No, he could not be 173. The guy is at least an inch shorter than Mark Whalberg, period.
Leung says on 25/Nov/08
Leonari, hence playing the character Ari Gold would come naturally to him.
leonari says on 25/Nov/08
bombay: keep on dreaming. The guy wears lifts. he is not a full 5'8" and he looks like a guy I wouldn't want to meet. I have read plenty of rumors that he is not a very decent guy. Has nothing to do with the fact that he is 172 cm absolute max. And thats generous.
Bombay Rocker says on 25/Nov/08
Could be a full 173!!
wowwowowow says on 24/Nov/08
i saw this guy at my school and even got a picture with him. I think he's about 5'8
leonari says on 20/Nov/08
pipe: we care .thats why the site your on is called "celebheights" not wallet heights or "how big is the fortune of". man...
pipe says on 20/Nov/08
ENtOURAGE :D amazing actor ,, and taller if he stand on his wallet,, who cares about his height? ..
leonari says on 31/Oct/08
In my book this guy is 5'7" flat and he wears huge footwear. Just saw a pic where he wears humungous boots with a big heel that he covers up with his pants. Still looks at least 3-4 cm shorter than Kevin Dillon.
Great actor. But I can't stand the guy. No clue why.
Leung says on 20/Oct/08
MD says on 16/Oct/08
He's shorter than 5'8" Mark Wahlberg, so, now, he's not 5'9", not even close, in fact.

I second that.
MD says on 16/Oct/08

RICHARD says on 16/Oct/08
I always thought he was 5'9 since he was an inch taller than Christian Slater in Very Bad Things. He looked fairly average in that film. I would give him 5'9.
anonymous says on 15/Oct/08
just a random comment.. but this guy really embellishes his height huh? im 5'9" 1/2 at night and i wouldnt dream of proclaiming 6" as my height even with boots or leather shoes on... well love him on entourage anyawys
MD says on 4/Oct/08
He actually only looks 5'7", max, in that picture. He looks more than just two inches shorter than Jamie Foxx.
Lmesiter says on 4/Oct/08
This pic proves a lot. He is nowhere near 5ft10. He is 5ft8 max. straight outta bed.

sam says on 1/Sep/08
ashley, he looks around 5'8 to me and most people, men and women. i'm sure the implement used to measure him is gender neautral.
qwerty says on 24/Mar/08
he can look really short because he has a quite stocky and muscular build but i think hes 5.8
sam says on 6/Mar/08
did anybody see his odd slippers in smokin aces
leonari says on 17/Feb/08
ashley: WHAT??? Man's ruler, women's ruler? Incredible the bull**** some chicks come up with. Insane.
sam says on 16/Feb/08
sometimes women have distortions of men's height and vice versa. I could see him being 5'8 though...
Ashley says on 8/Feb/08
Seen him many times in Chicago. Using a man's ruler... he is 5'8" on a good day. Using a woman's ruler- he is 5'2 at best. Love him anyways! Larger than life...but not as large as his publicist claims.
sf says on 4/Feb/08
5'7" or so. Every interview I've seen Piven in, he either comes off kind of high on himself, and does seem to exaggerate. He acts like no one can tell he obviously has a hair weave or wears a rug, or whatever. Not putting him down, but, to me, he always seems like he needs to impress. I think around 5'7" is accurate. Only being 5'10" and playing high school football? Hilarious - many, many guys that tall and shorter in high school football.
Leung says on 3/Feb/08
Definitely not 5’10”, maybe 5’8” at best. He is awesome in Entourage.
leonari says on 3/Feb/08
GermyNickels: Oh please! Not even in lifts does he look 5'10 " or even taller. He is a short guy. Great actor. You saw somebody else. Not Piven
GermyNickels says on 3/Feb/08
Seemed 5'10 or so, maybe taller, when I saw Jeremy Piven walking to his car last year in Chicago I was standing next to my friend Phil who is 5'4" or maybe 5'5" and Jeremy Piven seemed taller by far. I am 5'11" and he didn't seem much shorter.
Real says on 26/Jan/08
It seems that everyone who has seen him claims he is 5'6ish.
I've watched the entourage episodes numerous times.. w/out lifts, he wouldn't be much taller than connolly.. and you can tell that connolly doesn't wear lifts. yeah, he might easily appear 5'9 with lifts, i know i do with timberlands and insoles.
Anonymous says on 6/Jan/08
I stood next to him - he's 5'6" without any doubt. Same height as my husband.
Real says on 20/Dec/07
i wish i could look at that picture.. it's not loading for some reason.

