In "From Paris with love" he looked about 1.5'' shorter so if Travolta is 6ft it makes him 5'10.5'' but look at his shoes when he was walking up the bloody stairs, there was a moment where it showed his shoes and they are bigger than normal
RisingForce says on 2/Mar/10
He's certainly not a hair over 5'10". I don't know much about the guy, but he claims to be 5'10", wears enormous lifts and tip-toes in pictures so common sense says he wouldn't claim he as shorter than he really is. model says on 28/Feb/10
in Paris with Love he looks almost same height as Travolta,so i think he is 6"1 barefoot! sam says on 27/Feb/10
I'd give him at least 5'10,... not shorter than that.. in 'from paris with love' he maybe is an inch shorter than completely shaved Travolta Lizzie says on 21/Feb/10
um i dont think thats true, a person cant change height drastically he's probs 5'10 or 5'11 astaroth says on 6/Feb/10
In an interview which you can read here on his fansite Click Here he stated :
A: "Look, I’m 5-10 and I weigh, what, 155 pounds."
That seems to be pretty true. MD says on 30/Dec/09
guyfrommars, you're joking, right? guyfrommars says on 28/Dec/09
i'm barely 5'5, could i be a model? could i be listed 5'11? Brittany says on 28/Dec/09
He wears footwear that gives him about 2 inches in The Tudors and often wears the boots outside of the show. A girlfriend of mine (5'10) met him at the gym and he was wearing black and white sneakers. They were the at least same height but he may have been a hair taller than her. I'll try to get her to post the picture or ask if I can steal it. MD says on 4/Dec/09
Puma,
That pic of him is just hilarious. Ha! He looks like if he's not careful, he'll tip right on over, and it'd be a long fall. lol puma says on 2/Dec/09
can't find even one pic he is not wearing lifts，the boots he wears was twisted with lifts cuz lacking of space
with suit？ look at the hills!!!!!

Look at him on match point next to scarlett johanssen RisingForce says on 18/Nov/09
Well then I guess 5'8" is too low, but this guy is worse than Sly Stallone when it comes to footwear. Aside from the photos posted below, he supposedly wears cowboy boots even while he's playing basketball! ACG says on 2/Nov/09
He isn't 5'8". He was easily three inches taller than Cruise in MI: 3. RisingForce says on 31/Oct/09
I'm not familiar with his height, but if he can look 5'8" then he might be. Aside from the ridiculous shoes ROb posted, check this out.

Credit to Frank2 for finding those tip-toeing pics. If the guy is wearing footwear that Sly would be jealous of and tip-toeing in pics then it's not hard to imagine him looking 3 inches taller than he is. Lucas says on 30/Aug/09
Cheers. Clay in truth I think they said 5'8. I was not happy. Clay says on 7/Jul/09
Lucas if you are at least 5'11 than the person who thought you were 5'7 must be partly blind. orangy says on 6/Jun/09
@Jay. That girl you saw with him was probably his girlfriend, Reena Hammer. I always thought he was taller too because he's so thin. Not a bad actor though. Jay says on 4/Jun/09
Saw him today shopping with a petit Asian girl. From the distance he looks 5ft 11 but up close he is 5ft 9. He acts strange, always moves his head back and forth like a chicken when he talks. Lucas says on 19/Apr/09
at independent models they're claim is that he is 5'10.5 but this seems unlikely considering he always appears to be shorter. but you never know Lara says on 23/Mar/09
I think he's like 5"8. He did not seem much taller than Keira Knightley in Bend it like Beckham, and she wasn't even standing perfectly straight at any point in the film. MD says on 1/Feb/09
There is no way to tell of the footwear, here (though, I think it's safe to say knowing what they usually wear that they are probably BOTH in boots), but here he is with both a straight-standing and a slouched Olivier Martinez (given 5'8.5", here):

5'9" would be the absolute top of the scale for Rhys Meyers.
BTW, please always remember that he's not above wearing boots like this:

