He's leaning back in this, so add 1-2 inches to his height. Anonymous KinG says on 18/Apr/08
Most of time he apear like 188.. Nixers says on 15/Apr/08
You should check out more photos on google because Bana is really at least one and a half inches shorter than Ferrigno and also this photo gives you clearence that between Bana and Ferrigno is a clear difference. Nixers says on 12/Apr/08
I think we should give Bana 6'2" because he looked at leat an inch shorter than Lou Ferrigno, who is 6'3" now. dmeyer says on 8/Apr/08
glen is about172 cm bana 19 thatsa 17 cm differance i se more 14 cm but i steel think bana is 6 ft 2.25 Jeff says on 1/Apr/08
Eric Bana is 6'2.5". period.
And RobertJ... he doesn't look that huge next to her, I don't see it, he looks pretty much like a 6'2" guy... gary says on 13/Mar/08
With shoes on im 6'3.5 and i know that 5'8 comes to my lower lip and 5'9.5 to the tip of my nose and 5'11 to my eye level, he looks about 6'2 but this is if they were both flatfooted, now i am really 6'2.25 barefoot and i know what im talking about, im not guessing i really know Bobby says on 4/Mar/08
looks 6'3" on this photo. dude says on 3/Mar/08

He's always looked tall to me, and looks 6'-2" in that picture, but just saw him lined up on the Leno show with Leno and Catherine O'Hara. He was about 2 1/2" taller than Leno, and no more than 6" or 7" taller than O'Hara, who is supposedly 5'-4" and was probably wearing heels. Is it possible he's more like 6'-1"? Anonymous says on 29/Dec/07
In this article he's calles 189cm. Click Here J.J.F says on 20/Dec/07
Not to want to be repetative - but Bana is the one 'star' I've actually seen up close in the flesh, in 2001 while standing in line for a buffet in Morocco.
He had at LEAST 2" inches (possibly more) on my 6'and-a-bit, and was also wearing sandals. Friendly bloke too - he left some scampi for the people behind him when there was very little left :)
Think his agent may have downgraded him a bit in the past so as not to scare of casting directors.... RobertJ says on 27/Sep/07
Not the best angle but Bana looks huge next to 5'4'' McAdams.
Click Here ras says on 13/Jul/07
Bana looks shorter cause the tip of his nose doesn't reach Glenns top of the head. RobertJ says on 29/May/07
Bana has very narrow shoulders, although not evident in the Glenn's pic, which can make him look smaller in comparison to Jackman. glenn says on 22/May/07
i dont know where the pic is and its horrible.he is behind me several feet and im not looking in.jackman gives the illusion of being taller than bana. OutBenchThis says on 22/May/07
Hey Glenn, did Jackman appear bigger than Bana? They both look around 6'2.5" mark but Bana in the pic with you looks flat on 6'2" so what about Jackman? Is rob going to post it up?
[Editor Rob: I've never seen it, glenn mentioned something about it not being good to show height?] Fox says on 19/May/07
he looks 6'3 glenn says on 19/May/07
he appeared 6-2.i have a bad photo with jackman. Korben says on 19/May/07
nice finally getting a pic with bana, now we need one with Jackman, where was this taken? Looks about 6'3 in that pic, big dude. Anonymous says on 18/May/07
He looks at least 6'2 in that picture. Irshgrl500 says on 17/May/07
Eric is tall and handsome. In my opinion he has been completely miscast as Henry VIII in the upcoming movie "The Other Boleyn Girl". Henry VIII was 6'2", as Eric appears to be. Their height is the only thing he and the 16th century King seem to have in common, as far as appearances go. Viper says on 17/May/07
He looks 6-2. Anonymous says on 16/May/07
Look at glenns picture with Tony Hawk. Thats 6'3.
Bana is a strong 6'2 if you will. Anonymous says on 16/May/07
Glenn's leaning too though Anonymous says on 16/May/07
looks like a solid 6'3 Drew says on 16/May/07
Eric Bana is clearly leaning in the pic. Looks a solid 6'3" guy. Alex says on 15/May/07
He's looking 6'2.5 with Glenn. dmeyer says on 15/May/07
i agree bana loose aleast 0.75 in by his position Fox says on 15/May/07
6'2-6'3 id say dmeyer says on 15/May/07
pitt can look in under bana so 5'11 for pitt even in public Boxing Fighter says on 15/May/07
Yeah RobertJ.
