Okay I'll settle with 6ft0.75 even I'm certain I saw a 186-187cm guy in Brokeback Mountain and Dark Knight Hugh 191cm says on 24/Oct/09
Looked 187cm beside jake gynehaal Hugh 191cm says on 23/Oct/09
185-186cm Spence says on 18/Oct/09
No way 186 Hugh. He was 184 and maybe a weak 6'1 not a solid one Spence says on 18/Oct/09

184cm minimum and 187cm max. Phil Neville says on 15/Sep/09
strong 184 for Ledger Hugh 191cm says on 7/Sep/09
Looks about 6ft in that pic against the measuring stick. Hugh 191cm says on 20/Aug/09
186-187cm in batman returns. Michael.B says on 6/Aug/09
6ft1 is right for this guy he was 6ft1 when he was 16 Click Here proof he never wore lifts Michael.B says on 6/Aug/09
6ft1 is right for this guy he was 6ft1 when he was 16 Click Here Michael.B says on 6/Aug/09
he was taller than christian bale so that makes him 6ft1 sorrow says on 28/Jul/09
I once met him a few years back
And im 6'0
He was about a 2 inches over me. He's a tall guy
so i'd say definately 6'2. josh says on 26/Jul/09
i think he was 6 feet because in monster ball he was about 2 or 3 inches taller than 5'9 bolly bob thronton Clay says on 25/Jul/09
meg, just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true. Tom Cruise used to say he's 5'10, how did that turn out... Cruise is not even a legit 5'8. Celebs especially celeb men often lie about height. It's common. Don't be so naive. meg says on 16/Jul/09
hes 6 1, if the man himself quoted it then thats what he is ?!?!?! Henkka says on 8/Jul/09
By the pics I've seen, he looks like a weak 6'1 like me. irma says on 26/Jun/09
he was around 6'1 and 6'3,i say so,because a very good source,close to heath,told me so..he grew a bit,plus he was fit,so he looked taller,that was very sexy about him.. Hugh 190cm says on 22/Jun/09
185-187cm was his range. Rusty says on 15/Jun/09
The Dark Knight wasnt accurate with height portrayls. Joker is supposed to be 6'3" and 191 pounds and Batman at 6'2" and 210 pounds. So Batman is supposed to be a big guy. Bale is 6'0" and Ledger is 6'1". Hugh 190cm says on 8/Jun/09
By that picture I estimate Ledger to have been around 187cm. Lenad says on 27/May/09
6ft4 is absouloutly ridiculos. Really hes a strong 6ft0 but possibly a weak 6ft1. Hugh 190cm says on 24/May/09
He was 1.5 inches taller than Christian Bale so between 185cm-187cm is spot on. unknown says on 20/May/09
He is 6'1 Clay says on 20/May/09
In TDK he was doing a hunched over posture for The Joker character. If he stood up straight he would be a legit 6'1, or at the minimum 6 foot and a half. glenn says on 15/May/09
pic was taken in 2001. Hugh 190cm says on 13/May/09
Rob is your opinion on Heath's height. Hugh 190cm says on 13/May/09
Ah come on James he looked at least 6ft1 next to Glenn. I buy a strong 6ft1 for this guy. I've read 187cm for this guy and I've occasionally seen a couple of 6ft2 listings but that is a little too high. 6ft1 looks good but 186cm sounds better. Maybe was 187cm in the morning. He was over one inch taller than Bale. unknown says on 10/May/09
No less than 6 ft 1...always slouches alot and is a tad more than an inch taller than bale in dark knight. 6 feet and less is just being naive, never appeared short on screen ever...God rest his soul! jf says on 10/May/09
