Judd Nelson Height
Judd Nelson height: 5 ft 9.5 in (177 cm)

US Actor from The Breakfast Club. Mr R saw him once in a shop and clocks him at 5ft 8. You know, now having looked at recent pics, I'm really unsure about that estimate...I thought he was just under 5ft 10...I'm putting him back to 177cm now.

Judd is closer to 5-8. The night I saw him at the pizza place, I almost didn't recognize him because he had a thick beard, and because I thought he was closer to 5-10. Sadly for Judd, it is not meant to be.

You kidding?? He looked three-four inches taller than Emilio Estevez! I know he is short, but Judd didn't look short at all.
Anthony says on 28/Dec/07
I really thought he looked short in "The Breakfast Club," like 5'7 or 5'8. Really shocked to see him so close to 5'10.

im not up until 2pm to 4pm.

It seems to me that most underestimate the height of someone that is a proper 5'8 thoughout the day, possibly due to the number of 5'5-5'7ish people that claim 5'8 as their height. I'm a solid 5'7.75 during the day (I don't seem to stretch or shrink much, the tallest i've been measured is 5'8, and the shortest is 5'7.5) and I'm taller than most of the people I know that say they're 5'8.

Just to clear things up, Rob are the heights here an estimate of morning height? I'm asking only because Glenn seems to be the most common measuring stick and he gives his morning height at 5'8, which he admits makes him anywhere from a 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch shorter at night.

[Editor Rob: a lot of the pics you can see are evenin/night, although glenn has said he sometimes doesn't get up till 5 hours after say a celeb might have been up, so I don't think there's a big diff between morn/afternoon.]

He doesnt look that small cause hes built proportionally well which gives him look a little taller than he really is
Socom says on 8/Dec/07
I say Judd is a solid 5'9
Chris says on 19/Jul/07
The more times I watch The Breakfast Club, the more I struggle to believe this guy is under 5'10". He doesn't look that much shorter than Paul Gleason. 5'9.5" absolute minimum.
Chris says on 18/Jul/07
Looked about 2" shorter than Anthony Michael Hall in The Breakfast Club. If that. But maybe Hall was only 6' then, and Judd Nelson had the bigger shoes. But he also looked 2" taller than Molly Ringwald. 5'9" to 5'10" is about right. Maybe 5'10" even.

He didn't look much taller than 5'5'' Emilio Estevez in the breakfast club. Not to mention he was wearing boots. Although I'm sure they made Emilio taller when they were eye to eye.

Mario Van Peebles is another guy who looks taller then 5-10 a lot of the time.
Glenn says on 11/Jul/06
Your right J.I know for a fact Mario is a hair under 5-10.so that leaves Judd at 5-8.
J. says on 9/Jul/06
Was watching "New Jack City" the other night, Nelson wearing black boots, was inches shorter than Mario Van Peebles (wearing regular dress shoes) in all their scenes together. 5'9.5" is incorrect unless Van Peebels is taller than we think.
bec says on 16/Jan/06
I met him 2 years ago and we were the same height. I am 5'8". There is absolutley no way he is 5'10".
NC says on 31/Dec/05
Ho Ho Ho, you ol sarcastic gramp - yes as a matter fact the Elv was therre man. I think he lost a inch with his old age as he was barely taller than Brooke while licking her ear. you know whut im zayin man.
Gramps says on 30/Dec/05
NC: so, was Elvis at this little 'house party?' How tall was he next to Brooke?
NC says on 29/Dec/05
by the way mr r the reason judd looked almost as tall as Brook is because she IS 5-11! I've met her at his house. with flats she's just a tad taller - that is reality.
NC says on 29/Dec/05
mr r; you r mistakin - perhaps you caught him slouching or something - he has been swimming at my house(without lifts)I am exactly 5-101/2 he is the same height as me - no reason to B.S.you.
Viper652 says on 29/Dec/05
I still cant beleive he is only 5-8. He looked at least 5-10 in the Breakfast Club to me.
Mr. R says on 28/Dec/05
Rob, Rob, why do you torture me so? I stood right next to him at the sandwhich shop in Hollywood, and he is for sure 5-8. Think about it..in Suddenly Susan, he was just about the same height as Brooks Shields, which is nowhere near reality. His height cannot be determined adequately from pics! He uses lifts all the time. I saw him in flat shoes.
NC says on 27/Dec/05
Hey Gramps; funny anyone would care to respond..glancing at some of these peoples heights it seems alot of people would like to say everyone is much shorter than they really are. Living in the Hollywood area - I hear that alot.I think people would just like to think this for some reason. Just stating the truth about Judd.

[Editor Rob: I had another look at this guy and he really doesn't appear as short as I had him, so upgrading him a bit...]
Gramps says on 27/Dec/05
So, Anonymous, just who is this friend sticking up for Judd? Or are you a secret?
Anonymous says on 27/Dec/05
let me set the record straight here..Judd and I are friends, and he IS as tall as I am - .FACTto the exact.... 5-10 1/2. no lifts or camera angles
Huff says on 4/Oct/05
No way that this guy even reaches as far up as 5’8, look at his dachshund legs (they are typical for people below 5’7), though his upper body look pretty tall for a male, but that can’t make him above 5’8, Anthony Hopkins is most certainly 5’8 and he looks a lot taller among people than Judd Nelson even though he looks short. Ian Sommerhalder is 5’9, Anthony Hopkins is 5’8. Think; this guy is a midget.
Ade says on 16/Sep/05
I'm saying 5ft9-5ft10.. I've been standing beside him a couple of times, and i'm solid 177.8cm(strictly measured, because of profession). Both times i took a note of his height, he is about my height.
McFan says on 10/Jul/05
He does look 5'9, however, in "Breakfast Club" Ally Sheedy reads Anthony Michael Hall's driver's license as 5'9.5 and he looked at least an inch taller than Judd Nelson.
Mr Linard says on 27/Mar/05
I was recently an extra in a movie he was filming. I stood next to him during one of the takes and we were shoulder to shoulder. Since I'm 5' 8" that makes him 5' 8".