The photo is very conclusive.
If he was wearing regular shoes, 6ft2 to 6ft3. Anthony says on 15/May/07
Looks an even 6'2.
[Editor Rob: with Bana I can see that Glenn has slight upward head tilt, bana has a slight downward head tilt. Both bana/dicaprio have very subtle head tilts almost the same (in caprio case he doesn't look like he's got a sideway lean though) but glenn can have that too.
Anyway, one eye is raised above the effective horizontal line. If you have their heads horizontal, their eyeline would look more like the lines drawn in the picture below, but of course to me its more obvious bana has a downward tilt than leo has, I would add an easy 1/2 inch (probably nearer 1) to that eyelevel line I drew for bana if he had his head tilted looking more neutral ahead.
what I'm jabbering about.
] RobertJ says on 15/May/07
Photo proves it, no less than 6'2''. glenn says on 15/May/07
yes,a hotel.he was very nice.during the hulk,he was a jerk i heard.i was surprised he was 6-2.i thought he was taller. TheJerk says on 15/May/07
He looks just on 6-2 (maybe) if he stood straighter here. It is more evidence that Glenn is the height he claims though. Editor Rob says on 15/May/07
I remember seeing chopper in 2001 and thinking that guy has a chance of being big, he did look tall in that film. This was a hotel you're outside? wgileso says on 6/Apr/07
6'3 6'4 I have had the pleasure of meeting him same height regular shoes Anonymous says on 19/Mar/07
I looked at the traoy premiere pics in teh Eric Bana entry of Yahoo pics. Angle of photos give different impressions but looking them all ove I have to say bana is around three inches taller than pitt. Of course i'm not sure how tall he is. Dan says on 11/Mar/07
From what I have seen of him, I think he is exactly 3 inches taller than Pitt. So 6'2 seems likely- Jordan says on 20/Dec/06
there is alot of evidince this guy could be 6'2.5--why 6'2.25 on here
[Editor Rob: the geezer said it, a little over 6ft 2...he could have said 6ft 2.5.
A little by my book is 1/4 an inch] Jason says on 20/Nov/06
I can't see him any shorter than 6'1 3/4''. Aussie Bloke says on 19/Nov/06
I agree with anonymous, he does appear around the same height as pitt in the premiere pics, and his hair gives the impression he is taller than what he actually is! I think he may be only 6ft-6ft1, that is of course in bair feet Anonymous says on 1/Nov/06
In the premiere pics of troy he looked around the same height as pitt. Miiiiiiighty says on 31/Oct/06
He never looks like a dwarf when crossing Lou Ferrigno in Hulk ( and he's wearing a bike helmet! ) ..
No way he's taller then 6'1 Jason says on 21/Oct/06
Weird. I thought he only looked around 6'2'' in Munich. Dave says on 20/Oct/06
I'm surprised that Bana's six-two, in the movie Munich, he looked to be about six-five but then again he was probably wearing big shoes to make him fit his character. dmeyer says on 12/Oct/06
in most premiere pic of troy pitt looks 3 inches smaller than bana so 5'11 dmeyer says on 12/Oct/06
188 189 make since he didnt look a full 3 inches on burrows also thats whi pitt in elevator looked only 2 inches shorter i think that even in lifts brad reach about 6'1.5 so looks about 6'0.5 john says on 4/Oct/06
I saw a pic of Bana next to Lou Ferigino and he was more than an inch shorter. I met Lou with my friend Jack who is 6'3" and they were the same height. I'd say Bana is closer to 6'1" in the pic next to 6'3" lou. john says on 4/Oct/06
Funny, Bana dosen't look that tall to me. Banzai Bob says on 19/Jul/06
He's definatly not under 6'2, maybe more than 6'3, maybe he's lying so he isn't too tall for some roles. Jordan says on 25/Jun/06
He is noticably taller then 5'11 Brad Pitt and looks to be about 6'2 or 6'3. Not under 6'2 though. Sadiq says on 6/Jun/06
well in my opinion, we shud cut an inch out of bana, jackman or whoevers height as in the pics they all woud be wearing shoes & cofeecakes u say u r 6 n wearin 3 inch shoes so jackman must b wearin sum shoes so hes 6'1 n half at max I m 184-185cm at night 12 am and in morning can go 2 range of 186-187cm n midday 186cm barefoot dat is so make sure wat u say Coffeecakes says on 11/May/06
To me he has to at least be 6'3. I have seen some people mention that Hugh Jackman is actually 6'3 but says 6'2 so that he won't be labeled "too tall" for roles. You have Tyler Mane listed as 6'10 and he had a fight scene where he and Eric were wearig sandals, and Tyler did not look 8 inches taller. He didn't look that much taller in fact. This is a small clip, but if you watch the actual movie, Tyler isn't 8 inches taller, more like 6 or 5 inches.
