he's a tall guy - i met him a little while ago. not INCREDIBLY tall but still pretty tall. and because he's very slender, he looks even longer =)

Snoodle says on 22/Jun/08
Agreed he's about 6' 1" (why would he lie :p?) and as stated below, that's not counting the massive presence of his hair...which is really a celebrity of it's own XD

he was a good 5 inches taller than derren brown, in his barefeet, on his show. If Brown is 5ft 9 then Tennant is 6ft 2.

I dont think DT is 6.1 or 6.2.

In the other nights episode, he was standing in a door way, now a door way is approx 6ft or 6.5 depending on differences.

He came to at least 4 or 5 inches lower than the lintle, witch is where i basically measure, and i just scrape under 6ft, barely. so im guessing DT is approx 6ft, slightly taller than me.

I work with a guy who is 6.5, and he is massive, to say DT is 6.2 i dont blelieve, cos if he was, hed duck everytime he enters the tardis.

i think that david is a litle taller than 6 ft1 because when freemer is wearing
heels she only comes up to his shoulder

Bruce says on 19/Apr/08
6'1" is very accurate for DT because Catherine Tate is just underneath the top part of his head and she is 5'8" making his 5 inches taller than her. I am a 5'10.5" and i am very good at telling peoples height. For a guy to described as "TALL" he has to be 6'1.5" and above because average heights depending on different countries start from 5'8" to 6'0". Anytime i go out I seem to be very tall than most people and anytime i feel short then am probably standing beside a 6'3" person or above.

Sam Troy says on 6/Apr/08
John Barrowman is 6'0", and David Tennant seems quite a bit taller than him, so I'd say he's about 6'1.5" or 6'2".

Richey, if he was the same height as your 5'9 sister when she was in 3 inch heels, how does that make him 6'0 to 6'1? Three inch heels give a little over 2 inches in truth, so she was probably standing at less than 5'11.5. He was in shoes too presumably, so you're anecdote suggests he is 5'11.5 in shoes or around 5'10.5 barefoot. That said, I think he's certainly taller than that.

Richey says on 9/Dec/07
He's either 6 foot or 6'1...he was the same height as my 5'9" sister when she wore 3 inch heels...if you didn't inculde the height of his hair.

Someone being very slim doesn't make them 'seem' taller! My BF is very slim, much like David Tennant, and 6ft 2!

LC says on 17/Nov/07
I really didn't think DT was 6ft 1! That's taller than I thought he was. I guess was a little taller than Peter Davison in last night's Children in Need thing and this site has Peter down as 6ft.

Ted says on 27/Oct/07
Becky, my wife is 5'9 im 6'1. Even when she is in high heels, Im still 2-3 inches taller. Unless you are wearing 6" heels, and if he is in normal shoes 1" he will still be slightly taller. 6" heels still wont give you over 4" in height. You would need to gain 5".

AD says on 25/Jun/07
Hahaha..yes I agree on both points there Claz, even though I'm english!... definately 6'1" ...plus definately the most charismatic presence on the TV at the moment, both 'in character' and in real life on behind the scenes, interviews, documentaries etc.

Claz says on 20/Jun/07
I think he is 6'1 why would he lie about his height. Also david tennant is the best actor in the uk. Mon the scots

6'3'' JK says on 26/May/07
He is not tall as 6'1'', more likely 5'11'' - 6'0'' max

Anonymous says on 28/Apr/07
i absolutely LOVE him
his height and his charismatic personality while acting just makes me completely fall for him

Anonymous says on 14/Apr/07
becky i'm 6ft 1 and my gf is 6ft2 so don't know how you can say that when you are a mere 5ft9.

fetish dude says on 31/Mar/07
well he may be tall but i wouldn't care if he was smaller just so i get to see his sexy feet! cant believe he was barefoot for the entire episode today! omg!

Becky says on 21/Mar/07
As a 5'9" woman, 5'10" for a man certainly does seem very small LOL. Not sure 6'1" is tall enough either - I wouldn't be able to wear heels. Unless of course he did too :-)

MT says on 2/Feb/07
lmao, 5'10" isn't 'very small' btw

Carrie says on 30/Sep/06
LOL When I first saw him on film, I thought he was a very small man - about 5"10. Since I LOVE tall men - I was kinda cool about the whole Dr Who role.... but when I found out he was 6"1 - I almost swooned. LOL

Philip says on 5/Jun/06
6'1'' is about right. Chris Eccleston is 6'2'' without a doubt and eccleston looks taller than Tennant when he stands next Billie Piper.

AJ1983 says on 27/Dec/05
Usually when someone - like David - is very thin, they look taller than they actually are; David is taller than I expected. I had him down at about 5'11"

Said about a co-star, "that's why his love rival is Rupert Penry Jones, who's 6ft 2in". Hmm, I'm not sure about Rupert. He done the four feathers with Heath ledger, but for life of me can't remember if he was same size/taller.

CelebHeights Editor says on 8/May/05
Said in Metro: "How tall are you? ....I'm 6ft 1 in"
