Michael says on 22/Feb/10
I know he doesn't look that tall, but 5'9? but yay he is shorter than me! and for Rachel, personally now days taller girls have shorter boyfriend, I've many friends who goes that way, so don't worry. Tall legs = Hotness!

Rachel says on 17/Feb/10
Why is it that I'm taller than every cute guy? I mean really, I'm only 13 and I'm already 5'10". It's ridiculous. What am I going to wear to prom? Flats?
Are you really that tall or just exaggerating? Rachel says on 17/Feb/10

does anyone have a clue on his weight while filming vampire diaries ? MD says on 20/Jan/10
What would that tell you, then, Jack? I'd hope it tell you that either Michael is incorrectly listed, or that that is a horrible camera angle. Fact is, Paul is basially the same height as Ian. Jack Masque says on 19/Jan/10
on smallville when paul wesley plays lucas luthor and stands next to michael rosenbaum they are almost the same height MD says on 14/Jan/10
You got it mixed up. This guy has stated his height as 5'9" FOREVER. What is means it that the 6'0" and 6'1" listings for Wesley are completely off the mark. Wesley looks only as tall, if sometimes not slightly shorter than Ian. Wesley is only 5'9"ish. Sorry. Katie says on 14/Jan/10

hey rob, i have a question to ask you, my height changes from 5'8'' to 5'8'' to 5'9'' depending wear i take my height. when i do it myself im in the 5'8.5'' to 5'9'' area, in the morning im a little over 5'9''....but when the nurse takes it im just over 5'8''.....u think i can say im 5'9" ?....thanks MD says on 30/Dec/09
Yes, he really isn't a full 5'9". He gives himself 5'9" meaning that it's likely he's a bit shorter. Really, the Rob should have really known this given the picture. Even in the worst circumstances (i.e. leaning, slouched, boots...) there is no way he could lose what looks to be at least a full inch to Rob in a picture. archs says on 28/Dec/09
looks 5'8.5 to me, he isnt leaning that much, maybe a weak 5'9. PK says on 18/Dec/09
Celtic fan, Rob? Good team Katie says on 15/Dec/09
to Rob: Please add Paul Wesley height. Thanks Nick says on 6/Dec/09
To be fair, having seen this guy on the Tyra Banks show and see the massive boots he was waering in the face of her heels, he is imho a solid 5'8.
Especially in the rules of attraction, while changing clothes, i mean he looked absolutely tiny. Not that I think he's is small, but 5'8 is an utmost max for this guy, if even that.
I don't think many people realise that there are loads of shoes that can add up to 2.5 inches without even being visible, and just looking like flats.
I don't get this site sometimes, peopel post pictures of the celebrities without the shoewear, and when they do, they don't relaly seem to take it into account. ZAQ says on 25/Nov/09
he's 5'8 you can see him dead in the eye if he's a lil more id say no more than 5'8 1/2 and minumum of 5'8 1/4 Clay says on 7/Nov/09
His head is smaller than Rob's. Rugal Bernstein says on 1/Oct/09
I would say 5'8.5" if he would stand straight beside Rob. Anonymous says on 17/Mar/09
james vanderbeek has 3.5-4.5 inches on him in The Rules of Attraction.
But what I noticed in that movie is that J.V. is taller than most people, as he was in Dawson's creek. So I am going to guess that Vanderbeek is 6ft and this guy is 5'8.5'' RON says on 27/Jan/09
he may have done runway shows. some men top models as tyson beckford are 5-11 on the dot or even shorter as supermodel oliver cheshire. watch tyson show for dsquared this season and see the the rest of the models are not very much taller than him. Dural says on 10/Jan/09
He doesn't look shorter than Rob. He could be an inch taller if he wasn't leaning. 5'9" is probably correct. Bouncer says on 10/Jan/09
I see 5'8 here.
He is leaning and looks a tad shorter than Rob. Perhaps he is the same height when he stands straight. Anoymous says on 7/Oct/08
Hey Rob can I ask one thing: I am a little over 5'9" in the morning, and am a tiny bit under 5'9" throughout most of the day, and am 5'8.5" by night. These measurements are not too accurate I don't think, as I am a heavy guy and this was measured in my room, where I sink in the carpet a little. Can I say I'm 5'9", or not?
[Editor Rob: carpet is tricky, you got a tiled/linoleum floor in your bathroom or kitchen, best trying it on that!] Captain Spaulding says on 23/Sep/08
Thats Boone right?
[Editor Rob: that is him.] C says on 25/Aug/08
Ian Somerholder has done runway shows. And while the ideal height for a male model is between 5'11"-6'2" there are always exceptions. Agencies often lie about models heights (either rounding them up or down). Many models listed at 6'0" are 5'10". Oliver Cheshire a model has done runway for Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers even though he is 5'9". There are no rules, if a model has a unique or desirable look than they will accept them despite their lack of height. Anonymous says on 23/Aug/08
Hey Rob I have a question to ask you, when I get up in the morning I'm 5' 91/2'' and during the day I drop down to 5' 91/4'' and by late night like 11pm I'm 5' 9'' sometimes 5' 87/8'' depending on sleep, would you call that a strong 5' 9'' ?
[Editor Rob: solid 5ft 9 yes.] B says on 22/Aug/08
Yes that's true you must at least be 6-0 to be a male runway model but this guy was never a runway model he's done more commercial work so his height is fine. Ronaldo says on 6/Aug/08
A male model must be 1m82-1m90
Female model must be 1m72-180
of course there are exceptions like kate moss: 1m67. Yiit says on 8/Jul/08
Patrick from Germany says on 6/Jul/05
How could he be a model if he's only 5'9"?
I always thought you have to be at least 6 feet.In Germany the minimum height for a model is 1,85 metres
well patrick... i dont think anyone in germany can look like him...
and he is 175cm Marcel says on 6/Jul/08
174-175cm sounds correct. Antron says on 31/May/08
No shorter than 174cm. dmeyer says on 15/May/08
he looks short on lost but 5 ft 9 fits him, also rob you say easy 5 ft 9 do you mean 176
[Editor Rob: I mean legit 5ft 9, or even 9.25] Random person says on 5/May/08
Yeah it's gotta be his beret that's giving him that extra inch Anonymous says on 3/May/08
Annonymous (again)
Although, perhaps the photo is taken with Straithairn very early in the day and that accounts for Somerhalder looking taller. I was fairly shocked to find that when I measured my own height after a long hard day I was 5'9.4 when I am slightly over 5'10 in the morning, that means I could look as little as 5'9 or as much as 5'10. Perhaps the same goes for Somerhalder. Anonymous says on 1/May/08
Next to David Strathairn (listed as 5'11.5 here) he looks to be only giving a way an inch at most, and even with heeled shoes, or with Strathairn standing straight, Somerhalder must be at least 5'9.75 if not 5'10 in my opinion.

