Hugh 191cm says on 5/Nov/09
Looks somewhere between 6ft1 and 6ft2 with good posture. Minimum 185cm
Don says on 28/Oct/09
I always thaught he was 6'3" or 6'4" but I guess 6'1" might be accurate.
Hugh 191cm says on 27/Sep/09
Alright 2-3 inches shorter. I didn't see a full 3 inches between the 2.
Rob G says on 25/Sep/09
Hugh 191cm says on 24/Sep/09
He was 2 inches shorter than Tom Selleck. He ain't under 6ft1.

Well, I must disagree here, he was clearly 3 inches shorter than Selleck.
Hugh 191cm says on 24/Sep/09
was half an inch taller than a dress shoes enhanced Alec Baldwin.
Hugh 191cm says on 24/Sep/09
He was 2 inches shorter than Tom Selleck. He ain't under 6ft1.
Rob G says on 20/Sep/09
See, I think he has about 1" on Perry, not 2", since in Friends there is a scene when Perry in shoes is same height/little taller then Schwimmer. Moreover there are many scenes when the difference is also about 1". Schwimmer is much taller when he makes use of chunky footwear, not lifts, but well-sized shoes, and Perry usually wears converse. I can buy morning 186cm, night 184cm.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Sep/09
186-187cm I think seeming hes a solid 2 inches taller than Matthew Perry. He also held his own opposite 6ft3 Michael Rappaport.
Rob G says on 10/Sep/09
Hugh 191cm, if you mean 6'1.25" first thing out of bed for Schwimmer, then I concur, however going with midday height I'm sticking with weak 6'1" for him.
Hugh 191cm says on 8/Sep/09
I think Schwimmer is 6ft1.25 and Gould is 6ft2 and (6ft2.75 peak).
Rob G says on 25/Aug/09
During Friends Schwimmer is a weak 6'1" and Gould is a legit 6'2", there is a solid inch between the two.
Hugh 191cm says on 19/Aug/09
No 2cm shorter because Gould has lost height. He was 6ft3 in his prime no question but has dropped an inch.
kevin says on 17/Aug/09
David Schwimmer is 6'1- 185 cm tall, he is a tall guy, Fred willard is 6'2- 188 cm
Doug says on 1/Aug/09
The moment I started doubting the 6'2" was when Selleck came into the picture. I was thinking, wow Selleck must be at least 6'5" if Schwimmer is really 6'2".
Doug says on 1/Aug/09
No Hugh, Schwimmer looked easily 2 inches shorter than Gould. Gould is 6'3", Schwimmer is 6'0.5" I'm pretty sure. I used to buy the 6'2" actually. I think it is because he wears clumpy shoes and has a big doofus head that believed it. He probably is not far off it in shoes but when he takes off the clumps the height loss is noticeable. He looked even a weak 6'1" compared to Selleck. He also looked exactly 6'0.5" next to 6'3" Gabreille Reece accounting for footwear.
Rob G says on 27/Jul/09
In first seasons of Friends he always strucked me as a 6footer, up until season 3 or 4 he looked more 6'1", but I never considered him as 6'2" guy
Hugh 191cm says on 22/Jul/09
Looked 2cm shorter than Gould and around 1.5 on perry. It's scary, I used to think perry was at least 6ft1!
Rob G says on 14/Jul/09
Doug says on 13/Jul/09 Perry is about an inch shorter than schwimmer. Le Blanc is easily 4 inches shorter than Schwimmer. Exactly
Doug says on 13/Jul/09
Perry is about an inch shorter than schwimmer. Le Blanc is easily 4 inches shorter than Schwimmer.
Rob G says on 2/Jul/09
Btw the difference between Perry and Schwimmer is often exagerrated, there is no 2 inches between the two, it is about one inch, since they tend to look similar in height in many Friends episodes, plus, as Doug mentioned before, in one episode it is clear that Perry in shoes is similar height/little taller then barefoot Schwimmer.
Hugh 190cm says on 30/Jun/09
185cm minimum and 187cm Max. if Perry is 181cm.
Doug says on 27/Jun/09
Clay I'd fully agree on the 5'8.5" for Le Blanc. 5'9" max.He always had a footwear advantage over Perry who often seemed to wear sneakers. So Le Blanc at 5'8.5"-5'9" and Perry at 5'11.5-6' is about right.
Doug says on 27/Jun/09
Not as much as 4.5" I initially got that impression too, but 3.5" certainly. The 6'1" listing is certainly questionable when stood next to Selleck barefoot. If Selleck is a solid 6'4", Schwimmer is between 6' and 6'1". Schwimmer actually looks like a former boyfriend of one of my sisters, very similar in height having seen him barefoot and he was a flat 6'. Personaly I think Schwimmer is more 6'0.5". Clay, how tall do I think Le Blanc is? Having seen him barefoot next to Perry and Aniston, he is struggling with a solid 5'9" I think. I think he is a very similar height to Sylvester Stallone barefoot, possibly 5'8.5"-5'9". Don't buy 5'9.5" or over for him but he can strangely sometimes look 5'11" in his clumpy shoes (like Stallone). Remember the Elle Macpherson scenes? He wasn't much shorter, not three inches. Either Elle isn't a legit 6' or something is wrong. He wears clumpy shoes to look taller, maybe he was wearing lifts in scenes with her? . Oh and stood next to 5'9" listed Paul Rudd (who I thought was 5'10") I could see Le Blanc at 5'9"-5'9.5". I then found out that Rudd is only 5'9" flat so Le Blanc has to be shorter as there was roughly 0.5-1 inch height difference between them. I would therefore estimate Blanc's height at 174cm. If Rudd is more 5'9.5" which I could elieve than a flat 5'9" for Le Blanc would seme plausible. Either way Rudd was 0.5-1 inch taller than le Blanc stood side by side yet Le Blanc is listed as being 0.5" taller than Rudd!! It is the other way round I swear!
Rob G says on 25/Jun/09
I've seen 3.5" difference in that scene
Ray says on 25/Jun/09
In that barefoot scene with Selleck if you take away the hair, Schwimmer only comes up to Selleck's eye line. Its more than 3" difference. I would argue 6' for Schwimmer....quite possibly under. Maybe I was getting a weird camera angle but eyeline is about 4.5".
Clay says on 24/Jun/09
Doug - what do you think Le Blanc is? I think on the show he wore bigger shoes to compensate, but still always looked 2 inches under Perry. He could be just 5'8.5.
Doug says on 24/Jun/09
Clay I agree. Minimum 5'11.5" for Perry. Another 5'11.5 guy who claims the 6'1" and often comes close in shoes.
Clay says on 23/Jun/09
Perry is like a weak 6'0 more than anything, a solid 5'11.5 t his lowest. Schwimmer is comfertably at 6'1''.
Ace says on 15/Jun/09
One thing that supports Schwimmer's 6`1, is that he was at most, 3 inches shorter than Tom Selleck when they faced off barefoot in that Friends episode.
Doug says on 14/Jun/09
Yup I would put Schwimmer at 6'0.5" and Perry at 5'11.75".
Doug says on 14/Jun/09
See what I mean about how tall Matthew Perry looks. Look at the height difference between Aniston and Schwimmer. DOoes anybody really see a 8 inch height difference? ALl I know is that Matthew Perry is taller in shoes than a barefoot Schwimmer as seen on Friends.

