes and 6'1" or less. without them.
Hugh says on 25/Apr/08
Looks 6ft2.
tom shanks says on 4/Apr/08
out and about and depending on what shoes i'm wearing i am 6' - 6'ft1. bare feet 5'11.
Yaspaa says on 4/Apr/08
You certainly sound nuts.
livelove LI says on 3/Apr/08
alright this is how i feel about this morning height thing...it doesnt matter. whats important is how tall you are after walking around,exercise....but with your shoes on......because thats how people see you as............i for example am 17 and 6'1 and thats how tall i wud tell somebody i am.......i wudnt dare get into how im a certain height but only right outta bed....ppl wud think im nuts
tom shanks says on 3/Apr/08
Schwimmer was a good two inches taller than Pitt in Friends. apparently Pitt is around 5'10-5'11 - Schwimmer is therefore around 6'0 - 6'1 in my opinion.
glenn says on 2/Apr/08
then peruse the site and leave me alone.i only seem to have problems with foreigners.that nitpick.and are rude.not brits.brits are rude as celebs though alot.
tom shanks says on 2/Apr/08
if by 'foreign' you mean i am not from the united states, then yes, i am 'foreign'. I am from Britain. nobody is 'attacking' you as you state on the 'latest comments' thread.

it is not 'you' i am interested in. it is 'celebrities' and their heights that interests me.
glenn says on 1/Apr/08
this guy must be foreign.im 5-8 when i wake.5-7ish late at night.as low as 5-7.25 possibly.5-7 up until 1994.i grew an inch since then.no complex.i tried taking photos of my height to no sucsess.no height chart of course and where would i find one? do you want me to find time for you? do you even realise how busy i might be? case closed.
tom shanks says on 1/Apr/08
i feel i ought to make something quite clear here as various responses seem to be taking my original post as a personal attack on Glenn which it wasn't.

this is not a question of trust. it is a question of facts. i have never met glenn so accepting his height 'because he said so' does not tell me he is 5'8. I have no reason to believe he is lying and nor am i accusing him of lying. However, i am aware that when it comes to height (none more so than with celebrities or so it seems) it appears that what some people actually are and what they want to believe they are can be different. Let us say for instance that Glenn has a height complex (which I am not saying he has)and in his mind he sees 5'7 people as really short. This might lead him to deny that he could be 5'7 and every time he measures himself slightly lifts his head or feet leading him to the conclusion that he is 5'8 and thus in his mind just over the 'short' height when in reality he is 5'7 (which I'm not saying he is either as this is hypothetical).

Also take into account height shrinkage over the years. Glen has admitted he has been autograph hunting for over 20 years. Isn't it possible his own height has decreased over these 20 years?

Having someone stand next to a height chart would, I believe, help those interested in comparing heights which is, after all, why we are on this site.

If Glen doesn't want to do this then that is his choice not to do so. in his mind he may be convinced of his height but surely he and others can see that have never met glenn. asking me to 'trust him' without solid facts sounds like a serial killer asking me to 'trust' he never murdered 'those girls' because he said so...
anonymous says on 31/Mar/08
i think it wud be twice as important if glenn would tell us height with his shoes on (mid-day) it doesn't really matter what height he is barefoot because neither him nor the celeb is barefoot

and if you do choose to reply i wouldn't argue or disbelieve what you say....because i trust you
glenn says on 30/Mar/08
thanks yaspaa and anonymous.
Yaspaa says on 29/Mar/08
Tom,I understand where you are coming from,I also don't believe things until I see them for myself, but this site is very subjective by nature and 'I' will probably never be in the situation to gauge for myself,with my own eyes.Relying on Rob,Glenn,Mamun and other contributers is all we have and we have to trust them. This is a site on heights and the above mentioned ,especially Rob who runs the site put too much effort in to bother exaggerating their own height. Pictures are 2D and the world is 3D so pictures are never going to be totally accurate, which is why Glenn sometimes looks bigger or smaller,not to mention what lifts are or aren't being worn.
In 'Friends',Tom Selleck looked significantly taller,especially in one particular scene that stuck in my mind,more than 2 or 3 inches.
tom shanks says on 25/Mar/08
fair enough. although i do not see what the fuss is about. considering the fact we are using glen as a benchmark for a lot of these celebs, i thought it would be in his interest to show us irrefutable evidence of his height. it would certainly clear up debates on certain star's heights. glen's height does not interest me personally and i am not interested in harrassing him. as this is a forum for celebrity heights i am merely interested in correct heights. it seems to me that a person's height is relative depending on the observer. in any case, i shall stop harrassing glen, as you put it.

