I agree. Gary and Mark are on the short side. Orange and Howard are tallish. jon says on 12/Sep/07
I saw mark owen in cambirdge and he was shorter than my mate at 5'5"!!!
Funny thing is when i saw the band on tv in 06 they all looked roughly the same height, i think mark wesrs heels, and the band are gneraly a lot shorter than people think.

I was very let down meeting take that about 12 years ago. I'm 5'8 and the only ones taller were Jason Orange (6'2 at most, prob closer to 6' - I was next to his twin at their concert and he was at most a few inches taller than my sister at 5'10") Howard was about 6ft, maybe a half inch either way. Gary Barlow was under my eyeline so at most he is 5'8" taking into account his big forehead and the spiky hair...so 5'7" is closer to his real height) Gary was a chunky short guy with a lazy eye. Robbie Williams is about 5'10"-5'11" and far balder and less attractive in real life, even 12 years ago, god knows what he is like in real life now. Mark Owen was TINY, like a little boy, 5'5" if he was lucky but I'd guess at 5'4" - very petite, quite cute in an awww little lad kind of way. But very small. leonari says on 19/Feb/07
mark is never 5'7''...he is way shorter than Barlow. blind? He's 5ft 8" says on 18/Feb/07
I read his book, he's 5 ft 8" and Mark's 5ft 7" Lois says on 4/Feb/07
Actually I have met Gary, and I'm 5,9, he was about an inch shorter but I slouched so we looked the same height! :0) so he's 5,8 So now you know!! :0) Maya says on 22/Dec/06
In his autobiography "My Take" Gary claims to be 5'8". He also mentions that at one particularly low point of his life he used to weight 16 stone 8 pounds! leonari says on 14/Dec/06
Izzy: you have no clue: yes mark gets often advertised as 5'7" but it's soooo obvious he is shorter !!!! Gary barlow is 5'7". Evanna says on 13/Dec/06
Sorry to dissapoint you Izzy but Mark is truly 5'5"-ish. As for other band members apart from Gary, Howard Donald is about 6', maybe a tad under that, Jason Orange a bit taller than Howard, probably 6ft-and-a-change.
[Editor Rob: I was thinking it's the other way Howard slightly taller than Jason, I think howard wore converse a bit in the past...hmm, maybe, he looks actually taller than Robbie] Izzy says on 13/Dec/06
Erm i think that Mark Owen is about 5ft 7? maybe? Hes gorgeous! But it would be good if he could be abit taller. leonari says on 8/Dec/06
Rob: I agree with every word. So? Will you put Mark Owen and the other guys from take that on the site? Please I think it's time. Yeah Mark Owen tries to pull off to look 5'6" with bigger shoes but since the other guys: Jason Orange and the other guy are really tall, like over 6 foot...
[Editor Rob: have a little patience man...soon, at least for Owen since he did have a solo career...ish] leonari says on 7/Dec/06
Rob: where and how did you got the figure for Barlow??? All over the internet he is listed as 5'9"...which of course is crap ....I agree with you though
[Editor Rob: I bet in a few years there won't be many 5ft 9 listings...barlow is after all a few inches shorter than Prince Charles.
Owen, I think he's very aware of his lack of stature and is wearing bigger heels to look 5ft6, I think Mark '4 minute warning' is under 5ft 6...] Evanna says on 6/Dec/06
Agree with tubbs & leonari. Actually, Mark Owen was the first celebrity that I ever asked for an autograph. I was 13 at the time, probably around 5'6" tall, and I was already taller than him! What stunned me most was that he looked like a teenager, although he was well into his twenties back then. I guess I looked older than him! He was very nice and friendly, though. Anyway, 5'5" tops. I saw him again two years ago, while he was promoting his solo album. He still looks like a teenager.
I also saw Howard Donald couple of years ago, I attended one of his DJ sets. He looked like a legit 6' guy to me. tubbs says on 6/Dec/06
Your right Leonari, Owen is 5'5" at the most. I unwittingly saw him performing at HMV in my local shopping centre some 18 months ago, didn't realise who it was at first, and when he walked past me he seemed to be 5'5". I bet he's glad of the Take That reunion, if it wasn't for that he might have been busking by now. 6'2'' JK says on 6/Dec/06
Im really surprised at this one, i always used to think he was 5'9''
[Editor Rob: even 5ft 7.5 could be a 1/4 too high...I'm sure smash hits had him up to 5ft 10 at one point.] leonari says on 6/Dec/06
please ROB, ad Mark Owen and the other creatures from Take That... leonari says on 6/Dec/06
This seems very accurate...Around 5'7" certainly not below.On the other hand: Mark Owen must be shorter than 5'6"...I always thought this guy is around 5'5" cause Gary Barlow is obviously taller, more than 1.5 inches... Evanna says on 5/Dec/06
5'7.5" - that's exactly what I thought of him. And I've seen him enough to be able to tell. |
