Jude Law Height
Jude Law height: 5 ft 11 in (180 cm)

English actor of Talented Mr Ripley, Enemy at the Gates and Sky Captain is a chameleon of height. He's skinny, which makes him appear slightly taller aswell.

In Allure magazine he stated, "It depends on my mood, really. I'm five nine, and some days I only feel five nine. But if I'm feeling tall, I say six feet!", sometimes though he deadpans.

In the Guardian: "(Law stands 5ft 10in.) 'People always go, "God, Jude's really short." No, I just hang out with very, very, very tall men."

Site visitor Steve says: "I stood next to jude law at the new orleans airport on december 22, 2004. We went through security together and so i stood next to him for about 5 minutes. Jude was wearing regular sneakers, no lifts or heels. I'm just a shade under 6' 1", and i'd guess i am about 1" or so taller than Mr. Law. So 5'11", perhaps even just brushing 6', would be about right".

'Noodles' says: "I hav met him n i am 5"10 and he was not taller than me posibly similar height but i di not see what foot wear he was wearing."

180cm.
Chris says on 3/Jan/12
Law was clearly joking when he said "I'm five nine, and some days I only feel five nine. But if I'm feeling tall, I say six feet!" In a good day he might be an inch taller but three inches?!. Plus the guy always looks in the "strong" average range (5'10-5'11) 5'10.5 could be accurate for him. 5'11 is the max i could buy for him. He looks 2-2.5'' shorter than Clive Owen (listed 6'2 here, LOL, that guy is 6'1)
Bon_ says on 3/Jan/12
Such a laughlable thread. He was just joking when he said 5'9, like surely lol
jake, 1.82 m- 1.83 m says on 2/Jan/12
He's not taller than 5ft 10.75in (180 cm), probably 1.79 m.
Paul says on 1/Jan/12
this guy is 5'9 guy, he even said.
Adz says on 29/Dec/11
I watched him on the Graham Norton show the other day and I honestly think hes a bit taller than 180 possibly 181, maybe a six footer out of bed.
Silent d says on 20/Dec/11
On letterman he looked really tall. He has the build of a six footer. I think he was wearing lifts on the show but he's still cool. 180cm is right.
the real truth says on 18/Dec/11
he said he sometimes feels 5ft9 and sometimes 6ft, well to conclude this:

69 + 72 = 141 /2 = 70.5 so he is 5ft10.5 or 179cm hahaha.
---- says on 17/Dec/11
5ft10?
kevin says on 16/Dec/11
one thing is for sure, hes taller than just 175cm. for me at least 178cm if not the 180cm as listed above.
Silent d says on 14/Dec/11
He looks tall. Once when he was standing next to paltrow and she was taller. She had heels on. 180cm. Much taller than downey jr.
Sam says on 12/Dec/11
In the pictures that Jay posted, it appears Robert Downey Jr. is wearing his "special" shoes to that event
maio says on 11/Dec/11
5 ft 10 in/178 cm it's fair for him. He's 1 in/2,5 cm shorter than Uma Thurman.
jay says on 9/Dec/11
wtf look at him here:

same height as rdj!
Cora says on 5/Dec/11
I'm surprised no one has used Cameron Diaz as a comparison. She's commonly accepted as 5'8" and Jude is taller than her in these pictures where she is wearing heels. His shoes look quite flat.

