Dicaprio might have been wearign perioud shoes in the premier of Blood Diamonds.
gasoline says on 17/Nov/08
I guess he s more 185 cm , look the same height of di caprio in the movie premier ...
Monique says on 11/Nov/08
well hes defo over six foot because Kimora is six foot and hes taller than her
James says on 27/Oct/08
Nah if Djmoun stood straighter there might be 2 inches? Was Djimon claiming 6ft4 in dress shoes straight out of bed?
says on 24/Oct/08
he look the same height of adam rodiguez Click Here
says on 24/Oct/08
There's a pictures of Hounsou next to Spielberg and he looks 183 185 cm .. no more.
James says on 6/Oct/08
Marcus Allen looks over 6ft2 like 6ft3.5?
Big King says on 30/Sep/08
Why isn't he clearly 6'4"?
Viper says on 23/Sep/08
He doesnt even look 6-0 with 5-8 Don Cheadle. Click Here

Could Hounsou just be 6-0? He looks 6-0 in the last 2 pictures Ive linked.
Viper says on 23/Sep/08
So Hugh, I guess 6-2 Marcus Allen is really pushing 6-5 then. Click Here
James says on 27/Aug/08
6ft1ish he can look
Robbie H says on 28/Jul/08
yeah but hounsou was barefoot in many of those scenes with leo-he does look 6-2
Mr.Clutch says on 18/Jul/08
Djimon Hounsou is not 188cm tall.Leonardo DiCaprio is 180cm tall,in the movie Blood Diamond, Djimon was walking with Leo in a lot of scenes,Djmon was 3cm taller than Leo.Djimon did not look like a 6'2 man when he was standing beside Leo(180cm).I think Djimon is probably 6 feet tall(183cm).
Chris175 says on 19/Apr/08
aw yeah i know what you mean now thanks rob
Chris175 says on 16/Apr/08
Editor Rob: this kind of shot easily masks several inches of height.

in the same way This Photo of me does not show me as 5ft 10.5 in a pair of converse...

I'm not over 5ft 8.7 in that pair of converse.]

rob can you explain to me again what you mean by this? you do look 5-10 here

[Editor Rob: see this image: Here.

Because the camera is not 5ft 8 high, the lower it is the more inches an object (i.e. my head) is in front of the ruler the taller I would look. It makes it worse aswell the closer the person taking the photo is.

This is why in many of the shots I have in my collection the one major thing I'm aware of and try to do is ensure i'm not closer than a celebrity.]
Hugh says on 15/Apr/08
Well James, If the man has been described as 6ft4 which I would almost beleive due to his frame, That makes him at least 6ft2. I personally think he's pushing 6ft3.
Viper says on 12/Apr/08
I still dont think he quite reaches a full 6-2. More 6-1 1/2 - 6-1 3/4. I guess a weak 6-2.
brother_h says on 10/Apr/08
theres a camra angle? ohh ok i see.

well anyway. in the pic quas posted, kimora would have been wearing heels. shes still listed at 6'0 though.
quas says on 8/Apr/08
Heres a pic of Djimon standing next to Kimora Lee who is listed at 6' on this site.

brother_h says on 4/Apr/08
ewon mgregor is 5'9. this guy looks like he can tower anyone but hhe doesnt by much. he looks 6'0 with glenn

[Editor Rob: this kind of shot easily masks several inches of height.