looks 5'8 to me height_police says on 28/Jan/08
I agree with chris..he's not 5'9... nick says on 21/Jan/08
i loose exactly 1 inch from being on my feet all day on a work day. But on a non working day i loose 3/4 of an inch scaffler says on 20/Jan/08
kev, the best model right now is probably oliver cheshire and hes only 5-9. hes doing the best runway shows and the rest of the models are not that much taller than him. chris175 says on 20/Jan/08
i cant get over people here saying hes got 4cms on rob, no way, i see barely any difference, from this pic if rob is 173 then ian is 173-174, i am aware that he is leaning slightly though Ernest says on 13/Jan/08
Hey! that's a good pic,
i'm argentinian and i'd like to know wht Ian thinks about my countrie. I hate it so much, i hope to gonna live LA soon. Thanks, i'd like you to answer me. He`s a good actor. height_police says on 23/Nov/07
is weird rob..I mean I swear I can see him as a 5'9, there's one scen in "rules of.."
when he is barefoot dancing in front of the mirror and he looks shorter than 5'9 believe me! height_police says on 18/Nov/07
ian its 5'8 tops..I know you met him..but dont know...he enver looked 5'9 to me..
is here any change to downgrade this guy rob?
[Editor Rob: you are fully entitled to believe he's any height you want him to be. I didn't need more than 5 seconds in my mind to realise the only way he'd be 5-8 is with lifts.] Anonymous says on 27/Oct/07
Man Rob, you don't lose a lot of height at all that's like nothing. I lose a quarter of an inch
from afternoon to evening, in total from morning to evening I lose half an inch I geuss that's not so bad. How do you lose so less, is it your diet? I tried an experiment one day and I found that my body needs at least 6 hours of sleep to acheive maximum height wich is 177.165 cm or 5' 93/4'' almost 5' 10''. Rob i'm guessing your around 5' 81/2'' in the morning 174cm?
[Editor Rob: I've measured decreases a lot. Most of the time with same sleep pattern - as you found you might not reach max with less sleep - I will come in 174.2cm. Highest is 174.3.
A typical average loss is 1.8-1.9cm, mine is 1.5cm. The range is different for people, but you'll find according to one research paper that studied a group in a hospital using very precise measures that the typical range covers from 0.7 or 0.8 up to 2.8cm. ] Anonymous says on 26/Oct/07
So Rob, that means your around 5' 83/8'' during the day? or 173.6cm.
[Editor Rob: nah, by afternoon I'm 173cm, by evening 172.7.cm.
at some cons (ones in a hotel) I think the earliest I've got a pic would be 2 hours from getting out of bed. In those cases I would still be like 173.2cm but that's minority. Mostly count on me being as close to 5-8 mark as you'll get.
Ian out of bed I think is strong 177cm, unless he suffers Francostein height loss.]
Anonymous says on 26/Oct/07
Hey Rob it's very possible this guy is taller than 5' 9'', maybe 5' 91/2'' since you saw him at 5' 9'' at night. I think he could be my height because in the morning i'm 5' 93/4'' than I get down to 5' 91/2'' which is my day height, at night im 5' 91/4'' sometimes 5' 91/8'' if it's a bad day but I never drop below that mark. What do you think Rob? because I think he's more like a strong 176cm. Oh do you remember what time of night this photo was taken 7pm maybe?
[Editor Rob: no, I say believe he's still five nine at night because, this was afternoon, he'd been sitting a lot signing, which puts pressure on spine so I think hed be near lowest height anyway and looked legit five nine at this time, maybe 176cm more than 175, but very hard to say. I was actually up since one am driving for six hours so I am at very lowest night height, I think.
But then from afternoon to night I barely lose more than two more mm anyway so most pics of me I'm ninety eight percent of the time in the 172.7 - 173.2cm range.] damon says on 31/Aug/07

