he looked about two inches taller than jared leto in highway Lenad says on 10/Dec/08
Reese Witherspoon can look 5'1 tops at times I will admit that. Lenad says on 10/Dec/08
I dont know, he looks pretty tall next to Reese Witherspoon. James says on 6/Dec/08

A solid 183 or a weak 184. James says on 28/Nov/08

When you compare him to Reese Witherspoon a strong 6'0 doesnt seem out of the question. James says on 31/Oct/08
Yeah and Heath Ledger was probably 6ft.05. Nick says on 29/Oct/08
He was a little shorter then Heath Ledger when i saw them stand next to eachother he is proble 6 foot or 5'11.5 Anonymous says on 4/Oct/08
he is 5'11.05 to be exact Dave says on 17/Sep/08

Which movie is this ? I guess it's not how he dresses usually. James says on 25/Aug/08
5ft11ish probably J.J.F says on 13/Aug/08
5'11" at BEST. Never looks taller next to other guys we have almost legit heights on...
He is though very well proportioned which can make people tricky to size up (other examples include Clooney and Eric Bana - unless you have a good example standing next to them they could both easily look six foot exactly...) artek says on 12/Aug/08
im a big gyllenhaal fan and i totally agree the dude can look a legit 6 foot, hes a big guy and absolutely dwarfs witherspoon. but if ryan phillipe is the 5' 8"-8.5" listed here than what do you guys make of this picture
theyre bother in trainers from what ive seen in other pictures of the set. in my opinion gyllenhaal looks like a really strong 5' 11" like maybe .75" but there's no way hes 6' 1". I'm new to this all so what do u guys think? Misc says on 12/Aug/08

Jake and Kirsten Dunst were having lunch at a cafe that I was at. When he first stood up, I would say 5-10. As I passed him, and he straightened out, he was definitely close to 6 feet. B says on 17/Jul/08
I think this guy just has bad poster that's all, he is most likely 6' 0'' or near it so 182 cm or 183 cm is what he looks to me. Steve says on 6/Jun/08
Hi, Jake is currently filming a movie titled "Nailed" and I met him today. Im 6ft 190lbs and he is much shorter than I am with a smaller frame. I estimate he is between 5'8 and 5'10. He wasnt much taller than my 17 yr old daughter and she is 5'7. Davey says on 2/Jun/08
wow thats a shock.I always figured this guy to be short for some reason.looks 6 foot in the pic glenn says on 29/May/08

5'11, really doesn't look a full 6ft. I think its time for a downgrade. glenn says on 30/Apr/08
thats a weird angle and posture.thats all.then,if thats the case whats heath? 6-2,6-3? heath was 6-1. timber says on 29/Apr/08

wow idk what he did but he is SO much better looking these days! Honestly...great pics and I would never think he was that tall to be honest. I would think he was at least a couple inches shorter. He looks 5'10 or slightly taller in the first pic posted! Height Fiend says on 8/Mar/08
im a big fan of his but 6'0 is way off unless he had lifts, he is between 5'9 and 5'11 there are pics of him with Robert Downey Jr who is a safe 5'8 and there is an inch or 2 but NOT more i say 5'10. Unless downey had 2 inch lifts and Jake didnt. Jim says on 4/Mar/08
he must of grown since donnie darko, because in donnie he looked on the shorter side around 5 10 , and he had a small frame too. in jarhead he looked like taller guy 6 ft 6 1 maybe, but he also put on alot of muscle as well. Lean and muscular people will look taller, while stocky will look shorter. dmeyer says on 20/Jan/08
he had mike with 1 in heels and looked about 6 ft i dont think he needs help to reach 6'0 Sharin says on 20/Jan/08
He looked quite a bit smaller than Jonathan Ross (about 6'1")at the last Baftas, maybe he wears lifts to get to 6ft? dmeyer says on 18/Jan/08
in both pics looks 6 ft and i met him yesturday he seemed about that range JDog From Sac says on 18/Jan/08
I'm 5'11 barefoot, and I ran into him at a starbucks in burbank and I was eye to eye with him he might have been a hair taller. Not sure what foot wear he wears. But i had some Basketball shoes on that put me at about 6 0.5, So IMO he is bare foot in the 5'11 to 6ft range. dmeyer says on 18/Jan/08
after meeting this guy he seems honest 6 ft could be 5'11.75 close enaugh his claim dmeyer says on 17/Jan/08
between 181cm to 183cm barefeet looked very close to my height dmeyer says on 17/Jan/08
i talked to him tonight ,we had similar trainers and he looks very similar height to mine slightly taller maybe no more than 6 ft SABELLA says on 2/Jan/08
he does looks 6ft in pictures, glenn when u first saw him did you knew that he is 6ft canadian girl says on 29/Dec/07
6'0 for sure, in the poic hes leaning and slouchg a bit so its hard to tell, but hes definally 6'0. Joe says on 29/Nov/07
Yeah, I think 6 foot is about right, I was recently an extra on one of his films and he was a little taller than me. I am 5'10 with my big shoes on that I wore and he was still taller. I'm normally scratching 5'8" without them LOL. Anonymous says on 15/Nov/07
about the glenn pic...my dad is 5-8 and that is minimally about how much i clear on my dad. i am 5-11.25 in morning. pics are misleading often though. i think the best evidence is real life sightings. Greg says on 27/Oct/07

