Jamal was right lots of male celebs add 2inch on. Honest Elba looking a legit 6ft2maximum. he could have pass for a 6ft3mark.

i simply agree with jamal. elba looks 6ft3.
Jamal says on 20/Jun/10
He should just say he's 6ft3, other celebs claim 2 more inches, and he's just adding a cm. And he looks 6ft3 as well.

Travis McCoy was not 6ft4 at all. Elba next to him looking at the equal height. Idris was 2/10 honest actor who claim his real height. 6"2-3/4 spot on!

'At 6ft 5in, in low-slung jeans and a soft cotton shirt which clings nonchalantly to the hard lines of his torso, Elba is undeniably blessed in the gene department.'

I'd give him 6'3, although 6'5 is the highest I've seen him listed.

Looks 6ft 3" on LUTHER

I could buy 6' 3". He looked huge in The Losers and towered over most of his co-stars.

in the movie obsessed jerry o connell is 6-3 and idris elba stood at an 1/2 inch to a inch taller."

I'll second that, ,except that Jerry is 6'2".

Here's another pic of him and the 6'4" Travis McCoy and although their posture isn't too great he doesn't look too far off.

Spot on. Looked this next to Gerard Butler
Dylan says on 18/Sep/09
This guy is NOT 6'. He is more like 6'3 or 6'4. Watch him in any movie, American Gangster, This Chirstmas. Chris Brown is listed at 6' and Irdis has him by about 3 inches and in American Gangster he definetly lukz a full 6'4. Mabye he wore lifts or something but definetly is a solid 6'3 bare foot

Stringer Bell is taller than 6ft 2" Avon Barksdale in The Wire. He looks 6ft 3" atleast
Anonymous says on 16/Jul/09
clearly taller than krasinski in the office
Ace says on 20/Jun/09
He did look pretty close to 6`3 Krasinski.
Anonymous says on 15/Jun/09
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
J, says on 26/Apr/09
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.