dmeyer says on 12/Jun/09
david and matthew alwais look similar height i would say the diferance between them is 0.75 to 1 in so eiter schwimmer is 6 ft 0.25 or perry is 6 foot

I agree dmeyer, the differnece is max 1 inch, I have Schwimmer pegged at 6'0.5" and Perry at 5'11.5" IMO these are the heights most likely for them
btw from that photo that Ace posted you can see that LeBlanc is certainly not dwarfed, so I wonder
keegan says on 13/Jun/09
184cm for schwimmer barefoot imo , doesnt seem to have perry by terribly much
Ace says on 13/Jun/09
This is an interesting shot: Click Here
If someone were able to photoshop this image to make schwimmer standing straight, than we could see conclusively what the difference is between perry and schwimmer.
Rob, do you think you could, or know someone who has the time to do so?
dmeyer says on 12/Jun/09
david and matthew alwais look similar height i would say the diferance between them is 0.75 to 1 in so eiter schwimmer is 6 ft 0.25 or perry is 6 foot
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Jun/09
nah, strong 6ft1 for me. 186cm. 6ft3 is absurd though.
Lenad says on 6/Jun/09
184-185cm
peter says on 4/Jun/09
i ahve stood next to david schwimmer in a chicago starbucks i am 6 ft even and david came up to my shoulders he is not anywere nesr 6 ft tall.
Tony says on 28/May/09
diego says on 8/May/09
no guys, 6'3 is just true for schwimmer