6'1" shocks me. I would have credited Ledger for 5'10" or so. He isn't much taller than his supershort co-stars in 10 Things I Hate About You. Unless he actually grea after the age of 19 which would be very rare. Or if his co-stars utilized platform shoes in his scenes. 6'6" is absurd for Heath. No way is he 6'6" tall, I can't believe that is being cited as a truth. 6'1" is one thing, 6'6" is like...craziness. Anonymous says on 6/May/09
6ft1.25/186cm was is height I'm sure. Hugh 190cm says on 1/May/09
6ft3-6ft4 is ridiculous. A solid 6ft1+ is possible. 185cm/187cm. Ricardo says on 29/Apr/09
6'3" or 6'4" is not remotely possible. sam says on 26/Apr/09
he's solid 186cm Lenad says on 18/Apr/09
Strong 6'0 like 183-184cm Sam says on 8/Apr/09
He was listed as 6'3" early on in his career, which is ridiculous of course. 6'1" is just right. Hugh 190cm says on 5/Apr/09
6ft4 is ridiculous. 6ft1 to 6ft1.5. david says on 4/Apr/09
in brothers grimm he doesn't look much taller than damon, and damon can't be 6 ft 1. me says on 3/Apr/09
he is at least 6ft1 Mr. R says on 3/Apr/09
He is listed as 6-4 in the May 2001 People. Ricardo says on 1/Apr/09
He was taller then Bale. He was slouching and bending his knees alot in TDK, 6"1 is certaintly a correct hieght for him. Hugh 190cm says on 31/Mar/09
186-187cm is more accurate. Watch the Dark Knight. He's 1.5 inches taller than Christian Bale. Lenad says on 28/Mar/09
182cm isnt ridiculos. 183-184cm is bang on. 180cm is ridiculos. Hugh2 says on 21/Mar/09
Rob whats your opinion on Heath? Family says on 10/Mar/09
I don't know why, when i saw him i thought he was 5ft8 \_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 7/Mar/09
182cm is ridiculous. Ledger always struck me as a genuine 6ft1 guy and most likely a little taller. Lenad says on 6/Mar/09
I can buy a solid 182cm at the lowest. But I'm sorry Hugh anything over this listing is overdoing it. \\_-_-_-Hugh-_-_-_/ says on 3/Mar/09
Even when slouching he looked a good inch or so taller than Christian Bale. Joe says on 27/Feb/09
Victor, IN Dark Knight Ledger was slouching because he wanted Joker to have bad posture. You can even see scenes where he is really slouching. \\ -_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 25/Feb/09
I'll admit that he looked 6ft tops next to Matt Damon. But the reality is that he was 6ft1 minimum. He was 1.5 inches taller than Bale and an inch taller than 184-185cm Bryan Brown. \ -_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 24/Feb/09
He was about 1.5 inches taller than Bale whose 6ft. 187cm for Heath. \\\\ -_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 24/Feb/09
He was about 1.5 inches taller than Bale whose 6ft. 187cm for Heath. Ace says on 22/Feb/09
well they did on purpose in the dark knight cause it wouldnt feel right if batman was shorter, he is 1.85 definatly i stood facing him in the premiere the brothers grimm and he was taller than i am and iam 6ft. 5. Victor Hexum says on 21/Feb/09
No way he is 6"1 in the dark knight he was shorter then bale and he's 5'11 Tim says on 21/Feb/09
I saw him at the beach once in Perth (his home town). He's about 6'1 but he was really skinny so looks taller than he is. And he had lots of tattoos. U turn says on 8/Feb/09
Strong 185cm. Lenad says on 6/Feb/09
Probably a strong 183 maybe a weak 184. random mood says on 6/Feb/09
no he's not...no way he's 6'1!! he's maybe 5'10 which is tall RisingForce says on 4/Feb/09
From a July 2000 interview.
Q: You're really tall ... did you tower over Mel?