Donny says on 30/Nov/11
I'm 1.80m in the morning, 1.79m rest of the day. Law seems the same. Agree Rob?
[Editor Rob: it might be nearer than the 5ft 9, which I do find hard to believe.]
Physics Enemy says on 18/Nov/11
The probability of a Hollywood actor downgrading himself by 2 inches is not zero ... it's negative. Site visitor Steve inflated Law by 2", as he thinks he's 2" taller himself. Just like most of society who inflate height.
Physics Enemy says on 18/Nov/11
He looks 5' 9", he stated 5' 9", he is 5' 9". He's listed at 5' 11" to allow other celebs to keep their inflated listings. e.g.) Pitt, Clooney, Di Caprio. Pitt is 5' 9.25", Clooney is 5' 9" and Di Caprio is 5' 9.75".
Paul says on 13/Nov/11
He looks solid 175cm

ROFLZ at 5'11. Rob deserves a smack for that listing!
[Editor Rob: Jude Law bazinga'd people with that 5ft 9 quote.]
Physics Enemy says on 13/Nov/11
He already said he was 5' 9" lol. This case was closed long ago!
Teo says on 12/Nov/11
That makes him 5'9" tops as Bleibtreu is probably closer to 5'7". Case Closed.
Dural says on 30/Oct/11
Jude Law with Moritz Bleibtreu (on the left, blue jacket) who claims to be 173cm....

You're a bad height estimator Shaun. In that pic, Law is standing straight as an arrow and Fry is leaning in massively. There'd be at least 6" difference if Fry stood up as straight as Law.
Physics Enemy says on 19/Oct/11
Legend - If Jude Law is 5' 9" because he claimed it, then why isn't Damon 5' 10" and Stallone 5' 10.75"? Why isn't Bieber 5' 8"? Cruise 5' 9"? Hehe. :-)
ANDREA[ITA] says on 12/Oct/11
I dont think hes 180 but if clive owen is 188, hes 183! But clive is NOT. 188 :)
Physics Enemy says on 11/Oct/11
Kim - But you're forgetting he would get 1.25-1.5" from his own shoes, which makes him 5' 9.5" - 5' 9.75". And there's always a chance you're a bit under 5' 8".
Kim says on 30/Sep/11
I met Jude backstage at a play in London. I am 5 foot 8 and I was wearing boots with 3 inch heels. I stood right next to him for a pic and we were then about equal height. 5 foot 11 very accurate for his height.
Shaun says on 18/Sep/11

If anything he is looking 184cm next to 194cm Stephen Fry. And Fry is deifnitely a strong 6'4", weak 6'5" guy as proved in comparison to Jonathan Ross and Prince William.
Shaun says on 18/Sep/11
Actually I saw a photograph of him next to 6'4.5" Stephen Fry I think it was and he actually looked 6' even.
n00bz says on 14/Sep/11
Here is an article stating Robert Downey Jr. has to wear 4" lifts to match Jude Law's height for Sherlock Holmes:

Click Here

If Jude Law was 5'9" as he claims and Downey is 5'8" as listed, Jude in flat shoes and Downey in thick boots should have solved that minor height difference. But apparently, that's not the case..(My best guess is Jude was either joking about his height or he doesn't know/tall enough to not have height issues and lie about it...?) He's always looked like a tall guy to me proportionate to his surroundings, so I think 5'11" as listed should def. be around the mark!
mARTIN says on 13/Sep/11
i MET HIM ON MY TRIP TO ENGLAND. iM 5'8 AND A HALF..HE'S AN INCH TALLER TOPS
Physics Enemy says on 12/Sep/11
Jude claims 5' 9" yet gets listed at 5' 11"? Mmmm. Poor Stallone!
Legend says on 30/Aug/11
He's 5'9 because he claimed it.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 25/Aug/11
Looks max 2 inches shorter than clive owen! This means: first) clive is just 6ft1 or a strong 6ft1 like 186 (the pics with tim robbins clearly proof that); second) jude law is 5ft11? Imo he's more like a strong 5ft9, 176!
nonno says on 20/Aug/11
Jude is 175 at most with a glance. Come on he is short, look at his arms his legs, don't you guys have any tall friends? why can't u see the difference?
Dmeyer says on 16/Aug/11
Anywere 179 181 cm 5'11 covers thé guy
James says on 11/Aug/11
Could look 179cm with keanu reeves.
jake says on 11/Aug/11
could 5ft10.5 be nearer Rob?
[Editor Rob: sometimes he can look 5ft 10 range, other times 5ft 11, the 5ft 9 he said maybe with bad posture.]
AJ says on 3/Aug/11
Just saw the AI DVD's making part for Gigolo Joe...

