Yes indeed I was there Sara. Funny how in 2006 Barrowman had not much of a queue at london film con, then 2 years later his next signing appearance he had thousand people queing for his auto and 450 paying $40 for a photo with him. He was wearing a new balance sneaker, might have had slight edge on me, but he looked near 6ft.

I met John this Sunday at Collectormania, he's tall. Also saw Rob a few times, very easy to spot and rather smiley :)

rx says on 8/Mar/08
hes about the same height as tennant who's listed just about everywhere as 6"1

Alex says on 4/Feb/08
OK, He's taller than Gareth David-Lloyd, who's registered as being 6'. He towers over him about 3" and a head taller than Eve Myles. You can see his shoes, and they have a basic sole on them. Explain that one.

Your height can vary though so he may look different heights on some days

He obviously looks very tall most of the time. I think.
And he is really well proportioned.

I saw Barrowman on the set of torchwood in Cardiff Bay - he is at least 6ft. He is a very well built guy, which probably makes him look shorter on screen.

Jenny says on 29/Apr/07
He signed an autograph for me and I reckon he's just about 6ft. He looks shorter sometimes because he's quiet solidly built

Bill says on 18/Dec/06
He does look smaller than Chris Eccleston but not enough to make much difference, 6' sounds about right. perhaps 5-11 1/2.

George says on 10/Nov/06
On the Jonoathon ross show, who is listed as 6'`, John looked at least 3 inches shorter than him. Hes 5`10.5 max, he has good proportions.

alice says on 14/Sep/06
but on how do you solve a problem like maria on bbc the performance shows the four girls with him and in about three inch heels they are about his height, maybe 1 inch under and those girls (connie, helen, aoife and siobhan) all look fairly tall...

Phil says on 5/Sep/06
He's about 1 inch smaller than Christopher Eccleston. Does this make John 5'11 or Eccleston 6'1?

[Editor Rob: in person barrowman is very close to his own 6ft claim. They were close on Doc who for sure]

WOT..................Way!!!!!! says on 11/Apr/06
He looks smaller than Christopher Eccleston on doctor who and his height is written as 6foot as well i can't tell who's height is the correct one.

Anonymous says on 7/Feb/06
He looks bigger than this on that rubbishy ice dancing show.

[Editor Rob: one of those guys who I think lies between 6ft and 6ft 1...I think I'll put him back to that middle mark as beside David Seaman that looked about right]

CelebHeights Editor says on 12/Nov/05
He is listed as 6ft by his agency, well 182cm.