A: I'm 6 feet 1, but he has such a large presence on-screen that you don't notice it. Hugh says on 23/Jan/09
186cm seems on target. Lenad says on 21/Jan/09
I can buy a strong 182cm at the lowest Josh.J says on 14/Jan/09

perhaps a better picture for height comparison. assuming bowie is now 5-9, there is about 3 inches (maybe slightly more) between them. charlize theron seems to be slouching but cant really comment on her height because her footware is unknown. ledger looks close to 6-1. Josh.J says on 13/Jan/09

Eckhart on this site is 180cm. i see about 3-4 cm difference between him and heath. i have say though, ledger's posture is always loose. i'd say 185cm in the morning and 184 in the evening. joe says on 8/Jan/09
i saw heath ledger at a restaurant a few years back, and im 5'10. he looked about 3 inches taller than me. so id say a solid 6 footer. hes also thin which can give the appearance of being taller. people think im a bit taller than 5'10, but i have really long arms and legs which make me look a bit taller than i am, same thing with heath. linebacker40 says on 7/Jan/09
He didn't look really different from Bale in The Dark Knight. I suppose anything in between 6'-6'1". Lenad says on 5/Jan/09
Looked more like 5ft11.5 than 6ft1. 6ft2 is laughable and 6ft4 is freaking insane. Lenad says on 4/Jan/09
6ft3 is way way way too high T.J. says on 22/Dec/08
seems more like a really strong 6'0" Josh says on 22/Dec/08
In his biography it said he was 6ft 3. Above he says 6ft 1 which is probarbly his true height. In Ned kelly he looked about 2 inches or so taller than orlando bloom. Hugh says on 13/Dec/08
He was tall. 6ft1-6ft1.5. 6ft4 is a joke, likewise with 6ft3, 6ft2 is overestimating a bit. 6ft1.5 is reasonably accurate. 186cm is spot on. Spence says on 12/Dec/08
A pic with Monica B. , Matt Damon and Ledger. I think Damon might be 177 cm barefoot but wears lifts. Ledger is slouching a little bit and still has about 2 inches on him. He could be 184 or a very weak 6'1.
Click Here Lenad says on 4/Dec/08
187cm seems a bit exaggerated for this guy! Hugh says on 25/Nov/08
A strong 6ft1. Hugh says on 25/Nov/08
Jake's a solid 6ft to me. Hugh says on 16/Nov/08
At least 6ft1. I'd guess between 185-187cm. Hugh says on 12/Nov/08
A good 6ft1. Spence says on 8/Nov/08
Looks 6'1 to me SimoneMade in Italy says on 6/Nov/08
How tall is Andrew Keegan?
Heath is 6'1'' Nick says on 29/Oct/08
What a great actor and awesome he his 6'1 because in 10 Things I hate About You Heath is alot taller then Julia Styles and shes about 5'6 5'7 and he's taller then Christian Bale in the Dark Knight(6'0) RIP Heath Ledger:( :) mr archibald says on 27/Oct/08
so, that makes heath ledger at 6', beacuse he looked 2 inches shorter than djimoun...
he could be 6'0.4, he is tall Anonymous says on 24/Oct/08
he is at least 6' he can look 6'1 too and if he was I wouldn't be surprises, he looke two inches shorter than djimoun Anonymous says on 20/Oct/08
he is a strong 6' or a weak 6'1... Lenad says on 20/Oct/08
I'd give him a strong 182cm to a weak 183cm. andrea says on 11/Oct/08
Heath seemed like an average tall man. 6'1" seems perfect. His shoulder width and well basically his whole body is that of a good sized man. Anyways, I just can't picture him having lied about height. I notice people on the cusp of being shorter tend to lie about their height, while people of more of an averagish to tall height tell the truth. howie day says on 8/Oct/08
you think?..I see himm as 5'10 barefoot!
and 6'1 on his lifts..anyway..ledger in everymovie look on a different heigth..6'0 most likely howie day says on 7/Oct/08
I saw 10 things I hate about you last night and he looke quite tall...but maybe beacuse the rest of the cast nobody reaches 5'11..well he looked like a full 6'1 in that film..but he was wearing cowboy boots..anyway..ledger is not shorter than 6'0 howie day says on 6/Oct/08
I think they both are about the same..but I guess we'll never know...
