I most definitely believe 1.92m-1.93m. A weak 6'4 - 6'3 and a half or 6'3 and 3/4.

@Arch Stanton proportion helps, Rutte has a big head with lanky build, make him appear shorter than he suppose to, even more convincingly shorter than the likes of O'Brien, but Kerry look shorter than Rutte beside some of the people both have been photographed with like Pedro Sanchez, David Cameron, Trudeau, Obama, etc

Arch, I thought at least 6ft4 for Kerry at one point. His height was always the first thing I noticed. 6ft3 and change peak. Similar to how Jeb Bush looks with W

To me in frame he looks more towering than a guy like Mark Rutte, I would have thought he would be the more likely 6ft 4 guy out of the two! Perhaps he really was 6 ft 4 and now 6 ft 3?

I agree, a peak height is needed. Would be below 6'3 by now.

No way Kerry still measures at 6'3. Time for a peak height, in my opinion.

Legitimate 6'3" peak, yes. Today of course, he probably isn't quite but he's held his height reasonably well for his age. In his early 70s with 6'6.5" Vitali Klitschko he looks maybe 6'2.5" or so: Click Here

At a certain point he was listed at 193 cm, would you give him that as a maximum peak height Rob ? (when he was young)

Looked 6’2” next to 5’11” George Bush. Maybe peak 6’2.5”..he was 60 at the time so he probably lost a little height. But maybe not. I doubt he lost 1inch by 60, though. Seems most people here think he was 6’3”ish to 6’3.5”. I just think he never seemed that tall.

I met him in person. He was 60 at the time so he hadn't lost much height. I'm 6'4.5" and was at least 1-2 inches taller. I would say peak 6'3.5" rounding up to 6'4", and 6'2.5" now (maybe 6'3.5" when I met him).

I think if he’s under 6’3” he’s close enough to claim it. Almost 6’4” in shoes maybe

I think he has lost 0.5-7 of an inch.
Rob I think time has come for Kerry to have a peak height.
6ft3.25 peak 6ft2.5-75 now

Rob, the guy is in his 70s, for sure he would have lost height, right? Tall guys tend to lose easier height. He was 3 inches taller than Dicaprio in their recent photo

King Felipe is more 6'4.5 than a full 6'5, this guy can look 2-2.5 inches shorter than him in photos, so he's probably 6'2-6'2.5 today... Maybe 6'3 at peak!

"Peak height was 6ft 3½in (192cm)"
Maybe even a weak 6ft4. Still looks 6ft3 now.

No doubt he was 6'3 at peak but actually I think today he's a bit shorter...
Look at him with Ben Affleck...If Ben is a strong 6'2" the JK can't be taller than 6'2-2.5"...

I remember him described as 6'4" while running for president, but I have no trouble accepting 6'3". The man claimed it himself.

Based on those quotes, it is possible he is between the 6'3" and 6'4" marks...he could have passed for 6'4" range near George W. Bush during the presidential debates.

At the time he ran, I remember some claimed 6'4.5" for him! Not likely on that for sure.
