Jake says on 6/Jan/10
I read somewhere he was 6'3, so I stick with 6'3 (I believe is kind of more accurate)
Hugh 191cm says on 1/Jan/10

I've seen him at the melbourne F1 and he was alot taller than he looks on film. 6'3" for sure
dmeyer says on 20/Aug/09
he towers pitt even in lifts
Anonymous says on 17/Aug/09
Bana is ethinically half German and half Croatian. Him being 6'2" is like your typical American or Brit being 5'11"
Clay says on 11/Aug/09
Looked 1 inch to 1.5 inches taller than Jimmy Fallon when they were side by side for the Aussie football segment.
Observa says on 11/Aug/09
Ive met him and Im 6'2 dead even, he was just a little taller
Hugh 191cm says on 1/Aug/09
Quinto is wearing converses. By that picture I see chris pine 183cm, urban 184-185cm, quinto 186cm and bana at 190cm.

Solid 6'2" by most interview accounts and media print. Nearly always taller than his male co-stars. He said during an interview on the aussie program "Sixty Minutes" that he was a fraction over 6'2".(Fairly recent interview-approx 3-4months or so). This quote might be what editor Rob has stated above.

[Editor Rob: that quote at the top is from 2003. I think he's pretty honest.]
Hugh 190cm says on 17/Jun/09
188-190cm
Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
In the hulk he looks a strong 6ft1, not saying he is that height
pj says on 1/Jun/09
I live around the corner from Eric Bana in Brighton and see him all the time he is definately 6'2+ probably 6'3.
Ange says on 30/May/09
He definitely looks a legit 6'2.
Lenad says on 29/May/09
In the Hulk he doesnt look 6'3 at all. More like 6'1
yoyo says on 17/May/09
he looks lower than 6ft2.5 in reality. 6ft1.5 at less.
cinemagoer says on 17/May/09
for sure he is below 6'3'' mark. there's no doubt about it.
around 6'2''. nothing more.
OutBenchThis says on 29/Apr/09
On leno the other night promoting Star Trek, looked about 6'1"-6'1.5" which was a surprise..mabye he's not the full 6'2" guy I always thought he was..
Sam says on 29/Apr/09
People have been seeing Eric Bana's mini-me, apparently. He appears to be the tallest member of the main cast of Star Trek, looking an even 6'2" compared to Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban:

RobertJ says on 28/Apr/09
Sarah - your right, Bana really is 5'7''.
luke says on 23/Apr/09
to me this guy is more around 6 ' 6' 1'' 185 top , as you can see very clearly in that pic mentioned below by "people" he just doesn't have the proportions and the shoes ! of a 190 cm guy ...so c'mon !
Sarah says on 21/Apr/09
Thats strange. I met him last night a the Star Trek premiere in London and he seemed a little smaller than that. I'm 5'2" (I was wearing 2.5 inch heels) and I could virtually look him in the eye without craning my neck too much!
Ali says on 20/Apr/09
''INK says on 20/Mar/09
I saw Bana this week in Melbourne and stood beside him. I'm 6'2 and he is slightly shorter that me. So I'd say 6'1. He is definitely not over 6'1 - no way. I always thought he was taller.''

That is exactly what I thougt! He is the same height as Hugh Jackman
who is no 6'2.

Hollywood heights are almost always inflated.
Clay says on 19/Apr/09
Met him, he is a little over 6'2 and can look as much as 6'4 when he wears timberland style boots.
Manco says on 18/Apr/09
Dude, you must be nuts! Even to think that this guy can be under 190 cm! I just saw a photo of him standing next to Zachary Quinto, listed at 6'2. He looks two inches taller at least! Eric that is. So I think he really IS 6'4, as was reported when he just appeared.
Ali says on 18/Apr/09
I don't think this guy is over 6'2. I think he is 186 cm. 6'1.25
to 6'1.5
Clay says on 15/Apr/09
AJ, I have met Bana and he is not 6'4 at all. More like 6'2 and a half. Now Jared Padalecki is legit 6'4 actor.
Lenad says on 1/Apr/09
Doesnt come across as a big guy but he does look pretty tall. I doubt hes 6'3 though
INK says on 20/Mar/09

Bana is a solid 6 foot 2. Hugh jackman's height.
Alex says on 19/Mar/09
6'2 seems right, could be 6'2 1/2 too.
MD says on 24/Feb/09
It's fairly obvious the slope of the street not just downward towards Bana, but sloping back away from him, as well, so it's double the reduction in height.
Leung says on 24/Feb/09
Bana looking short next to Bloom? Really?

Blooms standing up hill in that photo. If you image google Bana, pitt and Bloom, there are pictures where Bana looks a good few inches taller than Bloom, and a couple inches more than pitt.

why does he look so short here next to bloom?? he looks very average.

Rusty says on 28/Jan/09
He looks this height.
Mr. R. says on 24/Jan/09
eric may be about 6-3. But his older brother is 6-8 and tortured him as a child.
AJ says on 23/Jan/09
Lou Ferrigno is still 6'5 probably even 6'6 he was a professionel bodybuilder and its just really bad being 6'6 as a bodybuilder same as later an actor thats why he was made 6'4
Da Man says on 22/Jan/09
If Bana was 6'4" he would be taller than Lou Ferrigno today, not ~1.5" shorter.
AJ says on 22/Jan/09
Eric Bana is AT LEAST 6'4. There are a couple (might even be 5 just search a cuple time) pages that list him 6'4. But of course he is downgraded so he get's more roles same think happens to other tall people like jackman etc. so it dosen make TOO MUCH sence to compare them with them lol
Nicole says on 6/Jan/09
Ben, my godfather told me that he met him last year in Florida.Eric was the same height as him 188,5cm.
Lisa says on 29/Nov/08
I met him today. He is around 6'3 if not a little taller. He's a tall, well built man.
Hugh says on 6/Nov/08
This seems dead on. He's a tall guy.
anonymous says on 22/Oct/08
In munich he's taller than daniel craig by an inch and a half. I would say he's just under 6 foot 2.
el toppo says on 18/Oct/08
I've met Bana in person a few times and home boy is an easy 6 foot 3.
Jim says on 8/Jul/08
If Pitt claims to be 6'1 (which I doubt, cuz he'z 5'11)...then Bana is waaayyyy up there. Definately a strong 6'3.
EB says on 7/Jul/08
This man is big I'd say 6'3

A weak 189cm but not more. One sight claims 6'4...yeah right.

He's leaning back in this, so add 1-2 inches to his height.
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
there is no way eric bana is over 6 foot1 max 6foot 1 and a half..if u see troy he is 2 or 2 and a half inches taller than pitt whos 5 foot11 n for plp who thinks he wears lifts he couldnt there cause they were both in slippers or barefoot ..eric bana is an inch shorter than portrayed here..
richinkle says on 25/Feb/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.

Fox says on 19/May/07
he looks 6'3
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.
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.
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.
RobertJ says on 15/May/07
Photo proves it, no less than 6'2''.
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.

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''.
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 6'3½.
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?

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.]
Anonymous says on 8/Jun/05
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!!!

[Editor Rob: Bana is not 6ft 4. He's no taller than Hugh Jackman really]