he was on john stewart last night, honestly he only looked 2 inches taller! Gonzalo says on 16/Oct/07
I saw Zodiac yesterday. He didn´t seem much taller than Robert Downey Jr, who mut be 1`75 at the most. From the movie Jake looks around 1`80. He was slightly taller than Koteas who is listed here at 1`79. I think Gyllenhaal tends to slouch often, which makes him look shorter than what he really is 5 ft 9 is still short says on 10/Oct/07
he never looked short in his movies, so i would say he is a solid 5 ft 11. all 6 footers claim 6 ft 1. you never hear anyone say 6 ft. myspace celebrity says on 5/Oct/07

I think that I can't notice the different inches between Jake and Heath Ledger if it's just 1 inch. But I clearly can see that Jake is shorter, so I say either Jake is below 6' or Heath's over 6'1. kittyfantastico says on 2/Aug/07
He is so around 6ft are you people blind or something? He's quite built, which is hard to see under his suits and clothes because his height gives the impression of him being a bit more slender. If he were 5'10" as some of you are saying he would look like a box dmeyer says on 25/Jul/07

KylieBaby, check the post on 6/Apr/07. Notice the shoes each are wearing in the pictures? isabella says on 1/Jun/07
Annonymous - the problem with those pics you posted is that I have seen many that show the contrary, with Gyllenhaal looking to be the taller one. I've tried to post them on here before but they dont seem to make it to the board. Anyways, just a guess here, but since there seems to be so many pics that one minute show Heath to be the taller, and the next show Jake having an inch or 2 on him, its safe to say they are VERY close in height, if not both somewhere between the 6' - 1' mark.

heath ledger (who is 6'1) and jake gyllenhaal. heath is slouching somewhat so i know thats throwing it off a bit, but this shows they are very close to the same height if not exactly. Colton says on 2/May/07
he looked respectably tall in jarhead. that black sargeant in the movie when he has to stir the **** or w e that black sargeant that comes is about 6 foot 6 so i think 6 foot or 6 1 would be accurate for jake. Goldenchild says on 21/Apr/07
i met him when i was doing extra work in montreal. he was a jerk he was making fun of a geeky looking extra. he was not known yet but someone said he was the bubble boy and donnie darko kid.kirsten dunst was there that day. hse was really nitchy maybe hes a good guy just misguided when he waswith her. she started the geeky comment.None the less i am an obejective: solid 6foot. i am 180 at nith and 182 in the midday. he was taller than me . though wearing boots dont know if there is lifts probably not.co satrs were tall: austin nichols 6-3 , emmy rossum 5-7, 5-8 and arjay smith 5-10. Peet says on 7/Apr/07
Jake look 5'11.25'' (181 cm.) he taller than Glenn about 8 cm. And the very true reason why I believe jake is 181 cm. is the picture of Jake and Gwyneth Paltrow, he's shorter than Gwyneth. Gwyneth just only 5'9'' (176 cm.) tall she wear 3.5 inch heels , but she taller than Jake about 3 cm. It's cleary about his height is around 5'11''. glenn says on 7/Apr/07