james...one question...hoiw tall you think brad pitt is? Anonymous says on 4/Oct/08
good point james...but still I dont think ledger is taller than bale..dont know why..they are about the same height..and yes gyllenhall its not a 6' footer...so james wich other celebs nobody agrees with you? I might check it out then lol howie day says on 1/Oct/08
bale looked taller..but the angels were kinda weird...they are about the same height..but none of them are 6'1 Lenad says on 30/Sep/08
He looked 5'11-ish near Christian Bale in The Dark Knight howie day says on 30/Sep/08
exactly james...gyllenhall doesnt look and full 6' footer
more like 5'11.05 and ledger was 6'0.5 at most..
ledger is an inch taller than gyllenhall there's no doubt about that..maybe gyllenhal its a strong 5'11 and ledger a strong 6'..ledger was great in the dar knight bye the way and with that slouch he looked 5'11 Captain Spaulding says on 21/Sep/08
Great actor, id say 6'0". Anonymous3 says on 20/Sep/08
6'4 for Mr. Ledger is an absolute joke, How many people are ACTUALLY a legit 6'4? NOT too many. my point exactly. I have a friend I know is 6'3 and change maybe 6'3.25", who claims 6'4. Just goes to show you that even tall guys tend to try to grab more height if they see a chance. Lenad says on 20/Sep/08
I agree James, I think he around 6'0, not the 6'1 he claimed. Geo says on 18/Sep/08
Heath Ledger was a great actor, as far as his height, he seemed around 6'00. Watch the movie "the Patriot" where you will find several scenes where He stands side by side with Mel Gibson, if Gibson is around 5'10 this guys must have been around 6'00 since he doesn't look much taller than Gibson. Vampiric says on 5/Sep/08
I'm just curious. Why do you people always try to make celebrities seem shorter by giving such opinions? Heath is very tall, as any person with good eyesight see. I wouldn't give him a cm under 185. He was 6'1 and if you're saying he was shorter it's because you're jealous. Hugh says on 27/Aug/08
HEath was probably 6ft0.75 minimum and 6ft1.5 Max. howie day says on 25/Aug/08
I agree with james...he doesnt look like a full 6'1...
in dark knight looked 5'11.05 but he had a bad posture..so tanding correctly he will be like 6'.05 close to 6'1 Lisa says on 20/Aug/08
I worked on the set of BBM in 2004 in Alberta. Mr.Ledger came in at 6" almost 6"2.He weighed at the time 187lbs. He told us he was always a little guy until about 16 then he shot up like crazy. As for anonymus saying no-one noticed his acting until after he died, You are speaking for yourself! I have been a fan since 1996 after seeing him in a tv series. He was nominated for an oscar for heavens sake! I do think that being nominated for an oscar qualifies as "being noticed". He was a very nice guy. Polite always comes to mind when I think of him. He was a lot quieter than I thought he would be.I saw him go out of his way to help others many times, just little things but still. He did move around a lot, very fidgety,like he had ADD or something.Just very normal.He needed to believe in himself more, he seemed to always doubt himself. Rest easy mate, we miss you. Mark Hammil? GOOD LORD NO!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA! Great joke that guy. Yaspaa says on 13/Aug/08
6'1 in footwear,6'0 max barefoot. Norton K says on 13/Aug/08
Wow this guy had evrything going for him, good actor, great family, tall, rich! shame he died! Lebensdorf says on 13/Aug/08
He slouched a great deal in The Dark Knight and was still rather taller than Maggie Gyllenhaal (who is five-nine), and she was wearing heels in their scene together. I would say a solid six-one was right for him. He tends to look taller in other films, though.
A great actor, who will be sorely missed. Anonymous says on 11/Aug/08
He looked about 6'2"/6'3" in TDK to me. Probably because of his slender physique. Thin people usually appear taller than they really are. Zach says on 9/Aug/08
he looked like a solid 6ft 1 in Dark Knight, in some scenes he looked taller but this was due to wearing boots. howie day says on 7/Aug/08
he looked 6' at dar knight!
actually 5'11 with the slouch..but he looks 6' anonymous says on 6/Aug/08
glen, stop telling other people on this site that their question is stupid....not everyone reads every single posting.....let go that ego man!!!...it makes you look like a jerk. Big T says on 27/Jul/08
I was watching the Heath Ledger True Hollywood Story the other day, and they had an old pic of Heath (he would've been 16 or 17) actually standing next to a HANDWRITTEN height chart. The fact that someone bothered to handwrite the chart suggests to me this pic was taken by an early agency or something like that, specifically for the purpose of measuring his height.
