Ian McKellen Height
Ian McKellen height: 5 ft 11 in (180 cm)

UK Actor from Lord of the Rings (Gandalf) and X-Men says when asked his height "It depends on whether I'm standing up straight. Probably about six feet".. Granted I think he might have shrunk 1cm since his heyday of about 5ft 11.5, he does hold good posture in photos and on film and knows many a trick when posing - in fact, he has his own technique: "The McKellen Technique"

He's also wise to the tricks of camera's, when asked about his height in regards to X-Men: "Tyler Mane is nearly a foot taller than I am but there was no intention to trick you into thinking otherwise. The camera can, however, give the impression that an actor close to the lens is larger than one who is more distant"

@Arnold, I agree 6'9 anywhere in the world is very tall. I'm merely 5'8 so I wish I were taller. I get picked on for being small when technically I'm of average height (Asian). I hope I'll be able to hit a strong 5'9 or 10 once I'm done growing. Got a few more years to do that lol

I am really tall and I regard that as a problem. When I was 11 I was 5'10 and I wanted to be 5'11. When I was fifteen I was a massive 6'4 and now I am 6'9!! I hate being so tall as people keep making comments such as hows the weather up there. One person even went as far as pretending to think I was a lamp post! Some people wish they were tall, I wish I was small.

'5 "11 (180.5) looks about right, Im 181 in flat trainers, and met him on set of X-Men, he was nearly exactly same as myself. Nice old fella too, and a great actor, which is of course what counts.