i resend this as tom shanks. my preferred moniker!
anonymous says on 23/Mar/08
tom, i really would not go down this path. Glenn does not take kindly to those who harass him on whether or not he is 5`8.
tom shanks says on 21/Mar/08
Glen, I'm afraid your pictures and the opinions of others do not count as evidence that you are 5'8". Even in your previous comment below you state you sometimes look 5'9" which means your height is debatable. If you are 5'8" and can look 5'9" does this mean you could also look 5'7"? Until you provide firm evidence that you are 5'8" your judgments on a celeb's height are not reliable.
glenn says on 21/Mar/08
i have tom.my pics.and several people on the site met me.and all agree on 5-8.i dont need to prove anything more on my height.i do this service of showing my pics for free.
tom shanks says on 20/Mar/08
I'm sorry if you take offense, Glen. As I said beore, I don't mean any disrespect, but my only interest is facts. My contribution this site is to categorically prove you are 5'8 so that we have a benchmark against which to measure the celebs. Please can you provide that proof?
glenn says on 19/Mar/08
what have you to contribute on this site except hot air tom? ive been meeting celebs for 20 years.and the same ones over and over again.and you wanna challenge my judgement? think before you speak next time.im pretty well respected on this site as a excellent guage of height.and my height is clear in 1000 pics on the site.i look 5-9 in alot of them.when people dont hear what they want,they downgrade me or the celeb.
tom shanks says on 18/Mar/08
the problem we're having here is glen as 5'8 benchmark. where is the categorical, absolute 100% proof that glen is in fact 5'8...??? The other problem is glen's judgement. with all due respect, bruce willis is not, has never been and will never be 6'1. 5'11 TOPS.
anonymous says on 1/Mar/08
he looks 6`1 here Click Here
He looks about a half inch taller than 5`11.5 alec baldwin Click Here (although he was wearing converse Click Here)
He looks 3 inches taller than chris rock and about 2.5 inches shorter than sacha baron cohen Click Here
He looks like he could be 2 inches taller than perry if he stretched out his neck Click Here
He looks like he could be close to 4 inches taller than leblanc if he stood straighter Click Here
anonymous says on 28/Feb/08
there is no chance he is 6`3. 6`2 i am going to reserve as absolute max. He is probably 185-186 as Dmeyer said earlier. that is what he usually looks like.
Michael says on 26/Feb/08
I'll believe maybe 6'2" in shoes but how can he look 6'2" Glenn if you look only 2 or 3" shorter than him. That means you would be taller than 5'8" or someone is lying about how tall they truely are. And when brook shields was on there and mind you she's nearly 5'11" barefoot she nearly towered over schwimmer not to mention some of the guest stars.
glenn says on 25/Feb/08
i never said 6-3 for david.6-2 tops.but there is no way willis is less than 6ft.
Anonymous says on 25/Feb/08
If Glenn is 5'7.75 or less in this photo (i.e not straight morning height); I think it is safe to say that Schwimmer cannot be 5.25 inches taller than him (taking into account his hair). There is no way that he is 6.25 inches taller than Glenn (i.e 6'2) if that was the case, the top of Glenn's head would undeniably be coming up to Schwimmer's nose rather than higher even than the eyebrows. Conclusion- Schwimmer cannot be taller than 6ft, let alone 6'1 or 6'2 barefoot. I think many underestimate how big a half foot difference in height really is.
Jake says on 25/Feb/08
There's no way schwimmer is 6'3". He would've looked the same height as Tom Selleck who is 6'4". Scwimmer at his greatest with shoes on. Maybe close to 6'2" mind you looking at the photo of you Glenn he only looks 3.5" taller than you. So flat footed he would be a fag paper under 6'. And Bruce willis by the way is 5'10" in most photos. Thirdly 6' is considered tall and with shoes on it adds 1.5" so there.
glenn says on 24/Feb/08
yeah dmeyer,but we know willis can look shorter.stretched out im sure he is taller.
dmeyer says on 24/Feb/08
david lookks an easy 2 in on bruce willis in friends so if bruce is 6 ft 1 then david is 6 ft 3,from all the work david done he looks 185 186 cm
glenn says on 24/Feb/08
what i have a problem with is people saying he is under 6-1.maybe it was his footwear,but he did look 6-2.i will put money on stallone being 5-10.75 and bruce willis being 6-1.
anonymous says on 24/Feb/08
i am not doubting your judgement glenn, but would you really put money on him being 6`2. most photo evidence does point to him being closer to 6`1.
glenn says on 16/Jan/08
he is 6-2.
donlad says on 16/Jan/08
glenn may be closer to the camera but he's not that much closer, is he? he's only just in front of david.