His height was 187cm. Assuming he stopped growing at a relatively young age, and was wearing normal shoes, I think it's safe to say 185cm/6'1" is bang on, and he was an honest dude. happy says on 25/Jul/08
Man he was hot!, and such an awesome actor :[ still can't believe he's dead.And he was TALLL he look really tall in TDK. Which btw was Amazing and I would watch over and over again cause of him.
"If you're making choices based on other peoples choices, you're making real boring choices"-Heath Anonymous says on 25/Jul/08
Blah blah blah, all these "OMG! Just saw the Dark Knight! Heath Ledger is the most amazing actor ever!!!" comments are really starting to make me sick. The man had about half as many comments on this site a few weeks before The Dark Knight came out and only one or two said anything about his acting. I love how no one made a big deal about his acting until AFTER he was dead. Was he good at the Joker? Yes (though maybe not entirely faithful to the comic book). Has he be been better in other roles? Yes. So please, stop all this mindless fauning.
As for height, didn't come off as 6'1" in The Dark Knight but just going by body proportions, did seem a big guy. Considering he was taller than Jake Gyllenhal by about an inch, I'd say 6' is the lowest you could go for him.
By the way, Mark Hammil will still always have the best interpretation of The Joker. :] kill davey says on 24/Jul/08
the way movies are shot hide the heights of the actors look at tom cruise hes a tiny lil fag id say dont argue about jg and heath. Im 5 10.5 and ledger was taller than me hes around 6' 1" Anonymous says on 23/Jul/08
I believe he is -6' not 6' 1" Mr Money says on 22/Jul/08
brilliant in dark knight, definitely deserves an oscar for his performance. anyways looked tall in dark knight even with a the joker slouch, so 6'1 is correct. Ray says on 22/Jul/08
Gyllenhall is nowhere near 6'1" LOL. He's 5'11" max. Brad says on 21/Jul/08

Damm I cant believe some people are so ignorant in believing that he is taller than 5 ft. 10 in. Jake Gyllenhal is 6 ft 1. Look at the difference in the movie broke back mountain.
Yeah... about that... I'm watching it now, and Ledger is about 1.5 inches TALLER than J.G. gfunkmoney06 says on 19/Jul/08
he looks like a 6-6'1" type guy. anyway, absolutely amazing acting in dark knight. he made joker his own and he added this sinister, psychotic side to joker that i never expected. the performance was very memorable. rest in peace. KingNick says on 18/Jul/08
Rob I'm sure you're getting flooded with these comments but I want to at least try.
I saw "The Dark Knight" tonight and Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was easily one of the best performances I have EVER seen, period. This is coming from an actor. Someone who's striving to be a part of the business. Someone who loves acting because it's the dream God put in his heart.
My only prayer to God is that I can be HALF as good as Heath Ledger was.
I don't know why his life was cut so short. I don't know if it was accidental overdose or whatever. All I know is the acting world is a little less brighter without him.
If there's anything an actor or just any movie fan can take from this, it's to not take life for granted. A cliche phrase, but maybe the best cliche around. Heath had so much to give. All it takes is one mistake for it to be over. Maybe you're someone who has a lot to give but doesn't think so.
I'm here to tell you now, YOU HAVE A LOT TO GIVE.
Life is too short and you have no idea how many people you touch sometimes inadvertantly. The comfort I can take is that I know Heath is resting very comfortably in a place much better than this. And I know he's still using his gifts, just in a different way. Performing, making people laugh, astounding them.
