Hugh Laurie Height
Hugh Laurie height: 6 ft 2.5 in (189 cm)

The UK actor from Blackadder and Stuart Little films. His agency CV lists him as "Height: 6'3'". I think he's just fractionally under but is a very solid 189cm. Looks little bit shorter on House MD because of his cane.

CUTHBERT says on 26/Jul/09
As much as I admire Hugh and like him as an actor he really isn't anything near 6ft 3in,he's just 6ft 2in.
Unk says on 12/Jul/09
He looks tall to me, even in House with the limp he dominates all men around, except Morse who is about 6.4!!! And watching old sketches with Fry (who is a famous giant) Hugh is just a little shorter. I rememeber Fry interviewed somewhere, saying that people doesn't realize how tall is Hugh Laurie just because he used to stand beside him who's even taller. Around 1,90, to me. Exactly as he declares. C'mon, lying on height is just so NOT Laurie!

on jonathan ross last night he didnt look that much taller than ross,maybe half an inch,eric cantona was on the show too,cantona is 6ft 2 and he looked to be more taller than ross than laurie did and cantona was in a flat pair of nikes
Lenad says on 4/Jun/09
I doubt hes taller than what Rob lists him.
Josh.J says on 22/Apr/09
he's not a 6'3 guy for sure. with conan o'brien in the emmy sketch, he stand face to face and conan has around 2 inches on laurie. in house, with david morse who plays detective tritter he also comes short by a couple of inches. i'd say he's bang on 6'2
Paddy says on 4/Apr/09
Doug? 5'9''. Are you being stupid now? Dude... he's towering over any of his co-stars. In 1 episode there was a guy taller than him, a patient... Hugh Laurie is around 6'3''.
Doug says on 12/Feb/09
WOW admittedly I never noticed Laurie was tall. I thought he was like 5'9" lol, He reminds me a bit of Mel Gibson in build and face shape, just never realised he was a LOT taller!!.

I've seen Laurie on a commercial with soccer player Ibrahimovic, who's 6'3.5 and the most he could have on Laurie is one inch.
runt says on 7/Feb/09
Nike Shox (or some other brand with the same design) are part of his standard wardrobe on 'House' so he could have a half inch footwear advantage on every cast member.
Anonymous says on 4/Feb/09
I don't know but I think he looks 6'2.5. If he's flat 6'2" then we have to downgrade almost everyone listed on celebheights
Anonymous says on 1/Feb/09
One of the few celebrity that looks really his declared height. No way he's shorter than 6'2.5
Donatello says on 30/Jan/09
dmeyer says on 26/Jul/08
might have lost 1 cm but he dosnt look under 6 ft 2.5

Get a grip people the guy isn't even 50 yet, he hasn't shrunk at all. Hes pushing 6'3", definately not under 6'2". He looks to have lost height because of his posture in House. He doesn't actually walk around like that in real life.
Hugh says on 6/Jan/09
I thought he was about my height. I could be wrong.
Hugh says on 14/Dec/08
Okay maybe not the full 6ft3. 6ft2.75. He probably will shrink a fair bit unless he sorts out his posture.
Anonymous says on 3/Dec/08
It's Charlie. As to his wife, she does look tiny compared to Hugh. I'd say she around 5', maybe 5'1''.
Tracey says on 28/Nov/08
I asked on 16 May how tall his wife is, as she appears short compared to Hugh. Nobody has answered yet. Just curious. Also, someone metioned that his son was 5'8" or 5'10" - which son is this, Charlie or Bill?
Hugh says on 12/Nov/08
Laurie is like Hugh Jackman. He always downplays is height. On house his posture is bad possibly due the character. But standing straight I'd say 191cm.
Me says on 5/Nov/08
He doesn't look that tall on HOUSE, but I think that is mainly because the women on the show always wear real killer heals. Plus he appears to be slouching quite a lot.
He's described himself once as "perceived to be slightly taller in person than one expects". I think he's at least 189 - 190 cm.
Hugh says on 4/Nov/08
Never looks shorter than 6ft2. Really, Laurie couldn't give a crap about his height 'I dunno 6-2 or something like that'. 6ft2.5 is correct.
anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
In a movie omar epps was taller than 177cm tyra banks. I think it was love and basketball. In house he's at least 10 cm shorter than hugh laurie. In street kings he was maybe an inch or two taller than keanu reeves. In stuart little he was taller than 180cm geena davis. I would say he's 188 to 190 no shorter.