Glenn, we know you've met him. You've probably already said that at least four times in this thread, not to mention the obvious pictures, so there's no reason to keep repeating it ad nauseum - the picture speaks more than your thousand words. In the top picture he looks 5'11" to 6'0", especially if you're 5'8" in the morning.
Even in premiere pictures with Ledger, where Ledger is wearing chucks and Gyllenhaal is in boots, he is still around an inch shorter:

To me, Jake doesn't look 6'0 tall. I think he is probably 5'10. If he's 6'0
tall, then I'm 5'8. Just kidding! I'm only 5'3 1/2. Anonymous says on 2/Apr/07
If Glenn is 5'8" in the morning (and ~5'7.5"-5'7.25" at night) then Jake looks about 5"11.5" max, if he stood straight - I don't think he's leaning THAT much. It seems to me that if Jake were a solid 6'0" then his eye-line would be easily cresting Glenn's head, even leaning like he is in the top picture.
Also, based on the George Clooney pic with Glenn, I would say that ~5'11"-6'0" (182cm) for Jake is about accurate. Close enough to the six he claims, although I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he's 5'11" barefoot. Anonymous says on 16/Mar/07
well i aint most men im a legit 6ft richinkle and i dont add an inch pffft 6'2.5'' JK says on 14/Mar/07
He'd be a legit 6'0.5'' if he stood straight and if he were not hunched in the new pic with 5'8'' Glenn Anonymous says on 14/Mar/07
In the top photo above, shouldn't the top of Glenn's head be level with just below Jake's eyebrows? That's what I understand to be a four-inch height difference for people of Jake's and Glenn's sizes. richinkle says on 13/Mar/07
I agree with PC. Nearly ALL men (short, tall and in between) add an inch to their height. Most TALL women subtract an inch. timber says on 13/Mar/07
agree, Viper. apologize if I came across overly confident/annoying, Glenn. PC says on 13/Mar/07
richinkle that is kinda true, although in my experience women can also add a few inches especially the short ones who wear heals most of the time glenn says on 13/Mar/07
like you pc and anthony,he looks 6ft,6-1 to me.in other occasions in the past he looked 6-1 to me.this night,6ft.he had dress shoes.of course in the new photo he looks possibly 6-1.not what he looked like though in the flesh. Reborn says on 13/Mar/07
To me he doesn't really look 6ft in Donnie Darko, but on these photos he sure does. richinkle says on 12/Mar/07
He looks about 5'-11" to me. My observation is that most men add about an inch to their heights. Most women deduct about an inch. RobertJ says on 12/Mar/07
Very interesting pic, he doesn't look 6 feet to me. PC says on 12/Mar/07
Wow I didnt expect Gyllenhaal to look his stated height, but he is slouching big time and looks like he's probably closer to 6ft 1 standing straight! Was there anything peculiar about his shoes Glenn? Anthony says on 12/Mar/07
Jake is really not stnading straight in the new pic. If he straightened up fully. I cans ee him being 6', even 6'1. For someone who fluctuates in pohots, Glenn always catches him looking tall. I think he's legit. Again, photos often alter people's perceptions on height. AAAA says on 12/Mar/07
he is leaning like crazy... he would look a good 6 is he straightned up a bit Viper says on 12/Mar/07
Im not even sure he reaches 6-0 in Glenn's pic. Gonzalo says on 12/Mar/07
I think he is 6 feet. He doesn´t look 6`1 in movies or in pics with fellow arttists. To me, for instance, Kevin Costner is 6`1; weel, he looks taller to me than ugly Gyllenhall. But I haven`t seen him in the flesh so it is just a guess. glenn says on 12/Mar/07
well as my proof shows,your opinions are wrong viper and timber.i see the guy plenty,and he can come across as 6-1.and my 6-1 friend comes across as 5-11 with a slouch.i love timbers confidence.hot air. timber says on 9/Mar/07
Totally agree, Viper. 6 ft? please. Viper says on 9/Mar/07
What evidence do you have to backup your claim?
The MANY photos where he fluncuates in height, big time. Leung, I dont downgrade people. I honestly give my opinion. I have numerous times agreed with Rob's listings, a couple of times saying he was underlisting people under 6-0 no less. But most of these celebs, athletes, ect. are fudged. Anonymous says on 9/Mar/07
in his movies he looks 6 foot MD says on 8/Mar/07
Horse, you're ridiculous. So, because Jake begins to look shorter that must mean (or even likely) that Damien Fahey is 6'2"? Ha! Leung says on 8/Mar/07
Viper, you seem to understate the height of most celebrities in your comments. You are entitled to you opinions but you do seem very biased towards downsizing everyone. I think that the ‘everyone in Hollywood is short’ myth is playing on your mind which is strongly influencing your judgement.
You claimed “Jake wears lifts. Im 100 percent positive.”
What evidence do you have to backup your claim? Viper says on 8/Mar/07
Timber, Jake wears lifts. Im 100 percent positive. His height REALLY fluncuates in photos. Viper says on 8/Mar/07
Horse, you are delusional with your upgrades on EVERYBODY. Fahey has looked anywhere from 6-0-6-2 in pictures, but not 6-3, lol. The Horse of FUNK says on 8/Mar/07
I'm beginning to think that Damien Fahey guy is like 6'3" or something, maybe even a little higher. Either that or I'm gonna start calling him 'The Height Buster', 'cause this guy manages to reduce every celeb by 2 - 3 inches from their commonly perceived height... while in converse and trainers! He even makes Matthew McConaughey look 5'10 at best.