[Editor Rob: they ain't on the same plane so you have to guess, or use reasonable judgement to guage the real difference, not the masked difference.

it could be 1/2, 1, 2. I'm not even sure about the correct tilt of the photo, you could easily say it's a 3 degree tilt in glenn's favor.]
Ian says on 14/Jan/08
This puzzles me as I thought he looked 6ft2 but here looks only 3.5 inches taller than Glenn. That makes 5ft11.5. I guess it is his hair that gives him that height appearance and his slim build.
anonymous says on 1/Jan/08
for years i would have sworn 6`2. He really can look it at times. However, if mathew perry is only 5`11.25, that makes him 6`1 at best. I do think he is 6`1.
Joe says on 27/Dec/07
Tall guy, can be mistaken for 6-2. IMO He's just under 6-1, like less than half inch under 6-1. 6-0.75 seems just about right for him.
No way he's 5-11 like some people claim here.
brother_h says on 25/Dec/07
he doesnt look closer to the cam. their side by side.
or is the camera on an angle?

idk he looks 5'11-6'0 there.

[Editor Rob: well he is. It's one of the more obvious ones.]
Viper says on 23/Dec/07
Perry only looked 3 inches taller than 5-6 Jason Priestley in a Beverly Hills 90210 episode before Friends.
Anonoymous says on 22/Dec/07
wow he only looks maybe 5'11 there. Glenn looks tall! Unless hes really slouching no way over 6 feet. Im 5'9 and thats how i look with a six footer.

[Editor Rob: glenn looks closer than david, so there'll be more difference in reality than is seen in the photo.]
Matt says on 22/Dec/07
Perry is 5'10.5".

Curiously enough, I saw an early episode of Friends the other day (the one with the hockey). There was a shot showing Schwimmer, Perry and Le Blanc walking along a sidewalk. Interestingly, Perry did not look as tall as he normally does. He was only marginally taller than Le Blanc. For all the talk about Schwimmer being tall and Le Blanc being an elevator shoes guy...I am beginning to wonder whether Perry was actually guilty of wearing lifts for the best part of his career. If you have the Friends DVD boxset, check out that episode and see if you concur.
Viper says on 21/Dec/07
It would then make Matthew Perry at 5-10 max.
Matt says on 21/Dec/07
I still stand by 6' even, perhaps a shade over at 6'0.5". I don't actually think he has Glenn by THAT much in the photo posted above. Schwimmer's lean build, long face and massive hair can perhaps contribute to the illusion that he is taller than he really is.

