I find it hard to belive Tom Hanks is in the 6ft1 range.

Hugh says on 20/Mar/08
He's tall. I was in Paris when they filmed the Da Vinci Code. I saw Reno, Hanks and Molina. Hanks looked 6ft1ish. Reno 6ft2.5ish and Molina 6ft3. And yes he's considered a giant by french standards.

When I was living in Montreal,I saw him a long time at the end of a concert of big french star and friend of him, Johnny Hallyday.
I am 1M79 and he seems to be 1M86 but I am sure he isn't 1M90. Very sympathic person.
By the way, I am french and I am not considered like a tall guy compared to other French men (french male average tall in 2006 is 1M76)

About French height, nowadays one: yes, they are much taller than "yesterday" (not hard!)but also much, much thinner!
The same amount of “flesh” but distributed along a narrow and unmusculed long body, over a thin and frail skeleton!
By the way, I am French too!
Jean Reno match, Yves Montand, was 187/188, thus 6'2, and towered everybody not only in movies but in the street where I met him in the 80ies!
He was very well built as Jean reno is and that's what makes the difference! Jean-Pierr Marielle, another 6’1 actor, looked as Rock Hudson in French movies for decades.
I thought long that some actors were really tall in France while they just were about 5’11 or 6 as Alain Delon, Michel Piccoli.
I remember 5’11 Robert Stack looking really tall in a 1967 French movie!

I m french and I saw jean réno.I m 180cm so I think jean réno was 189 190

Jean Reno looks between 6'2 and 6'3 IMO.

1m87/88 is the good estimation. Which is pretty tall for a french. French average height is 1m75, but the young french are much taller than the older generations. I've read once that the french who are about 20 years old now reach 1m78, that's much taller than 50 years ago!

6'2 looks right. He looked really big in "Leon". He towered over Oldman. And Portman, who probably wasn't even 5' at the time.

The pic with Chirac and Douillet is badly taken ...
Douillet seems almost Reno's height whereas he is 196cm tall (6'5"1/4) ...
My guess is Chirac 188 and Reno 190 ...

in davinci hanks looked very close to reno height but a friend of mine took a pic of them and hanks looked 5 cm shorter also in les rivieres pourpres reno was taller than 188 cassel

Andreas says on 25/Sep/06
by the way, for those unfamiliar, 6'1" is 185.42 cm and 6'2" is 187.96 cm, so he's somewhere in between... say 6'1".5

Andreas says on 25/Sep/06
Met and spoke to Jean Reno about ten times. I love socialising with him because, much like David Beckham (5'10.5), he has no airs of pretentiousness just because he's a celeb and enjoys conversing with normal, average people. According to what he told me, when he enlisted the help of a personal trainer to lose some weight back in 1995 or so, he stands at exactly 186 cm, but is often made to wear shoes with thick soles and sizeable heels when cast for roles in which he plays a forceful character.

I always thought he was around 1`90 but in French Kiss he didn´t look taller than Kevin Kline. Kline is tall but next 1`93-95 guys he looks much shorter, like 8-10 cm. I guess Reno is 1`86-87 and so is Kline

nima says on 21/Jun/06
jean reno is 6'2 1/2" (190) and he looks shorter because his waist is bent

Jo says on 2/Jun/06
He looks two inches taller than Tom hanks in The Da Vinci Code

dmeyer says on 18/May/06
he might be close to the 6'3" he is claiming

Anonymous says on 16/May/06
190 is possible since he looks almost 20 cm taller than cruise

dmeyer says on 14/Mar/06
6'2" seems close

Anonymous says on 9/Feb/06
i think he is in the 188 190 cm range

Anonymous 2 says on 23/Jan/06
It stated to make 189 cm 6' 2 1/2"at Michel drucker.la same size was quoted in film" wasabi "189CM"

[Editor Rob: yeah, I can maybe see this...looking at him again, he can look in the 6ft 2 zone]

Anonymous says on 30/Nov/05
you right rob compare to bruce he looks 6'1" i alwais thaught he was 6'3" now i think he is 187 cm at best

dmeyer says on 3/Jun/05
in the movie wasabi he is listed as 6'4''

sam says on 31/May/05
I thought he was at least a solid inch taller than 6'1 1/2", closer to 6'3".

J.J says on 31/May/05
Yep I think you are spot on there Rob - though most sites list him as 6'3", he looks just over 3inches taller than gary Oldman and Gerard Depardieu who are both 5'10"