Click Here ellen says on 8/May/06
Bana IS 6 foot 4 - Jackman IS 6 foot 3.5 - notice that all the actors who are tall are all 6 foot 2?? That is the height that publicists always use (that and 5'11" for the short ones) I am 6' even - met both of them and in high heels (3 inches) almost looked Jackman dead eye level and Bana was taller than me. If you look enough, you will find early press on both of these actors in Australia and it lists the heights. Jason says on 30/Mar/06
Actually, Rob said Lou looked almost 6'3'' - he agreed with 189-190cm. Eric Bana does look 6'2'' to me, though. I believe Bana is slightly shorter than 6'2 1/2'' Hugh Jackman. Could Eric be slightly below 6'2''? POSSIBLY. I think the more likely explanation is that Lou was wearing large footware to appear taller against Eric than he is, though. Elio says on 29/Mar/06
Now with Ferrigno re-graded to 6'3" ... does this mean Bana could be 6'2" or less? He appeared more than a inch shorter than Ferrigno in those photos. I don't know what to believe anymore. Helen says on 23/Mar/06
Frank, see Troy again. You know that model who played his wife? She is 6ft. In the movie, he looks much taller than her Mr. R says on 9/Feb/06
Here you go from the man's own mouth:
http://www.ericbana-archives.com/Eric-Quotes.html#Source
"Just a little over 6 foot 2". If I were a purist Rob, I would argue that you should bring him down to 6 foot 2 and a quarter, but I guess I'm not a purist!
(In some accounts he is 1.88 meters, in others 1.89 meters, and only once is he 1.90!)
[Editor Rob: thanks Mr R, I'd tried to find bana quoting his height but must have missed that :)
the 189cm is what he shall stay I think...6ft 2 and a 1/4, maybe ;-0] Gotxo says on 2/Feb/06
I'm with Ed, the guy always looked massive.
In Munich he's by far the tall of all cast, he has like 4" on Geoffrey Rush.
In Black Hawk he look no less than Josh Harnett.
In Troy he has no less than 3-4" on Bloom.
One thing is that he's not 6'4", but he's no less than 6'2", a pretty well defined rank for him is 6'2"-6'3". Ed says on 28/Jan/06
I think he's definitely 6ft2.5, he towers over a lot of characters in Munich, You can see the difference between him and Daiel Craig really well, who is no more than 5ft11 with boots on. In The Hulk, he was considerably taller than Josh Lucas, and he towered over Jennifer Connely, who's fairly tall at 5ft8 for a woman. In Troy he was way taller than Orlando Bloom, and the so called 6ft Brad Pitt. 6ft2.5 is right on for one of the best, not for long lesser known actors, in Hollywood. Mashka says on 23/Jan/06
If Lou Ferrigno is about 6'3 1/2" then Eric Bana (who I adore) is about 6'2", maybe less.
Here's a pic: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800380395/photo/482492 J.J.F says on 21/Jan/06
Bana is the only celeb I've actually stood next to (unless you count Jamie Theakston...lol) bout 5 years ago in Morocco.