Three things go against Schwimmer being any taller than 6' - 6.05" IMO:

1. He got owned by both Tom Selleck and Elliot Gould in Friends. Those guys are BIG. If Schwimmer was a genuine 6'2", then he would have been able to put up a much better fight against them. Instead of that, he was convincingly beaten.
2. As mentioned above, he has a body and hairstyle which boost his perceived height.
3. People underestimate just how TALL a genuine six foot individual is. 6'2"+ seems to have become the "new tall", but if you meet a genuine six footer then you will be surprised at just how tall they are. Hollywood is filled with actors who are actually shorter than you would think (5'7" - 5'10"), so a strong six footer like Schwimmer will usually look significantly taller.
Lmeister says on 16/Dec/07
Weird that you where measured shoes on.
donlad says on 15/Dec/07
i was an extra on schwimmers RUN FAT BOY RUN. i am bang on 5'11 at least. my doctor says i was 5'11 and a half but i told him i was wearing flat sole sneakers so he called me 5'11. schwimmer stood right next to me telling me about next shot. he was no taller than me. certainly not 6'1...6' absolute tops.
brother_h says on 9/Dec/07
he looks 5'11.
if he was 6'1 then his eyes would go right over glenns head.
Jason says on 8/Dec/07
If he's 6'1" and appears taller than he is on TV. That explains why he looks taller than all the guys on friends. First of all he has a slender build which would enphizise his height to appear even more taller than most. Secondly with his shoes on it would add an (1.05") to his height making him close to 6'3". Thirdly the settings on friends is made for people who are shorter to average height. Naturally I'll be taller than Dave cause like all tall and slender people i'm 6'2" and with shoes on I come close to 6'3" or 6'4" on some occasions, Hell in some pictures I look as tall as 6'6". The point is no matter what Height you truelly are except it cause in life people will be taller than you or some will be shorter. Some will be fatter and some will be bone thin. You want a 6'4" truelly put Bob Sagot up there instead.
Ray says on 7/Dec/07
Does that mean he's 6'3" in shoes ??? I find that very hard to believe. Sorry Glenn but that would mean there would be only around an inch and a half diff with Tom Selleck (6' 3.5"). On Friends, there was way more than this between them. I seem to remember someone posting on this page that there was a scene where they were both barefoot and there was 3" - 3.5" diff.
glenn says on 4/Dec/07
in person,in front of my face,he looked 6-2.so downgrading is ridiculous.that would mean 6-1 if i were wrong.
dmeyer says on 3/Dec/07
about 6'1 but no more in that pic, but i agree with 6'0.5 theory he does look 6'1 range in most pics you see him in sometimes even 186 cm
Danius says on 3/Dec/07
I question 6'1..I agree with Ray's statement.
Ted says on 3/Dec/07
always seemed shortish on that program. Never noticed him much taller than the others.
Ray says on 31/Oct/07
Hey Rob, if you've downgraded Tom Selleck then I think its time to downgrade Schwimmer to what he really is 6' - 6'0.5".

looks 6ft to me, his hair makes him looks an inch taller
Bombay Rocker says on 2/Sep/07
i see 6 feet 1 at the very max in Glenn's pic maybe even 6 feet 0.5 inches, sorry Glenn but he doesnt look even close to 6 feet 2 in that pic, even if he comes closer to camera and his posture and your posture both look quite ok and he seems happy to be taking pic with you.
ted says on 29/Aug/07
He is 6-1 maybe with his haircut that gives him one inch.But what happens if he was bald?
anonymous says on 21/Aug/07
he had a solid inch over damian lewis, i.e. 6`1. however, damian could be closer to 6`.5 since he looked taller than livingston by a pretty good amount.
Ross says on 17/Aug/07
Larry David, who is supposedly 6'0, and looks it, maybe a bit under, is a few under Schwimmer. Based on that, I'd imagine 6'1 easy, 6'2 sounds reasonable. He looks quite tall, and in Band of Brothers, he towered over the cast. His character was quite tall in real life, and despite the cast being short, he was taller than Damian Lewis, who's 6'0. Just from my perceptions, anything under 6'1 for Schwimmer seems ridiculous, though I could be wrong.
dmeyer says on 2/Aug/07
le blanc looked the same as elle in 0.2 in heels 0.5 cm and he had 2 in so he must be 5'10
Matt says on 1/Aug/07
Revised figures for the Friends cast:

Schwimmer: Six feet even (1.5" shorter than 6'1.5" Jonathan Ross).