He may not be 6' but when you make claims like 5'10 you make every other skeptic look bad. Jake's eyeline, on the show, was right at Jon's head - so if Jon is 5'6, then Jake appeared between 5'11" - 6' at most. This seems consistent with every other picture out there. Anonymous says on 28/Feb/07

rob, you should upgrade maggie's height (i think shes listed at 5'9" on here) because there is no way if jake is a legit 6'0" that she is anywhere under 5'10" (judging by the two pictures) . i think she could be anywhere from 5'10"-6'0.5".. who knows Jay says on 26/Dec/06

I work at the Mac store at the Grove and today. Dec.6th, 2006 Jake Gyllenhaal and Liam Stone walked in to the store nearly at the same time.. not together but seperate. I was helping jake and Liam Stone came up to Jake and said "Liam Stone, Just watched Brokeback ..great work" then he walked away apparently to by a I POD nano for his daughter I over heard. Both guys were standing eye to eye and looked at least six feet. Stone was wearing boots and Jake was not so Jake may be a little taller than six foot. Liam Stone looked taller from a distance but it's because his head is smaller in porportion to his body. Jake had a larger head in proportion to his body so at a distance alone he does not look as tall as Liam Stone but may be taller than him. I would place jake at 6ft 1in if Stone is Six foot even.

Thank you Anthony. snarkysparkly says on 29/Oct/06
I have a two-pronged theory on why people "downgrade" Jake, as Anthony says.
A general one: A loooong time ago, people thought leading men were, of course, tall. Then word got out that a lot of them were shrimpy and were standing on boxes or the leading lady was standing in a trench so it would look like the leading man was taller. Since that revelation, there has been a "backlash" wherein no one believes it when an actor actually IS relatively tall.
A specific-to-Jake one: although he otherwise has the proportions of a tall person (leggy, large hands with long fingers, etc.) he also has an ENORMOUS head. I think that when people look at a picture of him without anything nearby to use as a frame of reference, they see a huge head on a disproportionately small body and think, "no one could have a head that big, ergo, he must have a normal sized head and a teeny little body." But if you see him next to a person with a normal sized head, it is much clearer that his head and face are like three times larger than theirs.
I said two but I have a third, this one also general: six feet isn't really extremely tall.
I have thought too much about this. Anonymous says on 28/Oct/06
he looks 183cm 2 me all the time i have never seen him shorter than that Rome says on 23/Oct/06