I just met him yesterday at an event. I'm 5'6", with my heels, about 5'8". He is between 5'9"-5'10". Real sweetie!! In Shock says on 12/Oct/08
How can he be that short.I thought he was way taller. howie day says on 6/Oct/08
he was taller than cruise in mission imposible on his lifts..so this seems about right Jota says on 2/Oct/08
If he is 5'9'' then Scarlett Johansson is 175 and she is listed as 163 just look at him at Match Point.I don't understand why people have to lie about thier heigh. Lucas says on 15/Sep/08
It is amazing the height discrepancies people estimate. I'm at least 5'11 maybe 6'0 at a pinch and have been estimated between 5'7 and 6'1 . I'm V skinny like jonathan. I think it very much depends on the person wether being skinny makes you look taller or shorter. Sometimes being bulkier makes you look more imposing. Jonathan looks thin but quite toned/muscular maybe has best of both worlds looking more imposing and having a long inseam. Anonymous says on 15/Sep/08

In that Hugo XX XY commercial, the model with him, Bette Franke, is 5'11" Click Here
It's obvious that he was wearing lifts or something, in that ad he was at least two inches taller than her. Anonymous says on 3/Sep/08
benj, i have to disagree with you on that. i'm a slim guy, 5'8 and change, 140 or so, and i get 5'9 - 5'10 estimates pretty regularly (and i guess i can manage those heights depending on footwear). my guess is he's in the same boat i am: shortish in reality, get's away with looking pretty average at times by having a long inseam for his height and being super slim. Leung says on 24/Aug/08
Rob, those high heels easily outdo anything in Sly’s wardrobe.
As ridiculous as those shoes are, I actually think they kind of match the style of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Editor Rob says on 22/Aug/08
In Tudors look at the footwear he's raided from Stallone's wardrobe:

i just saw 'The Children Of Huang Shi' and he looked only 1.5~ 2 inch shorter than the HongKong actor(Yun Fat Chow) who was a solid 6 footer in his good days. He does look around 5.10 inches compared to the chinese actor. benj says on 25/May/08
He is slim, that can make you look taller on film but in real life if your slight people assume your a lot shorter than you are. I'm 5'10 and a half and lots of people think i'm around 5'8. Jota says on 18/Mar/08
this guy is 170-173 see him in match point next to scarlett he looks very small Shawn Jones says on 30/Jan/08
I've noticed he looks fairly short in Match Point, and has a penchant for high-heeled footwear from all the events he's at. Check this clip out. Right after he comes out, Regis asks him if those are cowboy boots he's wearing. My guess is he's a weak 5'9.
Click Here Marcus says on 22/Oct/07
Well, quite true. I'm just wondering Bette Frank's true height (Jonathan's co-model). She is listed as 178-180 cm tall, but she's clearly shorter than him. Even with heels. I don't think Jonathan is wearing lifts in that ad, though (and besides it wouldn't help that much)...
Possibly her agency is lieing about her height...And a lot. Anonymous says on 21/Oct/07
marcus modelling isn't that strict, his height doesn't transalate onto his pictures for Hugo boss so why wouldn't they use him. vandam says on 21/Oct/07
annie: no offense taken ! he gave a glimps of how he was or looked but he did not nail it ! theres was in the past other that were way better than him like Micheal st-gerard (same height and better looking ) , one of the best ones on tv that did him .
Click Here Annie says on 21/Oct/07
Pardonez-moi, Monsieur Vandam...je suis française-américaine...my ancestors left France in 178o's...Huguenots...made their way to Virginia..would never want to offend. Your English is quite good...better than my French. I actually never was nor am not now a great Elvis fan, but watched the first 2 hours of the program because Jonathan Rhys-Meyers jumped out from the screen in the promos. He was clearly not as tall as Elvis, but captured Elvis' ferver as a youth. Like Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, too short, but did an excellent job capturing his essence instead of simply imitating..plus Joaquin sang. Bon nuit. Marcus says on 19/Oct/07
Funny that they chose him as the new face of Hugo Boss...So, I guess it's easy to lie about your height in modeling business? Or is it only with the catwalk models that you have to be atleast 5'11''? vandam says on 18/Oct/07
TJ : you are right I did watch every show he ever did , and I rarely found any ITA or actor be able to sound or even move like him , he had a rare charisma that is impossible to copy ! and Meyers not saying he is a bad actor but did not do Elvis good ! elvis did not look like that nor moved like that ! and Annie who cares what the term is !!! you knew what I meant and english is not my first language i'm french so doing the best I can and my age is 35 , been listening , reading , studying elvis since i'm 5 years old . TJ says on 17/Oct/07
Annie, I am a huge Elvis fan and Meyers most certainly doesn't have the energy or charisma of Elvis. I don't think vandam's age is relevant. You might have watched his early shows, but vandam probably owns them all and has watched them repeatedly ;-) Annie says on 16/Oct/07
Vandam...how old are you? I was old enough to watch Elvis' first live TV appearance and had never seen Rhys-Meyers before watching first part of Elvis. He blew me away with the same kind of charisma and rawness Elvis displayed in the early days. Oh and the term is not "lipsing". Look it up.
Watch him in "Match Point", "The Tudors" or "Velvet Goldmine"..May not be tall, but definitely electric and extremely talented 5'7"...no more. I'm 6" female and do not care if he's short..only if he's a good actor. myspace celebrity says on 1/Oct/07
mightbe 5'10, especially next to 5'2 reese witherspoon and 5'4 scarlett johanson vandam says on 26/Sep/07
scott: awesome as Elvis ??? he does not even know how to lipsing ! to short to be elvis and was not natural at it , it shows he did not have respect for elvis cause he blew it ! any real elvis fan thinks this ! bad casting scott says on 24/Sep/07
he was awesome as elvis 5'9 is a great average height good for him i think he looks 5'9.5 Anonymous says on 16/Sep/07
he looks preety tall because he is very thin !!thought he might be 5 11 or 6
but it turns out to be that i was wrong!hes only 5 9 anonymous no-name says on 7/Sep/07
He wears big boots/dress shoes a lot. though in Bend it Like Beckham he looks to be about 2" taller than 16-year-old Keira Knightley (had she reached 5'7" by then?) And he does look about 7" taller than Parminder Nagra, and they are all in similar footwear (football/soccer boots). I'd say 5'8"-5'9" is correct. In Match Point I remember him appearing quite short? But maybe that was just because the actors playing the brother and sister were both quite tall? Brah says on 6/Sep/07
Tom Cruise in MI3 was wearing big boots though. He was 2 inches taller than 5'7" Michelle Monaghan and not that much shorter than Ving Rhames. If Rhys-Meyers was taller than Cruise, that makes him 5'9ish. vandam says on 14/Aug/07
he is way to short to be in the role of elvis saw the series last night he looks 5feet 7 , dont get why he was casted , no moves , bad hair , had no charisma this guy was the worst casting ever , doesnt even look close to him !!! Yitzhak says on 8/Aug/07
He's about half an Inch taller than Tom Cruise in MI3.
He's about 6-7 inches taller than the Indian girl in bend it like beckham, who is 5'1 and a bit more than 5'7 keira Knightley.
This guy is probabaly 172 CM (5'7.5 ft) MD says on 11/Apr/07