Here here is with cast of Entourage.... looking VERY short and in sandles. Barefoot height 5'5 - 5'6? I wouldn't be suprised, yet its crazy to think up until now I've thought he was around 5'8... Maybe lifts get him up to that mark?
chris says on 4/Dec/07
ive noticed that Rob never changes the heights.Even if you show him inarguable proof that he is wrong he still wont do it:).
Brah says on 26/Oct/07
He was noticeable shorter than Jamie Foxx in "The Kingdom" as well
Georgy says on 9/Oct/07

clearly shorter than 5'9" Jamie Foxx
glenn says on 18/Sep/07
i thought he looked 5-9 the night i got the brad pitt pic.
leonari says on 17/Sep/07
looked a strong 5'8" if not taller on the Emmys yesterday...
Eclipse says on 7/Sep/07
Your mother has to do with your height as well. I have a friend who is 6-0, but his father is in the 6-3 to 6-4 range. However, his mother is only about
5-1. His mother's mother is under 5-0. I am thinking that is a reason why he is only 6-0.
Anonymous says on 28/Aug/07
you know he might be perceived as 5-10ish because he's always wearing suit shoes in entourage because he's always dressed up as agent man. another ridiculous height listing is perry reeves who plays ari's wife is listed at 5'10 but she's clearly shorter than ari in heels, which she ALWAYS is wearing and piven is probably scraping 5'10 barely in his shoes
Jack Bean says on 27/Aug/07
I just saw pictures of him on WWTDD, he looks like he's no taller than 5'8".
And the issue about father's height, my father's 5'8" but I'm only 5'6".
E says on 24/Aug/07
Richard...question about fathers and family height... not necessarily...
my father was 6 foot, one brother almost 6-2 and another brother is 5-11...and
as the youngest, im a hair under 5-10... however i was born with birth defects in my heart which
may have affected my growth...so it can happen
NB says on 21/Aug/07
I've stood next to the guy. I'm 5'7". He's shorter than me by about an inch.
RICHARD says on 16/Aug/07
Jeremy's dad was 6'0,yet he is in the 5'7--5'9 range. Shouldn't he be taller than his dad ?
Eclipse says on 25/Jul/07
Did anyone notice the last episode of Entourage? Ari is in the shoe store and the guy asks him if he wears a size 8. He gives him a mean look and says, "NO- an 11". I laughed to myself thinking that in real life he claims to be 5-10, but seems about 5-8, and his character Ari claims an 11 shoe size, but a worker at a shoe store guessed that he was an 8. Maybe acting isn't 100% "acting" if you catch my drift.....
Real says on 9/Jul/07
that seinfeld episode is very telling.. but it's hard to pinpoint because he never really stood next to anyone when ya could see his feet.. when he walked into "Jerry's apartment" his head came up to about the eyehole.. He looked 5'6-7 in his scenes