in one of the bits he looks only 2 inches taller than Spieldberg (5ft 7.5) ...so I think he's a weak 5'10 AT MOST
Shaun says on 31/Jul/11
Looks almost the same height as Uma Thurman at Cannes.
Azza says on 29/Jul/11
weak 5'10...178cm maybe 180 in morning
James says on 26/Jul/11
still don't buy 5'11
truth says on 24/Jul/11
5ft9.5
Matt says on 18/Jul/11
come on rob, get some morals. lol i agree, guy looks more like a 5'11 guy than a 5'9 guy. there is nothing "wrong" with him being listed at 5'11.
adz says on 14/Jul/11
Legend, Jude probably isn't bothered about his height as much as you. I think he is his listed height.
Legend says on 11/Jul/11
He's 5'9. I don't know why anyone would think he's over the height he claimed for himself. Thats ridiculous and you list him at 5'11 because site visitor Steve claims it. That is just not right on so many levels.
c-mo says on 10/Jul/11
looks at least 179cm and 182cm at most ...he must be somewhere in this range
Shaun says on 8/Jul/11
5'11" barefeet is pushing it I think. He does not look 6' in footwear to me.
TruebloodFan says on 6/Jul/11
@Hiram says on 2/Jul/11
Close to 5"10

agreed.
Hiram says on 2/Jul/11
Close to 5"10
Gareth says on 1/Jul/11
5'11" in lifts, 5'8.5" barefoot...
Ali says on 16/Jun/11
So let me get this straight. He himself states about his height:
''"It depends on my mood, really. I'm five nine, and some days I only feel five nine. But if I'm feeling tall, I say six feet!", sometimes though he deadpans.''

He sais ''I'M FIVE NINE''! Yet he is listed at 5'11. Rob
can you explain this one?
[Editor Rob: there's always a chance he didn't say nine and said something like ten I guess.

I would be very surprised if he was really just 5ft 9 though]
James says on 8/Jun/11
remember he is scrawny and skinny in build and maybe does not always stand with good posture. that might make him look shorter than he really is.
I love this debate says on 7/Jun/11
Jude Law you cheeky devil. He's probably laughing his arse off at all of us debating his height.

I'd say 5'9, then wears lifts to shift his height and give us head jobs
James says on 3/Jun/11
dmeyer says on 1/Jun/11
5 ft 11

In lifts
dmeyer says on 1/Jun/11
5 ft 11
James says on 31/May/11
I think he's a lift wearer for sure esspecially when on high profile public appearences.
Chameleon says on 31/May/11
I dont recall him looking 5'11 at the Oscars next to RDJ.
adz says on 31/May/11
Adrian says on 28/May/11

Thats because he wears freaking 2 inch lifts with god knows what inside, dumbass.

So you think Jude wears 2 inch lifts plus some more inside? So 3 to 4 inch lifts? Wow....
voiceless dental fricative says on 30/May/11
The other possibility of course is that he's a lift wearer. But if he were really that height conscious, would be actually admit to being 5'9?
voiceless dental fricative says on 30/May/11
Another one with Deniro: Click Here

He's 5'11.


As far as his 5'9 claim goes, I see number of options:

1. He was joking
2. He mis-measured himself
3. He stopped measuring himself at age eighteen thinking he had stopped growing at that age, when in fact he kept growing for a few more years.
4. He is an avid fan and user of Celebheights and said it to toy with us.
Adrian says on 28/May/11
Adam says on 5/Apr/11
This guy is a legit 5' 11. He stands up well against 6 footers and looked a good couple inches than Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes.