Using God's gift. Leung says on 17/Jul/08
Your joking yeah? How do you figure Gyllenhal as being 3 inches taller than Ledger? It’s actually Ledger that is taller of the two. Anonymous says on 17/Jul/08

He was a great actor but more importantly he was a great guy who spoke hes mind and never sold out like 99% of celebritys. Jennifer says on 28/Apr/08
Hey. It’s me again. I had something to tell Heath. First, I would ask that all the ladies who really liked Heath to not be offended, I am one of you and was luck to know him also.
Heath, remember the line you said in Roar when Keri Russell’s character Clair (your character Conor’s love) past away and you said that glorious line at her funeral? Hear I am saying the same thing to you.
“I will never…love another…as I have loved you.” Jennifer says on 28/Apr/08
Heath was 6’1; I know that because he was my friend. He was an awesome guy, very friendly, easy to talk to, in short the best. He had rough times in his life, though, so how you see him on the screen in (Roar the TV series from 1997, Casanova, etc.) is how he was when life was good. I have seeing everything he was in except the TV appearances in Australia before 1997 (I met him that summer) and Broken Back Mountain (the storyline made me queasy).
As everyone was saying, I miss him terribly too. There is a quote from the pilot episode of Roar that comes to mind right now. It was in Gaelic and I do not have the correct spelling on it but Heath’s line was “From shel sha gidion sayon ella” with means “From this life to the next.”
Take care, everyone glenn says on 21/Mar/08
the g was a typo. glenn says on 20/Mar/08
gthanks mamun.i bumped into him on the street,2001 new york city.yeah chris175,i can look taller. Donald says on 20/Mar/08
He did infact towered every cast and crew in 10 Things I Hate About You. Talk about short people in that set. When I first saw that movie I always thought he was 6'3 assuming Andrew Keegan was like 6'1 and Joseph Gordon Levett was like 5'11 then...so yeah Heath looked like a tall mother****er in that movie.

glenn you look 5-9 or 5-10 here Mamun says on 14/Mar/08

I walked past heath in new york whilst he was out shopping a while back now and he was definately tall compared to my 5 8" frame,he was wearing faded skin tight denim's which made him look very leggy,top and a wooly hat.He was a definate 6 ft-6 1"inch he looked about the same as my brother's height who is also 6 1",I recognised him straightaway and said "hello heath",he smiled back at me and said "hi,how are you? he was very polite and sweet and was very attractive even though he was dressed kinda scruffy!....rip heath you were a special person!!

Shame to see him pass on. I am looking forward to the next Batman movie to see his performance. I know he wanted to bring a different "edge" to The Joker. Pity he couldn't see the result of his work. RIP Heath. You will be missed. Anna says on 24/Jan/08
Glenn you're so lucky you got to meet Heath before his death. He seemed like such a nice guy. He looks a solid 6'-6'2" here. RIP Heath. hans says on 24/Jan/08
yeah,yeah...no that he is dead he grew to an amazing 6'3. This is BS. But women also think their 3 meter BMW mini does not fit into a 10 meter parking space.He was most likely 5'11, maximum 6'0. 6'1 only with cowboy boots he often liked to wear. I loved him in his movies. greetings to heaven Heath! TrinitarianJam says on 24/Jan/08
R.I.P. Ledgend. So sorry. My prayers to his loved ones and especially his daughter. <> I was blessed to see him in Greenwich Village a few months ago (summer '07). My husband's 6'0" and Heath had a couple of inches on him. I'd say Heath's 6'2" or 6'3" definitely. Kevin Durant says on 24/Jan/08
Rest In Peace
Heath Ledger ( 1979-2008) mac says on 24/Jan/08
this guy obviously was a deep water with lots of anxieties and problems he just kept locked inside of him. seemed nice though and like for any other young person dying this is a real tragedy.
However, this guys hight was confusing:
check this pic on time.com where he stands out from the rest due to his height and very long legs.