Perry: 5'10.5" (1.5" shorter than Schwimmer, plus I know it for a fact).

Le Blanc: 5'9" (managed to meet Elle Macpherson vis-a-vis, which would have been impossible for anybody shorter than that).
Anonymous says on 13/Jul/07
I've watched all seasons of Friends and studied some pictures of Mr Schwimmer must say that for some reason Schwimmer looks in 6'0 1/2 to 6'1 1/2 range. Definetly not shorter than that, but a bit schorter than 6'2 he claims, frankly the listening here is quite correct I think
dmeyer says on 11/Jul/07
to me he looks a solid 6 ft 1 in in that pics maybe not more but no less
anonymous says on 20/Jun/07
the problem is, you never know what is going on below their waist. for all we know, schwimmer could be standing in a gutter, which would make him something like 6`4. although he is certainly not 6`4, it is extremely difficult to tell.
l0ck n l0ad says on 17/Jun/07
Why is it I have Schwimmer locked on 6'0-1/2"... for some reason I can't accept him for anything under or over that.
anonymous says on 27/May/07
not towering matt leblanc, she has atleast 4-5 inches on him.
Ray says on 15/May/07
Looked an inch shorter than Brooke Shields (5'11")in Friends. Don't know what footwear but she wasn't towering over Matt Le Blanc. There is no way Schwimmer is over 6'0" barefoot.
dmeyer says on 13/May/07
great pic glenn he dosnt look more than 6'1 in that pic and you do look a legit 5'8
AA says on 12/May/07
6' 1.25" maybe... but he's sure pretty tall.
Dann says on 11/May/07
and glenn, how was his body type ? thin ?
glenn says on 11/May/07
he had casual shoes and was 6-2.
some guy says on 11/May/07
I heard he didn't grow to that height until later in college
Anthony says on 10/May/07
Considering just how deceptive photos are, and this one being a good example of that, I'd say David is 6'1-6'1.5.
Ed says on 10/May/07
He is obviously standing behind Glenn, as Glenn is very close to the camera. Just look at the camera's flash on his face and leather jacket, Schwimmer is behind him and over a bit. He does look only 5ft11.5-6ft at first, but if they were shoulder to shoulder and dead on straight I'd put him at 6ft1. What kind of footwear did he have on Glenn?
Matt says on 10/May/07
judging by the pic above with glenn I think 6ft or maybe 6'1/2" inch is right.
Viper says on 9/May/07
And Schwimmer at 6-0-6-0 1/2 matches up perfectly to Matthew Perry being 5-10 is just marginally under that.
Viper says on 9/May/07
Looks 6-0 in the pic. Doesnt look 6-1 or 6-2.
Anonymous says on 9/May/07
micky your pic please!
anonymous says on 8/May/07
If there is one thing i have learned, photos are very potentially deceiving.

[Editor Rob: in glenn's photo, it looks like david is a little further from the camera, if you moved him to the same position he's going to look taller of course, how much, well, that's harder to say]
Brad says on 8/May/07
Saw him at a film fest. He's 6' 1" tops.
Anonymous says on 8/May/07
definitly 6'2-6'3 ! i ran into him a day and he was huge !
Dann says on 7/May/07
i don't think is soo lanky, thin ...
anonymous says on 7/May/07
he does seem around 6`0.5-6`2.
anonymous says on 7/May/07
he is slouching a little. you can tell by the angle of his neck. and the way his shoulders are placed
Berk says on 7/May/07
don't know glenn,you were with him...although my opinion is he's one of these guys who are very lanky and appear taller
glenn says on 6/May/07
he appeared 6-2.photos are deceiving.
Berk says on 6/May/07
i think he's a little under 6-1,like 184
Chris says on 5/May/07
Glenn-It seems according to this photo he could be 6'1'', I trust you, but the difference between you and him seems to be 4 inches max.
Drew says on 5/May/07
Glenn, how come in the picture he looks 6'1" tops then, despite the fact that he seems to have good posture? There really doesn't seem to be a six inch difference to me. He doesn't look 5'11" though as some people are saying. At least 6ft.