Both in sandals, he definitely had 2 inches on me (I'm 6' and change) so I'd say 6'2.5" is dead on. paleface says on 14/Jan/06
In 'Black Hawk Down' while they're in the lunch line, he has his head cocked to the side and he still only looks about a half an inch shorter than Josh Hartnett. And he's a hell of lot taller than Orlando Bloom in 'Troy'. sam says on 11/Jan/06
In Black Hawk Down, he looked pretty close to similar height as Hartnett to me. Definitely not a 1" to 2" difference. Jason says on 11/Jan/06
I think he's 6'2''. Viper652 says on 11/Jan/06
Damn, you think he's shorter then 6-2 Roboto?? Its possible but he looks 6-2 at least in every pic or movie Ive seen of him. Mr Roboto says on 10/Jan/06
I think he's shorter than 6'2.5, more like 6'1.5", In "Black Hawk Down" in the food line scene you see him next to many people including Josh Hartnett (6'3") who looks at least 1-2" taller than him, and also about only 3-3.5" taller than the 5'10" Orlando Bloom..
I'm pretty sure they were all mandated to wear the exact same shoe in this film as well. Coffeecakes says on 27/Dec/05
As for the chick in the photo linked right below me, it is Saffron Burrows and she is 6 ft tall. Coffeecakes says on 21/Dec/05
That website isn't an official site, it is merely a fansite. As far as I know, he doesn't have an official website. Bakane says on 18/Dec/05
I don't understand all these questions...
Because when you read this page on what seems to be his official site, http://www.ericbana-archives.com/Eric-About.html#Profile. It writes 6'2" so... He's 6'2" max. That's all. Sorry for the double post... And for the english (I'm french :p ) Coffeecakes says on 3/Dec/05
I say he is 6'3. In Chopper, he looked pretty damn huge and I have heard that Hugh Jackman is actually 6'3. I don't know, we never see their shoes in those pics and Eric seemed to be leaning in on Hugh. I don't think he's 6'4, but tops 6'3˝. paleface says on 2/Dec/05
From Gawker Stalker.
"wednesday, november 23, lobby bar at l’ermitage in bev hills - saw eric “the hulk” bana, great looking, but tiny (are male celebrities bred in a lab? handsome, but precious moments size? does that read better on camera?) stayed through his second johnnie walker red, talking to some dork who looked like he’d just come in off the golf course."
Interesting. Although it seems to contradict every other existing evidence. Maybe just someone who looked a lot like him? Anonymous says on 7/Oct/05
http://www.ericbana-archives.com/Eric-Charity-02.html#2004Hemophilia
I do not know if this is an important clue to figure out his height but at least you now know his pant size.
sam says on 16/Sep/05
From that pic with Burrows, Bana, pitt, anniston etc, If Bana is 6"2.5 then Pitt looks over 6ft too haha, how can he be 5"11 judging by that pic? he must have huge shoes, or maybe he is 6ft plus. Or perhaps none of those stars are as tall as they say, Sean bean looks short Anonymous says on 7/Sep/05
Is it not possible that Bana is a few centimeters more than the 189 that he gets listed here.
Every source points to the possibility that he is at least 6ft3 (some even say he is 6ft4 which I find quite believable)
Does anyone more than me find it att little bit strange that every tall actor "wants" or gets listed at 6ft2.
Why is 6ft2 so special?
[Editor Rob: he's no taller than hugh jackman.]

hi rob i worked with eric bana yesterday but he was seating all the time so i didnt got to see how tall he was but friday i am working again with him so i would try to see Jimbo says on 31/May/05
Well, saw him at our Hotel in Morocco 5 years ago, he was at the salad bar right next to me, didnt know who he was at the time - he had a solid 2inches on me so I think 6'2" and a bit is right. I'm 6ft exactly. Mr. R says on 31/May/05
Goran, I have met Sam Elliot at the Paramount lot when he was shooting We Were Soldiers. He is about 6-1, which is 185 cm. The listing here for Bana is pretty close to correct. Hoot says on 29/May/05
HE'S 6'4 I KNOW THAT, I'VE MET HIM BEFORE!!!