And then move to the next pic with Mel Gibson in a scene from "the patriot". He is/was like a Brad Pitt guy, who could change their height magically by 3 inches = Probably was lift wearer like Pitt. richinkle says on 23/Jan/08
A great actor and a very impressive person. I believe his legendary status will live for generations, and his spirit will live forever. glenn says on 23/Jan/08

Hi Glenn! I would say he was 6'1. What was he like when you met him Glenn? He seems like a down to earth kind of person. It's such a shame that he's gone. He had a lot of talent. R.I.P. Robbie H says on 23/Jan/08
its a shock and a great shame he passed away sorter says on 23/Jan/08
methinks no one's going to dispute his current height: 6ft. under.
incredible actor and a panty magnet--why he decided to off himself is beyond me. Respect says on 23/Jan/08
Powerful actor. Rest in peace and legend. Tim says on 22/Jan/08

Rest in Peace Heath Ledger Matt says on 22/Jan/08
RIP Heath.
I really enjoyed some of his movies. :( Donald says on 11/Jan/08
In 10 Things I Hate About You he towered over every single cast member, Andrew Keegan 6'0 had to look up at him, Heath had to look down at him. You can cleary see it in the scenes where they're face to face. Heath is not 6'1 he has to be 6'3 at the most if not atleast 6'2. Chris says on 7/Jan/08
Heath with Matt Damon, same height.
Click Here AAAA says on 29/Dec/07
Looks like a tall 6'1 in the trailer for the dark Knight. When he is standing in the street, he seems tall, and lanky Matt says on 11/Dec/07
Never quite been sold on Ledger, perhaps because he has quite a stocky build that hinders my perception. I think if Ledger stands up hard in Glenn's photo, then he looks an easy 6 foot, perhaps a shade more. Still have my jury out on him though. It will be interesting to see how he stands up against Christian Bale in the new Batman movie. Anonymous says on 28/Oct/07
Looks 6'0 with Glenn. Going by the standard of human proportion being 4.5 to 5 inches from eyes to the top of the head, and Heath's eyes being and inch or so below the top of Glenn's head, who also looks to be straining his neck for height. Factor in the relaxed posture on top of Glenn's good, and 6'1 seems about right. robbie h says on 12/Oct/07
looks around 6ft to 6-1 jen says on 22/Sep/07
i lived in sydney with him before he made his hollywood break.
heath is definately 185cm ... if i can ill post some pictures of
him to prove it. glenn says on 18/Sep/07
he is close to 6-1,if not that. Kris says on 18/Sep/07
I saw him at the LAX airport on the 24th as my mom and I were in line at Starbucks. He was with a friend and I got a good look at him and this guy is at least 5'11''. Also, he looks a lot worse in person. But then again, I never found him at all attractive. Just my two cents. He is for sure tall. But it ain't 6'1''. guy says on 17/Sep/07
Looks 5'11" in the above pic by abosolute comparison to Glenn. His eyes are about 2 inches below the top of Glenn's head. He is very relaxed and appears to be possibly trying to match Glenn's height with a slouched posture. Standing straight would give him another inch. I would calculate his actual height at 5'11.5" to 6 given he has similar soles to Glenn.
[Editor Rob: heath's eyelevel does look to have a bit more of a downtilt, so I think nearer to 4. Without knowing posture.] Piccaso says on 12/Sep/07
Between 5'11 and 6ft -- I'm almost positive! Bad Radio says on 5/Aug/07
looks 6ft to me..not less than that...6'1 is possible. Aaron says on 3/Aug/07
looks like a strong 5'11 in this pic 6'3'' JK says on 3/Aug/07
I don't think he is quite 6'1'', looks 6'0'' tops with Glenn RobertJ says on 2/Aug/07
He's not shorter than 6 feet. Victorian says on 24/Jul/07
Brokeback Mountain made me think he was 6ft. Picture the scene when he was 'dancing' with Linda Cardellini (both wore very dodgy footwear though.). He seemed nearly 6'2" with said shoes, making him 2 inches less without them IMHO. timber says on 18/Jul/07
must be another lift wearer... |