Hey Micky, send the picture to Rob by email.
glenn says on 5/May/07
3rd time.he is 6-2.

He looks about 6'0 in the pic with glenn
TNTinCA says on 4/May/07
In that photo, he honestly looks closer to 6'2".
Anonymous says on 4/May/07
he looks like he's maybe 6'0 in the pic with Glenn. Definitely looks 6'1 on Friends though...
MickyM says on 4/May/07
IM 6FT3.5 AND I MET DAVID IN NOVEMBER WHEN HE WAS FILMING IN BETHNAL GREEN IN LONDON I HAD A PICTURE TAKEN WITH HIM SO WE STOOD RIGHT NEXT TO EACHOTHER HE HAD BOOTS ON AND I HAD TRAINERS ON AND I ONLY WAS ABOUT 1 INCH TALLER MAYBE THE FOOTWEAR COULD MAKE ANOTHER 1 INCH DIFFERENCE BUT HE STIIL WAS MINIMUN 6FT1.75 IF SOMEONE LETS ME NO HOW TO POST THE PICTURE I WILL
Ray says on 4/May/07
I'd say Selleck is 6'3" these days barefoot considering he's 62. I don't think he was quite 6'4" in his heyday. Schwimmer was 3" shorter than him in that episode of Friends where they're both standing barefoot. I'd give Schwimmer 6'. In the photo with Glenn he really only looks 5'11" but I'll give him 6' because of the angle of the shot.
trueheight says on 4/May/07
no that looks like 5in. The camera is not a straight angle. It is shooting from a shorter position
I'm what I am says on 3/May/07
I don't know. But with Glenn he looked 5'11. Glenn, did you wear lift?
Derek says on 3/May/07
6'1" minimum, possibly 6'2". Do you still stand by 6'2" Glenn?
glenn says on 3/May/07
the fact that you didnt know that jerk is actually good.those that know that disturb me.
Ed says on 3/May/07
It must be a weird angle, because Glenn he looks only about 6ft to your 5ft8. Was he wearing boots? I always thought he was at least 6ft1, you say he looked taller?
TheJerk says on 3/May/07
Ah, you are quite right my mistake he and Lisa were in fact on AI. I am not a fan of the show thats why I didnt know. He is probably what Rob lists him at here.
glenn says on 3/May/07
ive been saying all along he looked 6-2.
Myles says on 1/May/07
i work in a bar in chicago and saw mr schwimmer last nigt. i'm 6'1 and when he cames next to me, he was taller than me ! (and we wore both same kind of shoes). i don't know how much taller, but i had to look up when i spoke with him! but maybe his frame also distort his height. he's very buff i don't know if he workouts but i wouldn't have problems with him!
anonymous says on 30/Apr/07
i saw that seen, and i really only saw 2.5 inches. but as dmeyer said, not under 6`1.
dmeyer says on 30/Apr/07
there is a scene were david and selleck are barefeet and there isnt more than 2.5 3 in so david might not be over 6'1 but not under like 185.5 cm strong 185
to the jerk says on 29/Apr/07
dont speak before saying something stupid!!!
watch tv!!
schwimmer and kudrow were together on american idol this week!!! check youtube if u dont believe it!!!!!!!
jerk
TheJerk says on 29/Apr/07
Lisa Kudrow on American Idol? Perhaps you're confusing AI and Friends. Don't worry, we've all done that before ;)
Viper says on 29/Apr/07
I think Perry is 5-10, but what do I know. Hell Perry looks 5-9 in the Agassi pic,
Frank says on 27/Apr/07
I think perry looks 5-11 no way closer to 6'0
anonymous says on 26/Apr/07
next to lisa kudrow on american idol, looked about 4 inches taller (assuming she is wearing 1.5 inch heels).
anonymous says on 17/Apr/07
maybe not over 6`2, but he does look big.
Aaron says on 10/Apr/07
Perry at 5' 10 is a joke Viper. He's definitely close to 6' 0. He just has bad posture and is on the chubbier side. 5'10 for perry is wishful thinking for you, maybe you're short so you downplay other people's height or something. And Schwimmer is an easy 6'1. The listing is correct.
MJ says on 6/Apr/07
Interestingly, Schwimmer is convincingly beaten by his on-screen father Elliot Gould in an early episode of Friends that I am watching. Both are standing straight with no trick camera angles. On Gould's page, there is a strong argument for him being around 6'1.5" in modern times. Even if he was 6'2" back in '94 (when this episode was made), it would still peg Schwimmer at a touch over 6 foot.