I tried posting some of the same pictures as MD. I even had one with him and Sarsgaard where Sarsgaard is wearing flip-flops and Jake is in basketball shoes and jake was maybe a cm or two taller. I think he's decent 5'11" or maybe barely six feet, but I don't see him above that at all.
There's another pic where Jake and Sarsgaard are walking on the sidewalk, wearing similar shoes, and Sarsgaard is walking on the "higher" part of the sidewalk and he is noticably taller. If Jake was taller than Sarsgaard wouldn't they be roughly the same height on the sidewalk?
There's just no way he's 6'1", or even close to that. He certainly not short or average, but I haven't seen any evidence pointing to Jake being that tall (6'-6'1"), other than Glenn's sighting. I mean there has to be atleast ONE picture out there that would have him being around 6'1/2" - 6'1", right? Where is it? sam says on 20/Oct/06
I wear a 36" inseam and I'm about 6'5". I can pull of a shorter inseam and I wouldn't ever wear longer than 36". Gyllenhaal must be disportionately long-legged for his height, which I've never noticed. MD says on 19/Oct/06
A 36" inseam would be for a VERY tall person, taller than even 6'1". Glenn says on 18/Oct/06
Good point Snarky. snarkysparkly says on 18/Oct/06
I have only read this thread, not the whole site, so I don't know if this counts for anything or not, but on the eBay auction of Brokeback wardrobe items, the size of the jeans he wore is given as 34X36. I'm a 5'8" woman, and my inseam is 32. A 36 inseam would be for a pretty tall person, I would think. Any guys here that wear a 36? anonymous2 says on 6/Oct/06

Sly can do it easily. Anonymous says on 3/Oct/06
i tihnk tha glenn has a point about 5-9 appear like 6-1 its really absurd Glenn says on 2/Oct/06
Correct Viper.meaning Sly IS 5-10. Viper652 says on 2/Oct/06
Glenn, Sly can appear as tall as 6-2 it seems. Glenn says on 30/Sep/06
The smallest Jake is,is 6ft.no way can a 5-9 man wear lifts in dress shoes and appear 6-1 or more to me.absurd. anonymous2 says on 27/Sep/06
I agree with Viper (again) 5'9 and he wears lifts to appear 183 cm MD says on 25/Sep/06
What's your point, James? Anonymous says on 20/Sep/06