Impossible Schwimmer was on Leno with a 6'3 female volleyball player she towered over him and she was wearing flats
Rob G says on 25/May/09
Thanks Doug :-)
Doug says on 25/May/09
I agree completely Rob G.
Rob G says on 24/May/09
186 cm in the morning, after 10 hours of a very good sleep :-) throughout the day 184-185cm IMO
Doug says on 24/May/09
I can just about buy Schwimmer at 6'1" compared to Selleck, no more.
Hugh 190cm says on 24/May/09
Schwimmer is 186cm and Selleck is 192-193cm.
Doug says on 21/May/09
In general I see a minimum 2 inch height difference between Gould and Schwimmer.
Doug says on 21/May/09
Rob G exactly. Schwimmer is struggling with a flat 6'1" barefoot more like a 6'0.5". Watch the scene in Friends where Tom Selleck and David Schwimmer are standing face to face and you can see their feet. There is roughly a 3.5 inch height difference between them. Anybody who thinks Schwimmer was a strong 6'1"-6'2" compared to both Selleck and Gould is crazy. 6'1" MAX +clumpy shoes = strong 6'2" impression. Funny thing is Gould looked an easy 3 inches tall than Schwimmer even when he was wearing his standard clumpy shoes. My money's on Schwimmer at 184cm, Selleck at 192cm.
Rob G says on 21/May/09
Thanks Ace, just watched these scenes from episode 13 season 7, indeed Schwimmer is not dwarfed or anything, but I must say that throughout the scenes there is about 1" or 1,5" between Gould and Schwimmer, maybe more on 1 inch difference (Schwimmer's hairstyle is much more puffy though). Still I see Schwimmer at a weak 6'1".
Ace says on 20/May/09
Rob G, in Friends, when Elliot Gould and David Schwimmer were in a basement together, and have just realized they have accidentally destroyed all of Monica's old stuff, there is a scene where they are frantically looking around, and they actually did look very close in height.
Rob G says on 20/May/09
Well in Friends I saw a visible difference between Gould and Schwimmer, at very least 1 inch. Actually I also do not recall any episode where they looked the same height. Besides 6'4" Tom Selleck towered over Schwimmer in their barefoot scene. I can buy Schwimmer at 6'1", but nothing over, and probably he is a weak 6'1"er
Hugh 190cm says on 19/May/09
Actually Schwimmer looked similar in height to a now 6ft2ish Elliot gould.
Hugh 190cm says on 19/May/09
hmmmm. Keanu Reeves is a solid 6ft1 guy. 184cm is definately too low. I'd say Reeves and Schwimmer are 186cm respectively.
Rob G says on 14/May/09
Yep, IMO Schwimmer is a tall guy, but not as tall as 6'2", and probably not even a solid 6'1", more like a weak 6'1",I think.
OliTheMan says on 14/May/09
um i just watched the episode of Friends where 6"1" - 6"2" Fred Willard appeared, he was like 2 inches taller than David Schwimmer.
diego says on 8/May/09
no guys, 6'3 is just true for schwimmer
Doug says on 7/May/09
Schwimmer is about the same height as Keanu Reeves I think, a strong 6', weak 6'1" more like 6'0.5" (184cm).
Doug says on 7/May/09
6'3"?? LOL. He was dwarfed by legit 6'3" Elliot Gould and 6'3.5" Tom Selleck. The man is little over 6' 6'-6'1" barefoot, 6'2" in shoes MAX! Check out the pics with him and David WIlliams who is a legit 6'2"er. Schimmer is 184cm.
Anonymous says on 30/Apr/09
malone 6ft3 is a bit extreme. 6ft2 is possible. Personally I'd put Schwimmer at 6ft1-6ft1.5. In shoes I'm sure Dave could reach 6ft3 no problem. But barefoot he's 187cm.
malone says on 30/Apr/09
i claim schwimmer is a solid 6'3
Doug says on 24/Apr/09
Yep he gets a noticeable height boost in shoes alright Ian. Thats why he can look 6'2". Without shoes likely 6'0.5".
Doug says on 24/Apr/09
Actually Selleck doesn't "dwarf" Schwimmer. Thats a bit of an over statement. I see 3-3.5" height difference definately not near 5 inches. If Selleck is a legit 6'4" barefoot, then I think it easily possible that Schwimmer is a legit 6'1". If I was to hazard a guess though I'd guess Schwimmer was 6'0.5" and Selleck 6'3.5".
Doug says on 24/Apr/09
I've been watching Friends lately on E4 and have been watching Schwimmer closely. The more I watch it the more I increasingly think he is little or nothing over 6 flat. He was dwarfed by Elliot Gould by some three to four inches, and was dwarfed by Tom Selleck by four to five inches if he was a legit 6'1" the difference wouldn't have been so great. I've seen a number of scenes with him in his socks and he looks exactly like a 6 dead on the mark guy, especially next to Selleck. I think his real height is 6'0 or 6'0.5". I think he is 184cm and this adds up next to Walliams etc. Funny thing is before I learned of "Hollywood inches" I used to believe that he was 6'2". The more you watch the more you can see he is 6 flat and clearly not 6'2" compared to Gould and Selleck, this looks laughable. Remember in Friends he mostly had bouffed hair which makes him look taller. A weak 6'1" is his max out of bed I reckon I bet he barely scrapes the 6' mark by evening. I'd list him at 6'0"-6'0.5". Interesting Ian I hadn't seen Schwimmer next to the door panel. Yes it was me who left that comment on Sellecks page that he was an inch above the 6'3" panel. If Schwimmer was 3 inches below it barefoot then we have his real height at 6'0". What do you think Rob. Is it more likely Schwimmer is not quite 6'1"
peteyork says on 21/Apr/09
well if your english he is 6ft, with simon pegg, wailliams, jonathan ross he never looks 6'1 never mind 6'2. any chance of dropping him to 6ft 1/2 inch rob?
photos with 5'9 pegg would put him at 6ft, inch shorter, perhaps inch and a half shorter than Ross and 2 1/2 inches under walliams. He rounds up to 6'1 at the very least, or is measured straight out of bed.
Ace says on 16/Apr/09
Ian, Matt Leblanc may have suspicious footwear, it certainly wouldn't be the first time