Hugh says on 28/Mar/08
A strong 6ft2. He was as tall as me when I walked past him in L.A.
C. says on 22/Dec/07
One of the entertainment shows stated him as 6'2", so I'm going with that. Nothing more, nothing less.
Robbie H says on 10/Dec/07
looks very tall in 'the island', towers ewan mcgregor, so i would say 6ft 2 is totally right
dmeyer says on 18/Sep/07
looks 6 ft in that pic but in person looked 188 cm
Daniel says on 17/Sep/07
He looked really big in the movie Gladiator. I would have sworn 6'3'' to 6'4''. So, at least 6'2'', unless he is a lift wearer, which would be ridiculous for a man of his size
mon says on 6/Sep/07
He looks like hes the same height as kimora lee. I thought he was 6 feet. I glad shes finally with a taller guy!
paddy says on 25/Aug/07
well, mates. judging by photos placed at gettimages.com of eragon premiere, and considering john malkovich as 185cm, then jeremy irons would me 188-9, djimon like 2-3 cm taller than irons, and edward speelers no more than 180. have no idea how to put a link in here. Click Here
AAAA says on 8/Jul/07
Well I was using a conversion calculator, so it is really specific. I am sure you could say 6'6 and about 6'4.5 and be fine.
AAAA says on 4/Jul/07
Franco,
Just in case you care. You are 6'5.9 and go down to 6'4.37. And IMO that is big. I now work with two brothers, one is almost 6'7 and the other is 6'4. I feel ridiculous next to them. They make me feel small at 6'2
dmeyer says on 4/Jul/07
i think hounsou is 6'2 he wears flat shoes and sloush that make him look 6'0.5 he does have about 3 in om leo
glenn says on 4/Jul/07
thanks jason for noticing.and explaining.im not an expert on that stuff.i seem to bloat up every winter though.this was the worst in awhile.i cant look sloppy like that for the ladies this summer and have to look better in general for the site,as alot around the world veiw it.id like to get down to 175 without losing muscle.but i see thats much harder than i thought.
Jason says on 4/Jul/07
Oh, that's just because you've gained muscle from the gym and lost a bit of fat. Even if you didn't lose any fat but just gained the extra muscle, it'll lean you out a bit because the amount of fat you have in proportion to your bodyweight will go down. And you've probably grown a bit since 1995 anyway in thickness -- men fill out until age 25 give or take, on average. Good job regardless! Your face is looking leaner -- I thought it was just because they were old pics but see now it's not! LOL
glenn says on 4/Jul/07
oh,btw,i was 185 in 1995 with a double chin and huge bloated gut that everyone commented on.usually fatter people.how is it that i look pretty decent now at the same or heavier weight? beats me.more muscle now? i hit weights on and off since i was 10.
glenn says on 4/Jul/07
weight is as tricky as height.or almost.i weighed a shocking 190,2 months ago.got disgusted,lost alot of my gut jogging,hitting the gym,and people noticed and complimented me.weighed myself the other day and im still 190.what the ****? i couldve sworn i lost at least 10 pounds.unless the scale is faulty.people were amazed i was that heavy then and now.i guess i have more muscle than i thought.thats puts me at obese level,yet im not obese.i look great lately actually.it makes no damn sense.unless my stomach is toned up great and it gave the illusion of losing weight.my gut was still better at its worst next to my friends.i cant figure it out.started working out again for the first time in a decade only 6 weeks ago actually.at a very slow pace.to avoid injury,which i have anyway.i knew i was low 180s.not that high.so,anything is possible for weight claims.being height and weight experts aint as easy as it seems.
Jason says on 4/Jul/07
Wild exaggeration I mean!
Derek says on 4/Jul/07
I know muscle weighs more than fat, but 250 pounds just doesn't sound right. Say Glenn weighs 170, Djimon doesn't look over 220.
Jason says on 3/Jul/07
Djimon might become a cult figure here for exaggeration if he keeps this up. lol
JohnP says on 3/Jul/07
Hahaha, if he is 250 pounds, then I am 400. :D

Just a joke, but I can eat my hat if he really weighs 250.
Viper says on 2/Jul/07
He doesnt look linebacker size to me.
Jason says on 2/Jul/07
He looked 200 in Blood Diamond.
Anonymous says on 2/Jul/07
I'd say he looks about 6'2, maybe 210-220.
Jason says on 2/Jul/07
6'4'', 6'5'', 250lbs?!?! Far out ... this fella's nuts!! :D
glenn says on 1/Jul/07
did you see that pic down below of him with ewan mccgregor? he looks 6-4 there.ewan is 5-10.5 stretched out.ewan looks 5-8 in the illusion of a photo.
mofo says on 1/Jul/07
I know according to my friend hes roughly 6ft1 or there abouts but thats what he stated I have never met him but what my friend said and the photo with glenn (albeit he is hunching)I reckon no more than 6ft2, funny thing is my friend swears he is under this in the range of 6ft0.5 to 6ft1!.
anonymous says on 1/Jul/07
who does he think he's kidding with that 6`4 remark. clearly nowhere near it.
mofo says on 30/Jun/07
I have never met him but one of my friends has met him in L.A and said he was 6ft0.5-6ft.1
Was a little moody according to my friend and he asked him his height and weight in which he replied 6ft4 and 250lb.
17,181 says on 30/Jun/07
If I had to judge by this pic,I'd say 6'0.5,but take away the lean and you get 6'1.5. nice photo Glenn.
JohnP says on 30/Jun/07
Rob, didn't Franco said that his father was 6-2 and that he was 6-4 if I remember it correctly? I can't remember that he ever said he was 6-2, although I didn't find this site until August 2006, so maybe he said that earlier.