Thats because he wears freaking 2 inch lifts with god knows what inside, dumbass.
adz says on 23/May/11
TruebloodFan says on 19/May/11

Theres more than two inches there. Stop putting down every comment which states his listed height to make yourself feel better.
TruebloodFan says on 19/May/11
@Shaun says on 16/May/11

that's a proof he's 5ft9.5 next to nowadays 5ft7.5-5ft8 De Niro.
Springer says on 16/May/11
176cm, skinny and wearing lifts at Cannes 2011.
Shaun says on 16/May/11

This is proof enough for me he aint under 5'11".
James says on 2/May/11
a few inches under 5'11 i think
adz says on 29/Apr/11
Why do people write 'end of discussion' so annoying to read. As for the 'I'm 5ft 9' comment I think he doesn't know his true height so said what he last got measured when he was 15 or something.
Bon_ says on 28/Apr/11
For rationality's sake he said he's 5'9, end of discussion
James says on 23/Apr/11
Rob do you think 178cm is possible for Jude Law?
Adam says on 23/Apr/11
"Anthony 6'2" says on 28/Mar/11
Jude Law 5'11"? Give me a break! He's tiny! 5'9.5" tops."

Wow, 1.5" difference that makes him he's tiny, lol. You're an idiot.
Pastore6foot1 says on 19/Apr/11
Its wierd that s regular 5'9" man can claim whatever height he wants, get a pair of lifts, and suddenly get everyone thinking you are 6 foot. Jude Law likes to look at himself as the perfect man, but He has at least been honest about his height, 5'9.5" seems spot on, 5'11" is s joke...
mcfan says on 15/Apr/11
Tom Hanks is not quite 6'0. Jude Law is almost 2 inches shorter than him. He's 5'10, not 5'11. I've never seen Jude Law look 5'11.
TruebloodFan says on 7/Apr/11
@Adam says on 5/Apr/11
This guy is a legit 5' 11. He stands up well against 6 footers and looked a good couple inches than Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes.

at his weak 5ft10 he stands lower that 5ft10.5ers like Nicole Kidman, that's how he stands. Downey needs a serious downgrade to 5ft6.5. Law 177cm, Downey 169cm.
rafa says on 6/Apr/11
I would say he is about 5'10.5"
Adam says on 5/Apr/11
This guy is a legit 5' 11. He stands up well against 6 footers and looked a good couple inches than Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes.
TruebloodFan says on 2/Apr/11
Law, unlike the here 5ft9.5 listed Gibson, van Damme and Assante who are(or at least were) in reality 175cm, could actually be a true 177cm. but he isn't 180cm. More proof that he's 5ft9.5 is that he's one inch taller than 5ft8.5 Damon(who's 5ft10 listing IMO is the weirdest here), as James said.