I watched a bunch of entourage episodes yesterday, and he can look from 1-2" taller than Connolly up to 3-4" .. Connolly is what, 5'5?
I'd take .5-1" off Piven.. and there is no way he is 5'10.. lol.. i hope he was joking
KillingJOK3 says on 1/Jul/07
Watch the episode on Seinfeld when he was auditioning for the George part on the pilot "Jerry". He was wearing sneakers and he looked pretty small 5'9? 5'10? Yah right... 5'8 is pushing it IMO.
Lmeister says on 30/Jun/07
There is no way of upgrading this guy. We upgrade him -> upgrade Marky Mark -> upgrade Donnie Wahlberg to 5'11 - 6'0'' eventhough he said 5'10''ish. Soon we have upgraded everyone 6'0''...
Michael 29 says on 29/Jun/07
If Jeremy Piven is 5'9" then you have to upgrade Mark Whalberg. There is no way that Piven is taller than Whalberg.
leonari says on 27/Jun/07
Bull****. Never 5'9" for this guy. Never looked that tall next to Ellen degeneres.
RICHARD says on 26/Jun/07
Jeremy looked taller than Christian Slater in Very Bad Things. He has to be the 5'9 he claims. I heard Piven's dad was 6' so I would figure Jeremy would be 5'9. I don't know his mom's height,though
glenn says on 17/Jun/07
saw him the other night.from the distance he looked the 5-9 he claims.maybe im wrong.
MD says on 16/Jun/07
Rob,

Really, 5'7.75", still?

lulu says on 14/Jun/07
i just watched letterman and he just stated his height as 5'9". he also wears a piece. he had a small role in seinfeld and he was well on his way to being bald.. and that was years ago! wigs, lifts, hes all fake!
Anonymous says on 25/May/07
in the latest episodes of entourage with 5'5" Kevin Connolley in dress shoes with Piven (usually he is wearing flat sneakers) piven looks at most 1-2" taller...
Slappy says on 13/May/07
5'7.5" to 5'8" is about right. He was in that SNL 'Blizzard Man' skit (which is hilarious, btw) with Common, and Common looks about 3 inches taller than him.
MD says on 27/Mar/07
Not the best photos, but an example of him looking short. With 5'5.5" Dustin Hoffman:

He can look 5'9", sometimes. But, I'd guess he's actually 5'7", with lifts to get to 5'9".
PJ says on 26/Mar/07
This is accurate. I've seen him at Thom Bar in NY, and he was wearing very suspicious loafers which boosted him to approx 5'9.
the shredder says on 4/Feb/07
Here is a video clip from the movie Judgment Night ! Jeremy Piven next to 6'2 Denis Leary ... does he look 5'10 ? HELL NO !

leonari says on 31/Jan/07
he is 5'7".period.and to exagerate ones height by 3 inches...ridiculous. The lost grip on reality...bet he never thought he will be that successful...
Viper says on 30/Jan/07
You would be on the taller side at 5-10 for a runningback in high school actually. Obviously hes not even close to 5-10 in reality.
UNK says on 29/Jan/07
Piven doesn't have a grip on reality. First of all there are many 5'10" NFL players.. It's a pretty common height for running backs. The fact that he was a pussy with no coordination or speed is the reason it was hard for him to be on the team.
Editor Rob says on 28/Jan/07
Yeah, tbaza, the more he says it, the more he believes it...

"The idea of being a 5-foot-10, 176-pound linebacker for anyone was a joke"

and the idea of Piven being 5ft 10 barefoot?
An even bigger joke!
tphabza says on 11/Jan/07
Jeremy Piven is quoted in this months Best Life Magazine about how hard it was in high school being 5 10 and on the foot ball team. Gee he's only 41 - he shrunk 3 inches in 22 years ? Give me a break ......... I can see embellishing by an inch - I do it - but 3 " !
leonari says on 30/Dec/06
Mike: I totally agree and respect yopur opinion. It's how you carry yourself in life what matters. Nothing else...
Mike says on 29/Dec/06
Alright, I stand corrected. I still don't understand why it would matter though. Honestly, your life is not going to be any different as long as you're confident about your height... Unless I'm wrong about that? Okay, granted if you're 5'1 and male, that isn't great but the world isn't ending. I have a friend that's 5'7 and all he ever does is worry about his height and complain that his father is 6'3 and that he's short, yet he gets everything he wants from girls to success because he stands tall and is the most confident (and possibly arrogant) guy I know... So tell me why does it matter?
Jeremy Piven is an awesome actor by the way, I don't see why it's such a big deal that he said 5'10... I've said 5'10 sometimes and like I said i'm 5'8... O_o
D. Ray Morton says on 21/Dec/06
"Most people aren't as insecure about their height as you guys are"

That's why 95% of the entertainment industry exaggerates its height by two inches.