I think Jake wears lifts. Anonymous says on 19/Sep/06

Certain big name male actors might not like starring opposite a legit 6'1''-6'2'' guy... Anonymous says on 18/Sep/06
Saw him at Stubbs in Austin Texas this weekend and then again at Uchi Sushi. He was a good four inches shorter than my 6'2" boyfriend. He looked 5'10" and is a really bad dancer (but crazy hot). J. says on 18/Sep/06
Still, why downplay an inch? It's just silly and weird of him to downplay an inch or two when you're only 6'1"-ish. I mean, he won't lose roles at 6'1" or 6'2". It would make sense for a James Cromwell to downplay his height than Gyllenhaal. And no, I have not seen him in the flesh and have zero desire to do so. :-) Glenn says on 18/Sep/06
Then how is he 2 inches taller than 5-11 Peter Saarsgard when I see them jogging or walking in the street? have you seen jake in the flesh? J. says on 17/Sep/06
Really, Glenn? He's looks a solid 6 footer to me. Nothing more, nothing less. He's not tall enough to be downplaying his height. Glenn says on 16/Sep/06
He is downplaying his height. Anonymous says on 16/Sep/06
ya thats what i mean. everyone thinks that he is not taller than 6ft but he is Glenn says on 16/Sep/06
Thank you.he always seemed taller than 6ft. Anonymous says on 15/Sep/06
look.all of these pictures cant prove anything .if u want to know how tall is jake you need to stand right next to him like glenn did.am i right glenn Glenn says on 12/Sep/06
The guy is possibly 6-1.thats what he looks in the street,and is 2 inches taller than 5-11 Saarsgard.6ft min. Anonymous says on 11/Sep/06
Uh first of all you have NO place to tell me you're realistic and I'm not you have no idea who I am or what I'm about. And secondly you haven't met him, I on the other hand have, it seems to me like you're bitter for being called out. But I'm not going to argue with you because I don't have time to. I know how tall he is, and anyone else who has met him does as well so you can believe what you want, it really doesn't matter to me anymore. Viper652 says on 29/Aug/06
Im realistic. You are not. Anonymous says on 28/Aug/06
Ok like I said b4 PICTURES do NOT prove anything, unless you have personally met him there is no way ypu can call any judgments. Sorry, but its the way it is. Plus Viper you downgrade just about everyone. Viper652 says on 17/Aug/06
Explain why he looks shorter than 6-0 in half the photos of him? I dont think he is a legit 6-0 at all. Anonymous says on 16/Aug/06
All of these downgrading comments are pointless, jake is 6 ft at least, I have met him, he was considerably taller than me and basically everyone around me. And all he was wearing were Ugg Slippers and I doubt that he had lifts added to them so unless I'm like 5' 6" (which I'm NOT) jake is NOT under 6 ft. Viper652 says on 11/Aug/06
I think he wears lifts. MD says on 10/Aug/06
I guess Jay Leno is a full 6'0" or 6'1", then, since he was the same height, if not even .25-.5" taller, than Jake when he was last on his shoe. Glenn says on 10/Aug/06
Correct.thank you. Anonymous says on 8/Aug/06
I NEVER MET HIM BUT IN PICTUERS HE LOOKS AROUND 6-1 Jack says on 19/Jul/06
Based on that picture with Lance and Matthew. He looks around 5-11 to 6-0. Just my 2 cents!!!! But you really can't go by a picture!! Glenn says on 17/Jul/06
Exactly JoJo.he always looked 6-1 to me. D. Ray Morton says on 16/Jul/06
I've never met Jake, nor have I ever even seen him in person, but just looking at the guy in photos onscreen...he's gotta be a 6-footer. I find it very hard to believe that he's any less than that. jojocrab says on 15/Jul/06
this morning I was playing in a pick up basketball game around 11, on the venice beach back court. Anyways, it was a 5 on 5 full court and Jake Gyllenhaal was on the other team. I am new to this site, but I found it because I was impressed by his height. I thought he was short, but he was the tallest on the court. Around 6'1, no shorter than 6.05. Also, he was playing really rough. It was surprising, but he was shoving a shorter defender around on offense and on D he was pushing through picks and cursing at people.
Anyways, he is 6'1. I have never had a stanogram, but I assume I am 5'11 barefoot and 160 pounds. He is 6 foot 1 and 180-185 pounds. Glenn says on 15/Jul/06
You guys are too much.you never see any of these people,and now from shaving 2 inches off of celebs,now your shaving 3.I WITNESSED,in the FLESH,Jake and Peter Saarsgard(5-11) in the street the other day and Jake was 2 inches taller.always looked 6-1 to me.always,in sneakers and dress shoes.he is 6ft minimum.read below comments of people backing me. Viper652 says on 15/Jul/06
Hes 5-9 in reality MD says on 14/Jul/06
He has to be a lift wearer, or simply wears thickly-heeled shoes at premiers. I can't buy the 6'0", not even for a minute. hello says on 14/Jul/06
I dont' think Jake is 6. I am a 5.9 tall girl and my friend is 6f tall and so she looks much taller then me, as for Jake when he has some average heighted women wearing heels next to him he looks the same height as she. So I think he is 5.10, like my other friend who is like 5.10 and a half and is noticibly taller then I. Anonymous says on 13/Jul/06