barefoot scene with selleck at end
Hugh 190cm says on 13/Apr/09
Can look 6ft2. Personally I'd say 186-187cm and about 185lbs.
Doug says on 9/Apr/09
Wooaaa saw Friends earlier when he was getting his arse mole checked out by Chandler and Joey. Schwimmer was barefoot I think and was shorter than Matthew Perry in shoes. I would say that Schwimmer is actually only 6' or 184cm legitamtely barefoot. That would make sense in relation to David Walliams etc who is a legit 188-189.
Rob G says on 4/Apr/09
I think Rob's listning is spot on.
Rob G says on 1/Apr/09
Schwimmer's heigh listed here is about right, may be even dead on.
Hugh2 says on 20/Mar/09
But glenn do you think Alec is actually 6ft1?
glenn says on 20/Mar/09
i told you guys alec was 6-1 in the street to me alot last year.had some undetectable lifts on.
\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 20/Mar/09
Schwimmer looked the same height if not shorter than Alec Baldwin. It shows that Baldwin is a serious lift wearer. Both barefoot I'd say Schwimmer is 2 inches taller than Baldwin.
Ace says on 17/Mar/09
Anyway, he looks about 1.5-2 inches taller than perry here: Click Here
Ace says on 17/Mar/09
Ian, do you see the way schwimmer is standing? Jason lee is standing straight, and schwimmer has his legs twisted, and is leaning in.
Doug says on 8/Mar/09
David Walliams sorry is clearly taller than 6'2". He is almost as tall as 6'4" listed guys like James Cracknell and Vernon Kay. Walliams is nearer 6'3" without a doubt.
Doug says on 8/Mar/09
One thing is clear. Schwimmer has an easy 4 inches on 5'9" LeBlanc. I was watching it yesterday and Schwimmer was completely relaxed in posture and still had 4 inches on him. I would say 6'1" peak barefoot, 6'2" in shoes. Schwimmer has never been a legit 6'2" barefoot, these days looks around 6'0.5" to me.
ace says on 6/Mar/09
I doubt Ian that those shoes add 2 inches. Rob, out of curiousness, about how much would you guess those shoes add?