FWIW, I think the perception of Schwimmer's height is exaggerated because of his body structure. He has "gangly" limbs and actually gives off quite a powerful appearance.
glenn says on 13/Mar/07
i make perfect sense because i met him 2 weeks ago.6-1 minimum.giving an appearence of 6-2.or he is.
Viper says on 12/Mar/07
Jay, makes perfect sense. Schwimmer at 6-0 1/2 tops and Perry at 5-10.
Jay says on 11/Mar/07
in an episode of friends he had his shoes off and when he stood beside Mathew Perry he was still taller than Perry in shoes, not by too much though but was definetly taller.
anonymous says on 8/Mar/07
really 6`2? 6`3 in shoes?
dmeyer says on 5/Mar/07
one think of schwimmer is the lenth of his body he looks aleast 185 cm possibly 186 cm
glenn says on 3/Mar/07
just got him.he seemed 6-2.
6'2.5'' JK says on 3/Mar/07
In the first season of friends he looked more 6'0'' to me
Brian 185 says on 3/Mar/07
i also thought he's pritty tall,186-187-188 range,but seeing some of these pictures and looking more closely...he's probably just 6'0.5 or even maybe 6'.he has that goofy lanky tallish appearance which makes him look taller.

dmeyer says on 18/Jan/07
schwimmer is 6'1 but 6'1 strong like 187 morning
MLP says on 17/Jan/07
when he was on jonathan ross, jonathan looked a good 1 to 1.5 inches taller than david, not sure about footwear
hb45 says on 10/Jan/07
David looks really very tall, compared to the other actors of Friends. He's definetely over 6'1", maybe 6'2"
dmeyer says on 28/Dec/06
with 3.5 inches heels she is near 6'1.5 in shoes so dave is 185 186 cm
AA says on 27/Dec/06
David is 6-0.5. No way he's shorter. There's people who thinks he's 5-11, that's impossible...
maybe 6-0.75, but it's a remote possibility
Mr D says on 20/Dec/06
Was on Friday Night with Jonathon Ross a couple of weeks ago and self-proclaimed 6ft 1.5in Ross looked around 2 inches taller than him.
Viper652 says on 10/Nov/06
6-0 1/2 Max is what I give him.
Viper652 says on 9/Nov/06
Looks more 6-0 to me.
dmeyer says on 8/Nov/06
rob i think you should give hin 186 cm he lookes it but hen you will have to give 5'11.75 to perry since the differance is 1 to 1.5 in no more
Maccahon says on 21/Oct/06
I have had the honnor it seems of meeting several celebrities, ranging from Christopher Lee, Matthew Perry, Michael Jordon, Vince Vaugn, Ru Paul, and many others. Fortunetly, I have also met David Schwimmer. As you may know, i am 6`4. When i met him on the street, he seemed to be about 6`2-6`3. I definetely don't think he's 6`1.
dmeyer says on 1/Aug/06
a friend of mine who is 189 told me david was similar height with about 187 i think david is 6 ft1.5 in you should give him aleast 6ft1.25 but it is true that he is only 1 to 1.5 in taller than perry who i believe is 183 but u say 182 so who knows
Gonzalo says on 19/Jun/06
He was clearly shorter than Elliot Gould in Friends and also shorter than Tom Selleck. I don`t think he is 6`2. 6`1 seems fine for him.
steffy'89 says on 7/May/06
he's 188cm tall, that's for sure! every other website says so, and by all the other ''friends'' he does look kinda hugesque, don't you think so?
dmeyer says on 13/Mar/06
i steel beleive e can be 187cm because if he is only 6'1" then brad is not 6' since he apeared 4 to5 cm shorter
kipper says on 12/Mar/06
i think he's just 6'1.5 hes about an inch taller than perry barefoot
Hammer says on 5/Feb/06
i agree with the ponit that sometimes when you list their height, you list their height with shoes on.
J.J.F says on 21/Jan/06
Definitely no way Schimmer is over 6'1". I think just under - but a pic from Glenn is what we need here!
316 says on 14/Jan/06
In one episode of FRIENDS, schwimmer is standing next to Tom selleck(6'4 himself), and David looks a clear 2-2.5" shorter than Tom barefoot. So I guess he is 187 cms barefeet and maybe 188-188.5 with shoes on.
dmeyer says on 9/Jan/06
if leelee is 5'10 +3.5" =6'1.5" and schimmer is steel about 1 "taller in means 6'2.5" in shoes about 6'1.25" to 6'1.5" barefeet so david is in the 186 187 cm range
dmeyer says on 8/Jan/06
hey rob whi dont you list him at 6'1.25"
deadman says on 8/Jan/06
david schwimmer came into the electronics store i used to work for in chicago. firstly, he pulled up in an old beater jeep cherokee(this was during maybe the second to last season of friends maybe before). he was wearing trainers and was about my height(i was wearing boots). i'd say 6'1 is accurate, maybe slightly less
Anonymous says on 7/Jan/06
6'1" sounds about right
lappers_84 says on 4/Jan/06
i always believed he was 6'2 even when watching an episode of friends along side Eddie Cahill who is listed as 6'2 they looked exactly the same height (the very end of the one with the red sweater)
dmeyer says on 7/Dec/05
rob i think you right because in a movie he did with paltrow and rapaport and vartan he barely looks 6'1" he looks much taller in friends 186 cm on a good day but he does apear as a 187 188 cm in friends but if he is only 185 186 cm then perry and leblanc are way shorter than i thaught
J.J.F says on 5/Dec/05
Nah, he's a tad over 6 foot. 6'05" probably, judging from him next to Damien Lewis...