Actually one guy who actually looked as handsome as he does onscreen is Jensen Ackles. Surprising, even with an orangish stubbly goat beard...] Bombay Rocker says on 4/Jul/07
Well to name a few, freddie ljungberg(arsenal fc player) models for calvin klein and not like any part time thing, he's actually one of their top models and is big time into modelling and he is 175 - 176. Mark wahlberg used to be a supermodel and the best in his time and he's actually the guy who single handedly made calvin klein more popular then they every were and he is maybe a max of 175 but there is a dabate that he might be close to 5 feet 8 and right now is listed as 173. Martin henderson is a max of 175 but listed as 174 and he was a top model so it depends....you can say that freddie ljungberg and mark wahlberg were already popular and all cause of their backgrounds and their offscreen personna but that doesnt stand true for martin henderson and ian somerhalder to a large extent but ya you cant be 5 feet 5 or something and expect to be a supermodel unfortunately......that's how the world works, there are some careers where you have to be tall or atleast average to make it big....so if you are a little short like maybe like 5 feet 8, you still stand a chance to make it big. Kev says on 3/Jul/07
Well as an aspiring model he inspires me. He has this dark mysterious fashionable look. And hes been modeling since he was 10. I do believe he is short for a fashion model. Any reputably agency would say that the male model would have to be 6ft. You could be less then that to do commercial modeling. Since ian had such an early start in modeling im sure these magazines such as gq and guess looked at his resume and loved all his past work. And may i also remind ya while ian was doing an extra 4 black in white in the late 90's a future modeling agent or casting agent instantly picked ian of 400 people to be in his agency based off ians exotic and star potential look. And you cant judge no ones height based off a picture. Brent says on 30/Jun/07
Iam surprised to find out this guy was a model???? Bombay Rocker says on 9/Jun/07
Are you kiddin me, he actually looks taller than rob to me and not just one inch which is 2.5 cms but more like 3 - 4 cms and that is night time so he is possibly a strong 176 something in the morning and no less that 5 feet 9 even at night. MD says on 7/Jun/07
For me, he'd have to be leaning significantly for him to be 5'9", but I'll ultimately trust Rob's judgement.
[Editor Rob: I wouldn't say if I didn't think he was.] MarkMark says on 7/Jun/07
The hat appears to add height. He looks almost exactly the same height as rob, if you remove the hat and account for his slight lean. G-unit says on 5/Jun/07
I kinda do believe him when he says he is 5'9, but i don't really know. In some way he seems a little, little, little bit shorter than 5'9. Possibly 5'8.5 but rounds up a half of an inch. radio_man says on 5/Jun/07
robert j..2 inches?!..james was like 3 or maybe 4 inches taller than him..
van der beek is 6'0..I think its 5'8 tops no more than that! Bombay Rocker says on 4/Jun/07
He looks like 2 cms taller than rob, ya an easy 5 feet 9 maybe 5 feet 9.5 but thats stretching it....so ya an easy 5 feet 9 for me.....rob has him spot on...good work rob. Hey rob i just read your little into thing up...so what you mean is that he seemed an easy 5 feet 9 to you at night with the same footwear on both of you guys?
[Editor Rob: I saw his shoes walking by the autograph thing when his jeans weren't draping over, I thought near 1.2, so barely any difference.
I was near front of queue so was standing there whilst photographer was telling him a few things, so could also guage him against photographer aswell, I believe he'd still measure 5ft 9 late at night, not drop under that mark.] MD says on 4/Jun/07
He certainly looks like the shortest 5'9" I've ever seen. lol Rob, did he appear 5'8", to you?
[Editor Rob: the blurb at top, he is losing a little height. He really did look a solid 5ft 9.] Pagey says on 4/Jun/07
Rob was he friendly?
[Editor Rob: from folk who talked to him more than me, yes, nobody had a bad word to say. I saw him at his table aswell but I was going up with a girl who wanted his auto, so wasn't going to gobble up any of her time with him, but well spoken guy, seemed unfazed.] Cat Stevens says on 4/Jun/07