[Editor Rob: I'd say 1.4, that looks like a shoe where the top most part of the heel is above the highest part of the insole.

It's like Nike Free's. Looking at them you think 1.25 inch, but they are a bit concave inside and give more 1 inch...]
\_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 6/Mar/09
He's quite close to 6ft2 rob? an upgrade maybe. 186cm.
Anonymous says on 5/Mar/09
Look at his shoes Bam. There are massive. I've been saying this all along he wears massive shoes in friends always. The man is no where near 6'2. He's about 6ft2 in his shoes yes but not 6ft2 bearfoot. Those shoes look like 2inches of heel.
Rob G says on 5/Mar/09
Well of course it is silly, but it doesn't mean it is impossible,for example John Wayne, a very tall guy wearing lifts. I think that Schwimmer indeed makes use of chunky footwear at times, even though he is over 6'0"
bam says on 28/Feb/09
wears lifts? Thats silly. The man is close to 6'2, and has a choice for ugly clunky footwear.
Clay says on 22/Feb/09
Its not easy to judge because he was either beside someone who is kinda tall in his own (Perry, at 5'11.5) or an average guy who was jacked up on lifts (Le Blanc, standing close to 6'0 in his ''boots'').
Rob G says on 21/Feb/09
That"s why he is probably the heigh listed here, or a tad under. He never strucked me as a legit 6'2" guy, especially next to Elliot Gould or Tom Selleck. One thing is certain that he is 6'0" plus, if I were to guess I would say 6'0.75"
Rob G says on 18/Feb/09
Yeah but at times he could look 183cm, he is close to the height he is listed here, 6'0" to 6'1" range,not over though
luke says on 17/Feb/09
David Schwimmer is 6'1 (185 cm) tall.
Doug says on 14/Feb/09
I think 6'0.5" is more accurate look at the picture with Walliams. At least two inches difference.
Doug says on 14/Feb/09
Gabrielle Reece had about 2.5-3 inches on Schwimmer who is a legit 6'3" barefoot, in shoes at least 6'4". 6'1" is about right at the max, never 6'2". I thought he looked nearer 6'0.5" in comparison to Reece.
jonmim says on 6/Feb/09
we think he is well short because my friend jo yeah saw him and said he was like shorter than her and she is like 5'7'' yo blud
Rob G says on 2/Feb/09
Well I can buy him as tall as 6'0.5" , 6'0.75" (like 6'1" morning or something) but definatleyy in my eyes this guy is not 6'2' cuz for once if he is so how tall is Elliot Gould? 6'4" so prime 6'5" same case with Selleck, Scwimmer at 6'2" makes Selleck 6'5" and posiibly 6'6" in prime. Really that;'s hard to buy.
Clay says on 30/Jan/09
Schwimmer is more than 6'0 I can guarantee you that.
Big T says on 28/Jan/09
lol. Schwimmer was never 2-3 inches taller than Baldwin. Call it camera trickery or whatever you like, but there was no noticeable height difference in that episode. Baldwin looked taller as often as Schwimmer did. Al Gore looked taller than both of them.
Clay says on 26/Jan/09
On a TV show like thats its easy to tell the heights of the stars as a lot of the time they are in socks, and he always passed as 6'1-6'2. Le Blanc on the other hand..
Hugh says on 25/Jan/09
Schwimmer was actually 2-3 inches taller than Alec Baldwin.
anonymous says on 24/Jan/09
On friends he looks like a solid 6 footer but in reality he is 6 foot 1.
Big T says on 23/Jan/09
Amazing. Schwimmer looks shorter next to Baldwin than 5'11" Dane Cook does
George says on 20/Jan/09
He looks maybe half an inch taller than 6ft Baldwin, plus Schwimmer was wearing converse, and Baldwin dress shoes. So I think he is a strong 6'1, probably 6'1.25.