Anthony 6ft2? you must feel like a real freak surrounded by all those 5ft9 'tiny' 'midgets'. although you are wrong calling 5ft9 tiny, instead yourself big, you are right about Law being 5ft9.5.
horacle says on 2/Apr/11
at least 180 cm (5'11)
Anthony 6\'2\" says on 28/Mar/11
Jude Law 5'11"? Give me a break! He's tiny! 5'9.5" tops.
James says on 27/Mar/11
5'11 is the start of tall. Jude looked 5'9 with 5'8 Matt Damon. I think Jude Law is 5'9 besides why would he get so many short sightings? 5'9 itself is not short either since its classic average height.
Dominic says on 23/Mar/11
Any guy over 6ft is gonna call a guy under 6ft, short. The reality is 5'11 isnt short. I actually think Law is a legit 5'11 unlike Brad Pitt.
ticktock says on 16/Mar/11
Michael Caine, in his new bio, says that Law (as well as Tom Cruise) is "short".
TruebloodFan says on 11/Mar/11
if only I get to be a celebrity one day. being 5ft8 in reality, and saying that I'm 5ft8, I'll get listed 5ft9 at least. He is shorter than Kidman. And she's under the 5ft11 mark. 5ft11 is Sigourney Weaver territory. 175-178cm, average height man.
Rich says on 9/Mar/11
Jude truly makes it a living nightmare for guys like Rob, lol. Maybe his earlier 6ft1 modelling listing was because he is actually 5-11 and his shoes and hair was added on, that would be his 'Hollywood Height'. He seems quite chillaxed about his height and doesn't seem to wear lifts which suggest to me he's at least 5-10, looking at the photos and 5-9 would be falling abit short, pun not intended. 5-10 for him sounds right, seeing as it is exactly in the middle of 5-9 and 5-11.
Matt says on 9/Mar/11
He wasn't 2 inches taller than RDJ at the Oscars, but RDJ isn't 5'7 (closer to 5'8.25). There's no way Jude is anything other than 5'9...This isn't good for credibility, it needs to be changed
TruebloodFan says on 1/Mar/11
5ft11 is out of the question. he's average height, ranging 5ft9-5ft10. no more, no less. for once i agree with Bon - downgrade time.
TheVerve180 says on 28/Feb/11
he is 5ft10/5ft10.5, damon 5ft9/5ft9.5
Teo says on 28/Feb/11
Looked 2 inches taller than the 5'7" Downey Jr. at the Oscars.. 5'9" i think so.
Bon_ says on 25/Feb/11
one of the most ridiculous listings, he said himself he's 5'9 yet by some unknown agenda he manages to be listed at 5'11.
jtm says on 18/Feb/11
maybe to keep matt damon at 5'10 lol.
tell-em says on 17/Feb/11
he stated hes 5'9", why is he listed at 5'11"?
george says on 9/Feb/11
179 cm.
Bon says on 21/Jan/11
Downgrade time - 5'9
AnonymousIntx says on 19/Jan/11
I've read somewhere where he was claimed to be 6-1 or 2 and I thought that just couldn't be. @Rob- are all/most of these celebheights with or without shoes? Or perhaps whatever someone says? And when someone tell others their height, should one tell heights with or without shoes? Because I just tell them 5-11 though I wanna tell them 6(wearing shoes).
Legend says on 7/Jan/11
He's 5'9, no more.
Boom says on 1/Jan/11
Needs to be downgraded 1-2 inches, just saw Repo Men, looked 5'10" max.
Mr Mayfair says on 25/Dec/10
5'10'' - in his shoes...5'9'' is more like it.
Bon says on 20/Dec/10
He said 5'9. That's it.
James says on 5/Dec/10
5ft10.5-5ft11.
Edgar183 says on 29/Nov/10
Worked with the guy recently, 5'11 is about right, didnt have lifts. Good posture though
Lenad is sexy says on 28/Nov/10
probably 5ft11-ish
Anonymous says on 24/Nov/10
He said he was 5ft9: why is he therefore down as 5ft11?
Larc186-188cm says on 24/Nov/10

Looks around 5'11+ next to legit 6'1 Michael Caine (was 6'2 at peak)

Click Here

Looks close enough to listed 6'0 Rufus Sewell.

5'11 minimum for sure.
MD says on 24/Nov/10
Honestly, is there any reason why Robert Downey, Jr. rarely looked more than inch shorter than Jude Law during all their promotion for Sherlock Holmes? Was Robert Downey is lifts the entire time over that span of months?
MHouillon says on 22/Nov/10
five-ten.
Lizzie Sparrow says on 6/Nov/10
Cracks me up how many people on here--or their relatives--have "met" Jude...truly amazing! Makes me laugh even more about how everyone seems the need to state that they're several inches taller than him. LOL! Any shorter, and the way everyone who's "met" him tells it, it would seem he's just a few inches away from being a troll. Poor Jude! That's okay, I'd take him if he was 5'2; the guy's got heart and does a lot of good things for humanitarian causes--that makes him 10 feet tall in my book.
Anonymous says on 4/Nov/10
taller than you'd think. in reality, probably about 5'11
