Dear hugewhofan, Davies is 6 ft 6, that's probably why. Haha.

Having watched, 'Doctor Who' and 'Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire', I hesitate not in agreeing with the facts which suggest that he is a strong 6'1", 1.86 m, 186 cm and is a fantastic actor.

i can't believe that David Tennant is so tall! He is shorter than Russel T. Davies, which is an even bigger suprise!

Hard guy to pin down. Can look anywhere between 6ft-6ft2. Ron is over or under 6ft1 more likely?

I don't have an evidence but a retired teacher from my school looks really similar with David Tennant and he has grey hair. Perhaps you saw him?! O.o
you can see how he looks like in youtube. type tiffin girls school in the search bar and click on the one with a man with a grey hair

I agree with 'Chris' about David Tennant standing firmly, minus plinth, in the 186cm camp. I walked past somebody who looked like Tennant yesterday, and the gentleman was topping out at the 1.86m mark. I’m not sure if it was the Scottish actor as his hair was unusually grey, though this could have been a wig, which presumably would have added countless millimetres to the equation. I am six feet five inches tall – honest – and have poor eyesight, though I was wearing my glasses. Both my steep vantage point and the bizarre quality of my refracted vision could account for the strange concavity I observed in Tennant's face. 'Tennant'.

In conclusion, would the gentleman who passed me on Tavistock Square yesterday evening please contact CelebHeights.com with photographic evidence of the following:
a. his height
b. him being David Tennant

My own 1956mm frame prevents me from visiting the local opticians as they have a low ceiling; proof positive of my recent brush with celebrity would therefore save both time and money. Before anybody replies, I should say that I tried to verify the resemblance by zooming in on a photo of DT I found online, but the closer I got the more his features went out of focus. Needless to say, this result did nothing to boost a sagging confidence in my own faculties of perception.

Maybe your taller than you think!!

I have something to add to Chris's rather uncompromising post. I met David twice, both times on the set of Doctor Who. Standing next to him, we were both wearing the same shoes (All Star Converse), both standing straight, both times, and he was easily my hiehgt (6'1"), possibly sligtly smaller, but no less that 6'0.5" for sure. If he had been further away I would have guessed taller, maybe 6'3", but up close he really was the same as me. So there you have it. 2 conflicting posts, both with evidence and experience to back them up. Leave it to be public to decide :)
P:S, if you look at David next to the TARDIS in Doctor who, the height of the TARDIS door is about 83 inches, try to figure it out from that if you want, bearing in mind that he may be leaning on the inside of the door and taking into account the size of the TARDIS base and caps...