There's a lot of height-related insecurity out there, even among people who really have nothing to be insecure about.
Mike says on 20/Dec/06
Why do you guys care? You seem to say "omg, he's 5' 7"... therefore? I'm 5' 8 and it's never killed me... :/
Also, I don't think the interviewer was laughing about that... Most people aren't as insecure about their height as you guys are, but if you really want to explain why you care so much about bashing celebrities like Jeremy Piven who is rather good looking... i'd be delighted. Enlighten me.
MD says on 12/Sep/06
He can, too. Though, sports stars usually list their height only an extra inch, as it would be too obvious, otherwise. They simply give their height in shoes, usually.
Anonymous says on 11/Sep/06
agassi looks defenetly no shorter than 5 10.75 180 near piven he cant lie since he is a sports guy
the shredder says on 27/Jul/06
rob , i think you got it right ! if you ever watch the movie Judgment Night .... Jeremy Piven , Steven Doff , and Emilio Estevez all make Cuba Gooding , JR look like a 6 footer ! mmmm ? Denis Learly is also in that movie, and theres a part where jeremy talks to denis * face to face * and if denis is 6'2-6'3 .... then jeremy is nowhere near his 5'10 clame !

my guess was ....

1.emilio - 5'5 no more
2.cuba - atleast 5'10
3.denis - well over 6'0
4.steven - 5'6 -5'7
5.jeremy - 5'7ish

6. that movie should have been called judgment height , lol !
sf says on 24/Jun/06
I don't know, Rob - the evidence has got Jeremy shorter than 5'8" and 1/2...
mark says on 19/Jun/06
in a magazine he said im 5'8
westwinger says on 6/Jun/06
Piven is taller than Mark Wahlberg. If you look at the link that "anon." posted below you can see the difference in arm length. Wahlberg is clearly wearing lifts. He may be 5'8.5".
dave florida us says on 5/Jun/06
I know for a fact that Jeremy Piven is NOT 5'9". I'm from Chicago and I ran into him during a filming of a short-lived US series entiteled "Cupid". Jeremy played a cupid hunting for game... dumb premise. Anyhow, I was trying to cross an intersection and Jeremy was filming a scene and his goons pushed him past me and Jeremy had visible lifts in his shoes (and they were comical). His heels were huge. I'm 5'9" and despite said lifts, I was able to look down on the top of his shiny scalp. By the way, he had lots of that tinted scalp shellac on; the stuff that's supposed to hide baldness. My brother and sister-in-law were with me while this all transpired, and we all commented on how odd the little guy was. He was all sheepish and weird, and he seemed just plain goofy with the scalp paint and elevated shoes and all. My guess is that Jeremy Piven is about 5'6" or so, because I'm no giant and I felt like he was a lillaputian next to me and I'm only 5'9".
J. says on 6/May/06
Okay, I'm a few months late but that clip of Piven on the red carpet is the greatest! I love the way the interviewer gives that knowing "he's so full of s***" smile and quickly changes the subject. The best clip of an actor flat out lying about their height to an interviewer and interviewer subtly catching them in life since Matt LeBlanc with Katie Courcic on the Today Show. Ironically, he also claimed 5'10"!