Thanks Luis, I thought Hugh's son was around 5'10''. And his son's name isn't Rob, I was actually asking the owner of this site the question about Hugh's son's height, that's why it says Rob.

As for Hugh's height, he seems 6'3'' to me.
luis says on 10/Oct/08
his son rob looks about 5'8

Here is a group photo of all the house cast-members barefoot: Click Here
(although its hard to tell if epps, leonard, or laurie are wearing shoes, although i think wilson and laurie are just in socks (or slippers)).
Ange says on 14/Sep/08
Whoa! I had him pegged as a 5'10 man. How tall are Cuddy and Wilson?
Anonymous says on 27/Aug/08
I am really curious, how tall do you think his son is Rob? Thanks in advance!

SHREI LUY says on 14/Jul/08

Anonymous says on 5/Jun/08

dmeyer says on 28/May/08
he give a towering impresion so just about 6 ft 3
dmeyer says on 28/May/08
to me he looks 190 cm on house since he was just a bit shorter than 194 195 mcbride
Tracey says on 16/May/08
How tall is his wife? On photos she looks tiny next to him.
Hugh says on 4/May/08
He's my height. I met him in L.A on the set of House. Nice Guy.
C. says on 4/Mar/08
He looks somewhere around the 6'2"-3" mark. He doesn't seem like he'd lie. Most likely he'd cut off an inch or so more than anything.
God is dead says on 3/Feb/08
He looks really 6"3 to me
Anonymous says on 12/Jan/08
he does look taller than 6'2.5
Anonymous says on 17/Dec/07
he doesnt look much shorter than stephen fry. he looks closer to 6'3
Sara says on 25/Nov/07
He looks just as you posted..6.25
Jim says on 1/Oct/07
Saw a documentary about Fry on BBC, he don't look too much smaller than Stephen Fry who is a tall guy so 6ft2, 6ft 3 seems about right.
qwerty says on 23/Sep/07
I think he's 6'2", just like he says he is. No taller than that.
link says on 4/Sep/07
House MD, when hes breaking into cuddys house, and he bets his 2 juniors he can open her door in less than 20 seconds, LOOK AT THE DOOR

that door is 6'3" if hes 6'2.5", he is literally right on the edge of its frame.

I always thought hugh was around the 6'4" mark(he never stated it, i just thought he looked it), but 6'3" i can accept
HLAddict says on 2/Sep/07
I can barely tell a foot from an inch, but Hugh said several times in past interviews that he and Stephen thought it's visually boring to see two people roughly the same height, so in order to accentuate their height difference he would do scenes without wearing shoes or crouch down a bit, which is probably why he seems shorter than Stephen than he actually is. I think he is 6"2.5 and Stephen is 6"4.5.
Sarah says on 27/Aug/07
I didn't know he was THAT tall, but.. sweet =D
kinda tall says on 18/Aug/07
Wow. I never thought he was this tall. I only know him from House, so I thought he was much shorter.
L says on 12/Oct/06
Hugh is definitely close to 6'3" I've talked to him several times. He does tend to slump his shoulders at times, and he's also self-deprecating. He will never say he's more when he can say he's less. If you know what I mean.
Editor Rob says on 7/Sep/06
Tribune news service, 2002:
"I'm 6-2 or something"
J-Dog says on 27/Apr/06
He looks just a shade under 6'3" it's quite believable. He seems a bit larger than 6'2" but who ever truly knows but him. Maybe he identifies more with 6'2" than 6'3" lol.

[Editor Rob: a lot of the time on House he's not actually standing straight obviously, but I remember gunberg (who claims 6ft 2) was on an episode and if he's 6ft 2 then House looked 6ft 3, his cv height...hmm, but then just 1.5 inches shorter than Stephen Fry back in the 80's, I'm not so sure]
DaVinci says on 10/Dec/05
There was this old interview of him with Stephen Fry where they both said he was around 6-foot-two and a bit.
Bill says on 23/May/05
On TFI Friday he said 6-2 correcting Chris Evans Who said 6-3
