He did look pretty close to 6`3 Krasinski.

I'd say 188cm so 6ft 2in.

Rob I wish you could meet this guy. Cos of his listing on your site people are now thinking Beyoncé is 5'3" whilst clearly she is a solid 5'6" just add at least 0.5" to make him 6'3.25" so that people are left with a 6'3.5" impression.THIS IS VERY FAIR ROB! VERY FAIR!

Idris has it. He has the swagger, the confidence, the extra-ordinary appeal that make a woman know in the corners of her soul that he will protect her, he will love her with a wholeness few men know, and he will make her feel safe mentally, phsyically and emotionally. This is the definition of a beautiful man and for one can't wait to see him on screen again, and again, and again....

J.J. says on 27/Apr/09
An extra 0.75" please! Rob he looks exactly the same as Boris Kudjoe and Boris is listed at 6'3.5" I tried so hard to check if Boris is actually taller but it's just not working. So if you think Boris is taller then am a bit worried. Idris is always looking almost as tall as Tyler Perry. I also think Tyler perry doesn't look proper 6'5" cos he is always bending since he hardly find people taller

I think Elba's well-defined broad build gives him a taller impression. I think the current height is appropriate.

stephen says on 18/Apr/09
thats strange Hannah, cos i saw 2 episodes yesterday and Elba looked the same if not 1cm taller than John Krasinski. Unless he wore lifts to make him appear more empowering. which sounds a good idea.

Hannah says on 20/Mar/09
He looked shorter than 6'3" John Krasinski on the Office yesterday.

J.J. says on 25/Feb/09
That gap is huge Gerard looks at least 2.5" shorter possibly 3". Rob could you do me a huge favour by listing this guy at the 6'4" that he is rather than the 6'2" that he isn't. If You don't want to then at least list him @ 6'3.5" so that people can view your site as being reliable. From my view i think he is 6'4" although I'll accept 6'3.75" & nothing less.

Here's another couple of pics of him looking taller then Gerald Butler though footwear may be different. He's somewhat slouching.

Looks more than an inch to me but I'm no expert.

Nick says on 23/Feb/09
He looks the same height as Boris Kodjoe in these pics.

Gerard Butler is listed as 6'1.25 here. To be fair Gerard Butler is probably 6'1.5. So I think Elba is 6'2 at least. Maybe 6'3 max

Sam says on 26/Jan/09
He looked easily 4 inches than Denzel Washington in American Gangster. That's where a lot of the 6'4" claims come from. He could definitely pass as 6'3".

Dsmooth says on 26/Jan/09
He looks a solid 6'2, maybe even 6'2.5 max. 6'3-6'4 seems like a stretch though.

Jboogie says on 4/Dec/08
he towers over Gabrielle Union in daddys little girl

Bruce says on 1/Nov/08
he is 6-4 PLEASE CHANGE IT

Zach says on 23/Oct/08
my guess he's a good 6ft 2.5, or he's a solid 6ft 3!, he was just a tad taller than 6ft 2" Butler in Rocknrolla

Anonymous says on 7/Oct/08
Don't know his height , but his talent and charisma make him seem 7 foot tall. Great actor with a seemingly great personality in interviews..I can't believe he's only 6 foot tall though.And by the way, I loved Daddy's Little Girl..it was too short, characters weren't developed enough, but it hit home with me and quite a few people who grew up in that type of culture/background.

nate says on 6/Oct/08
thats weird that he said he's only 6' though...

Anonymous says on 29/Sep/08
he is taller than 6ft 2 gerard butler in rock n rolla

Anonymous says on 26/Sep/08
He's not 6'4 at all

Compare him to 6' Gerrard Butler in RockNrolla, he doesnt have 4 inches on him, and he CERTAINLY wouldnt claim 6' if he was 6'4..

Throughout the movie he stands face to face and side to side with Butler, he is marginally taller than him, beats him by perhaps an inch, PERHAPS

----> Click Here

That pic proves my point..Gerrard with 5'11 Raul Click Here

What do you think?..

Gerrard butler is not 6'3...infact the the pics and evidence on here seem to suggest 6'

I would take Idris account of his height over what people say - He has a HUGE frame that can make him look taller, I#d give him around 6'1 slouching

Bruce says on 7/Sep/08
can someone please change this guy's height. He is a full blown 6'4" man.

Bruce says on 22/Aug/08
He is either 6'4" or nearly. this height needs to be changed

Daii says on 2/Aug/08
hes huge in american gangster, probably 6'4

Bruce says on 20/Jun/08
i have met him in london b4 he is 6'3.5" i am very positive about this

Anonymous says on 21/Apr/08
Used to work with him. He's around 6'3"-6'4"

thekiddd says on 20/Mar/08
I think this guy is 6'3". Does anyone here consider 6'3" roughly 6 feet? Some people do and some people don't.

Jamaal says on 1/Mar/08
hES PRETTY TALL MET HIM AT A AWARD SHOW IWENT 2 HE SEEMED ABOUT 6'3 2 6'4

Kid-Icarus says on 20/Nov/07
He looked about 6'5" in daddy's litte girls. Garbage movie but he looked immense in that movie.

sam says on 7/Nov/07
It's really hard to believe that this guy is anything under 6'2'.

Bobo says on 4/Nov/07
He looks far taller in American Gangster. if he is a legit 6 feet (or alittle over) then Denzil has to be a lot smaller. He looks huge on screen.

Anonymous says on 6/Sep/07
No, this guy is a legit 6'2 (without shoes) for sure.

Bobo says on 31/Aug/07
He is British, a native Londoner. He is best known for The Wire. He is the same height as Gerard Butler so I am thinking a little over 6 .05

J. says on 31/Jan/06
He's actually was born and bred in the UK.