I think he definitely looks more than 6', he always looked like a big guy on friends, but he definitely didn't look as big as 6'2+.
Clay says on 18/Jan/09
Baldwin is 6'0'', to be fair.
Big T says on 18/Jan/09
ok, so Schwimmer is the same height as 6'3" Krasinski and 5'11" Alec Baldwin. Amazing.
Clay says on 17/Jan/09
Again doesnt mean Scwimmer is 6'3'' but it puts to rest the stupid claims that people make like '' 6'0-6'0.5''. Wake up and smell the roses you downgraders because its just nausiating.
Clay says on 15/Jan/09
And Krasinski falls under the ''easily'' category Hugh.
Hugh says on 10/Jan/09
Wow! Schwimmer is the exact same height as John Krasinski whose supposed to be at least 6ft3.
Hugh says on 9/Jan/09
Schwimmer 186-187cm
Perry 182-183cm
LeBlanc 178cm
Hugh says on 9/Jan/09
The full 6ft2 i'm not so sure about right now. He's certainly at least 6ft1. I do think he's a bit taller though.
anonymous says on 8/Jan/09
Im starting to believe 6`2 more and more: Click Here
Hugh says on 7/Jan/09
Glenn most of them I've seen up close or near enough to judge how tall they are. Fair few I've met.
Jan says on 3/Jan/09
I think he's arround 6 ft and 1/2" Look at youtube when he meets Gabrielle Reece: Click Here
glenn says on 28/Dec/08
exactly clay.hugh says the same thing.and hugh met some people too.
Clay says on 27/Dec/08
Everything points to a 6'1 minimum Schwimmer actually. And Glenn (you know...the guy who actually MEETS these people and gets their picture?) said he was clear as day 6'2''.
anonymous says on 24/Dec/08
Next to matthew perry there is a 4cm difference. David is 6 foot 1 even though he doesnt look it.
Hugh says on 9/Dec/08
My money's on 6ft2 or damn close to 6ft2.
anonymous says on 1/Dec/08
ian, there is no way willis is anything shorter than 5`11, and is probably closer to 5`11.5-6`0. and many will claim that he is closer 6`1.

I cannot say I'm 100% correct but I see this guy as a legit 6'0" maybe a shade under 6'1" in the morning, but next to Selleck or Gould he didn't look to me like a legit 6'1" or 6'2" guy. He has this kind of build that help him appear taller.
anonymous says on 22/Nov/08
If chandler is 180cm as people claim than ross is 185cm.
anonymous says on 19/Nov/08
Ross Fan, good pic, he does have quite a few against chris rock. my personal guess is still 6`0.5-6`1.25
Ross Fan says on 18/Nov/08
Hey next to 5'7" ben stiller.. David looks quite tall. definitely 6'1".. Another thing I wanted to say is That Matt Leblanc doesnt look quite as small next to david. so he is taller than the 5'8" - 5'9" people claim leblanc to be..

George says on 15/Nov/08
yes, but if you'd watch the video, you'd see he was slouching, and he was wearing converse.
Hugh says on 14/Nov/08
I saw about 2 inches between Selleck and Schwimmer. Selleck I think still is 6ft4. That makes Schwimmer 188cm.
anonymous says on 12/Nov/08
i was watching some old friends episodes, and it is interesting. At times, he did look only around 6`0, but at other times, when paired up with elliot gould, he only looked about an inch or 2 shorter. Plus, he had a about 2 inches on brad pitt, and 2-3 inches on bruce willis.
Ray says on 11/Nov/08
I agree with Matt. 6' for Schwimmer. Nothing more
Clay says on 11/Nov/08
At least 6'1''.
Milosh says on 9/Nov/08
6'2"?

