He doesn't look legit 6'1" at all (see him next to Selleck, Gould etc.). Weak 6'1"/strong 6ft on the other hand is most probably correct.
Clay says on 23/Feb/10
this guy is simply 6 foot 1 imo. legit.
Shaun says on 11/Feb/10
Exactly Ray. He's barely over 6'. Selleck was more like 3.5 inches taller than him. Also look at the David Walliams pics. If he was 187cm Walliams he is 189cm would look barely taller. He is more than 2 cm taller!!! Easily 5 cm.
Yaspaa says on 9/Feb/10
Yeah 184.
dmeyer says on 6/Feb/10
he is 1 in on perry so 6 ft 0.25
Rob G says on 29/Jan/10
I agree with Shaun, Ray and peteyork. Solid 6ft/weak 6'1" for Schwimmer.
peteyork says on 27/Jan/10
Ray what you say ties up with his appearance on the ross show, and pictures with pegg and williams. Also kinda makes sense with Pitt's appearance on the show. 6'1 seems very doubtful to me even given his posture.
Don Samos says on 27/Jan/10
i watched the Band of Brothers episode with David and realized he was almost the same height as everyone else on the sets,definitely a 180 cm and not more.
Ray says on 27/Jan/10
191cm/252lbs: Selleck claimed 6'3.5" in 1981. He was in friends in the mid to late 90's and he was in his 50's. There is every chance he had lost a 1/4 -1/2" by then so he may well have been hovering around 6'3". Now put Schwimmer beside him and tell me he is 6'1 -6'1.5". There was AT LEAST 3" difference between them.
191cm/252lbs says on 26/Jan/10
Ray I agree on your estimate on Sellecks height. He's probably a little under 6"4 these days. Schwimmer at 182cm is complete bull though. perry at 181cm is reasonable seeming hes listed at that height. Schwimmer looks 6"1-6"1.5 when standing tall.
Shaun says on 26/Jan/10
Actually I measured the top panel on my door and it is 6'2.5". So Selleck in Friends being an inch above barefoot makes perfect sense assuming this is standard. If so, Schwimmer is around 184cm, possibly flat 6' evening height. I really do not think he is under 6'. I see him as a strong 6' weak 6'1" kind of guy. Anything below 6' for Schwimmer is bull. He regularly looked 4 inches taller than 5'8.5" Matt Le Blanc and looked a weak 6'1" next to Gould and Selleck. 6'0.5" is my best estimate. He looked this compared to 6'3" Gabrielle Reece too.
Shaun says on 26/Jan/10
Sorry Ray I disagree.

Schwimmer 184cm (6'0.5)
Selleck 192cm (6'3.5")
Perry 182 cm (5'11.5")
Ray says on 20/Jan/10
current heights IMO (barefoot, midday, rounded to nearest cm and in brackets the height they could claim in inches).

Schwimmer 182 cm (6')
Selleck 191 cm (6'3.5")
Perry 181 cm (5'11.5")
Rob G says on 17/Jan/10
I agree completely Shaun.
Shaun says on 17/Jan/10
Not even 6'1". Selleck who claims 6'3.5" barefoot and to me looks 100% correct had no less than 3 inches on Schwimmer, more 3.5 inches. Schwimmer is barely above 6', look at the David Walliams pics for a legit 6'2". Schwimmer is about 184cm. In clumpy shoes at times he can pull off a close 6'2" impression.. But trust me. Also the top of the panel on standard door is 6'3" and in Friends Selleck was about an inch above it barefoot and Schwimmer 2-3 inches shorter than it. He is also an inch taller than Matthew Perry who is 5'11.5"-5'11.75 so for Schwimmer 184-85 makes perfect sense.
Hugh 190-192cm says on 9/Jan/10
187cm out of bed
Hugh 190-192cm says on 9/Jan/10
I think 185-186cm is bang on.
Ray says on 4/Jan/10
Editor Rob posted that Selleck mentioned in 1981 TV guide that he was 6' 3.5" so that pulls Scwhimmer down to 6' IMO. He looked at least 3" shorter in friends.
ME says on 27/Dec/09
6'1" seems about right
he's obviousley an inch (more or less) taller than 5'11.75" perry at friends, so...
Lenad says on 26/Dec/09
Probably 185.7cm out of bed
Jacob says on 25/Dec/09
In the episode of 'Friends' with Brad Pitt he looked about an inch taller than Pitt, and Pitt is listed here as 5'11 ... he never really looked 6'1" to me, i'd probably go for 6'0" or 6'0.5".
mike says on 9/Dec/09
doesn't look much over 6 ft in friends. not even 6'1" imo.
Rob G says on 30/Nov/09
Well, I see then we agree on this one Clay, I think he is 6'1" (maybe a tad over in the morning) to 6.05" or 6'0.25" late evening. Btw I go by midday height, so I'll call him 6'0.75".
Clay says on 28/Nov/09
OK Ray well you have him at a weak 6'0 afternoon which would be like 6'1 out of bed which isnt far off where I have him. I go by morning height BTW.
Rob G says on 22/Nov/09
He never looked over 6'1" to me in FRIENDS, look at him next to Selleck or Gould. He is a weak 6'1".
Ray says on 20/Nov/09
I think you're deluded Clay...IMO. In curb your enthusiasm he was only an inch taller than Larry David (5'11"). I saw Curb last night and there was a police line-up and LD only looked 5'9-10". He was well under the 6' mark. There is ZERO chance of Schwimmer even approaching 6'1". He was totally owned by Selleck (6'4") who may have even lost half an inch by then. There's no way a guy 6'1- 6'1.5" would look that short.
Clay says on 20/Nov/09
Under 6'0 is even more ridiculous than 6'2. The guy is a clear 6'1-6'1.5 looked it in every episode.
Rob G says on 18/Nov/09
Good 6'1" out of bed, throughout the day he is a weak 6'1".
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Nov/09
187cm out of bed and 185cm at night. 186cm is bang on
rob89 says on 16/Nov/09
I agree Ray, no way is Schwimmer 6'2 or even 6'1. He never struck me as anything over 6'1 in photos and onscreen, which means he's most likely a bit under that. The pic of him and Baldwin says it all really, this guy is no more than 6'.5 at his absolute tallest. I'd say he's roughly that height straight out of bed, 6' flat for most of the day, and just under 6' at night.
Ray says on 11/Nov/09
I'm amazed people think he's even 6'1" never mind 6'2". The guy was totally dwarfed by Selleck. If you compare Schwimmer against the likes of Selleck and Gould you'll notice he's actually very slight. This gives a false impression of height on camera. He's very close in height to Perry and appears to be only marginally taller than LeBlanc. It wouldn't suprise me at all if he's under 6'. I would put a lot of money on him being 5'11.5 - 6' barefoot afternoon height.
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.

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?

nah, strong 6ft1 for me. 186cm. 6ft3 is absurd though.

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.

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.

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.
\-_-_-(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.

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.

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.

If chandler is 180cm as people claim than ross is 185cm.

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.
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
anonymous says on 26/Oct/08
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)
anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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!
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.
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?
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.

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.]
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.
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.
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.