[Editor Rob: lol, yeah it is a great little clip! He's going for the 2 inch rule]
rae says on 4/May/06
jeremy is closer to 5'7. he's 5'8.5 in heels! hung out with him a few times in new york and miami and at 5'8, i was taller than him.
anon. says on 21/Apr/06
Ive seen a lot of pics of Jeremy with mark wahlberg who you have listed as 5'8'' and Piven appears shorter. I think he is probably between 5'7'' and 5'8''.
Trueheight says on 10/Mar/06
this is very accurate. if you watch 'Lucas', a young jeremy piven is just under the same as charlie sheen who is about 5'9, or a bit over
Damon says on 8/Feb/06
How do you know Hoffman isn't wearing lifts or anything in that picture? Just seeing somebody in a store isn't an accurate measure for telling somebody's height. Depending on build, frame, how long somebody's legs are in proportion to their body, their height can look two or three inches more or less than it really is. He looks "short" in the sense that he's under average, but jeez, he looks nowhere near 5'4 or 5'5. That's ridiculous. I'm about 5'8.5, and sometimes I wonder if I were a celebrity what ridiculous height you people would be giving me. "No, I saw him at footlocker, 5'8 is way too generous, he's 5'5, 5'6 tops".
Drex says on 26/Jan/06
In this clip on the red carpet he claims he is 5'10". http://www.liquidgeneration.com/content/a55hat.aspx?cid=1870

[Editor Rob: nice! lol, the interviewer knowingly smiled after he said 'I'm 5ft 10'...]
Anonymous says on 28/Nov/05
He looked extremely short in Serendipity. I guess it depends on how tall John Cusack is. He's listed as 6'2 here, which seems about right as he does look that tall. If Cusack is that tall, then Piven isn't anywhere near 5'8.5". I have no idea how tall he is but he does look in the 5'6-5'7 range if you watch serendipity.
d says on 21/Nov/05
probably he is 1m72 and he father was 1m83
theheightguru says on 11/Nov/05
He was in a movie with Annabella Sciorra (5'2)called 'Chasing Liberty'. He wasn't 6 and a half in. taller than she. I think his height should be re-evaluated.
Kelly says on 1/Nov/05
I know David Spade is super short like 5'2" - because I once saw him, so judging from PCU, Pivens must be 5'4" or 5'5" if that.
CelebHeights Editor says on 23/Aug/05
From Gawker.com, "Saw Jeremy Piven walking down Madison ave. Very handsome, but shorter than expected"
Myst says on 17/Jul/05
Some people appear shorter or taller than they are on screen. Actor Billy Connolly looks 6'3" but is 6'. I'd guess that Jeremy Piven is somewhere between 5'7" and 5'9." He might be 5'7" He's often standing next to John Cusack who is 6'3" Whatever height he is, I think he's attractive and talented. I never knew there was a website to dicuss celebrities heights in such exactitude.
Lmeister says on 16/Jun/05
Dear leonari I know the measuring systems and convertions damn well. Hopefully U aren't an American, because the metric systems seems to be so hard to understand...I know it is ridiculous to measure a 1/4 of an inch, but the system works like that in this website...btw I'm 172.7 (in the morning) so exactly 5'8''. I really do prefer the metric system, cause it is more precise...
Lmeister says on 15/Jun/05
I agree with all of the guys about Jeremy. He looks really short. He is a stocky guy and seems to have short legs which might make him look even shorter, but the truth is that he is shorter than Christian 5'8.5''Slater in Very Bad Things. There is no way on earth that he'd be 5'8''. 5'7.75'' is really tops...All the ppl who have met him have commented that he is around 5'7''...
miss T says on 15/Jun/05
jeremy piven is not 5'8". I saw him last christmas in chicago in a department store. This guy is no more than 5'5". I was surprised at how short and slight he was! Gorgeous? yes. Talented? no doubt, but 5'8"? That's his publicist talking.
drwavedawg says on 20/May/05
met him in 1992 in montreal... he is 5'6, maybe 5'7 max.