But, then again, I don't think Cillian is 5'8". Chris says on 6/Apr/07
just luk at him walkin beside Keira Knightly in Bend it like beckham....
she's 5'7''...i bet he's not more than 5'8'' P. Smith says on 1/Feb/07
He was doing an interview for "The Tudors" his new tv series, where he will be
playing King Henry VIII. He said "they could of cast some six-foot blonde guy."
I read people on a forum saying he is six foot (like Elvis). That is pretty ridiculous. busek1004 says on 7/Nov/06
his profile says that he's 5'10' . and he looks taller than tom cruise on still cut from "Mission Impossible 3". z1 says on 8/Sep/06
He's clearly 5'8", not an inch shorter or taller. Look at him standing next to 5'7" (maybe 5'6") Cillian Murphy...
Click Here MOF says on 22/Apr/06
Next to 6'2 Matthew Goode in Match Point he just about reached his nose. 5'9 is a maximum, probably somewhat less... Stiffelio says on 10/Mar/06
Just saw Match Point and I thought that Jonathan looked quite small framed, not much taller than Scarlet Johansson. I'd say 5ft 8in at the most. Editor Rob says on 7/Mar/06
"Slim and five foot seven inches tall" - Irish Times in 1996. trueheight says on 24/Feb/06
he looked about an inch taller than Keira Knightly in Bend it Like Beckham, kinda of a slight guy nrc says on 18/Nov/05
I stood next to him for some time at a cocktail party last night. I was with my boyfriend, who's a little over 5'11", and Jonathan looked the same height, if not slightly taller. We were both very surprised; based on his movies, we thought he'd be much, much shorter. He may have been wearing lifts, but if he wasn't, he's at least 5'10". Tanzi says on 1/May/05
I've read that he is actually 5'8'', which seems to be more accurate based on pictures of him standing next to his co-stars. He is a slim guy though, and this could give him the illusion of being taller than he really is. |