As for Honsou, I think about 6-2 is right.

[Editor Rob: Franco said 7 months ago he was 185cm, although he gave the incorrect inches as 6ft 2 ;) He knows what I'm on about...]
Jason says on 30/Jun/07
He looked 6'1 1/2''-6'2'' to me in Blood Diamond.
Daniel Craig says on 29/Jun/07
He looks huge next to Russell Crowe in Gladiator and at that time I thought he (Crowe) was at least a 6 footer. How wrong I was....
Anthony says on 29/Jun/07
I think he's 6'2 flat.
TheJerk says on 29/Jun/07
Wow, he looks a lot smaller in the picture than I thought of him as.
AAAA says on 28/Jun/07
Franco... your 6'3.5 is at night right? I thought you said you were like 198 in the morning down to 194 at night? Just curious

[Editor Rob: Franco cannot decide which height he is! In 2006 he stated he was 6ft 2...then he grew to 6ft 4!]
dmeyer says on 28/Jun/07
he is a lidl leaning so looks 6 ft so max 6'2 he didnt look under 6'2 when i met him by that mark leo is a lidl under 6 ft
Cat Stevens says on 28/Jun/07
No more than 6'1 here
glenn says on 28/Jun/07
he isnt a foot behind me.3 inches at most.maybe 2.
Viper says on 28/Jun/07
Hounsou looked a legit 6-3 in the Beverly Hills 90210 pilot playing a bouncer.
Viper says on 28/Jun/07
Looks more 6-0 1/2 there. Probably the shortest ive ever seen him look.
Bad Radio says on 28/Jun/07
he looks 6-1 in that pic.
Gonzalo says on 28/Jun/07
Not good pic to judge Hounsou`s height. He`s slouching and Glenn is closer to the camera. Again, Glenn`s words are our best assets. And Dmeyer words too. The rest of us only guess.
What shoulders he has!
ER. says on 28/Jun/07
I think he's 6-1 1/2 - 6-2. Doesn't look over that. A solidely tall dude.
Pete says on 28/Jun/07
Look 6'0''-6'0.5'' , no more than 6'1''.
glenn says on 28/Jun/07
viper is right this time.and other times too.even if i feel he downgrades too much.he is more accurate than others on the site.thats for sure.
glenn says on 27/Jun/07
james- i said last week he looked a weak 6-2,or 6-1ish when this was taken.he had flats on and is leaning in a bit.that photo with ewan down below is a kick.he looks 6-4 and ewan looks 5-8.an illusion i hope.
Viper says on 27/Jun/07
"Anonymous says on 27/Jun/07
viper 6'1 12 /PLEAZE SERIOUSLY DUDE UR INSANE"

Your just jellous that Im usually right, and Glenn actually agrees with me now :) A shade under 6-2 for Hounsou.
danius says on 27/Jun/07
camera angle hes a good foot behind glenn
Jack Daniels says on 27/Jun/07
He must be slouching a lot!! A 6'2" guy appears a way taller than that, beside a 5'8" guy like Glenn.
Boxing Fighter says on 27/Jun/07
Glenn is looking pretty tall in that picture. Next to Glenn (in that picture) Djimon is looking no more than 6ft0.5.
Anonymous says on 27/Jun/07
I think that's cuz Pitt is a 5'10n:er
Anonymous says on 27/Jun/07
The pic with Djimon Hounsou,Bono and Pitt shows Pitt as 5'10''n:er.

djimon looked 188 189 cm when i met him and he is defenetly 2.5 in taller than leo
AirSky says on 22/May/07
What do you make of this?...