James had about 2 inches on him in rules of attraction so 5'9'' sounds right. G-unit says on 21/Apr/07
kinda funny that this guy is 5'9 and still was a model for dolce&gabbana, guess etc. what the hell says on 13/Apr/07
this guy its 5'8 tops!!
no way he's 5'9 and viper if van der beek its 5'11 wich I dont think he is..ian has to be close 5'6 to 5'7 tops!!
[Editor Rob: that's not good news...because that puts me at only 5ft 5-6. I'm certainly not happy about that :)] radio_man says on 4/Apr/07
5'9 in lifts..
rob, I would bet on that lol!! haha
he doens't look 5'9 tome, maybe 5'8 but definetley not 5'9 radio_man says on 2/Apr/07
well if he is 5'9, van der beek must be like 6'2 and I dont think that's right
oit more like 5'7 to to 5'8 and van der beek as 6'0..maybe 6'1
the thing sis the you can believe everything you see on the tv, besides lifts they use a lot of camera flicks to make the actors taller..
ian it's not 5'9 I can bet on that!

just watching Law and Order SVU now, he's playing a psychopathic rapist murderer guy...anyhow, definitely not lower than 174cm. In various footwear from converse to work boots and looked average but not under, certainly not 5'7." radio_man says on 25/Mar/07
I think shannon its like 5'6 tops and 5'8 to 5'8.1/2 in those shoes, so I think Ian its like 172 cm tops and van der beek is correct as a 6'0 nikki says on 18/Mar/07
please post Shannyn Sossamon's height, to compare them two... In rules of attraction she's taller than Ian in those freaky shoes of hers radio_man says on 22/Feb/07

[Editor Rob: will, in June] bombay rocker says on 15/Jan/07
So rob is it you in pic?
Are you 5 feet 9?
You met ian right as you said .......do you think he is 5 feet 9 or more than 5 feet 9 like 5 feet 9.5 or 5 feet 10 cause i know for a fact that he is 5 feet 9 atleast? What do you make out of him?
[Editor Rob: i'm exactly 5ft 8, in that pic the bottom white line shows height at that moment (within1 hour after rising), i.e. close to 5ft 8.4. If I took it within 1 minute of waking it would be a little shy of 5ft 8.6. Actually, one day I might do this, retake this shot as it was tricky to set it up and try to get focus right and camera higher.
One day I'll also put ian pic on here. On flat ground, 6 inches away from him, in what appeared not dissimilar footwear, he looked no less than 5ft 9.] leyla says on 3/Dec/06

seems to be a weak 5'9, compare him to jared leto wich I consider as a strong 5'9. Jared is maybe 2cm taller than him, and they both are 5'9. I would say he's 174 and jared is 176. But yeah, we can call them 5'9 :) Editor Rob says on 2/Oct/06

Ian can look very good AND has a great posture. He does look 5'6'' - 5'9'' but I guess he's really 5'9''. His weight is 150lbs or something. That's what a Lost Fanbase had somewhen last year. There was a thread about the smokers on Lost and than Ian started chain-smoking again before his character was killed off but also that he worries to gain wheight when he stops, he's 150lbs and just 5'9''. UNK says on 29/Nov/05
Alright people... you ALL need to get this through your heads!!!! You do not need to be any specific height or weight to be a model, or anything for that matter. It is not the LAW, most fashion designers like models to be tall and thin, but there are many many exception to the rule. What kind of world do you think we live in... will they throw you in jail if you are a model under 6'0"?
You cannot assume a person's height based on their profession. Hannah says on 28/Nov/05

There are always exceptions to the rule. He's obviously one of them. Patrick from Germany says on 6/Jul/05