Wow, that definitely seems generous. I have to admit though, I've never met the guy like some of you probably have - I'm only going by comparisons to Matthew Perry, whom I have come across before.
glenn says on 8/Nov/08
seemed 6-2 to me.
Hugh says on 8/Nov/08
Has always looked big to me. 6ft2 is possible.
George says on 1/Nov/08
Forget what I posted about 2 months ago, I think he is 6'1 & 1/4"

Look on Schwimmer's myspace at a mugshot pic

Click Here

That is a still from a coke advert, the video is on youtube. He seems maybe an inch above the 6ft line, but if you watch the few seconds before that on the video, you will see that he is slouching a lot, so that would be about 6'1.75". Near the beginning of the video, you can see that he is wearing converse, he was also wearing converse for the season of friends that this was filmed during. So if you take away half an inch that's 6'1.25"

Click Here

You also have Perry listed as 5'11.25", Ross was always about an inch taller than him on friends.
George says on 1/Nov/08

I think the difference between Schwimmer and gold always looked about 2 inches, not 3.

185/186 is perfect for David.
181/182 Matt Perry.
177/178 Matt LeBlanc.
Joey doesn't seem to be that much shorter as he always wears big boots

Matt, there was never 3 inches difference between elliot gould and schwimmer, it was closer to 1-1.5.
Matt says on 24/Oct/08
It is hard to believe that there are still people saying he is 6'2". Just watch this clip right here: Click Here

Pause it at 2.04 and 5.22. That is David Schwimmer vs 5'11" Larry David.

If you want to argue that there is a 3" difference there, then you are insane.

Schwimmer is around 6 foot. That is a *strong* height by any standard. A genuine six footer will beat most people. That is a fact.

Schwimmer looks "pretty big" and "pretty tall", because he was so obviously the tallest man on the Friends set. But as soon as the likes of 6'4" Tom Selleck or 6'3" Elliot Gould came along, Schwimmer was comprehensively owned.

Schwimmer: 6 feet
Perry: 5'10" - 5'10.5"
Le Blanc: 5'8" - 5'9"

I feel Le Blanc is the hardest one to get right. My hunch is that he is certainly on the shorter side, mainly because that even *with* his infamous lifts he is incapable of looking tall. Somebody who is a genuine 5'10"+ can at least give the impression of looking tall when they wear lifts (such as Perry)

i might buy 6`0 if he didn't have 2+ inches on bruce willis (and brad pitt) on friends.
George says on 21/Oct/08
No less than 6ft, nor more than 6'2
Milosh says on 17/Oct/08
He'd be 6'1" in sneakers. I'd give him a flat 6'0".
Big T says on 21/Sep/08
Well, I don't see Schwimmer 1 1/2 taller there anyway! It's tricky to compare because of the different posture but I think Baldwin looks a little taller, especially looking at shoulder height. Also the angle seems to favour Schwimmer....the top of their heads (accounting for Schwimmer's cap and Baldwin's good head of hair) is at a similar height, but Baldwin appears to me to be the bigger guy.

This pic (and that whole episode) suggests to me that Baldwin and Schwimmer are quite similar in height, which means (a) Baldwin is probably no shorter than the 5'11 1/2" listed here, even though a lot of people seem to think he is, and (b) Schwimmer may well be as low as 6' flat.
anonymous says on 20/Sep/08
Big T, to answer your question, schwimmer was in flats: Click Here
Big T says on 10/Sep/08
In an episode of 30 Rock, Schwimmer looked SHORTER than 5'11 1/2 listed Alec Baldwin (who has ppl at his page claiming he is under 5'11"!). How can this be?

In the same episode, Baldwin looked the same height as 6' 1/2" listed Al Gore. Is it possible that Baldwin wears lifts, Gore wears smaller lifts, and Schwimmer was in some very flat flats?
George says on 24/Aug/08
Monica comes up to just below ross' lip giving him about 7 inches on her. We KNOW that she is 5'5" because she has said so many times.

So he is 6ft
Clay says on 5/Aug/08
That looks like a little more than 4 inches over Pegg to me.

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.

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.
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?
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.
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.

thank you dmeyer.

exactly anonymous.usually one inch.

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.
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.
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.

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.]
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.]
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.