Click Here

Ewan McGregor & Djimon Hounsou in "The Island".
McGregor is listed here as 5'9.5" (177 cm), I'm not sure looking at this picture though
Viper says on 29/Apr/07
6-2 Marcus Allen looks 6-4 in the picture with him, but he looks 6-4 a lot. Though I personally dont think Hounsou quite hits the 6-2 mark. Looks more 6-1 1/2-6-1 3/4 to me.
dmeyer says on 25/Apr/07
i agree 188 cn no less no more
dmeyer says on 22/Mar/07
he might no be over 6'2 but he is no less hey rob do you remember how tall he looked near freeman
anonymous says on 6/Mar/07
At the blood diamond premiere, he had DeCaprio by a few inches, yet he and actor Paul Bettany stood the same height. Paul Bettany is 6'3 or 6'3 and a half.
Glenn says on 11/Feb/07
I saw him a month ago.at least 6-2.
ed says on 10/Feb/07
He looks shorter than 6'2'' Marcus Allen:
Click Here
dmeyer says on 20/Dec/06
in person he looks 188 189 cm no less than 188 and mo more than 189
dmeyer says on 20/Dec/06
if he is 6'2 flat then leo is a lidl under 6 feet
dmeyer says on 20/Dec/06
didnt look mush over 6'2 when i met him so possibly 188 flat or 6'2.25 6'2 strong like 6'2.5 morning and 6'2 at night then dicaprio is under 6 feet is he the same as freeman taller shorter ? rob

[Editor Rob: freeman possibly has lost 0.5cm, I remember an interview where it seemed that he implied he was "just under" 6ft 3, this from the 90's although didn't say it directly to interviewer. Actually he looked tall still in sum of fears, he done a scene with Ciarin Hinds who is 6ft...]
Viper says on 19/Dec/06
He could be one of those rare 6-1 3/4 type dudes.
dmeyer says on 18/Dec/06
we werent on the exact same floor but 6'2 alidl over 6'2

[Editor Rob: 6ft 2 flat, yes I think that is probably originally his modelling height aswell, probably closer. Ralf moeller really did make him look this mark....so]
Viper says on 18/Dec/06
He did look 6-2 minimum in blood diamond.
dmeyer says on 17/Dec/06
he could be 6'4 in 1.5 dress shoes
dmeyer says on 17/Dec/06
in person looks a lidl under6'3 like 188 to 189 range thank rob
Ball-A-Hallic says on 2/Dec/06
Hounsou seems about 6'2 maybe 6'1.5 cause Duncan is 6'3 he stood by dwade and shaq and dwade(6'4) had an inch and in a pic with duncan and will ferrel(6'3) duncan had about two inches maybe and inch and a half so ferrell is no more than 6'2
Viper652 says on 1/Dec/06
Ed, he did look over 6-3 in the pilot episode of Beverly Hills 90210, but that show makes everyone taller.
dmeyer says on 30/Nov/06
in he pics he looks similar height with dicaprio but the floors are uneven dicaprio might wear 1.5 to 2 inches lifts to not look too small near hounsou
Ed says on 25/Oct/06
I saw Hounsou outside a restaurant in 2005, and he looked between 6ft2 and 6ft3, I was about 15 feet away so I can't be too accurate, but he's not 6ft1.
Viper652 says on 21/Sep/06
I have no idea why he says he is 6-5. He looks 6-1.
mous says on 20/Sep/06
We might be able to judge the heights a little better since there is an upcoming movie called "Blood Diamond" where Hounsou is played opposite DiCaprio. The trailer can be seen here:

Click Here

There does not seem to be much of a noticable height difference between the two. They look the same height.
6 foot 1.5, 16, still growing says on 22/Jan/06
i believe that michael duncan is a good 6 3.5. makes hounsou about 6 foot 1.5 to 6 foot 2. Trust me editor Rob, I have a good vibe about this.
dmeyer says on 2/Jan/06
i met him a year ago he lookes in the 188 190 range
Viper652 says on 2/Jan/06
Duncan is 6-3. Which makes Hounsou in the 6-1 range.
MJD says on 25/Jul/05
I just finished watching access hollywood where hounsou comments on his height saying "i am 6'5 195lbs...alot taller than most celebrities"..And he does honestly look around that.

[Editor Rob: beside Ralf Moeller in gladiator he just doesn't look that...]