Kal is right - somehow this guy always looks taller than he really is... freaky In Friends he was noticable shorter than Tom "almost 6'4" Selleck... though not a full 4" shorter I think
Kal says on 4/Dec/05
I would say just UNDER 6"1 - judging from Matthew Perry who is a certifiable liar.

Shwim's got all the characteristics of a guy who appears much taller than he really is -- for years I was willing to swear he was 6"2. Alas my deductive reasoning had failed me. He is has long slender legs, a large looking back and broad shoulders which give him a lanky-ish appearence. But if you study hims in pics close to B.Pitt and next to the other Friend cast members, an inkling of the truth comes out. Also watch him at showbizzy type events; he's not as tall as expected.
Anonymous says on 19/Nov/05
if schwimmer is only 186 cm then perry is 182 cm and leblanc 178 cm
Anonymous says on 20/Aug/05
if she is 178 she can rich 186 with heels even 187 schwimmer with shoes is around 189 190 that whi he is 3 cm taller so ther is steel a chance of david being 188 cm
Josh says on 1/Aug/05
I agree with hani i´ve seen that pic before and shwimmer is shorter than Freddie Prinze at least 1 inch and Freddie is a solid 6'1 (185cm) Shwimmer could be 6'1 but with shoes on tha makes him 6ft barefoot.
Viper252 says on 1/May/05
Could Schwimmer be 5-11?? http://tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb?d=tvi&id=1807776640&cf=ph&pgid=&photoid=487960&pid=30

[Editor Rob: Nah, the lines on the back wall in that pic give you an idea of the perspective to consider...]
Mr. R says on 10/Mar/05
I was watching a rerun of Saturday Night Live the other night, and there was a skit where schwimmer was in an elevator, and weird things kept happening. At one point, he was right next to Will Ferrell, who we know is 6'3". I would say that Schwimmer is not even 6'1", but maybe 6'05". He was clearly about 2.5 inches shorter than Ferrell! For years, he has been listed incorrectly at 6'2"!