He is a touch taller than Lance Armstrong, who is 5'9.5". I think it's best to say Jake is 5'10.5". feet and foot says on 2/Jun/06
The least thins to do is to assume some's height by watching the movies, it's the same talking about actress' hair color - it can be canged in five minutes!!! But in general I think he is under 6 feet, look at his real life pics, he looks average. ForensicNYC says on 5/May/06
Jake Gyllenhaal worked out with his bike mates on April 29, 2006 in Los Angeles riding his BLUE CANNONDALE R2000 racer bike with some other riders speeding trough MALIBU. The SHIMANO equipped bike FRAME CONFIGURATION looks like it's for a 5'10" person (like Lance Armstrong) and Jake is clearly TOO BIG FOR THE BIKE!
The saddle stem post is already mounted to the LIMIT of 8" high. This clearly indicates that Jake Gyllenhaal is 6'0" or MORE...
He wore a silver helmet, white parka, red shirt underneath, black sweat pants (full lenght cycling shorts), Shimano cycling shoes...the bikes were loaded in a silver AUDI sportwagon... Glenn says on 25/Apr/06
Amen to that Anonymous.once I thought he looked 6-1! Anonymous says on 23/Apr/06
Ok all of you people that are saying "there is no way jake is taller than 5' 10" judging by these pictures..." If you haven't personally met him, how do you even call your judgments? Pictures don't prove EVERYthing. I have met jake and I know for a fact that he is at least 6' because he was wearing ugg slippers when I met him and there is virtually NO lift in an ugg slipper. So sorry to dissapoint you all but jake is a pretty tall guy, 6' at least. Viper652 says on 21/Apr/06
Man, I still cant beleive that Jamiie Foxx is anything over 5-8. He looks short every time I see him. JD says on 20/Apr/06
Jake IS 5'10".
He might use lifts sometimes but most of the time he DOES look 5'10" (me), plus MD's photos proved and settled it, Jamies Foxx is also 5'10". caz says on 18/Apr/06
looks like he is slouching a bit... ds says on 14/Apr/06
Okay my dad is 6' and he's taller than a LOT of guys. You can tell he's tall. Lot's of guys are estimated to be 6' when they're really 5'10" or 5'11", it's a common mistake. I'm not saying that he is 5'10". But he just doesn't look that tall. I'll have to see more pics. Elio says on 7/Apr/06
5'10"?? Ang Lee looks about 5'6" to me! :) trueheight says on 6/Apr/06
anyone know Ang Lee's height? He looks 5'10 based on Brokeback Premiere photos Glenn says on 29/Mar/06
Funny,whenever someone backs my claim,its from a person who met the celeb.not usually a person at home wit dvds Anonymous says on 28/Mar/06
Well I had the privelage to meet Jake during the filming of his movie Jarhead. He was filming a few scenes down at CSUCI (california state university of channel islands) which is about five minutes from where I live. So my photography class and I were invited to come and see some of the behind the scenes stuff. While we were there one of the camera men asked if we wanted to meet somebody special and out walked Jake in a bathrobe, pajama bottoms and ugg slippers. He was significantly taller than me (seeing as I stood next to him) and I am a little bit under 5' 10". I personally think he is at least 6' 0" even, because uggs don't give that much of a lift. smokeblower says on 27/Mar/06
Jamie Foxx may be starting to wear lifts now since he has become "very" famous. So it may not necessarily be a good idea to use Jamie Foxx as a calibratory element in regards to judging someone's height. Anonymous says on 25/Mar/06
All I know is that he's not much taller than Elijah Wood in the pictures on Wireimage.com. I don't think that he could be over 5'9" or 10". He is shorter than Leno and Leno is only 5'10". Hmmm. I think his papparazzi shots show how avg. height he is too. This is no 6 foot by any means. Viper652 says on 9/Mar/06
Jake truly looked 5-9.5 at the Academy awards. He looked average height. This guys height seems to fluncutuate. He might wear lifts. Mikex says on 24/Feb/06
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper it said he was 6'2'' which supports anonymous below. However from my memory of Donnie Darko he didn't strike me as that tall. Anonymous says on 23/Feb/06
i always imagined him being short for some reason, but i actually walked right by him a couple weeks ago, and he seemed very close to my height. im just about 6'3''. rae says on 23/Feb/06
In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, Jake Gyllenhaal & Dennis Quaid are around the same height. I would have never pictured Jake to be 6'0, but after watching that movie again, I know he has to be. phil g says on 23/Feb/06
i met jake and he was taller than me and im 6' MD says on 21/Feb/06
If Jake is a legitimate 6'0" barefoot, than Jay Leno must be 6'0.5"-6'1" barefoot. lol
[Editor Rob: someone mentioned a comment - deleted by mistake - about Jake at the baftas beside Theron...not looking quite 6ft...] |
